Good news from Iraq
Thomas Smith, Jr. over at National Review Online is keeping tabs on the very successful major offensive taking place in Iraq. Excerpt:
"On Friday, free-Iraqi forces (totaling 2,000 men) and elements (totaling 3,000) of the U.S. 1st Infantry Division rolled into Samarra, the first of several insurgent strongholds slated for a clean sweep inside the Sunni Triangle. The targeted areas include the cities of Samarra, Ramadi, and Fallujah, as well as the Baghdad slum neighborhoods of Sadr City (largely Shiite) and Haifa Street (dubbed by locals as "Little Fallujah").
Though casualty estimates vary, approximately 125 enemy fighters have been killed in Samarra. Scores have been wounded and captured. Most of the city is now in Coalition hands. Iraqi police are directing traffic, and U.S. forces are mopping up the holdouts."
Wrong war! Wrong Time! Terrorists winning! Quagmire! Allawi's a puppet! Yada Yada! Harumph! Gloom and doom!
