US Still On The Offensive In Iraq

First it is necessary to repost this October 17, 2006 entry:


Liveshot Kerry recently gave another canned speech claiming Iraq is a "mess" and wailing about American casualties. Predictably there is a lot more to it than the MSM lets on, because what we're seeing is that the US is still on the offensive (strategic and tactical) in Iraq and the trends of recent show the enemy is indeed losing.

Of course several recent books would have you think otherwise, until one looks more closely at them.


FOLLOW-UP: Here is an interesting analysis that points out that the kind of war we are in is not one that has short-term solution but which nonetheles can produce victory.

Hello Monkee...I'm a new reader of your blog, good stuff! I'm currently reading Woodward's book "State of Denial". It's quite informative.

gvav1 - read Woodward's book with shakers of salt, never mind mere grains. Woodward doesn't inspire confidence in his coverage of these affairs.
