Nothing to see, just move along...
Okay, if you're one of those people who get all worked up worrying about islamic terrorists and jihad on American soil, I just want to let you know that the global Islamic network Hizb ut-Tahrir conference, that's here on American soil - with the catchy title, "Fall of Capitalism & Rise of Islam," is nothing to get worked up about.
Fox News is probably being alarmist with their article about the conference titled "Islamic Supremacist Group Holds First U.S. Conference." You know how they are. It's just plain silly to warn us about the global Islamic network Hizb ut-Tahrir just because they are responsible for spawning the likes of the 9/11 terrorists. Just because they're actively working in the U.S. doesn't mean that "Jihad is coming" or that "Jihad is here."
It's not like these islamists are right wing extremists, or ex-military or even veterans, come on! This a Global Islamic Supremacist Group, they're moderates and they're perfectly legal. Never mind that last March Hizb ut-Tahrir called for "a state of war against America" and never mind that they call for an overthrow of our Constitution. It's not like we're using our Constitution anyways and their plans for the destruction of our liberties and freedom are pretty darn close to those of the current administration. So what if they plan the replacement of our current rule of law with Shari'a Law, you just might like Shari'a Law. You never know.
There's nothing to get all worked about. In fact, you should be glad these islamists are here in America. If nothing else, think of the economy. So, feel free to worry about more important things, like, is Michael still dead? Oh! That reminds me, did you know he was one of them? That's right, he converted! Didn't he look cute in his abaya? And his little boy! Just adorable.

Because nothing says Freedom
like barbecue and firecrackers:
and why not, what else would you expect, after all, while his Fourth of July honored guests slaughtered their people in the streets, the best thing 0bama could think of to do was to eat an ice cream.
How wonderful of 0bama to give the dictators a day off from killing those protestors, I'm sure they must be exhausted, busting heads and surpressing dissent certainly looks like hard work. I'm sure the hot dogs will be appreciated too, I bet they don't get that every day! I guess beer is just plain impossible but maybe they could have ice cream too! Such a kindness will surely be remembered and it's bound to help the peace process between our countries, dontcha think?
That 0bama is amazing, I mean, really! Bush never would have done such a thing. Never!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've gotta go throw up.

Is it over yet?
The shock and horror of what is happening in Iran has begun to sink in and the reality of the situation has begun to assert itself to me. I sit here and watch these kids and I wonder, what the hell are they doing? They must be out of their minds.
Surely they must realize that no matter what they do, in the end, there truly can be no change in Iran because in the end, no matter who the front guy is, it is the ayatollah who is in charge and whoever "won" would simply carry out the orders and mouth the words. These poor people storm the streets in protest that they did not get to choose the man who carries out their torture, who brings the messages from their dictator. It will make no difference in their lives who that man is, if it's Ahmadinejad or Mousavi or Mickey Mouse, they're still going to be under the same oppression, their lives will still be miserable, they will still suffer as much tomorrow as they did last week or last month or last year.
Do these people really believe that Ahmadinejad is in control or that if Mousavi won, he would be in control? That's ridiculous. And sadly, if it were true, the notion that their lives would be better under Mousavi would still be ridiculous.
After the initial burst of horror and sympathy for the Iranian youth who are being slaughtered like animals by order of the ayatollah, I took the time to look into the man they were so determined to have as their president, this so-called reformer, Mir Hossein Mousavi. I wanted to see just what it is that they thought they were fighting for, what they hoped to accomplish by electing this man, what change they hoped to bring about.
As I looked, it became clear, no matter which man won the election, be it Ahmadinejad or Mousavi, if you look at the man himself and his beliefs, there would be no change in foreign policy in Iran, for Mousavi is no different than Ahmadinejad in his beliefs, he is as hard and as radical as Ahmadinejad, as hate filled and murderous as Ahmadinejad. That's why he was allowed to run in the first place.
I watch these kids wave their green wrist bands and hold up their green fingers and I can't help but remember that green is the color of Hezbollah and Hamas, and I know that the man they support and want me to support is responsible for the formation of Hezbollah, and Mousavi took that color as his own for a reason. The Iranian youth had no quarrel with Hamas or Hezbollah or with Iran's support of these terrorists, as long they were only killing Jews. Now, of course, Hezbollah and Hamas are standing with the Iranian government as they must, because Iran has supported Hamas and Hezbollah for so long that a great debt is owed and the allegiance must be honored.
And, it is likely that Hamas and Hezbollah know that in the end, these riots will mean nothing. The ayatollah has made his decision on the Iranian presidency and his decision will stand. Eventually, the protestors will realize they cannot win and they will back down, return to their little hovels, lick their wounds and bury their dead. And, they will support Hamas and Hezbollah once again.
So, the word is that the Iranian youth love all things American. Okay, fine. They like t-shirts and baseball hats and iPods. They like rap music and blue jeans. But liking America and Americans is another story, and anyway, they like Sharia Law most of all and all of the oppression and horror that comes with it. That's what they really like, that's what they really want, and that's what Mousavi has promised them, more Sharia law.
From Mousavi's website:
"We are not against the Islamic system and its laws but against lies and deviations and just want to reform it"
Mousavi is another Islamist dictator, who thinks the current islamist dictator is lying and deviating from true islamist law. That's the change Mousavi promised to bring to Iran, and that's what the Iranian youth is fighting, and dying, in the streets for, the freedom to be oppressed by Sharia law.
The man they support is even more radical and crazy then the one they reject.
It seems to me that what they are really saying to us here in America is, "please, pull us from this fire over here and toss us into that fire over there!"
Well, that's their right, to have their vote counted, and to have the government they voted for. And they can certainly fight to the death to have it.
I can't help but feel terribly sorry for each and every one of them.

CONFIRMED:
The Student Protest March in Azadi Square is being fired upon. Deaths have been reported, first by the youth themselves, and now, by the Associated Press.
Word is that 119 members of Tehran University faculty have resigned in protest of the attack on Tehran University last night. Among them is Dr Jabbedar-Maralani, who is known as the father of Iranian electronic engineering. They have asked for the resignation of Farhad Rahbari the appointed president of Tehran University, for his incompetence in defending the University's dignity and student lives.

The Dictator 0bama is so willing to talk to
is busy killing his people even as I write these words. The chatter coming out of Tehran is horrifying:
The video:
The crowd is chanting "I will fight, I will die, I will take back my vote." What comes next?
and now:
That's less than 12 hours from now.
Please pray for these poor people who just want to be free of the tyrant that has stolen their freedom. They'll get no help from 0bama, who will only offer them pretty words, the same pretty words he offers us, while he sucks up to the same bastard who has denied them even basic human rights and civil liberties and who is now making a mockery of the election process, and killing them dead in the streets when they object to being railroaded by a dictator.
I bet you think such things could never happen here.
UPDATE: JUNE 15, 2009 7:36 AM EST
it's 4:00 pm now in Iran, six minutes past as I write this. Latest chatter says the protest march will go on, that former Iranian President khatami is with the students, and that Mousavi will appear as well. The Iranian "government" has denied "permission" to hold the march.
The Universities have been stormed, tear gas, pepper spray. known activists picked up and jailed. cell towers are down. Internet is sporadic and slow, difficult to load anything. most of the video coming out is one or two minutes. Anything longer crashes before it will load. Reports are that the nutjob has appeared on TV claiming that he is decendent from the prophet himself now but no one has loaded video of it yet. I've seen quite a few reports of that already, and that my friends, is the scariest thing yet.
The Iranian youth are marching in protest, and the government is shooting them in the streets. He will keep killing them, until they shut up.
Of course, don't expect 0bama to do anything, or the rest of the international world either. Oh no. They're much too busy trying to keep those damn Jews in Judea and Samaria from having babies to pay much attention to the peaceful democratic election process in Iran.

Code Name: Opera
In the late 1970s, Iraq purchased an "Osiris class" nuclear reactor from France. Israeli military intelligence assumed this was for the purpose of plutonium production to further an Iraqi nuclear weapons program. Israeli intelligence also believed that the summer of 1981 would be the last chance to destroy the reactor without exposing the Iraqi civilian population to nuclear fallout. After that point, the reactor would be loaded with nuclear fuel.
Israel had learned that Iraq was about to receive a shipment of enriched uranium for its reactor near Baghdad -- enough to build four or five Hiroshima-size bombs, the reactor was 600 miles from Israel.
On June 7, 1981, a squadron of Israeli F-16A fighter aircraft, with an escort of F-15As, bombed and heavily damaged the Osirak reactor.
Then Prime Minister Menachem Begin ordered the attack to occur before the uranium arrived and the reactor went "hot," at which point bombing would have scattered radioactive waste over Baghdad.
Eight Israeli F-16’s took off in the late afternoon from an Israeli air base in the Sinai. Behind them six Israeli F-15’s took off, as well, to provide cover for a very special and important mission. Flying low and in a tight formation, the fighter jets passed through Jordanian and Saudi Arabian airspace undetected.
Finally, the jets enter Iraqi airspace. At 5:35 in the evening, about an hour and a half after the jets took off, they reach their target. Two minutes later Operation Opera comes to a successful conclusion. The Iraqi nuclear reactor, Osirak, has been totally destroyed.
From Lieutenant-Colonel's Ze'ev Raz - (squadron's leader and leader of the attack) briefing :
The route: "We are about to fly a course over Eilat and Aquaba, and then south of Jordan along Saudi-Arabia's border. This route is planned to avoid Arab villages and cities where we might be discovered, so we will fly over desert area until Baghdad. This is not the shortest path to fly, but it would avoid radar detection, so we will remain undetected just until we get over target. On the way to the target we will fly at an altitude of 150 ft. On our way back we will fly at high altitude. We are short on fuel ! Those who get engaged in dogfights won't make it back !"
The bombing technique: "About 20 km east to the reactor we will ignite the afterburner to full power and start a climb. At the peak we will roll over, identify the target and dive at the speed of 600 knots at 35 degrees. Release the bombs at an altitude of 3,500 feet, aiming at the base of the structure, and release flares to avoid hits by ground fire. All pilots will drop their bombs in intervals of 5 seconds - You will drop 16 bombs in total, but a hit of 8 bombs could do the job !"
The weapons : "You will be armed with two 1,000 kg "iron" bombs, equipped with delay fuses, to ensure explosion deep in the reactors core to maximize the damage."
Target defense : "The reactor has its own air defense system, combined of AAA guns and missiles. Target is surrounded by high earth ramparts."
Code-named Opera, the raid was a spectacular success.
While this operation was initially almost universally condemned by the world community, in retrospect this Israeli operation is highly praised by many.
Opera was not Israel's first preemptive act against Iraq's attempts to acquire nuclear weapons. In April 1979 unidentified saboteurs blew up reactor parts at a French port, parts awaiting shipment to Iraq. In August 1980 an Egyptian-born nuclear physicist important to Iraq's nuclear program was killed in Paris.
News of the audacious raid did not actually emerge until 24 hours later when Israel made its announcement. Only then did Iraq admit it had happened and express indignation.
One of the pilots involved was Colonel Ilan Ramon who trained as Israel's first astronaut but was killed in the Columbia shuttle disaster in 2003. He flew in Number 4 of the first formation and described the flight:
"We fly deep within Iraq, It is all desert around us while we pass another marking point on our route. I try to concentrate on flying my F-16, but from time to time I think about the target we are about to attack, and the responsibility we've got. It's the first time in my life that I really feel responsible for the destiny of a whole nation. The view changes - a blue river in the middle of the desert. We have been here 2500 years ago... I see buildings and a deserted airfield. Somebody calls over the radio : "Watch out for AAA fire !" and the sky gets filled with flashes of exploding rounds. I light the afterburner and pull up. Just in front of my eyes I see the earth ramparts and behind it - you can't miss - the silver dome of the reactor...
"Eshkol 8" sounds the radio, "Everybody Charlie!" - Charlie was the code name meaning all pilots have dropped their bombs.
It was amazing - I managed to see how the bombs of the pilots in front of me hit the target and the dome collapsed into the structure ! The hits were excellent, and now we fly at high altitude back to our base. I hope they didn't start a chase, to run us out of fuel...
We cross the Arava and we are back in Israel. The IAF commander calls on the radio, and says: "All you have to do now is land"...
Lest we forget, against all odds, on her own and on her own initiative, with complete secrecy and complete success, Israel removed a grave threat to her existence. And in doing so, Israel also removed a threat that endangered the entire free world.

Remember folks
There is no terrorist threat.
Gun and Ammo Found on US Airways Plane at PHL Airport
Two people, including a US Airways employee, were being questioned on Thursday morning after authorities at Philadelphia International Airport found a handgun and ammunition on a flight bound for Arizona. Charges were expected to be filed.
According to preliminary information from investigators, someone waiting for a flight saw another passenger hand a bag to a US Airways employee who may have been authorized to bypass the security screening line. The airline employee then handed the bag back to the second passenger, and the witness reported the incident to the TSA.
The 7:15am flight, which was already taxiing out for departure, was called back and searched.
The bag was located on the plane and found to contain an unloaded 9mm handgun and ammunition. The gun and the bag were confiscated, and the passenger and the US Airways employee were taken into custody for questioning.
The rest of the plane was searched as a precaution.The FBI, Philadelphia police, and the TSA were continuing to investigate.
Pennsylvania huh? Probably Amish, you know how extremist they can be.

From across the pond
Back in March, we watched in wonder as the Brits stood up to the moslem bastards who protested a parade in honor of the returning 2nd Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment, known as the Poachers. They've toured Iraq twice in two years. As the soldiers reached Luton Town Hall... the moslems interrupted the parade, holding signs that said "Butchers of Basra," and called the soldiers "babykillers" and "murderers."
The Brits stood up for the troops and ran the moslem cowards right off the streets. It was a proud moment.
But things in Luton are escalating, and it should come as no surprise. It seems to be a rallying point for radical islam and terror. One of the "militants" convicted of plotting to blow up the Bluewater shopping centre in Essex in 2007 came from Luton and the 7/7 London bombers congregated at Luton station before heading to King's Cross. There are claims of four Muslims from Luton who died fighting for the Taliban in Afghanistan, and two who have traveled to Gaza to be suicide bombers in Israel.
Since the parade in March and the anti-troop protest, one of the moselms who taunted the returning soldiers has had the windows of his home smashed, and his car set on fire. The words 'Scum' and 'Get out' have been daubed on his walls. Now he's under 24 hour police protection, along with his sister and and his parents. Threatening letters have been sent a local mosque and just after midnight on May 5, Luton's Islamic Centre was torched; a firebomb hurled through a window.
Just last week, the people of Luton had their own protest, against the moslem extremists, a "peaceful" protest that quickly turned violent:
Nine people have been arrested after hundreds of anti-Islamist protesters clashed with police yesterday.
The streets of Luton descended into violence after demonstrators, many hiding their faces behind balaclavas, brandished England flags and chanted at officers.
A group called March for England was said to have organised the rally as a peaceful protest against Muslim extremists. They were joined by a local group United People of Luton.
During the protest, the mob, which included teenagers and women, held banners with slogans such as 'No Sharia Law in the UK' and 'Respect our Troops'.
Some protesters wore masks with the horned face of Sayful Islam, a local hardline political agitator who led Muslim demonstrators in an anti-war protest during the Royal Anglian Regiment's homecoming parade in Luton in March.
Groups of young men in balaclavas and England shirts chanted outside the city centre and one balacava-clad protester held a Rottweiler on a chain, while others clashed with police in riot gear.
One Asian man was hit across the face with a banner and left with a bloody nose.
A spokesman for United People of Luton, Wayne King, said many people in Luton were concerned and annoyed that the Muslim community in the town had not taken steps to deal with Sayful Islam's 'hate-filled preachings'.
The 24-year-old, who wore a T-shirt with the words 'No surrender to Al-Qaeda' on it, said: 'We decided enough was enough after the soldiers got heckled as they marched through the town centre by the Muslim extremists.
'Our community has been racially attacked for the last 10 years.
'A mosque in the town got set on fire a few weeks ago and it made national news but churches in Luton are regularly being set fire to.
'We want laws brought in to stop preachers of hate operating here.'
Luton town centre was busy at the time of the riot with shoppers enjoying the sunshine.
Many of those who joined in the march had been drinking in town centre pubs.
Later on, overhead, a police helicopter monitored the movement of the mob which at one point appeared to be making in the direction of Bury Park, an area of Luton where many of the town's Asian population live.
The police believe the protest was organized and run by skinheads, and while they were certainly in attendance, they were not the only attendees. The claim that most of the attendees were men from the pubs doesn't wash either, not with the reports that there were many women and teens in attendance. I don't understand why the authorities refuse to admit that the average person is sick and tired of extremist moslems any more than I understand why they refuse to call moslems moslem and insist on calling them asians.
But we're not quite done with the news from Luton. There has been yet another interesting development:
Extremists behind anti-war protest driven off the streets by moderate Muslims
The Muslim community turned on extremists in their midst yesterday, telling them they were 'sick and tired' of their behaviour.
The angry confrontation came in Luton, where anti-Islamist protesters brandished England flags last Sunday, before clashing with police.
The latest violence erupted as arguments raged between fellow Muslims shortly after Friday morning prayers in the Bury Park area of the town.
As the radical Muslims began to set up their stall, they were surrounded by a crowd shouting 'we don't want you here' and 'move on, move on'.
So., We have a group of moslems from the firebombed mosque chasing off the other group of moslems who protested the return of the troops.
Farasat Latif, of the Islamic Centre in Luton, which was firebombed after the protest against the soldiers, said moderate members of his community took action because police had failed to move the group on.
He said the extremists, who follow the militant group led by Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammed, had fuelled feelings against the Muslim community which led to a march last Sunday in Luton which was disrupted by white, right-wing extremists.
Mr Latif said: 'We have been fighting these Muslim extremists for you. They represent nobody but themselves.
'The community decided to move them on because the police won't. We have asked them, but they did nothing.'I don't know if they will be back. We have been the victims twice over - from the stupidity of Muslim extremists who metaphorically pour petrol and fan the flames of the right-wing extremists.
'This was a peaceful demonstration and we hope they get the message that the law-abiding community is sick and tired of them.'
Well. Where have you been Mr. Latif, all this time? Why did you not speak out sooner? And where were you on July 8, 2005?
After the attack on your mosque, an attack in which no one died, you said "We strongly condemn this violent Islamaphobic attack on our mosque."
After the attack on July 7, 2005, an attack in which 56 people were killed and 700 injured, you said people were "sickened" at what had happened. You also said there was anger that a conclusion had been jumped to that the attack was carried out by al-Qaida. "We should keep an open mind," you said. An open mind to what? That maybe some Amish folks did the bombing?
You know, there's nothing like having your mosque firebombed to get you "fired up," and you sure sounded fired up today. But, other than your actions today, where and when exactly have you been fighting radical moslem extremists? You make that claim, but there is nothing to back it up.
In fact, don't some of your friends and associates agree with the jihadists? You've admited to that, and to sharing some of their doctrines in your mosque, which is after all, a Ghuraaba mosque that bases its teachings on Saudi doctrine.
Somehow, I think Latif's problem is not with what Sayful Islam is saying, it's that he's saying it out there in the streets where too many people hear it and Latif doesn't like paying the price.
I don't believe in moderate moslems, and this publicity stunt by Latif and his cohorts leaves me cold. I don't trust it, and I see a wolf trying to hide in sheep's clothing.
As for the skinheads, well, they may fight the moslems today, but I will never forget that once upon a time, their master aligned himself with the islamists to kill Jews. They are not welcome in my foxhole. In this case, the enemy of my enemy is still my enemy.
But to the good folks of Luton who stood against the moslem radicals, good on ya.

Sometimes, in the end, the right thing happens.
No Jail Time for Army Contractor in Revenge Killing
Ayala was on a foot patrol in the village of Chehel Gazni, with teammate Paula Loyd (pictured, right). Loyd, a social scientist, approached Abdul Salam, who was carrying a fuel jug. He said he had bought it, to fuel up his motorcycle. They started talking about the price of gas. Suddenly, the man doused Lloyd in a flammable liquid and set her on fire, court documents recount.
Engulfed in a ball of flame large enough to force those near her to involuntarily back away, Paula Loyd screamed in agony as the children that had surrounded her ran away. In the several seconds following the attack, no one could get near enough to Ms. Loyd to help her. Panicked, Ms. Loyd ran around briefly before those near her pulled her to the ground. One of the platoon medics tried to put the fire out with dirt, ultimately grabbing Ms. Loyd by her foot and dragging her into the nearby drainage ditch to douse the flames. By the time the fire was extinguished, all of Ms. Loyd’s clothing had been burned off and only her helmet and body armor remained. Medical personnel would later determine that Ms. Loyd suffered second and third- degree burns over more than 60% of her body.
Ayala chased Salam down, tackled him to the ground, and restrained him with plastic cuffs. ”After about 10 minutes,” according to an Army Criminal Investigation Division affidavit, “a soldier approached the location where Ayala had Salam detained and informed the personnel in the area that Loyd was burned badly. Ayala pushed his pistol against Salam’s head and shot Salam, killing him instantly.”
Ayala was taken into custody, and flown to the United States two-and-a-half weeks later. He was charged with murder — the first military contractor to be charged with such a crime under a 2000 law that allows the prosecution of U.S. government workers who commit crimes overseas.
Ayala was a former Army Ranger, and prosecutors tried to use that against him during his trial, that he should have known better, but the defense argued that the gruesome attack on Loyd had triggered “dormant combat stress injuries.” That lead to a “perfect storm” of mental duress. Ayala simply wasn’t in control of his own actions, when he shot Salam.
The end result of the trial:
Don Ayala — the U.S. Army contractor who pleaded guilty to a revenge killing in Afghanistan — won’t be going to prison. Instead, U.S. District Court Judge Claude Hilton sentenced Ayala, a member of the Army’s Human Terrain social science project, to five years probation and a $12,500 fine.
I remember the horror I felt when this first happened. I wonder if there's any way to contribute to the payment of Don's Ayala's fine, I would consider that a worthy cause.

Quote of the Day
Excerpt from "Security Before Politics" by Porter J. Goss, director of the CIA from September 2004 to May 2006 and chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence from 1997 to 2004:
The suggestion that we are safer now because information about interrogation techniques is in the public domain conjures up images of unicorns and fairy dust. We have given our enemy invaluable information about the rules by which we operate. The terrorists captured by the CIA perfected the act of beheading innocents using dull knives. Khalid Sheik Mohammed boasted of the tactic of placing explosives high enough in a building to ensure that innocents trapped above would die if they tried to escape through windows. There is simply no comparison between our professionalism and their brutality.
Our enemies do not subscribe to the rules of the Marquis of Queensbury. "Name, rank and serial number" does not apply to non-state actors but is, regrettably, the only question this administration wants us to ask. Instead of taking risks, our intelligence officers will soon resort to wordsmithing cables to headquarters while opportunities to neutralize brutal radicals are lost.
The days of fortress America are gone. We are the world's superpower. We can sit on our hands or we can become engaged to improve global human conditions. The bottom line is that we cannot succeed unless we have good intelligence. Trading security for partisan political popularity will ensure that our secrets are not secret and that our intelligence is destined to fail us.
Read the rest, here's a visual....

You ask yourself whose side he's on.
I don't have to ask. I've always known.
US wants Iran hostage suit tossed out
The Obama administration has asked a federal judge to throw out a lawsuit against Iran filed by Americans held hostage at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran 30 years ago.
The request comes in a $6.6 billion class-action lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Washington. Fifty-two American diplomats and military officials were held captive for more than a year at the end of Jimmy Carter's presidency by a group of Islamist students who supported the Iranian revolution.
The hostages were released on Jan. 20, 1981, just minutes after Ronald Reagan was sworn in as the new president.
In court papers filed Tuesday night without any announcement, the Justice Department argued that the agreement to release the hostages, known as the Algiers Accords, precluded lawsuits against Iran.
The hostages argue that Iran supported their confinement and abuse, with visits from government officials, stays in government prisons and buildings and threats of trial in Iranian courts. The lawsuit says current Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was one of their interrogators.
The lawsuit says the hostages were tortured, beaten sometimes until they lost consciousness and kept in fear of their lives, at times even lined up in front of marksmen locking their guns. It says they were imprisoned without adequate food, clothing or medical care, blindfolded with their hands tied, interrogated for hours at a time and kept in isolation for months at a time.
There is no rational reason for the President of the United States to get involved in this lawsuit, and to take such an action against American citizens to protect Ahmadinijad. It's a damn outrage, and even more than an outrage, make no mistake, it is a betrayal of American citizens by the President of the United States of America.
The media is obviously covering 0bama's tracks instead of covering this story. CNN had a quickie on it, glossed over with no details, and there was this AP blurb in the Las Vegas Sun, but if it was carried by any major news outlet, I couldn't find it and while I was looking, I found that Newsbusters was looking too and they couldn't find the story covered anywhere either. There are no questions being asked, no "journalists" doing any journalism on this.
If the media has its way, the average American will never know of this betrayal of its citizens by the same man who, less than a hundred days ago, took a vow to protect them and this country.
It didn't take long for 0bama to show us what his priorities are, did it?
So, the only real question is, whose side are you on? And once you've answered that, what are you gonna do?
Well, it's interesting to note that the latest Rasmussen poll reflects that despite the mainstream media's best efforts to put a happy face on the nightmare of this administration, "For the first time since Barack Obama was elected president last November, more than half of U.S. voters (53%) say it is at least somewhat likely that the next occupant of the White House will be a Republican. Thirty-one percent (31%) say it is Very Likely." Buyer's remorse from this election is a fact of life here in the good old USA.
So, being active in the mid-term elections is the most important thing you can do for this country, and it's something you can do right now. The seats in your state are what you should be concentrating on right now, it's time to get rid of the bastards that can't be bothered with reading a bill, or standing up for their principles or who have been sitting in their seats so long they've forgotten that we put them there to do our will.
Never mind who will be the next president, that comes later. Mid-terms are first, and if we're going to stop 0bama from destroying this country, the mid-term election is how we're gonna do it.

Introducting the Terrorist Visa
Attorney General Eric Holder, chosen by President Barack Obama to lead the administration's efforts to close the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, has begun his review of what to with prisoners hanging around and presumably suffering ill effects and mega resentments from their days of torture under the evil Bush regime.
Word is that "the administration," and that would be um,the Obama Administration, seeks to transfer some detainees to Europe or other countries while freeing others. Problem is, Europe said no. We don't want 'em, you take them. Other countries will take them, and kill them, but that offends the liberal point of view when it comes to terrorists. So the transfer is out and we're left with freeing others option and trying to figure out what they're gonna do with the non-transfer ones.
Holder told reporters at the Justice Department that the administration's review, made on a case-by-case basis, would determine whether the prisoners need to be put on trial or whether they can be released.
So we have some that will be freed, with essentially means released. Others will be put on trial or released. They can't be transferred, no one wants them. So basically, it's trial or released. So we're left with, released where? If they can't be transferred to other countries, then it stands to reason that they can't be released there either. Our options are shinking.
"For those who are in that second category, who can be released, there are a variety of options that we have. Among them is the possibility that we could release them into this country," he said.
Holder said it was possible the 17 Chinese Muslims who have been held for years at Guantanamo, and two or three others prisoners, could be freed in the United States
Yeah. You knew that was coming, didn't you. Yes. Here. Right here. Holder wants to set those terrorist free, into the good old USofA. Why? Because no other country is stupid enough to take them and if they're sent to their home country, they'll be "persecuted" and we can't have that, can we?
Amazing. Even if we're only talking about these chinese nationals, they were in al qaeda training camps learning what they need to know so they could go home to China and attack a few targets over there. Rather then send them back to China to be dealt with as they should be, the Obama Administration will set them loose on U.S. soil so they can attack a few targets here or pass their schooling along to others.
The rest of the terrorists in Gitmo, well, same problems, so, the Obama Administration is about create the Terrorist Visa, Girmo is America's new Ellis Island, gateway to the destruction of America.
Holder was wrong. We are not a nation of cowards, but a full 52% of us are idiots. And when the attacks come, when Americans start going boom in the streets and malls of America, I hate to think of how many of us who knew better will be hurt because of the stupidity of those within that 52%.

Thirty-Nine Hours of Terror, Thirty-Two Years Ago
Long before 911 and long before the 1993 WTC bombing, islam was reigning terror among us:
"A girl came in screaming, 'There are men with guns!' " Ehrlich, 83, recalled. She and others locked themselves in her boss's office, she said. "The next thing we heard were men coming in and saying, 'Unlock the door or we're going to kill you all.' "
They shattered a glass panel in the door and then took everyone downstairs, she said. "When I entered the second floor, there were bodies on top of bodies. I thought everyone was dead," she said.
One of the captors told them that "if anyone does anything wrong, he'll cut their head and throw it out of the window," she recalled.
It happened in our Nation's Capital, Washington D.C. I was 16 years old, and I lived in Brooklyn. Do I remember? No.
The siege started March 9, 1977, at a time when security was still relaxed in government buildings and hostage videos weren't a few clicks away on the Internet. It was before people searched mail for white powder or suicide bombings claimed regular headlines.
"This was an early wake-up call about violence and terrorism and the extent to which groups will go to engage in violence either for the sake of violence or to make a point," Daniel S. Mariaschin, executive vice president of B'nai B'rith International, said yesterday. "Little did we know 30 years ago that this kind of issue would be a daily concern for all of us, not only here in Washington but abroad as well."
The 12 gunmen had several demands. They wanted the government to hand over a group of men who had been convicted of killing seven relatives -- mostly children -- of takeover leader Hamaas Abdul Khaalis. They also demanded that the movie "Mohammad, Messenger of God" be destroyed because they considered it sacrilegious.
Most of the hostages, more than 100, were captured at the B'nai B'rith headquarters.
Thirty-two years before the Gaza war, islam was attacking Jews here on American soil, for percieved insults to its pedophile prophet, led by home-grown islamic terrorists, born right here in the United States of America. A journalist was killed, and Marion Barry was shot in the chest.
Hamaas Abdul Khaalis, formerly known as Ernest T. McGee, joined the Nation of Islam in an attempt to bring the sect into line with orthodox Sunni Islam. By 1956, he had become national secretary. His efforts proved unsuccessful, so in 1958, he broke with Elijah Muhammad and founded the Al-Hanif, Hanafi, Madh-Hob Center, Islam Faith, United States of America, American Mussulmans. Based in Washington DC, the Hanafis still adhere to the basic tenets of Sunni Islam.
On January 5th 1973, Khaalis sent a proclamation to a number of mosques (including Philadelphia's Temple 12) in which he excoriated Elijah Mohammad and the Black Muslims. Calling them "false prophets" and denouncing Elijah Mohammad as "a lying deceiver". On January 17th the Black Mafia crew invaded Khaalis' home. Khaalis was out. Over a period of hours seven members of his family were slaughtered, including four infants between the ages of 9 days and 22 months. The babies were drowned in a bathtub and sink. When one enforcer had qualms and asked another why the babies had to die, the answer was "because the seed of the hypocrite is in them".
Another bloody, painful chapter in American history brought to you by the death cult of islam.

