Happy Veterans Day; I am so proud of our men and women serving to protect our country. Here's a compilation of videos of dogs welcoming home their soldiers after being away for months.

Let Freedom Reign!
Surrender
Today, the Democratic Senate will attempt to surrender to the terrorists again. This is the second attempt to surrender. Bush vetoed the first attempt, and he promises to veto the second attempt. In the meantime, funding for the troops is being held hostage by defeatists that claim to "support the troops." How they claim to … Continue reading Surrender
Iranian Embassy
Apparently Iran doesn't care for the US military action and has listed Russian support for their position. Apparently US troops raided an Iranian office in the Iraqi city of Arbil and are holding 6 Iranians in their role of assisting terrorist in Iraq. Iran claims they are diplomats (or will eventually claim they are diplomats) … Continue reading Iranian Embassy
Help Us Jon Cary We R Stuk in Irak
Yup, that just about killed John Kerry's chances of being President in 2008. First he insulted the troops, saying that if you're stupid you get stuck in Iraq. Then, instead of apologizing, he went on the offensize and blamed Bush, even though Bush had nothing to do with Kerry's statement. Then Kerry claimed it was … Continue reading Help Us Jon Cary We R Stuk in Irak
Remembering 9/11
Five years later, I am not so sure most Americans remember that our civilians were attacked without provocation and that we went to war with Islamic jihadists. Our enemies remember.
U.S. Border Patrol Works for Mexico
There must be a good reason for this. While Minuteman civilian patrols are keeping an eye out for illegal border crossers, the U.S. Border Patrol is keeping an eye out for Minutemen -- and telling the Mexican government where they are. Wouldn't it be cheaper to fire the entire US Border Patrol and use the … Continue reading U.S. Border Patrol Works for Mexico
United 93
The movie was haunting. By the end of the movie you were on the edge of your seat, sickened because you already know what is going to happen. The director did a terrific job of presenting it as a factual movie, without any director's opinion, in a "this is what happened, this is what they … Continue reading United 93
Hollywood Patriot
While I may tend to go off on entertainers that bash America, I would rather highlight those that support America, not just for their patriotism but for their bravery in standing up to Hollywood leftists. I'll give kudos to Bruce Willis who's had enough of the bashing American soldiers take from Hollywood. From Michelle Malkin: … Continue reading Hollywood Patriot
The Great Lion Prediction
Bitter Sanity has some insightful predictions about lionizing Saddam Hussein. I'd like to think this is fantasy, but I'm pretty sure it's accurate: A few predictions I've been thinking that it's only a matter of time before mainstream thought in this country begins the process of lionizing Saddam Hussein. With his trial beginning, the tone … Continue reading The Great Lion Prediction
Iraq Withdrawal Vote Fails 403-3
That had to be the funniest thing I've ever seen our circus in Washington do. Democrats call for a pullout from Iraq, Republicans say, "We can vote on that" and Democrats say, "It's a trick!" and vote against it. Nobody wants troops in Iraq any longer than necessary. Any attempt to schedule a withdrawal though, … Continue reading Iraq Withdrawal Vote Fails 403-3
Democrats Still Stunned
The Democrats have that "deer in the headlights" look. The Whitehouse has started publishing "corrections" to the Washington Post and New York Times when they say Bush led us like a lone cowboy into war. Then that awesome video of Clinton, Albright and others in their own words from 1998 saying that Saddam was a … Continue reading Democrats Still Stunned
Did Bush Lie?
Bush has finally been hitting back at the liberal revisionists that say Bush misled the U.S. into war with Iraq. Liberals say Bush lied... but did he? Who else said Saddam was a threat? Michelle Malkin points out that this answer is refreshingly easy - just Google it.
Middle Class Military
Charles Rangel, the looney left-wing Democrat, has criticized the military on several issues, one of them that the military is made up disproportionately of minorities while middle and upper class families reap the benefits without risk. Where he got that idea from, who knows. Certainly didn't come from the facts, though. Turns out most of … Continue reading Middle Class Military
Go Hogs!
I previously wrote how Fred Phelps gives Christians a bad name. I'm happy to report his Westboro "church" was defeated by Harley hog riders. Go hogs! EDMOND, Okla. -- About 200 motorcyclists rolled into Edmond today to support the family of a soldier killed in Iraq and to drown out protests from about a half-dozen … Continue reading Go Hogs!
