Lessons unlearned

posted by Sibyl West

It should surprise no one that with all the Clinton retreads in the administration and the State Department, and all the Muslim sensitivity training of the last eight years, the ship of state should be listing towards the same old rocks. Ben Shapiro points this out in this piece from CNSNews.com and he is one of the better sources for analysis I’ve found because he knows the terrorist networks and actually gives names. One key of the puzzle is to understand that the different jihadi groups are like the nearly 300 ACORN subsidiaries listed as having their headquarters in the abandoned funeral home in New Orleans – different names for the same agenda. What is stunning, however, is to know that the Pakistani ISI plays good cop to the more bloodthirsty Lashkar-e-taiba bad cop. And the billions per year the US government gives the Pakistani army also has a trickle down effect in that direction. Once again the American taxpayers are paying for their own demise while funding Muslim upon Muslim brutality abroad.

The Clinton method took us from WTC 1993 bombing to WTC 9/11/2001. I don’t want to extrapolate from there to what may be in our future. As Jasper Schuringa demonstrated on flight 253, it is time for citizen’s Plan B.

When We Fail to Learn Our Lesson

by Ben Shapiro  Wednesday, December 30, 2009

President Obama still wants to try the Clinton administration terror strategies. Strategies like civilian trials for terrorists.  Strategies like shipping terrorists to American prisons.

Ten years ago, on Dec. 24, 1999, a group of Pakistani men hijacked an Indian airbus, Flight IC-814. After forcing the plane to land in Afghanistan, the hijackers negotiated the release of three terrorists virtually unknown in the United States: Maulana Masood Azhar, Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh and Mushtaq Ahmed Zargar.
 
And America slept.
 
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright testified before Congress that she was “concerned about the fact that groups … involved in the recent hijacking of Indian Airlines 814 operate in Pakistan.” She went on to explain that “we have been concerned about Pakistan’s support for the Taliban, who are, in turn, closely linked to Osama bin Laden.” Yet the Clinton administration did nothing, continuing to treat Islamic terrorism as a law enforcement problem.
 
It didn’t work.

The Wake-up Call from Flight 253

by Jeff Jacoby discusses these hard lessons and more:

• Terrorism isn’t caused by poverty and ignorance.
• The global jihad is real.
• Terrorists can always adapt to new restrictions.
• The Patriot Act was not a reckless overreaction.

A consistent record of failure

To the 111th Congress:

The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775 - you have had 234 years to get it right; it is broke.

Social Security was established in 1935 - you have had 74 years to get it right; it is broke.

Fannie Mae was established in 1938 - you have had 71 years to get it right; it is broke.

The “War on Poverty” started in 1964 - you have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to “the poor”; it hasn’t worked and our entire country is broke.

Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965 - you’ve had 44 years to get it right; they are broke.

Freddie Mac was established in 1970 - you have had 39 years to get it right; it is broke.

Trillions of dollars were spent in the massive political payoffs called TARP, the “Stimulus“, the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009…. none show any signs of working, although ACORN appears to have found a new source: the American taxpayer.

And finally, to set a new record:

“Cash for Clunkers” was established in 2009 and went broke in 2009! It took cars (that were the best some people could afford) and replaced them with high-priced and less-affordable cars, mostly Japanese. A good percentage of the profits went out of the country. And the American taxpayers take the hit for Congress’ generosity in burning three billion more of our dollars on failed experiments.

The Three Stooges - Bo, Harry and Blinky

And HERE is the latest systemic failure – AIRPORT SECURITY.

So with a perfect 100% failure rate and a record that proves that “services” you shove down our throats are failing faster and faster, you want Americans to believe you can be trusted with

a government-run health care system?

With all due respect,

Are you crazy?

The Lonely, Murderous Sons of Allah

It’s prickly and contentious, but it’s Chesler so expect some buzz in the academic feminist circles she inhabits.

A Psycho-analytic View

by Dr. Phyllis Chesler, Pajamas Media

One is the 17th son; the other is the 16th son. Neither are the sons of a first wife. One is an engineer; the other was an engineering student. Both have ancestral roots in Yemen. Both are educated and come from wealthy families.

I am talking about Osama bin Laden–the 17th son among 57 children whose father is Yemeni–and the Christmas Day Bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab–the 16th and youngest son, whose mother is Yemeni. Both men were born “shamed,” disadvantaged, because their mothers were not “first,” or high-status wives.

Both men are lonely sons of Allah, yearning for paternal attention, even affection, in a polygamous culture in which fathers have too many children and little incentive to pay close attention to any one of them. This is devastating, especially to sons, because the culture overly values fathers and men, and grossly undervalues mothers and women. Thus, the attention a son may receive from his mother (if she is not sent away, as Bin Laden’s mother was) does not make up for the missing and longed-for father.

Europe’s looming demise

Changes on the Continent cloud our future

By Pamela Geller

“The Europe as you know it from visiting, from your parents or friends is on the verge of collapsing,” Geert Wilders said in a speech in the United States last year.

The leader of the Netherlands’ populist Party for Freedom added: “We are now witnessing profound changes that will forever alter Europe’s destiny and might send the Continent in what Ronald Reagan called ‘a thousand years of darkness.’ ” And not just Europe, but America as well.

Been to Europe lately? Thought it was bad? You ain’t seen nothing yet. The passage of the Lisbon Treaty, hailed by President Obama, nailed the coffin shut on national sovereignty in Europe. The people of Europe fought it, but were overwhelmed by their political elites and the lack of American leadership in this age of our rather Marxist, collectivist U.S. president.

Come Jan. 1, 2010, a disastrous and suicidal pact called the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (Europe/Mediterranean) goes into effect with little fanfare or examination. It boggles the mind that such a consequential and seismic cultural shift could be mandated and put into play without so much as a murmur from the mainstream media.

Why should Americans care about this? Americans have to care because this global gobbledygook is coming to our shores, thanks to our globalist president.

Voila, un homme!!

A warrior loves peace like other men. But peril and injustice make him aflame with anger and resist. It is in their hearts.

Heroism, power, determination, resourcefulness, courage in battle, generosity and leadership are the natural qualities of work for the warriors (kṣatriyas).

Thank you, sir!

Mark Steyn pointed out on Rush’s show that the first time a Danish film maker was confronted by a Muslim wanting to kill him it was Theo Van Gogh who said, “Can’t we talk about this?” He was thereupon shot, stabbed and nearly beheaded. This time a different Danish film maker tried a more effective approach, the only one that works – force.

Cheney on Obama’s low key response

from Politico.com  

“As I’ve watched the events of the last few days it is clear once again that President Obama is trying to pretend we are not at war. He seems to think if he has a low key response to an attempt to blow up an airliner and kill hundreds of people, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if he gives terrorists the rights of Americans, lets them lawyer up and reads them their Miranda rights, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if we bring the mastermind of 9/11 to New York, give him a lawyer and trial in civilian court, we won’t be at war.

“He seems to think if he closes Guantanamo and releases the hard-core al Qaeda trained terrorists still there, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if he gets rid of the words, ‘war on terror,’ we won’t be at war. But we are at war and when President Obama pretends we aren’t, it makes us less safe. Why doesn’t he want to admit we’re at war? It doesn’t fit with the view of the world he brought with him to the Oval Office. It doesn’t fit with what seems to be the goal of his presidency – social transformation—the restructuring of American society. President Obama’s first object and his highest responsibility must be to defend us against an enemy that knows we are at war.”
