I have one gripe with some who see the arrangements with Isamic fundamentalists in Waziristan, Pakistan as bad policy. And that gripe is where can the Taleban live if they move away from fascism? The deals made by Musharraf with tribesmen of the area have been reasonable on their face. The off is to allow […]

Alan Colmes was berating Laura Ingrahm last night on Hannity & Colmes because she was talking about Iran’s history of hostage taking as a form of international diplomacy. [note: this is the first time I have caught the show since last fall]. Colmes was naively saying Iran had ‘moderated’ its rhetoric and Ingrahm, and those […]

Democrat Senator Mark Pryor is grossly naive: The Arkansas Democrat is a key holdout on his party’s proposal to approve $122 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan while setting a goal of March 31, 2008, for winding up military operations in Iraq. Unlike the plan’s Republican opponents, Pryor wants a withdrawal deadline of […]

It seems the Iranian kidnapping of British Sailors and Marines is supposed to be a response to the fact we have captured a lot of high level Quds personnel in Iraq, and it seems there may be a sea of defectors to boot. First I noticed this story based on high level sources in Iran […]

It looks like the Iraqi focus as part of the surge plan is paying huge dividends (which is why you will never see this news in the cowering, liberal US media – but you can find it in the UK media): Iraqi Police apprehended a suicide truck bomber and captured his vehicle, containing a large […]

What are all the liberals going to do now that Iran has clearly escalated a confrontation with the UK by an act of war in the kidnapping of British Sailors? The story line was always about Bush bringing on a conflict with Iran. But Iran’s Mad Mullahs and Self-proclaimed Prophet Guide President have proven once […]

It seems we have arrested another key lieutenant to Iraq al Qaeda leader al-Baghdadi, who like his earlier comrades seems to be singing to authorities: Baghdad – Iraqi security forces on Monday confirmed the arrest of an al-Qaeda leader and two of his aides in western Baghdad, according to a report by the Voices of […]

One can only surmize that the terrorists are not meeting their recruitment goals as well as we Americans are because they seem to have succumbed to invading schools to try and garner recruits: Police say firing broke out after the militant leader, Ehsan Barqi, threw a grenade at them when they tried to stop him […]

Things have changed in the Middle East, now that Saddam Hussein is gone from power and a fledgling democracy is being born. 9-11 shook that part of the world more than any other place, and we are seeing that people there are beginning to stop claiming things are impossible (the neo narcist-liberal mantra which comes […]

The US news media seems incapable of performing its most basic duty: informing the people of the United States of critical events in the world. It seems to have decided to bequeath that responsibility to foreign news media organizations. OK, so be it. First from Ramadi we have more Sunni Sheiks turning on al Qaeda […]
