Lots of stories out today on the capture of al Qaeda In Iraq (from top to bottom). Top of the list is the deputy Emir for “al Qaeda In Iraq” (Zarqawi’s old organization reborn under various names). The US and Iraqi forces are definitely closing in on the Emir himself, al-Baghdadi. This report covers the […]

It did not take the Dems very long at all to totally skewer themselves on Iraq. They surpassed my wildest dreams of crashing and burning. Just as I gave the Reps too much credit for being able to survive the 2006 elections, I must have given the Dems too much credit for having even minimal […]

Brain Droppings (a small, upcoming blog that links here often) noted a new Murtha strategy arising from the ashes of his other failed strategies. Apparently since surrendering Iraq seems too hard to pull off Murtha is now attempting to surrender Guantanamo: “It sets us back in the war on terrorism to be maintaining Guantanamo,” said […]

The democrats and the liberal puppets in the media are simply lost when it comes to fighting a war. They scramble around for slogans, caught in a quagmire of their own making. A classic example of this core problem on the left is this ridiculous piece in US News & World Report which tries to […]

In an echo of the Windtalkers (yes, more accurately the Codetalkerts) of the Second World War, which were able to encode military communications using Native American languages, the US is recruiting Native American trackers to aid in the hunt for Bin Laden and other terrorists in the wilds of Afghanistan and Pakistan: An elite group […]

Update: Seems this is another false alarm – but we should be getting closer. – end update I posted last weekend, as we headed out for vacation, that it appeared a key al Qaeda leader ws captured. It turned out to be one of his key deputies, so I pondered could the big guy be […]

The Democrats have decided to impose a timetable on the troops, never mind that the surge has shown signs of success. In a very real sense, they have decided to take the coward’s way out. When Multi-National Force-Iraq held briefings for Congressional leadership, the Dems didn’t even show. The President is right to call it […]

I pray this is false: Two top nuclear scientists of Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) are currently in Taliban custody. The two were working at PAEC’s facility in North West Frontier Province. Zee News investigations reveal that the two scientists were kidnapped about six months ago. To avoid international embarrassment Pakistan Government has kept this […]

I suppose that old saw “when it rains, it pours” is an apt description of the problems facing the Iranian president these days. A strategic level military leader has apparently fled the country with his family, he is under renewed attack from his political opposition for his handling of the economy, the teachers are striking […]

A while back, Flopping Aces published some great cartoons about the Democrats’ idea of supporting the troops. A post from last night has some more good ones that just say it better than thousands of words. Go over and check it out.
