Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
While the MSM focuses on the deaths in Iraq, the successes, while not ignored, haven’t gotten as much play. So, I’ll add my bit to reminding all of us that our troops, working with the Iraqi troops, are succeeding in their mission, something they did quite well this past weekend:
Continue readingI’ve never really focused too much on the concept of the Bush Doctrine — President Bush’s spoken pronouncements about his foreign policy goals in a post-9/11 world — instead focusing on what Bush has actually done. I therefore seemed to have missed the fact that the Middle Left is crowing
Continue readingHere’s a bit of good news: An ambitious military sweep appears to be dramatically reducing Baghdad’s homicide rate, U.S. and Iraqi officials said Sunday — even as violence nationwide killed at least 80 people, including six U.S. soldiers in and around the capital. Last month, the Baghdad morgue received more
Continue readingIt always amazes me when AP still pretends it’s a news outlet, rather than an anti-American propaganda machine. How’s this for an article: Do you believe in Iraqi “WMD”? Did Saddam Hussein’s government have weapons of mass destruction in 2003? Half of America apparently still thinks so, a new poll
Continue readingIf you would like to learn something inspiring (and awe-inspiring) about our troops in Iraq, something that you don’t read about in the papers, go here.
Continue readingWhile most eyes (mine included) are focused on Israel’s northern and Lebanon’s southern borders, things are heating up in the Middle East. So much so that CENTCOM, rather than sending out a series of individual press releases, resorted to sending out a bunch of intriguing summaries that interested people may
Continue readingFrom CENTCOM comes a nice report about the freeing of 3 Iraqi citizens who were held in a spider hole for 27 days, and tortured during that time, as well as the capture of a large cache of weapons, including an armed suicide car: CAMP FALLUJAH, Iraq – Marines from
Continue readingMuch attention right now is focused on the border between Israel and Lebanon, but that doesn’t mean the US isn’t continuing to do its work in Iraq. It looks as if there’s another fairly big initiative going on to drive out terrorists from one of their local bases. What’s interesting
Continue readingSometimes, a picture is worth way more than a thousand words. Michael Ramirez gets it. This goes to the point I’ve been trying to make, which is that the anti-American/anti-Israel groups are willing to countenance a war only if they can assure that there is no possibility that the USA
Continue readingOne of Saddam Hussein’s former palaces is being turned over to the Iraqi government: MOSUL, Iraq – Task Force Band of Brothers will turn over control of the former Saddam Hussein presidential compound here to Iraqi government officials in a ceremony in Mosul July 20. The Mosul VIP Residence site,
Continue readingThe war claimed another life, that of Army Spc. 4 Christopher D. Rose. His death is noteworthy, not only because it’s a tragedy every time an American soldier dies, but because he is San Francisco’s first Iraq tragedy since the war’s start more than three years ago: The parents of
Continue readingFor those on the Left atwitter about the fact that George Bush doesn't feel obligated to extend to Islamofascist terrorists (a) any rights under our Constitution; (b) any rights according to our own military men/women under a court martial; or (c) even the full panoply of rights accorded signatories to
Continue readingWell, it's official and it's dreadful: The bodies of two U.S. soldiers reported captured last week have been recovered, and an Iraqi defense ministry official said Tuesday the men were "killed in a barbaric way." The U.S. military said the remains were believed to be those of Pfc. Kristian Menchaca,
Continue readingI'm disgusted with the coverage of Al-Zarqawi's death, which focuses obsessively on how meaningless it is and how it will do little if nothing to make a difference in the President's war for oil. Oh, by the way, try telling that to the wildly celebrating Iraqis. The worst I heard
Continue readingThis time it doesn't look like a rumor. This time it looks like the real deal: Gen. George W. Casey Jr., Multi-National Force-Iraq Commanding General, announced the death of al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi in the following statement during a press conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki
