Would a Surrendercrat be so bold as to attack Bin Laden’s thugs hiding out in Pakistan as we did last January? In the predawn hours of Jan. 29, a CIA Predator aircraft flew in a slow arc above the Pakistani town of Mir Ali. The drone’s operator, relying on information secretly passed to the CIA […]

Coincidental events are showing up on my radar that could be a bad sign – one can connect these dots and see a pattern that is more than a little disturbing. The big event of the last few months was the assassination of a Hezbollah terrorists who is only second to Bin Laden in the […]

It seems that al-Qaeda’s penchant for brutality continues even though it supposedly promised to stop targeting Iraqi Muslims in order to regain some standing in the Iraq Muslims community: A couple and their son as well as a woman neighbour taking part in the fight against Al-Qaeda have been killed by gunmen near the restive […]

Some news broke yesterday that did not seem to cause the ripple of concern it should have. It follows the news that the assassinated Hezbollah terrorist was in meetings with Syrian, Iranian and Islamic Jihad representatives to plan for attacks on neighboring Arab countries – one of which could easily be Iraq and US forces […]

It is clear that al-Qaeda’s pummeling over the last few years since 9-11 has shown that organization to be mostly hot air with the ability to blow up innocent people, but not topple governments. It failed in Iraq and Lebanon, and is failing in Afghanistan. Pakistan is one place I would hesitate to say is […]

The US is planning on reducing its forces in Iraq this summer if the trend of success we have seen over the last 6-7 months continues to hold. Admiral Gregory Smith, Director of the Multi-National Force’s (MNF) Communications Division, told a news conference on Sunday that five American brigades would be withdrawn in July. These […]

The FISA wars have become surreal as paranoid and delusional liberals panic about non-existent risks to civil liberties (all surveillance activities are reviewed by many organizations and the courts to ensure there is no abuse). Their made-for-TV juvenile fears of being listened in on have caused them to demand all surveillance, even that surveillance focused […]

Some interesting articles I ran across for the weekend reading (though I intend to be out and about mostly). Seems General Patraeus is, for once, cautiously upbeat about what we have achieved in Iraq: If you’re looking for one measure of the impact of last year’s troop surge in Iraq, look at Gen. David Petraeus […]

There are reports that the Hezbollah terrorist recently assassinated in Damascus was in the stages of planning a huge attack against other Arab states, probably with the assistance of the Iranians: A Kuwaiti newspaper reports that Hizbullah terrorist chief Imad Mughniyeh, who was killed in a car-bomb attack in Damascus on Tuesday, was in the […]

I noted yesterday that Iraq had made huge legislative progress on their road to a stable victory over al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein. But I missed one interesting point that came out in a new story today – October elections. This was found in a grudging editorial from the NY Times on the successes in Iraq: […]
