Boy, the far left is tying itself into mental knots trying to throw cold water on the Iraq war and its path to success. Needless to say the Twisted Logic Express is being led by the Gray Lady herself. Check out this headline, and then compare it with what is actually being reported on (and […]

OK, I did not think the Surrendercrats in Congress were so self-destructive and stupid they would go all out and try and reverse all the progress in Iraq. I was wrong. They are that stupid. If we withdraw al-Qaeda will try and regain a modicum of success from their butt whooping they have received. As […]

What can one say about the former CIA head of the Bin Laden unit, who prior to 9-11 underestimated Bin Laden’s abilities, now taking each exaggeration and faux bravado quote by Bin Laden as gospel? Nearly a month since Osama bin Laden published his message to “our people in Iraq”, it is worth taking a […]

I have to admit, even I hesitate at times to say Iraq is a victory – but it is. Yes, there is an ever dwindling chance al-Qaeda will attack their fellow Muslims in Iraq and inflict more atrocities on them. But it would be their last act as part of Islam, because they would then […]

What does it tell us if hundreds of thousands of Iraqi refugees are returning to Iraq? Update: I guess we can add another metric to the mix of indicators showing a path to victory in Iraq: Civilian casualties are down 60% across Iraq since June, Smith said, and the figure for the capital is even […]

Bumped – update below The SurrenderMedia sees what it wants to see. It sees profits and it sees liberal political dominance. And anything that supports those two visions is all some care about – that is the essence of their ‘journalism’. Well blogs have a different standard. And so it was probably not hard for […]

The current crop (or is that ‘crap’) of Democrat Leaders is a wonder of a disaster. They cannot accept victory in Iraq, so they try to short shrift those on the front lines. Gingrich tried a shutdown of government services to force President Clinton to do the bidding of Congress. Lots of people got angry […]

The stories of al-Qaeda’s problems are starting to avalanche as Iraq turns the corner, causing a domino effect across the Muslim world in terms of al-Qaeda’s falling credibility and respect. The wave of good news is so strong I can only synopsize and link to the stories these days. So here we go: Coalition forces […]

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. Like FL it is considered a purple state at best. So it is always useful to know what the people of Ohio (my mother’s home state) […]

While there is reasonable caution that things in Iraq could still reverse, I think those reasons are swiftly vanishing. Let me first start with the new picture of Iraqi life, as presented by Newsweek: Meanwhile, though, I can contemplate activities that were once unthinkable: like going out to dinner. Baghdad’s famous mazghouf restaurants, selling barbecued […]
