An amazing PHOTO HERE of more PURPLE FINGERS as Egyptians head to the polls in an historic vote. The "purple finger" strategy is fully vindicated, proving the far-left bigoted. In 2004, remember the left screeching the 'inherently' incapable narrative?

On August 29, 2003, the “car-bomb war” started.

Most American Leftists still believe that the Iraqi democrats and Iraq are an inherent disaster that simply must be abandoned so "those people" can have "their" civil war. However, in the new Liberal utopia, bombing Libya or Syria, no problem!

Office of Militarized "Lawfare" (formerly known as the Department of Defense) If the generals fail, get ready for "lawfare"

Commandant of the United States Marine Corps says he asked Gen Franks again and again who would take charge of running the country once Saddam Hussein fell from power.

In the mind of our generals, what is the steady state? War? Or peace? The quote leads some to think that our modern day generals are more of the mind of Napoleon's admirals and less of Nelson's.

Fatigue leads to bad judgment - "If I got two hours of sleep, I was happy.”

War strategy hashed out at interagency working groups