Mid-Week Linkage
Linkfest for Wednesday: Michelle Malkin sheds light on how the anti-war bias of the liberal left newspapers is showing again. The NY Times uses selected quotes from a deceased serviceman's letter to his girlfriend to make you think he's regretting being in combat, while completely leaving out his pride in protecting America. Here's what the … Continue reading Mid-Week Linkage
Cause for Celebration
The Angry Left was disappointed this week as the US casualty toll was stuck at 1996 deaths. They seem eager to party once we reach the magical 2000 deaths. Man, they are a morbid bunch.
Casualties in Iraq
The mainstream media breathlessly informs us every chance they get that over 1900 soldier have died in Iraq. I wouldn't be surprised to read a story that said, "President Bush has declared parts of Louisiana and Mississippi a disaster area after Hurricane Katrina, despite the fact that over 1900 soldiers have died in Iraq." Here's … Continue reading Casualties in Iraq
Cindy Sheehan Changes a Mind
I didn't think it possible, but Cindy Sheehan actually changed a mind. Scott Randolph writes: I actually felt myself become a republican today. It was around 10am, when I read the latest update of the Cindy Sheehan saga in CNN.com. I then shot over to read some blogs about it, and perused the comments in … Continue reading Cindy Sheehan Changes a Mind
How the D-Day Invasion Would Be Reported By Today's Press
NORMANDY, FRANCE (June 6, 1944) Three hundred French civilians were killed and thousands more were wounded today in the first hours of America's invasion of continental Europe. Casualties were heaviest among women and children. Most of the French casualties were the result of artillery fire from American ships attempting to knock out German fortifications prior … Continue reading How the D-Day Invasion Would Be Reported By Today's Press
Cindy Sheehan
I suppose I ought to write about Cindy Sheehan just so the search engines will think I'm topical. I can't figure out why she's still on the news. She met with Bush in June of 2004 and said at the time that she thanked Bush for being such a kind man. A year later she's … Continue reading Cindy Sheehan
Terrorists Still Hate Us
Even though the title of this article says, "Muslim world rejecting violence, says poll," that's not the conclusion I get from reading the results. The survey found that in Turkey, Morocco and Indonesia 15% or fewer said that suicide bombings and other acts of violence against civilian targets in defence of Islam could be justified; … Continue reading Terrorists Still Hate Us
Al Qaeda Attacks
A flash presentation of all the attacks by Al Qaeda on westerners since they declared war. The facts presented speak for themselves. There have been 30 major mass casualty attacks directed against the United States, Britain, France, Spain, Pakistan, Kenya, Tanzania, India, Iraq, Morocco, Yemen, Tunisia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and North Osetia. 14 of … Continue reading Al Qaeda Attacks
What Would Kerry Do?
Seeing as how the Democrats are currently hoping the Iraq War fails: For a while last week, the Democrats were doing better at framing the issues. The poll numbers showed that Bush's approval rating was down, that around 60% of the voters had turned against the Iraq War, that support for Bush on his handling … Continue reading What Would Kerry Do?
Kofi Annan Gets Tough
Kofi Annan wants to make the following changes at the United Nations: UNITED NATIONS, March 19 -- Secretary General Kofi Annan on Monday will propose establishing new rules for the use of military force, adopting a tough anti-terrorism treaty that would punish suicide bombers, and overhauling the United Nation's discredited human rights commission, according to … Continue reading Kofi Annan Gets Tough
Freedom is Approaching Lebanon
The Lebanese people can taste freedom. The days of Syrian occupation may be nearing an end. After the assasination of Prime Minster Rafik al-Hariri, thousands of Lebanese have taken to the streets in defiance of the Syrian curfew. Today, the Syrian-backed Lebanese government resigned en-masse. You've got to know the Lebanese people are watching the … Continue reading Freedom is Approaching Lebanon
Liberal Columnist Asks: What if Bush was Right All Along?
Columnist Mark Brown isn't entirely convinced. But at least he's asking the right questions: Maybe you're like me and have opposed the Iraq war since before the shooting started -- not to the point of joining any peace protests, but at least letting people know where you stood. [...] But after watching Sunday's election in … Continue reading Liberal Columnist Asks: What if Bush was Right All Along?
Dear Concerned Citizen
The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, D.C. 20016 Dear Concerned Citizen: Thank you for your recent letter roundly criticizing our treatment of the Taliban and Al Qaeda detainees currently being held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Our administration takes these matters seriously, and your opinion was heard loud and clear here in Washington. You'll be … Continue reading Dear Concerned Citizen
Where is the Tsunami Aid Going?
