While I doubt Libyan militia are as self-aware as Aesop’s Scorpion… Western elites (politicians, media, bureaucrats) are surely just as, if not more, gullible than the Frog. Who besides the suits (including pantsuits) didn’t see things like this coming? Human Rights Watch said that Omar Brebesh, a career diplomat who was cultural attache [...] Some Marines are in trouble for peeing on the dead bodies of some Taliban. I guess on some level I wish they hadn’t done that, but my “give a damn” just isn’t too worked about it. My main issue… why WHY did they videotape it? Good Lord that was breathtakingly dumb. Top U.S. officials moved [...] Here’s a great piece from John Fund over at NRO on what Islamist compromise looks like in Morocco. It looks encouraging — but they don’t have complete control. The palace’s first reaction to a street vendor’s suicide in Tunisia was to give every subject the right to place a piece of cardboard on the [...] Powerline links to a sobering story from The Investigative Project on Terrorism about a ring of used car dealerships around the U.S. in places like Tulsa, OK, and Mt. Joliet, TN with ties to Hezbollah and Mexican drug cartels….: A Treasury designation, a criminal indictment and a civil lawsuit allege the Lebanese drug [...] You may have heard of the Afghan woman who was raped by her cousin’s husband, got pregnant from that and was sentenced to 12 years in prison before President Hamid Karzai pardoned her — conditioned on her marrying her rapist. Karzai fleshes out that position more here. Whether he’s sincere or not remains to [...] Share on Facebook As election results from Egypt pour in showing that Islamic extremists won over 60% of the vote (let that sink in for a moment) I am even more ardently convinced that the so-called “Democracy Project” emphasized by George W. Bush is a fool’s errand — no matter the soft-headed idealism (read naivete). One doesn’t allow [...] To bum a sentiment from David Stein by way of Michael Corleone, just when you think all the fuss about David’s take-down of Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer’s intellectual dishonesty re. Gov. Rick Perry’s Muslim curriculum had seen its last, they pull him back in to the fray. Be sure to check out David’s whole [...] The above is a Saudi woman who drives — apparently. From the Huffington Post comes this story of a report from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on wimmins drivers: A report given to a high-level advisory group in Saudi Arabia claims that allowing women in the kingdom to drive could encourage premarital sex, a [...] Back together and playing the Sands… Anticipating a strong presence in the new Egyptian parliament, ultraconservative Islamists outlined plans Friday for a strict brand of religious law, a move that could limit personal freedoms and steer a key U.S. ally toward an Islamic state. Egypt’s election commission announced only a trickle of results from the [...] Look into the face of ignorant naive fear. These American students were arrested in Cairo, Egypt in Tahrir Square for allegedly throwing Molotov cocktails at Egyptian security forces as Egypt continues its slide into whatever the hell it ends up being. Three Americans studying at the American University in Cairo have been arrested and [...] Here’s a disturbing AP story about a recent CIA debacle in Lebanon concerning Hezbollah and other setbacks in the region: The Lebanon crisis is the latest mishap involving CIA counterintelligence, the undermining or manipulating of the enemy’s ability to gather information. Former CIA officials have said that once-essential skill has been eroded as the agency [...] A Sudanese man was recently beheaded — in a parking lot in Saudi Arabia — for being a sorcerer. Shocking footage has surfaced of a Sudanese man being publicly beheaded in Saudi Arabia for being a ‘sorcerer’. Crouched on his knees and blindfolded, Abdul Hamid Bin Hussain Bin Moustafa al-Fakki was executed in a [...] Chalk up another victory for Barack “Nobel my belle” Obama’s foreign policy in Libya. Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, the chairman of the National Transitional Council and de fact president, had already declared that Libyan laws in future would have Sharia, the Islamic code, as its “basic source”. But that formulation can be interpreted in many ways [...] In Somalia, al-Qaeda seems to have shifted tactics — to a new and more insidious one… from The New York Times: Al Qaeda is not known for its philanthropic activities, but this weekend in Somalia the terrorist group appears to have branched into a new business: distributing humanitarian aid. In a surreal scene, a man [...] The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has ruled that wimmins can both vote in local elections and run for office starting in a couple of years. http://yhoo.it/qzMaat They better watch it. When we did that we got Warren G. Harding. Share on Facebook Bill Whittle explains the brief history of Palestinian statehood — or rather their rejection of statehood in furtherance of irrational Jew hatred. Devastating. Share on Facebook It’s been awhile since we’ve had a little Hitchens around these parts… In today’s Slate, Christopher Hitchens returns to the topic that moved him into agreement with many of us on at least one thing… the war with Islamic jihadists. Here’s a bit, go read the whole thing here: The proper task of [...] Photo: Bradley Hope/The National I realize there is a dearth of jobs and doing internships for free is only realistic for the rich or the very poor, but I’m of two minds on this… Chris Jeon… UCLA student… joined the Libya rebellion for the summer. Bummed out by the end of summer vacation? Want [...] Freakshow has fled Tripoli and the rebels — so carefully vetted and courted by the Obama Administration are now in the capital. The rebels want to get their hands on him and so does the International Criminal Court. But they must find him first. Gaddafi has not been seen in public since mid-June. [...] |
