Iraq leaders are standing tall by committing to take full control of security by year’s end. My hat is off to them and I wish them success. As all Americans should. In fact the world should be hoping and praying for the new Democratic Iraq to succeed. But apparently too many petulant liberals, who fear […]

I thought I was tough on the Democrat Iraq plan for surrender and retreat in my previous post. But Michael Goodwin tears into the Dems in his New York Daily News column in such a way as to make me think I under estimated the damage the Dems did to themselves: With world attention focused […]

Lebanese officials are noting a lot of Israeli Air Force activity in the Bekaa Valley near the Syrian border. Some wonder if IDF troops will soon be entering the area. Lebanese army and security officials said Tuesday night that a major IDF operation was underway against suspected Hizbullah positions near Baalbeek in eastern Lebanon’s Bekaa […]

Democrats cannot surrender on surrender. There is now a ‘united front’ on cutting and running from Iraq. Good thing all those calling for retreat are already here at the rear of the battle, else there would be stampede of panicked liberals.

In another lame attempt to blame anyone but the terrorists the Washington Post is running some revisionist history claiming that the insurgency was created by the 4th Infantry being too tough early on in the War in Iraq: Today, the 4th Infantry and its commander, Maj. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, are best remembered for capturing […]

In what is probably the first large scale indication the US policy in Iraq is finally turning a corner we see the Sunni’s in Iraq ‘moderating’ their stance by asking for more US presence to quell the violence. It is no surprise three decades of anger and frustration were going to bubble over when the […]

update – fixed the link The existence of the Iraqi nuclear program into the 1990’s is not much in dispute since Saddam’s son-in-law Hussein Kamal defected in 1994-5 and finally exposed the program to the UN inspectors who had missed its existence for years since the end of the first Gulf War. But recently publishd […]

Most anyone who has tried to predict election cycles, or who will be in the World Series or the World Cup, what the next set of offensive plays will be in an NFL game, or what the next month at work will be like understand the difference between attempting to predict and prepare for something […]
