TENET DOWN, POWELL TO GO

Here’s my initial take on CIA Director George Tenet’s resignation today (June 3). I think this is very good news. It shows that the Pentagon, Rumsfeld in particular, is fighting back. Remember – as was discussed last week in The Real Problem in Iraq – the real war in Iraq is between the State Department and the CIA on one side (that of the UN and Arab rulers like the Saudi Royal Family) and the Pentagon on the other (America and freedom-democracy for Arabs and Iraqis).

The focus of the war is now over the Oil-For-Food scandal, with State-CIA trying (more…)

DON’T EXPECT ARAB APOLOGIES

In Moslem culture, during the Daheyah (Sacrifice) feast, Moslems bring a lamb into the home for a ritual slaughter accompanied by the invocation Allahu Akbar, “God is great,” in the presence of the family and the children. Now we see the Daheyah of radical Islam to be Jews such as Nick Berg and Daniel Pearl, who were beheaded with no mercy, accompanied by the same pious invocation. This is a perversion of Islam, but don’t expect an apology.

To expect the Arab and Moslem leadership to apologize for the barbaric murder of Nick Berg is a reflection of the West’s (more…)

A EUROWEENIE STRIKES BACK!

This is the funniest email I have received in years. I thought about putting it in the Humor File because you’ll collapse laughing so hard when you read it. But it’s not a gag – the guy is serious! He’s from Switzerland – a place we all thought had some respect for freedom and dissent. This email displays just how far Europe has sunk into Terminal Weeniedom. It is also a cold shower reminder that the totalitarian ideologies of Communism, Fascism, and Naziism originated in Europe – and how Europeans are once again trashing their own freedoms. This letter is (more…)

WHY KERRY’S ELECTION IS POSSIBLE

All along I’ve said that no matter how bad or inadequate Bush is, Kerry is so palpably unqualified to be president that there was no realistic chance of his being elected.

How bad is Kerry? Let us count (some of) the ways.

He is an absurdly arrogant man who continually and blatantly contradicts himself and is utterly unable to account for the contradictions — whose typical response to legitimate criticism from political opponents is to say, “I won’t stand for it” — who made the amazing boast that foreign leaders supported his presidential candidacy, and then, when asked by a (more…)

SONIA GHANDI’S MASTERSTROKE

India’s stock market collapsed this week in a panic free fall after the return of the Congress Party in last week’s elections. The investor freak-out increased when it seemed that Congress would have to include India’s Communist Party of Marxism-Leninism in its ruling coalition.

Then came Sonia Gandhi’s masterstroke.

The party thrown out of power, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was a Hindu nationalist outfit with a penchant for jingoistic appeals to Hindu fanaticism. When the widow of Prime Minister Rajiv Ghandi (assassinated in 1991, son of Indira Ghandi, herself assassinated in 1984), Sonia Ghandi became Congress Party leader, she (more…)

MOSQUE CLEANING

One problem our troops in Iraq have is the guerrillas using mosques as weapons store rooms and armed sanctuaries from which they can attack us with impunity. This is a favorite tactic of Muqtada al-Sadr and his “Mahdi” rebels, who have shamed and insulted the world’s Shia community by turning its most sacred shrine, the golden-domed Imam Ali Mosque into an armory.

The fat little bearded thug thinks he is safe in the mosque, for were we to storm the mosque risking its destruction, it could cause the Shia uprising he dreams of. What he doesn’t know is that we (more…)

POLITICAL NASDAQ

This is a fascinating thesis: That the Nasdaq market movers are radical liberals whose George Soros-like hatred for Bush is influencing the movement of Nasdaq stocks. I don’t know if this is the case, but you simply must read it. Starting next week, Ms. D’Anconia will be submitting a weekly report, exclusive to To The Point, indicating the direction she perceives Nasdaq to be moving. — Jack Wheeler.

I make measurements which indicate the direction the market is moving in the Nasdaq. The data I use are very sensitive indicators of the underlying financial mood of the Nasdaq movers and (more…)
