Over reported invasion that never happened

I thought there was a strange sound to this invasion. I like that no one is correcting their mistake! The media is still trying to be perfect.

The Weekly Standard: "Yesterday's news from Iraq was dominated by rumors of a Turkish invasion of northern Iraq. The news turned out to be false, as Ankara, Baghdad, and Washington all denied the reports from two unnamed Turkish officials. Turkey has seen an increase in attacks from the radical Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) over the past several months, and has been pressuring the Iraqi and U.S. governments to conduct military operations against the terrorist group, which is holed up in the mountainous regions in the Kurdish provinces. The Kurds are adamantly opposed to allowing the Turkish military to conduct operations in Iraqi territory to root out the PKK."

Vancouver patient oozes green blood

HAHAHAHAHA! I have a strange urge to get some of this and overdose myself. This would be SO cool! Why am I so interested in this??

Vancouver patient oozes green blood: "While the lab worked, so did the operating team. The man came through the surgery well.

The next day, the lab reported it had detected sulfhemoglobin, a condition thought to be triggered by some medications.

'It's so rare that we don't have a perfect understanding how it happens, but some drug donates a sulphur group that binds to the hemoglobin molecule and prevents it from binding to oxygen,' Flexman explains. 'And that gives it the green colour.'

She and her colleagues believe the condition may have been brought on by the man's migraine medication, sumatriptan, which he was taking in higher-than-advised doses, though they can't prove it."

Woman Tortured, Killed Maid for Being ‘Lazy’

What a nice couple. I wonder if the parents of the students feel better with her removed from the classroom? If your maid is 'lazy' you fire her! This is stupid! Unless she was really a slave. You can torture slaves, and slavery is encouraged under Islam. I am sure that this poor girl was really a slave. I wonder if she was of African decent so that the Nation of Islam might condemn this horror?

Woman Tortured, Killed Maid for Being ‘Lazy’: "A woman schoolteacher, one of the suspects in the murder of an Asian housemaid in March, has admitted to her torturing the maid until she was dead.

The Saudi sponsor of the maid who took her to hospital and the sponsor’s schoolteacher wife were both arrested in Jizan in March following a hospital report about the death of the maid, whose nationality has not been revealed to the press.

According to the report of the Samita General Hospital in Jizan, a Saudi man brought in an expatriate woman who died shortly after she was admitted. The hospital report attributed the death to internal and external injuries.

The teacher told the investigators that she and her husband used to punish the maid in various forms such as beating, branding and locking up while denying her food and water for days on end.

The teacher said they resorted to crude methods of punishment because the maid was lazy and negligent in her work. The teacher said they had every right to make the maid work because they had spent a lot of money to bring her from her native country."

Is London's future Islamic?

This article is filled with so many half truths and lies that it should be in the fiction section of the paper, not the opinion! You have to read it yourself to get a laugh, because it is way to long to copy. Not worth it either! If it was not for the humoresque lies it would be a complete waste of space. Enjoy it for yourself!

Is London's future Islamic? - Features - London - Time Out London: "According to the 2001 census there are 607,083 Muslims living in London (310,477 men and 296,606 women). The majority of Muslims live in the east of the city and, by 2012, the Muslim Council of Britain estimates that the Muslim population of Tower Hamlets, Newham, Waltham Forest and Hackney will be 250,000. There are plans afoot (though no formal application has yet been submitted) to build the UKs biggest mosque – capable of welcoming 40,000 worshippers – near the 2012 Olympic site, a move which has prompted predictable outrage from some quarters. Consequently, Muslim disillionment with a reactionary and often ill-informed press is at an all time high.

But rather than fear the inevitable changes this will bring to London, or buy in to a racist representation of all Muslims as terrorists, we should recognise both what Islam has given this city already, and the advantages it would bring across a wide range of areas in the future."

American Thinker: The Threat of Bioweapons

A great article that is too long to post. Everyone should read this! I want ALL lawmakers to understand these points so they can think logically about them. Not that any will. Welfare is more important than public safety if you want to be reelected. Or so it seems.

