New World War- Update

I questioned in a previous posting whether we were witnessing a long march towards a new world war. As I opined, the list of active "fronts" in the war includes Israel-Lebabon-Palestinian Territories Iraq Afghanistan Chechnya Bosnia-Kosovo India-Pakistan (Kashmir) North Korea We should get ready to add Somalia to the list, where, as reported by the July 21 Times … Read more

“A Reckoning”

The New World War
On this date, July 18th, in 1926, part 1 of Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kamf, entitled A Reckoning, was published. As we approach a new world war, it is good to recall the past…
.
When studying past wars in history, the machinations in words and deeds of the warring parties leading up to the initial shots of conflict can be quite telling. While the opening salvos in a given war may have taken the involved parties by surprise, a careful study of actions prior generally reveals many telltale signs that should have foretold the events about to take place. Heated rhetoric by history’s long line of psychopathic madmen often contained hints at what they had planned long before their awful deeds were actually implemented.
.
On September 1st, 1939, Hitler’s army poured across the Polish frontier from the south, north, and west in what is considered the official start to World War II. Some fourteen years earlier, a book written by Adolf Hitler, Mein Kamf (“My Struggle”), was released with little fanfare. While he was nothing more than a well-known agitator (and ex-con) at that point, the future dictator put forth a blueprint for the coming horrors of the Third Reich within the convoluted writings of that now infamous book.
.
On the need for expanded living space for the German people (Lebensraum) in Eastern Europe then currently occupied by other peoples, Hitler wrote:
Nature has not reserved this soil for the future possession of any particular nation or race; on the contrary, this soil exists for the people with the force to take it.
He continued, on the consequences to those who might refuse to yield,
The law of self-preservation goes into effect; and what is refused to amicable methods, it is up to the fist to take.
That fist would ultimately smash an entire continent and then some.
.
Back in October, the new president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, caused a minor furor by declaring in a speech that
Israel must be wiped off the map.
In the same speech, he continued
Is it possible for us to witness a world without America and Zionism?…You had best know that this slogan and this goal are attainable, and surely can be achieved.

Newt: Early Stages of WW3

Newt Gingrich was on Meet the Press today. I think he’s a long-shot presidential contender speaking to issues that resonate with many ordinary Americans, among them borders and health care issues. Today, however, he appeared on Meet the Press to discuss another area where he is strong- foreign affairs. The question comes from host Tim Russert-
Mr. Speaker, what are we witnessing in the Middle East?

PeeWee Knew- A World War Had Begun

The New World War

The following is the first in what will be a series of posted essays on the topic of the new world war, which I believe started Nov. 4th, 1979. I have been writing off and on about the subject in my weekly newspaper column for quite some time. Lately, others in the media are beginning to suggest a similar analysis.
————————————————————————————————————— 
In 1980, Cheech and Chong’s Next Movie featured a memorable scene in which actor Paul Reubens, aka PeeWee Herman, played a wimpy, whiney desk clerk at a dingy hotel. Soon after the arrival of Cheech’s cousin, Dwayne ‘Red’ Mendoza, complete with a duffel bag filled with “illegal substance” slung over his shoulder, the hotel and its guests found themselves in a classic slapstick uproar. The hilarious scene showed a panicked PeeWee on the phone trying unsuccessfully to get the local police to respond to the mayhem. He then shouted his famous line from that movie, “I think they’re Iranians!” Suddenly the movie showed hundreds of police cars, including SWAT and paramilitary units, helicopters and all, converging on the seedy hotel. Such was the atmosphere in Jimmy Carter’s America in the summer of 1980- Iran was public enemy number one…
.
Of course, with Commander-In-Chief Carter at the helm, taking cheap comedic potshots at the hostage-holding Iranians in stoner movies was about as much as America was able to muster as a response to this overt act of war. At least it brought some laughter to a nation otherwise gripped by near military and diplomatic paralysis. You know the story… no, wait- maybe you don’t, or perhaps you’ve forgotten- the hostage crisis that many believe set the stage for Ronald Reagan’s ascendancy to the Oval Office has seemingly been erased from the nation’s collective memory. Why is that? Is it that it was such an awful period in American history that everyone just wishes to forget it ever happened?

