Three shots
There can be no doubt:
Benazir Bhutto was most certainly shot before the blast, and she had fallen into the vehicle before the bomb went off. The government is surely lying.

Viva la terrorism
A show of support for terrorism highlighted on the EuroPalestine website:
''The Municipality of Bordeaux had the good taste to decorate its trees imaginatively, paying tribute to Palestine. We must encourage such initiatives, by sending photos of the most "resistant" pines.
One of the photos shows a woman admiring a tree decorated with Christmas lights, Palestinian flags and terrorist propaganda:
The photos show an Israeli soldier who appears to be targeting civilians, and the various flyers proclaim:
''The true face of the Israeli occupation. They bully. They starve us."
"Sanctions against Israel."
"Stop collaboration with the terrorism of the state of Israel."
"Free Salah Hamouri."
If the palestinians are starving, well, that's because their leaders and supporters prefer to import bomb making materials rather than food, and they prefer to dig tunnels to smuggle weapons rather than grow food. They would rather kill Jews than eat, but what the heck, blame the Jews! They get blamed for everything.
Don't be fooled by the poster that claims Salah Hamouri is a palestinian student unfairly imprisoned in Israel. Hamouri is not a palestinian student, he is one of three Israeli arab members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine who plotted to carry out terror attacks against Israeli targets in Jerusalem, including a conspiracy to murder Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, and the purchasing of weapons and ammunition to carry out those attacks. They are presently incarcerated in an Israeli jail, having been tried before a court of law and convicted of assisting the enemy at a time of war.
Contributing to this show of support for Hamouri in this venue is the fact that he is of French descent and nationality. However, no such similar support is offered to Gilad Shalit, also of French descent and nationality. The contrast between these two "prisoners" and the obvious double standard is sickening, and a true reflection of the level of hatred in Europe of all things Jewish and of all things Israeli.
Hamouri is a terrorist who was arrested for plotting terrorist attacks and convicted for that crime. Hamouri visits regularly with his family, the Red Cross and even Amnesty International. The world knows he is safe and well looked after. He is fed three halal meals a day, he has access to medical care, he even has a cellphone to call home whenever he wishes. And... Hamouri, his family, and the world, know exactly how long his sentence is and when he will be freed.
Gilad Shalit is an innocent man, abducted by terrorists during a terrorist attack and he remains in the hands of terrorists. He has been denied access to anyone and everyone, including his family or the Red Cross. There has been no news from Gilad Shalit, except that he was gravely injured during his abduction and that he is suffering from those injuries. The world knows that he is not safe nor well looked after. Despite his injuries, Gilad Shalit has been denied medical treatment. No one knows where he is, how he is, or even whether he is still alive. And no one knows if or when Gilad Shalit will be freed.
Blinded by hatred for Israel and the Jewish people, the EU champions the guilty and condemns the innocent. All in "good taste" of course.

Pizza Pizza UFO
This year's Misguided Self Righteous Indignation Award goes to the Kucinich supporters (all ten of them) who took issue with this ad from Pizza Hut:
Now that's funny! But not to the Kuch supporters:
"I am going to encourage all Kucinich supporters to boycott your restaurant until you change your "debate" advertising," wrote the operator of a website called Dandelionsalad. "That was a low blow to a viable, electable presidential candidate. Consider the word OUT! I also think Pizza Hut should publicly apologize to the Congressman!"
".. it shows Dennis Kucinich mentioning "UFOs," followed by a cutaway voiceover saying "CONFUSED?" That's fucking unfair."
Yeah, its not only unfair to poke fun at the Kuch for what he said during the debates, its fucking unfair.
I don't know what they're complaining about. Pizza Hut may very well be first to give the Kuch equal time with the other candidates, getting him out there in front of middle America, right there on the TV screen. And they should apologize for what? Kucinich said what he said, and now middle America, who may have missed the debate, can laugh at it along with the rest of us. Pizza Hut's response:
The world's largest pizza chain hasn't received many complaints about the politically-oriented ad which began airing nationally last night to kick-off a new $5 pizza promotion, according to Pizza Hut Public Relations Director Jennifer Little.
She called the ad a "lighthearted way to tie into the important topic of the economy," and said Kucinich's UFO remarks were used because they were among the most memorable comments uttered in any of the presidential debates.
"We found humor in his comment, so we included it and words from all the candidates in the ad for our new Pizza Mia product," Little said. "We also want to remind people to vote in this important election, whomever they support."
Pizza Pizza!

