$1.2B B-2 Stealth Bomber Crashes in Guam

Ouch! Only 20 of them left, now. Well, it is the first crash ever, and the pilots survived, so thus could be a lot worse.

$1.2B B-2 Stealth Bomber Crashes in Guam: "A B-2 stealth bomber plunged to the ground shortly after taking off from an air base in Guam on Saturday, the first time one crashed, but both pilots ejected safely, Air Force officials said.

The aircraft was taking off with three others on their last flight out of Guam after a four-month deployment, part of a continuous U.S. bomber presence in the western Pacific. After the crash, the other three bombers were being kept on Guam, said Maj. Eric Hilliard at Hickham Air Force Base in Hawaii.

At least one B-2 bomber had taken off safely from Andersen Air Force Base but was brought back when another aircraft plunged to the ground.

There were no injuries on the ground or damage to buildings, and no munitions were on board. Each B-2 bomber costs about $1.2 billion to build."

Congrats to a great actor and a cool character! I think I would have voted for King Leonidas, myself, but that is personal preference.

'Israel's disappearance inevitable' | Jerusalem Post

Nope, they are not a terrorist group threatening to wipe out the Jews. Not at all!

May the Peace of Allah visit more of these guys. Soon. (Boom! )


'Israel's disappearance inevitable' | Jerusalem Post: "Hizbullah head Hassan Nasrallah on Friday said Israel's 'disappearance' is an inevitable fact.

'If Israel's attacks Lebanon again, we will wage war without any preconditions,' Nasrallah said during a speech in Beirut in honor of Hizbullah arch-terrorist Imad Mughniyeh, who was assassinated last week in Damascus.

'The disappearance of Israel is an inevitable fact. It is an historical process in the region which will come to an end in several years,' he said.

Nasrallah said Mughniyeh's death in a car bombing earlier this month in Syria was a 'pre-emptive' strike meant to set the stage for the assassination of more of Hizbullah's top leaders."

Michelle Obama thesis was on racial divide

Michelle Obama thesis was on racial divide - Jeffrey Ressner - Politico.com: "'My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my 'blackness' than ever before,' the future Mrs. Obama wrote in her thesis introduction. 'I have found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don't belong. Regardless of the circumstances underwhich I interact with whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second.'

The thesis, titled 'Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community' and written under her maiden name, Michelle LaVaughn Robinson, in 1985, has been the subject of much conjecture on the blogosphere and elsewhere in recent weeks, as it has been 'temporarily withdrawn' from Princeton's library until after this year's presidential election in November. Some of the material has been written about previously, however, including a story last year in the Newark Star Ledger."

Exiled Iraqi clowns cheer refugees

Targeting clowns? Where is that in the Koran?

Since my Koran does not fear clowns, I have to wonder if the BBC is leaving out something that the clowns did to insult someone. Killing for an insult is covered in my Koran. Encouraged even!


BBC NEWS | Middle East | Exiled Iraqi clowns cheer refugees: "Rahman, Ali and Safi are members of Happy Family Clowns group, established in 2004 to put smiles on the faces of Iraqi children.

A few months ago the group started receiving death threats warning them against continuing their show, entitled A Child is as Scared as a Country.

But the clowns kept going, until two members of the troupe were murdered.

This was enough to drive the surviving three to leave Iraq.

'We don't know why they targeted us. We were entertaining children,' says Rahman.

Like many thousands of fearful Iraqis, Rahman and his fellow clowns left their home and fled to Syria."

Muslim cleric protests new Indian visa for Bangladeshi writer

Joy, love, Peace and assassination - the Religion of Submission.



Muslim cleric protests new Indian visa for Bangladeshi writer - Yahoo! Canada News: "India on Thursday extended Nasreen's visa, set to expire this weekend, but warned the writer not to 'hurt the sentiments' of India's religious communities, a reference to the nation's 140 million Muslims.

The violent protests over her writing led to the army's deployment in Kolkata, and she now lives under federal protection at an undisclosed location in New Delhi.

Nasreen has said she is very depressed in hiding, describing her condition as virtual house arrest.

The 45-year-old author was forced to leave Bangladesh in 1994 after extremist Muslims accused her of blasphemy over her novel 'Lajja' or 'Shame', which depicts the life of a Hindu family persecuted by Muslims in Bangladesh.

She has been seeking permanent residence in India, where she moved after spending time in Europe and the United States, but so far the government has only granted her six-month visas."

