William Kristol wrote an essay in his magazine, the Weekly Standard.  It is well written and worthy of comment. Kristol’s thesis is that when we renounced the world badge and beat, we ended up with 9/11.  But Kristol confuses the Cold War with the post-war era.  I certainly agree with him that we were too [...]

I was amused about the comments of a US general who was fired for inappropriate comments in public about the Afghan government: In a recent interview with the website Politico, Fuller characterized Afghan leaders as erratic, ungrateful and isolated from reality. The interview quotes him as saying Afghan leaders don’t fully recognize America’s sacrifices on [...]

Doug Ross has an interesting post that expresses just what I was thinking: The Master Chief reminds us that the dumbest vice president in American history likely played a role in the tragedy that saw 31 special operators killed, 25 of whom served in the ultra top-secret SEAL Team Six. …It is believed that many [...]

MP Rory Stewart, OBE, spoke some time ago on a subject very near to his heart:  Afghanistan.  Here is a column on it from ConservativeHome.  Stewart takes a humanitarian but generally non-interventionist position on continued UK troop involvement in the nation.  Here is a quote from the cited article of Ian Parker in the New [...]

Who knew it was possible? Of the Obamacare Gang of 219, Alan Grayson (FL-8), is the most reprehensible, detestable bomb thrower in the House of Representatives.  He is using his considerable war chest to compare his opponent, Daniel Webster , to the….Taliban.   I guess Mr. Webster’s Christianity is on a parallel to those beheading, stoning, raping and defiling savages, the Taliban.  Is this Grayson’s idea of mirth? I guess the usual reference to Republicans as being Nazis wasn’t nasty enough for the classless Mr. Grayson, the one term Congressman from the Magic Kingdom and surrounds. You remember Grayson, right?  Die quickly? Here he is undercutting the Troops with his ’War is making you Poor’ act. To further torture you, here is the lovable Mr. Grayson, accusing Republicans of taking food out of the mouths of children because they required a means to pay for the Democrats extension of unemployment benefit to nearly two years.  Never mind that there are food stamps, S…

I want to thank Chris Stirewalt for his wise article in the DC Examiner (courtesy of RCP).  I want to reserve comment on whether Michael Steele should be fired or not; that’s up to the Republican National Committee.  However, Stirewalt raises several crucial issues.  First, we have the fact that 9/11 did start the conflict in [...]

I wrote two months ago at Virginia Right and Conflicted Libertarian about the Young Turks of the Tory Party – young MPs recently elected to the British Parliament who might have an impact.  It nearly caused me to have a midlife crisis!  But the most prominent of the Young Turks is Rory Stewart.  He has [...]

This administration is loathe to admit we are still at war with radical Islamic terrorists. Or more correctly that the terrorists are at war with us. For President Obama and Janet Napolitano, their “dream terrorist” is a Christian Militia affiliated white male.

1. A Pakistani Taliban terror group claimed responsibility.
2. “We are looking for a white male in his 40′s”
3. We are looking for an Asian
4. We are looking for a Pakistani-American
5. There is no international link
6. 8 more were arrested in Pakistan in connection with the NYC bombing attempt

And they wonder why they have no credibility in the world.

So, Big Sis will most likely blame America for this bomb, rather than radical Islam, but the facts are in. Pakistani Taliban set the bomb. Guess where the vehicle came from? If you said Texas you get a cigar.

Wonder how the terrorists got to Texas? Let’s see. Which foreign country borders on Texas? I remember! The one Obama wants to ignore! Mexico. Something about civil rights, something Obama clearly believes should be extended to Mexicans and Pakistanis. Texans, Arizonans and New Yorkers don’t need no stinking civil rights.

This Administration never ceases to amaze me. When the Underwear Bomber Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab was captured and arrested, it didn’t take long for word to leak that those crazy Americans in the Obama Administration had Mirandized the Fruit of the Kaboom loony and he had lawyered up.

Virginia Right! decided not to run with the criticism that was going around on the right. The reason behind the decision to remain silent was the hope that the Administration had intentionally leaked the story to make it appear Obama had once again shot America in the foot. We believed it possible and prudent to let others believe the would-be terrorist had clammed up after 50 minutes. And perhaps Obama was crazy like a fox on this.

That’s what you liberals wanted, right? Abdullah Ghulam Rasoul was released in 2007 under pressure from the Democrats and is now back in fighting form killing Americans. I am so glad Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are running things now. Just think, if you had not let this mad man out, he would be sitting in Gitmo right now bored to death.
