Vice President Cheney Speaks Of Progress In Iraq


Vice President Cheney Speaks Of Progress In Iraq

Vice President Cheney addressed troops at Fort Drum in New York yesterday, giving encouraging news of the progress in Iraq.  ABC News reports Citing the stepped-up training of Iraqi security forces, their ability to control more territory and carry out missions on their own, Cheney said: "We have been making steady progress.

Vice President also praised Democratic Senator Joe Lieberman s statements last week on the danger of pulling out Iraq prematurely.  The Washington Times reports After visiting troops in Iraq last month, Mr. Lieberman said: Almost all of the progress in Iraq and throughout the Middle East will be lost if those forces are withdrawn faster than the Iraqi military is capable of securing the country. Mr. Cheney said Mr. Lieberman was entirely correct .We disagreed on some issues, but we stand together on this war

The President`s Plan For Victory


The President`s Plan For Victory

During an emotional speech today at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD, the President explained his exit strategy for Iraq to an audience of Navy Cadets. He said To all who wear the uniform, I make you this pledge: America will not run in the face of carbombers and assassins so long as I am your commander in chief. He asserted that "no artificial timetables [will be] set by politicians in Washington." The President promised to stay the course, and troop levels will decrease over time, as Iraqis continue to take on more of the security and civilian responsibility themselves.

In support of the President s consistent strategy, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld said, as quoted in this Time Magazine article, Quitting is not an exit strategy Cutting and running is unspeakable if we retreat from Iraq, the terrorists will pursue us and our allies, expanding the fight to the rest of the region and our own shores.

Battle Of Tal Afar


Battle Of Tal Afar

In case you missed it, The Wall Street Journal writes today about the battle of Tal Afar and how it could be a turning point in the war against terrorists in Iraq. Among the key points of the story:

  • In recent days Iraqi forces -- yes, Iraqi forces -- have led the largest urban assault [in Tal Afar] since the liberation of Fallujah last November.
  • Iraqis are leading the fight and, most important, many will stay so the people of Tal Afar can begin to believe they can live free of terrorist intimidation.
  • [A] force of about 5,000 Iraqis and 3,800 Americans had killed at least 157 terrorists, detained 440 suspects, and discovered 34 weapons caches.
  • The Tal Afar operation calls into question the contention of war critics like Senator Joe Biden that there are only a handful of Iraqi troops capable of meaningful operations. In fact, U.S. commanders classify about 40 battalions -- roughly 750 soldiers in each -- as "fully independent" or able to fight "in the lead."
  • A U.S. officer with detailed knowledge offered us this assessment: "The Tal Afar operation has been a sweeping success for the Iraqi Security Forces in many ways. There is an Iraqi Army Brigade headquarters with four infantry battalions, a Special Police Commando Brigade headquarters with two battalions, and an Army Transportation battalion in the fight up there. The Police Commandos and one of the Army battalions were flown there by the Iraqi Air Force's own C-130 fleet executing their first combat support missions." Eight Iraqi soldiers and one American have died in the offensive.
