An Interview With Ryan Crocker, Former US Ambassador to Iraq

Q) And the consequences are? How dangerous a situation is it?

This is analogous to Afghanistan, say, in August 2001. And this time, it is Al Qaeda version 6.0. They make bin Laden’s 2011 Al Qaeda look like Boy Scouts.
They are far stronger; they are far more numerous. They have thousands who hold foreign passports and require no visas to get into the United States or other Western countries.
They are well funded, they are battle-hardened, and they are well armed. And they now control far more territory exclusively than bin Laden ever did. They have the security; they have the safety to plan their next set of operations; and they are a messianic movement.
Believe me, they are planning those operations. That’s why the Saudis moved 30,000 troops up to their border. They know that ISIS wants Mecca and Medina.
They also want to come after us. And I can tell you, as we sit here today in Washington, they’re sitting in Mosul figuring out how they’re going to get at us next.

But read the whole thing.

Trudeau’s Multiculturalism On Display

The underlying principle of Official Multiculturalism is that all cultures are equal and thus it is wholly inappropriate to criticize any aspect of any other culture. The next time you talk with a Liberal or NDP politician, ask them if they support views such as these:

Awash in diversity;

Yesterday the pro-Palestinian protesters in Calgary held another protest in front of the new City Hall. The “mainstream media” reported that the protesters apologized for the beating of the pro-Israelite protesters that occurred on July 18th.
What they did not want you to know is that after this so called apology yesterday, some of the pro-Palestinian protesters came again to the church uttering threats and declaring that they will kill us all. Because the church had, like always, for the past 8 years an Israeli flag with them. Some of the “terrorists” wear masks covering their faces and with their hands and with their fingers close to their throats were showing to all of us how they are going to cut our throats.
They were screaming at us: F*ck the Jews, f*ck Jesus, f*ck christians etc.
So much for the apology.

John Kerry aka Husband of Ms. Heinz aka Mr. Easter Island Statue aka the American Secretary of State is either a naive fool of extreme proportions or playing games while people die. How else would you explain this:

When The Times of Israel’s Avi Issacharoff first reported the content of John Kerry’s ceasefire proposal on Friday afternoon, I wondered if something had gotten lost in translation. It seemed inconceivable that the American secretary of state would have drafted an initiative that, as a priority, did not require the dismantling of Hamas’s rocket arsenal and network of tunnels dug under the Israeli border. Yet the reported text did not address these issues at all, nor call for the demilitarization of Gaza.

The Honor-Shame Dynamic in Arab Political Culture

Religion Of Submission 17 Comments

Arab political culture, to take one example–despite some liberal voices, despite noble dissidents–tends to favor ascendancy through aggression, the politics of the “strong horse,” and the application of “Hama rules”– which all combine to produce a Middle East caught between prison and anarchy, between Sisi’s Egypt and al-Assad’s Syria. Our inability, however well-meaning, to discuss the role of honor-shame dynamics in the making of this political culture poses a dilemma: By keeping silent, we not only operate in denial, but we may actually strengthen these brutal values and weaken the very ones we treasure.

It’s a good piece. (h/t Anthony )

We spent a few weeks guarding the Syrian border then given marching orders into Lebanon. It was the final push towards the end of the war. Everything is still very clear, the weight on my shoulders (33 kilos/72 lbs.), the feeling of my loaded assault rifle, the crunch under my boots. The soundtrack of war. Ours. Theirs. the quick rests and sleepless sleeps. The sound of incoming missiles, the comfort of a good cover. The smell of burnt flesh, a detached arm, flaming truck, charred tank. Helicopters come in, running with the wounded on stretchers. Gunfire. Incoming mortars. The first one long, the second short, the third… . In two separate incursions we took our positions, engaged Hizbullah, won the battle. We lost men. Fathers, brothers, sons. We stayed in local homes, tried not to do unnecessary damage, not always successfully. Pulled out. it’s been quiet on the Lebanese border since 2006. what’s left? Just me and my little PTSD. It helps me cope.

The rest is here.

Riyadh;

Police reports stated that the two men responsible for the assault were the mosque’s imam and amir. They were accused of dragging the victim to the rear of the mosque, where the machete deeply lacerated his right wrist. Medics transported the victim to a hospital close by.

Just kidding!

Police descended on the mosque in Philadelphia’s Overbrook section on Thursday and arrested Merv Mitchell, aka Mabul Shoatz. They also found a 2-foot-long machete. The other Muslim leader, the imam, who is 35, has not yet been apprehended.

Hamas is Losing and Everyone Knows it

Terrorism 12 Comments

Michael Totten;

That’s almost certainly the reason Hamas rejected the Egypt-proposed cease-fire agreement. So far it has accomplished practically nothing. A small band of serial killers on the West Bank managed to murder more Israelis a couple of weeks ago than Hamas can manage with its entire missile arsenal now.
It’s pathetic, really, and must be extraordinarily humiliating.
