* Remember our good ol’ England? The country of James Bond? Now it’ll be known as the country of London mayor Boris Johnson’s deputy, the suave Ian Clement…who slept with a Chinese spy in a sleazy cheap Beijing room…only difference with Bond is, this guy got drugged and duped badly…

* On the other hand, after Nuclear reactors and Missile, Iran is building up it’s navy, in clear provocation…(seriously they want nukes? Let’s drop ‘em some nukes…)

Mohammad El-Baradei leaves in disgrace

(Yes, that guy won the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize–for his great efforts in halting Iran’s nuclear program, apparently. Shows how worthless the Peace Prize is. Obama practically earned it, considering what El-Baradei accomplished.)

And for those cynics who keep on questioning any kind of Israeli military operations…necessary or otherwise…
Hamas on a new Islamist drive…

* Exactly a year since 11/26, Mumbai. Nothing changed, basically. Same skulduggery by Pakistan, same confusion of U.S.A. and U.K., and same dithering on the part of the Govt. of India. Meanwhile it costs a bloody Rs. 31 Crore ($6,700,000) to keep the terrorist Ajmal Amir Kasab alive and secured for trial… in the last year! And you thought the recession was because of economy!
It costs Rs. 31 crore to keep a terrorist alive!

* Talking about Mumbai, here’s a view from one of the most influential Israeli dailies. Israel, by the way, had the highest number of casualties in the terror attack after India, followed by U.S.A. and Britain, when a Jewish Chabad house was specifically targetted by the gunmen.

Top Suspect: MILFs

Hundreds of gunmen hijacked and killed at least 21 people from a convoy, while they were on their way for a political rally, in the Philippines, for reasons known to solely to them (or to those who read their book).

It happened in a region which is troubled by Muslim insurgency for quite sometime, and it’s anybody’s guess as to who are the perpetrators of the crime.

10 journalists, who were part of the convoy is also suspected to be killed after their organizations failed to contact them, in probably the single deadliest day for journalists dying as a result of political violence in history.

The gunman who opened fire at Fort Hood, killing 12 and injuring 31, is just the latest example of Jihad in America that Americans are all too quick to ignore.

The gunman was Muslim, and he did shout “Allahu Akbar” before opening fire, but ABC correspondent Martha Raddatz just “wish[es] his name was Smith.”

But his name isn’t Smith, and that’s the problem. His name was Malik Nadal Hasan, and it’s not the first example of violence fueled by a certain religion. (Just read the Baghdad Daily for more examples.)

The fact is that radical Islamic terrorism is a big threat, and for the US to continue denying it, as if no violence has ever been carried out because of some interpretations of the Muslim religion, is a deadly problem.
