Iraq was stockpiling uranium after all

New blogger comments on the story at Hope is Not a Foreign Policy. Bottom line: it’s tough being a war time president in a democracy but history has generally vindicated ours and it sure looks like Bush will be vindicated as well.

Feith lays out the case for the Iraq war

As the years go by and this presidency begins to end, the factors that led us into war are beginning to surface. In today’s WSJ, former Under Secretary of Defense Douglas Feith, provides us with five factors as to why we are fighting in Iraq today.

General Clark’s Short Memory

My, how four years can slip by and change one’s perspective on the world and the needed qualifications to be Commander-in-Chief. General Wesley Clark (pictured here with another well-known war hero), every leftist’s favorite military figure, is either a willing dupe of the Obama campaign or he is willfully forgetful of his own grandiose […]

Thelma Drake: GI Bill without a tax increase

Congresswoman Thelma Drake again showed how important conservative representation is in Washington. The easy path? Approve any GI bill that comes along. The right path? Oppose Democrat tax increases. Drake and the Republicans approved a new GI bill after the Democrat tax increase was stripped out.
Drake -”I am happy that […]

Reagan “Let’s leave it in”

It was originally written as “Herr Gorbachev, take down this wall” and re-written as “Herr Gorbachev, machen Sie dieses Tor auf.” Yep, Reagan’s famous “Tear down this wall” speech, given 21 years ago today at the Berlin Wall, almost had Reagan speaking in German instead.
Colin Powell (then with the NSC) wanted the line eliminated […]

D-Day

Doubtful that anyone captured the bravery and sacrifice of June 6, 1944 than Ronald Reagan did in this speech 40 years later (with the possible exception of Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan).
Reagan captured the meaning and emotion of “boys of Pointe du Hoc.”
You all knew that some things are worth dying for. One’s country is worth […]

Virginia’s fallen memorialized at the Capitol

Yesterday, Virginia leaders and dignitaries paid respect to Virginia citizens who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of freedom during the Global War on Terror. 29 more names were added to the wall which now bears the names and images of 170 servicemembers who gave all for us.

Webb raises taxes

I’ve been reading about Sen. Jim Webb’s GI Bill for the last few weeks and honestly was leaning to supporting it. Ronald Reagan extended the GI Bill in ‘87 That’s what I get for relying on the liberal media, who only after the vote in the House decided to print this little tidbit:

See, Democrats can get it right on occasion

Keep the American people in the dark about military operations — especially if the Israeli’s ask us. Bomb Syrian nuclear facilities — especially if it is the Israeli’s who do so, after all, it is “their neighborhood.” And, “as to WMD in Iraq, everyone knows Saddam had them and used them, the only […]
