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 […]

OH, IT’S NEVER ABOUT OIL!

I don’t know of many instances where the US militarily intervened in another nation’s affairs which had nothing to do with economics or American hegemony. That’s why I don’t completely buy the current US humanitarian intervention in Iraq. ISIL has been burying Yazidi women and children alive, as well as literally crucifying Syrian rebels […]

ISIL – COMING TO AN AMERICAN CITY NEAR YOU

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), could deliver the next terrorist attack in America, Heavens forbid, and the potential event can arguably wear a stamp that says “Made in America.” It didn’t take long for the video electrons to dry after President Barack Obama announced that he will help Iraq “Prevent an […]

THE IRAQ MADNESS CONTINUES

Of course I laughed after I heard the US is upset about Syria President Bashar al-Assad ordering his air force to bomb ISIS positions in Iraq. This new development means the US and Syria are on different sides in the latter’s civil war, but are effectively on the same side in Iraq’s civil conflict. […]
