So terrorists ARE streaming into Iraq

Terrorists, oh, excuse me, insurgents, are just coming to Iraq from everywhere: A French citizen has been identified among insurgents killed by US forces in Iraq, a French newspaper reports. The 19-year-old, named as Redouane, is said to have died in a US air raid on Falluja on 17 July, says Le Figaro. He is […]

So You Want to Be a Hammas Leader?

With all the leaders in Hammas, Hezbollah, etc, that Israel has wacked over the last 5 months or so, what is one more? Hamas say one of the men killed was Adnan al-Ghoul, a senior figure in the organisation’s military wing. Adnan al-Ghoul had been on Israel’s wanted list for over 15 years and had […]

Capitulation doesn’t work

Captain Ed has a good article about the 7 terrorists caught in Spain recently. They were planning to blow up the Spanish High Court. So much for electing an anti-Iraq War government and pulling a cut-n-run from Iraq. This is why you give terrorists zip. Nada. Ziltch. Like a bad horror movie, they come back. […]

Bruce needs Valium. Lots

Video of Bruce Springsteen going, well, standard Liberal insane. I wonder if the Boss has taken lessons from Al Gore or Howard Dean? (hat tip to QandO)

Brave Soldiers

Isn’t it funny how stories like this rarely make it to the MSM? FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) — George Perez lost his leg to a roadside bomb in Iraq more than a year ago, but despite the phantom pains that haunt him, he says he is determined to prove to the Army that he is […]

Blix and the WMD

Captain Ed has a post regarding Hans Blix and his prewar reports on Iraqi WMD (The Captain gives a hat tip to Secure Liberty.) Blix himself reported back to the UNSC that Saddam was not cooperating — which made the inspections pointless. Inspections can only confirm compliance; they cannot reliably determine locations and stocks of […]

So NC Isn’t a Target?

Kamran Akhtar, a Pakistani native, pled guilty to several charges in Federal Court this morning. He is the man who was caught video taping buildings in Charlotte, NC. Kamran Akhtar reportedly signed a deal last week agreeing to spend up to six months in prison before being deported to his native Pakistan. Appearing in court […]

Afghanistan Elections

I am rather disppointed in the MSM. News of the Afghany elections occuring Saturday, Afghanistan time (8 1/2 hours ahead of East Coast Time), are buried in most sites. FoxNews, CNN, MSNBC, Yahoo News, and so on. None have any story on the front page. Fox does have a little blurb on their side scroll, […]

Gotta Admire the Dedication

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana (AP) — A man on trial for taking a kindergartner hostage leaped up in court Wednesday and slashed his public defender with a razor blade. Barbette Williams, 48, of New Orleans was booked with attempted second-degree murder for injuring lawyer Bert Garraway. There’s a good idea, even if Garraway is a Public […]

Syria Making Nice with Israel

This is good news if it comes true: Syrian President Bashar Assad is offering to make peace with Israel and says he is ready to cooperate with the United States in stabilizing Iraq, a former senior State Department official said Wednesday. In a three-hour meeting with the Syrian president last month in Damascus, Indyk said […]
