Homegrown jihadis

Nice to see that the cops are taking this seriously, even if the pols often act as if there’s nothing to worry about. Maybe not, but, then again, maybe so. Helps to know what’s going on down at the local mosque, just in case.

Vets For Freedom

Posted on July 6, 2008 | Comments Off on Vets For Freedom

Cool new advertising campaign from group of Afghanistan and Iraq campaign veterans to counter the anti-war bilge of MoveOn.org. But something tells me there’ll be a vets for peace campaign to counter this one before long. May the best ad campaigns win! Though I’d prefer this one.

North Korea’s masters just can’t contain themselves–like Hamas previously came unglued–over the thrilling thought of Baby Barry as president of the USA. Like Osama’s 2004 quasi-endorsement of John Kerry, the Nork move should be a consideration for all but the terminally Obama-indoctrinated.

Ever wonder where the Palestinians, Lebanese, Hamas, Hezbollah, etc., and the other rage boys get the flags they burn in their so-called spontaneous demos? Well, look no further than right here for the explanation. Just another of terrorism’s commercial opportunities.

The Marines do PR, but the Army, well…

The Walter Reed scandal of early 2007 is a case study in the failure of information warfare thus far.

UPDATE:  But when Dhimmicrat Mad Jack Murtha and the MSM are out to get ’em, even the Marines falter. Until the prosecutions collapse.
