Here is another e mail that I received  from a Marine who is on his thrid tour to the middle east which would further dispell a few more myths perpetuated by the liberal left wing twits.... Just one more example (with a good deal of humor) to add to my growing (but no where near complete) list of evidence and answers ... surge not working? Support the troops by sending them home? (uh, this is a volunteer military and here is one of many Marines who is on his third deployment when he could just as easily have resigned his commission and made a great deal more money in the private sector), Al Quaida was never in Iraq?

•  "Eighteen American soldiers died in May, the lowest total of the war and an 86 percent drop from the 126 who died in May 2007."

·         It will be an interesting campaign if the Dems continue to pull the get out of Iraq because we are losing schpeel - - just wonder if any journalist will have the guts to say, "Um, excuse me, last we checked, we're winning."

·         The surge didn't work in Iraq…………….no really, they said that, or should I say continue to say that.

Local Sheiks in our area have continued to tell of stories about how life was with Al-Qaida present. The evil that existed and now, its not a new way of life, it's a new era.

Economy growing, shops opening, insurgents are now the outcast..... not the shop owner, not the Iraqi Policeman - the insurgents. I remember how it was on my previous deployments; it was not a good way of life for any of the above, except for the enemy.

Now things are  in the peoples hands. Why can't some Americans see this? Why can't they see the growth of the Iraq's, their leadership taking steps, their cohesion? Maybe  those that deny it see it but ignore it. The insurgents see this, and they hate it.  Maybe a letter from one insurgent to another would read like this.
