Democrats Surrender to Taliban in Afghanistan

No, this is not hyperbole.

Here’s the link to Powerline, reporting from Instapundit and the AP.

We are in negotiations with the leading jurist in the Muslim Brotherhood, a man who has called for Islamic defeat of Europe and the US, issued a fatwa for the killing of Americans in Iraq, calls suicide bombers “heroic martyrs,” and demands a global Islamist caliphate. And Obama is SURRENDERING to him.

We evidently have doubled-down on Idiot Joe Biden’s line that the Taliban are not our enemy.

We are releasing Afghan prisoners from GITMO and sending them back to Afghanistan - your tax dollars at work.

China is Rising - an Exciting New Novel

Want an exciting, current geopolitical novel to read? China Rising.

You do realize, of course, that another terrorist attack on America could change a presidential election, right?

And you know that when we Americans stop buying stuff after a terror attack… it just hurts the Chinese economy and their modernization plans, don’t you?

What, do you suppose, would happen if China, well… just got tired of it? And did something to stop it? Can you think of any proxies through whom they might act with complete deniability? I can….

… and what, do you suppose, would happen if China decided it needed more room[…]

Democrats Expanding Military Deployments While Cutting DoD Budget

So… the Dems - having walked-away from a Supercommittee GOP offer of $500B of tax increases over the next ten years (they are demanding a trillion), now seem intent on cutting the Defense budget 10%.

I’m fine with cutting the defense budget - just not without re-ordering their mission (i.e. I am tired of paying for the defense of the entire West while these silly little pretend nations can’t even stand-up a military larger than the NYPD and spend all their tax money on unsustainable welfare benefits - meaning, because defense of citizens and borders is the First responsibility of a[…]

Saudis still want America to prevent Iran getting a Bomb

This is not that hard.

Give a nuke missle to the Saudis. Make it a Minuteman 3. 10 MIRVs (Multiple Independently-targeted Reentry Vehicles). With pre-programmed launch, targeting and detonation altitude data that cannot be overridden (they can enter new data all they want, but the original will be what is acted upon).

Then when the Saudis fire it at Iran (and they will – they hate Iran and the Shias more than anyone hates anyone), those ten .475MT W88 warheads are gonna destroy: Mecca, Medina, Riyadh, Jeddah, Qom, Arak, Islamabad, Sanaa, Al Hudaydah, Kabul.

No American fingerprints. Doubtless the Saudis would announce they[…]

My Problems with the Libya Deal

Here are my problems with the Libya deal:

1. There was zero national interest for America - we went at the UN and Arab League’s request with not an ounce of input from Congress. Hard to be more anti-Constitutional than that. (Same, BTW, in Uganda right now.)

2. Obama pretended that NATO was in charge. By statute, the military leader of NATO is an American. So only the ignornat would think that by letting NATO run it, the US no longer was.

3. We said at the outset that the goal was not killing khaddafy. Yet when he was killed, we rejoiced: “We[…]

The Future of the Euro, the EU and Europe.. and social welfare

The Euro is the next dodo. Dead through over-use by those unwilling to use it responsibly.

The EU, built to forestall wars among Europeans who historically never stop fighting unless made to (like when sandwiched between the Warsaw Pact and NATO, but of course they began fighting immediately after the Pact dissolved), will follow. Turkey and the various non-European islamist states, having never educated their masses of ignorant peoples who still believe in the superstition of religion and have never had an Enlightenment or Reformation, now are running as hard as they can toward war in the Med. And of course[…]

Must-see video blog

Take a few minutes and appreciate a true defender of Western Civilization.

Both segments are priceless.

If the “leaders” of Western Civ felt as she does - and as Churchill did - we’d not be in nearly the trouble we are in.

The muslims Aren’t Happy!

They’re not happy in Gaza. They’re not happy in Egypt. They’re not happy in Tunisia. They’re not happy in Libya. They’re not happy in Morocco. They’re not happy in Iran. They’re not happy in Iraq. They’re not happy in Yemen. They’re not happy in Afghanistan. They’re not happy in Pakistan. They’re not happy in Syria. They’re not happy in Lebanon.

So where are they happy?

They’re happy in England. They’re happy in France. They’re happy in Italy. They’re happy in Germany. They’re happy in Sweden. They’re happy in the USA. They’re happy in Australia. They’re happy in Norway.

They’re happy in every country that is NOT Muslim.

And whom do they blame?

Not Islam. Not their leadership. Not themselves.

THEY BLAME THE COUNTRIES IN WHICH THEY[…]

A New Drink?

From a friend:

A guy goes into the bar to order a drink.

Bartender asks “What will you have?”

Guy says, “I’ll have an OBL.”

Bartender says, “What is that?”

Guy says, “Osama Bin Laden.”

Bartender says, “How do I make that?”

“Two shots and a splash of water. Go Navy. “

Can America Defeat Our Enemies?

Recently I sent a cartoonish video to a friend. The video showed some, well, shall we say, ‘less than intelligent’? behavior on the part of those living in what one assumes is South Asia. In reply, my friend asked, “Why is it that we can’t defeat these idiots???”

My reply:

We CAN defeat them any time we CHOOSE to do so.

The US has chosen NOT to go to war in pursuit of national goals since 1945. Nothing we have done on the field of combat since 1945 has been “war.” Armies are tools of policy; destroying an army - national or otherwise[…]
