Americans learning it all in Iraq

This is great! HA! I love that the Americans know who all the key players are, but we can't catch them. HAHAHAHA!

I wonder if this is going to give more for the "Why can't we find Osama?" crowd to complain about?

As if there was a way to find him just by having thousands of people wandering through the mountains while thousands of snipers hide across the valleys. If that could work then more of the Most Wanted might be in prison.

Intelligence: You Can't Fool Me: "You Can't Fool Me
December 29, 2007: U.S. casualties in Iraq this month are at the lowest they have ever been since U.S. troops entered the country in early 2003. At the same time, American soldiers and marines are still conducting a lot of raids, but are doing it in places the previously tended to stay out of because of the high risk. But it's just those high risk areas where the worst of the bad guys tended to live. So the current raids are yielding lots more information on who was involved in the violence over the last five years, and how they did it. While a lot of the terrorists have been killed, and others have fled the country, they leave documents, family and friends behind. They also leave things like a rifle taken from one of three U.S. troops captured in May of 2007. There has been an intense search for those three since then. One of the soldiers was soon found dead, but the fate of the other two has never been confirmed. But recently, when the rifle was found hidden in a home, the occupant proceeded to provide useful information.



A lot of other useful information, that never makes the news, is collected every day. These little bits of data are filling in pictures of who current terrorist leaders and technicians are, and where they may be. The army's use of databases has made every little bit of data more useful. Enormous amounts of data have been collected on the families of known terrorists. A lot of these violent groups tend to be family affairs. In Iraq, people tend to trust only family, and even there one must be careful. So American troops, armed with quick access to these personnel files, know who to arrest, who to let go, and who to question intensively. Those being questioned are also shaken at the depth of knowledge their interrogators often have of who's who in Iraq, even at the village or neighborhood level. It's not so easy to fool the Americans any more."

Egypt continues to deny hundreds of Hamas and allied terrorists permission to land from Red Sea ferries and carr

Once again the Saudis turn a blond eye to terrorism and terrorists within their territory as long as they are not commit acts against the Muslims there. I wish someone could devise a way to separate the Saudis from the Islamists so that they could be punished! As it is, any attempt to punish the Saudis is seen as a direct attack on Islam. There has to be a way...

DEBKAfile - DEBKAfile sources report: Egypt continues to deny hundreds of Hamas and allied terrorists permission to land from Red Sea ferries and carry $150m to Gaza: "Hamas leaders had been trying to smuggle suitcases packed with Jordanian and Egyptian currency into Gaza from the end of the Mecca pilgrimage last Friday.

If delivered, the money is enough to keep Hamas’ military operations going for another three to four months, including missile and other attacks. Our intelligence sources report that several Hamas operatives aboard the ferries are high on Israel’s wanted terrorist list.

They collected around $50 m from Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a secret rendezvous at a Saudi shrine on Wed. Dec. 19; the rest from Hamas’ parent, the Muslim Brotherhood, which was handed over under cover of the pilgrimage. In September, Brotherhood branches worldwide launched a secret fundraising drive under the slogan: “Contribute to save Hamas rule in Gaza.”

Saudi authorities permitted the cash to be brought into the kingdom and handed to Hamas leaders. Egypt allowed Hamas leaders to leave the Gaza Strip for the hajj but prevented them from returning with their war chest. This resolve was the outcome of Mubarak’s talks with visiting Israeli defense minister Ehud Barak last week and their decision to join forces to combat the war activities mounted"

France cuts ties with Syria

Sarkozy orders suspension of France’s diplomatic ties with Syria

December 30, 2007, 4:07 PM (GMT+02:00)

Aftr talks with Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak in Cairo, French president Nicolas Sarkozy said: “I have ordered by team to suspend diplomatic relations with Syria until we see Syria cooperating in the presidential election in Lebanon.”

Parliament postponed the vote Saturday for the 11th time over the intransigence of the pro-Syrian bloc.

The French president stopped short of severing relations with Damascus, saying:

“I will no longer maintain ties with Syria and order all my colleagues to follow suit.” We can wait no longer. Syria must stop talking and act.

French fight against Religion of Global Warming

Wow. Since the Socialists tend to love following the French lead, I wonder how this will play out. Actually, I am going to love watching it!

Bloomberg.com: Muse: "Climate-change skeptics are taking a beating these days even in France, where people long resisted the green creed.

Paris bookstores brim with guidebooks -- including one shaped like a toilet seat -- that tell readers how to help save our planet. Yet the dissidents refuse to shut up, even now that Al Gore has won the Nobel Peace Prize and the U.S. government has agreed to negotiate a new global-warming treaty by 2009.

The most conspicuous doubter in France is Claude Allegre, a former education minister and a physicist by profession. His new book, ``Ma Verite Sur la Planete'' (``My Truth About the Planet''), doesn't mince words.

He calls Gore a ``crook'' presiding over an eco-business that pumps out cash. As for Gore's French followers, the author likens them to religious zealots who, far from saving humanity, are endangering it. Driven by a Judeo-Christian guilt complex, he says, French greens paint worst-case scenarios and attribute little-understood cycles to human misbehavior.

Allegre doesn't deny that the climate has changed or that extreme weather has become more common. He instead emphasizes the local character of these phenomena.

While the icecap of the North Pole is shrinking, the one covering Antarctica -- or 92 percent of the Earth's ice -- is not, he says. Nor have Scandinavian glaciers receded, he says."

Hate cleric Omar Bakri calls for 'ban' on Christmas

Why don't Muslims everywhere denounce this freak? In the US the Christian establishment has distanced itself from the "Westboro Baptist Church" and its hate filled rants. Why is it that Muslims can't do the same thing with their extremist freaks?

Also, Bakri has lived on government aid for 19 years. Why? The English are supporting terrorism supporters so that they can spread the hate? Send this guys family to him if he wants to see them. If they do not want to go, then strip off their hijabs and make them live like English! I think the kids might like it.

Hate cleric Omar Bakri calls for 'ban' on Christmas| News | This is London: "Hate preacher Omar Bakri, who is barred from Britain, is calling on Brits to boycott Christmas.

Using the internet to post a rant against the festive season, Bakri claims Christmas should be 'completely forbidden'.

In another chilling post the radical cleric said Christmas Day would be the perfect day to launch a terror attack on the UK.

He said: 'To have Christmas tree, visit so-called Christmas Father - that is completely forbidden.

'Make sure you do not watch TV. Do not let them hear jingle bells. Do not send your children on Christmas trip.'"

Heb. U. Paper Finds: IDF Has Political Motives for Not Raping

Talk about being between a rock and a hard place! If the Israelis rape, then they are monsters, if they do NOT rape, they are political monsters.

The IDF is a very professional organization which assumes, correctly, that every mistake will make the news and be slanted to an even more negative problem. Also, the Jewish religion and culture reject the kind of scum who rape.

Heb. U. Paper Finds: IDF Has Political Motives for Not Raping - Politics & Government - Israel News - Arutz Sheva: "A research paper that won a Hebrew University teachers' committee prize finds that the lack of IDF rapes of Palestinian women is designed to serve a political purpose.

The abstract of the paper, authored by doctoral candidate Tal Nitzan, notes that the paper shows that 'the lack of organized military rape is an alternate way of realizing [particular] political goals.'

The next sentence delineates the particular goals that are realized in this manner: 'In the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it can be seen that the lack of military rape merely strengthens the ethnic boundaries and clarifies the inter-ethnic differences - just as organized military rape would have done.'"

Pakistan's Bhutto Assassinated in Attack

What a waste of life. This lady stood for change and moderation, so, of course, some extremists were seriously upset and had to kill her.

Pakistan's Bhutto Assassinated in Attack: "Pakistan opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was assassinated Thursday in a suicide attack that also killed at least 20 others at the end of a campaign rally, aides said.

'The surgeons confirmed that she has been martyred,' Bhutto's lawyer Babar Awan said.

A party security adviser said Bhutto was shot in neck and chest as she got into her vehicle to leave the rally in Rawalpindi near the capital Islamabad. A gunman then blew himself up.

'At 6:16 p.m. she expired,' said Wasif Ali Khan, a member of Bhutto's party who was at Rawalpindi General Hospital where she was taken after the attack."

Breaking the terrorist habit in the Middle East

Turning Abbas's logic on its head | Jerusalem Post: "To begin, some basic facts about the Palestinian economy, drawing on a fine survey by Ziv Hellman, 'Terminal Situation,' in the Dec. 24 issue of Jerusalem Report:

# Palestinian per year per-capita income has contracted by about 40 percent since its $2,000 peak in 1992 (before the Oslo process began) to less than $1,200 now.

