Wanted to do a Fly By on the War on terrorism and some key stories out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Not much time for commentary on these this morning. To the surprise (actually, ‘dismay’ would be a more accurate word) of the liberal media the results of The Surge are still paying dividends. The death [...]

All day meetings so posting will be sadly light today. So a Fly By is in order! BTW – we will be celebrating our 2 year anniversary this week on Friday – so an early thanks to everyone who has helped this site grow to the success it is today (a special thanks to LJStrata [...]

A quick Flyby this morning before a full day of work. Here is an interesting account in the BBC from someone who has taken two trips into Ramadi – the heart of al Qaeda’s dream caliphate and a center of terrorism and insurgency in Iraq. A snippet: This city of some 400,000 people has been [...]

I am just rolling my eyes over the Clinton-Obama bickering today. Is this really the most important news in the nation or world today? Clinton-Obama Throwdown The two leading Democratic presidential camps have gotten into a nasty row involving Hollywood kingmaker David Geffen. But neither side wins this fight. Nasty? How about “petty and childish”? [...]

Quick and to the point this morning. Libby will be acquitted in a very short deliberation. OK, with that out of the way, let’s turn to John Edward’s continued spiral down the toilet. First he hires, fires, rehires and refires (for – against, for – against, perfect Kerry running mate) liberal bloggers who had no [...]

The 2008 Presidential Race is top of the news, leaving me to find something else to focus on since I could care less about the 2008 race right now. And whatever is said today will be irrelevant by next year (let alone next month). But it is interesting to see the Democrats fracture with their [...]

Time for another quick review of some interesting stories heading the blogs. First up is the news China may have demonstrated a space based weapon by taking out one of their aging weather satellites with a ground based launch. This is no easy feat, because weather satellites tend to be geosynchronous (that is the are [...]

Seems the Democrats are on something of a self destruction path with the American voters. Nancy Pelosi made one of the dumbest comments any politician has made in a decade when she went into her full Neville Chamberlain mode and claimed there were no Al Qaeda in Iraq. Not only are Al Qaeda in Iraq, [...]

I used to do “Flybys” a lot, which are nothing more than a compendium of quick hits on recent news items. I think I will need to get back into the habit given my upcoming work load. So let’s take a Flyby of some important stories (as opposed to much of the news media’s products). [...]

I am looking forward to getting back to my hotel room tonight and seeing the results of the CT Democrat primary. My prediction is Lamont will win this by about 52% – 47% (give or take 2%). This will leave Leiberman in good position to win back his seat this fall and cause the ultimate [...]

Folks, I am on travel to attend meetings so the postng will be on a different time schedule, and probably light if the hotel internet bandwidth is as poor as usual. So I’ll start the week with a Fly By round up of interesting stories. I am anticipating the CT primary results Tuesday because I [...]

More light posting I am afraid. The noise from Europe that the Israeli actions will swell the ranks of the terrorists is a joke. What will swell the ranks is if Israel falters and the islamo fascists smell blood. What will temper the movement is another thumping defeat after Afghanistan and Iraq. If Israel decimates [...]

Sorry about the light posting, lots of meetings this week. Let’s start with the ridiculous claim by amatuer, wannabe scientists in the media and Congress that lack of federal funds for embryonic stem cell research has hampered progress. That is so much BS. What is hampering progress is the fact that controlling embryonic stem cell [...]

I have not posted a Fly By post of interesting articles in quite some time. But today’s news is not all that eye catching to post extensive comments on. So let’s go with a Fly By of interesting stories out there India has put it’s peace talks with Pakistan on hold as it also claims [...]

Sorry for the light posting today, lots of meetings.  Hopefully more later. The Senate will hopefully vote in the broad immigration package today and people will agree progress is better than nothing and all the wailing. More here. There seems to be a lot of rehashing of old news by the media to try and [...]
