Now Playing: Where is our press on this?
On Monday, the eighth, the United States military released some documents that were seized during a raid on April 16th. The raid was in an area that was twelve (12) miles south of Baghdad. It was a significant and revealing find.
The Al-Qaeda author is unknown, but officials say that they believe that this person (the author) is significant to the terrorist organization.
If you read the document, it's helpful to bear in mind that the person often refers to the government of Iraq as Shi'ites. "Al-Qaeda's own self assessment finds that A)., it is disorganized and lacks comprehensive strategery, and that B)., the Mujahideen are not considered more than a daily annoyance to the Iraqi Government.
"The terrorists lack the proper equipment. They have very small numbers compaired to the American and the Iraqi MIlitary personnel. American and Iraqi troops are strong and resilient. American outreach to Sunni leaders is harmful to the terrorist cause, and finally, 'The policy followed by the brothers in Baghdad is a media oriented policy.'" This is an Al-Qaeda document, written by an unknown writer, but it clearly indicates that these people think they are losing, and losing big time. Let me give you some of the following statements from this document. "What is fixed in the minds of the Shi'ite and Sunni population is that the Shi'ites are stronger in Baghdad and closer to controlling it, while the Mujahideen -- that's the backbone of the Sunnis -- are not considered more than a daily annoyance to the Shi'ite government.
"There's a clear absence of organization among the groups of brothers in Baghdad, the terrorists, insurgents, whether at the leadership level in Baghdad, the brigade leaders, or their groups therein. The policy followed by the brothers in Baghdad is a media oriented policy without a clear comprehensive plan to capture an area or an enemy center." Now, that is key. It is exactly what we've always thought. Al-Qaeda's playing to the US and the worldwide media without really achieving anything. They want stories in the media in this country and around the world every day to make it look like utter hell on earth is taking place.
"The Americans can't do anything to stop it! Whoa, car blew up! An IED blew up, 14 more bodies," blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But they're not accomplishing anything. By this man's own admission, they're not achieving anything because they're fighting a war in the media; they're not taking any territory. The significance of the strategy of their work is to show in the media that the American and the governments do not control the situation, and there is resistance against the Americans in the government. This policy dragged us to the type of operations that are attracted to the media, and we go to the streets from time to time for more possible noisy operations which follow the same direction but don't achieve anything.
Another item. "Most of the Mujahideen groups in Baghdad are generally groups of assassin without any organized military capabilities," and get this: "The Americans and the Iraqi government were able to absorb our painful blows, sustain them, compensate their losses with new replacements, and follow strategic plans which allowed them in the past few years to take control of Baghdad as well as other areas one after the other. That is why every year is worse than the previous year as far as the Mujahideen's control and influence over Baghdad." Now, we've intercepted previous Al-Qaeda correspondents that tells the same story, but nobody wants to listen to it. It doesn't fit the action line and the template that the Drive-By Media in this country and the Democratic Party have established.
One of the most unreported stories in the Iraq war is that Al-Qaeda terrorists are failing militarily and in terms of winning public support among the people of Iraq. Where they're succeeding is in promoting a carefully-thought-through western media strategy. "Their aim is clear. They want to engage in the type of operations that are attractive to the media in the hopes that the coverage of the war will drain American public support for it." Now, I've waited for this. This came out on Monday, late Monday afternoon. Here we are at Wednesday. We're almost 48 hours later. I wanted to wait to see if anywhere in the Drive-By Media the substance of this has been reported, and it hasn't been! It won't be. But the bottom line is, Al-Qaeda says they are losing. Their internal documents to each other, their own analysis, they are losing, and we are winning.
There is the real story for what is going on over there, but since it goes completely away from the story that the Liberals and the press want you to hear, you will never hear them talk about that.....cause it isn't doom and gloom. We need to all keep this in mind everytime that we make a mistake and read something in the press. They are liars and skew the truth with every chance they get. To them, telling the truth is a lie.
