I said many times last year the wave of Islamic rejection against al-Qaeda that began in Iraq would poor out across the Muslim world as stories of al-Qaeda’s bloody carnage played out in the Muslim street. When Iraq’s Sunnis turned on al-Qaeda it was a huge shift that was hard to envision happening, but once […]

Want to know how Iraq is going? Don’t listen to the liberal democrats. Or if you do then just go with the opposite of what they say. They are the ones last year who said, despite what was being reported in Iraq form months, that the Surge and Awakening were failures and Iraq would never […]

We have come to it with the ‘profession’ called journalism with the recent DoD report which highlights a decade’s old connection between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda’s number two leader Ayman al-Zawahiri. I READ the report and posted on it here, as did many others. The fact is the report provides clear and unambiguous connections between […]

Lots Of Updates Below America seems to be circling in on al-Qaeda’s leaders – and may have a bull’s eye on them right now. When I saw the US announce a major Bin Laden aid had been captured I wondered if this was meant to spook the AQ leaders and get them to move and […]

al-Qaeda’s core misjudgment has always been the masses are impressed or cowed by violence. They are neither really. Like any creature that is threatened violence can erupt from the most peaceful at heart if survival is at stake. And while some are cowed, many others become angry and motivated when threatened. al-Qaeda naively believes that […]

Addendum: I have to emphasize that the connection discovered between Saddam’s Iraq and AQ’s Number 2 Zawahiri is more than enough of a smoking gun to realize AQ and Saddam’s Iraq were poised to bring on future 9-11s together – if they wanted to. And all indications are they wanted to, as long as it […]

The extremely rare closed session of Congress last night on FISA is intriguing, if not just for its historic nature: House Republicans succeeded Thursday in delaying the vote by one day by requesting a rare, late-night closed session of Congress to discuss the bill. It was the first secret session of the House in a […]

As I expected the Spring Offensive has begun – but it is the US and allied forces who are on the move and hunting down terrorists. The US has struck again at targets inside the tribal areas of Pakistan: A decisive Coalition strike against a high-level meeting of Taliban-linked insurgents on March 12 took place […]

Seems we have been on the move in two areas in Afghanistan. First are efforts to take the battle to the militant Taliban hideouts: US-led coalition forces killed nearly a dozen Taliban militants in raids on rebel hideouts in dangerous southern Afghanistan, the coalition said in a statement on Thursday. Coalition forces were searching compounds […]

An article out today destroys the liberal mythology regarding the war on terror in two areas. In the previous post I noted Iraqi security is working with us here in the US to stop attacks on America. This exposure of a real threat now in country demonstrates why Congress needs to stop playing games with […]
