Having no other problems to contend with, hardline Islamists “insurgents” in Somalia have launched a truth in advertising campaign…

I don’t disagree that top military brass probably ought not be out voicing opinions that oppose the C&C unless given a green light by the same. So I don’t really feel Gates or the C&C is wrong in instructing their people to keep their opinions to themselves.
But what I do find ironic is that […]

Nothing to see here folks, move along… move along…

The disappearance of Flight 447 reminds us of TWA Flight 800 Case the public explanation of which never resembled eyewitnesses. The first attempt on the towers and TWA 800 are among the many incidents illustrating the long run up, under Bill Clinton’s watch, to the September 11th attacks…

I certainly hope they have more than what they’re showing.. when the news said the pictures were “graphic” I assumed they meant in a violent sense rather than in a OMG he’s naked! sense. Anyway, as I said I would hope there is more than that since the image that was chosen doesn’t reflect […]

Five where convicted by a Federal jury of trying join forces with al-Qaida to topple Chicago’s Sears Tower and bomb FBI offices in hopes of igniting an anti-government insurrection.
So why isn’t this news?
Oh! Can’t have the public realize there really are bad guys in the world who are out to kill us. […]

As Putin dispatches bombers to Venezuela he is warning US not to start a new arms race as the bombers don’t have nuclear weapons aboard. Like we’d believe their statement, they’re sending supersonic bombers to a nation openly aligning themselves as an Enemy of the U.S..
What he wants is to delay us from seeing that […]

Follow the invasion at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia off-shore website. Seems the Soviets, er… KGB, er… Russians cut off Georgian government websites….

Mr. West asks, now that The War in Iraq Is Over. What Next?
For the first time in 15 trips across the country, I didn’t hear one shot or a single blast from a roadside bomb. In Anbar Province, scene of the fiercest fighting during the war, the tribal sheiks insisted to Barack Obama on his […]

Remember all that Archaeological looting of Iraqi antiquities that was reported as being due to our entering Iraq? Well, guess what… like many other anti- American media stories it simply wasn’t true. Go figure.

Those non-existent WMD’s from Iraq? Yeah, well they just moved a 500 tons of uranium from Iraq to Canada…. Of course the Administration never said they would find any, only that they were trying to build them, and I think 500 tons of low grade Uranium, some in various states of refinement, counts under […]

While Der Spiegel writes of a a brighter future in baghdad National public Radio writes of Insurgents Turn Themselves In to U.S., Iraqi Troops. There ought to be some cut-and-run Democrats a bit worried….

Here is something right out of the Stalin playbook, Chavez is behind the Colombian revolutionaries which are causing the “strife” between the 2 nations. What the USSR did all around its borders to justify their expansion….

Next time you buy something Made in China from Walmart stop and consider where your money is going. Just who do you think China will be facing that they’ll need all this new weaponry? Hint, it isn’t Russia…

The video of Navy missile hitting the satellite is a must see. I don’t really care if it was a weapons test, an effort to protect secrets on the bird or to keep 2500 pounds of scrap from wiping out a village in Africa. The SM3 did its job so all 3 may well have […]

I’m all for protecting the whales and all but outside 12 miles I’m firmly behind the President being the commander in chief. I cannot see a government regulatory department being able to override the President and this ruling is a violation of the separation of power. We’ll see what happens but in the meantime […]

If this surprises you then you lead a horribly sheltered, unimaginative and unobservant life. So don’t bother reading it, it’ll only make you certain it’s just another fantasy conspiracy because to believe it would mean pulling your head out and doing something. So go back to your big screen and forget you’ve read this post. […]

I have to wonder if these mysterious counterfeit $100 bills have anything to do wtih the rapid devaluation of US currency over the last 18 months. There were certainly concerns about press technology given to Iran many years ago..?

I guess Russia’s 1st Nuke shipment to Iran confirms that recent report that Iran has ceased development of their nuclear ambition, yes?

Remember in the 90’s when Conservatives were bashing Clinton for allowing satellite technology to be transfered to China? The media kept it as low profile as possible covering it only when the few independent newsies of the day shamed them into it.
Well that bird has come home to roost now that we’re finding […]

Thanks to the democrats Turkey is pissed off at not only the Kurd rebels killing Turk troops but the United States for condemning them for the acts of the Ottomans. So rather than work within the diplomatic framework that the Armenian Genocide resolution destroyed there are 80,000 Turkish troops on the Iraqi border and they’re […]

It does the heart good to occasionally read positive news on Iraq in a mainstream rag and for the most part the Telegraph story Iraq insurgency: People rise against al-Qa’eda speaks to the success of the “surge” and that the Iraqi citizenry is waking up to the fact this this is their fight, too.

All the talk over Iraq and the war seems to be eclipsing things like the Russian army testing big bombs, mounting bomber patrols and Putin’s dissolving of the government. The media and politicians are complicit.

When the wall came down and the old Empire crumbled a lot of optimists thought that was the end of the Soviet system. And while it may have been the end of that system it certainly was not the end of the Russian Bear nor their military ambitions. Putin has been rattling his saber for […]

Want to know why western culture will lose the war against the islamic jihad? Because our delicate sensitivities cannot handle a battlefield of children. In a sense we’ve been here before. During Vietnam; a child sent running toward GIs with a live grenade - the GIs are then in an impossible position […]
