Stache' Grande' (Faux French) Schurrbart Grosse (Teutonic) - Literally the giant moustache. Nom de guerre for the avuncular Dr John Bolton, former UN ambassador from Great Satan who by happy coincidence has perhaps the most gigantic moustache ever. Late '07 Dr Bolton said he was not a neocon - though he is indeed a signatory on the famous PNAC Doc and is a big fan of America Unbound as a Straussian Purist and sees little benefit for equating nation states equal status. Dr. Bolton's essential "Surrender is not an option" is a must read.
Strat - strategy. also an electric guitar created by Leo Fender
Leo Strauss - ancient philosopher king and professor in Chicago. Dissident who fled Naziland before WWII, Strauss is an iconic figure - the founding father of 'Which one of these is not like the other?' politically wise - Strauss pointed out that relativism (and realism too) shared a dangerously retarded "easy going belief that all points of view are equal (hence none really worth passionate argument, deep analysis or stalwart defense) and then into the strident belief that anyone who argues for the superiority of a distictive moral insight, way of life, or human type is somehow elitist or antidemocratic and hence immoral."
Check out Allan Bloom’s The Closing of the American Mind to get a pop version, Then try Strauss’s own Natural Right and History, followed by Persecution and the Art of Writing. Strauss also edited The History of Political Philosophy, which has essays on all the major political philosophers and is an excellent and reliable intro.
Straussian Purists - in Foreign Policy circles, Straussian purists prefer NOT to cultivate, maintain contact, dialogue - or even acknowledgement of illegitimate regimes. Unelected regimes should be given the 'talk to the hand' biz hounded and confounded at all times in nearly any endeavour by legit governments until illegit regimes succumb to regime change and join the family of functional democratic societies. Straussian Purists include Pentagon Vulcans, Neocons and America Firsters. Sir Winnie is a big hero to the purists, they often celebrate his BDay with brandy and blunts.
Stuka (Deutsch) Sturzkampfflugzeug - original dive bomber by Luftwaffe with precision airstrikes. Stuka proved entirely devastating at the opening of blitzkrieg but totally sucked whenever confronted by fighters.

Imad Mughaniyah wasn't killed in a mysterious blast. The Syrians did it to send a message to Hezbollah. The message was very clear: "Don't try what you're doing in Lebanon here in Syria."
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Little Satan can get Hezbollah to actually go after Syria. Would be fun to watch.
