Conventional wisdom asserts that Iran’s nuclear facilities are so dispersed throughout the country and have such well-hardened defenses that it would be very difficult to take them out quickly. But a former senior CIA operative has told The Jerusalem Post that the United States could put a stop to Iran’s Manhattan Project in two days. link: 81 comments
Did we, and thus the opposition, really need to know this right now?
Well, it really doesn't say anything that isn't already known. We have had the capability for over a decade.
Think of it this way, it's another warning after W's speech today.
BTW, we also already have nuclear bunker busters in our arsenal...
Saddam Personally Ordered Chemical Attack On Kurds
The Scotsman reports on a key piece of evidence that ties Saddam Hussein directly to the disgusting genocide of Kurds in Halabja almost twenty years ago. Memos from his personal secretary to military leaders make clear that Saddam wanted to use chemical weapons on Kurdish positions in 1987: Comments (5) |

Harper Intervenes On Behalf Of Abdul Rahman
Newly-elected Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper continues to impress in his first few weeks on the job. Not only has he declared himself committed to Canada's participation in securing Afghanistan, but he also has shown that he doesn't fear using his leverage to press the Karzai government on fundamental human rights. Harper called Hamid Karzai today to express his "concerns" about Abdul Rahman, the Christian convert facing the death penalty for his abandonment of Islam (via Michelle Malkin): Comments (11)

The Dawning of a New Dark Age
On good advice from a learned colleague, I have been informed of a book titled "The Dawning of a New Dark Age:
A Collection of Essays on Islam" which looks like a must read for all infidels out there, informed, uninformed, or those who think they are informed of the threat posed by Islam. The following is an extract from the
Foreword editorial review:
The radical Islamic front is not finished testing the West’s resolve—round two coming up: Muslim scholars gather to defend Prophet after cartoon row.
Imam Siraj Wahajj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 WTC bombing, gave a speech about America’s need to restrict free speech at the University of Virginia yesterday, as part of the school’s “Muslim Awareness Week” festivities: Imam addresses Islam and the media.
"Well, here in the West there are several things that we call a pedophile, rapist, robber, and mass murderer. Some of them are even printable."
Jihad Watch recalls;
He [Wahaj] has lamented that "if only Muslims were clever politically, they could take over the United States and replace its constitutional government with a caliphate."
Alan Dershowitz is righteously pissed off about the Walt-Mearsheimer anti-Israel article published in the London Review of Books: ‘AIPAC study is ignorant propaganda’.
Dershowitz, who is now working on a paper which will refute the claims in the Walt-Mearsheimer article, argues that there is no original material in it and that “the challenge is to find a single idea in the piece that does not already appear in hate websites. There is no scholarship here whatsoever”.
The primary flaw in the Harvard "study" is that it is based on circular logic, thus:
a. Israel is bad.
b. Because Israel is bad, Arab states rightully hate Israel.
c. Since we need the cooperation of Arab states, we ought to do what they want.
d. What they want is for us to side with them against Israel.
e. If we don't side with them against Israel, then they will work against us, and damage our national interests.
f. Therefore, in order to promote our national interests, we should abandon Israel.
g. Those groups like AIPAC that want us to cooperate with and help Israel, are therefore working against our national interest.
h. The counter-argument that we should side with Israel for moral and strategic purposes are false, because:
i. Israel is bad.
Starting with the premise that Israel is bad, they come to the conclusion that Israel is bad. Along the way, their train of thinking entails us dhimmifying ourselves to the Arabs.

More Evidence Of Connections
ABC may not be covering Saddam Hussein's trial very well, but it has provided excellent coverage of the newly-released Iraqi Intelligence Service documents captured by coalition forces after the dictator's fall from power. Earlier today it added two more significant documents to those it had already translated, and the new material shows more evidence of Iraqi cooperation with al-Qaeda: The first document (CMPC-2003-001950) is a handwritten account, The second document (CMPC-2004-001117) is a typed account...This shines an entirely new light on the OFF scandal. Not only was the UN complicit in helping to support and sustain Saddam Hussein's grip on power, but it also enabled Saddam to buy enough intelligence from a permanent member of the UN Security Council ... the same one that now wants to block action against Iran.

Everyone who still doesn't think that this is World War IV, please raise your hands. Islam is inconsistent with democracy, morality, decency, civilization and any of the seven virtues.

"Never forget that the academic antisemites are first and formost true believers in Marxism, and support of Islamism is simply an alliance of convenience. Of course, as usual, the Jews get caught in the middle. My wish for those two "scholars" is that they are forever associated with David Duke."
Here’s today’s story of utter depravity: Insurgent doctor killed dozens of wounded soldiers.