American Thinker: The Threat of Bioweapons: "More so than chemical and nuclear research, bioweapons development programs lend themselves to stealth development. They are difficult to detect, can be conducted alongside legimate research on countermeasures, sheltered in animal research facilities within sophisticated pharmaceutical corporations, disguised as part of routine medical university studies, or be a component of dual use technology development. Detection is primarily through available intelligence information and location-specific biosensors that test for the presence of pathogens.

Biological weapons have many appealing qualities for warfare and their effects can be engineered and customized from a boutique of possibilities. Offensive pathogens are inexpensive compared to conventional weapons and small quantities can produce disproportionate damage. They have unlimited lethal potential as carriers and can continue to infect more people over time. Bioweapons are easy to dispense through a variety of delivery systems from a missile, an aerosol or a food product. They can be placed into a state of dormancy to be activated at a later stage allowing for ease of storage. Pathogens are not immediately detectable or identifiable due to varying incubation periods and can be rapidly deployed, activated and impossible to trace. The technology to develop biological agents is widely available for legitimate purposes and lar"

Why Fred Thompson? by Robert Novak - HUMAN EVENTS

This guy makes me want to vote Republican again! He denounces the huge spending by BOTH parties. He calls for securing the borders from "suicidal maniacs". I could vote for him as long as nothing horrible shows up soon. Anything that does not show up soon will have to be minor or minorly important to his job as a President. How? Because his opponents are all searching for dirt! Anything major will show up really soon or not at all.

Why Fred Thompson? by Robert Novak - HUMAN EVENTS: "Fred Thompson sat at the end of a long table in The Monocle restaurant on Capitol Hill Tuesday night for dinner with some 20 fellow conservatives, mostly journalists. He sent two signals. First, he sounded like a man who has decided to run for president. Second, his candidacy will be something different from other Republicans, in both substance and style.

This was one of the irregular sessions of the Saturday Evening Club, which is not a club and never meets on Saturday. The name was purloined from H.L. Mencken's Baltimore discussion club by R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr., editor-in-chief of The American Spectator.
Tyrrell arranges and presides over these events, always featuring a guest newsmaker -- usually a Republican presidential hopeful over the past two years. Former Sen. Thompson was the most intriguing of them because he has become a leading prospect for president even though he has not announced his candidacy and has no real campaign."

Security officials seek lessons from Iraq's chlorine attacks (4/11/07) -- www.GovernmentExecutive.com

This is an old article that just crossed my horizon. However, it gives some information about what DHS is doing about the chlorine attacks.

Security officials seek lessons from Iraq's chlorine attacks (4/11/07) -- www.GovernmentExecutive.com: "Homeland Security Department officials are ramping up their efforts to prevent attacks that involve deadly chemicals, especially because insurgents in Iraq have increased their use of bombs laced with chlorine gas.

'We see the use of chlorine gas and perhaps other lethal chemicals being used in attacks in Iraq [by] insurgents over there,' Bob Stephan, the Homeland Security Department's assistant secretary for infrastructure protection, told members of the National Infrastructure Advisory Council Tuesday.

'We are literally analyzing the living daylights out of these attacks -- the people that are executing them, the agents that are used, the methods that are being used to detonate them and the impacts that they are having,' he added. 'And we are building lessons learned and case studies as these attacks continue to evolve.'

The council, which is comprised of members from private industry, academic institutions and state and local governments, has also made it a priority to complete a study on how the United States can prepare for and respond to chemical, biological or radiological attacks.

The study and associated recommendations are expected to be complete by October, council members said."

Basque insurgent group ETA ends ceasefire in Spain

These poor old terrorists who refuse to admit they are not going to win are so pitiful. If they were not murderering and maiming, they would be objects of pity instead of manhunts. I hope they are killed soon so they do not live to see their final defeat.

RIA Novosti - World - Basque insurgent group ETA ends ceasefire in Spain: "Basque separatist group ETA said Tuesday it has called off a ceasefire with the Spanish government and that hostilities will resume at midnight June 6.

The paramilitary Basque nationalist organization, defined as a terrorist organization by the European Union, the United States and the United Nations, said the Spanish government had responded to its ceasefire, declared March 24, 2006 with 'arrests, torture, and the persecution of Basque activists.'