How sweet it ain't
The IDF and Shin Bet uncovered 6.5 tons of potassium nitrate hidden in sacks that were disguised as aid from the European Union, the army announced on Saturday.
Security forces discovered the stash in the cargo of a Palestinian truck at a West Bank checkpoint earlier in December. According to the IDF, the material, hidden in sugar sacks, was planned to be used by terrorists in the Gaza Strip.
"Potassium Nitrate is a banned substance in the Gaza Strip and the Judea and Samaria region due to its use by terrorists for the manufacturing of explosives and Kassam rockets," the IDF spokesperson wrote in a statement.
"This is another example of how the terror organizations exploit the humanitarian aid that is delivered to the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip with Israel's approval," the statement read.
--------------
But but but... it was EU aid, the EU supports Hamas and now you know why the EU is bound and determined to remove the checkpoints.
Somebody was in a rush to get that ASAP. I suppose 6.5 tons of potassium nitrate would have taken too long via the usual smuggling method. Supplies like that are usually smuggled in by UN ambulances, they get checked less often and if the IDF stops one going in, even if they find contraband, it becomes an international incident.
Hat tip to SondraK for the story.

Shabbat Shalom
Our Father in Heaven, Rock and Redeemer of Israel, bless the State of Israel, the first manifestation of the approach of our redemption. Shield it with Your loving kindness, envelop it in Your peace, and bestow Your light and truth upon its leaders, ministers, and advisors, and grace them with Your good counsel. Strengthen the hands of those who defend our holy land, grant them deliverance, and adorn them in a mantle of victory.
Ordain peace in the land and grant its inhabitants eternal happiness. Lead them, swiftly and upright, to Your city Zion and to Jerusalem, the abode of Your Name, as is written in the Torah of Your servant Moses: “Even if your outcasts are at the ends of the world, from there the Lord your God will gather you, from there He will fetch you. And the Lord your God will bring you to the land that your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and He will make you more prosperous and more numerous than your fathers.”
Draw our hearts together to revere and venerate Your name and to observe all the precepts of Your Torah, and send us quickly the Messiah son of David, agent of Your vindication, to redeem those who await Your deliverance.
Manifest yourself in the splendor of Your boldness before the eyes of all inhabitants of Your world, and may everyone endowed with a soul affirm that the Lord, God of Israel, is king and his dominion is absolute.
Amen

Stating the obvious
Thank you, everyone, for sending me links to World Net Daily's article about who will be "protecting" our President during his visit to the Holy Land next month. Many of you were upset about this:
According to Israeli security officials coordinating deployments of forces with the PA for Bush's Ramallah visit, members of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, Fatah's declared military wing, have been called upon by the PA to participate in the protection of Bush's convoy and in securing the perimeter during the meeting with Abbas.
First, I'm sorry to say, this is not breaking news. And yes, of course its true.
I understand your concern but remember, President Bush has given Mahmoud Abbas and Fatah his official Seal of Approval. The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades is the military arm of Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah Party and they are armed and trained by the US, using US tax dollars.
I'm tired of the double standard, why does the War on Terror stop at Israel's border?
Given President Bush's support of Abbas and his merry band of terrorists, he should put his life into their hands, just as he has asked Israeli citizens to do. If there are consequences, well, he should suffer them. If something horrible happens, I would say he has reaped what he has sown.
And if Fatah does kill him, well, they'll just blame it on Hamas.
The "moderate" Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigages is President Bush's pet terrorist group and they have been killing Jews for over 40 years.
Its a funny thing about terrorists, whether you call them extremist or moderate, no matter which brand of terrorist kills you, you are still dead, as are all of these innocent people killed by Israel's Partners in Peace™ - Mahmoud Abbas's moderates, the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades just in the last seven years:

