10 Years. It's been 10 Years.
As part of the Project 2996 - I have always remembered, and honored the victims of the September 11 attacks. I will continue to do so.
never enough of it
time marches on

each day

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 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. He remains one of the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists. 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 yes, his wife still has her eye on the White House. Don't doubt that for even a moment.

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?

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.

Teach your children well...
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.

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:

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?

That big boom you just heard?
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.

Speaking of Bullets and Bullshit
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.

All those AKs
were just lying around. Innocent like. Our troops never shoot anyone other than innocent civilians, Iraq is full of innocent civilians, who just happen to be surrounded by AKs just lying around.
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!

There is no terrorist threat
My post from August, 2006: Northwest Flight 327 Revisted
and the latest "news"
"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.
Unless and until we recognize the enemy for who it is, what it is and where it is, we are sheep being led to the slaughter.

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.

"I say we give them the chance to do what they wanted. Let's just set up a pay per view special. We'll have 200 soldiers with all their weapons and gear on one side of a pre-determined battlefield and on the other side we have these 6 hajis. Then let it play out."

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.

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!!!

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."

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.
Girl on the Right remembered, Blue Star Chronicles remembered, and so did Beth at Yeah, Right, Whatever.

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.

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.
Others who have taken the pledge:

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
Please listen to both segments.
And don't miss their take on the interview, titled "You call that an interview"

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.

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:
Just a suggestion...

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.

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."

Oh, and did I mention The Genius Robot Cockroach Swarm?

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."

The face of things to come
Sounds like America is getting pissed. Or... at least SoFla is...
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.

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.

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.

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,

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.

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 "beginning of a spiral of conflict."
"Since the end of the World War II, the German population has had a particular aversion to conflict," Noelle and Petersen wrote. "But in regards to Islam, the fronts are obviously getting harder."
Could it be that the world is finally waking up to the hypocrisy of Islam and the threat it poses to all of civilization?
I certainly hope so.

Make Love - Not War
Come a little bit closer... you're my kind of man...
The US military investigated building a "gay bomb", which would make enemy soldiers "sexually irresistible" to each other, government papers say.
so big and so strong... Come a little bit closer... I'm all alone... and the night is so long...
The plan for a so-called "love bomb" envisaged an aphrodisiac chemical that would provoke widespread homosexual behaviour among troops, causing what the military called a "distasteful but completely non-lethal" blow to morale.
But wait... there's more...
Scientists also reportedly considered a "sting me/attack me" chemical weapon to attract swarms of enraged wasps or angry rats towards enemy troops.
But wait... there's more...
Another idea was to develop a chemical causing "severe and lasting halitosis", so that enemy forces would be obvious even when they tried to blend in with civilians.
But wait... there's more...
In a variation on that idea, researchers pondered a "Who? Me?" bomb, which would simulate flatulence in enemy ranks.
That's all well and good, and funny too. Ha ha. Ha. It beats sending our troops out door to door for terrorists. But...
can't we just kill the enemy and be done with it?

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, al-Qaida's leader in Iraq who led a bloody campaign of suicide bombings and kidnappings, has been killed in an air strike, U.S. and Iraqi officials said Thursday, adding that his identity was confirmed by fingerprints and a look at his face. It was a major victory in the U.S.-led war in Iraq and the broader war on terror.

And so... It begins
Zacarias Moussaoui is now a nobody.
(CNN) -- Convicted al Qaeda conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui had no idea they were coming when federal marshals showed up in the middle of the night to take him to the nation's highest-security federal prison to begin serving his life sentence Saturday.
It was Friday night, shortly before midnight, when federal marshals showed up without notice at Moussaoui's holding cell in Alexandria, Virginia, said a U.S. Marshals Service official who requested anonymity because he is not a spokesman.
"Get on your feet," Moussaoui was told before being shackled and whisked away in his green jumpsuit to a small jet waiting for him at a suburban Virginia airport, the official said.
The flight arrived early Saturday in Florence, Colorado, home of the only federal "Supermax" prison, aka the "Alcatraz of the Rockies."
"It is a place of extraordinary security, 23 hours a day in cells, one hour of recreation," CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said earlier this month. "It is as close to permanent solitary confinement as exists in our prison system."
And so Moussaoui begins the rest of his life, rotting away on a concrete bench in a concrete room.
The Jawa Report dug up his address, and I think I'll send him a little note in a month or two, ask him if he still thinks he won. You can too:

United 93 Roundup
Like much of the country the ladies of The Cotillion have been heading to the theaters to watch United 93. Jody of in spite of everything has been so kind as to produce a roundup of some of those posts. The commentary is diverse and I think you’ll find the various reviews and reactions to the movie interesting.
Janette of Common Sense Runs Wild, has a wealth of informational links about United 93 that you won't want to miss.

Another Beheading Hoax
This just in from The Jawa Report:
A gruesome beheading video delivered to the Sunday Times purporting to be of slain journalist Atwar Bahjat is a hoax. On Sunday, May 7th, the Times reported that they had received a low-quality video of Atwar Bahjat being slowly beheaded. That video is now being circulated on the internet as the "Atwar Bahjat" beheading video.
The Jawa Report can reveal that the Times and Halal Jabar, the author of the article, are victims of a hoax. The video actually shows the gruesome murder of a Nepalese man by the Army of Ansar al-Sunna in Iraq from August of 2004. The man was one of 12 victims executed by the terrorist organization--the other 11 were shot (original story, video, and images of 12 Nepalese murdered in Iraq here).
Still, it doesn't change the fact that Atwar Bahja is dead, it justs adds another gruesome murder to the list of murders by the followers of the Prophet of Doom.
But, this hoax kinda reminds of this hoax.

Hope for Africa
Via The American Thinker:
The number of Muslims in Africa has diminished to 316 million, half of whom are Arabs in North Africa. So in the section of Africa that we are talking about, the non Arab section, the number of Muslims does not exceed 150 million people. When we realize that the entire population of Africa is one billion people, we see that the number of Muslims has diminished greatly from what it was in the beginning of the last century. On the other hand, the number of Catholics has increased from one million in 1902 to 329 million 882 thousand (329,882,000). Let us round off that number to 330 million in the year 2000.
As to how that happened, well there are now 1.5 million churches whose congregations account for 46 million people. In every hour, 667 Muslims convert to Christianity. Everyday, 16,000 Muslims convert to Christianity. Every year, 6 million Muslims convert to Christianity. These numbers are very large indeed …..
Is this true? I don't know, but one can hope.

I'm going today
I haven't even left the house yet, and I feel like crying.
-------------------
So, I found myself urging the passengers on, hurry, take the bastards out, do it now, as if I didn't really know the ending. We know that those brave Americans did not go freely and willingly to their deaths, and that they fought back in any and every way that they were able, but we can never truly know exactly what happened on that plane. What I saw today in the theatre was close enough. When the screen went black and the soundtrack went silent, I could hear others in the theatre sniffling and softly sobbing, as I was.
And then the woman next to me said rather loudly, "that fucking president" to which I replied, "yeah, that bastard Clinton really set us up for that one." And some people in sitting behind us applauded.
See the movie. Never Forgive and Never Forget.

How could they do such a thing?
Some people are too evil to live.
And that includes stupid fucking asshole jurors.
As he was being led from court, Moussaoui clapped his hands and said: "America, you lost. I won." He's right. Not only did we lose, but we have now sent a powerful message to terrorists today, that they can come into our cities and brutally murder our people and in return we will give them three hot meals a day, a warm place to sleep, and a comfortable bed in which to dream their murderous dreams.
For his part in the murder of thousands of Americans, the jury gave this bastard a free ride on the public's back and the ability to recruit others to his cause in the best of all places, prison, where he has a captive audience.
What is this Country coming to?

More Cyber Terrorism from the Religion of Murder, Mayhem, Death and Destruction™
In their never ending quest for global dominance and the destruction of all we hold near and dear, terrorists attacked the blogosphere yesterday.
Yesterday morning a denial of service attack began on Hosting Matters. Most, if not all, of the sites hosted there went down. Hosting Matters is home to some of the biggest and most popular blogs on the internet, sites like Power Line, Glenn Reynolds and Hugh Hewitt. It is also home to this humble little blog, I moved over last month.
The attack originated in Saudi Arabia, and spread internationally. After a few hours, we came back on-line, only to suffer a second attack later in the day.
Rumors abound that Aarons.cc was the target of this DoS attack since Aaron's was hacked by terrorists last month in a deliberate and sustained act of cyber terrorism. At the time of this posting, Aaron's site is still down.
After I posted about the attack on Aaron's site, attempts were made to hack my site, but they couldn't get in. I was at the old host then and my site went down for a few hours while they deflected the attack.
Aaron is a very loud voice on the internet when it comes to the death cult known as islam and his parodies have been circulated throughout the blogosphere. It troubles me that his site is still down, while the rest of the blogs on Hosting Matters are now back up and running.
These attacks are nothing but a continuation of the muslim Cartoon Wars and they serve to highlight what has been obvious to many for years: islam is the world leader in the suppression of free speech, as well as the world leader in the suppression of human rights. islam is the world leader in hypocrisy. islam is the number one cause of suffering in this world. islam is the number one cause of war, death and destruction. islamists contribute nothing to the world population, other than murder, mayhem, death and destruction.
Islamic websites dedicated to spreading hatred, encouraging murder, mayhem, death and destruction via every medium known to man, including the written word and yes, cartoons, number in the millions. Islamic sites that depict Jews, Americans, and Christians as monkeys and pigs, covered in the supposed blood of muslims, are used to recruit murder in the name of islam.
The appearance of one cartoon, depicting the so called spiritual leader of islam wearing a bomb on his head, and muslims subject the rest of the world to riots, destruction of property and murder of innocent people. What a bunch of fucking hypocrites.
Genesis 16.11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her: 'Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son; and thou shalt call his name Ishmael, because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
Genesis 16.12 And he shall be a wild ass of a man: his hand shall be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the face of all his brethren.
Nothing less than the death or enslavement of every single human being on the face of this earth will ever satisfy islamists. We are at war, and it is a war against islam. A war of good against evil. With the Grace of G-d, islam will be defeated and mohammed's followers will join him in hell. I hope its hot enough.
This is mohammed, the prophet of doom. Evil leader of the death cult known as islam. Killer and rapist. Child molester. His followers seek to destroy our world. May he rot in hell, along with all those who follow in his footsteps.
I am an American and I am a Jew; and I will not be silenced.
UPDATE: As Van Helsing notes in the comments, Aaron is back.

Aaron Kicks Ass part II
As you read right here over the weekend, Aaron, of Aarons.cc pissed off the terrorists so much that they went through the trouble of hacking his site, or, as Aaron so eloquently puts it... "On Thursday, mother-kicking sister-murdering camel-fellating Saudi hackers started an assault on this website which resulted in its being down from Friday afternoon until this morning."
Yes, Aaron got an internet fatwa.
The good news is that Aaron is back, bigger and better than ever, having fought the fatwa and won and he has a special response prepared for the koranimals who hacked his site:
As Sun Tzu said, "If your opponent is quick to anger, seek to irritate him."
and that's just what Aaron sets out to do, and nobody does it better. Get on over there and check it out and if you can, hit the tip jar when you get there. The bandwidth bill on this one is gonna be big!

Imagine Moderate Muslims
Imagine a country with a population of 220 million. Imagine that country is around 85 percent Muslim. Imagine that the muslims who live in this country are following a "moderate" form of Islam.
You would be imagining Indonesia, the moderate muslim paradise.
Except...
"Religious radicalism, when it is translated into violent methods in the name of religion, has received enough support -- one in every 10 Muslims in Indonesia," LSI senior researcher Anies Baswedan said. "It seems small, but this is already quite a big support for extreme acts."
huh?
One in ten of those moderate muslims support the suicide bombings that have killed hundreds of their fellow moderate muslim in recent years.
But... suicide bombing is an extremist militant muslim tactic and these are moderate muslims!
Eight percent of those moderate muslims support the Al-Queda leader in their country who is the mastermind behind those suicide bombings that have killed hundreds of their fellow moderate muslims in recent years.
But... Al-Queda is an exremist militant muslim group and these are moderate muslims.
Half of those moderate muslims support stoning as a punishment for adulterers while support for other extreme elements of Islamic sharia was also significant.
Jeepers. I didn't know stoning was a moderate muslim value.
An Indonesian expresses the "moderate view" on Israel
Of course, Indonesia's moderate muslim population doesn't like Christians much either.
Muslim means "adherent to islam." Islam is a death cult.
Moderate Muslim is an oxymoron.

Pat Robertson... Again!
But this time, he's right!
Robertson Finds Radical Muslims 'Satanic'
Television evangelist Pat Robertson said Monday on his live news-and-talk program "The 700 Club" that Islam is not a religion of peace, and that radical Muslims are "satanic."
... These people are crazed fanatics, and I want to say it now: I believe it's motivated by demonic power. It is satanic and it's time we recognize what we're dealing with."
Robertson also said that "the goal of Islam, ladies and gentlemen, whether you like it or not, is world domination."
Monday's comments were similar to remarks he made on his program in 2002, when he said Islam "is not a peaceful religion that wants to coexist. They want to coexist until they can control, dominate and then, if need be, destroy."
Monday's comments are similar to remarks made by me, right here.
This is mohammed, the prophet of doom. Evil leader of the death cult known as islam. Killer and rapist. Child molester. May he rot in hell.

RIP Tom Fox
So, the brave and admirable "freedom fighters" that Tom Fox went to Iraq to nurture, support and protect first tortured him, then killed him, and dumped his bound and bullet-riddled body beside a Baghdad railway. I guess we can be grateful that he was shot, and not beheaded.
Siding with the terrorists in this war didn't save his life.
Basically, Tom died of terminal appeasement. There is a lesson to be learned from his death.

Help lock her up for life
THE SENTENCING WAS SCHEDUILED FOR TODAY, BUT THE JUDGE HAS POSTPONED IT. YOU CAN HELP LYNNE STEWART RECEIVE THE MAXIMUM SENTENCE ALLOWED FOR HER CRIMES AGAINST AMERICA BUT YOU GOTTA DO IT NOW!!!!!!
Too many of us complain about the ease in which the liberal left commits treason to this county, and the ease in which they get away with their treason. Now is a real opportunity to say your piece on this issue and make a difference in how the law treats this traitor to all we hold dear. Pick up your pens, dammit, and do something! Tell your friends and have them do it too.
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.
Lynn 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.
Lynn 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
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
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
"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
You 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.
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 - 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 by using the quotes above.
Send a copy of your letter to the lawyers who prosecuted Lynne, 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
I say let Justice be served:
Just a suggestion...

I'm surprised!
The Washington Post has a poll:
As the war in Iraq grinds into its fourth year, a growing proportion of Americans are expressing unfavorable views of Islam, and a majority now say that Muslims are disproportionately prone to violence, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
So. What's surprising about that is:
The poll found that nearly half of Americans -- 46 percent -- have a negative view of Islam, seven percentage points higher than in the tense months after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, when Muslims were often targeted for violence.
Nearly half? Hmph. I guess the other half missed this.

Thirty-Six 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. The bomb they were making was intended to blow up a dance, a dance held at Fort Dix. Had they been better bomb-makers, instead of killing themselves, they would have killed an untold number of American soldiers. All 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.
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 some trouble finding a lawyer, Ramsey Clark is busy in Iraq, and Lynne Stewart, who has represented other members of the Weather Underground, was convicted of 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.
Too bad for them because Lynn has been a strong supporter of terrorists since she began her career as a lawyer, Lynne loves representing terrorists of the home grown variety only slightly less than she likes representing the imported islamic variety.
On March 10, 2006, Lynne Stewart will be sentenced. You can help Lynne receive the maximum sentence allowed for her crimes against America but you gotta do it now, time is running out. You can make a difference. Click here.
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, in two of a number of highly suspicious late-term pardons, pardoned both women.

Spooky is Back
Wild thing reports that Spooky Is Back ~ 10,000 Rounds A Minute Baby:
During Vietnam, gunships destroyed more than 10,000 trucks and were credited with many life-saving close air support missions. AC-130s suppressed enemy air defense systems and attacked ground forces during Operation Urgent Fury in Grenada. This enabled the successful assault of Point Salines airfield via airdrop and airland of friendly forces.
Spooky is, well, spooky. You call it in when you don't give a fuck who's offended by your presence anymore.
Of course, the $64,000 question is... Al-Sadr or Ahmadinejad? Iraq or Iran? One or both?
Spooky has been to Iraq before, in November 2004 they helped our Troops clean up Fallujah. Its about time they returned, I've never backed the notion that our soldiers should be fighting in the streets in Iraq, nope, that makes no sense to me.
“It’s got tons of guns, and it’s got all kinds of stuff on it that can be applied to the problems you have,” Brig. Gen. Frank Gorenc, who refused to discuss the current AC-130 deployment, said in an AP interview.
That “stuff” includes “the ability to take these high-tech pods and to use them to find guys planting (bombs) and to find other nefarious activity,” he said.
Yes indeed, it looks like the gloves are coming off and the "insurgency" can look forward to a little fire under their ass. Its about time too.

Have you seen this man?
The Jawa Report tells us that the FBI has added a few terrorists to the Most Wanted Terrorists List. One of the additions to the list is Abd Al Aziz Awda.
It sure is strange that the FBI can't find Abd Al Aziz Awda, since after the Israeli Government's Disengagement and turnover of Gaza to the terrorist group Hamas, Abd Al-'Aziz Al'Awda has been welcomed him back to Gaza with open arms. Yes, Abd Al-'Aziz Al'Awda is now back in Gaza, living and preaching his hate in the open. It seems that everyone knows this, except the FBI.
Abd Al-'Aziz Al'Awda is considered the "spiritual leader" of the terrorist group Islamic Jihad. He has also spoken at rallies throughout the U.S. for The Islamic Committee for Palestine (ICP), which was established by Sami Al-Arian and was promoted as a philanthropic advocacy group devoted to alleviating the suffering of Palestinian woman and children; in reality, however, the ICP served as an American front for the amassing of funds for Palestinian terrorists abroad.
Since 1988, Islamic Jihad has carried out dozens of attacks on Israelis, including 19 suicide bombings, 15 shootings and 10 car bombings. More than 150 people, the vast majority Israelis, but also at least two Americans, have been killed. Among U.S. victims were Alisa Flatow, 20 and Shoshana Ben-Yishai, 16, both killed in bus bombings.
Abd Al-'Aziz Al'Awda, Islamic Jihad's "spiritual leader," was deported by Israel to Lebanon in 1988 (along with other members of palestinian terrorists groups) and Islamic Jihad moved its headquarters to Damascus.
But that was way back when the Israeli Government took a hard line on terrorism. Things have changed since then. Now, Hamas is in control and Abd Al-'Aziz Al'Awda is back in Gaza, and he's not hiding either.
Since Adb Al-'Aziz Al'Awda is wanted the FBI in connection with terrorist activities worldwide, I can't help but wonder why the FBI doesn't just ask the palestinians to turn him over. I mean really, Abu Mazen and the Palestinian Authority are supposed to a peace-loving, peace-seeking bunch, right? Surely they will cooperate with the United States of America in the War on Terror, right?
And if not? Well, that would mean that the Palestinian Authority supports, protects and harbours terrorists right?
Any government that supports, protects or harbours terrorists is complicit in the murder of the innocent and equally guilty of terrorist crimes. - George W. Bush
So. The Palestinian Authority supports, protects and harbours terrorists. By definition, that makes them guilty of terrorist crimes. That makes them terrorists.
But... wait just a cotton pickin' minute! The Palestinian Authority is guilty of terrorist crimes and the United States supports the Palestinian Authority. The Palestinian Authority is guilty of terrorist crimes and the United States of America funds the Palestinian Authority.
So. I have to ask the question: What does that make the United States of America?

How easily we forget
Today is the 13th anniversary of the bombing of the World Trade Center parking garage on February 26, 1993, in which 6 Americans died (7 including an unborn baby carried by one of the adult victims) and over 1,000 were injured.
The mastermind of the bombing, Ramzi Yousef, was convicted in 1998 and will spend the rest of his life in prison. The spiritual leader of the Islamic Jihad-associated terrorists who conducted the bombing, Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, was also convicted in connection with the bombings and is also serving a life sentence without parole.
A small stone memorial in honor of the victims of the 1993 bombing was erected in the WTC and was destroyed in the 9/11/01 attacks (pictured). Link
On February 10, 2005, radical leftist attorney Lynne Stewart was convicted of helping the 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.

The friend of my enemy
Is my enemy:
The Central Intelligence Agency did not target Al Qaeda chief Osama bin laden once as he had the royal family of the United Arab Emirates with him in Afghanistan, the agency's director, George Tenet, told the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks on the United States on Thursday.
Had the CIA targeted bin Laden, half the royal family would have been wiped out as well, he said.
but wait... there's more:
It turns out that an anti-Israeli foundation run by the crown prince of Dubai owns the very deed to CAIR's headquarters located almost in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol. The foundation has held telethons to support families of Palestinian suicide bombers.
The UAE supports terrorists, the UAE funds terrorists, the UAE honors terrorists. So what does that make the UAE?

About that UAE-Port thing...
Call me islamophobic if you like, but I don't make this stuff up.
Founder of UAE Think Tank Salutes Mothers of Palestinian Suicide Bombers
The following are excerpts from an interview with the founder of "The Creative Thinking" center in the UAE, Dr. 'Ali Al-Hamadi, which aired on Iqra TV on July 21, 2005:
Al-Hamadi: Haven't we heard about the blessed mothers in Palestine who go to their sons and prepare them for martyrdom for the sake of Allah? The son sets out and on his way, he calls his mother from his cellphone, and tells her: "I've arrived at the place, I am going in." Then he says, "I'm ready," and the mother guides him and encourages him until she hears the bombs go off over the cellphone. Then she bows, thanking Allah for granting her son martyrdom for His sake. Then she utters cries of joy and refuses to accept condolences. She does not open a grieving tent, but rather a congratulation tent, because Allah granted her son martyrdom. Such Hansaa-like women have appeared again in our times. Some of these women commit martyrdom themselves. They may be married women or students, but even so, they are not tempted by this life, and they carry out martyrdom operations for the sake of Allah.
Who is fighting in Iraq? This is also from MEMRI:
As the U.S. carried out operations in Iraq, the Arab media interviewed many of the Arab Jihad fighters, asking them why they came, where they came from, and about their experiences. H. 'A., from Yemen , who returned to San'aa from Iraq via Damascus , told the Arabic-language daily Al-Hayat:
"There were hundreds of Arab volunteers there – Syrians, Moroccans, Algerians, Palestinians, Libyans, Jordanians, Egyptians, and [volunteers] from the UAE and from other Arab countries, whom I didn't have a chance to get to know. The training in the camp was poor and disorganized, even though the Iraqi officials had welcomed us cordially. Two days later, we were given guns, ammunition, and grenades. They divided us into groups in the neighborhoods at the outskirts of Baghdad , Al-Qut and areas to the north on the road to Mossul. But most of our groups were stationed around Baghdad , on the barricades and in the trenches prepared for us in advance."
The UAE supports terrorists, the UAE funds terrorists, the UAE honors terrorists. So what does that make the UAE?

It was the Jooooooos....
In case you were wondering who blew up the Golden Mosque....
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad blamed the United States and Israel on Thursday for the destruction of a Shiite shrine's golden dome in Iraq, saying it was the work of "defeated Zionists and occupiers."
"These passive activities are the acts of a group of defeated Zionists and occupiers who intended to hit our emotions," he said in a speech that was broadcast on state television. Addressing the United States, he added: "You have to know that such an act will not save you from the anger of Muslim nations."
No group claimed responsibilty for the 6:55 a.m. assault on the shrine in Samarra, 60 miles north of Baghdad, carried out by insurgents posing as police. But suspicion fell on Sunni extremist groups, and a government statement said "several suspects" had been detained.

A Western Manifesto
The "Intergalactic Source Of Truth" has written "A Western Manifesto." It is a twenty point rebuttal from the West to Islam and it's awesome.
My favorites points:
5. Even the brightest of flames in the history of Dar Al-Islam were smothered by the Wahhabis, the literalists, the obscurantists. What Islamic glories do the Wahhabis claim, except the glory of hate and death? How does killing glorify or please Allah? Answer that.
7. Islam fosters hatred of infidels through its support for and condonation of concepts such as "infidel," "najis," "polytheists," "jizyah," "dhimma," and "jihad." So long as Muslims do not reject these concepts totally, they will be met with similar discrimination and contempt from infidels. Is this not just?
17. Riot and kill all you want, if you must. But be careful. The next magnificent act of destruction you accomplish will sweep away the cowards and the weak voices in our countries. Only the warriors will be heard then. That is the price you will pay. Understand! We are not strangers to violence. If you insist, we will show you what our wrath can accomplish with modern weapons. Remember Iwo Jima, El Alemein, and Stalingrad. The kuffar are not afraid of fighting. Do you dare to put your doubts to the test?
It is a most excellent read, but its intended audience will never, ever get it. Hatred, death and destruction are part of the nature of islam and no matter what we do, we can't change their nature. Remember the story of the frog and the scorpion:
One day a scorpion was walking along the riverbank trying to find a way to get across the river when he came across a frog sitting alongside the riverbank. The scorpion walked up to the frog and said "Mr. Frog, I wish to get to the other side of the river. Will you help me?" The frog quickly replied, "No Mr. Scorpion, I will not, for if I let you on my back, you will sting me and I will drown." The scorpion replied, "but Mr. Frog, if I stung you then you would drown and if you drown then I would drown also."
The frog thought for a minute and then said, "That is true Mr. Scorpion, very well then, I will give you a ride." And so, the scorpion jumps on the frog's back and they start out across the river. Half way across the river, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog first feels the sting and then the venom as it races through his veins. He begins to become paralyzed. With his last breath Mr. Frog cries out, "Why? Why Mr. Scorpion did you sting me for now surely we both shall die." The scorpion replies, "I am sorry Mr. Frog, but I can't help it. Its my nature."

Cartoon Insanity Continues
This just in from Afghanistan, or maybe Pakistan, or Syria, or Jordan, or one of those muslim backwaters...
Students gathered at the university campus chanted "Death to Denmark", "Death to America" and "Death to France", a witness said.
They also shouted support for al Qaeda leaders Osama bin Laden and Ayman al Zawahri.
Shouting "Death to Karzai", they demanded President Hamid Karzai close the embassies of Denmark, the United States and France and expel their forces from Afghanistan.
"If they abuse the Prophet of Islam again we will all become al Qaeda," the students shouted.
I wonder why the are no death to Egypt chants. Perhaps because they are using any excuse at all to riot and destroy things? or maybe they are all a bunch of psychotic backwards cave dwelling morons. Either way, I'm sick of it.
Am I the only one who looks at this picture and thinks.... now that was a good spot for a daisy cutter:
Although, maybe if we let them riot long enough, who knows, they just might kill each other off and save us the trouble.
How come muslims don't protest when muslims kill muslims at protests?
In related news, Six Meat Buffet has a suggestion on the table, and its a good one.

The Betrayal of Denmark (and of Us All)
This is how the Danes feel today:
We are being pissed upon. I think it was the long departed H.C. Hansen, one of the great Danish statesmen of the last century, who – as the communists were demonstrating in front of Christiansborg [the Danish Parliament] – cast his gaze across the palace square and remarked: “I will not be pissed upon.”
Then he did what was necessary.
I feel that currently my beloved country is being pissed upon rather too much. Denmark has not been neglecting its duties on the international stage. We have supported poor people with acts and advice, we have worked for peace, we have sent soldiers, policemen and experts to all the far flung corners of the world. We have democracy, a rule of law and a welfare state. Not all is perfect, but we harbor no malice towards our fellow men.
And yet Denmark is being pissed upon. The spokesman of the US State Department is pissing on Denmark, the British Secretary of Foreign Affairs is pissing on Denmark, the President of Afghanistan is pissing on Denmark, the Government of Iraq is pissing on Denmark, other Muslim regimes are pissing on Denmark. In Gaza, where Danes for years have provided humanitarian aid, crazed Imams encourage people to cut off the hands and heads of the cartoonists who made the drawings of Mohammed for the Jyllands-Posten newspaper.
Excuse my choice of words, but all this pissing is pissing me off.
What is going on? I am not referring so much to the threats against Danish citizens and Danish commerce. Nor to the burnt down Embassies. I am thinking of a word that keeps popping up whenever the Mohammed cartoons are mentioned.
That word is BUT. A sneaky word. It is used to deny or qualify what one has just said.
How many times lately have we not heard people of power, the Opinion Makers and others say that of course we have freedom of speech, BUT.
They have said it, all of them, from Kofi Annan, the UN Secretary General, to our own Bendt Bendtsen [a Danish Politician]. Once we had to be sensitive to the easily hurt feelings of the Nazis, then came the Communists, now it is the Islamists. The reason I say ‘Islamists’ is that I do not for a moment believe all the world’s Muslims are pissing on us. I think we are dealing with thugs, fools and misled people. Those are the ones we have to deal with, and then the chickenshit politicians.

