The Lebanese Army

Bin Laden’s porn collection
Comrade Max is right to be suspicious. Personally, I only believe that Bin Laden was killed during the raid: the rest are a combination of lies, fabrications, and psychological operations–as they are officially called. We don’t even know h…

Khalid Mish`al: `Arafat’s successor
I never liked this man or trusted him. I had predicted that under his leadership, the lousy Hamas movement would march on the lousy footsteps of the Fath Movement. His pronouncements never contribute to a picture of principledness: he seems…
