Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Didn't ya just know it?

Libyan rebel commander admits his fighters have al-Qaeda links.


What if it turns out, like in Egypt (and in Afghanistan in the past), that the US and Euroland are naively laying out a red carpet for the Jihadists? Then what?


Steyn: Do-gooders in a land with no good guys:



Granted that the region's squalid polities haven't had a decent military commander since King Hussein fired General Sir John Glubb half-a-century back, how difficult could it be even for Arab armies to knock off a psychotic transvestite guarded by Austin Powers fembots? But no: Instead, the Arab League decided to volunteer the U.S. military.

--read the part where AQ was privileged to sack the goivernment armories in rebel-held territoory, and hauled off the surface-to-air missiles to 'their sanctuaries'.

--over the sand to Syria, the locus of turmoil is Daraa, the city adjacent to the Golan Heights.

"that the US and Euroland are naively laying out a red carpet for the Jihadists? "
"naively"? "naively"? No offense, but were you born yesterday?

Meself must echo this.

Junkie is naive to think the Mudboy doesn't know and support al Qaida.

Ain't no secret.

Agreed. I'm afraid that Mr. Vanderleun has demolished the 'naive' argument once and for all.
#2.2 Cris on 2011-03-26 13:13 (Reply)
Agreed --the only naiveté in the realm is on the part of those accusing the admin of being 'naive'.
