General Petraeus: Iran ‘helping Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan’
By: Jeff Emanuel (Diary) | February 16th at 03:35 PM |
For years now, Iran has been training and equipping militants and terrorists in Iraq, despite the abject refusal of Western press to report on it and the U.S. and other governments to do anything about it. Now, Iran is providing “small-level” assistance to Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan, as well, according to General David Petraeus, commanding general of United States Central Command (CentCom).

Obama’s policy on terrorism will be “to uphold high ideals”
By: Jeff Emanuel (Diary) | January 11th at 12:47 AM |
That’s the entire AP story: “President-elect Obama says his policy on terrorism strategy will be to uphold high ideals.” I guess that’s all we need to know in this new hopey-changey world where nothing concrete is said or done, and ideas with less form than a morning fog are given the weight of actions themselves. I’m sure al Qaeda, Jaish al Islam, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran’s | Read More »

“I don’t regret setting bombs,” Bill Ayers said. “I feel we didn’t do enough.” Thus begins an article that today shares its seventh anniversary with another attack on the Pentagon — and, of course, on the World Trade Center. On September 11, 2001, the New York Times ran a fawning 2,000 word profile of Ayers, whose glamorous, high-profile history as a domestic terrorist during the | Read More »
