| A Taliban spokesman said on Tuesday that Prince Harry must have “mental problems,” following the broadcast of remarks by the royal in which he said that killing militants from an Apache helicopter was similar to playing video games. (Snip) In another edit of the footage, posted online by The Guardian, Prince Harry, who is known as Captain Wales in the army, explained that he was glad to have been “pushed forward to the front seat,” the one reserved for the attack helicopter’s gunner. That was, he said, “a joy for me because I’m one of those people that loves playing PlayStation and Xbox,

Comments:
Al Qaeda, the most homicidal lunatics on our planet, currently, don´t like Prince Harry´s description of how it feels to kill them? Normal people would try to make their mind and soul free of the actual act so as to be able to live with themselves. The Taliban want to glorify in their murder of all they chose is "unworthy" of their prophet. Fortunately, they will eventually spend an eternity in Hell with him. Especially if they come out like men and play real war with the Brits.

What Harry did in Afghanistan took guts, as he could easily have been a 100% playboy on the UK club scene. As Harry has said, he is too much Army and not enough Prince, nothing wrong with that.

Amused? I thought the Taliban did not believe in being amused.

Prince Harry is a warrior for freedom. The evil, trecherous & barbaric Taliban get no sympathy, ...although they are sure trying to play the victim for the already corrupted media.

No wonder they are upset. They enjoy blood and gore. Torture is their trademark. They don´t like to see people killed quickly. They are a bunch of sadists.

The most monstrous people alive on this earth, who have no trouble sawing off heads from innocent human beings and crashing civilian airliners filled with innocent people into buildings filled with innocent people, are upset that a warrior Prince seems unaffected by the act of killing them back? Indeed, Muslims are strange and animistic entities.

The military are trained to kill for their country. That is what they do, especially on the front lines. Killing more people advances your effort in the war, makes the world a safer place. And if you enjoy your success so be it.
This is the Taliban, and this isn´t the Civil War where you are blowing away the 18 year old shaking boy from the next state that doesn´t know why he is there...and living with that for the rest of your life. The Taliban is the worst of everything, crushing people, spirits, murdering and abusing women, and the guys at the top live comfortably and enjoy all the sins they bemoan.
I´d shoot them all day and sleep like a baby. Thank you Harry for your service.

Thank you for telling it like it is, Harry. If anyone else had said it, the criticism would have been ear-splitting. It´s GOOD to be a Prince sometimes. God bless you Harry!

Yeah, that from the people who throw parties and dance in the streets when innocent Christians, women and children are raped, blown up, beheaded and other despicable things are done to them. The people who send children in with suicide bombs. The people who execute a woman who dares to get gang raped by those monsters. Yeah, they really have every right to be incensed...NOT!

Mark Carson did not hide that he was gay, and when he went out on the town he would often head to Greenwich Village, where years before he was born, much of the struggle for gay liberation unfolded. Yet late Friday night, just blocks from the Stonewall Inn, among the most important landmarks of that struggle, he was confronted with a man screaming antigay slurs, who then stalked him before pulling out a silver revolver and fatally shooting him, the police said. “This clearly looks to be a hate crime,” Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said at a news conference on Saturday.

Washington - The president and chief executive officer of The Associated Press on Sunday called the government’s secret seizure of two months of reporters’ phone records “unconstitutional” and said the news cooperative had not ruled out legal action against the Justice Department. Gary Pruitt, in his first television interviews since it was revealed the Justice Department subpoenaed phone records of AP reporters and editors, said the move already has had a chilling effect on journalism. Pruitt said the seizure has made sources less willing to talk to AP journalists and, in the long term, could limit

Jerusalem - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held out the prospect on Sunday of further Israeli strikes inside Syria, pledging to act to prevent advanced weapons from reaching Hezbollah and other militant groups. (Snip) In public remarks at the weekly meeting of his cabinet, Netanyahu made no direct mention of those attacks, but said Israel was prepared to take action in the future and was "preparing for every scenario" in the Syrian conflict. Israel had a policy "to prevent, as much as possible, the leakage of advanced weapons to Hezbollah and terror elements", he said.

If you had been looking up at the moon at the right moment on March 17, you could have seen an unusual flash of light – a one-second burst of heat caused by the impact of a large meteoroid. No telescope required. “For about one second, the impact site was glowing like a 4th magnitude star,” NASA said in reporting the news Friday. This meteoroid was the size of a small boulder, and was travelling very fast. NASA estimates the size at 0.3 to 0.4 meters wide, and the speed at 56,000 m.p.h. The resulting explosion delivered a force equal to 5 tons of TNT. NASA puts a footnote on the word

Boston - The controversies swirling around the Obama administration — from the IRS targeting of conservative groups to lingering questions about last year´s terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya — are threatening to engulf Massachusetts´ special U.S. Senate election. The troubles could make it harder for Republican candidate Gabriel Gomez to turn the focus of the race back on jobs, the economy and budget as he tries to tie his rival and longtime Democratic Congressman Edward Markey to the nation´s sluggish recovery. But the episodes could also prove problematic for Markey if the public begins

Moscow - Ryan Fogle, the man Russia´s security services claimed to have captured last week as he tried to recruit a Russian to spy for the United States, left Russia on Sunday, NTV television reported. Fogle checked in on a flight at Moscow´s Sheremetyevo airport, NTV said. The Russian Foreign Ministry had earlier declared Fogle, a third secretary at the US Embassy in Moscow, persona non grata for "activity incompatible with his diplomatic status." He was told to leave Russia by May 20. The Russian Federal Security Service claimed last Tuesday to have detained Fogle in the act of meeting

President Obama told the graduating class at Morehouse College, the country´s preeminent historically black college, on Sunday said there is "no longer any room for excuses" for this generation of African-American men and that it was time for their generation to step up professionally and in their personal lives. (Snip) "We´ve got no time for excuses – not because the bitter legacies of slavery and segregation have vanished entirely; they haven´t," Obama told the graduating class and their family who sat through intermittent rain and thunder.

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure
