OT--9 point jump in number of Americans who now believe US is winning the War on Terror.
 
December 2, 2005--Confidence in the War on Terror is up sharply compared to
a month ago. Forty-eight percent (48%) Americans now believe the U.S. and
its Allies are winning. That's up nine points from 39% a month ago and
represents the highest level of confidence measured in 2005.

As goes Iraq, so goes Bush's poll numbers.

He never used those numbers.


a.. Terrorists affiliated with or inspired by Al Qaida make up the smallest
enemy group but are the most lethal and pose the most immediate threat
because (1) they are responsible for the most dramatic atrocities, which
kill the most people and function as a recruiting tool for further terrorism
and (2) they espouse the extreme goals of Osama Bin Laden -- chaos in Iraq
which will allow them to establish a base for toppling Iraq's neighbors and
launching attacks outside the region and against the U.S. homeland.
a.. The terrorists have identified Iraq as central to their global
aspirations. For that reason, terrorists and extremists from all parts of
the Middle East and North Africa have found their way to Iraq and made
common cause with indigenous religious extremists and former members of
Saddam's regime. This group cannot be won over and must be defeated --
killed or captured -- through sustained counterterrorism operations.

Harry,
Have you noticed even the Dem's don't want to set a timetable to pull out

of
Iraq.


"Kerry drones that we need to "set benchmarks" for the "transfer of
authority." Actually, the administration's been doing that for two years --
setting dates for the return of sovereignty, for electing a national
assembly, for approving a constitution, etc, and meeting all of them. And
all during those same two years Kerry and his fellow Democrats have huffed
that these dates are far too premature, the Iraqis aren't in a position to
take over, hold an election, whatever. The Defeaticrats were against the
benchmarks before they were for them.
These sad hollow men may yet get their way -- which is to say they may
succeed in persuading the American people that a remarkable victory in the
Middle East is in fact a humiliating defeat. It would be an incredible
achievement. Peter Worthington, the Canadian columnist and veteran of World
War II and Korea, likes to say that there's no such thing as an unpopular
won war. The Democrat-media alliance are determined to make Iraq an
exception to that rule. In a week's time, Iraqis will participate in the
most open political contest in the history of the Middle East. They're
building the freest society in the region, and the only truly federal
system. In three-quarters of the country, life has never been better.
There's an economic boom in the Shia south and a tourist boom in the Kurdish
north, and, while the only thing going boom in the Sunni Triangle are the
suicide bombers, there were fewer of those in November than in the previous
seven months.

Meanwhile, Iraq's experiment in Arab liberty has had ripple effects beyond
its borders, pushing the Syrians most of the way out of Lebanon, and in
Syria itself significantly weakening Baby Assad's regime. Saad Eddin
Ibrahim, who's spent years as a beleaguered democracy advocate in Egypt,
told the Washington Post's Jim Hoagland the other day that, although he'd
opposed the Anglo-American invasion of Iraq, he had to admit it had
"unfrozen the Middle East, just as Napoleon's 1798 expedition did. Elections
in Iraq force the theocrats and autocrats to put democracy on the agenda,
even if only to fight against us. Look, neither Napoleon nor President Bush
could impregnate the region with political change. But they were able to be
the midwives."

The Egyptians get it, so do the Iraqis, the Lebanese, the Jordanians and the
Syrians. The choice is never between a risky action and the status quo --
i.e., leaving Saddam in power, U.N. sanctions, U.S. forces sitting on his
borders. The stability fetishists in the State Department and the European
Union fail to understand that there is no status quo: things are always
moving in some direction and, if you leave a dictator and his psychotic sons
in business, and his Oil-for-Food scam up and running, and his nuclear R&D
teams in places, chances are they're moving in his direction.

Toppling Saddam was worth doing in and of itself. Toppling Saddam and trying
to "midwife" (in Ibrahim's word) a free society would be worth doing even if
it failed. But, as it happens, I don't believe it will fail, not just
because of Bush but because enough Iraqis -- Shia, Kurds and even
significant numbers of Sunnis -- are determined not to let it fail."

I answered your question...but perhaps the answer was a little bit too
subtle for your liking.

The folks who are doing most of the killing of US soldiers and Iraqis are
terrorists. They are foreign-born, and have come to Iraq to conduct
terrorist activities against the US, and anybody who supports the US.

I was born in the US. If I were trying to kill soldiers and blow up
military equipment from an invading country, I'd be a "freedom fighter".
However, if I were using roadside bombs to indescriminately kill American
citizens, American police and security forces, American government offices,
American hotels, and the forces of the invading army, I'd be a terrorist.

Kerry has two trains of thought.

If something went right, Kerry says, "I've been telling the administration to do that for months."

If something is not right, Kerry says, "I've got a plan that will fix anything."

otherwise creating mayhem for US troops?

If they're solely targeting US troops, then call them the "resistance"
movement...or "freedom fighters" if that pleases you more. But the
majority of the indiscriminate bombings and killings over there are
being conducted by terrorists...most of whom are foreign-born.



B.S. to the "foreign-born." Most of them are Iraqis. Prove otherwise,
without citing anyone in anyway connected to the lying Bush
misadministration, or anyone who reports to it.


Who would you consider a reputable source to substantiate my claim?

By adding in the words "anyone who reports to it (the Bush
administration)", you have just ruled out every member of our armed
forces.

So the only other people with eyes and ears on the ground in Iraq are the
newly elected Iraqi officials. Would you like to hear Prime Minister
al-Jafari's take on the question about who's doing the killing?


NOYB, every source I have come up with cite the numbers of foreign
insurgents to be 10% or less of the insurgency.

That's great news, John. Seeing your news sources are so much better than
ours, perhaps you wouldn't mind answering a few questions for the rest of
us. What's the current status on electricity? Sewage? Water? What's
the current unemployment rate in Iraq? What percentage of the schools are
open? What about hospitals?

Now that the situation is improving, I guess we can stop spending money
with the Lincoln Group.

Save your keystrokes for someone who cares.

Is that clear enough for you? Do you get it yet, scumbag?
We're *not* going to be engaging in dialogue, now or ever.

The number of foreign terrorists isn't what is being discussed here. We're
talking about who is doing most of the killing.

I repeated the opinion of the Bush administration, US military leaders, and
Iraq's government that the majority of the indiscriminate bombings and
killings over there are being conducted by terrorists...most of whom are
foreign-born.

Darn. I was so hoping Noyb would find some resources on his own that
weren't connected to Presidummy.


We're not arguing about how many members of the resistance movement are
foreign born. We're arguing about *who* is doing most of the indiscriminate
killing via IED attacks.

I have read that most of the *suicide* bombings are foreign born, but I
haven't read that most of the indiscriminate bombers are foreign.

There's no reason to believe Bush, his administration, or anyone who
reports to it or is beholden to it.


So then:

"Who would you consider a reputable source to substantiate my claim?"


You puzzle it out, and come back when you have some legitimate data.


In other words, "I know your claim is true, but I don't want to see the proof."

setting dates for the return of sovereignty, for electing a national

Kerry has two trains of thought.


That's two more than Bush or you have.
