Two plus two folks.  First this: Russia provided intelligence to Iraq’s government on U.S. military movements in the opening days of the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, a Pentagon report released on Friday said. The report said an April 2, 2003, document from the Iraqi minister of foreign affairs to President Saddam Hussein stated that Russian […]

Major Kudos to Mark Coffey for bringing attention to this Walter Pincus story in the Washington Post yesterday (how did I miss this with all those google searches???). The story is about an incredibly high placed French spy in Hussein’s government: Deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein’s last foreign minister, Naji Sabri, was a paid spy […]

Laura Ingrahm has become a really good conservative radio personality recently. Her trip to Iraq, to see first hand what was happening there, should be sufficient in anyone’s book for some serious respect. Wednesday morning she was discussing President Bush’s recent challenge to the media to balance their reporting on events in Iraq. Bush has […]

The left is so mindlessly obsessed with Bush hating they will never accept how suicidally wrong they were in dismissing the threat that was Saddam Hussein. What the left never grasped was Hussein’s ability to help create future 9-11’s against this country. And apparently there is tape of Saddam dreaming such dreams [hat tip to […]

One document of interest in the recently released documents uncovered in Iraq is this one which highlights a debate on how to deal with the UN inspections and keeping the UN out of certain sites. It is interesting has it seems to cover a 1996 debate within Hussein’s adivsory council discussing ways to turn world […]

** update: many readers alerted me that the documents come from Iraq and Afghanistan, which is why there are some with so much insight into Al Qaeda operations.  Thanks for the heads up **  As I am glancing through the newly released documents it is hard to believe this is a Iraq stash and not […]

Consider this the final nail in the coffin of the liberal fantasy about Al Qaeda ties to Iraq: The Bush administration Wednesday night released the first declassified documents collected by U.S. intelligence during the Iraq war, showing among other things that Saddam Hussein’s regime was monitoring reports that Iraqis and Saudis were heading to Afghanistan […]

I have been expecting this news for a while now since the Iraqi Army and Police have been successful in managing security for the elections and the recent attempts to ignite civil war. President Bush vowed for the first time yesterday to turn over most of Iraq to newly trained Iraqi troops by the end […]

While we in the US shudder at the thought of rubbing shoulders with Arab businesses, the war on terror is being won in the real danger zone by our military, intelligence, and Arab allies (old and brand spanking new): Insurgent groups in one of Iraq’s most violent provinces claim that they have purged the region […]

Great news out of Iraq as the Sunni’s in there are chasing Al Qaeda out of their provinces: The people of Iraq are rising up against an insurgency bent on derailing democracy in the country, a Multinational Force Iraq spokesman said today. “The people of Iraq are uniting against the insurgency,” Army Maj. Gen. Rick […]
