al-Qaeda websites admitting they have lost in Iraq

Al Qaeda must be wondering why Allah has forsaken them. Again.

Harry “The war in Iraq is lost” Reid must be wetting himself too. Their strategy of appease and retreat hasn’t worked.

No wonder B. Hussein Obama doesn’t want to visit with General Petraeus and get a clue.

Al Qaeda Discusses Losing Iraq

May 27, 2008: Al Qaeda web sites are making a lot of noise about “why we lost in Iraq.” Western intelligence agencies are fascinated by the statistics being posted in several of these Arab language sites. Not the kind of stuff you read about in the Western media. According to al Qaeda, their collapse in Iraq was steep and catastrophic. According to their stats, in late 2006, al Qaeda was responsible for 60 percent of the terrorist attacks, and nearly all the ones that involved killing a lot of civilians. The rest of the violence was carried out by Iraqi Sunni Arab groups, who were trying in vain to scare the Americans out of the country.

Today, al Qaeda has been shattered, with most of its leadership and foot soldiers dead, captured or moved from Iraq. As a result, al Qaeda attacks have declined more than 90 percent. Worse, most of their Iraqi Sunni Arab allies have turned on them, or simply quit. This “betrayal” is handled carefully on the terrorist web sites, for it is seen as both shameful, and perhaps recoverable.

This defeat was not as sudden as it appeared to be, and some Islamic terrorist web sites have been discussing the problem for several years. The primary cause has been Moslems killed as a side effect of attacks on infidel troops, Iraqi security forces and non-Sunnis. Al Qaeda plays down the impact of this, calling the Moslem victims “involuntary martyrs.” But that’s a minority opinion. Most Moslems, and many other Islamic terrorists, see this as a surefire way to turn the Moslem population against the Islamic radicals. That’s what happened earlier in Algeria, Afghanistan, Egypt and many other places.

Despite the Bush Administration’s bungling of the situation in Iraq during the first 3 years, and all the mistakes made, our brave men and women in uniform have done what they do best. Kick bad guy’s asses and take names.

This is one of those rousing “HELL YEAH!” moments for our brave men and women in uniform.

Memorial Day - Gratitude and Honor

12:48 pm on May 26, 2008 by Infidelesto

Today we remember those who have fallen for the cause of promoting freedom and defending the rights of all men. God Bless those troops who’ve given their ultimate sacrifice and God Bless those families who have lost loved ones.

I thought this would also be a good time to share with you my experience today.

I found out about a memorial set up each year (since 2003) one week before Memorial Day & taken down one week after Independence Day. Now there are efforts in the works to make this memorial permanent. The city of Irvine has approved $150,000 of the estimated $387,000 costs for a permanent memorial at Northwood Community Park. This will include a new arc memorial with the interior wall displaying the names of those who’ve fallen in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I wanted to see it first hand so I went over and took some pictures of the memorial.

Honoring those who fought and died for our freedom

11:51 am on May 26, 2008 by Rudy

Memorial day is a day of remembrance, a day to honor our valiant military men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation. Initially it was called Decoration Day, and proclaimed on 5 May, 1968 by General John Logan, the commander of the Grand Army of The Republic. Memorial Day was first observed on 30 May, 1868, with the placing of flowers on both Union and Confederate soldiers interred at Arlington National Cemetary.

So today, while you barbecue, or take a road trip to the beach, please take a moment, and bow your head in a moment of silence, to thank those who made the ultimate sacrifice. If you have family or friends who have given their lives in defense of our nation, you have my everlasting gratitude, as well as that of all who enjoy the freedoms we have to this day.

It is very likely that we would not be here, as we are today, had it not been for those greater and braver than ourselves, who volunteered or were drafted to fight to defend freedom. Think highly, and think kindly of those that gave their lives, so that you might live in a truly Country as great as ours, and remember that freedom is not free. It is because of these great men and women, that the United States of America is still the greatest nation on earth.

God Bless America!

John Hawkins: Stop Apologizing for Being an American

9:46 am on May 2, 2008 by Infidelesto

A great article by John Hawkins today that will lift your spirits about being an American during this time of leftist, anti-American contempt of our value system and history of foreign policy.

A couple of days ago, I had the misfortune of being on a BBC radio show with an American college professor who sounded like he had read one too many Noam Chomsky books.

Let me give you a short impression of the guy: “Blah, blah, blah, racists! Blah, blah, blah, of course Jeremiah Wright was right when he said…blah, blah, blah. No wonder people are angry at America!”

Not to disagree with Professor Crabby McCommiePuss, but there is no nation in the world that has more to be proud of and less to apologize for than the United States of America.

Of course, the standard liberal reply to that usually goes something like this: “So, you’re saying ‘we’re perfect,’ huh? Well, what about slavery and the Indians and dropping A-bombs in WWII and the other 497 things on my ‘What I Hate About America’ list?”
What about them? Keep reading…

Please watch, you’ll enjoy, I promise.

Dog: I’m voting Republican

4:15 pm on April 18, 2008 by Infidelesto

So the other day I bought this little republican elephant at Petsmart with the colors of an American flag, and when I brought it home, my dog went NUTS over this elephant.

He just won’t put it down. I think it’s safe to say he’s a conservative who believes in less government, lower taxes, strong military, 2nd amendment rights and secure borders, can’t you tell by looking at his face??

Video: Pope speaks at the White House

9:23 am on April 16, 2008 by Infidelesto

Great speech by the Pope praising America. The Pope understands the great contributions America has made to the world in bringing freedom and political prosperity to so many people around the world while sacrificing more lives for the cause of freedom than any other nation on Earth.

It’s sad that speeches like this will be attacked by the left all week long. Just watch.

“God Bless America”

“I trust that my presence will be a source of renewal and hope for the church in the United States and strengthens the resolve of Catholics to contribute even more responsibly to the life of this nation of which they are proud to be citizens.”
