We saw the same pattern in Iraq. Initial reports of a resurgent al-Qaeda turned over time to reports of locals rising up against al-Qaeda. In Iraq it was initiated through a movement now called the Anbar Awakening. And as I posted yesterday there are signs all over the place the same pattern is occurring in […]

A newly minted al-Qaeda leader in Iraq is now going to be newly buried, thanks to the new security efforts in Iraq: Iraqi police has said that a local Al-Qaeda leader was killed early on Saturday. He was killed in a police raid on his home north of Baghdad. … Al-Dori was assigned to lead […]

Since when did Toledo, Ohio become The City of Pansies? The 200 members of Company A, 1st Battalion, 24th Marines, based in Grand Rapids, Mich., planned to spend their weekend engaged in urban patrol exercises on the streets of downtown as well as inside the mostly vacant Madison Building, 607 Madison Ave. Toledo police knew […]

Some interesting news out of Pakistan this week. The focus of these activities are the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) which contain the Waziristan Provinces, and the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) which contains the Swat area where the terrorists tried to take control last fall, and failed. It seems more and more likely that […]

One of the key events in the War On Terror was the assassination of Benazir Bhutto. She was beginning to turn the country from the fight with Islamists to some other future and therefore represented a huge risk to al-Qaeda and Bin Laden.

That’s what Taliban sources along the Afghan-Pakistan border are wondering about the American-born al-Qaida member. Gadahn, known as […]

Note to Osama: you can only murder and torture so many Muslims before they stop supporting your cause. It seems all those Muslims Bin Laden’s goons killed have families and friends and tribes who are now seeing al-Qaeda as the enemy of Islam, not the future of Islam: “There seems to be a greater indication […]

al-Qaeda has decided – too late in my opinion – to stop killing Muslims as a way to impress the very same Muslims on how Islam would be under al-Qaeda’s Islamo Fascist rule: Al-Qaeda militants operating here have shifted tactics to try to improve their image among Iraqis and avoid the mass civilian killings that […]

OK, why would the Taliban announce a unilateral and unconditional ceasefire in the tribal areas of Pakistan? A Taliban spokesman declared on Wednesday a unilateral ceasefire from South Waziristan to Swat, saying no security forces would be targeted. “We will not attack any security person, be it in Waziristan or in Swat (district),” Taliban spokesman […]

It looks like al-Qaeda is finally realizing their war against Iraqi Muslims is making them an enemy of Islam (at least in Iraq) and not positioning them to be the future of Islam. Apparently al-Qaeda forces are leaving Iraq to be trained in Pakistan and then deploy elsewhere in the world: The US intelligence chief […]
