The Sorry State of Pakistan »

Osama bin Laden: killed and al Qaeda: on the run. That’s the balance sheet — more or less — that the U.S. has to share with the world. Meanwhile, its biggest ally in the War on Terror — Pakistan — has nothing to present except that its own people have been terrorized by militants, with [...]

Guess Who Hates Us Even More Now Than When Bush Was President? »

The French? Well, they might, but no, that’s not who I mean. The British? Well, most likely, especially they way Obama has dissed them (like sending back the bust of Churchill, and that is the mere tip of the iceberg)? Nope. The Arab World. Yep, that’s right, even after Obama’s bowing and scraping to them, [...]

The Saudi Hollywood Makeover »

The tense relationship between Pakistan and the United States has often been described as a bad marriage. Like a couple teetering on divorce but frozen in mutually dependent inertia, the U.S. wants one thing while Pakistan wants another, at least most of the time. This love-hate relationship long precedes the September 11th attacks. The last [...]

Pakistan’s Urban Sprawl »

It’s surprising to many that the majority of Pakistanis support the Islamists and their apologists as the saviors of their religion. But this didn’t happen overnight. The mindset of the large segment of society didn’t change with a blink of an eye. No serious attempt has been made to analyse this phenomenon even though the [...]

Pak-US: Charlie Brown, Lucy and the Football »

One of the most familiar story lines in the beloved comic strip “Peanuts” involved malicious prankster Lucy holding a football and encouraging poor Charlie Brown to kick it. At the last moment, Lucy would pull the football away. Year after year after year, Lucy played Charlie Brown for a sucker. The football remained unkicked. So [...]

Hoopla!! »

Bin Ladin is dead. Again. In the last ten years he has been reported “killed” at least four times. The only difference this time was that the President of the United States announced the death of the number one terrorist in the world. Above all, this time he was killed not in Tora Bora, not [...]

Osama bin Laden, Sleeps With the Fishes **UPDATED** »

Update below the fold. I had another post all ready to go this morning of Lara Logan’s interview on “60 Minutes,” but that can keep until tomorrow. Today, the big news, as President Obama announced late last night, Osama bin Laden has been killed. The reports have been a bit conflicting on just how he [...]

“Happy Hajj,” Everybody! »

* Bumped Up * Let the White House Proclaim: Happy Hugo Chavez Day! Happy Ramadan! Happy 100th Anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire! Happy Eid-ul-Fitr Happy Earth Day! Happy Eid-ul-Adha! Happy Nowruz! If you are waiting for a Happy Easter Proclamation, though, you’ll have to wait until at least next year, since Obama didn’t [...]

Killing Over One Torched Koran? **UPDATEDX2** »

* Bumped Up * Update below the fold. I could barely believe my eyes when I saw this headline, “Afghans Angry Over Florida Koran Burning Kill UN Staff.” This is not a joke. If it were, it would be a sick one, but the reality is much, much worse. Indeed, a mob of over 20,000 [...]

Fears About Early Voting In Egypt Confirmed »

After forcing out Mubarak as leader of Egypt, Egyptians held a vote on Sunday on a number of different amendments and changes. One of the issues on which the people voted was whether or not to have speedy elections. The people have spoken, and the answer is: yes. Yes, they do want speedy elections. Here’s [...]

Shining A Bright Light On TSA’s Assault On Our Rights »

Sharon Cissna is an Alaskan State Representative(D), and one of my new heroes. Now why, you may ask, is she a hero? Because Rep. Cissna refuses to submit to a TSA pat-down. As a survivor of breast cancer, with a false breast as a result of a mastectomy, she has refused to submit to another [...]

The Shocking Story Of One CBS Reporter In Egypt »

Word has recently come out that Lara Logan, a longtime CBS foreign correspondent, suffered a brutal, horrible assault and sexual assault at the hands of a gang of Egyptian men celebrating the downfall of Mubarak. According to this CBS report (H/T to Carol Maka), Ms. Logan was covering the celebration for “60 Minutes.” And that’s [...]

This Is What Sharia Law Looks Like »

I admit – I am procrastinating writing this story because it makes me want to throw up. It is disturbing to say the least, and I must thank SeriouslySickofObama, a faithful No Quarter reader, for making sure I saw it. It is not for the faint of heart. And no, I am not referring to [...]

Questions About Obama and The Muslim Brotherhood Lead To More Questions **UPDATED** »

UPDATE: Protesters called for huge numbers today for Friday prayers in an effort to oust Mubarrak. Once again, the numbers are below 250,000 (“tens of thousands”), just as they were for the “Million Man March” the other day. The Cairo Metropolitan area has over 22 MILLION people, and Egypt 85 MILLION people. Again, I have [...]