ISLAM 'PIG' CLAIM

Why shouldn't Islamic texts claim this? It has been part of Islam almost from the beginning. Anyone who is surprised must not have read the Koran and the Hadiths. In todays world that is stupid.

ISLAM 'PIG' CLAIM - Mirror.co.uk: "ISLAM 'PIG' CLAIM
21/02/2008

A teacher yesterday claimed he was sacked from an Islamic school after complaining about books in which Christians were called 'pigs'.

Colin Cook, 58, alleged five-year-olds were taught from the texts that Jews were 'monkeys'.

The head of King Fahad Academy denied the claims but shredded the 2,000 books. Mr Cook told the jobs tribunal yesterday that pupils at the school in Acton, West London, praised 9/11.

And Mr Cook, of Feltham, said he finally got the push after 18 years at the school when he revealed cheating in GCSE exams.

He claims racial discrimination. The hearing continues."

Mohammed "Cartoon Crisis" Goes Global

Good stuff! Can't top this with my comments, so go read it your self.

Family Security Matters: "For a week, beginning on Sunday February 10, teenage youths rioted in Danish cities. The riots began in Aarhus before the controversial cartoon of Mohammed, founder of Islam, were reproduced in Danish newspapers. On Tuesday February 12, five individuals were arrested and three were detained. Danish intelligence agency PET (Politiets Efterretningstjeneste) announced that the three detained individuals had been arrested in connection with a plot to murder 73-year old illustrator Kurt Westergaard.



Westergaard's image of Mohammed with his turban as a bomb was among 12 which had been published on September 30, 2005, by Aarhus-based newspaper Jyllands-Posten. The drawings had been commissioned by the newspaper after author Kare Blultgen said he could find no artist willing to illustrate his children's book on the life of Mohammed.



The publication of the 12 images led to rioting and protests around the world. These protests grew to a peak during February 2006, and by the end of that month at least 50 people had been killed. The anger had initially been stoked by Palestinian-born preacher Abu Laban of the Waqfs mosque in Noerrebro, Copenhagen. He sent a delegation to the Middle Eastern religious leaders. This delegation carried three extra images which had not been printed by Jyllands-Posten."

Palestinians more than double missile attacks from Gaza in 2008

The world's ignoring of this constant barrage is criminal. When will the world, especially the government of Israel that is supposed to be protecting its citizens, finally protect the people under attack? What a crock! Stop the attacks and then negotiate from power. End this crazy one sided war!

DEBKAfile - Palestinians more than double missile attacks from Gaza in 2008: "HomelandHomeland FrontFront commander Maj.Maj. GenGen. YairYair GolanGolan reported to a Knesset panel Feb.19 that 400 Qassam missiles were fired at Israeli civilian locations bordering on the GazaGaza StripStrip in the first six weeks of 2008. This brings the monthly rate of fire to roughly 265 - more than double that of the last two years. If this rate is sustained, Sderot and its environs will be assaulted by more than 2,500 Palestinian missiles by the end of this year, compared a total of 1,500 missiles in 2006 and 1,150 in 2007. Already the average has risen. Monday, 16 Qassam missiles exploded on the Israeli side of the Gaza border causing heavy damage and tens of shock victims.

Golan presented the partial missile-shelter plan the ministerial committee had just approved for the targeted locations: a total of 3.180 fortified areas at a cost of app. $100 m, of which 2,080 will be installed in Sderot homes.

Sderot protesters again accused the government of systematic negligence in face of their long ordeal under missile fire. The allocation covers no more than one-third of the homes under threat. The parliamentary panel chairman reported that the director general of the prime minister’s office routinely absented himself from committee deliberations on this issue and had failed to show up again Tuesday."

Russia: The War With China

Good to see we are keeping ahead of the Communists and they know it. The Americans tend to be the best, even if we are losing our edge in our failing schools.

Russia: The War With China: "The recent American shoot down of a failing spy satellite, using a SM-3 anti-missile missiles fired from an Aegis cruiser, upset Russia. U.S. military technology has been the bane of Russian military planning since World War II. Back then, billions of dollars worth of U.S. military equipment was shipped to Russia, and a generation of Russian officers came away impressed at the casual (technical) competence of the Americans. During the Cold War, Russian planners were constantly in fear of new U.S. technology breakthroughs. These happened frequently enough to remain real to the Russian generals. Now this satellite shoot down just reinforces the feeling of technological inferiority. The Russians passed this attitude on to the Chinese, who tend to see the U.S. lead as more of an opportunity than as an obstacle."

