I’ve laid low during the election, holding in the anger and warnings knowing that neither McCain nor Obama would make much of it — and worse — that the public cared little to hear it. The Mumbai Massacre, however, has awoken my need to fight back in the small way I can. So please, read the following and understand that the biggest threat comes from not Iran, but Saudi Arabia & Pakistan – key allies in the “War on Terror” – who fund, house and support the Wahhabi-inspired terrorism embodied by Al Qaeda and its sympathizers:
Owls say “who?” Hawks say “how?”
A frank discussion on Saudi Arabia
While reading the National Review Online‘s blog, The Corner, I came across this entry by Lisa Schiffren – Pak help for Afghan “militants” is old news – and I must admit that it set me off:
The CIA has known all this forever. Nonetheless, the Agency made a deal with ISI early in the 1980s, which led to funneling covert US money for the Afghan resistance through ISI. Our choices may have been limited back then, but it didn’t take long for the folly of the policy to be clear to the few who were watching.
While I replied with unwarranted self-righteousness, I couldn’t let the underlying hypocrisy go unchallenged. What follows is a very lively discussion with Lisa and Stephen Schwartz that I think you will find interesting and informative.
Right before our eyes
A reponse to Rep. Rob Bishop's diary
My reply to Rep. Rob Bishop’s diary entry We Need to Expand Our Energy Choices was just too long for a comment. In short, the following is perhaps the clearest representation of the challenges and opportunities that face commercial solar in the next four years.
Kosovo goes Wahhabi
Spreading Saudi influence is unchecked
Between Maliki’s statements and the latest deal with Iran, there is little time or attention left to cover Saudi Arabian Wahhabism. What a pity, too, because while the cat is away, the mice do play. But unlike rather recent stories concerning Sharia law in England, this bit of news comes from the other end of Europe. Serbia, Kosovo and Albania just don’t filter into our consciousness unless there are genocidal outbreaks of civil war. Meanwhile, the bad guys are growing their outposts in the War on Terror.
