Pajamas Media has a blockbuster report on Islamic Penetration into the DOD…why am I not surprised?

Pierre Legrand’s Pink Flamingo Bar

After all the Commander and Chief of this once great country likes to hang out with terrorists.

For more than fifty years, the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) has been one of the leading government-sponsored and -funded research institutions, conducting highly classified research for the military and intelligence community’s most secret projects. Pajamas Media » Blog Archive » Your Tax Dollars Funding Terror

No doubt you are wondering what am I smoking to be making those sorts of accusations towards the man who once said.

Our war on terror begins with al Qaeda, but it does not end there.  It will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped and defeated.  (Applause.)

Who further said that very same night.

Our response involves far more than instant retaliation and isolated strikes.  Americans should not expect one battle, but a lengthy campaign, unlike any other we have ever seen.  It may include dramatic strikes, visible on TV, and covert operations, secret even in success.  We will starve terrorists of funding, turn them one against another, drive them from place to place, until there is no refuge or no rest.  And we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism.  Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.  (Applause.)  From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime.

But who days before had been hanging out with a terrorist.

9/14/2001 President Bush plays patsy cake with Islamic “Leaders” at a Washington “Prayer” service for the victims of 9/11. The rubble is still smoking and President Bush has at his side, Abdurahaman Alamoudi who US Intelligence suspected of having ties to the people who knocked the buildings down in the first goddamn place. Our Islamic friend Abdurahaman goes on to be prosecuted for terrorist ties and is now serving time. But it gets even better! Also at our President’s side is Muzzammil Siddiqi the spiritual leader of the Islamic Society of Orange county and who had claimed an year earlier that the US deserved to be attacked for our ties.

Muzzammil had served as a translator for Blind Sheikh Omar Abdul-Rahman whilst he lectured about violent jihad. And since it can only get worse in attendance at these lectures were such terrorist luminaries as Adam Gadahn and Khalil Deek who were part of a Al Qaeda Sleeper cell operating in the States. 

And Bush is praying with these folks. Praying for what? Brains? Can you imagine how hard those “peaceful muslims” were laughing at our “Commander in Chief”?

So it is not a surprise at all that we should find DOD infiltrated with Islamic terrorists. Actually it is probably a lot worse than just a couple of Departments.

Lets not forget out “Commander in Chief” literally holding hands with the major sponsor of terrorism in the world!

Tip Toe Through the Tulips with You...

So go over to PJ Media and read this story and weep for this country. Weep for the imbeciles who elected such leaders as Carter, Bush, Clinton and Bush. We do not want to be bothered with the details of running our country but details have a knack of rising up and smacking us upside of our heads. If we wait long enough the details will smack so hard we will die.


FITNA Live Leak intimidated by Muslim Hordes…Google to the rescue…

Live Leak had to pull this video because:

“Following threats to our staff of a very serious nature, and some ill informed reports from certain corners of the British media that could directly lead to the harm of some of our staff, Liveleak.com has been left with no other choice but to remove Fitna from our servers. This is a sad day for freedom of speech on the net but we have to place the safety and well being of our staff above all else. We would like to thank the thousands of people, from all backgrounds and religions, who gave us their support. They realised LiveLeak.com is a vehicle for many opinions and not just for the support of one. Perhaps there is still hope that this situation may produce a discussion that could benefit and educate all of us as to how we can accept one anothers culture. We stood for what we believe in, the ability to be heard, but in the end the price was too high.” Brennan

Apparently Google still had it up and I was able to get an English Copy. This video needs to go viral…which it has. But we all need to post it. A point is being made that the Muslims who get upset need to understand. Freedom of speech is paramount to freedom itself. We may not like what we say about each other but we better not force the other guy to shut up.

Warming Stopped 10 Years Ago? Nothing to see here, move along!

Just this week we found out in this post that the Oceans were not warming, indeed there was a slight cooling (you might think that would get mentioned now and again) going on. Now we find out that a satellite we sent up in 2002 is turning over many of the premises scientists thought they knew about our climate models. And not only that but other signs indicate that our temperatures have not gone up for the last ten years that indeed again there had been a slight cooling. Hmm you might think that would get mentioned now and again? Hat tip Glenn Reynolds. Don’t miss the part at the end of this post that I have highlighted in red and bold and underlined…it is outrageous.

Duffy asked Marohasy: (Marohasy, a biologist and senior fellow of Melbourne-based think tank the Institute of Public Affairs) Is the Earth still warming?”

She replied: “No, actually, there has been cooling, if you take 1998 as your point of reference. If you take 2002 as your point of reference, then temperatures have plateaued. This is certainly not what you’d expect if carbon dioxide is driving temperature because carbon dioxide levels have been increasing but temperatures have actually been coming down over the last 10 years.”