Sometimes a rumor is just a rumor
You know that rumor that's going around, the one I talked about yesterday?
The rumor that Israel's Minister of Defense said during his address at the Herzliya Conference that Obama was going to lift the Bush sanctions on Iran:
The United States has abandoned its policy of sanctioning companies that aid Iran's nuclear and missile program, they said.
The officials said the new Obama administration of has decided to end sanctions against Iranian government agencies or companies that aid Teheran's missile and nuclear program. The officials said Israel has been informed of the new U.S. policy.
"We were told that sanctions do not help the new U.S. policy of dialogue with Iran," an official said.
Barak confirmed the new U.S. policy. In an address to the Herzliya Conference on Feb. 3, Barak said Washington did not say whether it would resume sanctions against Iran.
The rumor that was published in that pay per view article at Geostrategy-Direct, an open source intelligence (OSINT) newsletter that is supposed to have a good track record?
Well, I had doubts, big time and it bugged me all day. So, I did a bit of investigation and now, I'm about ready to call bullshit on this one.
You see, I can tell you right now that Geostrategy-Direct most certainly did not get that information from Ehud Barak's address at the 2009 Herzliya Conference and I can tell you that with certainty because I just listened to Barak's entire presentation and Barak most certainly did not say anything about Obama lifting sanctions against Iran.
Absolutely, positively not. And if you have any doubts, you can listen to it yourself.
Now, in all fairness, I haven't seen the Geostrategy-Direct article, only the claims that say the article is based on Ehud Barak's address at the Herziya Conference. Now that we know Ehud Barak did not speak those words during his presentation at the Conference, the question is, if he really did say those words, when did he say them and why is there no confirmation of this anywhere by anyone.
After listening to what Ehud Barak did say about Obama in his presentation, I don't think he said what Geostrategy-Direct claims he said. If you listen to the presentation, you'll see what I mean.
Here's a funny thing... after thinking about it all day, I wouldn't have been surprised to find that it was true and now I almost expect that Obama will lift those sanctions, because that's the kind of man he is. But I don't think Ehud Barak expects it for the same reason, because that's the kind of man he is.
UPDATE:
I'd like to extend a warm welcome to my visitors from the NY Times:
Feel free to look around. Who knows... ya might learn something...

Today's Really Scary Rumor
Found at Gateway Pundit via Israel Matzav, the word comes via Tel Aviv where Israel's Defense Minister Ehud Barak reports that United States President Barack Hussein Obama has decided to lift all sanctions against Iran. Supposedly, it's based on an address given by outgoing Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak at the Herzliya conference last week:
The United States has abandoned its policy of sanctioning companies that aid Iran's nuclear and missile program, they said.
The officials said the new Obama administration of has decided to end sanctions against Iranian government agencies or companies that aid Teheran's missile and nuclear program. The officials said Israel has been informed of the new U.S. policy.
"We were told that sanctions do not help the new U.S. policy of dialogue with Iran," an official said.
[Israeli Defense Minister Ehud] Barak confirmed the new U.S. policy. In an address to the Herzliya Conference on Feb. 3, Barak said Washington did not say whether it would resume sanctions against Iran.
"We must arrive at a strategic understanding with the United States over Iran's military nuclear program and ensure that even if at this time they opt for the diplomatic option, it will only last a short time before harsh and necessary sanctions are imposed," Barak said.
Obama decided to end sanctions against Iran after determining that the U.S. measures had failed to block Teheran's missile or nuclear weapons program, officials said. Under the administration of former President George Bush, the United States accelerated sanctions on Iran in 2008.
In his address, the Israeli defense minister indicated that Obama had forged an entirely new approach toward Iran. He said the Israeli government has sought a briefing from the new U.S. administration.
A U.S. defense source said the White House would no longer enforce sanctions imposed by the Bush administration. The source said the decision has already been relayed to Iran.
"The administration has abandoned sanctions entirely," the U.S. source said. "It is a completely new ballgame."
I refuse to believe this. It cannot be true.
G-d help us if it is.

And now.... the news
In case you're wondering what's happening out there in the world tonight, here it is, according to CNN:
Wow! Benjamin Button, a prison fight in Florida, an arson investigation, Obama cashing in on some political capital, and the market bracing for some "awful news." Oh, and an exclusive tribute to Obama, something about 'Lipstick Jungle' thefts, they got an important article about what tots want Obama to accomplish, some crap about Michelle Obama and the great fashion debate, more crap about the Year of the Ox and an anti-Bush article titled "No love for Bush," along with an oh-so-important blurb about why women should feel good naked. That's the news according to CNN tonight.
So. If you want to know what's happening, forget about CNN. There's important stuff going on out there and if you want to know about it, you have to look elsewhere.

This is Fort Lauderdale
on January 15, 2009.
and once again, these are the people in my neighborhood, shouting "Go Go Hitler, he should have finished you off."
Yes, these are my neighbors, essentially calling for the killing of Jews on the streets of America. I can't dismiss this, no, I can't, so don't ask me to. Because when they call for the killing of Jews, they're talking about me, that's right, they're talking about killing me, my family, my loved ones, my people. No, I can't dismiss it, because one of those bastards looked mighty familiar, but I'm just not sure from where.
You know, I always say I live in paradise. Beautiful sunny South Florida. Sigh. I guess I can't say that anymore, because it looks like paradise is well on its way to becoming just another moslem shithole.
It might be time to move but where do I go?
P.S. before I forget, special thanks go to my friend Joe Kaufman of Americans Against Hate for taking the video, and sending it to me. AAH does good things. Support them if you can.

Home Sweet Home
in Gaza:
I guess I just didn't realize that innocent peace loving people always keep rockets and explosives hidden in secret compartments in the bathroom, and that doing such a thing is not only perfectly acceptable but in reality, it's just an indication of a how peaceful a person truly is. Silly me!
You have to admit though, it does have somewhat of a negative impact on property values.
Oh well.

This is America
Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Eighteen miles from my home. and yeah, I've been there, in fact, I used to work right around the corner.
Right here in beautiful Sunny South Florida, a young moslem woman, joined by three hundred other moslem and various American leftists, "peace activists," and obvious obama supporters, screams in the street for the mass murder of Jewish people, crying out for ovens, for Jews to be put into ovens, for Jewish people to be nuked, to be killed.
Make no mistake, that would be me she is talking about killing. She is calling out on the streets of South Florida for me to be killed, she is calling out on the streets of America to put me to death, to put my family to death, to put me and my family into an oven. There she stands, surrounded by several hundred others, all of them like minded, all of them wanting the same thing, for people to rise up, to kill the Jews, to put the Jews into an oven, to kill me and to kill my family. Such is the "beauty" of islam.
This woman is calling for my death. She is my neighbor, I could pass her on the street tomorrow or the next day or next week. She could be the woman next in line at the grocery store, or in the car behind me on the way to work, she could be at the lunch counter, or the dry cleaners, or the drug store, or the gas station, or anywhere, and she wants to kill me.
Good thing I'm armed, huh?

They came in Peace
Twenty-five years ago today, Hezbullah, under what is believed to be the direct orders of Iran, made their largest and most successful attack against America.
"Their loss is not in vain and we will not break faith with them in the tasks we have ahead... We did not know they would be the first casualties -- among the first -- in the war on terrorism" - Lt. Gen. Jan C. Huly, USMC
In Lebanon, we have some 1,600 Marines, part of a multinational force that's trying to help the people of Lebanon restore order and stability to that troubled land. Our Marines are assigned to the south of the city of Beirut, near the only airport operating in Lebanon. Just a mile or so to the north is the Italian contingent and not far from them, the French and a company of British soldiers.
This past Sunday, at 22 minutes after 6 Beirut time, with dawn just breaking a truck, looking like a lot of other vehicles in the city, approached the airport on a busy, main road. There was nothing in its appearance to suggest it was any different than the trucks or cars that were normally seen on and around the airport. But this one was different. At the wheel was a young man on a suicide mission.
The truck carried some 2,000 pounds of explosives, but there was no way our Marine guards could know this. Their first warning that something was wrong came when the truck crashed through a series of barriers, including a chain-link fence and barbed wire entanglements. The guards opened fire, but it was too late. The truck smashed through the doors of the headquarters building in which our Marines were sleeping and instantly exploded. The four-story concrete building collapsed in a pile of rubble.
More than 200 of the sleeping men were killed in that one hideous, insane attack. Many others suffered injury and are hospitalized here or in Europe. This was not the end of the horror. At almost the same instant, another vehicle on a suicide and murder mission crashed into the headquarters of the French peacekeeping force, an eight-story building, destroying it and killing more than 50 French soldiers.
President Ronald Reagan, 27th Oct. 1983,
Our Marines on sentry duty had their ammunition clips in their pockets. There were no barriers around the barracks, other than a bit of wood and plaster. When the bomb blew, the building was lifted off its foundation. When it came down, it collapsed in a heap of cinder blocks, plaster, and dust. All told, 241 Americans lost their lives in the blast. It was the worst day for the Marines since the battle of Iwo Jima and the worst day for the US military since the first day of the Tet Offensive in Viet Nam.
25 years have come and gone. Our first duty is to remember.
If you have a minute, visit the Beirut Veterans Organization, and lend your support to the Beirut Stamp Initiative.
Thank you Kevin.

Taking it to the Streets
The United States of America can learn a lesson from Denmark, and what happens when a government places the rights and values of its own people behind a group of lawless, violent immigrants. That lesson would be that those very people will form their own groups and defend themselves, with violence. This is a bitter and terrible solution to something which could have been fixed so easily by simple acts of legislation.
The end result, in Denmark, ordinary citizens are joining for outlaw bikers gangs who are ready, willing and able to fight the moslem hordes because the police will not.
The Hell’s Angels biker group is experiencing a flood of new applications for membership, in particular for its support group AK81.
AK81 is a support group for the Hell’s Angels. The acronym stands for the Danish words Altid Klar (Always Ready), while 81 are the alphabet numbers for H and A.
The increase in membership enquiries comes in connection with a showdown in recent weeks between immigrant groups and the Hell’s Angels as well as shows of strength by Hell’s Angels members who have walked the streets of Copenhagen and Århus en masse.
A concerned police force has, however, registered the flood of interest in being recruited to what is termed the Hell’s Angels ‘mini-army’.
“We are worried that this is escalating and involving more and more people,” says Deputy Chief Superintendant Jørgen Isalin of the National Investigation Support Centre.
“It’s all going very fast now and there is no doubt that more and more people are joining. This is also happening on the other side too where large numbers of anti-social youths are supporting criminal immigrant groups who cause trouble in the streets and are provoking the Hell’s Angels,” he says.
Lines are being drawn in Denmark, lines between the lawless moslem gangs and the lawless biker gangs, and the police crackdowns are strangely one sided, the bikers go to jail and the moslems go free.
The police, who have used all their resources at keeping the bikers in check, have used a far more soft touch towards the muslim gangs. Very often the police withdraw from confrontations, and leave demolishing hordes of immigrants untouched, contrary to a simple house search or an arrrest relating to the Bikers’ gangs, when they arrive in overwhelming numbers, ready with bullet proof vests and submachine guns.
Only little more than a week ago, a gang of about 50 immigrants rampaged a whole street in Copenhagen Jægersborgsgade, a local neighborhood where some HA members have their homess, indiscriminately smashing up a number of cars. The police watched helplessly, and no arrests were made. The action was a display off of power, after bikers and their new supporter from AK81, had held a silent and non violent march through to demonstrate their willingness to fight for their turf.
Partly this is part of a government and EU strategy, which puts great restrictions on the police when dealing with immigrants and immigrant gangs. There always are the accusations of ‘racism’, and the muslim gangs are also much feared than the bikers when it comes to their threats to harm individual police officers or their families. Many policemen whose identities are known by the immigrant gangs, would rather not have their house torched or their loved ones attacked by the invaders who have taken their extremely violent mentality with them straight from the Middleast.
Being virulently anti-illegal immigration, I would support such actions by law abiding citizens here in this country against illegal immigrant and their gangs and being generally islamophobic, I would support such actions against rioting moslems as well, especially if they try to pull the same shit here as they do in Europe.
When you consider the crime statistics of illegal immigrants and the costs to Americans of illegal immigration, it's just a matter of time before Americans themselves begin to take matters into their own hands, seeing how our law enforcement agencies turn the other cheek and our government not only refuses to protect us, but continually increases our burden.
While reading up on the issue, I came across this little tidbit:
Perhaps this is the beginning of the real resistance.
When government fails to protect its citizens from violent gangs, it creates a vacuum, and it’s only natural that violent gangs should move in to fill the void. They’re not the kind of people with whom one would sit down to tea and crumpets, but they’ll get the job done.
The good burghers of Whoville sleep peacefully in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. But what if the only rough men that are available are the kind we don’t want to associate with? What if the only people willing to defend our race are… well, racists?
I personally know people in Britain who are going to hold their noses and vote for the BNP. They’re not in the slightest bit racist or anti-Semitic, but the BNP is the only party which is willing to stand up for the country and support a traditional British identity.
That’s why I believe in opening lines of communication to people in all parties that seriously oppose the Great Jihad. Rather than wait until these parties expel all the anti-Semites and become perfect, why not look for those members who already have the opinions we want, but who support the party because they think it’s their only hope?
The anti-Semitism will fall away naturally anyway for a party that wants to become a viable national force. Serious anti-Semites will defect to the other side, because the Muslims are their natural allies, and the rest of us aren’t.
We don’t have the luxury of waiting until all parties become perfect. There isn’t enough time. Make no mistake about it: the big crisis is on its way, and it will reach parts of Europe in ten years or less.
When the time comes, what if the only people who are willing to stand up and oppose Islam are the “racists”? What will the fascistophobes recommend then? That we lie down and die rather than have any truck with race-nationalists? That we submit to the jihad rather than violate the pristine righteousness of our moral state?
In 2020, or 2015, or 2012, as the twilight of Sharia rolls across the land, those who would remain pure in their non-racist principles will still be wringing their hands and wincing in distaste, right up until the last moment, when the cry of “Allahu Akhbar!” resounds as the knife descends upon their necks.
So anyone who intends to survive that moment may want to lie down with the dogs now, even if it means getting up with fleas later. There will be plenty of time afterwards for flea powder — assuming that the Great Jihad can be defeated.
Would you rather be right, or effective?
Ah. The enemy of my enemy argument. The problem is, the only thing the Hells Angels are willing to fight for is control of illegal drug trade and other criminal activity, and at last report, they're busy negotating a truce and turf deal with the moslems.
Reality is, a deal with the devil is just that, a deal with the devil. But law abiding citizens protecting home and hearth, fighting criminals rather than accept and submit, well. That's another story, and one I can get behind and support.

The Stark Reality
Just last month, a federal jury in Toledo, Ohio convicted three local men--Mohammad Amawi, Marwan El-Hindi, and Wassim Mazloum--of all criminal charges filed against them, including plotting attacks against U.S. troops fighting in Iraq. The case involved one of the largest collection of terrorist propaganda seized by the FBI right here on US soil.
Sometime prior to June 2004 all three defendants engaged in a conspiracy that involved firearms training and instructions to build improvised explosive devices and suicide bomb vests, the Justice Department said.
They also sought to recruit others to participate in jihad training, solicited funding for the training, and proposed sites for training in firearms, explosives and hand-to-hand combat, the department said in a statement.
It took the jury less than two days to decide. During the investigation of the three men—Mohammed Amawi, Marwan El-Hindi, and Wassim Mazloum—FBI agents uncovered a wealth of incriminating evidence indicating that the men were habitual users of such notorious terrorist websites as Muntada al-Ansar and Al-Ekhlaas. Evidence seized from Marwan El-Hindi included login information for an account on the Al-Ekhlaas discussion forum which, in February 2005, was used to post a message which proclaimed to other Al-Ekhlaas users, “I am a terrorist. Please add my name to the list of wanted terrorists. I am a Palestinian Muslim from the Army of Mohammed, may Peace be Upon Him. Terrorist, Terrorist, Terrorist, Terrorist, Terrorist, Terrorist, Terrorist!”
Please take note, Amawi is a dual Jordanian-U.S. citizen, El-Hindi is a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Jordan and Mazloum is a U.S. legal permanent resident from Lebanon, and they face maximum sentences of life imprisonment.
C. Frank Figliuzzi, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Cleveland Division said:
This case demonstrates the stark reality of home-grown terrorism. If a plot like this can be developed in Toledo, Ohio, it can happen anywhere,"
And yet, according to the Justice Department:
Sentences will be determined after review by the court and "in most cases, it will be less than the maximum,"
Well. That certainly makes me feel safer, how about you?
If scum like this are not shot while trying to escape and actually live long enough to be tried for their crimes, a conviction should come with the death penalty, to be carried out immediately. Otherwise, mark my words, if we keep scum like this alive, sooner or later, we will have a situation like Israel has, our people will be kidnapped and held as hostage to their release.
Its just a matter of time.

Today's Moderate Moslems
"Former USF Student Agrees To Plead Guilty To Aiding Terrorists"
TAMPA – Former University of South Florida student Ahmed Mohamed has agreed to plead guilty to providing material support to terrorists, according to a signed 12-page plea agreement entered onto the docket in U.S. District Court.
Mohamed, an Egyptian citizen, was arrested, along with another student, Youssef Megahed, in North Carolina in August after deputies said they found explosive materials in their trunk.
Authorities charged Mohamed with trying to help terrorists in connection with a video they said he made and posted to the Web site YouTube. On the video, authorities said, he showed how to use a remote-controlled toy to detonate a bomb.
Under the terms of the plea deal, prosecutors have agreed to dismiss other charges, including counts in an indictment alleging he illegally transported explosives. The maximum penalty for the charge to which Mohamed will plead guilty is 15 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.
But but but...
"They just had fireworks. They were just "naive kids," said Ahmed Bedier, Executive Director of the Counsel For Islamic American Relations (CAIR). They were just guilty of DWM, Driving While Muslim, right? 'Had they been two white kids nobody would be asking any questions."
Yeah. Right. Sure.
The plea agreement describes the 12-minute YouTube video in detail, and says Mohamed told investigators his intention in making and distributing the recording was to support attempts by terrorists to murder employees of the United States, including members of the military engaged in their official duties.
Mohamed said he made the video in his Tampa apartment and uploaded it using the screen name Michaljebral. He said he wanted to teach "martyrdoms" and "suiciders" how to save themselves so they could continue to fight the invaders, the plea agreement states.
Mohamed said he considered the U.S. Military and those fighting with the U.S. military in Arab countries to be invaders.
You can be sure that these moderate moslems have moderate moslem friends but we'll never know who and where they are, and we'll never know what they are planning, because we can't interrogate the terrorists we catch with any amount of aggression. "Pretty please" won't get us anywhere and sooner or later, these moderate moslems are going to get lucky, and kill a bunch of innocent Americans.
They're coming for us, and if you don't believe that, well, here are a few more moderate moslems, showing their love for us infidels:
Remember... there is no terrorist threat. Go have a cold beer, eh?

Why They Lose
Britian unveils its plan to combat terrorism:
Islamic extremists could escape prosecution and instead receive therapy and counselling under new Government plans to "deradicalise" religious fanatics.
...the new plan makes clear that people who fall under the influence of violent organisations will not automatically face prosecution.
Instead, the presumption should be that some such individuals would face therapy and counselling from community groups instead of criminal charges.
You know who needs therapy? Those friggin nutjob liberals who actually believe terrorists can be talked out of being terrorists.

Move along...
A Muslim convert was being held tonight after two bombs were found in a family restaurant toilet following an explosion at lunchtime.
Police and bomb disposal teams were called in after a young white man apparently attempted to detonate a nail bomb.
Diners heard three blasts which sounded like gunshots go off in a toilet at the Giraffe cafe in Exeter city centre as they were having lunch today.
Eyewitnesses said officers had to break down the cubicle door because the 22-year-old refused to come out.
When he emerged, wearing jeans and a dark t-shirt, blood was running down his face and all over his clothes.
He was arrested at the scene and taken to hospital, where he is under armed guard, for treatment to a severely lacerated eye and facial burns. None of the customers or 15 staff at the restaurant was hurt.
There were claims the suspect was a Muslim convert and detectives are now trying to determine whether he has links to Islamic extremism.
Devon and Cornwall police refused to say what offence he was being held on suspicion of but sources close to the inquiry now fear the man was arming a bomb when part of it blew up in his face.
Police revealed that a second device had been found nearby.
Police forensic teams are believed to have recovered one or two canisters of sodium-based home made explosive either from the toilet or outside the restaurant.
Remember... there is no terrorist threat.

Terrorists for Obama
Now here's an endorsement Obama can be proud of:
... the Hamas terrorist organization has expressed the "hope" that Senator Barack Hussein Obama will win the presidential elections and change America's foreign policy.
Even though Obama has said that he would not meet with Hamas unless it renounces violence and recognizes Israel, or becomes the recognized leadership of the Palestinians -- he has no qualms about holding talks with the leadership of Iran, Syria, and North Korea -- that doesn't seem to bother the Hamas leadership.
"We like Mr. Obama, and we hope that he will win the elections," Ahmed Yousuf, Hamas' top political adviser in the Gaza Strip, said in an exclusive interview with World Net Daily and with the John Batchelor Show on WABC Radio in New York.
He saw Obama's comments about Hamas as political posturing that was understandable to lull supporters of Israel before the election.
"I understand American politics and this is the season for elections and everybody tries to sound like he's a friend of the Israelis," he said. All that would change if Obama would get elected. "I hope Mr. Obama and the Democrats will change the political discourse....
I bet you won't see that in your morning paper, but you can listen to it here:
Amazing! This Hamasshole, the chief political whatever for Hamas, claims that "eveyone knows Hamas is moderate movement," blames their reputation for being terrorists on Israeli propaganda, and claims the rockets Hamas fires on Israeli citizens are "self defense." Most amazingly, Hamas is the claiming to be the victim.
UPDATE: Barack Obama’s campaign said yesterday it is “flattered” that Hamas’ endorsement of the Illinois senator compared him to John F. Kennedy...
I said he'd be proud and I was right.

Life in an islamic state part II
As a follow up to this:
You'll be happy to know that Yemen's islamic court has decided to terminate her "marriage" because she had not yet reached puberty and...
The court also ordered the child's family to pay about $250 in compensation to the 30-year-old ex-husband.
In poverty sticken Yemen, that's a nice chunk of change, paid to a pedophile, as compensation for losing his child bride. No word on what the child's future will hold, but hey, at least they didn't stone her to death for her sexual transgressions. I'm sure the family has plans for her, after all, they will have to restore their honor, won't they?

Today's Oxymoron
Muslim Scholar:
Yep. Pope Benedict XVI is a "is Jewish agent planted in Vatican."
That was shamelessly stolen from SteynOnline. I might have some of my own commentary on it, if I could stop laughing long enough to write some.
Maybe later.

How did that happen?
I've been chosen for tracking by the NY Times Editors? Now that's just too funny!

In case you forgot...
A gang of British Muslims planned to blow up seven planes within hours in the biggest terrorist atrocity since 9/11, a court heard yesterday.
Two thousand passengers would have died in the plot by eight fanatics working "in the name of Islam", the jury was told.
It could have involved up to 18 suicide bombers. And they were almost ready to strike.
The jets they targeted would all have been bound from Heathrow to cities in the U.S. and Canada, it was claimed.
Once the first had exploded the authorities would have had to watch, powerless, as the six others were downed.
Plastic soft-drink bottles were to be the murder weapon - filled with explosive and connected to a detonator.
Had it been successful, the death toll would have far eclipsed the 52 killed on July 7, 2005, when four suicide bombers detonated their rucksacks on the London transport system.
And if the conspirators chose to blow themselves up over land, the number of casualties in the air and on the ground could have exceeded the Twin Towers attacks in which nearly 3,000 died.
Here they are... having their day in court, complete with laptop...
Plastic Oasis and Lucozade bottles were to be used by the plotters to make their liquid bombs.
A hypodermic syringe would be inserted into the base to draw out the drink and the bomb mixture would be injected in its place.
A homemade detonator called hexamethylene triperoxide and also known as HMTD would be made from a mixture of household and commercial ingredients and disguised in AA batteries.
Bulbs and wires would connect the bomb mixture with disposable cameras to trigger a charge to set it off.
... the fanatics hoped to hoodwink airport security officers by putting pornographic magazines and condoms in their hand luggage to indicate that they could not be Muslim zealots, the court was told.
Know thy enemy... it is Islam.

Child Stabs President Bush to Death and Turns the White House into a Mosque in a Hamas TV Puppet Show
Following is an excerpt from a puppet show, which aired on Al-Aqsa TV on March 30, 2008.
Bush: Who are you? What brings you to my home? How did they let you in, boy? My guards! My soldiers! Get this boy out of here.
Child: Nobody will take me out of here.
Bush: Who are you to come here and threaten me?! You are on my own turf, you little child, you! Get out. My dear, bring your father, your grandfather, or your mother, so I can talk to them. Get somebody older and smarter than you. What, you came here on your own?
Child: You killed daddy in the Iraq war. It's true, you killed him in the Iraq war. As for my mom – you and the criminal Zionists killed her in Lebanon. You and the criminal Zionists also killed my younger and older brothers in the Gaza holocaust. I'm an orphan, you criminal!
Bush: What are you talking about? Where did you come from? Don't I have enough troubles already? Where did you come from?
Child: I have come to take revenge with this sword – revenge for my mother and my sisters. You are a criminal, Bush! You are despicable. You made me an orphan! You took everything from me, Bush! I must take revenge on you, with this sword of Islam, the Prophet's Al-Battar sword.
Bush: No... No, my dear. I give you my word that this is it. I repent, just don't kill me. Where are my guards? Where are my people? Help! Help! He wants to kill me. Help!
Child: There are no guards, and your people have surrendered, Bush. I have not come alone, Bush. I have brought thousands of thousands of children from Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Afghanistan. You have denied all these children their fathers and mothers. That's why I have come to take revenge on you and on all the criminal traitors who collaborated with you.
Bush: Okay, fine, that's enough. I will give you whatever you want from me.
Child: What can you give me? All I want is one thing. Bring back my father and mother. I don't want anything from you. I don't want anything from you, just bring back my father and mother. I place my trust in Allah. I need to kill you.
Bush: No, my dear. Enough. I will give you anything you want. I also... Enough with that. Come with all your friends to the White House. I will give you food and toys. We will sit in the White House and talk. You will get whatever you need.
Child: You are impure, Bush, so you are not allowed inside the White House.
Bush: What are you saying?! Why am I not allowed into the White House?
Child: Because it has been turned into a great mosque for the nation of Islam. I will kill you just like Mu'az killed Abu Lahab. I will kill you, Bush, because that is your fate.
Child stabs Bush repeatedly
Child: Ahhh, I killed him.
You can be sure that the next generation of "palestinians" will be even more bloodthirsty and murderous as this generation, and the generation before, and the generation before, and the generation before. In the arab world, that's called progress.
And like the generation before, and the generation before, and the generation before, this next generation has no conscience, no soul, no compassion, no empathy, no values. They desire only death and destruction, that is the sum total of their hopes and dreams and that is their only goal.
This next generation will be coming for you, and for your children, and they'll be bringing their guns and their bomb belts and yes, their swords, all which have been paid for with your tax dollars. It is what they have been raised to do, trained to do, it is what they have been born to do. And make no mistake, with every condemnation of Israel, with every U.N. Resolution, with every bit of support from the international community, with every "Free Palestine" rally on the streets of the world, with every U.S. dollar sent, it is what America and the rest of the world is helping them to do.

Its Islamic Awareness Month
at the University of Miami:
Muslims students at the University of Miami have organized for the Islamic call to prayer, broadcasted each Friday afternoon this month from Richter Library's clock tower in commemoration of Islamic Awareness Month.
The call to prayer, or Adhan, is spoken in Arabic and is meant to resonate throughout the area.
"It serves as constant reminder of when we have to pray, because prayer itself is a reminder of our religion and how we practice it," said Selima Jumarali, the vice president of the organization.
According to the teachings of Islam, Muslims are to pray five times a day. In Muslim-majority countries, the call is usually performed live by an individual and is heard before every prayer.
Friday afternoon was chosen as the time to play the call because "it revolves around the day of congregational prayer," Jumarali said. Like Saturday for Jews or Sunday for Christians, Friday "holds strong significance for Muslims," she said.
Outside the library last Friday, students listened during the three-minute recording.
Kaleena Salgueiro said that although she could not understand the words in Arabic, the call was "pretty" and "very melodic." She said it reminded her of chanting in a monastery.
When asked whether they thought the Friday prayer call should be continued even after the month, many replied "why not?"
"It brings true variety to the university and open appreciation to diversity, especially in these times when people have misunderstandings of Muslims and who we are," she said.
Misunderstandings of moslems and who they are? Yeah. Sure. Everything I need to know about Islam, I learned from the history books, and from watching what they have done in the Middle East, and from what they have done, and continue to do to Israel. That knowledge was further expanded on September 11, 2001 and further expanded through the years of hijackings, kidnappings, the cartoon riots, the bombings of schools and malls in Iraq, the beheadings, honor killings, hangings, stonings, mutilations...
To me, the "moslem call to prayer" sounds like the "Death to America" chanting that is so popular wherever moslems gather.
Still, yannow, they broadcast the Bible over loudspeakers during Christian Awareness Month and they broadcast the Torah over loudspeakers during Jewish Awareness Month, right?
Wrong. There is no Christian Awareness Month, no Jewish Awareness Month, no Buddist Awareness Month, no Athiest Awareness Month, although I'm sure there are plenty of Christians, Jews, Buddists and Athiests on Campus. Oh no no no, and nope. There is only Islam Awareness Month.
I don't know about you, but I'm damn sick and tired of being aware of Islam.

In defiance, Iranians strip naked in public.
Woman in Iran strolling down the sidewalk naked:
and... Transsexual/Transvestite? takes off shirt to show bra at night
This last one is supposed to be a porno hack of a billboard in Karaj.
I can't vouch for their authenticity, I found them and a few others at the site linked above, via Bloggie.
I won't pass judgment but, if they are authentic, it seems to me as futile as "naked bike rides for peace" and a really stupid way to get yourself killed.

