The most interesting news out of Iraq is that the Sunnis are now taking out the Al Qaeda terrorists and their Iraqi supporters. The ‘sectarian’ violence being reported in the country probably has a lot to do with cleansing the place of Al Qaeda and Islamo-Fascists forces. The truth is Iraq is fighting for its […]

The terrorists and insurgents are acting as I and many predicted, they are becoming much more violent as they try to make sure the Democrats make good on their promise and surrender Iraq to Al Qaeda. The problem for the terrorists and insurgents is the American people will not accept handing Iraq over to the […]

I pointed folks to Micheal Ledeen’s article on how the Baker ISG could be addressing the wrong issue. It is clear the right question is asked so we don’t destroy ourselves by misunderstanding the challenge we face right now. Our strategists are constantly asked, how can we win the war in Iraq? But it is […]

The handwringers are out in force, and making as little sense as usual. They see no solution because, quite frankly, they are incapable of coordinating a campaign as complex and challenging as Iraq. Take like Jed Babbin for example: According to the Post’s report, the options being studied are encapsulated by the nickname given it: […]

News from the war front. American and Iraqi forces killed scores of insurgents and found numerous enemy weapons caches during anti-terrorist operations conducted across Iraq in recent days, according to Multinational Corps Iraq news releases. In one such operation conducted in the Tikrit area, U.S. soldiers with the 3rd Battalion, 1st Brigade, the 5th Squadron, […]

While the Democrats push for America’s complete surrender to Al Qaeda in Iraq, thankfully the Iraqis themselves are stilling clawing their way to a democratic future. More indications are being seen that Al Qaeda’s brutality against Iraqis is starting to pay off – for the Coalition. Sunni’s are openly standing up against the Al Qaeda […]

Here is one clear way Iran could hide its funding of the insurgents under the noses of naive liberals and the UN. There is only one reason Iran would spend a billion dollars on Iraq – they want to buy a piece of it for themselves. And here are some great questionsfor the “leave Iraq” […]

I have always felt Bush allowed the House and Senate Republican leadership to dictate the themes and tones of this past election cycle. Why wouldn’t he? It was their butts on the line. Bush is very accommodating and would, within some boundaries, work with the House and Senate leaders to run the national elections. But […]

The Washington Post notes something interesting that came out of Congressional hearings yesterday (and which I have not heard much about). The consensus is we will need to actively support the Afghanistan Democracy for at least a decade to ensure its long term survival: Five years after the United States drove al-Qaeda and the Taliban […]

I know PM Blair and others are opening up the discussion to possible alternatives to the Iraq and ME solution – to look at options that are more engagement oriented. But let’s not get unrealistic, like we did in the 1990’s when we dismissed the ferocity coming from the Saudi Madrassa’s and we felt the […]