The Corner Translates Henry Kissinger and yup he thinks democratization is dumb too.

A long time ago in another life when I labored under the illusion that I could make a difference I wrote an over long but fact filled piece that got about 10 hits. Democracy a fools errand or our only way out? Jeane Kirkpatrick responds In this article I set about tearing up the idea that Democracy was some sort of a good idea. The idea for centering the article around Jeanne Kirkpatrick came to me after her passing while I was catching up on her brilliance as our UN Ambassador. Ronald Reagan knew how to pick them. In the particular piece that caught Reagan’s eye was a absolutely damning argument against forcing democracy onto everyone. You can read this wonderful article for yourself here.

Well I am glad to see that Henry Kissinger has confirmed my belief that this Crusade President Bush has launched in the Middle East will not accomplish our main goal, securing our future from terror nations. Here is Henry Kissinger via the Corner:


Pentagon looking for ass with both hands comes up empty…Saddam’s Connections to Al Qaeda IS a Slam Dunk!

UPDATED: Ed Morrissey at Hot Air talking about the parts of the Pentagon report that were not covered in the Executive Summary.

Well it is just about time to publish this again seeing how the Pentagon insists on being dumb with reports like this one.  Next thing you know our government will be declaring that Islam is the religion of peace…oops. 

Why did I make this list of Saddam’s Connections and Collaborations with Al Qaeda?
This list started out as just an area to drop links that I found relevant regarding the most obvious reason for taking Saddam out of power, his use of Islamic terrorists to wage war by proxy. To me this aspect of Saddam’s madness has always been the central reason for deposing him. We could not allow any Dictator who believed in using Islamic terrorists as proxies to have any sort of major weapons. The crux was his desire to use Islamic terrorists as proxies in wars against us, which he states as a viable strategy against us in the first example I provide below.


Fun things I did on Summer Vacation…leaked secret attempts to stop nuclear war CHECK, leaked bungles of the CIA CHECK…weeee!

The audacity and idiocy of the press continues unabated. Certainly much of this is driven by the fact that no one feels much danger these days. But regardless believing that it is immoral to force a reporter to give up his sources when those very same sources are breaking some very serious laws strikes me as absurd. Naturally it doesn’t strike the press corps as absurd…they have a right to aid and abet treachery in our supposedly secret services.


Walid Phares endorses Mitt

Some say that McCain’s strongest point is his desire to take the war to the enemy. But to me Bush’s weakest point was the fact that he never properly identified his enemy. Neither has McCain.

Mitt on the otherhand has indeed identified Global Jihadism as the enemy and he did it a long time ago. When I heard him speak in Baton Rouge near the beginning of the race he was talking about Global Jihadism. Don’t we want someone who will take the battle to the enemy instead of reacting to the enemy? I do.

Here is Mr. Phares making that exact point.

Senator McCain says it is “Radical Islam,” and pledges to increase the current level of involvement. On Iraq, the former Navy Pilot says he will continue to fight till there are no more enemies to fight. To me that is a trenches battlefield: We’ll pound them till they have no more trenches. Governor Romney says the enemy is Global Jihadism, and it has more than the one battlefield of Iraq. And because the Jihadists are in control of regimes, interests and omnipresent in the region and worldwide, the US counter strategies cannot and should not be limited to “entrenchment” but to counter attacks, preemptive moves and putting allies forces on the existing and new battlefields. Besides not all confrontations have to be militarily. The difference in wording between the general term “radical Islam” and the focused threat doctrine “Jihadism” says it all. One leads to concentrate one type of power in one place, regardless of what the enemy is and wants to do, and the other concept lead to pinch the foe from many places on multiple levels and decide over the ending process of the conflict.

Forcing Democracy into the Square Peg of Islam…

Pierre Legrand’s Pink Flamingo Bar

Andrew McCarthy gets it right again when he bemoans the idiocy of trying to impose democracy onto Islamic nations.

A recent CNN poll showed that 46 percent of Pakistanis approve of Osama bin Laden.

Aspirants to the American presidency should hope to score so highly in the United States. In Pakistan, though, the al-Qaeda emir easily beat out that country�s current president, Pervez Musharraf, who polled at 38 percent. Andrew C. McCarthy on Benazir Bhutto on National Review Online

Not much mentioned is the Pew Poll that in 2003 showed Bin Laden with 58% support among the Muslims in the most populous Islamic Nation, Indonesia. Let that sink in for a moment or two.  A mere year and a half after the worst mass murdering terrorist attack in history had occurred the people of Indonesia, who are supposedly moderate/mainstream, thought Bin Laden was A-Ok. Here is the Pew Poll showing those numbers alongside the updated 07.14.05 numbers.  Btw before you claim that 2005 was long ago the 2007 numbers went up for Indonesia.  Now 41% of those moderate/mainstream Muslims in Indonesia have high confidence in Bin Laden.

