I posted a recently that I felt it seemed to me Musharraf was controlling his transition out of power in such a way that he could call on US military support in a final battle to take out the large build up of al-Qaeda and Taliban forces in the lawless areas of Pakistan. I was […]

Seems al-Qaeda is not only getting its butt kicked in Iraq but in Algeria as well. And I should note efforts in Lebanon as well. Is it any surprise their forces are retreating to the lawless areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan to regroup (or face their final battle to the end)?

Nancy Pelosi came one step closer to her nightmare fantasy of ‘reversing’ what has happened in Iraq last night with a wimpy vote on a bill with only sufficient funds for an immediate retreat: The House tonight passed a $50 billion Iraq funding bill that sets a “goal” of having all U.S. forces out of […]
