It is becoming almost a foregone conclusion that al-Qaeda’s brain trust us held up in the Waziristan region of Pakistan, based on reporting such as this: AL-QAEDA’S safe haven on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border is still almost inpenetrable to NATO forces. And US intelligence chiefs feel the mountain region inhabited by tribes loyal to Osama bin […]

The UK is on some kind of strange PR stunt over the Litvinenko case – either that or their intelligence assets just aren’t as good as one would think. The UK tried to bolster the Litvinenko assassination angle by having Litivinenko’s boss, Boris Berezovsky, come out recently in the media and claim another assassin was […]

It is clear things are heating up in Pakistan where al-Qaeda seems to be marshalling its forces after the beating they are taking in Iraq. It was clear that as Iraq is purged of the Islamo Fascists they would have to run somewhere. I suspected more would go to Iran (and this still may be […]

I have seen a disturbing trend while on travel this week. I work with a great group of people and we have been in meetings and lunches and dinners (the usual travel fair) and one thing has been completely missing. No one dares talk politics.

It seems we are taking the battle to al-Qaeda cells in Pakistan through our Pakistani allies. The first sign of activity was the exodus of locals from the northern Waziristan area because they had hints or suspicions of a pending action: Several thousand villagers fled a Pakistani tribal region on Wednesday, where an army offensive […]

Everyone has their limitations. For the liberal Surrendercrats and SurrenderMedia they cannot connect dots when they are mapped out in front of them with numbers to show the way. These people are big picture-challenged. It is stunning how inept they are at being able to see clear indicators of trends. Probably why the succeed so […]

Apple is not seeing the sales they wanted from the launch of their iPhone (which are really cool – I saw one in action). Well I have some advice for Apple – get off the exclusive arrangement with AT&T. Apple and iphone are edgy, out of the norm, forward looking entities. They appeal to us […]

One quick way for the military and Secretary Gates to lose all support is by not taking the time to honor those who have sacrificed all in protecting this nation. A story in the NY Times is a prime example of what NOT to do when it comes to our fallen heroes: FORT LEWIS, Wash. […]

Folks might find it interesting that my observations on how the Muslim community was reacting to the violent nature of al-Qaeda’s mass killings is being born out in an poll soon to be out, according to The Drudge Report which has this pending headline “Global poll finds Muslims increasingly reject suicide bombings… Developing…”. I noted […]
