Michael Yon: "al Qaeda Has Lost or Will Lost in Iraq"

Who reports new from Iraq better than the MSM? Michael Yon, that's who. From Yon's dispatch:

Despite spending enormous energy trying to win their war in Iraq, it seems safe to say that al Qaeda has lost or will lose in Iraq. Yet even on the ropes, al Qaeda is still dangerous. They still blow up bridges and attack power stations. But so many groups have turned on al Qaeda that they are having a difficult time just breathing. They are still present and dangerous, but even Ansar al Sunhah has turned against them. When a group as crazy as Ansar al Sunnah turns against al Qaeda, AQ must be evil.

(HT: Little Green Footballs)

Americans are growing more positive about war in Iraq.

Meanwhile, what are Democrats in Congress doing to reward our soldiers and employees of our military? Why, throwing them out of work, of course.

This is exactly the sort of thing that Hugh Hewitt was posting about earlier this year when he strongly advised the GOP not to agree to a YouTube debate. Now Jack Cafferty at the New York Times is promoting the whole Gays in the Military schtick.

Some are calling for:  Save the Debate, Ditch CNN  (HT: Instapundit)

Hillary Clinton Is Clearly a Cold and Unlikable Person

Rush Limbaugh characterizes Hillary as being like one's ex-wife. Sounds exactly right. "You can't put in what God left out."

Democrats Just Can't Get Enough of Defeat

Democrats have clearly defined themselves as the party of defeat in Iraq and in the War on Terror. With the success of The Surge in Iraq, and violence in that country continuing to drop, the Democrats in the US House unbelievably predictably want to force us into defeat.
