DAMN! And Amen. I agree with Hammer, that was the best!

Oh how we could use more of him today, especially in the White House! Brilliant!

Does Qtube allow you to send videos to friends?

Oberlander….

We’re working on it! Thanks! Embed feature soon to come.

What a pathetic piece of propaganda!

It’s pretty OBVIOUS that you know NOTHING of Patton. Patton was a STUDENT OF HISTORY and a BRILLIANT tactician. He would KNOW the perils of occupation.

The words that you’re SHOVING INTO A DEAD HERO’S MOUTH, make me want to WRETCH!

Decepticon, this from a person who posted a picture of an injured child… you are the one to complain about propoganda! HA! You wretched that photo, pukeboy. Your name implies you are deceptive… just because you continue to listen to known liars like the Clintons doesn’t mean that we are stupid like you and will listen to your lies. Spread your propoganda, but we ain’t buying!

Judging from the …ahhhh…fury of Decepticon’s response one can only assume that this video has hit the dead center of it’s intended target….the complacency and historical ignorance of the far left..This video is great!

What a great voice over. Wonderful! Decpticon…once again… your ignorance does you injustice. YOUR ARE A BLITHERING IDIOT! Patton was a student of History and he was right when he said we should have taken out the Chinese and Soviets then while we have the military might and they have not. No one listend and we ended up in a Cold War with the USSR and now the Chinese Communists are making their move. If he knew the perils of occupation why did we occupy Germany and Japan you dumb a55? Becasue it was neceassary. For crying out loud go back to school and take a history cousre! Oh…Sorry you get Professors like Churchill at Colorado State saying the victims of 9/11 were nazi’s and deserved what they had coming to them.

That was extremely well done… George C. would be proud. I’m going to have to rent Patton this weekend… providing you guys haven’t gotten all the copies! What’s the best book out on Patton?

It is a damn shame that our country would forget the danger of facism so soon. After all it was less than seventy years ago we were locked in a fight to the death with Hitler and Tojo. Some of the men who fought that war are still alive! And yet we wait like sheep to be slaughtered, by filthy muslim scum.

Consavagetive, absolute genius! I can’t stop watching this video. When, oh when, will we have the embed feature? I want to send this around the world. No one could have said this as well, … maybe President Reagan. Choosing Patton was an excellent choice. Reminds me of the Robert Mitchum video, but better. I’m waiting for some plain, tough talk from ANY Republican, but I’m afraid they’ll stay in the corner like whipped pups licking their wounds.

I just wish Bush would have the guts to start the draft so we could invade Iran and stay in Iraq forever, then all the war loving republicans could go and die for Halliburton. Cheney 08!!!!

Of course, Patton would be what, 122 by now?

Sheesh, when will you Righties ever come up with a line of bullshit that is even at least partially believeable?

d

I’d like to see the look on the audience’s faces if they showed this at the MTV awards.
Shock and awe.

Hold the phone… I’ve been looking for a good place to post this and with any luck, you guys have already seen this.

This is destined to become an oft-referred-to op-ed column by two senior military analysts from the NYT that now see the war as winnable. They qualify “winnable” as not being in usual terms. But they do see what most of us have been hoping for and that is a stable Iraq that functions. That would be the single biggest second step to stability in that region, the first was deposing Sadaam Hussein. It’s not quite time to dance in the streets but it is HUGE that this comes from to former naysayers from the Times who are changing their negative opinion to a positive and based on what? Based on the work of one Gen. Patreas, The Surge, and the men and women that serve under him.

If you read anything today, I beg of you, read this. It’s important. It’s getting linked at a number of conservative websites like Bill Bennett’s, for example. That’s just in caes you have to log in and all that with the link I supplied. I’ll likely be posting this in a buch of different threads, I hope that doesn’t get on people’s nerves. If it does, Jeff, go ahead and pull it with my apologies.

A War We Just Might Win

VIEWED from Iraq, where we just spent eight days meeting with American and Iraqi military and civilian personnel, the political debate in Washington is surreal. The Bush administration has over four years lost essentially all credibility. Yet now the administration’s critics, in part as a result, seem unaware of the significant changes taking place.

