Unqualified Offerings

Get Donkey discusses a Cox Newspapers story about that vague, broad, useless Phoenix memo:
WASHINGTON –A memo written by a Phoenix FBI agent two months before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks linked Arab flight students to a radical Islamic group in England that has ties to alleged “shoe-bomber” Richard Reid, according to new information that emerged [...]

Or, How Bloody-Minded Can You Be?
Here’s a bitter notion: What’s the biggest danger of the war against al-Qaeda, and what some speculated 9/11 was aiming toward in the first place? Pakistan’s nukes falling into the hands of al Qaeda or another anti-American group.
Now suppose Pakistan and India go to war, and that war goes [...]

Just think of all the hits I’m going to get now that I have an item with “teen sex” and “fucking” in it. Especially from poinsetta fetishists!

Brian Linse has moved Ain’t No Bad Dude.

The Washington Post’s Jim Hoagland worries that “India and Pakistan are three to four weeks from a foreseeable war that the United States has done too little to prevent.” As we’ve all heard, the war has at least the potential to go nuclear. Since we do find ourselves at war with Pakistan’s quondam allies, the [...]
