According to the Wall Street Journal, President Obama is not particularly keen on the prospect of increasing Afghan security forces. While this has been an overarching goal of American policy during the last eight years, the President has taken a different tack: In the bleak war assessment that he delivered to Mr. Obama earlier this [...]

Iran Update, 30 nov 09, Part 2
I am printing in its entirety the contents of a leaflet calling for demonstrations on December Seventh. I have made some minor grammatical corrections. Let us rise and turn Iran to the field of cry for freedom. Compatriots! The risen youths of Iran! Struggling and Mojahed (fighters for liberty) students! At the wake of Dec.7, [...]
Iran Update, 30 Nov 09, Part 1
These events have been reported to world threats. Nov. 28 – Mullah Ahmad Khatami, a member of the Board of Directors of the regime’s Assembly of Experts, preaching in prayer for Aid-e-Qhorban (the ceremony for the last day of the Hajj) tried to obfuscate the mullahs distress following the latest IAEA resolution. He said, “the [...]
Democratic Senate Report: U.S. Could Have Gotten OBL at Tora Bora
Democratic staff members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee have written a report concluding that had proper U.S. force been unleashed upon Tora Bora, rather than relying upon special forces and Afghan tribal militiamen, Bin Laden would be dead or in custody. Republicans may try to describe it as a political report meant to blame [...]
Iraq Threatens to Cut Off Economic Ties with Syria
The Iraqis have added another threat to Syria, on top of trying to establish a U.N. tribunal to prosecute those in Syria facilitating the violence, and thus exposing the Assad regime’s involvement. Iraq now says that they will end their economic ties with Syria if it does not stop providing insurgents with safe passage and [...]
Holland Votes for EU To Label IRGC a “Terrorist Organization”
The Netherlands is stepping up to the plate. The Dutch parliament has voted in favor of adding the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps to the European Union’s list of terrorist organizations. If the EU makes such a move, all IRGC assets on the continent can be frozen and it will be illegal for anyone to have [...]
Yemen Changes Name of Iran Boulevard to Neda Soltan Street
Yemen has renamed Iran Boulevard, a street in its country, to Neda Soltan Street, named after the young female protestor who was shot and killed in June on videotape that quickly spread around the world. Her name has since become a rallying cry for Iranian opposition activists of all kinds and human rights advocates around [...]
Iran to Build More Uranium Plants
Yahoo! is reporting an AP story that Iran’s President., Pasdar Ahmadinejad, has ordered Iran’s nuclear agency to build ten more uranium enrichment plants the size of the Natanz plant. A Cabinet meeting headed by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ordered the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran to begin building five uranium enrichment sites that have already been [...]
Hit-and-Run Jihad Comes to America
Click here for my latest article for Pajamas Media. This one is about how there are numerous cases of Muslims, some with radical sympathies, suddenly get in their cars and start running people over. In other words, Hit-and-Run Jihad as I call it. Some probably do suffer from mental illness, but it is quite possible [...]
Update on Proxy War Between Arabs and Iran in Yemen
Richard already touched on this, but this article’s importance needs to be reemphasized: Iran is actively trying to stir up internal discontent in Saudi Arabia. This follows the dispatching of naval forces including mini-submarines in the Gulf of Aden ostensibly to fight Somali piracy. This is a MAJOR escalation and as Rich said, indicates this [...]
Signs of Dissent Showing Up in North Korea
North Korea has been considered a sort of gold standard in securing a tyranny. Kim Jong-Il’s regime has braindwashed its people, eliminated all signs of dissent, and successfully stopped any type of outside influence from reaching inside. It’s a pretty remarkable feat, as disgusting as it is. This is the first report of signs of [...]

IAEA: “Dead End” With Iran; Iran Reduces Cooperation, May Leave NNPT
Mohamed El-Baradei says that the IAEA’s dealings with Iran has reached a “dead end” due to Iran’s rejection of an international plan to ship the majority of their low-enriched uranium to other countries for enrichment to levels suitable for fuel purposes. The IAEA is also frustrated that Iran is failing to explain discrepancies in its [...]
Iran Begins Second Cultural Revolution
I wrote for Pajamas Media a few months ago that a leaked videotape of a secret high-level meeting chaired by Ahmadinejad showed that he was planning a second Cultural Revolution aimed at cleansing the universities of dissident elements. This is indeed happening. The New York Times reports on a few recent developments: It is implanting [...]
China Comes to Iran’s Rescue
If the West was hoping to use sanctions targeting Iran’s reliance upon imported petroleum products, they better move quickly. China and Iran have signed a $6.5 billion deal where Sinopec will build refineries in Iran. If the regime truly understands how such sanctions threaten their rule, I expect them to do everything they can to delay [...]
