Last night Fox news reported that American casualties are higher in Afghanistan than in Iraq for the second month running. Our media has gone dark on Iraq reporting with the exception of Maliki’s declarations about hastening American withdrawal which can be spun without admiting American success in Iraq. Thorough examination of the facts however yields […]
Post from Oliver North in Real Clear politics. You should read the whole thing.
My “colleagues” in the so-called mainstream media gladly roll their cameras and recorders for those who assert that “McCain is not a real conservative” or who say, “I can never support him,” and the ones claiming, “I just won’t vote this year.” […]
Senior Qaeda Theologian Urges His Followers To End Their Jihad
In a serialized manifesto written from prison in Egypt, Sayyed Imam al-Sharif is blasting Osama bin Laden for deceiving the Taliban leader, Mullah Omar, and for insulting the Prophet Muhammad by comparing the September 11 attacks to the early raids of the Ansar warriors. The lapsed […]
Ted Kennedy, Congresssional Dems and Media are all in a kerfuffle about some missing tapes which would have proved that CIA tortured a terrorist. I am providing a link, if anyone is interested enough to read it. link
I suspect most of you are not interested in reading it. I understand.
Let me make […]
Speaking from the cave, Bin Hidin’ Laden is promising a new video to commemorate 9/11. On this video we don’t expect him to discuss the recent busted bombers in Germany, or the flaming failed physicians of Glasgow, or even the recent loss of his former stronghold in Fallujah. We don’t expect him to discuss the […]
From CNN.com regarding President Bush’s radio address this morning:
Overall, Bush said al Qaeda and other extremists are under withering attack.
“Since January,” he said, “each month we have killed or captured an average of more than 1,500 al Qaeda terrorists and other enemies of Iraq’s elected government.”
That’s about 12,000 DEAD terrorists since January alone! […]
NYT is conflating fiction with fact. This story is as confusing as it is stupid. I’m dumber for having read it. The thrust is this: President Bush is confusing the Iraq War with the war on terror. The Al Qaeda that is in Iraq is different from the Al Qaeda who attacked us on 9/11. […]
If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there, does it still make a sound?
If reporters for the main stream media aren’t there, does a battle happen?
The answer is yes, and as Michael Yon reports, it seems to be going well.
The enemy in Baqubah is as good as any in Iraq, and […]
Found this article in the NY Daily News, hat tip to Counterterrorism Blog. Notice the time frame for the increase in the tempo… As the rhetoric from the Democrats and the left demanding troop withdrawals from Iraq increases, so to does the chatter among terrorists. Â
WASHINGTON - The FBI has increased its use of secret search warrants over the […]
Dean Barnett writing at Hugh Hewitt’s blog has a story that will chill you to the bone, The Al Qaeda Torture Manual. The torture manual was found at a raid on an al Qaeda safe-house in Iraq. The link to the manual at The Smoking Gun is Torture, Al-Qaeda Style.
The photos are too […]
No wonder Democrats are trying to undermine this war as fast as possible. From Time.com:
There is good news from Iraq, believe it or not. It comes from the most unlikely place: Anbar province, home of the Sunni insurgency. The level of violence has plummeted in recent weeks. An alliance of U.S. troops and local […]
President Bush will announce in a speech at the Coast Guard Academy today, that Bin Laden had ordered Al-Zarqawi to plan attacks in the US (that would be the now dead Al Zarqawi):
in the spring of 2005, bin Laden instructed Hamza Rabia, a senior operative, to brief al-Zarqawi on al-Qaida plan to attack sites outside […]
From the Chicago Tribune:
BEIRUT — An obscure Palestinian group with ties to Al Qaeda and perhaps to Syrian intelligence has emerged virtually overnight as the latest threat to Lebanon’s fragile stability.
More here.
And we can thank Spkr Pelosi’s affirming visit to Assad in Syria, who is the likely culprit. She effectively destabilized a fledgling democracy. The […]
If you think American muslims are moderates, think again.
Britons were shocked that the muslims who bombed the London Tube were Londoners.
And it can happen here…

You are a graduate of Egypt’s Al-Azhar University, the foremost religious school in Sunni Islam. You’ve grown up in Egypt, earned a BA, MA and PhD from the prestigious academy, […]
Yesterday as I enjoyed my Mother’s Day, all I could think of was the fate of the 3 soldiers missing from the Sunni “triangle of death”. I thought of their mothers who thankfully probably did not know that their sons were taken. Today al Qaeda (remember, they are NII according to […]
