Impatience kills. Impatient drivers are dangerous with road rage, and impatient legislators produce abhorent results. Impatience with regard to Iraq will KILL. There is no way around this reality. If we depart too soon, before Iraq can safely grab the reigns of all the success we are now seeing, there will be a blood bath […]

The SurrenderMedia is all in a tizzy because the Iraq Parliament is at loggerheads on key legislation and is taking the month off in August. Personally I think this is a good idea. When emotions are high and stress is making it hard to compromise, taking some down time to cool off and regain some […]

Why is anyone still claiming we cannot win in Iraq when the entire country is taking up arms against al-Qaeda? Why is anyone even considering a withdrawal of forces on the verge of a huge military, political and PR success? When 50 tribal leaders meet in one Iraq Province to fight al-Qaeda and get their […]

With al-Qaeda losing support in Iraq to the point locals are signing peace agreements and swearing on the Koran to fight terrorists in their regions, Iran is posturing to be the next big issue in Iraq. We have known of border incursion problems by Iranians and people being supported from Iranian safe havens. In fact […]

I tend to read US media reports with a lot of skepticism when it comes to Iraq. The liberal bent of the media (making them clear allies of the Surrendercrats) and their emotional investment in Bush losing makes them a useless source beyond facts that appear across the media spectrum. In essence confirm what I […]

I will not insult my reader’s intelligence by interpretting the White House interim report on Iraq, you can read it for yourself. But please note the purpose of the report and the effort in Iraq: Section 1314 of the U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans’ Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007 (Public Law 110-28) […]

The Surrendercrats are the only thing saving the GOP right now. As poll after poll shows Americans are not happy with Bush or the war in Iraq, but they hold the Democrat congress (and congress in general) in even lower esteem. We elected George Bush and clearly gave him a second term to deal with […]

The process of investigating serious allegations regarding executions in Haditha is nearly over and the honor of the US Marines has been retained intact. An investigating officer has recommended dismissing murder charges against a U.S. Marine accused in the slayings of three Iraqi men in a squad action that killed 24 civilians in the town […]

To understand the sea change washing over Iraq one only needs to look at al-Qaeda’s latest attempt to gain a base of operations. Early on al-Qaeda would come into regions of Iraq and find allies. But the word is out about what al-Qaeda does to Muslims when it comes to town, and now al-Qaeda finds […]

I posted yesterday that al-Qaeda had become so blood-thirsty it decided to slaughter innocent Muslim in a small, quiet Iraqi village to achieve some major press time. I predicted this would rebound badly on al-Qaeda with the Iraqi and Muslim ‘street’. It did not take long for Sunni extremists to publically slap down al-Qaeda’s senseless […]