Thirty-Eight Years Ago Today
March 6, 1970 at 11:55 a.m.
Three members of the radical activist group known as the Weather Underground, Diana Oughton, Ted Gold and Terry Robbins, blew themselves straight to hell when the bomb they were building, which was intended to blow up a dance at Fort Dix, exploded in an otherwise quiet New York neighborhood.
Had they been better bomb-makers, instead of killing themselves, they would have killed an untold number of American soldiers. In the name of peace.
Luckily, the Weathermen's expertise at bomb-making left much to be desired.
The Weathermen's hatred of the United States manifested itself in the bombings of the U.S. Capitol building, New York City Police Headquarters, the Pentagon, and the National Guard offices in Washington, D.C. The Weathermen's leader, Bill Ayers summed up the Weathermen's ideology as follows: "Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, Kill your parents."
The Weathermen were radicals. They wanted their people to get involved, demonstrate, get arrested and force change down the throat of the "establishment." They fought at the Democratic Presidential Convention in 1968 and converged in Chicago in 1969 for an event that came to be known as "Days of Rage." The more violent extremists during that era were responsible for a score of bombings in places like Harvard University, various corporate headquarters and a number of government institutions. They praised Charles Manson and freed Dr. Timothy Leary from prison. Wherever there was violence and chaos in the name of dissent, the Weathermen were there.
Meet Bernadine Dohrn, leader of the Weather Underground:
At a "War Council" in Flint, Michigan in 1969, their leader Bernardine Dohrn praised the serial murderer Charles Manson: "Dig it. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them. They even shoved a fork into the victim's stomach. Wild." She then proclaimed that the time had come to launch the war against "Amerikkka" (the Weathermen always spelled America this way) and to form a Weather Underground to carry out terrorist activities.
The Weathermen claimed credit for 25 bombings over the next several years. They set bombs at the rebuilt Haymarket statue; a bathroom at the Pentagon; the Capitol barber shop; the New York City police headquarters; and a variety of other targets.
Dohrn's husband, Bill Ayers confessed that the bomb that killed the aforementioned Weather Underground members in New York was an anti-personnel weapon filled with nails and screws that would have killed or injured many at the Fort Dix dance. Ayers has recently, publicly acknowledged his feeling that his group should, in his opinion, have set off even more bombs.
For those of you who might be wondering where the rest of the Weathermen are, you need only look to our Universities, Bar Associations, and, the ACLU. That’s right. The ACLU. The unrepentant Dohrn is currently a law professor at Northwestern University. She also serves on the Board of the American Civil Liberties Union and committees of the American Bar Association. Her husband, and co-leader of the Weathermen Bill Ayers, is now Professor of Education at the University of Illinois. Teaching our children. Dig it.
Dohrn, Ayers and other members of the Weather Underground are currently under investigation in connection with a police officer killed by a bomb in 1970.
If they are indicted, they will likely have an easy time finding a lawyer since Ramsey Clark is no longer busy in Iraq, and Lynne Stewart, who has represented other members of the Weather Underground, received only a slap on the hand after her conviction for helping terrorists by smuggling messages of violence from one of her imprisoned clients -- the radical Egyptian sheik behind the 1993 WTC Bombing-- to his terrorist disciples on the outside.
Oh, and by the way... Weather Underground member Susan Rosenberg, implicated in the Nyack robbery, and Linda Evans, at different times wanted on a number of criminal charges, were apprehended carrying 740 pounds of explosives in 1985. Both acknowledged that the explosives were to be used to carry out additional bombings. Rosenberg was given 58 years in prison, Evans 40.
President Bill Clinton pardoned both women.

I fear we have we have already forgotten
Today is the 15th anniversary of the bombing of the World Trade Center parking garage on February 26, 1993.
Seven Americans were murdered (including an unborn baby carried by one of the adult victims). Over 1,000 were injured.
The mastermind of the bombing, Ramzi Yousef, was convicted in 1998 and is presently rotting away in in prison. The spiritual leader of the terrorists who conducted the bombing, Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, is also rotting away in prison and will hopefully croak soon. Their attorney, Lynne Stewart, was convicted of helping them plot and execute additional attacks on our country from their jail cell by carrying messages to their terrorist minions.
Only a few weeks before the bombing, the blind sheikh, who had been in constant communication with his co-conspirators, had attracted a crowd of followers at a Brooklyn rally. “God has obliged us to perform jihad,” he thundered. “The battalions of Islam and its divisions must be in a state of continuous readiness . . . to hit their enemies with strength and power.”The “enemies at the foremost of the work against Islam,” he declared, were “America and the allies.” For them, he had a warning:
If those who have the right [to have something] are terrorists then we are terrorists. And we welcome being terrorists. And we do not deny this charge to ourselves. And the Qur’an makes it among the means to perform jihad for the sake of Allah, which is to terrorize the enemies of God and our enemies too. . . . Then we must be terrorists and we must terrorize the enemies of Islam and frighten them and disturb them and shake the earth under their feet.
A small stone memorial in honor of the victims of the 1993 bombing was erected in the WTC. Of course, it's nothing but a memory now, it was destroyed in the 9/11/01 attacks along with 2,996 innocent people whose lives were taken by islamic terrorists.
We should never forget the 1993 WTC bombing and the victims:
* John DiGiovanni, Valley Stream, New York
* Robert Kirkpatrick, Suffern, New York
* Steve Knapp, Manhattan, New York City
* Monica Smith, Seaford, New York (and unborn baby)
* William Macko, Bayonne, New Jersey
* Wilfredo Mercado, Brooklyn, New York City
A few months after September 11, 2001, I found myself in a coversation about it with an attorney, and he said the most amazing thing about September 11, 2001. He said to me, "well, it is the first act of terrorism on US soil." I had to remind of the events of February 26, 1993 because, well, as you can see, he had already forgotten.
The bomb in the garage was intended to cause one tower to fall into the other, and additional attacks were planned for the UN Building, the FBI Headquarters the Holland Tunnel, the Lincoln Tunnel, and the George Washington Bridge.
"My impression was that fighting terrorism, in general, and fighting al Qaeda, in particular, were an extraordinarily high priority in the Clinton administration -- certainly no higher priority. There were priorities probably of equal importance such as the Middle East peace process, but I certainly don't know of one that was any higher in the priority of that administration." Former Counter-Terrorism Official Richard Clark, during the 9/11 Commission Hearings
You have to wonder what alternate reality Mr. Clark was living in, as, rather than treat this attack as a declaration of war, the Clinton Administration chose to treat it as crime, using law enforcement agencies to investigate. And, two weeks after the 1993 WTC attack, President Clinton was at a defense plant talking about retoolling defense plants to peacetime production, at a cost of $1.5 billion dollars.
In all fairness, the FBI investigation did result in the arrest and conviction of the terrorists who carried out the attack, but still, the trial did not bring awareness of the extent of the threat to America, instead, it lulled us into a false sense of security, believing that the bad guys were caught, convicted and locked up.
Nothing could be farther from the truth:
The investigation following the explosions linked several distinct groups to the bombing and revealed a conspiracy to target other New York City landmarks such as the United Nations building. One of these groups included five defendants who were arrested during a raid at a New York City garage in which law enforcement officials found the five mixing chemicals that were to be used in bombs. The men were charged with conspiring to bomb a building in the United Nations headquarters, the federal office building housing the FBI, and two tunnels under the Hudson River linking New York and New Jersey.
From this group, members of Fuqra, the FBI found links to 10 additional suspects and a federal grand jury indicted all 15 on charges that they plotted to bomb the United Nations and other New York City landmarks, and plotted to assassinate Egyptian leaders. Across the board, bail was denied. Fuqra is a radical Islamic sect whose followers are believed to be responsible for a string of crimes in the United States.
These groups still operate in the United States of America, and they pose a real threat to our safety and well being.
The events on February 26, 1993 should have been a wake-up call for America, but we went right back to sleep. Islamic terrorism had arrived on our shores and we, as a nation, chose to ignore the threat. Today, the words of an eyewitness on February 26, 1993 are haunting:
Our enemies hated us then, as they hate us now. The only thing that changed was that on September 11, 2001 they succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. And, as the saying goes, nothing succeeds like success.

The more things change...
The more they remain the same:
KABUL, Afghanistan — An Afghan court on Tuesday sentenced a 23-year-old journalism student to death for distributing a paper he printed off the Internet that three judges said violated the tenets of Islam, an official said.
The three-judge panel sentenced Sayad Parwez Kambaksh to death for distributing a paper that humiliated Islam, said Fazel Wahab, the chief judge in the northern province of Balkh, where the trial took place. Wahab did not preside over the trial.
So much for freedom and democracy in an islamic country.

More than just provocation
This is an outrage:
Quite frankly, it reminds me of this:
On October 12, 2000, a small boat exploded alongside the USS Cole killing 17 sailors, wounding 39 others, and leaving extensive damages.
The USS Cole was refueling in the port city of Aden, Yemen. Officials believe that two suicide bombers crashed the small boat into the USS Cole, detonating a bomb. Yemeni officials discovered bomb making equipment in a house near Aden and believe that the two men spent several days there planning the attack.
The bombing of the USS Cole was a deliberate act of war by al-Qaeda, and it went ignored and unavenged by the Clinton Administration. I'm sure he pointed his finger as he said "If, as it now appears, this was an act of terrorism, it was a despicable and cowardly act. We will find out who was responsible and hold them accountable." Strong words from a weak man, in the end, Clinton did nothing.
I'm both thankful and surprised that we did not lose any good men yesterday.
Iran is posturing, yes, but... they are laughing at us in Iran right now, and I both fear and believe that these little unanswered provocations will eventually lead to the loss of good men on the front lines, and here at home. This country needs get serious about the threat to our safety, well being and way of life.
G-d Bless America! Pray for our Troops.

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.

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:

Fatah claimed responsibility for the attack.
Oct 28, 2001 - St.-Sgt. Yaniv Levy, 22, of Zichron Yaakov was killed by Palestinian terrorists in a drive-by machine-gun ambush near Kibbutz Metzer in northern Israel. The Tanzim wing of Fatah claimed responsibility for the murder.

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.

Flashback to Innocence
Today, we turn back the clock to a time of innocence, when Americans believed they could somehow survive a nuclear attack on our country, to a time when children and adults practiced "Duck and Cover" for safety, coached by Burt the Turtle.
I got a little teary-eyed watching children dive under their school desks, dive into doorways and dive off their bikes to curl up against the curb, secure in the belief that "Duck and Cover" could help you survive a nuclear bomb. How amazing that at the same, they all had the jaded acceptance and recognition of the very real threat to our country, and our lives.
How times have changed.
Today, we are not as innocent as we were in the 50s, we know that Duck and Cover ain't gonna work and if the bomb comes, you put your head between your knees and kiss your butt goodbye.
Today, our enemies are not the commies across the pond, our enemies are the followers of islam, and they are everywhere, even here. and, despite a nuclear Iran chanting death to America, far too many of us believe that we need not fear the flash.
We are not as innocent as we were in the 50s, but G-d help us, we are certainy not as smart either.

FBI = Fooled by Islam
Nada Nadim Prouty, just another illegal immigrant, doing the spying that Americans won't do:
Nada Nadim Prouty, a 37-year-old Lebanese national and resident of Vienna, Va., pleaded guilty today in the Eastern District of Michigan to charges of fraudulently obtaining U.S. citizenship, which she later used to gain employment at the FBI and CIA; accessing a federal computer system to unlawfully query information about her relatives and the terrorist organization Hizballah; and conspiracy to defraud the United States.
According to documents filed in court by the government, Prouty first entered the United States from Lebanon on June 24, 1989, on a one-year, non-immigrant student visa. After her visa expired, she remained in the country, residing in Taylor, Mich., with her sister, Elfat El Aouar, and an individual named Samar Khalil Nabbouth. In order to remain in the United States and evade U.S. immigration laws, Prouty later offered money to an unemployed U.S. citizen to marry her. On August 9, 1990, Prouty married the U.S. citizen. As planned, Prouty never lived with her fraudulent “husband,” but continued to live with her sister and Nabbouth.
Prouty later submitted a series of false, fraudulent and forged documents and letters to federal immigration officials to verify the validity of the fraudulent marriage in order to obtain permanent residency status, and, later, U.S. citizenship, thereby committing naturalization fraud. On Aug. 5, 1994, the former Immigration and Naturalization Service granted Prouty U.S. citizenship under the name “Nada Nadim Deladurantaye.” The following year, she filed for a divorce from her fraudulent husband, and later obtained a U.S. passport, which she used to travel overseas.
In April 1999, through a series of false representations and use of her fraudulently procured proof of U.S. citizenship, Prouty, then known as “Nada Nadim Alley,” obtained employment as a special agent of the FBI. It was a prerequisite to FBI employment that she be a U.S. citizen. As a special agent with the FBI, Prouty was granted a security clearance and assigned to the FBI’s Washington Field Office to work on an extraterritorial squad investigating crimes against U.S. persons overseas. During her tenure with the FBI, Prouty was not assigned to work on investigations involving the international terrorist group Hizballah.
In August 2000, Prouty’s sister, Elfat El Aouar, entered into a marriage with Talal Khalil Chahine, the owner of La Shish Inc. In September 2000, Prouty, while employed as an FBI special agent, used the FBI’s computerized Automated Case System (ACS), without authorization, to query her own name, her sister’s name, and that of her brother-in-law, Talal Khalil Chahine. In addition, on or about June 4, 2003, Prouty accessed the FBI’s ACS and obtained information from a national security investigation into Hizballah that was being conducted by the FBI’s Detroit Field Office.
According to court documents, in August 2002, Prouty’s sister, Elfat El Aouar, and her brother-in-law, Talal Khalil Chahine, attended a fundraising event in Lebanon where the keynote speakers were Chahine himself and Sheikh Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah. Sheikh Fadlallah had previously been designated by the U.S. government as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist based upon his status as a leading ideological figure with Hizballah.
In June 2003, through a series of false representations and use of her fraudulently procured proof of U.S. citizenship, Prouty, then known as “Nada Nadim Prouty,” voluntarily left her position with the FBI and obtained employment with the CIA. It was also a prerequisite to CIA employment that she be a U.S. citizen.
--------
That's the story, according to the press release issued by the Department of Justice. How could such a thing happen? According to this article by CBS...
"She had a complete, full investigation," Kodak said, referring to the FBI's background check on Prouty before she was hired.
Oh well. I feel much better. After all, the FBI is completely trustworthy. Don't believe me? Just ask the CIA:
"The CIA may have been a little too trusting of the FBI's ability to do a background check, as the bureau's own pre-employment investigation of Prouty would have covered her first years in country," the official said. "That won't happen again."
According to mainstream media outlet CBS...
While officials say there is no evidence of actual espionage and no evidence that she was working as a spy, she is accused of passing information to sympathizers of Hezbollah, a group the US has labeled a terrorist organization.
No evidence of actual espionage? Okay then. According to the Detroit News:
One of the allegations against Prouty is that while an FBI agent she went into a computer system
without authorization in 2003 and obtained information about the Detroit's FBI office's investigation of Hezbollah.Hezbollah, also known as the "Party of God," is an Islamic militant group based in Lebanon that has been designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. government since 1997.
Hezbollah, in addition to attacks on Israel, were blamed for the 1983 bombings of the U.S. embassy and Marine barracks in Lebanon, which killed 258 Americans.
The Shiite group has financial ties and other links with Iran.
No evidence of actual espionage? Prouty entered this country illegally, she lied and manipulated her way first into the FBI, and then into the CIA. Her family members are linked to a terrorist entity, Hezbollah, and her unauthorized computer searches concerned her family members and Hezbollah, and she took that classified information home with her and passed that information into the hands of a terrorist entity which is actively working to destroy America.
I guess it all depends on what your definition of "espionage" is.
Hat tip to Bloggie, who gave us the DOJ Press Release and sent my blood pressure through the roof.
remember... there is no terrorist threat.
You're perfectly safe. Don't you feel safe?

It was my head exploding.
World Bank Vows a Big Loan to Iran
$900 Million for Mullahs
Yeah. You read that right. $900 million to the regime that's killing our troops in Iraq and killing Israelis in Israel. $900 million to the regime that is busy building a nuclear bomb so it can destroy all that is good and right in this world.
Why? Why would Zoellick do such a thing? Can anyone explain the rationale behind this because I don't get it. I just don't.

In Honor of Islamofacsist Week
I thought you might like to meet the man who has dubbed himself "Osama Bin London."
An Islamic leader who called himself "Osama Bin London" groomed and corrupted young Muslims - including the 21/7 bombers - at terror training camps across Britain, a court has heard.
Mohammed Hamid told his followers the 52 deaths in the July 7 attacks on London were "not even breakfast to me", the jury was told.
Hamid organised Friday prayer groups at his home in East London and went on a camp in the Lake District with all four of the men convicted of the July 21 attempted bombings, Woolwich Crown Court was told.
He ran an Islamic bookstall on Oxford Street with Muktar Ibrahim, one of the guilty bombers, where he was arrested for being aggressive to members of the public and making a racist comment to a policeman, the jury was told.
Hamid was said to have given his name as Osama bin London and to have told the police officer: "I’ve got a bomb and I’m going to blow you all up."
The court heard that Hamid, 50, of Clapton, east London, is accused of soliciting to murder, a charge to which co-accused Atilla Ahmet has already pleaded guilty.
"It is the prosecution’s case that Hamid, assisted by Ahmet, was a recruiter, groomer and corrupter of young Muslims,” David Farrell QC, prosecuting told the jury.
"His purpose was to convert such men to his own fanatical and extreme beliefs and having given them such a foundation, thereby enabling them to move on to join others in the pursuit of jihad [holy war] by acts of terrorism.
"The fact that some did exactly as he desired is, we suggest, highly relevant to his real purpose and his continued purpose after July 21 2005.”
A few of Bin London's followers (the ones that got caught):
Osama Bin London. Sounds like the start of a bad joke, doesn't it? You think there is no terrorist threat? Think again.
What this man accomplished, the death of 52 innocent people, by using his so-called religion to encourage others to kill for him, is what islam is all about. Laughing at him won't save your life, because he, and others like him, are dead serious about killing you. If you think their grand plans are laughable, you need only remember 911. I am sure that in 1990s, Clinton and his ilk scoffed at the thought of a few terrorists hijacking a few airplanes and flying them into the WTC. It likely seemed as farfetched as the idea that they might blow up our tunnels in New York.
Those are the faces of islam and make no mistake, these men want to kill you. There is no use in trying to figure out why they want to kill you, normal, rational people will never understand or relate to the kind of person who would worship an illiterate and epileptic mass murderer, rapist, pillager, thief, terrorist and pedophile. Those who follow the teachings of a terrorist can only be terrorists themselves. Their goal is to dominate the world, reduce it to ashes, and bring forth the evil that is islam.
You can choose to help them, or fight them.

Presented without commentary
Because this horror has left me speechless:
A mother who tried to stop her son from carrying out a suicide bomb attack triggered an explosion in the family's home in southern Afghanistan that killed the would-be bomber, his mother and three siblings, police said Monday.
The would-be bomber had been studying at a madrassa, or religious school, in Pakistan, and when he returned to his home in Uruzgan province over the weekend announced that he planned to carry out a suicide attack, Interior Ministry spokesman Zemeri Bashary said.
Surviving family members told police that the suicide vest exploded during a struggle between the mother and her son, said Juma Gul Himat, Uruzgan's police chief. The man's brother and two sisters were also killed.
Family members said the would-be bomber gave his family $3,600 before telling them he intended to carry out the attack, Himat said.

The bombing of the USS Cole was a deliberate act of war by al-Qaeda, and it went ignored and unavenged by the Clinton Administration. I'm sure he pointed his finger as he said "If, as it now appears, this was an act of terrorism, it was a despicable and cowardly act. We will find out who was responsible and hold them accountable." Strong words from a weak man, in the end, Clinton did nothing.
On November 3, 2002, under the Bush Administration, the CIA fired a AGM-114 Hellfire missile from a Predator UAV at a vehicle carrying Abu Ali al-Harithi, a suspected planner of the bombing plot. Also in the vehicle was Ahmed Hijazi, a U.S. citizen. Both were killed. This operation was carried out on Yemeni soil.
On September 29, 2004, a Yemeni judge sentenced Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri and Jamal al-Badawi to death for their roles in the bombing. Al-Nashiri, believed to be the operation's mastermind, is currently being held by the U.S. at an undisclosed location. Al-Badawi, in Yemeni custody, denounced the verdict as "an American one." Four others were sentenced to prison terms of five to 10 years for their involvement, including one Yemeni who had videotaped the attack.
On February 3, 2006, 23 suspected or convicted Al-Qaeda members escaped from jail in Yemen. This number included 13 who were convicted of the USS Cole bombings and the bombing of the French tanker Limburg in 2002. Among those who reportedly escaped was Al-Badawi. For more on this, please read this article on the escape by Jane Novak, of Armies of Liberation.
Meanwhile... Clinton is still pointing his finger and his wife has her eye on the White House.

Reason # 73537848658 why we win!
TIKRIT, Iraq - A Hunter unmanned aerial vehicle engaged and killed two suspected improvised explosive device emplacers overwatching a major thoroughfare for Coalition Forces during a historic flight near Qayyarah, Iraq, in Nineveh province Sept. 1.
A scout weapons team from 2nd Battalion, 25th Aviation Regiment, 25th Combat Aviation Brigade, observed the two unknown enemy fighters in a tactical overwatch near the roadside. The SWT requested support from the Hunter UAV.
The pilots guided the Hunter operator to the scene where it set up for a strike mission and dropped its precision munition, killing both unknown enemies and marking a first in Army Aviation history.
Made in Israel, dontcha know!
"It's very humbling to know that we have set an Army historical mark in having the first successful launch in combat from an Army weaponized UAV," said Capt. Raymond Fields, commander, Unmanned Aerial Surveillance Company. "This would not be possible without my Soldiers and civilians working hard day in and day out in Iraq to accomplish this feat."
Fields continued, "I think that this success will set the tone for Army Aviation in years to come. We will see more weaponized Army unmanned vehicles being used instead of manned platforms to save not only our aviator brethren but our Army ground brethren from enemy contact."
"This accomplishment adds a precise and discriminate means for our Army to successfully engage the enemy in counterinsurgency warfare," said Col. A.T. Ball, commander, 25th CAB

Except in Israel
The War on Terror summed up by Condolezza Rice:
The terrorists have made their choice. They have shown that choice. They have shown it in bombing and murdering innocent people for their own ideological purposes. We have made a choice, the United States and Australia, which is to fight back. These are not people with whom one can compromise. These are not people with whom one can negotiate. They prey on the weak. When you have an enemy that preys on the weak, takes the lives of innocents, you have but one choice and that is to fight.
So Sayeth Condi Rice.
But, she forgot to say "Except in Israel."
In the world of Condi Rice, you can't compromise or negotiate with terrorists, unless of course, they are blowing up Israeli buses, and pizzarias, and shopping malls, and Bar Mitzvahs.
In the world of Condi Rice, you can't compromise or negotiate with terrorists, unless they are raining rockets down on Israeli civilian areas, and breaking into Israeli homes and shooting children asleep in their beds.
In the world of Condi Rice, when the innnocents you prey upon are Jews, its a-okay.
In the world of Condi Rice, the people who do such things are terrorists, except in Israel. In Israel, the people who do such things are Partners in Peace™.
In the world of Condi Rice, Israel is the only place in the world where it is reasonable to compromise and negotiate with terrorists, to support them financially with American taxpayer dollars, and supply them with arms paid for by Americans.
In the world of Condi Rice, as long as the terrorists are killing Jews, then we can give them foreign aid, give them Israeli land and of course, give them their own state.
Chrad al Yahood, eh Condi?

No more soft islam
There is nothing I can say about the threat of islam that would be more revealing than this:
Enough with the “Islam is a Religion of peace!!!” It surely is a Religion of peace and it surely is a religion of war. So we tell the apologists: Give up your soft Islaam and learn how to become men like the Sahaabah.
I found that little tidbit posted at a very revealing jihadi website known as "The ignored puzzle pieces of knowledge," where it was posted along with a video call to jihad against a backdrop of phony American troops:
Primarily in English, the video voice over urges a commitment to islam through jihad and the glory of martyrdom. A bit bizarre though, to listen to the voice over droning on about the strength and glory of allah's warriors while watching those same warriors herded like sheep by our troops, with their faces in the dirt.
The voice over tells us of the shahaaba, some moslem soldier who was captured in early days of islam, and who, when about to be boiled in oil by an evil king, starts to cry, but claims he is not crying with fear, he is crying with regret that "he has but one life to give to allah." They hijack our history and our heroes to fuel their hatred, and at Jihadi Fields are Calling, they have even stolen our Marine slogans:
That pic is from the site's page of jihad wallpaper, which also features beautiful little boys and girls dressed up as terrorists, raised on violence and death, ready for their martyrdom and glory, proudly proclaiming... these are the children of islam, who will not grow up to be doctors and lawyers and scientists. No, instead, they will grow up to be murderers, terrorists.
The picture is as I found it, caption and all.
But we're not done yet, there's more. There is always more:
The post was titled "Soon …. Soon … Soon … Soon… the blessed invasion of Manhattan" and it claims in both English and arabic that there is a special gift for America coming on the anniversary of 9/11.
Just think, if we cut and run like the democrats want us to, these terrorists win.
Jihadi websites are a dime a dozen, the call to jihad hosted by American companies trying to make a buck at the expense of our troops and our freedom. Both of the blogs featured here today are hosted by wordpress, all in the name of free speech.

The news is presented by the mainstream media aimed at deceiving America and the rest of the world into believing in a fantasy world where evil is good and good is evil. A world where if you can't find a kodak moment to prove your point, it's perfectly okay to make one up. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words, even a fake one.
They give us staged news complete with serial character actors, doctored photographs, pretend missile attacks, children's toys placed on smoking piles of rubble, and then, they gave us this:
The innocent iraqi woman holding the shiny bullets that evil American soldiers shot at her house, probably while she was having a wedding celebration or something. Except, they're not bullets, they're cartridges and it's just another bullshit made up story to badmouth America and her troops.
Yeah, we saw it and marked it as bullshit. And although it made us angry, still, we laughed. We laughed because it's so ridiculous that it's funny. Except... it's not really funny. It's not funny because there are people out there who are foolish and ignorant enough to believe the mainstream media and their made-up version of reality. And that's scary, not funny.
That said... if you want funny, click this:
That's not just funny, it's damn funny, and it's funny right through the credits until the screen goes blank. And its also one of the best bits of commentary on the subject ever, right up there with All Your Fakes are Belong to Us.
Hats off to you Dissident Frogman, that was hilarious. You made my day!

Yes, there were heroes
The IDF's highest honor, the Medal of Valor, is to be granted to Maj. Ro’i Klein, who was killed in the line of duty on July 26, 2007, after jumping on a Hizbullah grenade to save his troops during the Second Lebanon War.
While fighting for control of the hostile village of Bint Jbeil in southern Lebanon, Klein and his men were ambushed by Hizbullah terrorists. Maj. Klein led a group of soldiers and tried to attack the terrorists from behind, but were obstructed by a wall. Klein then began treating one of the wounded, at which point a terrorist hurled a grenade at the group. Soldiers who survived the battle - eight did not - reported that Ro'i yelled out "Shma Yisrael…" and jumped upon the grenade, absorbing the brunt of the explosion and saving the men around him. A stunned silence overtook the men, and then one of them started shouting, "He jumped on the grenade! He jumped on the grenade!" Though mortally wounded, Klein tried to continue to communicate by radio to his superiors.
One of his fellow soldiers, Elad Ozeri, later said that shortly afterwards, when it was thought that Ro’i was dead, Capt. Itamar Katz, who took over the command, approached him. At that point, Klein - in his last act on earth - raised his arm and gave his coded radio device to Katz. "Maj. Klein always emphasized to us the importance of finding the coded devices of soldiers who were hurt," Ozeri said, "so that they would not fall into the hands of the enemy."
Klein actually saved his men twice in the same battle, Ozeri said: "At the beginning of the encounter, he saw a grenade that had been thrown, and was able to yell and warn the men in time."
The husband and father of two small boys and resident of the hilltop community of Harisha, Klein was an acknowledged Torah scholar, superb commander and an accomplished musician in civilian life. He was buried in Eli, the Samaria community in which he grew up, on what would have been his 31st birthday.
The Medal of Valor has been awarded only some 40 times in the history of the State, and the award to Klein will be the first in 34 years. The last recipient was Brig.-Gen. (res.) Avigdor Kahalani, who commanded Armored Battalion 77 during the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
The least we can do for one who sacrificed his life in such a heroic manner is to tell his story. It is not clear why the media seems to have completely ignored this story. Perhaps it is about unpopular behavior, perhaps it does not meet the image of the suffering soldier, the sensitive and scared soldier image that someone is trying to encourage.
There is no fitting explanation for the hiding of such a grand heroic story at this, why it is not being told everywhere in loud clear cries, with great wonder, pride, thanks and admiration, with tears.
Rav Seren Roi Klein, alav hashalom, officer of the 51st unit of Golani (??), from the yishuv of Eli, was of the highest rank of the fighters in Binth J'Bail. During the battle, he noticed a hand grenade that was thrown in the direction of his men. Since it was no longer possible to protect themselves and prevent the injuries the grenade would produce, he crawled toward it so that his body would block most of the explosion and his men would be saved. His self-sacrifice had the desired effect. His soldiers who were saved told that he yelled "Shema Yisroel" as he leapt toward the grenade.
Roi Klein, a mythical hero in the time when people admire anti-heroes, was buried on his 31st birthday.
They say of him that he was an excellent saxophone player and a deeply spiritual person, that he completed his engineering studies with excellence, that he travelled with his friends in Africa, had a rolling laughter, that all of his acquaintances describe him as a gentle and peaceful man, that the request of his widow is that his children should resemble their father.
A real hero.
May his memory be for a blessing.

Deja WTF??
Lake Worth men nabbed with pipe bombs
BOYNTON BEACH — Police arrested two men who were driving around with potentially deadly pipe bombs as well as gloves and masks in their car, authorities said.
Investigators found two of the devices in the car and later discovered a third pipe bomb and bombmaking materials in the suburban Lake Worth apartment shared by the suspects, Raymond Kramer, 22, and Aaron Spoerke, 21.
Spoerke admitted to making the bombs with Kramer and told police he likes to "throw them into canals and watch them explode." Police found no further evidence of what the men planned to do with the bombs, but federal authorities ruled out any kind of domestic terrorism.
The pipe bombs, each made of PVC piping, end caps, duct tape, a fuse and gunpowder, could have caused serious injury or death, authorities said.
Police found the bombs during a routine traffic stop.
Police also found masks, gloves, flashlights, two small knives and about 15-feet of PVC pipe. Investigators found the third bomb and materials when they got consent to search the suspects' apartment. All the men said they used the gloves and flashlights for work.
Dayum.
I could only find this reported in the Palm Beach Post linked above and the Sun-Sentinel. No one else is talking about it.

Quote of the Day
From Exhibit No. 003-0085, translated from Arabic by federal investigators in the case against the Holy Land Foundation:
"The Ikwhan must understand that all their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging their miserable house by the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah's religion is made victorious over all religions."
Sounds like the latest screed from Osama bin Laden. But it comes from the Muslim establishment in America.
Who is the Ikhwan?
"Ikhwan," or Muslim Brotherhood, [is] the parent organization of Hamas, al-Qaida and other major Islamic terror groups. They have conspired to infiltrate American society with the purpose of undermining it and turning it into an Islamic state.
But wait... there's more:
They include the Islamic Society of North America — the umbrella organization — and the North American Islamic Trust, which controls most of the mosques in America and is the forerunner to the Council on American-Islamic Relations, this country's most visible Muslim-rights group.
Yep. These are the moderate moslems we keep reading about.

A voice cries out in the wilderness
DUTCH anti-immigration politician Geert Wilders has called for the Koran to be banned in the Netherlands, branding it a "fascist book" in the vein of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf which legitimises violence.
Writing in Dutch daily De Volkskrant, Wilders said: "Ban this wretched book just like Mein Kampf is banned. Send a signal ... to Islamists that the Koran can never, ever be used in our country as an excuse or inspiration for violence."
He has warned of a "tsunami of Islamisation" in a country home to 1 million Muslims, and has lived under heavy protection since receiving death threats from Islamist militants in 2004.
Mr Wilders said an attack over the weekend by two Moroccans and a Somali on a young Iranian-born politician who heads a Dutch group for "ex-Muslims" had spurred him to write.
"Allah sees the death penalty as fitting for those who no longer believe," Mr Wilders wrote today, adding this view had fuelled the attack on Jami, now under police protection.
The Muslim holy book should be banned from sale, from use in mosques and private households, Mr Wilders added.
Earlier this year, Wilders called for a vote of no-confidence in two Muslim government ministers next week, citing their dual nationality as the issue.
In an interview last February, Wilders said: "I do not want to live in a country where some day six or seven members of cabinet could be Muslim," adding that Islamic laws were "barbaric", referring to four people who were beheaded in Saudi-Arabia that week.
"I want to encourage Muslims to leave the Netherlands voluntarily. The demographic development should become such, that the chance is small that we again have two Muslims in the cabinet." About 1 million Muslims live in the Netherlands out of a population of 16 million.
Wilders has called on Muslims to ditch half the teachings in the Koran and said "If Muhammed lived here today, I would propose to chase him as extremist with tar and feathers out of the country".

What if?
What if enriched weapons-grade uranium and other equipment including including plutonium was loaded on two ships in Korea and sent out on the high seas, headed for Iran? Would such a thing bring Iran's nuclear bomb program closer to fruition, bring them closer perhaps by at least a year? How much would that be worth to Iran? Perhaps a cool $500 million?
What if the terms of sale were agreed upon but delivery had to be accelerated because, well, perhaps there were some UN nuclear inspectors scheduled to visit Pyongyang to confirm the dismantling of its nuclear facilities and the motherlode had to be moved out fast?
What if US intelligence was tracking the freighters? What if there were detected signs of radioactivity, indicating the presence of nuclear materials aboard? Is that kind of technology available? Maybe it is, maybe not.
What if that North Korean ship was getting close to an area patrolled by Iran?
What if the President ordered US Marines to sink the bastards rather than seize the ships, because, well, it would be better to just sink them and avoid explanations and... why expose our troops to possible radiation contaminiation?
What if, after the attack, a few lifeboats were spotted, with a bunch of sorry assed North Korean soldiers aboard, all dying or already dead, and all evidencing radioactive contamination?
What if everyone involved just kept their mouths shut, after all, no one wants or needs a major international incident now, Korean doesn't need anymore sanctions against it and Iran isn't ready for war with America, at least not yet.
What if? Nah. Such a thing could never happen.

Today's Bumper Sticker
WASHINGTON - Airport security officers around the nation have been alerted by federal officials to look out for terrorists practicing to carry explosive components onto aircraft, based on four curious seizures at airports since last September.
The unclassified alert was distributed on July 20 by the Transportation Security Administration to federal air marshals, its own transportation security officers and other law enforcement agencies.The seizures at airports in San Diego, Milwaukee, Houston and Baltimore included "wires, switches, pipes or tubes, cell phone components and dense clay-like substances," including block cheese, the bulletin said. "The unusual nature and increase in number of these improvised items raise concern."
Security officers were urged to keep an eye out for "ordinary items that look like improvised explosive device components."
The four seizures were described this way:
• San Diego, July 7. A U.S. person — either a citizen or a foreigner legally here — checked baggage containing two ice packs covered in duct tape. The ice packs had clay inside them rather than the normal blue gel.
• Milwaukee, June 4. A U.S. person's carryon baggage contained wire coil wrapped around a possible initiator, an electrical switch, batteries, three tubes and two blocks of cheese. The bulletin said block cheese has a consistency similar to some explosives.
• Houston, Nov. 8, 2006. A U.S. person's checked baggage contained a plastic bag with a 9-volt battery, wires, a block of brown clay-like minerals and pipes.
• Baltimore, Sept. 16, 2006. A couple's checked baggage contained a plastic bag with a block of processed cheese taped to another plastic bag holding a cellular phone charger.
Remember... there is no terrorist threat.

See No Evil
and if you do, you better keep quiet about it...
Congressional Democrats today failed to include a provision in homeland security legislation that would protect the public from being sued for reporting suspicious behavior that may lead to a terrorist attack, according to House Republican leaders.
"This is a slap in the face of good citizens who do their patriotic duty and come forward, and it caves in to radical Islamists," said Rep. Peter T. King, New York Republican and ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee.
"Democrats are trying to find any technical excuse to keep immunity out of the language of the bill to protect citizens, who in good faith, report suspicious activity to police or law enforcement," Mr. King said. "I don't see how you can have a homeland security bill without protecting people who come forward to report suspicious activity."
House Republican Leader John Boehner yesterday warned Democrats of a public backlash if the "John Doe" provision is removed.
“That language was put into this bill with broad bipartisan support making it clear that having Americans protected from silly lawsuits if they notice suspicious behavior and report it is just plain common sense," Mr. Boehner said. "And why would they remove that language and I think they are asking for serious trouble if the language is in fact taken out.”
I wish someone could explain to me why the democrats are so determined to hand this country over to the islamic bastards who want to destroy America and kill us. Because that's what this amounts to. They are not even pretending anymore.
Mr. Pearce said Democrats made a choice as to "whether they are going to side with the American people or with the terrorists."
Florida Rep. Adam Putnam, chairman of the House Republican Conference, said failure to enact the provision will hold "the threat of endless litigation over the heads of the American people."
"Democrats are discouraging citizens from reporting suspicious behavior. And that, simply, leaves America vulnerable to terrorist attacks," Mr. Putnam said.
I don't know if this country can survive this congress and that scares the hell out of me.

Here we go again!
Concourse F at Miami International Airport was being evacuated this morning, and the bomb squad was being called to the scene to investigate a report of a possible explosive device. Hundreds of people reportedly were removed from the concourse.
The evacuation began shortly after 6 a.m., according to early reports.
Miami television stations are reporting that authorities found what appeared to be an explosive device in an X-ray machine. Several hundred passengers can be seen outside Terminal F with their luggage.
Concourse F runs Aerolineas Argentinas, Lufthansa, Mexicana and United.
UPDATE: Local radio is reporting that the all clear has been given and Fox is breaking news that its not a bomb. Its probably just a hair dryer, or maybe some stupid shit put together by a troubled youth.

Yeah, all those AKs just lying around all over Iraq, which is full of innocent people who have nothing to do with it, who would never think of using all those AKs that were just lying around to shoot at our troops. no, all those AKs were lying around because, um... lying around for... um... all those AKs lying around were not used to shoot anyone, they were just AKs that happen to be lying around, they were lying around so all those innocent people could... um... not to shoot... um they were used for... um... all those AKs were just lying around, mkay?
OMG! That's terrible! I can't believe such things happen! For crying out loud, our troops never should have gotten out and shot that kid. They should have stayed under cover and shot him.
A sad story of an innocent Iraqi and an evil AK that was just lying around after being planted by our troops, you know that AK musta just jumped into his hands and started shooting at our troops, eh? Yeah, sure, that was another innocent peace loving iraqi with an AK in his hands and our troops shot him for no good reason at all.
Is this supposed to make me feel bad? It doesn't. I don't care how old the bastard was, he shot at our troops, he gets deadly force in return.
There are people who want to kill us, just because we're Americans, and because we don't believe what they believe. They will use any and all ways and means to do, and yes, that includes women and children. They are counting on our humanity and compassion to help them kill us. They give their children guns and explosives and send them to kill and be killed.
What a hunk of shit. Every soldier quoted in this article should lose not only their military benefits, but they should lose their citizenship as well. Send them to the third world country of their choice. I hear Iran is nice this time of year.

Flight 93 - the Terrorist Memorial
They said they changed it, but they didn't. They changed the name from "crescent of embrace" to "bowl of embrace and they added a few more trees. The old design is on the left, and the new design is on the right.
Its still a fucking outdoor mosque and a tribute to islam.
They know what is in the design and just make excuses for it. "It has to be exact," Project Superintendent Joanne Hanley told me in April 2006, explaining why she wasn't worried about the giant crescent, oriented almost exactly on Mecca: "That's one we talked about. It has to be exact."
Left image: a traditional Islamic sundial (photo © Germán Moreno, 2006). The shadow has just reached the outer curved vertical, indicating time for Islamic afternoon prayers. The image on the right is the Tower of Voices portion of the planned Flight 93 Memorial. It is also an Islamic sundial. Shadow calculations confirm that, on any day of the year, when the Tower shadow reaches the inner arc of trees, it will be time for Islamic afternoon prayers.
This is just one of many Islamic and jihadist features hidden (and not so hidden) in what was originally called the Crescent of Embrace design.
Mosque design involves about a dozen typical mosque features. All are realized in the original Crescent of Embrace design, all on the same epic scale as the Tower of Voices minaret-sundial. All remain completely unchanged in the superficially altered Bowl of Embrace redesign.
The memorial honors the islamic murderers rather than the those murdered in the name of islam. Its just another step down the road towards islamification of the United States of America.
What the hell has happened to America?

Police avert car bomb 'carnage'
A car bomb planted in central London would have caused "carnage" if it had exploded, police sources have said.
Officers carried out a controlled explosion on the car which was loaded with petrol, gas cylinders and nails at 0200 BST in Haymarket.
Police were alerted by an ambulance crew who spotted smoke coming from the silver Mercedes, which was parked near the Tiger Tiger nightclub.
They're saying that the the bomb had the "potential" to kill 1700 people.

It's Hanging Time
On March 16, 1988, during Operation Anfal (which, by the way, means "the spoils") an estimated 5,000 civilians were killed and 10,000 injured when Iraqi air forces bombarded Halabja, a predominantly Kurdish city in northeastern Iraq, with mustard and other poison gases.
Al Majid is called Chemical Ali because he decided the best way to solve the Kurdish rebellion was to gas them. He orchestrated the gassing of Kurdish villages carried out by low-flying helicopters with express orders to kill every living thing in the area, including plants and wildlife.
Two decades after the massacre, the people of Halabja still suffer from very high rates of serious diseases such as cancer, neurological disorders, birth defects and miscarriages. Saddam Hussein's chemical weapons attack on Halabja was not an isolated incident. It was part of a systematic campaign ordered by Saddam Hussein and led by his cousin, Ali Hassan al-Majid.
and now...
BAGHDAD -- Two decades after Iraq's military laid waste to Kurdish villages, the Iraqi High Tribunal on Sunday sentenced Ali Hassan al-Majid, known as "Chemical Ali," and two others to death for their roles in the bloody campaign against the restive ethnic minority.
Al-Majid, a cousin of executed former president Saddam Hussein, was convicted of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes for ordering army and security services to use chemical weapons in an offensive said to have killed some 180,000 people during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war.

Why we fight
On the same day that we learned about our troops' rescue of these children, Nancy Pelosi spoke about what our troops are doing in Iraq...
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the war in Iraq a “tragedy” and a “grotesque mistake...”
Last November the same Nancy Pelosi claimed "The three most important congressional issues of today are “our children, our children, our children: their health, their education, their economic security, their families, the environment in which they live, and safe neighborhoods.”
What is the war about?
On Saturday, April 14, 2007 a terrorist exploded in Kerbala. He killed and/or wounded more than 250 civilians. Most of the victims were shoppers and street salesmen. Among them were children on a school trip. Some of the victims burned to death.
This is what it looked like:
The war is not about Osama bin Laden, its about the ideology behind Osama bin Laden, the war is about the ideology behind the brutal and senseless murder of the child you see in the picture above, a child who should be laughing and playing and learning and living, a child who instead, perished in flames and agony, a victim of terror.
The war is about children like the ones our troops rescued.
If we lose this war, it means the people responsible have won, and it means that they have won because they killed enough children to make us give up. And it means they are free to continue kill, to continue their reign of terror.
Obviously, Nancy wasn't talking about the children in these pictures, and she wasn't talking about the other children who are killed in terror attacks. Because Nancy, and the rest of the democrats, have decided to reward the terrorists who kill innocents by turning over to them Iraq and its people. The democrats have decided to support and encourage the terrorists, instead of supporting our troops and their mission to put an end to terror.
I'm sickened by the hypocrisy of people who would claim that they are "all for the children" while they have decided not only to allow the abuse of that child, but are trying to convince us that to abandon Iraq to the terrorists responsible for bringing death to countless others is somehow the right thing to do. How do these democrats rationalize their support of the "resistence" that is responsible for such things?
How can anyone look at those pictures and decide that what our troops are doing is a tragedy and a grotesque mistake? How can anyone look at the end result of evil and decide to allow it continue? Because its there and not here? Is evil less evil because it happened over there and not over here?
Why can't harry Reid and John Murtha and Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the democrats see that if we have lost this war, then that means the terrorists have won this war?
Those aren't "our" children in those pictures, but it could easily be so, and it will be so, because if we let the terrorists win over there, they will be coming over here.
Losing is simply not an option.
G-d bless our troops for what they do, and yes, that includes you, Colonel Fred. You are my hero!

"Agency management was not only covering up numerous probes and dry-run encounters from Congress and other federal law-enforcement agencies, it was also hiding these incidents from their own flying air marshals," said P. Jeffrey Black, an air marshal stationed in Las Vegas.
Homeland Security officials initially denied the complaints and blamed passengers who reported the incident to the press as behaving hysterically.
and... The Inspector General's Report.
and... the Syrian Music star sings praise of suicide bombers, something that was known since 2004.
They let them go to maintain some ridiculous PC standard forced upon us by the lunatic left fringe. It took them three years to admit it.

Would you like some cheese
with your whine?
There is a such thing as consequences:
COOKSTOWN, N.J. - The father of one of the six men charged with plotting to massacre soldiers at Fort Dix says the business near the base that he's nurtured for years is all but ruined since his son's arrest.
Muslim Tatar, who has owned Super Mario's Pizza for five years, said his lunchtime crowd from nearby McGuire Air Force Base and Fort Dix has largely disappeared, replaced by empty tables and nasty words from passing motorists.
"Now I am a target," the 52-year-old Tatar said, adding that his business is "99 percent dead." ...
Since authorities announced the arrests on Tuesday, a cook and two waitresses quit the restaurant out of fear they would be targeted, said Warren Cline, another cook at the pizzeria.
"Normally we'd be almost full. People liked this place, and Tatar is a very friendly owner," Cline told The Star-Ledger of Newark for Saturday's newspapers. "But people drive by, they give us the finger."
Cline said delivery business is also hurting since the restaurant can no longer bring food to Fort Dix or McGuire Air Force Base.
Hmmm... maybe CAIR could file a lawsuit, and force everyone in town to eat at your restaurant once a week.
UPDATE: ... Tatar decided he had to take some sort of action to protect his business. Outside the restaurant, he hung a sign reading: "Under New Management."
Except, its not under new management, you liar. Why should we believe anything that comes out of your mouth.

Motivation
An update to the terror attack planned for Fort Dix:
One defendant, Mohamad Ibrahim Shnewer, spoke of using rocket-propelled grenades and other weapons to kill at least 100 soldiers, according to court documents.
"My intent is to hit a heavy concentration of soldiers," he was quoted as saying. "You hit four, five or six Humvees and light the whole place (up) and retreat completely without any losses."
"It doesn't matter to me whether I get locked up, arrested or get taken away," another defendant, Serdar Tatar, was alleged to have said. "Or I die, it doesn't matter. I'm doing it in the name of Allah."
At first I thought the bastards should have been shot while trying to escape, but I changed my mind. I hope they keep on talking 'cause if they do, maybe, just maybe, people will start to listen.

Repeat after me
NEW YORK -- Six men from New Jersey have been arrested in an alleged terror plot against soldiers at Fort Dix, according to law enforcement sources.
Investigators said the men planned to use automatic rifles to enter Fort Dix and kill as many soldiers as they could at the New Jersey military base. Fort Dix was just one of several military and security locations allegedly scouted by this group, authorities said.
Three of the men are brothers, all believed to be Islamic radicals. Now there's a surprise. And, here's another surprise, straight from the indictment:
According to the indictment affidavit, investigators began probing the cell last January, when a video store worker contacted them after a customer brought a DVD to be duplicated. The DVD showed 10 young men "Shooting assault weapons at a firing range in a militia-like style while calling for jihad and shouting in Arabic 'Allah Akbar' ('God is Great')." Within six months, the FBI had placed two cooperating witnesses within the terror cell, and both recorded meetings and phone conversations with the plotters.
Unfortunately, premier terror attorney Lynne Stewart will be unable to help get these bastards beat the rap, having been disbarred last month.

Where do I sign up?
They're picking the Padilla jury pool, and no, I didn't get a summons. Too bad. I would have loved to serve on that jury. Instead, look at what we get:
MIAMI — Many potential jurors in the Jose Padilla terrorism-support case say they aren't sure who directed the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks because they don't trust reporters or the federal government.
"There are too many ifs, too many things going on," one male juror said. "I don't know the whole story."
Before they came to court, each of the jurors filled out a 115-question form asking about a wide range of legal, political and religious topics, particularly their views of Arabs, Muslims and Islamic radicals. On question No. 60, which asks for an opinion about responsibility for the Sept. 11 terror attacks, many people said they don't know.
"I've been surprised at the number of our jurors who don't have an opinion about 9/11," U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke, who is presiding over the case and asks most of the juror questions, said Wednesday.
Think that's bad? It gets worse...
Others say they just don't pay close enough attention to world events to be certain.
"I'm oblivious to that stuff," one prospective female juror said during questioning this week. "I don't watch the news much. I try to avoid it."
Sigh. As my friend Sondra says, these are the people in my neighborhood.
Oh well. At least the weather is nice, the beaches are beautiful and it never, ever snows.

Debutantes of Defeat
This just in from Russ Vaughn, via Old War Dogs:
Debutantes of Defeat
In 2003 they came to the Ball,
For some merry martial dancing;
Girlishly giggling in the Capitol hall,
Finding chords of war music entrancing.
Filled with excitement, throwing care to the wind,
DebiDems wanted Bush to be tough,
So the ladies signed on for a Ball with no end,
Without thinking it just might get rough.But the dance card of war began to reveal,
That some people really were dying.
What? Death and violence are part of the deal?
That dumb cowboy must have been lying.
Lifting their hems, they ran for the doors,
Their hypocrisy blatantly stunning;
Shrieking defeat, they fled the dance floors,
Belles with no Balls, flat-out running.Once hypocrite Hillary swirled the war floor,
Out-jingoing flat-footed Kerry;
Now Hil is shrilling she knew not the score,
Like whiney-voiced, tap-dancing Harry.
They went to the ball to advance their schemes,
They had planned, should the Martial Ball sour;
Lose the war, destroy Bush, fulfill their dreams,
They’d become the dance masters of power.Hillary’s hip-hopping, Reid’s tapping like mad, club-footed Kerry’s still schlubbing,
And Pelosi in Damascus cornered Bashar for some old-fashioned, hot belly-rubbing.
and in other news... Democrats Back Down On Iraq Timetable.
Just pass a friggin bill that will fund our troops and support the mission. Leave all the politics and the favors and pork and the bullshit off the table, and do the right thing.

Prepare your kids for potential violence
Here's a heap of horseshit from Daniel Vasquez titled "Prepare your kids for potential violence."
According to Vasquez, the number one thing to teach your children: Run away. Hide. Don't look at the killer, don't taunt the killer. Call your mommy.
I'm surprised he left out "beg for your life."
Not a single word about self-defense. Not a single word about arming yourself. Just run, hide, and pray that the killer kills someone else, anyone else, even everyone else, just not you.
And why not, the same message comes from the House and the Senate, with the passing of the Surrender Bill.
Meanwhile, gun sales are up because we're Americans dammit, and we don't like being victims. Its no wonder that circulation is down yet again for mainstream newspapers such as the one that published this article.
So. Meet my new best friend:
Its the Kimber Ultra Carry. Gun Week gave it an excellent review.

Terrorism
In order to intimidate a population or government into granting their demands, terrorism is used to kill or maim as many innocent people as possible. To acheive this goal, terrorists construct their bombs using schrapnal, nails, nuts, bolts, anything and everything sharp... and deadly. They target areas such as shopping malls, restaurants, public transportation, anywhere where innocent civilians can be found.
Inside Terrorism brings you a view from the inside the victims.
If you support palestinian "freedom fighters," this is what you support. If you support the "resistence" in Iraq, this is what you support.
And, make no mistake, this is the contribution of the moslem world to civilization.

What's the difference?
Last week, someone put the following comment on my site, in response to my outrage at Harry Reid's statement that the war is lost:
We spending over $100 Billion and 800 soldiers a year to keep those Iraqi bastards from killing each other? Fuck that. Save the money and let the car bombs roll in Baghdad. Fuck Iraq. Pakistan and Saudi Arabia is where Osama bin Laden and his fucking Taliban are hiding.
"Let the car bombs roll." What exactly does that mean?
On Saturday, April 14, 2007 a terrorist exploded in Kerbala. He killed and/or wounded more than 250 civilians. Most of the victims were shoppers and street salesmen. Among them were children on a school trip. Some of the victims burned to death.
This is what it looked like when that car bomb rolled:
What is this war about? Its not about Osama bin Laden, its about the ideology behind Osama bin Laden, the war is about the ideology behind the brutal and senseless murder of the child you see in the picture above, a child who should be laughing and playing and learning and living, a child who instead, perished in flames and agony, a victim of terror.
If we lose this war, it means the people responsible for the death of that child have won, and it means that they have won because they killed that child. And it means they are free to continue kill, to continue their reign of terror.
Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, claimed "The three most important congressional issues of today are “our children, our children, our children: their health, their education, their economic security, their families, the environment in which they live, and safe neighborhoods.”
Obviously, Nancy wasn't talking about the child in the picture, or the other children who died in this terror attack and in other terror attacks, because Nancy, and the rest of the democrats, have decided to "let the car bombs roll." They have decided to reward the terrorists who killed that child by turning over to them Iraq and its people. The democrats have decided to support and encourage the terrorists who killed that child, instead of supporting our troops and their mission to put an end to terror.
I'm sickened by the hypocrisy of people who would claim that they are "all for the children" while they have decided not only to allow the death of that child, but are trying to convince us that to abandon Iraq to the terrorists responsible for that death, and countless others, is somehow the right thing to do. How do these democrats rationalize their support of the "resistence" that is responsible for the death of that child?
How can anyone look at the end result of evil and decide to allow it continue? Because its there and not here? Is evil less evil because it happened over there and not over here?
It has been asked before:
If you care so much for children, why do you try to prevent our troops from stopping the activity of terrorists who intentionally murder children as well as other innocent civilians?
What does "peace" mean to you? Does it mean trying your best to make sure that terrorists can operate freely?
"The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil,
but because of the people who don't do anything about it."
- Albert EinsteinAnd perhaps also because of the people who don't do evil but who make it easier for others to do it.
Or is there really any difference?
I'll answer that question now. There is no difference.

No way Harry!
When I saw this on Drudge, it left me inarticulate with anger and I couldn't put three words together without two of them being fuck.
and then I saw this on Rodger's site:
''Okay, I'll admit it. Sometime Monday evening I caught myself wishing that Cho Seung-Hui had been a Senate page when the screw holding his lunatic brain fell completely out. Far fewer people would be grieving today. I didn't say it because ... I had control. That's gone as of 10 minutes ago when I saw this Drudge Banner."
Not only did I laugh, but I felt just better, because its good to know that I'm not alone in my thinking.
Still, I am just so damn angry at Harry Reid and the rest of the idiots that make up this Congress, and I'm so damn angry at every single person who went out and pushed the button for these people last November, and I'm so damn angry at every single person who stayed home last November and saddled us with these crazy bastards.
I've said this before, and I'll say it again:
The Democrats, the war protestors, and the American media have chosen to give their support to terrorism against the United States of America. In doing so, they have chosen to embrace a monster the likes of which they are unable to comprehend.
They have no idea what the consequences of their actions will be in the future, for the situation in Iraq is nothing but a small part of the islamic agenda to cleanse all lands of all kufirs, infidels and jews, and to rule those lands according to islamic law. To embolden them, to encourage their acts, and to leave them to a reign of terror is to guarantee that jihad is coming to America.
If the islamic agenda is successful, the future might not be to their liking. Today, they are free to support terrorism, spread lies and sow dissention only because there are those today who fight the good fight to defend them. Because of the efforts of the brave men and women who serve in the United States Military, perhaps the islamic agenda will not be successful in this lifetime. They may sleep well and warm in their beds tonight, and enjoy a lifetime of indolence and indifference.
They do not consider the legacy they will leave behind for their children and their children's children.
If the islamic agenda is successful, it will be because of the actions of the democrats, the war protestors and the media. In the end, they will sentence America to suffer under the very same monster they embrace today.
If their actions today bear fruit tomorrow, it is future Americans who will suffer under islamic law. As they suffer, surely they will curse the names and the memory of those who turned their face from the truth and embraced the lie. Indeed, if their actions bear fruit tomorrow, future Americans will surely curse the memory of all those who choose to bow their head and look the other way, those who today support terrorism and nurture the beast.
I curse them now, and I vow to fight them, every step of the way, and I vow to continue to support our troops and their mission for as long as it takes to put an end to this evil, for as long as it takes to finish the job, to win.
And, despite the best efforts of Harry Reid and his ilk, I have no doubt that we will win, this is the United States of America, and it is the greatest country in the world, with the greatest Military in the world. We will not be beaten by a bunch of backwards, demented, psychotic assholes with bad teeth who are stuck in the 7th century and want to drag us down with them.
USA! USA!! USA!!!
and... Fuck you Harry Reid.

The Pirates of Tehran
A most excellent essay by Fred Thompson:
Oil prices fell. The stock market rose. Video images of smiling British soldiers with Iranian President Ahmadinejad were everywhere. So were pictures of the 15 freed hostages embracing family members back home. The relief over the return of the Brits was so tremendous; you could almost hear birds singing.
Maybe it's because military action won't be needed or maybe it's just because the ordeal won't drag on and on, but the world is breathing easier now. A lot of folks are happy. The problem, as I see it, is that Ahmadinejad seems to be the happiest.
And why shouldn't he be? He has shown the world that his forces can kidnap British citizens, subject them to brutal psychological tactics to coerce phony confessions, finagle the release of a high-ranking Iranian terror coordinator in Iraq, utterly trash the Geneva conventions and suffer absolutely no consequences.
The UN Security Council summoned its vaunted multilateral greatness to issue a swift statement of sincere uneasiness. The EU, which has pressured Britain to rely on Europeans for mutual defense instead of the US, wouldn't even discuss economic sanctions that might disrupt their holidays. Even NATO was AWOL.
~
It is critical that we see this incident as part of a long pattern of behavior -- that will continue as long as the current leadership is in power. More importantly, it will escalate unimaginably if Iran achieves nuclear status, and with it the ability to hold millions rather than individuals hostage.
I have no idea if Ahmadinejad and those who put him in power really believe the Shi'a Twelver doctrine that they can spur the messiah to return by triggering Armageddon. You have to admit, though, that the possibility that they look forward to entering paradise as martyrs would make them a whole lot scarier as a nuclear power than the USSR ever was.

I blame Bush
Baghdad, 4 April (AKI) - The first video attributed to a new Iraqi insurgent group was posted to radical Islamist internet forums on Wednesday. The three-minute film, entitled "The First Operation of Iraqi Hamas" showed the explosion of a roadside bomb in the Baghdad suburbs, as a truck supplying the US military bases passes by. The group is believed to have been formed at the end of March from a split within the 1920s Brigades, a group responsible for numerous kidnapping and suicide bombs. Some analysts believe "Iraqi Hamas" comprises militiamen linked to the Islamic party in parliament and to the local chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood.
A man described as the group's representative in Jordan, Muhammad Ayash al-Kubeisi, told Al Jazeera "we fight the infidels and want the withdrawal of the Americans, but we do not consider the other Iraqis as apostates. For us, they are citizens, just as we are, and we want a dialogue with them.
------
I blame Bush. Despite lip service to the contrary, the United States has continued to support the Hamas in Israel with dialogue, as well as funds and arms. This open and active support of the Hamas in Israel has turned the terrorist group into a political power.
"We do not have any organisational link with Hamas [the militant group in the Palestinian territories] but we follow its doctrine and we take our inspiration from them" he said. "We share their vision of carrying out armed resistance and at the same time standing as candidates and being involved in politics."
And now we have its bastard child running amok in Iraq, along with Hezbollah and aligned with the ever popular al-Sadr:
This week it finally happened. Hizbullah has come out of the closet and launched a full-scale military campaign against US-led forces in Iraq.
Two weeks after the US shelved its sanctions against Hizbullah sponsor Syria, and as the US remains silent in the face of increased Iranian assertiveness in advancing the mullocracy's Manhattan Project, the cat jumped out of the bag.
Ushering in his fight against the US, Hizbullah-Iranian front man Moqtada al-Sadr told his followers last Friday, "I am the striking arm for Hizbullah and Hamas in Iraq because the fate of Iraq and Palestine is the same." Under the spell of Sadr's call to "terrorize" the Americans, Shi'ite militiamen launched attacks in several cities at once. Militarily, the results have been mixed but have served to cause a political maelstrom by spooking US coalition partners into reconsidering their involvement in Iraq.
Islamic terrorism has been allowed and yes, legitimatized in Israel and now, the plague is spreading. it appears that the world will suffer the consequences of its actions.
As the saying goes... "As Israel suffers, so shall the world."

