Of course it is really interesting in a way to see just how this is being played on the left side of the blogs.

Media Matters (accolades to St. Hillary the 1st)are saying that sure it’s down, but gee whiz haven’t you dumb people figured out it’s all because secretarian cleansing has done it’s magic and guess what every blog on their action email list is saying exactly the same thing. The thought Fatawa Police are on the case so all is well.

Instead of even opportunity reporting the news the only way most people will ever see it is if they say Gee where’s the car bomb a day story gone. Let me have a look around on the net to see what the deal is. Car bombs replace by moving vans..oh my!

Another excellent barometer for success in Iraq is the Sunday “news” shows.

For weeks, Iraq has barely been mentioned, and certinly NOT the main focus.

That line by Wordsmith regarding bin Laden’s last message bears repeating (I’m paraphrasing): “Who will be the last jihadi to die in Iraq for a mistake?”

If trends continue then it will be undoubtedly clear that both Al Queda, and Iranian backed Shia extremisim in Iraq have been defeated. President Bush’s grand “keystone” strategy in Iraq will have been vindicated.

Support among Muslims for the idea of violent jihad against infiedels is already starting to fall in polls.

The worm is beginning to turn. And as worms do, they will seek out the rotting and corrupted ideology of Islamic radicalism and it’s cousin, self-loathing Western defeatism.

There’s been dramatic progress in Iraq for the past year now, and while it has been reported, it hasn’t been anywhere nearly as reported as failures in the past. I watched the debate the other night and laughed every time the Democratic Party Presidential wannabees talked about ordering a withdrawal from Iraq. They’ve been so busy pimping their rhetoric on the road that none of them noticed the withdrawal was ordered back in September. There they stood, lined up like nutcracker dolls with their mouths parsing ways to promise withdrawal from Iraq in the hope (expectation?) that their entire audience wouldn’t notice it’s already starting.

Good news is there, but it ain’t at KOS, Huffpo, Truthout, Buzzflash, Bartcop, etc. Why? Because if it happens as hoped and expected, then US forces are scheduled to be largely withdrawn from Iraq BEFORE the Nov08 election…removing the Iraq war as the central driving issue for Democrats.
