Update: As I suspected, Hezbollah has set an unreasonable condition, which therefore equates to a rejection. Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah said on Saturday the militant organization would abide by the U.N. cease-fire resolution but would keep fighting as long as Israeli troops remained in southern Lebanon. Hezbollah doesn’t want a truce, they want to […]

From news reports Hezbollah is well armed with anti-tank missiles as well as long range missiles, admittedly supplied by Iran and probably with Syrian assistance. And yet Hezbollah is still getting pounded into the ground. The first link above has a quote from a military expert which sums it up well: “To the best of […]

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 […]

The World is at a cross roads that has been building since the 1970’s and the emergence of terrorism in the Muslim world. Brought to the world by Palestinians we, the world, made a mistake of attempting to appease and legitimize terrorists a la Arafat and the PLO. In return, just as a mouse will […]

I have posted for some time on the delusional madness that is rampant in Iran’s leadership. The President of Iran thinks he is in final contact with the last Prophet, leading the way for his arrival and 70 virgins all around. The apoclyptic vision of martyrdom is absolutely scary when you add nuclear weapons to […]

The test came hours before Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met […]

I noted a while back that Iranian President Ahmedinejad is highly delusional, in that he sees himself in touch with the last prophet that will grace the world before its end. Last year, it was after another khalvat that Ahmadinejad announced his intention to stand for president. Now, he boasts that the Imam gave him […]

Iran wants to arm the world with nuclear weapons: Iran’s supreme leader says his country is willing to share nuclear technology with other countries. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told visiting Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir that Iran is prepared to transfer the nuclear experience, knowledge and technology of its scientists. Anyone who watched Blackhawk down must realize […]

The Democrats are so politically crass and o desperate they seem incapable of controlling their actions – even when the stakes are the lives of thousands or millions of people. Recall in the run up to Iraq Bush was a ‘unilaterist’ and did not engage the ‘International Community’(April 2004): John Kerry aimed a new volley […]