That is a bit worrisome is it not?  Now exactly why do we want to give these folks the right to vote?  Perhaps it is better for us if they are ruled by strongmen that we fund and equip to hold down the overwhelming number ignorant folks under their country’s banner.  Personally I don’t see a need for democracy.  I see a much bigger need for us to make it clear that you may love Bin Laden in your hearts but if you support him with your wallets, or worse, we will send folks to visit that will remove you from the equation for the rest of your life.  Enough of this pandering to Islam. 

For instance it has come out that there is a fight inside of the Pentagon between an Islamic nutjob Hasham Islam who is the “right-hand” man for the Assistant Sec of Defense, you cannot make this stuff up, and the primary analyst responsible for defining Islamic Extremism, Stephen Coughlin.


President Sarkozy, your welcome. Thank you for stating what my family believed as well!

We thank the French for defeating the Islamic armies at Tours, your country’s heroism saved Western Civilization.

President Sarkozy of France delivered this speech to a joint session of Congress. Pearls before swine but not all of Congress are useless leeches, witness Senator Inouye

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The men and women of my generation heard their grandparents talk about how in 1917, America saved France at a time when it had reached the final limits of its strength, which it had exhausted in the most absurd and bloodiest of wars.

The men and women of my generation heard their parents talk about how in 1944, America returned to free Europe from the horrifying tyranny that threatened to enslave it.

Fathers took their sons to see the vast cemeteries where, under thousands of white crosses so far from home, thousands of young American soldiers lay who had fallen not to defend their own freedom but the freedom of all others, not to defend their own families, their own homeland, but to defend humanity as a whole.  

Fathers took their sons to the beaches where the young men of America had so heroically landed. They read them the admirable letters of farewell that those 20-year-old soldiers had written to their families before the battle to tell them: We don’t consider ourselves heroes. We want this war to be over. But however much dread we may feel, you can count on us. Before they landed, Eisenhower told them: The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.

And as they listened to their fathers, watched movies, read history books and the letters of soldiers who died on the beaches of Normandy and Provence, as they visited the cemeteries where the star-spangled banner flies, the children of my generation understood that these young Americans, 20 years old, were true heroes to whom they owed the fact that they were free people and not slaves. France will never forget the sacrifice of your children.

To those 20-year-old heroes who gave us everything, to the families of those who never returned, to the children who mourned fathers they barely got a chance to know, I want to express France?s eternal gratitude.

On behalf of my generation, which did not experience war but knows how much it owes to their courage and their sacrifice; on behalf of our children, who must never forget; to all the veterans who are here today and, notably the seven I had the honor to decorate yesterday evening, one of whom, Senator Inouye, belongs to your Congress, I want to express the deep, sincere gratitude of the French people. I want to tell you that whenever an American soldier falls somewhere in the world, I think of what the American army did for France. I think of them and I am sad, as one is sad to lose a member of one?s family.


U.S. Confirms Israeli Strikes Hit Syrian Targets…Saddam’s Nuclear Program Found?

You know I remember reports circulating that claimed Saddam’s nuclear goods such as they were had been moved to Syria. Those reports were squashed by an unlikely set of allies, anti war freaks and various intelligence sources who obviously didn’t want their respective agencies blamed for the loss. When you stop to think about who had anything to gain from finding Saddam’s weapons program in Syria the list is awfully short and doesn’t include anyone in the Government. We might have expected patriotic Democrats to highlight this administrations failure to stop the very action we went to war to prevent but on one hand most Democrats have thrown their lot in with MoveOn and the rest are laying low.


9/11 In Video, Never Forget


Don Quixote’s letter to the President, tilting at windmills can be fun

UPDATE: September 22, 2003 was the original publish date for this missive. I believed back then and events have done nothing to convince me otherwise that the Administration was making a grevious error by trying to justify the war in Iraq using the violations of UN sanctions as justification. I guessed and apparently got it right that keeping the American people believing in the war was crucial. We have squandered that advantage by approaching the justification for war in Iraq as a legal exercise. To me it is no coincidence that support for the war was at it’s highest when the American people believed that Saddam had a part in 9/11.


Making a fuss about the drop in applause for Suicide Bombing…but oopsy Bin Laden still riding high!

