17 Pounds of Weapons-Grade Uranium Disappear in China

Thanks for letting us know!

I did not see anything on this when it first happened, which makes me wonder if the UN was notified? This is a lot of material! This could contaminate a large city if used in a dirty bomb. Can the world find it before it is used?

FOXNews.com - 17 Pounds of Weapons-Grade Uranium Disappear in China - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News: "Authorities said that 17 pounds of weapons-grade uranium disappeared and that a verdict in the trial of four men accused of trying to sell the radioactive material will be delayed until it is found, state media reported Friday. The report was the first public word that uranium was missing.

The defendants said they did not know where the uranium was because it had been moved around so much between potential buyers, the China Daily newspaper reported.

The uranium was types U-235 and U-238, both of which can be used to make nuclear weapons. Prolonged exposure to the radioactive material can cause cancer."

Iran and Lybia run the UN Conference against Racism

This is just totally stupid! I can not believe that US tax payers are paying the UN to hold a joke like this! I am so tired of the UN and its blatant stupidity. How much worse can it get?? I am a little afraid that they might show me...

Any bets on how much stupidity they will show next?

Jihad Watch: Iran on U.N. anti-racism committee: "Despite its numerous calls for Israel's destruction, and repeated denials of the Holocaust, Iran has been selected by the United Nations for a leading position in a committee that will plan the 2009 UN World Conference against Racism.

The planning committee, which will meet for the first time in Geneva on August 27, will be made up of an inner circle of 20 UN member-states, to be headed by Libya."

Politically Correct Nelson at Trafalgar

Go read the rest :))

Military Jokes Military Humor: "Nelson: 'Hold on, that's not what I dictated to Flags. What's the meaning of this?'

Hardy: 'Sorry sir?'
Nelson (reading aloud): '' England expects every person to do his or her duty, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious persuasion or disability.' - What gobbledegook is this?'
Hardy: 'Admiralty policy, I'm afraid, sir. We're an equal opportunities employer now. We had the devil's own job getting ' England ' past the censors, lest it be considered racist.'
Nelson: 'Gadzooks, Hardy. Hand me my pipe and tobacco.'
Hardy: 'Sorry sir. All naval vessels have now been designated smoke-free working environments.'
Nelson: 'In that case, break open the rum ration. Let us splice the mainbrace to steel the men before battle.'
Hardy: 'The rum ration has been abolished, Admiral. Its part of the Government's policy on binge drinking.'"

Hezbollah exhibits 'victory' over Israel - Yahoo! News

This is such a sham. I wish the Israeli troops had finished what the Pigs of Allah had started. I kind of want the Israelis to conduct a raid and capture this museum while it is around, but I know that the terrorists want that too! So, the best option is to ignore it and then incinerate the site after the abomination is removed.

Hezbollah exhibits 'victory' over Israel - Yahoo! News: "A replica of a long-range missile greets visitors, and posters mock Israel and the United States.

Welcome to 'Spider's Web,' a museum south of Beirut that has become Hezbollah's latest propaganda tool — showcasing what it says was a divine victory over Israel in last summer's war.

The museum exhibits war souvenirs — helmets, boots, ammunition and armored vehicles captured from the Israelis or left on Lebanon's battlefields. And it has gruesome photos of Lebanese civilians killed in Israeli airstrikes.

The exhibit has drawn condemnation from Israel. In Lebanon, there has been no overt criticism, although the war deepened divisions among Lebanese, many of whom opposed Hezbollah's capture of two Israeli soldiers that set off the conflict on July 12, 2006."

UPDATE: Iraqi boy saves US soldiers

Blackfive has much more detail if you go there.

BLACKFIVE: Have you seen this in the Media?: "The incident occurred while Soldiers from 3rd Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment, were talking with members of the al-Arafia Concerned Citizens, a volunteer community group, at a member’s house.

“I was about 12 feet away when the bomber came around the corner,” said Staff Sgt. Sean Kane, of Los Altos, Calif., acting platoon sergeant of Troop B, 3-1 Cav. “I was about to engage when he jumped in front of us and intercepted the bomber as he ran toward us. As he pushed him away, the bomb went off.”

The citizen’s actions saved the lives of four U.S. Soldiers and eight civilians.

Kane felt the loss personally because he had met and interacted with his rescuer many times before the incident."

