New Taliban Training Video

From the 2-24 edition of the Pakistan Daily Times:

PARACHINAR: Five Taliban were killed and four others were injured on Tuesday when the explosives that they were planting around their hideout detonated accidentally in Ali Sherzai Dar village, Kurram Agency, officials said.
According to eyewitnesses, the Taliban wanted to blow up the house –vacated by local anti-Taliban leader Ghazi Marjan – due to the security forces’ operation in the area when the explosive material accidentally went-off, killing five of them and injuring four others.
Two of the injured reported to be in critical condition. However, AFP put the death toll at four and reported six Taliban wounded in the explosion. The Taliban had been using the deserted house as a dumping ground for people kidnapped for ransom.

That being the case, the leaders of the Taliban are now requiring all new recruits to watch the following video:

DHS Head Invites Terrorists To Meeting

Big Sis Janet Napolitano is becoming a threat to national security.

I’m not afraid to make that statement because I figure my name is already on Napolitano’s terrorism watch list as a potential domestic terrorist.

After all, I repeatedly call her judgement into question.

And each time that I think that the head of the Department of Homeland Security can’t possibly present another piece of evidence to prove how woefully incompetent she is for the job, she proves me wrong.

Michelle Malkin recently did a report on Napolitano briefing members of three groups associated with terrorism.

Napolitano and her boss Obama still don’t understand that you can’t sit down and share milk and cookies with groups like the Muslim Brotherhood.

Not when the people you invited to the meetings would like noting better than to give you cookies that explode when you eat them.

Let alone sharing information on counter-terrorism measures with them.

The picture that America needs to be in the minds of terrorists is this:

 

 

 

Instead, when terrorists think of American security measures, they think of this:

No Tree Huggers Were Harmed In The Taking Of This Survey

A recent poll shows that global warming ranks dead last as a concern for the majority of Americans.

The economy, deficit spending, the size of the federal deficit and terrorism all ranked higher.

So how will this affect Al Gore?

Where will he find the money for all of the cheeseburgers he is stuffing down his throat?

Well, he can always count on his book sales.

As Barack Obama begins his second year in office, the public’s priorities for the president and Congress remain much as they were one year ago. Strengthening the nation’s economy and improving the job situation continue to top the list. And, in the wake of the failed Christmas Day terrorist attack on a Detroit-bound airliner, defending the country from future terrorist attacks also remains a top priority.

At the same time, the public has shifted the emphasis it assigns to two major policy issues: dealing with the nation’s energy problem and reducing the budget deficit.
About half (49%) say that dealing with the nation’s energy problem should be a top priority, down from 60% a year ago.
At the same time, there has been a modest rise in the percentage saying that reducing the budget deficit should be a top priority, from 53% to 60%.

Former Foe of George Bush Executed

After all of this time, it seems that George Bush knew what he was doing.

This man was only indirectly a foe of President Bush, but he was a foe to all of humanity.
Including his fellow countrymen.

Today, Iraq executed Ali Hassan al-Majeed, the Saddam Hussein henchman widely known as “Chemical Ali.”

The atrocities against the Kurds in Halabja resulted in the deaths of over 5,ooo people, and there is no way of knowing for sure just how many people died as a result of the actions of this mass murderer.

President Bush was right not to simply ignore this fiend and the madman who supported him, Saddam Hussein.

The video will give you some idea of the depravity of this madman, be warned, it may upset some of you.

From “Yes We Can” To “OK, I Get It”

President Obama’s first State Of The Union address will try and re-assure the American people that he “feels their pain” and that he is actually going to do something about it.
Good luck with that one Mr. President.

Seizing a chance to reconnect, President Barack Obama will use his first State of the Union address to try to persuade the people of a frustrated nation that he’s on their side, with a familiar sounding agenda recast to relate better to everyday struggles.

In a time of deep economic insecurity, Obama will use this stage on Wednesday to offer hope after a grueling, grinding first year of his presidency, aides say. For the many who think the United States is still on the wrong track, Obama will attempt to present a clearer sense of how everything he’s pursuing fits together to help.

And for jittery Democrats facing re-election this fall, Obama will seek to give them an agenda they can sell to voters.

Obama will propose ways to help the middle class. But any new ideas probably will play a supporting role to the plainspoken narrative he wants to tell, that his agenda works for people despite their growing doubts.

“Obviously you want to write a speech in a way that is interesting enough that people want to listen, and that leaves them feeling a sense of momentum and progress,” senior Obama adviser David Axelrod told The Associated Press. “But these are serious times. I don’t think this is a time for rhetorical flights of fancy.”

What to expect in the speech, which comes during a rocky period for Obama?

Heavy does of health care, despite the setbacks of the past week, and job creation. Obama will address the budget deficit, his bid to take on the financial industry, energy, education and immigration. All those issues, he says, fit into his plan to rebuild the economy.

The Most Dangerous Woman In America

Not only does Janet Napolitano get our vote for the most incompetent member of the Obama administration, she is also the most dangerous woman in America.