# Per-capita Israeli income, 10 times greater than the Palestinians' in 1967 is now 23 times greater.

# Deep poverty has increased in Gaza from 22 percent of the population in 1998 to nearly 35 percent in 2006; it would be about 67 percent if not for remittances and food aid.

# Direct foreign investment barely exists, while local capital mostly gets sent abroad or is invested in real estate or short-term trading.

# The Palestinian Authority economy, Hellman writes, 'is largely based on monopolies in various industries granted by PA officials in exchange for kickbacks.'

# The PA's payroll is so bloated that the cost of wages alone exceeds all revenues.

# A dysfunctional judicial system in the PA means armed gangs usually decide commercial disputes.

UNSURPRISINGLY, Hellman characterizes the Palestinian economy as 'in shambles.' Such shambles should come as no surprise, for as the late Lord Bauer and"

Muslims ban Jews from praying at Holiest Temple

WorldNetDaily: Jews demand right to pray on Temple Mount: "Rabbinic leaders and Temple Mount activist groups here today demanded the Israeli government allow Jews to pray on the Temple Mount – Judaism's holiest site.

Israeli restrictions forbid Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount and only allow Jews to ascend for certain hours on some days while the Mount is open to Muslims yearlong. Muslim prayer services take place throughout the day on the many mosques and Islamic religious schools situated on the holy site.

'We demand the Government of Israel allow the Jewish people to have freedom of religious expression on the Temple Mount. This will serve as a preliminary step in confirming the Jewish people's inexorable connection with the Temple Mount, location of the Holy Temple, under the sovereignty of the people of Israel,' states a letter to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert signed by the leaders of the New Jewish Congress, the Sanhedrin and the Holy Temple and Temple Mount movements."

Hindus Attack Churches on Christmas

This is horrible, but in a way I am glad that it is not Muslims, for once.

Hindus Attack Churches on Christmas: "the New Delhi-based Catholic Bishops Conference of India said the fighting began Monday when Hindu extremists objected to a show marking Christmas Eve, believing it was designed to encourage Hindus at the bottom of the religion's rigid caste hierarchy to convert to Christianity. Low-caste Hindus are often a target of missionaries.

An argument over the Christmas show got out of hand and some of the Hindus opened fire on the Christians, wounding three of them, said John Dayal, a spokesman for the Bishops Conference.

The Hindus then went on a rampage Tuesday, Christmas Day, chasing people out of six churches and setting the mud-and-thatch buildings ablaze, he said.

Later, dozens of people from each community clashed, Dayal said. One person was killed, he added, but could not say if the dead man was a Hindu or Christian. Another 25 people were wounded, the Press Trust of India news agency said.

Much of the ill-will in the area, about 840 miles southeast of the national capital, New Delhi, stems from anti-missionary sentiment. Some hardline Hindus are pushing for all missionaries to be expelled while Christians have challenged the conversion law in court, saying it violates India's constitution."

Iraqis pack churches for Christmas

Peace on Earth. Thanks to Jesus and his birthday. May God bless that land

Iraqis pack churches for Christmas - Yahoo! News: "Christians have often been the target of attacks by Islamic extremists in Iraq, forcing tens of thousands to flee. Many of those who stayed were isolated in neighborhoods protected by barricades and checkpoints. Less than 3 percent of Iraq's 26 million people are Christians — the majority Chaldean-Assyrians and Armenians, with small numbers of Roman Catholics.

A coordinated bombing campaign in 2004 targeted churches in the Iraqi capital, and anti-Christian violence also flared last September after Pope Benedict XVI made comments perceived to be against Islam.

But this year, with the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha coming just before Christmas, Iraq has been living through some of the most peaceful moments since the U.S.-led invasion of 2003.

Cardinal Emmanuel III Delly, leader of the ancient Chaldean Catholic Church and Iraq's first cardinal, celebrated Mass before about 2,000 people in the Mar Eliya Church the eastern New Baghdad neighborhood of the capital.

'Iraq is a bouquet of flowers of different colors, each color represents a religion or ethnicity but all of them have the same scent,' the 80-year-old Delly told the congregation.

Muslim clerics — both Sunni and Shiite — also attended the service in a sign of unity."

iowahawk and Common Wisdom

iowahawk: "The holidays are a special time for all Americans. It is a time when we gather together with friends and neighbors to celebrate and share the festive spirit of the season. Some of us celebrate Christmas, some Kwanzaa or Eid; others, like my running mate Jeff Goldstein, Hannukah. In my family we gather around the p'canclhu, and re-enact the transmogrification of Loumbogu, the hundred-headed goat-thing of Su'yocra Tantchohg.

But no matter what traditions we follow, this is a time to look back on the many blessings we share as Americans. Like you, I am grateful for our freedoms and opportunities and material abundance. Above all, as a candidate for President of the United States, I am especially grateful for the opponents that our political process has provided me. Let's pour a glass of eggnog and gather by the fire for a review, shall we?"

Muslims break taboo to allow guide dog into mosque -Times Online

East meets West and West wins? I wonder if the Islamists will burn these people as heretics?

Muslims break taboo to allow guide dog into mosque -Times Online: "A RETRIEVER is in training to become the first dog in Britain to be permitted to enter a mosque, acting as a guide for its blind Muslim owner.

The animal has been chosen because it salivates less than usual, thus reducing the risk of flicking spittle onto other worshippers at the Al Falah mosque in Leicester.

Keeping pet dogs is considered “haram” (the Arabic word for “forbidden”) in Islamic teaching, because they are regarded as unclean, particularly their saliva.

The mosque took its decision after advice from imams and scholars at the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), who carried out a full review of Islamic teaching on dogs."

Malaysian Catholic weekly told to drop use of 'Allah' - The China Post

I see that the Muslims are now denying that there is a link between them and the religions they have claimed as having the same base. Interesting. Very interesting.

Malaysian Catholic weekly told to drop use of 'Allah' - The China Post: "A Catholic weekly newspaper in Malaysia has been told to drop the use of the word 'Allah' in its Malay language section if it wants to renew its publishing permit, a senior government official said Friday. The Herald, the organ of Malaysia's Catholic Church, has translated the word God as 'Allah' but it is erroneous because Allah refers to the Muslim God, said Che Din Yusoff, a senior official at the Internal Security Ministry's publications control unit.

'Christians cannot use the word Allah. It is only applicable to Muslims. Allah is only for the Muslim god. This is a design to confuse the Muslim people,' Che Din told The Associated Press. The weekly should instead, use the word 'Tuhan' which is the general term for God, he said."

NBC Weapons: More Stryker Substance Seekers Secured

NBC Weapons: More Stryker Substance Seekers Secured: "The U.S. Army is buying another 95 M1135 Stryker NBCRV (Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle) vehicles. The first 21 were bought two years ago, mainly for evaluation and field testing. Some were sent to Iraq, where they performed well. The army wants to eventually have 355 of these vehicles, providing each of the army's 40 Chemical Warfare companies with six of them, while each of the seven Stryker brigades get three. The U.S. has never had a vehicle like the NBCRV, and during the 1991 Gulf War, depended on Czech NBCRV vehicles to do the job. The Stryker NBCRV vehicle keeps the crew protected from any contamination, and contains detection equipment that provides a lower (than previous equipment) false alarm rate. The sensors carried attempt to detect nuclear, biological or chemical threats in small enough quantities that nearby troops can be warned to get their protective gear on before much damage is done. The Stryker NBCRV can move about quickly on roads, or cross country, and can be transported in a C-130 (or larger) air transport. The detection equipment in the Stryker NBCRV is being reconfigured so that it can operate as a separate unit, for stationary operation."

IslamicTerrorism: Then, Now and Later

Great analysis of the past year and what happened to the Islamists

Terrorism: Then, Now and Later: "It's not been a good year for Islamic terrorism. In Iraq, al Qaeda was crushed when the principal al Qaeda supporters, the Sunni Arab minority, turned on the terrorists. Same thing happened, to a lesser extent, in Afghanistan, where some of the pro-Taliban tribes turned anti-al Qaeda, and killed hundreds of al Qaeda fighters. In North Africa, defeated Algerian terrorist groups joined al Qaeda, and tried to revive their revolution. This meant adopting the al Qaeda suicide bomber tactics. While al Qaeda was able to do more than one bombing a day (at their peak) in Iraq, and several a week in Afghanistan, the Algerian branch averaged less than one a month. These attacks grabbed headlines, but the public reaction was all wrong, for the terrorists. The average Algerian saw dead Moslem women and children, and became even more hostile to Islamic terrorism."

