Mid Week OTB

Cheers to Wednesday–what some folks call “hump day” because once you’ve reached the afternoon, you’re over the hump on the way to the weekend!
Trackback with one of your posts that you think deserves some special attention from this past week.
Watch for Open Trackbacks here on Fridays, Sundays and Wednesdays.
Here is the trackback link to this post:
http://caosblog.com/2537/trackback/
To trackback to any post just use the post slug or “permalink” and add trackback/ to the end of it.
One other thing.
I will be deleting trackbacks when the posts don’t show that you’ve linked here. Make sure you do as I did, below–either saying thanks to Cao’s blog and linking to this post, or mention that I have a trackback party, and link to this post. Otherwise the trackback will be deleted.
If you are unable to send trackbacks, then use the Wizbang Standalone Trackback Pinger.

NZ Bear Killing the Trackback Parties
Looks like NZ Bear wants to dampen the fun. Don Surber has the details.
Don:
That’s basically true. I haven’t announced anything as yet as I’m still working out the system, but the goal is to not count ‘open trackbacks’…

Asian Allies Mull US Military Capability
I don’t think China wants to engage the USA militarily at this point. I think they’ll try to buy us first, which might well succeed.
However, looks like media reports of US military capability during the Iraqi war have given Asians much to think a…

Does it really hurt business?
I’m just not buying into this hurting sales. Some businesses say these are trade secrets. Others say they don’t want their competitors knowing their plans. Many retailers today if they sell/price match you the same product that someone else advertise…

From France: What Fires? What Riots?
It is a matter of riots in certain neighborhoods around urban centers, those infamous ghettos which one finds in American Cities too. Elsewhere life goes on as usual.

MA Father Allowed on Campus, Still No Notification
You may remember David Parker’s plight. He’s the Massachusetts father who was jailed for refusing to leave an agreed meeting with his 5-year old son’s school officials.

Hizbut Tehrir Behind French Intifada
IRIS was probably the first to make a comprehensive case that the discontent and separatist hatred expressed in the French riots were exploited by Islamists and channelled into an intifada. I predicted that over time the facts would make this much clearer

Strategic Victory Achieved in the Ongoing War Against Israel
A must-read, but understated, editorial from the Jerusalem Post:
The Rafah Border Crossing Deal
How committed are the Palestinians themselves to preventing weapons from being smuggled from Egypt into the Gaza Strip, or from the Gaza Strip into Israel?

Evidence the “Paris Riots” Are Actually the “French Intifada”
This entry will be updated regularly, because it may be the only comprehensive documentation of the Intifada-like elements of the French rioting.
