Tolerance

As parents, we try our best to raise our children to have great values and honor other people's cultures,  teach them about peace, teach them about respect and manners. Every day its a struggle but we do it because we are advanced, enlightened people.

The problem starts when we think everyone else in the world is like us at least when it comes to parenting.

They are not!!! Some twisted people are so backwards that they teach their children to hate and to despise others. We ask ourselves, who will do it?  But below you can see an example of a camp exercise in a children's camp in Pakistan. Yes, this is not in Afghanistan or in Dagastan or even Iran. This is freely practiced in a country that the US gives close to $4 Billion per year in aid too.


It all starts at home! How can we expect to have peace when parent teach their children to hate?

State Sponsored Attacks?

I am trying to connect the dots for my readers. Yesterday's Toronto train attacks originated in Iran. Although the Iranian regime is fundamentally against the Al Qaeda elements in its country, they are not necessarily rooting out the extreme elements of this group within their midst  It funny that I say that, given the Iranian regime is extreme to its bone. However, its a great way for the regimes like Iran, Syria an now even Chechnya to produce state sponsored attacks with full plausible deniability of their intent. So, even if it looks like the guys from Boston where acting on their own (Which my sources say they did not) or "elements" from places like Iran or even Iraq now will feel empowered to attack soft targets in the West, don't believe the lone wolf type of explanations from any of the media or government sources. These type of sophisticated attacks always have the stench of state sponsored terrorism.

Given that Iran will have enough enriched Uranium in a few months to create a bomb and given that we have seen an increase of attacks in the past few weeks, I expect these to escalate even further as the summer months come about.

Stay Tuned and Vigilant...

And Remember, no more Political Correctness, we pay for it with the lives of our children..

Motive

Everyone in the US media is talking about the motive. What was the motive of these two good guys to blow up innocent people?

Are you kidding me? Are you all blind? The motive is the hatred of anything not Muslim and anything Western and enlightened such as women rights, or gay rights.

These people are running a holy religious war against Christians and Jews and if one does not get it, one is blind or ignorant.

They will continue hitting soft targets in the US as long as they can so that they can impose their religious kingdom on earth.

Stop being politically correct. The Muslim moderate guy sitting next to you at work or in school is not moderate, he has been indoctrinated to hate you and kill you one day.

If we do not identify and root out this cancer now, it will be too late. They will win because they are strong in their beliefs and we will lose because we are weak and polite.

65 Years of Enlightenment

Many events are celebrated today and many threats still stand in our way.

Here are the list of events. I hope you can all come to a smart conclusion yourselves

1. Secretary of State Kerry today announced that he will agree to direct talks with the North Koreans which threaten to launch missiles at the USA. Way to go to reward the bully sir.

2. Iran's leader says that they don't need a nuclear weapon, Yeah right, lets reward them with direct talks sir.

3. UNESCO world heritage site destroyed today in Gaza to make way to a terrorist training camp. Remember the Buddhas in Afghanistan? Here we go again, only respect Allah not our history, art or feelings.

4. Two bombs explode in Boston today killing at least 2 and wounding 127. Anyone with short memory here? It was Patriots day in Boston today but the president and other administration representatives called it an "Incident". Let see how long it will take them to find the responsible entity. Yes, it will be the crazy loner not an organization or a religion in war with us.

5. Christian churches and people are burned and persecuted every day in Muslim countries


On the other hand....

Today is the 65th independence day of Israel and this country is being villainized in the US schools and media.

1. Israel allows Arabs to participate in its parliament

2. Israel had a woman as its prime minister ages ago

3. Israeli medical inventions in the field of cancer and other medicine is leading in the world. MRI anyone?

4. Children in Israel are thought to strive to peace and love while children in the Arab countries are thought to hate and think of Jews as descendants of pigs and monkeys.

5. ALL religions are welcomed in Israel and the United Jerusalem is a sign of tolerance and religious freedom.

6. Some of the most advanced technology and inventions in the world are invented in Israel.

So, what do you think?

Enlightened, right?

Get them where it hurts the most

In the same manner that Al Capone was arrested through his tax evasion scheme, the US and international intelligence agencies are trying to get the Iranian regime through the restriction of their oil revenue flow. In the past few days both the bank that was used to circumvent the current sanctions and send billions back to Iran (First Islamic Bank of Malaysia) from the US and the middle man that built all the ghost companies to make these transfers legal (Barak Sanjani) were put on the Internationale black list. This will be a nice blow to the oil revenue operation that funds the terrorist acts of this regime as well as the machine that pushes the building of the nuclear weapons program.

