While yesterday was Veterans Day, we were all thankful for all the soldiers, sea men, marines and sailors have done for this country. They protect the freedoms we hold dearly and at great sacrifice.  Many leave famlies with young children for years, and they leave family members and friends behind.  And all to  protect our [...]

Obama Was Willing to Lose in Iraq
A president cannot treat a war as if it’s a game.
by Robert McFarlane. Wall Street Journal, 10/03/08
A profoundly important point is being missed in the campaign debate over which candidate was right on Iraq. In 2006, when conditions on the ground were trending downward and a decision was required [...]

Stick a fork in Obama: he’s done
The following is in today’s New York Post. The bottom line is that Barack Obama allegedly attempted to undermine official U.S. policy in Iraq, an action that could have endangered thousands of lives as well as regional peace and security, for his own political benefit. We encourage our [...]

Sarah Palin’s detractors may want to know what can possibly be worse than a zero for zero record (the kind held by most state governors) on foreign policy. Try Barack Obama’s “experienced” running mate Joe Biden, whose record is zero for five if not worse. Peter Wehner’s “Biden Was Wrong on the Cold War” reports,
In [...]

The doom and gloomers must have the controlling interest in the majority of the mainstream mass media outlets. Otherwise, some of this news might have gone public in a much bigger way. And with as good as it is, it should have. Well, with at least more than fifteen second soundbites. But staying true to [...]

So, it seems there was reason to brush of the leftist calls for timetables in Iraq. There was already a similar venture in the works that depended on the success of the surge. And, as we all know, (even Obama finally conceded) that the surge did in fact work. Iraqi Security Forces are eagerly owning [...]

A recent US audit of Iraq’s four year budget, shows it will close in a major surplus. A surplus so sizable, that it has gained some notable attention. Between 2005 and 2008, the Iraqi government is expected to finish upwards of $80 Billion in the black. Which is leading Congressional Lawmakers on both sides of [...]

Which is not good news on any level for the “war is lost and the surge has failed” crowd. To the rest of us, this is fantastic news. Whilst it doesn’t signify an all is well and all troops can come home moment, it does signal an onset for a new role for the American [...]

Steve Schippert is a former Marine and blogs at  Threats Watch and the Tank on NRO.  He gives a little lesson in the history of the Iraq Awakening and the “Surge”.  I am sure that Obama and the rest of his Merry Leftists will take notes.
Sen. Obama, Meet Steve Schippert   [Andy McCarthy]
Mark Levin had this [...]

With pretty much no credentials, period, in the arena of worldly affairs, (or any other affairs for that matter,) Obama has finally decided to take a trip around the world. I don’t suppose it has anything to do with him having absolutely no clout amongst foreign dignitaries. Dignitaries that he’s expected to have to intermingle [...]

Courtesy of our outstanding men and women in our Armed Forces. Pelosi, Reid, “Our troops are murderers” Murtha, and a gaggle of others are about to have a seven course catered meal of Crow. Because that cold day in you-know-where has arrived. And it’s in print. I almost feel sorry for those poor bastards in [...]

I seriously doubt, that even with severe prodding from the public, will the major media outlets report this. I’ve thus far only seen it actually reported on, on FOX News. I think CNN might have made a under-the-breathe aside of it. But not actually report it.
And it wouldn’t surprise me in the least either, if [...]

In keeping with the Galloway-McClatchy Publishing theme: What can you tell me about McClatchy Publishing? Is it in fact, as I suspect, a far-left San Francisco-based concern. I see we have someone here from McClatchy Watch. Inquiring minds wish to know.

You know, I really have to hand it to ABC as of late. I mean it really must be hard on the media lately with a serious lack of bad news emanating from Iraq. I wrote about this once a few weeks back. And now, it looks like I must give ABC Kudo’s again.

As most people with half a brain believed that Saddam Hussein had WMDs.  But we came to find out he never had the stock piles of WMDs laying around like we thought.  Every intelligent agency in the world, if you can call them intelligent, believed he had WMDs.  Well, it comes out that Saddam wanted [...]

This is a great letter that every political pundit and candidate should read before they speak.  We are not in Iraq for the fun of it or the short term, we are there to help the people of Iraq.  We are there to help them secure their lands so that they can have hope that [...]

As it turns out, there were quite a few people behind the overly exaggerated, uber-inflated death toll numbers of 600 thousand plus in the hyped Lancet Study. That number, which has echoed through the halls of media outlets for a while now, and even touted by celebrities on talk shows, namely Rosie O’Donnell, was inflated [...]

By this point Nancy Pelosi (D-Zero Accomplishments) probably wishes she’d spent the year at home watching the weekly fur-thong/bestiality parades in San Francisco. She finishes the year having accomplished nothing more than providing 1-800-FLOWERS greater access to the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Congress may have returned to work for an abbreviated session but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Lobotomy) made sure he brought his long-term stupidity with him.
The increasingly irrelevant Reid appears to be indefatigable in his pursuit of disaster in Iraq. Reid has decided there is no news coming out of Iraq other than what’s written [...]

From inviting Teddy Kennedy for movie night, to allowing the democrats to write his education plan, President Bush has bent over backward to enact the “new tone” he set to implement in Washington.

Despite exponentially growing tales of success, there are “the fifth column” of our nation who hope against hope that they can undermine and evince failure of the efforts of our troops and the commanders on the ground in Iraq.
Specifically, Harry Reid continues to choose to completely ignore all the successes made via the efforts of [...]

It’s time to vote House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Hot Flash) off this show.