U.N.: Diseases spreading faster than ever - CNN.com

This is the one section of the UN that I tend to listen to. Unfortunately, they are right. The spread of disease is also directly linked to the flow of Third World migrants to the larger countries. The Southwestern US is getting a lot of disease from the huge numbers of illegals allowed to bring their disgusting Third World sanitation and hygiene north with them. Control the flow of migrants and that will help control the flow of diseases.

U.N.: Diseases spreading faster than ever - CNN.com: "In its annual World Health Report, the United Nations agency warned there was a good possibility that another major scourge like AIDS, SARS or Ebola fever with the potential of killing millions would appear in the coming years.

'Infectious diseases are now spreading geographically much faster than at any time in history,' the WHO said. It said it was vital to keep watch for new threats like the emergence in 2003 of SARS, or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, which spread from China to 30 countries and killed 800 people.

'It would be extremely naive and complacent to assume that there will not be another disease like AIDS, another Ebola, or another SARS, sooner or later,' the report warned."

Pirates free crew, ransom paid

This is why Special Operations forces were created. I suspect that the Danes have no way to really project themselves into this area and free the hostages, but the French and Americans do. Why would they pay the money to the terrorists rather than to an elite team that can free them and kill the bad guys?

I wonder how much Blackwater charges for hostage rescues?

Pirates free crew, ransom paid - CNN.com: "Somali pirates released the crew of a hijacked Danish cargo ship after receiving a ransom payment, Denmark's government said Wednesday.

Pirates are rife off Somalia's coast. U.S. Navy patrols often check on suspected vessels.

The pirates, who seized the Danica White in June, handed it over Wednesday to a French warship, where the five crew members were undergoing a medical evaluation, a senior Danish Foreign Ministry official said."

72 goat reward in paradise

HA!

In the Crosshairs » 72 goat reward in paradise: "The boys are 18-20 years old and former Northern Alliance soldiers for more than 6 years each. They had fought the Taliban and now were security for the NGOs. Sam spent almost his entire time in Kabul with these guys and in classic Special Forces fashion built rapport and pretty soon they were talking about everything. The subject of girls came up and the fellas told Sammy the best thing about the Taliban falling was girls, ‘cuz for the six years they were fighters they told him there were no women around. Sammy asked the indelicate but curiosity causing question of whether the older men took advantage of them in that way, and they were completely non-plussed and said Oh yeah, of course that always happens it is just the way things are.” Sam was a little surprised they were so open about it and then one of them said

“There is even a saying about it.
For Children- A Woman
For Pleasure- A Boy
For Ecstacy- A Goat”

Sammy made him repeat it and they all agreed that yes this was the saying. So when I substitute 72 goats for 72 virgins, I am not being a smart ass, I’m simply trying to comply with the wishes of the dearly departed"

Iraqi stops suicide attack, saves four US soldiers, eight civilians | Indian Muslims

This guy sounds like a true martyr. I hope he gets true honors as such.

Iraqi stops suicide attack, saves four US soldiers, eight civilians | Indian Muslims: "An Iraqi civilian has saved four US soldiers and eight Iraqis by getting in the way of a suicide attacker, the US military command reported Tuesday. The man was killed in the blast when the attacker rushed on a meeting Saturday between the US soldiers and members of a form of civilian defence force in Arafiyah in south Baghdad, the statement said. 'If he hadn't intercepted him, there is no telling how bad it could have been,' one of the soldiers saved by the man's actions was quoted as saying. The US military also killed five suspected insurgents on Saturday in the southeast of the city, the report said."

Islamists celebrate 9/11 near Ground Zero

I could vomit. The list of Islamists that are being allowed to speak at this rally and parade is a Who's Who of terrorist supporters. This outing could be napalmed and not make me cry.

FrontPage Magazine: "On September 9, 2007, a pre-9/11 celebration of sorts will be taking place in New York City, as Islamists from across the Tri-State area will congregate there for the 22nd Annual Muslim Day Parade. If past parades are any indication, law enforcement will need to be on high alert, as the participants have been amongst the most radical in the nation. Will the city allow this denigration of a very somber day to take place, or will it remember its many victims of terrorism and shut it down? The parade is being run by the Muslim Foundation of America (MFA), an organization located in the Astoria section of Queens that was founded in 1983, around the time of the first annual parade. In actuality, both the MFA and the parade appear to be the same entity with different names, as the MFA’s website, since it was first created in October of 2003, has been devoted almost entirely to discussing the parade."

Final email of Glasgow airport bomber: 'I want to die for Allah' | the Daily Mail

He could not possibly be guilty! This is Bush's fault!