When Al Gore speaks...
Terrorists listen.
... Arabs in the United States had been "indiscriminately rounded up, often on minor charges of overstaying a visa or not having a green card in proper order, and held in conditions that were just unforgivable. Unfortunately there have been terrible abuses and it's wrong," Gore said.
As Glenn Reynolds notes: "Only Al Gore could come up with the idea of criticizing Bush for not sucking up to the Saudis enough. Sigh."

Koran them!
Sir Banagor sums up the cartoon controversy:
Let’s show Mohammed doing what he did best. Let’s show what Mohammed boasted about, himself: slaughtering and beheading people, raping women, and fucking nine year old girls. Oops, you can’t really draw that last one without being convicted of child pornography though, can you?
Think about that for a moment. Just think about it: A man so vile, so filthy, so evil that actually showing the details of his “accomplishments” is against the fucking law!
I’ll say it in another way: You can’t even publish pictures in our society of what Mohammed did because it is so sick that it violates the laws of DECENCY!
And this is the guy the Muslims have convinced half the world is a “man of peace”?

Help lock her up and lock her down
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. You can help Lynne receive the maximum sentence allowed for her crimes against America.
Lynn 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.
Lynn 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.
The sentencing is coming up soon 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.
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 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
I say let Justice be served:

A Religion of Peace Celebration
The peaceful followers of peaceful Islam took some time off from peaceful rioting, burning, pillaging, beheading infidels, killing Jews and killing each other in the name of their peaceful g0d to peacefully celebrate the peaceful holy islamic holiday of Ashura.
In order to participate, you will need a sharp sword and metal chains to flagellate yourself in this unique Religion of Peace ceremony. You will also need white robes to show off the blood and gore to your fellow celebrants. Children and horses are expected to participate.
Some of you may be horrified to see these pictures but you are urged to remember that this is but one more way to worship the Prophet of Doom a/k/a Allah, and despite appearances to the contrary, this is a religion and not a cult. In fact, it is the Religion of Peace.
Therefore, this type of behavior is not to be considered abuse, even when it is children who are being beaten and bloodied with swords and chains.
Remember, there's no crying allowed.
So shut up and enjoy the show. You might as well get used to these images, after all, if the left has its way, you will soon be able to view these things first hand in the streets of America. In fact, you will probably be expected to participate, that is, of course, if you would like to keep your head.
Feel like praying yet?
The origins of Ashura: When the Omayyad Moslem army arrived at Karbala, Ali, the last blood relative of Mohammed found that his cowardly army had deserted him. He rode out with about 30 of his closest followers, and they were slaughtered. Muslims flaggelate and mutilate themselves on the each anniversary of his death to show remorse for deserting him before the battle.
There's more on this over at Six Meat Buffet, more pictures Aarons CC, and other places as well.

Yadda Yadda.. Get ready to die
Proclaiming "I am al-Qaida," Zacarias Moussaoui was escorted from a federal courtroom in Alexandria on Monday at the outset of jury selection in his terrorist conspiracy trial. As he was removed by federal marshals, he shouted, "This trial is a circus."
I agree with the asshole, the trial is a circus since Moussaoui pleaded guilty last year to charges he was part of conspiracy that led to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States.
Zacarias "I am al-Qaida" Moussaoui
Sorry fuckwad, maybe once upon a time you were al-Qaida, but that was then, and this is now. Now, you are a prisoner of the United States of America and soon, you will be a dead man.

Iranian Crisis Update
The U.N. nuclear watchdog Saturday reported Iran to the U.N. Security Council in a resolution expressing concern that Tehran's nuclear program may not be "exclusively for peaceful purposes."
Iran retaliated immediately, saying it would resume uranium enrichment at its main plant instead of in Russia.
There is reason why we are bringing home soldiers and sending less and less soldiers to Iraq.
We need them for Iran.

At last, the truth!
Frank Lindh cannot be blamed for the emotions behind his need to reinvent history or doing what he can to get his son out of jail. But he is lying. His son did not “love America”, he fought for bin Laden against us, his son is not “honest”, he lied to his parents and others. His son is not a “decent” young man; he trained to be a murderer. His son went to kill strangers in a stranger land. A spiritual quest? What part of grenades and AK 47’s can be described as spiritual?
What part of patriotism is eating bin Laden’s food, listening to Usama’s droning hate-filled speeches against America and sitting obediently within strangling distance of our greatest single enemy? To think that the American public is that stupid is an insult. John Walker Lindh was an Arab speaking member of bin Laden’s terror legions. He called it Al Ansar (the correct term) we call them al Qaeda. He was never a member of the Taliban. Why because Lindh only spoke Arabic and English he would have been useless in a combat situation among Pashto or Dari speaking troops. I have seen Taliban ID cards and spent time with bin Laden’s “055 Brigade, “al Ansar” members and al qaeda.
Lindh was exactly the person we were trying to kill in Afghanistan and now around the world. An educated, idealistic young Muslim who chose murder of innocent people as his path in life. He is no different that Mohamed Atta, Zarqawi or thousands of other terrorists that come from nice middle class families.

He's Back...
From al-jazeera:
Muqtada al-Sadr, the Iraqi cleric, has said his al-Mahdi Army would help to defend Iran if it is attacked.
"The forces of Mahdi Army defend the interests of Iraq and Islamic countries," al-Sadr said. "If neighbouring Islamic countries, including Iran, become the target of attacks, we will support them. The Mahdi Army is beyond the Iraqi army. It was established to defend Islam."
Yawn. Sadr? Didn't we kick his ass until he surrendered? Sure we did and it was a mistake. We should have kicked his ass until he was dead.

Karimov - No longer a contender
Moonbat David Wallechinsky's annual Ten Worst Dictators has been released. A virtual Who's Who of the United Nations, U.S. President George W. Bush did not make the list.
The top three has not changed, Sudan's genocidal Omar Al-Bashir retained his number one spot, followed by Kim Jong-il of North Korea and Than Shwe of Burma is still holding at number 3. Zimbabwe's Mugabe, whose government has killed or tortured and displaced nearly 100,000, made the jiump from number 9 to number 4. His mother must be proud.
Last year, I was surprised to find that Uzbekistan's Islam Karimov didn't make the list, and this year, he jumped to number 5! I guess boiling people alive does count for something after all, or maybe he made it just because he's rumored to be Bush buddy. Gotta keep the fires hot under El Presidente!
Speaking of El Presidente, its interesting to note that the Liberal's darling dictator, Fidel Casto, is conspicuously absent from the top ten, as he was last year. Castro did make it as a contender this year, as he did last year, however, he dropped down two spots to number 15. That's practically bottom of the barrel for old Fidel.
Muammar al-Qaddafi got bumped from the top ten but there is no explanation for his demotion, other then that he "made his peace with the outside world by renouncing his quest for weapons of mass destruction and opening his oil fields to foreign companies." Perhaps the fact that criticizing Qaddafi is considered a crime punishable by death had something to do with it.
Number 6 from last year, bumped down to number 10 on the list is Equatorial Guinea's Teodoro Obiang Nguema, who has declared: “There is no poverty in Guinea.” Rather, “The people are used to living in a different way” while the bulk of the country's oil income goes directly into his U.S. bank. His people survive on about $1 a day. Last year, state radio announced that Obiang “is in permanent contact with the Almighty” and “can decide to kill without anyone calling him to account and without going to Hell.”

Muslims Speak
and by their words, you shall know them, and their intentions:
"Oh, you Muslims everywhere, sever the ties of their nation, tear them apart, ruin their economy, instigate against their corporations, destroy their embassies, attack their interests, sink their ships, and shoot down their airplanes. Kill them in land, at sea, and in the air, kill them wherever you find them." Sheikh Abdel Rahman from a US prison
“We must not forget that Allah's rules have to be established in all lands..." Imam Muzammil H. Siddiqi, Islamic Society of North America
“Ultimately we can never be full citizens of this country. . . because there is no way we can be fully committed to the institutions and ideologies of this country” Ihsan Bagby
“To permit Islam to attain its rightful place requires that the ideology of Islam prevail over the mental horizon of the American people.” Shamim A. Siddiqi
“Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran…should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.” Omar Ahmad, Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR).
“I have a vision in America, Muslims owning property all over, Muslim businesses, factories, halal meat, supermarkets, all these buildings owned by Muslims. Can you see the vision, can you see the Newark International Airport and a John Kennedy Airport and LaGuardia having Muslim fleets of planes, Muslim pilots. Can you see our trucks rolling down the highways, Muslim names.” Imam Siraj Wahhaj
“I wouldn't want to create the impression that I wouldn't like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future.” Ibrahim Hooper, (CAIR).
"The first principle is that terrorism, and terrorism alone, is the path to liberation. . . . If what they mean by jihad is terrorism, then we are terrorists." Fawaz Damra, Convicted Imam, Ohio
“Let us continue the protests. Let us damn America. Let us damn Israel. Let us damn their allies until death. Mohammad is leader. The Qu’ran is our constitution. Jihad is our path. Victory to Islam. Death to Israel. Revolution! Revolution! Until Victory! Rolling, rolling to Jerusalem.” Sami Al Arian
"The Day of Judgment will never happen until you fight the Jews. . . . The trees and stones will say, oh Muslim, there is a Jew hiding behind me. Come and kill him!" Hatem Bazian, Lecturer, University of California at Berkeley.
“Muslims cannot accept the legitimacy of the secular system in the United States, for it "is against the orders and ordainments of Allah . . . the orientation of the Qur'an pushes us in the exact opposite direction as the forces that are at work in the American political spectrum." Zaid Shakir, former Muslim chaplain at Yale.
"We don't make a distinction between civilians and non-civilians…Only between Muslims and unbelievers. And the life of an unbeliever has no value." British career welfare recipient Sheikh Omar Bakri
"The real weapons of mass destruction are the desire for martyrdom. Millions of you are ready to be shaheed. Half a million martyrdom shaheed is enough for Muslims to control the whole of earth forever. In the end of the day, Islam must control earth, whether we like it or not." Abu Hamza al-Masri, Islamic Cleric
"I am telling you that my religion doesn't tolerate other religion. It doesn't tolerate. The only one law which needs to spread, it can be here or anywhere else, has to be Islam" Abu Bakr, Muslim Cleric

Its the Muslims, Stupid
"Do not be afraid to preserve your Christian heritage and Christian presence in Bethlehem." So sayeth Pope John Paul II.
FACT: Recent statistics show that the Christian Arab population numbers approximately 2.4 percent of the total population. This is a significant decrease from 1948, when the figure was approximately 20%. (New York Times, 31 December 1995).
FACT: the Christian population in Israel has more than quadrupled since 1948. In a census conducted by the British mandatory authorities in 1947, there were 28,000 Christians in Jerusalem. Since 1948, this number has increased from 30,000 (all of Israel) to approximately 146,000 as of 1993 (Jerusalem, seventh edition; Israel Information Center, 1995). This more than 200% increase is largely seen as a result of Israel’s policy of guaranteeing freedom of worship to all religions in all places.
"Thousands of tourists and pilgrims gathered in Bethlehem for Christmas Eve celebrations Saturday, bringing a long-missing sense of holiday cheer to Jesus' historic birthplace. ... But Israel's imposing separation barrier at the entrance to town dampened the Christmas spirit and provided a stark reminder of the unresolved conflict." So sayeth Sarah El Deeb, staff writer for the AP.
"For centuries, pilgrims from around the world converged on the Palestinian town of Bethlehem at Christmas, packing Manger Square and the Church of the Nativity, the birthplace of Jesus Christ. ... In 2002, Israel began building a 25-foot concrete wall around the city, severing it from Jerusalem and the northern West Bank. Today, the streets of Bethlehem are quiet." So sayeth the San Francisco Cronicle.
"A towering wall of gray concrete slabs, 30 feet high, cuts across what was once the main road into this town from Jerusalem. Just inside the barrier, past a new Israeli security terminal, a once-bustling neighborhood has become a ghost town. Shops are shuttered or empty, and the streets are deserted. ... The deteriorating economy has led to a steady exodus of the city's Christian residents." So sayeth the Chicago Tribune
FACT: "Contrary to the Chronicle report and scores of other media accounts, there is no barrier that encircles Bethlehem. A fence exists only where the Bethlehem area interfaces with Jerusalem, and only a small segment of the fence is a concrete wall, which Israel says is meant to prevent gunmen from shooting at Israeli motorists."
The PA leadership maintains that it seeks peace, with guarantees of religious freedom. Unfortunately, the facts show otherwise.
FACT: Today, the PA-controlled Wakf prevents Jews and Christians from praying on the Temple Mount, an area considered to be of religious and historical importance to the Christian religion.
FACT: Many mosques have mushroomed adjacent to and usually taller than churches. Loudly amplified Moslem sermons have been aired during Christian services, including the Pope's April 2000 address in Nazareth. The Moslem broadcasts were so loud, in fact, that the Pope was forced to halt his speech until Moslem call to prayer was concluded.
FACT: Anti-Christian rhetoric is common in official PA broadcasts. For example, in a Friday sermon on October 13, 2000, broadcast live on official Palestinian Authority television from a Gaza mosque, Dr. Ahmad Abu Halabiya proclaimed: “Allah the almighty has called upon us not to ally with the Jews or the Christians, not to like them, not to become their partners, not to support them, and not to sign agreements with them.”
FACT: The treatment of Christian women, like that of Moslem women in PA-controlled areas, is also oppressive in nature. Accused of wearing “permissive” Western clothing, there have been many cases of intimidation and harassment reported by Bethlehem Christian women. Even more alarming, there have been frequent reports of rape and abduction of Christian women (especially in Beit Sahur).
FACT: Without prior consent of the church, Yasser Arafat turned the Greek Orthodox monastery near the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem into his domicile during his visits to the city.
FACT: On July 5, 1997, the PLO seized Abraham's Oak Russian Holy Trinity Monastery in Hebron, violently evicting monks and nuns.
FACT: During the 2000-2002 Palestinian War of Terror, the PA's Tanzim militia chose the Christian town of Beit Jala to shoot at Jerusalem. They were specifically positioned in or near Christian homes, hotels, churches (e.g., St. Nicholas), and the Greek Orthodox club.
FINAL FACT: The Christians in PA controlled areas have begun to pray in secret. Some are applying to move to Israeli-controlled areas, where they are assured the right to worship freely.
"All this talk about Israel driving Christians out and causing pain is nonsense," a Bethlehem Christian community leader told WND. "You want to know what is at play here, just come throughout the year and see the intimidation from the Muslims. They have burned down our stores, built mosques in front of our churches, stole our real estate and took away our rights. Women have been raped and abducted. So don't tell me about Israel. It's the Muslims."

No. No. and No.
American-born Taliban soldier John Walker Lindh has asked President Bush again to reduce his 20-year prison sentence by an unspecified amount, Lindh's attorney said Tuesday.
Lindh, now in his early 20s, wrote a first-person account to the Justice Department's pardon attorneys arguing why he believes Bush should reduce his sentence. Lindh's attorney said the document could not be publicly released under U.S. government restrictions intended to prevent Lindh from disclosing national secrets.
Sorry but 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.
I object to my tax dollars feeding this low-life scumbag. Too bad he wasn't shot while trying to escape.

One Picture - One Thousand Words
Seeing pictures of pretty girls with purple fingers makes you feel darn good, but for me, this one photo fills me with pride and the satisfaction of knowing that our troops have done one heck of a good job in Iraq. We are winning!
This brave Iraqi soldier is a target for terrorists as much as our Troops are, and look at him!
An Iraqi soldier displays an ink-stained finger to prove he voted
in the national elections Dec. 12, 2005 at a polling site near Taji, Iraq.

Oriana Fallaci
Oriana Fallaci is one of the most honest and active critics of radical Islam. Because of that, she is in exile from her country, where she faces imprisonment for "the defamation of Islam." Alas, she is also fighting a losing battle with cancer, yet, even in her last days, she soldiers on.
On November 30, 2005, Oriana Fallaci gave what will likely be her final speech:
"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.

Peace Activists Taken Hostage
Al-Jazeera broadcast an insurgent video Tuesday showing four peace activists taken hostage in Iraq. The Swords of Righteousness Brigade said the four were spies working undercover as Christian peace activists.
But... but... you can't kill us, we're on your side!
Too bad that our Troops now have to deal with the search and rescue of these foolish people who have no business being in a war zone.
Update: The Jawa Report has extensive coverage.

Suffer the Children
Terrorists Attack U.S. Toy Giveway:
A suicide attacker steered a car packed with explosives toward U.S. soldiers giving away toys to children outside a hospital in central Iraq on Thursday, killing at least 31 people. Almost all of the victims were women and children, police said.
As if that weren't enough for one day, according to this report, a vehicle was stopped west of Baghdad carrying children's toys booby trapped with hand grenades and shrapnel.
To the lunatic leftist bastards in the this county (and yes, that would be you hashfanatic), who run off the mouth in support of these terrorist scumbags:
You share responsibility for the murder of these poor children.
That's right, everytime you open your mouth against our troops and in support of these scumbags, you condone and encourage the murder of innocents.

The Full Picture
The mainstream media showed this to America:
But the mainstream media didn't show this to America:
Wonder why? Take a closer look:
World Without Zionism, a call to destroy Israel. When America saw it, America shrugged. I wonder how Americans would feel if they realized that the destruction of Israel is depicted AFTER the destruction of America. Yes, that's America lying there, already broken, as Israel falls after.
I found this at Regime Change, and I wonder how America would react to the calls for the destruction of America that are quoted on that page.
Why deny America this information? Why hide the threat to our lives, our liberties? Why give us fake memos and half truths? Why? Perhaps the answer to these questions is... Why not?
After all, they have been getting away with it for years:
I wonder how many Americans are aware that in September of 2002, an editorial in the Iraqi weekly Al-Iqtisadi [The Economist], which at the time was owned by Saddam Hussein's eldest son Uday, called for the formation of suicide squads to launch broad-based terrorist attacks against the United States, its friends, and interests. Despite the call to consider everything American as a military target, including civilians, and including children, America's own media did not deem it a newsworthy item.
The media has blood on their hands, the blood of innocent civilians and the blood of those honorable men and women of the United States Military who are sworn to protect them.
"Accomplice" - One associated with another in a crime, having guilty knowledge and complicity.
In June of 2004, after receiving a tip that terrorists had placed a roadside bomb along a convoy route to ambush our troops, instead of reporting the location of the bomb, members of the media traveled to the location and set up their cameras. There they waited, like the vultures that they are, no warning was given to the military, no attempt was made to save the lives of our troops, oh no, instead, the media prepared to film the attack on our troops.
For this alone, the members of the media and their employers should be charged with treason, aiding and abetting terrorists, as well as attempted murder of our troops.
Newspaper readership is falling off by the thousands, perhaps Americans are getting tired of being lied to and manipulated. I know I am.

Know your enemy
IF YOU HOTLINK THESE PICTURES, WHAT YOU SEE WILL NOT BE WHAT YOU GET.
UPDATE: Turns out that the following was not a real "punishment" and was "only" street theatre. That doesn't make it okay people, what kind of person would consider such a thing?
An 8 year old boy was caught stealing bread in Iran.
The peace loving, kind, compassionate and tolerant followers of Islam (may they rot in hell) meted out their punishment. There are six pictures. This is the first.
Do you see what they did to an eight year old child? They ran over him with a car. This is a crime against humanity and yet another atrocity brought to us by the faithful followers of The Prophet of Doom.
The rest of the pictures are in the extended post, you can click below to see them, but I'm warning you, if you view these pictures, this child's face will haunt you forever.
What kind of mind does it take to conceive of such a punishment? What kind of mind does it take to do such a thing to an eight year old child? These "people" are without souls, without concience. This is a child, a hungry child, seeking food.
We should bomb islam right back to the hell it comes from and yes, we should do it for the children.

Dark Prince - Defender of Islam
Prince Charles, the recent recipient of an Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies Award for his contribution to understanding Islam, is now coming to America, to defend and promote Islam, and to encourage America to "share his fondness for Islam."
A likely followup indeed to the conversion of his Gloucestershire garden at his Highgrove home into a minature "Muslim Paradise," presumably without 72 virgins.
Prince Charles, Defender of Islam
The Prince of Wales will try to persuade George W Bush and Americans of the merits of Islam this week because he thinks the United States has been too intolerant of the religion since September 11."I find the language and rhetoric coming from America too confrontational," the Prince said
Khalid Mahmood, the Labour MP for Birmingham Perry Bar, was also at the meeting at St James's Palace. "His criticism of America was a general one of the Americans not having the appreciation we have for Islam and its culture," he said.
Prince Charles, who is about to embark on his first official foreign tour since his marriage to the Duchess of Cornwall, wants Americans - including Mr Bush - to share his fondness for Islam.
"Share his fondness for Islam?" Piss off Prince. I have no fondness for terrorists.
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.
You obviously view terrorists as "freedom fighters" and/or "militants" fighting oppression. Tell that to the children of Beslan. Tell that to teenagers in Israel, the 3,000 who died on 9/11, the hundreds killed on a train in Spain, the hundreds of Iraqis who were blown up in the street this year, oh, and the hundreds of your countrymen who died in July.
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 July11, 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.

We're in trouble now!
The situation in Iraq is likely become a quagmire now that Norway is going to abandon the effort:
Norway: Incoming gov't to pull troops from IraqThe left-leaning coalition preparing to form Norway's next government said Thursday it plans to withdraw Norwegian troops from Iraq and from US-led operations in Afghanistan.
The Nordic country has 20 soldiers in Iraq, 10 serving in staff-officer positions within the British and Polish contingents, and 10 involved in training Iraqi forces.
Of course, this news leaves us with the question: "How will we succeed in Iraq without the support of 10 Nordic paper pushers and 10 Nordic teachers?" < /sarcasm>
The KFOR soldiers from Norbataljonen did have one shining moment in the War on Terror, although the soldiers responsible have since left the army:
That's right, they did the video Kosovo, click the pic if you haven't seen it. I loved the video, except for that very last scene.
I would like to note that cute as the video is, the original song was done in 1999 by moonbat Bob Rivers, who, when asked about the song, said:
"... the intent of the song was to mock my own country for its bullying ways around the world. The idea was to point out how casually the US plays World Police. The song takes on the persona of the US government, ridiculing the fact that we push others around without much concern. It is satire, which some have mistaken for literal propoganda. It was meant to be heard in the US and cause a US citizen to realize of how stupid our actions sound when put to music."
and
"The song has been stolen, video put to it, and I wish there were a way to stop it."
Thanks for sharing Bob, you'll be happy to know that others share your thoughts about America, others such as Osama Bin Laden, and I'm sure he appreciates your efforts.
Still, I hate to be the one to tell you Bob, but you failed in your mission. Your attempt to undermine our morale backfired on ya, didn't it? Too bad Bob. America will succeed despite your efforts. America will succeed in Iraq without your support, and America will succeed in Iraq without the support of 20 Nordic soldiers.

Never Forget - The USS Cole
United States Navy's Personnel
Who lost their lives
on the USS Cole (DDG 67)
12 October 2000
On Thursday, October 12, 2000, 17 young lives were taken in a terrorist attack on the USS Cole, docked in the port of Yemen to take on fuel. It was a deliberate act of war, ignored and unavenged by the Clinton Administration.
We must never forget these brave young men and women, they gave us their all.

No Coincidence Here
Three explosive devices found in a courtyard between two Georgia Tech dormitories on the East Campus Monday morning were part of a "terrorist act," an Atlanta police official said.One of the devices exploded, injuring the custodian who found them inside a plastic bag. Two others were detonated by a bomb squad.
and... another at UCLA
An explosive device was detonated by the Los Angeles Police Department bomb squad outside of 527 Midvale Ave. on Friday afternoon.A calm and quiet Westwood was briefly disrupted Friday afternoon when the Los Angeles Police Department bomb squad inspected and detonated an explosive device found within the Midvale Plaza apartment complex on the 500 block of Midvale Avenue.
After responding to a call made at 11:13 a.m., the bomb squad arrived at 527 Midvale Ave. to find "an improvised explosive device" in the building's open-air courtyard, said Grace Brady, a spokeswoman for the LAPD.
No injuries were reported, but authorities have been slow to release details about the incident and the device.
Residents said they first heard a small explosion sometime between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m. Friday, but most said they went back to sleep. It was not until a resident found an explosive device later that morning that the police were called.

What a Coincidence!
So. I've read the tiny bit of news out there about what happened at the Sooners game, and I've read the massive amount of commentary available on the internet.
End result: It is simply beyond my comprehension that the "authorities" expect us to believe that what happened was anything other than a domestic terrorist "work accident." It seems obvious that Hinrichs, having been scared away from entering the stadium by bag searches, was waiting for the wave of people exiting to hit the streets. Something went boom too soon.
The FBI continues to claim that there is nothing to see, that this was only a depressed student who committed suicide and who had no ties to terrorism. As if its an everyday event when someone commits suicide outside a packed football stadium with the very same unstable mix used by the terrorists to blow up infidels. Really, how many suicides blow themselves up?
Must be a coincidence that Hinrich had the same material that the Shoe Bomber used.
Must be a coincidence that there was jihadist material from a mosque, and the same mosque attended by Zaccharias Mossoui (the 20th hijacker who missed flight 93).
Must be a coincidence that Hinrich knew the same Mullah who counseled some of the 9/11 hijackers to keep their focus on the murder of infidels in the World Trade Center.
Must be a coincidence huh, like the refinery in Texas where there were five difference explosions in five different places but, there was no terrorism happening there either?
Must be a coincidence, like the concourse at MIA that was shut down because hundreds of people were getting violently sick, and later the news said it was a "cleaning fluid spill." Never had a cleaning spill do that before, but still, it was no big deal, unless you know that the same thing happened in Texas, on the same day and at the same hour.
Oh well.
On one level, I can understand that we need to keep people calm. But on another level, maybe if people knew that there were dangers, that there are threats, that we are truly at war, this country might be in a better position to fight.
But then again, what do I know about such things?
I am being told that bomb squad's actions at the Miami game on the same night as Hinrich's "suicide" is a coincidence too, that the bag they blew up outside of the Orange Bowl contained nothing but some clothing.
I believe it. Don't you?

Move along, Nothing to see here...
I was tailgating at the Miami Hurricanes game last night and the bomb squad showed up. Seems someone left a black duffel bag just outside of one of the tents, on the sidewalk across from where we were parked. They herded us away from our vehicles.
The squad's robot dragged the bag away, and then they blew it up in the parking lot. We thought it was all good fun, cheering and applauding afterwards.
Surprisingly, I found nothing in the news about it however, there is this:
One person was killed in an explosion near a packed football stadium at the University of Oklahoma on Saturday night in what authorities said appeared to be a suicide.
The article goes on to say:
A police bomb squad detonated explosives found at the site of the blast. The area near the stadium was searched by bomb-sniffing dogs.
The FBI tells us that there is nothing to worry about.
Of course, unless you were at the Miami game, and in the same lot as we were or the one right next to us, you would never know about the Miami explosion.
Well, I was there. and I don't believe in coincidence.

