You know, you’d think the leftward fringes in this country would be ecstatic about the Iraqi government. Turn outs the current President (soon to be ex-President it would seem) is against the death penalty: Iraqi President Jalal Talabani said in remarks that he would not sign a death sentence against his ousted predecessor Saddam Hussein […]

I have been so swamped in Able Danger I have not had a chance to keep up on other issues or articles. On person I like to keep track of is Christopher Hitchens. Hitchens is such a refreshing, unabashed, brilliant liberal one wonders why he is not more prominent than the Howard Deans and Michael […]

Another in a series of articles by desparate leftwing liberals hoping we surrender in Iraq before, heaven forbid, we win we have Gary Hart coming out in a nostalgic editorial about the good old days when we left Vietnam to murderous thugs because we did not fight a war to win. My generation of Democrats […]

I mentioned last week, when the Iraq Constitution was not reached on schedule, that the delay would add a lot of drama and focus to the event – making a successful end even more potent. Well now we can see if this is correct since Fox News is now reporting that there is a constitution […]

I am not sure what the Sunni’s are expecting out of this strange political move, but they seem to be upset about federalism creating a divide in Iraq. Angered by Shiite calls for a federal region, Sunni clerics urged followers Friday to vote against the constitution if it contains measures they believe would divide the […]

I have held back from this subject because it is clear the woman is distraught, in pain and grieving. But it is clear she has also been brain washed by the anti-war left. Brain washed to an extent that brings back memories of Jim Jones and his mindless death cult. Having seen a friend get […]

All Things Conservative has bravely taken up the role on monitoring progress in Iraq from the great blogger Arthur Cherenkoff, who has decided to retire from blogging. And an excellent job it is! Check it out.
