Wow. Now we are paying British newspapers to print positive stories?

McMaster should have been running the show in Fallujah as well.

 

The contrast in how these two operatiosn were con ducted, and in the efforts to rebuild afterward, are striking.

Why waste the money? The leftist media is more than happy to dig up all the negativity they can possibly find.

Keep rooting for us to fail....

But perhaps the key difference is that the American troops from the 3rd Armoured Cavalry Regiment, based in Tal Afar, are different from the majority found in Iraq.

 

Their commander, Col H R McMaster, is a counter-insurgency specialist who wrote a book about the Vietnam War, in which he criticised the US military's failure to understand the enemy's culture.

 

Before deployment, his men were given extensive Arabic classes and intensive lessons on Iraqi history, customs and religion. Proper efforts were made to woo local tribal sheiks with banquets in which goats were slaughtered and concerns listened to.

 

"The enemy is really good at disinformation and propaganda. We have to win the battleground of perception," he said.

No need to root. This administration seems to screw up just about anything it touches, whether I root or not.