Here is the most important thing Americans need to understand: We are finally getting somewhere in Iraq, at least in military terms. As two analysts who have harshly criticized the Bush administration’s miserable handling of Iraq, we were surprised by the gains we saw and the potential to produce not necessarily “victory” but a sustainable stability that both we and the Iraqis could live with.

After the furnace-like heat, the first thing you notice when you land in Baghdad is the morale of our troops. In previous trips to Iraq we often found American troops angry and frustrated — many sensed they had the wrong strategy, were using the wrong tactics and were risking their lives in pursuit of an approach that could not work.

Today, morale is high. The soldiers and marines told us they feel that they now have a superb commander in Gen. David Petraeus; they are confident in his strategy, they see real results, and they feel now they have the numbers needed to make a real difference.

Everywhere, Army and Marine units were focused on securing the Iraqi population, working with Iraqi security units, creating new political and economic arrangements at the local level and providing basic services — electricity, fuel, clean water and sanitation — to the people. Yet in each place, operations had been appropriately tailored to the specific needs of the community. As a result, civilian fatality rates are down roughly a third since the surge began — though they remain very high, underscoring how much more still needs to be done.

In Ramadi, for example, we talked with an outstanding Marine captain whose company was living in harmony in a complex with a (largely Sunni) Iraqi police company and a (largely Shiite) Iraqi Army unit. He and his men had built an Arab-style living room, where he met with the local Sunni sheiks — all formerly allies of Al Qaeda and other jihadist groups — who were now competing to secure his friendship.

In Baghdad’s Ghazaliya neighborhood, which has seen some of the worst sectarian combat, we walked a street slowly coming back to life with stores and shoppers. The Sunni residents were unhappy with the nearby police checkpoint, where Shiite officers reportedly abused them, but they seemed genuinely happy with the American soldiers and a mostly Kurdish Iraqi Army company patrolling the street. The local Sunni militia even had agreed to confine itself to its compound once the Americans and Iraqi units arrived.

We traveled to the northern cities of Tal Afar and Mosul. This is an ethnically rich area, with large numbers of Sunni Arabs, Kurds and Turkmens. American troop levels in both cities now number only in the hundreds because the Iraqis have stepped up to the plate. Reliable police officers man the checkpoints in the cities, while Iraqi Army troops cover the countryside. A local mayor told us his greatest fear was an overly rapid American departure from Iraq. All across the country, the dependability of Iraqi security forces over the long term remains a major question mark.

But for now, things look much better than before. American advisers told us that many of the corrupt and sectarian Iraqi commanders who once infested the force have been removed. The American high command assesses that more than three-quarters of the Iraqi Army battalion commanders in Baghdad are now reliable partners (at least for as long as American forces remain in Iraq).

In addition, far more Iraqi units are well integrated in terms of ethnicity and religion. The Iraqi Army’s highly effective Third Infantry Division started out as overwhelmingly Kurdish in 2005. Today, it is 45 percent Shiite, 28 percent Kurdish, and 27 percent Sunni Arab.

Okay, that’s only half the article. I encourage you to check it out. As I said, it’s not time to dance in the streets but we have to acknowledge the significance of a a newspaper with a decidedly leftist bent sucking it up to print this. Now, the big test is how much coverage this gets and the spin that will come from the left. I’ll be watching Kos and Huff to see what their takes on it are.

Happy reading.

You bastards, Patton was the greatest general of all of history, how dare you use him for your propaganda. He was far too wise to ever fall for your lies.

Loved it, and can just imagine what he would have said the some of the whining pin heads speaking out here. Patton has ZERO respect for liberals.

wow New Horizon speaks to the dead and can tell what Patton thinks. What Patton really thinks is the George W was a wussy for not fighting in Vietnam and then sending National Guard troops to their deaths without any plan and the right equipment. I know, I just got off the phone with him. hehehehehe

Futs, you want to name call, fine. You’re a jerk and a pretentious one at that. ES, you seem to have no problem with Futs communing with Patton’s spirit but condemn NH for offering a thought about what Patton may have thought. I have to say I miss Mr. P.’s contribution for at least there was some cogent thought however we may have disagreed. He was the only one of you leftists worth talking to.

BRAVO!