No. No. and No.
The parents of John Walker Lindh, serving a 20-year sentence in the country's toughest federal prison, stepped up their request for his release today by noting that the first U.S. war-crimes tribunal in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, recently resulted in a punishment of just nine months.
"John has been in prison for more than five years," said his mother, Marilyn Walker. "It's time for him to come home."
This, said his lead attorney, James J. Brosnahan of San Francisco, "is a simple cry for justice."
--------
I cannot help but think of Johnny "Mike" Spann who was attacked by a mob of Islamist prisoners and beaten to death, his body full of bites as though animals had been tearing at his flesh. Lindh was one of those prisoners.
Justice? John Walker Lindh is no different from Mohamed Atta or Zarqawi or any other moslem terrorist. If there were justice, John Walker Lindh would be dead. Instead, he got off with only 20 years in SuperMax. At the least, he should have gotten life.
For the record, I object to my tax dollars feeding this bastard. He should have been shot while trying to escape.

A mother's legacy
Imagine a world where a mother's greatest act of love is not to nurture her children, but rather to abandon them in favor of blowing herself to bits to kill others. What life lesson does this teach her children, and what does it teach us about palestinians?
Meet four year old Duha, as she sings about the glories of her mother, female suicide bomber Reem Riyashi.
These are the words that Duha, Reem's daughter, sings to her mother:
[Daughter sees mother preparing explosives sticks]
"Mommy, what are you carrying
in your arms instead of me?
[Mother turns to hide bomb]
A toy or a present for me?...
Mommy Reem!
Why did you put on your veil?
Are you going out, Mommy?...
Come back quickly, Mommy
I can't sleep without you,
unless you tell me and Ubaydah [her brother] a bedtime story.
[Daughter sees mother's picture and news story about bombing on PA TV]
My mother, my mother,
Me and Ubaydah are awake and waiting for you
to come to put us to sleep.
Me and Ubaydah, oh Mommy,
still need you to wipe our tears...
Instead of me you carried a bomb in your hands.
Only now, I know what was more precious than us...
May your steps be blessed,
and may you be flawless for Jerusalem.
Me and Ubaydah wish we were there with you.
[Images of her mother's grave and the graves of other terrorists,
including Aayat Al-Akhras, 17-year-old female suicide terrorist]
Send greetings to our Messenger [Muhammad] and tell him:
'Duha loves you.'
My love will not be [merely] words.
I am following Mommy in her steps.
[Finds explosives that mother left in her drawer,
picks up stick of explosives]
Oh Mommy, oh Mommy."
Such is the love of a palestinian mother for her child, and the legacy she gives not only to her children, but to the thousands of other children who will watch this video and sing this song.

Robert A. Levinson
That's the name of the American missing in Iran for weeks.
He's retired FBI, he worked in the organized crime division and he lives here in SoFla, Coral Springs is just a hop, skip and jump from my home. By the way, Bobby is Jewish, and known to be proud of it.
The last anyone heard, he was on Kish. Say a little prayer, huh?
----------------
UPDATE from my comments: A report by Iran's PRESSTV claims Levinson was detained through a misunderstanding and should be released soon.
and...
A report by the official Iranian news agency, IRNA, disputes the PRESS TV story: "There is no evidence on the alleged disappearance of a US citizen in Kish Island, southern Iran, local officials said on Tuesday. IRNA reporter in Kish quoted the local officials as saying that the US is required to indicate identity of the individual and the flight he took to Iran. It is likely such allegations are being made for political purpose, because no tourist was disappeared in Kish Island."

Let's pull out of Iraq!
Yes! Let's do it for the children...
Near the shops, a group of children — Sunni and Shia — were playing football on an empty site. As Selim, his wife and brother, walked past, two cars pulled up. Four or five men in tracksuits got out and opened their car boots. They pulled out belt-fed BKC machineguns, a weapon known in Iraq as “the harvester” for its ability to kill lots of people quickly.
“We heard the shooting of the machineguns. It was so loud and continuous we thought they were targeting us,” said the 28-year-old Shia, his eyes red and brimming with pain.
But they were not the targets.
“I started looking, and they are shooting the kids,” he said. “Eight of the kids already fell on the ground. The guys kept shooting, they just wanted to make sure everyone was dead.”
Yeah yeah, I know, those are just extremists and your average moslem wouldn't do such a thing...
As the killers drove away unharmed the local men rushed home to fetch their guns. Instead of trying to catch the gunmen or help their victims, Sunnis began shooting at Shia houses and Shias began firing on Sunnis.
“It was so horrible, you saw neighbours who’d been sitting outside together shooting at each other,” Selim said.
What, is this the moslem version of a block party with your neighbors? A friendly little shootout and kill-fest? Is this why they call it the Religion of Peace?
As the neighbours blasted away at each other no one dared to venture out to help the children bleeding on the makeshift pitch for two hours, until people started to run out of ammunition. It was only when the firing subsided that the nine small bodies were picked up and taken to the mortuary of Yarmouk hospital.
Yeah, its the Religion of Peace. Yeah. Sure.

This just in... from Poland
Just dayum, but this makes my day:
WARSAW, Poland — An anti-Zionist rabbi who attended a conference in Iran that questioned the Holocaust said Wednesday he was beaten while in Poland by Jews furious at him for his actions.
Moishe Arye Friedman, who lives in Vienna, Austria, was attacked last Friday in Lezajsk, a small town in southeastern Poland. His attackers included Yehuda Meshi-Zahav, a member of the Israeli humanitarian group ZAKA, and two others, Friedman said in a telephone interview.
Meshi-Zahav, an orthodox Israeli Jew, confirmed to The Associated Press in a brief telephone interview from Jerusalem that he had been among Friedman's attackers.
Meshi-Zahav told Israel's Maariv newspaper that he and his friends had just paid an emotionally distressing visit to the Nazi death camp Auschwitz and were incensed to see Friedman.
"With every blow I felt like I was speaking in the name of the Jewish people," the paper quoted him as saying.
His attack came during annual commemorations for an 18th century Hassidic rabbi buried in Lezajsk, which were attended by both Friedman and Meshi-Zahav.
"I was attacked with such brutality," said Friedman, 35, who said he was kicked and punched. He said he was badly bruised and still recovering at his home in Vienna.
Friedman said that his attacker yelled out "he's the one from the pictures of Ahmadinejad!" before beating him.
Meshi-Zahav told Maariv newspaper he had heard Friedman was at the event and went with a friend to find him.
"We gave him a good beating, the kind we haven't given out for a long time," Maariv quoted Meshi-Zahav as saying, adding that others in the crowd joined in the attack shouting "go to Ahmadinejad" before Friedman was aided by local policemen.
Police confirmed responding to the incident but did not report any arrests.
A thousand thank yous to Austin Petree, who tipped me to the story in my comments.

Teach your children well
Rim al-Riyashi, a resident of Gaza from a well-to-do family, 23, married and the mother of two small children, was recruited by Hamas and was the first Palestinian mother to carry out a suicide bombing attack . She blew herself up at the workers' crossing point at the Erez industrial zone by fooling the female soldiers who examined her.
"It was always my wish to turn my body into deadly shrapnel against the Zionists and to knock on the doors of heaven with the skulls of Zionists." - Rim al-Riyashi
So much for the myth that they do such things because they are poor and desperate and oppressed. Rim's legacy? Meet the children she left behind:
Interviewer: Let's talk with the two children of the jihad-fighting martyrdom-seeker Rim Al-Riyashi - Dhoha and Muhammad. Dhoha, you love mama, right? Where did mama go?
Dhoha: To Paradise.
Interviewer: What did mama do?
Dhoha: She committed martyrdom.
Interviewer: She killed Jews, right?
Interviewer: How many did she kill, Muhammad?
Muhammad: Huh?
Interviewer: How many Jews did mama kill?
Muhammad: This many...
Interviewer: How many is that?
Muhammad: Five.
Interviewer: Do you love mama? Do you miss mama? Where is mama, Muhammad?
Muhammad: In Paradise.
If children learn what they live, what have these children learned? What can we expect of them when they come of age? Can we expect this generation to seek peace with its neighbors?

Who's sorry now?
Members of the main pro-Israel lobbying group offered scattered boos to a statement by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that the Iraq war has been a failure on several scores.
The boos, mixed with some polite applause, stood in stark contrast to the reception House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) received minutes earlier. Most of the crowd of 5,000 to 6,000 stood and loudly applauded Boehner when he said the U.S. had no choice but to win in Iraq.
Pelosi and Boehner were speaking at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) annual meeting. AIPAC has not taken a position on the war in Iraq or the supplemental spending bill to be considered this week by the House Appropriations Committee, but much of Boehner’s speech was about the future of the Iraq conflict.
Boehner sought to link the fight in Iraq to the future of Israel, as he said a failure in Iraq would pose a direct threat to Israel.
Pelosi said the U.S. military campaign in Iraq had to be judged on three accounts: whether it makes the U.S. safer, the U.S. military stronger and the region more stable.
“The war in Iraq fails on all three counts,” Pelosi said. Some of the crowd applauded before catcalls and boos could be heard.

Thirty-nine hours
Long before 911 and long before the 1993 WTC bombing, islam was among us:
"A girl came in screaming, 'There are men with guns!' " Ehrlich, 83, recalled. She and others locked themselves in her boss's office, she said. "The next thing we heard were men coming in and saying, 'Unlock the door or we're going to kill you all.' "
They shattered a glass panel in the door and then took everyone downstairs, she said. "When I entered the second floor, there were bodies on top of bodies. I thought everyone was dead," she said.
One of the captors told them that "if anyone does anything wrong, he'll cut their head and throw it out of the window," she recalled.
It happened in our Nation's Capital, Washington D.C. I was 16 years old, and I lived in Brooklyn. Do I remember? No.
The siege started March 9, 1977, at a time when security was still relaxed in government buildings and hostage videos weren't a few clicks away on the Internet. It was before people searched mail for white powder or suicide bombings claimed regular headlines.
"This was an early wake-up call about violence and terrorism and the extent to which groups will go to engage in violence either for the sake of violence or to make a point," Daniel S. Mariaschin, executive vice president of B'nai B'rith International, said yesterday. "Little did we know 30 years ago that this kind of issue would be a daily concern for all of us, not only here in Washington but abroad as well." He will speak at today's event.
The 12 gunmen had several demands. They wanted the government to hand over a group of men who had been convicted of killing seven relatives -- mostly children -- of takeover leader Hamaas Abdul Khaalis. They also demanded that the movie "Mohammad, Messenger of God" be destroyed because they considered it sacrilegious.
Most of the hostages, more than 100, were captured at the B'nai B'rith headquarters.
A journalist was killed, and Marion Barry was shot in the chest.
Hamaas Abdul Khaalis, formerly known as Ernest T. McGee, joined the Nation of Islam in an attempt to bring the sect into line with orthodox Sunni Islam. By 1956, he had become national secretary. His efforts proved unsuccessful, so in 1958, he broke with Elijah Muhammad and founded the Al-Hanif, Hanafi, Madh-Hob Center, Islam Faith, United States of America, American Mussulmans. Based in Washington DC, the Hanafis still adhere to the basic tenets of Sunni Islam.
On January 5th 1973, Khaalis sent a proclamation to a number of mosques (including Philadelphia's Temple 12) in which he excoriated Elijah Mohammad and the Black Muslims. Calling them "false prophets" and denouncing Elijah Mohammad as "a lying deceiver". On January 17th the Black Mafia crew invaded Khaalis' home. Khaalis was out. Over a period of hours seven members of his family were slaughtered, including four infants between the ages of 9 days and 22 months. The babies were drowned in a bathtub and sink. When one enforcer had qualms and asked another why the babies had to die, the answer was "because the seed of the hypocrite is in them".
Another bloody, painful chapter in American history brought to you by the death cult of islam.

Question of the day:
Why can't we just kill our enemies?
Electromagnetic Personnel Interdiction Control, or "EPIC"
The idea is that intense radio-frequency emissions – capable of passing through walls – would be used to temporarily disrupt the balance and coordination functions of targets' inner ears, knocking them down relatively harmlessly.
The Navy notes that "second order effects would be extreme motion sickness," suggesting that in fact the order given by future Captain Kirks may be "set phasers on 'puke'".
Our enemies try to kill us and we try to make them puke.
The intention of the programme is to avoid unnecessary harm to the target, but unconscious vomiting would seem to present something of a choking hazard.
Oh, the horrors of war.

Just stay home Harry
Terrorists have vowed to kidnap or kill Prince Harry when he fights in Iraq, it is reported.
The 22-year-old is due to be sent out in May with colleagues from the Blues and Royals regiment.
Threats have been posted on extremist websites since his deployment was revealed, The Sun says.
One message said: "Prince Harry will be sent to Iraq to be killed by Muslims."
Another added: "May Allah give him what he deserves - like his fellow crusaders."
Army officials fear the Prince will be paraded on television if he is kidnapped.
The prince will serve in armoured vehicles A Blues and Royals source told the paper: "Officially Harry is being treated just like any other soldier but in reality everyone knows how desperate the insurgents out there will be to get their hands on him."
Internet terror expert Neil Doyle was quoted as saying: "Harry would be the ultimate prize for one of these insurgent groups.
"He would be worth his weight in gold in propaganda terms if killed or captured."
From the end of May, the prince will be patrolling in Scimitar armoured reconnaissance vehicles in Maysan.
Harry will this week pose as a hooded hostage in a special training exercise, the paper says.
His men will use tear gas and stun grenades to free him.
-------
I respect you, Harry for wanting to serve and for not wanting to be coddled just because you're the prince, but for crying out loud, like it or not, you are not the average soldier, you will be a number one target for terrorists, your presence in Iraq will excite the enemy, and there will be increased attacks across the board in an effort to get you.
Stop thinking of yourself and your determination to be treated like everyone else. You are not everyone else and what you insist on doing is not only increasing the risk for your unit, but for all troops on the ground.
This war is not about you and going over there is going to make it about you. What you are doing is just plain selfish.
and your little dress rehearsal is no preparation for what you are going to face and if you think it will prepare you in the event of capture, think again.
For the sake of the troops, stay home Harry! There are plenty of other things you can do to support the effort.

Another American Moslem
Or maybe just another troubled youth.
03/05/07 -- ORANGE COUNTY) - Authorities in Orange County had their hands full keeping Mohammed Taheri-azar in line while in court.
Taheri-azar is accused of driving a sport utility vehicle through a crowd of UNC students last March.
Monday he was in court to discuss letters he wrote to Eyewitness News and other news organizations from prison shortly after the attack. In those letters he admitted to driving his vehicle into "The Pit" at UNC to avenge the deaths of Muslims around the world.
During today's hearing, Taheri-azar yelled "death to America" as he entered the Orange County courtroom. "I hate all Americans," he said. "All Jews. May they all burn in hell. Death to Israel," yelled Taheri-azar.
Come on buddy, tell us how you really feel!

Thirty-Seven Years Ago
March 6, 1970 at 11:55 a.m.
Three members of the radical activist group known as the Weather Underground, Diana Oughton, Ted Gold and Terry Robbins, blew themselves straight to hell when the bomb they were building, which was intended to blow up a dance at Fort Dix, exploded in an otherwise quiet New York neighborhood.
Had they been better bomb-makers, instead of killing themselves, they would have killed an untold number of American soldiers. In the name of peace.
Luckily, the Weathermen's expertise at bomb-making left much to be desired.
The Weathermen's hatred of the United States manifested itself in the bombings of the U.S. Capitol building, New York City Police Headquarters, the Pentagon, and the National Guard offices in Washington, D.C. The Weathermen's leader, Bill Ayers summed up the Weathermen's ideology as follows: "Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, Kill your parents."
The Weathermen were radicals. They wanted their people to get involved, demonstrate, get arrested and force change down the throat of the "establishment." They fought at the Democratic Presidential Convention in 1968 and converged in Chicago in 1969 for an event that came to be known as "Days of Rage." The more violent extremists during that era were responsible for a score of bombings in places like Harvard University, various corporate headquarters and a number of government institutions. They praised Charles Manson and freed Dr. Timothy Leary from prison. Wherever there was violence and chaos in the name of dissent, the Weathermen were there.
Meet Bernadine Dohrn, leader of the Weather Underground:
At a "War Council" in Flint, Michigan in 1969, their leader Bernardine Dohrn praised the serial murderer Charles Manson: "Dig it. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them. They even shoved a fork into the victim's stomach. Wild." She then proclaimed that the time had come to launch the war against "Amerikkka" (the Weathermen always spelled America this way) and to form a Weather Underground to carry out terrorist activities.
The Weathermen claimed credit for 25 bombings over the next several years. They set bombs at the rebuilt Haymarket statue; a bathroom at the Pentagon; the Capitol barber shop; the New York City police headquarters; and a variety of other targets.
Dohrn's husband, Bill Ayers confessed that the bomb that killed the aforementioned Weather Underground members in New York was an anti-personnel weapon filled with nails and screws that would have killed or injured many at the Fort Dix dance. Ayers has recently, publicly acknowledged his feeling that his group should, in his opinion, have set off even more bombs.
For those of you who might be wondering where the rest of the Weathermen are, you need only look to our Universities, Bar Associations, and, the ACLU. That’s right. The ACLU. The unrepentant Dohrn is currently a law professor at Northwestern University. She also serves on the Board of the American Civil Liberties Union and committees of the American Bar Association. Her husband, and co-leader of the Weathermen Bill Ayers, is now Professor of Education at the University of Illinois. Teaching our children. Dig it.
Dohrn, Ayers and other members of the Weather Underground are currently under investigation in connection with a police officer killed by a bomb in 1970.
If they are indicted, they will likely have an easy time finding a lawyer since Ramsey Clark is no longer busy in Iraq, and Lynne Stewart, who has represented other members of the Weather Underground, received only a slap on the hand after her conviction for helping terrorists by smuggling messages of violence from one of her imprisoned clients -- the radical Egyptian sheik behind the 1993 WTC Bombing-- to his terrorist disciples on the outside.
Oh, and by the way... Weather Underground member Susan Rosenberg, implicated in the Nyack robbery, and Linda Evans, at different times wanted on a number of criminal charges, were apprehended carrying 740 pounds of explosives in 1985. Both acknowledged that the explosives were to be used to carry out additional bombings. Rosenberg was given 58 years in prison, Evans 40.
President Bill Clinton pardoned both women.

Burka Blues
In Afghanistan girls aren't supposed to play music or sing songs. But 25-year-old Nargiz didn't care. She started the Burka Band, the first Afghan girl band ever.
- At first I didn't believe it, when the German producer told me the song was a hit in Germany . It was fantastic, but at the same time, we also worried that somebody in Afghanistan would find out who we were because of all the attention, remembers Nargiz, who estimates that only 10 people in Afghanistan actually know who the faces behind the burkas in the band belong to.
- My mother wears a burka, I must wear a burka too.
We all wear a burka, we don't know who is who.
Blueee, burka blue.
- Of course it was a joke to sing in the burkas, but it was also necessary to wear them. If people in Afghanistan knew who the members of the Burka Band were, we could be attacked or killed because there are still a lot of religious fanatics here, says Nargiz, who hasn't told any of her friends that she has played in the Burka Band.
- I'd like to play again, but right now it is not possible. Last year there was a big bomb at a concert here in Kabul , and lots of people are still against female singers because the religous leaders condemn it. It will probably take 10 years before we will have real girl bands here in Afghanistan , says Nargiz, who now works in an international organisation in Kabul .
Amazing isn't it, that these girls could be put to death for such a thing.

Never Forget!
Today is the 14th anniversary of the bombing of the World Trade Center parking garage on February 26, 1993.
Seven Americans were murdered (including an unborn baby carried by one of the adult victims). Over 1,000 were injured.
The mastermind of the bombing, Ramzi Yousef, was convicted in 1998 and is presently rotting away in in prison. The spiritual leader of the terrorists who conducted the bombing, Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, is also rotting away in prison and will hopefully croak soon.
A small stone memorial in honor of the victims of the 1993 bombing was erected in the WTC. Of course, it was destroyed in the 9/11/01 attacks.
We should never forget the 1993 WTC bombing and the victims:
* John DiGiovanni, Valley Stream, New York
* Robert Kirkpatrick, Suffern, New York
* Steve Knapp, Manhattan, New York City
* Monica Smith, Seaford, New York (and unborn baby)
* William Macko, Bayonne, New Jersey
* Wilfredo Mercado, Brooklyn, New York City
In a conversation with an attorney only a few months after September 11, 2001, he said the most amazing thing about September 11, 2001. He said to me, "well, it is the first act of terrorism on US soil." You see, he had already forgotten.
The bomb in the garage was intended to cause one tower to fall into the other, and additional attacks were planned for the UN Building, the FBI Headquarters the Holland Tunnel, the Lincoln Tunnel, and the George Washington Bridge.
"My impression was that fighting terrorism, in general, and fighting al Qaeda, in particular, were an extraordinarily high priority in the Clinton administration -- certainly no higher priority. There were priorities probably of equal importance such as the Middle East peace process, but I certainly don't know of one that was any higher in the priority of that administration." Former Counter-Terrorism Official Richard Clark, during the 9/11 Commission Hearings
You have to wonder what alternate reality Mr. Clark was living in, as, rather than treat this attack as a declaration of war, the Clinton Administration chose to treat it as crime, using law enforcement agencies to investigate. And, two weeks after the 1993 WTC attack, President Clinton was at a defense plant talking about retoolling defense plants to peacetime production, at a cost of $1.5 billion dollars.
In all fairness, the FBI investigation resulted in the arrest and conviction of the terrorists who carried out the attack, but still, the trial did not bring awareness of the extent of the threat to America, instead, it lulled us into a false sense of security, believing that the bad guys were caught, convicted and locked up.
Nothing could be farther from the truth:
The investigation following the explosions linked several distinct groups to the bombing and revealed a conspiracy to target other New York City landmarks such as the United Nations building. One of these groups included five defendants who were arrested during a raid at a New York City garage in which law enforcement officials found the five mixing chemicals that were to be used in bombs. The men were charged with conspiring to bomb a building in the United Nations headquarters, the federal office building housing the FBI, and two tunnels under the Hudson River linking New York and New Jersey.
From this group, members of Fuqra, the FBI found links to 10 additional suspects and a federal grand jury indicted all 15 on charges that they plotted to bomb the United Nations and other New York City landmarks, and plotted to assassinate Egyptian leaders. Across the board, bail was denied. Fuqra is a radical Islamic sect whose followers are believed to be responsible for a string of crimes in the United States.
These groups still operate in the United States of America, and they pose a real threat to our safety and well being.
The events on February 26, 1993 should have been a wake-up call for America, but we went right back to sleep. Islamic terrorism had arrived on our shores and as a nation, we chose to ignore the threat. Today, the words of an eyewitness on February 26, 1993 are haunting:
Our enemies hated us then, as they hate us now. The only thing that changed was that on September 11, 2001 they succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. And, as the saying goes, nothing succeeds like success.

Speaking Truth to Power
The leader of a Dutch anti-immigration party will call for a vote of no-confidence in two Muslim government ministers next week, citing their dual nationality as the issue, a newspaper reported on Saturday.
In Saturday's interview, Wilders said: "I do not want to live in a country where some day six or seven members of cabinet could be Muslim," adding that Islamic laws were "barbaric", referring to four people who were beheaded in Saudi-Arabia this week.
"I want to encourage Muslims to leave the Netherlands voluntarily. The demographic development should become such, that the chance is small that we again have two Muslims in the cabinet." About 1 million Muslims live in the Netherlands out of a population of 16 million.
Last week Wilders called on Muslims to ditch half the teachings in the Koran and said he would chase Islam's Prophet Mohammad out of the country if he were alive today.

When you lie down with dogs, you get fleas
I spotted this over at MidEast Youth...
The story...
EL-ARISH, Egypt - Egyptian border and security authorities have arrested 23 Palestinians and Egyptians in the Sinai region, including one who was wearing an explosives belt and had crossed from Gaza to Egypt in an underground tunnel, security officials said Wednesday.
The authorities put their security forces in northern Sinai on high alert Wednesday in a bid to make sure that no more armed people were at large. Police set up more checkpoints and border guards were seen using iron poles to probe the ground near the newly found tunnel in a search for more.One of the Palestinian detainees, a man in his early 20s, was caught Tuesday as he tried to cross the Gaza-Egypt border in an underground tunnel near the Egyptian border city of Rafah. He had wrapped himself in an explosives belt, said the soldier who caught him, Mohammed Abdel Wahab.
The arrested man told Egyptian state security officials that he had been plotting an attack with other Palestinians in Sinai, said an official who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
Oh come on Patrick, they're just fighting for their freedom from oppression, remember? Why don't you just give your "brothers" a state on some of your land? Share some of your "bread and butter" with them? If you do, maybe they won't blow you to bits.
Yeah, yeah, I know, its easy for you to support them when they are only killing joos...

Score one for the Good Guys!
Guantanamo inmates denied legal challenge
WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that foreign-born prisoners seized as potential terrorists and held in Guantanamo Bay cannot challenge their detention in U.S. courts, a key victory for President George W. Bush’s anti-terrorism plan.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled 2-1 that civilian courts no longer have the authority to consider whether the military is illegally holding the prisoners — a decision that will strip court access for hundreds of detainees with cases currently pending.
Barring federal court access was a key provision in the Military Commissions Act, which Bush pushed through Congress last year to set up a system run by the Defence Department to prosecute terrorism suspects.
At the White House, deputy press secretary Dana Perino called the decision “a significant win” for the administration and said the Military Commissions Act provides “sufficient and fair access to courts for these detainees.”
Under the commissions act, the government can indefinitely detain foreigners who have been designated as “enemy combatants” and authorizes the CIA to use aggressive but undefined interrogation tactics.
Mostly criticized by Democrats and civil libertarians was a provision that stripped U.S. courts of the authority to hear arguments from detainees who said they were being held illegally.
Well! Judges who actually read the law, know the law and make their ruling based on the law! I'm impressed, especially after reading this:
Released Gitmo Detainee Arrested En Route to Iraq
Fahd al-Utaibi a/k/a Naif Fahd Al Aseemi Al Utaibi arrived in Saudi Arabia May 18, 2006 from Guantanamo, along with 14 others released by the US. He is currently on trial in Yemen for forging travel documents in order to join the jihad in Iraq.
The left, and the mainstream media will ignore this story and most of America will never know the true nature of the animals stored at Gitmo, being fed and clothed and coddled with American tax payer dollars.
Bottom line... the bastard should have been shot while trying to escape.

There is no terrorist threat
NY Man Charged With Trying To Fund Terror
Abdul Tawala Ibn Ali Alishtari, 53, of Ardsley, N.Y., pleaded not guilty in U.S. District Court in Manhattan to an indictment accusing him of terrorism financing, material support of terrorism and other charges. The charges carried a potential penalty of 95 years in prison.
Alishtari, also known as Michael Mixon, was detained pending a court appearance next week after Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan S. Kolodner said Alishtari was a danger to the community and a risk to flee. He was arrested on Thursday in Manhattan, prosecutors said.
The indictment said Alishtari tried to support terrorists between June and December by accepting an unspecified amount of money to transfer $152,000 that he believed was being sent to Pakistan and Afghanistan to support an Afghanistan terrorist training camp.
He believed the money would be used to fund the purchase of night vision goggles and other equipment, the indictment said.
He was also charged with money laundering for allegedly causing the transfer on Aug. 17 of about $25,000 from a bank account in New York to a bank account in Montreal, Canada. The money was to be used to provide material support to terrorist, prosecutors said.
The indictment also charged him with wire fraud conspiracy and wire fraud. It said he devised a scheme to administer and promote a fraudulent loan investment program known as "Flat Eletronic Data Interchange" through which Alishtari and others fraudulently obtained millions of dollars from investors by promising high guaranteed rates of return.

Is anyone listening?
Palestinian leader to Al-Qaeda: "We hate the Americans more than you!"
by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook- Jan. 3, 2007
A former Palestinian Authority (PA) Minister from Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah party has wished Al Qaeda success in its attacks against the US, and in its targeting of President George W. Bush. The Fatah leader, Abu Ali Shahin, said in an interview on official PA TV: "Do to Bush whatever you want, and we wish you success... We are fighting the Americans and hate the Americans more than you!"
"Oh [Al-Qaeda] brother, leave us and focus on your business. You have Bush! Do to Bush what you want, and we wish you success with Bush, even more. I, Abu Ali Shahin, wish you success with Bush...
Whoever is interested in creating a split in the Palestinian camp, is not serving anyone but the Americans and their protégé, the Zionist Imperialist Project. We are fighting the Americans and hate the Americans more than you!
We know we are described as enemies of the Americans. About Americans, we say, publicly: the central, head enemy to the Arab Palestinian people and to the national struggle, is this American leadership embodied by the White House and this George Bush sitting there.”

The Charlie Daniels Soapbox
An Open Letter to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi
Dear Sir and Madam:
You have said often enough that you don't believe in the war in Iraq and that you want to bring the troops home. Yet all you do is talk and sign non-binding resolutions which only goes to show that you really don't mean what you say about ending the war or that you're just playing political games and in doing so giving aid and comfort to a dedicated enemy.
Now if you're serious about ending the war you have the means and the votes to do just that. Simply cut off the funding for the troops, bring them all home and the American people can transfer the deed to this war and the ramifications of what you do to the Democrat party and you can live with the results.
You say you support the troops, but that has to be a lie. If you supported them and you truly think the war is wrong, you'd bring them home or either dispense with the poisonous rhetoric and get in behind them and help them get the job done.
You can't have it both ways. If you support the troops do something. Your party won a majority in both houses, so you have control so take the responsibility.
Of course, I think you should remember that when the terrorists follow us home from Iraq and start their attacks on American soil it's too late, so you'd better have a plan to deal with it. Do you have a plan?
And if Iran goes into Iraq and makes it a staging ground for Al Qaida to plan and carry out attacks all over the western world you'll need to deal with that. Do you have a plan?
And if Iran decides to go into Kuwait and cut off the oil flow from the Persian Gulf, you'll need a way to make up for the shortfall. Do you have a plan?
The world would look at us as a country that has not finished a commitment to war since 1945. Do you have a plan for dealing with that?
The purpose of this letter is to call your bluff. I don't believe you have the guts to do anything but talk and talk is cheap. Oh you have no shortage of words but I seriously doubt the amount of backbone you have.
Do you really think that signing a non binding resolution is really fooling anybody into thinking you're anything less than career politicians trying to tip the scales of the O08 Presidential Election.
What you're doing is silly and dangerous. If you really don't like what's going on, change it, do something about it. You've got the power but have you got the guts?
Pray for our troops.
What do you think?
God Bless America

Just another troubled youth
Utah gunman, 18, was Muslim from Bosnia
The 18-year-old gunman who killed five people in a crowded Utah shopping mall was a Bosnian Muslim refugee who was prepared to kill many more, say investigators.
An off-duty police officer having an early Valentine's Day dinner with his wife was credited today with cornering Sulejmen Talovic, exchanging fire with him until other officers arrived to shoot and kill the gunman.
The trench-coated teenager wanted to "to kill a large number of people" and probably would have killed many more if not for the off-duty officer, Police Chief Chris Burbank said.
I know, its WND, but here in the states, the mainstream media won't tell the public he's molsem, just that he was a refugee from Bosnia. Serbannia is reporting it too, under the headline: Bosnian Muslim goes on a killing spree in US mall and everyone is reporting that there is no motive. Of course there's a motive, 72 virgins.
This happens in Israel all the time and they call it what it is... terrorism.
Fox News is reportig that his aunt says he was "such a good boy." Yeah, sure he was... except for that murdering random innocent people thingie...