First Female Airman Casualty In The War On Terror In Iraq
Airman 1st Class Elizabeth Jacobson was providing convoy security Sept. 28 near Camp Bucca, Iraq, when the vehicle she was riding in was hit by an improvised explosive device.
"We're only on earth for a little while, so live life to the fullest and carry a smile." -- Airman 1st Class Elizabeth Jacobson
Airman Jacobson was raised in California, but lived here in South Florida before joining the Air Force. The Palm Beach Post tells us:
In Iraq, she was a security guard, surveying military perimeters from elevated guard towers. But relatives say the 21-year-old volunteered for a more risky assignment guarding convoys, a job that would ultimately kill her.On Wednesday she died outside the Iraqi city of Safwan when a bomb exploded near her convoy, making her the ninth Iraq casualty from Palm Beach County or the Treasure Coast. Her death hit hard with relatives, even as they spoke with pride about her decision to leave behind the relative safety of guard towers for perilous duty on the open Iraqi roads.
"She could have stayed there, but she was trained to do convoy duty and asked to do that," said her stepmother, Alison Jacobson. "I think it speaks to her bravery."
A fellow member of the Air Force Security Forces, Slaglerock tells us that Airman First Class Jacobson is the first female Airman casualty in the War on Terror in Iraq he has respectfully requested a link to his post and a show respect and support for the family of this brave young woman lost in combat.
My heart is with the family of this brave and honorable young woman, who gave her all in service to this country.

Wounded Warrior
Gosh but I do so love the Marines.
Marine Gunnery Sgt. Michael Burghardt signals defiance at his Iraqi attackers after being injured by an improvised explosive device near Ramadi. Attending to the Marine were Nebraska 167th Cavalry members Spc. John Adams (far left, in front) of Hastings, Neb., and Pfc. Darin Nelson of Fremont, Neb.
They don't call 'em Devil Dogs for nothing. Captain Jimmy Bones would be proud!
'Twas winter time in Quantico in nineteen-twenty-two,
The slum was pretty rough that night, and all the men felt blue;
The hail and sleet, with ghostly feet beat on the bunkhouse dome,
Some men doped out their time to do, while others thought of home.
Then from the starless night, there slipped in through the bunkhouse door,
An old top sergeant that no man had ever seen before;
The hoar frost glistened in his hair, his eyes like star shells shone,
A gnarled mustache hid half his face, and he was skin and bone.
He sat down near the glowing stove and warmed his fleshless hands,
The chill of death was in his breath, like thunder his commands;
His voice was hollow, like the tone of one who’d long been dead,
And when he spoke, the silence broke, and this is what he said:
“Pipe down, all you devil-whelps, and snap out of your dreams,
And a tale I’ll tell of heaven and hell, and the Devil-Dog Marines;
Just Captain Jimmy Bones, M.C., their skipper wrote his name,
He was a fiend for fighting, he had no care for fame.”
“Have never seen so fierce a man on land, nor sky , nor sea,
He had a scar for every war, and fought in ninety-three;
When he was riled, he had an eye that drilled a hole through men,
He spoke but once, and no man asked him how, nor why, nor when.”
“Now Jimmy was the headpiece of a hundred brave Gyrenes,
He used to have a whole lot more who died from eating beans;
But them what ate the chow and lived, they sure were hard-boiled guys,
They flicked the bullets off their coats just like so many flies.”
The old top sergeant’s voice grew low, and at its ghostly gloom,
Men shivered, and the vermin crawled upon the bunkhouse broom;
He stuffed a live coal in his pipe, and deeply did inhale,
He blew the smoke clean through the roof, and then resumed his tale.
And filled them all so full of hell it shone out through their eyes;
Then old St. Peter found the bunch, and gave them souls of white,
But hell still boiled up in them, and they couldn’t else but fight.”
“So Peter had to can old Nick, and when to earth he fell,
He got himself a steady job recruiting souls for hell;
Well, Peter stamped Marines ‘OK,’ and marked them all first class,
‘Cause all that ever scared ‘em was to see a looking-glass.”
“Now some they come from Texas sand, so they was full of grit,
And some was from Montana plains where they’d been roughing it;
Some more they come from old New York, and wore a Bowery frown,
Then some which was the toughest came from good old Frisco town.”
"Old Jimmy Bones shoved off for France in nineteen-seventeen,
And shipped across the toughest crew the world had ever seen;
Each man had ‘First to Fight,’ tattooed across his chest, in black,
And right betwixt his shoulder blades, ‘Watch out, we’re coming back!’”
“Them hundred Devil Dogs sure was a bold and daring crew,
They bit the soles right off their shoes whenever they’d want a chew;
There wasn’t one among that bunch of those U.S. Marines
Who couldn’t spit three fathoms deep, and sink three submarines.”
“And when it came to shooting guns, why, say, them men were there,
They’d shave a man a mile away, and never miss a hair;
They’d trim the eyebrows off a lark, a- soarin’ in the sky,
Or shoot the points off shooting stars, as long as they had an eye.”
“They cruised on all the seven seas and rationed on hard tack,
They fought their way around the world and half to hell and back;
They fought in every war there was, clean up to Vera Cruz,
The only things they hadn’t fought was huns, and too much booze.”
“Now Jimmie Bones reached France OK with that all-furious crew,
And everyone turned round to say, ‘No savvy parley-vous;’
The French girls grabbed them by their hands, and washed their necks with tears,
The French men slapped them on their backs, and yelled them deaf with cheers.”
"Then Jimmy made a speech, and said, ‘I hear you got a war,
Around here somewheres hereabout, and that’s what we’re here for;
But all I got to say is this. Enjoy it while you can,
I’m going to clean up Germany If I lose every man."
“The Germans learned that Jimmie Bones had crossed the sea to fight,
And when they got that awful news, their feet turned cold with fright;
And when they lamped that roughneck crew from off an aeroplane,
It nearly knocked ‘em for a goal, and some went plumb insane.”
“Said they, ‘What is this thing, Marines? If they had said before,
They had such Devil Dogs as these, there wouldn’t be no war;’
So that is how they got their name of ‘Devil Dog’ Marines,
And ever since, they’ve chased the Dutch dachshund clean off the scenes.”
The old top sergeant rolled his eyes, as if to recollect,
And where he let his fierce glance fall, it scorched six feet of deck;
Said he, “No man has ever lived that crossed old Jimmy Bones,
He had the power that lifted men, Or dragged kings down from thrones.”
"A general of the allies looked out through his periscope,
And seen ten million German huns a-coming on the lope;
He bit his short mustache and said, ‘We’re in an awful stew,
We’ve only got a million men. It looks like they’ll break through.’”
“Then, Jimmy Bones piped up and said, ‘You didn’t count Marines,
I’ve got some hell-dogs that’ll chew the spikes right off their beans;
‘Cause numbers don’t mean nothing to my well-behaving crew,
Why, they ain’t been to school enough to count the men they slew.’”
“The general said, ‘You win, my man. Go take your wild Marines,
And form a scouting party just to double up the scenes;’
Then Jimmy Bones saluted stiff, and to the general said,
‘We’ll break through to Berlin, sir, If we don’t, we’ll come back dead.’”
“With that, he yelled, ‘Outside, Marines, and snap out of your hop,
We’re going out to gather up that German lemon crop;
And if I see one of you men so much as leave a rind,
You’ll rate the brig ‘till kingdom come, and sixty dollars fine.’”
“The hundred Devil Dogs fell out, and then they all fell in,
And each one closed a gap in ranks by shaving up his chin;
The chief cook turned up missing when the time for counting come,
But he was cooking shrapnel up to make the crew some slum.”
“Then Jimmy Bones, he gave a talk, to all his men, he said,
‘We’re shipping out on heavy seas with reefs and shoals ahead;
But all I got to say is this, remember you’re Marines,
Cause water settles everything, and that’s what our name means.”
"He marched ‘em up on company front, in quick and double-time,
He marched ‘em in a riot squad and in a skirmish line;
He ran ‘em in a platoon rush, and then by single squad;
And each advance ten thousand huns stretched out and hit the sod.”
"He mowed ‘em down with Browning guns, and with their Springfield gats,
And them they couldn’t get that way they stuck with bayonets;
And when it came to trenches they just shoved the banks all in,
And tons of huns were swallowed up, and never lived again.”
“The Germans shot a bunch of bombs of dead limburger cheese,
But all it did to Jimmy’s men was make them cough and sneeze;
Then Jimmy lit a strong cigar from off a passing shell,
Three million huns got one good whiff, and died of that vile smell.”
“The hundred Devil Dogs shoved on, their eyes flashed liquid fire,
Which melted guns and cannons up just like they were lead wire;
They kicked about a million huns into the River Marne,
And if they drowned, or sunk, or swam, they didn’t give a darn.”
“The Germans thought that judgment day had come to take its tolls,
They got the jula in their knees, and trembled in their souls;
And when they saw those Devil Dogs, and heard their awful yell,
They knew their judgment day had come, and they were picked for hell.”
“So, what was left threw up their mitts, and hollered ‘kamerad,’
But Jimmy’s men thought that was Dutch for talk profaning God;
So they stuck their bayonets right through them anyhow,
And buzzards came down from the sky and ate ‘em up for chow.”
“Now Kaiser bill and Hindenburg was in a game of craps,
He staked his royal crown against a box of ginger snaps;
Old Hindy won the crown and said, ‘This ain’t no good to me,
I’d sooner have a bite to eat than all of Germany’”
“Said Kaiser Bill, ‘I’ll tell you what. You lend ten marks to me,
I’ll pay you back in a month or two with French indemnity.’
Said Hindy, ‘Where’d you get that stuff. Do you see any green on me?
I bought myself some Liberty Bonds from Mrs. Liberty.’”
“Just then the crown prince busted in and said, ‘Oh papa dear;
I see some wild men coming who will wreck this joint, I fear;
I’ll shoot a long-range shot at them, and if they still persist,
Then I’ll take about a million men and slap them on the wrist.’”
“The Kaiser took a peek out from a half-raised window blind,
And seen a hundred Devil Dogs a-swimming across the Rhine;
The river was a-running blood, From all the men they slew,
And every time they’d duck their heads, they’d drink a quart or two.”
“The Kaiser’s hair stood up on end and turned from black to white,
And when he spied old Jimmy Bones, his blood ran cold with fright;
He grabbed the prince’s hand and said, ‘Don’t fool with that wild Yank,
He’ll fill you full of bullet holes where Papa used to spank.’”
“‘What ho the guard!’ Cried Kaiser Bill. ‘There ain't no guard no more,’
Said Hindenburg, ‘The guard was shot out there by the palace door;’
‘Where is my ally Gott?’ yelled Bill. 'Von Gott, he ain’t at home,’
Said Hindenburg, ‘The Gott you had was in your crazy dome.’”
“The Kaiser’s eyes stuck out a mile. ‘What shall I do?’ said he,
‘I’ll save myself and my six brave sons. To hell with Germany;’
Said Hindenburg, ‘It went to hell long time before this thing,
Ten million huns that you sent there are waiting for their king.’”
“The outside palace door crashed in. There was a mighty roar,
‘Thank gott,” said Hindenburg, ‘I’ll see that mush of yours no more;’
With that he grabbed his gat and blew the brains out of his head,
And Kaiser Bill knowed then and there he meant just what he said.”
“The Kaiser beat it for the door and flung it open wide,
And there he met Jimmy Bones a’coming just outside;
Behind him were his Devil Dogs with gleaming bayonets,
And Kaiser Bill knowed they had come to get a whole world’s bets.”
“Then Jimmy gave him just one look that turned his gizzard pale,
And made him wish that he had spent his life in some nice jail;
Said Jimmie Bones, ‘So you’re the cur that kicked up all this row,
You’ve got about an hour to live, so don’t give us no gow!’”
“The Kaiser’s nerve went over the hill. His brow dripped bloody sweat,
He got down on his knees and cried and got the carpet wet;
His teeth, they rattled, just like dice do in a game of craps,
And every word that Jimmy spoke was like a note of taps.”
“Then Jimmy Bones drawed out his gat, and then he tossed it by,
Said, ‘you ain’t fit enough to live, and not that fit to die;
You’ve served the devil all your life, but now you’ll work for me,’
And then he thought of things to do. Jim Bones can think of three.”
“‘You’ll stand a guard of twenty hours around the Arctic zones,
With fifteen minutes out to thaw the marrow in your bones;
And every hour throughout the night you’ll answer reveille,
And every twenty years or so, you’ll rate a liberty.’”
“‘And all you’ll have to drink is German blood you’ve shed,
And when you’re hungry, you will gnaw the bones of German dead;
You’ll do a jolt in eighty-four for ten or twenty years,
And under a hard-boiled non-com you’ll shed your dying tears.’”
“Then Jimmy stopped, and silence filled the gloomy castle hall,
The Kaiser rose and tried to speak, then fell against the wall;
Said he, ‘I thought the devil was a mean and ugly guy,
But you’ve got Satan cheated with one look out of your eye.’”
“Said Jimmy Bones, ‘Now that ain’t all I’m gonna leave you do,
Them things is just light duty, but there’s heavy duty too!’
The Kaiser throwed up both his mitts. ‘You win!’ That’s all he said,
He gave a yell that was heard in hell, and then fell over dead.”
The old top sergeant paused awhile to see if some would doubt,
He sneezed a sneeze, the stoves grew cold, the window panes fell out;
He rolled himself a cigarette from sweepings off the floor,
And lit it with his flaming eye, and then resumed once more.
“Now German spies sent work to France that Jimmy Bones was dead,
And all his hundred Devil Dogs was slaughtered too, they said;
The women weeped a lot of weeps. The men felt pretty bad,
And all of them were mourning cause the shock it hit ‘em bad.”
“The cook was boiling coffee up from a piece of dried-out meat,
Said he, ‘If they is dead or not they’ll be back here to eat;
The world has never seen the time Marines have met defeat,
They would have gone to hell to cut off Kaiser Bill’s retreat.’”
“A sentry sighted Jimmy’s men a’coming over the hill,
And dragging on behind them what was left of Kaiser Bill;
And when they reached old Paris, they were met with yells and cheers,
And showers of gold enough to last ‘em all a thousand years.”
“They hung a million medals on old Jimmy and his crew,
And when they took ‘em off they had a barrel full or two;
And ever after that each lived just like a millionaire,
They never answered reveille, or heard a bugle blare.”
“And all they did was bunk fatigue from then, forever more,
And when they died, they went above and knocked on heaven’s door;
Old Peter came down to the porch and hollered, ‘Halt! Who’s there?’
“United States Marines,” said Jim. First here, and everywhere’”
"So Peter let the whole bunch in along with Captain Jim,
And each one grabbed himself a harp, and sung the Marine hymn;
And ever after that each stood his guard on heaven’s green,
And nary a German has got past the brave U.S. Marine.”
The old top sergeant heaved a sigh that raised the bunkhouse roof,
And those who sat too close to him were blown ten feet aloof;
He cut the sling from off a gun and took a three-foot chew,
And where he spat, the floor gave way, and hell came boiling through.
Then from the fiery pit there rose a corporal of the guard,
His face was sunk, his flesh was iron, his look was twice as hard;
Said he, “The detail’s still intact around the brimstone floods,
The devil’s peeling onions and the Kaiser’s peeling spuds.”
The old top kicker knit his brow, said he, “All right, that’s well!
But when you’ve finished with that job they’ll start to coal up hell;
And if them billion tons ain’t in before they shut an eye,
I’ll run ‘em up ‘fore Jimmy Bones, and let them tell him why.”
The corporal turned and leaped head on down through that fiery mass,
The floor closed up, the bunkhouse swayed with clouds of molten mass.
The top arose, the lights went out, Taps sounded, came the rain,
A chill swept through the room and he was never seen again.
A true Marine Corps classic, “Captain Jimmy Bones And His Devil-Dog Marines” originally appeared in an early forties edition of “Leatherneck Magazine."

Tancredo is my Hero!
"An Islamic advocacy group is blasting a U.S. lawmaker for his "Islamophic" comments on the design of a memorial to the 40 people who died when Flight 93 crashed in a Pennsylvania farm field on Sept. 11, 2001."
and... Just what did Tancredo say?
"The invocation of a Muslim symbol is unsuitable for paying appropriate tribute to the heroes of Flight 93 or the ensuing American struggle against radical Islam."
Damn right! The people have spoken and the design has been scrapped.
"Crescent of Embrace" my ass!

Red Crescent of Death
Suggested revision to the original design:

Honoring Islam
Four years after United Airlines Flight 93 crashed into a reclaimed strip mine near Shanksville, Somerset County, on Sept. 11, 2001, the design that will serve as the national memorial has been unveiled in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Hall of Flags.
Called the "Crescent of Embrace," the Memorial is designed to honor the Religion of Islam and features one of its primary symbols, the red crescent moon.
The red crescent moon is the symbol of The Red Crescent Society, the arm of the International Federation of The Red Cross dedicated to serving Islamic countries and the crescent moon with a star is the internationally-recognized symbol of the faith of Islam. It is featured prominently in some variation on the flags of most Islamic states.
The memorial honors the Islamic murderers rather than the those murdered in the name of Islam.
This atrocity was commissioned by the National Park Service Memorial Project under the direction of Ms Joanne Hanley.

How do you say it in muslim?
Ever wonder what the muslim word for "terrorist" is?
Three people killed in southern Thailand by suspected Muslim militants
Two Buddhist Thais and a Muslim village headman have been shot dead by masked suspected Islamic militants in the restive south, police said.
Sukit Yingsong, a 28-year-old defence volunteer, and his paralysed father Kan Yingsong, 60, were strafed with machine-gun fire at their home in Yala province late Friday, police said.
"It is clear that the perpetrators were militants because Sukit was threatened and told to abandon his house, which is surrounded by Muslim villagers," said district police commander Colonel Parnpitak Thepchudeang.
There you have it folks. Wonder no more, the muslim word for "terrorist" is obviously... "militant," something that the American mainstream media has known all along.
As long as we are defining words, let me be clear about something... there is a difference between arab and muslim. Arab means "of arabic descent." Muslim means "adherent to islam."
Okay. School is out now.

Crocodile Tears and Solidarity For Gush Katif
Last week, Mere Rhetoric reminded us not to call left-wing media star Cindy Sheehan an anti-Semite just because she's funded by a group that advocates the destruction of Israel. He reminded us to call her an anti-Semite because she believes that a dark cabal of Jews is running the US government.
Ah yes, according to Cindy, it was the Jews who got her son killed. According to Cindy, all world terrorism is because of the Jews. According to Cindy, Israel should be destroyed.
I am sorry to say that here in Miami, Cindy and her anti-semitic views found support from Democracy for America Miami-Dade.
A Solidarity Rally was held at the Torch of Friendship in Miami on August 15, 2005 to demonstrate support of the heroic Jewish pioneer families of Gush Katif – Gaza, and against Sharon's suicidal plan to expel over 10,000 Jews in the Gaza District and northern Samaria. The Rally was organized by the Alliance for Eretz Yisrael and coordinated with other rallies held worldwide.
The lunatic leftists that call themselves Democracy For America Miami-Dade ("DFAM") attempted to disrupt the Miami Solidarity Rally with a rally for the left's favorite anti-semite:
The ill-conceived plan to hijack the Solidarity Rally was hastily thrown together three days before the scheduled event. Local Alliance organizers were informed of the "impromptu" rally on Saturday and immediately notified DFAM of the conflict, only to be rebuffed, and insulted.
DFAM representatives then complained to the Miami City Police that they were being threatened by the Alliance, and insinuated that the Solidarity Rally was planned as a counter-protest to their Rally, despite the fact that the Alliance obtained a permit for the Solidarity Rally on July 29, 2005.
Emails were sent to a local Alliance organizer (and copies sent to DFAM members) which boasted of DFAM's intent to ignore the Solidarity Rally and go forward with the counter-rally to support Cindy the anti-semite despite the fact that DFAM had not obtained a permit.
DFAM's attempt to slander the organizers and disrupt the Solidary Rally failed miserably. DFAM could only muster up a few anti-semites to support Cindy and, upon arriving at the Rally location, they were shunted off to a remote corner by the City of Miami Police Department. After they cried and whined, and ranted and raved, DFAM members were permitted to wave their signs nearly a block away. Dispirited and irrelevant, they left after about an hour and before the Solidarity Rally began.
As for the Solidarity Rally, well, despite the efforts of DFAM, it was a success.

Signatures were gathered for a Special Proclamation urging Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to reconsider his plan to surrender the sacred Land of Israel into terrorist hands. On Wednesday, August 17, 2005, the Proclamation will be delivered directly to the Israeli Government by rally organizers by placing it into the hands of Consul General of Israel, Dr. Yitschak Ben Gad. Following the rally, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and all members of the Israeli government were faxed the proclamation.
Hundreds of Jews and non-Jews came from all over Florida to attend this most crucial rally held with less then 24 hours left before the plan went into effect where residents of Gush Katif are forcibly moved from their homes. Cities represented included Orlando, Ft. Meyers, Hollywood, Dearfield Beach, Boca Raton, North Miami Beach, Miami, Miami Beach, Hallendale, South Miami, Davie, Bal Harbor, Delray Beach, Pembroke Pines, Bay Harbour Island, Cape Coral, Aventura and Kendall.
Participants were led in prayer for the Medina by internationally renown Chazan Netanel Hershtik and addressed by Rabbi Hershel Becker of Young Israel in Kendal, Rabbi Yossi Denburg of Chabad Lubavitch Synagogue in Coral Springs, Shelomo Alfassa, Executive Director of the International Society for Sephardic Progress from Orlando, Heather Andron of Americans for a Safe Israel and Radio Host Joe Kaufman of the show " Politics of Terrorism" on Kol Halav.
Participants also heard updates with a recent recording from Danella Weiss who focused on the plight of Jews and heard an impassioned pleas by Rachel Saperstein, Spokesperson from Gush Katif.
Local television provided a brief coverage of the Rally, and the Miami Herald covered the Rally as well, the article can be found here. The AP provided photo coverage.

Additional rallies will be occuring around the world in major cities over the next few days. See information in the Alliance for Eretz Yisrael website www.telavivrally.com and the South Florida website: www.letmypeoplestay.org.

The Sounds of War
Ever wonder what war sounds like? Neil brings it home over at Armor Geddon.
"I never thought in a million years that I would be stuck in a minefield AND pinned down by a sniper." - Neil Prakash
Whew. That's a bad place, a very bad place.
We were vulnerable to sniper fire and enemy indirect fire being out here in the open desert with no terrain to hide behind. And that’s when the Air Force showed up. The close air support went balls to the wall like something out of We Were Soldiers.
The USAF flew in and dropped more than a few loads. Neil's description is both chilling and exhilarating, he takes us up close and personal to the sights and sounds of war. Read the rest here.
Neil's unit came through this well, thanks to G-d and the United States Air Force.
And hey, while you're over there, check out Neil's tankers video. It positively kicks ass!

The "Inner Nazi"
I'm a bit under the weather today, but I wanted to bring this to your attention:
MPACUK, Britian's leading Muslim advocacy group, celebrates 19th Century antisemitism by featuring "the beastial Jew with horns" front and center on their website. The article itself, titled "Zionists Behind Terror Attacks," featured this abomination:
The picture was later switched, but not before it was archived.
So where did MPACUK get this classic antisemitic image? From a Neo-Nazi holocaust denial site called "New Journal," known as Global Fire.tv
Hat tip to Reactionista, who has more on MPACUK's Jew-hating articles and their bait and switch policy for materials that reflect their "inner nazi" tendencies. Head on over there, please!
Scary stuff. Hard to believe that no one's paying attention.

Handmaidens of Terror?
Handmaidens of Terror?
Michelle Malkin notes, I believe with some error,
The politically correct are handmaidens of terror.
But handmaiden may be a too-mild appellation
For the worms at the core of the threat to our nation,
Who are far more concerned with our socialist purity,
Than commonsense measures for our nation’s security.
They’ll insist we don’t need anti-terrorist powers,
Till terror bombs blow down their own ivory towers.
More than mere handmaids in true servile sense,
They’re concubines of correctness in Jihadist tents,
Plying socialist sweetmeats to death-dealing masters,
Naively abetting more future disasters.
Respect our dark brothers say these houris beguiling,
No need for your paranoid, racist profiling.
Forget swarthy males from the East caused our losses,
We must share their pain, understand their root causes.
These handmaids ignore their own reasoning powers,
Like no grannies flew planes into those twin towers;
Or why we’re not shown after a terror event,
Any mug shots of men of Caucasian descent.
They insist we ignore facts as plain as their faces,
Like Islamo-fascists tend to be certain races.
No, Michelle, dear, I fear that handmaiden’s in error,
Simply too mild a term for these true whores for terror.
Russ Vaughn

This one keeps turning up...
DRUDGE: Million signatures claimed for Iraq troop pullout petition
Fri Jul 29 2005 10:08:23 ETRadicals within Iraq's Shiite majority community said Friday that they had collected one million signatures demanding the withdrawal of US-led troops.
"We obtained the Iraqi signatures demanding the withdrawal of the occupation troops as asked for by Sayyed Moqtada Sadr," said Sheikh Abdel Zahra al-Suwaidi, an aide of the Shiite radical leader.
Yawn. Sadr? Didn't we kick his ass until he surrendered? Sure we did and it was a mistake. We should have kicked his ass until he was dead.

Nothing to see here
Some of you might have heard rumors of this story on the Glenn Beck Show today. The caller talked about guns being found, although there is no mention of that in the actual article.
An anonymous tip about possible terrorist activity led police and federal agents to a Newark apartment, where they found six Egyptian nationals, camcorder videos of New York City and subway maps with extensive markings on them, officials said yesterday.
Uniformed officers responded and found six men, plus the transit maps, two videocameras and $8,000 in cash.
Immigration agents determined that three of the occupants -- Ahmed Mohamed Atta, 30; Ibrahim Mohamed Sameh Mahboub, 24, and Karim Ahmed Abd el Latif Ahmed, 21, -- had entered the country legally but overstayed their visas, said Tom Manifase, deputy special agent in charge of the Newark division of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Two others, Mohamed Ibrahim Gaber, 34 and Mahmoud Ahmed Abd el Latif Ahmed, 19, had sneaked across the borders, authorities said.
Interesting to note that the story has not been picked up by any other news organization and is only being reported in the local paper.
Remember kiddies, there is no reason to suspect terrorism here. Just because the guys are middle eastern, just because they are here illegally, just because they have done video surveillance of NY's transportation system and just because they have mapped out NY's transportation system, these are not justifiable reasons to profile these men as terrorists. To do so would be racial profiling and against the rules.
So, move along now, there's nothing to see here.

Frente Reactionista Exposes The Hizb
Thank goodness for MT Blacklist. Without it, I would have shut down the comments here a long time ago.
Because I still have comments, I found out about the all new Reactionista Blog out of the UK. Because I know about the Reactionista Blog, I now know about Hizb-ut-Tahrir.
Who is that, or who are they, what is it and why do we care?
Well, Hizb-ut-Tahrir calls itself a "global Islamic political organization" and claims to be active "throughout Europe, Central Asia, Africa, the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, Australia and the Americas."
Reality is that the Hizb is just another bunch of arab adherents to Islam (muslims), seeking global dominance and the death or slavery of everyone and anyone who is not a muslim. Terrorist wanna-bes who seek to rule the world according to the barbaric laws of Sharia.
The Hizb uses all of the tactics we have come to expect from the religion of peace, including The Art of Al-taqiyya:
July 25, 2005, Hizb ut-Tahrir Rejects Charges of Anti-Semitism:
"In response to recent media coverage related to the dismissal of Dilpazier Aslam, a former trainee journalist at The Guardian newspaper, Hizb ut-Tahrir, a non-violent Islamic political party, rejects outright allegations that it is anti-Semitic or that it has incited violence.
We deny the allegation that Hizb ut-Tahrir has encouraged the killing of Jews in Britain. History is testament to the fact that many Jews used to live with Muslims under the banner of Islam for almost thirteen centuries. Throughout those periods Jews used to have the same high standard of living as the Muslims did. They enjoyed equal rights, prosperity, happiness, tranquillity and security."
Except... Reactionista takes us back to the website... and what they really believe, what they first posted in March of 1999, and later deleted: The Muslim Ummah will never submit to the Jews.
"... all of us remember the slogan:
'No peace, no recognition and no negotiations with the Jewish state.'
And all of us know that the constitutions and canons of Arab countries consider any meeting or contact with the Israeli enemy a betrayal and a crime."
and...
Indeed the Jews have increased in their arrogance, superiority and corruption in the land: they insist on expelling more and more of the people of Palestine so that they can bring in more of the world's Jews.
and...
They are a poisoned dagger thrust into the heart of the Islamic Ummah and evil cancerous gland which spreads deep within the Islamic countries.
Complete with veiled references of political assasination of arab leaders who collabarate with the enemy (Anwar Sadat) and not so veiled reference to the fact that islam is a rival to both America and Europe, the Hizb website makes it obvious exactly what the Hizb ut-Tahrir is.

