The Only Good Insurgent is a Dead One19,000 "MILITANTS" KILLED IN IRAQHAS USA TODAY WORRIED

by Mondoreb

USA Today seems worried about the release of figures showing that U.S. troops have killed over 19,000 "militants" since the beginning of the conflict. Although the paper has a graph labeling the deceased "enemy fighters", they start out their story by labeling the dead fighters "militants". Apparently, those guys were uber-militant. With the coverage USA Today usually provides readers, those figures probably seem shocking.

From USA Today
More than 19,000 militants have been killed in fighting with coalition forces since the insurgency began more than four years ago, according to military statistics released for the first time.
The statistics show that 4,882 militants were killed in clashes with coalition forces this year, a 25% increase over all of last year.

Just another item in what is turning out to be a 'bad news month' for Iraqi defeatmongers everywhere. The surge has shown results, MoveOn.org overplayed their weak hand and now, news of 19,000 dead Islamofascists. The Huffington Post minions must be weeping uncontrollably.

Like any good little MSM mouthpiece, USA Today is not going to let a little good news deter them from their turn-and-run mission. Accompanying the above story are pieces on "The Mental Toll" and "Defense Secretary Seeks $42 Billion". In case anyone misses the point that there can never really be any good news about Iraq, there's a video embedded in the story showing anti-war activists.

Numerous stories abound about Americans and their deficiency where mathematics are concerned. But almost all Americans can put two plus two together and arrive at four.
They can figure out that 19,000 dead "militants" over in Iraq means 19,000 less suitcase bombers, snipers and CAIR press releases over here.

19,000 dead terrorists and USA Today is worried. It may be time for other defeatist media trumpets to worry also.

DEMOCRATS ECSTATIC OVER ANOTHER CHANCE TO DECLARE "DEFEAT"

(Washington)--Partying "like it's 1976", Democratic Party leaders rejoiced Friday at, what may be, their last chance to declare "defeat" in the War in Iraq.

Leading Democrats seized on early news of a forthcoming report from the Government Accountability Office that Iraq has met only three out of 18 congressionally mandated benchmarks for political and military progress as proof
that the president’s strategy in Iraq is failing to deliver and a new direction is needed to end the violence.

Interupting a heavy schedule of funneling federal earmarks to members of his family, Senate Leader Harry Reid said, "The forthcoming GAO report offers a clear assessment that a new direction in Iraq must begin immediately". Forgetting that the 'Troop Surge' was a new direction that Reid had previously called for, aides rushed to ensure that the senator had taken his daily Altzheimer's meds.

Stores in the DC area reported a run on champaign and fireworks, as Democrats scurried to celebrate US defeat before having to confront the much more disheartening news of possible victory later this month.

In other news about the Democratic drive to counter the more sobering victory reports, Washington, DC, police reported an "unusually heavy amount" of Democratic staff DUI (driving under influence) arrests Friday evening.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said the report appears to be more negative than a July White House report on progress in Iraq, adding that President Bush is continuing to “stubbornly” refuse to change his strategy.

Citing the "lessons we painfully learned from Viet Nam", Democratic Congressional leader Nancy Pelosi Friday promised to "not quit in our struggle" to bring defeat in Iraq home to "every last man, woman and child in this great country of ours".

Democratic leaders announced late Friday evening that a candlelight vigil would be held next Tuesday to honor "past leaders of the Democratic Party, who held steady in their resolve not to let concepts of honor or victory deter us from our winning policies of defeat, both home and abroad."
