Some reporting on the new artillery/rocket system possibly used to take out that enemy camp in Pakistand yesterday: The six-pack can be configured to shoot a wide array of rockets and missiles, from cluster bombs to a single missile system with a range of up to 300 kilometres.

Compassionate Conservatives. The label was meant to remind people that tough love is not without a heart and the government will not be used to brow beat people when they are down.

As goes Diyala so goes Iraq and our chances for success in Iraq. We seem to be kicking al-Qaeda butts in Baqouba as we surround and destroy one of the last strong holds of al-Qaeda: Odierno—a supertanker of a man with a shaved head who looks like ancient turtle—met with a group of battalion commanders […]

Ed Morrissey posts on one of the many conspiracy myth’s running around the GOP circles as they do their amnesty hypochondriac Chicken Little dance. This one had to do with how long it takes to process Z-Visas compared to passports (not EVEN the same thing) and the ridiculous myth background checks take time (having worked […]

Whenever you see an airstrike on an al-Qaeda base that has lareg numbers of Chechen and Uzbek fighters you have to wonder if someone has finally found the hideout of Bin Laden or Zawahiri.
