What is victory in Iraq?
The same as any other war -
-from the WWII Memorial in Washington, DC:
Thank you General Marshall!
I took this photo last week while in DC for business. I wanted to go inside the Capitol, but they were preparing the rotunda for President Ford. There are flags everywhere in DC - this day and many others to follow - they stood at half-mast. Inside my head I heard a line referencing Atticus […]
Sydney, Australia is one of the first major cities to welcome in the new year. We see photos like this every year of the Aussies welcoming in the new year with a fireworks show off of the Sydney Harbor Bridge. It’s one of the most beautiful spots that I have ever seen.
So let […]
Republicanpundit posted a link to a video of the Saddam hanging yesterday in this link. If you watched the video, there were a lot of comments being made during the execution. Being in Arabic, I couldn’t understand a word of it. Turns out Saddam was being taunted by some of the witnesses.

This is one of the rare instances in which I actually agree with a Washington Post opinion, Prosecutorial Indiscretion.
They point out that a prosecutor has more “control over life, liberty and reputation than any other person in America” and he has a special responsibility. The Duke case has been flawed from the beginning and […]
One. Ever since I took my first steps toward becoming a writer/editor/journalist/crank, I’ve been aware of how we’re “losing the language.†A collection of lefty dolts are comparing rounding up and deporting illegal, e.g., lawbreaking, aliens to the Holocaust. That’s right! Says one brilliant Democrat,
“This unfortunately reminds me of when Hitler began rounding up […]

President Ford’s final resting place will be here, at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library & Museum in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
You can send condolences or memorials to the Ford family here (links halfway down the page).
This is the official White House history on Gerald Ford.

Saddam Hanging
Today is an opportunity for the country, and indeed the world, to stop and observe how great men are honored. Gerald Ford is afforded the greatest honor the country can bestow. He lived an honorable life and is afforded a magnificant funeral.
On the other hand, Saddam met his fate as most bullies do, […]
Judge: Saddam to be executed by Saturday
Saddam has been turned over to the Iraqis, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has signed Saddam’s death sentence and a judge says the sentence will be imposed by Saturday. That’s Iraqi time. It is now 9:11 p.m. in Baghdad. This stage of the Iraqi nightmare will soon […]

Courtesy of Drudge, here’s a link to the NBC breaking news story, Saddam to Hang.

Michael J. Totten is back from a three-week sojourn in Beirut. Read part one of his report on Hezbollah’s “putsch†in Lebanon, six months after the Israeli-Hezbollah war. His writing and pictures are great and informative.
He’s got a terrific disclaimer in the story, too:
I try my best to be accurate. But these reports are not […]
