  • Intel turf wars

    There is always a lot of jockeying for prominence in the intel world. Sadly it means that our overall ability to know what is actually going on anywhere sucks Hoover (the vacuum, not the cross-dressing, turf-protecting FBI guy). There have been some recent...

  • PC First Responders in Haiti

    I had an article in the Washington Times over the weekend about the pitiful lowering of our flag in Haiti so as not to offend the Haitians. It would be one thing if we simply had not flown one (although still lame), but to take it down was sorry. If the...

    Iran: While our leadership appears willing to move mountains to work with the Iranians, Iran is busy teaching the Taliban how to murder our troops more effectively. It is important to note that the Sunni Taliban and the Shi'ite Iranians have little...
  • Iranians helping kill our troops in Afghanistan
