Its all going according to The Plan, Ariel Sharon's Plan.  Or at least, that's what I think so far.  If you pay attention to the news at all you know that Israel is at war right now in Gaza and Lebanon.  You've no need to look here for coverage of who is planning what or […]

You'll see and hear a lot about this in the news over the next few days I would expect, but at a minimum this announcement means one clear thing:  Saddam Hussein was in violation of U.N. mandates and the treaty signed at the end of the first Gulf War that ended hostilities.  It is really […]

Many people have this lingering perception that everything is going wrong in the U.S., and especially in Iraq, and that consequently our military MUST be having problems recruiting.  There was a spate of stories a bit over a year ago making that case when the military was missing quotas for a few months, but of […]

Nothing really new to report on the Iranian project to develop nuclear weapons while flaunting the fact to the U.N. and the so called "World Community".  Their plan is continuing to work since they’ve allied with Russia and China to protect their interests by preventing any serious action in the U.N. Security Council.  The U.S. […]

This cartoon is funny because its true.  From Cox and Forkum editorial cartoonists extraordinaire.  The fearful Pacifist sheep confuse the armed U.S. shepherd for the Iranian wolf.  The dynamic over Iran explained in one image. Kudos to Cox and Forkum .

The reluctance of the Bush Administration to act more aggressively towards Iran has raised a lot of talk about why that is.  One of the possible answers has been that there have been various reports and rumors swirling around for a while that Iran already has nuclear warheads procured from another state like Pakistan or […]

There’s timely news, and then there’s timely news, and … well this is both really… or either, take your pick.   I posted recently that it looked like the State Department was following procedure in giving the Taliban’s former PR man, Mr. Sayed Rhmatullah Hashemi, a number of visas to get into the U.S. […]

Shortly after posting my question about how on earth Taliban Man, a.k.a. Sayed Rhmatullah Hashemi, got a visa so he could actually attend Yale I received an email from Clint Taylor of the Nail Yale Blog at Townhall with a few answers.  Not all of the answers mind you, because most of these […]

The Bush Administration isn’t the only one raising the stakes and blustering to gain position for the ongoing struggle over Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and leverage over events in Iraq.  Iran is on a roll this past week with several announcements of testing new missiles and torpedoes leading to this current statement.  The message is a […]

The nation has been awash with outrage for weeks about the Taliban’s front man being admitted to Yale of all places.  Now there is a 9/11 survivor trying to ask the Yale administration for an explanation , any explanation for their behavior.  That is an excellent question that deserves to be answered, though I’m not […]

Abdul Rahman escaped to Italy with some help from International sources.  Thanks to all involved in making it happen.  The good news from Yahoo News (hat tip to LGF for the link):

Abdul Rahman might give birth to the new contemporary Crusades.  The Crusades began you will note because of Muslim abuses of the Holy Lands and other arocities against Christianity.  We are very close to the rebirth of ancient Holy War.

The Russian and Chinese governments have come out together to jointly say that they oppose serious measures to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons.  They insist on peaceful diplomacy as the only acceptable resolution to the growing crisis, and since both have vetos on the U.N. Security Council they are stopping any attempts to use […]

There are times in the diplomatic process of international relations that a nation must expend considerable effort to determine the true intentions of another nation which is keeping its plans and motives secret.  The escalating confrontation with Iran about its pursuit of nuclear weapons is not one of them.  The new Iranian President is only […]

Finally.  After years of failed negotiations that the Iranians had no reason to take seriously the Bush Administration is reported to have arrived at the only possible solution:  remove the Mad Mullahs from power and get someone in Iran in charge who isn’t primarily interested in nuking the West and Israel.  Here’s the lede from […]

President Bush’s policies on domestic security and international trade create effects that are logically foreseeable and politically powerful.  There are positive benefits obviously, and that is the intention.  But the negative effects have been ignored for many reasons, and in being ignored they have grown in the darkness to be much more powerful than they […]

The Iranian Mullahs have heard the vague threats coming from the West and the rest, and clearly they are just not impressed to put it mildly.  I think it is fair to say they have contempt for weak Western leaders in general and the U.S. in particular. So they have replied to the Vice President’s […]

The systematic campaign of the Iranians to diplomatically delay and divide while they develop nuclear weapons is nearly at an end.  The last major partner in this sham diplomacy was Russia, and even they now have figured out the Iranian’s aren’t serious and have given up.  Here’s the lede :

Jim Geraghty on TKS at NationalReview.com has written lately about the movement in the American public that he sees as a ‘Tipping Point’ in our view of Muslims.  I highly recommend reading at least two of his recent posts on the subject.  Here’s a quote from the original post :
