Carbon will be the leading source of conflict

June 16th, 2010 | No Comments

Per Barbara Boxer: “I’m going to put in the record … a host of quotes from our national security experts who tell us that carbon pollution leading to climate change will be over the next 20 years the leading cause of conflict, putting our troops in harm’s way,” Boxer said. “And that’s why we have [...]

That pesky national security issue

April 12th, 2010 | No Comments

Obama assured us that although he opposed everything Bush had done for national security for the previous eight years, he would be strong on national defense.  Now, this is how things shaped up in just one week while I was on vacation. Obama tells the world he won’t use nukes unless attacked by nukes. Al [...]

Guess the terrorist

March 29th, 2010 | No Comments

Today two women blew themselves up in a subway in Moscow.  They killed 37 unsuspecting innocent people who had nothing to do with their gripes. Wanna guess what their motivation was?  Their religion? So, of course, the FBI raids a Chrisitan militia in Michigan.  No one is sure why at this point. Somehow I just [...]

Where to try the terrorists

January 31st, 2010 | No Comments

Barack Obama, when campaigning, promised he’d try international terrorists in civilian courts.  Holding up to that promise, he decided it should be downtown New York City.  You know, that place with something like 10,000,000 people living within the federal courthouse.  To be blunt, that’s just stupid.  It was the fact a terrorist was going to [...]

Barack Obama, CCR, national security, and terrorists

January 6th, 2010 | No Comments

Scott Ott is troubled that Barack Obama is having great pains trying to reconcile his intentions and security realities.  In the BBC article, that’s British Broadcast Company, the US human rights group Center for Constitutional Rights probably explains Obama’s mentality: “Dozens of men from Yemen who have been cleared for release after extensive scrutiny by [...]

Obama addresses flight terrorist systemic failure

January 5th, 2010 | No Comments

President Obama, realizing that Janet Napolitano claiming the “system worked” by allowing a terrorist covered in explosives to detonate himself on an airplane didn’t fly too well in the polls, stated that indeed, the system might not have worked too well.  Public pressure has been intense to do something.  To change the system even if [...]

Is the wall back?

December 28th, 2009 | No Comments

A while back I bitched and moaned about Obama‘s seeming attacks on the CIA and appointing a guy who has advocated rights moreso than security in charge.  What I was getting at is it seemed he was making the huge mistake Bill Clinton made that led to 9/11.  It was referred to as “the wall”.  [...]

Eric Holder

November 20th, 2009 | No Comments

  I try to come up with witty post titles to show how clever I am.  However, in Eric Holder’s case this week, he’s got me.  There are so many choices to pick from I get a brain freeze simply trying to pick one, or two, or three. Now, I’m not stupid, and most people [...]

Ray Manzullo’s savage religion

November 18th, 2009 | No Comments

Ray Manzullo made this unfortunate comment a little while ago: U.S. Rep. Donald Manzullo told WREX-TV in Rockford, Ill., that alleged terrorists imprisoned at the Navy base are “really really mean people whose job it is to kill people, driven by some savage religion.” He then went on to clarify a little: He said he [...]

Homeland Security Fail

November 9th, 2009 | 2 Comments

Immediately after Obama took office in January, the Department of Homeland Security seemed to take a drastic turn in policy.  Rather than concerning itself with terrorism associated with known terrorist groups, it seemed to target everything BUT known terrorist groups: DHS Report on Right Wing Extremism – Normal people just groaned.  It was that kind [...]
