Yeah, that's right, even though the bomb failed to detonate, our side failed to stop him from getting into position where he could set it off to begin with.
Al-Qaeda has claimed responsibility for the blown attack. Janet Napolitano at first claimed our anti-terrorist system worked, then backtracked and admitted it ...

I've been "missing in action" for most of November, trying to figure out what I want to write for nanowrimo, and missing out writing on too many current events.
The Obama Administration has determined that Khalid Sheik Mohammad, mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, will be tried in a criminal court in ...

For several years now the Left has been demanding an end to the "occupation" of Iraq but have been mute on the 60+ year occupation of Germany. Now I know why. From FoxNews:

I ran across this initially on Michelle Malkin's blog, and am as stunned as she is that the politicians running the U.K. would pull a Neville Chamberlain by brokering a deal with Muqtada al-Sadr that resulted in British troops in Iraq sitting on the sidelines while the recent Battle of ...

Terrorist leader Muqtada al-Sadr is making the news again, this time claiming he is turning his "Mahdi Army" terrorist organization into a civic group, and disarming them. Is he sincere in this new move and direction for his terrorist corps? Or is it all a lot of talk?

How big is your carbon footprint today?
I wrote about Carbon Belch Day last week, and nearly forgot that today is THE day.
Turn on the lights, lower the thermastat (unless you need heat, then raise that puppy), leave the computers on, and whatever else will make your day.

Betting again that I am right on Iran, the Ayatollah Khamenei has announced that terrorists will soon have access to nuclear weapons. He refrained from naming the sponsor of terror that will provide the terrorists with the materials necessary to build a bomb (Uranium-235 or Plutonium). I can hazard a ...

Ted Turner Moonbat's it right out of the park with his interview on the Charlie Rose Show on PBS. There are excerpts all over the Internet and I'll be pulling some from the Atlantic Journal Online. Ted Turner, a hard-core member of the "do as I say, not as I ...

This week has seen a rise in violence in Iraq, especially in Basra and in/around Baghdad. When airstrikes are called in, that's indicative of an escalation. The Green Zone had been pretty quiet until this new upsurge in terrorism.

Minnesota has lost another son in the war on Terror in Iraq this week. I don't always write about these fine and courageous young soldiers; there are many other voices out there doing a better job of it than I can ever do.

"Let them win," was how Master Gunner Tom Parks put it last night at the Fort Snelling Officer's Club. These three simple words sum up the overall feeling of the standing-room only crowd that attended the Vets For Freedom Tour event. The reasons to win are numerous and critical; "Let ...

The Vets for Freedom Tour, which has been traveling across the country for a couple of weeks now, has had one of its stops cancelled. Not in Berkeley, the land of Moonbats, where one is accustomed to having everything under the sun politicized, but in Minnesota, the Land of the ...

The other day I was greeted with an article that the terrorist Muqtada al-Sadr may end his sixth month cease-fire. The update on Fox News is that al-Sadr is not quite ready "to rumble."

The U.S. House of Representatives has yet again passed an Iraq Surrender Bill, this time tying $50 billion of funding to a requirement to draw down troop levels (which is already in the works) and ending combat by 2008. That last is a signal to terrorists, sectarian death squads, and ...

Reading the editorial page in the Star Tribune is hit or miss; Jekyll or Hyde; Night or day. A couple of days ago it was Syl Jones moonbatting about the war in Iraq and the Bush Administration. That's the night, the Mr. Hyde, the miss. Today it is a piece ...
