Well, looks as if the Dems have it all figured out. Maybe if we just eliminate the phrase, the problem will just go away.
The House Armed Services Committee is banishing the global war on terror from the 2008 defense budget.
This is not because the war has been won, lost or even called off, but because […]

With this latest snub from its European allies, it looks as if Britain will have to go its own, with only help from the US.

Well, what to say? It’s been a week since my last post and lest folks think I’ve deserted this realm, I suppose a word or two is in order. Both the Congress and the Senate have managed to make complete fools of themselves by doing their best impression of cowardice in full bloom. Fortunately, the […]

Please go to the following link and read all there is to read. Then listen to the embedded audio file.
There…did you read the background material and listen to the audio link? Good. I think that it’s real important that we remember those pieces as we think about the vitriol, lies, and nonsense Nancy […]

Blackfive brings us this sitrep from a Marine colonel serving in Afghanistan. Frankly, it doesn’t sound real good. I believe the “powers that be” would be wise to listen to him.
