Since the US refuses to exploit it’s own oil supplies we must rely on other countries. Recent oil discoveries in Brazil, Columbia, Peru and Mexico could shift the energy focus away from the Middle East to Latin America. Unfortunately, the Democrats recently blocked trade agreements with Columbia thus creating an adversarial relationship. […]

With Pakistan politics roiling the concern of Islamists gaining control of a nuclear weapon is front and center. I have wondered about Bhutto and who she is or was, what her politics are and what effect her gaining control would have in Pakistan. Seems to me she has been presented as a leader […]

Update on Dec. 3,2007 - I’m sorry to report the CAIR bear photo is no longer available. I uploaded the image to imageshack (my online photo service) and they have censored the photo. I only recently noticed this due to all the searches for the CAIR bear. Unfortunately when […]

Herbert Meyer writes about the real war today:
Perception One: We’re at War
Perception Two: We’re Reaping What We’ve Sowed
snip…Either way, it is the ongoing war about the war that accounts for where we are today, nearly six years after the 9-11 attacks: We haven’t lost, but we aren’t winning; fewer of us have been killed by […]

Yes, you read that right.  Who better to mediate a release than Carter?
Former President Jimmy Carter has stepped forward and offered to mediate the escalating crisis between Iran and Britain over 15 British marines seized by Iran for allegedly entering their territorial waters.
“As everyone knows, I have tremendous hands-on experience in handling a crisis of […]

Here’s a must read from American Digest. Thanks to AlphaPatriot who linked via Dissecting Leftism’s  post on “The Self-Abusing Dreamers We Have To Cope With”. 
Four years in. An inch of time. Four years in and the foolish and credulous among us yearn to get out. Their feelings require it. The power of their Holy […]

This story is about a conversation with an Israeli Arab Christian.  They talk about how the bungled Israeli war with Hezbollah and US war in Iraq has emboldened the whole Muslim world.
The Coming War with Islam by Solly Ganor
“As a matter of fact, the whole Moslem world, not only the Arabs, simply couldn’t […]

From Annie Jacobsen we hear about another possible dry run by 2 to 4 Middle Eastern types on a flight from Paris to Miami.  Anybody hear anything about it?  Didn’t think so.  I’d guess this occurred sometime in Jan. of 2007.  Interestingly this was the same flight (Flight 63) taken by “shoe bomber” Richard Reid […]

This is a must read essay.  Maybe this will illuminate the importance of just what is being fought in this war against the Islamists today.
I can’t emphasize enough for you all to go read this essay!  After you read it then go and vote at Real Clear Politics.

Thanks to Capt Doug Traversa (Afghanistan without a clue) for posting this letter. Actually, Caitlin came up with the Frontpage link in Doug’s comments.
This letter encapsulates my fears about the so-called “Peaceful Majority” in not only the US but the world. I could add to peaceful the adjectives lazy, self-absorbed, misguided, uniformed, ignorant, anti-American, isolationistic, […]

Headline: U.S. general: No evidence Iran is arming Iraqis
Sub-headline: Pace contradicts claims by other U.S. military, administration officials
Actual quote from General Pace:
“That does not translate that the Iranian government per se, for sure, is directly involved in doing this,” Pace told reporters in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta. “What it does say is that things made […]

Here’s the story from Newschannel5 of Nashville:
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. Police are on the lookout for a man described as being of Middle Eastern descent who tried to gain access to a firearms plant in Murfreesboro.
Rutherford County sheriff’s deputies were called to the Barrett Firearms Manufacturing plant Thursday. A plant employee reported on Wednesday that a Middle […]

This is going to be interesting.  About time the pressure started in an overt action.
The troops raided the building at about 0300 (0001GMT), taking away computers and papers, according to Kurdish media and senior local officials.
snip…..Iranian media said the country’s embassy in Baghdad had sent a letter of protest about the raid to the Iraqi […]

Looks like the pressure is increasing not abating on the issue of the Muslim airport cab drivers at the Mpls/St. Paul airport.  Ed at Captain’s Quarters has extended the issue beyond liquor and service dogs.
From Youssef Ibrahim of the NY Sun:

Even if one could dismiss such shenanigans as a humorous episode that escaped nationwide […]

Herschel Smith at Captain’s Journal writes what is involved to win this war in Iraq which really is more than the war in Iraq.  It’s a regional conflict involving Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordon, etc…..
Primarily though the US strategy should target Syria to lock down the sieve called a border with Iraq. 
Iraq is […]

I’m not saying George W. Bush is my hero as Ed Koch says but Koch conveys many valid points about GW and his stand against radical Islamism. There are many things I don’t understand with GW and his foreign policy regarding Saudi Arabia, his pro-illegal alien stance and even his spending proclivities. But […]

Katherine Kerstin who is the token Conservative columnist for the Mpls. Strib gives us some information on terror links and who is supporting the imams claims of “racism” and bigotry.  One of the imam’s spokesmen seems to have a history for “dry” runs which dates back to 1999.
Earlier, the FBI had investigated Al-Qudhai’een’s involvement in […]

Powerline has received an email from an Airport Policeman who talks about the Imam incident and more……
You tell me there isn’t an agenda here and I’ll then know you aren’t interested in the truth.
Here’s an excerpt from the email:
Please keep on this kind of stuff that happens at our airport. I have worked their now […]

The two most recent stories which lend credibility to an agenda of diminishing our national security while using our Constitution and the Courts to undermine everything that is not Muslim. Those stories are the flying imams and the building of the mosque in Katy, Tx.
The is a perfect example of the undermining of our security.  These […]

This Global Incident Map is really cool.  For those who don’t believe terrorism is a big deal or that the only terrorism which exists today is centered in Iraq and Afghanistan, maybe this could open their eyes.  But then I won’t hold my breath since facts usually seem to get in the way of those non-believers.
Oh […]

As is usually the situation, there’s more to the story.  Looks like at least one of the Imams has links to a terrorist supporting Islamic charity.  Also, apparently the men were doing more than loudly chanting allah, allah.  They were making anti-American Saddam supporting political comments.  Oh and they were also asking for seatbelt extenders, […]

Passengers passed a note to a flight attendent noting strange behavior of the Middle Eastern men. 
U.S. Airway officials tell 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS’ Aviation Expert Bob McNaney that Monday while Flight 300 was preparing to take off from Minneapolis to Phoenix, a passenger passed a note to a flight attendant saying they noticed ’suspicious behavior,’ among […]
