The Prez says we’ll be totally out of Iraq by Christmas. That’s a bit dangerous, as Iran is in position and motivated to interfere in a major way, especially once we’re gone. Granted that Iraqi leaders have the decision, but both...
Boy, do I remember this. On 24 Apr 1980, a military operation to rescue the 52 American hostages held in Tehran, Iran, ended with eight US servicemen dead and no hostages rescued. With the Iran Hostage Crisis in its sixth month and all diplomatic...
19 March (because of the time change, it was the early hours of 20 Mar in Iraq) is the anniversary of the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom. 8 years ago, our troops began a worthy and critical mission, to take out the vicious and dangerous Saddam...
