Here is General Allen several years ago, issuing an embarrassing and groveling apology to “the noble people of Afghanistan” for an alleged desecration of the Qur’an by U.S. troops: General Allen clearly had no idea how weak and pusillanimous his repeated apologies in this video made him appear to many, if not most, of “the […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: “Experts”: U.S. Will Never Beat Jihadis Unless They Give Them Money and Power
Failed analysts keep pushing failed policies. My latest in FrontPage: AFP reported Saturday that “experts” say “Western powers fighting Islamist groups around the globe are condemned to a never-ending battle if they only tackle the symptoms and not the underlying causes of jihadist insurgency.” That is true, but these establishment “experts” have no idea of […]

Obama Administration claim to have “taken out half” of Islamic State’s senior leadership is false
Never since the invention of the airplane has any territory been conquered solely from the air. Kerry and Allen have a vested interest in making the U.S. airstrikes look good, but in reality they’re just a cosmetic exercise to make it look as if the U.S. is doing something about the Islamic State. “U.S. Exaggerates […]