A Hypothetical Proposition

An earthquake just happened in Firuzabad next to the Bushier reactor in Iran. two hypothetical questions have to be asked;

1. Is it safe to build more nuclear reactors next to an earthquake prone country. what will the future repercussions of this effort be? Does the Iranian government even care. I don't think so. i think they are so motivated t build nuclear weapons as a national pride that they don't really think about earthquakes.

2. Given what the US Navy has just demonstrated with the new laser cannon, do you think they also came up with a possible seismic weapon to disrupt the Iranian nuclear weapons program? I think that this notion is definitely plausible..:-)

Professors in our Schools

Muhammad Sahimi is Professor of Chemical Engineering & Materials Science and the NIOC Chair in Petroleum Engineering at the University of Southern California and an Iranian pawn.

He just published an article about supposed lies from the west about Iran. this is while Mr. Sahimi lives in luxury in the sunny side of California and not in Tehran where any of his opinions would have been crushed by his regime and his daughters would have been beaten for the way they dress every day to school.

I will not repeat his article but only say this; Does anyone really believe that Iran is not working towards a nuclear weapon? does anyone believe that women, gays and other ordinary people have real freedoms in Iran?

if you believe these simple facts then you should believe Prof. Sahimi, if not, you should accept that Iran is a dark place, with a dark regime with generally smart people that long for freedom but are ruled harshly by ignorant mullahs. Its a state that sponsors terror attacks outside its borders and where the blind and wrong interpretation of religion prevails. The dark ages are upon this area of the world and its only growing in influence.

Swarms of Spies

Today in Gaza, the Hamas regime has arrested several foreign nationals (these are usually Arab decent individuals with foreign passports) as spies working for the Israeli, French , UK and US intelligence organizations. As we all know, these people are not going to get any fair trials if they will get trials at all. Usually they are just dragged through the streets and killed in front of everyone including watching children.

The problem that the Hamas faces is that they are right. There are swarms of spies in the Gaza strip but these spies are not the ones that get caught. Some of them are at the highest level of the Hamas ranks. The secret to success is to have thousands of spies and not tell any spy about another; that way if one or even 10 get caught there are plenty of replacements.

Train Carrying Missles

My sources tell me that yesterday a seamlessly harmless train derailment near the city of Shahr e Qods in Iran was not that harmless. Forces working against the Iranian regime have caused that derailment because of sensitive cargo the train was carrying in a few of its cart. My sources also said that the train was carrying a missile load headed for one of the ports to be shipped to Syria.

Distrupting the Flow of Weapons to Assad

One of the big failures of the US policy in the Middle East is the lack of remaining influence the US has over the new Iraqi government. The winner here is purely Iran. The flow of weapons from Iran to the Assad regime usually passes directly through the airspace of Iraq. Sometimes through Turkey as well but since that country has stopped a few airplanes carrying weapons, the flight route is over the Iraqi capital and through the Iraqi desert over the border town of Al Qai'm and landing in the Damascus international airport or to the north to Aleppo.

Today, my sources tell me that as one of these airplanes was landing, foreign special forces elements took down one of these airplanes and destroyed it in the air. The rebel forces were quick to claim this event as their own doing but the truth is the above. Now what? well, not every plane can be taken down but if the rebel forces can take over these major airfields, that will strangle the lifeline that Iran is providing to the Assad regime.

Tamuz just before Pessac

Today, the Syrian situation has escalated.

When two Al Qaeda affiliated terrorists fire on an Israeli  jeep on the Golan heights border with Israel. the commander decides to destroy the sources of fire with a Tamuz Missile.

This represents a very serious escalation in the situation in Syria and a precursor to what's to come in the next few months as the Assad regime get even weaker and loses control over the Golan heights.

Here is the footage....

The Triangle

Next week I will be flying to Argentina on my way to the Triangle.

The triangle or also knows as Ciudad Del Este is a very dangerous place between Paraguay and Argentina. Most of the terrorist presence in South America some how passes through this area. We are trying to follow the increases and accelerated developments of activities by the Iranian regime and Hezbollah elements in this area. Ever since the death of tyrant Hugo Chavez and the last visit of the Iranian Prime Minister to this area, chatter has been up. I am going to check that out and possible see if i can hear anything about the activities of this man below

Moshen Rabbanni is responsible for the 1992 attacks on the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires and now walks around freely in South America trying to recruit locals as agents of evil.