Bloody Hands
Today, in Israel, a 21-year-old Gaza resident and member of Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades blew himself up in an Eilat "Lachmim" bakery, murdering three people and wounding others.
Al Aksa is, of course, part of Fatah, the United States' preferred terrorist group, armed and sponsored by our State Department through Israel's Partner in Peace, Mohammed Abbas to the tune of billions of dollars every year.
This is the first time there has been a terrorist suicide bombing in the southernmost city of Eilat. Meanwhile, Qassam rockets continue to rain down near Sederot and Ashkelon while rocks and molotov cocktails are thrown at Jews in other cities.
Rumors are making the rounds that the Israeli Government is planning to "temporarily" evacuate Israelis from communities around the Gaza strip, to protect Jews from slaughter by terrorists who have moved into Gaza.
Considering the success of the evacuation of Gaza for the same reason, and the cooperation of our State Department in providing money and arms to the terrorists, we can only assume that eventually, little by little, town by town, inch by inch, the Israeli Government will evacuate the entire State of Israel to protect Jews from slaughter by palestinian terrorists.
And then, the terrorist dream of destroying the Little Satan will have been made true, with the help of the United States and with the approval of the international community. And then, the palestinians can turn their full attention to the terrorist dream of destroying the Big Satan, using the same ways and means.
-----------------
UPDATE: The proud mother of a murderer speaks:
The mother of Muhammad Faisal Saksak, the 21-year-old suicide bomber who carried out Monday's attack in Eilat, said she was aware of her son's plan to blow himself up and that she had wished him "good luck."
"I wished him good luck and I knew of his decision to become a martyr. Although I was aware of his intention, I did not know exactly when he was planning to carry out a martyrdom attack."
The mother of nine said she was proud of her son for carrying out the suicide attack.
Ruwaidah said she was prepared to "sacrifice" all her sons "for the sake of the Aksa Mosque and Palestine."
and the wife of a murderer speaks:
Muhammad's wife, Nadia, said she shared the family's sense of "pride" for what her husband did.
"When I heard that he was martyred, I felt very proud of him," she said. "Why shouldn't I feel so when I know that he died for the sake of Palestine and Al-Aksa? It's much better than dying in the internal fighting between Fatah and Hamas."
These are Israel's partners in peace, and they flourish with the help of our state department and the international community. If they were your neighbors, you would kill them before you allowed them to kill your family.

A Rendezvous With Destiny
The more things change, the more they remain the same:
There is no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there is only one guaranteed way you can have peace--and you can have it in the next second--surrender.
Admittedly there is a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson in history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face--that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight and surrender. If we continue to accommodate, continue to back and retreat, eventually we have to face the final demand--the ultimatum. And what then? When Nikita Khrushchev has told his people he knows what our answer will be? He has told them that we are retreating under the pressure of the Cold War, and someday when the time comes to deliver the ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary because by that time we will have weakened from within spiritually, morally, and economically. He believes this because from our side he has heard voices pleading for "peace at any price" or "better Red than dead," or as one commentator put it, he would rather "live on his knees than die on his feet." And therein lies the road to war, because those voices don't speak for the rest of us. You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin--just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard 'round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn't die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well, it's a simple answer after all.
You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, "There is a price we will not pay." There is a point beyond which they must not advance. This is the meaning in the phrase of Barry Goldwater's "peace through strength." Winston Churchill said that "the destiny of man is not measured by material computation. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we are spirits--not animals." And he said, "There is something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty."
You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.
Ronald Reagan

A Pledge worth taking!
A pledge worth taking if you care about national security.
From Hugh Hewitt:
If the United States Senate passes a resolution, non-binding or otherwise, that criticizes the commitment of additional troops to Iraq that General Petraeus has asked for and that the president has pledged, and if the Senate does so after the testimony of General Petraeus on January 23 that such a resolution will be an encouragement to the enemy, I will not contribute to any Republican senator who voted for the resolution. Further, if any Republican senator who votes for such a resolution is a candidate for re-election in 2008, I will not contribute to the National Republican Senatorial Committee unless the Chairman of that Committee, Senator Ensign, commits in writing that none of the funds of the NRSC will go to support the re-election of any senator supporting the non-binding resolution.
I accept this pledge.
Also, from Hugh:
Take the pledge, and tell the NRSC:
NRSC
Ronald Reagan Republican Center
425 2nd Street, NE
Washington, DC 20002
202.675.6000
webmaster@gopsenators.comThen e-mail Senator McConnell and Senator Ensign, and tell them too. Senator McConnell's phone number is (202) 224-2541. Senator Ensign's phone number is (202) 224-6244.
GOP activists and donors built the GOP senate delegation, as well as the majority that was punted away. They can disassemble it as well, and GOP support for a neoappeasement resolution is exactly the way to start that process.
The Congressional GOP has to realize it cannot have it both ways --you can't be for victory after you were against it.
And GOP senators --alone or as a group-- definitely cannot count on the support of the base if any of them vote for appeasement.
As my good friend Beth put it:
You can take the pledge online at The Truth Laid Bear, and the NRSC will be notified. And since it’s online, so will anyone who cares–i.e., others on the Hill that are watching. And they ARE watching.This matters, y’all. This isn’t just about supporting Bush; it’s about showing the Iraqis that we are not weak-kneed, fair-weather friends to those who need our help, and that we aren’t afraid to do what it takes to get the job done. Y’all know that’s what those serving in uniform are waiting for, because they aren’t going all wobbly. It’s their lives on the line. Too bad some in the Senate place their own “political survival” higher in their priorities than the actual lives of our troops and our national security.

Commentary from Joseph Farrah
It's becoming popular to talk about "the root causes of terrorism."
Lately, we've heard:
- The root cause of terrorism is foreign domination and control of Muslim resources.
- The root cause of terrorism is the hatred of the Western way of life.
- The root cause of terrorism is alienation.
- The root cause of terrorism is poverty and illiteracy.
- The root cause of terrorism is the moral decadence of the West.
- The root cause of terrorism is the West's support for Israel.
Do you know what I think is the root cause of terrorism?
It works.
By that I mean those using terrorism in the world today do it because it achieves their objectives.
Simple. And I think beyond dispute.
No place does it work more effectively than in Israel – once seen as a bulwark against Islamist terrorism. If you want a case study in the enabling of terrorism, the encouraging of terrorism, the feeding and cultivation of terrorism, look no further than the Jewish state.
Let's look at the cost of unrelenting terrorism in the Jewish state over the last six years since Ariel Sharon was elected as a hard-line prime minister to put an end to attacks but who betrayed his constituency:
- 56 percent of Israelis support negotiating even with Hamas, a terrorist organization sworn to the Jewish state's destruction;
- 75 percent of Israelis believe their country is struggling for its very survival;
- The more Israel has acceded to the demands of terrorists, the more terrorism has increased;
- The more Israel has unilaterally retreated from lands won in hard-fought combat, the more emboldened its attackers have become;
- The more accommodating Israel is with the terrorists, the higher become the demands on the Jewish state by international busybodies who blame their own problems with terrorists on Israel.
It's a vicious cycle. But it is a cycle benefiting the terrorists – demonstrating its effectiveness as a tactic.
What do the terrorists want besides killing and terrifying people?
Ultimately, it is very simple. They want the entire world subjugated to Islamic rule and law.
There are only two ways to stop the terrorism:
- Surrender and live under the domination of Islam.
- Soundly defeat the Islamic jihad.
You can't talk to it. You can't buy it off. You can't understand it. You can't win it over with compassion. You can't reason with it. You can't negotiate with it. You can't bargain with it. You can't appease it away. You can't wish it away.
In fact, this is an enemy that cannot be seduced by expressions of "tolerance" and gestures of goodwill. It is actually repulsed by such moves – seeing them as weakness to be exploited further and signs that their strategy is winning the day.
Need I remind you this is a conflict with some history.
It didn't begin Sept. 11, 2001, or even with the first World Trade Center bombing or the Iranian revolution of 1979.
This is a war President Jefferson fought.
This is a war that led to Christopher Columbus' voyage west and, ultimately, the discovery of America.
This is a war that nearly led to the conquest of Europe before that.
And it may well lead to the conquest of Europe in the 21st century.
As I have said before, it would not be inaccurate to say this conflict has defined world history for the last 1,300 years.
In the 20th century, we witnessed the high cost of appeasement. We saw it with Nazi Germany. We saw it with the Soviet Union. We saw it with Communist China. And, lately, we see it in the Middle East and in the war with jihadism.

Reason # 4573034768 why I'm islamophobic
Meet Omar Brooks a/k/a Abu Izzadeen:
[The] Prophet Mohammed's message to nonbelievers is: "I come to slaughter all of you."
"We are the Muslims. We drink the blood of the enemy, and we can face them anywhere. That is Islam and that is jihad."
Bonus Reason # 4573034769 - Meet Anjem Choudary:
"All of the world belongs to Allah, and we will live according to the Sharia wherever we are," said Choudary, a lawyer. "This is a fundamental belief of the Muslims."
Asked if he believes in democracy, he said, "No, I don't at all."
"One day, the Sharia will be implemented in Britain. It's a matter of time."
"I happen to be in an ideological and political war," Choudary said. "My brothers in al Qaeda and other Mujahedeen are involved in a military campaign."
For you leftists who are wringing your hands and searching for the reason why these people hate, the article has a quip from Hanif Qadir, who claims to be one of the ever elusive moderates:
There are some who believe "blowing people up is quite cool," Qadir said.
Qadir asked them why that was justified.
"The answers that I got back is: When a bomb goes off in Baghdad or in Afghanistan and innocent women and children are killed over there, who cares for them?
There you have it! Anjem Choudary asks "What are Muslims supposed to do when they are being killed in the streets in Afghanistan and Baghdad and Palestine?"
Well you stupid jihadist, why don't you ask yourself, who is it that is killing these moslems in the streets of Afghanistan, Baghdad and Palestine? The answer is, moslems, that's who!
Moslems blow up innocent people somewhere in the world, every single day, they do it on purpose, they target moslem women and children and blow them to bits. We put our troops in harm's way trying to keep moslems from blowing up moslems and you're trying to tell me that the reason why moslems hate the west and want to wage jihad on us, is because we're the only ones who care enough to try to stop moslems from blowing up moslems.
Now there's some rational thinking every democrat can understand.
Except... we know you're full of shit Anjem, and its your buddy Omar who is speaking truth to power:
[The] Prophet Mohammed's message to nonbelievers is: "I come to slaughter all of you."
"We are the Muslims. We drink the blood of the enemy, and we can face them anywhere. That is Islam and that is jihad."
There you have the true face of islam.

There is no terrorist threat
I'm sure its all just a misunderstanding or a miscommunication or something...
WEST PALM BEACH -- The Palm Beach County Hazardous Materials Unit decontaminated five people who came in contact with Tellurium, a poisonous powder, found in the mailroom of the county courthouse on Thursday.
None of the people who touched the powder had an adverse reaction, according to West Palm Beach Fire Rescue spokesman Phil Kaplan.
Authorities received a call about suspicious powder inside two envelopes at about 11:45 a.m. The mailroom and two judges' chambers on the ninth floor, where the letters were taken, were immediately sealed.The five people who touched the envelopes were taken to a red, decontamination tent outside the courthouse where they stripped and were sprayed down before donning paper suits.
Nothing to see here except what is probably a silly stupid intimidation attempt on behalf of some disgruntled litigant. Move along.

Blast rips through U.S. embassy compound in Athens
ATHENS (Reuters) - An explosion ripped through the U.S. embassy compound in central Athens on Friday but no one was hurt, a U.S. embassy spokesman said.
Greek anti-terrorist officers were on the scene and investigating. It was not clear what caused the blast.
"There are no injuries from the blast. The investigation of the cause is continuing," the U.S. embassy spokesman said.
"We are investigating the cause of the explosion. We are not ruling anything out," a senior police official told Reuters.
Thank G-d no one was hurt.

Radicals can't be stopped
That's not my title, its from Australia's biggest selling newspaper, the Herald Sun:
Attorney General Phillip Ruddock said today there was not enough evidence to ban the Hizb ut-Tahrir group despite its continuing call for Australia to become part of a Caliphate or "Khilafah".
The group, already banned across the Middle East, the United Kingdom and Germany - will host a Sydney conference this month to promote an Islamic takeover.
In what appears to be a call to arms, the video features slogans attacking the United States and capitalism, and features militant anti-Western Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad shaking his fist, before the slogan "embrace the revival"
"The Muslim world has awakened from its slumber … and is ready to resume its political destiny.
"From the darkness will emerge a new light," the video says.
Articles published on the group's website claim that Israel is an illegal state, that "Iraq is an occupied land" and its residents have a duty to resist the Coalition.
A conference advertisement posted on internet site youtube.com shows crowds of Muslims marching, praying and protesting to dramatic and warlike music and explosions.
That's the conference ad they're talking about, but there's plenty more on You Tube, and most of it is down right scary.
On a tip from the now defunct Reactionista Blog, I wrote about the Hizb back in July of 2005, when they were calling for the killing of Jews in Britain and playing hide and seek with the articles on their website when they got caught.
For all you looney leftist trolls lurking about and trashing my comments, pay attention! This is not a fox news alert here, this is the mainstream media and its telling you what the followers of islam have planned for you. What can you expect? Read up on what life is like under islamic law so you know what the fruits of your labor will be, and what legacy you will leave for your children and your children's children. And learn to spell, dammit!

Another Victory for Allah
"We have withdrawn as part of our military strategy," said Sheik Mohamoud Ibrahim Suley, an official with the Islamic council in Mogadishu.
"We woke up from our sleep this morning and the town was empty of troops, not a single Islamic fighter," Ibrahim Mohamed Aden, a resident of Bur Haqaba said.
and
Islamic fighters were also reportedly retreating on two other fronts. On the southern front, government troops captured Dinsor.
It seem that "Peace through superior firepower" is the lesson of the day, but its not the only lesson to be learned:
... just two weeks ago an Islamic cleric said anyone who did not pray five times a day would be executed.
and...
"The war is entering a new phase. We will fight Ethiopia for a long, long time and we expect the war to go everyplace." -- Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed, leader of the Council of Islamic Courts' executive body.
Ahmed declined to explain is comments in greater detail, but some Islamic leaders have threatened a guerrilla war to include suicide bombings in Ethiopia's capital...
Now you are looking at the true face of the war, the true face of Islam.
Let's just hope Condi Rice stays out this war.

Fearsome Warriors Indeed
Iraqi soldiers bit the heads off frogs and ate the heart of a rabbit as signs of courage on Wednesday at a ceremony to transfer Najaf province, home to one of Shi'ite Islam's holiest shrines, from U.S. to Iraqi control.
Politicians, tribal and religious leaders and soldiers watched displays of military prowess and one demonstration, hailed as a display of courage, in which five soldiers stopped before the grandstand to bite the heads off frogs.
A sixth holding a live rabbit slit open its stomach and ate its heart before tossing the carcass to his comrades to chew on.
Troops paraded round in shining new vehicles decked with pink ribbons and flowers...
Yup, nothing shows strength like biting the head off a frog and eating the heart of a rabbit.
G-d help us.

Ah, Satire...
In a brilliant piece of satire, Robert J. Avrech nails the terrorist reaction to the ISG Report:
Ahmed: Allah be praised, we can keep the Americans talking right up until the moment we slit their infidel throats.
Muhammed: Americans have no stomach for war or for casualties.
Ahmed: All we have to do is wait them out. Americans have no patience.
Muhammed: We must keep killing as many civilians as possible.
Ahmed: Women and children are fine targets. Americans cannot deal with such deaths. They do not understand that dead Muslims are martyrs and will go to heaven for the cause.
Muhammed: We don't even have to kill that many American soldiers, the blessed Martyrs killed more in one day in the Twin Towers than we have managed to kill in all the five years the Americans have been here in Iraq. But the Americans are soft, decadent, and only want to play video games, and watch Pamela Anderson movies.
Read the rest, and remember:

It begins
Iran, the world's fourth-largest oil exporter, plans to reduce its use of the U.S. dollar in world trade and increase use of the euro, two Tehran-based newspapers reported.
The Tehran Times said today Iran has started substituting euros for dollars in oil sales, citing an unidentified person at the Oil Ministry. Iran Daily reported Iran wants to cut its dollar-based transactions to a minimum, citing Minister of Economy Davoud Danesh-Ja'fari.
According to Bloomberg, Iran has added a clause to its oil contracts allowing it to demand payment in the euro and other currencies since the US decided last September to block Saderat Bank (one of Iran’s biggest state-owned lenders) from doing business in the US as punishment for the Bank’s support of Hezbollah and Hamas.
The timing on this is critical, as the dollar touched a 20-month low against the euro this week, and central banks in the Middle East including the United Arab Emirates have plans to convert some of their dollar reserves into euros.
and... EU-Iran-oil
A spokesperson for the European Commission declined Wednesday to comment on media reports that Iran has started replacing dollar with euro in majority of its crude oil exchanges in the last several months.
"I have no comment. This would be a free decision for a government or company to use a particular currency than its own for invoicing the products that it sells," said EU spokesperson for economic affairs Amelia Torres.
"It is not something we encourage or discourage. We leave it to the markets and the forces in the market," added Torres.
If the dollar drops (and it has been dropping) the Chinese – who hold more dollars than almost anyone else – are losing lots of money. That's not a bad thing, since it should encourage them to stop buying dollars and start selling them; and allow their currency to rise relative to the dollar.
That's all well and good, but if the dollar gets dumped, if it drops too far and too fast, everything we buy from the rest of the world is going to start costing a lot more. That's going to push inflation up and the only way we can continue to finance our budget deficit is to push up our interest rates.
This is called stagflation – inflation combined with no or negative growth. Wall Street ain't gonna like that.
Don't kid yourself or be mislead by the MSM. This is economic warfare, pure and simple.

What's next, Candygrams for Bin Laden?
I'm working my way through The Iraq Study Group Report.
RECOMMENDATION 34: The question of the future U.S. force presence must be on the table for discussion as the
national reconciliation dialogue takes place. Its inclusion will increase the likelihood of participation by insurgents and militia leaders, and thereby increase the possibilities for success.Violence cannot end unless dialogue begins, and the dialogue must involve those who wield power, not simply those who hold political office. The United States must try to talk directly to Grand Ayatollah Sistani and must consider appointing a highlevel American Shia Muslim to serve as an emissary to him. The United States must also try to talk directly to Moqtada al-Sadr, to militia leaders, and to insurgent leaders. The United Nations can help facilitate contacts.
After we get rid of Israel, of course.

What does that make US?
"Oh warrior brothers, this is a nation that will never be broken, it is a revolution that will never be defeated. This is a nation that gives an example every day that is imitated across the world. We gave the world the children of the RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenades), we gave the world the children stone (throwers), and we gave the world the male and female martyrdom-seekers (suicide bombers)."
- Ahmed Hales Abu Maher, Secretary of Fatah in Gaza, appearing on Palestinian Authority TV, operated under the direct supervision of Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority and the commander of the Fateh on Nov. 14
Such is the contribution of Israel's Partners in Peace.
I cannot help but wonder at the insanity of Condoleezza Rice as she once again sat down last week with the Commander of the Al Aksa Brigades, nodding in agreement with their plans and offering them assistance in their goals, promising arms, and giving them her seal of approval.
Why? What could possibly rationalize and justify the United States of America's arming of a terrorist group?
You might care enough to ask, but you won't get an answer. When the US State Department was asked if Rice would ask Abbas to instruct his security forces to try and stop the rocket attacks and whether Abbas would disarm Al Aksa Brigades, the answer was "No Comment."
No comment on the fact the Al Aksa Brigades took credit for firing missiles into the Western Negev region of Israel, after a cease fire had been declared by Abbas and by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
No comment, just an offer to arm Abbas and his Fatah party with 6,000 rifles, despite the concrete evidence that the Fatah continues to carry out terror attacks in coordination with the Hamas.
No comment on why the United States is aiding and supporting a group that is listed by the office of the U.S. Secretary of State as an active terrorist organization.
We will starve terrorists of funding, turn them one against another, drive them from place to place, until there is no refuge or no rest. And we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime. --U.S. President George W. Bush
In the War on Terror, we are our own worst enemy.

Duck and Cover
Mac over at Beast Media turns back the clock to a time of innocence, when Americans believed they could somehow survive a nuclear attack on our country, to a time when children and adults practiced "Duck and Cover" for safety, coached by Burt the Turtle.
I got a little teary-eyed watching it, watching children dive under their school desks, dive into doorways and dive off their bikes to curl up against the curb. Oh, the innocence of believing that "Duck and Cover" could help you survive a nuclear bomb!
Yet, at the same, they all had the jaded acceptance and recognition of the very real threat to our country, and our lives.
How times have changed. Today, we know that Duck and Cover ain't gonna work and if the bomb comes, you put your head between your knees and kiss your ass goodbye. Today, our enemies are not the commies across the pond, our enemies are the followers of islam, and they are everywhere, even here.
Despite a nuclear Iran chanting death to America, many of us believe that we need not fear one giant blast, but we all know that dirty suitcase bombs are a distinct possibility. And yet, at the same time, there are so many Americans that believe that there is no terrorist threat.
We are not as innocent as we were in the 50s, but G-d help us, we are certainy not as smart either.

Something to be thankful for
The Sleepy Terrorist is gonna get a dirt nap!
The death sentence for convicted murderer Sgt. Hasan Akbar was approved late last week at Fort Bragg, N.C., by Lt. Gen. John R. Vines, commander if XXVIII Airborne Corps and court martial convening authority in the case.
Ya'll remember Akbar don't ya?
Akbar wrote in his diary that once he was sent to Iraq, "I am going to try and kill as many of them as possible."
Prosecutors have said Akbar told investigators he was worried that U.S. forces would harm fellow Muslims in the Iraq war.
Another entry said: "I will have to decide to kill my Muslim brothers fighting for Saddam Hussein or my battle buddies. I am hoping to get into a position so I don't have to take any crap from anyone anymore."
Elsewhere, he wrote: "I may not have killed any Muslims, but being in the Army is the same thing. I may have to make a choice very soon on who to kill."
In the end, Akbar made his choice, he killed Army Capt. Christopher Seifert, 27, with a shot in the back, and Air Force Maj. Gregory Stone, 40, suffered 83 shrapnel wounds. Another 14 soldiers were injured.
Akbar used grenades and a firearm to murder his fellow members of the 101st Airborne Division at Camp Pennsylvania in Kuwait days after the start of the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
Army Capt. Christopher Seifert, 27, and Air Force Maj. Gregory Stone, 40, were killed; 14 other soldiers were injured.
They charged Akbar with two counts of premeditated murder and three counts of attempted premeditated murder.
Whatever they do to him, I hope it hurts!

and... words
TEHRAN (AFP) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said the world is "rapidly becoming Ahmadinejadised" and global leaders have started following in his footsteps, press reports said.
"I have travelled to all the continents except for one and I know what is going on out there. Everybody is eager to hear the Iranian people's message," the reformist Aftab-Yazd newspaper quoted the president as saying Tuesday.
"The world is rapidly becoming Ahmadinejadised."
The austere hardliner said that Iran's "two big missions are constructing the country and introducing a model for humanity."
Ahmadinejadise Huh? I guess that's how you say "annihilated" in arabic.

One more time
Repeat after me: There is no terrorist threat.
It was just a radioactive pipe bomb. Nothing to be concerned about.
Oh... and while we're on the subject...
A SELF-proclaimed British multi-millionaire named Mohammed Islam who was arrested on the Gold Coast with almost $120,000 in cash is under investigation as to whether he has terrorist connections.
Queensland police yesterday refused to comment on their investigation into the man, 22, but at this stage there is reportedly no evidence to link him with terrorist activity.
Islam allegedly had $118,000 in $50 notes in a suitcase and a mobile phone concealed in his rectum when he was arrested at a Surfers Paradise bus station on Thursday night.
Islam faced Southport Magistrate's Court yesterday charged with possessing tainted property but police prosecutor Sarah Fox said more serious charges could be laid.
Constable Fox said Customs officers in Sydney had found no large sums of money in Islam's luggage when he arrived in the country and he had not declared any.
A check with Interpol revealed Islam had supplied police with a false address in London.
Constable Fox told the court Islam had a criminal history in England relating to fraud, theft, public disorder and drug offences.
Spotted in the comments at the Rott: "It seems perfectly reasonable and rational for Mohammed Islam to have a phone up his ass. That is where his head is."

Thinkers to think about
In case you had any doubts about whether or not radical islam has arrived in America, yesterday afternoon, Glenn Beck took a call from a member of the Islamic Thinker’s Society of New York.
My good friend Vinnie took the audio of that call and converted it to video format to facilitate easier posting. Due to size and time constraints, the audio is in two parts. The image that goes along with the audio comes from an Islamic Thinker’s rally held in New York City to protest the Mohammed cartoons.

Repeat after me
A man was arrested at Detroit Metropolitan Airport after officials say they found him carrying more than $78,000 in cash and a laptop computer containing information about nuclear materials and cyanide.
Sisayehiticha Dinssa, an unemployed U.S. citizen, was arrested Tuesday after a dog caught the scent of narcotics on cash he was carrying, according to an affidavit filed in court.
When agents asked him if he had any cash to declare, he said he had $18,000, authorities said. But when agents checked his luggage, they found an additional $59,000. When they scrolled through his laptop, they said they found the mysterious files.
Dinssa, who is from Dallas, arrived in Detroit from Nigeria by way of Amsterdam and was headed for Phoenix.
I'm sure there's a perfectly logical explanation.

The Sultan Speaks
And you shoud be listening...
"... I'm not saying there should be an official war declared between Christianity and Islam. But the war cannot be declared as one between 'right and wrong' because to most right and wrong are abstract ideas interpreted subjectively. My right is not necessarily your right. It may be your wrong.
Muslims feel that right involves murdering their daughters, bombing skyscrapers and expanding the dominion of Islam. Convincing them that's wrong requires displacing their current moral system with an alternative moral system. Since their moral system is religiously based, you cannot displace their system of belief without displacing their religion. Islam."

The "Plan" is revealed, in all its glory
Posted by LindaSoG at 11:21 AM | Comments (1)
ABC's Rosie O'Donnell: 'Don't Fear the Terrorists, They're Mothers and Fathers'
No one told me Rosie was doing comedy these days...
Rosie O'Donnell: "Faith or fear, that's your choice. You can walk through life believing in the goodness of the world, or walk through life afraid of anyone who thinks different than you and trying to convert them to your way of thinking. And I think that this country–"
Elisabeth Hasselbeck: "Well, I'm a person of faith, so I, but I also believe–"
O'Donnell: "Well, then, get away from the fear. Don't fear the terrorists. They're mothers and fathers."
I guess Rosie has never heard of Palestinian Mother of the Year and Hamas politician Um Nidal, who is also known as Mariam Farahat. Um became famous when she was filmed bidding her 17-year-old son Mohammed farewell to die through a terrorist attack. She ordered him "not to return except as a shahid [martyr for Allah]." Ordering one son to die was not enough, thus far, Um sent three of her sons to die and murder others.
When a mother orders three of her children to kill themselves and to kill innocent civilians with them, what better candidate could you have to help run the new Palestinian government?
Today, Mariam Farahat, is part of the Palestinian parliament and she has this to say to mothers everwhere:
Umm Nidal on raising children:
Ever since [my son] Muhammad was a little boy, he carried and used a weapon. This was natural for him. It is not that he all of a sudden took up a weapon, carried out operations, and so on. This was a gradual process for him, ever since he was little.
Umm Nidal on sibling rivalry:
There was an operation that was about to take place - the same operation that he eventually carried out. [My eldest son] Nidal, may he rest in peace, said to me: "I want to give this operation to my brother Muhammad." He insisted on this because he loved Muhammad very much. He chose him. He chose him for the operation over the rest of the guys. Some of the guys were even a little mad at him for not considering them for this operation, but he said: "By Allah, this operation leads to Paradise, and I will choose nobody but my brother."
Umm Nidal on what boys want:
Allah be praised, we have thousands of young men. They all yearn for martyrdom for the sake of Allah. Some of them even cry when they do not get the chance to commit martyrdom. As long as we have such determination, we will prevail, Allah willing.
Umm Nidal on the meaning of life:
We believe in the faith charted for us by Allah, and believe that if someone is destined to die, he will die, even if he hides in a crate - but why shouldn't we take the initiative and die as martyrs? There is an abyss between one form of dying and the other. So why shouldn't we choose martyrdom? Allah has chosen us, from among all people, and has bestowed upon us the honor of Jihad in the front line of Palestine. So it is all the more fitting for us to initiate martyrdom, before death reaches us while we sit at home.
and finally, Umm Nidal's message to all the Muslim mothers, who want to raise their sons, and hope they will attain worldly things, university degrees, luxurious palaces, and fancy cars:
A Muslim mother should raise her children on prayer, good deeds, and, of course, on Jihad, which is one of the duties on which we should raise our children.
Jihad in Islam is a duty that one cannot forego. It is like any other religious duty. If we understand the true meaning of Islam, the notion of Jihad will be included among the Islamic duties, and in Palestine - an individual duty. If we are remiss in this duty, we sin.
Now, that might make you feel all warm and mushy inside Rosie, but mothers like Um Nidal scare the crap out of me.
Is Rosie listening to Condi Rice? Now that's really scary.

I love Rummy
Always have, always will:
In a question and answer session at Kansas State University on Thursday, outgoing Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was posed the following: “If you were going to give yourself a letter grade for your performance as Secretary of Defense, what grade would that be?”
As he answered, "Oh, I'd let history worry about that," Rumsfeld used his middle finger to scratch his nose.
It was classic Rummy moment.
While we're on the subject, I must say, I don't blame Rummy for retiring, why would he want to work under a Congress that doesn't support the troops or their mission? The answer to that question leads to another, what's next for our military?
A few thoughts on that from Out of the Race:
When all is said and done in connection with the Pentagon management shakeup, the Baker commission report and the Dems actively taking control of the legislative branch, I for one will be watching the reenlistment rate among the troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. I suspect many troops will opt to return to civilian life if they feel that they no longer have support from the policymakers, rather than be jerked around by people who think like John Kerry. And if the re-up rate goes down, original enlistments will probably decrease, too. Nobody wants to fight in a war that the movers and shakers don't want to win. That was true in Korea and Vietnam, and it's true now.
Any new trends should be apparent by March or so, if they are to happen. I guarantee you that any such change will be spun by the lamestream media as Bush's fault, probably accompanied by NYT and WaPo opinion pieces bemoaning what a dumb thing it was to get rid of Rumsfeld.
It sure would be interesting if Charlie Rangel's (D-NY) idea of reinstating the draft had to be implemented by a Democratic congress in order to maintain military force levels. I wonder what the political fallout from that would be in '08.
As an aside, I also think that diminished capacity of our conventional forces, especially the Army and Marines, tends to make nuclear war more likely, because weakness encourages the enemy to attack, and when you must fight, you fight with what you have. The alternative is capitulation.
It is indeed something to think about.

