A search on the NBC website for “Iraq War Victory” or “Victory in Iraq” yields the following response:

There were no documents that contained all of the words in your query.

People who get their news from NBC, MSNBC, and CNBC are going to be very surprised when General Electric’s media conglomorate can no longer hide the fact that we are winning in Iraq. Meanwhile, a good place to learn the truth about the war is this excellent article by Orson Scott Card.

Word from a Soldier in Iraq

On Monday I got a letter from a friend of mine who is a sergeant in the U.S. Army. With permission of his commanding officer (he does not reveal any classified information), I’m sharing it with you.

He writes: I’ve been on the ground in Iraq for a few weeks now, and thought I’d chime in with a grunt’s-eye view.

In Sadr Al-Yusifiyah, an area to the East of Anbar province (just across the Euphrates from Anbar, actually), things are moving in a very interesting and hopeful direction. About six months ago, something happened that the Americans are calling “The formation of the CLC,” and the locals are calling “The Awakening.”

Last time, they did it in Camp David, with Bill Clinton. Is doing it with George W. Bush in Annapolis next week be any more satisfying? What is it with failed lame duck Presidents that they feel compelled to solve the Palestinian “problem” on the last day of their last term? The following two BBC articles foretell the shame we are about to witness.

That was then.

Clinton’s Mid-East peace plans

By BBC News Online’s Tarik Kafala

The United States’ compromise proposals for ending the Palestinian-Israeli conflict seem to offer the best chance of reaching an agreement in the near future, despite the serious reservations of both sets of negotiators.

Against a background of months of violence, many observers have been surprised that the plan has got anywhere at all.

The mood among Palestinians and Israelis is not for compromise, and even if a settlement is reached, it is far from clear that leaders on either side will be able to sell it to their sceptical supporters.

BBC News Online looks at what is known of the proposals put forward by former President Bill Clinton as he made his final bid to broker a deal in the Middle East.

Seraphic Secret has a post about Muhammad Al-Dura, the boy actor who played dead in a September 30, 2000 France2 TV production. The video, shown around the globe, catapulted Muhammad into an icon of the Palestinian uprising. Despite the bad acting, the entire population of planet Earth believed that Al-Dura really died. Masterful editing by Charles Enderlin, a Jew-hating French Jew, did the trick. Enderlin simply erased the weak scenes, like the one showing the boy move moments after an Arab chorus dramatically pronounced him dead.

Muhammed Al Durah is alive. My guess is that he’s in a madrassah somewhere in Pakistan or Sudan. Meanwhile, his father makes a nice living traveling about the Muslim world signing pictures of his “dead son” much like O.J. Simpson signing memorabilia at sports conventions.

Unlike Al-Dura, Yuval Abedeh and Dorit Benisian are dead, victims of a Kassam rocket fired by Al-Dura’s relatives from Gaza. Their death did not induce global outrage, no UN resolutions, but the very fact that they existed illuminates the greatness of the Jewish soul and the magic that is the state of Israel.

In the early 1990s when our wife was studying Hebrew in an Ashdod Ulpan, the place was swarming with newly arrived Ethiopians. The kids urinated in the washing machine, confusing it with a toilet. Today those kids are engineers in the the factory that produces washing machines. That is the miracle of Israel. In less than a generation, a mere ten years after their parents escaped a primitive life in Ethiopia, Yuval and Dorit could look forward to life as scientists, engineers, or artists. We mourn their loss and cry with the Jews of Sderot.

Yuval Abebeh

Sept 29, 2004 – On the eve of the Sukkot holiday, Yuval Abebeh, 4, and Dorit Benisian, 2, both of Sderot, were killed by a Kassam rocket fired from Gaza.

Al Gore’s lust for power and money is distorting reality. His climate change cult will not survive as long as Islam, but it already has more believers. It will, most likely, flame out quickly, like communism, leaving the human species poorer in its wake. Gore is using his newly discovered powers as cult leader to collect tithe from the believers (mostly Hollywood idiots with lots of money). Like Constantine, who used Christianity to unify the empire, the UN is muscling in on Gore’s cult and using it to control the world.

The Earth is hurtling toward a warmer climate at a quickening pace, a Nobel-winning U.N. scientific panel said in a landmark report released Saturday, warning of inevitable human suffering and the threat of extinction for some species.

After five days of sometimes tense negotiations, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change adopted its fourth and final report this year, along with a summary, on the science of climate change and the effects of human-produced greenhouse gases.

In Saudi Arabia getting gang raped is a crime almost as severe as complaining about it. Recently, a rape victim was sentenced to six months in jail and 90 lashes. She appealed and won a retrial. In the second trial, the court doubled the number of lashes. Evidently, the “judges” were upset that she whined to the press. The rape victim will now receive 200 lashes.

Riyadh – A court in the ultra-conservative kingdom of Saudi Arabia is punishing a female victim of gang rape with 200 lashes and six months in jail, a newspaper reported on Thursday.

The 19-year-old woman – whose six armed attackers have been sentenced to jail terms – was initially ordered to undergo 90 lashes for “being in the car of an unrelated male at the time of the rape”, the Arab News reported.

But in a new verdict issued after Saudi Arabia’s Higher Judicial Council ordered a retrial, the court in the eastern town of Al-Qatif more than doubled the number of lashes to 200.

