Captured Syrian MiG 21

Islamic State readying jets in preparation for an air attack

In August, I wrote a pointed article on why the US military was not prepared for how the fight had evolved with ISIL (http://www.blackboxwire.com/2014/08/30/the-next-911-we-are-not-prepared-for-how-isil-will-use-advanced-military-weapons-to-attack-us-targets/) in which I warned specifically about them using captured air assets.  For this specific warning, I received some very dismissive comments from government sources.  However, just this last week, Reuters (re)broke […]

Islamic extremism and what lies ahead? Part II: The War on ISIS and Syria

President Obama and his top military advisors have learned nothing and have made a grave mistake starting a war with Syria using ISIL as the pretext.  Just as I was confident and proven correct that this situation would materialize, I am equally confident in my analysis that this new war will lead to America’s greatest […]

THE NEXT 9/11: We are not prepared for how ISIL will use advanced military weapons to attack US targets

The Obama Administration has knowingly allowed ISIL to gain strength and capture more and more territory inside of Iraq and has set the stage for a second 9/11 style attack against a US target, which may in fact turn out to be the US Embassy Baghdad.  The White House looked the other way for years […]

ISIL Stinger Missile Launch

New White House Scandal Emerges: US Covering Up Loss of Stinger Missiles in Syria to ISIL

                As usual, our readers are getting the story before it is a story.  No other media outlet (alternative or otherwise) has picked up this story we are now breaking. Media reports (see: http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/06/16/us-made-stinger-missiles-have-likely-fallen-into-isis-hands-officials-say/), later tacitly confirmed by the Department of Defense (DOD) before burying the subject, have […]

Bill O'Reilly

The O’Reilly “Fiction:” Setting the Factor Straight

            Against my better judgment, I decided to watch a segment of “The O’Reilly Factor” on Fox News to hear his points on the latest developments in Iraq.  In O’Reilly’s defense, he has been a brilliant talk show host and highly successful writer and businessman.  However, at the end of […]

Iraq Explodes: White House Claims “Surprise” even as they Arm the Terrorists

I have been warning for years now that the Syrian Civil War would explode and massively destabilize the Middle East (see links at bottom of article). I specifically wrote extensively about the dangers of arming, training, and equipping Islamic extremists to fight Syrian government forces because it would lead to greater conflict in the Middle […]

The Disintegration of Iraq: US Military Action in Iraq neither Wise nor Suitable

As the hordes of American/Saudi/Qatari sponsored terrorists race across Iraq in what appears to be a blood orgy of Islamic extremism of the worst sort, Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki has appealed for help.  Maliki’s forces, to include two divisions of American trade Iraqi soldiers, have broken and fled leaving all of their equipment behind to […]

PM Maliki Accuses Qatar and Saudi Arabia of Waging War against Iraq

As we have reported for some time, the US support to Al Qaeda affiliated jihadist groups waging an insurgent war in Syria would cause the conflict to spread beyond Syria’s borders.  Specifically, we pointed out that the Qatari and Saudi backed insurgents would threaten the Shia dominated (Iranian leaning) government in Iraq.  This came to […]

Protestors in Kiev Fire on Police

An Open Letter to the People of Ukraine

I generally have focused my writings on events in the Middle East, but would like to take a few minutes to visit the violence currently erupting in Kiev, Ukraine.  As you are aware, I am speaking as a westerner and cannot fully grasp the situation as a native Ukrainian.  However, I will speak to you […]

The Rise of the Islamic State of the Levant: As Iraq fractures so does the Middle East

  Al Qaeda(AQ) is more powerful today than it was over a decade ago when then President George W. Bush declared his nebulous, ill-fated war on terrorism.  Ironically, one could strongly argue it was the war against AQ that made AQ more popular and resilient than it could have ever hoped to be autonomously operating […]

As We Predicted: Syrian and Iraqi Civil Wars Merge as President Obama’s Claims of a Defeated Al Qaeda Crumble

Disturbing news continues to pour out of Iraq as it appears Al Qaeda forces in Iraq have transformed from an insurgent force to conventional military force.  This is considered the last stage of a guerilla war by Mao Tse-Tung’s guide to guerilla warfare.  The successful takeover of the cities of Fallujah and Ramadi by Al […]

The Forgotten War: Afghanistan 12 Years Later

    America’s war against Al Qaeda terrorists in Afghanistan began over 12 years ago this last week.  This grim milestone came and went with no media coverage even as some of America’s best men and women were killed there in combat this week.  Now, in the lead up to a complete US military withdrawal […]

Syrian Rebels Continue to Lose Ground against Government Forces

Syrian government forces reinforced by Lebanese Hezbollah forces have been consolidating their control over the strategic rebel held district of Homs, which is Syria’s third largest city.  Homs has been controlled by rebels in part since 2011.  The recent military success by the Syrian military and Hezbollah fighters has left the rebels in retreat and […]

Media Missed the Biggest Coup in the Middle East and it wasn’t in Egypt

Tuning into the Fox and CNN “entertainment” networks, one would be lucky to catch a small bit of news between the brain numbing, around the clock reports on the Trayvon Martin Case and Anthony Weiner’s perverse antics.  Nonetheless, a close follower may have gathered that “former” Egyptian President Morsi was overthrown in a broadly supported coup […]

Iraq’s Descent Back into Violence

April 2013 has gone down as the deadliest month in Iraq since June of 2008 when the worst of the insurgent violence was finally beginning to diminish.  The casualty figures are staggering with the United Nations reporting 712 people killed last month, including 117 members of the Iraqi security forces.[i]  Whether or not one believes […]