While it might be good news that there is a drop in support for suicide bombing it is also true that it might be a tad early to call this election. Consider the “moderate” state of Indonesia where the acclaimed mass murderer Bin Laden is still showing as strongly as ever. Don’t let that Pew Poll fool ya in 2005 Binny Baby was polling at 38% so his support has actually edged up.


The Problem Child Iran, thinking out of the box…yes we can!

Was visiting Captains Quarters tonight and came across a post where the Captain is worrying about reports that Vice President Cheney is going to convince President Bush to launch a war against Iran. Now first off worrying about reports emanating from the Guardian is a bit like worrying about reports from CBS. Not very likely that reality and those reports have much in common. But…


Bill Clinton apologizes for allowing Al Qaeda to gather strength during his administration…well he should!

Pierre Legrand’s Pink Flamingo Bar

So then Bill Clinton a man who was busy seducing a fat intern while Al Qaeda launched it’s war on the United States has the sheer audacity to claim that President Bush has forgotten about Bin Gone. Oops I forget its an article of faith with the cowardly left that Bin Laden is, one still alive, two relevant even if he isn’t a collection of dust finding its way to hell. Watch and learn kiddies if you want to be a world class liar then you must make up the most outrageous sorts of lies. And Bill “the meaning of is” Clinton’s only legacy to the country is his legendary ability to tell people what they want to hear no matter how far away from the truth he must stray.

Bill Clinton accused President George W. Bush on Friday of having “forgotten about our hunt for bin Laden,” and told Newsday the president’s Iraq policy had spawned swarms of new terror recruits. Speaking during his first New Hampshire appearance with his wife, Democratic candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton, the former president agreed with a recent intelligence report indicating the al-Qaida terror organization has regrouped to pre-Sept. 11 levels. Bill Clinton slams Bush’s Iraq plan - Newsday.com

So then let’s review what was going on during the time that Bill Clinton was finding the right size cigar for his overweight intern’s secret places. This partial list does not include such fun little items like the attempted assassination of Former President Bush. The full list minus the assassination attempt can be seen at of Powerline

    * February 26, 1993: Islamic terrorists try to bring down the World Trade Center with car bombs. They failed to destroy the buildings, but killed 6 and injured over 1000 people. (Editors Note: it did not fail by a large margin. Had it succeeded there would have been no warning and upwards of 100,000 people might have died. Also note that there were two main bomb builders, Ramsey Yousef and Abdul Rahman Yasin.

    Ramsey went on to attempt to down 11 US Aircraft and Abdul Rahman Yasin after being interviewed by the FBI was released and immediately flew back to Iraq. Where ABC News interviewed him. All of his expenses were being paid by the Saddam’s Iraq. Course Cigar Boy wants us to believe that Saddam is irrelevant to terror)

      1993 World Trade Tower Bombing

    What is truly fascinating about this report is that there is NO mention of ABDUL RAHMAN YASIN the 2nd bomb maker that the FBI interviewed and then released. Wouldn’t they want to let us know that he went back to Iraq?

    * December 11, 1994: A bomb explodes on board Philippine Airlines Flight 434, killing a Japanese businessman. It develops that Ramzi Yousef planted the bomb to test it for the larger terrorist attack he is planning.

    * December 24, 1994: In a preview of September 11, Air France Flight 8969 is hijacked by Islamic terrorists who planned to crash the plane in Paris.

    * January 6, 1995: Operation Bojinka, an Islamist plot to bomb 11 U.S. airliners over the Pacific Ocean, is discovered on a laptop computer in a Manila, Philippines apartment by authorities after a fire occurred in the apartment. Noted terrorists including Ramzi Yousef and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed are involved in the plot.

    * June 25, 1996: The Khobar Towers bombing, carried out by Hezbollah with Iranian support. Nineteen U.S. servicemen were killed and 372 wounded.

    * November 17, 1997: Massacre in Luxor, Egypt, in which Islamist gunmen attack tourists, killing 62 people.

    * August 7, 1998: Al Qaeda bombs U.S. embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya, killing 225 people and injuring more than 4,000.

    * December 14, 1998: Ahmed Ressam is arrested on the United States?Canada border in Port Angeles, Washington; he confessed to planning to bomb the Los Angeles International Airport as part of the 2000 millennium attack plots.

    * January 2000: The last of the 2000 millennium attack plots fails, as the boat meant to bomb USS The Sullivans sinks.

    * October 12, 2000: AL Qaeda bombs USS Cole with explosive-laden speedboat, killing 17 US sailors and wounding 40, off the port coast of Aden, Yemen.

