SPC Matthew T. Morris, R.I.P.

Morris, twenty-three, of Cedar Park, northwest of Austin, was a driver for a team of military advisors embedded with the Iraqi army.

Gen. Petraeus reports

Whatever Nancy Pelosi intended to stop the general from saying, it doesn’t seem to have worked. He poked Iran in the eye several times. Will we do anything more? Remains to be seen, I suppose. It all certainly sounds as complicated as Viet Nam ever was, though, obviously, with more potential immediate impact on our daily lives, and not nearly as out-of-control. Hope and change, it seems, are already in progress–without, of course, Barry and his dictator-loving advisors and their back-to-the-Saddam-era intentions.

Outside The Wire

I got mine. Help this pro-troops documentary look at the Army and Marine Corps in the Iraq campaign beat the anti-war movie sales. Considering how the anti-war movies bombed, so to speak, that shouldn’t be too hard.

Two videos, one from Barack Hussein Obama and one from John McCain, say it all for me. Your vote.

Mr. Bumble: The law is a ass

One man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist, as the famous relativist’s line goes.

Michael Totten explains.

Stake through their hearts

The Iraqi endgame is in sight. Insightful, non-biased reporting from freelance correspondent Michael Yon:

"If there is an increase in casualties here as we go into the summer of 2008, it is because our people and the Iraqi forces are closing in. We have seen just how deadly al Qaeda can be. This enemy is desperate. They know they are losing."
