Dr Rusty Shackleford at My Pet Jawa (damn I love that site name) has great news on the Iraq front with the capture of the head of Ansar al Sunna, Zarqawi’s old haunt before he became the Al Qaeda lead in Iraq (and possibly combined the two terrorist organizations – my speculation). Taking down the […]

Update: It seems clear now the intel that is solid is that saying Bin Laden is ill. What is tragic about all this is now Bin Laden knows his hideout is not so hidden. His security is right now trying to find out how the Saudis knew he was sick (if he is sick). If […]

I have been predicting the most interesting front on the War on Terror is going on in the Northern Regions of Pakistan and its Waziristan Provence. Recently Pakistan worked out a peace accord with the Taliban and Tribal lords in this region. In return for a peaceful existence the region cannot house terrorists. Well it […]

Not sure what to make of these posts about a possible Nuke attack in the US. I would expect to see lots and lots of increased and visible security if there were a serious threat of a multi-pronged attack.

The Democrats have really screwed themselves this year, and we are only seeing the beginning of the damage they have done to themselves. A year or two of claiming Bush is a fear monger culminated in the foiling of a spectacular new 9-11 plot in the UK. This was followed by a laundry list of […]

Remember 9-11? How could we less than a week from the 5th anniversary of the horrific day. Do we recall how stunned we were that we had let Al Qaeda kill 3000 innocent Americans, only to find we had tied a legal blindfold over our eyes so that once terrorist forces reached our shores they […]

You can tell when President Bush believes something with all his soul, he delivers it with an intensity that is crystal clear. The President’s speech sounded the perfect note for this 5th anniversary of 9-11. Bush rightfully noted that we have not been attacked again since 9-11, and that is due to his pro-active actions […]
