Report on Sept. 6th Syrian Airstrike to Show Saddam Transferred WMDs to Syria

It will be interesting to see how the libs spin this one. Probably something like we caused him to transfer the WMD’s because of our imminent attack!

One of the World’s Most Wanted Terrorists is Killed in Blast

I opened up CNN.com this morning to see that they were covering the death of Imad Mughniyeh. CNN’s original story only indicated that Mughniyeh was wanted by the FBI for his role in the 1985 hijacking of TWA 847 that led to the death of U.S. Navy diver Robert Dean Stethem. That original story left [...]

Syria OK with Turkey Trot to War

Turkey is lining up for an attack into Iraq against Kurds with whom they have been having trouble.

If she’s going to play at peacemaking, she had better get the message accurate.

Everything Old is New Again

I truly cannot tell if Pelosi is stupid, credulous, vicious, rendered incapable of thought by Bush Derangement Syndrome, or all of the above.

Middle East News

The Middle East is booming with news this morning. Think of a big, bubbling cauldron with big chunks of veggies and meat boiling to the surface, rolling around in the hot broth, only to sink to the bottom while some other choice cuts rise to the top. Today we have more evidence of Syria building [...]
