        <![CDATA[<p>For a guy who is on his way to the Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Barack Obama sure does show a alot of weaknesses.&nbsp; Hillary Clinton got 68% and thumped Obama by 41 points in West Virginia.&nbsp; It looks like Obamamania is running out of steam.&nbsp; Back in December, when Obama was the 'flavor of the week', I asked people who were going crazy for him, including my mother, what he stood for.&nbsp; All I heard from her and others was about how handsome he was, and how great his speeches were.&nbsp; No Democrat in a hundred years has won the presidency without carrying West Virginia, and Obama show great weakness here.&nbsp; He is also going hammered in Kentucky next week as well, since it has similar demographics as WV.&nbsp; As he limps towards the finish line, he looks more and more like Mike Dukakis, another notorious loser of 20 years past.&nbsp; This was noted by no less a person the Susan Estrich, Mike Dukakis&quot; campaign manager!<br /></p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Fomer Pres. Jimmy Carter, on his recent 'peace mission' to kiss up to the terrorist Hamas organization, has made a complete fool of himself.&nbsp; A weak president while in office, and a weak character since, he somehow got it into his mind that he could actually get Hamas to do something constructive by sitting down and talking to these murderers.&nbsp; Well, he was rather disappointed.&nbsp; First, they made him look ridiculous when he said they had accepted Israel's existence.&nbsp; Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal quickly denounced that statement, saying he had agreed to 'ten-year truce' if Israel returned to pre-1967 borders.&nbsp; He later renounced even that.&nbsp; Carter also defied the US State Dept. to make his little trip to cozy up to terrorists.&nbsp; The Israeli ambassador to the US harshly criticized him as a 'bigot', and the father of a kidnapped Israeli soldier wasn't impressed either.&nbsp; Receiving a letter from his son, he condemned Carter as 'a postman for Hamas'.&nbsp; Sounds pretty much like a complete disaster to me.<br /></p>]]>

Petraeus after his Capitol hill testimony yesterday.&nbsp; Presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, a decorated naval aviator in Vietnam, fired up the crowd saying &quot;...we will never surrender to the extremists.&quot;&nbsp; But my biggest cheers go for Sen. Lindsay Graham, a reserve USAF colonel, who said the following:</p><p>&quot;Do you know who wants to come home more than anybody?&quot; said Graham. &quot;Al Qaeda -- because you are kicking their ass. We are going to get you home, he told U.S. troops. But we are going to leave behind an Iraq that makes America safer.&quot; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Remember that <strong>freedom isn't free</strong>!!! <br /></p>]]>

Huckabee of Arkansas are stronger on moral issues, but go soft on law enforcement and illegal immigration.&nbsp; We would all sleep more soundly with Rudy Giuliani as president in these turbulent times.<br /></p>]]>

George W. Bush also weighed in wish a strong expression of displeasure about the episode.&nbsp; Your Majesty, it's time to banish Saudi Arabia's medieval standards of justice and bring your country into the modern era.&nbsp; <br /></p>]]>

Q. Khan nuclear organization was broken up that year as well.&nbsp; Let's see now-- Ahmadinejad and Co. had a lot to be afraid of.&nbsp; Fear-- of the Central Command-- is their only motivating factor.&nbsp; Also, the NIE summary was written by some soft-headed ex-State department types, and shouldn't be completely trusted.&nbsp; As President Bush has noted, Iran is still enriching uranium, and could restart a weapons program at any.&nbsp; Remember what Patrick Henry said-- &quot;<strong>the price of liberty is eternal vigilance</strong>&quot;.<br /></p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>As we all sit down at Thanksgiving dinner to overeat, let us give thanks not only our mighty nation but also for victory in Iraq.&nbsp; Not only Al-Qaeda terrorists but Democrat defeatists have been routed and shattered.&nbsp; With the sole exception of 'bathtub-boy', MSNBC's blowhard Keith Olberman, all other members of the drive-by media have surrendered.&nbsp; (The netnuts over at codepink don't really count.) As related in his NY Post column, Ralph Peters identified the <strong>big five </strong>reasons for victory in Iraq:</p><p><strong>We didn't quit:&nbsp; </strong>This was really tough.&nbsp; With the drive-by media all screaming for a pullout, and major leftist papers like the NY Times pounding on it every day, the President was a rock of strength through the entire episode.&nbsp; Brave military leaders like Lt. Gen. Odierno were constantly hammered for being &quot;warmongers&quot; and worse.&nbsp; Prominent news figures like Tim Russert even threw in the towel.&nbsp; The GOP itself took some losses last year, and lost control of the House and Senate.&nbsp; Check out the political history of the Civil War and what Abe Lincoln went through.&nbsp; The similarities are striking.<br /></p><p><strong><img width="256" height="230" border="15" align="left" title="Gen. David Petraeus" alt="Gen. David Petraeus" src="http://bfgreen.com/photos/Petraeus.jpg" />Gen. Petraeus took command: </strong>Petraeus took on his new assignment with determination and a specific plan for victory, not just holding the line.&nbsp; He literally wrote the book on counterinsurgency, and he put it into practice.&nbsp; He made a difference in working with Sunni tribal leaders, turning them against Al-Qaeda and cultivating their cooperation.&nbsp; He made a strategic move here that was decisive.<br /> </p><p>&nbsp;<strong>The surge worked:&nbsp; </strong>Pooh-poohed by the left-wing media, this was a big part of Petraeus' 'clear-and-hold' strategy.&nbsp; Once insurgents and terrorist were driven out of an area, enough troops were available to hold it.&nbsp; An important psychological effect was realized as our enemies saw that not weren't we leaving, we were sending in more men.&nbsp; Our friends also saw determination, and decided to join us in the fight.<br /></p><p>&nbsp;<br /><strong>Al-Qaeda fanaticism:&nbsp; </strong>Savage Al-Qaeda tactics like torture and murder of children turned Sunni tribal leaders against the foreign terrorists.&nbsp; Stories about insurgent baking kids and serving them to their families dramatically cut their support among their fellow Sunnis.&nbsp; Muslim fanatics always go too far, but no one can predict when the population will say 'enough'.<br /></p><p><strong>Iraqis are sick of the bloodshed and destruction:</strong>&nbsp; Neighborhood militias in Baghdad suddenly began taking up the fight against insurgents and gangsters in their midst.&nbsp; This may have been the most dramatic change of all, and is responsible for the great improvement in the atmosphere in the capital.&nbsp; People are returning to formerly embattled neighborhoods, including Baghdad's Christians.</p><p>The struggle isn't completely over yet, but victory is surely at hand.&nbsp; Senator Reid and Speaker Pelosi can't stop themselves from reading from the loser playbook, but the President will prevail over them as well.&nbsp;</p>]]>
