Can't Leave Iraq Yet

The top general advises that leaving Iraq now would be a huge mistake. It would be a human catastrophe, and the success gained to date would likely be lost.

Democrats want to leave NOW. But they can't without going against the advice of the top commander. GOP wants to decrease the troops, but even that is too fast. And the war will still be around when the GOP attempts to do well in November elections.

Trust the generals? Yes.

Fox Report

Surge Begins to Work in Iraq

Bartle Bull expresses his opinion from close up that the surge in Iraq is beginning to work. Why? Principally because the Sunnis who started the insurgency in 2004 have realized that the United States is not leaving until the job is done, and they are tired of al-Qaeda beheading their own people and killing Iraqis over and over again. The native Sunnis also tire of al-Qaeda telling them that they cannot have alcohol, marrying off of their daughters, and killing their local leaders who are not "right" enough to match the holiness of al-Qaeda requirements.

Meanwhile, the Shiites apparently are finally beginning to temper their ways, and starting to work with the Sunnis. And what signs do we have of progress with Kurds, Sunnis and Shiites working together? When Senator Biden proposed splitting Iraq into three parts (under a weak federal government), it was resoundingly rejected.

Killings are down. People are starting to work with each other.

Mr. Bull is the foreign editor of Prospect magazine and editor of Middle East Monitor. His next book, "Babylon," is due out next year from Grove/Atlantic

Teachers versus Educators

Lipstick In School According to a news report, a certain school in Garden City, MI was recently faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the washroom.That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.

Every night, the maintenance man would remove them and the next day the girls would put them back. Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. He called all the girls to the washroom and met them there with the maintenance man. He explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night. To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, he asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it. Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

THE MORAL OF THIS STORY..

There are teachers, and then there are Educators.

Why One U.S. Attorney Was Fired

Here is one of the articles by SF Weekly that exposes the failings of a U.S. attorney. That U.S. attorney was fired two months later, and Democrats are charging the firing was without cause and politically motivated. Read the article and decide for yourself.

More than 50 attorneys have quit on his watch, depriving the office of some of its longest-serving criminal and civil litigators.

CIA Never Helped Osama

And you don't trust the author of Ghost Wars, who researched this issue to death.

And you don't trust Milt Bearden, who ran the CIA's Afghan operations and made clear that the CIA helped non-Arabs (because there were plenty of them) and the Saudis helped the Arab fighters (who were fighting for religious reasons).

And you don't trust Ayman al-Zawahiri, who was fighting the Russians and confirmed that the "Afghan Arabs" did not receive any U.S. funding during the war in Afghanistan (because they were receiving funds from Arab states).

And you don't trust Abdullah Anas, an Algerian who was one of the foremost Afghan Arab organizers, and confirmed that the CIA had no relationship with the Afghan Arabs.

And you don't trust Brigadier Mohammad Yousaf was in charge of the Afghan Bureau of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), confirmed how America and the Saudis funded the fighters separately.

And you don't trust Marc Sageman, author of Understanding Terror Networks, whose research confirmed the CIA had ZERO contact with the Arabs, who had their own money.

And you don't trust the CIA which categorically denied that it ever had contact with Osama.

And you don't trust the U.S. State Department that has discredited this lie.

But you got a former British Foreign Secretary who had ZERO direct knowledge of anything that went on and did NOT run any intelligence operations and hasn't put forward one scrap of evidence to back up his claim.