Stopped in the nick of time

I am glad to announce that over the past week, western intelligence agencies have managed to sabotage a large shipment of nuclear components from two main Iranian agents based in Germany and Turkey. One Iranian operative was captured and two escaped. The information captured from one of the agents was used to blow up the shipment in the port in Iran it arrived too by our operatives. If you search this info, you will see it in two separate incidents, I am just connecting the dots for you.

Analyzing the visit

I was asked by my service buddies to analyze the Obama visit to the Middle East this coming week. I am in Jerusalem now reviewing my analysis so I thought I would share it with you all.

What are the two leaders Obama and Netanyahu going to talk about? We all know they don't like each other. That said, the US knows very well that Israel is the last stable and real friend the US has in the Middle East. Is the $250M the US gave Egypt and fighter airplanes going to bare any fruits? Are the Egyptians going to like the US more because of that? I don't think so. That's is why Obama, whether he likes Bibi or not should talk to him with an open mind. Israel is going to ask Obama a simple question; what is the US doing to promise the future existence of Israel? When the US is trying to "Negotiate" a deal with Iran and that country has only used these negotiations to reach a more advanced position in its military nuclear program ( Iran already has 8 tons of enriched Uranium and since the negotiations started they increased their amount of centrifuges to 12,0000), what can the US say to Israel to clam them down and promise them future security? Nothing at all. Israelis are under more danger than they've ever been and this visit is not going to make that better, it's just another part of the Obama campaign. Wake up Obama, you were elected already. Make a difference in your country and in the world. Negotiating with the devil is the wrong thing to do!!!

Resisting the Resistance

This next post might seem confusing to you but I promise will be revealing as well.

I am traveling on a long trip to the Middle East and Europe in the next month and trying to explore the complicated game of resistance movements. What are they? Are they real resistance fighters or are they actual plants by the regime being resisted? Sounds confusing? It is.

So, many intelligence organizations use the resistance movements against regimes they fight to infiltrate the regimes secret operations or execute complex operations behind enemy lines. Take Iran for example, there are several resistance movements within Iran and outside of it. Connecting to those resistance fighter will allow one to collect intelligence and execute operations inside Iran. However, that is a dangerous game. The reason is that Iran it self is planting its spies inside these organizations to spy on their activities or weed out foreign intelligence connections. So, next time my friends at a certain resistance group meet, how can I know if they are real resistance people or plants? I cant and that's why my job is so risky.

Take another related situation. If Israel want to know where all the long range missiles are hidden in South Lebanon or the Gaza strip, why couldn't it start a resistance organization in Egypt for example and then send weapons to these terrorists with embedded beacons so that in the next war it would be as easy as using a GPS map to identify where all these weapons are hidden?  Sounds smart, right? Well, its not that easy, creating such a group on the ground, establishing the funding connections in Europe and Dubai and then sending the shipments, it's a dangerous game. What if you are found to be a spy? What if the other Western intelligence operator mistake you to being a terrorist?

Oh what a complicated life we live....

Weapons Seizure

My source in Cairo is telling me that about 430 Kilometers North of Cairo two trucks full on Cornet Anti Tank missiles were seized by Egyptian authorities. These missiles were intended to reach Gaza tomorrow.

This is another example of what is happening with the weapons that used to belong the Qaddafi regime. This problem will increase exponentially if the Assad regime would topple. There is no country like Egypt in between Syria and Lebanon and therefore we should assume that what ever is currently stocked at the weapon stockpiles of the Syrian regime, will end up in southern Lebanon.

  

Natural Progression

Ever since the invention of the first weapon, humans on the receiving side of the weapon have created defenses to protect them selves. When the discovery of gunpowder in China In 1040 A.D lead to the creation of the first gun, humans built armor to defend themselves again; machine guns and then tanks and so on.

Today we have seen another example of this constant progression in the launch of the Arrow 3 missiles system out of one of the airbases in Israel. This system is designed to intercept ballistic missiles from Iran while they are still in space to allow other missile defense sytems enough time to catch other missiles that have penetrated that shield. Iran creates the missiles and Israel creates missile defense shields . What else have you got up your sleeve Iran? Israel is becoming the world leader in missile defense shields. The superior mind will find solutions in the way of adversity!

Arrow 3 System

Silence

On Wednesday the 20th, Syrian Anti Aircraft missiles downed and Israeli Heron UAV.

Both countries are denying that indecent really happened. Why?

