The bomb plot at Times Square continues to be unraveled. The Pakistani Taliban, which claimed credit, was not bluffing. So far the clues point to them as a Pakistani national named Faisal Shahzad was arrested while trying to the flee the country. This was the man seen in the video that many Leftists hoped was a white American. Well to the Left and some Conservatives’ disappointment and no surprise to those of us who under the totalitarian nature of Islam, it was another act of aggression from the “religion of peace”. Obama’s outreach to the Muslim world has failed and this is just another example.
DUBAI—Dubai-based Emirates Airline said Tuesday that flight EK202 bound for Dubai was called back before taking off from New York and that three passengers were removed from the aircraft as part of an investigation into a failed bomb attempt in Times Square.
“Full security procedures were activated including the deplaning of all passengers and a thorough screening of the aircraft, passengers, and baggage,” an Emirates spokesperson told Zawya Dow Jones. “Emirates is cooperating with the local authorities.”U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said earlier Tuesday that a suspect in the attempted Times Square bomb attempt in New York was arrested trying to board a plane for Dubai. U.S. officials identified the man as Faisal Shahzad, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Pakistan. Mr. Shahzad was detained at 11:45 p.m. Monday night at John F. Kennedy Airport as he was preparing to fly.

This shouldn’t surprise anyone. What was shocking how many people were trying to deny it was Islamic aggression. As always, the Islamic Imperialists prove those of us who warn about this Ideology correct.

The Taliban admit they are cowards:
Taliban leader: We won’t fight GIs ‘face-to-face’
Militants plan to wait out looming offensive disguised as civilians
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan – Taliban fighters plan to disguise themselves as civilians during a looming NATO offensive in southern Afghanistan, a militant commander told NBC News.
Minivans piled high with mattresses and clothing lined up at checkpoints Sunday as hundreds of civilians fled a Taliban-controlled area in Helmand province.
The U.S. military has not given a start date for the operation to clear insurgents from the town of Marjah, the biggest community in the south under insurgent control. But the military has said fighting will start soon and many residents weren’t taking any chances.
The militants, meanwhile, dug in for a fight, reinforcing their positions with rocket-propelled grenades and heavy weapons, according to witnesses.
‘We will shake their hands’
But a Taliban commander told NBC News’ Richard Engel that many insurgents would wait out the offensive.
“What, they will walk down empty streets?” the militant leader asked. “They (U.S. and coalition troops) will come in and announce that they have conquered the area. We will let them come in. They are welcome.
“They will ask, ‘Are there any Taliban in the area?’ We will say, ‘Yes, but they have left’,” the Taliban leader added.
“We will not fight them face-to-face,” he said. “We will shake their hands, as civilians. Then they will leave.”
Lovely, isn’t it. And Obama will declare victory and pull out, just as they are telling him they want him to. this isn’t war. This is kabuki theater. I hope I am wrong, but obama’s performance to date gives me little reason to.

Gen. David McKiernan, commander of NATO forces in Afghanistan has been asked by Defense Secretary Robert Gates to resign. This was done because of the deteriorating situation there. By doing this, it is now Obama’s war, since they are calling for a new strategy.
It’s Obama’s War Now
Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced this afternoon that he has “asked for the resignation” of Gen. David McKiernan, commander of NATO forces in Afghanistan, and that he plans to replace him with Gen. Stanley McChrystal.
This is a very big deal.
McKiernan’s ouster signals a dramatic shift in U.S. strategy for the war in Afghanistan. And it means that the war is now, unequivocally, “Obama’s war.” The president has decided to set a new course, not merely to muddle through the next six months or so.
Afghanistan now belongs to Obama. He can no longer blame Bush for what is going on there. It will be his plans that succeed or fail.

This is a great article and it makes the obvious. Pakistan’s army still views India as the main enemy, not the Taliban. The Taliban is taking advantage of this.
Besieged by the Taliban, but thinking only of India
Today, Pakistan’s President drops in on America’s. There will be forced smiles and fine gifts, but stern words must also be exchanged.
Pakistan’s Asif Ali Zardari seems more interested in demonizing India than in defeating the Taliban. Barack Obama can’t afford to humour such misplaced priorities. How difficult will it be for him to extract serious change out of his Pakistani peer, fair-weather ally and duly elected, deeply compromised pain in the neck? I got a taste of the odds stacked against meaningful change myself when I confronted Pakistan’s former president, Pervez Musharraf, at a recent gathering.
Pakistan is a lost cause and I don’t want anymore of our tax dollars going there. Let India deal with them.

