The path towards a success in Iraw is still be travelled as events continue to head in the direction we need to actually have a huge success in Iraq. First off just look at this long listing of actions against al-Qaeda and their allies. So many it makes no sense to snip a few here […]

To illustrate the ignorance of the media at times regarding Iraq check out this mistake in an article concerning events in Iraq: Also in Anbar province, another US marine died on Tuesday in a non-combat incident, the US military said Thursday. Baquba, the capital of Anbar province, is some 60 kilometres north of Baghdad. Actually, […]

Maybe the liberal media will listen to the views of a British General just returned from Iraq on his first hand account of how things are going in Iraq: The war for Iraq can still be won — as long as we continue to persevere. That is the opinion of Britain’s top general in Iraq, […]