War on Terror?
This is from Andrew Sullivan... via Americans for Freedom...
These are the animals we are fighting:
1. They attack Red Cross personnel.
2. They murder people working for the UN.
3. They kidnap and kill care workers.
4. They bomb holiday-makers, in nightclubs.
5. They blow up people traveling on trains - civilians.
6. They target people on buses - civilians.
7. They take civilian hostages.
8. They decapitate them.
9. They murder trade unionists.
10. They kidnap diplomats.
11. They kill people for being... barbers.
12. They fly aircraft full of civilians into skyscrapers where people are at work.
13. They take schoolchildren hostage and murder them.
14. They bomb synagogues.
15. They kill people shopping in a market.
16. They kill people queuing at a medical clinic.
17. They murder children in Baghdad.
18. They murder people on their way to work in London.
Nice list, and of course, it fails to mention that these are the animals we are NOT fighting:
1. They attack, kidnap, bomb, and kill innocent civilians, including infants, toddlers, children, teenagers, women, and grandparents in Israel.
These animals kill innocent people in Israel while they sleep, while they eat, while they work, shop, and pray. They kill them in their homes and schools, they kill them in cars and buses, in restaurants and nightclubs. They kill them in synagogues. They use knives, guns, bombs, bomb belts, and rockets.
Not only are we NOT fighting them, but we welcome their leader into the White House, reward them with a state, harbor them within the United States of America, and give them $50 million American taxpayer dollars, which will surely be used to help them kill everyone in Israel. We kick Jews out of their homes and off their lands to make a place for these terrorists to have a terrorist state.
So. Are the people who commit these atrocities considered terrorists, and are these acts considered terrorism, everywhere and anywhere in the world, except in Israel?
It would seem so.

Get Real!
So. The evil interrogators at Guantanamo Bay subjected a suspected terrorist to abusive and degrading treatment, forcing him to wear a bra, dance with another man and behave like a dog. OMG!!
But wait... there's more:
The evil interrogators also told him his mother and sisters were prostitutes, forced him to wear a thong on his head, told him he was homosexual and said that other prisoners knew it.
Wow. Who thinks up these tortures?
After the torture session described above, you can be sure that the terrorist was then given a gourmet meal, served up by the United States Military and paid for by American taxpayers. You can be sure that the terrorist then donned his brand new prayer cap, knelt down on his brand new prayer mat, picked up his brand new koran (also paid for by American taxpayers) and that he then prayed to the Prophet of Doom for the destruction of America and the death of all Americans. You can be sure that he was then tucked safely and soundly into a nice soft bed in a nice air conditioned room, also paid for by American taxpayers, where he dreamed his favorite dream of murder and mayhem, death and destruction.
This torture is an outrage and I want it on record that I am completely and totally against treating the terrorists in Gitmo in such a manner and further, I am ashamed that we would treat terrorists in such a manner.
And that's all I have to say about that.

We're Not Afraid
Show the world we are not afraid of what happened in London, and that the world is a better place without fear.

The pictures are being submitted from all over the world. I could not believe how many of those took potshots at President Bush, as if the attack is his fault.
Another attempt to bring unity and solidarity against evil that is being ruined by liberals. Oh well.

It's Time
It’s Time
Black minds spew black hate and destruction,
and innocence pays the price so damning high.
While most politicians hesitate to take action,
as a total whole, so many will have to die.
Those who would live, must know who to trust,
for those who would kill, hide in plain sight.
If we would not want this culture to crash and rust,
we must no longer wait in hopes all will be all right.
There’s no room to err, costing an innocent life in strife,
for those who hunt us now, must come to know fear of us.
We must be their own terror, their nightmare’s raised knife,
and we must haunt them, endlessly hunting them to excess.
All countries that would be truly free, must unite,
hunters all, allies in the war to free all from Jihad.
A single goal to win over their coming evil night,
and teach them to truly fear our long reaching rod!
They set their hate lose on us in hopes of our fear,
so we must show them our total strength, our unity.
Together, the free must hunt evil both far and near,
until their malice is removed, wherever they might be.
Free is not without costs, and that price we must pay,
if we would be free from their sort of evil wrath.
Time comes when decisions will change the world in a day,
and either freedom, or slavery and death our only path.

The Hypocrisy of The War on Terror
"Any government that supports, protects or harbors terrorists is complicit in the murder of the innocent and equally guilty of terrorist crimes." - George W. Bush
Sadly, according to our President, today all of America is guilty of terrorist crimes. Yes, directly because of the actions of our leader, we are indeed all terrorists.
"Our war on terror begins with al-Qaida, but it does not end there. It will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped, and defeated." - George W. Bush
It seems that there is an exemption for certain terrorist groups, and certainly Palestinian terrorist groups. After welcoming terrorist Abu Mazen to the White House earlier this year, President George W. Bush has again authorized the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) to continue its activities here in the United States. President Bush has done this despite the fact that the PLO continues to refuse to conform to US legal requirements with regard to giving up terror. (Guysen.Israël.News)
The PLO is composed of various guerrilla groups and political factions, dominated by Al Fatah, the terror group led by Arafat from 1969 to 2004. Other groups in the PLO include the Syrian-backed As Saiqa and the Marxist-oriented Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
The PLO supports, protects and harbors terrorists, as well as plans, sponsors, and commits terrorist acts. It is complicit in the murder the innocent, and it is certainly directly responsible for the murder of the innocent.
The PLO's first act of terrorism was a failure. On January 01, 1965 PLO terrorists attempted to bomb the National Water Carrier. Other PLO acts of terrorism were successful:
- Jun 17, 1969 - Shirley Louise Anderson, a 25 year -old tourist from Rochester, New York, was killed when PLO shelled the Israeli resort town of Kallia
- Dec 27, 1969 - Leon Holz, 48, a tourist from Brooklyn, New York was killed when PLO terrorists fired shots at a tourist bus near Hebron
- Feb 21, 1970 - Barbara Ertle, of Grandville, Michigan, wife of Reverend Theodore Ertl, was killed during a PLO terrorist shooting attack on a busload of pilgrims in the village of Halhoul, near Hebron
- Mar 05, 1974 - Eight PLO terrorists reached Tel Aviv by sea and took over a hotel killing 3 Israeli soldiers.
- Apr 11, 1974 - PLO terrorists attacked Kiryat Shmona, killing 8 children, 8 adults, and 2 soldiers.
- May 15, 1974 - PLO terrorists invaded a school in Ma'a lot, killing 21 pupils and 3 adults.
- Nov 19, 1974 - PLO terrorists infiltrate into the town of Bet She'an, killing 4 residents and wounding 20 others.
- Nov 20, 1974 - PLO terrorists infiltrated from Syria into the Ramat Magshimim settlement, killing 3 students and wounding 2.
- Nov 21, 1975 - Michael Nadler, an American-Israeli student from Miami Beach, Florida, was killed when axe-wielding terrorists from the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a PLO faction, attacked students at in the Israeli town of Ramat Hamagshimim.
- Dec 08, 1977 - PLO terrorists launched a Katushya rocket at Nahariya, killing one woman.
- Mar 11, 1978 - PLO terrorists seized a bus on the coastal road, killing 35 men, women, and children.
- Mar 11, 1978 - Gail Rubin, niece of U.S Senator Abraham Ribicoff, was shot to death by PLO terrorists on the Tel-Aviv beachfront.
- Mar 17, 1978 - PLO terrorists launched Katushyas on the Western Galilee, killing 2 and wounding 2.
- Jun 02, 1978 - A PLO terrorist bomb blows up in a bus in Jerusalem killing 6 people and wounding 19.
- Dec 21, 1978 - PLO terrorists launched a katushya rocket, which killed 1 and wounded 10 in Kiryat Shmona.
- Apr 07, 1980 - PLO terrorists attacked Kibbutz Misgav Am at the norther border, killing 3 Israelis and wounding 16.
- May 02, 1980 - PLO terrorists attacked worshipers walking home from synagouge in Hebron. Eli Haze'ev, an American-Israeli from Alexandria, Virginia, was one of those killed.
- Jan 08, 1983 - PLO terrorists wound 11 after throwing a hand grenade at a bus.
- Jul 01, 1983 - Aharon Gross, age 19, an American-Israeli from New York, was stabbed to death by PLO terrorists in the Hebron marketplace.
- Dec 06, 1983 - PLO terrorists attacked a bus in Jerusalem, killing 6 Israeli citizens and wounding 50.
- Apr 12, 1984 - PLO terrorists hijacked bus #300, killing one Israeli. Two terrorists are captured alive and later beaten to death by General Security Service agents.
- Nov 25, 1987 - A PLO terrorist infiltrated from Jordan on a hang glider. He entered an Israeli army base, and killed 6 soldiers.
- Mar 07, 1988 - PLO terrorists infiltrated from Egypt, killing 3 nuclear reactor workers riding a bus.
- Jul 02, 2001 - Two separate bombs exploded at about 8:20 Monday morning in cars in the Tel-Aviv suburb of Yehud. Six pedestrians were lightly injured. Police sources say the bombs were probably set by terrorists. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a radical PLO faction, claimed responsibility
- Aug 25, 2001 - Maj. Gil Oz, 30, of Kfar Sava; St.-Sgt. Kobi Nir, 21, of Kfar Sava; and Sgt. Tzahi Grabli, 19 of Holon were killed and seven soldiers wounded when two Palestinian terrorists infiltrated an IDF base in Gush Katif in the Gaza Strip at about 3:00 AM Saturday morning. The attackers, members of the PLO Fatah faction and of the Palestinian terrorist security forces, were killed by IDF soldiers.
"We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them." - George W. Bush
According to London's Metropolitan Police Commissioner Ian Blair, the death toll from the recent terrorist acts in London now tops 50 innocent people, but the number of deaths is not expected to reach 100. The PLO terrorist attacks listed above took the lives of over 120 innocent people, at least one third of which were children.
"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." - George W. Bush
There can be no doubt that, by welcoming the PLO in our country and allowing them to continue their terrorist activities on American soil, we the People of The United States of America are guilty of harboring terrorists responsible for the murder of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of innocents. According to our President, we are a "hostile regime."
"When I take action, I'm not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It's going to be decisive." - George W. Bush
Indeed, and this year, George W. Bush took decisive action by promising financial support to these terrorists in the amount of $50 million dollars, courtesy of American taxpayers.
We the People of the United States of America are on this very day, supporting terrorists with our tax dollars.
We are on the path to the future — and we are not turning back." - George W. Bush
And what will our future be? It seems the answer to that question is here, for as Israel suffers, so shall the world.

In The Aftermath of London
It’s Time for an Accounting!
© Johnn "Trike" Schroeder
With the echoes of the blasts in London still fading, an old question comes to mind.
"When are the Muslims going to speak up and either defend terrorism, or take back their religion and help us hunt these animals down?"
I know the ‘moderate’ Muslims are afraid of the terrorists, but by keeping silent, they do two things, and both are bad for the Muslim community as a whole.
Number one, by their silence, they look as if they support the acts committed in the name of their ‘peaceful’ religion. This unspoken support, engenders in most Americans, a doubt and a lack of trust in local Muslims, and is beginning to become the image a lot of Americans are beginning to believe is true! With no evidence to the contrary, such an image can become ‘accepted fact’, and it will color all relations with local Muslim groups from here on out.
Number two, if the Muslim community as a whole does not stand up and separate themselves from the terrorists actions in the name of their faith, then they are cowards! Afraid to fight, to take their religion back, from those who have used it to break so many important laws of Islam, then they are NOT Muslims in reality, but only Muslim ‘Lites’! They are less then real Muslims, for they have no courage even to defend their religion. If this is so, then we need not honor that which they do not honor among themselves. We need not be ‘sensitive’, practice ‘diversity’, or have any trust in their ‘religion of peace’. In fact, why do we need to have respect for them, if they themselves have so little for themselves?
Those on the left demand ‘we’ be sensitive, and have faith in our local Muslims, but under the current unrest, how are we know they are really our friends? Could they but be a sleeper cell under cover, as we exist together, waiting only to strike at us one day? Another attack here, and detention camps may be the least of the things they might endure in the midst of our collective doubt and fear. The Muslim community is so self-contained and shut off from the rest of us, that we have good reasons to doubt they are here as real Americans. Perhaps their just here to make money, and have no respect or commitment to America at all. In these uncertain times, a little trust is needed to make for a more solid and honest relationship. If the Muslims in America don’t begin to act as Americans, then they have no rights to demand to be treated as Americans, (and not suspected Muslim sleepers!) We have the right to doubt those who pay lip service to their religion, and seem to have no energy left to support their new country, or publicly decry the vicious acts committed under the name of their religion.
The world is beginning to doubt the Muslims in their midst, and that will only lead to real problems. Either Muslims are peaceful, and will speak out to defend their religion from these animals, finding the courage to stand up to them along side of us, or we will have to begin to assume their actually in support of the fundamentalists. It is damn well time the Muslim-‘Americans’ show us they are actually Americans, and no longer potential factors to doubt. War doesn't allow for possible enemies in our midst unchallenged and unknown.

Washington D.C.
Its a quagmire I tell ya!
If you consider that there have been an average of 160,000 troops in theater in Iraq during the last 22 months, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000.
The rate in DC is 80.6 per 100,000. That means that you are more likely to be shot and killed in our Nation's Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.
Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington.

The latest moronic Left-Wing smear attack
What could possibly be worse than having your hands, and/or feet chopped off, your wife and children raped to death before your eyes, being dipped feet first into a vat of acid, being dragged through the streets behind a car, being shot, stabbed, whipped with chains, tied to a tree and beaten with a stick, electocuted, or, a combination of the above and then being killed and dumped into a mass grave?
How about...
- receiving three nutritious halal meals (culturally-appropriate and in accordance with Islamic dietary law) per day, including all optional condiments.
- receiving Muslim feast meals at special times in accordance with Muslim feasts and holy periods during the year.
- receiving unrestricted access to Muslim Imams and religious instruction.
- receiving a Quibla, a large green and white sign in his cell which points toward Mecca.
- hearing Islamic loudspeaker calls to prayer five times daily.
- receiving a brand new Muslim prayer cap.
- receiving a brand new prayer rug.
- receiving brand new Islamic prayer beads. Each illegal enemy combatant detainee received Islamic holy oil.
Sounds awful, don't it? Yes, at Guantanamo Bay, each terrorist detainee receives all of that, and at US taxpayer expense! Never mind that this is far, far in excess of requirements delineated by Geneva Convention Cat. III protocols on the treatment of Prisoners of War. source.
Oh the horror! Just think, the food served to the terrorist detainees and terrorist suspects held at Gitmo is far better in many cases than the food being served to our troops in the Armed Services.
That's right! Congressional decree prevents the military from serving MRE’s (Meals Ready to Eat – vacuum packed sealed food bags served to U.S. troops) to detainees because it would be considered "abuse."
Instead, in the past week the anti-American terrorists and terrorist suspects held at Gitmo have been tortured with:
*Orange Glazed Chicken
*Rice Pilaf
*Steamed Peas & Mushrooms
*Fruit Roupee
As noted above, the terrorist detainees are provided prayer mats and prayer oils and are allowed to pray five times per day – something that even U.S. schoolchildren are forbidden from doing.
Sigh. With such atrocities occurring each and every day at Gitmo, of course we can expect outrage and of course, we get it from our enemies.
Yes, we have come to 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 said he was forced to eat pork and drink alcohol. He says a US Soldier pissed on him. Aw jeepers. Now you're making me cry. 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.
Yes, we have come to expect this kind of crap from our enemies:
'The torture that was so bad under Saddam, is equally bad under U.S. command.'--Markos Moulitsas, on DailyKos yesterday.
Markos, you are an asshole and the graphic images posted at the Jawa Report more than prove that simple fact.
It is good to know who our enemies are.

Marriage Islam Style
Bride gang-raped after wedding
In Pakistan's tribal and rural Punjab, women are married without their consent in compensation for the crime committed by their male family members to settle the dispute under "Swara" and "Vani" customs.
Kaneez Kubra was married to Mujahid Hussain last month on the directives of Panchayat (local jury) after it found her brother guilty of having illicit relations with Mujahid's sister.
Immediately after the wedding, the bride was gang-raped by her groom's friends with her in-laws' consent in the southern part of Pakistan's Punjab province, a news report said on Monday.
The daily Times said Mujahid Hussain and his family allowed the bride, Kaneez Kubra, to be dishonoured in revenge for her brother's crime of having sexual relations with their daughter.
The bride's father, Ghulam Hussain, said four persons sexually assaulted his daughter in front of his son-in-law in his house in Punjab.
But her ordeal did not end there. Ghulam Hussain said on the following day she was taken to the residence of another friend and assaulted again.
I am sure Kaneez's brother learned his lesson. Sure, that'll teach him.
Of course, now that Kaneez Kubra has been raped and "dishonored" she will surely be killed by her own family, its the only way to restore the family's honor.

America's Tax Dollars
Gulag? Yeah. Right. A few little somethings Amnesty International forgot to mention...
The reporting by the main-stream media about what might or might not have occurred at Guantanamo has obscured the honest-to-God truth about the American way and that we practice what we preach, specifically as it relates to our constitutional guarantee of Freedom of Religion.
Not one of these illegal enemy combatant detainee's who came from Afghanistan had a Qur'an in his possession when captured.
A brand new Qur'an in the specific, native language of each individual was provided to each "enemy combatant".
Furthermore:
Each illegal enemy combatant detained at Guantanamo is given three nutritious halal meals (culturally-appropriate and in accordance with Islamic dietary law) per day. The meals include all optional condiments.
Each illegal enemy combatant detainee receives Muslim feast meals at special times in accordance with Muslim feasts and holy periods during the year.
Each illegal enemy combatant detainee has unrestricted access to Muslim Imams and religious instruction.
Each illegal enemy combatant detainee has a Quibla, a large green and white sign in his cell which points toward Mecca.
Each illegal enemy combatant detainee hears Islamic loudspeaker calls to prayer five times daily.
Each illegal enemy combatant detainee received a brand new Muslim prayer cap.
Each illegal enemy combatant detainee received a brand new prayer rug.
Each illegal enemy combatant detainee received brand new Islamic prayer beads. Each illegal enemy combatant detainee received Islamic holy oil.
Each illegal enemy combatant had ALL of this done and paid for him at US taxpayer expense and this is far, far in excess of requirements delineated by Geneva Convention Cat. III protocols on the treatment of Prisoners of War. Why is none of this information coming forth from the mainstream media?
America is overwhelmingly a Christian nation, and there has been not one word of taxpayer protest concerning the above facts, which are in essence a glaring omission of the first order by the hate-America first mass media of this country and the world at large.

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi Dead?
So, the Adnkronos International is reporting that a Fallujah Sheik by the name of Ammar Abdel Rahim Nasir has told the Saudi on-line newspaper Al-Medina that terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi died last Friday and is buried in Fallujah.
But we won't see this in the mainstream media:
Baghdad, 2 June (AKI) - The Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi - al-Qaeda's leader in Iraq - died on Friday and his body is in Fallujah's cemetary, an Iraqi Sunni sheikh, Ammar Abdel Rahim Nasir, has told the Saudi on-line newspaper Al-Medina. He claims that gunfights which broke out in Fallujah in the last few days involved militants trying to protect the insurgency leader's tomb from a group of American soldiers patrolling the area.
During a telephone conversation from the city of Fallujah with the Saudi newspaper, Nasir said al-Zarqawi was taken there after being injured in the city of Ramadi around three weeks ago, and may have been treated by two doctors who had worked with his aides in Baghdad. He said the two doctors had stopped a serious haemorrhage in al-Zarqawi's intestines, but that after his condition worsened last week, the militant died on Friday.
Nasir adds that in his will the insurgent leader left the order that no funeral should be held for him and the right to announce his death should be left to the al-Qaeda leadership in Afghanistan and Osama bin Laden.
The Al-Medina newspaper reports that it also called the headmaster of a school in Fallujah, who preferred to remain anonymous, but confirmed that many people in the city were aware of the fact that al-Zarqawi had recently been taken to the city.
Sheikh Nasir's claims appear to correspond with reports several weeks ago that al-Zarqawi had been injured and taken to Ramadi hospital for emergency treatment, and with messages on the Internet talking of two Arab doctors accompanying him. Al-Zarqawi was reported to have been seen at the hospital on April 27. The hospital's director told an Iraq-based newspaper that US troops later surrounded and raided the entire building, searching for the Jordanian militant.
Only two days ago, an audio message attributed to al-Zarqawi was posted on the Internet, in which he assured his followers that he had only been lightly injured. Following the message, the US defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld warned countries neighbouring Iraq not to give any medical assistance to al-Zarqawi. "Our current theory is that he is in Iraq," he said. "Were a neighbouring country to take him in and provide medical assistance or haven for him, they obviously would be associating themselves with a major linkage in the al-Qaeda network, and a person who has a great deal of blood on his hands," Rumsfeld continued. "And that's something that people would want to take note of."
Yes? No? We may never know the truth.
But then again, according to admitted liar, Seymour Hersh, Zarqawi doesn't even exist.
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi may be a “composite figure” and a propaganda creation of either Iraq’s Baathist insurgency or the U.S. government.
Jeepers. Someone should tell that to Nick Berg. And King Abdullah.

Nothing to Party About
So. The United Nations is planning its 60th Anniversary Party a little early. Perhaps they're afraid they won't make it until October 24, 2005. It seems that they're worried about who will attend the San Francisco gala event, and with good cause.
Sure would be nice if the President of United States backed up his comments on the United Nations by declining to attend any celebration of its existence, but I ain't holding my breath.
It was on October 24, 1945 that the United Nations came into existence as an instrument of peace with a vision to make the world a better place for succeeding generations - a world where nations are at peace with one another, where people's human rights are protected, where the equal rights of men and women are guaranteed, where the rule of law is observed and respected, and social progress and better standards of life are ensured for all.
Sadly, the United Nations has not only failed miserably, but has become a protector of terrorists and a supporter of the regimes which breed them.
When the President of the United States spoke to the United Nations in October of 2004, he spoke of the need for change and called for a new course of action against the threat of terrorism, to stop the killing of school children in Russia, the beheading of construction workers in Iraq, the murder by suicide bombers. He spoke of how, rather than engineers, doctors, scientists and social workers, the Muslim world has become the world's largest exporter of hatred and murder. He spoke of how Muslim equality for women has emerged under the guise of female suicide bombers. He spoke of the consequences of terrorism that have been perpetuated by the Muslim world for over a decade in New York, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Kenya, Tanzania, and Bali, Jakarta, Moscow, Madrid and Istanbul.
The President urged action against terrorism, admitting that "for too long, many nations, including my own, tolerated, even excused, oppression in the Middle East in the name of stability." He promised to implement the radical changes that would lead to freedom, to take the fight to the enemy instead of waiting for them to come to us. He acknowledged that it would not be easy and he urged the world to unite in the effort.
What effect could such powerful words have when most of those oppressors, most of those violators of human rights and decency, most of those dictators that our President was referring to in his speech sat before him as members in good standing of the United Nations?
Sitting on UN Commission on Human Rights are some of the world's worst mass murderers and violators of the very human rights they are supposed to protect, including Cameroon, China, Congo (DRC), Cuba, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Uganda, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe. The Chairman of the Commission is one of the worst human rights offenders, Libya. These are the very same human rights violators that the Commission is supposed to investigate and expose.
No wonder, then, that the UN has failed to even criticize China's human rights violations, failed to even discuss slave labor when the former Soviet Union existed, failed to even consider the sale of white women and children in Saudi Arabia, failed to investigate the denial of the most basic human rights to women in Asia and Arab countries, and failed to examine the slave trade in Arab countries.
In 2004, the Commission has voted against "special observation" of Zimbabwe's violations of human rights; and for the upgrading of the human rights status of Sudan, even while its dictatorship is committing genocide against its southern black Christians, carrying on slavery, and approving of systematic rape.
Consider the actions of Commission member Cuba. Castro had thrown into prison seventy-five dissidents, including journalists and librarians; and it had executed three men who hijacked a ferryboat to escape from this communist hellhole. No matter. The Commission reelected Cuba to another three-year term, "undoubtedly a recognition of the Cuban Revolution's work in human rights in favor of all our people," so Cuba proclaimed.
Ever careful to protect itself and its member dictatorships, the UN went so far as to terminate its relationship with the free speech organization Reporters Without Borders after it criticized the UN's human rights record. Reporters Without Borders had the audacity to suggest reforms that included the restricting of voting by dictatorships and claimed "that granting the chair to Qadhafi's [Libyan] regime has been a disgrace to the commission." The Commission voted 27 to 23 to suspend its relationship with the organization. All of the democratic members voted against it.
As Victor Davis Hanson said in the Wall Street Journal, "It is not the same United Nations of decades past, helping the poor nations with hunger, and sending troops around the world to keep the peace. Gone are the days when UNESCO and UNICEF provided selfless service around the world to fight disease and famine. Now it is a political body with a different agenda. Its membership is rife with tyrannies, theocracies and Stalinist regimes."
Immediately prior to the President's October 2004 speech, Kofi Anan declared the Iraq War illegal to a BBC reporter. No surprise, considering that at the time of Iraq's blatant defiance of the United Nations resolutions on its weapons of mass destruction, one of Saddam Hussein's henchmen chaired the May sessions of the UN Conference. No surprise considering Kofi Anan's participation the Oil for Food scandal currently under investigation. No surprise considering the UN was silent while Saddam Hussein starved, tortured, maimed and murdered his own people.
Indeed, the UN was silent while Slobodan Milosevic methodically practiced ethnic cleansing in his country. The UN was silent while the Taliban systematically murdered their own people, repressed all human rights, and enslaved women. The UN was silent while in Rwanda and Burundi, half a million lives were lost in civil war.
The UN was silent while 800,000 people were murdered in 1994 during a systematic genocide organized by the Hutu government, and carried out against the Tutsi minority by its troops, police, and specially trained death squads. In 1999, an independent report condemned the UN's reluctance to accept evidence of a genocide, and reluctance to act once the genocide was undeniable.
The UN was silent while in North Korea hundreds of thousands have been murdered in the last decade, and possibly three million have been starved to death in a government created famine.
The UN was silent while 8,000 Muslim men and boys were murdered in Srebrenica, Bosnia, during the Bosnian war of 1995. Another UN commissioned report on this asserted that the UN peacekeepers stood by while Serb troops massacred those to whom the UN had promised protection. The UN had refused to reinforce their peacekeepers with enough troops, and even then severely restricted the action of those that were there.
The UN was silent while over three million were killed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo with UN peacekeepers standing by and watching.
And the UN remains silent through the genocide in Sudan.
By its own admission in the Report of the Panel on UN Peace Operation, the UN recognized that its peacekeeping efforts have failed. It undertook peacekeeping in only a third of the conflicts during the 1990s, and when the UN did do something, it failed or was not effective.
The United Nations is still "investigating" about 150 allegations of sexual abuse by its staff and soldiers in the Congo. The charges include accusations of pedophilia, rape and prostitution, some of which have been recorded on videotape.
"I am afraid there is clear evidence that acts of gross misconduct have taken place," said Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
Although it promises a full investigation and to hold those involved accountable, the fact is that the UN has never been open or honest and has been known to ignore evidence in the past – including accusations of rape and murder by "peacekeepers."
And yet, the UN raises its voice, loud and clear, in consistent and constant condemnation of Israel. In the last few decades, more than half of the UN resolutions passed were against Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East. Israel scores as high as the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom on political rights. On civil liberties, Israel scores much higher than the dictatorship members of the UN. Yet Israel remains only UN member excluded from participation in every UN committee, having been rejected for membership on the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, UN Human Rights Committee, UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women, UN Racial Discrimination Committee.
Consider the dictatorships of Algeria, China, Libya, Saudi Arabia, and Syria, all of whom are members of the UN Commission on Human Rights. The dictatorship of Egypt is a member of all six UN committees concerned with human rights treaties. The dictatorships of Libya, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan participate on the Governing Council of the International Labor Organization. The bloody dictatorship of Iran is on the five-member UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention.
Dictatorships who treat women as second class citizens or slaves like Egypt, Iran, Sudan and the United Arab Emirates are all members of the UN Commission on the Status of Women.
"So Americans' once gushy support for the U.N. during its adolescence is gone. By the 1970s we accepted at best that it had devolved into a neutral organization in its approach to the West, and by the 1980s sighed that it was now unabashedly hostile to freedom. But in our odyssey from encouragement, to skepticism, and then to hostility, we have now reached the final stage--of indifference. Americans do not get riled easily, so the U.N. will go out with a whimper rather than a bang. Indeed, millions have already shrugged, tuned out, and turned the channel on it." - Victor Davis Hanson
Happy Birthday United Nations, may this one be your last.

