Wars are not won in a day.
The hand-wringing over the Basra operations launched by Nouri al-Maliki may have missed the bigger picture, according to an analysis by the AP. Maliki’s efforts to rein in rogue Shi’ite militias have been received with enthusiasm from Kurds and Sunnis in Iraq and have strengthened efforts at national reconciliation. Leaders of both groups have issued statements of support for the Iraqi Army operations to regain control of the nation’s second-largest city
This by the AP?
The MSM has been brain dead about Iraq since day one. It is not a country like the US. It is composed of rival tribes with thousand year histories. It's leaders are hereditary. It's religion is foreign and violently sectarian. It is at the epicenter of Islamofascism. Iraq is "Normandy" in the battle against the new caliphate. It's not a war from which we can withdraw; it will follow us home. If we try, it will last many generations and lead to worldwide misery and death.
The strange thing, is that it's a war that can be won without mass mobilization and on the cheap. That's why withdrawal is seen as the preferred route of Liberals who don't care to think of the consequences. Besides, they have their own domestic agenda and the war distracts from that.
As I said, the war can be fought and won without a repeat of World War 1 or 2 mobilization and regimentation. Unless we retreat. Then the cost will be immeasurable.
I told you so.
