Afghanistan: the real quagmire

Posted on February 13, 2009 | Comments Off on Afghanistan: the real quagmire

Given Barry’s many policy flipflops since his election, and his Code Pink, etc. base of support, it’s not hard to imagine him finding a rhetorical way out of Afghanistan–especially now that the campaign there is becoming harder than ever to win. For one thing, freelance correspondent Michael Yon says the administration’s proposed thirty thousand new troops won’t be nearly enough.

Mac: the surge is the key to Afghanistan

Posted on July 17, 2008 | Comments Off on Mac: the surge is the key to Afghanistan

It’s the way to win the Afghanistan campaign, McCain says, logically enough…

"…if I’m elected President, I will turn around the war in Afghanistan, just as we have turned around the war in Iraq, with a comprehensive strategy for victory."

…versus Baby Barry’s unserious preference to abandon Iraq in favor of hunting down (the quite probably already dead) Osama bin Forgotten.

Michael Yon on the way they do it at Bagram Air Force Base, when the C-17 arrives to take another warrior home. And this good Pajamas media piece on the truth about who serves and who doesn’t.

Iron Man or wimp?

Posted on May 6, 2008 | Comments Off on Iron Man or wimp?

Hollyweird either does it again: "[M]ust we be tricked into sitting through another America-as-root-of-all-evil message?" Or it doesn’t: "Iron Man is not a pacifist movie, and it bends over backwards to be pro-military and pro-government, even in the midst of speeches about how weapons are evil." It’s a battle of the reviews. You decide. Not me. I already hate the sticky floors, and Mr. B. has enough fantasy in his life as it is.

Very nice, indeed

Posted on May 4, 2008 | Comments Off on Very nice, indeed

President Bush is basically a nice guy, which he proved more than once when he was governor of Texas. Which, of course, is way too nice for the rude, undereducated, overmedicated slugs of the MSM. So it’s always a pleasure to see it when he cuts loose on a supercilious one with both barrels.

Good ole Prince Harry

Posted on March 1, 2008 | Comments Off on Good ole Prince Harry

The British royals are a bit of a joke, for the most part, but not this one. Michael Yon has more. Shame on Drudge for exposing Prince Harry’s patrolling in Afghanistan, which inevitably raised the ante on his life. Here’s hoping the 23-year-old royal finds a way to get back into the fight.
