Award: Most Accurate Encapsulated Description of the War in Iraq

By Demosophist

To The Michael Yon [Not Wretchard. Sheesh one would think you guys would've saved me some embarrassment by cluing me in to the mistake. At least I had the link right.]:

The enemy in Iraq does not appear to be weakening; if anything, they are becoming smarter, more complicated and deadlier. But this does not mean they are winning; to imply that getting smarter and deadlier equates to winning, is fallacious. Most accounts of the situation in Iraq focus on enemy "successes" (if success is re-defined as annihiliation of civility), while redacting the increasing viability and strength of the Iraqi government, which clearly is outpacing the insurgency.

1 hey, the German soldiers fighting for Hitler and the Nazi regime during WWII became more deadly in defence as the war turned against them....the Germans were fanatics in defence, ask any American or Russian veteran how inventive and hard to do=ig out those German soldiers where...during the last two years or so,look at all the deadly weapons the Germans came up with to slow down and try and defeat the Allied advances.....during the Battle for Berlin, the Russians suffered half and million casualties due to the fanatic and desperate German last ditch defence...they knew they had lost but they fought to the bitter end...thats how these Islamicfascists will fight even though they know in their hearts that the end for them is coming...its to be expected.....most armies/soldiers{excpet the French of course} will fight like cornered, wounded animals and those are most dangerous but you know they will soon expend what little strenght they have left in one last flury of energy

3 To hell with that place and their oil, we can make our own biodiesel and get our money and troops back from the sand!!!! I don't suppose it would do any good to point out that oil is only one small part of what's going on, or that such simple-minded reductionism is the very essence of idiotarianism? Try looking at a map.

4 I disagree. The fact that they are attacking their own kind shows their frustation. Now they just target anyone. I believe terrorism has become a way of life for many muslims. It's employment. They receive applause from religious fanatics, aid and comfort from liveral cowards and money from those playing both sides. Free weapons, free room and board, all expenses paid. Now that they are deduced to killing other muslims its a job. They really don't know how to end what they started in the name of religion. Once terrorism starts its hard to end. The participants cannot stop because they (justly) carry a death sentence over their heads for the crimes they have committed. So they must continue on. Soon the main populance will turn against them with fervor. How can a citizen of any country forgive them for blowing up his children? Good will win. It just takes time.
