The Mahdi Army and al-Qaeda are unable to fight the modern weapons systems the US can bring to bear – even in the urban warfare required in the slums of Sadr City in Baghdad. Check out how our robots in the sky can detect, track and destroy Sadr’s goons with precision:     At 3:30 […]

If Sadr does have control of his Mahdi Army then he is in deep trouble in Iraq because Mhis forces have targeted and attacked a major Shiite center – basically completing his path from opposition leader to traitor and enemy of Iraq: A missile struck the central Baghdad headquarters of the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council […]

As I noted recently there has been no global warming in the last ten years, and in fact we may be in what appears to be a drop off in the global temperature after a recent spike (which is not outside the typical climate ranges of Earth if you look back ten thousand years or […]

This is the year we could decimate the Islamo Fascists who have retreated from the failed efforts in Iraq, Lebanon and Afghanistan to the one place where they can find sanctuary – the lawless tribal regions of Pakistan broken into the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (where most of the terrorist activities seem to be centered) […]

Muqtada al-Sadr has to be losing it, since all his threats are empty ones which are followed by embarrassing caveats and waffling. He threatened a million man march in Najaf, then cancelled it when it was clear he did not have the following to fill the streets. And this weekend he threatened “open” war (as […]

Americans need to be wary of two-faced pols – OK, that sound obvious and easy but it isn’t. Pols have become quite adept at telling lies that are hard to detect or can be ‘parsed’ to mean something totally opposite (it all depends on the what the meaning of ‘is’ is – of course). One […]

The implosion of Moqtada al-Sadr is all the more interesting given how much the SurrenderMedia in the West invested in his supposed ability to derail progress in Iraq. With al-Qaeda on the run and the other militias now integrated into the Iraqi security forces Sadr’s Mahdi Army was the last challenge to stabilizing Iraq for […]

All those who expected Obama to crash instantly in the polls don’t understand polls and don’t understand this time in the process. This far out from the election the people are not tuned in (only us political addicts), so it takes time for events to ripple through. I saw tons of fantasy headlines about how […]
