Your Daily Assignment

OK, gang! Listen up! Here is your daily assignment. Read the story below very carefully and follow the link to get the rest of the details. Feel free to take a moment to feel damned proud of our troops for doing a job that the Left says can’t be done. Then I want you to all to carefully examine the media over the next 24 hours. Check out the Washington Post, New York Times, Chicago Tribune, the LA Times, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, FOX, etc.

First, I want you to report on how many of these Liberal “journalists” actually report this story. Second, I want a report on how many of them did report it but had to add a “but” and a disclaimer from some dip-shit talking-head to play down the success of our troops. Bear in mind that this is not George Bush’s accomplishment. This is an accomplishment by our fine men and women on the ground in Iraq. Let’s see if the Left really means it when they say they are against the war and Bush’s policy but for the troops. Let’s just see ....

(- A big thanks from the Skipper to all our troops in Iraq & Afghanistan. Well done! -)

Bombings in Iraq Fall to Seven-Month Low
BAGHDAD, Iraq (MYWAY NEWS)

The U.S. military said Thursday that suicide bombings fell in November to their lowest level in seven months after joint U.S.-Iraqi operations west of the capital. In Ramadi, the U.S. military played down reports by residents and police of widespread attacks against American and Iraqi installations there, saying only one rocket-propelled grenade was fired at an observation post and there were no injuries.

An AP Television News video showed the insurgents walking down a shuttered market street and a residential neighborhood, as well as firing four mortar rounds. The masked men, however, appeared relaxed, and the U.S. command dismissed the video as little more than a publicity stunt. Also Thursday, Iraq’s interior minister fired his top official for human rights in connection with a torture investigation. Gunmen attacked Saad al-Obeidi, an adviser to Iraq’s defense minister, seriously wounding him along with two of his bodyguards, police said.

Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch told reporters that suicide bombings fell to 23 in November, which he attributed to successful U.S.-Iraqi military operations against insurgent strongholds in the Euphrates River valley west of the capital. “His weapon of choice is suicide bombers,” Lynch said of the insurgents. “In the month of November: only 23 suicide attacks; the lowest we’ve seen in the last seven months, the direct result of the effectiveness of our operations.”

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
