I know when I look for an “independent journalist” to corroborate facts, the first person in my Rolodex is Iran Conra liar Oliver North. I’m sure the same is true of most people.

Congratulations, Republicans, on coming around to the Democratic position. Had we never engaged in this idiocy in the first place or changed direction when it was necessary, a lot more Americans and Iraqis would be alive today.
“Rogue Operation”

Tribal warfare? In Iraq? Unpossible.
The U.S. military spoke out on Wednesday against a deadly Iraqi special forces raid on the governor’s office in one of the country’s most restive provinces, saying it was a ‘rogue operation.’
The Iraqi unit stormed Diyala governor Raad Rasheed Mulla Jawad’s office in the provincial capital, Baquba, before dawn on Tuesday, [...]

“DJ Drummond”, writing at Wizbang, says this about the situation in Georgia and one idea of how to respond:
Sending a force too small to accomplish any significant mission or hold any significant territory, without recourse to massive reinforcement and fallback positions, would simply kill those men.
“DJ” is a supporter of the Iraq War, and has [...]

Quid pro quo.
Scheunemann is McCain’s point man in articulating and defending the senator’s Iraq policy. McCain was also a major advocate of the original invasion. The Worldwide document seems to portray Scheunemann as attempting to profit off the war. It is unclear how much, if any, money Scheunemann made from Worldwide.

As the next president comes in, one of the things we will uncover is just how widespread the systematic perversion of the government into an arm of the Republican party is. In this instance it’s the Bushies pushing Iraq’s Maliki to walk back what was clearly an endorsement of Sen. Obama’s strategy in Iraq.
The statement [...]

As conservatives have taught us, the only people who want a definite timeline for leaving Iraq are callous-souled individuals who have no regard for the Iraqi people.

The ongoing story of how the Bush administration sacrificed American and global security to Al Qaeda in order to invade Iraq marches on.
Current and former military and intelligence officials said that the war in Iraq consistently diverted resources and high-level attention from the tribal areas. When American military and intelligence officials requested additional Predator drones [...]

I noted these idiots a few months ago, kudos to the marines for smacking these asses down.
The Marine Corps said Wednesday it was expelling one Marine and disciplining another for their roles in a video showing a Marine throwing a puppy off a cliff while on patrol in Iraq.
The 17-second video posted on YouTube drew [...]

Everyone with a brain knows this already, but the much delayed Phase II Senate report proves once again that the President and his lackeys lied us into the Iraq War.

How Many Times Have We “Won” In Iraq?

By my count over the last 5 years, this is the third time in which we have “won” the Iraq war. Every time that has happened, con blogs have convinced themselves that this should be the time that Democrats concede that the righties were right about everything. Despite the fact that the right has been [...]

Australia gets smart.
Soldiers lowered the Australian flag that had flown over Camp Terendak in the southern Iraqi city of Talil. The combat troops were expected to return to Australia over the next few weeks, with the first of them arriving home Sunday.
Don’t forget Poland.