Reason # 576938172
How will the six volunteers cope with living according to the laws of the Qur'an?
Not very well at all:
The process starts with a sweep of the group’s homes for items that are haram – forbidden by Islam – such as alcohol, pork, inappropriate clothing, lads’ mags… The next stage is to add a schedule of praying five times a day. The rebellion begins almost immediately. Taxi driver Phil retreats to his local pub for pork pies and beer; others object to the rigid dress codes and say that they disagree with many aspects of the faith.
mmmm. Beer!
To Ajmal’s disappointment, only three turn up for Friday prayers at the end of the first week.
It didn't get much better on retreat:
Back in Harrogate, the women had resisted the Muslim tradition of modest dress. At the retreat, though, mentor Dawn insists that this rule is obeyed. Glamour model Kerry feels so oppressed by the clothing that she decides to quit. With a little give and take, though, Ajmal persuades her to stay.
Many of the other women respond by rebelling against the whole regime: they stash illicit supplies of scotch eggs, crisps, sweets and portable DVD players in their dormitory.
No word on whether the group converted, no word on whether they didn't. It doesn't appear that anyone suffered the true effects of Sharia law, presumably they were not flogged on public television for their lapses into the evil alchohol and their failure to cover themselves with a sheet. No one was crucified or hanged or mutilated, everyone retained their heads. So. I guess Britian isn't really ready for reality TV.
Will Britian's Channel Four have a special next month... "Make me a Christian" or even "Make a Buddist?"
My guess would be.... no.

Identifying the Enemy
Looks like we can learn a little something from Afghanistan:
KABUL (AFP) - Afghanistan has ordered a top European Union official and a United Nations staffer to leave the country for threatening national security, government and diplomatic officials said Tuesday.
The two were declared persona non grata, apparently after allegations they had met with Taliban insurgents, a European diplomat said.
I wasn't all that confident in this article, it's from the AFP and we know how reliable they are, but whaddya know, it seems this story is actually true, and, its not just any EU official...
One is a high-ranking UN employee, Briton Mervyn Patterson, the other is acting head of the EU mission in Afghanistan, Irishman Michael Semple.
The expulsion order follows claims that the men had held talks with the Taleban in Helmand province in the south.
The Afghan government has said the pair must leave by Thursday, and the UN has reportedly booked a flight.
Wow! The Head of the UN Mission! Imagine that!
But hey, I can understand how the Afghani Government feels... now that they've decided to negotiate with the Taliban and invite them into the government, they don't need the UN or the EU getting in the way.
Of course, the UN says its all a misunderstanding, and it probably is, considering that they were wandering around in what is called a haven for the Taliban, which happens to be the heart of poppy farmland. By their own admission, they were trying to "to talk to the people on the ground, to understand from the people on the ground what their needs are, what their concerns are, and that includes people who are perhaps less than supportive of the government of Afghanistan."
I'm sure they had no interest in government issues at all. Both the UN and the EU have been "playing" a major role in the attempt to eradicate the poppy business, but they have failed to achieve any positive results. And now that they're caught, my guess is the world will have to wait a little bit longer for the UN's "Opium for Food Program."
Oh well. At least the "peacekeepers" didn't rape any school kids. Yet.