What else can be said of the person who heads the Department of Homeland Security, the agency tasked with keeping America safe from further attacks of terrorism, when it’s obvious that she doesn’t have a clue.

In a story you can read here on Newsmax, she re-affirms the administration’s desire to carry through with closing the prison at Guantanamo Bay, even though the deadline proposed by President Obama has passed.

So, her focus is on the closure of Club Gitmo.

How does she treat some other aspects of her position?

Christmas Day underwear bomber?
Well, according to Napolitano, “the system worked.”

Uh, Janet, a civilian passenger on the flight tackling the attempted bomber is not part of the system.
Of course, the flight did originate from overseas, so perhaps she thought she would get a free pass because it wasn’t a domestic flight.

This is the same woman who the only thing domestic that she worries about is her claim that returning war veterans are “potential domestic terrorists.”

We just had a visit from a friend of my daughter’s who recently returned from a tour of duty in Iraq.
This person is as likely to be a terrorism threat as I am to becoming a brain surgeon.

As are any of the members of the military I have known, including the many Iraq and Afghanistan vets I have met during the course of that very same daughter joining the Marine Corps.
She leaves for boot camp in May, and no matter where she is deployed, when she returns home I know that the last thing on earth I or anyone else will have to worry about is her being a threat to national security.

I’d feel a bit safer if Ms. Napolitano would follow the advice I offered her in this article from back in October and concentrate on dealing with the Jihadist traing camps that are right here on American soil.

Or if the DHS would take the time to monitor the activities of groups such as Hizb-Ut-Tahrir, a group many terrorism experts consider to be a bigger threat than al-Qaeda, as we reported here, back in July.

However, these matters don’t seem to be very high on Ms. Napolitano’s priority list.

Closing Club Gitmo, now that’s a job that needs to get done, because her boss made a promise.

Hey Janet, Obama hasn’t kept most of his promises, why worry about one that will wind up transferring terrorism suspects onto U.S. soil?

Napolitano is supposed to keep us safe?

God help us all.

DHS: Department Of Hairbrained Slackers

More than once on these pages we have taken Janet Napolitano and her crew at the Department of Homeland Security to task.

This woman, who heads the government agency that is supposed to keep Americans safe here in the U.S. is an absolute disgrace.

From her remarks about returning veterans being “potential domestic terrorists”, to her department’s practically non-existent role in border security, to the continued ignoring of terrorist training camps on American soil, this woman has no idea whatsoever of just what it is her job entails.

The disaster that was averted on Christmas day was not due to the efforts of the DHS, but rather to the actions of an alert passenger, yet in Napolitano’s fantasy world, “the system is working.”

Our friend Michelle Malkin has her own thoughts about Napolitano, as well as a transcript of an interview Janet did with CNN that shows just how inept this woman is, you can read it here.

Who Wants To Get Together To Visit A Mosque?

I wonder if we could put together a group of people to visit New York City?

We wouldn’t actually visit a mosque, just gather around outside of one.

Specifically, the mosque on 96th Street.

That is where the Muslim “Brothers Of Revolution” have set up shop.

As you will see in the video, they have picked this area to spout off their anti-American drivel, and to foster terrorism against American citizens.

And, as we here at the Freedom Medium reported back in June. the citizens of New York City are too cowardly to do anything.

These radical Islamists want to preach terrorism, I think it’s time to show them what it is like to be terrified.

Because if a few hundred patriotic Americans were to suddenly come around the corner to discuss terrorism with them, the word would gain an entirely new meaning for them.

Imagine a member, past or present, of America’s military, someone from the Oathkeepers or the Patriot Riders, or any other patriotic American walking up to these goons one-on-one, standing directly in front of him, and saying:

“OK pal, I’m an infidel. Here I am. Go ahead and terrorize me.”

So, who’s up for a road trip?

Political Correctness Played A Part In The Fort Hood Shootings

I have never been one to be “politically correct.”

And I am not about to break the pattern with this article, so be forewarned.

There are two factors that led to the shooting rampage at Fort Hood.

One is political correctness, the other is a severely flawed U. S. military policy.

As far back as six months ago, the alleged Fort Hood shooter, Nidal Malik Hasan was brought to the attention of the FBI over suspected comments he had made on a website.

It is now coming to light that Hasan had also been known to make some of the same sorts of remarks to his fellow soldiers at Fort Hood.

Among these were such red-flags as:

Describing the U.S. Army as the aggressor in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“If one suicide bomber can kill 100 enemy soldiers because they were caught off guard that would be considered a strategic victory.”
It’s being said that he had compared a soldier who died smothering a grenade blast to “suicide bombers whose intention, by sacrificing their lives, is to help save Muslims by killing enemy soldiers.”

Now if both the FBI and the military both knew, or even suspected, that these were the beliefs of this man, why was nothing done about it?

Have we gone this far down the path of fearing being charged with ethnic profiling that we allow a man who appears to have radical Islamist ideals to be a member of our armed forces?

During a time of war, Hasan should have been investigated, brought up omn charges under the UCMJ (Uniform Code Of Military Justice, and dishonorably discharged.

