It appears that the Democrats nominated the wrong war hero to run for president in 2004. Bob Kerrey would've given them the credibility on national security they so desperately need today. The critics who bother me the most are those who ordinarily would not be on the side of supporting dictatorships, who are arguing today […]
This may just be a trial balloon to see exactly how much explosive power the nutroots on the left can muster, but it appears Democrats are finally going to send an Iraq war supplemental bill to President Bush without timelines. In grudging concessions to President Bush, Democrats intend to draft an Iraq war-funding bill without […]
Are you ever watching a serious television news show and you get a sudden flashback to a comedic movie when a certain phrase is said? I just experienced that watching Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Sandinistas) on NBC's "Meet the Press" as he advocated cutting and running from Iraq. Dodd: I think the world is waiting for […]
Maj. Douglas Zembiec, the subject of this moving and inspiring Los Angeles Times Magazine feature in 2004 was killed last week in Iraq. He is survived by his wife, Pam, and 1-year-old daughter, Fallyn. Pray for Maj. Zembiec's family and honor his memory by reading the profile. "From day one, I've told [my troops] that […]
Democrats insist that they want to fight al Qaeda terrorists ... in Afghanistan. Any suggestion that there might possibly be any al Qaeda types in Iraq is met with scorn and derision.

Correction appended. Today is the communists' favorite holiday, so it should come as no surprise that pinkos make their way out of the woodwork today. For the second year in a row, supporters of open-borders are rallying across the United States. It would seem like these rallies would be a target-rich environment for Immigration and […]
Last week, Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid said the war is lost. It's taken me a while to cool down from wanting to kick a certain senior senator from the state of Nevada where the sun don't shine. While Reid's white-flag-of-surrender moment wasn't altogether unsurprising, what that statement prompted him to do a few days […]
On Tuesday, President Bush held a press conference in which he took the Democrat Congress to task for its failure to pass a supplemental war funding bill without unconstitutional infringements on the commander-in-chief's power or political pork. Democrats, obviously, were unimpressed and urged Bush to sign the still unreconciled House-Senate bill anyway. This political kabuki […]
McQ over at QandO rips into the claims that the April 15 deadline on passing a supplemental appropriations bill for the Iraq war isn't really a deadline at all. [In other words], what the Democrats are saying is let the wounded and military dependents suffer the consequences of the monetary shortage. Let problems like Walter […]
