Clandestine military operations are smart military operations

My new obsession is clandestine military operations. For the life of me, I can’t understand telegraphing your intent this way. Crack SAS troops are in Libya preparing for the arrival of around 1,000 British infantrymen to be sent against ISIS there in early 2016. Special Forces including military close observation experts from the Special Reconnaissance…

Immoral mutants who think words are as bad as murder

How immoral has American political culture become? Well, it equates words with mass murder. Actually, our political culture sees words as worse than mass murder. Look no further than this incredible op-ed. San Bernardino bloodbath born of bigots They were two hate-filled, bigoted municipal employees interacting in one department.

A primer on the Islamic State

Today I heard former British Prime Minister Tony Blair say that the 2003 invasion of Iraq “gave rise” to the Islamic State. Later on Twitter, a Jew-hater told me that Israel and Saudi Arabia created the Islamic State. And British Prime Minister David Cameron has insisted that the Islamic State isn’t Muslim.

The Taliban and the Islamic State

The US never supported, trained, or armed either the Taliban or the Islamic State. Every day somebody tells me that the US created both terrorist organizations. This is evidence of the decay of education in the western world and how politics destroys one’s ability to engage in critical thinking. When you personalize politics, you pledge…