On October 2, 2001 we wrote about Muhammad Al Dura, the 12 year old boy actor who played dead in a France2 TV video production. PajamaMedia has a blow by blow report by Nidra Poller on the Paris courtroom proceedings in the case of France2 and Charles Enderlin versus Philippe Karsenty.

In response to an order issued by the Appellate Court for handover of the unedited raw footage shot by France 2 cameraman Talal Abu Rahma on the 30th of September and 1st of October 2000, the state-owned TV network produced an 18-minute CD, a certificate of conformity, and its Jerusalem Bureau Chief Charles Enderlin. This is the first time monsieur Enderlin has stood before the court since a series of lawsuits for defamation was initiated in September 2006. Enderlin said, in interviews and on his France 2 blog, that he was pleased to have the opportunity to display the raw footage and bring an end to years of unfair, unfounded accusations. French media have shunned the issue, but an array of international journalists and concerned citizens came to see the evidence and judge for themselves. The hearing was scheduled for 1:30 PM.

Of the many lame decisions President Bush has made in the fraudulently named “war on terror” the top ten would definitely include the shameful treatment of Ahmad Chalabi after the conquest of Iraq. Instead of appointing him ruler of the conquered country, Bush listened to the CIA and State Department. He chose to transfer power to the humane globalist Collin Powell. Powell and his State Department schemers managed to turn a smashing military victory into a politically correct mess.

Via Hot Air we linked to a Los Angeles Times report that the US military is talking to Ahmad Chalabi, again.

Ahmad Chalabi sits in the conference room of his compound in the Green Zone preparing to meet with Lt. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, the No. 2 U.S. military officer in Iraq.

Sunlight streams over expensive Persian carpets and modern Iraqi furniture. Chalabi wears a sober charcoal suit, but there’s a touch of the dandy in his lime-colored polka-dot tie.

Chalabi professes not to even know what the meeting is about. The general, he says nonchalantly, requested it.

As advertised, an imposing figure sporting fatigues and a shaved head strides through the door a few minutes later. “Thank you for seeing me,” Odierno says.

Ahmad Chalabi, it would appear, is back.

In her best selling book Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism, Ann Coulter tells the story of an American hero, Senator Joseph McCarthy. In the 1940s and 50s enemy agents infiltrated the US government in large numbers. Cheered on by media and academic elites, who delight in any American setback, they plotted to spread the joys of communism. McCarthy defeated them single-handedly. For that, the elites destroyed him, and not satisfied, they set out to destroy his reputation for all of eternity.Hollywood idiots scare little children with tales of McCarthyism.

However, Senator McCarthy got the last laugh. He stopped the Leftists long enough for Ronald Reagan to defeat the Evil Empire. In 1989, the USSR collapsed like a deck of cards. Americans are free today because Joseph McCarthy fought the Commies and won.

A new scholarly book by M. Stanton Evans vindicates McCarthy’s lonely, heroic struggle to save America. Ann comments in McCarthyism: The Rosetta Stone of Liberal Lies.

The great M. Stanton Evans has finally released Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America’s Enemies . Based on a lifetime’s work, including nearly a decade of thoroughgoing research, stores of original documents and never-before-seen government files, this 672-page book ends the argument on Joe McCarthy. Look for it hidden behind stacks of Bill Clinton’s latest self-serving book at a bookstore near you.

How dumb is Olmert, really? Dumb enough to give away Gaza, Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem. Dumb enough to demand in return that the PA accept Israel as a Jewish state.

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert intends to demand that the Palestinian Authority accept Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state in upcoming negotiations. This will be Israel’s precondition for any further negotiations with the PA, according to Channel 2 TV.

The report said that by making this simple demand, Olmert will be forcing the PA to give up its hope of making Israel accept an Arab influx into its borders (the “right of return” of “refugees”). If the PA accepts the condition, it will become that much simpler for Olmert to make concessions of his own.

So, he is just tricking them. Once they accept that Israel is a Jewish state, he can shower more goodies on them. What is left to concede? Tel Aviv?

Turns out the Prime Minister is not only dumb, he is a dumb crook. The idiot couldn’t even take a bribe without getting caught. Israeli police raided 20 offices to collect evidence against the crook.

One hundred policemen raided some 20 government and other offices Sunday morning, in search of evidence in the investigations against Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.

Condoleezza Rice is determined to keep appeasing until everybody in the world likes her. She has already done a threesome with Mahmud Abbas and King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. She hasn’t slept with the bearded jihadis of Hamas yet. God knows she wanted to, but they just spurned all her shameless advances.

Now, she is flirting with the mad ayatollahs and their dancing puppet, Mahmud Ahmadinejad. Breitbart.com reports that she is more than eager to appease the Iranian.

Secretary of state, Condoleezza Rica, denied Sunday that the United States was bent on war with Iran and renewed an offer of reconciliation talks if the Islamic republic renounces its nuclear drive.

Interviewed on ABC television, Rice was pressed on a Senate resolution passed in September that labeled Iran’s Revolutionary Guards a terrorist operation — a step that critics said had brought war nearer.

She said that President George Bush was clear “that he’s on a diplomatic path where Iran comes into focus.”

“Obviously, it can be the case that he will never take his options off the table, but this particular resolution has nothing to do with that from our point of view,” Rice said referring to the prospect of military force on Iran.
