Dubya's end
DUBYA'S END
By JOHN PODHORETZ
June 29, 2007 -- PRESIDENT Bush's disastrous second term has not been without its moments. Unfortunately for him, these moments have come primarily when members of his own party have risen up against him to defy his wishes.
Listen to what the armed forces have to say about Iraq.
Soldiers’ Voices Listen to what the armed forces have to say about Iraq.
Money quote:
"The troops’ number-one frustration has consistently been the media reporting. The way the press mishandled Abu Ghraib and Guantánamo had a tremendous negative effect on us. It inflamed the Iraqis at a time when we were making great progress in their support and willingness to help.”——Major Eric Egland, U.S. Air Force

Terrorists targeting the West populate a virulent strain of Islam. Skirting that unfortunate truth — as the new prime minister seems apt to do — will only prolong the battle and embolden the enemy.

Congress to Terrorists: "Don't lose heart, we'll save you!"
THE 'QUIT IRAQ' CAUCUS: By RALPH PETERS
July 11, 2007 -- EVEN as our troops make serious progress against al-Qaeda-in-Iraq and other extremists, Congress - including Republican members - is sending the terrorists a message: "Don't lose heart, we'll save you!"

The Senate: chamber of shame
Key Passage:
"But the debate today in Washington is about none of these strategic concerns. It is exclusively about Washington's political timetable and when the president will bend to such political necessity. For self-admitted politics — rather than national security — to be driving decision making in wartime Washington is not only an unpatriotic disgrace — it is a national menace. "

An unspeakable tragedy
The tragic consequences of the unhinged left. A better man killed for serving his country. What has become of these people. Words don't do justice

Meet the Artic Monkeys
{I don’t know what they sound like, but based on their comments alone I am a fan }

Rock group Arctic Monkeys have become the latest music industry stars to question whether the performers taking part in Live Earth on Saturday are suitable climate change activists. "It's a bit patronising for us 21 year olds to try to start to change the world," said Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders, explaining why the group is not on the bill at any of Al Gore's charity concerts.
"Especially when we're using enough power for 10 houses just for (stage) lighting. It'd be a bit hypocritical," he told AFP in an interview before a concert in Paris.
Large parts of the band's hometown of Sheffield were flooded at the end of last month after a deluge of mid-summer rain that some blamed on global warming. Two people were killed.
But the band wonder why anyone would be interested in the opinion of rock stars on a complex scientific issue like climate change.
"Someone asked us to give a quote about what was happening in Sheffield and it's like 'who cares what we think about what's happening'?" added Helders.
"There's more important people who can have an opinion. Why does it make us have an opinion because we're in a band?"

Latest Michael Yon post
If you have never heard of Michael Yon, you owe it to yourself to read his dispatches from Iraq. This guy is a one-man show living with our guys in Iraq and reporting what is happening warts and all. Here is his latest.

I first heard of Michael Yon from a dispatch where he assisted Soldiers from 2-4 Cav in taking out the enemy by firing a weapon- something that could've had him booted out of the theater. He is not a "trained" journalist, he's former SF that started blogging and made his way to Iraq to cover the war out of his own funds.
