Key Enemy In Iraq Calls Temporary Halt To Military Operations.
The radical Shiite cleric Moktada al-Sadr said Wednesday that he was suspending for six months his Mahdi Army militia’s operations, including attacks on American troops. He's taking a pounding over there and needs a timeout!
A Surprising Ally In France.
The recent election of conservative Nicolas Sarkozy in France could have far-reaching ramifications. Sarkozy is already stepping up the tough talk on the War on Terror and dealing with Iran:
On Afghanistan, he told the assembled diplomats, "the duty of the Atlantic Alliance as well as that of France," is to "increase efforts." He then announced he would be sending additional trainers to assist the Afghan Army. On Israel, he said he "would never budge" on its security. He warned about Russia, which "imposes its return on the world scene by playing its assets with a certain brutality," and he cautioned against China, which pursues "its insatiable search for raw materials as a strategy of control, particularly in Africa."
Nicolas Sarkozy made headlines this week by telling his diplomatic corps that "an Iran with nuclear weapons is for me unacceptable."If Sarkozy keeps this up, I may have to take back all the mean things I've said about France! I'd be happy to do it.
Military Fatalities Are Lowest In Decades.
The last few years have seen some of the lowest active duty military deaths since 1980. Also, the numbers of minority deaths fall pretty much in line with the percentage of the general population of each minority. Two popular myths of the MSM, straight out the window.
Most Americans Don't Believe The War Is Lost.
54%, to be precise, according to Zogby. Not surprisingly, 66% of Democrats say it's over, while only 9% of Republicans say that. Tell me again - which party is obsessed with defeat?
With the recent legitimate political progress, things are looking up for America...and down for Democrats.
There's my two cents.