Woe Unto Thee America
Today, the United States of America welcomes a terrorist to the White House. Our President, George W. Bush, will sell out this Country, Israel, and G-d, in a deal with the devil.
"This plan will lead to Israel standing against waves and waves of terrorists, drunk with the victory of our withdrawal. This is perhaps the first, and most important strategic victory for terrorism, and the gaining of land for a terror state.
And against who will they achieve this victory? Against the country which raised the first banner in the war against terrorism. And this country is now teaching the world what surrender is." -- NRP Chairman Efit Eitam
Abu Mazen, Arafat, Saddam Hussein, the Taliban, and the entire cult of Islam has been killing the innocent since time out of mind, nothing new here.
Nothing less than the death or enslavement of every single American will ever satisfy Islamists. This is not new and has nothing to do with Israel, which is considered by Islam to be the "Little Satan" that must be destroyed before they can destroy the "Big Satan" that is America.
"... the march of resistance will continue until the islamic flag is raised not only over the minarets of Jerusalem but over the whole universe... "
Hamas Leader Mahmoud Zahar, January 16, 2004
Today, President George W. Bush will welcome a monster to America.
Woe unto thee, America, for you have no idea what the consequences of these actions will mean in the future, for what is happening in Israel 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.
Woe unto thee, America, for if your actions today bear fruit tomorrow, it is your children who will suffer. As they suffer, surely they will curse your name and your memory. They will curse you and those like you who bowed their head and looked the other way, who supported and nurtured the beast. Indeed, for if the islamic agenda is successful, it will have been because of the actions of you and those like you that in end, sentenced them to suffer under the very same monster President Bush welcomes today.
Today, I am shamed before G-d.
"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
As Israel suffers, so shall the world. It has begun.

Shoot that piece of shit!
A military jury sentenced a soldier to death Thursday for a grenade and rifle attack on his own comrades during the opening days of the Iraq invasion, a barrage that killed two officers and that prosecutors said was driven by religious extremism.
"He is a hate-filled, ideologically driven murderer," chief prosecutor Lt. Col. Michael Mulligan said. He added that Akbar wrote in his diary in 1997, "My life will not be complete unless America is destroyed."
Well, your life may not be complete Akbar, but on a happy note, your life will soon be over.
See ya! Wouldn't wanna be ya!
(Thanks for the tip Eric!)
If anyone ever deserved a one way ticket straight to hell courtesy of the Red, White and Blue, it's this bastard. Anything less is an insult to the memory of the brave and honorable men whose lives he destroyed. And of course, we must consider the families of the brave and honorable men Akbar killed. They deserve justice.
"Hasan Akbar has robbed me of so many things," Tammie Eslinger, Maj. Gregory Stone's fiancee, said after the sentencing. "He stole my love, my family, my dreams and my future. But he could never steal my spirit."
Seifert's widow, Theresa, said she was satisfied with the military justice system. She called Akbar "a non-entity to me."
We got through the trial, and the sentencing. Now, we can begin to hope that the sentence will be confirmed and carried out. Yes, hopefully, Akbar will soon be a very dead non-entity.

Unsworn Testimony
I wonder if someone, anyone, would be kind enough to explain to me what place "unsworn testimony" has in a legal court proceeding?
Why should Hasan Akbar be permitted to address the jury, without having to do so under oath? Why should the jury consider such a statement? I am not the least bit interested in anything this piece of shit has to say, I have heard enough from him and those like him.
Allowing Akbar to address the jury in such a manner turns the proceeding into a farce.
Consider the facts:
FACT: Hasan Akbar is charged with two counts of first-degree murder and three counts of attempted first-degree murder for the deaths of two officers and wounding of 14 others in the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) at the start of the Iraq war.
FACT: 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."
FACT: Akbar intended to kill officers in his brigade's leadership, including the brigade commander.
FACT: Before launching the attack, Akbar turned off a generator that plunged the outside area of the officers' camp into darkness.
FACT: Akbar then threw an incendiary grenade into the brigade commander's tent, knowing it would make the three men inside stand up and be vulnerable to shrapnel from a fragmentation grenade.
FACT: At the next tent, occupied by majors, Akbar yelled "We're under attack" so the soldiers inside would stand up, making them better shrapnel targets as well.
FACT: Akbar repeated the procedure at a tent occupied by captains and lieutenants, and waited outside for a target he could hit with rifle fire.
FACT: Akbar planned to do murder, as evidenced by his own words in his diary, and there was a sustained period of contemplation in connection with the murders.
FACT: Akbar is guilty of high treason and murder in the first degree.
FACT: Akbar murdered Army Capt. Christopher Seifert.
FACT: Akbar murdered Air Force Maj. Gregory Stone.
FACT: Akbar attempted to murder at least 14 additional soldiers, all of whom were injured in the attack.
FACT: Akbar has been convicted by a military jury of premeditated murder and attempted murder.
Enough! I wish you Godspeed Jurors, may you come to a swift, just decision and impose the maximum penalty allowable:

How did the enemy get into our camp?
That's what Bart Womack, a command sergeant major of the elite 101st Airborne Division, asked himself as a grenade rolled past him after 1 a.m. on Sunday at an American camp in Kuwait.
The attacker worked methodically, destroying an electricity generator, throwing grenades into Womack's tent and the two other command tents, then shooting tents.
The U.S. government's initial response to this attack reflected the usual view that violence by American Muslims is not to be considered to be motivated by terrorism. Consider the sugar-coated explanations for previous incidents:
"A prescription drug for or consistent with depression" to explain why El Sayyid A. Nosair in 1990 shot Rabbi Meir Kahane.
"Road rage" to explain why Rashid Baz in 1994 shot a Hassidic boy on the Brooklyn Bridge.
"Many, many enemies in his mind" to explain why Ali Hasan Abu Kamal in 1997 shot a tourist on the Empire State Building's observation deck.
"A work dispute" as why Hesham Mohamed Ali Hadayet in 2002 shot two people at the El Al counter of Los Angeles International Airport.
And then there is the case of Gamal Abdel-Hafiz, an FBI agent whose colleagues say he twice refused to record conversations with suspected financiers of militant Islamic terrorism ("A Muslim does not record another Muslim").
When it comes to Akbar, U.S. Army spokespersons talk about an "attitude problem," a desire for "retribution" and "resentment." Without any evidence whatsoever, the chief chaplain at Akbar's Fort Campbell, Ky., home base claimed that the incident is "not an expression of faith."
Ignoring the fact that these attacks fit a sustained pattern of political violence by American Muslims amounts to willful self-deception.
The Los Angeles Times quoted Akbar after he was apprehended, "You guys are coming into our countries, and you're going to rape our women and kill our children."
When will America acknowledge what is staring us in the face?
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, was shot in the back, and Air Force Maj. Gregory Stone, 40, suffered 83 shrapnel wounds. Another 14 soldiers were injured.
There can be no doubt that Akbar planned to do murder, that there was a sustained period of contemplation in connection with the murder.
Premiditated: : characterized by fully conscious willful intent and a measure of forethought and planning, i.e. premeditated murder.
Akbar's own words in his personal diary are an admission of guilt and he cannot be proven innocent of high treason, and, murder in the first degree. The trial is a charade of justice and a waste of time.
There can be only one response:
Anything less is an insult to the memory of those brave and honorable men and women of the United States Military.
I support the Defenders of Freedom.
I support our Troops.

Dear Peace-nik
Marc Fencil wrote a letter to his fellow students over at OU. It makes darn good reading and is yet another reason to be darn proud of those serving in the United States Military.
It's a shame that I'm here in Iraq with the Marines right now and not back at Ohio University completing my senior year and joining in blissful ignorance with the enlightened, war-seasoned protesters who participated in the recent "die-in" at College Gate.
Make sure you all say your goodbyes to your loved ones though, because you won't be seeing them for at least the next nine months. You need to get here quick because I don't want you to miss a thing. You missed last month's discovery of a basement full of suicide vests from the former regime (I'm sure Saddam's henchmen just wore them because they were trendy though). You weren't here for the opening of a brand new school we built either. You might also notice women exercising their new freedom of walking to the market unaccompanied by their husbands.
There is a man here, we just call him al-Zarqawi, but we think he'd be delighted to sit down and give you some advice on how you can further disrespect the victims of Sept. 11 and the 1,600 of America's bravest who have laid down their lives for a safer world. Of course he'll still call you "infidel" but since you already agree that there is no real evil in the world, I see no reason for you to be afraid. Besides, didn't you say that radical Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance?
I'm warning you though -it's not going to be all fun and games over here. You might have bad dreams for the next several nights after you zip up the body bag over a friend's disfigured face. I know you think that nothing, even a world free of terror for one's children, is worth dying for, but bear with me here. We're going to live in conditions you've never dreamt about. You should get here soon though, because the temperatures are going to be over 130 degrees very soon and we will be carrying full combat loads (we're still going to work though). When it's all over, I promise you can go back to your coffee houses and preach about social justice and peace while you continue to live outside of reality.
If you decide to decline my offer, then at least you should sleep well tonight knowing that men wearing black facemasks and carrying AK-47s yelling "Allahu Akbar" over here are proud of you and are forever indebted to you for advancing their cause of terror. While you ponder this, I'll get back to the real "die-in" over here. I don't mind.
If you want to give Marc an "attaboy", you can e-mail him at : marc.fencil@ohiou.edu.
Be warned though, if you use that address to slander Marc or his compatriots, expect a visit from the one and only Delftsman.

The Sleepy Terrorist
Hasan Akbar tried to escape. Good news is... he didn't succeed. Bad news is... he survived the attempt.
"During the incident, Akbar attempted to overpower one of his MP guards. The MPs quickly regained control of Akbar." Rumor has it that Akbar's jaw had to be wired shut.
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. He could get the death penalty if convicted.
One can only hope.
Akbar's lawyers plan to use an insanity or diminished capacity defense in his trial. It seems that Akbar is having trouble staying awake at the hearings and the lawyers say he has sleep apnea. Seems to me this problem could be solved with a cattle prod and I'd be more than happy to volunteer for duty.
Of course, even a scumbag like Akbar is not without support amongst the moonbats.
The trial is going to be a circus. Too bad Akbar wasn't shot while trying to escape.

Today's Protest Round-up
Today, America's moonbats hit the streets against the Iraq War, the War which freed Iraqis from the evil dictatorship of Saddam Hussein. They condemned our troops and voiced support for the "freedom fighters" who are blowing up civilians, including children, in Iraq.
Meanwhile... in the real world...
Iraqis protested outside of the Jordanian embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, Monday, March 14, 2005, in condemnation of the terrorist attack that killed 125 people in Hillah, Iraq, on February 28. An Internet statement purportedly by moonbat hero Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Iraq claimed responsibility for the bombing. (AP Photo/Hadi Mizban)
Those pesky Kurds were complaining again too...
Kurdish protestors hold up a photograph of a victim from the 1988 Halabja poison gas attack, prior to the hearings into the case of a man accused of helping former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein in committing war crimes and genocide, outside the Rotterdam court house on March 18, 2005. The 62 year-old Frans van Anraat is charged with supplying thousands of tons of raw materials for chemical weapons that Iraq used in the 1980-1988 war against Iran and against Iraqi Kurds.

Naught’s Solved by War?
Naught’s Solved by War?
A flickering dawn lights Islam’s hills
A faint emerging light.
Can the torch of Lady Liberty
Flare away Medieval night?
How fitting our bold symbol
Of all that’s good and right
Eyewitness to the Jihad’s wrath,
Stands forefront in this fight.
Her torch is not mere sculpted bronze,
To those in Mullahs’ chain’s;
But a lamp held high against the sky
Showing them that hope remains.
Their feudal sheiks view us with scorn,
So obsessed with earthly pleasure;
But one thing they fear that we hold dear,
Is that Bill of Rights we treasure.
We drove a tyrant from his throne,
Brought his people free election.
Think it concerns them overmuch,
WMD’s escaped detection?
Just behold those blue-stained fingers,
Like the Lady’s torch, held high,
So proud of their brave turnout,
Putting Liberals to the lie.
How say you now nay Sayers?
What of your dire predictions?
Like fools you swore naught’s solved by war,
Another of your Liberal fictions.
But now you face a hard clear truth:
A truth that you forswore:
This aborning Bush Democracy
Was midwifed by his war.
Within the womb of Islam,
Freedom’s heart so feebly beats.
Is it up us to make it thrive,
To birth it their streets?
What say you disbelieving Libs,
How now shall this thing go?
Shall we execute your exit plan,
Or stay and help it grow?

Suicide by Dozer
I received an email from my friend Warren concerning this post about Rachel Corrie, the moonbat who was killed while dozer diving in support of terrorists. Warren works in construction, and has lots of experience with bulldozers, including the one that squished Rachel Corrie into St. Pancake. Here is what Warren had to say:
we have similar machines less the armor. I have run a D-9 and in the civilian model, visibility is minimal (there is a 30 to 40 foot blind area directly in front of and behind you) and you can not hear anything other than the engine and tracks. You would not be able to hear a bullhorn even in an open cab model. We always tell our folks on the ground to give the machines a WIDE berth and MAKE SURE the operator SEES YOU and knows where you are! ALWAYS stand off to the side well away and NEVER directly in front of or behind the tractor EVER.
Standard CAT D-9 w/ ballistic armament (awesome piece of machinery)
Owner : IDF
Weight: 105600 lb. without armor plating or bullet proof windows or optional 50 cal. machine gun turret.
Length w/ Blade and Ripper : 27.8 ft.
Maximum Speed: Forward 7.3 MPH in 3rd gear
Reverse 8.9 MPH in 3rd gear
Normal Operating/Working Speed: Forward 2.4 MPH 1st gearWHY would anyone stand in front of this thing and blame the Operator who has VERY limited ability to see out of it. The average person in reasonable health can walk faster than a dozer can move on flat ground. That girl chose her own tragic fate.
So there you have it. Thank you Warren!

The Enemy Within
The Counterterrorism Blog reports:
Fifteen Senators of both parties, led by Sens. Susan Collins and Charles Schumer, sent a letter today to Sec. of State Rice about Saudi Arabia's violations of religious freedom and the continued export of extremist teachings from Saudi Arabia. The Senators express their “appreciation for the Department of State’s 2004 designation of Saudi Arabia as a ‘country of particular concern’ (CPC) for its systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom.” Moreover, they urge Sec. Rice to persuade the Saudi government to stop the distribution of such material and to implement other measures to curtail Saudi-based extremism. The State Department has a March 15 deadline, under the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998, to take action against Saudi Arabia for the designation of the Kingdom as a severe violator of religious freedom.
I read the report and it leaves no questions unanswered about why muslims migrate to America and it leaves no questions unanswered about why they should not be welcome here.
I can't help but wonder, when are we going to wake up? We are fighting a war against terrorism. If they are using mosques here in America to incite hatred against Americans and to encourage terrorism, the mosque needs to be demolished and the perpetuators need to go to jail.
We have laws here in the United States of America. Laws that state if you use your home as a warehouse for illegal drugs, you go to jail and you lose your home. We have laws that state if you use your car to transport illegal drugs, you go to jail and you lose your car.
How about a little zero tolerance here? Islam will use our laws as a way to destroy us unless we start using our laws as a way to destroy islam.

Anti-War or Just Anti-American?
From the most excellent "Best of the Web" by James Taranto:
With the second anniversary of Iraq's liberation fast approaching, "antiwar" activists in London, Paris and elsewhere are planning more protests. Columnist Amir Taheri had some fun with them:
I spent part of last week ringing up the organizers of the anti-war events with a couple of questions. The first: Would they allow anyone from the newly-elected Iraqi parliament to address the gatherings? The second: Would the marches include expressions of support for the democracy movement in Arab and other Muslim countries, notably Iraq, Lebanon and Syria?
In both cases the answer was a categorical no, accompanied by a torrent of abuse about "all those who try to justify American aggression against Iraq."
Taheri concludes with some pertinent, albeit rhetorical, questions:
Why are so many Westerners, living in mature democracies, ready to march against the toppling of a despot in Iraq but unwilling to take to the streets in support of the democratic movement in the Middle East?
Is it because many of those who will be marching in support of Saddam Hussein this month are the remnants of totalitarian groups in the West plus a variety of misinformed idealists and others blinded by anti-Americanism?
Or is it because they secretly believe that the Arabs do not deserve anything better than Saddam Hussein?

Fatwa or Al-taqiyya?
Muslim clerics in Spain have issued what they called the world's first fatwa, or Islamic edict, against Osama bin Laden as the country marked the first anniversary of the Madrid train bombings that killed 191 people.
The clerics accuse Bin Laden of abandoning his religion and urged others of their faith to denounce the al Qaeda leader, who is believed to be hiding out near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
Yeah. Right. They say fatwa, I hear Al-taqiyya.
Meanwhile... Spaniards lit candles, laid flowers and observed a long, mournful silence Friday to mark the first anniversary of the country's worst-ever terror attack -- 191 people were killed and more than 1,500 people were injured when 10 backpack bombs exploded on packed commuter trains on March 11, 2003.
Consider that a year ago, these same Spaniards were screaming in the streets to pull out of Iraq and give the terrorists what they wanted. Spain has proved itself to be irrelevant to the issues and challeges faced today. They appear to have idea what the consequences of appeasing terrorists will be in the future.
"There is no security, no safety, in the appeasement of evil."
"To sit back hoping that some day, some way, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping that he will eat you last -- but eat you he will."
-- Ronald Reagan
The situation in Iraq is nothing but a small part of the islamic agenda to cleanse all lands of all kufirs and infidels, and to rule those lands according to islamic law.
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.
"We're blessed with the opportunity to stand for something - for liberty and freedom and fairness - and these are things worth fighting for, worth devoting our lives to. And we have good reason to be hopeful and optimistic. We've made much progress already. So let us go forth with good cheer and stout hearts, happy warriors out to seize back a country and a world to freedom."
"Great nations which fail to meet their responsibilities are consigned to the dust bin of history."
-- Ronald Reagan
Because of the efforts of the brave men and women who serve in the United States Military, the islamic agenda will not be successful in this lifetime. Spaniards may sleep well and warm in their beds tonight, and enjoy a lifetime of indolence and indifference. God Bless America!

News From Iraq
This is a recent editorial cartoon from a Baghdad newspaper, it ran in the papers about a week after the election:
The placard says: "Keep your city clean. Put terrorists in the trash."
Isn't that great? I found it over at Major K., he is blogging from Iraq. Get over there and check him out, and don't miss the March 2 entry, it left me speechless.

More bullshit arab propaganda
This time from our friends the saudis. Drudge is linking to a UPI story of a "Marine" who is claiming that the US fabricated the capture of Saddam, that Saddam Hussein tried to fight his way out, and that he was not captured in a spider hole.
"I was among the 20-man unit, including eight of Arab descent, who searched for Saddam for three days in the area of Dour near Tikrit, and we found him in a modest home in a small village and not in a hole as announced," Abou Rabeh said.
He said Saddam himself fired at them with a gun from the window of a room on the second floor. Then they shouted at him in Arabic: "You have to surrender. ... There is no point in resisting."
"Later on, a military production team fabricated the film of Saddam's capture in a hole, which was in fact a deserted well," Abou Rabeh said.
Sounds like bullshit right from the start, a lebanese "Marine" quoted in a saudi paper. A brave saddam fighting back. The evil Americans tell a lie.
So. The United Press International pastes it on the front page. And, as is becoming the norm, a blogger gets the facts.
The Neoconservative notes that:
His story is a load of bull. Saddam was captured by Task Force 121, which is composed mainly of Delta Force (more information available here). No marines participated in the capture of Saddam Hussein. He's just another person looking to make a quick buck.
Neoconservative also shares a link to this post made on a popular online forum which completely debunks the whole thing:
First of all, there were no major Marine units in Iraq at the time that Saddam was captured. The last Marines to leave Iraq left at the end of September '03 (I was in the last Marine convoy to leave Iraq, trust me on this one). Marines did not re-enter Iraq en masse until January of '04.
Second, I tried searching the Marine Locator on Marine Online, this guy has no account (something that's been required for a few years now).
Third, I tried searching the Marine Corps Uniform Board tool for looking up who has been approved for a Combat Action Ribbon (something he would have received had he, you know, ever been shot at or shot at someone), his name does not show up (tool located here: https://lnweb1.manpower.usmc.mil/ma...tion.nsf/search).
Fourth, I looked up who was killed around that time here: http://icasualties.org/oif/BY_DOD.aspx and couldn't find either anyone of Sudanese descent, nor any Marines (goes back to my first point) killed around that time.
This guy is making it up.
Yes, and who could forget this (hat tip to Thumbelina at MightyRighty.com):
Samir worked with the military as an interpreter. He was at the remote farm on December 13th when U.S. forces discovered a secret hiding place. The next few minutes would feel like a lifetime for Samir.
"We saw the hole for the bunker, but it hard to believe someone live in that hole. It was really small," Samir remembers. "They shot in there and he started yelling, "Don't shoot, don't shoot, don't kill me.'" So I had to talk to him. I was the translator. I said, 'Just come out.' He kept saying, 'Don't shoot. Don't kill me.'"
I am not so sure that the motive is to make a buck, I think the motive is to denigrate the United States of America and our Military, while glorifying Saddam after his humiliating capture. A motive obviously shared by our media, who ran with this story without bothering to check the facts. Shame on the UPI and 13WHAM-TV.
UPDATE: "It's not true, period," Pentagon spokeswoman Cheryl Irwin.

March 9, 2005 Update: The Jawa Report
Below are the AP pictures of Giuliana Sgrena's car, the very same car that she claims was shot at "300 or 400 times."
Jeepers! Three or four hundred shots by the elite and expert 3rd Infantry Division, and you have to ask: where are the bullet holes?
The answer offered by Scared Monkeys:
1. The US Soldiers are brilliant marksmen by placing multiple bullets through the same hole.
2. The US soldiers are terrible marksmen, firing 300-400 rounds at the automobile and missing a huge percentage of them.
3. She is a lying #$%#$% communist, who has an ax to grind against the US and its Iraqi strategy and is using this to further her own aims.
Sgrena is being exposed for the liar that she is over at The Jawa Report, and don't miss these posts either:

The Art of Al-taqiyya
Muslim opinion of America is changing — for the better, according to a poll released yesterday at the District-based Heritage Foundation.
Described as "dramatic" and categorized as "the first substantial shift of public opinion in the Muslim world" since September 11, the findings reveal that pronounced Islamic distaste of the United States is waning.
Based on a survey conducted Feb. 1-6 of 1,200 adults in Indonesia — the world's largest Muslim country — the poll found that 40 percent favored U.S.-led efforts against global terrorism — up from 23 percent in 2003.
Yay! Woo hoo! They like us! They finally like us. Yippee! < /sarcasm >
Get a grip, for crying out loud, get a grip! Should we care if they like us? No. Should we care if they say they like us? No. But more importantly, do they really they like us more? Or even hate us less? No.
This is, I believe, a direct result of negative press that islam hates Americans, as well as repeated demands by Americans that Muslims speak out against terrorism. Should what they say make a difference?
Al-taqiyya is a word used for the practice of Muslims blatantly lying to non-Muslims. Muslims consider the act of Al-taqiyya or lying to non-Muslims to be a good work. Especially if it helps support the war against the infidel. In case you've forgotten, you are the infidel, so am I, so is each and every American who is not muslim.
From "Islam's Shell Game" by Johnn "Trike" Schroeder
Muslims say one thing and think another, because their holy book allows such action in the furtherance of their religion. They do not punish the insane killers in their communities who strike at Americans, because they do not see the terrorists as wrong, rather they see them as warriors, honorable and holy themselves.
Thus there is no conflict with their religion, and no real dichotomy exists between the terrorists and Islam as a whole. If one acts as a neutral (for no Muslim speaks out one way or the other as a rule on terrorists and their acts), to create a sort of wall behind which our enemies can move and strike at us, they act as our enemies as well!
We have a decision to make here, just how are we to protect ourselves, when we allow such a tactical and strategic screw up to exist in our very midst! Who is killing us and our allies, MUSLIMS, not the little old ladies the airport security strip searches to protect us from illegal knitting needles!
We need to start seriously applying common sense while we still have a few people not yet blown up or under threat of being so.
The terrorists want one thing, (just as the Koran calls for), a world united as Islam or nothing! This is about world conquest as a religious duty.
Let us begin to understand that we face an enemy who will happily kill you, your family and friends and celebrate their own death doing it. It matters not if you are on the right or the left, they want us DEAD! Nothing else will do for them.
And unless we get in gear, they will do just that to far too many of us. as we wring our hands and cringe, crying out "Can’t we just get along?" If we do not act, that will be our pathetic epitaph.
So. All of a sudden Muslims like America and Americans? Yeah. Sure they do.
Al-taqqiya is a war tactic, the sheep's clothing worn by the wolves in our midst. and you can't see the forest for the trees.

Things that make you go hmmmm...
Iraqi Sources Claim U.S. Forces Arrest Leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq
15:41 Mar 06, '05 / 25 Adar 5765
Sources in Iraq claim that United States Armed Forces have arrested the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, Abu-Masab a-Zarqawi.
Some sources say he was arrested with three assistants, while others claim he was arrested before Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld’s last visit to Iraq.
The United States has posted a $25 million award for information leading to the capture of the al Qaeda leader.
hmmmm....
The Saudi paper Al Watan reports that al-Zarqawi has been in custody for several weeks.
Meanwhile, CNN is running a picture show of al-Zarqawi with associates, and last week "al Qaeda in Iraq" published a 43 page online magazine.
This guy has been arrested more times than arafat died.

Thirty-five 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 that day, it seems that their expertise at bomb-making left much to be desired.
The bomb they were making was intended to blow up a dance, a dance held at Fort Dix. Good riddance. Had they been better bomb-makers, instead of killing themselves, they would have killed an untold number of American soldiers. All in the name of peace.
If they had survived, they may very well have been defended by Lynne Stewart, who has represented other members of the group. A strong supporter of terrorists since she began her career as a lawyer, Lynne loves representing terrorists of the home grown variety only slightly less than she likes representing the imported islamic variety.
Lynne will now reap what she has sown, having been convicted of aiding and abetting the terrorists she represents. Can't hide behind the law forever Lynne. I hope you rot in jail.

