Is the President Committing Political Suicide with KSM?

Jimmie | November 13, 2009 | Comments (6)

This is such a staggeringly bad idea that it makes Icarus’ decision to head sunward look like a stroke of purest genius. WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The accused mastermind of the September 11 attacks and four co-conspirators will be sent to New York for trial in a court near the site of the World Trade Center, [...]

Funny How Those Medieval Notions Complement Each Other

Jimmie | November 11, 2009 | Comments (0)

Quote of the day, from Smitty. Human diversity cannot exceed 23 chromosomes. Anyone continuing to perpetuate the myth that the thin veneer of genetic variation that makes people physically distinguishable Means Anything needs to go take a biochemistry course and disabuse themselves of their medieval notions. When modern people adopt medieval notions based on political [...]

Our Foreign Policy Seems to Consist Solely of Figuring Out Ways to Hand People Over to Tyrants

When this man is executed, it will be, in part, our fault. Earlier this month, Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury, a self-described “Muslim Zionist,” traveled to the U.S. to address audiences in New York City and at Yale University. Publisher of the largest English-language daily newspaper in Bangladesh, Choudhury has been jailed, beaten, nearly blinded, and [...]

Jimmie | November 10, 2009 | Comments (1)

I really don’t care why Major Nidal Malik Hasan tried to kill upwards of 50 soldiers at Fort Hood last week. Look, I understand he had grievances. Some of the other boys in school other soldiers with whom he worked in the past gave him static for being a Muslim (and, hey, Nidal, way to prove [...]

At least “don’t ask; don’t tell” opponents can take solace that they’re not last on the Presidential priority list. That position is reserved for General Stanley McChrystal. Last weekend, McCrystal informed America that his Commander in Chief, who set him in charge of all the forces in that the President called the “central front” in [...]

Jimmie | September 28, 2009 | Comments (3)

Another urgent threat to global security is the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan. This is the central front in our enduring struggle against terrorism and extremism. There, as in the Middle East, we must understand that we cannot deal with our problems in isolation. … Going forward, we must set clear priorities in pursuit [...]

Remembering 9/11: A Tale of Two Government Agencies

Jimmie | September 11, 2009 | Comments (2)

The President has issued his 9/11 proclamation and, as you might expect, it’s not very much. We should remember that something happened today, something the President couldn’t quite describe but that was really sad, then we should do out and do community service. As we pay tribute to loved ones, friends, fellow citizens, and all [...]

“He only wished to have a few more children…”

Project 2996 came to my attention almost a month ago, thanks to a timely e-mail from my friend Katie Favazza. Everyone who signed up was assigned a name — one of the people murdered by Islamic butchers on September 11, 2001 — and asked to write a tribute about that person. I joined and was [...]
