The news of the ridiculously simple escape by a terrorist suspect in Pakistan struck me as very bizarre in every detail, as I noted in my first post. I tend to not want to speculate too much because some possible scenarios have interesting potential for our side. But reporting in the UK Times today does […]

One of the key planners behind a plot to load bombs on up to 12 commercial airliners heading from Europe to the US, and exploding them over the US so they could rain down death and destruction on our cities, recently escaped Pakistan authorities. Now we learn he escaped with the help of Police who […]

There are indications that al-Qaeda is in retreat from Iraq and heading into Afghanistan and Pakistan. There as been a resurgence of violence in both countries as al-Qaeda is flushed from Iraq. There was the recent effort by militants in the Northwest Frontier Province (NWFP), specifically in the Swat region. Of one looks at a […]

Will this country go into 2008 with a future bright and hopeful (compared to the endless doom and gloom, and false charges of conspiracy the come from the leftward Media)? Who knows. Some very disturbing news is out of Pakistan this morning. It seems one of the key masterminds in the UK airline plot to […]

The Washington Post ran an intriguing article of ‘reconciliation’ between the war doubters and war optimists (myself being in the latter camp of course). Being authored by one member from each camp the article demonstrates the political reconciliation possible in America, now that General Petraeus’ Surge as been able to create stability in much of […]

Some stories folks might find interesting which probably won’t make the national news media (their too busy dealing with a Mormon Presidential candidate discussing religion in America to focus on our ongoing war efforts). First up we are getting great news from Pakistan on the efforts to purge that country of the Ilsamo Fascist waging […]

Some good news is coming out of Afghanistan now that it and Pakistan seem to be the new focus on the war on terror. As I mentioned yesterday it seems al-Qaeda and its associate groups and fighters are heading to the region after their defeat in Iraq. So clearly Americans should monitor events in the […]

I made a prediction many months ago that The Surge was chasing al-Qaeda out of Iraq and towards their last stronghold in Northern Pakistan and Southern Afghanistan – basically the areas surrounding Tora Bora. It made sense to make this prediction. Being hunted by Iraqis meant al-Qaeda fighters had to flee to some new base […]

I still believe the major front in the War On Terror is moving from Iraq, where al-Qaeda is being hunted down by the Arab/Muslim Iraqis, to the Northern regions of Pakistan – where many of the fighters from the Middle East seemed to have retreated to. Right now the major thrust is pushing the Islamo […]

With al-Qaeda now spent in Iraq the focus of the war on terror is moving to Pakistan. There had been reports that the Pakistanis (with possible help from imbedded US Special Forces against certain targets) would start to purge Pakistan of foreign fighters that have been massing in that country for some months now. It […]
