Islamism by any other name, should still be crushed.

They can run, but they can't hide.

That this has happened is simply expectable. I don't find this as other than "Well, duh."

Unravelling terrorist networks is quickly and straightforwardly done if correctly approached. The biggest problem we face is not enough good people who can function effectively amongst and within the al Qaida type social structures. Basically I am talking about people able to do police work. For historical examples of what I mean check out the postwar British operation in Malaya and the Thugee operation in 1800's India or the German operations during their colonial days in Africa.

Empire it is, may as well get on with it.

More targets, kill 'em all.

Yesterday, I heard "Yoni", a former Israeli soldier and currently a "personal protection"
professional do one of his regular appearances on The Hugh Hewitt Show.

Yoni said that Al-Quida and their operatives in Turkey made a very deadly mistake the other
day...because with their bombing in Turkey, the full force of the Turkish government, military
and intelligence apparatus will come down on Al-Quida's punks like a ton of bricks.

Not many folks know that over a century ago, during the waning days of the Ottoman Empire,
the Turks actually went to war with the Wahhabists, aftet the Turks realized
one of the main targets of the Wahhabis were any Muslim that wasn't a Wahhabi.

Al-Quida/Wahhabis may not field a conventional army, but they are now dangerously
close to getting the defense/intelligence apparti of the civilized world to
fully stoke their boilers and steam out to a battle that Al-Quida can't hope to win.
I just hope Al-Quida, even if it takes a decade, will join the practitioners of Thugee
in hell, as a minor footnote in history books, and decomposing on the ash-heap of history.

For lurkers/posters, the history of the Wahhabis, includding their bruising
by the Turks is detailed in a book titled "Hatred's Kingdom, by Dore Gold.
