Both Obama and Hillary have not come forth with one plan to deal with things like this…
Two mentally retarded women strapped with remote-control explosives—and possibly used as unwitting suicide bombers—brought carnage Friday to two pet bazaars, killing at 73 people in the deadliest day since Washington flooded the capital with extra troops last spring…. [...]

The Snyder family has won their lawsuit in Federal court against Phelps and his hate-group! The jury awarded $2.9 million in compensatory damages, $6 million in punitive damages for invasion of privacy and $2 million for causing emotional distress. Of course the cult will hate that decision and come out firing against the [...]

I am very happy to know that someone has taken WBC to task regarding their loony dogma at hate-speak towards the military and America as a whole. While you may not agree with why we went to war in Iraq or why we are still there, the hateful rhetoric from this group is despicable. [...]

It seems like the heat has caused the TNR to finally rise up to the top. Their response to the Beauchamp writings and subsequent investigations still smell fishy. We criticize public spectacles like Dan Rather and Rita Cosby for not getting their “facts” lined up before publishing controversial articles… we need to hold [...]

The New Republic has shoved its big fat foot in its mouth by publishing exaggerated, invented and uncorroborated stories from a soldier who had been stationed in Iraq. Scott Thomas Beauchamp, a private in the U.S. Army, has been discredited for fabricating stories about soldiers mocking a woman disfigured by an injury, getting their [...]

From an article in today’s TheHill:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Sunday that Congress cannot end the war in Iraq without President Bush’s approval.
Voters, she told Fox News Sunday, “want it to end and they had expectations that Congress could end it.”
But, she added, “You know we can’t without a presidential signature.”
That is a difference [...]

The Ultimate Spin Zone… on second thought… the remarks to not deserve to be called ’spin’… they are outright lies and deception. I sincerely hope that the Iranian people can see thorough the smoke screen that the state run media is generating.
Despite entire US media objections, negative propagation and hue and cry in [...]

They don’t allow dissent… that is why you will hear very little of it. And I’m-in-a-jihad’s speech’s today and tomorrow are aimed, not at Israel or the United States, but at his own countrymen. He is showing off his arrogance to Western opinion.
Iran’s judiciary has sealed off the offices of a popular news [...]

I just stumbled across this little piece from IPS news services. It is an account from those famous “Anonymous Sources” within the Pentagon. Whether these events actually happened or not is unclear. And whether Admiral Fallon dislikes General Petraeus as much as is claimed is up for debate. Obviously something is [...]

Despite the premature rifling of the Iraq report this week by both MoveOn(Out).org and many in Congress (especially Hillary Clinton), a Rasmussen poll released Thursday shows that 43% of Americans are behind the plan that General Petraeus presented to Congress and the American people earlier in the week. It seems that this segment of the [...]