Channeling Bin Laden
First comes the de-funding of the War on Terror and then, we cut and run to Okinawa. As history repeats itself, what is the message to our enemies?
In our childhood… When we were young boys… I cannot forget the sight of the America forces leaving Viet Nam in helicopters, which carried their officers and soldiers. Some Vietnamese, who had fought alongside the Americans, tried to climb into these helicopters, but the [Americans] threw them to the ground, abandoned them, and left.
This is the sight I anticipate in our region.
...I advise all those who place their trust in the Americans to learn the lesson of Viet Nam. ...they will abandon them… just like they did to all those who placed their trust in them throughout history.
It's amazing how much he sounds like Bin Laden:
"You have been disgraced by Allah and you withdrew. The extent of your impotence and weaknesses has become very clear," he said. “When people see a strong horse and a weak horse, by nature they will like the strong horse.” Osama Bin Laden, 1996 on the U.S. retreat from Somalia in 1993
“After leaving Afghanistan, the Muslim fighters headed for Somalia and prepared for a long battle thinking that the Americans were like the Russians. The youth were surprised at the low morale of the American soldiers and realized, more than before, that the American soldier was a paper tiger and after a few blows……would run in defeat.” Osama Bin Laden, 1998
"We have seen in the last decade the decline of American power and the weakness of the American soldier who is ready to wage Cold Wars, but unprepared to fight long wars. This was proven in Beirut in 1983 when the Marines fled after two explosions. It also proves they can run in less than 24 hours, and this was also repeated in Somalia. Osama Bin Laden, 1998
We have reached the point when rhetoric becomes meaningless, and noble words ring hollow. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has suggested that there is a very high probability (70%) of a successful terrorist attack in America with weapons of mass destruction in the near future. Our illegal immigration policy increases that probability.
If the perception of American weakness persists in the minds of the Islamic fascists in Iraq or elsewhere, then we will be fighting them in our streets.
It's just a matter of time.

Dark Prince - Champion of Islam
Prince Charles is out to save the world and he's gonna use Islam to do it:
ISLAMABAD, Oct 31 (KUNA) -- Prince Charles Tuesday said that the world problems could be resolve by following Islamic teachings, as Islam is a religion of peace and brotherhood.
He said that clash of civilizations could be averted by following the teaching of Islam and Quraan.
This is, of course, the same Prince Charles who last year received an Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies Award for his contribution to understanding Islam, and who traveled to America, to defend and promote Islam, and to encourage America to "share his fondness for Islam."
Prince Charles, Champion of Islam
The Prince wants us to "share his fondness for Islam?" Yeah well, piss off Prince. I have no fondness for terrorists and I have no desire to revert to the 7th century either.
Let me tell you what terrorism is.
Terrorism is the the systematic use of terror as a means of coercion, the use of violence (as bombing) committed by groups in order to intimidate a population or government into granting their demands.
Prince Charles obviously views terrorists as "freedom fighters" and/or "militants" fighting oppression. Well Prince, why don't you tell that to the children of Beslan. Tell that to the teenagers in Israel blown up in a disco or a pizza parlor. Tell that to the 2,996 who died on 9/11, and the hundreds killed on a train in Spain. Tell that to the hundreds of Iraqis who were blown up in the street this year, oh, and the hundreds of your countrymen who died in the name of Islam.
The United States of America has done more to promote freedom throughout the world than any other country. We have sacrificed more and given more of ourselves, our people, our money and our time to stand up for freedom throughout the world. We will continue to do so, and we will never share your "fondness" for the monsters who killed those children in Beslan, who blew up the trains in Spain, who bomb pizzarias and buses in Israel, who flew planes into the WTC, and yes, who blew up your countrymen on July 11, 2005. These are the same people who are blowing up innocent Iraqis even as they try to rebuild their lives after Saddam.
Albert Einstein once said: "The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it."
The world is a dangerous place also because of the people who don't do evil but who make it easier for others to do it.
And that includes you Prince Charles, that includes you.

The world according to Condi
So, let's just say Afghanistan held elections, and they elected Osama Bin Laden as their President.
That would be okay, and we will send him money, and we will support him, just like we support the terrorist governments of Hamas and Hezbollah.
"If Hizbullah wants to be in politics...Hizbullah should be disarmed. You cannot have one foot in terror and the use of violence and the other foot in politics. It just doesn't work that way," Rice said in an interview with the privately-owned Lebanese Broadcasting Corp.
Why not? It works for Hamas.
"Hizbullah has to decide whether it's going to maintain its terrorist wing and remain a terrorist organization or whether it's going to...be part the political process," she said.
Hezbollah has decided, they want to have their cake and eat it too, and you're gonna feed it to them. After all, you set the precedent in your dealings with Hamas and what's good for one terrorist government is surely good for another.
It would appear that as far as Condi Rice is concerned, one man's terrorist is just another politician.
Now, if you can just get rid of them pesky Jews...

Regrets...
Dodd Regrets Not Standing Up For Terrorists
“Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., said he regretted being talked out of filibustering tough new tribunal legislation signed by president Bush on Tuesday, and plans to seek new legislation to overturn portions of the bill. Dodd denounced the measure, which civil liberty groups have said endangers many freedoms. The measure signed by Bush sets up military tribunals to try terror suspects and allows the introduction of evidence obtained through tough interrogation procedures.”
He also worried that the measure would result in severe treatment for American soldiers who are captured by enemies of the United States.
Dodd was campaigning in Iowa as he considers a bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Aw... that's just so special, and fair, and kind, and compassionate. Treatment of prisoners is so important in times of war. Just ask Pfc. Keith Matthew Maupin, who was captured by the enemy on April 9, 2004. Oh wait, you can't do that, can you? Of course you can't, because there has been no word from Pfc. Keith Matthew Maupin, we don't know what happened to him, what horrors he has suffered, or even whether he is dead or alive and I'm willing to bet that you don't know about him, or even care to contemplate what kind of treatment he has received in the hands of our enemies.
Tell ya what Dodd, why don't we give their captured soldiers the same treatment they give our captured soldiers?
Instead of putting a pair of women's panties put on their head, or... threatening them with a barking dog, or... stacking them with other naked terrorists into a pyramid, or putting the bastards on a leash, we could cut off/ mutilate their facial features, cut their heart out, cut off their testicles, and their penis and stuff that in their mouth, contort their arms and gouge out their eyes, drag their bodies behind a car, saw off their heads with a kitchen knife and then dump their bodies in the street, stuffed with explosives as a trap to kill their friends and countrymen who come to find them!!
That's what they do to us and hey, I'm all for fair and equal treatment.
Why don't you do something worthwhile Dodd, and find out what happened to Keith Maupin?

Treason doesn't pay
The New York Times Co. reported Thursday that its third-quarter 2006 profit from continuing operations plunged 39.2%.
At the New York Times Co., 3Q operating profit was down 48% from the same period in 2005 to $20.5 million on total revenues.
The Times Co. said it earned $14 million, or 10 cents per share, compared with $23.1 milion, or 16 cents per share, in the third quarter of 2005.
Advertising revenues decreased 5.1% and circulation revenues were down 1.3%.
Of course, they'll blame everything else and anything else, but we know the truth.

Today is the Day!
28 months. That's the price you pay when you conspire with terrorists against the United States of America.
Wild Thing reports that The Judge is a Clinton appointment. Figures.
Judge John George Koeltl:
Federal Judicial Service: Judge, U. S. District Court, Southern District of New York Nominated by William J. Clinton on April 26, 1994, to a seat vacated by Shirley Wohl Kram; Confirmed by the Senate on August 9, 1994, and received commission on August 10, 1994.
I'll be writing one last note to Judge Koeltl.
-----------------------------------
Hopefully, we have made a difference in the life of a terrorist. Thank you, all of you, who wrote letters to the judge.
Lynne "I am not a traitor" Stewart
Lynne has made her nine-page appeal to the Judge for leniency at her upcoming sentencing hearing, admitting that she broke the law but claiming "I am not a traitor" and the old standby that she was just doing her job as best as she knew how.
Except Lynne's terrorist sympathies and incinations show through, she writes of her compassion for this evil bastard who plotted against us, how she was moved to help him through compassion and understanding of his plight, and how she yearned to see him set free. Nowhere in any of her writings does Lynne Stewart any mention compassion for the victims.
“I still believe it was justifiable — but perhaps not in the way that I did it, ” Ms. Stewart said in a sober interview in a borrowed room in the Manhattan offices where she used to practice law. She was speaking of her actions in June 2000 to violate strict prison rules, known as special administrative measures, by publicizing a message from the sheik to his militant followers in Egypt.
Of course she had to admit it, after all, Lynne was recorded bragging about her skills as an actress which she used to fool the prison guards into believing she was a lawyer instead of a terrorist, saying, "I can get an award for it" which was translated to the Sheikh: "She is saying, Your Eminence, that she can get an award for acting (all three laugh).
"The September 11 terrorist attacks on America were an "armed struggle" like Hiroshima and Dresden. I have a lot of trouble figuring out why that is wrong, especially when people are placed in a position of having no other way." Lynne Stewart
"I don't have any problem with Mao or Stalin or the Vietnamese leaders or certainly Fidel locking up people they see as dangerous. Because so often, dissidence has been used by the greater powers to undermine a people's revolution." Lynne Stewart
"To rid ourselves of the entrenched, voracious type of capitalism that is in this country that perpetuates sexism and racism, I don't think that can come nonviolently." Lynne Stewart
"I don’t believe in anarchistic violence, but in directed violence. That would be violence directed at the institutions which perpetuate capitalism, racism, and sexism, and the people who are the appointed guardians of those institutions, and accompanied by popular support." Lynne Stewart
Today is the day Lynne Stewart will be sentenced for her crimes against America. Hopefully, the letters we sent asking Judge Koeltl to show no leniency to Lynne Stewart for her crimes and asking him to impose the maximum sentence allowed for plotting with terrorists will be heeded.
I say let Justice be served:

The War on Drugs
Canadian troops fighting Taliban militants in Afghanistan have stumbled across an unexpected and potent enemy -- almost impenetrable forests of marijuana plants 10 feet tall.
General Rick Hillier, chief of the Canadian defense staff, said Thursday that Taliban fighters were using the forests as cover. In response, the crew of at least one armored car had camouflaged their vehicle with marijuana.
"The challenge is that marijuana plants absorb energy, heat very readily. It's very difficult to penetrate with thermal devices. ... And as a result you really have to be careful that the Taliban don't dodge in and out of those marijuana forests," he said in a speech in Ottawa, Canada.
"We tried burning them with white phosphorous -- it didn't work. We tried burning them with diesel -- it didn't work. The plants are so full of water right now ... that we simply couldn't burn them," he said.
Even successful incineration had its drawbacks.
"A couple of brown plants on the edges of some of those [forests] did catch on fire. But a section of soldiers that was downwind from that had some ill effects and decided that was probably not the right course of action," Hiller said dryly.
One soldier told him later: "Sir, three years ago before I joined the army, I never thought I'd say 'That damn marijuana'."

Ten days and counting...
Please, pick up your pen and help lock up those amongst us who would aid terrorists in their quest to destroy us.
Please, pick up your pen and help send a message that America will not tolerate traitors amongst us! If you think you can't make a difference, you can! If you think you can't help punish those who would plot with our enemies against us, you can. But you have to do it now.
You have ten days, this is your last chance to make a difference in this case. Please, pick up your pen!
BACKGROUND:
Throughout her legal career, Lynne Stewart has represented terrorists, both domestic and international. From the notorious Weatherman of the 1960s to the islamic terrorists who bombed the World Trade Center in the 1990s, Lynne Stewart has made a career out of representing and supporting those who are sworn to destroy our Country.
On February 10, 2005, Lynne Stewart was convicted of helping terrorists by smuggling messages of violence from one of her imprisoned clients -- a radical Egyptian sheik -- to his terrorist disciples on the outside.
Lynne Stewart was convicted of providing material support, through a press conference and allowing access by her translator, to a terrorist conspiracy to kill persons outside of the United States and conspiring to defraud the U.S. government when acting as counsel to Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, the blind Egyptian cleric who was convicted in 1996 of plotting terrorist attacks against various sites in the New York City area. Finally caught in the snares of justice, Lynne Stewart is now facing sentencing for her crimes, and your help is needed to be sure she receives the maximum sentence allowable by law.
Lynne "I am not a traitor" Stewart
Lynne has made her nine-page appeal to the Judge for leniency at her upcoming sentencing hearing, admitting that she broke the law but claiming "I am not a traitor" and the old standby that she was just doing her job as best as she knew how.
Except Lynne's terrorist sympathies and incinations show through, she writes of her compassion for this evil bastard who plotted against us, how she was moved to help him through compassion and understanding of his plight, and how she yearned to see him set free. No where does she mention compassion for his victims.
Of course she had to admit it, after all, Lynne was recorded bragging about her skills as an actress which she used to fool the prison guards into believing she was a lawyer instead of a terrorist, saying, "I can get an award for it" which was translated to the Sheikh: "She is saying, Your Eminence, that she can get an award for acting (all three laugh).
"The September 11 terrorist attacks on America were an "armed struggle" like Hiroshima and Dresden. I have a lot of trouble figuring out why that is wrong, especially when people are placed in a position of having no other way." Lynne Stewart
Yes Lynne. The September 11 terrorist attacks on America were what any rational thinking person would consider to be an act of war against of America, and you helped it happen.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. This woman is truly an enemy of America. In her own words:
"I don't have any problem with Mao or Stalin or the Vietnamese leaders or certainly Fidel locking up people they see as dangerous. Because so often, dissidence has been used by the greater powers to undermine a people's revolution." Lynne Stewart
Lynne, I don't have any problem with the United States of America locking you up and locking you down too, with no outside communication with anyone for any reason, for the rest of your miserable life. In fact, I'm gonna help them do it. You are a terrorist Lynne, and you are dangerous. You should be incarcerated for life, and, I think you should pay for your incarceration out of your own personal private funds, saving the taxpayers the cost of your three hots and a cot.
and during her trial:
"To rid ourselves of the entrenched, voracious type of capitalism that is in this country that perpetuates sexism and racism, I don't think that can come nonviolently." Lynne Stewart
What America really needs, Lynne, is to rid itself of the entrenched voracious type of leftist thinking that perpetuates terrorism against Americans. You are the problem Lynne, not the solution.
"I don’t believe in anarchistic violence, but in directed violence. That would be violence directed at the institutions which perpetuate capitalism, racism, and sexism, and the people who are the appointed guardians of those institutions, and accompanied by popular support." Lynne Stewart
Ya know Lynne, the more I get to know you, the more I think that I could support a bit of violence directed towards you in the form of capital punishment. In fact, I think the case could be made that incarceration is not the proper punishment for the terrorist that you are and that perhaps something a little more final might be appropriate. And, I think at least 61 million rational, thinking Americans would provide the requisite popular support for such a notion.
NO LENIENCY - LOCK HER UP AND LOCK HER DOWN!
ON OCTOBER 16, 2006, LYNNE STEWART WILL BE SENTENCED. JUDGE KOELTL VOWS "NO FURTHER ADJOURNMENTS" FOR THIS EVENT.
YOU CAN HELP BE SURE THAT LYNNE RECEIVES THE MAXIMUM SENTENCE ALLOWED FOR HER CRIMES AGAINST AMERICA.
The sentencing is now set for October 16, 2006 and we can help lock Lynne up for life by writing the Judge and asking him to show no leniency to Lynne Stewart for her crimes and asking him to impose the maximum sentence allowed for plotting with terrorists.
THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD.
The Judge's address is:
Honorable John G. Koeltl
United States District Judge
Southern District of New York
United States Courthouse
500 Pearl Street
New York, New York 10007Briefly say who you are and discuss yourself - your position in work and in society. State that you are aware that Lynne is to be sentenced following a jury verdict of guilty on charges of crimes against America. Tell the Judge why you believe she should be made an example of, and not given any leniency whatsoever. Feel free to remind the Judge of who she is by using the quotes above.
Send a copy of your letter to the lawyers who prosecuted Lynn, so they can present them all to the Judge at sentencing time, they will have the maximum impact as he considers the matter:

Misunderstanding Moslems
England's police chief has ordered an 'urgent inquiry' after a Muslim police officer refused duty at the Israeli Embassy in London.
PC Alexander Omar Basha - a member of the Metropolitan Police's Diplomatic Protection Group - refused to be posted there because he objected to Israeli bombings in Lebanon and the resulting civilian casualties of fellow Muslims.
The officer, who carries a gun, is now thought to be guarding another embassy.
I sure hope he isn't posted at the American Embassy.
The Israeli Embassy has been attacked by moslems before, and threat of islamic terrorism is believed to have increased after the recent conflict with Lebanon. Considering that Basha has already demonstrated his own terrorist sympathies and inclinations by taking part in pro- hezbollah demonstrations, perhaps an 'urgent inquiry' into what Basha knows is appropriate.
Meanwhile, the moslem community issues the usual denials:
PC Nadeem Malik, an executive committee member of the Association of Muslim Police, said: "There are around 300 Muslim staff working in the Met and a number of Muslim police working in the diplomatic protection group who do not have problem covering the Israeli Embassy.
"These officers are Londoners, and Met police officers first and foremost."
No they're not Malik. They're moslems first and foremost, as Basha has shown us.
A senior source in the Metropolitan Police Federation said: 'We are expected to serve people without fear or favour. You treat them according to their needs whether you agree with their political or religious views or not.
Unless they're moslems who support terrorists. Then you have to treat them according to their needs, according to their political or religious views. You have to look the other way, turn the other cheek, bow and scrape and try to understand their feelings. And, you have to make excuses for their anti-social behavior, preferably excuses that lay the blame on you:
Richard Barnes, a Tory member of the Metropolitan Police Authority, accused senior officers of lacking tact.
He said: "I think it was crass management in the first place. They should have recognised there could have been a problem and not suggested this officer be posted at this embassy.
That's what a good dhimmi does.
"If they can allow this, surely they'll have to accept a Jewish officer not wanting to work at an Islamic national embassy? Will Catholic cops be let off working at Protestant churches?" - Ex-Met Flying Squad commander John O'Connor
Don't be silly John. Jews and Catholics are not moslems, and they don't strap bombs around themselves to kill innocent people in search of some perverted sexual heaven. They don't attack embassies. Its the moslems who do these things.
Here we have a moslem police officer who openly supports a terrorist group, and refuses duty at a known target for moslem terrorism. Instead of investigating him, the Met will investigate his supervisors to find out where PC went wrong.
Meanwhile... Viva la France!
"We are in a state of civil war, orchestrated by radical Islamists. This is not a question of urban violence any more, it is an intifada, with stones and Molotov cocktails. You no longer see two or three youths confronting police, you see whole tower blocks emptying into the streets to set their 'comrades' free when they are arrested."
Welcome to Eurabia.

Why We Win #8375869
It ain't easy, picking out evil-doers in the urban canyons of the Middle East; there are so many places to hide. Taking 'em out can be even harder, what with all those noncombatants hanging nearby. But the Air Force thinks it might have an answer to this most vexing problem in counter-insurgency: frisbees.
Not just any frisbees, mind you. Robotic frisbees. Heavily armed robotic frisbees.
The circular drones will be lanuched "from munitions dispensers or by means of a simple mechanism similar to a shotgun target (skeet) launcher," Triton adds. Once in the air, they'll be tele-operated by soldiers on the ground. Or, if needed, the fightin' frisbees will pilot themselves as they hunt for guerrillas.
Once they catch up to the baddies, the drones will use a series of armor-piercing explosives, shooting jets of molten metal, to eliminate their targets. And these MEFP [Multiple Explosively Formed Penetrator] "warheads will be controllable so as to provide a single large fragment (bunker-buster) or tailorable pattern of smaller fragments (unprotected infantry or light utility vehicles)." The decision of whether to go bunker-buster or infantry-annihilator mode can either be determined by the drones' human operators, "or autonomous target classification routine built into the UAV."

Is anyone listening?
Sheikh: All must convert to Islam
Sheikh Abu Saqer, leader of Gaza's Jihadia Salafiya Islamic outreach movement, which seeks to make secular Muslims more religious, called the pope a "puppet" for "that Crusader George Bush."
The Gaza imam said the only Christian-Muslim dialogue that is acceptable is one in which "all religions agree to convert to Islam."
"The day will soon come when the green flag of La Illah Illah Allah (There is no god but Allah) and Muhammad Rasul Allah (Muhammad is the prophet of Allah) will be raised upon the Vatican and all around the world and on the fortresses of those who want to destroy Islam, because they know that this religion obliges them to face the truth that Islam is Allah's favorite religion. And until they join Islam, hell is their last station."
"But I am sorry that this little racist did not think of the consequences upon the Christians in the Arab world when he insulted our prophet. It is an open war – the Muslims against all the others."
Abu Saqer said the pope and the Christian world are "panicking" because they realize "who is winning."

FBI investigates mosque shooting
No one was injured by the five shots that struck the building. The Melbourne Police Department searched the undeveloped woods to the south of the mosque, the area where they believe the shots originated from, but don’t have any suspects yet. They searched the area Friday night when the incident happened, and again Saturday morning. The police will be increasing patrols around the mosque for at least the next couple of days, police spokeswoman Jill Frederiksen said.
Police believe the shooter used a rifle, and there was a similar shooting possibly involving an air rifle on Sept. 18. Officials said the sniper left behind a pair of binoculars in a thicket of palmettos across the street from the mosque. There have been no arrests for either incident.
I'm no fan of murder, and I hate to think that islam will be successful in dragging us down into the dirt with it, back to the stone ages where we kill each other with sticks and stones. Still, as a people, I guess we can only take so much hatred directed at us, we can only take so many beheadings, so many car bombs, we can listen to so many calls for "death to America." We can take only so many senseless and stupid deaths perpetuated by followers of a death cult, in the name of a murderous pedophile, by freaks seeking entrance into some perverse sexual paradise before blaming those amongst us who stand in silent support of the guilty.

Farewell Oriana
“I leave shreds of my soul on every experience.” - Oriana Fallaci
Oriana Fallaci has passed away.
"I do not believe in vile acquittals, phony appeasements, easy forgiveness. Even less, in the exploitation or the blackmail of the word Peace. When peace stands for surrender, fear, loss of dignity and freedom, it is no longer peace. It is suicide." - Oriana Fallaci
Oriana is one of the most renowned journalists of the modern era and in final years, was indicted by a judge in her native Italy under provisions of the Italian Penal Code which proscribe the “vilipendio” or “vilification” of “any religion admitted by the state.”
As one of the most honest and active critics of radical Islam, Oriana died while in exile from her country, where she faced imprisonment for "the defamation of Islam."
Alas, she lost her battle with cancer, yet, even in her last days, she soldiered on.
"The secret of happiness is freedom, the secret of freedom is courage."
"Don’t believe in a dialog with Islam. That’s a naivete. It can only be a monologue. They do not believe in pluralism. There is no such thing as a “moderate Islam” and a Radical Islam. There is only one Islam."
"The real enemy is Islam and the most catastrophic threat is immigration not terror."
Our prayers are with you, Oriana. Godspeed, and thank you for being you.

Pick up your pen!
The fifth anniversary of September 11 has come and gone. Many of us relived the horror of that day 5 years ago when 2,996 people were slaughtered in the name of the death cult known as islam. We vowed never to forget.
We should include the first attack on the World Trade Center in that same vow, we should never forget. We should never forgive, and we should seek out those who plot against us and punish them severely.
A rare and unique opportunity is here now, for America to help punish the enemy amongst us who aided and abetted the islamic terrorists responsible for the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center.
Please, pick up your pen now, while the horror of five years ago is fresh in your mind. Pick up your pen and help lock up those amongst us who would aid terrorists in their quest to destroy us.
Please, pick up your pen and help send a message that America will not tolerate traitors amongst us! If you think you can't make a difference, you can! If you think you can't help punish those who would plot with our enemies against us, you can. But you have to do it now.
This may be your last chance to make a difference in this case. Please, pick up your pen!
BACKGROUND:
Throughout her legal career, Lynne Stewart has represented terrorists, both domestic and international. From the notorious Weatherman of the 1960s to the islamic terrorists who bombed the World Trade Center in the 1990s, Lynne Stewart has made a career out of representing and supporting those who are sworn to destroy our Country.
On February 10, 2005, Lynne Stewart was convicted of helping terrorists by smuggling messages of violence from one of her imprisoned clients -- a radical Egyptian sheik -- to his terrorist disciples on the outside.
Lynne Stewart was convicted of providing material support, through a press conference and allowing access by her translator, to a terrorist conspiracy to kill persons outside of the United States and conspiring to defraud the U.S. government when acting as counsel to Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, the blind Egyptian cleric who was convicted in 1996 of plotting terrorist attacks against various sites in the New York City area. Finally caught in the snares of justice, Lynne Stewart is now facing sentencing for her crimes, and your help is needed to be sure she receives the maximum sentence allowable by law.
Lynne was recorded bragging about her skills as an actress which she used to fool the prison guards into believing she was a lawyer instead of a terrorist, saying, "I can get an award for it" which was translated to the Sheikh: "She is saying, Your Eminence, that she can get an award for acting (all three laugh).
"The September 11 terrorist attacks on America were an "armed struggle" like Hiroshima and Dresden. I have a lot of trouble figuring out why that is wrong, especially when people are placed in a position of having no other way." Lynne Stewart
Yes Lynne. The September 11 terrorist attacks on America were what any rational thinking person would consider to be an act of war against of America, and you helped it happen.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. This woman is truly an enemy of America. In her own words:
"I don't have any problem with Mao or Stalin or the Vietnamese leaders or certainly Fidel locking up people they see as dangerous. Because so often, dissidence has been used by the greater powers to undermine a people's revolution." Lynne Stewart
Lynne, I don't have any problem with the United States of America locking you up and locking you down too, with no outside communication with anyone for any reason, for the rest of your miserable life. In fact, I'm gonna help them do it. You are a terrorist Lynne, and you are dangerous. You should be incarcerated for life, and, I think you should pay for your incarceration out of your own personal private funds, saving the taxpayers the cost of your three hots and a cot.
and during her trial:
"To rid ourselves of the entrenched, voracious type of capitalism that is in this country that perpetuates sexism and racism, I don't think that can come nonviolently." Lynne Stewart
What America really needs, Lynne, is to rid itself of the entrenched voracious type of leftist thinking that perpetuates terrorism against Americans. You are the problem Lynne, not the solution.
"I don’t believe in anarchistic violence, but in directed violence. That would be violence directed at the institutions which perpetuate capitalism, racism, and sexism, and the people who are the appointed guardians of those institutions, and accompanied by popular support." Lynne Stewart
Ya know Lynne, the more I get to know you, the more I think that I could support a bit of violence directed towards you in the form of capital punishment. In fact, I think the case could be made that incarceration is not the proper punishment for the terrorist that you are and that perhaps something a little more final might be appropriate. And, I think at least 61 million rational, thinking Americans would provide the requisite popular support for such a notion.
NO LENIENCY - LOCK HER UP AND LOCK HER DOWN!
ON OCTOBER 16, 2006, LYNNE STEWART WILL BE SENTENCED. JUDGE KOELTL VOWS "NO FURTHER ADJOURNMENTS" FOR THIS EVENT.
YOU CAN HELP BE SURE THAT LYNNE RECEIVES THE MAXIMUM SENTENCE ALLOWED FOR HER CRIMES AGAINST AMERICA.
The sentencing is now set for October 16, 2006 and we can help lock Lynne up for life by writing the Judge and asking him to show no leniency to Lynne Stewart for her crimes and asking him to impose the maximum sentence allowed for plotting with terrorists.
THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD.
The Judge's address is:
Honorable John G. Koeltl
United States District Judge
Southern District of New York
United States Courthouse
500 Pearl Street
New York, New York 10007Briefly say who you are and discuss yourself - your position in work and in society. State that you are aware that Lynne is to be sentenced following a jury verdict of guilty on charges of crimes against America. Tell the Judge why you believe she should be made an example of, and not given any leniency whatsoever. Feel free to remind the Judge of who she is by using the quotes above.
Send a copy of your letter to the lawyers who prosecuted Lynn, so they can present them all to the Judge at sentencing time, they will have the maximum impact as he considers the matter:
Joseph E. Bianco, Esq.
Christopher T. Morvillo, Esq.
Assistant United States Attorneys
Southern District of New York
United States Attorney's Office
One St. Andrews Plaza
New York, NY 10007
This is your chance to raise your voice and be heard!
I say let Justice be served:
Just a suggestion...