Wars Update: Hidden Headlines Revealed

This is a wonderful list of what is happening around the world in all the wars. It is nice to see that peace is closer than ever.

Wars Update: Hidden Headlines Revealed: "While the headlines concentrate on peace breaking out in Iraq, that's but part of a worldwide trend for the last few years. Violence has also diminished, or disappeared completely, in places like Nepal, Chechnya. Congo, Indonesia and Burundi. This continues a trend that began when the Cold War ended, and the Soviet Union no longer subsidized terrorist and rebel groups everywhere. The current wars are basically uprisings against police states or feudal societies, which are seen as out-of-step with the modern world. Many are led by radicals preaching failed dogmas (Islamic conservatism, Maoism), that still resonate among people who don't know about the dismal track records of these movements."

Family Adopts Slain Marine's Dog Partner

This is sad and touching. The K9 units get ignored all to often by the military brass.

FOXNews.com - Family Adopts Slain Marine's Dog Partner - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News: "Marine Cpl. Dustin Jerome Lee and his German shepherd, Lex, scoured Iraq for roadside bombs together, slept next to each other and even posed in Santa hats for a holiday photo.

When a mortar attack killed the 20-year-old Marine in Fallujah a few months later, Lex, whimpering from his own injuries, had to be pulled away, Lee's father was told.

That strong bond compelled the slain Marine's family to adopt 8-year-old Lex even though the military said he still had two years of service."

'Security forces have foiled a plot to carry out a terror attack on holy sites outside Mecca with the aim of confounding security forces,' Interior Ministry spokesman Mansour al-Turki told The Associated Press.

FOXNews.com - Belgian Forces Arrest 14 Extremists in Plot to Free Jailed Terror Suspect - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News: "Belgian police Friday arrested 14 Muslim extremists suspected of planning to free an Al Qaeda sympathizer imprisoned for planning a terrorist attack on U.S. air base personnel, officials said.

Security was heightened at airports, subway stations and other public places across the capital, and the U.S. Embassy issued a warning to Americans that 'there is currently a heightened risk of terrorist attack in Brussels' although it had no indication of any American targets.

Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt said the government had information suggesting 'preparation of an attack.'

'Other acts of violence are not to be excluded,' he said.

The prisoner, Nizar Trabelsi, a 37-year-old Tunisian who played soccer for several German teams, was sentenced to the maximum 10 years in prison four years ago. He had admitted planning to drive a car bomb into the canteen at Kleine Brogel, a Belgian air base where about 100 American military personnel are stationed."

Over 400 Prominent Scientists Disputed Man-Made Global Warming Claims

This is just part of the amazing new study that has hundreds of scientists complaining about not being heard on the climate change debate. It turns out the number of scientists who dispute man made global warming out number the number of those who blame mankind. It also discusses the way that the scientists who blame mankind have intimidated the other scientists into silence.

You might want to send this to all of your favorite followers of Gore. If they can read the big words.

.: U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works :: Minority Page :.: "This new report details how teams of international scientists are dissenting from the UN IPCC’s view of climate science. In such nations as Germany, Brazil, the Netherlands, Russia, New Zealand and France, nations, scientists banded together in 2007 to oppose climate alarmism. In addition, over 100 prominent international scientists sent an open letter in December 2007 to the UN stating attempts to control climate were “futile.” (LINK)

Paleoclimatologist Dr. Tim Patterson, professor in the department of Earth Sciences at Carleton University in Ottawa, recently converted from a believer in man-made climate change to a skeptic. Patterson noted that the notion of a “consensus” of scientists aligned with the UN IPCC or former Vice President Al Gore is false. “I was at the Geological Society of America meeting in Philadelphia in the fall and I would say that people with my opinion were probably in the majority.”

This new committee report, a first of its kind, comes after the UN IPCC chairman Rajendra Pachauri implied that there were only “about a dozen' skeptical scientists left in the world. (LINK) Former Vice President Gore has claimed that scientists skeptical of climate change are akin to “"

France has grown increasingly impatient with Syria, particularity over its intervention in Lebanese politics and its alleged involvement in political assassinations in the country.

Sarkozy spoke with Assad on several occasions recently in order to bring about a solution to the crisis over the Lebanese presidency, but it appears that his patience is now wearing thin. 'I spoke to him three times recently and I spoke with him clearly and honestly,' said Sarkozy.

Offended Muslim Syndrome & Self-Help Support Groups

This should be required reading among counterterror leaders and politicians who must work with Muslims.

Groupthink :: View topic - Offended Muslim Syndrome & Self-Help Support Groups: "Following the misery inflicted on Islam by a toy bear that ended up with calls for the execution of an English woman, more Muslims are stepping forward with stories of long-suppressed emotional trauma imposed on them by so-called reality. This has led to the creation of support groups and social networks that help followers of the Prophet Mohammed cope with the agony of learning about life outside of their immediate environment, offering assistance with technical resources, practical guidance, and strategies for early intervention and punishment of those who offend Islam."

“Everybody was targeted, but the Americans took precedence.”

Family Security Matters: "MEMRI transcribes an interview with a person claiming to be a former leader of al Qaeda in Iraq. Several things are striking. One is the rather striking disregard for human life, and the assumption in the discussion that one human being (if of the proper Muslim stripe) can and should kill everyone else. There is no wavering on this, as seen in the response about whom the Islamists are targeting:

“Everybody was targeted, but the Americans took precedence.”

Interviewer: “Who is ‘everybody’?”

Jawhar: “Whoever fights against ‘there is no god but Allah.’ Is there anyone who defends the Americans any better than them? The infidels are one and the same. An infidel is an infidel – whether he is a Palestinian, a Jew, or an Argentinean. The infidels are one and the same, while an American Muslim is a Muslim. So what’s the problem? What, an Iraqi who is an apostate and who helps the Americans should be treated like a VIP? He is worse than the Americans.”

It is also interesting to note the claim not to hold Iraqis for ransom, which would be against Islamic law. Unfortunately, that means they are usually killed."

Achalpur Riots

Why do Muslims around the world feel the need to kill? Why do Media around the world fear to tell the truth? What is it about Islam?

Achalpur Riots: "Achalpur Riots: Kashmir in Maharashtra
Photo Evidence of Truth

On 23 October 2007, at Achalpur in Amaravati district (Maharashtra), fanatic Muslims pelted stones from a mosque at the immersion procession of Sree Durga Devi all of a sudden. It is noteworthy that Riot started by Muslims was pre-planned. The pseudo-secular media has ignored this carnage of Hindus by just mentioning the word 'Riots'. Still our secular Government has just declared small financial aid. No serious legal action has been taken. The horrified Hindus have yet not dared to return to their homes & are staying in camps. Hence, we want to bring the real truth of Achalpur to you, the common man because if you ignore it now, tomorrow these Jihadis will be at your doorstep."

Homeland Insecurity: Terrorist Fundraising in the Heartland

How do things like this happen? You would think that the State Department was working for the terrorists instead of for America! Can we arrest the people who issued this visa as traitors?

Pajamas Media: Homeland Insecurity: Terrorist Fundraising in the Heartland: "Nearly 15 years after the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and 6 years after 9/11, the federal agencies responsible for our domestic security against terrorism appear to be entirely unaware, unequipped and unconcerned about the continued operations of Islamic terrorists inside the US.

Exhibit A in support of this thesis is the recent fundraising visit to the US by major Somali terrorist leader Zakaria Mahmoud Haji-Abdi. Abdi is deputy chairman of the Eritrean-based Alliance for the Re-Liberation of Somalia (ARS). The ARS is organizationally integrated with the al-Qaeda-backed Islamic Courts Union (ICU), which is waging the deadly terrorist insurgency in Somalia against the UN and US recognized Transnational Federal Government (TFG). The insurgency is responsible for the violence that has caused the deaths of nearly 6,000 Somalis this year in Mogadishu alone and forced at least another half million refugees to flee from there.

Abdi was the keynote speaker at a fundraising event and conference hosted by the United Somali Diaspora and held at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Minneapolis on November 24. An article published the following day by SomaliTalk (in Somali) features numerous pictures of the event, documenting Abdi’s attendance. (Minneapolis is home to the largest Somali population in the country.) A follow-up conference was held th"

DEBKAfile - DEBKAfile Reports: British PM plays up Afghan gain to divert attention from debacle in S. Iraq: "After four days of heavy fighting, Afghan National army and international forces covered by US and British marines entered the outskirts of the strategic town of Musa Qala in northern Helmand, south of Kabul, Monday, Dec. 10. This was the moment that British premier Gordon Brown decided to head for Helmand and Kabul from southern Iraq, after his announcement there that “The war in Iraq is over.” He said that all British troops will be home by the spring of 2008, and the UK will hand Basra province over to Iraqi control in the next two weeks, leaving the last 2,500 British troops in place...
In southern Iraq, 1,430 miles West of Helmand Province, the British army’s situation is less happy.

