If Obama or McCain Suffer from Deadly Diarrhea

And I mean literally deadly diarrhea…
… then on one hand, we could end up with an old dude who’s heavily experienced, and one the other hand, we could end up with a hardly experienced woman from Alaska.
Given the ages of Obama and McCain, there’s a higher probability we could end up with the Alaskan […]

Iraq Wants US to Leave?

An interesting development.
BAGHDAD — Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki raised the possibility that his country won’t sign a status of forces agreement with the United States and will ask U.S. troops to go home when their U.N. mandate to be in Iraq expires at the end of the year.
… Maliki acknowledged that talks with […]

Terrorist Attacks Dropping?

At first, I was skeptical when I came across this.
“Even if the Iraq ‘terrorism’ data are included, there has still been a substantial decline in the global terrorism toll,” said the 2007 Human Security Brief, an annual report funded by the governments of Canada, Norway, Switzerland, Sweden and Britain.
Pay attention to the countries in bold. […]

More Pictures By Michael Yon

Check them out here. I love the commentary he provides:
LTC Michael told me more than once that the Muslims reached out to him to protect the Christians from al Qaeda. Real Muslims here are quick to say that al Qaeda members are not true Muslims.

Iraq: When Good News Is Bad News

Discovered via Iraq.DailyVoices.com:
Long live Iraq’s true freedom fighters!!
UPDATE:
I wrote this six months ago in a post that pissed off some people:
If, I repeat if, order and security is back and if Iraqis start seeing peace, prosperity and justice in the coming years, then I believe Bush will go down in history as a liberator. If […]

Iraq.DailyVoices.com and More Launched!

Remember my previous post on the SocialRank powered Sudan’s DailyVoices?
With more blogs on Sudan to read, I am having a harder time finding the hot posts of the day. It’s annoying going through each blog trying to find an interesting story or discussion.
… Well, SocialRank is a super cool mathematical algorithm which monitors the activity […]

Congratulations to All Iraqis for Winning the Asia Cup!

It’s a good day for Iraqis and I am very happy for them. It’s nice to see them celebrating on the streets of Baghdad and feeling some rare joy.
Sunday’s dramatic win capped a three-week campaign by Iraqi team, nicknamed “The Lions of the Two Rivers.” Iraqis were captivated and spoke of hope, even as years […]

The Bases Are Loaded

There won’t be a complete withdrawal.

Sudan Spies For US In Iraq: Indeed We Are A Strong Partner In the War on Terror!

You know what? Make that super strong partner.
WASHINGTON — Sudan has secretly worked with the CIA to spy on the insurgency in Iraq, an example of how the U.S. has continued to cooperate with the Sudanese regime even while condemning its suspected role in the killing of tens of thousands of civilians in Darfur.
Yaaaay to […]

Anti-War Mom Cindy Sheehan Gives Up Her Protest

An Argument For Staying In Iraq

Lately I’ve been reading Opinion Journal more frequently and yesterday I stumbled upon this excellent piece. Not Your Mama, this is for you as promised :
There is a serious and widening disconnect between the timetables that commanders are using to guide their actions in Iraq and those being demanded by politicians in Washington.
…Inevitably, since […]

And Bush Smacks It With A Veto

The inevitable happened. Me support.
First, the bill would mandate a rigid and artificial deadline for American troops to begin withdrawing from Iraq. That withdrawal could start as early as July 1, and it would have to start no later than Oct. 1, regardless of the situation on the ground.
It makes no sense to tell the […]

America Did Liberate Iraq

Watching Iraq’s news on TV or reading about it nowadays is an unpleasant experience. It’s not unpleasant because of the pain. It’s unpleasant because I hardly feel any pain watching the death and carnage nowadays. I’ve become emotionally numb. Meanwhile most of those around me who aren’t so emotionally apathetic feel rage… a strong burning […]