It does not fit any agenda to admit this event ever happened.  Israel would not admit it had a drone over the Southern Syrian air space while Syria does not want to draw a retaliation from Israel. In  between this event is another unknown fact; The Syrian rebels want to revenge the Hezbollah's involvement in the Syrian conflict and have been attacking Hezbollah's outposts in the South of Lebanon. These posts have been abandoned by the Syrian army soldiers in order for them to fortify the troops fighting all over the country  leaving the posts vulnerable to attacks fro the rebels.

This conflict in Syria is not close to b over as some media reports are saying. it will continue to be bloody and Assad will fight to the end which in my opinion is not soon at all

Heron UAV

A ridiculous negotiation tactic

Always negotiate from a position if strength my father told me. However, it does not seem that the Obama Administration ever heard that advice. In the days that the North Koreans exploded a nuclear bomb underground in defiance of the US, in the days that the Iranians increase their production of high grade Uranium, the Obama Administration has decided to take the "word" of the supreme leader Kumainie and try to make him keep his "promise" not to develop nuclear weapons. How stupid and irresponsible can they be? The world is exploding around us and we are trying to keep the Iranians to follow an empty fatwa that their murderous made almost 10 years ago. US administrator Peckering said on the 12th: "we will hold the Iranians to their fatwa as a first step toward direct negotiations".

Would you negotiate with the devil?

Didn't miss the opportunity

For those of you who don't know him, General Hasan Shatri was the head of the Iranian revolutionary guard in Lebanon. Why does the Iranian revolutionary guard even need a representative in Lebanon you ask? Good question. The answer you will get from the Iranians is that he is there for "humanitarian" purposes, to help the poor south Lebanese people who have suffered in the 2006 war with Israel. The real reason is not that at all. He is there to coordinate the transfer of weapons from Iran, through Syria to the Hezbollah. The second reason is to help the Syrian regime butcher it's citizens in the civil war that has been going on in the past year.

So, when the Israeli Mossad found out that the Syrian regime is about to transfer SA 17 Anti Aircraft weapons to the Hezbollah terrorist in south Lebanon and that more importantly, the general himself is going to monitor the transfer, it was an opportunity not to be missed. The attack on the convoy carrying the missiles not only stopped the weapons from getting to the terrorists but also killed the general him self and a few senior advisors. No wonder the Iranians got so pissed off. News about his death was only admitted to a few days ago because the Iranians did not want to even admit his presence in the area attacked. What is also interesting is how the Turkish prime minister reacted to the alleged attack by suggesting that Syria should not stay idle in the face of Israeli aggression. This is because the Turkish Islamist prime minister is trying to pander to his Iranian allies and not because he really cares about the Syrian government. What Hippocrates

Immanent Threath

Today is the anniversary of the assassination of the master terrorist Imad Mughniyah. This elusive terrorist who has the blood of many innocent people on his hands from many different countries including the US, UK and Israel did not mange to be so elusive after all. Our intelligence services are on high alert in the next few days for the possibility of the retaliation for his killing combined with the Syrian retaliation for the Israeli attack on their land.

Our Eyes are wide open an are ears are listening....


Not an inspiration after all

Preparing for the worst

Israel is preparing for the worst and deploying a 3rd Iron Dome battery to its northern areas.

This is an unprecedented move and means that Israel thinks there is an imminent attack either from Lebanon or from Syria it self.

I still believe that the retaliation would be dine in another more cowardly method like I mentioned in my last post

Where will the Iranians Retaliate?

If you looked at my last post, it was published just a few days before the alleged Israeli strike inside Syria.

While many news outlets speculate exactly what happened in Syria and what facility or convoy was hit, I am moving forwards to what will happen next. As I mentioned in my last comment to my post, the Iranian puppet masters of Syria will try and attack Western symbols around the world as a retaliatory action. The Syrians will not dare to react directly against Israel and hence, they sent their Hezbollah sleeper cells to attack the US embassy in Turkey. It was one Suicide bomber and killed one of the security gourds outside the secure walls of the embassy but did not penetrate the defense circle around the embassy.

Now, my sources need to speculate where the next attempt will come from the "Kuds Brigades" the terror arm of the Iranian regime. There are two soft spots around the world that are possibilities:

1. Asia - Places like Indonesia,  Malaysia,  Thailand or even India are sweet spots for an attack and our colleagues there should keep alert.

2. Eastern Europe, France or Scandinavia - Both areas have lax security measures and a high level of Muslim populations.


Lets hope my colleagues are working night and day to prevent anything like the above from destroying lives in these beautiful countries.

