Navy F/A-18 from the USS Enterprise refuels off an Air Force tanker, somewhere over the Persian Gulf. Probably not from this tanker crew, but who knows?

Help restore a vandalized snack shack for IDF soldiers. Helps if you have a PayPal account, but it can be established with a credit card number. Good photos of the young soldier patrons are at the link.

Losing the war

Posted on September 22, 2007 | Comments Off on Losing the war

Wretchard at the Belmont Club has long been eloquently describing how, and why, the political divide in this country is impeding the war on terrorism. On the latest debacle in Iraq, between Iran’s favorite son al Maliki, and the Blackwater security company (with cooperation from our State Department and the Dems in Congress), he shows why history is such a sad story. We get closer all the time to retreating and coming home to circle the wagons. Without closed borders, of course, to make the circle work. While continuing our profilgate energy ways to make the oil ticks rich, so they can support the terrorists.

The axis of evil

Remember? Iran, Iraq and North Korea. More on that secretive Israeli air strike/raid.

"Evidence that North Korean personnel were at the (Syrian) site is said to have been shared with President George W. Bush over the summer. A senior American source said the administration sought proof of nuclear-related activities before giving the attack its blessing."

One (Iraq) down and two to go.

The pathetic Left

I thought you had to be smart to get into M.I.T. Apparently they let dumbasses in, too, as long as they’re women and politically correct.

The tragedy of multiculturalism

Posted on September 21, 2007 | Comments Off on The tragedy of multiculturalism

The modern American elite university, quick to condemn its own country, slow to confront much less to condemn obvious foreign evil, embraces an Iranian thug:

"Columbia doesn’t host ROTC or (I think) military recruiters on campus, because it would be just too offensive to do so, because the military obeys the law passed by a Democrat Congress and signed by Bill Clinton which bars open homosexuals from serving in the military," Michael Ledeen emails Instapundit. "OK…Why (then) think a man who heads a regime that executes homosexuals–not just excludes them from military service, but hangs them by the neck until dead, in public ceremony– should be honored with an invitation to speak at Columbia?"

At least Mahmoud the Mad has only talked about destroying Israel. He hasn’t actually tried it. Yet.

Ladies Night Over Afghanistan

This is an old favorite of mine. It’s a four-plus years old photo, from the early days of Operation Enduring Freedom, and these gals may no longer be flying KC-135 Stratotankers for refueling fighter-bombers over there. But you can bet that they’re flying aerial gas stations somewhere. It’s a nice illustration of both the all-volunteer military and the 9/11 generation. They are not what you think.