No Terrorist Threat
Well. Now we know that the Madrid train bombers had detailed plans of New York's Grand Central Station, indicating they also planned to attack there.
"There is no terrorist threat in this country. This is a lie. This is the biggest lie we've been told." -- Michael Moore
Drawings and "highly specialised technical information" about the station were found on a computer disk seized from the home of one of the suspects, El Mundo reported, citing sources close to the investigation.
The disk was confiscated within two weeks of the attacks on March 11, 2004, that killed 191 people in Madrid, but Spanish investigators did not warn the FBI and the CIA until December, when the full scope of the technical information became clear, the paper said.
Ten bombs hidden in sports bags exploded on board four packed commuter trains last March 11 in an attack claimed by men saying they acted in the name of al-Qaeda in Europe in response to Spain sending troops to Iraq and Afghanistan.
"I think there has been an exaggeration," Mr. Kerry said when asked whether President Bush has overstated the threat of terrorism. "They are misleading all Americans in a profound way."
The same group is suspected of planting a bomb on a high-speed rail line south of Madrid a few days after the deadly attacks, and seven prime suspects later blew themselves up in a suburban Madrid apartment when surrounded by police.

A Celebration of Death
Its time once again to celebrate the holy islamic holiday of Ashura. In order to participate, you will need a sharp sword and metal chains to flagellate yourself in this unique Religion of Peace ceremony. You will also need white robes to show off the blood and gore to your fellow celebrants. Children and horses are expected to participate.
Some of you may be horrified to see these pictures but you are urged to remember that this is but one more way to worship the Prophet of Doom a/k/a Allah, and despite appearances to the contrary, this is a religion and not a cult. In fact, it is the Religion of Peace.
Therefore, this type of behavior is not to be considered abuse, even when it is children who are being beaten and bloodied with swords and chains.
So shut up and enjoy the show. You might as well get used to these images, after all, if the left has its way, you will soon be able to view these things first hand in the streets of America. In fact, you will probably be expected to participate, that is, of course, if you would like to keep your head.
Feel like praying yet?
The origins of Ashura: When the Omayyad Moslem army arrived at Karbala, Ali, the last blood relative of Mohammed, found that his Shiite army had deserted him. He rode out with about 30 of his closest followers, and they were slaughtered. Shiite muslim flaggelate and mutilate themselves on the each anniversary of his death to show remorse for deserting him before the battle.

Playing with Poo
The Germans are on poo patrol. I keep wanting to be pissed off about this, but deep down, I really just want to laugh. It is just so damn stupid.
Police in Germany are hunting pranksters who have been sticking miniature US flags into piles of dog poo in public parks.
Jeepers. I wonder how that idea came about, and what kind of drugs were involved. What will the moonbats think of next?
The series of incidents was originally thought to be some sort of protest against the US-led invasion of Iraq.
And then when it continued it was thought to be a protest against President George W. Bush's campaign for re-election.
But it is still going on and the police say they are completely baffled as to who is to blame.
"We have sent out extra patrols to try to catch whoever is doing this in the act," said police spokesman Reiner Kuechler.
"But frankly, we don't know what we would do if we caught them red handed."
Charge them with littering maybe? Oh how ridiculous these poor pathetic excuses for human beings are, they want to be noticed so badly that they will do anything, anything for attention.

How Was Your Day?
By Ben Stein in the American Spectator
Meet Corporal John Quinones, whose family I brought out to L.A. for a little vacation a few weeks ago. He was home on leave from nineteen months in Iraq after six months in Afghanistan. He's 25 years old. He was in the reserves, but he signed up for the Regular Army after 9/11. "I wanted to go to war against those people," he said.
With him came his wife, Yenncy, holding their one-year daughter Samantha. She doesn't really know her father because he's been away fighting in Iraq for the whole time she has been alive except for one week when she was born.
Yenncy also cares for their two year old, Chris, who also barely knows his father because his father has been figh ting for our children, whom he does not even know.
Corporal Quinones is with the 2/7, the second battalion of the seventh brigade of the First Cavalry Division. His unit went right down the main street of Fallujah in Bradley fighting vehicles when that city was cleared of major terrorist bases a few months ago. He saw numbers of his close friends "lit up" or shot in the battle. He survived, although he has shrapnel in his neck and in his ankle from a mortar attack at about the same time.
His standard day involved working with a unit of the Iraqi National Guard to go out on patrols. He says the ones who believe in a free Iraq are among the bravest men he has ever worked with. "They don't even look for cover when the shooting starts," he says. "They just shoot it out until either they or the bad guys are dead." Out of the ten best ones in the unit, all ten have been murdered by the terrorists.
Tears came to his eyes when he told me that.
He goes out on patrol carrying a short barrel assault rifle called an M-4, a M-79 rocket launcher with high explosive rounds, a Glock pistol, and an AK-47 plated in silver he took from one of Saddam's palaces and which he will leave in Iraq. He wears almost 100 pounds of body armor in 140 degree heat. His unit is attacked with roadside bombs almost every day, hit with rocket-propelled grenades almost every day, often shelled with mortars. They go on raids in the middle of the night driving with lights out and night vision goggles, exchanging tracer fire with insurgents. His Bradley was hit with a RPG about two weeks ago. He only survived because his B-240 machine gun took the brunt of the explosion.
He says that when mortars hit or an IED goes off, "I don't think, I just do." He loves the Army and wants to stay in his whole career if he can.
His wife cries when she hears him talk about going back to Iraq after his leave, which he did on February 5.
For what he does, he gets paid $1,900 a month, which includes combat pay. He doesn't have any credit cards or a computer. He told me confidentially that when he gets up in a tree and spots terrorists laying a roadside bomb and lights them up with his B-240, he feels as if he's earning his pay. His wife cries at that, too.
What did you do today?

21 Bum Salute
'Tis 2005, a new year and a new quest... to find the ever-popular Moonbat of the Year. Looks like there is gonna be a lot of competition this year:
Police ordered naked cyclists to get their gear back on in central Auckland yesterday, after arresting their leader for alleged indecent exposure.
Even so, motorists were treated to a "21-bum" salute, equating to the number of scantily-clad cyclists who rode in convoy to protest against the world's dependency on oil-fuelled transport.
They all had to wear underpants or briefs after the police intervention, although several female cyclists were allowed to remain topless, with or without body paint.
The expose was part of the World Naked Bike Ride, a growing movement in which cyclists in 15 countries are daubing their flesh with anti-oil slogans to "reclaim the streets for people", Auckland organiser Simon Oosterman said.
Thats right kiddies, its the World Naked Bake Ride, coming soon to a city near you. They did St. Petersburg, Florida on Sunday but I can't find any news stories on it.
Of course, this is not a new thing, moonbats have been pedaling around naked for years now, for some reason, they will use any excuse to remove their clothing in public. This pic is from June 2004:
When I see this stuff, all I can think is.. Some people should never appear in public wearing only a pair of sneakers and a bicycle helmet. Why are there never any pretty people at these events?
If you are a moonbatologist, and wanna know when to show up with your camera, check the World Naked Bike Run website for details on upcoming cities. Warning... lots of pictures there.

The Lynne Stewart Verdict is in!
Guilty. Guilty. Guilty.
"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.
Veteran civil rights lawyer Lynne Stewart was convicted Thursday 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.
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
Yes Lynne, and 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. You are a terrorist Lynne, and you are dangerous. And, if you are incarcerated, 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.
"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.
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 rid itself of the entrenched voracious type of leftist thinking that perpetuates terrorism against Americans. You are the problem Lynne, not the solution.
Wanna know more about Lynne Stewart? Well, Moonbattery sums her up right here, and right here. (I pilfered the picture above from there - forgive me Van Helsing, but it was too good to pass up!)
I say let Justice be served:
Just a suggestion...

The Enemy Within - Update
We met Professor Ward Churchill the other day. Perhaps its time for America to meet the real Ward Churchill:
Churchill's claim that he is an Indian isn't an incidental boast, like John Kerry pretending to be Irish. It is central to his career, his writing, his political activism. Churchill has been the co-director of the American Indian Movement of Colorado, the vice chairperson of the American Indian "Anti-Defamation" Council, and an associate professor and coordinator of American Indian Studies at the University of Colorado.
By Churchill's own account, a crucial factor in his political development was "being an American Indian referred to as 'chief' in a combat unit" in Vietnam, which made him sad. This is known to con men everywhere as a "two-fer."
In addition to an absence of evidence about his Indian heritage, there is an absence of evidence that he was in combat in Vietnam. After the POW Network revealed that Churchill had never seen combat, he countered with this powerful argument: "They can say whatever the hell they want. That's confidential information, and I've never ordered its release from the Department of Defense. End of story." Maybe we should ask John Kerry to help Churchill fill out a form 180.
Ann Coulter exposes Churchill for the liar that he is and she does it as only Ann Coulter can. oh... and thanks Chrissie, for the tip!
It seems the good Professor has resigned from Chi-U but somehow, I don't think he is going to go away.

The Enemy Within
Meet Ward Churchill. Professor Ward Churchill. From the University of Colorado.
After 9/11, Churchill wrote an essay in which he compared those killed in the Sept. 11 attack to "little Eichmanns," a reference to Adolf Eichmann, who organized Nazi plans to exterminate European Jews.
In an interview Ward Churchill gave with Satya magazine, he was asked about the effectiveness of protests of U.S. policies and the Iraq war, and responded: "One of the things I've suggested is that it may be that more 9/11s are necessary."
The interview prompted Gov. Bill Owens to renew his call for Churchill's firing. "It's amazing that the more we look at Ward Churchill, the more outrageous, treasonous statements we hear from Churchill," Owens said.
Gov. Owens is right, and Chi-U is thinking about dismissal. Of course, Churchill says he'll sue. On Friday, he told CNN "I don't believe I owe an apology." Yeah well, America does not owe you anything either Ward, and if I had my way, this is what you would get.
This man grew up in the same America as we did. What the hell went wrong with him? What is it about "college professors" that makes them so anti-American? Does a few initials after your name and a bit of tenure cause a person to lose all sense of reality? Why are Americans forced to tolerate this kind of incitement to violence from those who are charged with the education of our children?
Ward is still the Chairman of Ethnic Studies at Chi-U. It appears that you can write the son-of-a-bitch here:
The Department of Ethnic Studies

What will it take?
Good news for the left: The brave freedom fighters and militants continue to fight our troops, and murder innocents, including children, using every opportunity and all ways and means at hand:
Disabled child in suicide attack
Terrorists used a disabled child as a suicide bomber on election day, Iraqi interior minister Falah al-Naqib said today.
In all, 44 people were killed in a total of 38 bomb attacks on polling stations. Police at the scene of one the Baghdad blasts said the bomber appeared to have Down's syndrome.
Mr Al-Naqib praised an Iraqi citizen who was killed while preventing one suicide bomber from reaching a crowd of people outside a polling station.
Do you suppose that human rights organizations cried out in horror of the use of a child with Down's Syndrome to murder innocent Iraqis? Do you suppose the left were offended by such an act?
What will it take before the left realizes that the "freedom fighters" they support against the United States of America are animals without morals or conscience, with an agenda the left cannot begin to comprehend?

Zero Tolerance
Freedom House’s Center for Religious Freedom just released a report, resulting from a year-long study of over two hundred original documents, all disseminated, published or otherwise generated by the government of Saudi Arabia. The findings: "Saudi government propaganda examined reflects a 'totalitarian ideology of hatred that can incite to violence.'"
Now, where do you suppose the "Saudi government propaganda" was found? Why, in various mosques right here in the good old United States of America. Isn't that... special?
Various Saudi government publications gathered for this study, most of which are in Arabic, assert that it is a religious obligation for Muslims to hate Christians and Jews and warn against imitating, befriending, or helping them in any way, or taking part in their festivities and celebrations;
The documents promote contempt for the United States because it is ruled by legislated civil law rather than by totalitarian Wahhabi-style Islamic law. They condemn democracy as un-Islamic;
The documents stress that when Muslims are in the lands of the unbelievers, they must behave as if on a mission behind enemy lines.
Behind enemy lines. Jeepers, and here I thought that the message is that islam is not the enemy? Seems to me that islam knows it is the enemy of the United States of America and so do muslims.
Either they are there to acquire new knowledge and make money to be later employed in the jihad against the infidels, or they are there to proselytize the infidels until at least some convert to Islam. Any other reason for lingering among the unbelievers in their lands is illegitimate, and unless a Muslim leaves as quickly as possible, he or she is not a true Muslim and so too must be condemned.
How revealing is that? It leaves no questions unanswered about why muslims migrate to America and it leaves no questions unanswered about why they should not be welcome here.
For example, a document in the collection for the "Immigrant Muslim" bears the words "Greetings from the Cultural Attache in Washington, D.C." of the Embassy of Saudi Arabia, and is published by the government of Saudi Arabia. In an authoritative religious voice, it gives detailed instructions on how to "hate" the Christian and Jew.
Why is the Cultural Attache still in Washington D.C. and not rotting in some prison? Surely distributing this propaganda qualifies as a hate crime and if it doesn't, it should.
Saudi textbooks and other publications in the collection, propagate a Nazi-like hatred for Jews, treat the forged Protocols of the Elders of Zion as historical fact, and avow that the Muslim’s duty is to eliminate the state of Israel;
The report states: "While the government of Saudi Arabia claims to be ‘updating’ or reforming its textbooks and study materials within the Kingdom, its publications propagating an ideology of hatred remain plentiful in some prominent American mosques and Islamic centers, and continue to be a principal resource available to students of Islam within the United States."
We are fighting a war against terrorism. I am tired of hearing that not all muslims are terrorists, when the truth of the matter is that all terrorists are muslims. If they are using mosques here in America to incite hatred and encourage terrorism, the mosque needs to be demolished and the perpetuators need to go to jail.
We have laws here in the United States of America. Laws that state if you use your home as a warehouse for illegal drugs, you go to jail and you lose your home. We have laws that state if you use your car to transport illegal drugs, you go to jail and you lose your car.
How about a little zero tolerance here? Islam will use our laws as a way to destroy us unless we start using our laws as a way to destroy islam.

It's just an anonymous chat board, right?
So. Do you like to be contentious and argumentative on the chat boards? Do you feel good when you piss someone off? Have you received any hate mail lately? How about stupid death threats full of misspelled words and capital letters?
Think you're anonymous on the internet? Think again.
The father of a murdered New Jersey family was threatened for making anti-Muslim remarks online — and the gruesome quadruple slaying may have been the hateful retaliation, sources told The Post yesterday.
Hossam Armanious, 47, who along with his wife and two daughters was found stabbed to death in his Jersey City home early Friday, would regularly debate religion in a Middle Eastern chat room, one source said.
Armanious, an Egyptian Christian, was well known for expressing his Coptic beliefs and engaging in fiery back-and-forth with Muslims on the Web site paltalk.com.
He "had the reputation for being one of the most outspoken Egyptian Christians," said the source, who had close ties to the family.
"You'd better stop this bull---- or we are going to track you down like a chicken and kill you," was the threat...
Armanious refused to back down and now he's dead, and his family is dead, murdered in their home. "Gruesome quadruple slaying" says a lot about the murderer. Armanious' daughter Sylvia, who would have celebrated her 16th birthday the day after her murder, seemed to have taken the most savage punishment.
I find this disturbing, deeply disturbing. I use PalTalk too, not with any regularity, but I do. And yes, I am usually contentious about Islam. And Muslims.

Worse than Saddam?
What could possibly be worse than having your hands, and/or feet chopped off, your wife and children raped to death before your eyes, being dipped feet first into a vat of acid, being dragged through the streets behind a car, being shot, stabbed, whipped with chains, tied to a tree and beaten with a stick, electocuted, or, a combination of the above and then being killed and dumped into a mass grave?
Why, 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. Oh the humanity.
A former inmate at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison forced by U.S. guards to masturbate in public and piled onto a pyramid of naked men said on Tuesday even Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein did not do such things.
An obviously ill-at ease Mutar added: "I was extremely emotional because (even) Saddam didn't do this to us."
We get 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 said he was forced to eat pork and drink alcohol. He says a US Soldier pissed on him. Aw jeepers. Now you're making me cry. 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.

With a name like Reem
Reem Raiyshi, the 22 year old Palestinian woman who was the suicide bomber who blew up an Israeli bus on January 14 this year, was located yesterday in heaven by a British clairvoyant.
Alas, it appears the Hamas activist was angry that God had not granted her wishes correctly. Ms Mood said Ms Raiyshi thought she was getting tall, dark and handsome men. Instead...
"Reem was led quite sore from Mr Branson's brutal 4 hour sex session to a field of 71 virgin sheep," Ms Mood said. "She has successfully had sex with every one of those sheep."
The Richard Branson thing was kinda nauseating but... as the Straight White Guy points out... don't miss the Hamas Love Doll at the bottom of the page...

Hang 'Em High!
On October 27, 2004, I met well known America hater from Code Pink, Gael Murphy, who, after giving aid and comfort to the terrorists in Iraq, returned the United States of America to target our Military here in South Florida. Murphy is best known for disrupting the RNC during Vice President Dick Cheney's speech as well as other anti-American and terrorist sympathizing activities.
She was outside of a Military Recruiting Facility in Broward County, Florida with a ragtag group of anti-war protesters to intimidate and denigrate our Military and our Country. I was there with ProtestWarrior to stand up for our troops and this Country. We called it Operation Military Shield, you can read about it here and there is video available as well.
Medea Benjamin, co-founder and leader of this anti-American group announced in Amman, Jordan this week that Code Pink, it's parent group Global Exchange and Families for Peace have donated $600,000 in aid to what Maeda calls the "other side" in the terrorist haven city of Fallujah in Iraq. $600,000 given to the "other side." $600,000 that will be used to purchase bombs and bullets for use against our Military.
Medea Benjamin, Gael Murphy, and those working with her, opposed the liberation of the people of Iraq from the brutal reign of Saddam Hussein. They call themselves human rights activists, yet they support the worst human rights violators in the world from Fidel Castro to the terrorists in Fallujah. With American troops in harm's way in Fallujah, Medea Benjamin's proud admission that she and her cohorts are giving aid to the 'other side' should be grounds for her arrest for treason.
Congress convenes this week. I urge you to call your senator and the Department of Justice.
Remind them that United States Resolution 1368 "Calls on all States to work together urgently to bring to justice the perpetrators, organizers and sponsors of these terrorist attacks and stresses that those responsible for aiding, supporting, or harboring the perpetrators, organizers and sponsors of these acts will be held accountable."
Remind them that Article III, Section 3 of the United States provides that "Treason against the United States, shall consist only of levying war against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them aid and comfort."
Remind them that if convicted of treason, the sentence proscribed is death.
Demand they take action to protect our soldiers from these traitors.

Who is Ramsey Clark?
The Antiprotestor Journal sums Clark up in a few short paragraphs:
Clark is well-known for having far left political views and for providing legal counsel to numerous dictators and mass murderers. He is also highly critical of most US foreign policy. Though he accuses the Bush administration and Israel of Nazi-like war crimes, it is interesting to note that Clark's client Karl Linnas, an ex-Nazi concentration camp guard in Estonia, was reponsible for the murder of some 12,000 resistance fighters and Jews during WWII.
Clark has also represented the deposed president of Liberia, Charles Taylor during his 1985 fight against extradition from the United States to Liberia, and in 1989, fringe candidate Lyndon LaRouche, who faced charges of conspiracy and mail fraud.
Clark also represented Slobodan Milosevic in the International Criminal Court and Elizaphan Ntakirutimana, a leader of the Rwandan genocide.
He also represented PLO leaders in a lawsuit brought by the family of Leon Klinghoffer, the wheelchair bound elderly tourist who was shot and tossed overboard from the hijacked Achille Lauro cruise ship by Palestinian terrorists in 1986.
Prior to the start of the second Gulf War Clark was retained by the state of Iraq, serving as legal counsel for the Hussein regime.
Clark is affiliated with VoteToImpeach, an organization advocating the impeachment of President George W. Bush. He has been an opponent of both Gulf Wars.
It is also widely claimed that his association with Lyndon LaRouche in the early 1990s went beyond legal counsel to advocacy.
He is the founder of the International Action Center, which has much overlapping membership with the Workers' World Party, a Communist organization.
Clark and the International Action Center helped found the anti-war group A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) a major organizer of the large anti-war rallies that preceded the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
During protests organized by A.N.S.W.E.R. criticizing the Bush administration, speakers were forbidden to criticize his client, Saddam Hussein.
So there, you have it. Ramsey Clark: Far-leftist America-hater, and the mass murderer's best friend.
Thank you Rocco.

No Ordinary Soldier
With 11 paratroopers under her command, Army Airborne Capt. Kellie McCoy coolly directed fire and cranked out rounds from her M-4 carbine to take out two of the enemy in breaking a well-planned ambush of her convoy.
McCoy's courage and leadership near the rebel stronghold of Fallujah on Sept. 18, 2003, earned her the Bronze Star with combat "V" for valor.
"Capt. McCoy willingly and repeatedly took action to gather up her soldiers under enemy fire and direct fire at the enemy," the medal citation said. "Her actions inspired her men to accomplish the mission and saved the lives of her fellow soldiers."

Our friends... the Saudis
The latest Breaking News from our friends the Saudis is that the Iraq War is not for oil after all. Nope. Not at all.
"Secret European military intelligence reports indicate the transformation of the American humanitarian mission in Iraq into a profitable trade in the American markets through the practice of American physicians extracting human organs from the dead and wounded, before they are put to death, for sale to medical centers in America. A secret team of American physicians follow the troops during their attacks on Iraqi armed men to ensure quick [medical] operations for extracting some organs and transferring them to private operations rooms before they are transferred to America for sale.
NO BLOOD FOR OIL ORGANS!!!
"The reports confirm the finding of tens of mutilated cadavers or cadavers missing parts. Some were found without a head."
Of course, there no reason to assume that the terrorists had chopped off any heads but surely this can't mean that those evil Americans are stealing Iraqi heads to transplant onto evil American bodies???
[The reports] further indicate that American medical teams have [made] active and suspicious moves in Iraq to recruit some Iraqis to guide them to dead and critically injured individuals to engage in the extraction of organs. These teams offer $40 for every usable kidney and $25 for an eye.
Heads? Kidneys? Eyes?
The reports indicate that the cadavers are immunized inside special cars to prevent the spread of the plague until the bodies are buried by their relatives.
Plague? Did you say plague? Yeah they did say plague, but only once.
Well. Even without the threat of plague, this news is very disturbing and I will certainly write some letters to the state department demanding that this practice be stopped immediately. Why? Well, think about it!
If you start with an American body and add Iraqi body parts, what would the end product be, American or Iraqi? This is a very important question. If you end up with an American, well, that would be one thing but what if that makes them Iraqi? And, if most Iraqis are muslim, and certainly all of the Iraqis who are fighting the evil Americans are muslims, what would that make them? American or muslim? Because, if it makes them muslim, then we, as Americans will have to persecute and oppress them.
I guess if they used the entire muslim head on an American body we would know just by looking at them and we could persecute and oppress them accordingly. But, consider this: if the head of a muslim finds itself on an American body, is the head required to kill the body because its an infidel? That would be suicide and suicide is against the law. So then we would be creating criminals and that's not good.
And another thing... what if its only a kidney, or an eye and the rest of the body is, technically, American? Do we still persecute and oppress them? Do we punish the whole because of the parts? And what if its a heart? If its a muslim heart it would be muslim for sure but how would we know there's a muslim heart, or kidneys, or eyes, in that American body? If there is muslim in there, then we, as Americans, will have to persecute and oppress them but how will we know?
This entire idea is confusing. And another thing... if all this is true, can it be believed that this is an evil American plot and not an evil muslim plot to take over America from within? Think about it!!!!
This should raise serious concerns in the heart of every American, provided, of course, that you still have an American heart.

Mosul Attack Update
Dec. 22, 2004 — New evidence shows the bombing of a U.S. military mess tent in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul on Tuesday — which killed 22 people and wounded 70 others — was a suicide terrorist attack, ABC News has learned.
Investigators at the base have found remnants of a torso and a explosive vest that was probably a backpack. According to his trainers, the murderer was a 24-year-old man from Mosul who worked at the base for two months and had provided information about the base to the group.
I have heard from Jamie and he is okay. He was inside the mess at the time of the bombing, but he was not hurt in the blast, at least, not physically. The scars from this attack will be in the hearts and minds of all our soldiers, veterans, and their families.
The man responsible for this attack has been working at the base for a few months. In addition to the shock and grief, some of our soldiers must now reconcile that they gave their friendship and trust to the man responsible for this terrorist attack.
How many good Iraqis will now be looked upon with suspicion? Once again, Islam proves to be its own worst enemy, as well as the enemy of all civilized people everywhere.
Please pray for our soldiers and their families.

Attack in Mosul
Please... a few prayers if you would, for the safety and well being of our soldiers stationed in Mosul.
The dining hall at Forward Operating Base Marez was hit with multiple rounds, at 12:00, during lunchtime. The last report says 24 are dead, over 50 are wounded.
My friend Jamie is stationed there with the 276th Engineer Battalion. Some of you have written him and I have posted his picture here, remember, with the Sopranos?. The 276th has lost two men. I have not heard from Jamie and I am very concerned.
I would appreciate any information you hear on this.

Q & A with the Emperor
Believe it or not, three years after 9/11, there are those who still have some questions.
Questions like: "Can we fight terrorism constructively?"
Questions like: "Who was actually being attacked on that terrible day?"
Questions like: "... three long years later -- many Americans still refuse to even dignify the attack by asking, "Why did they do it?"
Questions like: "Could we more effectively fight terrorism by understanding what motivates it and then taking away the source of the anger?"
The Emperor has the answers. Take the Path to Enlightenment.

Another Country Heard From
This just in from Turkey: Turkish leader warns of terror wave if EU rejects membership:
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish Prime Minister, has told European Union leaders that they will pay a heavy price in continued and escalating violence from Islamic extremists if the EU rejects Turkey as a member and confirms itself as a Christian club.
Claiming to be "a country that has brought together Islam and democracy," the Turkish Prime Minister made references to "terrorism by such groups as al-Qaeda — whose local affiliates hit Turkey last year, bombing the British consulate and three other targets in Istanbul."
Essentially, this Islamic democracy wants into the civilized world (if that's what you want to call the EU) and if it is denied what it wants, it will blow up said civilized world, bit by bit.
"We are Muslim, we are Turkish, we are democratic and our country is secular. Nothing else need be said." -Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Erdogan claims be a "conservative democrat" but his background proves he is but another Islamic firebrand. Nothing else need be said.
That is the very clear and present danger and it is all around us today. -Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan
There are no "islamic extremists" unless you don't give the so-called moderate islamists what they want. Then, they come out of the woodwork to blow you to bits in the next wave of terror. Yup. That is the very clear and present danger and it is all around us.
Prediction: Europe will be Islamic in another generation.

About that oil...
Your attention! Your attention please!
Sabotage has failed to hurt Iraq's oil exports, Iraqi Oil Minister Thamer Abbas Ghadbane said Saturday, though he acknowledged that attacks had hurt oil distribution to domestic markets.
Key word: exports. Repeat: Sabatoge has failed to hurt Iraq's oil exports.
"These operations have not significantly affected exports," the minister said at a press conference in Baghdad, without saying how badly the domestic market had been hit.
Repeat: Sabatoge has failed to hurt Iraq's oil exports but sabatoge has hurt the domestic market.
In America, we call that shooting yourself in the foot, cutting off your nose to spite your face and just plain stupid.

Voting with your feet
For years Holland was celebrated as a symbol of racial tolerance. But two high-profile murders have changed all that.
The illusion that all was well in the Netherlands died in May 2002 when Pim Fortuyn, the shaven-headed, gay populist, was shot by a Left-wing activist in the country's first political assassination since 1584.
Theo van Gogh, his friend and disciple, was next.
"This was our 9/11. It was the moment the Netherlands lost its naivety. We always thought that we were the country of multicultural tolerance that could do no wrong," said Prof Han Entzinger of Rotterdam University.
Frans Buysse, the head of Buysse Immigration Consultancy, said he received more than 13,000 hits on his emigration website in November, four times the usual level. His office in Culemburg is flooded with fresh applications.
"Van Gogh's death was a confirmation for them of what they already sensed was happening," he said. "They're accountants, teachers, nurses, businessmen and bricklayers, from all walks of life. They see things going on every day in this country that are quite unbelievable. They see no clear message from the government, and they are afraid it's becoming irreversible, that's why they are leaving."
Ellen, 43, a lawyer and banker who votes for the free-market Liberals, said the code of behaviour regulating daily life in the Netherlands was breaking down.
"People no longer know what to expect from each other. There are so many rules, but nobody sticks to them. They just do as they want. They just execute people on the streets, it's shocking when you see this for the first time," she said. "We've become so tolerant that everybody thinks they can fight their own wars here. Van Gogh is killed, and then people throw bombs at mosques and churches. It's escalating because the police and the state aren't doing anything about it.
Rob Platje, 34, a sales agent in Arnhem, is leaving in February to live in the Canadian Rockies with his partner and infant son.
"What I see here in the Netherlands is that people are becoming more frightened. A lot of things have been going on over the last two years. They don't know if they can trust their neighbours.
"We hid the problem for a long time because we didn't want to face up to the truth of what was happening," he said.
And so, the Dutch middle classes are leaving the country in droves for the first time in living memory. The new wave of educated migrants are quietly voting with their feet against a multicultural experiment long touted as a model for the world, but increasingly a warning of how good intentions can go wrong.

