Not only do Democrats lack a unifying and leading message, not only have they become the antithesis of a strong America leading the world to a better future, not only have the Democrats become the party of “cut and run” and “let’s Impeach Bush”, they don’t even have their act together to get out the […]

Israel’s Special Forces pulled off a daring raid in the Bekaa Valley and captured a number of Hezbollah officials. All this while

Lebanese officials are noting a lot of Israeli Air Force activity in the Bekaa Valley near the Syrian border. Some wonder if IDF troops will soon be entering the area. Lebanese army and security officials said Tuesday night that a major IDF operation was underway against suspected Hizbullah positions near Baalbeek in eastern Lebanon’s Bekaa […]

The UK Guardian (note: I just noticed this story is in more than the Guardian) is taking the questions regarding staged photos at Qana somewhat seriously – but not really. The article seems to be one of simple feigned shock that anyone would charege the media with staging the photos. Well it is clear this […]

Two extended families, the Shalhoubs and the Hashems, had gathered in a three-story house on the outskirts of the village of […]

Why does this man makes sense, and this one, this one, this one and this one all seem misguided and over the top? Probably because all those others are worried about opinions and not results. Results shape opinions. The last one (James Pinkerton) is sadly 100% wrong. The naysayers and handwringers all sing the same […]

The Qana incident is not playing out as Hezbollah and the leftwing media and anti-US groups had wished. I have been talking to staunch Democrats who never side with the Conservatives without a lot of debate and they all see Hezbollah as the criminal in Qana. As I posted on Saturday, right before the incident […]

Democrats cannot surrender on surrender. There is now a ‘united front’ on cutting and running from Iraq. Good thing all those calling for retreat are already here at the rear of the battle, else there would be stampede of panicked liberals. Obviously the Democrats are pandering to their minority anti-war base who have been trying […]
