Today is Patriot Day, officially designated a holiday back in 2001 by Congress and the President. It is a day to remember the 3,000 who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks of 9/11; to remember the people who fought back; to remember why we are fighting for freedom and democracy in the middle east. …

Korean Hostages
Well, the good news is that the Taliban has released the last group of the Korean hostages that they kidnapped a month ago. While this is undoubtedly good news (no pun intended) for the Christian missionaries, I am afraid that it bodes poorly for the War on Terror and the world in general.The Taliban has …
Letter to My Congressthings:
Dear Congressman:For some time, there has been resistance to the “troop surge” in Iraq. First, some thought that it was a foregone conclusion that the surge would fail. It is now commonly known that that is not what will be reported by General Petraeus in his upcoming visit. Now, the argument is that, while military …

Not only should all congressional …

I was perusing articles on Media Matters for America today, when I came across an article referring to Cindy Sheehan wearing a tee shirt depicting the current count of American servicemen KIA in Iraq, with the question, "How many more?" Apparently, the Baltimore Sun referred to it as "less patriotic" that a tee shirt worn …
Real Message from Iraq

Lt Col Fecher says that the media reports of Iraq are way off mark; that despite battle-weariness, troop morale remains high; that Iraqi police are coming along strongly and …
H. R. 1591
Nanci Pellosi led a vote to withdraw the troops from Iraq today, winning by a slim margin. A quick perusal of the bill demonstrates that votes were bought with barrels and barrels of "pork"–from money for peanut storage to rent assistance. I am unable to paste a working link directly to the bill for some …
