General Petreaus Explains Surge Success

Still the Marxist liberal left insists we fail in Iraq - anything less will not meet the agenda of total collapse of the American way of life - The Marxists in our congress are very happy with the financial disaster that we are in now, a disaster they caused, as this is good for their plan for reorganizing and re-education of the American population.

Obama speaks out of both sides of his mouth - 'yes we are succeeding but we must get out now to save lives', which means he wants another Vietnam were the Democrats cut funding for that war and 2.5 million people died, were murdered. Yes, that's right, they didn't care then and they don't care now. It's not about life and death, it's about power and control.

Vote Democrat? I think not!

While American forces have made substantial progress in Iraq, Gen. David Petreaus said today at The Heritage Foundation, the progress is still fragile and reversible.

Nevertheless, the situation is much less fragile than before, explained Petraeus, the architect of the successful surge strategy in Iraq. In June 2007, before the surge, there were 180 insurgent attacks per day in Iraq. Today, there are fewer than 25 daily attacks.

Petraeus explained the military's comprehensive strategy for building widespread security and order in Iraq.

For example, Iraqis are investing money in their infrastructure and contracting with major U.S. businesses to stimulate economic growth. In addition, efforts to instill political unity through reconciliation have started to pay off.

After receiving extended welcome applause, the future commander of the U.S. Central Command insisted he accept the recognition on behalf the Iraq veterans he called "the new Greatest Generation."

Heritage Foundaton members and members of press packed Allison Auditorium for the general's briefing. Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was in attendance.