'At present, there are no minimum conditions for a negotiating process with the Spanish government,' it said in a statement published in the pro-independence newspapers Berria and Gara.

The Basque separatists also criticized the Spanish authorities for barring them from municipal elections May 27."

Radio station owner killed in Afghanistan

The motive is unknown? I think I know! Here is a quote I found on TheReligionofPeace.com :

The revered Islamic scholar, al-Ghazali, who has been called 'the greatest Muslim after Muhammad,' writes that the role of a Muslim woman is to "stay at home and get on with her sewing. She should not go out often, she must not be well-informed, nor must she be communicative with her neighbors and only visit them when absolutely necessary; she should take care of her husband... and seek to satisfy him in everything... Her sole worry should be her virtue... She should be clean and ready to satisfy her husband's sexual needs at any moment." [as quoted from Ibn Warraq]

KABUL — Three gunmen shot and killed a female owner of a radio station in northern Afghanistan on Wednesday, a few days after another female reporter was gunned down in her house, officials said.

Zakia Zaki, the owner and the manager of Peace Radio in Parwan province, was shot seven times by pistol and automatic rifle fire in front of her 8-year old son inside her house in the town of Jabalussaraj, said provincial Governor Abdul Jabar Takwa.

The motive for the shooting was not immediately known, he said.

“The people were happy with her radio station, and she was providing information for Parwan, Kapisa and Kabul provinces,” Mr. Takwa said.

Following the shooting, the gunmen jumped over the wall and fled, Mr. Takwa said.

Ms. Zaki lead the radio station since it opened after the fall of the Taliban in October 2001, he said.

Another female reporter, Shokiba Sanga Amaaj, was shot inside her house in Kabul on Friday by two male relatives, said General Ali Shah Paktiawal, the Kabul police director of criminal investigations."

'Syria ready for war'

I know I am tired of the Arabs and Muslims trying to exterminate the Jews. Anyone else tired of this?


WorldNetDaily: 'Syria ready for war': "Israeli security officials said Syria is preparing for a summer war. But they said there was an argument within the Israeli intelligence community whether the military build-up is for an attack or is meant by Syria to pressure Israel into vacating the Golan Heights. Some officials said Syria estimates the U.S. or Israel will attack Iran, and Syria will be drawn into a larger military confrontation by opening up a front against northern Israel. Also, the officials said, Syria may believe Israel will attack first and its preparations are defensive in nature.

The Israeli army is not taking any chances. The Israel Defense Forces Tuesday carried out a mock attack on a 'Syrian' village during a major exercise in the Negev. The Israeli soldiers besieged and occupied the village, designed to be similar to towns on the Syrian side of the Golan. Similar war exercises were carried out in Israel the past few months, including a mock attack on Damascus.

Syrian President Bashar Assad has multiple times told his state-run media the past few months Damascus is preparing for war. He warned Israel to evacuate the Golan Heights."

Former Gitmo detainee returns to a normal life in Pakistan

I am glad that this poor, innocent, victim of American tyranny is able to return to a normal life. It is always nice to see these poor Muslims leading a successful life again.

Daily Times - Leading News Resource of Pakistan - Editorial: Descent into nihilism and anarchy: "A hundred-strong group of terrorists armed with rockets, hand grenades and automatic rifles, assaulted the house of a government official in the Tank district of the North Western Frontier Province (NWFP) on Thursday and killed 13 men, women and children in an act of “Islamic execution”. This is another incident inside the settled areas of the province pointing to the diminishing hold of the government and state on its territory.

Tank used to be a part of the Dera Ismail Khan (DI Khan) district, but now exists as an independent district 40 miles from it and 200 miles from Peshawar, the capital of the province. The man whose house was attacked was the political agent of Khyber Agency, Syed Amiruddin Shah, who was not at home. (Tank as a settled district doesn’t have a political agent but a nazim.) His brothers were cruelly put to death, while one brother, Pir Atiqur Rehman, who lives in Karachi and whose controversial writings could have unleashed the attacks, was not present in the house.

