We see today in Iraq two major forces of humanity in bloody conflict. We see the power of self determination, peacefully going to the polls to vote for leaders and a path forward. And we see the power obsessed fascists, who want to warp civilization to their own egomaniacal views (with them conveniently sitting at [...]

I have lived outside DC almost all of my soon to be 50 years, and I have seen each new administration come into town with dreams and expectations and then hit reality. Many make the transition, some just crash and burn.
You can make change from DC, but you have to know the culture and the [...]

Why is President Obama all of a sudden seeing the light in trying enemy combatants in military tribunals – with their extra layer of keeping national security information hidden?
Well one reason may be the administration sees the need in the near future to keep certain information out of the public domain. Like all the opportunities they [...]

It seems President Obama is about to overturn the idiotic decision made by lefty Attorney General Eric Holder on where to try the enemy combatant terrorists:
President Obama’s advisers are nearing a recommendation that Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, be prosecuted in a military tribunal, administration officials said, a [...]

It is so pre 9/11 now.
One of the tragedies that arose out of the NY Times’ erroneous reporting on the FISA-NSA changes made by President Bush in the after math of 3,000 people killed by terrorists on 9/11 was the idea we lost the trail of the soon-to-be mass murderers once they were in America. [...]

One of the issues that has come to the forefront since the Christmas Day Bombing attempt, which barely failed to murder 300 people in the skies over Detroit, MI and untold numbers on the ground, is what has changed between the Bush administration’s hair trigger concerns over potential threats and the Obama administration’s efforts [...]

The career intelligence workers who defend this nation are starting to expose the danger Attorney General Eric Holder and President Obama have put this nation in. We are in danger of attack because Holder and Obama allowed for Christmas Day Bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to be mirandized and ‘remain silent’ as his terrorist allies continued [...]

We all know the liberal news media is clueless to the core, so they miss a lot of things. But we are now faced with a much more serious question when it comes to the current administration: are they completely clueless or are they serial liars? I used the above picture to at least set [...]

I have worked many years in the government and I can tell you that radical, reckless or illegal policies cannot be dictated from on high and then executed mindlessly. It is the reason why America was never really at risk of Bush/Cheney eavesdropping on Americans instead of chasing down NSA leads when the Bush administration [...]

We now know something truly horrifying – Americans could very well die in massive numbers in the coming 6 months:

There is no doubt of a coming attack from in the responses of these national intelligence leaders. There is not a 50% chance or a 75% chance or a 95% chance. 100%. If this was a diagnosis [...]

So what can we conclude from the following two articles?
First we have this belated news:
WASHINGTON — Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian man accused of trying to blow up a jetliner bound for Detroit on Dec. 25, started talking to investigators after two of his family members arrived in the United States and helped earn his [...]

Pass this one on – it is outstanding. And it is evidence of why we needs pragmatic centrists on the side of national security, whether they agree on social issues/experiments or not.

Update: New fears of woman suicide bombers preparing to attack America:
At least two are thought to have been trained by the Yemen-based group behind syringe bomber Umar Abdulmutallab’s Christmas Day jet bomb plot. They are thought to have non-Arab appearance and be travelling on Western passports, making them difficult to trace.
Update: And because of some [...]

After a year of Americans feeling economically vulnerable and insecure, and after the Senate made good on the liberal threat to remake all our health care policies (which 70% of us are just fine with), it is a interesting but not surprising to hear from both camps in the MA Special Election that the Christmas [...]

This is the reason why so many people cannot understand why Obama allowed leftist ideologue Eric Holder to mirandize the Christmas Day Bomber and allow him to lawyer up:
British Intelligence has confirmed perhaps the most chilling boast that accused Christmas Day bomber Umar Abdulmutallab made to investigators after his arrest: that close to 20 other [...]
