news of the long war

Thread 2



Since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, our nation has fought a global war against violent extremists who use terrorism as their weapon of choice, and who seek to destroy our free way of life. Our enemies seek weapons of mass destruction and, if they are successful, will likely attempt to use them in their conflict with free people everywhere. Currently, the struggle is centered in Iraq and Afghanistan, but we will need to be prepared and arranged to successfully defend our nation and its interests around the globe for years to come. DOD

Our enemies include all the Muslims who dream of knocking Western Civilization off its perch atop humanity’s dung heap. Islam is fractured into any number of sects, tribes and ethnic groups, but the dream of destroying us cuts across all the fault lines. Islamic terrorists are merely the tip of a very large spear.

J. Peter Mulhern, the American Thinker, September 18

The determination behind that fight is real, the hatred is real, and the excuses for doing this are very real in the minds of those who have decided to walk that path. We can respond in two ways: Try to ignore or negotiate with people who do not want to negotiate in good faith, because what they want is our destruction, or to stand up against the darkness of those who see all of us, our way of life, our culture and our aspirations as something worth eliminating.

Either: "And God willing, with the force of God behind it, we shall soon experience a world without the United States and Zionism," Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

Or: "With vigilance, determination, courage, we will defeat the enemies of freedom, and we will leave behind a more peaceful world for our children and our grandchildren." GW Bush.

Here's where I will post news and info about the Long War. Let me know if you're interested.

A federal appeals court on Tuesday upheld the US government's decision to freeze the assets of an Islamic charity with alleged links to a Sudanese group that supports terrorism.

The Treasury Department claims the Islamic American Relief Agency-USA is an affiliate of the Islamic African Relief Agency, a Sudan-based charity the US government accuses of financing al-Qaida and other terror organizations.

The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit agreed with a lower court's 2005 decision finding that the charity is a branch of the Sudanese-based agency.

The charity did not contest the terrorist designation of the Sudanese group, but claims the organizations have independent leaders and separate bank accounts. The group was founded by a Sudanese immigrant in 1985 to raise money for humanitarian activities around the world.

Sixteen security forces and 69 rebels have been killed over the past three days in ongoing clashes between the Yemeni army and followers of a Shiite rebel leader the northern part of the country, Yemeni military officials said Tuesday.

An army official said government forces have fired artillery bombardments over the areas where followers of Abdel-Malek al-Hawthi are believed to using as hideouts in Saada, about 112 miles (180.24 kilometers) north of the Yemeni capital, San'a. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

The official said along with the security forces and rebels killed, about 50 other militant rebels also have been arrested. A total of 80 rebels and 94 army and police officers have been killed in recent weeks.

The fighting comes as members of the Yemen Supreme Defense Council voiced concerns during a meeting on Tuesday, saying the Shiite rebels were receiving funds and assistance from outside countries, according to one of the council's members.
