Why we need to win in Iraq

Baby Barry and Mac apparently can’t agree on the formats for more than a few "debates," as contrived as the "debates" have been in the past and likely will continue to be. Baby Barry’s got the money and, so far, the polls and so he has no reason to give Mac anything. Can’t blame him for that. As for Mac, well, some of the Seablogger’s pessimism is starting to rub off on me. Mac the moderate better get off it and start explaining why he champions the Iraq campaign and why the rest of us better suck it up, too. There are good arguments, but he needs to make them and not try to duck the whole thing. Starting here, where even the Dem thinktankers agree, would be a good idea.

Nearing the finish line in Iraq

Thanks to Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki, and the ISF, Al Q and the Shiite militias are on the run, and even the MSM is noticing.

Barry shys away from Iraq

You can’t blame him. He might be forced to change his pullout plans. His base wouldn’t like that a bit.

Iraq support rises

Barry’s crowd has some retrenching to do. They’ve long been throwing around the sixty-percent-oppose-the-Iraq-campaign poll figure as a justification for their cut-and-run views. But some recent polling shows a sharp rise to fifty-three percent saying the U.S. will succeed in reaching its goals in Iraq. Even CBS admits this could "alter the dynamics of races up and down the ballot." I’ve never been a fan of polling, which is hampered as never before by changes in the way Americans use their phones. The polls were predicting Kerry would beat Bush right up until election day 2004. But if you live by the polls, Dems, you gotta die by them, too.

Moore the bore

Fatso Michael Moore, the unethical cretin who ripped off a classic science fiction novel for the title of his fictional political screed on President Bush, is ripping off Michael Yon’s classic Iraq photo for Moore’s latest pathetic whatever. Yon’s lawyer is on the case. Go get ’em!

Maybe Mahmoud ain’t so mad

Afterall, he’s getting away with murder in Iraq, and the Bush administration and Congress ain’t doing nothin’, while Barry talks about a sit-down to understand Mahmoud’s pain.

UPDATE: So, when Bush does the only thing he ever does about this matter, i.e. talk, he manages to enrage Barry, Hilarity, Nancy, etc. For why? Because they won’t do anything, either, and don’t like to be reminded. Such unanimity.

Author Stephen King: Moron

The really amazing thing about King’s latest, unthinking putdown of the troops–"…if you can read, you can walk into a job later on. If you don’t, then you’ve got, the Army, Iraq…"–isn’t that he is repeating another famous fool, John Kerry. It’s that he’s so dumb that he imagines you can a) get in the Army without being able to read, and b) that you could do the job the Army wants without being able to read. I’ve enjoyed some of King’s books. But none of them taught me anything important. It really does surprise me, however, that he could write any of them while being such a moron.

UPDATE: Air Force veteran takes him on, too. And Doug Ross @ Journal, too: "The Dead Zone known as Stephen King’s brain."