Speaking of Breitbart, I heard him interviewed by Richard Miniter, sitting in for Michael Reagan. He was talking about this Hollyweird agent, Pat Dollard, who had an epiphany while having lunch with Steven Soderburgh, who was telling him about how he was making Syriana, so he could brainwash Americans about the ME and how everything is about oil. Dollard quit his six-figure job, got a camera crew together, and went to Iraq to shoot a documentary about our brave troops, currently titled Young Americans. He's been hit twice by IEDs (he's still got shrapnel in his legs), and he can't get anyone in Hollyweird interested in his documentary, because it's pro-military, pro-war, and pro-American.

Meanwhile, back at home, American Muslims are gaining a foothold in politics. As with every mainstream media report that cites CAIR, USA Today blandly refers to them as a group that “promotes Muslim political activity,” never mentioning CAIR’s radical Islamist agenda. | link: 82 comments
What is more worrisome for me is that there seems to be some percentage of the population tipping point after which Muslim demands start being very aggressively pursued. We've seen this in Britain, France, Holland, Germany, hell, even Trinidad and Tabago.

Deus ex Tel Aviv
Glenn Reynolds of InstaPundit writes in Friday's Guardian (UK) over the ill-advised view some hold that the international community need not be concerned with Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons because Israel will handle the situation. I've noticed a hope on the part of a lot of commentators for a sort of Deus ex Tel Aviv, with people reassuring themselves that the Israelis will strike, as they did at the Iraqi Osirak facility in 1981....I do a regular series of podcasts and our most recent episode featured an interview with Daniel Ayalon, Israel's ambassador to the United States. He made it quite clear that Israel regards the Iranian nuclear programme as the world's problem, not Israel's problem, and that the world shouldn't look to Israel to solve the world's problems...Regardless, however, I don't think that the world can look to Israel to pull its chestnuts out of the fire. And, I have to say, I don't blame the Israelis for taking that attitude.
Strategy Page has an excellent overview of the often overlooked chemical and biological weapons program underway in Iran. The seriousness of these programs is undeniable. "These are weapons of mass destruction – and American policy is very clear: If attacked by chemical or biological weapons, the United States will respond with nuclear weapons."
SP reports that "American intelligence agencies estimate that Iran is producing 1,000 tons of chemical weapons a year, including mustard gas, phosgene, and various cyanide agents." Intelligence also suggests that "Iran is working on smallpox" and "two types of biotoxins: mycotoxins and ricin."
Iranian IEDs have been found throughout Iraq, their desire to obtain WMD is undisputed, their president is a danger to regional and world security, and as both we and SP note, is a sponsor of terrorist groups, including Hezbollah, Hamas, PFLC-GC, and Islamic Jihad.

The Atlas Interview: Phyllis Chesler, "Daring Lover of the Truth"
Ex-left wing goddess, one time Muslim bride, anti-cultural relativist, and as Bat Ye'or called her "daring lover of the truth". I was unfamiliar with Phyllis Chesler until I heard her speak at The The Middle East & Academic Integrity on the American Campus Conference At Columbia University over a year ago. Her remarks blew me away and the more she revealed the louder she was heckled by Pro-Palestinian inciters in the room. Inciters, thugs - these fools had their phones play loud music, their walkie talkies go off , but Chesler never flinched, stumbled or faltered. She gave it right back and made sure her story was told. I subsequently have written about her numerous times and strongly recommend you review her extensive body of work...in The Death of Feminism : What's Next in the Struggle for Women's Freedom, the level of anti-American and anti-Israeli propaganda and intolerance towards all those who do not kow-tow to it is fairly monumental on many feminist list-serv groups...
I was literally "purged," Stalinist-style from one such group for my various pro-America and pro-Israel "Thought Crimes." It was a most instructive experience.

It runs a little under an hour, first half focuses on Chesler's background and history (not to be missed), second half addresses how the left destroys this nation, destroyed academia, and enables the Islamofascists to commit the worst acts of barbarism against women (and the West).

Regular readers here in New Atlas City, know how I have been all over the Saudis buying off the rotting intelligensia at our universities for some time now. The Dubai port deal never bothered me. The UAE moving boxes around in leased space, which is essentially what it was , was no big deal.
The Saudis paying off Georgetown, Harvard et all with 20 million, now that was a big deal. We have seen the ill effects Saudi money on the campus and curriculum at Columbia to know this is an important front on the global war on Islamofascism.
