Robert Spencer is now an enemy of Little Green Footballs.
Charles Johnson, you are either an complete fucking idiot or part of The Enemy Within.
As for me, I will do everything in my power to break LGF into a million bits.

This is a disturbing story if there ever was one. I’m glad the police caught this guy. However, the media is not disclosing this man’ identity. I will be it’s a Muzzie! Of course Charles and Killgore don’t approve of this reasoning, but it’s my site and they have no say.
A man is under arrest in Washington after an improvised explosive device, a rifle and some ammunition were allegedly found in his jeep, Capitol Police said Friday.
The man stopped to ask police for directions near the Capitol building at about 11 a.m. EDT Friday, at the intersection of 2nd and Independence Avenue Southeast, according to Capitol Police spokeswoman Sgt. Kimberly Schneider.
The officer responding noticed a rifle case on the car seat and inspected the jeep, discovering the IED, rifle and ammunition. A canine unit was enlisted to help.
“They’ve all been rendered safe right now because they’re in the custody of Capitol Police,” Schneider told reporters at a briefing Friday.
The officer took the unidentified man into custody; the vehicle is still being searched.
Library of Congress employees near where the jeep was stopped were evacuated, and several roads are closed while police continue their investigation.
Schneider said that it wasn’t clear what the man intended to do with the cache of weapons.
The IED is on its way to the FBI facility in Quantico, Va., for analysis.
You may have noticed a sharp decline in the number of LGF posts about murderous attacks by Islamists in South Thailand. The reason: a “surge” by the Thai military.
The main reason for the drop in the violence was a change in counter-insurgency strategy with a more unified command structure. No longer were security personnel confined to the barracks and being on the defensive. Patrols became more regular and larger in number. As most of the terrorists operate in cells of 8 or less, the increased number of troops on patrols has meant that when the security forces have been ambushed, they have the numbers to fight back. For example, in May 2008, there were 18 ambushes on such patrols, but security forces only suffered one casualty and 8 injuries. On the other hand, the security forces themselves killed 25 terrorists in the first 6 months of 2008.
Raids with hundreds of personnel were also conducted in major terrorist strongholds and areas where cordoned off while houses and people were searched. Instead of arbitrarily detaining large numbers of villagers for 7 days at a military base for questioning and then for months at re-education camps, forensic equipment was now used to test for explosive residue and fingerprints were checked on the spot. Those who were not involved were released which has lead to better relations with the local community. Tip-offs started to increase and security forces now regularly find caches of weapons and training camps on raids.
Whether a corner has been turned or the progress can be maintained is still open to question, but there is no doubt there has been a dramatic drop in the violence.