Stay on High Alert

Moving Closer to Attack Syria

Western forces have tried as much as they can not to get involved directly in the Syrian conflict, much to the shagrin of the Syrian citizens that are butchered every day. Well, in the past few days, my sources are telling me that the day of involvement is very near.

Why, you ask? Are we finally going to help the Syrian people? No, I answer. The reason is much more sinister. My sources have observed Hezbollah forces moving into positions near the main chemical weapons facilities in Syria and have also seen Hezbollah trucks setting up camps near Syrian missile bases. Israel and the US will not allow that to happen, period!!!

Yesterday, you heard the Iranian foreign minister state that if Syria is attacked by Israel, it would be considered an act of war and an attack on Iran. First, I doubt that to be meaningful but at the same time its timely as I think the Iranians know well them selves what the Hezbollah forces are doing and are expecting a retaliation for their actions. Israel has also moved its Iron Dome batteries north yesteryday as a preparation for action I believe.

This is a very dangerous situation indeed

The Chess Game - A Macro View of the Current Events

Like in any chess game, there are pawns. Sometimes, the pawns might even not know they are pawns and think they are kings but I will try to layout the convoluted net today so it will become clearer what are the forces at play currently in the Middle East.

First, all Jihadists need to realize they are pawns! Pawns played by the Iranians, Pawns played by the Saudis  Pawns played by the West.

Some of the most powerful forces at play today in the Middle East are not the fights between Israel and its enemies, its actually the fight between sects of Islam, the Shia and the Sunnis. Iran and its struggles to control the Middle East is fighting the other sects leaders mainly the Saudis & the Emirates.

The pawns are countries like Syria, Libya and Egypt; all seemingly powerful states but being played by the two powers mentioned above easily.

So, If the Syrian regime falls, it a big blow to the Iranian control plan, right? The Jihadists in Syria are mostly funded and supplied by Saudi Arabia and Qatar and they do not want to stop at toppling Assad, they also want these Jihadist to fight the Shia minority in Syria after Assad is toppled. Also, if they succeed in doing it, the next door country, Iraq, which is mostly controlled by a Shia majority could become the next target for unrest if Saudi Arabia gets what they want.

Interesting, right? Well, it does not stop there because Egypt is now controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood which although not Shia, they do hate the Saudi regime and Iran is playing that pawn against the Emirates and the Saudi's (see my post on recent terror attempts by the Muslim Brotherhood in Dubai).

Noticed the recent unrest in Egypt and the riots around the country? Is that only Saudi stirring it up though? I don't think so, I think our friends in the CIA might have some hands in this pie as well.

Oy vey, now I have given another reason for people to think its only Israel that benefits from this unrest. its actually not true either. Israel only benefits from stability of these regimes not the chaos that they have falling into right now so stop blaming Israel for everything and start thinking outside the box a little.

I hope I managed to connect some dots for you although this area is crazy complicated as you can see.

The powers at bay...

The Flow of Weapons into the Mali Conflict

If one is to follow the events in Mali closely as I have been doing from the ground in Africa in the past few weeks, one would think that the French forces will "Finish the Job" pretty quickly and clear northern Mali from its Islamist factions very soon. The French show superior weaponry and of course air superiority. However, we are students of history and we know its not that simple. Air Superiority did not give the allies any real benefit in the fight against the Taliban. The terrain is different but in most cases, these Mali Islamists are dug into large cave complexes which will need troops on the ground to take over.

A question the allies are also asking them self, is where would the continued line of logistical support will come from? Africa is full of weapons and given the recent Arab Spring, a new plentiful supply of weapons is evident.

First, is the major arsenal taken from the bunkers of the Qaddafi regime. Although the Qaddafi loyalist are not really motivated by Islamist ideology, they are motivated by money. This is evident in the flow of anti aircraft missiles from the south of Libya to Northern Mali.

Second, is Somalia; the Al Shabab groups had to be pushed out of Mogadishu so the supply lines between the areas which they are in (Western Somalia) is flowing with light weapons and armed militants to join the fight against the French.

Third, is Northern Sudan which gets a fresh supply of weapons every day from Iran and that gets routed to the Gaza strip as well now to Northern Mali.

Lastly is Nigeria; although the Nigerian government is sending troops into Mali to help the French, the Muslim militants in Nigeria's north are sympathetic to the Mali cause and send weapons as well as people into Mali.

