The ‘Bush Lied” Lie Exposed

Monday, June 9th, 2008

The last media outlet on Earth that you’d expect to expose one of the Left’s most cherished myths, did just that this morning. The Washington Post–yes, the POST, not the Times–actually published today an editorial titled “‘Bush Lied’? If Only It Were That Simple.”
You could’ve knocked me over with a feather when […]

Haditha (hit?) piece on PBS Frontline tonight

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

Last night, I was at Michelle Malkin’s blog, reading an old post that opened my eyes on what really happened in Haditha.

Troop-bashing lawyer faces the music tomorrow

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

As a veteran (Army) myself, this story rankles me.
Sgt. Michael McNulty, a 26-year-old Marine from Chicago, had his car keyed allegedly by a jerkball lawyer as he visited a friend before he left for his second tour in Iraq.
Charges against the lawyer, 55-year-old Jay Grodner, might be upgraded to a felony, […]

Defeatist Dems throw in towel on Iraq

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

Well, they’re making it official now, anyway. At least Harry Reid says so:
The war in Iraq “is lost” and a US troop surge is failing to bring peace to the country, the leader of the Democratic majority in the US Congress, Harry Reid, said Thursday.
“I believe … that this war is lost, […]

Hmm, they sound like Democrats

Monday, April 9th, 2007

The only thing missing is a the demand for a troop withdrawal deadline that coincides nicely with the 2008 Presidential election season:
Tens of thousands of Shiites — a sea of women in black abayas and men waving Iraqi flags — rallied Monday to demand that U.S. forces leave their country. Some ripped apart American flags […]

Wednesday, April 4th, 2007

Now the bad news:

The world has taken its eyes off Iran’s developing nuclear capacity

‘Bout time someone said it

Monday, April 2nd, 2007

“The American people are not getting the full picture of what’s happening here. They’re not getting the full picture of the drop in murders, the establishment of security outposts throughout the city, the situation in Anbar province, the deployment of additional Iraqi brigades which are performing well, and other signs of progress having been made,” […]
