I feel sorry for Ambassador Jerry Bremer and his continued inability to come to grips with the pathetic reality that is the debacle of Iraq. L. Paul Bremer aka “Jerry” Bremer tarnished his reputation with his bungled stewardship as the U.S. pro-consul of Iraq in the wake of the 2003 U.S. invasion. He continues to [...]

Remember back when the US Department of Justice announced with much sturm und drang the alleged Iranian plot to assassinate the Saudi Ambassador in a Washington, DC restaurant? TERRORISM! ACT OF WAR!! Where the cries from across the U.S. political spectrum. Attorney General Eric Holder said elements of Iran’s Qods Force, a unit of the [...]

The political circus surrounding the New Hampshire primary today should give us pause. Why? New Hampshire is an inconsequential state. Don’t get me wrong. Great place to visit. I’ve been to several of the ski slopes around North Conway (Wild Cat is fun but cold). But seriously, New Hampshire is the least representative of America. [...]

Is Huntsman incompetent? Seriously folks. I initially thought Huntsman could be a strong challenger and a great candidate. But then we get the reality of his “organization” or lack thereof. If you are going to run for President than you must recognize that you have to understand the election laws in 50 different states and, [...]

When it comes to politics Newt Gingrich is Barack Obama and Barack Obama is Newt Gingrich. The only difference? Gingrich has written more books and has actually worked as an historian. But make no mistake, these two men are cut from the same cloth. Both are narcissists who will do anything to win. Both are [...]

I was in a training program all day today, so I missed the initial reactions to the latest unemployment news. The first I heard of the jobs “news” was on Sirius radio at 7pm from a breathless Shepherd Smith. Good Lord! You would have thought that Shep discovered he was shitting golden eggs he was [...]

The juxtaposition of Barack Obama announcing cuts to the Defense budget while touting the “GREAT” success in Iraq with news from Iraq that a new series of bombings against Shia pilgrims is jarring to say the least. First the news out of Iraq: A suicide bomber blew himself up next to a large group of [...]

Let me establish my Iowa bona fides up front. 30 years ago I worked on a pig farm in southern Iowa. That experience taught me I preferred to eat pork rather than farm them. My wife and son both attended college in Iowa, so I have spent quite a bit of time in the state. [...]

What is a conservative Republican? I do not believe there really is such an ideological class. For example, take Rick Santorum. What makes him “conservative?” He is a strong opponent of homosexuals and abortion. He believes that the U.S. Government has the right to lock you up and hold you indefinitely if someone accuses you [...]

Wanted to extend a heartfelt wish to all regulars and visitors of No Quarter to enjoy the goyim New Year (if you are Jewish you already celebrated a New Year but hey, why not double dip). 2012 is going to be a rough ride. I expect Mitt Romney will be the Republican nominee. So far [...]

The following is part of an email I sent to a friend in the intel community (now retired) who is alarmed by the growing drum beat to go to war with Iran. Here’s what I wrote: Look, the problem is totally political. What do I mean by that? When the Democrats in the Senate refused [...]

The insanity of trying to start a war with Iran continues. The latest appears in the Daily Beast with the headline, U.S., Israel Discuss Triggers for Bombing Iran’s Nuclear Infrastructure: The Obama administration is trying to assure Israel privately that it would strike Iran militarily if Tehran’s nuclear program crosses certain “red lines”—while attempting to [...]

Ah, sad news. According to the New York Times, U.S. Prepares for a Curtailed Relationship With Pakistan. The article reports: With the United States facing the reality that its broad security partnership with Pakistan is over, American officials are seeking to salvage a more limited counterterrorism alliance that they acknowledge will complicate their ability to [...]

Talking is one thing, but doing is another. Newt, fulfilling my low expectations, once again demonstrated why he is the quintessential Washington K-Street windbag. He failed to garner enough signatures to get on Virginia’s March primary and, in my view, it is all about Luke 14:28. For those who are not Christian or not familiar [...]
