Isn’’t THIS convenient. Cina and Iran are sealing a major oilfield development deal.
So, the UNSC is now out of play.
My disdain for diplomacy deepens. Diplomats suck, generals get things settled.

The mullahs, the real power in Iran, have said WEAPONS FREE. Is there any sane person who will assert that it is NOT time to defang this menace????
This is Munich 1938, all over again. If we blink, if we back down, then ALOT of people are going to be immolated and poisoned.
Hat tip: […]

That’s it - I’m done. Screw this nonsense, and the practitioners thereof.
It’s the 21st century, for crying out loud. And you Muslims have FOR CENTURIES had images of your so called prophet produced, most notably by the Persians!
If you want a culture war, so be it. Let it begin.
The Zombietime Mohammed Image […]

1) How long till the next suicide attack in Israel?
2) How long till Israel invades (to secure the area, so to say)?
3) How’s the Iranian manure affect all this?
1) With a *known* anti-Israeli organization in power in Palestine, I fully expect that terror attacks will spike, regardless of anything the PA […]

In today’s Dallas Morning News, Robert Kaplan had a column on how the armed forces are overwhelmingly Republican voters, and why this is so.
It’s a fairly blunt look at some reasons as he observed during 2 embeds with our troops.
The problem for the Democrats today is that they are, in the current form, wholly […]

From Malkin’s site:
Near the end of the marathon session, a Vietnam veteran, General Wagner, stepped up to the microphone to deliver a message from the mother of an Iraqi war vet who gave his life for his country and for the mission. After reading a scathing letter addressed to Murtha, Wagner talked about his own […]

On the web, the term “pwned” is really very juvenile, but, damn, that is the one and only word I can think of to describe fully this gem on the Mudville Gazette.
Video from CSPAN here.
Uurah to Malkin.
“Yes sir my name is Mark Seavey and I just want to thank you for coming up here. Until […]

For the unitiated, I have plugged the book Shattered Sword on here a couple of times. I have several reasons:
1) It’s a DAMNED fine book - I’d wager HEAVILY that this will be THE reference volume when people look to see what the IJN did in the battle of Midway. Well, people who […]

I got it for Christmas from elgato at SwankyCon. I just finished it off, and I loved it.
Mind you, it’s not the sort of book that you love because it’s uplifting. On the contrary, all it did was remind me of how ill the body politic is right now. Frankly, the woman […]

Go Navy!
The combined land, aerial, and sea forces that the Navy Dept. will bring to bear on those hapless Hudsonites will a spectacle for the ages!
Why, I’m getting all randy, nay, ZESTY, thinking about it!

Front Page Mag has the scoop on them.
Once again, it’s all spelled out. One of these years, I hope that this charade of the war being about WMDs that “never existed” will finally die a quick death.

A new blog, called “The Officers’ Club” (which I have become quite the fan of) has an article on the assymetric nature of fighting terror. To the point, how do you do, without giving up your principles.
For some time now, I’ve been pointing out that the War on Terrorism (and the War in Iraq…which […]

So the so called President of Iran is sounding like Hitler’s channeler, or truly, Hitler reincarnate.
Why?
Here’s what I see as going on.
1) Iran has on it’s East border Afghanistan - which has gone through 2 successful rounds of voting. They even have “un-Burqa-ed” women in uniform. Holy Jihad! A democracy is growing! […]

The Australian reports:

[…]
The document also foreshadows a strengthening of tentative security links between Japan and Australia, the key southern partner in the Americans’ Asia-Pacific alliance network.
It calls […]

1st) Peggy Noonan in today’s WSJ. Elgato doesn’t share her cynicism, but this really put into words a feeling I’ve had for some time.
2nd) Jen Martinez has a post from a LTC in Fallujah, about how the US media is the enemy’s best ally. I could not agree more.

From Michelle Malkin:
Berkeley’s Veterans Day ceremony, scheduled for Nov. 11, was abruptly canceled on Monday because the volunteer organizing committee split over the political content.
At issue was a proposal by the chairman, singer/songwriter Country Joe McDonald, to have Bill Mitchell, a co-founder of Cindy Sheehan’s organization, Gold Star Families for Peace, as the keynote speaker.
Mitchell’s […]
