Obama’s First Six Months: The Fail
Domestic
Even being kind and peering through rose-colored glasses won’t give the appearance that President Obama has succeeded in his major policy initiatives – especially when you look at real data from his first two quarters in office.
The biggest challenge he talked about in the final days of election season was [...]

Hamas Terror Tactics in the Gaza Strip
This video released by the IDF demonstrates the terror tactics employed by Hamas, their infrastructure and their logistics. The tactics include civilian shields, booby traps designed to take out civilians as IDF forces enter, and “shoot and scoot” urban warfare similar to that seen in Iraq. Urban warfare tactics [...]

“The Butterfly”
The last, the very last,
So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow.
Perhaps if the sun’s tears would sing
against a white stone. . . .
Such, such a yellow
Is carried lightly ‘way up high.
It went away I’m sure because it wished to
kiss the world good-bye.
For seven weeks I’ve lived in here,
Penned up inside this ghetto.
But I have found what [...]

Israeli Air Force at Auschwitz
Tomorrow is Yom HaShoah – Holocaust Remembrance day, here’s a video from 2003 of a ceremony to remember what it was, as well as what will ever be truer. Out of those dark furnaces came new resolve, new courage, and ultimately a resurrected nation.
“Triumph of the Return” – On September 4, [...]

Here’s a must see protest video from Mere Rhetoric – in it you will calls for genocide against Israel, direct support for Hamas and Hezbolloh, children dressed as shaheed, and of course many cries of Aloha Snackbar! This in Toronto Canada where Mark Steyn was put on trial for expressing mild disaproval of Islam.

Hamas Uses Ceasefire to Fire Rockets at Israel From Schools
IDF Video showing Hamas already moving back into schools to fire rockets at Israel
Meanwhile here’s an Al Arabiya reporter who thinks it’s humorous that Hamas just launched rockets at Israel from under their studio. She has no idea what counterbattery fire is, and is lucky that [...]

I still believe Bill to be the worst sort of racist, those that profess not to be prejudiced while savaging by word and deed the people they are supposedly not prejudiced against; all the while maintaining a tone of high-brow snooty moral superiority. Stating that you are one of the good people does not make you one.

It’s Mosque Nichts
When you hide anti aircraft weapons, mortars, and missiles in a Mosque then there shouldn’t be an outcry as there was if it becomes a military target. See the video below.

Hezbollah Fires Rockets from Lebanon Under UNIFIL’s Noses
Carl at Israel Matzav has the details here. Whether this was a single perfunctory signal of solidarity with Hamas, or whether there will be more to come remains to be seen.

Flags at Ft. Scott
It’s been busy lately and my spare time has been spent following the Israeli-Hamas war in Gaza, so posting has been light and probably will be for a while. If you want to follow the conflict I recommend Israel Matzav (Israel just got another Hamas Leader,) Lawhawk (US) Israellycool (AU,) Carl’s in Israel, [...]

Israel Strikes Back
After weeks of missiles and some heavy barrages the past few days Israel has struck back at HAMAS in the Gaza strip for their continual rocket attacks. 200 in Gaza are reported as dead, but since it’s mostly Palestinian stringers and they are putting things on the wire through the HAMAS censor it’s hard to [...]

As a followup to yesterday’s story on Hamid Gul, Bill Roggio has made some queries and has a solid report up at The Long War Journal. Well worth your your time to read.

There’s now a leaked confession in India from the one live terrorist out to the news, and it made the rounds yesterday. It came out very fast, and I’ll withold judgement on its veracity until more of the real evidence comes out. The confession does lay out a realistic timeline, but there are a few [...]

A long while back I said something to the effect that we won in Iraq the day we crossed the border, that ultimately victory itself would be defined by how long we needed to stay and by how perfect we want to leave Iraq. There are still some strides to make, some terrorists to kill, [...]

First McCain did come off the best in this debate. Both candidates scored important points and talked to their base, however throughout the debate McCain talked to the middle as well and managed to score with all of America again and again.
He scored great points with his tough talk on economics and cutting spending while [...]

Most Americans would not recognize the acronym “BMD” or understand its meaning, but Ballistic Missile Defense is a keystone to our strategic defense systems as well as those of NATO.
Russia, China, and a raft of third world thugs and dictators are as openly and adamantly opposed to the program as Obama is.
James Lewis at American Thinker [...]

Israel has begun testing it’s new “Iron Dome” missile defense system, this was selected instead of the joint US-Israel Nautilus system which was mothballed after doubts arose. Carl at Israel Matzav has his doubts as well about Iron Dome, preferring an active offense to passive defense.

In this brief interview you will see Baitullah Mehsud, leader of TTP, or Pakistan’s Taliban, deny the assasination of Benazir Bhutto (methinks he doth protest too oft and too much…) as well as praise Bin Laden. He states that Bin Laden is not “in this region”, but they would do whatever he asks.
Then he goes on to exhort the [...]