Take a good look at this picture. Feel free to click it for a larger image. This was taken in Galle, Sri Lanka. Now, Sri Lanka is primarily Buddhist, but many of the countries hardest hit by the tsunami are Muslim. And notice that the bystander watching, left of center, is wearing an Osama Bin … Continue reading Where is the Tsunami Aid Going?

New Al Qaeda Terror Tape
The terrorists still want us dead. U.S. Intelligence Officials tell Drudge: The CIA and FBI late Wednesday authenticated a disturbing new al Qaeda videotape which warns the next terror attack will dwarf 9/11. "The streets will run with blood," and "America will mourn in silence" because they will be unable to count the number of … Continue reading New Al Qaeda Terror Tape

Strong and Compelling Answers
Kerry has been saying lately, "I have been consistent all along on Iraq. I would have done things differently." I'll tell you this - I follow politics daily, and I have no idea what Kerry's plan is. He says he's going to be tough on terror, he wouldn't go into Iraq, Saddam had to be … Continue reading Strong and Compelling Answers
"I Got a Passport!'
When Iraqis are excited about their freedom, it makes me excited. 🙂 From Iraq the Model: I should’ve written about this some days ago but I had to spend a week in Basra...Anyway, I feel it’s still worth writing about (at least from my point of view): last week, I crossed the borders for the … Continue reading "I Got a Passport!'
Not Understanding the Threat
Another sign John Kerry doesn't understand the war on terror. He thinks of it as a "nuisance." In Washington, Republican Party chief Ed Gillespie criticized Kerry for saying in an interview in The New York Times Magazine that, "We have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of … Continue reading Not Understanding the Threat
Dennis Miller and George Bush
Out of context for me; apologies for the profanity. But I thought it succinct and apropos. Via Michelle Malkin: Unadulterated Dennis Miller on Jay Leno just minutes ago: That's why I like Bush. He doesn't over-think it. He wakes up every morning, jumps out of bed, lands on his two feet, scratches his balls, and … Continue reading Dennis Miller and George Bush
See BS Snooze: Bogus Draft Story
CBS tries to float another bogus story Tuesday night, this time about a woman who fears her son is going to be drafted, just days after John Kerry says that it is "possible" George Bush will institute a draft. Dan Rather implied that the woman was just an average voter who normally votes for Bush … Continue reading See BS Snooze: Bogus Draft Story
Kerry, the French, and the Germans
John Kerry said that he would build a coalition to help out in Iraq. Since Bush has already done that(with the exception of France, Germany, and Russia), Kerry must have some sort of sooper seckret plan to get these countries to help. French and German government officials say they will not significantly increase military assistance … Continue reading Kerry, the French, and the Germans
Never Forget. Never Again.

Unbalanced Terrorists… with Subtitles
The situation remains dangerous in Iraq... especially when something as innocent as.... subtitles.... can drive them bonkers. 😛 From a tip from Just a Girl comes this very funny movie. 😛
Kerry Disses French, Declares War on Iraq
"We know we can't count on the French. We know we can't count on the Russians. We know that Iraq is a danger to the United States, and we reserve the right to take pre-emptive action whenever we feel it's in our national interest." John Kerry, Crossfire, 1997 Dang. I think Kerry is a Bush … Continue reading Kerry Disses French, Declares War on Iraq
Kerry says Iraq and US Working Well Together
Well, actually what John Kerry said was that interim Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi is helping President Bush put a "best face" on Iraq. Same thing. 😛 Kerry basically complained about a lot; reading over the speech snapshots, I concluded Kerry is a) mad that George Bush is optimistic, and b) Optimism is a mistake, … Continue reading Kerry says Iraq and US Working Well Together
Kerry is Proposing a Draft?
According to an Associated Press story, John Kerry says that a "military draft could be reinstated if voters re-elect President Bush." Then he immediately flip flops and says Kerry would not bring back the draft. I suppose he's trying to do that fear-monger thing, making people think George Bush would reinstate the draft, but George … Continue reading Kerry is Proposing a Draft?
What's Kerry's Position?
I've read this a couple of times. Listen to this and tell me what you think John Kerry's position on Iraq is: IMUS: "Do you think there are any circumstances we should have gone to war in Iraq, any?" KERRY: "Not under the current circumstances, no. There are none that I see. I voted based … Continue reading What's Kerry's Position?
