Iran and North Korea: random thought

The left keeps telling us that W took his eye off the ball, and missed OBL (or UBL: whatever). Yet they want to “do something” about North Korea and Iran. Could any liberal out there explain what those 2 countries have to do with OBL and Al Queda? Kerry and Edwards sure seem like they […]

War Musing

Just a random thought. The Lefties continually say “Iraq never attacked us!” Did Afghanistan attack us? Did the Taliban attack us? Did either attack the 25 countries who initially were involved in the war in Afghanistan? Sure, there is that NATO treaty that says if one is attacked, all are attacked, and shall help respond. […]

Saddam’s Sand Box

I have some photos of Iraqi jets being uncovered in the deserts of Iraq. They are Mig-25’s, and some seem to have been aquired after the Gulf War. You may have heard about them, but, maybe like me, you haven’t seen them. (Using some of my storage on another site, photos are byte hogs) I […]

Oak the National Tree?

Second, what reaction do you have to the not-very-upbeat news coming […]

al-Zawahri caught?

Interesting article from the Jerusalem Post: Top Bin Laden deputy Ayman al-Zawahri has been caught in Pakistan, according to a report from the region quoted on Israel Radio Monday. Pakistani forces operating against al Qaida strongholds in the country report capturing the Egyptian national, who was formerly the head of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, which […]

CNN story of the day

Interesting how this is one of their lead stories on their wesite. Too bad I heard about this last thursday on the Bob and Tom Show. CNN seems to be behind the curve at times.

Here we go again

I truly love when people from around the world discuss US law. Here we have a BBC article, albeit written by a Seattle resident, discussing the Patriot Act. Not one person or organization seems to be able to answer the question “has anyone been negatively affected improperly by the Patriot Act?” The author discusses the […]

Are you KIDDING me?!

BTW, just in case y’all didn’t know, I live in Raleigh, NC. Have lived through multiple hurricanes and tropical systems here. By my count, NC is now 6 for 12, with the possiblity of Ivan sliding back up, and Jeanne hitting full on.