Israel, Gaza, & Our Common Enemy- Know the Facts

David Horowitz writes a fantastic piece in FrontPage Magazine on the goings-on in Israel. The outbreak of combat in that region represents another step in the long march towards world war. He lays out facts about the situation as it exists that all of us need to understand… Americans need to take a hard look at what is going … Read more

I’ve heard of “Land for Peace”…

as that’s all we’ve heard for decades – give the Paestinians Gaza and the West Bank so they can have their own state.  I don’t think anyone is generally against the two state idea, except the Palestinians and their supporters.  As I pointed out here and here (and lots of places out in the blogosphere), … Read more

Israel and Gaza (and now Lebanon)

Let’s see if I get this right.  The Palestinians, the poster children for victimhood (via great PR and gullible Westerners) got their way. The intifadahs were partially about having Israel get out of Gaza (legally captured as war spoils during the Israeli – Arab wars).  Israel blinked and gave in – they cleared out.  Gaza was finally in the hands of the Palestinians.  Peace broke out.

Right?

We ARE succeeding in Iraq – by one who knows

The following is an address given by the US Ambassador to Iraq, Zalmay Khalilzada.

Summary (and Conclusion)

In my remarks, I have explained the path to success in Iraq – the actions that the Iraqi government, the United States, and other members of the Coalition see as the keys to achieving the strategic goal of a stable and representative Iraq.  The Iraqis are going through a difficult transition, simultaneously facing the challenges of state and nation building while also fighting vicious terrorists.  Iraq’s leaders have committed themselves to a course of action that can succeed.  None of the steps in this strategy are easy, but all of them are doable.

I want to end by saying a word on the importance of succeeding in Iraq.  I am aware of the dangers of staying too long in Iraq, as well as the risks of leaving too soon, before success is ensured.  A precipitous Coalition departure could unleash a sectarian civil war, which inevitably would draw neighboring states into a regional conflagration that would disrupt oil supplies and cause instability to spill over borders.  It could also result in al Qaeda taking over part of Iraq, recreating the sanctuary it enjoyed but lost in Afghanistan.  If al Qaeda gained this foothold – which is the strategy of the terrorists – it would be able to exploit Iraq’s strategic location and enormous resources.  This would make the past challenge of al Qaeda in Afghanistan look like child’s play.  Finally, a precipitous withdrawal could lead to an ethnic civil war, with the Kurds concluding that the Iraqi democratic experiment had failed and taking matters into their own hands and with regional powers becoming involved to secure their interests.

Whatever anyone may have thought about the decision to topple Saddam – whether one supported it or not – succeeding in Iraq is now essential to the future of the region and the world.  Most of the world’s security problems emanate from the region stretching from Morocco to Pakistan.  Shaping its future is the defining challenge of our time.  What happens in Iraq will be decisive in determining how this region evolves.  Therefore, the struggle for the future of Iraq is vital to the future of the world.

Whose job is it to keep us safe?

TSA motto:  Close enough for government work

Let’s see.  A man passes through airport security with: 

  • a clock with a 9-volt battery taped to it
  • a copy of the Quran
  • shoes with the soles gutted out
  • a Middle Eastern name
  • incorrect responses to security questions

TSA response:  "All set, sir.  Have a nice flight."

Unbelievable.

The story can be found below the break, or here.

When will we take them at their word?

Six nations have been "diplomatically engaged" for a couple of years with North Korea – with no success. The EU-3 (Britian, Germany, and France, and the US in the background) have been "diplomatically"engaged with Iran for a few years – with no success.   Frankly, Iran and N.K. have played them for fools.  When will the leaders finally wise up and admit that diplomacy, the end-all-be-all for most liberals, will not work in these cases?  Do we have to endure an "event" in order to get action? 

From Little Green Footballs, I just saw this:

At the two-day conference in Iran we noted earlier, attended by officials from Bahrain, Egypt, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Syria, Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called for the Islamic world to mobilize and wipe out Israel: Iran’s Ahmadinejad calls for ‘removal of Zionist regime’.

New Movie- Islam: What the West Needs to Know

Press Release
Los Angeles, CA, July 6, 2006, Quixotic Media, announced today the upcoming theatrical release of the feature documentary Islam: What the West Needs to Know, An examination of Islam, violence, and the fate of the non-Muslim world. The movie will open in Landmark Theatres on July 7th in Chicago, Washington DC, and Atlanta.

As acts of Islamic terrorism have multiplied over the past years, numerous Western leaders have insisted that Islam is a "religion of peace," and that violence committed in its name contradicts the teachings of the Koran and the example of the prophet Muhammad. But rarely does this claim receive serious scrutiny.

For the first time, the question will be publicly asked, "Is Islam itself violent?"

This is the Religion of Peace?