President Obama has promised a full investigation of the circumstances that led to this tragedy, and I hope he starts with the chain-of-command at Fort Hood, and at any other military base where Hasan may have been stationed.

The second thing that was a direct factor in this tragedy is the idiotic U.S. military policy which does not allow the carrying of loaded weapons on base.

This is contrary to the policy of almost every military training facility in the world.

If the troops at Fort Hood had been allowed to carry the weapons that they train with, this would have had a much different outcome.

Instead, it took the brave actions of a civilian female police officer to bring an end to Hasan’s rampage.

What in the hell is wrong with this picture when the largest military facilty in the world has to contract out with a civilian police force to provide base security?

I am furious about what happened at Fort Hood for a number of reasons, but there are two that really hit close to home.

One is that a close family friend has a son stationed at Fort Hood, and we agonized for hours before learning that he was OK.

The other is that next May my daughter leaves for the Marine Corps Recruit Depot at Parris Island.

Up until now, I have felt somewhat secure for her safety in knowing that the odds are highly against her being assigned to a front-line combat unit.
At least that is the policy right now.

Now I am left with the thought that, in spite of receiving the finest traing that the U.S. military has to offer. i have to fear for her safety while she is still stateside?

President Obama and I agree on almost nothing he proposes.

If he were to overturn this ludicrous policy prohibiting uniformed personel from carrying loaded weapons on-base, for that measure he would have my fullhearted support.

I am hoping that, not just for the sake of my daughter, but for the sake of all of the brave men and women who serve in our military, that in this day and age of war and terrorism, the least we can do is allow them the means to protect themselves.

Update: Late Breaking News: Fort Hood Shooter Had Links To 9-11 Terrorists

Obama Already Knows Who He Will Be Running Against In 2012

This shouldn’t come as a big surprise to anyone.

It’s not like It’s a deep, dark political secret.

Actually, it should be fairly obvious to everyone.

In 2012, Barack Obama will be running against the same man he ran against in 2008.

No, not John McCain.

The man Obama ran against in 2008 is the same man he will run against in 2012, George Bush.

If the truth be told, he is still running against Bush.

As the Democrats suffered huge losses in two states that were firmly in the Obama column in last year’s Presidential race, Obama traveled to Wisconson to give a speech.

During his remarks, President Obama had this to say:

His administration faced a “financial crisis that threatened to plunge our economy into a Great Depression, the worst that we’ve seen in generations.”
“We had record deficits, two wars, frayed alliances around the world.”

In other words, it’s all George Bush’s fault.

With all due respect Mr. President, it’s time to step up to the plate.

We all know that President Obama didn’t walk into a job where he wouldn’t be facing any major problems.

On the other hand, Mr. Obama  surely knew what he would be facing.

A financial crisis?

Millions of people are out of work, thousands more continue to lose their homes, the stock market is still in the tank, retirement accounts are still losing money.

Just this week, the Senate passed a bill to extend unemployment benefits.

And in their infinite wisdom, they also tacked on a provision giving a tax credit to first-time home buyers.

President Obama, how in the hell is someone going to buy a house if they don’t have a job?

Record deficits?

Between this administration’s out of control spending, not to mention the pricetag we will face if the health care reform package passes, America’s federal deficit will reach levels undreamed of by even the gloomiest economic forecaster.

Two wars?

We still have two wars, and we are not one step closer to resolving either conflict than we were the day you took office.

Yet as President Obama focuses on passage of health care reform, members of America’s military continue to die in Iraq and Afghanistan, because the President doesn’t want to come to a hasty decision about a request to send additional troops.

Again, with all due respect Mr. President, American soldiers are being killed!

America has managed to survive for over 200 years without nationalized health care, a few more weeks wouldn’t make that much of a difference.

Instead of worrying about if someone can get a free doctor’s visit, focus instead on this country’s young men and women who are giving their lives in a foreign land.

Pull all of our forces out, send more troops, don’t send more troops, but in the respect of all that is decent and honorable, make a decision!

Frayed alliances?

Does the President really think that traveling to various countries and apologizing for the so-called “mistakes” of America has made us the darlings of the world?

The leaders and citizens of most of those countries are laughing behind the President’s back, while North Korea and Iran, two nations run by certifiable nut cases, continue to work towards building a nuclear arsenal.

Yes, President Obama did inherit some serious issues.

However, he asked for the job.

America gave it to him.

It’s time that he stop blaming the guy who had the job before him for everything that he has failed to fix.

And before all of you who will send a comment saying “Well, give the man a chance, he’s only been in office for a year” respond to this article, do us this favor.

Point out where the unemployment rate has dropped, where the stock market has rebounded, where federal spending on dubious programs has been cut back, or where President Obama has made any significant progress towards getting America back on it’s feet.
Those of you who call Iraq and Afghanistan “George Bush’s wars’s” point out where we are any closer to seeing the end of the carnage.
Show us where the threat of a terrorist attack has been significantly reduced.

And when you have failed to do so, it will be time for all of you who apologize for President Obama, as well as the President himself, to face one cold hard fact.

George Bush isn’t President anymore.
