Islamic Terrorism

This is our “Freedom Fighter” Enemy

Michael Moore Moron and other moonbats on the left think that the Taliban and Al Qaeda are like “minutemen” merely fighting for their freedom in Afghanistan and Iraq. This is an example of the freedom they seek:

FOXNews.com – U.S. & World – Taliban Beheads Teacher for Educating Girls

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — Officials on Wednesday blamed Taliban militants for beheading a teacher in a central Afghan town, the latest in a string of attacks against educators at schools where girls study.

Armed men decapitated Malim Abdul Habib in his home in the town of Qalat late Tuesday and forced his wife and children to watch, said Ali Khail, a provincial government spokesman. The assailant did not harm the other relatives, he said.

The attackers then fled and the wife called the police, Khail said. Police are questioning three people who were guests in the victim’s home at the time.

Habib was the headmaster of Shaikh Mathi Baba high school, which is attended by 1,300 boys and girls.

The insurgents claim that educating girls is against Islam and they even oppose government-funded boys’ schools because they teach subjects other than religion.

Zabul province’s education director Nabi Khushal blamed Taliban rebels.

“Only the Taliban are against girls being educated,” he said. “The Taliban often attack our teachers and beat them. But this is the first time one has been killed in this province.”

The militant assholes that did this will never stop. They not only want to impose their insane ideas in their land, but they want to kill you – all of us, and rule an Islamic world. If you have any doubt about that, then you are part of the problem. The only thing that can be done to curtail an infestation of global magnitude, is to exterminate it.

USS Ronald Reagan Shipping Out Today

Godspeed to the officers and crew of the USS Ronald Reagan as they deploy from San Diego today. The Navy’s newest aircraft carrier, USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), is scheduled to deploy today on a mission “in support of the War on Terror.” Greater than 5000 crew members aboard will participate in the mission.

The Reagan recently deployed on training exercise JTFEX 06-2 Dec. 7-15 off the coast of Southern California. The training was designed to be a realistic exercise in real-world operations and the operational challenges faced by U.S. forces in cooperation with coalition militaries.

The exercise was the final step in preparing the Ronald Reagan Strike Group for its upcoming deployment and will test the group’s ability to plan and execute alongside other U.S. and coalition forces in a complex, hostile warfighting environment.

Damsel and I wish the USS Ronald Reagan Strike Group a safe and successful mission.

The President Looks Back at 2005

The President discussed events of 2005 in his weekly radio address this morning:

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. 2005 has been a year of strong progress toward a freer, more peaceful world and a more prosperous America. This year we watched the Iraqi people defy the terrorists and suicide bombers and hold three successful elections, voting to choose the only constitutional, democratic government in the Arab world. We also saw the people of Afghanistan elect a democratic parliament in a nation that only a few years ago was ruled by the Taliban.

President Bush reviewed progress in the War on Terror, homeland security, the economy, and recovery from a year of natural disasters. He concluded with the following:

In 2005, America grew in prosperity, advanced the cause of freedom and peace, and enhanced our security. Our duties continue in the new year, and I’m confident that our nation will meet the challenges that lie ahead.

Thank you for listening, and happy New Year.

DOJ Opens NSA Surveillance Leak Probe

It seems to me that the person(s) who leaked information about secret NSA surveillance operations to the media should be charged with treason. Also, The New York Times and big media in general, should be held culpable as well. I believe that in a time of war, the administration has every right, and indeed the responsibility, to conduct this sort of covert surveillance. People who have nothing to hide should have no problem with this concept; only those who seek to protect criminal and enemy operatives seem to have a problem with the surveillance.

Justice Department Opens NSA Spy Leak Probe

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department has opened an investigation into the leak of information to the media about a domestic eavesdropping program run by the National Security Agency, senior Justice Department officials confirmed Friday.

Officials have confirmed to FOX News that the FBI is involved in the investigation, but did not comment on whether other agencies were involved, or when the investigation began. One official has said the referral for the probe came from the NSA.