US strategists and officers remark that Brown's announcement of a drawdown of British forces - because, he said, the Iraq war is over - was a backhanded admission that they had been defeated in their effort to secure southern Iraq against Shiite militias."

The recent national intelligence estimate that concluded that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003 is just about the stupidest intelligence assessment I have ever read.

I am glad that the Iraqi people can now enjoy an almost normal life. Those fanatics are dying away, literally. It is time for healing to begin.

Iraq was a festering sore, the US put on a bandage that was not applied properly and the infection got worse. Now the wound is healing. The Surge of 'antibiotics' stabilized the situation so that the sore is healing properly. There are still some of the virus floating around, but if the bandage and the medicine continue to work, then the virus should not be able to rebound and damage the healing body of Iraq. If the medicine is stopped too soon then the virus might be able to kill this weak young country.

Democrats, the Party of the People, want this young country to die. Republicans, the Party of the Republic, want Iraq to flourish and provide a stable base for the other Middle Eastern countries. Moderates want the world to be safe and at quiet - not that it ever has been, but we can all dream.

Iraqis begin to emerge from the dark - Telegraph: "Three years after kidnappings, a car bomb and threats from religious extremists brought the curtain down, the theatre's players have at last deemed it safe to tread its dusty boards once again. Their play, which tells the story of those dreadful times, is just one of many signs that life in Baghdad may be finally returning to normal. 'For years we lived in danger, because the religious extremists disapproved of people dancing and performing on stage,' said the theatre's dance instructor Hannah Abdullah, 38, as she put a mixed troupe through their paces in the darkened auditorium. 'Three of our dancers were kidnapped for that reason, and we could only perform outside of the country. But now things are better. The play tells about all the car bombings and killings, and how the mothers of the dead wept many tears. But it finishes with the sun appearing and everybody forgetting about the civil war.'"

‘Lyrical Terrorist’ Spared Prison

This 'lady' is sick. And the people who claim that this is only because she is a Muslim are sick, too.

Britain: ‘Lyrical Terrorist’ Spared Prison - New York Times: "Samina Malik, a 23-year-old Heathrow airport worker who last month became the first Muslim woman to be convicted of a terrorism offense in Britain, was given a suspended nine-month prison sentence and 100 hours of community service. Ms. Malik, who called herself the “lyrical terrorist” in online forums because she thought it was “cool” and posted poems with titles like “How to Behead,” was convicted in the same London court of possessing records likely to be useful in terrorism, mostly jihadist manuals from the Web. Many among Britain’s 1.6 million Muslims said she should not have been prosecuted, describing her actions as foolish and offensive, but not criminal. Before the sentencing, Muhammad Abdul Bari, the head of the Muslim Council of Britain, the country’s largest Muslim organization, told The Times of London that “many young people download objectionable material from the Internet, but it seems that if you are a Muslim, then this could lead to terrorist charges, even if you have absolutely no intention to do harm to anyone else.”"

Afghan police:Taliban hangs teenager boy for so-called "spying"_English_Xinhua

The Religion of Peace. Ah. If only the whole world could be blessed with Islam so that we can all be at peace - like these kids.

Afghan police:Taliban hangs teenager boy for so-called "spying"_English_Xinhua: "A teenager boy was hanged by Taliban insurgents on Saturday morning in Sangin district of southern Afghan Helmand province for alleged 'spying' activities, local police said.
Helmand provincial police chief Mohammad Hussein Andiwal told Xinhua that the Taliban claiming the child was spying for the Afghan government and foreign troops had killed the innocent boy by hanging.
'Actually the poor boy has nothing to do with the government and foreign troops,' Andiwal said."

Nancy Pelosi Approved of Waterboarding

When she had nothing politically on the line, she approved, once she had to take a stand to help the terrorists, she took it instead.

Vote Democrat and see if we can save more terrorists for politics.

lgf: Nancy Pelosi Approved of Waterboarding: "In September 2002, four members of Congress met in secret for a first look at a unique CIA program designed to wring vital information from reticent terrorism suspects in U.S. custody. For more than an hour, the bipartisan group, which included current House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), was given a virtual tour of the CIA’s overseas detention sites and the harsh techniques interrogators had devised to try to make their prisoners talk. Among the techniques described, said two officials present, was waterboarding, a practice that years later would be condemned as torture by Democrats and some Republicans on Capitol Hill. But on that day, no objections were raised. Instead, at least two lawmakers in the room asked the CIA to push harder, two U.S. officials said. “The briefer was specifically asked if the methods were tough enough,” said a U.S. official who witnessed the exchange."

Imam's daughter in hiding after her conversion to Christianity sparked death threats | the Daily Mail

The Religion of Peace is afraid of people who leave it?

Why? What are they afraid of?

Imam's daughter in hiding after her conversion to Christianity sparked death threats | the Daily Mail: "The daughter of a British imam is living under police protection after receiving death threats from her father for converting to Christianity. The 31-year-old, whose father is the leader of a mosque in Lancashire, has moved house an astonishing 45 times after relatives pledged to hunt her down and kill her. The British-born university graduate, who uses the pseudonym Hannah for her own safety, said she renounced the Muslim faith to escape being forced into an arranged marriage when she was 16. She has been in hiding for more than a decade but called in police only a few months ago after receiving a text message from her brother. In it, he said he would not be held responsible for his actions if she failed to return to Islam."

Gunman Opens Fire Inside Colorado Christian Missionary Center

FOXNews.com - Two Dead, Two Wounded, After Gunman Opens Fire Inside Colorado Christian Missionary Center - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News: "The manhunt for a gunman who killed two people and wounded two others when he opened fire inside a Christian missionary training facility near Denver dragged on Sunday, as police appealed to the public for help catching a killer on the loose. The shooter entered a dormitory on the campus of Faith Bible Church, a Youth With a Mission training facility for Christian missionaries, in Arvada, Colo., a Denver suburb, at about 12:30 a.m. Sunday and shot four people, killing two of them, before fleeing on foot.
The gunman, described by witnesses as a white male in his twenties wearing a dark skull cap and jacket, who may also have had a beard and eye glasses, remained at large, Arvada Police spokeswoman Susan Medina told Fox News."

Iran's Ramazan Corps and the ratlines into Iraq - The Long War Journal

Iran's Ramazan Corps and the ratlines into Iraq - The Long War Journal: "Tribal militias in Wasit province formed to help secure the Iranian border. 'The leader of the Migasees tribe here in Wasit province, acknowledged tribal leaders have discussed creating a brigade of young men trained by the Americans to bolster local security as well as help patrol the border with Iran,' the Associated Press reported. Tribal militias are forming in Maysan and Basrah provinces, Multination Forces Iraq told The Long War Journal in a recent inquiry on the status of the Concerned Local Citizens forces currently forming nationwide.
Iran’s complicity with the Iraqi insurgency has been a problem since the Coalition invasion of Iraq in March 2003. It was only in late 2006 that the US began to address this problem seriously. Whether Iranian intervention in Iraq is increasing, decreasing, or unchanged, Coalition and Iraqi forces must continue military and counterterrorism operations against the Ramazan Corps inside Iraq. While there have been several reports of Coalition special forces conducting raids inside Iran these accounts are unconfirmed. The Iraqi and Coalition governments must continue to pressure Iran both militarily and diplomatically to halt its terror operations inside Iraq in order for the central government to gain stronger control of the security of the country as a whole."

Hitler in modern middle east

PMW - Latest Bulletins: "This text is just part of the official Palestinian radio Ramadan quiz that was rebroadcast this past week, whose hero was Hitler. The full broadcast presents Hitler heroically, detailing his 2 Medals' of Honor in World War 1, his rise to power, his launching of World War 2 and specifies country after country that he conquered. His victories in 1940 are coined 'his golden year', while his defeat and death are coined: 'his bitter end.' Not surprisingly, though citing his victories and 'bitter' fall in great detail, the Holocaust is not mentioned. This is consistent with Palestinian education in general which erases the Holocaust from history. See recent full PMW report and bulletin on new 12th grade Palestinian history schoolbook, in which many pages are dedicated to the history of World War 2 and even to Nazi racism, but neither Jews nor the Holocaust are mentioned."

Flaws in the Iran Report

John Bolton comes out firing with both barrels! If you believed this NIE, after reading this you will have doubts. Why WAS the National Intelligence Estimate written by diplomats instead of intelligence analysts? Why was this handled by people who all dislike to upset terrorists? Something smells like Clinton around here...

