[Untitled] Pro-Con: Is the Iraq war over? | WE Blog: None of this means terrorism and violence in Iraq are over. Violence is never over in the Middle East, and Islamist terrorism will be with us for years, if not decades.

[Untitled] Sister Toldjah » Respect from the military will have to be earned ...: Until he’s indicated that he has realized his error in some form or another for how he spoke about them and the war in Iraq, until he proves that he realizes, contrary to claims he’s made previously, that the safety and security of Iraq is imperative to us winning in the war on terror and that the mission there must continue, he will not earn their respect beyond that they are required to give whoever sits in the big chair. Respect to them isn’t earned simply because he ran a good campaign that got him elected.

[Untitled] Jules Crittenden » Top Stories of 2008: Never mind the bias. A top story that gets no mention but is written all over AP’s list, is 2008 as the year in which the gross distortions, bias and ineptitude of top American news organizations became unavoidable, from the election to Iraq to coverage of the economic crisis. In fairness, 2007 was also a big year for media distortion, though it largely focused on still unfolding surge in Iraq at that point, and 2008 is really the year when all the strings were pulled together.

[Untitled] Michael J. Totten: Iraq is still Iraq, but end of al-Qaeda in Iraq ...: An al-Qaeda-friendly state in the distant wilds of Afghanistan was dangerous enough for the United States and for much of the world. Al -Qaeda-controlled territory in the heart of the Middle East could not be tolerated, especially since Americans were already there on the ground and could do something about it.

[Untitled] Michael J. Totten: Iraq at the End of the Surge: I would expect that Iraqis are better able to see through the social miasma in that country and therefore have a better or at least a fuller grasp of who does what and where. If all terrorists developed a mark on their foreheads so that they were obvious to all, would we be not only excused but positively justified in meting out whatever punishments we determined would be effective ?

[Untitled] Donklephant » Blog Archive » India, Pakistan take steps to prepare ...: I, for one, don’t doubt that.  The Mumbai attacks have put both sides between a rock and a hard place.  Anger over the attacks is so widespread among large segments of India’s population that India’s governing Congress Party must extract significant concessions from Pakistan of a kind that no Pakistani government, civilian or military, has ever been able to give and still survive.  There is no chance that Pakistan’s weak civilian government will arrest and extradite to India anyone associated with the attacks.  It’s even unlikely that Pakistan will directly punish lower-level militants or take serious steps to break up Lashkar-e-Taibi or Jaish-e-Muhammed.  The simple fact is that the minimum needed to placate India is more than the maximum that any Pakistani government can afford to do.

[Untitled] Commentary » Blog Archive » What’s Next in Iraq: The Iraqi Army and Iraqi Police are still shaky institutions at best, but they are much more competent than they were a few years ago. The Iraqi Army proved itself earlier this year, against nearly all expectations, when it took back areas under the control of Moqtada al Sadr’s Mahdi Army militia in Basra and Sadr City with only a limited amount of help from Americans.

[Untitled] Donklephant » Blog Archive » Generals Put Together Iraq Withdrawal ...: The plan, completed last week, envisions withdrawing two more brigades, or some 7,000 to 8,000 troops, from Iraq in the first six months of 2009, the military officials said. But that would leave 12 combat brigades in Iraq by June 2009, and while declining to be more specific, the officials made clear that the withdrawal of all combat forces under the generals’ recommendations would not come until some time after May 2010, Mr.
