al Qaeda won a victory in the Iraqi city of Tal Afar, or they may have had help from Iranian backed Shiite Militia elements – hard to tell. But either way they won one: Shiite militants and police officers enraged by deadly truck bombings this week in the northwestern town of Tal Afar went on […]

al Qaeda must be on its last legs in Iraq given the insane tactics they are now trying to employ. It seems it is al Qaeda now against all of Iraq – Sunnis especially: Attackers killed a prominent member of an Iraqi tribe that had taken a stand against Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, and in […]

The GOP in the Senate and Bush have made a smart tactical decision to put the Dems in the hot seat regarding funding the troops and their liberal foolishness. The house has passed and the Senate will (barely) pass funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The problem is they have also added useless […]

And it is rising up against al Qaeda. One story here and another here. Which side will win? Well, in Iraq it seems the majority are against al Qaeda and for the US hanging around until things stabilize somewhat. That would indicate that now, and only for now, we have moved from a stalemate to […]

Things have changed in the Middle East, now that Saddam Hussein is gone from power and a fledgling democracy is being born. 9-11 shook that part of the world more than any other place, and we are seeing that people there are beginning to stop claiming things are impossible (the neo narcist-liberal mantra which comes […]

The US news media seems incapable of performing its most basic duty: informing the people of the United States of critical events in the world. It seems to have decided to bequeath that responsibility to foreign news media organizations. OK, so be it. First from Ramadi we have more Sunni Sheiks turning on al Qaeda […]

It seems the reasons behind the nutty and dangerous behavior of the Iranians is the fact the US coalition in Iraq may be holding upwards of 300 Iranian-linked prisoners caught red handed assisting in the kiling of US troops. So let’s recap: Iranians commit an act of war by working with Islamo Fascists to kill […]
