John Kerry is the clumsiest, most foibled politician I have ever seen.  How he keeps getting elected is beyond me.  On the day President Bush announces a ground breaking event of historic interest in Iraq, Kerry is giving a speech on why we should surrender, and why it is not such a terrible idea. Bush […]

Iraq has a Prime Minister and now its new, permanent Democratic government. Jawad al-Maliki, an experienced political operator and advocate for Iraq’s Shiite Muslims, won the approval of Shiite party leaders for the post of prime minister on Friday, a day after the parties’ original nominee bowed out under political pressure. … On Friday night, […]

Good news from Iraq today which I meant to post on earlier: Iraq’s prime minister will give up his nomination for a new term as head of the country’s new government, a senior member of his Shiite party announced, only a few hours before a long-delayed parliament meeting scheduled for Thursday was ultimately postponed by […]

Why should debate end at the waters edge? Because the undermining of a President enacting on a Congressionally authorized action against our enemies can easily be used as a rallying cry to kill us and our allies. The reason the left should have accepted their defeat in the Congress in 2002 is because their inability […]

The Iraq war deaths to date (UK plus US) are 2553, with 1991 of those actually combat casualties (complete stats here). How does this compare to history?