Merry Merry!
If I cannot bring you comfort
then at least I bring you hope
for nothing is more precious
than the time we have and so
we all must learn from small misfortune
count the blessings that are real
let the bells ring out for christmas
at the closing of the year
But wait... one more:

Shabbat Shalom
Our Father in Heaven, Rock and Redeemer of Israel, bless the State of Israel, the first manifestation of the approach of our redemption. Shield it with Your loving kindness, envelop it in Your peace, and bestow Your light and truth upon its leaders, ministers, and advisors, and grace them with Your good counsel. Strengthen the hands of those who defend our holy land, grant them deliverance, and adorn them in a mantle of victory.
Ordain peace in the land and grant its inhabitants eternal happiness. Lead them, swiftly and upright, to Your city Zion and to Jerusalem, the abode of Your Name, as is written in the Torah of Your servant Moses: “Even if your outcasts are at the ends of the world, from there the Lord your God will gather you, from there He will fetch you. And the Lord your God will bring you to the land that your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and He will make you more prosperous and more numerous than your fathers.”
Draw our hearts together to revere and venerate Your name and to observe all the precepts of Your Torah, and send us quickly the Messiah son of David, agent of Your vindication, to redeem those who await Your deliverance.
Manifest yourself in the splendor of Your boldness before the eyes of all inhabitants of Your world, and may everyone endowed with a soul affirm that the Lord, God of Israel, is king and his dominion is absolute.
Amen

Kumbaya!
If you were worried about the state of the world today, all the conflict, violence, all the war, global warming, social injustice, well, you can sit back and relax now, 'cause help is on the way! That's right!
It's Synchronized Global Orgasms for Peace! Yay!
I know that to the rational mind, it sounds stupid but, you should know that the concept has been researched by The Global Consciousness Project of Princeton University, that's right, Princeton! and they've been measuring the general randomness of the world using special super sekrit Random Event Generators around the world which record changes in their randomness during global events.
The results show that human consciousness can be measured to have a global effect on matter and energy during widely-watched events such as the collapse of the World Trade Center towers, large antiwar protests, natural catastrophes, acts of war and mass meditations. Concentrated consciousness has measurable effects. Wow!
Our minds influence Matter and Quantum Energy fields, so by concentrating thoughts during and after The Big O on peace and partnership, the combination of high orgasmic energy combined with mindful intention for peace could reduce global levels of violence, hatred and fear.
The world is full of men with axes to grind and weapons to fire in displays of their superiority over others. It is time to spare the planet from Alpha Male concepts of 'progress', 'growth' and Manifest Destiny, which are endangering all of us. True partnership between the Masculine and Feminine that is within all women and men may enable our species to survive in relative harmony. The Global Orgasm for Peace is one attempt to begin that process.
Randomness! Matter! Quantum Energy Fields! Masculine and Femine! Oh Baby! But will it work? Well, although last year's event is being billed as an "overwhelming success," there is still war in the world, and global warming and social injustice, so technically, no, it didn't work, but this year:
This year we are synchronizing on the actual moment of the Solstice (Winter in the northern hemisphere, Summer in the south) for maximum concentrated effect.
Now we have Randomness! Matter! Quantum Energy Fields! Masculine and Femine! and Winter Soltice! Maximum Concentrated Effect! Oh Baby! How can it not work? Yay! We are saved!
Whew! It's good to know that the world now has a real and viable solution for not only peace on earth in our time, but global warming and social injustice too! and it's one we can all participate in and make happen!
Of course, abortion statistics (and aids as well) will likely spike up in the next couple of months, but, that's a small price to pay for peace on earth, and just in time for Christmas!
It's Global-O baby, for peace!
So, whatcha doing tomorrow?