A New Era for Afghanistan
Let Freedom Reign:
Hamid Karzai has been sworn in as Afghanistan's first popularly elected president. From President Karzai's Inauguration Speech:
"We have now left a hard and dark past behind us and today we are opening a new chapter in our history."
"Today whatever we have achieved -- the peace ... the reconstruction ... the fact that Afghanistan is again a respected member of the international community -- is because of the help that the United States of America gave us.
Without that help, Afghanistan would be in the hands of terrorists, destroyed, poverty stricken and without it's children going to school or getting an education." Hamid Karzai, Afghanistan's first popularly elected President
Hard to put a negative on that one although our ever diligent and anti-American media managed to do so. I choose not to link to that negativity today, so find it yourself if you really want it.
"The tyranny has gone, the terrorist enemy is scattered and the people of Afghanistan are free." -- U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney
Freedom! Brought to you, courtesy of the Red, White and Blue! Thank you Troops for all your efforts and sacrifices given freely to the people of Afghanistan to make this day possible.

Nine to Five in Afghanistan
Hmmm... let's say your job is to caption news photos. I think that would be a great job, you get to see all the pictures and label them for the people, giving a perspective on the news via the image they see.
The problem: You work for the AP and/or Reuters. The job becomes more difficult because now you have to put a negative spin on the United States of America, Freedom, Democracy, the ousting of tyranny and oppression.
So. that means you take a most excellent picture, like the one below, and spin it into something negative. It must be in subtle and delicate way, so that the viewer comes away feeling sadness and grief at the powers that caused the scene. Seems impossible doesn't it?
Still, the captioner for this photo found a way to trash everything that the Coalition has accomplished in Afghanistan with two words: Traffic and Pollution.
Abdul Saboor, 37, an Afghan traffic police officer, regulates the vehicles circulation at the rushed hours in downtown Kabul, Afghanistan, Thursday Dec. 2, 2004. For 12 years Saboor does his duty as a traffic police officer in Kabul where he has experienced a few regimes in the past as like, Najibullah's regime, Mujahedeen's and Taliban's regimes too. But he says "In the past regimes there wasn't so traffic jam as it is now." Since the ousting of the Taliban over two years ago, the number of vehicles on Kabul roads increased to 350,000 in a city designed for 40,000 vehicles resulting in traffic chaos and air pollution.
Now, I hate rush hour traffic as much as the next person but the increase of vehicular traffic means prosperity is on the rise in Afghanistan, all those people driving those cars couldn't have one two years ago. All those people driving those cars have somewhere to go, work, shopping, etc. They have money to spend in order to get there. They are no longer hiding in their homes, hoping no one will show up to measure their beards today.
The bottom line is that enduring a traffic jam is certainly preferable to mass executions and public stonings.
But, what do I know? Oh the evils of democracy and freedom.

Kos Bridge Revisited
The Green Side has a letter from the front detailing the battle for Fallujah. At the end, the author, Marine LtCol Dave Bellon, mentions some writing he encountered:
On the Fallujah side of the bridge where the Americans were hung there is some Arabic writing on the bridge. An interpreter translated it for me as we walked through. It read: "Long Live the Mujahadeen. Fallujah is the Graveyard for Americans and the end of the Marine Corps."
Maybe that explains this:
A US marine from the 3/5 Lima company stands in front of graffiti scribbled on the bridge crossing the Euphrates River in the restive city of Fallujah,14 November 2004, 50 kms west of Baghdad.
The bridge became famous after the murder of US security officers, at the end of March 2004, when their charred bodies were displayed on the bridge.
Apparently, the bridge is now known as the "Kos Bridge," probably due to disrespectful remarks Kos made concerning the Blackwater "mercenaries" at the time of their death.
Semper Fi!

A double standard too glaring to ignore
"A Double Standard Too Glaring to Ignore"
Jane Novak, Arab News 11.20.04
What a glaring double standard.
The Arab world is enraged over the shooting of a wounded, unarmed Iraqi insurgent by a uniformed US soldier.
There is no similar outrage for Margaret Hassan. Is it because she was an Anglo, a woman, or because a Muslim killed her? The video of the soldier shooting is proof, we are told, of America's evil. And the kidnapping, torture and murder of Mrs. Hassan is then proof of what? That America is evil! Muslims wouldn't do that unless evil America forced their hand?
Bombing children, defiling mosques, kidnapping civilians, executing poor workers and cleaning out women -- these are not discussed or broadcast with frequency, or invoke much anger. Videos where a masked man shakes a bloody head while the curtains flutter do not evoke such fury. Why? The identity of the victim or the perpetrator? All tactics of the insurgents are excused.
Hide among civilians. Justified. Wear civilian clothes. Justified. Shoot from a mosque. Justified. Feign death to draw soldiers in (the way one Marine died the day before the incident). Justified. Wave a white flag as a ploy. Justified. Booby-trap dead bodies. Justified. That's just Fallujah.
Moving outward -- Deliberately killing Iraqi civilians daily. Justified. Bombing churches. Justified. Bombing cafes. Justified. Using schools and mosques as arsenals. Justified. Attacking the police. Just fine. The rules of war don't apply to the insurgents, only to the Americans. And if one horrible act occurs at the hands of one American soldier, the world howls. The insurgents' constant inhumane tactics are acceptable.
The American rules of engagement prohibited shooting unarmed combatants. This prohibition was followed by thousands of soldiers, thousands of times. After the shootout at the mosque in which the man was wounded, a call went to headquarters to send a medical team out to pick him up. It is American policy that wounded fighters are given good medical attention. Many are being treated now. A wounded American soldier found by the enemy fighters would be tortured to death after being paraded on Al-Jazeera. And that would be fine. The last war in which Middle East militaries fought was the Iran-Iraq war and executions were systematic. That was fine.
Al-Jazeera, marketing arm for anti-Americanism globally, is showing the shooting nearly nonstop. Yet they refused to show the last tape of Margaret begging for her life because it was "too disturbing." How bad of a shape was she in? Is that why her bruised and battered body is still alone and unrecovered? They refused to show her execution because shooting this good woman in the head was not a "war death," although it was carried out by those the US military are fighting. Broadcasting terrorists' messages to inspire fear in the Iraqi people is thought impartial journalism. Al-Jazeera has been suspended numerous times for acting as a tool of the jihadis.
Why so little regard for Iraqi civilians when they are killed by Muslims but when an unarmed fighter is killed by an American soldier, the Arabs suddenly love the Iraqis? It is too perplexing to consider that Arabs expect a higher standard of humanity from Americans than they do from themselves.
The soldier will be tried. The facts will come out. A punishment will be issued because the US has respect for the Iraqis and enforces the rules of engagement.
If the soldier was wrong, Americans will say he was wrong, loud and clear. Americans themselves will demand punishment for him. Tomorrow when Iraqi children are again deliberately targeted by these terrorists -- not "freedom fighters"-- what will we hear from the Arab countries? Not even muted mumbling. Is it a lack of courage or a lack of concern? Why is there so [much] more sympathy for the fighter in civilian clothes who was shooting from a mosque than for Margaret? For the insurgents than for the civilians? For the terrorists than the police?
Elections are coming to Iraq. The Iraqis will rule themselves. Saddam stole $21 billion from the mouths of starving Iraqi children. The UN closed its eyes. He filled mass graves and torture chambers and the world stood silent. Now as the Iraqis struggle for self-determination, for security, and for freedom from both the US and the terrorists, the Arabs back the suicide bombers. For years, some Iraqis may harbor deep resentment toward the US for its mistakes. The successes of the insurgents, all those dead civilians, will be remembered with anger by many.
Perhaps the greatest number will recall how they were not valued by their "brothers" and were quickly forsaken in the greater cause of anti-Americanism.

Kevin Sites - AntiWar Activist
What happens when you send an anti-war activist to Iraq with our Marines? You get an ordinary war time incident blown out of proportion and presented in such a way that a good soldier ends up accused of war crimes.
One of our fighting men has come under 'investigation' for shooting a terrorist who was pretending to be dead in a mosque. Of course, the media is spinning this as a 'shooting of a wounded, unarmed Iraqi.' Fact is that this was a terrorist playing dead, hoping one of our troops would get close enough to kill or hoping to escape to kill other soldiers. Instead, this Marine killed the enemy.
As we took Fallujah back from the terrorists, several of our Marines who approached the supposed dead or wounded terrorists were themselves wounded or killed. This Marine was in a situation where he felt he was in danger and his fellow soldiers were in danger. This is war and this Marine did his duty.
FACT: Kevin Sites is an anti-war activist. His pictures are proudly displayed as part of a "visual statement against war" on "Images Against War," whose name speaks for itself.
In his search for fame and fortune, and the ever elusive Pulitzer Prize, Kevin Sites has become a traitor and an enemy to the United States of America. He has distorted the truth for his own benefit and in doing so, he has endangered the lives of all of our soldiers, not only in Iraq but everywhere.
I urge you to contact the DOD, the White House, your congressional representatives and the USMC to express your support for this brave Marine. We must speak out to overcome the leftist media before they turn this into another abu Ghraib.
Department of Defense: 703-428-0711
House/Senate Contact: 202-224-3441
USMC Public Relations: 703-614-1492
Department of Defense: contact board
President Bush: president@whitehouse.gov
VP Cheney: vicepresident@whitehouse.gov
And write that Anti-American bastard Kevin Sites too at kevin@kevinsites.net and let him know what you think of him.
Semper Fi and Bless our Marines!!
UPDATE: In April of 2003, while working for CNN in Iraq, Kevin Sites and his crew were allegedly kidnapped by "The Iraqi Fedayeen -- Saddam's loyal Baath Party militiamen" and were "harassed and stripped of their broadcast gear before they were let go outside Tikrit in northern Iraq."
In light of recent events, it makes me wonder what the terms of his release were.

Never Shake Hands With A Peacenik
Peace is good
Peace is great
That's why we must masturbate
Yeah. You read that right. Masturbate for Peace. An idea whose time has come (pun intended). Yep. Gotta love this: "Side with France, reach down your pants."
"There's no greater antidote for war than love. Feelings of hatred and distrust form the necessary basis of armed confrontation. Replace those negative feelings with love and you're halfway towards resolution of any conflict.
You can't love others without loving yourself first. And, of course, masturbation is the greatest expression of self-love. So it's natural that we, the citizens of the world, are joining together to masturbate for peace.
As we begin with this act of self-love, we encourage others to do the same, to take pleasure in life and to share masturbation's positive energy with a world in need."
But wait! There's more!
Oh how I wish I would have thought of that, what a great way to keep 'em off the streets! Oh my.
Check out the bumper stickers:
Top 10 Favorite Bumper Stickers:

5. All we are saying, is give peace a wank
4. War is out, pound your trout
3. Touch your sack, not Iraq
2. My bush doesn't declare war
1. I cum in peace

Four Words - Plus Three!
We have this via Sworn Enemy...
I'm sorry these people are Americans.
If you would like to see why we need a moonbat hunting season, check out Sorry Everybody. The best stuff is in their Gallery. At least there are pictures so we can hunt them down like the vermon they are.
I just noticed that Frank J has found a similar site of losers.
Update: Just found out about How Do You Like My Face. The WINNERS response to the moonbat LOSERS.
Yup. I am sorry these people are Americans too.
As How Do You Like My Face puts it:
And as for the faux-Americans who lend credence to "everybody else's" concerns by apologizing to them when the rest of the US hasn't lived up to "everybody else's" standards, we have only four words...
And those four words are:
Idiots. Idiots. We are surrounded by idiots.

Muslim Groups Try to Suppress Free Speech
Via Little Green Footballs: Muslim advocacy groups are attempting to suppress the publication of the book Prophet of Doom by Craig Winn, claiming it is "blasphemous:" Stop Hatred & Misinformation about the Best of Creation (peace be upon him) Petition.
This petition to stifle criticism of Islam has garnered almost 45,000 signatures as of this writing. But here’s a counter-petition you can sign, urging bookstores not to cave in to these un-American scare tactics: First Amendment freedoms include the right to criticize Islam and Muhammad Petition.

What are we fighting for?
In case you were wondering...
BAQOUBA, Iraq - Twenty-five parties. Millions of voters. Twelve hours of balloting at sites ringed by layers of police and military guards.
After decades of dictatorship, today is the day that Iraq begins the six-week process of voter registration.
"Today voter registration is starting all over the country," said Farid Ayar, the spokesman for Iraq's Independent Electoral Commission. "It is going well up until now."
"We are not worried about security, everything is going very well," Ayar said.
He had said that a group linked to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian Islamist who tops Iraq's most wanted list, had sent menacing letters to election organizers warning them to stop work or die.
The process poses a huge security challenge for American military commanders given the task of ensuring the vote comes off. Troops from the 3rd Brigade, 1st Infantry Division are mapping out a spectrum of tasks, funding the printing of election posters, preparing pre-emptive strikes on insurgents, securing polling sites and ensuring hospitals have enough medical supplies in the event of mass casualties.
"We can't afford not to succeed," said U.S. Army Maj. Kenneth Adgie, operations officer of the 3rd Brigade, 1st Infantry Division. "We are looking at a step-change in the history of Iraq. If we mess it up, it's back to the bad old days."
G-d Bless our Troops! and Let Freedom Reign!

Global Test Coming Up...
Osama speaks and The Great Pretender takes a poll.
"The thing that I find amazing about it is that John Kerry's first response was to go conduct a poll. He went into the field ... to find out what he should say about this tape of Osama bin Laden.
It's as though he doesn't know what he believes until he has to go and check the polls, his finger in the air, to see which way the wind is blowing and then he'll make a decision.
George Bush doesn't need a poll to know what he believes, especially about Osama bin Laden." -- Vice President Dick Cheney

Operation Military Shield - Success!
Operation Military Shield
!!!!!!! SUCCESS !!!!!!
SoFla Protest Warriors Shield the Defenders of Freedom from those who would destroy America!
The Broward Anti-War Coalition had an Anti-War Demonstration at the Broward County Military Recruiting Facility in South Florida today.
Their Goal: To intimidate and denigrate our Military and our Country.
Not in our town! Our Military is fighting to protect our Freedom. They protect us, now we protect them! Members from the Miami Chapter, the Pompano Chapter, the Cooper City Chapter and the Naples Chapter all participated in this Operation. CBS News was on hand.
The loony left were a bit intimidated by our presence, and at first, it looked like they would give up and go away. So, we broke ranks and retreated for a bit, leaving a scout to report on their activity. Shortly after we left, the loonies came out and positioned themselves on the sidewalk.
We gave them a few minutes to get comfortable and then we overwhelmed them. It was truly a beautiful thing... they went up and down the block, and across the street, trying to get away from us, to no avail. We harried them left and we harried them right. We harried them back and forth and up and down.
There was surprise guest appearance by well known America hater from codepink Gael Murphy, who, after giving aid and comfort to the terrorists in Iraq, has returned the United States of America to target our Military here in South Florida.
Miss Murphy is best known for disrupting the RNC during Vice President Dick Cheney’s speech as well as other anti-American and terrorist sympathizing activities.
We had a "man in the street" moment that was truly awesome as a passerby pulled over, and joined us for a moment, expressing his support of the troops and our President, as well as his outrage at the left for their treatment of the troops and this country!

Happy Birthday UN
It was fifty-nine years ago on October 24, 1945 that the United Nations came into existence as an instrument of peace with a vision to make the world a better place for succeeding generations - a world where nations are at peace with one another, where people's human rights are protected, where the equal rights of men and women are guaranteed, where the rule of law is observed and respected, and social progress and better standards of life are ensured for all.
Sadly, the United Nations has not only failed miserably, but has become a protector of terrorists and a supporter of the regimes which breed them.
The President of the United States recently spoke to the United Nations. He spoke of the need for change and called for a new course of action against the threat of terrorism, to stop the killing of school children in Russia, the beheading of construction workers in Iraq, the murder by suicide bombers. He spoke of how, rather than engineers, doctors, scientists and social workers, the Muslim world has become the world's largest exporter of hatred and murder. He spoke of how Muslim equality for women has emerged under the guise of female suicide bombers. He spoke of the consequences of terrorism that have been perpetuated by the Muslim world for over a decade in New York, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Kenya, Tanzania, and Bali, Jakarta, Moscow, Madrid and Istanbul.
The President urged action against terrorism, admitting that "for too long, many nations, including my own, tolerated, even excused, oppression in the Middle East in the name of stability." He promised to implement the radical changes that would lead to freedom, to take the fight to the enemy instead of waiting for them to come to us. He acknowledged that it would not be easy and he urged the world to unite in the effort.
What effect could such powerful words have when most of those oppressors, most of those violators of human rights and decency, most of those dictators that our President was referring to in his speech sat before him as members in good standing of the United Nations?
Sitting on UN Commission on Human Rights are some of the world's worst mass murderers and violators of the very human rights they are supposed to protect, including Cameroon, China, Congo (DRC), Cuba, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Uganda, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe. The Chairman of the Commission is one of the worst human rights offenders, Libya. These are the very same human rights violators that the Commission is supposed to investigate and expose.
No wonder, then, that the UN has failed to even criticize China's human rights violations, failed to even discuss slave labor when the former Soviet Union existed, failed to even consider the sale of white women and children in Saudi Arabia, failed to investigate the denial of the most basic human rights to women in Asia and Arab countries, and failed to examine the slave trade in Arab countries.
Recently, the Commission has voted against "special observation" of Zimbabwe's violations of human rights; and for the upgrading of the human rights status of Sudan, even while its dictatorship is committing genocide against its southern black Christians, carrying on slavery, and approving of systematic rape.
Consider the actions of Commission member Cuba. Castro had thrown into prison seventy-five dissidents, including journalists and librarians; and it had executed three men who hijacked a ferryboat to escape from this communist hellhole. No matter. The Commission reelected Cuba to another three-year term, "undoubtedly a recognition of the Cuban Revolution's work in human rights in favor of all our people," so Cuba proclaimed.
Ever careful to protect itself and its member dictatorships, the UN went so far as to terminate its relationship with the free speech organization Reporters Without Borders after it criticized the UN's human rights record. Reporters Without Borders had the audacity to suggest reforms that included the restricting of voting by dictatorships and claimed "that granting the chair to Qadhafi's [Libyan] regime has been a disgrace to the commission." The Commission voted 27 to 23 to suspend its relationship with the organization. All of the democratic members voted against it.
As Victor Davis Hanson said in the Wall Street Journal, "It is not the same United Nations of decades past, helping the poor nations with hunger, and sending troops around the world to keep the peace. Gone are the days when UNESCO and UNICEF provided selfless service around the world to fight disease and famine. Now it is a political body with a different agenda. Its membership is rife with tyrannies, theocracies and Stalinist regimes."
Immediately prior to the President's speech, Kofi Anan declared the Iraq War illegal to a BBC reporter. No surprise, considering that at the time of Iraq's blatant defiance of the United Nations resolutions on its weapons of mass destruction, one of Saddam Hussein's henchmen chaired the May sessions of the UN Conference. No surprise considering Kofi Anan's participation the Oil for Food scandal currently under investigation. No surprise considering the UN was silent while Saddam Hussein starved, tortured, maimed and murdered his own people.
Indeed, the UN was silent while Slobodan Milosevic methodically practiced ethnic cleansing in his country. The UN was silent while the Taliban systematically murdered their own people, repressed all human rights, and enslaved women. The UN was silent while in Rwanda and Burundi, half a million lives were lost in civil war.
The UN was silent while 800,000 people were murdered in 1994 during a systematic genocide organized by the Hutu government, and carried out against the Tutsi minority by its troops, police, and specially trained death squads. In 1999, an independent report condemned the UN's reluctance to accept evidence of a genocide, and reluctance to act once the genocide was undeniable.
The UN was silent while in North Korea hundreds of thousands have been murdered in the last decade, and possibly three million have been starved to death in a government created famine.
The UN was silent while 8,000 Muslim men and boys were murdered in Srebrenica, Bosnia, during the Bosnian war of 1995. Another UN commissioned report on this asserted that the UN peacekeepers stood by while Serb troops massacred those to whom the UN had promised protection. The UN had refused to reinforce their peacekeepers with enough troops, and even then severely restricted the action of those that were there.
The UN was silent while over three million were killed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo with UN peacekeepers standing by and watching.
And the UN remains silent through the genocide in Sudan.
By its own admission in the Report of the Panel on UN Peace Operation, the UN recognized that its peacekeeping efforts have failed. It undertook peacekeeping in only a third of the conflicts during the 1990s, and when the UN did do something, it failed or was not effective.
And yet, the UN raises its voice, loud and clear, in consistent and constant condemnation of Israel. In the last few decades, more than half of the UN resolutions passed were against Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East. Israel scores as high as the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom on political rights. On civil liberties, Israel scores much higher than the dictatorship members of the UN. Yet Israel remains only UN member excluded from participation in every UN committee, having been rejected for membership on the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, UN Human Rights Committee, UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women, UN Racial Discrimination Committee.
Consider the dictatorships of Algeria, China, Libya, Saudi Arabia, and Syria, all of whom are members of the UN Commission on Human Rights. The dictatorship of Egypt is a member of all six UN committees concerned with human rights treaties. The dictatorships of Libya, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan participate on the Governing Council of the International Labor Organization. The bloody dictatorship of Iran is on the five-member UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention.
Dictatorships who treat women as second class citizens or slaves like Egypt, Iran, Sudan and the United Arab Emirates are all members of the UN Commission on the Status of Women.
"So Americans' once gushy support for the U.N. during its adolescence is gone. By the 1970s we accepted at best that it had devolved into a neutral organization in its approach to the West, and by the 1980s sighed that it was now unabashedly hostile to freedom. But in our odyssey from encouragement, to skepticism, and then to hostility, we have now reached the final stage--of indifference. Americans do not get riled easily, so the U.N. will go out with a whimper rather than a bang. Indeed, millions have already shrugged, tuned out, and turned the channel on it." - Victor Davis Hanson
Happy Birthday United Nations, may this one be your last.

Your Choice
On the liberal media, I hear talking heads and Kerry/Edwards bemoaning the fact that Iraq is drawing terrorists to the area to fight. Clearly their limited ability to see this as constructive is almost laughable, if it weren’t so sadly partisan. Terrorists tend to hide in the midst of the population, coming out like cockroaches after dark to strike and hide again.
We have created a situation that draws them out, and into a killing field where we can eliminate them in larger numbers, and we don’t have to pry them out of the woodwork. This is a brilliant situation, and we are able to do a more effective bit of pest control then otherwise possible. The dem’s over look this, in order to slam the whole war effort, and I for one say that this borders on the treasonous, if not the insanely stupid! In their drive to regain their power, the left has sided with the enemies of America, and the media helps them with ever growing enthusiasm. Cutting off the real stories coming out of Iraq, slanting the news into leftist propaganda, and supporting the idea of running away, leaving the 50 million Iraqis to their enemies, is pure evil at its best!
America is being fed a daily diet of false or distorted information, and it is having a negative effect, and adds to the spilt in America. The press is no longer reporting news, but creating news, and in doing so support the enemies of America with almost fanatical energy, in their drive to shape an America to their liking. I fear for America, partly because of things I see happening, (or not happening)
-Kerry not tried for war crimes, and he should not even be able to run for President, until this is cleared up! (The U.C.M.J. says he should be tried for false medals, treason, and likely more, yet he gets a pass!) Clearly laws mean nothing anymore!
-USN giving Kerry a pass on checking on his medal debacle, so justice is again by-passed! So if Kerry gets a pass, then so should the prison guards, and the military unit that went AWOL.
-Our borders are a pathetic joke, and it is very likely that we are going to have dead Americans because of it!
-We hear a lot of whining about how we can’t find the illegals and deport them, (so there will be enough cheap labor). And we are being taxed to support them, and hear how we need to give them everything from free medical to schooling, to jobs since they're here. Some even say we need to give them citizenship, to reward them for breaking the laws. We’re the welfare sugar daddy for most of central and south America, and Mexico to boot. Time they got off their asses, and corrected their own problems!
-We have a lot of military people in Europe who could be transferred to Iraq and the ‘Stans to fight, and bring the over-due troops home today, yet we stay there and ‘protect’ those who hate us, but want our money!
- The UN is hip deep in graft and corruption, has done nothing about Sudan, doesn’t stop genocide, and bemoans the fact that Israel is protecting itself from terrorists daily!
We have to ask ourselves if America is really one nation anymore. Do we have the backbone to win, or have the PC lefties gutted America into a bunch of whining wimps? We as a people have more then an election to decide, we have to decide if America is even going to last the next few years. We are losing the very heart of America, and we sit about, complaining, but doing nothing to take it back. I wonder if we deserve America anymore!
-Kids come out of school properly propagandized, but unable to even balance a damn checkbook!
-Laws are passed and then tossed out by activist judges, and we just whine about it!
-Our troops are nearly shunned by the media, and we don’t know what they are doing or have accomplished because the media doesn’t want us to know. This is treason of the highest order!
-We have our ability to communicate our thoughts and desires during an election blocked by those for whom America is but a passing dream.
We have gunshots fired into campaign headquarters, riots in them, and other forms of domestic terrorism from the left plus vote fraud (for drugs no less) and little is done or said by either party in an attempt to control it. How is this any different then in some turbulent third-world country? America is being torn apart so that a party can regain their lost power. We are heading towards a civil war, and our politicians are more interested in their jobs, then our safety and rights! America, does it really exist any more?
We need to get out of the damn UN, demand it go to europe and whine there, we need to continue kicking terrorist asses, and we need to support Israel even more.
We need to start arresting and deporting the illegals, and the terrorists who come in with them! We need to close the borders and let the hispanic countries make the changes they need to have a better country and not support their failing governments with our welfare.
We need to stop buying the media output, until they see that we either get the truth, or they can go under and some other news service takes over!
We need to stop letting thugs take over the elections in America, and we need to eliminate or at least challenge PC where ever it rears its ugly head.
And we need to start teaching our kids, (even the lost ones) real education, or they will fail forever!
America is about to be tested as never before, and we, the American people can no longer trust politicians looking to pad their over-paid jobs to do it for us. Words are easy, what must be done is not! But, if we the people of America fail to do this, America is surely gone.
Its time to stand up and stop bitching! Its time to eight ball the losers and demand our rights and country back, or just sit down and shut up like good little comrades.
Your choice.

Apologizing to Saddam is Groovy
Via Sean Gleason...
Good news, for a change. If you're like me, except nuts, you have probably been wondering, "With so much violence in the world, and so little in the way of affordable drugs, is there any way I, as a moonbat, can personally make a meaningful apology to Saddam Hussein for causing so much hardship to his armies of evil henchmen? Well, not a personal apology, since I didn't do any of that army stuff. But isn't there some way to, like, do a, kind of, apology for other people? Like, 'I'm sorry someone else liberated your country, dude'?"
Yes, you too can apologize to Saddam along with the rest of them. See the Page of Atonement. More here. And more here.
My contribution:
Look Ma... no hands! My apologies to Shawn and Judy for the use of their picture! We had fun that night - didn't we? (my hair is not really red, it just looks like that on the internet.)

