Obama to Close Gitmo…One of These Days

Jimmie | January 12, 2009 | Comments (1)

President-Elect Obama is allegedly going to issue an executive order to close the detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay as his first official act as President. But it won’t really close. In fact, it won’t close in the first hundred days of his Presidency or even in the first year. According to the report, all the [...]

When is a Cease-Fire Not A Cease-Fire

Jimmie | January 7, 2009 | Comments (0)

The important thing to remember about this story is that there each side has entirely different ideas of what a “cease-fire” is. For the Israelis, a cease-fire means that each side stops all hostilities and negotiates terms leading toward an actual peace treaty. In the worst case, they negotiate terms under which the cease-fire will [...]

Unfortunately, P-E Obama’s Latest Nomination Isn’t a Joke

Jimmie | January 5, 2009 | Comments (0)

I heard about P-E Obama’s latest nomination earlier today, but I still think that it has to be some kind of a joke. There is no way in the world that a serious-minded person could ever appoint Leon Panetta to run the CIA. Unfortunately, it’s no joke. Here’s Panetta’s Wikipedia entry. Find me something there [...]

“I Am Invincible! Invinci…”

Good call. The day before a powerful blast sent his headless body flying out of his Gaza home on Thursday, senior Hamas leader Nizar Rayan predicted that the Islamist movement would defeat Israel. In other news, Hamas’s television network broadcast a week-old speech from Nizar Rayan where he picked the Detroit Lions to win the [...]

Christmas in London, 1941.

Jimmie | December 25, 2008 | Comments (1)

It’s don’t have much to say about this movie made about a Christmas in a world that we have thrown into the garbage can of cynicism and egotism. Watching Britain celebrate Christmas during the Blitz and listening to the American narrator all but begging his countrymen to get into the fight and help them put [...]

Jimmy Carter Takes the “Useful” out of “Useful Idiot”

Jimmie | December 23, 2008 | Comments (6)

You know what really bugs me? All those terrorists out there who have no defense against the legitimate armies who are doing their best to prevent the Islamist thugs from blowing up bombs in schoolyards and roadside cafes. No, wait. That’s not what bugs me. That’s what bugs International Thug-Emabler in Chief Jimmy Carter. TEL [...]

More Would-Be Islamist Murderers Headed to Jail

Jimmie | December 23, 2008 | Comments (0)

I remember when these guys were first arrested. The going story then was that they really weren’t terribly serious about what they were doing, that they were just a bunch of guys running around in the woods playing jihadis. Most stories that I remember downplayed that they were trying very hard to score automatic weapons [...]

Are We Getting Another “Innocent Victim of Imperialist Aggressors” Line Run on Us Again?

Jimmie | December 16, 2008 | Comments (0)

I’m starting to smell a nasty little propaganda story building up around Muntadar al-Zaidi, the anti-Bush journalist for an Egyptian-based television station who chunked a couple shoes at the President. Al-Zaidi also had a curious run-in with “insurgents” a couple of years ago where he was kidnapped and released without ransom or incident. He’s not [...]
