The Washington Post notes something interesting that came out of Congressional hearings yesterday (and which I have not heard much about). The consensus is we will need to actively support the Afghanistan Democracy for at least a decade to ensure its long term survival: Five years after the United States drove al-Qaeda and the Taliban […]

We spent the 1990’s listening to a Democrat administration ignoring the warning signs surrounding Islamo-fascism. We attempted to wage a war in our courts. We refused to use military force because of the ineptitude surrounding the debacle in Somalia. The Democrats are back and ready to go back to the 1990’s – and pave the […]

The war on terror is raging in Afghanistan and Pakistan. NATO and Afghani forces were very successful this weekend in their efforts to confront the terrorists. But it is becoming clear that the center of the terrorist effort has moved to the Northern Provinces of Pakistan. This can be evidenced by the fact Pakistanis seem […]

I know PM Blair and others are opening up the discussion to possible alternatives to the Iraq and ME solution – to look at options that are more engagement oriented. But let’s not get unrealistic, like we did in the 1990’s when we dismissed the ferocity coming from the Saudi Madrassa’s and we felt the […]

Democrats seemed prepared to do their worst quickly. They have no idea what we are facing with the terrorism. Murtha wants to bring troops home so he can buy votes with Federal handouts, apparently oblivious to the resulting boost that kind of retreat will give to Al Qaeda. And now Carl Levin is more interested […]

Finally the US is taking on the forces of Muqtada al-Sadr in Iraq. It seems the Democrat plan to withdrawal forces may have lit a fire of urgency in some corners of Iraq. My guess is PM Maliki understands he only has so much time for the US to play a pivatol role. .S. forces […]

The Iraq Group is not ready to present the results of their work, and if I know this town and how these things work, they won’t be ready for some time. The report is due at year’s end, but it seems the group has yet to meet to begin the final thrashing process, which will […]

One of the areas of the world ripe for disaster is the Pakistan-Indian region where two long time rivals with nuclear weapons are the prime target of Al Qaeda efforts. Toppling Pakistan is a prime goal of Al Qaeda. So the fact both nations are now on high alert for terrorist attack is disturbing – […]

Update: Iran Says Israel’s destruction near. We need to hear from the Dem Congressional Leaders on this threat to our ally. And we need to hear now, before Iran assumes the Democrats really want Israel wiped off the map. And why would they get that idea? Clarice Feldman explains how. New Links Added OK, I […]

We have captured a top level Al Qaeda member in Afghanistan. Bad news for the Dems. Now they will need to answer the question – given all the recent warnings of attacks on Britain and Europe and the US – of whether we should detain this person and inflict agressive interrogation methods on him in […]
