war on terror

The U.S. 'War on Terror' was never a war on terror! A terrorist walks - Luis Posada Carriles has boasted of bombing Havana hotels, yet American justice lets him go free (L.A. Times, Apr. 20, 2007)

Secret ‘Kill List’ Proves a Test of Obama’s Principles and Will A review of what Obama has done so far as Commander in Chief.

I came across an article in the Guardian just now about the how the US government imposes sexual humiliation as a tool of control- from arbitrary strip searches to TSA pat downs and body scans. Is this benevolent policy that keeps us safe or is this designed to make us more dehumanized and thus...

Back a bit Newt gave a talk where he alleged that secular Americans were actively trying to let Muslim terrorists win and take over the USA. At the time he wasn't even running for President so no one much took it up with him at the time. But now he is running for President and since the...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100216/ap_on_re_as/afghanistan_taliban ISLAMABAD – The Taliban's top military commander has been arrested in a joint CIA-Pakistani operation in Pakistan in a major victory against the insurgents as U.S. troops push into their heartland in southern Afghanistan...

After the big terrorist scare of the underpants bomber, we are seeing once again a big review of airport security, and even more stringent passenger checks. Equally there are calls for an investigation as to why someone on a "watchlist" was able to carry out the attempted attack....... but...

Yikes! From the AP: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_airliner_disturbance ROMULUS, Mich. – A Nigerian man who said he was an agent for al-Qaida tried to blow up a Northwest Airlines plane Friday as it was preparing to land in Detroit, but travelers who smelled smoke and heard what sounded like...

How did a guy get ANY kind of incendiaries past security? Does Europe give a damn? What's up? Or has the war on terrorism become a US only problem?

It is true that Gitmo and US fighting against the Taliban, etc., provokes the enemy -- Al Quaeda, Iran, numerous other Islamofascist groups and states -- into wanting to kill Americans. But NOT fighting back ALSO provokes the enemy -- Al Quaeda, Iran, numerous other Islamofascist groups and...

Once again, Obama has the choice of doing it the way "human rights advocates" suggest or the Bush way, and he's chosen the correct course: I'll give Obama credit; he's much more of a pragmatist than I realized. Preventative detention seems like a solid tool for use in the war on terror, and I...

[URL="http://crooksandliars.com/susie-madrak/it-criminal-yet-human-rights-report-u"] Did anyone hear about this before? After all, the report is from 2006.

While I'm always somewhat skeptical of released detainees claiming horrific abuse--seeing as how it is a good way for them to get some fame--there is documented and incontrovertible evidence that abuse of detainees did happen on a number of occasions. What gets me is that an excuse, that is...

Okay. I understand the resistance and objections to the invasion of Iraq. I don't agree with it but I understand it. What I don't quite understand is the historical resistance and continued protest against operations in Afghanistan. I'm not talking about criticism of particular tactics or...

In other Words, Pakistan is suspending it's War on Terror campaign to safe it's economy. Maybe they should start thinking about selling some of their 300 nukes to Iran now.

Al Qaeda's No. 2 takes questions via the Internet Apparantly Ayman al-Zawahri, Osama bin Laden's deputy, has been accepting questions from the public via the Internet. Among the questions submitted:

I don't want to make too much of this, but I think it's worth noting: Bin Laden's son calls for peace It's somewhat encouraging that Osama bin Laden's own son, who was training in al Qaeda's camps at age 14, is now calling for his father to change his ways. I don't imagine that it will make a...

http://rawstory.com/news/2007/CRS_warns_about_uselessness_of_FBIemployed_0102.html I think "falefel hunt" about sums this one up. Wonder if Billo will cover it?

So for those that claim the War on Terror has only brought misery and bad into this world (believe me I dealt with these people a lot when I showed up at anti-war protests to heckle the naive hippy set) here is some crow to eat...

Did you know that it's Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week?

The Lost War is an excellent article that reveals how futile and counterproductive the so-called "War on Drugs" is. This is not to suggest that illicit drugs or drug addiction are harmless, but rather that our punative approach to dealing with them causes more harm than it prevents. Simply put...

story So two guys try and get into the United States from Great Britain, they're both British citizens. One has a grandparent who was born in Pakistan, one doesn't. You're telling me that the guy with the Pakistani Grandparent would have to get a Visa to get into the USA while the other guy...

Bush predicts victory in long struggle against terrorism POSTED: 12:21 p.m. EDT, September 4, 2006 SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (CNN) -- Just as the United States persevered in the long ideological struggles against fascism and communism in the 20th century, President Bush predicted Thursday that the...

OK, so I'm a day late. But it's four years since the "War on Terror" began. I have some questions for President Bush. Perhaps I shall send them to him personally, but I thought I'd post them here first, in case anyone would like to add their own questions or comments. 1. Mr. Bush, from...

Bush: When I say "we cannot win the WOT," I mean "we will win the WOT." Herald tribune To be fair, GWB is saying we can win because after he expressed doubts, all the Democrats said, "we can win, we can win." Bush could have elaborated on his remark and explained the difficulties in...