Collactive: GIYUS.org - Flaws in the Iran Report: "Rarely has a document from the supposedly hidden world of intelligence had such an impact as the National Intelligence Estimate released this week. Rarely has an administration been so unprepared for such an event. And rarely have vehement critics of the 'intelligence community' on issues such as Iraq's weapons of mass destruction reversed themselves so quickly. All this shows that we not only have a problem interpreting what the mullahs in Tehran are up to, but also a more fundamental problem: Too much of the intelligence community is engaging in policy formulation rather than 'intelligence' analysis, and too many in Congress and the media are happy about it. President Bush may not be able to repair his Iran policy (which was not rigorous enough to begin with) in his last year, but he would leave a lasting legacy by returning the intelligence world to its proper function."

U.S. Intel Possibly Duped by Iran

I am glad that so many people have seen the 'flaws', if not outright lies, in this NIE. Read this to see many of them pointed out!

Newsmax.com - U.S. Intel Possibly Duped by Iran: "The NIE opined that the new assessment leads to the policy conclusion that the United States should offer “some combination of threats of intensified international scrutiny and pressures, along with opportunites,” in order to lock in Iranian good behavior. This carrot and stick approach has been the State Department’s preferred policy for the past 27 years, and has only strengthened the resolve of Iran’s leaders to continue defying the United States. “Those [countries that] assume that decaying methods such as psychological war, political propaganda and the so-called economic sanctions would work and prevent Iran's fast drive toward progress are mistaken,' Ahmadinejad said in Tehran in September at a military parade. By “progress” Ahmadinejad was referring to Iran’s recently-declared success at enriching uranium."

Israeli-Arab men brutally rape 'dirty Jew'

Yes, the Pallys need a state, just to lock them away in. A huge jail with three walls and a partial roof. Let them head into Arab lands if they want, or fire rockets into Arab lands. The Arabs won't tolerate this kind of stupidity!

Israeli-Arab men brutally rape 'dirty Jew': "A group of young Israeli-Arab men recently attacked and raped two intoxicated Jewish teenage girls near the coastal city of Netanya, the Israeli police released for publication on Sunday. The shocking attack took place two weeks ago, when the six Arab men happened upon the two Jewish girls as they sat drinking late at night in a public square in Netanya. According to Ynet, the girls resisted the men's advances, but were soon after were compelled, either physically or due to their inebriated state, to enter their assailants' vehicle. The girls were then driven to a nearby beach where one managed to escape or avoid being raped. The second girl was not so lucky, and though nearly unconscious, was beaten, raped and sodomized repeatedly by the young Arabs as they called her a 'dirty Jew.' All six men have reportedly been arrested, and at least one has confessed to the attack after being presented with DNA evidence connecting him to the crime."

Peacekeeping: The Best of Intentions

Great article! Read the full thing.

Peacekeeping: The Best of Intentions: "NGOs (Non-Government Organizations) are increasingly under fire, often by the very people they are attempting to help. The disaster zones in many parts of the world are becoming impossible for even charity organizations to operate in. The level of violence continues to rise, and NGOs are more frequently victims rather than helpers. The NGOs want some protection, and they are not getting it.
The NGOs are upset that wealthy nations aren't doing more. The NGOs are in turn criticized for not noticing what happened when governments tried to intercede in places like Somalia, Afghanistan, Kosovo and Iraq. Nothing but abuse from the international community. The NGOs also ignore the fact that they were allowed to proliferate because many of those wealthy countries preferred to subsidize energetic volunteers (NGOs) to do the good works in these disaster zones, rather than send surly government employees. But many of the places where NGOs end up are increasingly seen as lost causes, with NGOs providing hospice care, until the old order finally dies, and something newer, and better arises out of the ashes. The NGOs don't like where this is going."

Koran has AIDS solution

Well, it is hard to say that this method would not work. I imagine that killing people for getting AIDS would definitely slow the spread!

AKI - Adnkronos international Indonesia: Anti-AIDS condom campaign splits Muslims : "“We strongly feel that condoms can't prevent people from getting AIDS. The pores of the latex are bigger than the virus itself,”he told Adnkronos International (AKI), adding that in his view the campaign was harmful and morally wrong. “AIDS prevention should start by implementing Islamic laws and punishing rule breakers, infidels and those who engage in pre-marital sex. 'In Islam we normally throw stones at them,” said al-Anshori. The MMI is a Muslim umbrella organisation whose member groups promotes sharia law in Indonesia."

Thousands in Sudan Call for British Teddy Bear Teacher's Execution

What a nice peaceful religion. I can see how naming a teddy Jesus could be a powerful provoking of evil. Oh, wrong religion. I wonder why the parents of the child with the same name are not being killed? Such an insult! This is almost as bad as shaving!

FOXNews.com - Thousands in Sudan Call for British Teddy Bear Teacher's Execution - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News: "Thousands of Sudanese, many armed with clubs and knives, rallied Friday in a central square and demanded the execution of a British teacher convicted of insulting Islam for allowing her students to name a teddy bear 'Muhammad.' The protesters streamed out of mosques after Friday sermons, as pickup trucks with loudspeakers blared messages against Gillian Gibbons, the teacher who was sentenced Thursday to 15 days in prison and deportation. She avoided the more serious punishment of 40 lashes."

Muslims threaten bombings if mannequins are not removed

I guess mannequins should be added to the list of things that offend Muslims.

The Hindu News Update Service: "Garment shop owners in northwest Pakistani city of Peshawar are removing mannequins from their displays or covering them up with clothes following threats from militants. A meeting of the shopkeepers' association of Karimpura in Peshawar, the capital of North West Frontier Province (NWFP), on wednesday discussed the threatening letters from militants. The association decided to either remove the mannequins from shops or cover them up fully with clothes. The meeting was informed that 10 militants visited Shaheen Bazaar, a market for women, and asked shopkeepers to remove mannequins. The militants claimed the mannequins promoted obscenity, 'Dawn' newspaper reported today. The letter sent by the militants warned the shop owners of dire consequences if they did not remove the mannequins."

Pivotal US-Iraqi Deal Would Leave US Troop Presence in Iraq for Decades

Good news! The US promises to keep backing the civilian government of Iraq while it grows and matures. I wonder what the US political system would have looked like if the French had maintained a light presence to help with the political safety of the Americans?

DEBKAfile - Pivotal US-Iraqi Deal Would Leave US Troop Presence in Iraq for Decades: "US President George W. Bush made sure of a wall-to-wall Arab audience in Washington on Monday, Nov. 26, when, over a secure video-link, he signed a deal in principle with Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki for an “enduring” US military presence in Iraq. Iraqi officials foresaw a long-term presence of 50,000 US troops - down from the current 170,000."

NATO's new Afghan battleground: YouTube - CNN.com

Amazing that the barbarians seem better equipped to fight the video propaganda war. NATO has always kept its operations secret and is going to have to be careful to keep its secrets from the enemies in this video war.

NATO's new Afghan battleground: YouTube - CNN.com: "NATO is acknowledging YouTube as its new battleground in the six-year war on Taliban fighters in Afghanistan, as the military alliance posts formerly secret surveillance and attack video. art.utube.afgn.ap.jpg Newly declassified video shows NATO forces destroying a truck in Afghanistan. The strategy aims to counter years of propaganda video posted on the Internet showing Taliban attacks on NATO forces which fighters use to claim that NATO's position in the Afghan war is deteriorating. 'The Taliban, who are literally cave-dwellers, are doing better than we are on a key battleground -- and that's video,' said NATO spokesman James Appathurai. 'They deploy with videographers. We don't. They have DVDs out in an hour, we don't.'"

Six Thousand Sunni Arabs Join Security Pact to Help U.S. Forces Block Terrorist Escape Routes

More good news. Fox does print a few items that are good, I wonder why the rest of the Media attacks them for this?

FOXNews.com - Six Thousand Sunni Arabs Join Security Pact to Help U.S. Forces Block Terrorist Escape Routes - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News: "Nearly 6,000 Sunni Arab residents joined a security pact with American forces Wednesday in what U.S. officers described as a critical step in plugging the remaining escape routes for extremists flushed from former strongholds. The new alliance — called the single largest single volunteer mobilization since the war began — covers the 'last gateway' for groups such as Al Qaeda in Iraq seeking new havens in northern Iraq, U.S. military officials said. U.S. commanders have tried to build a ring around insurgents who fled military offensives launched earlier this year in the western Anbar province and later into Baghdad and surrounding areas. In many places, the U.S.-led battles were given key help from tribal militias — mainly Sunnis — that had turned again Al Qaeda and other groups."