Fut:HOW DARE YOU!! Patton would of have objected that you placed his name next to your utterance of “bastard” in your contempt. He would be appalled that you USED his name in your shameless propaganda in an attempt to disparage the positive message expressed in this video. ….As a matter of facts, knowing Patton’s history, I believe he would feel very proud & honored that we are echoing his honorable name “PATTON” as a BENCHMARK for ‘VICTORY’ & ‘LEADERSHIP’!! ….IT IS WE WHO SINGS OF HIS NAME “Patton” IN HIGH PRAISE…..WHY do you lefties always want to destroy a good thing? ….have you lefties anything positive to say about anything or anyone at all??….you are a JERK!!

PRINCET.:Thanks for posting that piece very IMPORTANT news!!..it is a must read by everyone….can you believe it from the NYT & couple liberal think tank guys……

Love this one.

General Patraes needs to use this speach next week.

As to the liberals up in arms about using a great American Hero for what they refer to as ‘the right’s propaganda’: yeah you would like it if we didn’t have the freedom to do creative and clever things like this. Liberals are not thinkers and doers! It’s the conservatives that have fought hard to keep you cozy and comfortable with the freedoms you currently enjoy. Such hypocrits. They just can’t see the forest for the trees!
And princetrumpet, you are right, I believe even Mr. P would appreciate this clever and creative video. He’s about the only truly educated one in the bunch. Why is he liberal??? Oh well.
Oh and to those who want to forward this video, go to the creator’s website and then copy/paste the link into an email and sent it to your friends. That should work, although I didn’t try it. (He lists his website in the credits following the video)

If Patton were alive today, not only would he say what is in the above video, he was demand an answer from congress as to why we have let the Iranians and Koreans bully us, threaten us, and then defend them against “American Terrorism”.

He would want to know why our country is controlled by the left wing media.

And decepticon, if you had bothered to read his book instead of spend your time spewing bullshit on this website, you would already KNOW that he believed in beginning a full offense before the threat even began to emerge.

Stop running your mouth and maybe you’ll learn something.

GunMonkey:I agree with what you said. If General Patton is here today, the media & the congress would be more accountable, and we would not be having all this unrelenting “IRAQI " & "terrorism” issues.

Patton was too great of a true and real American Hero who loved his country to preserve freedom. But what this Bush administration did was restrict our freedom, and send young men and women off to war to die for Halliburton and oil, NOT FREEDOM. I love my country, and I am proud to be a patriot, but loving your country and being patriotic is not blindly agreeing with the president and going off to war at the drop of a hat. It is knowing when your country has done wrong and having the courage to fix the problems not to just continue and let future generations solve my problems.

My My how things change in just a month, from an “insurgent civil War” to We won… Thank you General Petraeus, Moonbats above read it and weep.

This should be shown in every college classroom and on the evening news,every day,until people complain.Then it should be played every morning too.AMEN! Mr. Kaminski you have done a great thing with your talents.Whats next?

this should be shown at every “Journalism” class on every campus! lol! heads would explode!

Where’s old “Blood ’n Guts” when we really need him?

The comment that “this is not a God Damn video game this is a modern fight for freedom” is so profound that the liberal bed-wetting Euro weenies have no way to defend their ‘lets get out of Iraq’ attitude. The Freedom of Iraq is the freedom of the entire area. The freedom of the Area means that we are free to return home and live life as we should.

Life, blood, sweat, tears has bought us breathing space and a chance at success. Do NOT let that PAYMENT be for nothing.

Demosthenes. You sound like the typical civilian that believes what he sees on cnn, fox news, msnbc………

The best book out there is his diary. Inside is his whole life detailed.

Patton would have probably had stronger language for this. He would have foreseen this inevitable war when President Jimmy Carter, that Idol of the Political Left and Nobel Peace Prize winner, turned over Iran to the Moslem whackjobs back during his administration in 1977, then failing to respond with force when our embassy was attacked (can you say “Act of War”). I fear that if B. Hussein Obama gets in power we will be paying the price for his incompetence for decades hence. I served and fought for our country for 30 years, and my son is now in Iraq. I am always amazed at how people who have no dog in the fight, except to pay taxes, are in such a rush to get out of Iraq. The soldiers there want to finish the fight with a win, not come home and watch how our country betrayed them again. Folks, get your cerebral appendage out of rectal defilade and understaand that if we leave without a convincing win, then next battles will be in our streets here in the USA.

outstanding and so right on

Porky Obama
