We can’t help ourselves: Obama admin celebrates intel success a little too much

To the detriment of future operations. Much like our military successes during this administration. Makes you wonder, no, if the boasting has an ulterior motive? Or if the Obama-infatuated media can’t quite grasp that they arent helping their BFF out by printing the info gleaned? What a tangled web. From the UK Guardian, our friends across the pond [...]

Thanks, Obama, for another knife in the back of the military (but hey, protect those union BFFs at all costs!)

This gets tiring after a while. Why not just abolish the military and be done with it? (Or would that be too radical even for Barry O.? Probably not. Just wishful thinking on his part.) Via The Daley Gator, the Washington Free Beacon details how the new Obama budget protects all unionized government workers and [...]

Why are we still in Afghanistan?

John Hinderacker at Powerline says “Let’s Get Out.”  I’m inclined to agree. After more than a decade of fighting and “nation-building,” we’re left with a country only marginally better than it was before. Yes, the Taliban isn’t in power, terrorizing people. They’re just waiting in the shadows until we leave, terrorizing people. We cannot stay [...]

State Department cares enough to send the very best to family of American jihadi

Really? A condolence call? Via Hot Air, steel yourselves: An official from the U.S. State Department has called the Charlotte family of al-Qaida propagandist Samir Khan to offer the government’s condolences on his death in a U.S. drone attack last week in Yemen, according to a family spokesman. “They were very apologetic (for not calling [...]

I’m with her: Lan astaslem

Michelle Malkin attended a memorial service this morning at America the Beautiful Park here in Colorado Springs. I attended Mass. She left inspired and with her resolve intact. I left angry and disillusioned. My husband and I looked at each other in near disbelief this morning as our priest derided the aftermath of 9/11 much [...]

One more slap

What part of respecting family wishes do you not understand, Mr. President? If this had been GW, the press would be aghast, agape and agog over the insensitivity. From the AP [emphasis mine]: A White House photographer was allowed to take and widely distribute a photo from the ceremony Tuesday for the return of the remains of [...]

Dude.

There’s nothing left to say after bumping around in SoCal on terribly patched freeways paid for with some of the highest taxes in the nation. But the unions still get their dues and illegals all have free healthcare or something, so who cares that the endless stretches of bumpy highway remind me of recovering socialist countries in [...]

High school dropout convicted of working to war against the country

He wanted to wage jihad against American forces in Afghanistan. Just a hint: he wasn’t Mormon. Or Methodist, for that matter. Move along, nothing to see here! UPDATE: linked as a “Featured Blog” at Pundette‘s. Thanks!

DOD to open PC multiculturalist code-naming department

So no one’s panties get twisted too hard. Onagonda Nation leaders blast ‘Geronimo’ code name for bin Laden. From the story: Onondaga Nation Territory — Leaders of the Onondaga Nation blasted as “reprehensible” the code name used for Osama bin Laden in the commando assault that killed him: “Geronimo.” “We’ve ID’d Geronimo,” U.S. forces reported by [...]

White House alters bin Laden account?

 Via Politico, the story changes: The White House backed away Monday evening from key details in its narrative about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, including claims by senior U.S. officials that the Al Qaeda leader had a weapon and may have fired it during a gun battle with U.S. forces. Officials also retreated [...]
