Operation Empty Chair

Oops.

The US embassy in Ankara said on Wednesday it had suspended “all non-lethal assistance” into northern Syria after members of the newly formed Islamic Front took over premises belonging to the Free Syrian Army’s Supreme Military Council, which is aligned to the anti-Assad opposition National Coalition. […]
The Islamic Front, which comprises six rebel brigades, seized warehouses reportedly containing dozens of anti-aircraft weapons and anti-tank rockets at the Bab al-Hawa crossing on the Turkish border last weekend. The group is backed by Saudi Arabia.

Al Qaeda in Syria: A Snapshot

Local Syrians call the boss of Da’esh in Tal Abyad “Temsah.” “The Crocodile.”
The Crocodile is Syrian. The name is appropriate for those foreigners who are feeding the crocodiles with money and guns based on the nonsense idea of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
Foreigners and some governments are helping radicals so that they will eat the Assad regime, with others–such as the Iranian Quds force–aiding Assad because part of their long game is to eat Israel.

The World Is In The Very Best Of Hands

Newsmax;

With few good choices in dealing with Iran’s push for nuclear weapons, former CIA and NSA Director Gen. Michael Hayden said he’s OK with letting the six-month temporary deal with the country go forward.
But we should be truthful, Hayden told Fox News Sunday. “We have accepted Iranian uranium enrichment.”

Turning to NSA leaker Edward Snowden…

“This is catastrophic for the safety and the security of the American nation,” Hayden said. Still, he doesn’t think the U.S. government should back away from pursuing Snowden.
To do so, he said, would be like “negotiating with terrorists.”

What Goes Around

Blows around;

Hezbollah fears more suicide attacks. That’s the headline in NOW Lebanon after a suicide bomber blew himself and others to pieces outside the Iranian embassy in the Hezbollah-controlled suburbs south of Beirut. […]
Hezbollah did not invent terrorism, of course. Nor would the Middle East be stable and happy if it weren’t for its suicide bombers. But there is a karmic sort of justice at work now that a terrorist army and its biggest state sponsor are themselves victims of their own deplorable tactics.

This Is Your Brain On Political Correctness

As the writer Barry Rubin pointed out, Major Hasan was the first mass murderer in US history to give a PowerPoint presentation outlining the rationale for the crime he was about to commit. And he gave it to a roomful of fellow army psychiatrists and doctors – some of whom glanced queasily at their colleagues, but none of whom actually spoke up. And, when the question of whether then Captain Hasan was, in fact, “psychotic”, the policy committee at Walter Reed Army Medical Center worried “how would it look if we kick out one of the few Muslim residents”.
So instead he got promoted to major and shipped to Fort Hood.
