One of our more liberal readers thinks Turkey, being an Islamic country and tilting towards Islamic law, has become complicit as Syria in the war on terror and would never work against Al Qaeda. As usual, the liberals are all fantasy and no reality. Turkey has been the target of Al Qaeda terrorism and is […]

The ‘Fence Only’ crowd, which helped bring about the Republican debacle, are at it again and threatening further damage to Reps if they don’t get their way. Just like Cleavon Little holding a gun to his own head in Blazing Saddles, they bring us this silliness: Now that Democrats are in control on Capitol Hill, […]

The war on terror is raging in Afghanistan and Pakistan. NATO and Afghani forces were very successful this weekend in their efforts to confront the terrorists. But it is becoming clear that the center of the terrorist effort has moved to the Northern Provinces of Pakistan. This can be evidenced by the fact Pakistanis seem […]

Murtha wants to bring troops home so he can buy votes with Federal handouts, apparently oblivious to the resulting boost that kind of retreat will give to Al Qaeda. And now Carl Levin is more interested […]

Finally the US is taking on the forces of Muqtada al-Sadr in Iraq. It seems the Democrat plan to withdrawal forces may have lit a fire of urgency in some corners of Iraq. My guess is PM Maliki understands he only has so much time for the US to play a pivatol role. .S. forces […]

This is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. Want to know the number one reason for immigration? Economic conditions between South America and here. If South America’s economies where more like Europe’s we would be seeing migration out of the US.

The Iraq Group is not ready to present the results of their work, and if I know this town and how these things work, they won’t be ready for some time. The report is due at year’s end, but it seems the group has yet to meet to begin the final thrashing process, which will […]

In what has to be a bizarre footnote to the story of NY Times Reporter Judith Miller, it seems she was witness to the interrogation of a Chicago based Palestinian sympathizer in 1993: Journalist Judith Miller told a federal court jury Monday how she secretly witnessed the 1993 interrogation of a Chicago grocer charged with […]
