Ralph Peters hits a home run with his analysis of antiwar hypocrisy on the Iraq war: AM I the only one who's noticed the silence? Mere months ago, left-wing bloggers and demonstrators were wailing Support our troops, bring them home! seven days a week. Now their presidential candidate has announced that he won't bring all those troops home, but will simply transfer combat forces from Iraq to Afghanistan...

Ralph Peters: When the conflict in Iraq was going badly, critics repeatedly suggested parallels with the Vietnam War. None of the comparisons held up. But Afghanistan is different: One tragic parallel makes a decisive success almost impossible to achieve. The problem is that our enemies have a sanctuary across the border in Pakistan — just as the North Vietnamese army enjoyed havens in Laos, Cambodia...

Ralph Peters on a point I made earlier this week. How is it that Obamamania's proposal to move troops from Iraq to Afghanistan, hasn't been met with condemnation from the anti war left? AM I the only one who's noticed the silence? Mere months ago, left-wing bloggers and demonstrators were wailing Support our troops, bring them home! seven days a week. Now their presidential candidate has announced...

Al Qaeda's Market Crash (Ralph Peters, 7/21/08, New York Post) Yes, al Qaeda had little or no connection to Saddam Hussein's Iraq - but the terrorists chose to declare that country the main front in their struggle with the Great Satan. Bad investment: Their behavior there was so breathtakingly brutal that they alienated their fellow Muslims in record time. Fighting enthusiastically beside the once-hated...

According to Ralph Peters’ latest NY Post column, al Qa’ida’s stock is about to bottom out. Col. Peters doesn’t think it’ll recover, either. Here’s his harshest words, directed at the Democrats, though he doesn’t do it by name: The partisan hacks who insisted that Iraq was a distraction from fighting al Qaeda have missed the situation’s [...]

Ralph Peters writes about victory in Iraq, but points out that Al Qaeda is now in its last stronghold, globally, where it can exist, operate in the open and coalesce into any fighting group large enough to directly attack US forces. Things are getting worse in Afghanistan and Pakistan not because our attention was elsewhere, but because al Qaeda has been driven from the Arab world, with nowhere else...

Ralph Peters has a great column on the sad shape al-Qaeda is in. Since Barrack Obama continues his ignorance, (or perhaps it is merely his pandering to his leftist base), on Iraq and the war on terror, this is a timely column. Obama continues to make the false claim that Iraq is not, nor never has been the central front on the war on terror. He seems oblivious to the claims of al-Qada and bin Laden...

Ralph Peters: IF you think the US markets have problems, look at the value of al Qaeda shares throughout the Muslim world: A high-flying political equity just a few years ago, its stock has tanked. It made the wrong strategic investments and squandered its moral capital. In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, Osama bin Laden was the darling of the Arab street, seen as the most successful Muslim in centuries....

During the July 15 edition of Fox News' America's Election HQ , columnist Ralph Peters, a retired Army lieutenant colonel, falsely suggested that Sen. Barack Obama has said that the United States "should send ground troops into Pakistan" and "invade the country through which we get our supplies." In fact, Obama has not said he would "invade" Pakistan. Rather, in his July 15 foreign policy speech Obama...

Ralph Peters: MY greatest worry on Iran's nuclear threat to civilization isn't the military option. It's trying that option on the cheap . If there's any way to block Tehran's pursuit of nukes short of warfare, I'm all for it. Maybe yesterday's dispatch of the No. 3 US diplomat to observe the European Union's talks with the mullahs about their nukes will work a miracle (don't hold your breath). Military...

Ralph Peters: ... We've all heard humorless America-haters promote themselves by announcing, As Thomas Jefferson said, "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism." The first problem with that self-righteous bull is that Jefferson never said it. On the contrary, he warned of the dangers of political dissension carried to extremes. The earliest traceable provenance of the slogan goes back to an obscure...