Pakistan is collapsing, there is no way to sugar coat this. The problem with Pakistan’s collapse is it nukes. Who controls it? Will Al-Qaeda/Taliban get their hands on it? These are concerns worrying the US.
Pakistan Strife Raises U.S. Doubts on Nuclear Arms
WASHINGTON — As the insurgency of the Taliban and Al Qaeda spreads in Pakistan, senior American officials say they are increasingly concerned about new vulnerabilities for Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal, including the potential for militants to snatch a weapon in transport or to insert sympathizers into laboratories or fuel-production facilities.
This is a dangerous situation and needs watching. We need to cooperate with India and China on the possibility of a Taliban takeover of Pakistan. This concerns everyone in the region and the world. The problem is that the Pakistan Army doesn’t have the will to fight the Taliban, so this is dangerous indeed.

With the Taliban controlling part of Pakistan, they clearly are in a civil war status. Ralph Peters describes the reason why Pakistan’s Army can’t defeat the Taliban. The fact is many officers come form the areas the Taliban control and will not fight their relatives.
THE PAK CIVIL WAR
OUR diplomats and generals can’t understand why Pakistan’s million- man military avoids confronting the Taliban as the extremists tear into the country’s flesh.
Admiral Michael Mullen, our chairman of the Joint Chiefs and a superb officer, spends almost as much time in Islamabad as in Washington. And his Pakistani hosts make endless promises. But nothing much happens as the Taliban and their allies gobble territory. This week’s “offensive” to retake Buner province — almost within shouting distance of Pakistan’s capital — is a relatively small-scale operation.
Even Richard Holbrooke, our junkyard dog among diplomats, can’t get the Pakistanis off the dime. Our best and brightest shake their heads: Don’t the Pakistanis want to save their country?
Pakistan is a lost cause. We need to strengthen our ties with India. Why we give Pakistan money, is beyond me. It is useless and I say let Pakistan help themselves. As fro Al-Qaeda/Taliban getting Nukes, hey Iran will soon have them. Seriously, Pakistan is a disaster and I am tired of my tax money going to these scumbags.

Our “ally” Pakistan is increasingly giving into the Taliban. The Pakistani government has given control of territory just 80 Miles from Islamabad to them.
Pakistan’s extremist triumph
Writing From Lahore, Pakistan — Maulana Sufi Mohammed, a radical cleric who was freed last year after spending six years in jail for leading 10,000 Pashtun tribesmen in opposition to the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, has begun a new campaign. He is leading a peace march through the strategic Swat Valley in an attempt to persuade his son-in-law, Maulana Qazi Fazlullah, to accept the government’s offer of a cease-fire and enforcement of an Islamic system of justice in the valley.
The fact that Mohammed has embraced the government’s offer is a sign of how fully Islamabad has capitulated to the demands of extremists in the region. And the fact that the peace deal has not yet been accepted by Fazlullah, who leads the Swati contingent of the Pakistani Taliban and is closely allied with Al Qaeda, is a sign of how radicalized some of the region has become.
Why do we ally with nations like Pakistan? Instead Obama is giving India the cold shoulder. Why do we continue to slice our own throats?

Taliban ban ‘un-Islamic’ female education in Pakistan region
12:00 AM CST on Sunday, January 18, 2009
Taliban militants have banned female education in the northwest Pakistan valley of Swat, depriving more than 40,000 girls of schooling, officials said on Saturday.
“My daughters are sitting at home,” said Mohammad Ayub, father of two girls whose school was blown up by militants in October. “Their future looks bleak because they will stay uneducated.”
There has been fighting in the valley for more than a year, but residents say the military is losing control to militants who aim to impose a severe form of Islamic law.
Shouldn’t muslims rise up against this “severe form of islamic law”? Where are the protests about how badly these muslims are being OPPRESSED?

