When a pro-Iraq-War article appears in the LA Times, it deserves appreciation, because we need a lot more of that from that paper. Today's edition has the following headline:
War on West shifts back to Afghanistan
Militants are being drawn away from Iraq, experts say.
This says that in Iraq, the U.S. is fighting those who have made "war on the West." In this way it appears to recognize that the U.S. is right to be fighting in Iraq.
The article continues:
The conflict in Iraq is drawing fewer foreign fighters as Muslim extremists aspiring to battle the West turn their attention back to the symbolically important and increasingly violent turf of Afghanistan, European and U.S. anti-terrorism officials say.
The shift of militants to Afghanistan this year suggests that Al Qaeda and its allies, armed with new tactics honed in Iraq, are coming full circle five years after U.S.-led forces ousted the Taliban mullahs.
That says that in Iraq the U.S. has been fighting "Al Qaeda and its allies" - again an unmistakable recognition that the U.S. is right to be in Iraq.
And again:
After the fall of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein in 2003, Muslim extremists from the Arabian Peninsula, North Africa and Europe flocked to confront the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq. Although foreigners have been a minority in the Iraqi insurgency, militants such as Jordanian-born Abu Musab Zarqawi played a major role in suicide attacks and kidnap-killings.
The article uses the phrase, "Muslim extremists" - not "militants," as in the article's subhead, and as is so often used by an MSM which refuses to show disapproval of those who behead and who purposely bomb restaurants, planes and trains. And, these Muslim extremists were drawn from many nations to Iraq, where our army has been fighting them.
LA Times, this is the direction to go in - to boost readership, improve profits, and to help defend America from these Muslim extremists who are making war on the West. Keep it up!
