NATO to strike Afghan opium producers
Apparently Coalition forces in Afghanistan have now gotten the go-ahead to pursue measures against producers of opium, long a suspected source of income for Qaeda cells around the globe and for the ever-persistent Taliban forces. However, the new measures mention only attacks against producers supporting the insurgency - not just anyone. It’s not clear if [...]

17. August 2008
Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf is rumored to be plotting a resignation followed by exile in Saudi Arabia, according to Newsweek sources. It seems that Musharraf is afraid of what would happen if he were to stand and face an impeachment trial. Though his resignation had been expected for days, a move to flee [...]

7. August 2008
The Washington Post reports today that Barack Obama’s national Muslim outreach coordinator has resigned due to his connections to a man named Jamal Said. The Justice Department named Said as an unindicted co-conspirator in the racketeering trial last year of several alleged Hamas fund-raisers. “I am stepping down from the volunteer role I recently [...]

6. August 2008
With the United States pumping reconstruction money into Iraq and record-high oil prices around the world, Iraq is getting their money and making it too. The troop surge has led to a significant decline in violence and more productive work has been able to take place, leading to a somewhat lasting infrastructure. As a leading [...]

5. August 2008
Barack Obama is ducking a town hall meeting in Texas to go vacation and do some fundraising in Hawaii. Why? Well, because John McCain will be there and we don’t want to allow any kind of exchange or debate that might poke holes in Obama’s silk underpants. Now, that might be bad enough on [...]

30. July 2008
There’s no shortage of talk over Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Israel has said point-blank that it would not hesitate to attack Iran (again) if Tehran continues with a weapons program, and both presidential candidates in the United States have said that Iran is dangerous and shouldn’t have nuclear capabilities. However, the real threat has largely not [...]

22. July 2008
During a media conference call on Tuesday, a representative for McCain said that he may pull out of Iraq earlier than Obama’s “rigid” timeline, given the successes seen as a result of McCain’s own surge program to improve security in the war-torn country. During the call, Wilson and other McCain surrogates mainly continued to push the [...]

21. July 2008
Last week the New York Times ran an editoral entitled “My Plan for Iraq” by Senator Barack Obama. In his piece, Obama talks about pulling the troops out by 2010 and takes a couple of shots at Senator McCain. It was all pretty standard stump speech stuff. As expected, the McCain campaign filed a response editoral to [...]

17. July 2008
Republican and Democrats have found one thing they can agree on this election year. Using a picture of the burning World Trade Center on a billboard to promote a cheesy song is in terrible taste. But that’s exactly what Mike Meehan of St. Cloud, Florida has done. He’s trying to sell [...]

10. July 2008
Most military types will probably recognize this as having been out for a while, but I’ve never seen it. The AA-12 combat shotgun is capable of firing a laundry list of different types of ammunition, including one HE round that looks otherworldly. Versions of this have been out for a while, but it has recently [...]
