N. Korea's New Year Message: 'Human Shields' Must Defend Kim to Death as Starving, Freezing Nation Marches Toward Prosperity
The "whole party … will become human bulwarks and human shields in defending Kim Jong Un." New Year insanity from the world's worst dictatorship, a nuclear-armed, country-sized concentration camp. Click here for the story.
The emphasis on becoming an "economic giant" may reflect increased Chinese influence on economic policy.
Be that as it may, North Korea cannot afford to let up on repression even for a minute. Any loosening of state controls could cause the regime to come apart at the seams.

All Islamists are clerical fascist foes, implacable enemies of Western civilization and civilized humanity in general.
Confusing pragmatism with moderation is dangerously delusional. To promote the idea of moderate Islamism--moderate rightwing political Islam/moderate fascism--is to misinform, at the very least, and, when doing so knowingly, to deliberately misinform, or disinform.

EARLY WARNING: NORTH KOREA
UPDATE: N. KOREA THREATENS SOUTH WITH 'SEA OF FIRE'
As Foreign Confidential™ predicted, North Korea shows no signs of softening its stance. To the contrary; the North is hardening its positions on South Korea and the nuclear issue, Foreign Confidential™ analysts assert. They say the Kimist regime will never abandon nuclear arms, will instead continue to develop nuclear warheads and missiles … including ICBMs … and will steadfastly seek to … conquer … the South, as insane as that aim may seem in light of South Korea's military might, the presence of U.S. troops in the South, and the U.S. commitment to defend the South against aggression from the North.
New provocations by the North are certainly in the works, including long-range missile tests and a third nuclear device detonation--which will be observed by Iranian military and intelligence officers and technicians.
The North is also likely to soon provoke a new military crisis with the South and the United States. An armed clash or attack of some sort could be imminent.
North Korea is the world's worst--and most dangerous--dictatorship, followed by Iran, the North's partner in proliferation. North Korea intends to drive the United States from the Korean Peninsula. Iran intends to drive the U.S. from the Middle East. Not for nothing have these Axis of Evil partners test-fired missiles from seemingly civilian cargo vessels. Google EMP attack or search Foreign Confidential™ for archived articles on the threat, against which there is no known defense.
Unless the rogue regimes are ended, the U.S. and the so-called international community will still be debating sanctions … and the Useful Idiots of Appeasement, led by former Idiot-in-Chief Jimmy Carter, will still be taking about talks and ... root causes … right up until the lights go out … all across the country.

Taiwan Fukushima Feared
NUCLEAR PLANTS SITED
Taiwan imports 99 percent of its energy, which is vital to its rapidly industrializing economy.The island nation’s electricity demand was recently growing at almost 5 percent per year, but this is slowing to about 3.3 percent per annum to 2013. Nuclear power has been a significant part of the electricity supply for two decades and now provides 17 percent of the country’s overall energy needs.But this has come at a potential cost. The country’s three nuclear power plants (NPPs) comprise four General Electric boiling water reactors and two Westinghouse pressurized water reactors.Taiwan launched its nuclear power project in 1972 with the construction of a General Electric boiling water reactor (BWR) at the Chinshan 1 Nuclear Plant in northern Taiwan. By 1985 Taiwan had a total of six reactors online at the Chinshan, Kuosheng and Maanshan NPPs, which provided nearly 20 percent of the island's power that fueled Taiwan's economic take off. The NPPs are operated by the Taiwan Power Co. (Taipower) utility under the Ministry of Economic Affairs.In the wake of the 11 March Fukushima nuclear catastrophe in Japan, Professor Chan Chang-chuan of National Taiwan University's College of Public Health noted that Taiwan’s three existing nuclear plants and a fourth, the one now under construction, are located in earthquake-prone regions near the sea, which originally facilitated the transportation of nuclear fuel and construction materials but leaveS the sites facing the double hazards of earthquakes and tsunamis. Chan said, "Such locations expose our reactors to a double risk."

