First, let me apologize for the disheveled organization of this post, since I have a lot of incongruent pincer-like situations on my mind, but — nevertheless — I have been trying to stay up on the latest news coming out of Pakistan because, dammit, it’s so important and because most media aren’t covering it in [...]

The U.S. has spent billions to arm the Pakistani army and police, and contributed thousands of manhours training the troops. Yet the Pakistanis are sending in token police and soldiers to fight the Taliban, and rapidly ceding large areas:

Nuke Provocation Is The Thing This Year.

Uh oh. Someone let go of the leash. God bless you if you can make it through all 23 minutes of Wolf Blitzer’s and Gloria Borger’s interview of Vice President Joe Biden on CNN. I couldn’t stomach it. But the take-away sound bite left my jaw on the floor. You NEVER [...]

Many experts on global conflict and dangers, and he/she will tell you that the number one threat to the world is not just the proliferation but the existence of nuclear weapons. Ask any true expert how we defend against nuclear weapons and, as the West Wing scene below the fold will tell you, there is [...]