This means that the French are not going to easily defeat the Mali Islamist and we are starting a long and bloody confrontation only to escalate over 2013.

Hope this helps,

 French Forces in Mali

Power to the People

Usually I would not condone a lynch on anyone person. Its a terrible and horrendous act by a group of people in a craze. However, I am reporting from a call I received from my French colleague Mr. Del Marmol who just informed me that he is on the ground close the the town of Gao Mali and he just saw a lynch being preformed by the locals on the top Islamist "official" in town. As I stated in my last post, the events in Algeria gave strength to the people of Mali that they can as well stand up to the Islamo Fascists.  The power of the people whether they have weapons or not is evident.

Of course with a little help from the western spy agencies, they will have even more power.

Gao, Mali

Algeria's Decisive Action

My sources are telling me that over 35 hostages died in the rescue attempt that Algeria's special forces preformed this morning in the southern gas field. Around the world, opinions might vary and criticize the Algerians for taking decisive action and not waiting for the approval of foreign governments to "Negotiate" the release of the hostages.

Why was the decision the right one? First, this action by the terrorists is not the first nor it will be the last in this area of Africa. That is why you just do not negotiate with terrorists. The future amount of casualties as a direct result of negotiations might exceed the unfortunate amount of casualties in this operation.

Second, one must understand the more macro vision of Algeria; what pushed many of these terrorists south into northern Mali was the fight the Algerian authorities preformed in the past against these forces in southern Algeria.  The Algerian citizens and the foreign companies that want to use Algeria's resources to promote growth in that country need to get a clear and decisive message  "We will not tolerate these types of acts on our soil". This is important for the region as well because the terrorists will find no real urban populated areas to move too. The only other area they can move into is the southern part of Libya but that will not have major consequences as it has little populations or cities in that region.

The biggest problem Western counties have now is to show that they are committed to root out this cancer till the last drop of blood. It is already difficult for the French to show lasting commitment and to recruit other African nations to the fight. However, the foreign promise of capital is greater than any nationalistic priorities and I think eventually more nations will join the fight. Other Western European countries will feel obligated to join the fight but will probably only do it logistically but without real troop commitment which will make the French feel exactly how the USA felt in the beginning of the Afghanistan war.


Funny how things turn out

The Boomerang Effect

It should not surprise anyone that people make mistakes. Some government leaders are even expected to do more mistakes than the average person although they are elected officials (Not a lot of brain surgeons decide to try and get elected to a political position). However, when Western leaders in both the USA and in Israel keep on making the same mistakes over and over again, it bothers me and should bother you.

I am talking about the Boomerang Effect. This is when the Western leaders decide to take a side in one conflict or another and invest their hard earned resources and time to make one side win over the other side but with the eventual effect of making that side their future enemy.

What am I talking about? I will give you some examples.

Most recent is the new war I predicted will happen over a month ago in Northern Mali. Today, as you may have heard, the Al Qaeda elements in the north of Africa took over a large gas field and are now holding hostage over 41 foreign citizens. That not the news I would just repeat in this blog. What's more interesting is that a large part of these forces are made out of the Tuareg's; a nomadic tribe mostly roaming the Sahara and always wishing for Independence. The Tuareg's are mainly good people. They usually do not affiliate with the Islamist Fascists. However, they are also opportunistic  A few years ago, the US CIA has trained many Tuareg fighters in American style special forces tactics. These tactics are now going to be turned back on the French forces working in the area which is not good.

Sound familiar? We did it several times before and suffered severe consequences. Osama Bin Laden was trained and operated by the CIA in Afghanistan. Sheikh Ahmed Yassin the spiritual founder of the terror group Hamas was trained and supported against the PLO originally by the Israeli Mossad.

Cant we learn from history? The only glimmer of hope is that we still have human intelligence elements within the Tuareg tribe leadership and could employ these assets to turn this conflict around for us.

The Fatwā and the Monkey

Today the Iranian government came out with two very weird announcements.  Weird in the way that they are unbelievable and contradicting.

First, the foreign ministry announced that Iran is not allowed to develop nuclear weapons because of a Fatwa made by their supreme leader. Yes, the same people that stone women in the streets and cut off heads and limbs of prisoners of wars or just plain thieves are going to issue an edict that will save this world from war. These people believe in their scriptures that the world needs to burn flat in order for their prophet to reveal him self again; these are the people that we should now believe and rest assured will not build an atomic bomb.

Second, the Iranian government announced that they will send a couple of Monkeys to space soon.
