Time for folks to weigh in on the best weblogs for 2007. Always some great blogs are in the running, so get involved and submit your comments.

I am not buying the WaPo spin about an alleged US program to bait Iraqis into the scopes of US snipers. It all sounds like some ass covering by those charged with violating the rules of combat and trying to blame others for their crimes (and yes, these are crimes). The evidence this is a […]

What has The Surge created? Vast areas where al-Qaeda’s brutality has been swept away, allowing normalcy to return to the Iraqi people: Only six months ago, many Iraqi travellers considered it a suicidal risk to take the insurgent-controlled desert highway that stretches from Baghdad to neighboring Syria and Jordan. But now Iraqi driver Jamal says […]

al-Qaeda is desperate. They are losing ground in Iraq, and the people of Iraq – the Muslims of Iraq – are turning up in ever greater numbers to fight and destroy Bloody Bin Laden’s movement. The reason is obvious, al-Qaeda is spilling ever more Muslim blood in a useless and counter productive attempt to force […]

It seems the US has caught Iran with their hands in a bloody war in Iraq. The timing of this is not an incidental event. As Iranian President Mahmoud Ima-dum-idjut (Ahmedinejad) travels to the UN in NY it is no coincidence we roll up one of his death merchants in Iraq: Iran is smuggling advanced […]

LJStrata and I had a great evening watching the return of one of the best bands of all time: Genesis. As we were entertained with powerful songs from every era of Genesis (their art spans 2 decades and numerous classic and top selling albums) I realized I have been seeing them play live on and […]

I was wondering why their was not more outrage coming from Syria, North Korea, Iran and the other usual suspects who hate America and Israel over the Israeli bombing in Syria. Turns out the US used a lot of forethought and demanded hard evidence before it would support Israel’s plan to destroy NK nuclear material […]

Bin Laden’s thugs have definitely over reached. And what surprises me is, in light of the uprising against them now spreading through Iraq (and soon elsewhere) one would think they would tone it down and stop digging their graves. But apparently the bloodlust is too much for them. Today al-Qaeda released a video of the […]

Who would have predicted in October of 2001, as the fires of the WTC raged under a mountain of rubble and debris, that we would witness Iraqis lining up for hours in the heat, standing in line for their opportunity to sign up to fight and destroy al-Qaeda. No one in their wildest dreams would […]

I knew this was coming – there are no short cuts to burning fuels and producing gases. Combustion based on oil or corn oil (to be too cute by half) are not going to be drammatically different in the final equations. And so I am not surprised that many biofuels made from plant material fermented […]
