THE ONE QUESTION BIDEN SHOULD HAVE ASKED UAE (WHEN HE APOLOGIZED)

You’ve heard by now that US Vice President Joe Biden publicly stated that members of the Gulf Cooperation Council plus Turkey have been supporting terrorists in these nations’ collective bid to overthrow Syria President Bashar Al-Assad—something many of us have been saying for a while—only to backpedal and offer an apology to Turkey and United Arab Emirates. […]

BOMBING SYRIA, LIKE THE WAY I FIGURED

After reading about the US bombing ISIL-held oil refineries in Ar Raqqah, Syria, I kept asking myself: “If the US can bomb militants away from an Iraqi dam—and not cause risky damage to infrastructure—why can’t bombing work the same way with Syrian oil refineries? I also kept thinking about something I posted four days ago: This brings up […]

SAVING YOUR LIFE BY BOMBING YOU TO DEATH

Here we go again—the US is undertaking another “Bomb to Protect” humanity adventure, which has killed civilians. This time around, the objective is to free Syrians and the rest of the world from ISIL’s tyranny. I can’t say the seven civilian deaths resulting from that bombing are isolated since recent news headlines seem to highlight more […]

ISIL BITS

While President Obama and other world leaders converge on the UN General Assembly and clog New York City street traffic, It may be a good time to map a few of the latest ISIL news stories to the themes I’ve been writing about. Read these first To fully understand where I’m coming from, read: A […]

THE BEHEADING KINGS

You thought ISIL holds the Most Brutal title with its beheadings of civilians? Wrong. This is what the United Nations‘ Human Rights office has to say about Saudi Arabia (emphasis mine): According to the experts, so far in 2014, at least 45 people have been executed in Saudi Arabia. Between 4 and 22 August, […]

A BETTER WAY TO DESTROY ISIL

My previous post about why I think President Obama’s ISIL strategy is lame will make most Obama defenders ask “Well, what’s YOUR strategy? ” This post serves as my answer. No matter how Team Obama markets its four-point plan to destroy ISIL, bombs take center stage here—as if America can offer nothing else to the […]

AMERICA’S ISIL STRATEGY LOOKS LIKE PICK UP STICKS

IRAQ, ISIL AND SYRIA STRATEGY IS PURPLE

You have to give Neocons like the Bush Junior Administration props for their near-perfect ability to plan, market, sell, implement, distribute and license wars—even if the results don’t turn out as planned, or you think their purposes for throwing down were dangerously selfish. Like any perfect sale, buyers should always feel as if they are […]

GLOBAL WAR ON TERROR, TAKE 2

We’re approaching another 9/11 anniversary, and while some of the victims’ names begin to literally fade away, I feel as if I’m living with a family member who is not only an arsonist hell-bent on setting the neighborhood ablaze — our house included — but who is also a fire truck salesman. Who could have guessed […]

RUSSIA’S 2008 RED LINE IS STILL A RED LINE

I thought you would be interesred in Russia’s 2008 prediction about the consequences of Ukraine becoming a NATO member. According to Wikileaks, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov considered Ukraine joining NATO a military threat. Lavrov also said that the NATO move would split Ukraine in two, start a civil war, and force Russia to consider […]
