Some More "Truth" From Iraq. . .

From Political Affirs Magazine:

Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) declared the president's "surge" a failure. In a floor speech on Tuesday, Schumer said, "The surge, by the president's own stated goal, is failing. The [Iraqi] government is weaker. The fundamentals on the ground are the same."

Up yours Chuck.

From WorldNetDaily:

As the big concrete walls went up around the area, everyone had to pass through an ECP or entry control point. Precisely the last thing a bad guy wanted to do. To reduce the risk of sniper fire, Army engineers put up the T-barriers in the dead of the night. Capt. Jennifer Krueger of the 610 BSB Delta Company oversaw the placement of 20 more concrete barriers with her dark horses. In less than a month, the entire neighborhood would become fortified, a situation intolerable for the terrorists.

Terrorists were less effective, and the neighborhood business began to flourish. The huge concrete barriers prevented stray bullets from harming shoppers. Six months earlier, 32nd Street had only 11 businesses open, and many closed as soon as the sun went down. The night we patrolled, there were well over 50 active store fronts with several applicants inquiring about the Americans' small business loans of up to $2,000. Dora had changed.

It is well worth the time to read both articles. A very enlightening moment of "truth."
