Yep, We Were On Zarqawi For Weeks

As I had predicted, the round up of Zarqawi top aides over the last few weeks was like a trail of bread crumbs to the ultimate goal: U.S. and Iraqi forces zeroed in on Abu Musab al-Zarqawi over the past two weeks, tracking his movements and missing him at least once with an attempted strike. […]

Democrats Cannot Handle National Security

How do I know?  They open their mouths: Some Democrats, breaking ranks from their leadership, today said the death of terrorist leader Abu Musab Zarqawi in Iraq was a stunt to divert attention from an unpopular and hopeless war. “This is just to cover Bush’s [rear] so he doesn’t have to answer” for Iraqi civilians […]

Specter Wants To Play Games During War

As I pointed out with the Toronto raid on the terrorist cell there, it is highly possible the entire effort was detected using the NSA’s Terrorist Surveillance program, and when two US citizens allied themselves with the terrorists, they were brought into the FISA process (here and here).  Senator Specter seems to want to have […]

Reuters’ Terrorist Propaganda

On a day of celebration regarding Zarqawi’s death, Reuters schleps for Al Qaeda in this despicable reporting: Michael Berg, whose son Nick was beheaded in Iraq in 2004, said on Thursday he felt no sense of relief at the killing of the al Qaeda leader in Iraq and blamed President Bush for his son’s death.

Zarqawi Toasted!

Folks, I would like to crow a bit when I predicted a while back the Coalition was closing in on him. Seems I was right! Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the mastermind behind hundreds of bombings, kidnappings and beheadings in Iraq, was killed Wednesday evening by an air strike northwest of Baghdad, U.S. and Iraqi officials said […]

Deport For Real Crimes

Reader JWM provided the example argument which could bring the conservative coalition back together on immigration and the law. Of course, the knee-jerk far right would need to stop emoting and be willing to compromise. I will not hold my breathe – just offer the obvious solution. JWM provided the following example of the dark […]