WHY NORTH KOREA WILL SOONER RATHER THAN LATER
PROVOKE A NEW CRISIS WITH THE US AND SOUTH KOREA
1. As a show of strength--to establish the Supreme Leader's street cred.
2. To make money. The impoverished, Stalinist North's oil-rich partner in proliferation, Islamist Iran, is prepared to pay Pyongyang for nuclear and missile tests (a) to advance Iran's technical knowledge, and (b) to divert international attention from Iran's nuclear/missile crimes. Iran is eager to distract and humiliate the United States in the eyes of the world ahead of Iran's coming conflict with the U.S. and Israel over Iran's nuclear program.
Foreign Confidential™ Political Word of the Day: Kimism
Kimism.
noun.
The principles and practices of North Korea's ruling elite, combining the brutality and dysfunctionality of an organized crime family with Stalinist Communism and a bizarre, multi-generaltional, dynastic personality cult built around the country's two deceased dictators, "Eternal President" Kim Il Sung and his son, "Dear Leader" Kim Jong Il, and the latter's Kim's son and current despot, "Great Successor" and "Supreme Leader" Kim Jong Un.

Libyan Stability Threatened by Militias
Nuclear N. Korea's Nixon-Era Lincolns
US, Israel Reportedly Debate Iran 'Red Lines'
When to attack nuclear-arming, missile-mad Iran? Read all about it here.
But how to attack?
That's the more important question.
Iran has vowed to bombard Israel with 150,000 missiles and attack Israeli (Jewish) interests around the world if Iran comes under attack by either the United States or Israel. The 150,000 figure may be an exaggeration; but there is no doubt that Iran, together with its Lebanese proxy, Hezbollah, has tens of thousands of missiles--enough missiles to "burn Tel Aviv," as Iran has repeatedly and publicly vowed--and sufficient Hezbollah/IRGC Quds Force killers to make good on the overseas terror threat.
And the embattled Syrian regime, which is supported by Iran, and which is bristling with both missiles and chemical warheads, has also vowed to destroy Tel Aviv from the air.
Therefore, any attack on the monstrous mullahocracy that does not wipe out its military might--really end the Iranian Islamist menace--is going to put Israeli civilians at risk to an unacceptable degree.
Put differently, Iran's nuclear program (as far as we know) is tomorrow's existential threat; but Iranian and Hezbollah missiles threaten Israel's existence today.
Israel alone does not have the conventional firepower to eradicate the Iranian nuclear/missile/terrorist threat. Only the U.S. can accomplish this--with wave after wave of aerial attacks, including the swift and merciless use of stealth bombers and cruise missiles.
Of course, it should not have come to this. But the pro-Islamist Obama administration appeased and actually attempted to align with Iran in a Grand Bargain aimed at pacifying Pakistan and Afghanistan. The disastrous policy, dubbed engagement (code for collaboration), allowed Iran time to advance its nuclear program so that it is now dangerously close to crossing the above-referenced "red lines." For national security reasons, then, i.e. because there is no obvious deterrent against an anonymous, indirect, deniable atomic attack by Iran on the U.S. homeland, and in order to make certain that Israel will not have to defensively draw on its presumed nuclear arsenal to prevent its population centers from being rubbled, the administration should … must … use whatever force may be necessary to annihilate the Iranian regime.
If not for Israel's presumed nuclear deterrent, in fact, Iran would already have tried to destroy the Jewish State.
An Implacable Enemy
Islamist Iran, which was involved in 9/11, is an implacable enemy of the United States. Khomeini's turbaned tyranny should never have been allowed to take power in the first place; but the Craven Carter administration sided with Khomeini and his Hitlerian Islamist forces and betrayed and abandoned Iran's staunchly pro-American Shah, a modernizing monarch, in one of the most perfidious episodes in the history of U.S. foreign policy.
After 9/11, the Bush administration should have obliterated the Iranian regime. Instead, Bush stupidly attacked Iraq, a secular, contained foe, in the most monumental U.S. strategic blunder since the unnecessary Vietnam war.
There is still time for Obama (of "the Muslim World") to redeem himself.
Appeasement has made war inevitable; but the conflict does not have to be fought on Iran's terms.
Will Obama do the right thing? Probably not. This reporter suspects the U.S. President is secretly counting on Israel to be badly hurt by retaliatory Iranian/Hezbollah/Syrian missile strikes in order to be able to link a decisive, 11th-hour, anti-Iran, U.S. intervention and/or escalation--to prevent Israel from going nuclear--to a commitment by Israel to withdraw to pre-June 1967 boundaries in order to achieve that with which he is most obsessed, creation of a "contiguous Palestinian state" consisting of the disputed West Bank territories, including the eastern part of Israel's capital, Jerusalem, and the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, with an Israel-slicing land corridor connecting the areas.

