Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Remember, Obama exists totally and only..in rhetoric. He has no connection to or interest in reality. It’s all in His Words.
The pre-election boasts from Obama that Al Qaeda was finished had one agenda: manipulation. Benghazi was an unfortunate intervention, rapidly deflated by the Obama Gang.
They sent out Rice to five (that’s five, count them) major media events to tell the public that the attacks were not Al Qaeda but were due to American culpability; that nasty video. Obama and Hillary then made their own public video to Pakistan apologizing for ‘that video’. Gosh, that video still exists and not a whisper of angst from Islamists anywhere. Benghazi? Silence. The WH has no interest in finding out what really caused it.
Now that Obama has won the election, he will show no interest in Al Qaeda. None. In His mind, it doesn’t exist because he said it doesn’t exist. It has no role in his life now and he’ll ignore it.
He’s now on to enlarging his electoral base by giving illegals citizenship. Power and manipulation; that’s Obama.
Seems pretty murky. All we can safely say is that beautiful Islam isn’t involved and Muslim grievances need to be addressed.
Hmmmmmmmmmm.
France gets its ass kicked in one of its former colonies.
USA rushes in to help.
Let’s combine VietNam WITH Afghanistan and see how that works out.
Al Qaeda is gathering control across the entire Sahel, from the Atlantic to the Red Sea. This story from a couple days ago describes how powerful AQ has become.

Our toy President should stick to his area of expertise: Basketball.
I’m not sure which is worse. Being kidnapped by al quaeda, or being rescued by Algerians.
ET: That’s it…in the proverbial nutshell. Kudos.
On a side note though, if you work for a multi-national company in a country that is pre-dominantly Islamic, expect this kind of crap to start happening to you.
It is time to re-think your employment goals, because the company is not going to issue you a flak jacket and an AR-15 to protect yourself at any rate, and if you are extremely unlucky, your last seconds on this planet will be watching some rabid Islamofacist preparing to remove your head from your shoulders.
Just keep in mind, your government does NOT have your best interests at heart.
On the other hand, the French have a LOT of pretty successful historical experience dealing with North African Muslims, and quite frankly the french diplomatic & intelligence services are a lot more clever than the American ones, and this is effectively their back yard.
Could go either way.
On the other hand “Algerian copter attack kills 35 hostages and 15 kidnappers” more of this as a policy would soon stop hostage situations, between the takers knowing that they _will_ get pasted, and the hostages knowing they are dead anyway, so they might has well rush the takers and see if they can end it themselves hostage taking would be utterly pointless.
“The WH has no interest in finding out what really caused it.”
The White House knows exactly what caused Benghazi,it’s just that we have no need to know.
Defeating Islam is as impossible as defeating Christianity, even more difficult because the adherents to Islam are often from a less sophisticated culture and don’t mind dying for their beliefs.
We are essentially secular, we believe in diversity and inclusiveness,which don’t quite equate to Allah.
It’s going to be a long war,and in the end we’re going to lose, but it will probably take another fifty years,so I’m not going to worry about it.
Good to see the Algerian government blast those jackasses.
Algeria from the north, France from the south in Mali, Obama quivering in his boots.
Once other Muslim countries join the military action against al-Queda, it’s important to support them.
Better change the headline.
According to the story, SIX hostages were killed and 25 escaped.
It’s too bad for the eight kidnappers that they’re about to meet Satan.
France is a nuclear power. Time to detonate a few neutron bombs over northern Mali, and take out the trash.
Of course ET will blame Obama for this episode…. nice try.
Maybe Obama is actually right about something. Decimated means one-in-ten have been killed, leaving 90% still alive.
Decimation was a Roman punishment for units that mutinied or fled from battle. One out of every ten soldiers in the unit, drawn by lot, would be beaten to death by the other nine.
Bin Laden bin dead 2001: Fox News
“Usama bin Laden has died a peaceful death due to an untreated lung complication, the Pakistan Observer reported”
“The source claimed that bin Laden was laid to rest honorably in his last abode and his grave was made as per his Wahabi belief.”

“All the evidence suggests Elvis Presley is more alive today than Osama bin Laden. But tell that to the CIA and all the other misconceptualizers of the War on Terror.”

