Can we afford to elect a Commander in Chief he says troops are dying in vain when it serves his political purposes and then changes his tune on the national stage? Is it too much to ask that our next President have some integrity?

Joe Biden agress, Barack Obama was playing politics by voting to cut off funding for American troops during war. American soldiers are not pawns in a game of politics. There is no place for a Commander in Chief who values his own political gain over the strength of our military or the support of our troops.

Its no Bojangles’, but this is awesome nonetheless. KFC recently opened up a restaurant in Fallujah, Iraq. Who would want to commit their afternoon to suicide bombings or acts of terrorism when you can sit down and enjoy a cold Pepsi and the Colonel’s original 11 herbs and spices?
It would be kind of [...]

I’m glad Obama is finally going to Iraq to assess to facts on the ground. Thankfully Barack Obama is a “new kind of candidate” who doesn’t play politics with something as important as the war. And thankfully we have professional American media outlets who practice nothing but the highest caliber of journalism and [...]

This week, Iranian Islamist Mahmud Ahmadi-Nejad tested his new ballistic missile, the Shahab-3—range 1,250 miles. Next door in Iraq, 550 metric tons of “yellowcake” uranium ore, which Saddam intended to weaponize for use in his non-existent WMD program, were removed from Tuwaitha. (That’s enough for more than 100 medium-sized nuclear boomers.) And while al-Qa’ida [...]

From the Frontlines was a huge success. Instead of raising $500,000 for care packages to send to our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, Move America Forward raised over $1.5 Million! And if you haven’t contributed its not too late. Care Packages start at just $15.99, and there’s still time for you to [...]

I saw a report about this morning and had to mention it. Even if you are not a dog lover, this is a great story.
SAVANNAH, Ga. – Marine Cpl. Dustin Jerome Lee and his German shepherd, Lex, scoured Iraq for roadside bombs together, slept next to each other and even posed in Santa hats [...]

Jake Keesler lost both of his legs fighting for our country in Iraq. While a trying experience, Jake and his wife Vanessa have fought hard to stay together, adapt together, and grow. And they have.
Jake and Vanessa both are heroes in the truest sense of the word. They both have sacrificed so [...]

A good read, and new addition to the blogroll.
An Inconvenient Truth About Iraq. I particularly liked the editorial the author linked to in an update: The Clinton-Obama-Bush Doctrine.

To express the sense of the Senate that General David H. Petraeus, Commanding General, Multi-National Force-Iraq, deserves the full support of the Senate and strongly condemn personal attacks on the honor and integrity of General Petraeus and all members of the United States Armed Forces.
Please note that the above resolution mentions nothing of support of [...]

First, Chris Matthews and Keith Olberman are schmucks. Governor Huckabee on the other hand comes across more professional and more genuine than 95% of the people who ever make it to either Mathews’ or Olderman’s shows. I agree with Governor Huckabee’s comments 100%.

I’m only 28, so forgive me if I am naive, but when did having the opposition’s response become necessary after a Presidential Address? Has it always been this way? I know its been going on for a while, but when did it start and why? Does the idea of “equal time” really [...]

The Big Picture, a post by Karl and Protein Wisdom deserves everyone’s attention. Make sure you have half an hour or so on your hands. I have not seen a more very detailed account of the accurate reporting (or lack thereof) of the war in Iraq. Draw your own conclusions as to [...]

I’m not sure it was such a good idea to make today such an important day. Liberals and conservatives alike have been waiting with baited breath to see what General Petraeus is going to say as he reports on the war in Iraq and the success of the surge. We already have a good idea [...]
