It has been too many years since the nation experienced the frightening anthrax attacks in 2001, but now it seems investigators are narrowing in on some suspects – finally: he FBI has narrowed its focus to “about four” suspects in the 6 1/2-year investigation of the deadly anthrax attacks of 2001, and at least three […]

So many armchair experts (or propaganda artists in the fashion of Nazi Joseph Goebbels) have been claiming al-Sadr’s capitulation in the fighting in Iraq was a blow to Maliki. Strange logic there, but one indication of a Sadr win would be dancing in the streets of Basra and Sadr City in Baghdad. Where is it? […]

Many politicians sound so impressive to the untrained ear. They can talk for hours and make no commitments while promising heaven and earth for free. Well, engineers (and lawyers and doctors as well I assume) have their own method of saying a lot – and nothing at all: This is how we ended up with […]

There is a “Great Depression” coming – but it is not a financial phenomena. It is a narcissistic and gluttonous obsession that is emanating from the psychotic bowels of a dying industry – the liberal news media.

Here is some truly interesting news that is very much counter to much of the reporting that is coming out of Pakistan. It seems the tribal leaders in one of the agencies of FATA where Bin Laden is thought to be hiding out are ready to hand him over to authorities (probably for a price): […]

It seems my speculation on which way the new Pakistan government are being born out with reporting in the LA Times today (not your typical right wing news outlet). When it comes to relations with the United States, the public mood is angry. It is highly likely that some U.S. military actions routinely allowed under […]

So what if Obama and Clinton end up crippling each other over the next few months (which appears inevitable now) what should the dems do? Well, one thing I suggest they do not do is dump both Clinton and Obama and go with Al Gore, who ran a ridiculously inept run for President in 2000. […]

Radical Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr has called off his militia in southern Iraq and submitted his terms for his forces to stop fighting (terms for their surrender): Iraqi Shia cleric Moqtada Sadr has ordered his fighters off the streets of Basra and other cities in an effort to end clashes with security forces. He said […]
