Don Rumsfeld (and other administration leaders) are taking the gloves off and applying some serious 2×4’s to the left and their enablers in the antique media. First Rumsfeld voiced his concern the media was being manipulated (or worse) by the terrorist propaganda machine (which seems to be light years more sophisticated than the media can […]

News out of Iraq has the Iraqi Army clashing with the Mahdi Shiite Militia. While the Iraqi Army is taking the initial hits, that will only fuel the comaraderie you see in any military organization, and that will create the environment that can cause the eventual downfall of the militias. The militias are the last […]

The liberals are beside themselves with the realization their marginal views are just not cuttting it in the national arena. They have gone from questionable to crazy as they attempt to claim there is no problem in leaving Iraq to Al Qaeda so they can use that country’s national resources and educated population (Iraq has […]

RCP notes a great piece in the WaPo which takes all the quitters to task for giving up on Iraq while the Iraqis themselves are still fighting and dying for their future. As the debate on Iraq rages on, we hear more and more voices that call for throwing in the towel and leaving the […]

Jed Babbin has joined the ranks of the arm-chair instant experts today by declaring the ME is closer to Syrian and Iranian visions of the future than that of our efforts to forge peaceful democracies.

Home Office officials say that one of those arrested is suspected not only of […]

I had been hoping this would not happen, but the Shia in Iraq may be mobilizing support for Hezbollah. Tens of thousands of Shi’ite youths covered in white shrouds gathered Friday in Iraq’s capital for a pro-Hizbullah rally as senior US generals warned that spiraling sectarian violence in Baghdad could lead to civil war. This […]

Folks in the media are all atwitter with the idea Iraq could sink into civil war. Here from a US Commander and here from a departing UK Ambassador to Iraq. That has been a concern and possibility from before the invasion and remains the one top risk to success. Is it possible? Well, duh! Yes. […]

Amazingly, after days of over-the-top misreporting on the Qana incident the American people have once again demonstrated a resiliancy to media mayhem. The media’s credibility is pretty shot in this country, so hyperventilating stories laced with insults tend to increase skepticism, not reduce it. The LA Times is reporting a poll that demonstrates this theory […]
