Walters once again proves she has no mind for tactics, strategy, the art of war, or even an understanding of the cultures in the lands involved.

Each move we make, will necessitate the enemy making a counter move of some form, some of them positive for the enemy, many not so.

We sometimes say, the "Enemy always gets a vote" in regards to our operations.

Her citing the fact that the JAM militants are responding to attacks on the heart of their community in Basra and its port area by firing into the Green Zone from nearby Sadr City - misses the fact that it is simply that - a response.

The surge has had EXTREMELY positive effects such as the AQ in Western Iraq has been largely eradicated, survivors having begun to atttempt to flee to their homelands.

Arabic culture respects shows of strength, and that is precisely what the Surge feasts off of.

At 3 pm on Tuesday the 8th of April 2008.

How can you say it's working ?  Right this minute Barbara has here fingers on the pulse of the war and the measuring stick of whether we are winning or loosing is the level of violence?  because she says so....

Michelle Malkin broke it all down for you here are your charts Barbara no don't get up off the sofa, you must be tired, I know you are making me tired with the same old obtuse logic..okay she calls it logic.

WALTERS: ...I’m not an authority and none of us here are...

I'm sorry, I have nothing to add. Her quote says it all.

A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.
- George Bernard Shaw, 1944

Barbra WaWa has never been a candidate for Mensa. I guess for her if a football team wins by 42 to 7 it was a lost game when the other team made the 7.

Consider that when I was growing up and into my adulthood, this is the sort of fact bending and outright lies that passed for news all my life. I can only be thankful I joined the military and later became an engineer. You must go with what works, with what is true. Or, someone can get hurt.

Thank God for the alternative news and views. It is the only thing that can save America from the onslaught of power mad socialists.

My guess is the left so wants the surge to fail they have convinced themselves if they just say it has failed, and completely ignore reality, then it has failed.  I feel sorry for old Barbara, she needs to just stick to interviewing celebrities.

Well now, Barbara has spoken. End of discussion. She knows military tactics as well as fashion and movies. This lady does it all...

As I read this, Sen Joe Biden said to Gen. David Patraeus: "Nobody denies that progress hasn't been made" (in Iraq). MSM's loony version of the war seem all the more cartoonish when one of the war's most prominent critics calls them "Nobodies".  This is almost as good as the A.P. pointing to Al Sadr removing his troops from the fight as proof that he won the recent battles in Basra and Sadr city. How do they formulate this malarkey with a straight face?

immediate satisfaction syndrome.

Ladies of the View - have a seat and listen very carefully. I know this might be hard to understand, so I'll speak s l o w l y.

In this country, we took about a year to delcare our independence from England and the king. that was 1775 - 1776. Does that year ring a bell? Good, so you do have a "sense" of history.

Now, here's the important part. It took from 1777 to 1783 to defeat the British. Ok, it was a long time ago, and travel and news took longer, but the next dates have importance.

1784 to 1790, another 6 years to form a Constitution, the law of the land. What is important about that, is the following. It took 6 years of war, then 6 years of debate, by VERY smart guys (not like the folks we have today) to form our present form of government. You guys want toknow how things are going in Iraq - think, just a little please, THINK. YOU, are asking the Iraqis to do the same thing, NOW, while the war is going on, battle bad guys, form a governement and do it on a timetable that even you don't have any idea about.

You like to think that you are always fair? Is it fair that you want people who were under the thumb of a tyrant, to do and have what we have had for over 200 years, and do it right away?  If so, they you truly are idiots, and there is no hope for you or the people who think, think, you're smart. Fortunately, there are people who know better.

There is no sense in being stupid, if you can't prove it! - my dad V

Me thinks Barbara spent too many nights alone with Rosie O'Doughnut.

Old, Retired and glad of it.

Gosh Barbara. Just go ahead and grab some pom-poms...

"Go tewwoists. go!"

"Fight tewwoists, fight!"

"Win tewwoists, win!"

When asked if he went to war with Iraq to derail the impeachment vote: “I don’t think any serious person would believe that any President would do such a thing." - President Clinton (Dec 1998).

"I mean you had everyone from Senator Clinton calling for a quick withdraw"

The only time Senator Clinton ever called for a quick withdrawal and was serious about it was with Bill about 28 or 29 years ago.  Hillary is a shrewd and crafty liar.  She knows she is not going to get her party's nomination by openly supporting the continued prosecution of the war, and she also knows that she will not get elected if she openly opposes the war, so she calls for an 'early withdrawal'.

"darling you can get all of the statistics you want, but you’ve had more violence than you’ve had in months."

This sums up the left's position on everything:  Don't confuse the issue with facts, reason and logic when we know what's right and wrong. 

keep a'movin.  Liberals have one thing in common...gray area(matter) when it comes to fact.  NOTHING is ever exact to a liberal.  Heck, 2 + 2 doesn't really mean it equals 4 long as your feelings are considered.  Those pesky statistics just can't be believed unless they come from the msm.....geez~! Moonbat alert!!!!

The Surge has been far more effective than you have ever been as a "journalist."
