Ask Obama - does evil exist?
July 16, 2008
When a conversation begins concerning terrorists, sit back and listen for a few moments. As smart conservatives, it’s hard to avoid jumping right into a discussion and taking a stand, but hold out if you can.
What can be an effective first question? How about does evil exist? The answer from the group members will dictate the flow of the conversation. So Senator Obama, does evil exist? Read more
Iraqi, US special forces at work in Sadr City, Baghdad
April 5, 2008
Plenty of videos from Iraq and Afghanistan on YouTube, but this one surfaced in the last day or so. God bless the troops and keep them safe. It’s clear that this effort is hard and has been and will be dangerous.
Troops are fighting elements loyal to cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who for some reason, troops are not allowed to target. It’s all political nonsense. Do we want to win? If so, his picture should be on a deck of cards somewhere.
Stay safe, and THANK YOU for your service.
See-Dubya at Malkin’s site has more, as does Ace. BlackFive has some good discussion going, and they may have received the video and posted first. BlackFive is letting us know that SSG Ryan Creel sent the footage of US Army Special Forces fighting in Sadr City.
Let’s Look Back: Operational Links Between Iraq and al-Qaida
March 11, 2008
The Houston Chronical’s Study, Iraq had no link to al-Qaida, confirms information that we already knew; there was not an operational link between Iraq and al-Qaida. But what about informal links to al-Qiada and direct links to other terrorist organizations? Hot Air’s post Saddam had “no operational ties” to AQ: Pentagon, got me into a research mode this afternoon.
During the days after Sept. 11, 2001 there was quite a ruckus going on in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Within days, thousands of Afghans began to flee Kabul. Since the Taliban was enthusiastically supporting al-Qaida, and al-Qaida recently attacked the United States, it was time to get out of Dodge. Read more
Attacks Against Military Not Limited to Recruiters
March 7, 2008
Michelle Malkin chronicles the attacks that have taken place on military recruitment centers all over the United States during the past few years, and it’s probably one of her longest posts ever. Radicals frequently attack these centers, and since the punishment is so light or non-existent, I expect it to continue.
Liberals frequently gloat that they support the troops, but just don’t support the war. It’s all about Bush you see, and his illegal war. Ugh.
Democrat leadership in Washington seems to be caught in the middle. Well, not really. I guess it’s better said that they want to eat their cake and have it too. What they want, dollars and support from the fringe way-left and the ability to do the right thing - not pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan - are not compatible goals.
Code Pink and the other liberal wackos don’t just attack recruitment centers, they also attack the troops themselves and the supplies they need to do their job. It happens all the time.
What’s next? I’m concerned, and would not be surprised, if fringe moonbats were to start providing information that may make it easier to attack our troops overseas or in the states. Think it’s not possible? Let’s review one of the attacks Malkin reminds us about.
January 20, 2005. At Seattle Central Community College, Army recruiter Sgt. Jeff Due and his colleague, Sgt. 1st Class Douglas Washington were surrounded by an angry mob of 500 anti-war students. The recruiters’ table was destroyed; their handouts torn apart. The protesters threw water bottles and newspapers at the soldiers, shouted profanities, and wielded their fists. The far Left Students Against War had been agitating to kick the recruiters off campus. The college administration refused to punish the mobsters.
So, how far will they go?
Freedom Matters to Iraqis
March 4, 2008
That’s right, freedom matters. The New York Times posted an article describing how violence - spurred on by Islamic clerics - have left young people in Iraq disillusioned with religious leaders and ready for a change.
“I hate Islam and all the clerics because they limit our freedom every day and their instruction became heavy over us,” said Sara, a high school student in Basra. “Most of the girls in my high school hate that Islamic people control the authority because they don’t deserve to be rulers.”
Well there ya go.
