I find it blatantly obvious something is brewing in Pakistan. The US us sending 3200 Marines to Afghanistan to probably beef up the cordon along the Afghanistan border.

They apparently set up a 3-way ambush which meant she had no chance once she stuck her head out of the her armored car: In its initial investigation report submitted to the Government of Pakistan, the British investigators held that Benazir Bhutto was shot […]

2001 we took out the Taliban and crushed al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. In 2003 we determined Saddam was non-compliant with international requirements on disclosing his WMDs (please, no one try and claim this is not true – even the UN agreed this was true) and because of communications he had had with al-Qaeda over the years […]

I have not been watching the news much the last few days but I did see that Scotland Yard investigators, who went to Pakistan to give an independent assessment of who killed Bhutto, have concluded the evidence does point to al-Qaeda: BRITISH officials have revealed that evidence amassed by Scotland Yard detectives points towards Al-Qaeda […]

It seems Pakistan locals are ready to start hunting down al-Qaeda in the tribal areas where al-Qaeda is supposedly holed up – resembling the change in support local Sunni Iraqis had regarding al-Qaeda in the now infamous Anbar Province of Iraq: Members of a Pakistani ethnic Pashtun tribe vowed on Thursday to raise a militia […]

al-Qaeda has promised a come back in Iraq. They have put the call out to try and turn the tide against their impending defeat. Sadly for them they did not contemplate the impact if the US and Iraqis ALSO unleashed a forceful push on them. Well now they can contemplate it – on their journey […]

It seems very hard to determine how many Muslims have been killed in Iraq due to al-Qaeda’s efforts to insight civil war (it wasn’t the US who bombed the Golden Mosque and ignited the fighting, it wasn’t the US who used chlorine bombs on Sunnis who were changing their minds about al-Qaeda’s brutality). The World […]