The warlord offended with the family was one-legged Abdullah Mehsud, an old inmate of Guantanamo Bay released by the Americans some years ago. Mr Mehsud was connected to the Deobandi-jihadi seminary of Banuri Mosque complex at Karachi through his spiritual mentor Mufti Jamil who was killed in the sectarian war of 2003-04 along with other leaders of the Banuri complex. Convinced that the state was involved in the death of his teachers, Abdullah Mehsud kidnapped foreign Chinese workers from the Tribal Areas and ended up killing one of them."

JIHADI'S AIRPORT TANTRUM

This is an intelectual humanitarian? Who tries to kill the arresting officers after sending the terrorists materials to help them continue fighting? I believe it.

JIHADI'S AIRPORT TANTRUM By KATI CORNELL - International News | Latest World News | Current: "A Queens man accused of supplying military equipment to terrorists had a direct pipeline to al Qaeda's No. 3 leader and showed he was quick to turn violent at the time he was nabbed, attacking arresting officers in a London airport, prosecutors revealed.

Manhattan federal Judge Loretta Preska was quick to dismiss a bid for bail by Syed 'Fahad' Hashmi after the feds detailed how the accused terror supporter showed his true colors as he was arrested while fleeing London for Pakistan last year.

'He was extremely violent,' Assistant U.S. Attorney Lisa Baroni said, describing the outburst last June 6 at Heathrow Airport. 'He repeatedly shouted at his arresting officers that he hoped they would be killed.'

Hashmi, who was brought to New York from London last week after nearly a year fighting extradition, faces up to 50 years behind bars for allegedly providing material support to al Qaeda by holding military gear to be worn by jihad fighters in his apartment.

Hashmi shipped the goods - primarily rain gear - to Sheik Abdul Hadi al-Iraqi in Pakistan, an al Qaeda leader who was running anti-U.S. military operations in Afghanistan at the time, the feds said.

Defense lawyer Sean Maher unsuccessfully argued that Hashmi should await trial at"

Witness: Islamic charity work suspicious

HA! These little items described here DO sound a little suspicious. I am glad that someone has the guts to testify against these agents of Allah.

www.kansascity.com | 06/05/2007 | Witness: Islamic charity work suspicious: "A Muslim convert testified Tuesday that he grew suspicious and distanced himself from the leader of an Islamic charity after an associate returned from war-torn Chechnya with part of a leg missing from a land mine explosion.

Jeremy Collins, 33, said he worked at American Worldwide Relief that was headed by Kifah Wael Jayyousi, who is on trial along with alleged al-Qaida operative Jose Padilla and an another man on charges of contributing to Muslim extremist causes worldwide. All three face life in prison if convicted.

'It was just chaos. There was no relief work,' Collins said he learned from his associate. 'There seemed to be more fighting than relief work.'

Collins' testimony focuses on Jayyousi's years in San Diego, well before Padilla, a U.S. citizen held for 3 1/2 years as an enemy combatant, came on the scene.

Questions about the organization also were raised when the group's $20,000 satellite telephone was shut down in early 1996 at the request of the Russian government, said Collins, who was the organization's then-vice president.

The Russians claimed it was being used by Chechen rebels, who are attempting to break free from Russian rule and set up an Islamic state.

'How did a phone get into rebel hands, and get shut off and not reinstated?' Collins said he thought at the time."

Arabs blame problems on 1967 war defeat

Fourty years after getting decimated by the Jews, the Muslim world is still unable to cope with it. It is good to see that they admit it! Now they just have to get past this defeat and learn to live with the rest of humanity. Finally.

Arabs blame problems on 1967 war defeat: "On June 5, 1967, Israeli warplanes destroyed 400 aircraft belonging to Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Iraq - most of them sitting on airport tarmacs. Egypt lost the Sinai Peninsula and Gaza Strip, Syria gave up the Golan Heights, and Jordan relinquished the West Bank and east Jerusalem.

Trying to minimize the defeat, Arabs have long called the Six Day War the 'naksa,' or 'setback,' but its impact remains a deep wound.

Egyptian columnist Wael Abdel Fattah wrote in the independent weekly Al-Fagr newspaper that Arabs blame the defeat for 'everything' - from 'price hikes, dictatorship, religious extremism, sectarian strife, even sexual impotence.'

