One of the sings that indicated to me, very early on in Iraq, that The Surge in Anbar Province was going to work as it expanded across Iraq was the fact that the Islamo Fascist terrorists were targeting the Muslim Main Street – thereby creating the backlash that turned al Qaeda from the future of […]

It is good to see the Obama administration pushing Pakistan to root out the terrorists from their last major sanctuaries in northern Pakistan. This area represents a major threat to peace and security in the west. It is the birthplace of al Qaeda and not far from where the 9-11 attacks (and others – since […]

Updates Below This year the US and Pakistan are definitely going to make a major push against al Qaeda and the Taliban. I have been wondering why al Qaeda had been slowly moving people from its sanctuary in Pakistan to Somalia (a dangerous migration since movement can be detected). It seems a new effort to […]

The news last week, which had me a bit disturbed initially, was that Taliban forces in the Tribal Areas of Pakistan had set aside their differences and joined forces: Three rival Pakistani Taliban groups have agreed to form a united front against international forces in Afghanistan in a move likely to intensify the insurgency just as thousands […]

The Brave New World of President Obama has some disturbing trends to it. The worst is the attempt to go back to a pre 9-11 delusional state that a violently oppressive form of religion can co-exist with modern, open, western societies. We humans spent the 1990’s pretending that blood lusting jihadis in Afghanistan and Pakistan […]

We’ve had another predator strike in Pakistan, as the Pak’s negotiate a deal with religious extremists to allow them to impose Sharia law on what once was a western tourist mecca: Pakistan agreed on Monday to restore strict Islamist law in the Swat valley to pacify a revolt by Taliban militants, and a suspected U.S. […]

  US forces – now known to operate out of Pakistan thanks to a big mouthed US Senator – have  successfully targeted a large group of al Qaeda and Taliban militants: A US missile strike killed 32 people, most of them Uzbek nationals in South Waziristan on Saturday.  According to sources, US drone planes fired […]

There are indications that President Bush not only left Iraq a success Obama simply needs to finalize safely, but he also left al Qaeda – hold up in Pakistan hiding – on the brink of destruction as well: After one of the latest U.S. Predator attacks in North Waziristan, a Taliban subcommander visited the site. He’s seen […]

Great news coming out of Pakistan as security forces were able to uncover a distributed suicide/bombing attack on two major Pak cities before it could be executed. The terrorist cells had connections to the top al Qaeda leader in Pakistan who was recently killed in a predator strike: “We have busted a gang of nine […]

Is President Obama negotiating a truce with al Qaeda? Is he going to legitimize these nut jobs by actually opening a dialogue and discussing terms as equals on the world stage?  Barack Obama was working with Arab intermediaries to establish an unofficial dialogue with Al Qaida long before his election as the 44th U.S. president, […]
