Bombs and Dollars – American Foreign Policy Blog – China, Afghanistan, Pakistan

* Okay, the breaking news of today! Silvio Berlusconi, Italian play (boy)-grandad, and the Prime Minister too at times, was attacked by a mentally challenged man, who was filled with vengeance for reasons unknown, and apparently tried to sculpt a statuette of Milan’s famous Basilica in Berlo’s 73 year old face. The far-right in Italy said this is an act of terrorism. Berlo who suffered a broken nose, two broken teeth, and a cut lip, is presently having a gala time with the nurses where he is hospitalized…

Attack in pictures

Pravda is in doubt though…after their investigative journalism, which was convinced that this whole incident was badly photoshopped. Guess they don’t know about a thing called Mirror effect in a camera.

* Talking about Russia, here’s a couple of snippets.

I was searching through some Spiegel International, when I came across these interesting facts…which I present here for the readers of Bombs and Dollars…

1. Barack Hussein Obama is apparently not very popular in Germany. Spiegel already spat venom on several occasions before, but this one took the cherry…
This piece of literary gem, basically points out what we in Bombs and Dollars have already said probably a thousand times before…that Obama is now a political disaster, as he is unpopular to the right and center, and lost it’s credibility in the left…The Irony of times, as old wise men says…
‘Obama’s Speech Was an Admission of Failure’

OMG! Terrible, terrible day for Michael Moore! Barack Hussein Obama, sending 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan, in what is the final nail in the coffin of the “hopes” of anti-war protesters in U.S.

Obama speech – full text

Going against his anti-war messiah image, Obama is said to follow Saint George II’s footsteps by sending more troops, which is already drawing parallels to Vietnam from eager anti-war brigade…

Here are the “responses on the internet” regarding this momentous decision…

* 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.
A year later, the rubble remains in Mumbai

* And this is what Pakistan did…

Sometime old people are known for their wisdom. But mostly they are known for their capacity to bore people with genuine gold-standard cliched and old news analysis.

Such is the case of former French investigative magistrate Jean-Louis Bruguiere, (don’t ask me to repeat the name again) a man undoubtedly of immense intellect, but terribly grumpy and headmaster type.

He presently is busy blasting Pakistan, an “ally” (hahaha, what a joke!) in the war on terror. Continue reading

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.