BoxBux Sux as Stix Hix Nix Xmas Flix

iowahawk: "Despite critical acclaim and massive promotional budgets, a wave of anti-Santa holiday pictures floundered at the box office over the Thanksgiving opening weekend, leading some entertainment industry analysts to question whether Hollywood had overestimated the American public's loathing for the Claus administration and a seemingly endless shopping season.

"I'm not sure what went wrong," said Jeff Bell of the MPAA after the release of the weekend Nielsen/EDI movie box office figures. "With all the griping you hear about the holidays, it stood to reason that people would flock to theaters for a chance to vent their hatred at that fat red fascist bastard. I blame illegal downloaders."

Whatever the reason, the financial results were grim.

"Kringle's List," starring George Clooney, Matt Damon, and Julia Roberts in a cautionary tale of rogue elf agents inside the North Pole's illegal Naughty and Nice wiretapping operation, led the pack of anti-Claus releases with weekend receipts of $68,500, for a $26 per-screen average. The film's take was only good for a #34 showing overall, just behind the limited arthouse re-release of the 1965 Don Knotts classic "The Incredible Mr. Limpet," but studio spokesman Rob Foulet said the film could eventually recoup its $180 million production budget through strong word-of-mouth and a new advertising campaign that downplays the film's elfin geopolitical psychodrama in favor of Miss Roberts' breasts.

"We're not saying she has a nude scene in the film, but we're not saying she doesn't," said Foulet. "That's up to the ticket buyers to find out.""

"(John) Bolton Pulls No Punches" (North Korea, Iran, Palestinian Appeasement Alert)

I love Mr Bolton, and I do NOT mean the singer. Even if he was at my last wedding. This guy is my favorite to clean up the mess at the State Department and even further. The Government Beaurcrats have messed things up in every department and need a guy who can shake things up. Can we name him the "Cleanup Bulldog" or something? Appoint him to fire a fifth of all government employees who are obstructionist instead of helpful?

"(John) Bolton Pulls No Punches" (North Korea, Iran, Palestinian Appeasement Alert): "The administration, he believes, is failing to achieve its most important goals. For example, President Bush pledged that the world's most dangerous weapons would not be allowed to fall into the hands of the world's worst dictators and terrorists. But for almost five years the United States has let the Europeans take the lead in a diplomatic dance to convince Iran to stop its nuclear-weapons development. That effort has been so heavy on incentives and so light on threats that Bolton calls it 'speaking softly and carrying a big carrot.' 'Engaging in diplomacy is not cost-free,' Bolton notes. The drawn-out talks have given Tehran time to master the intricacies of nuclear technology. Now, he believes, the only options left to prevent America-hating mullahs from acquiring nukes are encouraging a revolution - 'it is a fragile regime' - or 'targeted military force, a last resort.' Bolton also doubts that genuine progress is being made in negotiations with North Korea. He sees 'remarkable similarities' between where the Bush administration is heading and the 'agreed framework' President Bill Clinton negotiated with Pyongyang in 1994. That deal trusted but did not verify that North Korea, in return for generous rewards, would end its nuclear-weapons programs. North Korea is now promising to disable - but not dismantle - nuclear reactors. Bolton says that's "like taking the keys out of your car and putting them on the night stand.""

I'm Embarrassed to be White::By Mike S. Adams

Thanks Dr Adams, I have argued this for years, but you make it sound much better.

Townhall.com::I'm Embarrassed to be White::By Mike S. Adams: "For years on our campuses, blacks who do not agree with affirmative action – or any other mainstream “liberal” policies – have been labeled “in-authentically black.” By dubbing blacks “in-authentic” for other reasons - being too educated, too grammatically correct, or too family-oriented – “liberals” have half-succeeded in fulfilling their dream of white supremacy in the name of “diversity” and “tolerance.”

Now, by purging the white race of all of those who do not live up to the “liberal” ideals of white moral superiority, we can create a truly enlightened master race. Sound confusing and ridiculous? Welcome to UNCW (The University of Non-Caucasian Wannabes).

People at the Office of Campus Diversity tell me I need to learn to be more tolerant – especially of white “liberals” with a superior vision of the way things ought to be. But I just can’t tolerate white supremacy. I could tolerate a black supremacist. But I expect so much more from white people."

Amen.

Nearly 80 Taliban killed in Afghanistan airstrikes

Smugglers should die. Hey! They did!

Saloon cars? What the heck are they?

Daily Times - Leading News Resource of Pakistan - Nearly 80 Taliban killed in Afghanistan airstrikes: "Nearly 80 Taliban rebels were killed in a series of air raids by international military forces near Afghanistan’s eastern border with Pakistan, a provincial government spokesman said on Sunday. Around 65 were killed in a single airstrike on a “large group of Taliban” late on Saturday in eastern Paktia province’s Patan district, according to Din Muhammad Darvish, a spokesman for the local administration. Smugglers: However, the Afghan Interior Ministry claimed that the group was smuggling weapons across the border from Pakistan on horses and in two saloon cars. The ministry said that Afghan and foreign forces engaged them and called in air support."

Taliban burn aid agency food: officials

To protect future generations from the West, they want to starve the mothers to death. Interesting religion! Kill the mothers to protect the children.

Daily Times - Leading News Resource of Pakistan - Taliban burn aid agency food: officials: "Local Taliban militants seized and burned thousands of kilogrammes of food destined for pregnant women from a hospital in South Waziristan, officials said on Sunday. The food, mainly lentils and cooking oil, had been supplied by the aid charity Save the Children to feed pregnant women suffering from malnutrition. A Taliban activist said they were destroyed because “foreign NGOs want to harm our future generations.” An administration official, Tariq Salim, said the Health Ministry officials had not consulted him before distributing food directly to the women. Meanwhile, in North Waziristan, three people were killed and five wounded when troops conducted “retaliatory” strikes on suspected militant hideouts in Mir Ali, local officials said. Several houses were destroyed in the strikes that came after militants hit a checkpost with a missile barrage. One soldier was wounded in the rocket attack late Saturday, they said. afp"

Extremists call on supporters to adopt new non-violent Jihad

How about this! Islamists finally admit that jihad is VIOLENT! Something that has been lied about for years to fool the usual useful fools that Stalin liked so much.

AKI - Adnkronos international Egypt: Extremists call on supporters to adopt new non-violent Jihad: "Egypt: Extremists call on supporters to adopt new non-violent Jihad



Cairo, 23 Nov. (AKI) - The Egyptian Islamic extremist group, Jemaa al-Islamiya, has called on its foreign allies to adopt the new Jihad proposed by its jailed leader Sayd Imam.

The initiative follows the release of a new manual this week by Imam, who called for an end to militant operations and violence against civilians in Arab countries.

"We invite all the jihadis abroad to have no doubt about the new initiative that we are proposing from the jihadi doctrine of Sayd Imam," it said in a statement distributed to Arab media.

"This new jihadi doctrine is one of a number of initiatives that the new group has undertaken to reinstate security and avoid bloodshed in Islamic societies.

"We want to also avoid internal wars and divisions and return to our original doctrine. "

The group then thanked Sayd Imam, ideologue of the group, describing his initiative as "courageous" and stressed the importance of the new doctrine by someone who has written texts considered the basis for al-Qaeda.

Sayd Imam, a surgeon still known by his underground name of 'Dr Fadel', is currently imprisoned in a Cairo jail.

He was the founder of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad organisation, whose supporters assassinated President Anwar Sadat in 1981 and later worked with Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan against the Soviet occupation."

UN Watchdog Admits being duped

What a shock. I am surprised. Iran lied. wow.

Actually, I am surprised that IAEA figured out it was being lied to. I did not think the UN would ever figure it out. Or admit it.

Collactive: GIYUS.org - UN Watchdog Admits Failure: "The UN atomic watchdog said Thursday it was in the dark about Iran's disputed nuclear programme, as its 35-member board seemed divided on how to get Tehran to shed more light on its activities. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) 'has so far not been able to verify some important aspects of Iran's nuclear programme,' its director general Mohamed ElBaradei told a board meeting here. He specifically cited key questions related to the scope and nature of Iran's centrifuge enrichment activities, 'as well as those relevant to alleged studies and other activities that could have military applications'."

64 officers injured in Paris riots

This is an awesome video! It will help the terrorists to identify Americans so they can kill them. Are you an American?

