The reason Bush is gaining confidence in Iraq is because (a) the tide is turning there against al-Qaeda and (b) a majority of America sees that Iraq can be won: A majority of Americans say the United States can win the war in Iraq, but the country is sharply divided along party lines about every […]

Things must be going very well in Iraq if Bush is ready to up the ante and go all in with Congress: President Bush plans to ask Congress next month for up to $50 billion in additional funding for the war in Iraq, a White House official said yesterday, a move that appears to reflect […]

al-Qaeda is losing ground among Muslims in ever increasing numbers. In Iraq the sinking of al-Qaeda, due to their violence and bloodlust, has turned the situation around to the point Iraqis are taking up arms to liberate themselves and their neighbors from al-Qaeda’s brutal control. When Iraqi mothers are demanding their children stay away from […]

The showdown over Iraq, to be held in the OK Corral of Congress, is going to happen right near the anniversary of 9-11. And my prediction is it will be a huge dud, primarily because the Surrendercrats in Congress and the SurrenderMedia are out on a limb and the progress we have seen is going […]

As we saw al-Qaeda being rejected across Iraq by the local Iraqis, al-Qaeda decided to turn to bombing, kiling and maiming innocent Muslims to try and re-establish authority in regions where they once had support.

She is acknowledging the Surge is working (primarily because Iraqis are rising up against al-Qaeda and if not sending in tips taking up arms to destroy al-Qaeda), but her knee jerk, idiotic reaction is to surrender to al-Qaeda anyway! New military tactics in Iraq are working […]

The latest ‘tip’ from fed up Iraqis, who have determined to fight al-Qaeda instead of provide them support and sanctuary within their midsts, has netted a large number of al-Qaeda members attending what must have been a serious gathering given the numbers: raqi Security Forces and 8th Iraqi Army Scouts, with U.S. Special Forces as […]

Want to know how desperately some left tilting people will go to deny Iraq is turning around? They will go so far as to call General Petraeus a betrayer of America: AFTER being hailed as King David, the potential saviour of Iraq, the US commander General David Petraeus is facing a backlash in advance of […]

Things must be going really bad for the Shiia Mahdi Militias in Iraq because Iran apparently has sent a good sized force into Iraq: merican forces are tracking about 50 members of an elite Iranian force who have crossed the border into southern Iraq to train Shiite militia fighters, a top U.S. general said Sunday.