'A military defeat, that could have been limited, has been transformed to an overall defeat, represented by regimes ... and societies that fear change,' Syrian writer Bakr Sedqi said in the pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat."

DHS Wants Cell Phones to Detect Chemical, Radioactive Material

This is a cool idea!

CQ Homeland Security - DHS Wants Cell Phones to Detect Chemical, Radioactive Material: "John P. Peters, president and CEO of Gentag, said he first began thinking about combining radiation sensors and personal detection equipment, such as GPS functions in cell phones, in 1996.

“We’ve been thinking of this technology for a long time,” he said. “After Sept. 11 [terrorist attacks], I said ‘Hey, we really need to expand this concept. . . . What you really want is to put inexpensive scanners out there.’ ”

In Sept. 2006, Gentag received a patent for a flexible, cost-effective detection system using “electronic devices such as mobile phones, PDAs or watches, in combination with new microsensor technologies.”

“Because of the broad and ubiquitous use and distribution of mobile phones and watches, the technology will maximize the chances of an encounter between the bearer of a modified personal device and a potential threat,” the patent says."

IMAO: Liberals Start to Realize the Troops Don't Like Their Support

The Left just gets more stupid. Do the freaks who cover their faces and throw petrol bombs at police, burn cars businesses, and whine about the 'police state' really think it is the Right that is violent? This deserves more than I can give it right now. Be back tonight I hope. Stupid Liberals...

IMAO: Liberals Start to Realize the Troops Don't Like Their Support: "Liberals Start to Realize the Troops Don't Like Their Support
Posted by Frank J. at 02:17 PM | View blog reactions

Kevin Drum, perhaps the most thoughtful of the liberal bloggers, urges Democrats into not fooling themselves that the troops appreciate the "support" of Democrats trying to force them to surrender. Of course, one of the commenters, on admitting Drum may have a point that "Support the troops by bringing them home!" is a hollow slogan, then refers to the troops who like their mission as "brainwashed babies." Yeah, you tell that to a Marine to his face.

In somewhere between reality and fantasy, Meteor Blades, a front page poster at The Daily Kos, talks about how liberals in the blogosphere are putting together their vast brain power (theoretically enough to light a red LED) to theorize on the possibility of right-wing violence should a Democrat be elected president in 2008 (I would think violence would be more likely with an evil Republican government willing to look the other way as we right-wingers celebrate our win with an orgy of violence involving punching liberals in their dumb monkey faces until no dumb monkey face is left unpunched). Digby (I know I've run into that idiot before, but am too lazy to Google my own webpage), theorizes that much of the violence could come from veterans who don't appreciate the Democrats brining them home. He writes:

We will also, sadly, see veterans involved in this. Aside from the PTSD they will come home to a world that isn't very understanding. How could we be? They've been in hell. I suspect that some of them will be attracted to the rightwing militia (or worse) unless the government makes some very aggressive moves to help these people out and provide every kind of counselling and support they can think of. The last thing we need are hardened Iraq veterans finding solace with the rightwing terrorists.

So, there's a possibility of what will happen if a Democrat win the presidency: he or she will realize that running away from Iraq will actually be an untenable position and will try and get the Democratty base behind it by saying, "As long as the troops are over in Iraq, they won't use their civilian killing skills on us!"

Could you imagine what an outbreak of violence against the Kwazy Kos Kids would be like? These are people whose current favorite is John Edwards, a prissy little girl trapped in a man's body. What kind of bed-wetter could actually vote for that guy? The battle cry as we charged these people might as well be, "The streets will run yellow with their urine!"

Don't worry, though, Kos Kids, the troops and people like me have much bigger concerns than violence against goobers who spend twenty hours a day in front of their computer in their parent's basement. Unlike you, we actually recognize there are terrorists out to kill us.

When their dead, then we'll come for you."

New York Man Gets 7 Years for Ecoterrorism Arsons

We all need to remember that terrorism come in many forms. The Eco-nuts are a form that is often overlooked because people are intimidated by the Eco-movement. These people hate people!

FOXNews.com - New York Man Gets 7 Years for Ecoterrorism Arsons - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News: "A New York man was sentenced Monday to seven years in prison for his part in arsons claimed by the radical Earth Liberation Front.

