Let's check in on Iraq

Well, let's check out Town Hall's Charlie Krauthammer and his reporting on Obama's Plan for Defeat

    We know Obama hasn't been to Iraq in more than two years, but does he not read the papers? Does he not know anything about developments on the ground? Here is the "nothing" that Iraqis have been doing in the last few months:

And then, COB6 over at Black Five brings us a Really Big Deal that the MSM Won't Report
  • The Iraqis are taking over Anbar Province within 10 days!

    BAGHDAD (AFP) - The US military is to hand over security control of the former Sunni insurgent bastion of Anbar province to Iraqi forces in the next 10 days, a US military spokesman announced on Monday.

    "The handover of Anbar is expected to take place in the next 10 days," Lieutenant David Russell told AFP, declining to provide an exact date.

    This could be the biggest news from Iraq since the terror attack on the al-Askari Mosque but I doubt you will see it on the news tonight.

That's amazing news and he's right, you won't see it on any major news network.
