More and more areas of Iraq are joining forces to protect their areas from al-Qaeda and Mahdi terrorists: U.S. forces have brokered an agreement between Sunni and Shi’ite tribal leaders to join forces against al Qaeda and other extremists, extending a policy that has transformed the security situation in western Anbar province to this area […]

The SurrenderMedia is just now grasping what has been happening in Iraq with regards to al-Qaeda. Only now do they understand that human beings are not tolerant to just any level of brutality and violence. The SurrenderMedia are finally groping their way of their “made for TV” view of the world. Iraqis are repulsed by […]

I am off for a bit of a vacation weekend, so my apologies if comments get stuck in the spam queues. But I will leave knowing some at the NY Times finally see the light and realize America is playing a critical role in stabiltizing Iraq and inhibiting violence: Well, I think, quite simply that […]

Needless to say the SurrenderMedia is not interested in Iraq because they are obsessed with reporting what is happening in Congress about Iraq than what is happening in Iraq. As if the lense of Congress can shed clarifying light onto the Iraq situation. Congress tends to be more fiction than fact, hyperbole than insight, and […]

Well now that the Russians have booted out British diplomats in retaliation for the UK deporting Russian diplomats there seems to be nowhere for this idiotic dance to go.

Seems Plame’s Lame Blame did not pass the laugh test with a federal judge: A federal judge on Thursday dismissed former CIA operative Valerie Plame’s lawsuit against members of the Bush administration in the CIA leak scandal. H/T Drudge. I actually am disappointed. I felty the civil trial would allow Libby and those who are […]

It seems Iraqis have been attempting to set up an underground railroad to sneak themselves into the US – clearly for nefarious reasons: A criminal ring attempting to smuggle Iraqis into the United States has been busted in Lima, Peru, U.S. law enforcement officials tell the Blotter on ABCNews.com. At least 10 Iraqis have been […]

Just some events in Iraq which may not be hitting the headlines. Both the Sunni bloc and Sadr’s Mahdi bloc in Iraq’s parliament have both ended their boycots, showing a resurgency of support for the Iraqi government. Hopefully the time off from the heat of the debate will bring cooler heads and progress to the […]

Is al-Qaeda guiding, funding and coordinating insurgent operations in Iraq? Yes. Are Islamo Fasicsts in Iraq guiding, funding and coordinating activities in Iraq? Of course. When allies work together they do things together and they do things independently. Sadly our intel folks are overthinking the relationship and trying to define pointless nuances: Brig. Gen. Kevin […]
