Islam is a religion. Islamism, like all of those other familiar isms — communism, […]

Those Notorious Greeley Girls

When you’re right, you’re right. As unpleasant as it may be, I think it’s finally time for us to face up to the facts and issue some apologies. A more thorough examination of the historical evidence appears to support what the liberals have been telling us all along — that we Americans were, indeed, responsible […]

Iraq is a “quagmire;” Alright, I said It

Cross posted from DeMediacratic Nation:
The term “quagmire” and the beginnings of its overuse hark back to the Vietnam War; becoming part of the popular lexicon following the publication of David Halberstam’s Pulitzer Prize winning account of the Diem/Kennedy years of the Vietnam War, “The Making of a Quagmire.”
Just about every military intervention of the U.S. […]

Between Iraq and a Hard Place

It looks like Iraq is back in Washington (did it really ever leave?). There’s going to be fighting on Capitol Hill, but we can’t forget the brave soldiers fighting in Iraq, coalition and Iraqi soldiers.

President Bush: Will he try to make a deal […]

Peter Pace, the outgoing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, “incompetent” during an interview Tuesday with a group of liberal bloggers, a comment that was never reported.

Iran: Equal Opportunity Terrorist Regime – Sunni, Shia, Taliban, Latin America

From DeMediacratic Nation:
In this post: Iranian weapons in Afghanistan; Ahmadinejad vows to cut off hands and Islamic fundamentalism’s rise in Latin America.
As we breathlessly await some type of action on the Ilsamic Republic of Iran by the UN, EU and others, the radical militancy of that regime continues to spread throughout the world. Not only […]
