Right On The Right

Just as Boehner said, we're winning. New documents seized from al-Qaeda in Iraq are proving just that, and are proving that al-Qaeda is in a weakened position from just years ago. Charles at LGF shares with us the contents of one of the documents:

In the Anbar document, the author describes an Al Qaeda in crisis, with citizens growing weary of militants’ presence and foreign fighters too eager to participate in suicide missions rather than continuing to fight, said Rear Adm. Gregory Smith, a U.S. military spokesman.

“We lost cities and afterward, villages... We find ourselves in a wasteland desert,” Smith quoted the document as saying.

The memo — believed to have been written in summer 2007 — cites militants’ increasing difficulty in moving around and transporting weapons and suicide belts because of better equipped Iraqi police and more watchful citizens, Smith said.

Charles goes on to mention that one of the candidates for President called the Iraq War a "Complete Failure" back in August. We will win this war, but only if we continue electing leaders that understand the stakes of our conflict, and only if we support our fighting men and women.