Tonight's Tear Jerker
The two men are led out from cells deep inside the basement of "La Comandancia," the city's aging police headquarters.
They have shaven heads and a shaken look. Police officers order them to lift their shirts and show off their gang tattoos, which indicate they're from San Jose, Calif. Both had just been deported from the United States, dropped off a few weeks earlier at the public gates of Tijuana.
On an old wooden table in front of them is a display of their loot, the result of a string of petty thefts victimizing Tijuana street vendors: a backpack, two makeshift knives, some coins along with a few packets of mints, gum and a bottle of perfume.
... Tijuana's Mayor Kurt Honald, ... has protested the dumping of criminals at the Tijuana gates. He says deportees have triggered a 300 percent rise in petty crime during the last year, as criminals raise money for a return to the U.S. Others join narcotics cartels and smuggling organizations to pay for their return.
Criminal deportees represent about one-third – 84,652 in the year ended Sept. 30 – of ICE formal deportations across the United States. And they are quickly becoming the leading category of deportee being processed by ICE. Under pressure from Congress to step up immigration enforcement, the Bush administration has expanded funding for a series of programs that seek to deport illegal immigrants out of a myriad of federal, state and local jails.
Torres Gallego heads a task force that raids neighborhoods where criminal deportees are involved in crime. She said because of their criminal records, these migrants now aren't wanted by anyone. They have no ID in the United States. No ID in Mexico. So they get shuffled from one place to another.
"It's very sad," Torres said.
Tijuana's petty crime rate is up 300% and as usual it is all America's fault. Boo friggin hoo.

and I never go to the movies:
I'm sure it will probably have some kind of touchie feelie kumbaya ending... it is Adam Sandler after all, but still, it should be good for a few laughs at least and I could use a few laughs right about now. I'm distracted by family problems, my brother has cancer and its serious. My family is not very good at coping with things like this and I'm caught up in shite that I thought I left behind more than 10 years ago. It ain't no fun. I could use a little lightening of the heart and the soul. So bring on the Mossad Hairdresser with the big... ummm... package.
If you're up for a prayer or two, my brother could sure it.

To the Morning
To The Morning
Watching the sun...watching it come
Watching it come up over the rooftops
Cloudy and warm...maybe a storm
You can never quite tell from the morning
And it's going to be a day
There is really no way to say no to the morning
Yes it's going to be a day
There is really nothing left to say but come on morning
Waiting for mail
Maybe a tale from an old friend or even a lover
Sometimes there's none
But we have fun thinking of all who might have written
And it's going to be a day
There is really no way to say no to the morning
Yes it's going to be a day
There is really nothing left to say but come on morning
And maybe there are seasons
And maybe they change
And maybe to love is not so strange
The sounds of the day
Now they hurry away
Now they are gone until tomorrow
When day will break and you will wake
And you will rake your hands across your eyes and realize
That it's going to be a day
There is really no way to say no to the morning
Yes it's going to be a day
There is really nothing left to say but come on morning
And maybe there are seasons
and maybe they change
And maybe to love is not so strange
Thank you Dan. You will be missed.

There are many ways to skin a cat!
Much ado is being made of the Military's policy of returning mail that is addressed to "Any Soldier." Its a shame, but such are the times we live in. I support that decision, and not just because some jihadi may decide to send a little anthrax for Christmas.
There are moonbats out there who think one way to fight the war is to demoralize our troops, and I don't want anyone getting a "dear baby killer" letter from the wackos. An outrage, yes, but it has happened, just google Joshua Sparling and you'll see how the left supports the troops.
The end result is that anything addressed to "Any Soldier" has to be vetted for the safety and well being of our troops. Its just one more thing we have to deal with.
But do not doubt, we are dealing with it.
Good people will always find a way accomplish a goal.
So. Here's a tip I received from Wollfe:
"With the support of the Department of Defense, Walter Reed Army Medical Center and with help from Pitney Bowes Government Solutions, the American Red Cross will collect, review and disseminate holiday greeting cards to wounded military personnel. For security reasons, the Red Cross will only be able to accept holiday cards, not packages. Red Cross volunteers will receive and bundle the cards to be shipped by Pitney Bowes Government Solutions. Then, Red Cross volunteers at military medical facilities will distribute the cards to patients and their families in time for the holidays."
Address your Cards or Letters to:
We Support You During Your Recovery!
c/o American Red Cross
PO Box 419
Savage, MD 20763-0419
If you hurry, you might be in time for the Holidays.
But that's not all.
Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, located in Germany, is usually the first actual military hospital wounded soldiers are taken to after they've been evacuated from the Middle East. Sometimes, they are further evacuated stateside after a few weeks, and sometimes they return to duty.
Thanks to Pastoral Services, you can send a card or a letter to a wounded soldier at Landstuhl, and they will make sure your letter or card gets to a soldier. Its probably too late for Holiday greetings but better late than never!
US Army Hospital
attn: MCEUL/Pastoral Services
CMR 402
APO AE 09180
These services are generally overwhelmed during the holidays, please remember, our troops need your support 365 days a year. These addresses are always good. Why not make it a monthly thing, or even better, a weekly thing. Its a good habit to get into.

