Should the White House Have Released the bin Laden Photos? »

I never thought I would see the day that ex-Governor Sarah Palin, WSJ’s Peggy Noonan, and WaPo’s Eugene Robinson* would agree on anything. Hell must have frozen over. Their unlikely agreement came as all three insisted it would have been better for the White House to release the post-mortem photos of Osama bin Laden, rather [...]

The Story On Navy Team 6 (& Open Thread) »

Bumped Up. Please note that Seal Team Six: Memoirs Of An Elite Navy Seal Sniper by Howard E. Wasdin and Stephen Templin is now available for pre-sale through Amazon.com. Just click on the book jacket cover to the right. In light of the recent operation in Pakistan by Navy Seal Team 6, I thought it [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Guess Who’s Been Wanting To Overthrow Gadhafi For Years? »

* Bumped Up * Did you guess the Muslim Brotherhood? If so, you would have been right. Yes, CNN had this report, Energized Muslim Brotherhood in Libya Eyes A Prize. Oh, great. Well that’s just jake. And this is no joke. It is far, far from funny. It has been a plan long in the [...]

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 [...]

Let’s Talk Taliban »

Particularly, about the Taliban in Afghanistan and how it treats women. Now, I realize this might just seem like an “out of the clear blue sky” kinda thing, but trust me when I tell you it is not. (Photo by Steve Evans) First, I should say that before the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan, [...]

Major Hasan’s Major Pass (Updated) »

Or should I say, “passes.” More on that below, but as we all now know, a small number of Egyptians have forced out their ruler for 30 years, Mubarak. The military is now in control, which has suspended their Constitution and dissolved Parliament. In essence, as Larry Johnson and others have pointed out, they are [...]

Is Our Director Of Intelligence Really This Clueless? »

As you may have heard by now, the Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, announced at a House Intelligence Committee hearing Thursday that the Muslim Brotherhood wasn’t all that, they were basically a secular group who hadn’t a violent bone in their body. Okay, maybe not THAT bad, but close enough. See for yourself:

Kirsten Powers: “Americans’ Naivete About Egypt” »

In case you are not familiar with Kirsten Powers, she has an impressive resume, as stated at The Daily Beast: Kirsten Powers is a columnist for The Daily Beast. She is also a political analyst on Fox News and a writer for the New York Post. She served in the Clinton Administration from 1993-1998 and [...]

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 [...]

Birthers! Truthers! Mama Grizzlies! Tea Partiers! »

* Bumped Up * (Or the more offensive, homophobic term for Tea Partiers.) Crosshairs! Targets! The list could go on of the labels attached to groups of people or concepts by the media when they want to discount, demean, belittle, discourage discussion, demonize a group, or frame the issue how they want it to be, [...]

The Sorry State of Pakistan »

Salmaan Taseer is dead. He’s neither the first politician, first liberal, the first outspoken bullish pugnacious politician who was killed. Nor is he last. There were many, there will be more. He was the sitting governor of Pakistan’s biggest province and was assassinated by his own bodyguard.  Does Pakistan suffer today because of his death? [...]

How To Ensure A TSA Sexual Assault * Open Thread »

Editor’s Note: The Reverend’s post makes for riveting reading, and will remain up overnight. Only healthcare errands keep this editor from having time to write an open thread. I urge you to focus, in good part, on the Reverend’s excellent rant. Have a knee replacement. Yep, that seems to do the trick alright. It doesn’t [...]
