Here’s a video of Sarah Palin claiming that Iraq was God’s task. It’s funny because the insurgents and terrorists also believe that what they are doing is [...]

The news keeps “reporting” on how the surge is working. Well, no shit it’s working. You send soldiers and Marines into Iraq without enough man power to do their jobs properly and things go poorly. You increase the troop levels and their performance improves.
They sent 300,000 troops into Iraq initially and downgraded that to around [...]

From a recent news article…
The Pentagon already has approval to buy 8,000 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles. The $11 billion would allow for the purchase of an additional 7,000. The vehicles have V-shaped hulls and raised chassis to deflect the force of improvised explosive devices, or roadside bombs.
Troops in MRAPs are as much as [...]
