Naturally, the NY Times does not print articles about success, so it is nice to see that the NY Post does! This is a great article about how much has changed in Iraq in the last couple of years. The War there is all but over. The terrorists are worn out and the civilians are hunting the remainder down. Too bad that the Leftists are totally committed to an American loss! It must feel horrible to lose to American might.
HOW MARINES PULLED FALLUJAH OUT OF HELL | By RALPH PETERS | Columnists | Steve Dunleavy | Andrea Peyser: "Fallujah and the Marines have some history. In 2004, one savage battle ended when the Marines were pulled out for political reasons. Later that year, they had to finish the job. And they did. They took down the terrorists' stronghold in a week of fury.
With a fundamentalist tradition, Fallujah seemed to fit al Qaeda perfectly. Robbed of their Saddam-era privileges and out for revenge, even secular locals had aligned with the terrorists. Despite the Marine victory, violence simmered on.
The extremists and insurgents believed they could wear America down. But between 2004 and 2007, two things happened: We wore them down - and al Qaeda wore them out."
