Will Iraq Be Obama's Viet Nam?
300 SOF advisors. Refusing to take the fight to the enemy. An enemy that looks like an LIP.
The differences are negligable. The enemy in Viet Nam was communism. We were attempting to stop the spread of communism.
The differences in the enemy are stark and definable. The enemy in Iraq will murder indiscriminately without compunction or remorse and for no reason other than you have a different view of the same ridiculous belief system. Communists killed to instill fear and insure compliance. Radical islamists kill because they like it.

Is anyone in
the Obama Administration concerned about how Elibiary is giving aid and
comfort to the enemy? Or does that not matter because he is that most
sought-after of men, the “moderate Muslim” (at least ostensibly), and so
(like Major Nidal Malik Hasan (who was the even more coveted “Muslim military
man”), nothing that […]

This ISIS
video, once again slickly produced, features English-speaking jihadists
calling Muslims to wage jihad, copiously quoting Qur’an and appealing to
Islamic doctrine. It would be refreshing if Muslim spokesmen in the West who
claim to reject this understanding of Islam explained how these Muslims were
getting Islam wrong. But they won’t. Note that the […]

Yesterday I was
once again on the Peter Boyles Show on KNUS Denver for a full hour,
discussing various aspects of the situation in Iraq. It was a wide-ranging
and engrossing discussion.

The murder of
Nahid Almanea was heinous enough, and now Abu Rashash Britani is trying to
compound its evil by calling for more attacks on innocent civilians. Has
anyone inquired into who this person Abu Rashash Britani is, and where he
learned his understanding of Islam? Or would such an inquiry in today’s
Britain be […]

This is “one of
the bloodiest clashes in the southern Philippines in recent months” — Islamic
jihadists worldwide are emboldened by the success of the Islamic State of
Iraq and Syria and by the weakness (and often outright support) that Barack
Obama has given to Islamic supremacists and jihadists worldwide. They know
that if they […]

This story from
the hopeless and ridiculous Daily Mail highlights the rap videos and the
“‘fun’ of guerrilla war,” while making it obvious that the main thing that
motivated these Muslims from the U.S. to join ISIS was the one thing the
story discounts: their commitment to Islam. This piece, meanwhile, is easily
the most […]

The video above
is in support of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, with fans holding up
messages of support from around the world — including, apparently, North
Carolina. We are constantly told that all the Muslims in the U.S. are
supporters of pluralism and democracy, and eschew violent jihad and Sharia —
and […]

Misbahuddin
Ahmed’s statements are yet another indication of the practical consequences
of Islam’s claims to constitute a global community (umma), the loyalty to
which transcends all other loyalties. Imagine saying “You’ve got to look at
it from their perspective.” about the Nazis as the Allied armies entered
German territory in 1945. “Taliban had right to […]

Nowadays if you
parrot the accepted establishment opinions, you can rise far and fast, and be
hailed as a “respected scholar” even if you’re, well, dimwitted and arrogant.
In particular, if you oppose America’s defense against the global jihad, hate
Israel, love those who wish to destroy both the U.S. and Israel, and profess
to […]

It’s a
time-honored principle: when in Muslim countries, you must conform your
behavior to Muslim sensibilities. And when in non-Muslim countries, you must
conform your behavior to Muslim sensibilities. This is the kind of thing that
only happens in nations that have lost their confidence and their way, are
vulnerable to any action of their […]

This week’s
episode of the world’s challenging counter-jihad chatfest features, first of
all, the show’s elusive eponymous host, back in the saddle again and looking
tanned, rested and ready after another in a seemingly endless series of odd
and willful disappearances. As always, he features some of the world’s
premier counter-jihadists: this week, Daniel Greenfield […]

Muslim
Brotherhood sympathizers recently went on a sexual assault and rape spree in
Egypt as a way of “getting even” with those women who dared to celebrate the
presidential victory of Abdel Fatteh al-Sisi—the former army chief who
overthrew Muslim Brotherhood rule in Egypt. On June 8, when tens of thousands
of Egyptians congregated in […]