The Yemeni leader is no Shah. The Persian king was a loyal American ally and an enlightened and Western educated leader--a modernizing monarch who liberated women, protected minorities, preserved the peace, etc. But the craven Carter betrayed and abandoned the Shah in an attempt to jump aboard the Islamist bandwagon … just as Obama betrayed and abandoned Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak and is clearly bent on promoting an Islamist takeover of the Middle East, including Yemen.

Question: Why did the Clinton administration intervene in a civil war in order to create a Muslim state in the heart of Europe?
Answer: The Kosovo intervention was in line with America's cynical and stupid pro-Islamist policy (which blew back horrifically on 9/11). The United States has basically made the world safe for rightwing political Islam, not, as anti-Israel leftists would have you believe, by supporting the Jewish State against its genocidal enemies, but as part of an effort to exploit and manipulate political/organized Islam in order to contain and roll back the Iron Curtain and, then, following the crackup of the Soviet Union that was accelerated by the covert, Carter/Reagan-financed and Saudi-supported anti-Soviet war in Afghanistan--on the side of Islamist warlords and jihadist scum--to counter resurgent Russia and Rising China while also seeking to control the oil and gas resources of the Middle East and Central Asia.
Under Obama (of "the Muslim World"), the covert pro-Islamist policy, which dates to the Eisenhower administration's support for the Muslim Brotherhood and its international front groups, is overt. The sword of Islam is in sync with the "moral arc of history," according to America's first Muslim-born-and-reared President.

Syria Doesn't Have to Follow Libyan Script: Analysis
Although an armed, Islamist-led insurgency has overtaken civilian protests in Syria, there are still secular opposition figures of importance and influence in the country, and the regime would be wise to negotiate with them, according to this analysis.
Foreign Confidential™ memo to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad: If you want to save your skin, and save Syria and the Middle East from a horrible bloodbath, you should think outside the box, and beat Obama and the Muslim Brotherhood at their own game … by publicly offering (a) to create a coalition government committed to maintaing a secular Syrian system, and (b) to turn Syria into a politically neutral (truly nonaligned) state. Signaling a sincere willingness to end Syria's ultimately suicidal alliance with nuclear arming, Islamist Iran and its Islamist Lebanese proxy, Hezbollah, would open a portal to peace. Assuming Syria's Sunni Islamizing trend isn't unstoppable, there is no legitimate reason why Syria shouldn't strive to live in peace with all its neighbors--including Israel--and seek to transform itself into a Middle Eastern Switzerland with its security guaranteed by the United Nations.
Of course, you will have to share power, Mr. President, and perhaps, even, leave office altogether. But better to retire comfortably in Damascus--or in Switzerland, for that matter--than to end up like Hitler in a bunker, or Ghaddafi in a sewer pipe, or Saddam in a spider hole.
Think it over. You may feel strong with your missiles and stockpiles of chemical warheads. But you really have no idea of the forces arrayed against you. Radical shifts in strategy and rhetoric may be the best way forward. Who knows? In today's anything-is-possible world, you may even win a Nobel Peace Prize for steering Syria away from civil war, atomic armageddon … and Islamist hell.