The MSM (Main Stream Media) keeps harping that Islam is harmless, that most Muslims are not terrorists. While I agree that most are not, there are sufficient numbers to make it far more than troubling. Doug has been posting a few things about it, so I figured I’d chip in here a bit more. When I read about this from that failed state of Somalia where the Islamofascists have taken over, I thought that others might want to see it:

ISLAMISTS vowed to execute Muslims who skip prayers as they tightened their religious grip on the Somali capital Mogadishu and again Thursday rejected government calls for foreign peacekeepers.

Under an edict issued by a leading Mogadishu cleric, the five-times daily prayer required by the Koran will be enforced under penalty of death, a move that appears to confirm the hardline nature of the city’s Sharia courts.

"He who does not perform prayers will be considered as infidel and Sharia law orders that that person be killed," said Sheikh Abdalla Ali, a founder and high-ranking official in the Supreme Islamic Council of Somalia (SICS).

At the opening of a new Islamic court in a southern Mogadishu neighborhood late on Wednesday, he added that it was the duty of every Somali to implement the provisions of Sharia law.

Israel warns: free soldier or PM dies; Sherman would agree

The Israelis have as an enemy one who has vowed to stop at nothing until the Jewish state is completely eliminated. The Palestinian Islamofascists have shown time and again that there is no reasoning with them on a human level. They are barbarians. A July 1st news report from The Austrailian says

ISRAEL last night threatened to assassinate Palestinian Prime Minister Ismael Haniyeh if Hamas militants did not release a captured Israeli soldier unharmed. The unprecedented warning was delivered to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in a letter as Israel debated a deal offered by Hamas to free Corporal Gilad Shalit. It came as Israeli military officials readied a second invasion force for a huge offensive into Gaza. Hamas’s Gaza-based political leaders, including Mr Haniyeh, had already gone into hiding. But last night’s direct threat to kill Mr Haniyeh, a democratically elected head of state, sharply raised the stakes.

I hope they do. For many years I believed that Yassir Arafat, father of modern terrorism, should have simply been eliminated. As I stated in this previous posting, this is how our enemy must be dealt with- the only way to stop them is to kill them.

"Oh, but Doug- the Israelis blew up the power plant, threatening many innocent civilians!"

Canary in the coal mine?

Many pundits through the years have called the nation of Israel the “canary in the coal mine” of western civilization. Today’s sworn enemies of Israel know that standing above the Jewish in the so-called “free world” is the United States- otherwise known in the Islamic world as “the Great Satan.” After a fall of Israel, where do you think the Islamofascists will set their murderous sights next?

Ledeen: “There’s always a mosque”

One of my favorite thinkers and authors is Michael Ledeen. His recent book, The War Against the Terror Masters, demonstrates his knowledge and understanding of our war against the Islamofascists. Ledeen’s latest column takes up the same point I made in yesterday’s posting about the potential dangers posed by the presence of a mosque. In … Read more

Harmless as a “Modest Maiden”

In the classic ancient Chinese text of military strategy, The Art of Warfare, Sun-Tzu advises an attacking force:

“Revise your strategy according to the changing posture of the enemy to determine the course and outcome of the battle… At first be like a modest maiden, and the enemy will open his door; Afterward be as swift as a scurrying rabbit, and the enemy will be too late to resist you.”

 

Over the past weekend, the “New Hampshire Sunday News” printed an article written by Shawne K. Wickham entitled A call to build. The news contained within left me both perplexed and angry. When reading that

“Members of the Greater Manchester Interfaith Council are hoping that area churchgoers will pitch in to help build New Hampshire’s first mosque,”

I nearly fell off my chair. Why would they do such a thing?

“Quiet, Religious Men”

Back in March, I wrote in my Daily Sun column, “What if, while patiently waiting and planning the next big “hit,” our enemy was able to unleash small, individual attacks randomly throughout the US? Is it possible that the radical Islamo-fascists could unleash such attacks with virtually no coordination or planning, meaning no direct contact or communication between any would-be attackers? Is it possible that a radicalized strain of Islam, subtly taught in mosques throughout the US homeland, can have an effect on the ideological outlook of individuals in attendance week after week? Could some individuals so inclined toward jihad find communion with other like-minded persons via the technologies widely available in today’s modern world? Could ‘ideas’ be implanted in certain persons most receptive to such powers of suggestion?” This phenomenon is coming to be widely referred to as “random acts of jihad.” And it has now spread to Canada, our neighbor north of the “other border”.
