Was the Iraq Invasion Worthwhile? Ask an Iraqi

Bloomberg News  " [Barham Salih] went on to blame Iraqis, rather than Americans, for the failures of the past decade. “Much can be said about U.S. missteps and miscalculations in this process, but there is no denying that Iraqi political leadership bears prime responsibility for squandering a unique opportunity to deliver to their people. This has been nothing short of a drastic failure of leadership on our part! The Kurdistan region offers hope that all is not lost in Iraq.”

New Yorker

....
" “All Iraqis lived under a regime that had complete disdain for human life,” he said. “Executions and killings continued at will. Thousands of Iraqis were being sent to the mass graves. The Kurds were never safe as they knew that Saddam could at any time decide to reconquer the no-fly zone.”
"He went on, “Saddam was a menace to the Kurds, to the other Iraqi communities, and an inherent danger to the region. He was, from our perspective in this part of the world, a grave and mortal danger that we could never be safe from while he was still around.” " 

Liar-In-Chief: Bill Ayers Confirms Obama’s Explosive Career Started In His Living Room

The Gateway Pundit

"When it came to the question of whether or not Obama launched his political career in the living room of domestic terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, Liar-In-Chief Obama had his minister of b------t, Robert Gibbs, tell the American people that it wasn’t true.
"Now we learn from the terrorist himself that Obama is a lying sack of crap, and that he indeed did launch his political career from the living room of a man wanted for questioning in the death of a San Francisco police officer.
"From a recent Daily Beast article:

The truth is exactly what he said and what the campaign said in 2008. David Axelrod said we were friendly, that was true; we served on a couple of boards together, that was true; he held a fundraiser in our living room, that was true; Michelle [Obama] and Bernardine were at the law firm together, that was true. Hyde Park in Chicago is a tiny neighborhood, so when he said I was “a guy around the neighborhood,” that was true. Today, I wish I knew him better and he was listening to me. Obama’s not a radical. I wish he were, but he’s not.

The most shocking news you won't see in the MSM today

American Thinker  "The MSM cannot mentally deal with this trial either, mainly because they realize it exposes the logical destination of the euphemistically title "pro-choice" movement. You should be allowed to choose whether or not to allow your child to live. So they are hiding Gosnell's atrocities from the public despite the compelling nature of the news itself."  Thomas Lifson.

Conservatives Demand Broadcast News Cover 'House of Horrors' Abortion Doc Trial   "Since the Gosnell trial began three weeks ago, ABC, CBS, and NBC have given the story zero seconds of coverage on either their morning or evening news shows. They have not covered Gosnell once since his arrest in January 2011, and even then, only CBS did so."

A touch of irony?

From this post about Donna Brazile insulting Lady Thatcher
Brazile asks what capitalism has done for her while using her cell phone (probably) to tweet on the internet. Thanks to a wireless provider. Think of the silliness that dominates the halls of power guiding this nation.

End of the Republic @PointlessPol     

#DonnaBrazileLogic What has capitalism ever done for us? #justsaying 'Sent from my IPhone'

Remember that she has worked for the Clintons and their circle has many of the top socialists of America in it that do not like free enterprise.
I do admit that Obama's circle makes the Clintons bunch look like the John Birch Society, but remember they are way out there

Sowell on Middle East 'Democracy'

Thomas Sowell  "The Obama administration treated the creation of "democracy" in the Middle East as a Good Thing. Ironically, those who created the United States of America viewed democracy with fear-- and created a Constitutional republic instead.

"Everything depends on how you define democracy. In its most basic sense, democracy means majority rule. But there can be majority rule in a free country or in a country with an authoritarian or even a dictatorial government.
"In this age of sloppy uses of words, many people include freedom in their conception of democracy. But whether democracy leads to freedom is an open question, not a foregone conclusion."

Iran lines up behind North Korea, warns the US of “great losses”

DEBKAfile  "The inevitable convergence of the Korean and Iranian crises confronts America’s three top officials, President Barack Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, with their most challenging international test.
....
"There, [Kerry] could start bargaining with Russian and Chinese rulers for preliminary understandings with Washington on Iran and Syria that would make it worth their while to use their leverage for bringing the out-of-control North Korean firebrand to heel.

"So long as the Obama administration sticks to its current separate policies on Syria and Iran, Iran and Korea, Moscow and Beijing won’t lift a finger to apply the brakes to Kim Jong-Un before he drives the world to catastrophe.
 

