Beating the pirates

Filed under: Random Musings, Terrorism/War on Terror — Jaws @ 10:10 pm

Just a thought, from what I learned in AP US History.

Remember when President Jefferson deployed the Marines to fight the Barbary pirates (”on the shores of Tripoli”?

Why not deploy some Marines to once again, kick some pirate booty?

Spy Pigeons

I guess if swallows can carry coconuts, pigeons may be able to serve as “spies’ in the Mid East–or so claim the Iranians.

The infamous alumnas’ thesis

Filed under: Brandeis, New York City, Terrorism/War on Terror — Jaws @ 9:56 pm

Mind Hack’s takes a look at the MIT and Brandeis alumnas turned terrorist doctoral thesis titled: Separating the components of imitation and a latter paper which she authored.

It’s a shame that Brandeis happened to cross paths with this sociopath.

Captured

Filed under: Brandeis, Terrorism/War on Terror — Jaws @ 10:21 pm

The (suspected) Al-Queda member, Aafia Siddiqui. who happened to by coincidence, have studied neuroscience at Brandeis has at long last been captured over in Afghanistan.

Fortunately, she’s been caught and hopefully the Judicial system will throw the book at her and lock her away for her crimes (not the least of which is attempted murder of a Federal agent).

Looks like the (small yet annoying )fringe contingent of the alma matter has their cause du jour for the fall.

Trans-Fat Torture

Filed under: Terrorism/War on Terror — Jaws @ 1:08 pm

(via Don Surber’s blog)

Hot McDonald’s French fries and a call home encouraged Salim Hamdan to cooperate under interrogation but Osama bin Laden’s driver did not like cold fries and isolation upset him, witnesses said at his Guantanamo war crimes trial on Friday.

Now did those McDonalds fries have Trans-Fats in them? If so, that may be torture in a sense. Nor can you blame the guy for disliking cold fries…

Ahmadinejad target of ‘Rome X-ray plot’, diplomat says

Perhaps he’d like to don some tin foil the next time he’s in Rome to avoid the evil radiation waves…

Syria’s Osirak

Filed under: Israel, Middle East, Terrorism/War on Terror — Jaws @ 8:31 pm

The raid the Israeli Airforce conducted back in September, appears to have taken out a Syrian nuclear facility:

North Koreans Taped at Syrian Reactor

Will the name Al-Kibar now be synonomous with Osirak (the Iraqi reactor also destroyed by the IAF).

Bring back first term Bush

Filed under: Israel, Politics, Terrorism/War on Terror — Jaws @ 8:46 pm

Okay, in his second term, it looks like Bush has lost the swagger from his first term. In addition to his grasp on reality:

Bush said, but he predicted one could be reached within a year, putting himself more firmly on the line than ever for an achievement considered unlikely by many experts.

The experts are actually right on this one…

The continuing demise of common sense

Filed under: Academia, Terrorism/War on Terror, Wierd Side — Jaws @ 7:30 pm

Common sense would dictate that one shouldn’t do anything to provoke any reaction from the TSA.

Apparently one MIT student didn’t think along those lines and decided to wear something provocative (in terms of security) and thought that there’d be nothing wrong with it.

Obviously this student didn’t learn the lesson of the Mooninite affair and how hyper-sensitive Boston is.

Yet another example of where academic smarts don’t correspond with common sense.

Photop denied; microphone granted

Filed under: Academia, New York City, Terrorism/War on Terror — Jaws @ 9:40 pm

The NYPD and the Port Authority had the sense to deny Iran’s loony rambling leader the change to get a photo op at Ground Zero. However, Columbia University has made the (stupid) move to give the ranting man another forum and microphone.

As if the simple fact that “despot and dictator week: here in NYC wasn’t bad enough (a/k/a UN General Assembly Opening Week).

Hypocracy

Filed under: Middle East, Terrorism/War on Terror — Jaws @ 8:52 pm

Asked to comment on Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadenjad’s call to wipe Israel off the map, Assad said: “This is freedom of speech. Any person in the world has the right to express himself freely. This is just an expression.”

So says Syrian Dictator Bashaar Assad in an interview with CBS (via Debka) Because after all, Syria is a shining example of countries that allow free speech….

Osama Bin-Onion

Filed under: Terrorism/War on Terror — Jaws @ 9:31 pm

Bin Laden’s “remarks” in his latest cameo, are so similar to those of certain elements of the Left, that it’s as if he Onion wrote the script.

Incomplete Advertising

Filed under: Academia, Middle East, New York City, Terrorism/War on Terror — Jaws @ 9:54 pm

On a college campus, the presence of a 50′ inflatable rocket, isn’t usually interpreted to mean what it’s intended to.

Rather, the majority of students will perceive it as a giant 50′ phallus….

The event being promoted by the rocket does sound interesting:

“American policy options in the face of Iranian nuclear proliferation”

Sponsored by the College Dems and Reps and a pro-Israel group.

What’s going on here?

Sen. Levin getting hawkish and the US willing to talk with Iran and Syria?

Al Sharpton was possibly related to Strom Thurmond?

What a strange world we live in….

On the ISG report

Filed under: General, Middle East, Politics, Terrorism/War on Terror — Jaws @ 10:51 pm

It looks like everyone else has said everything that needs to be said about it.

But something which crossed my mind:

If this report was supposively “bipartisan”…how come it’s getting panned by (rational) people from both parties? Furthermore, what kind of reflection of the two major parties is it?

Finally–what the heck does Israel have to do with any of it?