The Taliban claimed responsibility in the killing of 40 people, most being children. Students may have inadvertently helped the bomber:
Last Sunday a suicide bomber drove up to the village school, which was being used as a polling station for a local by-election, and blew himself up.
Rokhan Gul, a pupil at the school, witnessed the attack. “I saw the bomber just before the blast,” he said.
“While taking a sharp curve at the corner of the street his car slipped into a culvert and all of us helped push him out of the hole. Just 10 minutes later I heard a huge explosion and I immediately knew he was the bomber.”
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the killing. The following day Shah Durran, a Taliban commander in the neighbouring district of Swat, announced on his banned radio station: “We will even kill your children.” (Source: TimesOnline)
Sadly, what so many Westerners fail to realize is that the Taliban are true adherents to Islam. Any Muslim less is ignorant, a liar, or an Apostate. If there were truly any “moderate” Muslims, don’t you think they’d be outraged by this? Don’t you think the intentional killing of children would be condemned?
I guess all those “moderate” Muslims are too busy protesting Israel.

While the world directs all their condemnation on Israel for killing terrorists, other Islamic terrorists slaughter children…
And not a word of condemnation from the Arab world for this atrocity.
Once again the savages of Islam get another pass for killing innocents.
The Gateway Pundit has more, including a video of the bombing.

A gigantic truck bomb has destroyed the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad, Pakistan, killing at least 40 people including one member of the US military.
A massive truck bomb destroyed much of Islamabad’s most popular hotel this evening, killing at least 40 people, wounding at least 100 and leaving a crater more than 25 feet deep. Officials feared the death toll would increase by dozens as rescue teams continue work at the scene.
At approximately 8 p.m. local time, an apparent suicide bomber blew himself up as his vehicle was being checked at the security gate of the luxury Marriott Hotel. The bomb was felt as far as 15 miles away. Within 500 feet of the blast, buildings and trees were shredded by the bomb, which was believed to be the biggest in Islamabad’s history.
In the minutes after the blast, dozens of dead bodies littered what used to be the lobby of the hotel. Between the entrance and the security checkpoint, about 50 feet away, there were mounds of rubble under which more dead are feared to be buried.
At least one member of the U.S. miltary was missing at the scene of the blast and presumed dead. Other U.S. military members eating at the hotel’s restaurant sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

Suicide bombers struck at a weapons complex in Pakistan that some think may be engaged in nuclear weapons development: Suicide bombing at Pakistan arms complex kills 59.
WAH, Pakistan – Twin Taliban suicide bombings at Pakistan’s largest weapons complex killed at least 59 people Thursday, heightening the turmoil following Pervez Musharraf’s ouster as president.
The bombers struck two different gates of the government weapons complex just as workers were leaving. The complex, comprising 12 factories, is located in Wah, a garrison city 20 miles west of the capital, Islamabad.
Army spokesman Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas said the perimeter is guarded by a dedicated paramilitary force. Experts have suggested that facilities related to Pakistan’s secretive nuclear weapons program are located in the Wah area, possibly including a uranium enrichment plant. Abbas insisted the complex attacked on Thursday was producing only conventional weapons.
And just to make things even more interesting, the Islamist ruling coalition that drove Pervez Musharraf out of power is now collapsing.
The ruling coalition, made up of traditional rivals who were united primarily in their determination to force Musharraf from office, meanwhile appeared to be veering toward collapse. The two main parties have been unable to bridge key differences such as whether judges fired by Musharraf should be quickly reinstated and who should succeed him as president.
Pakistanis have urged the civilian government to stop bickering and turn quickly to tackling the country’s problems from an economic downturn to extremist violence in the volatile northwest, where fighting between security forces and Islamic militants has escalated in recent weeks.

Following the resignation of Pervez Musharraf in Pakistan, Taliban terrorists launched coordinated attacks with multiple suicide bombers on US and French forces: Taliban Forces Kill 10 French Soldiers and Raid U.S. Base.
KABUL, Afghanistan — Taliban insurgents mounted their most serious attacks in six years of fighting, one a complex attack with multiple suicide bombers on an American military base on Monday night, and another by some 100 insurgents on French forces in a district east of the capital, killing 10 French soldiers and wounding 21 others, military officials said Tuesday.
Three American soldiers were wounded and six members of the Afghan special forces in the attack on the base in the eastern province of Khost, bordering Pakistan, the Afghan military spokesman, Gen. Zaher Azimi, said. The battle lasted all night, 10 suicide bombers were killed or blew themselves up, and the insurgents were repulsed without entering the base, he said.
