Progress 4

"Car Bombs Kill 100's" does not sound like progress. But in the details, we can find hope. The latest bombings were far from Baghdad. And they weren't even in Baqubah, the latest focal point of fighting.

-------------------
The attacks in northern Salahadin and along the Iranian border highlight the progress of the Baghdad Security Plan, al Qaeda's capabilities in Diyala, and current holes in the Iraqi security forces in the region. First, the major attacks were conducted for away from the center of gravity in Iraq, which is Baghdad, or even the center of gravity in Diyala, which is Baqubah. A major goal of the Baghdad Security Plan is to secure the capital and the outlying regions.
-------------------

Alas, the bombings had their effect. The media played up the death count and the blood photos. This is why Al Qaeda conducts these bombings. So you, you Americans, can see that this is a hopeless fight. But it's not. Your media is falling for the enemy propaganda, hook line and sinker. If you don't seek out the truth, you're bound to fall for the enemy's bait, too.

This war is not over by a long shot. Follow along with Bill Roggio. He brings you the context behind the headlines of the war. And the context cannot be misinterpreted.

Al Qaeda is making a comeback
The Taliban are stronger than ever in Pakistan/Afganistan
The "Surge" has allowed bombers to expand outside Bagdad with bigger deadlier consiquences
The Iraq civil war is getting worse

Anonymous - We have at agree to disagree on the facts.

Al Qaeda is making a comeback - Where? How so? Show me some evidence on this? Just the other day we caught the #1 Iraqi Al Qaeda.

The Taliban are stronger than ever in Pakistan/Afganistan - Wrong. Yes, they currently have a safe haven, but they are not getting into Afganistan.

The "Surge" has allowed bombers to expand outside Bagdad with bigger deadlier consiquences - Wrong again. The Surge has pushed them out of Baghdad which was the point of the Surge, thus, by your own account, the Surge has already been a success.

The Iraq civil war is getting worse. - What evidence of this do you have? My links clearly show that the civil society is emerging out from under the oppression of Al Qaeda and Iran.

Iraqi troops are deserting (with US training) - What evidence of this do you have?

Where is the progress? - The progress is in the articles and facts that I like to. You see, Anonymous, the difference between you and I is that I comment based on factual, reliable accounts. You spout Harry Reid talking points designed solely for political gain and with no regard for the future security of America.

Thanks you again for continuing to visit Geoffosphere. Believe it or not, I do listen to you and I think about what you say. But your comments are not convincing when they are the some one-liners anyone can read on CNN or the BBC.
