Obama Can Drive One to Drink

By: scipio62 (Diary)  |  February 2nd at 06:00 AM  | 

You know, I get more woozy listening to Barack Obama than I do drinking several boilermakers, each consisting of a shot of my favorite tequila (Sauza Conmemorativo) with a beer chaser (I also like 1800 Reposado). I’m listening to Barack Obama speak on Mark Levin’s show and it makes my head spin (full video here). All of a sudden we have a replay of history | Read More »

What Are We Screening, Anyway?

By: scipio62 (Diary)  |  November 18th at 05:39 PM  | 

The great Mark Steyn filled in for Rush Limbaugh today and he made a great point about TSA screening past and present. Steyn said U.S. airport security measures are geared to profiling, but profiling objects, not people. Ever since 9/11, we’ve been forced to remove our shoes, belts, other metal objects, coats, lighters (on my last trip, both my wife and I got our lighters | Read More »

Cause and Effect in Greenwald’s Hatred of America

By: scipio62 (Diary)  |  July 20th at 04:17 PM  | 

Glenn Greenwald has an interesting post on how the War on Terror caused the British domestic intelligence agency MI-5 to almost become “swamped” with the rise of radicalized Muslims in Britain, especially after the invasion of Iraq, and keeping track of the increase in plots. The reason the post is interesting, and not in a good way, is because it veers off into the mystical | Read More »

Yes, The Dangerous Left Wants The U.S. To Fight Wars In The Courts

By: scipio62 (Diary)  |  March 18th at 11:47 AM  | 

Ever since 9/11, but especially since the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, American leftists have been filing lawsuit after lawsuit challenging the war against terrorists, the war against Saddam Hussein, you name it. From the terrorist surveillance program, to extraordinary rendition, to the holding of terrorists in Gitmo, to trying terrorists in military tribunals, to suing the CIA on behalf of terrorists who claimed | Read More »

BREAKING: 9/11 Terrorists To Gitmo For Trials In Military Commissions: UPDATE

By: scipio62 (Diary)  |  March 5th at 07:32 AM  | 

Allahpundit Ed Morrissey: As Andy Levy said on Twitter a little while ago, the most surprising part of the Washington Post scoop isn’t the decision to put Khalid Sheikh Mohammed into the military commission system. It’s that the White House didn’t wait until Friday night to leak it to the press… The opening of the WaPo piece Allah links to contains the heart the story | Read More »

It Begins: Congressional Dems Trying To Criminalize Enhanced Interrogations – UPDATE

By: scipio62 (Diary)  |  February 26th at 08:40 AM  | 

UPDATE: It was Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA) who introduced the bill, not Rep. Sylvester Reyes (D-TX) as mentioned in the post. Read the rest of Ed Lasky’s piece to see how despicable the “Honorable” Mr. McDermott truly is. We’ll see how far this goes. Per Byron York, Congressional Democrats tried to slip in a manager’s amendment called the “Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Interrogations Prohibition Act | Read More »

But, But, But…Obama Said They Would Love Us

By: scipio62 (Diary)  |  February 23rd at 06:39 PM  | 

We’ve been hearing for awhile from the statists (Obama, Holder, Brennan, and the other miserable cretins in the administration) about how eeeevil and rotten those nasty ol’ military tribunals were. We were told that we needed to show the world how wonderful our criminal justice system was when dealing with terrorists. It was how we could close Gitmo because, as we’ve been told, holding terrorists | Read More »

The Fight In Iraq: Yes, It Was Worth It To Fight Terrorists

By: scipio62 (Diary)  |  February 16th at 10:29 AM  | 

Our “illustrious” Vice President, Joe Biden (he who is afflicted with both hoof-in-mouth disease and has no functioning brain), said that America’s fight in Iraq wasn’t worth the “horrible price” while attempting to have the Obama administration take full credit for its success. I’m assuming Winston Smith, from within the Ministry of Truth, was feeding Biden these lines. There is no sense rebutting Smith Biden’s | Read More »

The Administration Still Pushing Back

By: scipio62 (Diary)  |  February 8th at 08:43 AM  | 

First it was Attorney General Eric Holder. Now it’s White House Counterterrorism Chief and Homeland Security Adviser John Brennan on NBC’s “Meet the Press”. Brennan said he briefed four Congressional Republicans: “None of those individuals raised any concerns with me, at that point,” Brennan said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “They didn’t say, ‘Is he going into military custody? Is he going to be Mirandized?’ | Read More »

Conservative Derangement Syndrome Undermines The Rule Of Law

By: scipio62 (Diary)  |  February 6th at 03:31 PM  | 

Matt Yglesias screeches about the conservative uproar over the Undiebomber unconstitutionally given rights by Attorney General Eric Holder, trying to say that the terrorist is the same type of criminal as any other that goes through the civilian criminal justice system. The problem is that he utterly refuses, like so many leftists, to consider that he is absolutely wrong. Yglesias falls into the pattern leftists | Read More »