Wanted: Sugar Daddy
Now that Saddam ain't around, the french are looking for a new Sugar Daddy and it looks like they found one:
Paris, France, Oct. 7 (UPI) -- French President Jacques Chirac is calling on the European Union to lift a long-standing arms embargo against China.
"France supports lifting the embargo," Chirac said in an interview with China's official news agency, Xinhua, adding it no longer reflected present day realities.
The European Union imposed the weapons' ban following China's 1989 crackdown against pro-democracy protesters in Tiananmen Square, in Beijing.
Today, European countries are divided over lifting the embargo, with Sweden and the Netherlands opposed to doing so. The United States is also against it.
Chirac noted "stong reservations" on the part of Washington, but said Paris would push for a swift lifting of the embargo. His remarks were posted on the French presidency's Web site, and came ahead of Chirac's trip to China on Friday.
During his visit, the French president is expected to press for greater trade and foreign investment with China.
Does this pass the Global Test?

Iraq and WMD
Quite frankly, I really don't give a rat's butt whether we find WMDs in Iraq or not. I have no doubt they were there and that they are now in Syria.
Puleeze. Saddam was a power hungry and psychotic dictator sitting on a pile of cold hard cash. He bribed the UN, Russia, France and China. All that was left was to get out from under the watchful eye of the US and its all systems go. So, he let the UN in for a little peek. Didn't work, thanks to George Bush.
Whether WMDs are found in Iraq or not is simply of no moment to me at all. Saddam Hussien is a terrorist who supported other terrorists and he needed to be stopped. If I regret anything that our President and our Military has done, I regret that we captured the bastard alive. He should have been shot while trying to escape.
Reality is that the intelligence concerning WMDs and Iraq was a lot better than the intelligence reports about the possibility of arabs flying planes into buildings pre-9/11. Yet people want to fault George Bush for not acting on poor intelligence and somehow stopping 9/11 before it happened and they want to fault him for acting on good intelligence and stopping a terrorist responsible for the murders of an untold number of people.
I support the War on Terrorism. I support President Bush. I support President Bush's decision to take the War on Terrorism into Iraq.
Meanwhile, The Great Pretender's Junior Achiever told America on Tuesday Nite that there are 60 countries who have members of Al Qaida in them. Sixty countries, but not Iraq. Oh no, not Iraq! Unjust war!
So. If the war in Iraq is really an "unjust war" should we release him? Give him back his palaces? Give him back his people shredders and his torture chambers?

Palestinian Terrorism by The Numbers
Ma'ariv International reports: that "since the intifada erupted four years ago, 1,017 Israelis were killed, of them 70% were civilians and 30% members of Israeli security forces, data published by the ISA this (Monday) afternoon after four years of confrontation. According to the data, Palestinian militants terrorists perpetrated 13,730 shooting attacks and 138 suicide bombings. Nearly 5,600 Israelis were injured during the time period, of them 82% civilians and 18% security forces personnel."
According to the report, the bloodiest year was 2002 during which 452 Israelis were killed and 2,309 sustained injuries. A significant drop has occurred since then, culminating in 2004 during which 97 Israelis were killed, another 441 injured.
Using such a time table to report terrorism in Israel is irresponsible and misleading. Anyone who thinks these numbers reflect the terrorism inflicted upon Israel by palestinian terrorists is simply delusional.
Shin Bet reports that there has been an 84% decrease in the number of Israelis killed in terror attacks since the completion of the first portion of the security fence in August last year that comprises 134 kilometers between Salem and Elkana.
From author Naomi Ragen in Israel:
"You're not going to believe this, but the very same EU that has been hammering Israel about the fence is now building one of its own, maybe even with Israeli help. This is NOT a joke!"
Yup. The good people at the EU condemned Israel and voted against it at the UN General Assembly for building a security fence. Never mind that the purpose of the fence was to keep palestinians with explosive belts strapped to their bodies from killing Jews. They condemned it nonetheless.
Still, the EU is planning a separation fence of its own. The EU plans to build a fence to separate its new members - Poland and Hungary - from its new neighbors - Russia, Belarus and Ukraine - to prevent the free movement of migrants seeking to enter the EU.
None of those migrants from Poland and Hungary come equipped with a explosive belt and none of them migrants are hell-bent on murder, mayhem and chaos. But the EU fence is okay.
Not only that but the EU has hired Israeli companies that specialize in the construction of warning fences and security systems to build it for them.
How do you define hypocrisy?

Nope... No Terrorists Here
The Great Pretender once again proves his ignorance of foreign affairs, the origins and the impact of terrorism and of course, the history of Iraq. It makes me wonder where The Great Pretender was during the years 1980 through March 2003.
"Iraq is now what it was not before the war, a haven for terrorists." John F. Kerry, September 24, 2004
Iraq and terrorism go back decades. Baghdad trained Palestine Liberation Front members in small arms and explosives. Saddam used the Arab Liberation Front to funnel money to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers in order to prolong the Intifada. And it's no secret that Saddam's own intelligence service was involved in dozens of attacks or attempted assassinations in the 1990s.
"Iraq is now what it was not before the war, a haven for terrorists." John F. Kerry, September 24, 2004
Iraq was a haven for palestinian international terrorist Abu Abbas, who was captured in Baghdad in April of 2003. Palestinian terrorists under Abbas' command hijacked the Achille Lauro in October 1985. During the hijacking, Leon Klinghoffer -- a 69-year-old wheelchair-bound American Jew who was with his wife of 36 years on the cruise -- was killed and dumped into the sea. "He created troubles. He was handicapped but he was inciting and provoking the other passengers. So, the decision was made to kill him," Abbas told the Boston Globe in 1998.
Abu Abbas had been living in Baghdad since 1994, under the protection of Saddam Hussein.
"Iraq is now what it was not before the war, a haven for terrorists." John F. Kerry, September 24, 2004
Iraq was a haven for palestinian international terrorist Abu Nidal, and The Abu Nidal Organization ("ANO"), in fact, Saddam participated in forming the ANO, sheltered the ANO, and sponsored ANO. The ANO is responsible for terrorist attacks in 20 different countries, which killed more than 300 people, as well as wounding hundreds more. In the mid-1980s, the group was seen as the world’s most dangerous terrorist organization. Experts say that Abu Nidal worked with Iraqi intelligence while representing Fatah in Baghdad. Although Saddam Hussein expelled Abu Nidal and the ANO in an attempt to win American military support for Iraq’s 1980s war with Iran, once the war ended, Iraq resumed its support of Abu Nidal. The ANO is now believed to be based in Iraq, with cells in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon.
"Iraq is now what it was not before the war, a haven for terrorists." John F. Kerry, September 24, 2004
Iraq was a haven for the radical Kurdish Islamic terrorist group Ansar al-Islam. This terrorist group has ties with both the Taliban and with al-Qaeda. It is the most radical group operating in the Iraqi Kurdistan region. Ansar al-Islam activities include: razing of beauty salons, burning a school for girls, and the murder of women for refusing to wear the burqa. It has seized a Taliban-style enclave of 4,000 civilians and several villages near the Iranian border. It is also responsible for ambushing and killing of 42 Kurdish soldiers. Ansar al-Islam is in a state of war with the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK). It was responsible for the assassination in 2001 of a senior official of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), Franso Hariri, and for the attempted killing of Burhan Salih, head of the PUK-led Iraqi Kurdistan regional government.
"Iraq is now what it was not before the war, a haven for terrorists." John F. Kerry, September 24, 2004
Iraq was a haven for the deadly terrorist network headed by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, an associate and collaborator of Usama bin Laden and his al-Qaida lieutenants. In 2002, Zarqawi was in Baghdad for medical treatment, staying in the capital of Iraq for two months. Also in 2002, an al-Qaida associate bragged that the situation in Iraq was "good," that Baghdad could be transited quickly. Also in 2002, two suspected al-Qaida operatives were arrested crossing from Iraq into Saudi Arabia. They were linked to Zarqawi's Baghdad cell and one of them received training in Afghanistan on how to use cyanide.
Zarqawi's terrorism is not confined to the Middle East. Zarqawi and his network have plotted terrorist actions against countries including France, Britain, Spain, Italy, Germany and Russia.
"Iraq is now what it was not before the war, a haven for terrorists." John F. Kerry, September 24, 2004
Jeepers. I guess The Great Pretender was out windsurfing during those intelligence briefings. Or maybe he just shredded those memos too.
How can The Great Pretender keep America safe from terrorism when he is completely ignorant of who the terrorists are, and where they are? If I know, why doesn't the man who aspires to be President of the United States of America and Commander in Chief of our Military know?

Mercy for Saddam?
Cairo - Toppled Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein is miserable sitting in a jail cell awaiting trial on charges of crimes against humanity and has begged for mercy, Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi said in an interview published on Monday.
"He is distraught and depressed," Allawi told the Arabic daily Al-Hayat in an interview from London where the Iraqi leader is currently on a visit.
"Saddam and his cronies are not the all-powerful men that they are sometimes portrayed as in the media," said Allawi, whose government took power from the US occupation in late June.
"Saddam transmitted a message to me begging for mercy. He said they had been working for the public interest and their goal was not to do harm."
But Allawi said his response was: "It is for the courts to decide."

Terror Concert Cancelled.
I suppose the show would go on if it weren't for the recent event in Beslan. Sure. Why not honor the arabs who fly planes into buildings and kill Americans. Why not honor arabs who strap themselves into explosive vests and kill Israelis.
MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian's plans for a Sept 11 anniversary "terror concert," starring a female singer dressed as a suicide bomber, were thwarted on Thursday when outrage in the wake of the Beslan school massacre led to its cancellation.
A fierce-looking girl clad in a burqa-style black dress -- dubbed the "Little Suicide Bomber" by the media -- was to sing about Muslim hardships on Saturday, three years since the plane attacks on U.S. cities that killed around 3,000 people.
Tickets to the show were made to look like plane tickets, the Izvestia daily said.
"The concert has been canceled ... Who in his right mind would agree to stage it after all that has happened in Russia?" said a spokeswoman for the venue, the House of Unions Hall.
The Beslan school siege, in which more than 300 children and adults died last week, was Russia's bloodiest hostage crisis. It was the latest in a string of attacks blamed on Chechen rebels including two plane crashes and a suicide bombing in Moscow.
Ivan Shapovalov, the impresario behind the pop duo Tatu whose lesbian schoolgirl image courted controversy, said he cared little about what Russians might think about his show which he called the "terror concert."
"If people are scared by a woman wearing a black headscarf, that means they are sick themselves," he told Izvestia.
Shapovalov did not confirm the concert had been canceled.
"The venue organizers have not told us about the cancellation. We don't know what's going on. They didn't even let us rehearse," an aide said.

Too Little. Too Late.
Muslim group takes responsibility for 9-11: 'We are so sorry'
This September 11 marks the third unforgettable anniversary of the worst mass murder in American history.
After September 11, many in the Muslim world chose denial and hallucination rather than face up to the sad fact that Muslims perpetrated the 9-11 terrorist acts and that we have an enormous problem with extremism and support for terrorism. Many Muslims, including religious leaders, and “intellectuals” blamed 9-11 on a Jewish conspiracy and went as far as fabricating a tale that 4000 Jews did not show up for work in the World Trade Center on 9-11. Yet others blamed 9-11 on an American right wing conspiracy or the U.S. Government which allegedly wanted an excuse to invade Iraq and “steal” Iraqi oil.As to apologizing, we will no longer wait for our religious leaders and "intellectuals" to do the right thing. Instead, we will start by apologizing for 9-11 . . .
After numerous admissions of guilt by Bin Laden and numerous corroborating admissions by captured top level Al-Qaida operatives, we wonder, does the Muslim leadership have the dignity and courage to apologize for 9-11?
If not 9-11, will we apologize for the murder of school children in Russia?
If not Russia, will we apologize for the train bombings in Madrid, Spain?
If not Spain, will we apologize for suicide bombings in buses, restaurants and other public places?
If not suicide bombings, will we apologize for the barbaric beheadings of human beings?
If not beheadings, will we apologize for the rape and murder of thousands of innocent people in Darfour?
If not Darfour, will we apologize for the blowing up of two Russian planes by Muslim women?
What will we apologize for?
What will it take for Muslims to realize that those who commit mass murder in the name of Islam are not just a few fringe elements?
What will it take for Muslims to realize that we are facing a crisis that is more deadly than the Aids epidemic?
What will it take for Muslims to realize that there is a large evil movement that is turning what was a peaceful religion into a cult?
Will Muslims wake up before it is too late? Or will we continue blaming the Jews and an imaginary Jewish conspiracy? The blaming of all Muslim problems on Jews is a cancer that is destroying Muslim society from within and it must stop.
Muslims must look inward and put a stop to many of our religious leaders who spend most of their sermons teaching hatred, intolerance and violent jihad. We should not be afraid to admit that as Muslims we have a problem with violent extremism. We should not be afraid to admit that so many of our religious leaders belong behind bars and not behind a pulpit.
Only moderate Muslims can challenge and defeat extremist Muslims. We can no longer afford to be silent. If we remain silent to the extremism within our community then we should not expect anyone to listen to us when we complain of stereotyping and discrimination by non-Muslims; we should not be surprised when the world treats all of us as terrorists; we should not be surprised when we are profiled at airports.
Simply put, not only do Muslims need to join the war against terror, we need to take the lead in this war.
As to apologizing, we will no longer wait for our religious leaders and “intellectuals” to do the right thing. Instead, we will start by apologizing for 9-11.
We are so sorry that 3000 people were murdered in our name. We will never forget the sight of people jumping from two of the highest buildings in the world hoping against hope that if they moved their arms fast enough that they may fly and survive a certain death from burning.
We are sorry for blaming 9-11 on a Jewish or right wing conspiracy.
We are so sorry for the murder of more than three hundred school children and adults in Russia.
We are so sorry for the murder of train passengers in Spain.
We are so sorry for all the victims of suicide bombings. We are so sorry for the beheadings, abductions, rapes, violent Jihad and all the atrocities committed by Muslims around the world.
We are so sorry for a religious education that raised killers rather than train people to do good in the world. We are sorry that we did not take the time to teach our children tolerance and respect for other people.
We are so sorry for not rising up against the dictators who have ruled the Muslim world for decades.
We are so sorry for allowing corruption to spread so fast and so deep in the Muslim world that many of our youth lost hope.
We are so sorry for allowing our religious leaders to relegate women to the status of forth class citizens at best and sub-humans at worse.
We are so sorry.

And.. words...
Terrorism is the systematic use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective.
So? Well then. That means they're terrorists, not activists, not militants, not freedom fighters. They commit murder, not executions.
Why does the media not understand this simple fact? Why do they continue to refer to terrorists as anything other than what they are.
I find it an outrage and I know I am not alone in this. Daniel Pipes speaks out about this once again:
"I know it when I see it" was the famous response by a U.S. Supreme Court justice to the vexed problem of defining pornography. Terrorism may be no less difficult to define, but the wanton killing of schoolchildren, of mourners at a funeral, or workers at their desks in skyscrapers surely fits the know-it-when-I-see-it definition.
Even after 9/11, Spain, and Bali, the media continues to pay homage to the terrorists of Beslan whose brutality will live in our nightmares for generations to come.
Even after the atrocities committed against innocent children, the press still manages to avoid calling the murderers responsible what they are, terrorists:
The press, however, generally shies away from the word terrorist, preferring euphemisms. Take the assault that led to the deaths of some 400 people, many of them children, in Beslan, Russia, on September 3. Journalists have delved deep into their thesauruses, finding at least twenty euphemisms for terrorists:
- Assailants - National Public Radio.
- Attackers – the Economist.
- Bombers – the Guardian.
- Captors – the Associated Press.
- Commandos – Agence France-Presse refers to the terrorists both as "membres du commando" and "commando."
- Criminals - the Times (London).
- Extremists – United Press International.
- Fighters – the Washington Post.
- Group – the Australian.
- Guerrillas: in a New York Post editorial.
- Gunmen – Reuters.
- Hostage-takers - the Los Angeles Times.
- Insurgents – in a New York Times headline.
- Kidnappers – the Observer (London).
- Militants – the Chicago Tribune.
- Perpetrators – the New York Times.
- Radicals – the BBC.
- Rebels – in a Sydney Morning Herald headline.
- Separatists – the Christian Science Monitor.And get this:
- Activists – the Pakistan Times.
Now. Isn't that special. All that effort to change the face of who they are, what they did and why they did it. This is a deliberate attempt to give terrorists credibility for their deeds, to justify the rape of children, the brutal murder and atrocities visited upon the innocent.
Pipes believes that the avoidance of using "terrorism" comes from the Arab/Israeli conflict and I agree with him:
The origins of this unwillingness to name terrorists seems to lie in the Arab-Israeli conflict, prompted by an odd combination of sympathy in the press for the Palestinian Arabs and intimidation by them. The sympathy is well known; the intimidation less so. Reuters' Nidal al-Mughrabi made the latter explicit in advice for fellow reporters in Gaza to avoid trouble on the Web site www.newssafety.com, where one tip reads: "Never use the word terrorist or terrorism in describing Palestinian gunmen and militants; people consider them heroes of the conflict."
Pipes notes that ever popular term "militants" is now the industry-standard euphemism for "terrorists".
Politically-correct news organizations undermine their credibility with such subterfuges. How can one trust what one reads, hears, or sees when the self-evident fact of terrorism is being semi-denied?
Worse, the multiple euphemisms for terrorist obstruct a clear understanding of the violent threats confronting the civilized world. It is bad enough that only one of five articles discussing the Beslan atrocity mentions its Islamist origins; worse is the miasma of words that insulates the public from the evil of terrorism.
Yeah well. I know terrorism when I see it. I know murder when I see it. I know what an atrocity is. And I know what the media is too.

No Virgins For You!
The World’s Top Ten Dumbest Terrorists.
Today we have scoured the highways and the bylines and the headlines and the byways of the Internet to bring you a top ten of the world’s dumbest terrorists.
Drum roll please . . .
10. The terrorists who posted an online job application for suicide bombers. No previous experience necessary. Link.
9. Omar Abu Diab: Jihadi declared clinically dead after his car blew up unexpectedly in a work-related accident. Link.
8. The first of three British entries: the British Al Qaeda who promise a “nice holiday” with ice cream and cake to anyone who’ll sign up as a terrorist. Especially, the third interviewee, who is too dumb even to cover his face up. Link.
7. A tie between Smiley face pipe bomber Luke Helder and shoe bomber Richard Reid (second British entry). See Andy Borowitz’ analysis here.
6. Our third British entry dates all the way back to 1605: Unfortunately there was a driving rain and the gunpowder of the cornered men was too wet to fire properly. So they spread the gunpowder on the floor in front of the fire to dry. Guess what happened when a burning ember spat out from the fire and landed on the drying powder?
Needless to say, the survivors of the explosion and the incoming gunfire were captured, and (executed). Link.
5. The terrorist supporter who catches himself on fire trying to burn an American flag. Photos here.
4. The terrorists whose assassination plot was foiled because they posted the details on the Internet. Link.
3. Mohammed Salameh: the terrorist who tried to collect the deposit on the rental van he had used in a terror attack. Link.
2. The Hamas suicide bomber who was mugged by two Palestinian thieves on his way into Israel: all three got blown up and killed. Link.
1. And the world’s dumbest terrorist? Courtesy of the Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiller, we introduce you to Ahmed Abdel Razzaq: the terrorist who went to Iraq to fight the Americans and die a martyr and ended up in a U.S. prison camp after the Iraqis he went to defend captured and sold him for $100. No virgins for you! Link.
Dishonorable mention: Khay Rahnajet the legendary Iraqi terrorist who didn't put enough postage on a letter bomb. When it came back marked "return to sender," he opened the package and was blown away. Story has not been verified. Link. If true it certainly merits top-ten placing.
Shamelessly borrowed from point2point.

Fairy Tales from NY Times
The always PC NY Times printed a fairy tale account of the atrocity visited upon innocent schoolchildren in Russia by "Russian rebels." Full of admiration for their carefully planned attack and their cleverness, the Times describes these "spectacular" attacks by "militants":
"Their tactics, complex and flexible and carried out by guerrillas who control no real territory where they could operate freely, have left the police and security forces guessing where the next attack will be..."
If you read the Times, you would never know that these were terrorist followers of the Prophet of Doom, cowards who tortured, raped and then shot fleeing young children in the back--allah akbar.
No. If you're a Times reader, you would think they were "militants" or "rebels" or "guerillas" or perhaps the ever popular "freedom fighters."
Now that the Times is done with that story, we can go back to discussing really important John Kerry issues--like what "W" stands for or whether Terayza really likes Wendy's chili.

In the Aftermath
BESLAN: On the charred planks of the gymnasium of School Number One, amid soot-covered children's sneakers and shell casings, Beslan's aggrieved citizens debated fighting back.
At first, parents, relatives and friends of those who perished in Friday's bloody climax to the three-day siege gathered at the gutted redbrick building to see the destruction with their own eyes.
But the afternoon soon turned into an impromptu town meeting, held in the blackened gym where many of the hostages died.
A few voices in the crowd called for calm, but many insisted that the deaths of so many children be avenged.
"Let's gather up all of the men in the villages and fight," shouted one man.
"If we don't act now, when we calm down we'll end up not doing anything at all," yelled a middle-aged woman, shaking her fist in the air.
Nikolai Betiyev, 52, urged restraint. "Let's bury the bodies first before we think of doing anything. We need to calm down."
"We won't ever forget this," shouted back Taimuraz Metsiyev, a broad-chested, 33-year-old Ossetian who lost several friends and relatives in the siege. "So don't say that in time we'll learn to accept this, and that we have to concentrate on burying our children.
"The people who don't want to fight say 'So many innocent lives will suffer if we take up arms'," Mr Metsiyev continued. "Well, we've already suffered enough. It's time to fight."
Even as the first funeral processions began wending their way through the streets of Beslan, many residents began openly talking of revenge.
They directed their anger at the organisers and abetters of terrorism in the volatile Caucasus region, and said they could no longer rely on local or Russian law-enforcement for protection.
President Vladimir Putin's image as an iron-willed, no-nonsense leader, relying heavily on his KGB past, now counts for little in many people's eyes.
They are furious with what they see as his inability to shield the nation from terrorism and from the fallout of the decade-long conflict in the northern Caucasus. Now, Mr Putin's calls for restraint appear to carry little weight with so many touched by the crisis.
In Beslan, Fatima Ganukova scoffed at the President's surprise visit to the town early on Saturday to meet survivors, saying he should have instead visited the morgue to view the scope of the tragedy.
"Of course, after the funerals our men will try to take matters into our hands," Ms Ganukova said. "And of course, this is the right thing to do."

Upcoming Fatwah Alert
Gotta wonder how long it will take for this guy to get a islam death sentence.
He used to be deputy prime minister of Malaysia, and way back when, Anwar Ibrahim was often called the modern face of Islam.
Originally arrested as security threat and later charged with sodomy, Anwar was recently, and unexpectedly, released from prison after 6 years. Upon his release, Anwar had some harsh criticism for modern Muslim leaders, as well as a plea for more understanding on the part of his many friends in the West.
Anwar spent much of his time in prison, contemplating the division between the Islamic and Judeo-Christian worlds, a rift that deepened markedly during his isolation, and he is convinced that both sides must change.
"Muslims were hypocritical for staying silent about Saddam Hussein's brutal rule in Iraq, and in complaining about America's influence in the world but ignoring their own troubles."
"This is the single biggest failure of Muslims at present." You don't have credible leaders, you don't have a real voice of conscience."
Muslims never blame themselves for their problems, he said. "It's the Americans and the Jews and the Christians," he said. "We are still in a state of denial."

Top Ten Dictators
David Wallechinsky's second annual list of the Ten Worst Dictators has been released:
Africa managed to take four spots on the top ten with [King] Mswati [III of Swaziland], Sudan's genocidal Omar Al-Bashir, and Zimbabwe's Mugabe, whose government has killed or tortured and displaced more than 70,000.
Also on the list is Equatorial Guinea's Teodoro Obiang Nguema, who has declared: “There is no poverty in Guinea.” Rather, “The people are used to living in a different way” while the bulk of the country's oil income goes directly into his U.S. bank. His people survive on about $1 a day.In July, state radio announced that Obiang “is in permanent contact with the Almighty” and “can decide to kill without anyone calling him to account and without going to Hell.”
Asia takes the top three with its dictators in North Korea, Burma and China; the always-colorful Saparmurat "Turkmenbashi" lower on the list but there nevertheless, Niyazov brings the Asia's count to four; Cuba's Castro and Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Abdullah complete the list.
I have to wonder why Uzbekistan's Islam Karimov didn't make the list, I guess boiling people alive doesn't count for much anymore.

Bad News for the "Blame America" Folks
Talk Radio is the new thing in Iraq these days. Fifteen private stations have sprung up since the fall of Saddam.
"Dijla," Arabic for Tigris has become the most popular of the talk radio stations. Listeners include housewives, students and taxi drivers and assorted late night listeners who tune into listen to a show about relationships. The station averages about 185 calls per day.
Iraqis want to talk and talk they do. Exercising their new found freedom, they call in to complain about relationships, power failures, leaky sewers and the lack of trash service. They call in to religious shows hosted by both Shia and Sunni Clerics to discuss the differences they have. They call in to grill Public Officials and sometimes they just call because all of sudden, they can.
"After 35 years of people not being able to say what they wanted, we need something that can translate our feelings," said Imad al-Sharaa, a news editor at the station.
One such program was broadcast June 30, the day before Mr. Hussein first appeared in court. The program director and host, Majid Salim, asked listeners what they wanted to see happen to him. The answer was something of a surprise for Mr. Salim.
"Most people wanted him executed," Mr. Salim said.
Another time, he asked listeners what they thought about the insurgency that has roiled Iraq, claiming most of the energies of the new interim government of Prime Minister Ayad Allawi and putting the American occupation in danger of failure.
"We asked them, is it terrorism or is it resistance," he said. "A very large proportion, almost 100 percent, said terrorism. They did not like it."
In the time of Mr. Hussein, Iraqi stations other than the official state station were forbidden. Even so, dedicated listeners like Mr. Ameen secretly tuned in to the Voice of America and the BBC. Those days are still fresh for Mr. Salim, who was a host at a station called Youth Radio run by one of Mr. Hussein's sons. Callers were prerecorded, and content was censored.
Let Freedom Reign!

Crying Out in the Wilderness
Every once in while there appears out of the Muslim world, a bit of commentary that makes me wonder if the total annihilation of islam is really the only answer.
The Telegraph has a translated reprint of an article which appeared in the pan-Arabic newspaper Al-Sharq Al-Awsat. It's title: Innocent Religion is Now a Message of Hate. It's author: Abdel Rahman al-Rashed, the general manager of Al- Arabiya news channel. It's message to the Muslim world:
Those responsible for the attacks on residential towers in Riyadh and Khobar were Muslims. The two women who crashed two airliners last week were also Muslims. Bin Laden is a Muslim. The majority of those who manned the suicide bombings against buses, vehicles, schools, houses and buildings, all over the world, were Muslim. What a pathetic record. What an abominable "achievement". Does all this tell us anything about ourselves, our societies and our culture?
We cannot tolerate in our midst those who abduct journalists, murder civilians, explode buses; we cannot accept them as related to us, whatever the sufferings they claim to justify their criminal deeds. These are the people who have smeared Islam and stained its image.
We cannot clear our names unless we own up to the shameful fact that terrorism has become an Islamic enterprise; an almost exclusive monopoly, implemented by Muslim men and women.
Self-cure starts with self-realisation and confession. We should then run after our terrorist sons, in the full knowledge that they are the sour grapes of a deformed culture.
Sadly, reality is that this view will never be popular in the islamic world. Our own media denies the statements above, blaming western civilization for spawning the hate filled and murderous followers of the Prophet of Doom.
Money seeking and power hunger mullahs whip the people into a frenzy. The arab world indoctrinates its children into an angry, death-seeking cult of heartless monsters with one goal, to slaughter the innocent in the name of Allah.
Generation after generation has been raised to hate and murder, led into death and destruction, hoping and dreaming of the promised land full of sexual fantasy and perversion. The cycle of hate must be stopped.
