It’s war by any other name

Asia Times Online :: Middle East News – It’s war by any other name
This is where the Hamas Meshal-Hezbollah Nasrallah connection comes into play. Both leaders are clearly not interested in peace with Israel. Their views are mirrored with their two allies in Tehran and Damascus. Both leaders are unimpressed by Arab regimes that call for peace and dialogue – prime on the list being Mahmud Abbas in Palestine.

They believe, however, that war on two fronts would achieve one of two things. Either it would get Israel to show aggression, justifying their own aggression against the Israelis. Or a best-case scenario would be that a two-side war would break Israel. Either outcome, Hezbollah and Hamas are the victors.  Continue reading “It’s war by any other name”

Islamism Facsism Terrorism

Asia Times Online :: Islamism Facsism Terrorism
World War III was the Cold War. To understand World War IV, it is important to know that Fascism and Islamism have a sordid 80-year history of collaboration based on shared ideas, practices and perceived common enemies.
Substitute religious for racial purity, and most ideological and organizational precepts of Nazism are essentially identical to the later precepts of the Muslim Brotherhood. This Marc Erikson series devestatingly traces the Brotherhood’s collaboration with fascism from the present-day brains behind al-Qaeda to the era of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem during World War II.

Cry havoc, and let slip the puppies of war

Asia Times Online :: Middle East News – Cry havoc, and let slip the puppies of war
Dogs of war incline toward caution, which after all is how they grew up to be dogs. More worrisome are puppies, who do not know what danger is. Gavrilo Princeps, the Serbian gunman who shot Archduke Franz Ferdinand dead in June 1914, was a puppy. So are the Hamas kidnappers, who at this writing still hold Israeli Army Corporal Gilad Shalit, and the Mehdi Army shooters who reportedly disposed of several dozen Sunni civilians in Baghdad on the weekend. The North Koreans, by contrast, are just nasty old dogs who long ago got loose from their leash. Continue reading “Cry havoc, and let slip the puppies of war”

Rival Chávez factions resort to deadly force

MiamiHerald.com | 07/16/2006 | Rival Chávez factions resort to deadly force
Internal, violent fighting among supporters of President Hugo Chávez is putting the government in an awkward position.

‘They’ve created monsters,” said Lisandro Pérez, a leader of the Tupamaro Popular Resistance Front, referring to the myriad pro-Chávez vigilante groups. “And now these monsters are eating them.”

Hezbollah warning from April

We posted this ominous premonition about the dangerous situation developing in Lebanon back in April’s Terryorisms Scroll down to read the 2 postings about the Islamo-Facist “Sacrifice-based Society”, contrasted with our “Success” driven one.

“When the Syrians were in Lebanon it was easy for us to control Hezbollah,” said an officer with Israel’s northern command. “If things got too tense we could put pressure on Damascus and the Syrians would act quickly to calm things down.”

Although the Lebanese government technically controls the border area, its military is not considered strong enough to control Hizbollah, which takes its orders directly from Teheran.

Khaled Mashaal, the leader of Hamas, preaches now from a Damascus pulpit. Sample: “Tomorrow our nation will sit on the throne of the world. This is not a figment of the imagination, but a fact. Tomorrow we will lead the world, Allah willing. Apologize today, before remorse will do you no good.”

The New American Cold War

The New American Cold War

Maybe the Bush Administration, with their pre G-8 meeting moves to give Russia Nuclear fuel recycling business and WTO membership, is in reaction to this article’s sobering analysis of Moscow’s new alliance with Iran & China -“OPEC with nuclear weapons,”

As a Eurasian state with 20-25 million Muslim citizens of its own and with Iran one of its few neighbors not being recruited by NATO, for example, Russia can ill afford to be drawn into Washington’s expanding conflict with the Islamic world, whether in Iran or Iraq. Similarly, by demanding that Moscow vacate its traditional political and military positions in former Soviet republics so the United States and NATO can occupy them–and even subsidize Ukraine’s defection with cheap gas–Washington is saying that Russia not only has no Monroe Doctrine-like rights in its own neighborhood but no legitimate security rights at all.
