POPSPetraeus Talk Bolsters Obama Cont.... Petraeus also came out unambiguously in his talk at Heritage for opening communications with America’s adversaries, a position McCain is attacking Obama for endorsing. Citing his Iraq experience, Petraeus said, “You have to talk to enemies.” He added that it was necessary to have a particular goal for discussion and to perform advance work to understand the motivations of his interlocutors. Yet Petraeus emphasized throughout his lecture that reaching out to insurgent groups — some “with our blood on their hands,” he said — was necessary to the ultimate goal of turning them against irreconcilable enemies like Al Qaeda in Iraq.

POPSLow Information Voters I run into these people a lot here in Georgia. People that make up their minds based on bumper stickers and 30 second TV ads. In a country with such promise, there is a huge swath of people that are, IMO, wasting the potential of this free society to learn, grow, and advance the human condition. Dare I use the word shallow?

POPSTaliban severs ties with al Qaeda - seeks peace No matter how CNN spins this - we have slaughtered the Taliban until their forces and leadership are depleted, and they have lost the will to fight. This is what is known as victory. It is the same sort of victory we are experiencing in Iraq. The democrats and the mainstream media are so unfamiliar with the concept of "victory" they can't recognize it. It is the kind of victory liberal democrats would never achieve, because it takes courage, foresight, and patient fortitude - - all qualities they lack. I believe only President Bush was capable of taking the war to the enemy, and seeing it through. History will be very good to him.

POPSAl Qaeda in Iraq Mastermind Dead Well, if the democrat had had their way, we would have retreated in defeat from Iraq and this scum would still be alive to murder more innocent people. Instead, he is now burning in hell and shocked in his eternal agony that there really were no virgins.

POPSThe Core Misconceptions In The "War On Terror" "Terrorism is a particular tactic of political violence. Wars are conducted between states. Declaring a war on terror is like declaring war on serial murderers. War is what al-Qaeda wants. Such language elevates the terrorists to the level of warriors in a battle. The terrorists are criminals, not warriors, and should be treated accordingly. "

POPSTaliban in secret peace talks with Afghan government Last week, the French Prime Minister, Franois Fillon, referred indirectly to the talks during a parliamentary debate on Afghanistan. “We must explore ways of separating the international Jihadists from those who are acting more for nationalist or tribal motives. Efforts in this direction are being led by Sunni countries such as Saudi Arabia,î he said. Late last year Karzai said he would welcome the chance to speak directly to Hikmatyar and to Mullah Mohammed Omar, the Taliban’s leader and one of the most wanted men in the world, promising that if the Taliban demanded a ìdepartment in this or in that ministry or a position as deputy ministerî in exchange for ending violence, he would give them the posts. Previously, Taliban spokesmen have said that only the departure of foreign troops, the institution of a fiercely rigorous interpretation of Sharia law and a share of government would be acceptable to them as the basis for any deal.

This bird is an al Qaeda sleeper cell and a Trojan Horse aimed at destroying our Nation.

POPSMajor operation underway after 35 Iraqi police killed Khalaf said the victims had travelled by car to an orchard to investigate reports that Al-Qaeda operatives were in the area. "We sent troops to check the report and not fight," he said. "They stepped out of the cars and walked about 300 metres (yards) when they were hit by gunfire." Security officials said the area surrounding the village was a longstanding Al-Qaeda stronghold.

POPSYemen a refuge for Al-Qaeda? Hmmmm. How can we invade Yemen plus have enough forces left to fight our Iraq and Afghanistan wars as well as invade Iran? And what about all those other countries that harbor terrorists? (I'm just talking of course of the terrorists we currently disapprove of and are not supporting of course.) I guess the problem we have in this country is we don't spend enough on our military to be able to be attacking all these places at once. Ooops, I forgot, we are many trillions in debt. But no big deal, Congress are experts at spending money they don't have. They even spend money our grand kids of the future don't have!

POPSGroup Claims Responsibility for Paki Marriott Bombing Interesting, while Pakistan blames Al Qaeda this "little known" group emerges (from Dubai) and takes responsibility. Interestingly they disclose what the MSM thus far has not: had targeted 250 U.S. Marines and NATO officials which he said had been at the hotel

POPSForeknowlege of Pakistan Marriott Attack Evidenced
Here it is: The leadership dinner was moved at the last minute. At the last minute, apparently on the orders of Mr Zardari and Mr Gilani, it was decided to shift the dinner to the Prime Minister's heavily guarded residence.....it is believed that intelligence services got wind of a possible terror strike and advised that the venue should be changed. But note the gate guards and hotel generally showed no preparation for an attack if we are to believe this tale. Casualties could have been averted and stepped up security deployed, but was not! . Then they emerge afterward and call it Pakistan's 9/11. Like 9/11 there is no hard evidence, only allegation, that Al Qaeda carried out the attacks, while other parties plainly benefit, particularly for setting an agenda. Meanwhile the other clipped article shows that the Marines were placing large metal boxes heavily guarded on the 4th and 5th floors of the hotel where witnesses said the fire broke out firs
