Third World countries don’t understand the meaning of counterproductive
Just as the Haitians did in the aftermath of the horrific earthquake that rocked their country, the Pakistanis are protesting the slow arrival of aid in the wake of devastating flooding by blocking streets necessary to deliver such aid. Do Third World countries not understand the meaning of the term “counterproductive”?

Pakistani Taliban behind Times Square attack
On today’s podcast: What those of us who aren’t inflicted with the disease that is political correctness have been saying from the outset has finally been confirmed: the Times Square attack was committed by an Islamofascist connected to a terrorist organization–the Pakistan Taliban. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton makes one of the dumbest statements ever: [...]
Pakistan is the center of Islamic terrorism
I have been writing for two years now–two–that Pakistan is the new home of and staging ground for the Islamofascists, not Afghanistan. Afghanistan is certainly still dangerous and continues to be, to a lesser extent, a base for terrorism. But the center of Islamic terrorism–the “new Afghanistan” if you will–is Pakistan. It has taken Times [...]
American-born al-Qaeda member Adam Gadahn captured by Pakistanis
This is breaking news so there aren’t a lot of details publicly available yet. The American-born spokesman for al-Qaida has been arrested by Pakistani intelligence officers in the southern city of Karachi, two officers and a government official said Sunday as video emerged of him urging U.S. Muslims to attack their own country. He was [...]
20% terrorist recidivism rate acceptable to Obama’s terrorism czar; Obama dictatorial-like behavior continues; Ellis Washington on Thomas Sowell
President Obama’s counterterrorism czar believes that a 20% terrorist recidivism rate is “acceptable.” He compares terrorists to criminals (I know, it’s shocking an Obama administration official would do such a thing!). We shouldn’t be satisfied with a 20% recidivism rate. We should strive for 0%. What have President Obama and Rahm Emanuel learned from Scott [...]
Pakistan refusing to fight terrorism
The Pakistani army has announced that it will not be carrying out any new offensives against Taliban and al-Qaeda (AQ) fighters along the Pakistan-Afghan border. They’re using the excuse of needing time to stabilize the gains they made on their recent offensive in the region. This decision is par for the course for Pakistan with [...]
Taliban Chief Hiding in Populated City to Avoid Predator Drone Attacks
U.S. intelligence officials believe that Taliban leader Mullah Omar has moved to the Pakistani port city of Karachi in order to avoid Predator drone strikes. Why would Omar believe moving to a more populated area increase his security against drone attacks? Because under Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s approach and his prescribed Rules of Engagement (ROE) for [...]
Lt. Col. Ralph Peters on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Saudis
I had the great honor privilege of interviewing Lt. Col. Ralph Peters on a range of issues within the War on Terror. You can hear Lt. Col. Peters discuss Gen. Stanley McChrystal and his assessment, American strategy in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the affect of the Saudis on the War on Terror, and whether we’re winning [...]
Pakistan Bolstering Its Defense at America’s Expense
By Josh Price Pakistan’s contributions to the War on Terror are beginning to amount to nothing more than a poorly run dog and pony show. Consistent readers of the Conservative Beacon will know that I am not convinced that Pakistan is fully committed to rooting out the Islamofascists with in its borders. Sure, they’ve produced [...]
