Plan B?

"On Monday the 1st of January 2007, the Iraq News Agency reported on an important development; the following is a paraphrase of their report:

U.S. army announced that it has killed six “terrorists” and arrested another two during heavy fighting in Baghdad while attacking the headquarters of the National Dialogue Front, led by Dr. Saleh Al-Mutlaq. The army statement assured that the raid was based on an intelligence report that indicated the area has been used as a safe sanctuary for Al-Qaeda in Iraq members for executing attack plans.

The statement claims that while approaching the targeted area, the U.S. army received heavy fire from automatic machine guns and grenades from several near building tops. The statement continues that the allied forces returned fire on the source of the attack killing two terrorists. Meanwhile, several others fled to a 3rd building, adding that allied forces also managed to get a foothold in a near by building, which led to the killing of four terrorists and the apprehending of another.

led Dr. Saleh Al-Mutlaq today and asked him about what happened, and his account is very different. Dr. Al-Mutlaq said that the U.S. and Iraqi forces surrounded his party’s headquarters in Baghdad after midnight and that a brief exchange of fire took place, so he tried to contact the U.S. embassy and U.S. army to understand what was happening and to clarify that his guards thought they were being attacked by militias when they fired back, and that they didn’t know the U.S. army was involved."

If any of this is true, "big if", if you ask me, all I can say is Thank god, the gloves are coming off, and we are going to fight the war, to win the war. Something which I predicted following the democratic congressional sweep.

Prolonging the war no longer hold any political advantages. As a matter of fact, it's now seen as a disadvantage, if not won in a very short order, the democrats could been seen as the party that won the war, in the long run. So you can understand why the administration, and the republican party might see it in their interest to achieve a quick and decisive victory now.

And you people thought that voting democrat would help the "resistance"cause....simple minds.
