I have been up late scouring the headlines, (I love that cliche, it makes one feel so official) and here is what I scoured up for you. First put aside the morning coffee for a moment and try something a little more refreshing The pause that refreshes ? .
After you have fortified yourself consider some of the unintended humor in some headlines. I do not know why this caught my attention, let's just say it is in The "Oh Really" category. Not really? I wish Jeremy Irons were here to help me understand why that made me laugh. Shall we go back to the tape? After that peak into my psyche, perhaps we should. Yeaaaah, let's do it. Roll the Tape .
All right, fun is over, back to business.

ReplyDeleteBUENOS AIRES (AFP) - Argentine prosecutors charged Iran and the Shiite militia Hezbollah with the 1994 bombing of a Jewish charities office in Argentina that killed 85 people and injured 300.
Prosecutors demanded an international arrest warrant for then-Iranian president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and six other top Iranian officials at the time of the attack, and a former Hezbollah foreign security service chief, Imad Fayez Moughnieh.
In a country with a murky record in pursuing the 12-year-old case, relatives and friends of the victims called on President Nestor Kirchner to take swift and strong action to bring it to trial.
In a statement, Argentine chief prosecutor Alberto Nisman declared: “We deem it proven that the decision to carry out an attack July 18, 1994 on the AMIA (the Argentine Jewish Mutual Association, a Jewish charities association headquarters in Buenos Aires) was made by the highest authorities of the Islamic Republic of Iran which directed Hezbollah to carry out the attack.”

Odd to hear all this teeth-knashing and dithering analysis with no mention of the out-of-control Militias that We Failed to ELIMINATE.
Earth to Bush:
Wars are about obliterating the enemy.

Defining Victory Away:
ReplyDelete"" Speculating again about the future, Rumsfeld said, "there will be no conventional wars in the near future and no way the military can win or lose a war."
I asked him what he meant. He replied, "We're socialized into believing the American military can go find somebody and kick the hell out of them, or find a battleship to sink, or an air force to shoot down. You can't do that in the 21st century"

That's exactly what York reports from his meeting with GWB.
So they both agree:
Killing the enemy when you can is just not an option:
Put into practice in Fallujah I, Tikrit, the Mahdi Army when it was miniscule.
On and on:
LOSERS!

Muslim insurgents in France are now packing heat
ReplyDeletePARIS — A group of armed attackers stormed a bus outside Paris early Thursday, forcing the passengers off and setting fire to the vehicle, the transport authority said.
It was one of at least three buses targeted in the last 24 hours, attacks that raised the specter of three weeks of fiery violence that rocked the country last year. No injuries were reported in any of the latest incidents.
Will the French authorities respond in kind? Or will they first try midnight basketball as a means to calm the storm?
All-in-all, I'd say things aren't going too well in TWAT. It now looks more like 1942 than 1938.
We may as all move to the next post.....Hattip Habu!!

Three Ways to War in Gaza
ReplyDeleteGiven Egyptian duplicity, there is a very real chance of Israeli action over and in Egyptian territory. How will the US deal with such a war? The answer to that question had better have been already thought through. Otherwise, refereeing a war between to clients is going to be embarrassing.
While some here and at the BC are more or less invested in a US-Iranian war in short order, it is becoming increasingly likely that an Israeli-Arab war will erupt beforehand.

A great link. Thanks.
Have you considered the timing of Ellis' leaving the US? Prohibition became law in 1920.
In reading of Ellis' personal demons, I was reminded of USAF Col. John Boyd. It seems prodigies come with a full complement of neuroses. For society to garner the fruits of genius, these tortured souls are best left to their own devices.

You have got to love the headline attribution: “Youths”. Not once were the words Muslim and Islam used. FOX news really dropped the ball on this one.
Will the French authorities respond in kind? Or will they first try midnight basketball as a means to calm the storm?
ReplyDeletePretty soon these thugs will run out of cars and buses to torch, and policemen to shoot, and they will inevitably turn on their own people, despite the pleas of the Imans in mosque, because that's what thugs do, only there will be no cars or buses for the people to escape with, or policemen to protect them. Eventually the outbreak will die out, but then the Islam-blighted areas of France will be even more desolate, but they will be bigger, and start to connect to each other. Very soon, there will only be little islands of light where the socialist "European Model" holds sway, but the only way to travel safely from one to the other will be by air, at least until the "youths" start "playing" with shoulder-fired missiles.
