Mookie Al Sadr is giving up. Yep, the Mahdi army is goin to lay down arms:Good news out of Iraq is becoming almost a daily event: In just the past week, we learned that U.S. combat fatalities (five) dropped in July to a low for the war, that key leaders of al Qaeda in Iraq have fled to the Pakistani hinterland, that troop deployments will soon be cut to 12 months from 15, and that Washington and Baghdad are close to concluding a status-of-forces agreement. Now this: Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr plans to announce Friday that he will disarm his Mahdi Army, which was raining mortars on Baghdad's Green Zone as recently as April. Coupled with the near-total defeat of al Qaeda in Iraq, this means the U.S. no longer faces any significant organized military foe in the country. It also marks a major setback for Iran, which had used the Mahdi Army as one of its primary vehicles for extending its influence in Iraq
See, this was done by our American soldiers. It was not the confluence of other events and we just got lucky. It is happening BECAUSE of the SURGE, not in spite of it. But don't tell that to the Obamessiah and his acolytes, who are even now writing the Gospels of ABC, NBC, et. al. It is truly disgusting when facts fly in the face of this clown's spew and all the media can do is get out the intern kneepads. Do you think this would have been done by sitting down and having tea? I think not.
Barry was wrong about the Surge, but he refuses to admit it. No, instead he obfuscates and flips and flops and sounds more like a boob than a leader.
