Encouraging National Suicide

Monday, June 7th, 2010

Palestinian apologists just don't get it.  The Nation calls the Israeli blockade of Gaza "inexcusable".  They bemoan the plight of the people in Gaza due to the Israeli opposition to the ruling Hamas terrorists.  Those people ELECTED the Hamas terrorists.  As the Obamessiah's legions are fond of saying, elections have ...

Obama and Iran: Cool Under Fire

Friday, June 19th, 2009

Pat Buchanan is correct:  In the Great Game, President Obama's non-interference in Iran's ' Square moment' (Buchanan's phrase) is smart.  We are not liked by any faction of significance in Iran, and our support would amount to a de facto kiss of death.  Not only that, but we cannot ...

Cheney: Saddam not involved with the 9/11 attacks

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Thanks, Dick, for clearing that up, almost seven years after the fact.  Even though the allegation that Saddam was involved with 9/11 was never used by the previous Administration, per se, it was certainly not something that they disabused the American public, many, if not most of whom, thought Saddam ...

EIT or Not

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

Mychael Massie contends that "EIT" (enhanced interrogation techniques) aren't "enhanced" at all but are normal.  Not just normal but that which SHOULD be used.  To pursue this argument he compares the interrogations severity to the beheadings conducted by terrorists.  This is a fallacious comparison in the context of civilized behavior ...

The Pirate Story, a deeper look

Friday, April 24th, 2009

This was submitted by a reader as something he received from a retired Naval Captain. ========= Your "Real" story is not exactly the way I heard it, and probably has a few political twists thrown in to stir the pot.  Rather than me trying to correct it, I'll just tell you what ...

Honor Still Lives!

Sunday, April 12th, 2009

Congratulations to President Obama, the U.S. Navy and the brave merchant sea captain on his rescue.  According to a story linked to Drudge, President Obama twice authorized the use of force.  Bravo - T.R. would be proud.

Why Not Q-Ships?

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

     Pirates would be more circumspect in  their actions if someone started using Q-hips off the Horn of Africa.  A World War One innovation to deal with U-boats, Q-ships were cargo ships fitted with fake deck houses that concealed guns (U-boats had to surface to torpedo ships then, and used ...

Piratrical Irony

Friday, April 10th, 2009

We are having our faces spat upon by a rag-tag collection of two-bit thugs who wouldn't make it out of Detroit alive.  It's ironic that the USS Bainbridge has to stand helplessly by (under orders from DC, no doubt) while the captive American captain tried unsuccessfully to escape. From the ...