US Issues Feeble Statement on Nigeria
The Obama White House, as reported here, has condemned "senseless violence"--"what initially appeared to be terrorist acts"--in Nigeria.
Actually, the violence--coordinated, Christmas Day bombings of innocent Christians by fanatic Muslims--is both both political and religious and in that sense not at all "senseless" as the massacres are meant to terrorize non-Muslims into accepting medieval Sharia as the law of the land.
Question: When will Barack Hussein Obama, who has made outreach to and support for organized/political Islam the foundation of an utterly failed foreign policy, use the most appropriate, strongest possible language to unequivocally condemn Islamic clerical fascism, barbaric, fundamentalist Islam, and barbaric Islamic law--in short, the scourge of civilized humanity?
Answer: Never.
Reason: Obama is pro-Islamist. Even Boko Haram, the bloodthirsty Muslim sect responsible for today's atrocities, is OK to engage (appease and align with) according to Obama. The only Sunni Islamist groups that are not OK to engage, as far as he and his henchpersons are concerned, are Al Qaeda and "irreconcilable Taliban" elements--at least, for the time being. At the rate things are going, if Obama is (God forbid) reelected, even they will eventually be considered acceptable engagement candidates.
The Nazi-like, nuclear-arming Shiite regime in Iran and its Shiite Lebanese proxy, Hezbollah, and Sunni Palestinian Islamist client, Hamas, were also regarded by Obama as OK to engage when he took power; but the atomic ayatollah, missile-mad mullahs, and their maniac-in-chief, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, rebuffed BHO. So the mullahocracy must now go.
So it goes on Christmas 2011, more than 10 years after the Afghanistan/Iran/Pakistan/Saudi-supported, Al Qaeda/Islamist slaughter of 3,000 Americans on American soil … the worst-ever attacks on the United States … to which Obama initially reacted, as recalled here, with a written appeal (a) to "understand" the root causes of the monstrous crimes ("poverty and ignorance") and (b) to defend Muslims and people of Middle Eastern descent against bigotry and non-existent persecution.
Considering BHO and Christmas 2012
That he was elected in the first place now seems … incredible. A mysterious, possibly dual-national, and thus Constitutionally ineligible, Muslim-born-and-reared politician (he was born a Muslim according to Islamic law and he practiced and studied Islam as child in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country, where his Indonesian Muslim stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, listed his adopted son's religion as Muslim and his citizenship as Indonesian on a never-disputed, elementary school registration certificate) with a shocking history of radical associations and friendships (e.g. Farrakhan and Ayers) and no administrative or executive experience of any kind, neither in politics nor in business.
Accent on mysterious. To this day, BHO's birthplace is questioned by many Americans (the long-awaited, long-form birth certificate that was finally released seems phony and no Hawaiian hospital claims him) and his academic records, from kindergarten through law school, remain inexplicably sealed, like some state secret.
His only foreign policy achievement--killing Bin Laden--is overshadowed by an odious outreach to what Obama insists on calling "the Muslim world," a supposed global entity that transcends all national, political, and ethnic boundaries.
In fact, killing Bin Laden and decimating Al Qaeda through drone attacks has given Obama political cover for promoting rightwing political and overlapping organized Islam overseas and at home. Under Obama, the United States is now squarely and openly on the side of Sunni political Islam--i.e. the Nazi/fascist-admiring Muslim Brotherhood, which spawned Al Qaeda, and Islamist-led Turkey--and, even if regime change in Shiite Islamist Iran is in the works, following the Obama-backed Islamist takeovers of Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt ahead of the coming, Obama-aided Islamist conquest of Syria, there is no reason to believe that Iran's Islamic Republic system will be dismantled if Obama has his way. The clerical fascist system will merely be reformed, replaced with a "moderate" Islamist version--yet another, oxymoronic Islamocracy. That is Obama's objective, for, like his fellow leftists--and the U.S. and European power elitists with whom they are ironically allied on the Islamist/Islamic issue--Obama clearly views Islam as the religion of the Third World masses, and political Islam as a fundamentally progressive and pliant creed, a useful tool, or sword, for organizing nations and entire regions in line with history's "moral arc."

The Iranian regime's reaffirmation of a death sentence for adultery is a political act--a Christmas Day message to the appeasers and weaklings of the international community that Iran, which was involved in the Islamist mega-attacks of 9/11, and is now, thanks to Obama, closer than ever to becoming a nuclear power, intends to follow what it sees as an Islamic path to victory over the West.

