Does anyone think the fact Iran kidnapped British Marines searching an Iraqi boat in Iraqi waters has nothing to do with the fact the UN Security Council is about to vote a new round of sanctions against Iran tomorrow? U.N. Security Council members reached broad agreement on Friday on a resolution imposing new sanctions against […]

Votes have consequences. And while the media can try and lie to America about the just finished House vote, the core controlling language – without any ambiguity – is the House just funded the Iraq War and the Surge. Therefore the House clearly supports the efforts that will be going forward the remainder of this […]

Some quick links. First, here is a round up of Coalition activities recently with the tally of people apprehended at 50 and one bomb factory dismantled. Second, here is reporting on how the surge has succeeded in tamping down violence in areas south of Baghdad. Third, here is reporting on how the Iraqis are executing […]

The Great Wizard of Kos himself penned a pathetic rationalization on why a Bill that fully funds the war, has no binding control on next year’s budget and efforts (that comes later this summer) and has benchmarks that only need to show ‘progress’ (whatever that is) is actually good. His lame excuse was the Bill […]

al Qaeda seems to be in full retreat in Iraq. First they (and the Shiia Mahdi insurgents) bolted Baghdad when the US and Iraq started flooding the streets with military and security forces. al Qaeda spread out to Anbar and Diyala provinces. In Anbar, as we have been seeing, the local Sunni’s are allying with […]

Maxine Waters claimed at an anti-war rally at the end of January she would not vote one more dime for the Iraq war. Apparently she lied.

I simply cannot keep up with all the news coming out of Iraq dealing with the round up of insurgents, criminals and terrorists from both Sunni and Shiia sides of the political spectrum – not to mention the foreign fighters. It seems the US-Iraqi coalition has arrested a key aid to radical-cleric-in-hiding Sadr: U.S. officials […]

The Democrats keep wasting time and what little patience the American people have left with their BDS actions trying to craft a law which makes them President. It ain’t going to happen. Take the latest fiasco (outlined here). It calls for benchmarks, etc and Congressional review of these marks. If progress is not made it […]

The news is all over the blogosphere on how Iraqis in Anbar and Diyala Provinces are uniting against al Qaeda and the other foreign fighters (and possibly foreign trained fighters coming out of Iran). The fact the US news media is even behind the BBC in reporting this just illustrates the depth of their loathing […]

As goes Ramadi goes Anbar Province, as goes Anbar Province so goes Iraq. The last bastion of resistance to a democratically run Iraq is the Sunni triangle. And the tide is turning against al Qaeda and the other foreign fighters and the insurgency as the Bush Surge starts to gain ground and momentum. And you […]
