*** updates at the end*** Hold onto your seats folks, this could be a block buster news weekend! Apparently Bill Clinton authorized the leaking of flawed nuke plans to Iran via the CIA during his administration. This is according to James Risen, the same Risen that leaked the NSA details in a disasterous act of […]

Mark Coffey posts on a concept presented by one of the Washington Post’s more interesting characters – Bill Arkin.  I find myself either strongly against Arkin or for him, depending on the subject.  Today, he makes a good point – we may not be threatening Iran enough: I think this sends the wrong message to […]

All the fuss about the latest coordinated attack on the Iraq situation is media BS. I can understand someone having strong feelings and voicing them. But changing your position to meet a political goal (votes) is simply lying. So when I read a retired General has described Iraq in various ways depending on the political […]

I have said it many times. Muslim men who follow the fanatical practices of the Taliban are basically emotionally insecure. They have to have control or else they go crazy. Dr. Sanity has more on this angle: Consider for a moment a culture that would prefer to let young girls die in a burning building […]

Why should debate end at the waters edge? Because the undermining of a President enacting on a Congressionally authorized action against our enemies can easily be used as a rallying cry to kill us and our allies. The reason the left should have accepted their defeat in the Congress in 2002 is because their inability […]

I have been saying for weeks, since Bush’s visit to Pakistan, that the place to watch this year is the Waziristan province in Pakistan. Mark Coffey caught this article from Christopher Hitchens (since I was NOT keeping my Waziristan the last day or so) highlighting some recent Al Qaeda Butt Whooping going on there: A […]

The Washington Post attempts to surrender to Iran’s nuclear capabilities, not realizing what they are really reporting is the fading hope of non-military solutions. As Iran takes a step closer to developing nuclear capacity, President Bush finds his options ever more constricted. The Iranians seem unfazed by U.N. statements. The Russians and Chinese won’t go […]

With Ahmadinejad’s political stunt of an announcement that Iran has been able to process nuclear material and plans to expand their production, he has painted the cross hairs on his head and the heads of the Mad Mullahs of Iran. Iran underscored its determination to proceed with its nuclear program on Wednesday, as an official […]

That is the question: • The IAEA found Iran had probably carried out test enrichments of uranium with its centrifuges long before this. • A claim of 3.5% enrichment is not much of an achievement if true. • There is no clear evidence that Iran has brought the limited 164 centrifuge chain at Natanz on-line […]

The Iraq war deaths to date (UK plus US) are 2553, with 1991 of those actually combat casualties (complete stats here). How does this compare to history? Well, first we should look at ‘civil wars’ since so many on the left want to believe this is a civil war (though the opposition manages no territory, […]