Credit where Credit is due
Last month, I stumbled upon a website, Who Would the World Elect, which invited people from all over the world to express their opinion on who should be the next president of the United States. It was a good idea, and while the results would be completely unimportant, they might have been interesting, except the paultards discovered it and spammed it all to hell.
Still, I thought it was funny, and I wrote a bit of satire about it, after casting one vote for Ron Paul from Zimbabwe and one vote for Obama from Armenia. You can do that, vote for anyone, anywhere, as many times as you like, without clearing caches, or using a proxy or any of the tricks the paultards normally use on internet polls. You just click and vote and click and vote and click and vote to your heart's content. Yep. Fair and balanced polling for paultards.
Much to my surprise, a paultard named Jim ODonnell actually took my satire seriously, and he did a little song and dance about it over at Nolan Chart, turning me into some sort of paultard goddess. I had a good laugh about that here. And then... someone pointed out his foolishness, and oh my! Did Mr. Paultard ever get angry at me!
and this morning, I woke up to this:
Except, Lew is not linking to my site, he's linking to the paultard poll which ODonnell remains convinced is actually owned by me. Don't even try to tell him otherwise. Lord knows I tried, and he just won't let go of his delusions. A true paultard to the end.
So. Let that be a lesson to all you anti-paul people out there, if you mock Dr. Paul's internet campaign, you will singlehandedly cause him to be president. That's right, but don't go looking for the top spot, because its mine, mine I tell ya, all mine, just ask old Jim, he'll tell ya!
And if Paul fails in his bid, well, I am sure it will be my fault too, after all, according to Jim, I am a clever little devil and an infiltrator worthy of the "Mussad" but little does he know that I am the head of the International Zionist Conspiracy to Stop Ron Paul from Saving the World.
Are you properly awed? I hope so.

Today's IDF Moment
The soldiers of the Yahalom ("Diamond") unit, the elite unit of the Combat Engineering corps, have found an original way to celebrate Hannukah. The "Andros" robot lit the Menorah, which in normal times is used for ongoing security uses and lessens the chances of soldiers being hurt. Besides lighting candles the robot also served as a waiter when it dished up doughnuts.
The "Andros" robot, like the other IDF robots, is part of the "Bezeq" division, the IDF's robotics division, part of Yahalom. "Bezeq" is responsible for developing and operating the robots which are used for various tasks in the IDF, especially in removal and neutralizing of bombs. The unit's soldiers who operate the robots stand at the forefront together with the IDF's fighters and are resposnible for operating the robots in real time. The various robots are used by the IDF in dangerous tasks which in the past would have been carried out by soliders, thus avoiding needless danger.
From last year, but I love it!

Reason # 47549 why I love soccer
Because... if it weren't for soccer, I would not have had the chance to meet the one and only Ocean Guy, who was in town for his son's soccer game.
Yes, tis true, Ocean Guy is the newest addition to "Bloggers I have Met" (the list is growing slowly but surely). You'll have to take my word for it though, as neither of us thought to take a photo. darn. I stole this picture from his "about" page, you'll have to settle for that.
We met for a couple of drinks and some very interesting conversation. You might not have noticed but Ocean Guy bears the distinction of being the only democrat on my blogroll and I have a tremendous respect for him.
I had a great time, Ocean Guy is every bit as wonderful as I thought he might be, and I hope we meet up again one day.