Looking for an Honest Candidate
One of the cries from the left is that George Bush lied about Weapons of Mass Destruction, then took us into war with Iraq. That's the foundation of the "Anybody But Bush" movement. Michael Moore's movie is based on this premise that Bush lied. I find it funny that these are the same people who … Continue reading Looking for an Honest Candidate
So, John, How Do You Feel About the War?
This just in: John Kerry is pro-war again. Even if he knew there were no WMD's. GRAND CANYON, Ariz. (Reuters) - Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry said on Monday he would have voted for the congressional resolution authorizing force against Iraq even if he had known then no weapons of mass destruction would be found. … Continue reading So, John, How Do You Feel About the War?
Terror in the Skies, Again?
Forget that last post on tuition increases. It pales next to comparison. This eyewitness perspective at WomensWallStreet is what we should be concerned about. Read it. From the terrorists latest dry-run attempts at building bombs in-flight to lawsuits the airlines have lost when they've questioned suspicious Muslim men traveling together and NPR complaining that Arab … Continue reading Terror in the Skies, Again?
Fifty-Nine Deceits
"Fifty-nine Deceits in Fahrenheit 911" is written by Ralph Nader supporter Dave Kopel. Kopel offers a thorough rebuttal of the points Michael Moore tries to make in his movie. I think it's worthy to note that liberals that support Kerry "because of all the Bush lies" have no qualms whatsoever about supporting Moore's movie. If … Continue reading Fifty-Nine Deceits
Proud to Be Irresponsible
Right Thinking Girl says last night on Hannity & Holmes that Kerry said he was "proud" he had voted against the $87 billion to protect and equip our troops. Last September, though, he said it was "irresponsible" to vote against it. The only conclusion I can come from those two quotes is that he's proud … Continue reading Proud to Be Irresponsible
I Can't Come to the Terrorist Briefing, Please Leave a Message at the Beep
On Larry King last night, King asked John Kerry about Homeland Security's Tom Ridge warning about a possible terrorist attack. KING: News of the day, Tom Ridge warned today about al Qaeda plans of a large-scale attack on the United States. Didn't increase the -- you see any politics in this? What's your reaction? KERRY: … Continue reading I Can't Come to the Terrorist Briefing, Please Leave a Message at the Beep
Vote Democrat
Dear Voters: Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak my mind. I lost my job this past year. When Clinton was president, I worked in a prosperous enterprise. But in the last year, we had to close our operations. Far worse, I lost two of my sons in Bush's evil war in Iraq. … Continue reading Vote Democrat
Saddam and the Anti-Bush Crowd
My first thought when I saw this picture was, "Gadzooks, Dennis Miller looks terrible." It struck me as I read Saddam's defiance:"This is all theater. The real criminal is Bush," Saddam later said, turning on President Bush (news - web sites), whose forces invaded Iraq and overthrew him 15 months ago. "The real criminal is … Continue reading Saddam and the Anti-Bush Crowd
"I am Saddam Hussein, President of Iraq"
Wed Jun 30, 1:56 PM ET BAGHDAD (AFP) - "I am Saddam Hussein al-Majid, president of the Republic of Iraq," the jailed dictator said haughtily as he greeted the head of an Iraqi tribunal, who talked him through his upcoming hearing. I guess he hasn't read the papers in a while.
Feel Safer?
You should:The Sept. 11 Commission has found that the Bush administration's war on terror has severely impaired al Qaida's ability to organize another spectacular attack against the U.S. homeland by capturing or killing the deadly terror group's key leaders, drying up their financial resources and severely limiting their ability to "strategize, plan attacks, and dispatch … Continue reading Feel Safer?

Iraq is Sovereign Again
The Iraqi hand-over came 2 days early.

President Bush has already sent a letter to the new Iraqi government asking to restore diplomatic ties. Security concerns were a consideration … Continue reading Iraq is Sovereign Again
New York Times Owes Bush an Apology
First, the New York Times calls for Bush to apologize to the American people for lying - that the 9/11 commission has debunked the President's assertion that there was a connection between Saddam Hussein and 9/11. Nevertheless, the Bush administration convinced a substantial majority of Americans before the war that Saddam Hussein was somehow linked … Continue reading New York Times Owes Bush an Apology
Clinton Supports War on Iraq
"I have repeatedly defended President Bush against the left on Iraq, even though I think he should have waited until the U.N. inspections were over," Clinton said in a Time magazine interview that will hit newsstands Monday, a day before the publication of his book "My Life." Clinton, who was interviewed Thursday, said he did … Continue reading Clinton Supports War on Iraq
