Vindication for Gen. David Petraeus
It’s no secret by now – to the thinking classes, anyway – that Gen. David Petraeus has been vindicated by the successes we’ve seen take place in Iraq over the last year and a half. The General that the far left has for years loved to hate – even going so far as to take a nasty ad out on him in the NYT that strongly implied he was a “traitor” – has more than proved his worth to the US military, to coalition forces in Iraq, and to those of us here stateside who always believed that the war in Iraq was a worthy cause, and one worth winning.

Read this post about Obama’s visit to Iraq last week, specifically the part where it is alleged that prior to the event the troops were polled as to which ones supported Obama, and those who answered yes were supposedly ushered to the front of the receiving line and given cameras they were told to hold up and take pictures with.
Media/lefty reax to Captain’s rescue
It’s interesting but not altogether surprising to see how the mainstream media is reporting on the heroic rescue of Captain Richard Phillips from the clutches of pirates in the Indian Ocean over the weekend by Navy Seals. The way they’re spinning it, you’d think that Obama himself had personally fired the three sniper shots that killed three of the four pirates holding Captain Phillips.
