Note from General Petraeus

By John

Matthew...I wanted to offer my thanks to the bloggers who have worked to provide accurate descriptions of the situation on the ground here in Iraq and elsewhere. Milbloggers have become increasingly important, of course, given the enormous growth in individuals who get their news online in the virtual world instead of through newspapers and television. So please extend my appreciation to them for performing this task -- and, of course, for doing it in ways that does not violate legitimate operational security guidelines. Best from Baghdad -- General Dave Petraeus

Matt read the note to the milblogging conference audience right before panel 1 kicked off.

Right after Admiral Fox spoke from Baghdad via live feed.

Which was right after the President spoke via video message.

Just sayin'.

Perhaps us Americans who want to actually eliminate the Islamofacists should make it a conscience effort to eliminate the MSM propagandists from our lives. I personally have decided to block their stations. Reports you'll never find in the MSM indicate that in Canada there is a convention of leftists trying to figure out how they can work with the Islamo's. The enemy of their enemy appears to be their friend...

For those who think this is all BS and it's never going to affect them, note that before Nazi Germany conquered them in two weeks, the French were thought to have the best army in the world at that time. We are being infiltrated via our porous borders as you read this.

Please stay on the alert for the apparent alliance between the socialists/anarchists/communists/enviro-nazi's, and the Islamo's.

Yours with the Republic,

JD - Are you referring to this: Marxists, Islamists and Loons in Toronto... at the “MARXISM 2007: A Festival of Resistance,” featuring a true rogues’ gallery of radical Muslims, malignant Stalinists, enviro-Nazis, sex-change advocates, black-shirt anarchists, and “progressives” of all stripes.

LOL Noonan, you are so funny. Wouldn't be name-dropping, would you now?

MilBloggers should copy and paste GEN Petraeus's words onto a wallet-sized card, print it and laminate. That's good stuff.
