The Surrender Monkey is not a happy camper. Progress just continues to, well, progress in Iraq, giving like minded individual little ability to slam the mission and call for cut and run (Operation Iraqi Freedom)
Despite the recent drawdown of coalition troops in Iraq, violence levels continue to drop as Iraqi Security Forces grow in competency and size, a senior coalition spokesman said Aug. 7.
Throughout the past few weeks, Coalition forces have drawn down troop numbers in Iraq. The last of the five original surge brigades, two Marine battalions and an Australian battle group have redeployed without the need for replacements, said Navy Rear Adm. Patrick Driscoll.
At the same time, Iraqi forces have grown by more than 148,000 troops, and the Sunni Muslim “Sons of Iraq†citizen security groups are more than 100,000 members strong, Driscoll said.
“This [Iraqi forces surge] explains how we can continue to see very low levels of violence even though [Coalition forces] have taken away a lot of combat power based,†he said.
How soon will those on the Left claim some sort of responsibility and kudos for the way things are going in Iraq?