Russia's Global TV News Channel Backs Syrian Line on Bombings With In-Depth Interview Accusing US of Supporting Al Qaeda Terrorists to Overthrow Assad
Click below for an interview about sectarian violence in the Middle East--the return of suicide bombings--which is decidedly doctrinaire but definitely worth watching (e.g. in spite of the implicit defense of Iran). Reason: the analysis is basically correct. Iraq is a nightmare (though the interview subject conveniently ignores Iran's role in the violence). The NATO intervention in Libya was entirely unnecessary; protecting Libyan civilians, mere cover for installing an Al Qaeda-connected, Islamist regime. Syria is the next NATO target, with Libya as the model. Cataclysmic conflicts loom. "Permanent war" is an apt term.
All of which doesn't mean the Assad regime isn't capable of slaughtering its own citizens in a false flag operation. The regime is one of the world's worst despotisms. But there is no doubt that the foreign policy of the United States is now overtly pro-Islamist (in contrast with the covert pro-Islamist policy of the Cold War era), that with regard to Sunni Islamists, only Al Qaeda itself and "irreconcilable Taliban" elements are regarded as unacceptable for engagement (appeasement and collaboration), and that the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamist Turkey are being backed in order to counter Iran, Hezbollah and Syria (which the Obama administration attempted to engage).
In fact, in the wake of the U.S. departure from Iraq, many out-of-work, out-of-favor (with the Iraqi Shiite regime) U.S.-armed-and-trained, Sunni Islamist fighters and terrorists who fought against Al Qaeda in Iraq are now joining Al Qaeda in Iraq. Others are finding work with anti-Assad rebels in neighboring Syria. More than 10 years after the horrific blowback of 9/11, the beat goes on….
Permanent war, indeed.
N. Korean Elite Starting to Flee, Defect
RICH N. KOREANS ESCAPING, DIPLOMATS STATIONED
Next to its Islamist ally, Iran, Stalinist/Kimist/criminal North Korea is the most dangerous country on earth--a nuclear armed rogue that knows no boundaries. Foreign Confidential™ analysts believe a weakened and humiliated Kimist regime will provoke a new crisis with South Korea and the United States (and Japan, too, possibly) sooner rather than later. An attack of some sort on the South could occur at any time; nuclear and missile tests take more time to prepare, but are almost certainly in the works.
There is no diplomatic solution to the North Korea problem. Appeasement of North Korea by the so-called international community has created a monstrous threat.
Nor is there a diplomatic solution to the Iran problem--appeasement of Iran has made war with Iran inevitable. But that's another story.

The idea that Dear Leader's death will lead to a softer stance towards Washington is wishful thinking; the North will never abandon nuclear arms. At most, Pyongyang will play for time by playing the appeasers and Useful Idiots of the West like a violin--i.e. returning to never-ending nuclear negotiations with the real aim of extracting concessions and aid.
North Korea's intentions, like those of its partner in proliferation, Islamist Iran, are entirely evil. There is no diplomatic solution….

Understand, as President Obama likes to say, that what is happening in Islamizing Syria has nothing at all to do with promoting democracy or human rights. The United States, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia are backing an Islamist (Muslim Brotherhood) overthrow of the present secular dictatorship, which is supported by nuclear-arming Iran.
Israel is being dragged along--the price for U.S. support for long overdue military action to end the Iranian nuclear threat. Syria is the flashpoint--actually, the proxy war--for the coming conflict with Iran.
This is a very dangerous game that is being played out, to put matters mildly. If NATO opts for a no-fly buffer zone in Syria--ostensibly to protect civilians--and Iran, Hezbollah, and Syria make good on their threats to retaliate against Israel for foreign intervention in Syria, Israeli cities and towns will almost certainly be hit by massive missile attacks. The evil Axis has vowed to "burn Tel Aviv," and they have the missiles--and chemical warheads--to do this.
Israel cannot allow such a thing to happen. It will have to bomb the hell out of its enemies; and the U.S. will have to smash Iran--destroy its military might for years to come--in order to prevent Israel from drawing on its presumed nuclear arsenal.
NOTE: The possibility that the embattled Assad regime may have bombed its own buildings cannot be ruled out until more is known about today's attacks. The regime would like to generate sympathy and cast itself as a victim of Sunni Islamist terrorism (in spite of the regime's ties to Lebanese Shiite and Palestinian Sunni terrorist groups and their state sponsor, Shiite Islamist Iran).

