This Guy Proposes

to honor those in pain yet ignores the pain of millions in Iraq. Hypocritical dimwits!

The Extreme Lefties Have Decided

to shut up for a day. Looks like events in Iraq have finally silenced them.

Even Though We

blasted Saddam again a couple of days ago, there is still no concensus on whether he lives or not. The Brits think he's still alive, we think he was killed in the bombed out restaurant. But more ominously, there is a rumor floating around that he has taken refuge in the Russian embassy. From CNN:

The Web site of Arabic news channel Al-Jazeera said Saddam is holed up inside the Russian Embassy in Baghdad.

The Russian Foreign Ministry in Moscow neither confirmed nor denied the report to Fox News. The Russian Embassy in Washington denies that Saddam is in its Baghdad Embassy and said 12 people are still there.

State Department sources told Fox News that officials there are "downplaying" the rumor. But apparently the "phone lines are buzzing" between Washington and Moscow for a direct response.

Ahmad Chalabi, the once-exiled leader of the Iraqi National Congress, said in a TV interview that he heard from sources inside Iraq that Saddam and his two sons had survived the bombing and were in a town northeast of Baghdad when the Marines arrived.


If this is so and the Russians do harbor him, it could be a very serious situation. I hope it's just a rumor.

It Only Took

three weeks.

So Much Has Been Said

about chemical weapons and, especially by the liberal press, the lack thereof in the Iraqi War. Now there seems to be convincing evidence that they have been found. Drums of suspicious materials and short range rockets loaded with Sarin and Mustard gashave been found near Baghdad.

A Family Death,

sickness, and lots of work have kept me away from my blog. So many things have happened in the war, I won't even try to list them. I think this headline from Foxnews website says it all:

U.S. Forces Moving At Will In Baghdad