Don’t Fire Until You See The Whites of Their Cassocks

Mark Steyn  "This is one for the “too stupid to survive” files: U.S. Army Labeled Evangelicals, Catholics as Examples of Religious Extremism."

"At the beginning of America Alone, I quote Arnold Toynbee: “Civilizations die from suicide, not murder.” The urge to suicide is always there; the trick is keeping it confined to the outer edges: In the Cold War this kind of moronic false equivalence was the province of leftie professors and fringe playwrights, who spent three decades failing to notice nobody from West Germany was climbing over the Berlin Wall to get into the East. Now this false equivalence is peddled by the politically correct eunuch bureaucracy of the U.S. military."

"When Major Hasan got a case of Pre-Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and opened fire at Fort Hood standing on a table yelling “Allahu Akbar!”, it was just the luck of the draw: He could have been shouting the Angelus. Best to prepare for all eventualities."

U.S. Army lists Evangelical Christianity, Catholicism, and "Islamophobia" as forms of "Religious Extremism" with Al-Qaeda and Hamas

Obama's Soviet Mistake

Russia’s Pravda Declares “Communism Won in America with Obama; US Suffering Has Only Begun   ”  "In an extraordinary column last week, Russia’s de facto government press arm declared that the era of “Miss American Pie” was over in the U.S. Citing Obama’s reelection, Pravda stated that the “Communists have won in America…”
"Why? Because the US is “an illiterate society” that continues to buy off on Obama’s “lies of less taxes while he raises them.” The US educational system is also held responsible, with Pravda stating that it was “conquered by the Communists long ago and history was revised thus paving the way for their Communist presidents.” "

Pravda "The Communists have won in America with Obama but failed miserably in Russia with Zyuganov who only received 17% of the vote. Vladimir Putin was re-elected as President keeping the NWO order out of Russia while America continues to repeat the Soviet mistake."
....

"Let's give American voters the benefit of the doubt and say it was all voter fraud and not ignorance or stupidity in electing a man who does not even know what to do and refuses help from Russia when there was an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. ....

...." The question is how long will the once "Land of the Free" remain the United Socialist States of America?  Their suffering has only begun.

Margaret Thatcher Dies After Stroke. Liberal civility update

How will the Obama response be worded?

Sky News   "Baroness Thatcher, Britain's Iron Lady, has died after suffering a stroke at the age of 87.
"Her children Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother had died peacefully following a stroke this morning.

"Prime Minister David Cameron led tributes saying: "Today is a truly sad day for our country. We've lost a great prime minister, a great leader, a great Briton.
"As our first woman prime minister, Margaret Thatcher succeeded against all the odds, and the real thing about Margaret Thatcher is that she didn't just lead our country, she saved our country, and I believe she'll go down as the greatest British peacetime prime minister.""

She knew sanctions wouldn't stop this dictator  "We had sanctions because the United Nations resolution prescribed that we have a period of sanctions and you have to give them a chance to.... sanctions you know don't usually work."

Left's sickening 'celebration' breaks out just minutes after Baroness Thatcher's death 

 

 "Champagne was flowing tonight as the Left took to the streets to celebrate the death of former Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
"More than 300 people gathered in Glasgow city centre, while over 100 revellers amassed on the streets of Brixton, south London.

Who runs North Korea? As Kim Jong-un plays the tough guy, his aunt and uncle hold the reins of power. Emphasis on the Aunt.

UK Telegraph  "But as the "first family", the couple's most important role is to defend the dynasty by forging the young Kim's credentials as a powerful military figure, amid concerns that some generals in the powerful armed forces do not trust him.
"North Korea has been a family affair ever since its inception in 1948 under Kim Il-sung, who died in 1994 but remains its Eternal President."....

Kim Kyong-hui is often only female face on official photographs. She is the daughter of the North Korean Eternal President Kim Il-sung
The pair, who are both 66, were seen on either side of Kim Jong-un at a central committee session of the Workers' Party last weekend, where their nephew pledged to maintain nuclear weapons as 'the nation's life treasure'. The following week saw escalating tensions as Mr Kim threatened the US and South Korea....
She also owns the only burger restaurant in Pyongyang, where the menu offers 'minced meat and bread' rather than using the American word 'burger'.
