THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER

Back in 2002 when American troops were dying in Afghanistan, GWB was criticized for golfing while the troops fought. Bush’s response? He gave up golf, saying: “I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf… I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity [...]

Michael Yon correctly lays blame for the latest Afghanistan photo scandal on the soldier(s) who took the snapshots and made sure the Los Angeles Times got hold of them. Hard to fault that logic. But Yon absolves the media in the fiasco, which is ridiculous. The LATimes didn’t have to use the photos. They knew [...]

The real “war on women” is not a Republican thing as the Obama Democrats pretend. As you can see, it is a Muslim thing. The latest development is in Afghanistan, also known as the backside of the moon.

Whoa, now there’s a concept. Not that Army Staff Sergeant Robert Bales is getting access to it, at least not in the biased news media, or from our frequently-lying Muslim “ally” Hamid Karzai, the president of Afcrapistan. I am impressed that Obozo is not piling on. Although it’s probably because he knows he’s about two [...]

Incredibly, more than three months after at least one American combat soldier died unnecessarily and two months after the issue was first raised on the Net, wounded American troops in Afghanistan still are waiting longer than necessary for Medevac helicopters to arrive. Because the Medevacs wear red crosses and, therefore, under Army policy cannot carry defensive [...]

The death of an American soldier due to our Medevac policy: “Specialist Chazray Clark was dying due to politics, and the Army and Air Force pilots are very angry about this.  Chazray’s is not the only such case…It is important to be absolutely clear–this is not about the Dustoff pilots and crews, who are incredibly [...]

Incredible report from Afghanistan correspondent Michael Yon that our Army Medevacs are delayed in getting to their patients (find it in the first four minutes of this Glenn Reynolds interview with Yon). Delayed, that is, because they have to wait for Apache gunship escorts. Not because the landing zones are especially hot but because the [...]

What’s changed since that awful morning? Well, nothing on the Islamic war against the West. It continues. Our all-volunteer military, while benefiting from a new generation of volunteers, remains stressed with two major campaigns and a host of smaller ones. For the first time, the National Guard and Reserves have become continuously- active parts of [...]

So far we only know that the White House and the Pentagon insist that OBL is dead. They got him. Obamalot fulfilled the promise Bush Jr. made in 2001. The American people, wanting it so badly, stood up and cheered. A bit prematurely. Now Obamalot won’t release the pictures. Too gory. Spiking the ball, etc. [...]

I really can’t see why American troops have to risk their lives “for the Libyan people.” Let the Libyan people get off their fat asses and get rid of their own dictator. Why should our guys die to save them? So the Democrats and the Hildabeast can look decisive, tough, etc.? She/they simply look like [...]
