Israel releases map showing 1000 underground Hezbollah military sites

Posted 31 Mar 2011 in Islam, Israel, jihadists, terrorism

For a long time, we’ve seen that mujahadeen (Islamic “holy warriors”) hide behind women and children. But a recent article in The Washington Post details their cowardice may be more extensive than we previously understood. The Israeli military on Thursday released a map detailing what it says are nearly 1,000 underground bunkers, weapons storage facilities and monitoring sites built by the militant Hezbollah guerrillas in southern Lebanon. Many of the sites on the map are located south of the Litani River in Lebanon, the zone where Hezbollah is banned from keeping weapons under the U.N.-sponsored truce that ended Israel’s summer 2006 war with the guerrilla group. An article on the military spokesman’s website says Hezbollah has set up some...

Posted 31 Mar 2011 in jihadists, terrorism

Three “wrong turns” by three Middle Eastern immigrants (an Afghani and two Iranians), or a dry run for a terrorist attack? (h/t: The Blaze) SAN DIEGO, CA — According to a Be On the Lookout (BOLO) alert issued to high-ranking Camp Pendleton officials, someone reported hearing hateful comments and terrorist threats from three men at a gas station in Oceanside Saturday. Investigators at Camp Pendleton said the men asked the attendant for directions on how to get to Camp Pendleton before they left the gas station. According to the alert, shortly after midnight Sunday, a rented silver Toyota Corolla driven by Naeem attempted to enter Camp Pendleton through the main gate. As it was being searched, Petrossian and Avanosian...

Obama receives transparency award at secret meeting

Posted 30 Mar 2011 in Barack Obama, hypocrisy, liberals

In George Orwell’s 1984, the newspeak propaganda of the INGSOC government brainwashes the people of Oceana with three mottos: War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. In the Obama regime, they’ve added a fourth: “Secrecy is transparency.” President Obama Receives Transparency Award But No Press is There to See It President Obama received an award for his transparency in government on Monday, but you’d never know it because the press wasn’t there to witness the meeting. The award was originally supposed to be given to the president two weeks ago, but the White House cancelled the event that day. Not that there was going to be extensive coverage of that meeting either. The small number of reporters...

Veena Malik: Midweek Peek

Posted 30 Mar 2011 in Midweek Peek

Not only is she hot, she’s standing up to the Mullah who accused her of immorality. There are three types of prominent people in her country today, it seems: Taliban, those recently killed by the Taliban, and those being threatened with death by the Taliban. She’s in neither the first nor second category, so she must be in the third. And so she is. But not because of her defiance here; no, apparently, her “crime” was … appearing on the Indian version of “Big Brother,” which she agreed to do to prove to the folks across the border that not everyone from Pakistan is a medieval savage. Two words for the State Department in case anyone there is reading:...

VIDEO: Libya vs Iraq

Posted 25 Mar 2011 in Barack Obama, George W. Bush, humor, hypocrisy, liberals, war

Via Jonah Goldberg, a mind-numbed Liberal argues that Obama is awesome, even when he rushes into a war for oil. It’s funny when the shoe is so obviously on the other foot. (h/t: Allahpundit) Although this is a cartoon, I know many so-called “Progressives” that are just as irretrievably stupid as the O-bot depicted above. And just as willing to abandon their principles when their messiah behaves like President George W. Bush. Well, like Bush except for the inconvenient fact that Bush spent 90 days obtaining Congressional approval for military action in both Iraq and Afghanistan and briefed the American public on why we were committing our troops to combat, while Obama rushed to war within 48 hours of...

"Boots on the ground" in Libya?

Posted 24 Mar 2011 in Barack Obama, lies, war

Just another reminder that all Barack Obama statements come with an expiration date. (h/t: Jim Geraghty) Obama rules out ‘land invasion’ in Libya President Barack Obama Wednesday categorically ruled out a land invasion to oust Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi as coalition forces launched a fifth day of air strikes against government military targets in the North African nation. Obama was asked in an interview with the Spanish-language network Univision if a land invasion would be out of the question in the event air strikes fail to dislodge Gadhafi from power. Obama replied that it was “absolutely” out of the question. No U.S. boots on the ground? Oh, these Marines must be barefooted. Camp Lejeune Marines To Libya To Strike...

“Captain America” trailer

Posted 24 Mar 2011 in movies, pop culture

Except for the fact that the director doesn’t want the titular hero to be a “jingoistic American flag-waver” (which is an exact definition of the superhero called Captain America), I’m cautiously optimistic about this movie. It just makes me sad that Hollywood is so afraid of patriotism.

Obama locked out of White House

Posted 24 Mar 2011 in Barack Obama, humor, schadenfreude

Schadenfreude alert: when Obama came back from his vacation in Rio, someone at the White House had locked the doors. (h/t: Gateway Pundit) President Barack Obama had to try a couple of doors at the White House before finally gaining access to the Oval Office on Wednesday. Returning from a five-day trip to Latin America, video shows the president strolling up to french doors at the White House and trying the handle on a locked door. He appeared to be whistling as he made his way down to another set of doors that were open. White House staff was apparently not informed that the President was coming back to work before his arrival. Alright, which bonehead let him back...

Former SEIU official reveals plot to collapse U.S. economy and impose a socialist government

Posted 23 Mar 2011 in communism, socialism, treason, unions

Economic terrorism from the Left, exposed! A former official of one of the country’s most-powerful unions, SEIU, has a secret plan to “destabilize” the country. The plan is designed to destroy JP Morgan, nuke the stock market, and weaken Wall Street’s grip on power, thus creating the conditions necessary for a redistribution of wealth and a change in government. The former SEIU official, Stephen Lerner, spoke in a closed session at a Pace University forum last weekend. The Blaze procured what appears to be a tape of Lerner’s remarks. Many Americans will undoubtely sympathize with and support them. Still, the “destabilization” plan is startling in its specificity, especially coming so close on the heels of the financial crisis. Lerner...
