Ninth Stage

It’s the new month already for Bj�rn St�rk.
Comrades, do not despair. The trap is set, the head of our enemy - tricked by his own schemes - has been placed between the open lion’s jaws, ready to snap shut. Even traditional yankee henchmen are beginning to realize the vastness of their mistake. Watching BBC World [...]

Swissair says good bye. They stopped flying today.

Virginia Postrel’s blog has a new look and a new location.

Bye Bye Baghdad Boy

OK the last post was my second to last thought for the evening. Bill Hobbs exposes “Baghdad Pete” Arnett again, it bears repeating Peter Arnett is a schill for Saddam Hussein, a Useful Idiot if you will. Check it out. Also:
“The first war plan has failed because of Iraqi resistance. Now they are trying [...]

Last thought for the evening. The coalition of the willing (non-cowards) are going to vince the invincible Iraqi army, republican guards, fedayeen, baathist, rapist, torturing, wannabe SS, pan-arabist losers! That’s a good thing.

Ralph Peters in the New York Post:
Try to understand how broken the Arab world must be, how pitiful, if the celebrated Arab “triumph” of this war is the execution of prisoners in cold blood and the display of a few POWs on TV.
He puts into words what I have been feeling about the “Arab Street”. [...]

“John Pilger: liar, fascist, psychopath, traitor” hey I’m just quoting this.
- there is NO atrocity a third-world tyrant could commit against his own civilians or the west which would bring unequivocal condemnation from Pilger.
- there is NO policy the west could implement against Saddam which would not bring Pilger’s unequivocal condemnation. Pilger wants tyrants [...]

Whacking Day reader’s words of wisdom:
For future reference for anyone who’s not clear on the concept, here are some pairings you want to avoid:
Frat boy — drunk girl.
Drunk girl — nailgun.
Baby — antifreeze in a sippy cup.
Disgruntled Muslim — grenades.

I’m back. I was on the road the last couple weeks. I’ts great to be back in TN!

The meme that MOAB = “Mother Of All Bombs” is now set in concrete, I heard it on Jay Leno’s show.
Update: That was last night. Tonight he likens it to an SUV.

The MOAB bomb has been tested at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. Link Here.
More: Here and US tests massive bomb.
Update: Also it seems that I was wrong about the kind of explosive in the new MOAB bomb:
MOAB, privately known in military circles as “the mother of all bombs,” has been under development since late [...]

Discovered after 10 years! Green lefties endorse use of tactical nukes in Iraq! “By comparison with the FAE, a low-yield tactical nuclear shell fired from a 155 mm howitzer is a little more than a damp squib.” (we all know that damp squibs are the only weapons greeny lefties would allow the United States to [...]

The dissident frogman reports (in a march 10th post) the mysterious disappearance over the weekend of some “radical pro-Israel site[s] and … radical anti-Islam sites” apparently by French government action while leaving radical “anti-Semite, anti-American and anti-Occidental sites” in place.
So what should I assume from this week-end’s events? Hating the Jews, hating the American [...]

It’s been a glorious mild day in middle Tennessee and now it’s a glorious mild evening, I’m going to go enjoy it.

Today I paid a nostalgic online visit to Salon. Salon the on-line magazine has over the years trained me with negative reinforcement to avoid the site. I used to enjoy some of their columnists and I always checked out the From the Wires feature. The decline started when they started to beg [...]

I’ve heard it said that “if evolution is true why are there still monkeys?” What I wonder is if evolution is true why are there still “cheese eating surrender monkeys“?
It seems to me that the French surrender gene would be wiped out in a few generations.

The MOAB Bomb. The first reference I turned up was this (scroll down) on that day it was referred to as a FAE (actually FAS) bomb just like the Daisy-Cutter, that post has been corrected. The cdi.org post pointed me to this Strategy Page photo and blurb that said “The U.S. Air Force is [...]

James Dunnigan compares America’s involvement with post-war Germany with a post-war Iraq and notes the lessons we have learned and the preparations being made. (via instapundit).
The U.S. Special Forces has studied the American experience in occupied nations after World War II, and it appears that much is being done to avoid past errors in post-war [...]