In honor of a Hero
As part of the 2996 Project - today we remember, and honor the victims of the September 11 attacks.
never enough of it
time marches on
trickles away
each day
dies
and
each day
a new dawn
time marches on
never enough of it
John Chipura knew how precious life was. He learned that lesson at age 21, on October 23, 1983 as a Marine in Beirut.
John was a 21 year old radio operator on his second tour as a member of the 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment 24th Marine Amphibious Unit. He was stationed in Beirut when terrorists with a truck bomb took out the battalion headquarters barracks and killed 241 of his fellow leathernecks and service men.
John dodged death and came home from that tragedy. He didn't speak much about it, he didn't dwell on the fact that he survived because he was leaving the barracks early to assume his post as a radio operator when the bomb exploded. He didn't dwell on the fact that the man walking just behind him was killed.
John's brother, Gerard Chipura, a fireman with Ladder Company 148, said his brother never forgot his experiences as a Marine. "We didn’t know it, but John kept in touch with all the families from the bombing," his brother Gerard said, "I don't think John ever thought he would live to see anything worse than what he saw that day in Beirut."
He was marked by the experience. "When he came back, he was more of a hugging person. He knew how precious life was because it could all be over in a second." - Nancy Chipura, John's sister
His brother Gerard said John was missing for three whole days in Beirut before he was able to get through to the family and let them know he was fine. He said the 9/11 deja-vu experience was painfully "surreal." "My sister said, 'I'm going to give him three days.' But he hasn't shown up yet. Not this time," said his brother.
John lived his life to the end as a hero.
Gerard and his family find solace in the words that John wrote in November 2000, on the occasion of the Corps 225 birthday: "We Marines are truly blessed. We get to enjoy the sweet taste of this Freedom because we know its price."
“He was a true Marine" . - FDNY Lt. John Atwell
After his honorable discharge from the Marines in 1987, John desired to continue serving the community and joined the city Police Department in 1987. He was assigned to the 72nd Precinct in his old neighborhood, Sunset Park, for seven years. John devoted three years service in Brooklyn South Narcotics and then returned to the 72nd Precinct as a detective.
“As a police officer he was always looking to clean up the neighborhood and help other families. He was very caring, and nothing got in his way or bothered him.” - Gina DeFalco, John's Fiancee.
After 12 years of service to the NYPD, John yearned for the camaraderie of the firehouse; his brother, Gerard, was a fireman, as their father, Anthony, had been. In August, 1998, John achieved his dream.
Following the footsteps of his father, Anthony Chipura, John joined the city Fire Department. "He knew you work as a team, as a unit in the Fire Department -- he liked that,' said his brother. "He always thought people call the Police Department when there's a problem, to get somebody bad, but you call the Fire Department when people needed help."
Graduating from firefighter training in 1998, John Chipura was assigned to Engine Co. 219, Brooklyn, for one year. He then rotated through Ladder Co. 81, South Beach, and Engine Co. 80 in Manhattan. John had recently returned to Engine Co. 219 to once again serve Downtown Brooklyn.
On Sept. 11, he arrived at Engine 219 to work the day tour and was detailed to Ladder Co. 105, which is housed in the same location. After reports of the first attack, he called his sister, Nancy Chipura, who worked on the 69th Floor of Tower 1. He was unable to make contact. Just before responding to the World Trade Center, John called his fiancee, Gina DeFalco, who also worked Downtown, for more information about Nancy. He received no word about his sister when he arrived at the scene at 8:45 a.m. with Ladder 105. “There wasn’t any news,” said Ms. DeFalco, “but later, when I heard that Nancy was safe, I called John to tell him. But his ladder company had already left.” John and the five other firefighters in the truck have not been heard from since.
Witnesses told the family he was last seen assisting in the evacuation of many people from Tower 2. "He was inside when it collapsed," said his brother. "I know he was looking for my sister."
Mr. Chipura and Ms. DeFalco, who met through a friend in the Fire Department, had planned to marry just six weeks after Sept. 11. "Getting married was the sole focus of his being for the last few months," said his brother. "He was 39-years-old and finally found the right girl. He held her so close to his heart."
Gerard Chipura said his brother was always trying to help people and make them "feel good." "He wanted to make everybody happy. He didn't want anybody to be upset," said his brother. "When John was not serving the community, he was serving his family and friends. He was a great conversationalist, problem solver, hard worker and friend," said his brother. "John embraced hobbies such as country dancing and motorcycling because he liked the sense of community he found."
John Chipura was a mentor for many at Boy Scout Troop 21. He was a member of the troop since 1974 and went on to serve as assist scout master until he was lost in the attack. He was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion, the Iwo Jima Association and the Beirut Veterans Memorial Association. John was also a member of St. Joseph and St. Thomas Parish, Pleasant Plains.
His mother, Jane Chipura, died in 1994 and his father, Anthony, died in 1996. In addition to his brother, Gerard, and his sister, Nancy Chipura, surviving are his twin sister, Susan Cohen; another sister, Eileen Cella; and several nieces and nephews. John also left behind the love of his life, Gina DeFalco.
Dear John,
In the blink of an eye
Our lives went awry
Not a day has gone by
That we all do not cry
For what we had
For what was planned
For what took place
For what was yet to be
For births, promotions, holidays, birthdays,
graduations, bar mitzvahs
Celebrated without you, but always thinking of you
Another blink of an eye
And a year has gone by
How can it be?
It went so fast and yet so much has passed
So many tears, can it only be a year?
Lives went on, go on, different, not the same
We try, we share, we wonder why
We try to make sense of that blink of an eye
We try to make each blink count
We try to do what you would want us to
We try to make that blink of an eye
Mean something.
Help us, show us, tell us
Be there as you always were
In our hearts, in our thoughts
In every blink of our eyes.
With all our love always,
Your family, friends, fiancé and Mom-to-be
Except for the short poem at the beginning of this post, none of these words are mine. They are culled from various articles on the internet. I have never met John Chipura, but I wish I had the opportunity to do so. In life, John touched so many lives, not only his family and friends, but also, every person he came into contact with. Serving as a Marine, John protected our freedom, and as police officer and a fireman, John helped make so many people safe.
I feel a special kind of love for John Chipura, and I thank G-d for men like him.
His resting place shall be in the Garden of Eden.
Therefore, the Master of mercy will care for him
under the protection of His wings for all time
And bind his soul in the bond of everlasting life.
God is his inheritance and he will rest in peace
and let us say Amen.

The Path to 9/11

Jihad comes to San Fran
As many as 14 people were injured this afternoon by a motorist who drove around San Francisco running them down before he was arrested, authorities said.
In San Francisco, the attacks began around 1 p.m., but it was unclear in what order:
• Two people, one of them a child, were critically injured around by a sport-utility vehicle on the 3500 block of California Street in Laurel Heights.
• Three people were hit at California and Fillmore streets. Witnesses said they included a man with a broken hip and a woman with a gashed head.
• Two people were seriously hurt at Bush and Pierce streets and one person was seriously injured at Bush and Buchanan streets, police said. One person suffered minor injuries in an incident at 1850 Fillmore Street.
• Two other people suffered minor injuries when they were hit at Pine at Divisadero streets, and another two were hit and suffered minor injuries at Divisadero and Bush Street.
Authorities believe the same suspect struck and killed a pedestrian in Fremont earlier today. That victim was walking north on Fremont Boulevard in the bicycle lane when he was struck from behind and knocked several feet into a field, Fremont Officer Alan Zambonin said.
He was pronounced dead at the scene. The black SUV, a Honda described as a Pilot or a CRV, made no attempt to stop or help the victim, police said.
Who would do such a thing?
Authorities have identified the man who was arrested as Ohmeed Aziz Popal.
Ohmeed huh? hmmm.... lemme take a wild guess...
UPDATE: Darleen tells us that on the Hugh Hewitt show, callers from the area are saying the area the driver targeted is heavily Jewish and that one victim was run over right in front of the Jewish Community Center.
The MSM is not reporting that part.
Its true, its just not safe to be Jewish in the United States anymore and no one wants to admit it.

A voice cries out in the wilderness
I found the following at amilimani.com:
The terror and death inflicted on humanity is not the work of radical Islam, neither the political Islam, nor the militant Islam. It is Islam, period. Get it? And the perpetrators are not fringe elements confined to brainwashed Saudis, loony Taliban, or a know nothing Pakistanis who have hijacked Islam and are now in the business of mass murder. The latest project of the practitioners of the “religion of peace” aimed to blowing planeloads of innocent civilians to smithereens in midair over the Atlantic -- ought to finally drive the point home: it is Islam, dummy. Get it?
How could people calling themselves sincere God-fearing religionists bring themselves to even think of acts of such barbarity, yet plan them methodically and cold-bloodedly proceed to execute them?
The answer is Islam. The life manual of Islam, the Quran, is a document of exclusion, hatred and violence that shapes the Muslims’ thinking and behaving. This stone-age document is optimally suited for people of stunted development. People who prefer to follow than to think for themselves, to hate than to love, and to seek death rather than to celebrate life.
Read the rest here, and while you're at it, read Challenge to All Muslims
Islam can justifiably be condemned as a barbaric ideology that has energized and continues to energize crimes against humanity. Islam belongs to a raft of doctrines such as Nazism, Fascism and Totalitarianisms of various stripes that promotes hate and violence against others. Despicable doctrines of hate and violence remain confined to their place under the "shameful" classification in libraries until people adopt them as their program of life. Hence, it is people who are guilty of bringing to life the dogmas of savagery.
In the same way that ignorance of the law does not constitute a valid defense, not bothering to find out about the true nature of Islamic precepts and practices and blindly doing Islam’s biddings constitutes inexcusable wrongdoing. Muslims, therefore, are indictable for subscribing to the Quran and committing themselves to carrying out its ruthless instructions at great harm to the non-subscribers.
A vast cadre of Islamic apologists, generally from the ranks of the well-pampered parasitic clergy, labor greatly at defending Islam and keeping the masses in servitude. In practice, these sheepdogs of Islam earn their very livelihood by devouring the sheep they herd.
Wake up America, and know they enemy.

2996 ~ Never Forget
On September 11 this year, a group of bloggers will be posting Memorial Tributes to the 2,996 people who lost their lives on that day. There are still names that need tributes. If you are a blogger, click the pic and sign up now.
2,996 is a tribute to the victims of 9/11.
On September 11, 2006, 2,996 volunteer bloggers will join together for a tribute to the victims of 9/11. Each person will pay tribute to a single victim.
We will honor them by remembering their lives, and not by remembering their murderers.
If you would like to help out, either by pledging to post a tribute on your own blog, or by offering your services to promote this cause, just leave a comment here and I’ll email you the name of a victim.
Then, on 9/11/2006, you will post a tribute to that victim on your blog.
But, and this is critical, the tributes should celebrate the lives of these people–kind of like a wake. Over the last 5 years we’ve heard the names of the killers, and all about the victim’s deaths. This is a chance to learn about and celebrate those who died. Forget the murderers, they don’t deserve to be remembered. But some people who died that day deserve to be remembered–2,996 people.
Thank you,
D.Challener Roe
I want to thank Mr. Roe, for taking on such a massive and meaningful project, and for allowing me to participate.

Q&A With Sir Banagor
A reader emails me the following:
… But I fear there is almost no hope for America and that Europe will soon be lost. Tell me do you feel there is anything that can awaken the West at this late hour?
To tell the truth, the answer is no.
The last month has provided the answers for all to see: we are going to lose this war. I say “we” as in “the West”. We don’t have what it takes. I wrote that Bin Laden is right: we are a paper tiger. Nothing so far has shown otherwise. Nothing that the West has done has changed that perception. We go to “war”, but it is really a police action which is doomed to failure. War is not what we have seen in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Gaza, or anything else. War - real war - on a global scale is not being fought by the West. Five years after 9/11, we have nothing to show for our convictions because we have no convictions.
So we are doomed to fail. The last month has convinced me of this.
That's by Sir Banagor, now go ahead and read the rest. Then read this. and then, tell me what you think.
I'll tell you what I think, and I've said this before, many times and many ways:
Nothing less than the death or enslavement of every single American will ever satisfy Islamists. That is their stated goal but no one seems to be listening. This is not new and it has nothing to do with anything that happened today, or yesterday, or last week, or last month, or last year. It has nothing to do with Israel. It is what it is.
The name of the enemy is Islam and the name of the war is Jihad.
I fear Sir Banagor is right and that we will lose. The fact is that we are losing right here, in the streets of America.
The democrats want to surrender. Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, John Murtha, they all want to give up, and let Jihad have its way. Jihad in America is led by CAIR, who is aided and abetted by the judges who sit on the bench, the ACLU, ANSWER, UFPJ and every moonbat that ever held up a "peace at any price" sign on a street corner. They are killing our people all over the world, and they using our justice system at home to beat us.
Jihadists blow up our soldiers, kill women and children and these lunatics support them. Jihadists chant Death to America and these lunatics sing kumbaya. Code Pink sends them money. This past month we saw millions of Americans hit the streets in support of one of the most notorious and bloodthirsty terrorist organizations we have ever known, an organization responsible for the deaths of 241 peacekeepers in Beruit, our embassies, plane hijackings. Hezbollah is responsible for murder and mayhem around the world and this month, America gave it support. We are building a memorail in Pennsylvnia that honors the dead of 9/11, but the design does not honor Americans who died trying to foil their evil plot to kill innocent people. Oh no, its shaped as a red crescent, it points towards mecca and it honors the islamic jihadists who killed our people.
The mainstream media publishes fraudulent news stories complete with staged photographs to generate sympathy and compassion for the enemy. The New York Times gives them our secrets and tells them how to get around our investigations as we try to stop them from killing us. Americans travel to the front lines of the war, to protect the terrorists with their very lives and when they are killed, they blame America or Israel.
These lunatic liberals have chosen to give their support to islamic jihad. In doing so, they have chosen to embrace a monster the likes of which they are unable to comprehend.
They have no idea what the consequences of their actions will be in the future, because September 11, 2001 was nothing but a small part of the islamic agenda to cleanse all lands of all kufirs, infidels and jews, and to rule those lands according to islamic law. What happens is Israel is also but a small part in the agenda. The islamic agenda is to wipe out every culture, every religion, and for islam to rule the world.
If the islamic agenda is successful, the future might not be to their liking. Today, they are free to support terrorism, spread lies and sow dissention only because there are those today who fight the good fight to defend them. Because of the efforts of the brave men and women who serve in the United States Military, perhaps the islamic agenda will not be successful in this lifetime. They may sleep well and warm in their beds tonight, and enjoy a lifetime of indolence and indifference.
They do not consider the legacy they will leave behind for their children and their children's children.
If the islamic agenda is successful, it will be because of the actions of the media and the war protestors. In the end, they will sentence America to suffer under the very same monster they embrace today.
If their actions today bear fruit tomorrow, it is future Americans who will suffer under islamic law. As they suffer, surely they will curse the names and the memory of those who turned their face from the truth and embraced the lie.
Indeed, if their actions bear fruit tomorrow, future Americans will surely curse the memory of all those who choose to bow their head and look the other way, those who today support terrorism and nurture the beast.
As long as there is breath in my body, I will continue to fight the enemy in any and every way I can. But is it too late to win?
I fear Sir Banagor is right, and I pray he is wrong.

Northwest Flight 327 Revisited
Most of us read about it back in 2004, Annie Jacobson's fearful flight from Detroit to Los Angeles with a pack of middle eastern men who behaved suspiciously and terrorized not only the passengers, but also the flight attendants and the pilot:
The man in the yellow T-shirt got out of his seat and went to the lavatory at the front of coach -- taking his full McDonald's bag with him. When he came out of the lavatory he still had the McDonald's bag, but it was now almost empty. He walked down the aisle to the back of the plane, still holding the bag. When he passed two of the men sitting mid-cabin, he gave a thumbs-up sign. When he returned to his seat, he no longer had the McDonald's bag.
Then another man from the group stood up and took something from his carry-on in the overhead bin. It was about a foot long and was rolled in cloth. He headed toward the back of the cabin with the object. Five minutes later, several more of the Middle Eastern men began using the forward lavatory consecutively. In the back, several of the men stood up and used the back lavatory consecutively as well.
For the next hour, the men congregated in groups of two and three at the back of the plane for varying periods of time. Meanwhile, in the first class cabin, just a foot or so from the cockpit door, the man with the dark suit - still wearing sunglasses - was also standing. Not one of the flight crew members suggested that any of these men take their seats.
When Annie's husband talked to the flight attendant... "the flight attendant pulled him into the galley. In a quiet voice she explained that they were all concerned about what was going on. The captain was aware. The flight attendants were passing notes to each other. She said that there were people on board 'higher up than you and me watching the men.'"
About 20 minutes later the same flight attendant returned. Leaning over and whispering, she asked my husband to write a description of the yellow-shirted man sitting across from us. She explained it would look too suspicious if she wrote the information. She asked my husband to slip the note to her when he was done.
After seeing 14 Middle Eastern men board separately (six together, eight individually) and then act as a group, watching their unusual glances, observing their bizarre bathroom activities, watching them congregate in small groups, knowing that the flight attendants and the pilots were seriously concerned, and now knowing that federal air marshals were on board, I was officially terrified.
I would have felt the same way, in fact, I was terrified just reading it, even knowing that the plane landed safely. But, before the plane landed...
Suddenly, seven of the men stood up -- in unison -- and walked to the front and back lavatories. One by one, they went into the two lavatories, each spending about four minutes inside. Right in front of us, two men stood up against the emergency exit door, waiting for the lavatory to become available. The men spoke in Arabic among themselves and to the man in the yellow shirt sitting nearby. One of the men took his camera into the lavatory. Another took his cell phone. Again, no one approached the men. Not one of the flight attendants asked them to sit down. I watched as the man in the yellow shirt, still in his seat, reached inside his shirt and pulled out a small red book. He read a few pages, then put the book back inside his shirt. He pulled the book out again, read a page or two more, and put it back. He continued to do this several more times.
In the end, nothing happened:
The last man came out of the bathroom, and as he passed the man in the yellow shirt he ran his forefinger across his neck and mouthed the word "No."
The plane landed.
Federal Marshals swarmed the plane, passengers and crew were questioned. The rest of the world scoffed. Northwest denied there was an incident. The victims became the accused, Annie Jacobson was considered a hysterical, paranoid racist. But not anymore. Homeland Security paid Annie a visit...
"... while one arm of the government (the Federal Air Marshal Service) has vehemently maintained all along that "nothing happened on flight 327," the other, more muscular arm (the Department of Homeland Security) has been conducting a rather large investigation about it."
It turns out the traveling "musicians" on their way to a gig had nothing with them to make music with. Two months prior, there was a credible warning issued about terrorists traveling under "P class visas (sports and culture), and that's just what these men had, except, their visas were expired. Despite the fact that they were from Syria, which is a terrorist nation, no one looked close enough to discover that their visas were expired, and only two of the fourteen were questioned pre-flight, that breaks all of the rules. Despite the presence of Federal Marshals all over the airport when the plane landed, the men were allowed to leave without being searched or questioned. These men had been flying back and forth across the country several times using one-way tickets, for which they paid cash.
The agents who sat with me all morning going over the events of flight 327 seemed sincerely committed to getting to the bottom of what happened on that flight. It seemed obvious that they believe something happened. Was it a probe? A dry run? A training exercise or an intelligence gathering mission? My sense is that the jury's still out on a hard and fast answer. But flight 327 was far from a situation involving 13 hapless Syrian musicians and a case of bad behavior.
Read the whole thing now, and the next time you feel like complaining about airport security and carrying your lipstick, read it again.
And to all of you who scoffed for whatever reason... hmph.

Meet Tariq
Tariq, who uses a fake email address designed to appear as if he lives out of the Country, but his IP pings from The Bronx. Whatcha hiding there Tariq?
And what are you doing in my country, asshole? Why don't you go back to whatever third world shithole you come from, and take your death cult with you. Do you think your opinion matters here? No one gives a shit what you think. Do us a favor and go back to your cave where you belong, and screw your camels and goats. We don't want you here.
You lie Tariq. Oh, you poor muslims, getting your ass kicked by superior technology, superior intelligence and yes, superior weaponry. Boo frickin' hoo. Welcome to the 21st Century, you stupid bastard! Oh, I know you'd like to drag the world back to the seventh century where you can fight with swords and then play with the body parts, but quite frankly, we don't we don't want get that close to you. At least, not until you learn what soap is.
You grovel in the dirt with your ass in the air, following the lead of a murdering bastard (whose only claim to fame is the attempted destruction of civilization, the murder of innocents and the raping of children), praying to a moon god, seeking glorious martyrdom by murdering innocent people and hoping for sexual perversion with virgins and young boys in heaven.
You claim that your people strap on explosives to kill a few soldiers. The world knows that you send your children into the streets, into restaurants and shopping malls to kill other children. The world knows that you send your people to shoot down women and children in the street, pregnant women! The world knows that you send your people into homes and slaughter entire families in the name of your pig god. We are sick and tired of your video beheadings, your stonings, your honor killings and your pissing and moaning about everything and anything. You and your people have done nothing to contribute to the rest of the world, in fact, your only contribution in the last millenium has been the suicide belt. Thanks for nothing!
We see you and your people chanting "Death to America" and we hear your stated vow to take over our country, to turn it into a third world cesspool. We hear your words and know your lies. We know who you are and what you are, you are an animal, a disease, you are a cancer that must be removed if civilization is to continue. You "live" your life seeking death and we are happy to give it to you.
In every war that your people have waged against the Land of Israel, you have had your ass handed to you on a platter, Israel kicked your butt over and over again, and it will do so in this war. Every war against Israel that you choose to start, Israel will win.
Its a war against good and evil, Tariq, and you are on the losing side.

In America
This past Friday, the Muslim American Society held their "Justice for Palestine and Lebanon Protest" at Boston's City Hall Plaza. Seva Brodsky was there, camera in hand.
He was bullied, pushed, shoved, cursed at, threatened and abused by these peaceful muslims and their American supporters.
More people joined the melee, shouting and threatening me. Unfortunately, by this point my camera was off, so I did not capture what had transpired then. One man told me that the police would not help me, as they were going to hunt me down and kill me (he can be heard on the video repeatedly commanding me not to take pictures)
Solomonia has his report. Read it and weep.

Question of the day
Does art imitate life?
or does life imitate art?
EXILED preacher of hate Omar Bakri has begged the Royal Navy to rescue him from war-torn Beirut.
The Muslim cleric who fled Britain last year, tried to board a ship full of women and children yesterday but was turned away.
What a coward.

2996 ~ Never Forget!
2,996 is a tribute to the victims of 9/11.
On September 11, 2006, 2,996 volunteer bloggers will join together for a tribute to the victims of 9/11. Each person will pay tribute to a single victim.
We will honor them by remembering their lives, and not by remembering their murderers.
If you would like to help out, either by pledging to post a tribute on your own blog, or by offering your services to promote this cause, just leave a comment here and I’ll email you the name of a victim.
Then, on 9/11/2006, you will post a tribute to that victim on your blog.
But, and this is critical, the tributes should celebrate the lives of these people–kind of like a wake. Over the last 5 years we’ve heard the names of the killers, and all about the victim’s deaths. This is a chance to learn about and celebrate those who died. Forget the murderers, they don’t deserve to be remembered. But some people who died that day deserve to be remembered–2,996 people.
Thank you,
D.Challener Roe
I want to thank Mr. Roe, for taking on such a massive and meaningful project, and for allowing me to participate.

Worse than Al-Qaida?
What could possibly be worse than being captured by Al-Qaida operatives? What could be worse than your facial features cut off and/or mutilated, your heart cut out, your testicles cut off, your penis cut off and stuffed in your mouth, your arms contorted and your eyes gouged out, your head sawed off with a kitchen knife, your corpse dumped in the street, stuffed with explosives as a trap to kill your friends and countrymen who come to find you?
Why, being captured by the United States of America and having a pair of women's panties put on your head! Or being threatened by a barking dog! Or being stacked with other naked terrorists into a pyramid. Or being put on a leash.
Sure its worse! Just ask Al-Qaida operative Mike Luckovitch:
We expect this kind of crap from terrorists like Ameen Al-Sheikh, a Syrian who said he went to Iraq to oppose the U.S. occupation. Al-Sheikh, who was captured with AK-47 assault rifles, grenades and bomb-making material. Al-Skeikh, who is well known in Abu Ghraib for having once obtained a gun from an Iraqi guard and exchanged fire with American soldiers. Al-Sheikh, who should have been shot while trying to escape.
Al-Sheikh was a former inmate at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison who claimed he was forced by U.S. guards to masturbate in public and piled onto a pyramid of naked men said even Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein did not do such things.
Al-Sheikh said he was forced to eat pork and drink alcohol. He says a US Soldier pissed on him.
Aw jeepers. Imagine that! Al-Sheikh travels from Syria to kill Americans and ends up being pissed on by one. That's just too f'ing bad! You should have stayed in Syria you dumb shit.
"I was extremely emotional because (even) Saddam didn't do this to us." - Al Sheikh
No, you stupid bastard, Saddam would have chopped off your hands and feet, he would have had your wife and children raped to death before your eyes, he would have dipped you feet first into a vat of acid, dragged you through the streets behind a car, shot you, stabbed you, whipped you with chains, tied you to a tree and beaten you with a stick, electocuted you, or, a combination of the above and then dumped your remains into a mass grave.
Saddam would have done the same to Mike Luckovitch, as would Al-Qaida. Congratulations Mike, today, you have promoted the enemy agenda and I'm sure Al-Qaida is grateful for your efforts on their behalf.
Annika sums up nicely:

A call for freedom
The grandson of Ayatollah Khomeini, the inspiration of Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution, has broken a three-year silence to back the United States military to overthrow the country's clerical regime.
"My grandfather's revolution has devoured its children and has strayed from its course," he told Al-Arabiya, an Arabic-language television station. "I lived through the revolution and it called for freedom and democracy - but it has persecuted its leaders."
As for his "call to President Bush to come and occupy Iran," Hossein Khomeini explained that 'freedom must come to Iran in any possible way, whether through internal or external developments."
If you were a prisoner, what would you do? I want someone to break the prison [doors open]'."

No Man Left Behind
The islamist terrorist group Mujahedeen Shura Council claims it has kidnapped two of our soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) out of Fort Campbell, Kentucky. The Defense Department identified the missing men as Pfc. Kristian Menchaca, 23, of Houston, and Pfc. Thomas L. Tucker, 25, of Madras, Ore.
The terrorists have posted this message to world:
"The strongest army in the world is turned around, ashamed of their failure..."
It just clarifies the points I made earlier today in "A Case for Cut and Run?"
There can be only one response:
You have two hours within which to release our Troops unharmed, and that includes Pfc. Keith Matthew Maupin. Release them or we nuke Mecca.
No negotiations.

A Case for Cut and Run?
Former Marine John Murtha continues to make his case for cut and run, I found this at the Media Blog on NRO. In making his case for cut and run, Murtha makes a comparison to the mistakes of America, mistakes made by both Republicans and Democrats.
"The thing that disturbed me and worries me about this whole thing is we can’t get them to change direction. And I said over and over in debate, if you listen to any of it, in Beirut President Reagan changed direction, in Somalia President Clinton changed direction, and yet here, with the troops out there every day, suffering from these explosive devices, and being looked at as occupiers — 80 percent of the people want us out of there — and yet they continue to say, “We’re fighting this thing.” We’re not fighting this. The troops are fighting this thing. That’s who’s doing the fighting." John Murtha
What does our enemy say? NRO points us to this quote by Osama bin Laden:
"After leaving Afghanistan, the Muslim fighters headed for Somalia and prepared for a long battle, thinking that the Americans were like the Russians," bin Laden said. "The youth were surprised at the low morale of the American soldiers and realized more than before that the American soldier was a paper tiger and after a few blows ran in defeat. And America forgot all the hoopla and media propaganda ... about being the world leader and the leader of the New World Order, and after a few blows they forgot about this title and left, dragging their corpses and their shameful defeat."
But they forgot about this quote:
"But your most disgraceful case was in Somalia; where- after vigorous propaganda about the power of the USA and its post cold war leadership of the new world order- you moved tens of thousands of international force, including twenty eight thousands American solders into Somalia. However, when tens of your solders were killed in minor battles and one American Pilot was dragged in the streets of Mogadishu you left the area carrying disappointment, humiliation, defeat and your dead with you. Clinton appeared in front of the whole world threatening and promising revenge , but these threats were merely a preparation for withdrawal. You have been disgraced by Allah and you withdrew; the extent of your impotence and weaknesses became very clear. It was a pleasure for the “heart” of every Muslim and a remedy to the “chests” of believing nations to see you defeated in the three Islamic cities of Beirut , Aden and Mogadishu." Osama Bin Laden, August 1996
The incidents of islamic terrorism perpetuated against America are numerous and varied. From the US Cole, to the Peacekeepers operation in Beruit, Mogadishu to Desert Storm, America has time and time again failed to crush the enemy, allowing them to come back at us, time and time again. Each new incident of islamic terrorism has been worse then the one before, culminating finally with September 11, 2001.
This enemy does not respect mercy, it does not respect compassion, it does not respect cut and run. Murtha believes we should back out, and leave the Middle East to the no-so-tender mercies of islamic terrorism. Murtha believes we should turn our backs on the innocents who will become victims of islamic law.
Murtha believes what our enemies believe.
Murtha wants what our enemies want.
That makes Murtha the enemy.

The Bastards!
Turkish public TV has banned Piglet.
TURKEY’S public television TRT, controlled by the Islamist-rooted government, has barred the popular Walt Disney cartoon Winnie the Pooh from air because it has a piglet as one of its main heroes, the Turkish press reported today.
…
The station initially considered scissoring the scenes showing Piglet, but abandoned the idea because the small pink-skinned character, one of Winnie the Pooh’s closest friends, appeared too often, Cumhuriyet and the mass-circulation Sabah newspaper said.
I say we ban islam because it features a psychotic and evil killer, rapist and child molestor. Get it out of the newspapers, off the TV and out of our schools.

Germany Judges Islam
German Mistrust of Muslims and Islam Grows
Experts fear new conflicts after a study published this week showed most Germans doubt the Western and Islamic worlds can peacefully coexist. Mistrust of the 3 million Muslims living in Germany appears to be growing.
In spite of official attempts to promote dialog among religions, distrust of Islam continues to grow, with 60 percent of Germans expecting tension between traditional German society and immigrants from Muslim countries, according to an Allensbach study commissioned by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper.
"Germans are increasingly of the opinion that a lasting, peaceful coexistence with the Islamic world will not be possible," the researchers said in the survey, released Wednesday.
Germans less willing to show tolerance to Muslims
Germans' image of Muslims has been getting worse since Sept. 11, 2001
The case of a Berlin "honor killing," a quarrel over two Bonn students who wore burkas to school and discussions concerning increasing schoolyard violence among immigrant children have all made headlines in the German press recently.
"In view of the diffuse feeling of being under threat, and the suspected intolerance of Islam, the readiness of Germans to show tolerance to the Muslim faith is sinking," Noelle and Petersen wrote.
Germans' esteem for Islam has been falling since the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States, with 83 percent of the 1,076 Germans questioned in the survey agreeing with the statement that Islam is driven by fanaticism. That amount was 10 percent higher than two years ago. A majority, 71 percent, said they believed Islam to be "intolerant," up from 66 percent.
When asked what they associate with the word "Islam," 91 percent of respondents connected the religion to the discrimination of women, and 61 percent called Islam "undemocratic." Eight percent of Germans associated "peacefulness" with Islam.
Willing to limit freedom of religion
Most Germans don't believe a mosque should be built in a community that doesn't want itAbout 40 percent of Germans queried were willing to limit the constitutionally guaranteed freedom of religion if constricting the practice of the Muslim religion would lead to fewer violent Muslims choosing to live in Germany. Over half of those who took part, 56 percent, agreed with the statement, "If some Muslim countries forbid building churches, then it should be forbidden to build mosques here."
There was one result amid the responses that improved the mood of those working on intercultural dialog: two-thirds of Germans said they believed Islam does not pose a threat, but that radical, politically motivated individuals are behind extremist acts.
The survey's authors wrote that "there is a pattern of polarization" widening the gap between Germans' feelings of their own situation and "the others," which could be the "
