Last week the Web site The Memory Hole posted hundreds of photos of fallen soldiers in their coffins returning to Dover AFB. (Included in the photos were those of the fallen astronauts, mistakenly published by some newspapers.) Many newspapers ran the photos not because it was news that fallen soldiers were coming home, but because […]
Frank J. over at IMAO has an excellent post on the Iraqi insurgents. * The Iraqis violently fighting against the coalition are a minority, and thus should be given preference in hiring and college admissions. * Some people are against America because they actually liked rule under Saddam. Hey, if they liked torture and oppression, […]
One of the standard complaints from the loony left has been regarding America's practice of realpolitik over the years. The United States has periodically supported dictatorships based on the principle that a stable dictatorship is better than communism or a nation in chaos. President Bush is determined to create a democracy in Iraq. Others, including […]
Retired Marine Gen. Anthony Zinni is in "I told you so" mode. In an interview with the San Diego Union-Tribune yesterday, Zinni criticized the United States' performance in post-war Iraq.

The group that abducted the Japanese has threatened to burn three hostages alive if its demands go unmet, according to a video aired on Arabic-language news channel Al-Jazeera. Thus far, there's no denunciation attacks like […]
Rick Atkinson's Pulitzer Prize-winning "An Army at Dawn" set a pretty high standard for the Washington Post reporter. Those of us who were awaiting the second installment of his trilogy will have to wait a little longer, because the Iraq War broke out and he was sent to cover it. The story of the latest […]
Yeah, those bad private contractors are just evil, profiting off of war.
Still unapologetic, on Saturday the evil, left-wing hatemonger "Kos" announced that he had achieved victim status. The best response to Kos' disgusting diatribe can be found here.
