As The Pressure Builds To Blow Apart The Democrats ….

One thing the News Media forgets is voters don’t like their apparent influence and efforts to twist a race towards their preferred candidates. Typically this meddling in our democracy by the very liberal news media (note their multi-year effort to get us to surrender in Iraq, which is why many times I refer to them […]

Iraqi Doubles Down Against Mahdi Militia

All indications are that Iraq is preparing for a final, two-pronged push against the Mahdi Militia in Iraq. The first prong is on the political front with legislation that will outlaw political organizations which support armed militias: Iraq’s parliament has begun debating a bill on provincial elections that will ban any party from competing in […]

Clinton’s Morning-After Hangover

Well, it seems Clinton did not pull off the big win she needed, while Obama did in NC. But if you step back from the media hype we still have the same basic tie that has been in place for weeks. The Democrat party voters are split and not budging one way or the other, […]

Live Blogging The IN & NC Primaries

5:50 PM Eastern: Here we go again, with early exit polls leaning Obama – which have been proven wrong time and time again in these primaries. Huge turnout has never helped Obama (recall how PA played out!). So all the hype about exit polls showing a large Obama lead in NC are possibly right, but […]

Mahdi Commander Admits Iranian Support

It had to happen sooner or later – the Mahdi Forces have started to openly admit they are getting support from Iran in their fight against the elected government of Iraq and the US forces supporting it: Abu Baqr, now a commander in the Mahdi Army militia of cleric Muqtada Sadr, blames Iran for what […]

War Protesters Cannot Manufacture Another Vietnam Style Defeat

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me! That is a saying the less than credible liberal left needs to ponder. After predicting certain failure in Iraq and a useless Surge the far left failed to manufacture a stinging defeat and retreat in Iraq. And once you fail to make good […]

Primary Predictions 05_06_08

Well, I was going to predict it was going to be a good day for Hillary Clinton. I am sure she will do well in Indiana, but North Carolina was going to be the test of whether she had some momentum (or, conversely, if Obama was losing support). The problem we have in all this […]

Iranian Insanity: Stop Killing Those Killers We Trained, Armed And Sent After You, And We’ll Talk

The Iranians are clearly fools if they think their latest ravings are going to impress anyone: State Department deputy spokesman Tom Casey was reacting to Iran’s announcement it will not hold a fourth round of security talks with the United States as long as US forces continue attacking Shiite militias in Baghdad. “It’s meaningless to […]

First Wright Was Wrong For Obama, Now Ayers Stomps Out Obama’s Last Hopes

Boy this does not take much discussion to see how this picture of Obama buddy and 1960’s terrorists bomber stomping the US flag one month before 9-11 will play out for Clinton this week. Poor Barack, he never seemed to see it coming. The caption above says, in part, about Ayers and the Weather Underground […]

The End Of The War In Iraq Could Be Nearer Than Many Think

Michael Yon correctly points out that each time we have faced down the enemy we have seen a spike in casualties followed by a massive drop off in overall violence and casualties as we dispatch our enemies: April saw 49 U.S. casualties in Iraq, the highest total in seven months. Does this mean, as some […]