Picking Al Qaeda Apart

Intelligence: Picking Al Qaeda Apart: "But first, al Qaeda has to try and 'go dark' and disappear from data stream that American intelligence monitors. This is difficult to do since the U.S. has such an extensive database of people who are, or have, worked for al Qaeda. Getting new recruits is very difficult, and getting foreigners into the country is more difficult now that Syria and Iran are really doing something to seal their border.
If al Qaeda cannot go dark and rebuild, they will have to abandon Iraq. That is almost unthinkable, because al Qaeda has, since 2003, declared Iraq to be 'the graveyard of the Crusaders.' To admit defeat in Iraq would be a tremendous blow to al Qaeda operations elsewhere. The organization is already weakened by the failure to carry out any more operations in the United States since September 11, 2001. Al Qaeda has been shut down in so many other areas as well. But it looks like Iraq may be the last stand, and the last straw."

Spying on foriegn terrorists still legal

JammieWearingFool: "A federal appeals court in San Francisco today handed a major victory to the Bush administration, ruling that a lawsuit challenging the government's warrantless wiretapping program could not go forward because of the 'state secrets' privilege. In a 3-0 decision, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the government, which had argued that allowing an Islamic charity's claims that it was illegally spied upon to go forward would threaten national security."

Reading the Qur’an: Abrogation

This is a key aspect of Islam that most non-Muslims do not understand. This lack of understanding is what makes so many people believe the Islamists when they claim to be the Religion of Peace.

Power Line Forum | Reading the Qur’an: Abrogation: "The Qur’an consists of a series of verses (after the first verse) ordered not by subject or chronologically but by length. However, Muslim religious scholars view the Qur’an as consisting of verses from two distinct periods; the early period when Muhammad lived in Mecca and the latter period after Muhammad and his followers fled to Medina (the Hejira).

The more peaceful and inclusive Meccan verses are from the initial years of Muhammad’s prophetic career when he had few followers and was trying to get the Pagans, Christians and Jews living in Mecca to accept his legitimacy as the ultimate prophet of the one true God, Allah and to accept the authority of the verses in the Qur’an as superior to and superseding the Torah and Judaism, the Bible and Christianity and Pagan beliefs. Muhammad was able to gather some few followers in his time in Mecca but, the illiterate Muhammad was not accepted, was disdained by the locals and had conflicts with them so, he and his followers eventually fled to Medina (the Hejira).

The much more violent and xenophobic Medinan verses are from the latter period when Muhammad’s started to use violence against his opponents, his military power grew and he could use that power and violence to force his opponents to accept him as a prophet and the Qur’an as supreme. "

Women and Christians cannot be president

The Religion of Peace and Bigotry.


AKI - Adnkronos international Egypt: Women and Christians cannot be president, say Muslim Brotherhood: "The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's strongest opposition group, has said that women and Christians cannot become president in Egypt. 'Women and Christians are not allowed to have access to the position of president of the republic,' said a representative of the Muslim Brotherhood in a report carried by local newspaper, al-Masri al-Yom. The highly influential Islamist movement, banned in several Arab countries such as Syria, Jordan and even Egypt, expressed this view as part of a draft of a new political programme revealed on Wednesday. Women and Coptic issues have been impediments to the group's party platform being accepted by Egyptians as a whole. Scholars and intellectuals have asked the group to modify its views on this matter, but this latest statement shows that the group has refused to change its previous stance, which is based on an Islamic fatwa or edict."

Jailed Terrorist: "I Want My Walkman" - November 6, 2007: "An al-Qaeda operative serving life in prison for his role in the bombing of American embassies in Africa contends that his rights are being violated by U.S. jailers who have denied him access to Arabic publications and religious books, limited his mail privileges, and no longer allow him to use a Walkman. Mohamed Al-Owhali, 32, claims that his incarceration at the 'supermax' federal prison in Florence, Colorado has left him so severely depressed that he stopped eating for months, forcing Bureau of Prisons officials to feed him via a tube placed through his nose."

Jihad has failed, former Libyan Islamist tells al-Qaeda

Good to see that some of the radicals aren't as crazy as others are.

AKI - Adnkronos international Terrorism: Jihad has failed, former Libyan Islamist tells al-Qaeda: "Jihad has failed, former Libyan Islamist tells al-Qaeda Tripoli, 7 Nov. (AKI) - A former leader of an armed Islamic group in Libya, Numan Bin Uthman, has written a letter to al-Qaeda second in command Ayman al-Zawahiri telling him that Jihadi groups in Arab countries have failed. 'Dear Doctor Ayman, as I told you during a meeting in Kandahar [in Afghanistan] in 2000, the experience of the Jihadi groups in Arab countries is failed and despite our appeals, the armed groups are divided and will not unite,' he said in the letter, a copy of which was published in the London based pan-Arab daily al-Hayat. The letter by Uthman, who is based in London, comes after an audio message by al-Zawahiri - an Egyptian medic - was released on Saturday. In it, al-Zawahiri announced that the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, had joined al-Qaeda. He also called for the ousting of regimes in North Africa. The Libyan Islamic Fighting Group first announced itself in 1995, vowing to topple the Libyan regime. It is the second organisation to allegedly join al-Qaeda after Algeria's Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC), which changed its name to the al-Qaeda Organisation in the Islamic Maghreb last January.

Palestinians in East Jerusalem Say: Please Don’t ‘Liberate’ Us

The Pally's are finally starting to admit that their leaders only know death. They are incapable of running a terror cell (see all the suicidal punks in prison?) much less a territory!

Commentary » Blog Archive » Palestinians in East Jerusalem Say: Please Don’t ‘Liberate’ Us: "Those feeling skittish about the city’s potential partition aren’t just Israelis – who traditionally take the position that Jerusalem should be Israel’s united capital – but also Palestinian Jerusalemites, who fear that their standard of living will fall if they come under the control of the Palestinian Authority (PA). “I don’t want to have any part in the PA. I want the health insurance, the schools, all the things we get by living here,” says Ranya Mohammed as she does her afternoon shopping in Shuafat. “I’ll go and live in Israel before I’ll stay here and live under the PA, even if it means taking an Israeli passport,” says Mrs. Mohammed, whose husband earns a good living from doing business here. “I have seen their suffering in the PA. We have a lot of privileges I’m not ready to give up.” Nabil Gheet, a neighborhood leader who runs a gift and kitchenware outfit in the adjacent town of Ras Khamis, also resists coming under the PA’s control. “We have no faith in the Palestinian Authority. It has no credibility,” he says, as his afternoon customers trickle in and out. “I do not want to be ruled by Abbas�"

The Amboy Times: The List of Things That Offend Muslims

This is a great list! I volunteered an item about Bluetooth being banned. What can YOU add?

The Amboy Times: The List of Things That Offend Muslims: "This list is a work in progress. I welcome suggestions. Anyone who has more items to add to the list, post them in the comments. The intent of the list is to illustrate the futility of the multicultural approach to Islam. Sharia law demands submission not only from Muslims, but from non-Muslims as well. This makes respectful coexistence nearly impossible with Muslims in Infidel lands. The examples below serve as reminder that submitting to one complaint or another only emboldens Muslims to seek to further their ultimate goal of establishing sharia. The West needs to come to grips with this fact and start standing up for our God-given rights of free speech, free expression and freedom of religion, lest we surrender those rights to a theocratic movement bent on removing our Constitutional freedoms that we hold dear. In this case, our tolerance will lead to intolerance."

Arab 'collusion' against Jews

Arab 'collusion' against Jews: "New research shows there was Arab inter-state 'collusion' to persecute Jews in Arab countries after Israel's creation, former federal justice minister Irwin Cotler and Jewish rights scholars will announce today in New York. While it is known up to 850,000 Jews left Arab countries after the post-war division of the Palestine mandate, the group is holding a news conference to highlight a rediscovered Arab League 'draft law' that suggests a pan-Arab conspiracy was at play."

Another Inconvenient Truth About the Global Warming Fraud

Another Inconvenient Truth About the Global Warming Fraud - Say Anything: "Here’s a series of four videos that once again debunk the whole entire global warming scam. My favorite part is in the first video the speaker shows how only by eliminating all but the most recent climate history can they propose a warming trend. He then shows how recent history has shown up over and over in the earth’s climate history. Strong stuff."

iowahawk: My Book to Help America

What a find! I want a copy of this book for every household in America. These are good advise for normal times, and excellent items during a war.

iowahawk: My Book to Help America: "A few months after Pearl Harbor a lesser known Munro Leaf title appeared: My Book To Help America. I happen to have have a copy in my oddball reading stash, which is presented below in its entirety. You may notice that that by 1942 Leaf was no longer an advocate of Ferdinand-style dreamy pacifism. I really don't have any further comment, other than noting that 1942 was certainly a very different time than 1936. Or 2007."

Casualties Continue Decline in Iraq

More good news from Iraq, so it is not heard about in the Media. I am glad that the President listened to his generals and stuck it out. One of the few things I like about him anymore.

