#2 this team of special military units and intelligence personnel constituted one of the three counteroffensives that broke the back of the Iraq insurgency fueled by the Al-Qaeda in Iraq terrorist network after the 2003 invasion of the Persian Gulf country. Together with George W. Bush’s injection of 28,000 additional combat troops in 2007

Wait a minute! George W. Bush did something right?
That's sacrilege! What happened to Bushchimphitler? What happened to "A village in Texas is missing its idiot?" It's funny how the democrats can't talk about success in the Middle East without giving credit to GWB.

#5 I may not be a smart man...nor an intellectual like y'all, but I can recognize that Iraq was a disaster and vdh influenced Bush and Cheney into entering that debacle. But, hey I am can't match wits with a guy like vdh what with all his combat patches and all.

That said, tizzy over... - our SOF and their target generation machine are indeed very special.