Holder’s Pushback Doesn’t Pass The Smell Test

By: scipio62 (Diary)  |  February 5th at 11:39 AM  | 

The other day, Attorney General Eric Holder put out an angry letter to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) in defense of the indefensible, charging the Undiebomber as a civilian. He finally admitted that it was his decision to do so, which included Mirandizing the terrorist, allowing the Undiebomber to keep his mouth shut. Which he did until recently. After reading this letter, there are | Read More »

Maybe Some Good Came Out Of The Undiebomber’s Interrogation

By: scipio62 (Diary)  |  January 24th at 10:10 AM  | 

Y’all are going to have to work with me on this. I hate the law enforcement approach in battling terrorists, especially Al Qaeda terrorists. I think the idea of Mirandizing terrorists prior to a full interrogation is a huge detriment to the national security of this nation while it’s at war. The fact that some new group that is supposed to interrogate terrorists isn’t yet | Read More »

More From Holder’s (In)Justice Dept.

By: scipio62 (Diary)  |  January 22nd at 07:49 AM  | 

Following on yesterday’s post where I lay much of the blame for the Undiebomber being prosecuted in civilian court on Attorney General Eric Holder, the DoJ issued a statement justifying the action. Holder’s spokesmouth: U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s spokesman Matthew Miller said FBI agents obtained useful intelligence from Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab after he was arrested but before he was charged for allegedly trying to | Read More »

Does Anyone In The Obamaland White House Know There’s A War On?

By: scipio62 (Diary)  |  January 21st at 12:20 PM  | 

Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair and FBI Director Robert Mueller were on Capitol Hill yesterday before the Senate Homeland Security (Blair) and Judiciary (Mueller) Committees yesterday. What they admitted was absolutely stunning. But that isn’t all. We have the Hasan report from the DoD which has been trashed by everyone who understands we’re in a war. Then, there is another related travesty from our | Read More »

Happy Anniversary, President Hope N. Change

By: scipio62 (Diary)  |  January 20th at 08:48 AM  | 

Well, here we are at the one year anniversary of Barack Obama, “The One We were Supposed To Be Waiting For” (The One), Mr. Hope N. Change (that’s mine), being sworn in as President of the United States. He had a huge majority of his fellow Democrats in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. He had an agenda. Eventually, he got a super-majority | Read More »

Diversity Is Perversity*…And National Security Insanity

By: scipio62 (Diary)  |  January 8th at 09:53 AM  | 

Via Allahpundit, here’s Michelle Malkin on Sean Hannity’s show last night: The point Malkin makes that I want to highlight is something that Allah links to, the diversity visa program run by the State Department. Two things: UndieBomber Abdulmutallab tried to enter this country on a tourist visa, not a diversity visa; and, this is truly a program inherited by The One from the Bush | Read More »

It’s Dump On Yglesias Day

By: scipio62 (Diary)  |  January 7th at 03:53 PM  | 

I started earlier. I would have ignored Matt Yglesias the rest of the day until I saw this. Like a typical leftist who frequently engages in racism, he equates Muslims with Al Qaeda (something Greenwald does all the time): Al-Qaeda is not an organization primarily focused on Israel issues, and obviously is not an organization that would go out of business even if a Palestinian | Read More »

On The Twelfth Day Of Christmas…

By: scipio62 (Diary)  |  January 6th at 11:40 AM  | 

…terrorist Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab had his visa revoked (via Hot Air). Morrissey notes further: Of course, let’s not forget that this is actually an improvement for State. They didn’t get around to revoking Mohammed Atta’s visa until six months after 9/11. It should be mentioned that Atta was already dead, so it wasn’t as if he could use it again. President Bush was far more | Read More »

First We Bomb Yemen, Then Send Gitmo Terrorists There

By: scipio62 (Diary)  |  December 21st at 09:56 AM  | 

This past Thursday, the Obama administration did this: On orders from President Barack Obama, the U.S. military launched cruise missiles early Thursday against two suspected al-Qaeda sites in Yemen, administration officials told ABC News in a report broadcast on ABC World News with Charles Gibson. One of the targeted sites was a suspected al Qaeda training camp north of the capitol, Sanaa, and the second | Read More »

THE Picture Describing The Holder Hypocrisy

By: scipio62 (Diary)  |  November 19th at 10:05 AM  | 

Attorney General Eric Holder testified before Congress yesterday regarding this whole trying Al Qaeda war criminals in a civilian court. There are plenty of posts blogging Holder’s tussle with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), so go to the link if you want to view them (or view them again if you’ve already seen them). Also go see Scott Johnson’s and Andy McCarthy’s smackdown of a document | Read More »
