Post T-day briefs

Faster on that Leviathan field, please: Jihadis blew up the Sinai gas line again. (By the way, morons, you also deprive Jordan of gas and Egypt of desperately-needed money.) And they’re apparently massing to fight their fellows for a change, … Continue reading

Late Thursday briefs

It’s been a busy day. Tomorrow, too. The toothless UN strikes again: Thanks to China and Russia, Iran’s nuclear program continues unabated. Well, except for the guys who keep getting assassinated and blown up, and Stuxnet and Duqu (does anyone … Continue reading

Friday morning briefs

Baby Assad is shaking in his booties: Sic semper tyrannis, dude. The fall of Kadaffy is energizing the Syrian opposition. (Really, do all the news services have to run that gross picture of dead/dying Kadaffy? Yes, he deserved it, but—ew.) … Continue reading

Wednesday post-Shalit deal briefs

Say, mainstream media editors, writers, and idiots: It’s not a “prisoner swap.” It’s a ransoming of a hostage. Gilad Shalit was kidnapped and taken hostage five years ago. The Palestinians who were released all broke the law and were prisoners. … Continue reading

Erev Yom Kippur briefs

No good deed goes unpunished: So when the rebels take over Syria, you think they’re going to remember that China and Russia voted against them in the UN Security Council sanctions issue? Oh, sure, they’re griping now. But the jury’s … Continue reading

Yet another Palestinian terror attack: Yeah, the Palestinians want peace. But they spell it “piece,” and they mean “pieces of Israelis.” This bastard deliberately tried to murder children. What stopped him from killing? The border police checkpoint set up for … Continue reading

Briefly Friday briefs

It looks like the world is finally getting its news priorities straight. Syria tops the news today, not Israel’s response to the terror attacks in Gaza. But of course, it’s still out of proportion. Sure, let’s talk to terrorists. They … Continue reading

Missing the point on Syria

There’s one simple question one must ask in response to the UN discussing whether or not Bashar al-Assad has committed war crimes against the Syrians. Where is the Goldstone Commission on Syria? Hypocrites, much?

Tuesday sniefs

(Sniefs=Snark Briefs) So, I’m expecting a condemnation on this any day now: Another missile lands in Israel, another yawn from the world. But hey, the Obama Administration is totally condemning construction in Ariel. It’s an obstacle to peace, you see. … Continue reading