O Little Lights of Mystery
O little lights of mystery
You recall our history
And all that went before
The battles and the bravery
And our release from slavery
Miracles galore.
As my eyes behold your flames
I recall our heroes' names
And our ancient dream:
“Jews were learning how to fight
To defeat an awesome might
They could reign supreme”
“They would rule their own domain
When the enemy was slain,
The Temple cleansed and whole.
Once there was a Jewish land
And a mighty Jewish hand.”
Oh, how it moves my soul!
O little lights of mystery
You retell our history
Your tales are tales of pain.
My heart is filled with fears
My eyes are filled with tears
"What now?" says the haunting refrain
The above Chanukah poem was written by Morris Rosenfeld, in Yiddish, at a time when the land of Israel was a dream within a dream and the idea of Jews fighting for and gaining their homeland seemed impossible. Morris died in 1924, before the dream first became a reality, and then, became a nightmare:
Hell is a Jewish state devoid of Jewish values that picks up where the anti-Semites, the pogromers, and the exilers left off. Hell is a Jewish prime minister who has become a cannibal of his own people. Hell is when a country has lost its will to exist and begins a process of national suicide. Hell is when Jews with Jewish values have become outcast in their own land. Hell is when the Jewish state becomes worse than the exile. - Gershon Perlman
Tonight is not just Shabbat, its Shabbat Chanukah.
Isaiah 31:4 For thus saith the LORD unto me: Like as the lion, or the young lion, growling over his prey, though a multitude of shepherds be called forth against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them; so will the LORD of hosts come down to fight upon mount Zion, and upon the hill thereof.
Isaiah 31:5 As birds hovering, so will the LORD of hosts protect Jerusalem; He will deliver it as He protecteth it, He will rescue it as He passeth over.
I believe in miracles.
Our Father in Heaven, Rock and Redeemer of Israel, bless the State of Israel, the first manifestation of the approach of our redemption. Shield it with Your loving kindness, envelop it in Your peace, and bestow Your light and truth upon its leaders, ministers, and advisors, and grace them with Your good counsel. Strengthen the hands of those who defend our holy land, grant them deliverance, and adorn them in a mantle of victory.

And the Lord your God will bring you to the land that your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and He will make you more prosperous and more numerous than your fathers.”
Draw our hearts together to revere and venerate Your name and to observe all the precepts of Your Torah, and send us quickly the Messiah son of David, agent of Your vindication, to redeem those who await Your deliverance.

Hostilities Exist
U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, December 8, 1941:
Yesterday, December 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its Government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American Island of Oahu, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to the Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. And while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack.
It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.
The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost. In addition American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.
Yesterday the Japanese Government also launched an attack against Malaya. Last night Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong. Last night Japanese forces attacked Guam. Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands. Last night the Japanese attacked Wake Island. And this morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island.
Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.
As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.
But always will our full national remember the character of the onslaught against us.
No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.
I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.
Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.
With confidence in our armed forces - with the unbounding determination of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God.
I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December seventh, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire."
A complete list of those lost: Never forget the brave.

