The critics who disingenuously argued for the US to ignore Iraq in favor of other threats like North Korea should have anticipated (as did the Administration) the impact of success in Iraq: ripple effects through rogue nations. It has already started.
The Chinese have finally begun to pressure North Korea. They have turned off the oil [...]

If you mention the name Jane Fonda to those of us who are veterans of the Vietnam War, you will observe a visceral response of disgust, followed by words like traitor and hanging and others best not repeated. Jane Fonda went to Vietnam during that war and broadcast propaganda for the enemy, most notoriously smiling [...]

Listening to Col. David Hackworth on CNN, I am amazed at how consistently myopic he continues to be.
Hackworth is one of America’s most decorated soldiers, and proved in Vietnam that he was a courageous and deadly commander. His books are fascinating and moving (I highly recommend “Steel My Soldiers’ Hearts”).
However, he also proved [...]

Last week I was pleased to discover that I could get live streaming feeds from the network cameras in Baghdad. These were available from CNN and ABC with a purchase from Real of their “RealOne SuperPass.”
This is a revolutionary concept. Rather than providing news as an editor sees fit, or even the live news from [...]

In spite of how government ministers and the press make it look, we have many friends in many countries. A long term friend of the US has been Canada, fighting with us most recently in Afghanistan, even though the current Liberal government has decreed that they will not be with us in Iraq.
To show their [...]

What do the UN Security Council, Turkey and Cameroon have in common?
All were pressured by the French to obstruct the United States in its War on Terror.
France joined with us to give Iraq a last chance in Resolution 1441. Then they stabbed us in the back by preventing any subsequent enforcing resolution. In addition [...]

Referring to the alleged loss of life in a Baghdad market, the New York Times asserts [emphasis added]:
“The deaths of civilians in a working-class neighborhood in Baghdad called into question the Pentagon’s assertions about the accuracy of its precision weapons. American officials said late today that the airstrikes, just before lunchtime, were intended to destroy [...]

I am still doing my blogging at The Command Post, a collaborative blog that keeps very up to date with war news.
Thus this blog may be updated infrequently.

Geraldo Rivera has been a cheezy lefty since his days as a New York lawyer for leftist causes.
I have come to the conclusion that after 9-11 he actually changed from a wacky lefty to a wacky non-lefty. He said that 9-11 really changed his attitudes, and I believe him. He even expressed regret tonite [...]

We have a real problem in our “multicultural” society: a Muslim fifth column.
Although the media ignored it, the Beltway Snipers were Muslim, and this appeared to be part of their motivation. For example, John Mohammed adopted his Muslim name just after the 9/11 attack. He was also a member of the racist Nation of [...]
