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…
It’s all right to be suspicious
September 16, 2015
A lot of people are suspicious that the Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthis in Yemen might turn against Israel. I don’t think that will happen.

Weapons of truth for Yemenis

I’ve gotten several e-mails asking me, “What are inert bombs? You talk about them a lot, but what are they?” Inert bombs are aerial munitions filled with wet sand or cement. They’re also called “dumb bombs.” Though they were originally designed for training, air forces began using them during wartime in order to reduce collateral…
