Who is Barack Obama?  What does this cypher of a candidate stand for?  He seems to be an endless sequence of popular and conflicting platitudes upon which people project their deepest desires.  As I noted in a previous post that discussed Obama’s amazingly precise, manufactured vagueness – Obama is much like the fictional Mirror of Erised […]

The liberal news media is incapable of facing its own mistakes. Instead it simply tries to spin out lies to its customers and delude itself into believing that it was always being professional and accurate. Case in point: the huge FISA win Bush just orchestrated in the House of Representatives, which is better than any […]

3 days ago the news media was breathlessly reporting that 600 Taliban had taken over some villages in Afghanistan and were threatening the government there. At the time I noted how ridiculous the odds were of the Taliban succeeding: Sorry if I am not impressed. Every time the Taliban seize real estate they are beaten […]

David Brooks has a harsh, but interesting piece out today on the enigma that is Barack Obama: God, Republicans are saps. They think that they’re running against some academic liberal who wouldn’t wear flag pins on his lapel, whose wife isn’t proud of America and who went to some liberationist church where the pastor damned […]

The House of Representatives funded the legal war in Iraq (again) without any requirements for a timetable to pull out troops. All those who whine about Bush’s illegal war need to grow up and recognize that Congress authorized the action by huge margins, and has funded the action each year with no restrictions. Congress passes […]

Anti-American Shiite Cleric Moqtada Sadr’s political movement is running out of gas. Every friday he has called for protests against a long term alliance between Iraq and America (the details of which are being negotiated – as is expected in peaceful debate). When he first called for these protests four weeks ago the crowds numbered […]

Prime Minister Maliki has executed another smashing success in Iraq has Iraqi forces have taken control of the Sadrist enclave of Amarah, the capitol city of Maysan Province.  The initial phase was a window for militants (mostly Mahdi Militia) to surrender there arms and join society.  Apparently that was very successful: Dozens of Shiite militiamen […]

Obama is really the epitome of the empty-suit suite.  I sometimes think he is so vacuous you can here a sucking sound when you meet him in person. Even more disturbing is the fact that Obama (and his Obamabots) are so blissfully unaware of his state of utter emptiness.   Case in point this week […]

I found an interesting article that tries to claim are success in destroying al-Qaeda has given rise to a new danger. Personally I find this line of reasoning ridiculous. It is the old tall poles challenge. When you attack the tall poles and remove these obstacles barring success to a challenge, you still face the […]

The defeat of Sadr, the Sadrist Movement and their thuggish Mahdi Militia continues apace today as massive numbers of gunmen turn themselves into authorities in Amarah, capitol city of Maysan Province along the Iranian border: Gunmen from different armed groups have begun to surrender to Iraqi government troops in the city of Amarah ahead of […]
