Future Oil Wars

Increasingly, these world power rivals of the U.S., all united by oil will draw in other anti-U.S. states and create a dangerous axis of anti-American oil powers and states that hate the U.S. And as oil prices still hover near record levels, the amount of vast income generated will only help to fuel the purchase or building of new and more dangerous military hardware by these anti-American oil states.

Peace And Tranquility Still Elusive In Iraq

The American news media has certainly focused far less on Iraq news coverage since "the surge" has resulted in far less deaths of American service persons. Unfortunately viewing this war in a prism of how it impacts only the U.S.,...

Report Confirms Republican White House Lied About Iraq

Hopefully this report will move the nation one step closer to possible charges against the current administration for war crimes. I firmly believe that the only way to stop this horrendous abuse of power is to prosecute.

Obama Lies Again

It's beginning to look like Barack Obama, at times, just can't stop himself form lying.

British Troops Stop Withdrawal To Bolster Embattled Iraqi Government

For the $500 billion dollar cost of this war in Iraq, the U.S. really hasn't achieved very much so far. The weak central government only survives from day to day with strong U.S. support. That's the honest truth.

Obama Should Stick to Speeches and Not Issues

Barack Obama has openly changed his style of late, eschewing his usual highfaluting oratory for some down-home straight talk of his own in Pennsylvania, favoring Townhall gatherings to packing the stadiums as he has for his big tent revival meetings of the past. Now we can see the danger of Barack Obama actually talking about the issues. Bottom-line - he sucks at it.

Iraq Mess Getting Worse Again

Last month American deaths hit a low point of just 29. But with the renewed violence in Iraq this month, as well as the 33% upswing in Iraqi civilian deaths in February, it is plain to see that any new security arrangements since the "Surge" have been compromised as the radicals have found new ways around this security to launch their deadly attacks and to plummet Iraq back into a terrible cycle of nearly uncontrolled violence once again.