If the families are deported, maybe the other radicals will think twice and keep their stupid ideas to themselves. It might work!

Final email of Glasgow airport bomber: 'I want to die for Allah' | the Daily Mail: "The Glasgow airport bomber who died of burns in the attack sent an email confession to relatives, a security source claims.

Kafeel Ahmed, 27, who died in early August of 90 per cent burns just over a month after the bungled terror attack, is believed to have been the driver of the Jeep Cherokee deliberately driven into the terminal. And it has now emerged that there is damning evidence of the Indian-born engineer's dedication to terrorism."

Terrorists: Amnesty shamnesty! We prefer human slaughter

The Media and Left both refuse to believe that the terrorists might lie in order to keep killing. For reference, please see: http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Quran/011-taqiyya.htm

WorldNetDaily: Terrorists: Amnesty shamnesty! We prefer human slaughter: "The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group will not disarm or cease attacks on the Jewish state in spite of an amnesty agreement forged with Israel last month in which top Brigades members pledged to turn in their weapons and refrain from attacks, a senior Brigades leader told WND.

'We respect our leaders but will keep fighting until Israel withdraws completely from the West Bank. We are the resistance. We will keep fighting and never give up our weapons until Israel withdraws,' said Ayad Frehat, a Brigades leader in the West Bank city of Jenin."

Israeli army 'kills two children'

Wow! The BBC put the Pally quote in quotes instead of claiming it as gospel. Is the BBC learning that Hamas and the Palestinians never tell the truth? I wonder if that is even possible?

BBC NEWS | Middle East | Israeli army 'kills two children': "Two Palestinian children have been killed and three others wounded by Israeli forces in northern Gaza, Palestinian health officials have said. The dead boys, aged 13 and 14, were close to an area from which militants had been firing rockets at Israel, the officials said. Israel said its ground forces had fired upon two people who were seen near a rocket launcher near Beit Hanoun."

High School Cancels Virginity Tests...

This might be fun here in the West. I wonder if over half of the girls could pass?

Weasel Zippers: Sanity Prevails: Indonesia Cancels Virginity Tests...: "A controversial proposal to conduct virginity tests on female high school students in Indramayu regency, West Java, has been dropped following strong objections from students, parents and activists.

Indramayu Regent Irianto MS Syafiuddin came up with the idea last week after two high school students were caught having sex on video. The video, which runs for around three minutes, involves a 16-year-old female student and 17-year-old male student, both from state run senior high schools in the regency."

Leaflets said to warn of Iran move into north Iraq | World | Reuters

The Iranians keep messing around with mini invasions and shellings, but everyone ignores this. Why?

Leaflets said to warn of Iran move into north Iraq | World | Reuters: "Kurdish authorities in northeastern Iraq said on Tuesday they were investigating the authenticity of leaflets warning villagers to evacuate ahead of an Iranian military offensive against Kurdish rebels.

Hundreds of villagers have fled their homes in Iraq's mountainous northeast while others hid in caves after what local authorities said was days of intermittent shelling by Iran across the border.

So far there has been no official comment from either Tehran or Baghdad about the shelling."

Rape spurs call to amend French law - Yahoo! News

There are so many problems with this story! Why is a gay pedophile getting only 2/3 of his sentence? Why is a gay guy who likes to rape little boys getting Viagra while in prison? What are the French going to do to keep these animals behind bars for longer?

Rape spurs call to amend French law - Yahoo! News: "French President Nicolas Sarkozy called Monday for a halt to early prison release for some pedophiles after a 5-year-old boy was allegedly raped by a repeat sex offender who had been prescribed Viagra while behind bars.

The boy was kidnapped from his home in the northern town of Roubaix on Wednesday and allegedly molested by convicted pedophile Francis Evrard. The 61-year-old, convicted three times, was released from prison in July.

Sarkozy, on his first day back from a two-week vacation in the United States, drew attention to the case Monday by hosting the boy's father and meeting with ministers about amending prison laws to prevent early release for some convicted pedophiles."

U.S. actions against Iran raise war risk, many fear

I love the slant on this article! Diplomacy has had ZERO success in ending the confrontation with Iranian aggression, yet adding pressure to the mix is going to force a war upon the poor Iranians who want peace so badly.

Really? Who wants peace? What steps have the Iranians taken to show that they have ANY interest in peace? Is it the support of terrorists? Is it the constant work to build a nuclear bomb? Is it the lies or threats?

