It is becoming clear that al-Qaeda is fighting for its very life because all of its big targets are Muslims – not Americans. This happened in Anbar when Iraqis began to turn on al-Qaeda as well. al-Qaeda started bombing mercilessly to attempt to cower the Sunnis there back into submission. The result was even more […]

America is fed up with DC politics and wants change. They clearly are heading away from the partisan fringes and looking at someone who “Unites” instead of “Purifies”. With Hillary now defeat-able and Obama rising America is just now trying to work out where to go in 2008. I suggest they begin by ignoring the […]

Yes, that is a deliberate typo on “al-Gore”. Combining the propaganda BS of a Baghdad Bob (which the SurrenderMedia just couldn’t stop believing or reporting) with the ability to exaggerate and self-fantasize, Barrack Obama has pulled one of the dumbest al-Gore stunts I have ever seen (H/T Lori Byrd) I wasn’t going to post anything […]

I have two posts up already on what could be brewing in Pakistan (here and here). But reader Crosspatch has found what I call definitive evidence that al-Qaeda and the hard core Taliban are facing the end game in South Waziristan Agency in Pakistan: A large-scale military operation is on cards in the restive tribal […]

In what should be shocking news the UK authorities investigating Benazir Bhutto’s killing have confirmed the intercept of a phone call, in which an extremist leader in Pakistan admits his people did the deed, is authentic. The government is sticking to its assertion that the assassination was ordered by Baitullah Mehsud, an Islamic militant with […]

According to the latest CNN/WMUR poll results one possible outcome for the GOP race in NH is McCain 1st, Romney 2nd and Giulian 3rd (with Huckabee 4th and Fred Thompson out for the count). That would be huge for Giuliani heading into the big states like FL and CA were he has a more commanding […]

Benazir Bhutto’s assassination is not only reverberating against Musharraf and the United States. There is a rising backlash in the country against extremists and their bloody and deadly methods. More voices are coming out against the terrorist nature of the Taliban and al-Qaeda, there are calls to eject the Afghan refugees who fled the US […]

Thankfully George Bush is going to leave office with a big (and accurate) “Mission Accomplished” next to the war in Iraq line item. The progress in that country is snowballing fast. I had some good news stories from Iraq this morning, and more from the latter half of the day showed up. Here they are: […]

I have to laugh at the GOP stalwarts are just now beginning to wake up to the reality of 2008. I listened to Laura Ingraham and Chris Corr this morning on the AM radio and it was enlightening. Just about everyone is trying to figure out what is going on and failing miserably. One of […]

Addendum Below It seems I may have been right about the mood of the country – it wants change in DC. And I still think it wants to reject the hyper-partisans on both sides and is heading towards the middle of the political spectrum. Obama has a really slick centrist pitch. I don’t believe half […]
