Encouraging National Suicide

Monday, June 7th, 2010

Palestinian apologists just don't get it.  The Nation calls the Israeli blockade of Gaza "inexcusable".  They bemoan the plight of the people in Gaza due to the Israeli opposition to the ruling Hamas terrorists.  Those people ELECTED the Hamas terrorists.  As the Obamessiah's legions are fond of saying, elections have ...

Why it is taking so long to train the Iraq Army…

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

I just thought I would pass this along. If you have ever been on any kind of joint training exercise in partnership with any third world military, this scene will probably look familiar to you. I know I saw shades of working with the Honduran Army back in the 80's Why Iraq ...

Obama and Iran: Cool Under Fire

Friday, June 19th, 2009

Pat Buchanan is correct:  In the Great Game, President Obama's non-interference in Iran's ' Square moment' (Buchanan's phrase) is smart.  We are not liked by any faction of significance in Iran, and our support would amount to a de facto kiss of death.  Not only that, but we cannot ...

Cheney: Saddam not involved with the 9/11 attacks

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Thanks, Dick, for clearing that up, almost seven years after the fact.  Even though the allegation that Saddam was involved with 9/11 was never used by the previous Administration, per se, it was certainly not something that they disabused the American public, many, if not most of whom, thought Saddam ...

EIT or Not

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

Mychael Massie contends that "EIT" (enhanced interrogation techniques) aren't "enhanced" at all but are normal.  Not just normal but that which SHOULD be used.  To pursue this argument he compares the interrogations severity to the beheadings conducted by terrorists.  This is a fallacious comparison in the context of civilized behavior ...

The Pirate Story, a deeper look

Friday, April 24th, 2009

This was submitted by a reader as something he received from a retired Naval Captain. ========= Your "Real" story is not exactly the way I heard it, and probably has a few political twists thrown in to stir the pot.  Rather than me trying to correct it, I'll just tell you what ...

Who put the Mental in Fundamentalist?

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

I think that this article on CNN’s web site today illustrates the futility of trying to deal with extremist organizations like the Taliban. It is this kind of mindset that we cannot eradicate through force of arms unless we intend to take it to a genocidal level. The only ...

Honor Still Lives!

Sunday, April 12th, 2009

Congratulations to President Obama, the U.S. Navy and the brave merchant sea captain on his rescue.  According to a story linked to Drudge, President Obama twice authorized the use of force.  Bravo - T.R. would be proud.

Why Not Q-Ships?

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

     Pirates would be more circumspect in  their actions if someone started using Q-hips off the Horn of Africa.  A World War One innovation to deal with U-boats, Q-ships were cargo ships fitted with fake deck houses that concealed guns (U-boats had to surface to torpedo ships then, and used ...
