Oh my, it seems things really are not as bad in Baghdad as the SurrenderMedia and Surrendercrats keep fantasizing from their perches in DC and NY City: Twilight brings traffic jams to the main shopping district of this once-affluent corner of Baghdad and hundreds of people stroll past well-stocked vegetable stands, bakeries and butcher shops. […]

The America forces Surge and Iraqi Muslim uprising against al-Qaeda atrocities apparently combined to cleanse Baghdad of al-Qaeda (note, there will be the occasional attack – I am not being Pollyannish – but they will now have to be executed from bases outside of Baghdad): American forces have pushed Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia out of […]

How far will the liberal SurrenderMedia go to avoid facing the obvious fact that our efforts in Iraq have crippled Bin Laden’s movement? Will the liberals still claim all is lost for America even when Islamic Jihadists are writing al-Qaeda’s number two asserting al-Qaeda’s utter faillure? A former leader of an armed Islamic group in […]

Update: Another indication that the far right is alienating (of course, insulting moderates, er.. RINOS, clearly alienates) the voters and costing elections: Republican losses yesterday, even in solidly GOP districts, he said, were more often the result of a candidate being too conservative for the moderate direction most voters want Virginia to take. “If you […]

We see again and again examples of why the FISA prudes, who will not allow NSA detected leads discovered while LEGALLY surveying international terrorists to be followed up by FBI investigations PRIOR to a FISA court ruling (which would enable electronic surveillance on those leads specifically – and not before hand). Today we see another […]

I noted days ago the AP had put out an article that tried to cover up the fact violence in Iraq is dropping to ALL TIME Lows. The point was clear: averaging the violence over the year of 2007 was playing with numbers to create a fantasy representation. Yes, more US troops died in 2007 […]

One of our readers pointed me to this blunt and scathing assessment of the biased reporting on Iraq which, in essence, presents a fantasy world view of Iraq at odds with what people in country are experiencing. And for one reporter who seems to still have a journalistic credo, the situation between what is being […]

Jackson Diehl at the WaPo has some interesting predictions on the secrecy surrounding Israel’s destruction of a nuclear weapons facility in Syria two months ago: It was two months ago tomorrow that Israeli warplanes bombed what Israel and the United States believed was a nascent Syrian nuclear complex along the shore of the Euphrates River. […]

The news media is too quiet. Are they stunned at how wrong they were in predicting defeat in Iraq? Are they going to become the Modern “Tokyo Rose” and spin propaganda for our enemies like the AP did this week in pretending there has not been a significant drop off in violence in Iraq? Is […]
