The Gazan Entity

Posted on September 20, 2007 | Comments Off on The Gazan Entity

Those hundreds of rockets that Hamas has been raining down on Israeli towns (and an Army barracks) are about to get a military response and a few civilian ones (like shutting off the air conditioning), since Israel provides more than half of the Gaza electricity and fuel. The dictator’s club at the UN (of course) decries Israel’s recent declaration of Gaza as an "enemy entity," but the White House backs it.

War with Iran

Posted on September 19, 2007 | Comments Off on War with Iran

Why it’s near, and why we and the Israelis aren’t likely to be alone in waging it. So long as it doesn’t involve a land invasion across those mountain ranges, I hope.

Another 9/11 generation recruit for the GWOT, hoping to become SF. And his blogger dad’s reaction.

Real or fake state vehicles?

Posted on September 18, 2007 | Comments Off on Real or fake state vehicles?

For now, the phony TxDOT (Texas Department of Transportation) trucks are smuggling drugs across the state. How long do we have before the terrorists figure out what a good idea this is?

Blood for oil

Posted on September 16, 2007 | Comments Off on Blood for oil

It’s such a pity that journalism, which claims such high motives, has so many practitioners who thrive on sensation, and have an innate inability to acknowledge complexity. Thus Drudge is headlining today in red: "Shock: Greenspan Claims Iraq War Really Was For Oil." What nonsense. Of course it was for oil. And for our national security, and to spread Democracy in a part of the world whose despots are helping breed the terrorism which led to 9/11, and yet exports the one commodity, oil, needed by every economy. Without which, at present, every one of them–including ours–would collapse and billions of people would suffer. How can we not fight for oil?

Another doctor of death

Posted on September 15, 2007 | Comments Off on Another doctor of death

An almost doctor, Wayne State University third year medical student Houssein Zorkot, 26. He was arrested Sept. 8 in a Dearborn, MI park in camo drag with a loaded AK-47. City officials hushed it up, they say, because they didn’t want a local media "story about terrorism" so close to the 9/11 anniversary three days later. Debbie Schlussel, who lives there and follows these medico-jihadis, has more. Zorkot’s own website makes his terrorist sympathies clear.

Betrayus

Posted on September 15, 2007 | Comments Off on Betrayus

The plot thickens. Seeming success in Iraq breeds efforts to undermine it. Leftist MoveOn, for instance, didn’t invent the slur "betrayus" for Gen. Petraeus that they used in their execrable ad in the NYTImes. They got it from some of his old enemies within the military, who had long used it as a nickname for him, say the usual anonymous sources. Chief among those antagonists is his boss at CENTCOM, Admiral William Fallon. As VHD might say, Gen. Sherman likewise was despised by more than a few generals in the Union army. Only his boss, Gen. Grant, held them at bay while Sherman led his devastating march through the South. P.’s boss does not back him, but President Bush does. Will it be enough?