Daniel McGowan was among 10 people who have pleaded guilty for their parts in 20 arsons from 1996 through 2001 that caused $40 million in damage. Responsibility was claimed by a Eugene-based cell of the Earth Liberation Front and Animal Liberation Front called The Family. Nine people have been sentenced so far.

McGowan pleaded guilty to conspiracy and arson in fires set at a lumber company office in January 2001, and at a tree farm in May 2001. He was also ordered to pay his share of $1.9 million in restitution.

Judge Ann Aiken told McGowan, the son of a New York City transit police officer, that he was a coward for donning a mask and setting fires to scare people rather than working positively to protect the environment.

Aiken said she doubted his remorse when a Web site raising money for his legal defense carried nothing from him denouncing his crimes."

BSO announce arrest in dragging death of local woman:

Another murderous Muslim who kills an American and runs away to the Middle East. Why are these people not monitored better? They are like a virus!

BSO announce arrest in dragging death of local woman: South Florida Sun-Sentinel: "Broward Sheriff Ken Jenne announced Monday afternoon the arrest of a man at New York's John F. Kennedy airport in the dragging death of Sandra Hall, 44, of Fort Lauderdale.

Sheriff Jenne identified the suspect as Abdelaziz Hamze, 24, of Coral Springs, during a press conference. He said BSO investigators were on their way to New York to interview him.

The suspect was pulled from an Athens-bound flight at JFK airport, at approximately 4:20 p.m., Monday afternoon, by agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It is believed Hamze, who is a U.S. citizen, purchased his ticket to Greece following the murder. Athens is a common connecting point for flights to Lebanon, where Hamze is originally from."

PAKISTAN Another Christian condemned to death for blasphemy, without any proof - Asia News

The joys of life under Sharia law. I am looking forward to the Democrats in the US regaining power and implementing this there!

PAKISTAN Another Christian condemned to death for blasphemy, without any proof - Asia News: "A Pakistani district court yesterday condemned to death Younis Masih, a Christian accused of blasphemy. The judges also condemned to man to pay a fine amounting to 100 thousand Rupees. Defence lawyers denounce a lack of evidence and accuse police of negligence for not having carried out a thorough investigation into the case.



Police had registered a blasphemy case against Masih on September 10, 2005: according to charges laid against him he allegedly made derogatory remarks about Prophet Muhammad and the Koran at during an argument with a group of Muslims, an offence punishable by hanging or life imprisonment according to state law.



Masih’s lawyer explains that “the sentence is based on nothing. Evidence based on the hearsay of Muslims only serves to have a man killed”. The lawyer went on to explain the dynamics of the case: “Christians had arranged a spiritual gathering at Chungi Ammarsidhu in September 9, 2005, at which a neighbour had objected”. Abdul Aziz, a plaintiff in the case began an argument with Masih “demanding that they perform Islamic rituals instead of Christian rites. The argument turned hot during, and two days later the charges of blasphemy were laid”."

Family Security Matters

Read this

Family Security Matters: "While political Islam may seem to be pervasive, it is not overwhelming. The untold story in this poll is the hope it gives to anti-Islamist Muslims. As noted, a plurality of Muslims - 49% - believe that mosques should stay out of politics. Interestingly, most of those are the foreign born Muslims versus the native-born Muslims who seem to have grown up in Islamist incubators without understanding the harms of political Islam, which so many immigrants lived through.

If we are going to win this global conflict, analysis of studies like this one should not be overly negative or positive and should be reviewed through the Islamist lens to understand the context—the root cause (Islamism), effect (radicalization), and treatments (a counter-jihad separating spiritual Islam from political Islam). A morally clear spiritual Islam can eliminate politics from the domain of faith, which should be only a personal journey of individual Muslims to God. This process requires ijtihad, which is a re-interpretation of scripture in light of modern day. It also requires imams and scholars with moral courage to denounce each and every suicide operation around the world as immoral, un-Islamic, and barbaric without any justification - ever.

Many Muslims already do - and most can understand - the argument that government abrogates religion, and that faith is no longer genuine faith wh"