Fanatic Islam in Action: Fatwa for Actress
US Military in Jihadist Bull's-Eye
By Clare M. Lopez
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King held the fourth of his series of Capitol Hill hearings on Islamic radicalization in early December 2011.
The 7 December hearing focused on military communities in the United States, which King described as the most sought-after target for Islamic terrorism. King's Homeland Security Committee report, "Homegrown Terrorism: The Threat to Military Communities Inside The United States," was issued the same day. It documents the startling surge in Islamic plots and strikes against military targets since 2009, which included the June 2009 attack at an Army recruiting office in Little Rock, Arkansas and the November 2009 attack by Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan at Ft. Hood, Texas.
More than 30 other threats and plots against U.S. military communities since 9/11 have put service members in the Islamic jihadist bull's-eye, not just at dangerous posts overseas, but "inside the wire," at home. Those communities are exceptionally vulnerable because of the Department of Defense's refusal to define or defend against the enemy threat doctrine of shariah Islam—a doctrine that makes jihad obligatory for all Muslims.
Penetrating U.S. Armed Forces
As King's hearings and the Committee report both point out, Islamic jihadis of unknown numbers are penetrating our defenses by enlisting in the U.S. Armed Forces. Many of them have been inspired by Anwar al-Awlaki, the U.S.-born al-Qa'eda operative who was killed in Yemen in September 2011. Although he is no longer writing for Inspire, al-Qa'eda's (now-defunct) slick English language online magazine, al-Awlaki's many sermons recorded on DVD and available at myriad jihadi websites continue to urge individual Muslims to put their faith into practice through individual jihad (or fard 'ayn).
Under Islamic law (shariah), Fard 'ayn is obligatory for all Muslims everywhere in the world whenever non-Muslim (infidel) soldiers are present on Muslim land. Ordinarily, in times when the Muslim world was governed by a Caliph at the head of a Caliphate (Islamic empire), shariah required that Caliph to lead a minimum of one offensive jihad foray per year against neighboring infidel lands. But since the abolition of the Ottoman Caliphate in 1924, the Islamic world has been without a Caliph or Caliphate to organize these obligatory raids. In this situation, and with American troops present in so many Muslim lands, Islamic law is clear: the usual collective responsibility (or fard kifayah) to conduct jihad (which relieves every single individual of the duty) devolves to the individual Muslim.
And that is the duty that Muslim authorities have been describing and urging on those faithful to shariah Islam, especially in recent years. Clearly, as news reports document, there has been an increase in cases of individual jihadist plots—including attempts in Times Square, at a Portland, Oregon Christmas celebration, and in the skies over Detroit, Michigan—that target American civilians, too. But jihadist infiltration of U.S. military ranks betrays a trust in an especially insidious way, both by penetrating the defensive bulwark that used to hold civilians safe from the barbarians outside the gate and also by destroying the code of camaraderie that binds the troops together. Now the enemy is "inside the wire" and threatening the homeland from within.
Case Study
Maj. Nidal Hasan, the Army psychiatrist who gunned down thirteen people at the Ft. Hood Army Readiness Processing Center on 5 November 2009, offers a good case study of a Muslim officer, who although American born and raised, still identified himself first and foremost as a Muslim, not as an American. Hasan was within weeks of a scheduled deployment to Afghanistan on that tragic day, a prospect that seems to have triggered his murderous rampage.
But this first-generation son of Palestinian immigrants from Jordan had given explicit warning of his jihadist identity years before he opened fire on his fellow troops while screaming "Allahu Akbar" at the top of his lungs. Even as he was promoted through the ranks of the Army's medical training program, Hasan not only received poor marks, but was trying to proselytize patients to his Muslim beliefs, handing out business cards marked with "SOA" (Soldier of Allah), and maintaining a long-term relationship with al-Awlaki, whom Hasan first met at the Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Falls Church, Virginia.
