Update: Michael Totten reports on our victory in Fallujah and how US forces there are down 90% from their high in late 2006 – a clear sign of the future of Iraq thanks to the dedication and determination of our Commander-in-Chief and military forces – end update It is amazing the democrats are still, after […]

How is it John McCain is now best positioned to win the GOP nomination? If he wins FL (and recent endorsements by Gov Crist and Sen Martinez shows he has some gathering strength there) he will have supposedly turned the GOP on its head. Rush Limbaugh predicts the end of the party as we all […]

For your reading pleasure today while the national parties are busy naval-gazing and wondering who is the most pure of all. First is a review of the situation in Diyala Province Iraq as al-Qaeda is purged from one of their last remaining areas of operation. This time the sound of Stryker personnel carriers rolling into […]

Found some interesting articles on Iraq I never got to post over the weekend. First is a comparison between the reality of Iraq vs. the fantasy of American politics on Iraq by Michael Gordon, who has been reporting on Iraq for the NY Times and was one of the first reporters to note the successes […]

After a series of legislative defeats in 2007 that saw the year end with more […]
