WTF Of The Day
The New York Times has a nasty tradition of revealing information that either damages national security and/or puts personnel in theater in harms way. With that, why risk tradition… I have just received word that the New York Times is preparing to go public with a list of names of Americans covertly working in Afghanistan providing force [...]
Fail-Safe II: Unsafely Failing
If you’ve seen the 1964 Stanley Kubrick film Fail-Safe, you might think it’s far past time that a sequel was made, updated for the times we now live in. I certainly do. Here are the major plot points I’d go with if I were writing/directing Fail-Safe II: –”Definitely Non-Muslim Potential Man-Caused Disaster [...]
John Kerry: Global Nuclear Annihilation is Imminent if Senate Doesn’t Ratify Nuke Pact Tout de Suite
Democrats are trying to rush a vote again, which can only mean there’s something more they don’t want us to know about: Top Democratic allies of President Barack Obama called Thursday for quick Senate ratification of a US-Russia treaty committing the former Cold War foes to major nuclear arms cuts. “This is too important to [...]
Obama Orders Targeted Killing of American Citizen; Amber Alert Issued for US Constitution
Anybody with a knowledge of the history of people whose power went to their heads should shudder at this piece of Hope & Change on steroids: The Obama administration has taken the extraordinary step of authorizing the targeted killing of an American citizen, the radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who is believed to have shifted from [...]
Idiocracy II: Obama Bans Terms ‘Islamic Extremism’ and ‘Jihad’ From US Security Strategy
Obama has already told the world that if we’re attacked we promise that we probably won’t retaliate with nuclear weapons, and Obama has already pledged to try to get rid of the one weapon that has kept us from having another World War for 65 years, so why not another bad idea? Let’s just play make-believe and ignore the root of a [...]
Government’s Case Against 3 Navy SEALs Accused of Giving Terrorist a Boo-Boo May Be Falling Apart
The good news is that the case seems to be falling apart — the bad news is that this is happening in the first place: Cracks are beginning to appear in the military’s prosecution of three Navy SEALs accused of striking a most-wanted terrorism suspect they had captured in Iraq. Maj. Gen. Charles Cleveland last week signed grants of [...]
How to Catch Bin Laden? Send in the 101st Bearborne
Here’s a fairly light topic to prep your stomach for a few gallons of green beer. Did you know the Defense Department has a suggestion box? It must be a blast to be the one monitoring it: Could parachute-wearing bears sniff out Osama bin Laden? That’s one suggestion the Pentagon has received from someone who noted, quite correctly, [...]

Reconciliation Mania: White House Considers Talks With Taliban
The White House is pushing “reconciliation” as a way to ram the health care sham through the Senate, and now they’re considering reconciling with the Taliban. I’d be optimistic for progress if it weren’t for thousands of years of history working against this notion: President Obama met with his war cabinet on Friday, [...]
‘Internet’ in the Running for a Nobel Peace Prize
Al Gore is determined to win a second Nobel Peace Prize one way or another: The internet is among a record 237 individuals and organisations nominated for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. The number of nominations surpasses last year’s record of 205 nominations. The internet’s nomination has been championed by the Italian version [...]