Maybe, just maybe a list like that might, just might, have given a less centered person a hint that as the leader of the free world something needed to be done. You know besides sending the keystone cops after Bin Laden and such. After all Bin Laden declared war on the US on Clintons watch…and Clinton did nearly nothing about it.

  BIN LADEN DECLARES WAR ON THE US 1998

So then with all that he didn’t do after all the warnings he had this clown has the temerity to attack President Bush. It is a measure of how out of touch the left is with the facts of the matter. They simply do not know what has happened. They do not care.

Path to 9/11 a show that absolutely drove Democrats NUTS…watch this clip to the end and see why.

 

It is absurd to believe that we can allow these Democrats back into the White House and have the end result be anything but a veil of tears for the people of the United States.

President Bush has many warts but the Clinton’s should be careful of comparing themselves against him in regards to this war. And Republicans do not allow the meme to develop that because we do not like specific actions that President has taken that we believe the Clinton’s or some other Democrat might do a better job in the single most important issue of our time the war against Islamic Radicals.

Regime of Terror BLOG OF THE DAY!

BLOG OF THE DAY 

Some terrific refutation of the meme that Saddam was not linked to terror going on over at the Regime of Terror. You should visit.

Link to Regime of Terror


Standards of evidence…who sets them…and whose side are the judges on?

Walter Williams over at Capitalism Magazine wonders about how we might create a credible disincentive to a nuclear attack on this country. He references a Victor Davis Hanson article that I discussed here. Not surprisingly he falls into the same trap as Dr. Hanson. This threat only works if those countries you are threatening believe without a doubt two very doubtful facts about the United States.

If there is an attack on our country, with weapons of mass destruction, the first thing we can expect is for country officials to deny any responsibility. Hanson says that we should beforehand tell the leaders of Middle East countries that if there’s an attack on the United States, we will hold them responsible if they’re proven to have aided or sheltered the terrorists.

Holding the country responsible would mean that in response to an attack we’d totally destroy their military bases, power plants, communication facilities and, if necessary, totally destroy their major cities.  Source: Creating Effective Incentives by Walter Williams — Capitalism Magazine

This might work if the countries you threatened actually believed these two items. Lets forget for a moment those countries that might be led by irrational actors. Ask yourself if any leader bent on destroying this country actually believes these next two items.

  1. That given the current climate of distrust inside and outside of the government and the startling amount of polarization between the parties that any agreement on the “evidence” of which country might have aided those terrorists would be even released much less debated. Anyone who still believes that the CIA is acting in this countries interest with nary a thought to politics simply isn’t paying attention.
  2. Furthermore, that the American people would agree to risk more attacks if the choice was between more attacks or removing ourselves from certain nasty regions of the world. Will trumps weapons and money every single time they are tested against one another.

He believes that other country’s, who might be involved in the production of the sorts of weapons he fears, do not understand the obvious fact that we would be so convulsed by competing theories on who did it that we would be paralyzed by debating the evidence. For instance we have more than a few folks running around near the levers of power in this country who believe that 9/11 was NOT conducted by Arab terrorists but by nefarious folks inside of our government. That used to be funny now its getting a bit worrisome. Certainly all of this conspires to render any sort of threat we might make laughable.


Al Gore taking Richard Perle’s side against Saddam…you have to see it.

Al Gore making the case for Saddam being linked to terror…back in 1992 when it was important. You know when he was bashing Reagan and Bush in the election. My how times change.

Say what you will but the days of being able to make claims like this and hoping that it will disappear into the rabbit hole of history are gone. Hat tip to Powerline and Hot Air…y’all are what keep me going.

FBI talks about 6 Terrorists arrested in NJ but forgets to mention the 4 they let go…hmmmm.

Pierre Legrand’s Pink Flamingo Bar

This is a worrisome trend in our fight against the Islamic Radicals making war against our civilization. No not the fact that we are employing the FBI, though that isindeed worrisomee. What is the most worrisome is our Government agencies not telling us the score regarding the arrests they do make. See there were 10 Terrorists originally seen in the video. Four were not arrested because of lack of evidence. The four were not arrested even though they were seen in the video firing weapons and shouting Allah Akbar along with the six now in custody. Apparently there was not enough evidence to arrest them. The idiocy of treating this as a law enforcement issue was dealt with here.

Now we have this follow on article where the FBI is telling us all about terrorism and not a single word about the ones they didn’t arrest. Boy its sure neat to have the FBI tell us about terrorism. These are the same wizards who let the second most important person of the 1993 World Trade Tower Bombing go free after they questioned him. Naturally he immediately escaped to Iraq, not that anyone brags about that these days. Feels like I am getting a briefing on terrorism from the&n
