Soapbox Bob Just a little reminder what an increased domestic energy supply means Lower prices, that's what. And all we've had is the threat of opening more sources, not actually obtaining more oil.

Soapbox Bob The false messiah's excellent adventure lands in Iraq We couldn't even think of withdrawal if Obama's bad idea to cut and run from Iraq had been followed: Lieberman: 'If Obama's Plan Had Been Implemented, He Couldn't Go To Iraq Today' Admiral Mullen: Consequences of Obama-Style Withdrawal Could be “Very Dangerous” Obama Wimps Out!...

Soapbox Bob A tremendous performance by our troops The propaganda media apparently botched yet again another report from the war zone, this one concerning the big fight last Sunday in Afghanistan. Stars and Stripes sets the record straight in the following two reports. In the end, it was another tremendous performance by our troops: Commander: Media reports on Afghanistan outpost battle were exaggerated Soldiers recount deadly attack on Afghanistan outpost Speaking of tremendous performances, our forces and coalition allies in Iraq continue to excel: ISOF disrupts criminal activities in central Iraq; 10 terrorists captured (Balad) Baghdad National ERB detains two suspected Special Groups criminals, kills six ISF, CF thwart terrorist activities, uncover weapons caches, capture 6 suspects (Balad) ISOF kill two suspected terrorists in Diyala Province MND-B Soldiers detain known terrorist, two suspected criminals (Baghdad) 2 wanted men detained, IED defused in Basra |

Soapbox Bob Now is the time to increase our domestic oil supply Lifting the ban on offshore oil drilling and opening up more federal land for oil drilling caused the price of a barrel of oil to drop almost $20 last week. Let's not stop there. |
Soapbox Bob Sunday morning news briefing The propaganda media erroneously reports (misleads?) another story about Iraq. The big point in all of this: the only reason responsible people can consider withdrawal now is because those same responsible people implemented the counterinsurgency strategy known as the "surge", and now al Qaeda and the Iranian sponsored militias have been beaten. Withdrawal is now based on victory, not giving up. Official: Iraq PM Does Not Back Obama Pullout Plan Call off the Kooks... MEDIA MISTRANSLATES MALIKI! Maliki spokesman: His timetable comment was “not conveyed accurately” Maliki Endorses Bush Plan, Not Obama Plan for Withdrawal Are these people nuts? Democrat policies are responsible for the high fuel costs we bear, and they want to add to that burden with more taxes on that already high fuel? Incredible. Instead of a gas-tax holiday, Congress considers gas-tax hike Democrats Nix Gas Tax Holiday-- Offer Gas Tax Hike Instead News releases from Iraq this morning: Coalition forces target al-Qaeda in Iraq; 15 suspects detained MND-B Soldiers detain five suspected criminals in Rashid ISF detain two suspected terrorists, three suspected Special Groups criminals in separate operations Two wanted men captured, weapons destroyed as al-Qaeda support wanes (Baghdad, Anbar, Mosul) Pakistan's usefulness in the war on terror is approaching zero...

Ralph Peters opines on the demise of al Qaeda: I've said since around October 2007 that al Qaeda was retreating from Iraq and choosing to concentrate on northwest Pakistan and the Afghan border instead: US general: al-Qaida may be easing effort in Iraq More good news from Iraq today: Sunnis formally rejoin Maliki government U.S. & Iraq Negotiating Conditions-Based Troop Withdrawal Timeframe Iraq Forces Focus on Arms Smuggling From Iran If KFC can open a franchise in Fallujah, well then it's got to be just about over: Finger Licking Victory-- KFC Opens In Fallujah (Video) |
Soapbox Bob The false messiah begins his excellent adventure abroad The false messiah, Barack Obama, begins his foreign visits today in Afghanistan, with propaganda media groupies in tow: On Obama, Iraqis Like the Messenger but Not His Message Iraqi PM Backs Obama's Plan... Except He Wants to Win Barack Obama's Judgment Means Longer Wars PREDICTION: I predict that after he visits Iraq, and sees that the peace is almost won, that he, the OBAMA, will take credit for 100% of the turnaround. The propaganda media will help in this con of America, even though the false messiah wanted to run like a spoiled crybaby from Iraq up to this very minute. |

Soapbox Bob Friday morning news briefing Who do you think is winning the war on terror? Clearly, facts and statistics show that US is winning. This has come about because of President Bush and his policies. McCain has communicated that he will be at least as aggressive, and probably more aggressive, than President Bush in fighting this war. Obama will not. In fact, terrorists around the world have indicated that they would like to see Obama as president. Why would anybody vote for Obama as president, if he is who the terrorists want for president? Victory As A Matter Of Opinion Clinton Administration to Obama: Iraq Trumps Afghanistan Another reason to vote for McCain for president - your pocketbook: I wonder what turned this around? The Goracle provides the hypocritical Democrat laugher of the day: Limousine liberal video of the day: Gore and his gas-guzzling fans exposed! Perfect... Gore Takes Fleet of Gas Guzzlers to Global Warming Sermon Good news from Iraq this morning: Five Special Groups criminals captured 4 wanted men detained in Mosul |
