In an earlier post I wondered what was driving Syria and why they don’t just sit back and let things blow over. I postulated Assad was nothing without Iran’s support and that of the Jihadists. M. Simon at Power and Control has some good points along those same lines: The morale in Lebanon? Low. Few […]

The EU has decided Hezbollah is not a terrorist organization, because it doesn’t want to insult them at this moment in time. Yeah, and Hitler was a good Christian.

Why does this man makes sense, and this one, this one, this one and this one all seem misguided and over the top? Probably because all those others are worried about opinions and not results. Results shape opinions. The last one (James Pinkerton) is sadly 100% wrong. The naysayers and handwringers all sing the same […]

I have been talking to staunch Democrats who never side with the Conservatives without a lot of debate and they all see Hezbollah as the criminal in Qana.

Folks on the internet (welcome to the brave new world) and fair and balanced news organizations have been working to understand the Qana quandry. The attacks happened between 12 and 1 AM, and people evacuate. Then some ‘poor’ people take shelter and the building collapses. But as bodies are pulled from the ‘rubble’ pictures show […]

Update:Now there are questions as to when the building collapsed (H/T to readers and other sites like Hot Air). Did Hezbollah do more than entice an Isreali attack? Did they stage the attack including the demolition and killing? Which news agencies were first on the scene to cover this eleborate event? Update: Israel will be […]

Pictures have been smuggled out of Lebanon showing Hezbollah cowards dressed in civilian clothes manning their artillery and launch pads, evidence that the Hezbollah fighting force truly hides behind the skirts of their women. The Melbourne man who smuggled the shots out of Beirut and did not wish to be named said he was less […]

If people thought we were going to disrupt a few cells and take out a few enabling governments and be able to win the war on terror, they were sadly too optimistic. I had held out hope this would be possible. But the nature of our enemy never let me get too comfortable with that […]
