Bill Roggio at “The Long War Journal” carries a comment linked from a Reuters article on how well the presumptuos Taliban love the soothing words from obambi regarding the closure of Guantanamo Bay:
The Taliban told U.S. President
Barack Obama on Tuesday that his plan to close Guantanamo Bay prison camp was a “positive step” but peace was only possible if he withdraws U.S. forces from Afghanistan and Iraq.
The Taliban, toppled in the 2001 U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan, also told the new president that sending more troops to Afghanistan “and the use of force against the independent peoples of the world, has lost its effectiveness.”
The Reuters article goes on quoting the Taliban spokesman:
“If Obama is right and, according to his words, wants to open a new page based on peaceful interaction built on mutual respect with the Islamic world, the first thing he has to do is to stop and annul all these procedures, which were created according to Bush’s criminal policy,” it said.
“He must completely withdraw all his forces from the two occupied Islamic countries (Afghanistan and Iraq), and to stop defending Israel against Islamic interests in the Middle East and the entire world,” the Taliban message said.
I just love it when the enemy (the Taliban has vowed to eliminate the West) agree with the ruling class of the most powerful nation of the West on who is the bad guy. And according to the Taliban - and the left - that would be us.Now obambi’s has given his very first interview - to Al Arabiya, one of the most anti-semetic, jihad supporting, militant Islam satellite networks where he said (among other idiocies):
“I think it is possible for us to see a Palestinian state — I’m not going to put a time frame on it — that is contiguous, that allows freedom of movement for its people, that allows for trade with other countries, that allows the creation of businesses and commerce so that people have a better life.”
Right. Is he really that naive? This interview said absolutely one thing to the Arab world and, more importantly, to the Islamic terrorists - the United States will henceforth deal with Muslims from an apologetic point of view. And we will now bargain and negotiate from a position of weakness.
That’s all the radical Islamic world saw.
Besides,the only thing Hamas and the Palestinians have “created” in 30 years is an efficient tunnel system for importing Iranian arms. Of course, we have helped with that by donating (in 2005 dollars alone) 348 trillion. I would think they could afford a rocket. Or two.
Time to sing some more “kumbaya”.

Just the kind of guys you want covering your ass and providing security:
The leader of the Taliban-controlled district of Swat in Pakistan’s northwest has ordered more than 50 political and tribal leaders to appear before a sharia court within a week or face “dangerous consequences.”
Mullah Fazlullah, Swat’s radical Taliban leader, issued the order in a broadcast over his illegal FM radio channel after convening the Taliban shura, or council.
Well, if I lived in Swat I’d certainly feel safer. I’m almost positive all those people will show up for a shot at a fair trial - or maybe just a shot.
Swat used to have a thriving tourist business. But Mr. Fazlullah has seen fit to, well, blow up the attractions. And dumb down the kids while he’s at it:
Fazlullah has successfully organized a campaign opposing polio vaccinations and has forced the closure of girls’ schools throughout the region. More than 200 schools have been destroyed in Swat since fighting began in 2007.
The fighting has destroyed Swat’s once thriving tourist industry. Fazlullah’s forces have burned down the popular ski lodge and bombed the lifts.
Just all sorts of positive news. I can’t wait to read a report on how well the Sharia justice system worked on these “trials”.
And that illegal FM radio channel wouldn’t be allowed in America without an FCC license.
Just sayin…

It was bound to happen. And the point that Robert Spencer has made is a good one.
From Reuters via Jihad Watch:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Pentagon said on Tuesday that 61 former detainees from its military prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, appear to have returned to terrorism since their release from custody.Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said 18 former detainees are confirmed as “returning to the fight” and 43 are suspected of having done in a report issued late in December by the Defense Intelligence Agency.
Spencer’s comment:
This shouldn’t surprise anyone, since nothing has been done over the years at Guantanamo to disabuse inmates of their beliefs about the responsibility of Muslims to wage war against and subjugate unbelievers. The prevailing PC “Islam Is A Religion of Peace” line prevents that — and makes for this recidivism. Indeed, the exaggerated respect that Guantanamo personnel have been directed to show towards the Qur’an — handling it with gloves, etc. — only reinforces the jihadist sentiments of the inmates, rather than win hearts and minds.
But none of this, of course, is any part of Obama’s calculation as he moves to close Gitmo. The prospect of major jihad terror attacks by former Gitmo inmates does not deter him, and even if one happens, he will most likely not regret what he is doing, because clearly in this his priority is not national security.
Does anyone believe obambi sees the security interests of the United States as an important issue?

One of the most notorious terror groups in Pakistan uses Pakistani law to cover its growth.
“Lashkar-e-Taiba” is the same group that was responsible for the Mumbai, India attacks. So to get around being “banned” by the Pakistani government, the terror group simply changes their name. The people stay the same but Pakistan refuses to act because they already “cracked down” on the old group. When the attacks occurred on Mumbai, the group was called “Jamaat-ud Dawa” since the “Lashkar-e-Taiba” group was supposedly illegal. Since Mumbai, the United States has branded the Mumbai group, Jamaat-ud Dawa, a terrorist organization.
Enter the chameleon - they are now called (don’t try to remember this) Tehreek-e-Tahafuz Qibla Awal. Don’t try to pronounce it either - you may hurt yourself. But they’ll be around a while - they just had a big rally in Lahore, Pakistan. Flew the same flag. And the big speaker was from Lashkar-e-Taiba - er, I mean “Jamaat-ud Dawa“. Or whatever. Bill Roggio is keeping up with them.
The next thing terrorists will learn is the word “metamorphisis”. This will allow us to call them names without listening to them require us to die.
Right. In your frickin dreams.
I’m sure glad Pakistan is stable and on our side. (Refer to previous sentence)

It’s just a terrible thing. All this deportation and messy “intolerance”.
In the small town of Nanuet, New York, they are holding a candlelight vigil reportedly to “end hate”.
It’s a nice story - attractive in value and non-argumentative in its scope. Hate is, in fact, a bad thing.
But buried (of course) in the story is a lightly glossed over triviality the vigil virgins don’t address:
Enforcement of immigration laws, particularly against immigrants who are repeat criminal offenders, has become an important issue in the Lower Hudson Valley following high-profile cases and municipal initiatives to deputize local police as federal immigration enforcement officers.
Well, damn. Imagine that. A community that doesn’t want crime from the very individuals the Nanuet Nannies want to “vigil” over.
“Ya’ll come back and talk when you have a point, now. Ya hear?”
Sheesh.
