The Blood Boiling Link of the Year
Here's the blood boiling link of the year ( That is saying a lot) respected Pentagon correspondant Rowan Scarborogh's new book about the CIA's treachery in overtly sabotaging our war effort. The links to the book exerpts are worth reading.
This reminds me of my "Intelligent Observations" list which includes the intelligent observation that only liberals aspire to work for the government. Anyone else wants to do well in the private sector, but Liberals crave being the Cardinals and Arch Bishops of the Government at any level.

Opening passage:
"God looks after children, drunkards, and the United States of America" - Otto von Bismarck
It's now quite clear how the results of the surge will be dealt with by domestic opponents of the Iraq war.
They're going to be ignored.

{Anyone who signs up / re-ups since 9-11 knew what they were getting into that is why they are to be roundly commended. If this is the future of our country then we will e in good hands. Think about it, these kids are bombarded constantly by every form of media and academia with negative messages and publicity and they sign up anyway. }

Look who's holding hostages again..
The indespensible Mark Steyn with reality right between the eyes
Opening passage:
How do you feel about the American hostages in Iran?
No, not the guys back in the Seventies, the ones being held right now.
What? You haven't heard about them?
Odd that, isn't it? But they're there. For example, for two months now, Haleh Esfandiari has been detained in Evin prison in Tehran. Esfandiari is a U.S. citizen and had traveled to Iran to visit her sick mother. She is the director of the Middle East program at the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars, which is the kind of gig that would impress your fellow guests at a Washington dinner party. Unfortunately, the mullahs say it's an obvious cover for a Bush spy.

Diane Sawyer's brush with reality
Thursday's edition of Good Morning America featured a Diane Sawyer anecdote that revealed the low opinion Americans have of journalists. After wrapping up a 7:30am segment on people who avoid jury duty, the ABC co-host laughingly recounted the "hurtful" experience she had in a courtroom: "You know, I wanted to sit on a jury once and I was taken off the jury. And the judge said to me, 'Can, you know, can you tell the truth and be fair?' And I said, 'That's what journalists do.' And everybody in the courtroom laughed. It was the most hurtful moment I think I've ever had."

Al-Qaeda Barbarism in Iraq Ignored
Great Rush monologue asking (and answering) why Al-Qaeda barbarism in Iraq Ignored

Check out Victory Caucus and the Al Qaeda assistance act of 2007
Great resource for Patriots right now- http://www.victorycaucus.com/
Click for story about HR 2956 which wants to begin withdrawal in four months (AKA: the Al Qaeda assistance act of 2007)
HR 2956 is being introduced "To require the Secretary of Defense to commence the reduction of the number of United States Armed Forces in Iraq to a limited presence by April 1, 2008" --- in other words, to mandate a cut-and-run strategy.
Worse than the April 1 deadline, the bill requires that "The Secretary of Defense shall commence the reduction of the number of Armed Forces in Iraq beginning not later than 120 days after the date of the enactment of this Act." So less than five months after the Surge has truly been implemented, we'll be giving up -- regardless of the facts on the ground.

Bin Laden search frustrates officials
{ What phenomenal insight from the " CIA Director for Intelligence" John Kringen "his agency thinks bin Laden is alive and "probably in the tribal areas of Pakistan." Thank goodness they are on top of it- I feel better. I realize there is immense calculus here with Pakistan having nukes and thinking Musharraff is better than the alternative, but I have to think sending in teams to hunt/kill these maniacs would win us more respect/fear from them then playing this State Dept balance of power geo-political academic exercises - they don't fear us and that emboldens them. There is no price to pay for shielding Bin Laden I know there are some Wild Bill Donovans still out there, but obviously not in decision making }
