Second British Newspaper Notices We're Winning, American Media Still Clueless
By Captain Ed on War on Terror
The Guardian (UK) follows up on a report yesterday by the Financial Times that the Iraqi elections have severely undermined at least the native insurgency, and have even resulted in an internecine war among them.
Now they're starting to fighting amongst themselves, which usually indicates a terminal condition for insurgencies. After all, the native Ba'athists want to live in Iraq, while the foreign Islamists only want to stay in Iraq for specific reasons that have nothing to do with joining Iraqi society. They want to use the Iraqis to create a greater ummah and an Arabian tyranny that has passed from favor.
The combined pressure of credible American power and Iraqi freedom has created a crucible which has crushed the so-called insurgency and will cause it to completely collapse, probably within weeks. If the Saddamite remnants can work out a realistic amnesty program, probably involving the identification of Zarqawi network managers, the Sunni will finally start fully participating in the political process and the Islamists will have lost Iraq for good.
Remember when we spoke last year, in the apex of the insurgent attacks prior to our election, how the terrorists attempted to stage a Tet Offensive? It appears that's exactly what happened -- except this time, the majority of the American public didn't fall for it. They've lost, and they know it, even if the Washington Post and New York Times still has failed to report it for a second day now. |
