Obama playing politics with troop withdrawls
When the president makes a big deal about Iraq troop reductions – including a change to place more forces in Afghanistan – but quietly sends another brigade to Iraq to replace troops scheduled to go to Iraq, what do we call that? You’ll have to spend a few minute to absorb the details, but the…
Read MoreTimetable? We don’t need no stinking timetable.
I am not kidding. This morning on Morning Joe Congressman James Clyburn (D-NC) tells the MSNBC crew that Obama may not get the troops out of Iraq in 16 months. In fact …. well You are just going to have to watch it to believe it. I did … 3 times before I posted it…
Read MoreWeasel!
Of all the stupid idiotic things this guy says and gets away with … this was perhaps the highlight of the Sunday Morning Talk shows and, may I say, assures me of another great year on the show. David Gregory pins Harry Reid down on his ‘o6 comment, “the war is lost.” This little weasel…
Read MoreDid you hear? US, Colalition forces winning war in Iraq
You probably didn’t hear, at least that is what many non-main stream media outlets surmised today. You see, two Associated Press reporters that had the gall to write a story with the headline Analysis: US now winning Iraq war that seemed lost. Robert Burns’s and Robert H. Reid’s piece was released by the AP on…
Read MoreObama – surge was a bad idea
Lots of discussion concerning Obama’s speech in Jordan this morning; many are just finding out that Barack is not as good speaking on the fly as compared to reading a teleprompter.

Read MoreAP Bias on Display Again – Mea Culpa Time?
The AP’s headline should read that 54 out of 59 water treatment plants in Iraq meet or exceed strict water standards, but it doesn’t. Michelle Malkin posted a full review of the story – Bias alert: The Cheney/KBR-deranged Associated Press spins a DoD report on water quality in Iraq – and unlike the AP story…

The Houston Chronical’s Study, Iraq had no link to al-Qaida, confirms information that we already knew; there was not an operational link between Iraq and al-Qaida. But what about informal links to al-Qiada and direct links to other terrorist organizations? Hot Air’s post Saddam had “no operational ties” to AQ: Pentagon, got me into a…

That’s right, freedom matters. The New York Times posted an article describing how violence – spurred on by Islamic clerics – have left young people in Iraq disillusioned with religious leaders and ready for a change. “I hate Islam and all the clerics because they limit our freedom every day and their instruction became heavy…
