New York City’s tallest skyscraper is now the 1WTC. Not a new bulls-eye, they say, but a middle finger to al-Qaeda.
I was a surprised to see this. I’ve been busy with other things and forgot it was going up. Nice work. Pity, though, that there aren’t two of them.

One of the reasons the Obamaloots are giving for a possible presidential veto of a new defense appropriations bill is that it awards Purple Hearts signifying woundings in action to the military victims of two Jihadi killings at Fort Hood and Little Rock, Arkansas in 2009.
“On June 1, 2009, Muslim convert Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, who had spent time in Yemen and was an avowed jihadist, killed one soldier and wounded another in a drive-by shooting on a military recruiting office in Little Rock. He pleaded guilty to murder, avoiding trial and the death penalty, and was sentenced to life in prison.
“Nidal Malik Hasan, a U.S. Army major who had email communications with senior al-Qaeda recruiter and Yemen-based cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, awaits military trial for the Nov. 5, 2009, massacre at Fort Hood, Texas, in which 13 were killed and 29 wounded.
“After the Fort Hood shootings, the FBI quickly said there was no evidence of a greater terrorist plot at work, the Defense Department called it an “isolated” case, and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Hasan’s actions were not representative of his Muslim faith.”
Well, I’m sure that should make us all feel a lot better about it. Cretins.

Obamaloot’s Big Lie hasn’t gotten any more honest or believable since he told it in his State of the Union message to Congress back in January:
“Over the last three years, we’ve opened millions of new acres for oil and gas exploration…. But with only two percent of the world’s oil reserves, oil isn’t enough.”
Indeed, his two percent fable has come crashing down to a new truth:
“…a representative of the Government Accountability Office testified before the House Science Subcommittee on Energy and Environment that the Green River Formation alone–it is located at the intersection of the states of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, and mostly underlies federal lands–contains as much oil as the entire proven reserves of the rest of the world combined.”
Will our corrupt political elite allow it to be developed? Or are they truly in the pockets of the Muslim oil ticks and will continue to force us to rely on Middle East oil?

Criticizing Obamaloot for the passing remark that Americans are “fighting on my behalf” seems misguided to me. Totally unnecessary, considering all the non-controversial criticizing that could be launched his way.
As far as I can see, the American military has been “fighting on [the president’s] behalf” since the dawn of the Republic whose Constitution made presidents commanders-in-chief of the military.
Especially since presidents began taking the military to war without a declaration from the Congress. If we don’t like it (and I certainly don’t) then we need to change it. In the meantime, the troops clearly are fighting on a president’s behalf. Get used to it.

Michael Yon correctly lays blame for the latest Afghanistan photo scandal on the soldier(s) who took the snapshots and made sure the Los Angeles Times got hold of them. Hard to fault that logic.
But Yon absolves the media in the fiasco, which is ridiculous. The LATimes didn’t have to use the photos. They knew the furor they would cause, especially in Afghanistan and the additional problems they would present for US policy there. But our modern media sheep (usually led by the NYTimes) have no sense of responsibility. And they never miss a chance to make our military look bad.

Recognize her? Perhaps not. This is the photo you might remember better.
Not long after placing seventh in an American modeling contest, the young Modern Orthodox Esther Petrak, a native of Jerusalem, joined the IDF to serve and defend Israel as an instructor in the Merkeva (Chariot) tanks.
