The secret of success.

Wow, good article. I do like VDH's writings.

[Just mythoughts]

According to Mooola Durbin of the state of Illinois the US is now one and the same as the Nazis and Stalinist of the 30's and 40's.

Mooola Durbin seems to now agree with the Mooola's of the world that the US is the 'Great Satan'. Seems we must sort out a few things within our own land before we can get the message out to the rest of the world.

We have a new Moooola in town, recruiting for the terrorists cause.

From time to time, I’ll ping on noteworthy articles about politics, foreign and military affairs. FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.

Tolik has a ping list for articles by Victor Davis Hanson(VDH). Perhaps Tolik is otherwise occupied today.

Outside Iraq but Deep in the Fight (Very good article on Syria's role in the Iraq war) is almost definitely the article to which VDH referred. I'm shocked that the Washington Post(WaPo) printed it.

The only article in the International Herald Tribune, a subsidiary of the NY Times, that mentioned jihad or the involvement of Syria was Syria: Bring back the carrots in the last month.

As a result, Assad has moved to appease those among Syria's governing circle most suspicious of his intentions. Hence less cooperation with U.S. intelligence and the Syrian Sunni radicals filtering into Iraq. It's a calculated move. Beyond appeasement of his domestic critics, Assad believes Sunni radicals are less threat to him in Iraq than they would be at home.

Use bugmenot.com if you want to avoid registering with either site, but the WaPo story is a must read, IMHO.
