Excuse me, would you stop hating us, please? Thanks!

Excuse me, would you stop hating us, please? Thanks!

I was watching the news this morning, like I do everyday. And, I caught General David Petraeus as he addressed a House appropriations subcommittee — voicing his concern about recent insurgent “homicide” bombings in Iraq. Gen. Patraeus warned that the progress in Iraq is still “fragile and reversible.” Then, in the background, I saw something [...]

Gaffes of international proportions

This will be short.
All ideology aside, I am embarrassed to be an American right now. Obama ran his campaign partially under the new paradigm of “mending international fences.”
Well, this past week has left us with egg on our faces. First, Obama blatantly snubbed Prime Minister Gordon Brown from the United Kingdom. Not to mention that [...]

Taking Down Hussein: If Not Us, Who… And When?

Some of you may have realized that I have little tolerance for liberals, and the following story provides reason enough. . In my argument for why the Iraq war was necessary, I don’t include the fact that we we did what no one else could or would – we got rid of one of the [...]

Editor’s Note: When I was the editor of a small rightwing “rag,” I had the pleasure of having a working relationship with a couple of guys in uniform, both of whom were doing tours of duty in Iraq.

Still reeling from the “lead painted (in some circles ‘lead tainted’) Hot Wheels/toys scandal,” Wal-Mart has been caught selling, yet, another hazardous product made in China.

Remember the good old days when a fully and forever contained Saddam led Iraq and we were on the brink of permanent Middle East peace before Bush stirred the hornet’s nest?
If you don’t remember that, this may be why.
As you know, there’s now scientific consensus that liberals are a far [...]

Two separate stories: one from the New York Times and another from the Washington Post highlight the importance of politics with regard to the Iraq War.
While the Times story only mentions it in passing, the Post gives special deference to the fact that key Republicans are no longer supporting President Bush [...]

Proof the war in Iraq is working

Proof the war in Iraq is working

Amid all the “Bush lied!” chanting from the left, there is an actual amount of level-headed argument over U.S. forces remaining in the sand. The left argues: Why should U.S. soldiers continue to die when the new Iraqi government should be fighting its own in-country battles? The Right counters: Fighting in Iraq keeps the battle [...]
