Bellweather States Ohio & Florida Points To Shifting Views On Iraq

Ohio is a notoriously bellweather (or maybe in this 50-50 nation that should be weathervane) state. It totters left and right depending on the prevailing mood of the country.

Does al-Qaeda Dare To Destroy The New Found Peace Of Iraqis Muslims?

While there is reasonable caution that things in Iraq could still reverse, I think those reasons are swiftly vanishing.

Oh The Humanity! The Surrendercrats & SurrenderMedia Are Doomed.

The led zeppelin of defeatism on Iraq is crashing and burning like the Hindenburg did when it brought an end to airships.
