From al-Qaeda itself we hear they are a defeated force in Iraq: Clarice Feldman jveritas reports this: In his speech released yesterday Abou Omar Al Baghdadi the supposed leader of the Islamic State in Iraq which is Al Qaeda in Iraq said that only two hundered Mohajeroon are left in Iraq. Mohajeroon which means immigrants […]

I am starting to wonder if this NIE release wasn’t some form of a Trojan Horse filled with rope for the far left and the Iranians to hang themselves. First off, the NIE is clear – they don’t know if Iran has a nuke program up and running, all they know it they had one […]

Parts of Iraq starting turning around in the fall of ’06 when Sunnis finally had enough of al-Qaeda’s bloody brutality and starting switching sides to fight with the US against the Islamo Facists. This turn of events (not the US election in 2006, which just happened to coincidentally happen at the same time) presented the […]

The Washington Post is out this morning with story quoting intel officials who admit that the conclusion that Iran’s nuclear weapons program is still suspended was not a consensus view (hence the low confidence it was given), but was in fact challenged by key elements of the intelligence community: McConnell said his objective in preparing […]

Wild Speculation Alert: I have listed a lot of coincidental and circumstantial evidence in this post folks. I feel compelled to warn everyone when I see links to this NIE and Valerie Plame! It seems the NIE was NOT a consensus view of the US Intelligence Community but a hack job by some folks with […]

We have seen months of declining violence in Iraq as al-Qaeda’s one time allies – and continuously victims – have turned against them. Now al-Qaeda has decided to go for broke in Iraq and increase their massacring of fellow Muslims. They must think this is the only way to avoid defeat, since their defeat in […]

Boy, the indications from Iraq on what has really been happening in that country since al-Qaeda tried to destabilize it with mass bombings and attacks on Shiia religious sites is sometimes just stunning. The ‘conventional wisdom’ (a.k.a. liberal delusions promulgated in the SurrenderMedia) has been the refugees from Iraq have were chased out by the […]

Iraq has determined, given the progress in purging the Islamo Fascists associated with al-Qaeda, that the US presence in Iraq can be dialed back at the end of 2008: The Iraqi Cabinet agreed Tuesday to ask the United Nations to extend the authorization for U.S.-led forces in Iraq through the end of next year, but […]

Of course when we see the top al-Qaeda leader in Iraq killed it is always not an Iraqi. This latest dead leader, Abu Maysara, was a Syrian: A man killed during fighting in Iraq last month was a key figure in the al-Qaeda in Iraq movement, the US military has said. Abu Maysara, a Syrian, […]
