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 […]

North Korea is acting up again, having fueled a new missile with dramatically longer range for a test.  The reports of the range of this new missile are conflicting and range from "possibly reaching Alaska" to "possibly reaching any place in the continental US".  Most reports agree it will be able to hit some targets […]

There is the longstanding and ongoing debate between those who primarily favor "stability" in the world, and those who favor change.  It used to be that it was Conservatives that made the case for Realpolitik and continued "stability" while the Leftward side of the political spectrum argued constantly for "progressive change" if not outright sweeping […]

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 […]

The third most important Al Quaeda target in the world was killed in Iraq yesterday at long last.  This is mostly a collection of overviews and link collections, plus a bit of commentary by me of course, so please click on the links if you haven’t seen these sites yet.  Zarqawi’s killing is being covered […]

I just got off the phone with a teacher who is a friend of mine.  He said the school where he teaches said nothing about Memorial Day other than to cheerfully remind the children that they had a 3 day weekend!  Woohoo!  A 3 day weekend!  Only the name was mentioned once and nothing was […]

Its been a long time coming but your average Joe in the U.S. Army Infantry is now beginning to get some real tech gear.  The Joint Chiefs just love their big toys but the current War on Terror is as much as anything else more often than not an infantry battle happening at a time […]

President Bush spoke tonight about his immigration reform plan saying precisely the things that had been leaked beforehand.  Bush clearly was giving the speech in a hope to prop up his disastrously declining support in the nation as we approach the fall election.  His effort was a miserable failure because he wasn’t honest about […]

News of President Bush and the Republican Congress losing support due to increasing anger from the Republican base is all over the Internet today.  This should not be a shock to anyone who actually knows many Republicans… which is likely why our mainstream reporter types just clued in to the phenomenon.  Or maybe they knew […]

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. […]

Word is out today that the CIA has fired an employee after an investigation that resulted in said employee admitting to releasing operational secret information to reporters.  The CIA has been leaking so much lately that many have wondered if the Agency was so hopelessly politicized and compromised as to make its critical national security […]

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 .

Hat tip to OpFor for the link.

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 […]

The only immigration reform that will have any credibility is one that first and foremost reasserts our national sovereignty and control of who comes to our nation.  Any discussion of granting legal status to millions of lawbreakers that doesn’t first ensure that no more will come will only succeed in making the situation much worse.

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 […]

Our current immigration system isn’t working for much of anyone, its broken and it needs to be fixed badly.  The current immigration and non-enforcement system both leaves our nation totally unprotected from hostile people and at the same time is enough of a barrier that it is just getting a bunch of people who just […]

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 […]

There’s a really quick way to know if any Immigration Reform is in fact any such thing, and it is this:  the proposed plan is a complete sham, a deliberate scam, if it grants any kind of legal status to current illegal immigrants before effective measures have already taken control in order to prevent even […]

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 […]
