Obama is Pulling Ahead of Carter.............by Dan Freidman
"The U.S. has never tried so hard and failed so utterly to make and keep friends in the Third World.”
Take a stroll down memory lane with the the late, great Jeanne Kirkpatrick and see if you can recognize the striking similarities between a peanut farmer’s costly errors in 1979 and a community organizer’s costly errors today. Of course, due to inflation, contemporary errors cost us lots more than they did thirty years ago. Not even the clear-eyed Kirkpatrick ever imagined that even the worst future president would stand aside and watch Carter’s Iran obtain nuclear weapons.
Lara Logan's Sexual Assault in Egypt
If the crime is rape, expect the most obscene responses to it, from both left and right. I frankly was horrified by the story, and needed more information. But that wasn't the case for many others. See: "Reactions to Lara Logan's Sexual Assault in Egypt."
Black Veil Brides
Just saying. In certain circles - concern for a re crunk'd up Caliphate is LOL'd. The bringer upper is often regarded as being paranoid, hot for fear mongering, loving Little Satan a little too much, m"Hammedist phobic - or worse - woefully misinformed.
So what?
Regardless of any chances that a trip on the Way Back Machine will - or will not -create a redux of Ottoman like Imperial m"Hammedism, there is a very serious - secular - concern about the Ihkwan.
Especially in Egypt.
And it should be addressed repeatedly until it's common knowledge in diplopolititary discourse au courant.
One of the charming things about Ihkwan in Pyramidland is all the jazz about all the 'hospitals' and 'clinics' they fund and run.
Try and find or search something about them - it's nigh impossible to find any specifics.
It is actually mind crawlingly creepy to add that to the mix that Egypt is the world's leader in horrific gender apartheid of the most depraved control freak mentality ever devised. Indeed - little girls from all over the AO are taken to Egypt to undergo a procedure that decorum prohibits mentioning.
So, is this the work of the Ihkwan 'clinics' and 'hospitals'?

Dear Abby.........
Dear Abby,
My husband has a long record of money problems. He runs up huge credit-card bills and at the end of the month, if I try to pay them off, he shouts at me, saying I am stealing his money. He says pay the minimum and let our kids worry about the rest, but already we can hardly keep up with the interest. Also he has been so arrogant and abusive toward our neighbors that most of them no longer speak to us. The few that do are an odd bunch, to whom he has been giving a lot of expensive gifts, running up our bills even more. Also, he has gotten religious. One week he hangs out with Catholics and the next with people who say the Pope is the Anti-Christ, and the next he's with Muslims. Finally, the last straw. He's demanding that before anyone can be in the same room with him, they must sign a loyalty oath. It's just so horribly creepy! Can you help?
Signed, Lost in DC
Dear Lost:
Stop whining, Michelle. You can divorce the jerk any time you want. The rest of us are stuck with him for two more years!

Video: E Patrol at Edendale Vintage Crank-up Weekend
E Patrol drove 9.5 hours South to Edendale to join the Hochgebirgsjager 4 Unit from MRS for a weekend of display, battle and fundraising for RSA and Rannerdale Veterans' Hospital.
Hochgebirgsjager 4 was very hospitable and made us feel incredibly welcome!! Their display was top notch and they were not afraid of getting their kit dirty; Fighters, every man of them! Damned good sports, we appreciate the effort they go to despite the negativity surrounding their chosen side - in re-enacting SOMEBODY has to be a Jerry and we fully respect and appreciate those who have the skin thick enough to do it!!

Egypt and that huge sucking sound!...........from Rico
This was a fast, easy 'read' and it pretty much tracks with what I've seen and learned during many-many years in the Middle East.
Egypt can go from 'equally bad' to 'much worse' but it will NEVER have a Western-style democracy.
- Our pro-anything-bad-for-us MSM bless their pointy "progressive" heads is battling to keep from telling us what we already KNOW. Even their prattling casnnot drown out the HUGE sucking sound coming out of the Middle East and Egypt today.
The Muslim Brotherhood?
- Extremely BAD NEWS for all concerned. When our Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Clapper says they are secular, he is demonstrating that he is just as CLUELESS a 'tool' as when he was head of DIA (Dummies In-Action as I am wont to say from experience, and not the Defense Intelligence Agency as they call themselves...they who believe their own inflated/conflated FITREPS). Yes, James Clapper is a monumental shithead in a city full of them.
And the LAST bit of cheery news? Soetoro-Obama is a freaking Marxist who wears his heart on his sleeve for Islam and Muslims.

Is Islamic Barbie in a burkha is a positive tribute to muslim tradition or, does it promote the enduring subjugation of women by a repressive misogynistic ideology?

Hell Hath No Fury Like Thomas Friedman Scorned...............by Dan Friedman
[I’ve been receiving a lot of mail today about St. Thomas Friedman’s latest anti-Israel rant. It’s been ages since I read his column or his paper and I only visit the website to download and print the puzzle, which I get for free. In that same spirit, I’m not going to supply a link. If you want, you can find them without my help. But below are a few well-chosen words from comrade-in-arms Richard Baehr of the indispensible American Thinker who still seems to let Friedman get under his skin.
Richard, the thing to remember about Friedman (no relation, thank G-d) is that he thinks the world of himself, but the world just won’t reciprocate - especially a tiny part of it called Israel. This in turn makes Tom furious because for at least 25 years the Jewish state has defied his prognostications and made him look the fool. Worse still, the product of his compounding rage is all there on the record in black and white. May Israel continue to confound Thomas L. Friedman and make his blood boil. The sooner the piece of poison burns himself out the sooner we can forget him. df]
Richard Baehr writes:
Tom Friedman, the single most overrated journalist in America, has been obsessed with Israel and settlements for three decades. In mid 2010, he accused Israel of behaving like Syrian mass murderer Hafez Assad, who put down a protest in the city of Hama in 1982, by killing most everyone in the town, 20,000 in all in a single day. Somehow, Israel's behavior reminded Friedman of this atrocity, since he accused Israel of following Hama rules in the 2006 war with Hezbollah, and the 2008 war with Hamas in in Gaza . Friedman believes the events in Egypt represented a great opportunity for Israel to drop its qualms and just make peace with the Palestinians, since the deal has been out there for a long time, and especially since he exchanged peace plans with the Saudis over sweet tea. . And of course, for Friedman, Israel's concern over what might follow Mubarak, and the stability of the 31 year peace treaty with Egypt that has prevented a land war between the nations after they fought 4 in 25 years from 1948 to 1973, is dismissed as Israel choosing to protect the pharoah, rather than stand for democracy, and disappointing the Obama administration which was such a paragon of virtue, speaking so forthrightly and consistently during the crisis.
