See Correction Below There has been a lot of news out today regarding the Po-210 trail which continues to conflict with the idea that Litvinenko was poisoned as part of an assassination attempt in the Pine Bar in the Millenium Hotel between 4:30 and 5:00 PM on November 1st. The primary problem is the trail […]

Glancing across the news articles today Bush did quite well. The Pessimist Party has stood up and declared it impossible to succeed in Iraq. With any luck, their appointment with the dustbin of history is now scheduled and committed. The amazing thing is I had no idea that 80% of the violence was concentrated in […]

Reader Crosspatch noted that terrorist group (I am sure is linked to Al Qaeda) has launched chemical weapons on American soldiers in Iraq. The Salahaldin Al-Ayoubi Brigades, the military wing of JAMI, Al Jabha Al-Islamiyya l’il-Muqawama Al-‘Iraqiyya, announced via Islamist websites that today, January 10, 2007, it had fired four missiles loaded with chemicals at […]

The Washington Post is not very confident the political suicide pact the Democrats have embarked upon is going to work for them. In fact, the tone is more of one that their gamble is going to rebound terribly on the Democrats – and fast: Democratic reaction to Bush’s prime-time speech last night was overwhelmingly negative, […]

Bush nailed his speech and the Dems walked off the cliff into oblivion. Bush was clear we had a tough job, but a doable one if things come together. And he was clear that failure in Iraq, especially derived from dumb-headed retreat, would cause the extension of our dying in Iraq and the ME as […]

My spam filter has become very sensitive as of late and is capturing a lot of benign comments. I cannot do anything about this tonight (and maybe for a few days). Be patient – I come by and release comments as often as I can. Your comments will get through eventually.

Those who do not think Iraq is salvageable are going to really be upset to see the Shiite Iraqi PM order the Shiite Mahdi Militia to to disarm and disband or else be destroyed: Iraq’s prime minister has told Mahdi Army militiamen they must surrender their arms or face an all-out assault by U.S.-backed Iraqi […]

The Dems are heading for a PR disaster because their liberal media supporters are going to roast them. I posted this morning on how the Democrats where redefining the term ‘spineless’. And I noted that the Democrat calls to not support any efforts to win Iraq would be their political undoing for years to come […]

I am seeing article after article that Bush can send troops to Iraq, but he cannot move money the Pentagon’s enormous budget around to pay them. Well, paying the troops is not Bush’s responsibility – that job belongs to Congress. So, will Congress not fund troops sent to a Congressionally sanctioned war effort by a […]

I am for comprehensive immigration reform for reasons of seeing security a higher priority than over the top punishment. But there are obviously limits to what I will accept in America. Drudge is reporting on children kicked off their US School bus for speaking English. It is time to fire everyone involved and remind people […]