Attrition: Casualties Continue Decline in Iraq: "American casualties (dead and wounded) in Iraq have been sharply declining since last May, when they hit 781 for the month. They were down to under three hundred last month. Casualties haven't been that low since 2004. There are many reasons for this decline. The main one is that al Qaeda and the Sunni Arab resistance has sharply declined. Al Qaeda is the most hated organization in Iraq, and most Iraqis will inform on these terrorists, especially the foreign ones. The Iraqi police are much more numerous, well equipped, and competent now, than in past years. That means Iraqi security forces can receive, and act on many of these tips. With about half the adult population of Iraq owning a cell phone, al Qaeda is having a hard time staying safe, and in action."

Arkansas Hospital Closes Intensive Care Unit Due to Drug-Resistant Bacterial Infection - Local News | News Articles | National News | US

How do the back woods find these bugs?

FOXNews.com - Arkansas Hospital Closes Intensive Care Unit Due to Drug-Resistant Bacterial Infection - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News: "A hospital in Arkansas has isolated its entire intensive care unit and isn't admitting new patients due to the outbreak of a potentially deadly drug-resistant bacterial infection, FOXNews.com has confirmed. All ICU patients at St. Joseph's Mercy Health Center in Hot Springs, Ark., have been isolated and forced to remain in the unit, said Dr. Vineet Chopra, director of the hospital's medicine program and the chair of the infection control committee. The multi-drug-resistant bacteria known as acinetobacter has affected six critically ill patients so far, four of them in intensive care and the other two in the general medical population, Chopra said. The six patients were infected by the organism and have been receiving intravenous antibiotics as treatment, according to Chopra. So far, he said, they're 'responding well.' It is not known how the patients were exposed to the pathogen acinetobacter."

'I know how to make you a Muslim'

Those darn Amish are conducting raids in Gaza now! I know that the members of the Religion of Peace would never commit a violent act like this.

'I know how to make you a Muslim' - Haaretz - Israel News: "Rows of plastic chairs where the grieving family receives condolences, a few dozen colorful plastic flower wreaths leaning against the wall at the entrance to the building, and a pale, clean-shaven young man in glasses, cautiously smiling from the martyr posters that cover the walls. But the usual image of Al-Aqsa mosque is missing from the picture, and the handwritten notes on the wreaths have quotations from the Bible, not the Koran. The victim belonged to Gaza's Christian community.

Rami Ayad, 31, was the manager of The Teacher's Bookshop, the only Christian bookstore in Gaza, operated by the Palestinian Bible Society. In addition to selling Bibles and Christian books, it offers computer classes and an Internet cafe. The bookstore has been attacked several times in the past two years. Internet cafes, pharmacies and music stores have been targeted as well, by what is assumed to be radical Islamic groups. Following the first attack in February 2006, a few days after the elections for the Palestinian parliament, in which Hamas won a sweeping victory, a note was found on the doorstep, demanding that the shop close immediately. The Bible Society reopened it a few weeks later.

According to Rami Ayad's widow, Pauline, her husband had not received any personal threats. But in retrospect, she realized there were signs that should have been taken seriously. Two months before the murder, a man entered the bookstore and asked Rami why he was not a Muslim.

"Because I believe in Jesus," Rami replied.

"I know how to make you become a Muslim," the man said, and left."

Palestinians fire 12 Qassam missiles Thursday to launch new “Gaza Offensive” and further escalate violence against thei

DEBKAfile - DEBKAfile reports: Palestinians fire 12 Qassam missiles Thursday to launch new “Gaza Offensive” and further escalate violence against their Israeli neighbors: "Palestinians fire 12 Qassam missiles Thursday to launch new “Gaza Offensive” and further escalate violence against their Israeli neighbors

November 1, 2007, 6:08 PM (GMT+02:00)

The Israeli air force went into action against the missile sites forthwith.

The Palestinian missiles were directed at Sderot, Shear Hanegev, Nir Am and Gavim, causing heavy damage but no casualties. DEBKAfile’s military sources report that all the Palestinian terrorist groups, including Fatah al Aqsa under Hamas command, are behind Thursday’s barrage and have vowed to follow up with “hundreds of missiles a day.” Their assaults were already redoubled this week against Netiv Ha’asara, the first Israeli border village to be subjected to concentrated mortar shelling.

Officers in the IDF Southern Command maintain that, whereas Israel should be liquidating Palestinian terrorist bases inside the Gaza Strip, it has let the Palestinians grab the initiative and carry their the war across the border to strike at what they call “Israeli settlements.”

Yet the Olmert government is still holding Israeli forces back from taking substantial action to root out Palestinian violence at source and break up their mushrooming war machine. (Later Thursday, Israeli forces discovered and blew up seven arms-smuggling tunnels running into southern Gaza from Sinai.)

Nothing but pinpoint operations are allowed and only brief IDF incursions no more than 1-1.5 km deep. Palestinian missile and mortar squads use this advantage to pull back as the Israel troops move in and go back to firing stations when they exit.

The word from Jerusalem is that Israel’s large-scale remedial operation in the Gaza Strip, promised by defense minister Ehud Barak, has to wait for the umpteenth time for yet another visit by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice Saturday, Nov. 3, and the ending of the international peace conference at an unknown date. In the meantime, Israeli civilians in some 40 Western Negev towns and villages must endure the punishment."

Teachers ordered to dress up as Muslims

You have to be kidding! This can't be true!

Teachers ordered to dress up as Muslims | the Daily Mail: "Teachers at a primary school have been ordered to dress up as Muslims to promote multi-culturalism. The West Midlands school is belatedly celebrating the Muslim festival of Eid and told its pupils and teachers to don traditional Muslim dress for the day. All 257 pupils, most of whom are Christians, and 41 teachers - two of whom are Muslims - dressed up."

Cleric: Women's Sexy Clothing Distracting Muslim Men From Sleep, Prayers

This is great! Take it off ladies! Drive this pig crazy!

FOXNews.com - Cleric: Women's Sexy Clothing Distracting Muslim Men From Sleep, Prayers - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News: "Malaysia's Muslim men are suffering sleepless nights and cannot pray properly because their thoughts are distracted by a growing number of women who wear sexy clothes in public, a prominent cleric said.

Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, the spiritual leader of the opposition Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, said he wanted to speak about the "emotional abuse" that men face because it is seldom discussed, the party reported on its Web site Wednesday.

"We always [hear about] the abuse of children and wives in households, which is easily perceived by the eye, but the emotional abuse of men cannot be seen," Nik Abdul Aziz said. "Our prayers become unfocused and our sleep is often disturbed."

Nik Abdul Aziz has made controversial comments about women in the past, including that women should stop wearing lipstick and perfume to lower the risk of being raped. Women's groups have slammed his statements, saying Islam teaches both men and women to be responsible for modesty. They say comments like these encourage rapes because it puts the onus on women."

Jury Awards Father $2.9M in Funeral Case

Good! Those scum make me sick. If I was the horrible vicious Right-Wing thug that I get accused of being, I might have to harm them. Since I am a God Fearing, Right Thinking American who believes that death is not a good thing, I will have to let them be .

Jury Awards Father $2.9M in Funeral Case: "A grieving father won a $2.9 million verdict Wednesday against a fundamentalist Kansas church that pickets military funerals out of a belief that the war in Iraq is a punishment for the nation's tolerance of homosexuality. Albert Snyder of York, Pa., sued the Westboro Baptist Church for unspecified damages after members staged a demonstration at the March 2006 funeral of his son, Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder, who was killed in Iraq. Church members routinely picket funerals of military personnel killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, carrying signs such as 'Thank God for dead soldiers' and 'God hates fags.'"

Iraqi Official: Kidnapped Sheiks Freed

Thank the Lord that these guys are free! I am also pleasantly shocked to read that the group refused to separate by religion and allow for another sectarian blood bath.Things are starting to come together! They just need more time to work things out.

Iraqi Official: Kidnapped Sheiks Freed: "A group of Sunni and Shiite sheiks seized from their cars in Baghdad have been released, said Maj. Gen. Mohammed al-Askari, a Defense Ministry spokesman. He declined to specify how many or give more details. Police and relatives have identified the tribal leaders abducted in Baghdad as seven Shiites and three Sunnis who were on their way home to Diyala province after a meeting with a government official in the capital. Police said late Sunday they had found the bullet-riddled body of one of the Sunni sheiks, Mishaan Hilan, about 50 yards away from where the ambush took place, an officer said, adding that the victim was identified after his mobile phone was found on him. The U.S. military on Monday said a rogue Shiite militia leader was responsible."
