Hillary Clinton is going to clean Barack Obama’s clock in West Virginia today, so what will that bring us? If I were Hillary I would stay in at least until the last primaries to show respect for the voters – something the Democrats panicking over the primary battle are afraid to do. It would give […]

The four day ‘truce’ brokered by the Shiite Sadrists, the only remaining faction still fighting in Iraq, meant to stop the fighting in the Sadr City area of Baghdad has failed – indicating Sadr and his Sadrist movement in Iraq have no control over the Iranian trained and armed thugs trying to destabilize the democratically […]

In the post below I noted how the brutal oppression of Sadr City residents, at the hands of the Iranian trained and armed Mahdi Army, was eroding any and all popular support for the Sadrists who are the ones providing political cover for the human atrocities. A recent ‘news’ article catalogues the Islamo Fascist hell […]

Bumped to Top – Major Update: It would seem Sadr is not willing to go for a real suspension of the fighting, signing up to only a 4 day “truce”: Representatives of the Shiite cleric Moktada al-Sadr and lawmakers from Iraq’s main Shiite political bloc signed a four-day cease-fire Monday in an effort to end […]

I had not really seen any connection between Sen Obama’s campaign and the disastrous campaign of Governor Michael Dukakis against George Bush Sr in 1988. But that was up until I read Susan Estrich try and make the case Obama is not another Dukakis. Tried and failed, that is. By the time I got through […]

Well, that did not take long. While Time magazine declared Sadr and his Sadrists victors in their efforts to surrender and sue for peace with the Maliki Government, I asked the core question about events in Iraq – who controls the Mahdi Army, Sadr or Iran? Well, if you go by the NY Times it […]

Hyper partisanship is out. The American people, who largely do not obsess about politics, is fed up with those who do obsess to the point there is no answer they will accept on any issue – except the answer of the extremes. The liberals tasted this in 2006 with the Ned Lamont (far left) and […]

OK, call me dense. Call me Pollyannish. Call me an optimist. I have hedged for years in calling the liberal western news media allies of the enemies of freedom and democracy. I have hinted their actions would make one wonder, but I have also given them some leeway by acknowledging that in the heat of […]

It is the summer of 2001 and, according to liberal rantings, Bush is fiddling while AQ prepares for 9-11. During the fateful years that led up to 9-11 the liberal paranoia over a second coming of Nixon led to what was called the Gorelick Wall – procedural barrier that did not allow intelligence which discovered […]

It was good news that greeted the world yesterday (and for Iraq and America) that Sadr’s militant forces sued for surrender across Iraq. They are working a “cease fire” which basically calls for the disarming of the Mahdi Army (no medium or heavy weapons allowed in the hands of ‘civilians’). On a side note I […]
