How to Resolve Iran Nuke Problem

Don't worry, we'll take care of Iran nukes: Israel

Radio talker Michael Savage on his SAVAGE NATION program reported on Israeli willingness to take out Iran's nukes if the US fails to get the Eurabian - UN axis to do anything more than a bit of jawboning.

After hearing this, the Chief has been looking for some sort of reportage on this topic but without success until this coverage from the India Express website popped up linked on World Net Daily. The story is datelined out of Washington, so one might note the US MSM looking the other way again.

It's not as though the prospects of a preemptive strike on Iranian nuclear facilities wouldn't be significant. One has to wonder why the lack of coverage on this one.

As far as the actual issue is concerned, the Chief sees chances for some real action out of the Euroweenies or the UN as being slim to none. If Israel is willing to do the heavy lifting on this one, the US would be well advised to give them a wink and a nod, and stay out of the way.

Harriet Miers

OU Football Bomber Questions

Why Aren't We Being Told More Facts About the OKlahoma Suicide Bomber?
What are the FBI and Joint Terrorism Task Force Investigating?

A very interesting post. When the Chief first heard about this one, he had a real question about the first released version of events. Even the sparse circumstances reported at the tiem seemed to suggest more than was admitted to.

Read the details here, and like me, you'll have even more questions. The final bit of icing on the cake:

Finally, if Hinrichs was just a disturbed guy who decided to kill himself with a bomb 100 yards from a crowd of 84,000 people instead of simply putting a bullet through his temple, slashing his wrists or some other traditional way of doing away with himself, why is the FBI and the Joint Terrorism Task Force now the lead agency in the investigation?

Read the whole post - terrorism sure looks likely. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then chances are, it IS a duck!

Here's another report, that the bomber was inquiring about getting a bunch of ammonium nitrate - the main ingredient in an ANFO (ammonium nitrate-fuel oil) bomb. (Remember the Murrah building?) Curiouser and curiouser!

No Tim

Tim Blair wasn't on Hoist the Black Flag today, which is understandable when you think about the 14-hour time difference. Ace is talking about a taped interview in the future, and that would be nice....
PC Strikes at English Symbol

Prison bans Cross of St George tiepins

The same sort of PC mentality that feels threatened by the American flag and the pledge of allegiance is alive and well in the UK, striking at the flag that is the symbol of England. (Remember the UK is the UNITED Kingdom which includes England, Wales, Scotland, and No. Ireland along with the various islands such as Manx, Guernsey, Jersey, etc.)

Someone has decided that wearing pins with the Cross of St. George, which has been an identifying symbol of England dating back to the time of Richard I ("The Lion-hearted) is racist and potentially offensive!

Cross of St. George.gif

Of course, said Richard I was also a noted Crusader...ooops! One must suppose some of the Queen's Islamic (semi)subjects have their noses out of joint.

If the Chief were resident in England, he would proudly the flag of St. George and fly it proudly. Given the pressure from modern Islamofascism, perhaps some of the Crudading spirit is not inappropriate, as is noted elsewhere on this blog. Onward Christian Soldiers: Deus Vult!
