#3 As argued long ago, WOT > TO DEFEAT OR DESTROY TERROR vv 9-11 event, only for the USA to become Communist Totalitarian in the style of the USSR + Commie Bloc.

#4 Happy New Year!! Oh, it's just the 30th? I think we should start early to celebrate this joyous milestone.

The 20K deaders seem to have strained the jihadi supply line quite a bit. Yet there are 27 million people in Iraq and 1.2 billion in the Muslim world. On the basis of the sacred Vietnam mantra, lefty celebrities, pundits, and other strategists assured us that all Muslims everywhere would rise against us, and that no conventional army or nation-state could defeat a determined insurgency. Muslims are just not buying the meme, at least not when it means facing JDAMs, SF snipers, and 120mm canister shot in Iraq.

The lefties will never draw the seemingly obvious conclusion and admit they were wrong about Vietnam in the first place, of course: Garbage in, garbage out. The meme is the important thing and they will cling to it even as their world crashes down around them and their 50 year reign of cultural terror comes to an end.

Eat truth and die, hippy scum.

#5 When I see your name, Gromomble Oppressor of the Iowans8916, for some reason it brings up images of Shillary Rotten Clinton.

I like your analysis of our homegrown anti-American leftzis that have hovered over our Republic like some kind of culturesmog. They are living a lie, and will never be able to see the truth, unless something catastrophic happens to America, and my sense is that most of these braindead leftzis will go to their graves cursing America.

#7 Note that this was killed by "our troops." Which explains why the number is so strongly low balled.

"Our troops" probably doesn't count SOCOM kills, IA kills, self defense and militia kills, private contractor (like Blackwater) kills (prolly a few thousand right there), and especially those who were so vaporized that they were never counted.

It is Pentagon policy to strongly undercount enemy dead. There are all sorts of reasons for doing so.
