Team Obama is already talking about their new approach to Afghanistan.
Obama got a great deal of campaign mileage out of his belief that the US ‘took its eye off the ball’ by fighting in Iraq instead of the `real war’ in Afghanistan, even though bin-Laden himself declared Iraq was al-Qaeda’s central front on their war [...]

MSM Wouldn’t Want Good News To Blunt Election Message
The MSM didn’t give this story any prominence (natch), but it’s some story:
U.S. deaths in Iraq fell in October to their lowest monthly level of the war, matching the record low of 13 fatalities suffered in July. Iraqi deaths fell to their lowest monthly levels of the [...]

Barack Obama Tries To Persuade Iraqi Leaders To Delay Draw-Down Until After Election

A violation of allegiance to one’s sovereign or to one’s state.

No One On the Left Had Faith That The Surge Would Succeed, Instead Betting On and In Some Cases Hoping For Failure
Sept. 4 (Bloomberg) — Barack Obama said the surge of American forces in Iraq has “succeeded beyond our wildest dreams,” though Iraqis still haven’t done enough to take responsibility for their country.

Before today, I hadn’t heard of Frank Turek. After today, I’m going to keep an eye out for his articles. He’s written a really splendid article explaining how deeply, terribly wrong Obama’s every position is regarding Iraq. Frankly, for those who are well-informed, there’s nothing in this article you haven’t seen before. I’m just impressed [...]

Recently HBO has been pimping their troop bashing farce called Generation Kill. You can see the trailer here.
Knowing what we now know about the Iraq war, that it is not Vietnam, that we are not taking the country’s oil despite the billions spent executing the war, and despite the biggest lie of all concerning the [...]

I’m sorry to say that, for me, “the troops” have always been somewhat abstract, not because I don’t respect and admire them, but because I really don’t know any troops. Living in my Marin bubble, where the military is anathema to the average person, you simply don’t have a large number of people entering [...]

There is an absolutely staggering editorial in today’s Washington Post — it admits that, John Rockefeller’s “official” indictment to the contrary, Bush did not lie. If anything, Rockefeller, in his official Senate Intelligence Committee report is lying by reaching conclusions at odds with his own evidence:
Search the Internet for “Bush Lied” products, and you will [...]

Frederick Kagan has a fascinating comparison of the specific Iraq policy plans McCain and Obama advanced before the Surge. McCain actually envisioned a surge-like event, and described all the positive benefits that would flow from it — and his predictions proved to be completely accurate. Obama, of course, demanded retreat and defeat. Given the success [...]
