Maxine Waters claimed at an anti-war rally at the end of January she would not vote one more dime for the Iraq war. Apparently she lied. Apparently Princess Pelosi’s threats to pull her coveted committee seats and chairwomen slot were enough to make her and three other avout anti-war activists vote to fund the war […]

I simply cannot keep up with all the news coming out of Iraq dealing with the round up of insurgents, criminals and terrorists from both Sunni and Shiia sides of the political spectrum – not to mention the foreign fighters.

The Democrat House “Leadership” has lost control of its members as the Democrats splinter over a bill that, at its essence, fully funds the Iraq war. The far left liberals are fed up with platitudes and excuses and I seriously doubt they plan to support any more facade votes on Bills that do exactly opposite […]

Three days of fighting between local tribesman, against an al Qaeda stronghold seems to tell me there is some very important reason al Qaeda is holding strong and taking the beating they apparently are taking: Fighting between local and Uzbek militants escalated in northwestern Pakistan on Wednesday, as the death toll from three days of […]