Even though both his Army military superiors and the FBI were aware of Hasan's jihadist behavior, no one in the chain of command would take the professional career risk of challenging him or demanding an explanation for his threatening behavior. Not even when, in 2007, Hasan delivered a Power Point presentation to his classmates entitled, The Koranic World View as it Relates to Muslims in the U.S. Military. Had anyone in that or subsequent Department of Defense (DoD) audiences understood the enemy's Islamic doctrine, as their Constitutional oath of service requires, alarm bells would have gone off right then and there. Hasan's presentation, in fact, gave a factually accurate explanation of the Islamic injunction against a Muslim killing fellow Muslims without right, the doctrine of abrogation, the imperative of submission in Islam, the rewards promised to jihadis (and especially those who commit suicide in order to kill infidels), and the definitions of "defensive" and "offensive" jihad. His final Recommendations slide was chillingly prescient: it read, "Department of Defense should allow Muslim soldiers the option of being released as "Conscientious objectors" to increase troop morale and decrease adverse events." [Emphasis added.]
Incredible Incompetence
Gen. George C. Casey, Army Chief of Staff, exemplified the incompetence that currently characterizes U.S. military and national security leadership with regard to the Islamic enemy when he dismissed Hasan's jihadist massacre as less important than "diversity" in the military, saying "Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that's worse." The August 2010 DoD report on the Ft. Hood shootings likewise plumbed new depths of cowardice when it refused to even mention Hasan's jihadist motivations and instead classified the attacks as, essentially, a kind of workplace violence.
The King hearings, by contrast, fearlessly took on Islamic jihadist penetration of the U.S. military and featured testimony from Daris Long, the father of slain Army Pvt. William Andrew Long, killed when Carlos Bledsoe (aka Abdulhakim Muhammad) opened fire outside a Little Rock, Arkansas recruiting office in June 2009. Long took the Obama administration to task for treating his son's murder as a "drive-by shooting" and the Ft. Hood killings as merely "work-place violence." At earlier appearances, Bledsoe's father also has spoken movingly about losing his son to Islamic jihad, describing how he turned his back on the family's cultural roots and traditional Baptist faith. He, too, blames official U.S. "political correctness" for failing to identify and root out those imams and mosques whose seditious preaching and jihadist literature lead young Americans astray right here at home.
Individual jihad is a Muslim duty. The only way that obligation can be lifted is if or when an Islamic Caliphate arises again to organize the ummah (Muslim community) in official raids against the infidel enemy. Given events sweeping the Middle East, the notion of a new Caliphate actually is not so far-fetched as U.S. national security or military leadership would portray. If Americans want to be warned of what's to come next from the international Islamic Awakening, it will be more instructive by far to listen to the acknowledged leaders of the jihad movement: the Rachid Ghannouchis, Mustafa Abdul-Jalils, and Yousef al-Qaradawis, than to most American national leadership at the moment (Rep. Peter King and like-minded congressional colleagues excepted). At least these jihadis speak candidly about shariah Islam, a new Caliphate, and their intent to see them both ultimately in force in the United States of America.
Clinton Comments Highlight Iran Nuclear Threat
Bill Clinton believes Islamist Iran is more likely to use nuclear weapons indirectly, through terrorist allies and proxies, than directly attack the United Stats or Israel. Click here for the story.
Clinton is mainly concerned about smuggled suitcase bombs--a real threat. But there is no known defense against an anonymous, sea-based, missile strike on a U.S. coastal city, an assault that could be launched from a seemingly civilian cargo ship flying a flag of convenience. Thousands of such vessels approach U.S. coastal waters daily. A nuclear missile so fired could also effectively end the United States through an EMP attack.
What is to be done?
The U.S. should make it clear to the world that an anonymous atomic attack of any kind--the detonation of any sort of nuclear device anywhere on or above U.S. soil--would result in the automatic obliteration of all suspects, meaning, all nations that support radical Islam. The list would have to include Saudi Arabia--home to Islam's holiest places--as well as Iran and Pakistan.
There is virtually no chance that the present, Islamist-appeasing-and-promoting U.S. President will ever adopt and articulate the above policy, one of enhanced deterrence, for the rapidly unfolding age of nuclear proliferation. Among Republican Presidential hopefuls, Gingrich, Bachmann, Santorum (and still theoretically in-the-running Trump and Palin) are the most likely to rise to the challenge. Ron Paul seems to think that every Islamist nation and organization has a right to possess nuclear weapons.

Time to Attack Iran: Opponents of military action against Iran assume a U.S. strike would be far more dangerous than simply letting Tehran build a bomb. Not so, argues this former Pentagon defense planner. With a carefully designed attack, he contends, Washington could mitigate the costs and spare the region and the world from an unacceptable threat.