This is such a bunch of worthless lies and innuendo! If the Leftists really want peace, then start begging the Iranians to show some desire for it.

McClatchy Washington Bureau | 08/17/2007 | U.S. actions against Iran raise war risk, many fear: "As President Bush escalates the United States' confrontation with Iran across a broad front, U.S. allies in Europe and the Middle East are growing worried that the steps will achieve little, but will undercut diplomacy and increase the chances of war.

In the latest step, Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice are considering designating Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the elite military force that serves as the guardian of Iran's Islamic state, as a foreign terrorist organization."

Czechs make "big mistake" on U.S. radar: Russia - Yahoo! News

Two interesting points:
1) The Russians are reverting to international thugs. This is almost a direct military threat.
2) Reuters says that President Bush is not running, not that he is at the end of his legal term. This is an interesting distinction. It almost sounds like they are saying that he is a failure who is surrendering the position! The slanted coverage is to be expected from Reuters, so this is not a shock, just interesting.
,
Czechs make "big mistake" on U.S. radar: Russia - Yahoo! News: "'We say it will be a big mistake by the Czech government to put this radar site on Czech territory,' said Yuri Baluyevsky, the Russian military chief of staff, after meeting the Czech deputy defense minister, Martin Bartak.

He said the Czech Republic should hold off making a decision until after the U.S. presidential election, scheduled to take place in late 2008. Incumbent George W. Bush will not be running."

UAE father of 78 eyes new brides for century target | Oddly Enough | Reuters

Muslims are always claiming to be the fastest growing religion. Want to guess why? I have a feeling that logic and persuasive arguments to gain converts is not the reason. Maybe it is just breeding like livestock. Just my guess!

UAE father of 78 eyes new brides for century target | Oddly Enough | Reuters: "A one-legged Emirati father of 78 is lining up his next two wives in a bid to reach his target of 100 children by 2015, Emirates Today reported on Monday. Daad Mohammed Murad Abdul Rahman, 60, has already had 15 brides although he has to divorce them as he goes along to remain within the legal limit of four wives at a time. 'In 2015 I will be 68 years old and will have 100 children,' the local tabloid quoted Abdul Rahman as saying. 'After that I will stop marrying. I have to have at least three more marriages to hit the century.'"

Surge goes well, despite Iranian interference

A group of NCOs from the 82nd Airborne wrote a semi-defeatist article about how the surge is working and gave it to the NY Times, as mentioned on Blackfive. Well, This is one case of how the small view is off. Not saying wrong! They are the eyes on the ground and are getting a good view of their personal war! However, they are also condensed into a smaller area than usual and getting some hard fighting as they go to real war again instead of the smattering of ambushes they have been fighting against for the past few years. Not to make that sound easy, but IEDs do not fight, just kill. I am just glad that the US is finally fighting against an enemy with a face for the troops to smash.

Airborne leads the way? Then buck up and stay away from the reporters!

My Way News - France Offers U.S. Symbol With Iraq Trip: "Lynch said Sunni and Shiite extremists have become increasingly aggressive this month, trying to influence the debate in Washington before a pivotal progress report on Iraq.

He singled out the Shiite extremists as being behind rising attacks using armor-piercing explosively formed penetrators, or EFPs, which he said were largely assembled in Iraq from parts smuggled in from Iran. He also noted a marked increase in Iranian-rockets that have been increasingly effective against U.S. bases.

There has been an overall decrease in attacks against U.S. and Iraqi forces, as well as civilians, south of Baghdad, but 46 percent of those were being carried out by Shiite extremists, Lynch said.

'The real difference now is we've got to spend as much time fighting the Shia extremists as Sunni extremists,' he said."

Taliban manual guides terrorists

Where can I get a copy of this? I wonder if much of it is taken straight from SAS and SF manuals?

Taliban manual guides terrorists -- The Washington Times, America's Newspaper: "The Taliban has published its first military field manual detailing how to spring ambushes, run spies and conduct an insurgency against coalition forces in Afghanistan.

At 144 pages, 'Military Teachings for the Preparation of Mujahedeen,' is a minutely detailed how-to book on subjects ranging from tactics and weapons to building training camps and spycraft.

The guide, which is similar in its aims to British and American military field manuals, was obtained by the Daily Telegraph from a source in Pakistan who claimed to be close to the Taliban. Its cover bears the image of two crossed swords and the Koran, the arms of the Taliban's ousted government of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan."
