London Islamist Terrorists Were Known to Security Services
Yet Another, Astonishingly Similar Screwup!
Once again, incredibly, the monsters were … known … to those charged with protecting a nation against atrocities of this kind.
The Fort Hood shooter was … known. The elder Boston Marathon bomber was … known. The Nigerian attackers were … known.
Where's the outrage?
DEBKAfile reports:
EXTRA: Foreign Confidential correspondents report that Nigerian nationals without apparent legitimate means of support are certain to come under closer scrutiny by overseas security services in light of the London attack and the Islamist uprising and terror campaign in Nigeria. Even countries that have in the past felt relatively removed from Islamist terrorism, such as Japan and Taiwan, are likely to review the files of visiting and resident Nigerians, including seeming non-Muslims and actual non-Muslims or secular Muslims whose activities could be aiding and benefitting Islamist groups--e.g. Nigerian fraudsters, swindlers and drug dealers.
DEBKAfile reports:
The extreme savagery of the killing in broad daylight on a busy London street, culminating in a beheading, recalled the fate of Western hostages at the hands of Al Qaeda’s Iraq commander Musab al-Zarqawi in the years between 2004 and 2006. His custom of beheading victims became a hallmark of al Qaeda savagery.
What also stands out about this episode is that the jihadis did not run away, but waved their blood-stained hands in the faces of horrified passersby, boasting: “We swear by Almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you. The only reason we have done this is because Muslims are dying every day. The British soldier is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!”

On Benghazi and Obama's Real Foreign Policy Scandal
Regarding Benghazi, the real foreign policy scandal isn't that the administration lied about what happened, which was obvious from day one, or that security at the U.S. facilities was practically non-existent, or, even, that for all the billions of dollars spent on national defense, the Pentagon wasn't able to scramble armed units in time to save U.S. diplomats and support personnel from being slaughtered by barbaric, Third World terrorists and mobs.
All that, bad as it is, pales in comparison with the much larger scandal--namely, that the United States needlessly intervened in Libya in the first place and that the intervention resulted in destabilizing--and Islamizing--a completely contained, former secular enemy that had become an important asset in the fight against Islamism (rightwing political Islam).
In other words, the real scandal is President Obama's pro-Islamist foreign policy, that is to say, his overt alignment of the U.S. with Islamism and overlapping organized Islam under cover of diplomatically engaging (collaborating with) all Islamist regimes and groups with the exception of Al Qaeda, and, in a clear nod to Islamist ideology, an odious embrace of ("outreach to") what he insists on calling "the Muslim world."

Defiant North Korea Fires Missile from Coast
Provocative Projectile Firing Follows Yesterday's Launches
North Korea is ignoring U.S. calls for restraint.
Read more.
We are witnessing the complete unravelling of the Obama foreign policy. America's adversaries are not impressed by his lofty lectures on his view of how they should behave according to their true, enlightened self interests.
There is also a clear degree of coordination between North Korea and Iran, tag team partners in nuclear and missile crimes.
The United States should cut a deal with China about regime change in North Korea, reunification of Korea and U.S. withdrawal from the South.
Similarly, Washington and Moscow should cut a deal on the political neutralization, division into autonomous provinces and demilitarization of Syria.
There needs to be order in the world, which requires statesmanship--not political posturing--and deal-making at the highest levels of government. The price for pacifying Korea and Syria, and isolating--ahead of removing--the Iranian regime will be Grand Bargains among the superpowers (China and Russia need the status, still have the nuclear arsenals that must be taken into consideration, etc.) encompassing agreement on spheres of influence allowing for protection of key U.S. allies Japan and Israel. There is a huge difference between, on the one hand, staying strong and not being seen as weak and vulnerable, and, on the other hand, insisting on a divine right to "lead the world" in such a manner so as to approach the whole globe as a sphere of influence.
There is also a huge difference between isolationism and imperialism--not as Marxists use the term but as it applies to a foreign policy that aims to overturn the status quo, radically alter power relationships among nations, reorder and reshape regions (in the name of democracy promotion and humanitarian intervention). Both policies--isolationism and imperialism--are pathways to disaster.
