The Surge and Awakening that hit Iraq last year (in the face of dour predictions from Democrats that Iraq was a failure, the Surge was a failure, etc) has succeeded, victory is at hand. The Surge had many goals, nearly all of which have been met, according to a US State Department Government Report on […]

I have been hoping for months now that the pressure we have been seeing put on the Taliban and al-Qaeda remnants inside the tribal areas of Pakistan might bear some fruit. Back in January of this year there were reports that a new Taliban leader, Baitullah Meshud, was charting a new and dangerous course by […]

The International Herald Tribune (IHT) ran a reasonable article (for them) recently on the al-Qaeda and Taliban forces who retreated from Afghanistan into the Pakistan area and efforts over the years to deal with them. I want to take some key information from that article to lay out the case that we are seeing the […]

Marc Ambinder and I agree that the far left and far right have gone too far in their attacks on McCain (which folds into my post below on how the fringes are ruining America).

I am going to fisk Obama today – he has had it coming for a long time. I am going to challenge the empty suit’s soaring and vacuous rhetoric on “Patriotism” to demonstrate why fancy words woven together in a nice cadence are meaningless without purpose and value against our challenges. Obama’s speeches have sunken […]

I am getting the feeling this country is at a breaking point with hyper-partisan dribble. I know I am. Not everyone is worked up to a fevered pitch, but those who are too many times run on a nasty combination of arrogance and ignorance. Needless to say they are also running low on respect and […]

This New Yorker article on Iraq and Obama’s idiotic plans to surrender to al-Qaeda there, despite all our hard won successes, is just stunning. First, it recognizes the work that made the sea change in Iraq possible – though in typical liberal faction it credits ‘luck’ instead of determination to win, and the sacrifices made […]

The “Ugly Liberal” is coming out in the Democrat Party. A close cousin to the Ugly American – who would go to Europe and other places and display such arrogance and snobbery that it gave all America a bad reputation – this is the election for the Ugly Liberal. It is their hate of Americans, […]

Our big family event for the day was to all go to see Pixar’s new movie WALL•E, and sad to say we came away none too impressed.  We love Sci-Fi, Fantasy and animation of all forms.  I own a lot of animated movies which I love to watch. And we can usually tolerate or look […]

It is crap like this that has put the liberal news media on the same level as a rotting cesspool (full of decaying you-know-what): Clandestine operations against Iran are not new. United States Special Operations Forces have been conducting cross-border operations from southern Iraq, with Presidential authorization, since last year. These have included seizing members […]
