POPSObama would still oppose the surge
OK. This clinches it. Obama is utterly incapable of rational leadership. The terrorists were wreaking havoc in Iraq and killing hundreds daily. Now there is relative calm. Iraq is turning around. al Qaeda is out of Iraq. al Qaeda describes the situation as lost and say they can no longer recruit in the region. Iran is no longer having their way with propping up the insurgency. Intelligence tells us we are winning the hearts and minds of the Middle East. We have basically won in Iraq. However, Obama says he would still not support the surge after originally saying prior to the surge that he did not support the surge because it would have the "opposite effect" and increase violence. He is saying now that we should have let the situation in Iraq fester, withdrawn troops, hand the terrorists a victory in Iraq, allow the violence in Iraq to continue and instead concentrate on the few Taliban incapacitated in the mountains of Pakistan and Afghanistan. What a complete fool!

POPSUnabashadly Unprincipled "Normally, flip-flopping presidential candidates have to worry about the press. Not Obama. After all, this is a press corps that heard his grandiloquent Philadelphia speech — designed to rationalize why “I can no more disown (Jeremiah Wright) than I can disown my white grandmother” — then wiped away a tear and hailed him as the second coming of Abraham Lincoln. Three months later, with Wright disowned, grandma embraced and the great “race speech” now inoperative, not a word of reconsideration is heard from his media acolytes." "Remember his pledge to stick to public financing? Now flush with cash, he is the first general-election candidate since Watergate to opt out." "When it’s time to throw campaign finance reform, telecom accountability, NAFTA renegotiation or Jeremiah Wright overboard, Obama is not sentimental. He does not hesitate. He tosses lustily." Why, the man even tossed his own grandmother overboard

POPSIran's new parliament speaker I think the important point here is the influence and wishes of Iran's clerical leaders, who actually rule the country. They want a "less confrontational approach"...for the time being. We know they approve of Ahmedinijad but he is like the gung-ho mafia apprentice that lets his enthusiasm get in the way of his prudence. When Ahmedinejad is gone Iran will be the same. The face and persona of it's President will be different.

POPSJohn Bolton on Iran Bolten is echoing my sentiments. I agree that an attack on Iran is insane. I have found it very disheartening that the Bush administration has blown a prime opportunity to force Iran's hand. Three years ago Iran was primed for economic collapse and the Iranian people were on our side. It seems to me an opportunity has been wasted.

POPSThe politically incorrect truth Liberty for the good of mankind establishes the evidence of successful self-government in light of the abject failures and evils of the collective enterprises of China, Cuba, Fascist Germany, Japan, and Italy, Communist Soviet Union, as well as the Islamo-fascist sharia states of Afghanistan under the Taliban, Iraq under Saddam, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the designs of the Islamists and fascist greens.

POPSIran Strengthens South America Ties Old article from Sept. 2007. Clipped to remind us that Iran is extending it's influence into oil-rich dictatorships in the Southern Hemisphere. Some may minimize this and other such events. However, that's not very wise considering his very open hatred against all things American.

POPSA voice in the wilderness of the Democratic Party "Senator Lieberman also indicated, “…there is something profoundly wrong—something that should trouble all of us—when we have elected Democratic officials who seem more worried about how the Bush administration might respond to Iran’s murder of our troops, than about the fact that Iran is murdering our troops." The Democratic Party has been hijacked by materialists and radical far-left (Moveon.org) groups. Lieberman has been left standing virtually alone.

POPSPutin-Iran Alliance This is the final piece to look out for. Depending on how bold Russia is at crunch time, it could make for a nasty turn of events.

POPSColumbia faculty and students applaud death penalty for homosexuals The transcript does not really do the scene justice. In all honesty, it sounded as though the audience was unsure about their applause and cheering, but then it grew. It seems to me the audience was so willing to make useful idiots of themselves that it really did not matter what Ahmadinejad said.

POPSWhy sanctions on Iran could work "If Iran is cut off by its major trade and investment partners, Tehran may just change course—because there is nothing the regime fears more than a counterrevolution by Iran's dissatisfied, economically disadvantaged youth."
