Defense Secretary Gates Drops “Islamist” from Characterization of Terrorism
We have a bunch of spineless leaders–Democrats and Republicans alike–who are afraid of offending our enemy–Islamofascism.
It seems like Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has gotten the memo the State and Homeland Security Departments sent out requesting that we be more sensitive in our characterizations of our enemies.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates last week referred [...]
Dutch Politician, Geert Wilders, Warns U.S. of Dangers of Islamization

Risks and Rewards of U.S. Raids in Pakistan
Ret. Army Lt. Col. Bob Maginnis has a great article up on Human Events about the Bush administration’s recent decision to go in to Pakistan without prior Pakistani approval. In the article he echoes some points we’ve been making here on The Conservative Beacon.

Proportionate vs. Disproportionate Response
President Bush recently characterized Russia’s military incursion into South Ossetia as “disproportionate.” That got me thinking about this whole liberal idea on warfare: proportionality.

Pakistani Intelligence Service Aiding al-Qaeda?
Just how much of an ally is Pakistan on this War on Terror? I would submit to you that its helpfulness is far outweighed by its hindrance, and perhaps its complicity.

A top Central Intelligence Agency official traveled secretly to Islamabad this month to confront Pakistan’s most senior officials with new information [...]
U.S. Strike May Have Killed al-Qaeda’s WMD Expert
Here is some potential good news in Pakistan:
An apparent U.S. missile strike on a compound in northwestern Pakistan killed six people early yesterday, including a man believed to be a top al-Qaeda operative and key figure in the terrorist group’s production of chemical weapons and conventional explosives, U.S. and Pakistani sources said.

Lawyers, Political Correctness Tie Military’s Hands in Afghanistan
It would appear, at least in my humble opinion, that many of the lawyers in the Defense Department value the lives of foreigners more than the lives of our troops.
Thanks to the lawyers and the effective of liberals to infuse political correctness into the Defense Department and the military, our forces are having to [...]