What he said!
After nearly a year on hiatus, Sir Banagor is back! Here's a bit from his latest titled "Ron Paul is an anti-Semitic Nazi Asshole Fuck":
Anyone who goes around courting neo-Nazis, Islamists, 9/11 conspiracy theorists and other lunatics who basically hate Jews, Jews, Jews, really needs a kick in the balls. And even if he doesn’t actually court them, he’s not repudiating them either.
It’s not his war stance which upsets me as much as his followers. They’re nuts. They’re insane. They’re fucking lunatics who can’t shut up, hate Israel, hate Jews, hate Bush, hate anyone who likes Israel, Jews, and Bush, and won’t stop telling everyone about it. They’re so fucking dumb that they even think that spamming online polls will actually make a difference in a real election.
and...
Listen up, fuckfaces (that’s another one that I can use - means the same thing as “Ron Paul Supporter”): Ron Paul isn’t about tax reform, liberty, abortion, or anything else you think Ron Paul is about. Ron Paul is about what his most extreme core supporters are about: hating Jews, Jews, Jews, and anything to do with them. If you’re voting for Ron Paul because you think you’re going to show how dissatisfied you are with the system, then you might as well vote for whomever else Stormfront decides to openly support. That makes you a Nazi supporter as well. And until your messiah against the Jews comes out and lashes like a madman against all those assholes who are courting his agenda with money and attention, then that makes you party to the same cause as well. It doesn’t mean shit if you’re black or brown or Jewish or left-handed Lithuanian because the tag “Useful Fucking Idiot” trumps all of those labels if you’re going out and supporting Ron Paul at this point.
and...
If there is one thing I am grateful for towards Ron Paul, it’s that he showed (and is currently still showing) everyone where most of the anti-war activists belong: in bed with Neo-Nazis, extreme leftists who love Hugo Chavez and hate our country, David Duke, 9/11 conspiracy idiots, Islamists, and all the other morons in this country who think that the Patriot Act is somehow about their pathetic and fucking boring little lives.
and...
By the way, Paulites: I want you to hate me. I revel in it. I enjoy it. I want you to loathe me in the same way that I loathe you as well. Please do. Please make my day. Hate me. Really hate me. I can’t help but laugh at your hatred. I also can’t help but laugh at the fact that Ron Paul will never be president, and you’re all wasting your time and money on him. It feels good knowing that the enemy is going to lose. It’s a foregone conclusion.
dayum! That was awesome, and that's just the highlights. There's more here!
Welcome back Sir Banagor. This faithful fan has missed you!

Will the stupidity ever end?
The founders of the Green Hanukkia campaign found that every candle that burns completely produces 15 grams of carbon dioxide. If an estimated one million Israeli households light for eight days, they said, it would do significant damage to the atmosphere.
"The campaign calls for Jews around the world to save the last candle and save the planet, so we won't need another miracle," said Liad Ortar, the campaign's cofounder, who runs the Arkada environmental consulting firm and the Ynet Web site's environmental forum.
As if we Jews didn't have enough to worry about:

A Day for Mourning
On this day in 1945, by a vote of 65 to 7, the United States Senate approves United States participation in the United Nations (the UN was established on October 24, 1945)
It has been said that an alien observing the United Nations' debates, reading its resolutions, and walking its halls would conclude that its principal purpose is to censure, condemn and destroy first the country of Israel and second, the United States of America, and that its way to accomplish its purpose is through the protection and nurturing of terrorism throughout the world. That is most certainly true.

Your Tax Dollars at Work
Twenty-nine-year old Ido Zoldan of Shavei Shomron was murdered on November 19, 2007 in a terror attack, leaving behind his wife Tehila and his children, three-year-old Aharon and one-year-old Rachel.
Ido Zoldan and his family were putting their lives together after being expelled from their home in the community of Homesh during the 2005 disengagement from Gaza.
Who killed him?
Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah terrorist branch, the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades said it carried out the attack to demonstrate its opposition to the Annapolis conference.
But, earlier today in Israel, the news was released that one day after the terror attack, the IDF arrested three "Palestinian policemen" for the murder of Ido Zoldan, two of them confessed, and they picked up the third.
So. They waited a week before telling us who was behind this murder, obviously to avoid any negative press before Annapolis, so Condi Rice could sit down and schmooze with Mahmoud Abbas, leader of the most active and evil terrorist group in the world.
And... in case you are wondering, yes, these would be the same "Palestinian policemen" that the United States of America has armed and trained to kill, using our tax dollars to support terrorism.