Typical reporting by AP.
The headline says it all. It wasn’t the militants who killed the hostages, it was those nasty Algerian helicopter gunships. Never mind that the hostages were just that, hostages.
The brainwashing and the skewed perspective just goes on and on.
We will never win this war unless the reporting by our MSM reflects the policies of our civilization.
The Algerians used the best strategy when dealing with hostages. Ignore them and kill as many kidnappers as possible, as soon as possible. The bad guys will quickly find out that having hostages is a detriment.
Who is surprised? Certainly not me.
This is muslims putting up a Potemkin village show for the infidels.
Offing 15 ‘fellow’ muslims with 35 infidels is net benefit to the ummah, don’t you understand?
Ahh, keep arming muslim countries, keep ‘building democracy’ there.
I’ve got a live blog going: ‘Reports: 35 Hostages Killed in Algeria’.
queerbekpisst…no it won’t be ET that lays the blain on this failure on Obumbles, it will be me, Obumbles doesn’t understand that a video war(drones) ain’t a stand alone method that can achieve the desired end result, it can only be used as support method. U see Obumbles is not versed in was tactics and so will keep making poor to failing decissions, and the terorrists know this and will use this window (as long as this idiot is president os the USA)oportunity to expand their base and cause grief for their NME’s. Obumbles is also politically illiterate because of his narssistic condition, so this works out for a win-win for the Islamists, capice U fool????
NME666, exactly.
You are exactly right about Obama’s pathological fascination with his video game, his selection of Who Shall My Drone Kill Today?
The fact that three self-confessed terrorists were waterboarded pales beside the fact that over 3,000 suspected terrorists along with any civilian strolling along near them, were totalled by The Great Video Game Master, Obama. That is pathological. For a CoC to personally engage in such an activity is, in one word, a sign of a demented personality.
Yes, it does make Him feel powerful; He gets to select Who He’ll kill today. Notice that Obama’s need for power, for total control over others, is actually Obama’s basic nature.
Again, he’s going to show no interest in the FACT that Al Qaeda is not merely resurgent but growing. For Obama, reality has no existence other than in His Words.
Meanwhile, I think he’ll also take a perverse pleasure in the increase in taxes, the costs of ObamaCare, and the growing complaints of citizens. That will show Him, that He’s in control. Adulation is one way to show submission, but anger at the Power of Obama, is another way. Obama likes submission, so he’ll take both your adulation and your anger. After all, he’s In Power.

What like LAS you can’t read a newspaper either?

Obamba opened Libya’s jails & armouries to Al Qaeda – JUST as everyone with commonsense warned he would do. NOW those weapons are being used in every North African country including Syria to repress and murder the populations.
The Al Qaeda “Rebels” in Mali using Libyan arms provided by Obamba are the same ones who have come across the border into Algeria and hold the refinery in Amenas.
Here is something in French for you.

PS: I was a permanent resident of Hassi Messaoud for 2 years and have been to this same facility in In Amenas many times, only a short commuter flight away maybe 10 hours by road through the desert.
I got out in Dec 2001, 3 months after 911 and went to Singapore because I knew something like this was inevitable. Ok it took 12 years.
You know, it would be a real shame if every honkey in the Middle East working on all those oil rigs and such just upped stakes and went back to HonkeyLand. Then what would all the Noble Mooselems do when the pump broke on the pipeline?
I think its a lot more likely that the French will revert to standard and conquer the hell out of them all. Again. As somebody said above, France is a nuclear power.

You could never believe the incompetence of the population unless you experience it firsthand. Seriously, if the western expats were not in Algeria the country would fold up into the Stone Age.
I have no doubts that at least half the expatriate companies have left the country over this, the other half on emergency standby for evacuation.
On a side note: I accidentally came across a Wiki story today describing an incident that happened a few blocks from me over a few nights July 2001 in Hassi. I’ve related it a few times on SDA in the past, and was surprised to see it in print as it wasn’t international news that I’m aware of. It doesn’t nearly describe the full horrors that occurred those nights as it was related to me the following morning by my security. The local Imam whipped up the towns men with the religion of peace and they went out raping and murdering ANY woman they caught out in the streets. They cut off their breasts and raped many of them to death with shovels, brooms or whatever they could find.

Anyway, the French already lost a gruesome bloody war against the Algerians. The biggest problem they face now is that they have imported millions of them into France. If France ever “nuked” Algeria, they may as well nuke themselves, as they have already cooked their own goose from within.
If Quebeckie (or anyone else) does not wish to delve deeper into Benghazi and its aftermath (the Middle Eastern “Fast and Furious”, if you will), they had better start now. It’s no accident that the current administration is facing what it is facing now.
Obama can now claim he created 35 jobs…. actually 46 if you include the new vacancies for Islamic militants.
Phantom, as Knight 99 points out, it’s not the locals or the Muslims who are the technological experts; it’s westerners. This is valid in all the MENA; there’s a huge contingent of expertise, all foreign, that the MENA relies on to run those oil and gas works.
For whatever reason, the Islamic population doesn’t develop their own technological expertise. They work primarily in the secondary tasks. Their own fault, their own failure. They carry this attitude to the West, where, for example, in France and Belgium, many live on welfare.
Moving this culture out of this non-industrial mindset will take decades and decades. Not easy but I don’t see any other future; it has to be done, but they instead, rely on the West for both expertise and money.
