So says Hillary. To which we can only ask, why not win both?

She’s in Egypt this week to support the largest Islamist terror group, which is another way of saying, she’s there to give aid and comfort not just to the enemy but to her son’s murderers.
Attacks in Baghdad Fall Eighty Percent
Published by Rod D. Martin February 18th, 2008 filed under Blame America First, Iraq, MoveOn, Democrats, War on Terror, Rod D. Martin, Election 2008, TheVanguard.Org
Violence continues to drop dramatically in Iraq as the Bush-McCain Surge continues to work its magic, and as Iraqi civilians continue to join their government in eliminating the foreign al Qaeda terrorists who’ve made their country hell.
Which just makes it all the sadder that we remain forcibly subjected to a daily diet of “the war is lost” propaganda over here.
From that canard to the disgraceful slander that “Iraqis aren’t doing enough for themselves” to the painfully ludicrous (but still occasionally (continue reading post »)
Iraq PM Promises ‘Decisive Battle’ Against Al-Qaeda

…which he is only able to do because the surge has worked, and how. Al-Qaeda is in near collapse everywhere, and you can thank George W. Bush, John McCain, David Patraeus and an increasingly amazing Iraqi army and populace — of all religions and races — for that.

When Hillary Clinton pointedly refused to criticize the disgraceful Moveon.org ad in the New York Times which called General Petreaus a traitor, Rudy Giuliani’s campaign followed with its own ad bashing Hillary.
It’s Such a Good 9/11 That I’m Flying Today
Published by Rod D. Martin September 11th, 2007 filed under Iraq, MoveOn, Democrats, George W. Bush, Rod D. Martin, War on Terror, TheVanguard.Org
With Osama bin Laden reduced to posting videos that sound like Barack Obama speeches and with the Iraq situation turning around before our (not at all surprised) eyes, this is proving to be a very good 9/11 indeed (and it’s the 9/11 that’s 72 months after the first one, as in 72 virgins, and 72 angels around Allah’s throne, so that matters more than it might).
So what’s the Left to do? These are the folks, after all, who have completely invested themselves in America’s defeat, staked their electoral hopes on America’s global humiliation, and done everything they can to “help” America lose. And America isn’t losing. It would seem a quandry.
But it isn’t, at least not to MoveOn.org.
The loony left’s vanguard took the long-awaited report of America’s most-respected general — the (continue reading post »)

The latest from pundit-land is “no” since up to 50% of Americans say they will definitely not vote for her.
But for those of us who have watched her public appearances over time, from speeches to debates, the answer isn’t so clear.
Here’s a good analogy: If you’ve seen the original Rocky movie on DVD (or VHS), you may recall a scene where Apollo Creed, the heavyweight champion, (continue reading post »)
Is President Bush a Conservative?
Published by Charles Gordon July 14th, 2007 filed under Immigration, Iraq, Border Security, Missile Defense, Charles Gordon, Bush Tax Cuts, Social Security, Conservatism, Abortion, War on Terror, George W. Bush, Economics, TheVanguard.Org
From spending to immigration, many conservatives are disappointed in President Bush, with some labeling his presidency a disaster for conservative values and principles.
Are they right? (continue reading post »)
Iraq: Sunnis Are Key
Published by Charles Gordon July 13th, 2007 filed under Charles Gordon, Iraq, War on Terror, TheVanguard.Org
When we deposed Saddam in 2003, we assumed that 80% of Iraqis (65% Shi’ia, 15% Kurds) would cheer.
We were right.
We also assumed that the problem of the remaining 20% — Saddam’s fellow Sunnis — would resolve itself.
We were wrong.
Under Saddam, the Sunnis had (continue reading post »)