An Email from Jennifer Griffin in Afghanistan!!! « GretaWire

This is a very cool story about a guy with one leg who loves the Marines so much that he refuses to leave. Go read the full story, you won't regret it.

An Email from Jennifer Griffin in Afghanistan!!! « GretaWire: "Dear Greta,

No blackberry service yet in Iraq so I grab some internet space anytime we get close to some marines. Just landed in Afghanistan at Bagram Air Base via Kuwait. A surreal landing into a frozen air base (Bagram) at 1 am in the morning. We woke this morning in Fallujah and formed a convoy of uparmored humvees and a large MRAP (Mine Resistent Ambush Protected Vehicle) for a slow journey by road to Baghdad. The Headquarters for the marines 1MEF in Fallujah is in an old palace like building that Saddam had built for the Mujahideen e-Khalq - the Iranian defectors who wanted to overthrow the Ayatollahs in the 1980s during the war between Iraq and Iran in which more than a million people were killed. The Khalq were the ones who got the intell from Iran a few years ago that uncovered for the IAEA the Iranian nuclear program. The Khalq seemed a bit like a cult when we first met them in Baghdad and were taken to desert training with tanks and women gunners talking of retaking Iran. It was so strange to be back at their base under such different circumstances - the last time I was there was 1996."

Cynthia McKinney Dons the Hijab and Goes to War Against the Traditional Enemy

The Green Party has always been kind of crazy, but this is a new low. What a waste of sperm.

Solomonia: Cynthia McKinney Dons the Hijab and Goes to War Against the Traditional Enemy: "Cynthia McKinney Dons the Hijab and Goes to War Against the Traditional Enemy

With the names Obama, Clinton and McCain sucking up all the oxygen in the room, I thought it only fair to give one of the smaller parties a little attention. Let's take a look at Green Party candidate Cynthia McKinney, whose campaign web site shows an endorsement from convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu Jamal, in one of her campaign appearances, as posted at the United for Peace and Justice web site. She begins by applauding the Holy Land Foundation defendants before moving on to excoriating the 'traditional enemy.' From the video intro:

On 02/02/08, Cynthia McKinney, the 2008 Green Party presidential nominee, speaks at a fund raiser of the Muslim Legal Fund of America (MLFA).

She describes the hostile takeover of American politics by pro-Israeli groups, aided by congress on both sides of the aisle.

She details the resulting corrosion of American society, a corrosion that represents a particular threat to Muslims and their civil liberties.

Judge holds reporter in contempt in anthrax case

The government needs to crack down on leaks! I am so tired of intelligence and legal leaks that the Media can blow out of proportion because they only have part of the picture and that part, taken out of context, looks bad. If I took a picture of your family at random times, what are the odds that at some point during the week I would find one that made you look bad? Would you want to have to explain that picture in a newspaper article?

I want to know who leaked this information as bad as Mr Hatfill does. I hope these reporters start to realize that having a confidential source is fine, as long as you can produce them if your story turns into a criminal case. Maybe we should make a special court to interview the confidential sources to prove they exist and to make the legal determination about forcing them into the open.


Judge holds reporter in contempt in anthrax case - USATODAY.com: "'Toni Locy is being punished for doing what reporters are supposed to do: making sure important information gets to the public about whether the government had the investigation into a major public health threat under control,' she said.

Dalglish also urged Congress to take up proposed legislation that would shield reporters from being forced to identify confidential sources.

'Toni Locy faces possible financial ruin for doing her job and doing it well,' Dalglish said.

Locy is one of five reporters Hatfill has subpoenaed to disclose government sources who identified him as a possible suspect.

Now a journalism professor at West Virginia University, Locy has argued that she spoke to a number of officials regarding the anthrax inquiry, but she cannot remember which sources provided information linking Hatfill to the government's inquiry during her reporting for USA TODAY."

Denmark: Honor crime count

I thought honor killings were a Middle Eastern anomoly? It has nothing to do with Islam. So, why are good honorable Muslims leaving the Middle East to get away from the horrible things they see there and bringing these horrible practices with them? This is as stupid as one can get! Leave the stupidity at the border.

Islam in Europe: Denmark: Honor crime count: "Denmark: Honor crime count

The Danish police have been following up on reports of 'honor' crime for the past year and a half.

The Danish police say that about every 3 days, a woman comes in to lodge a complaint about 'honor' crime. From the numbers advertised it looks as though reports aren't evenly spread throughout the year. It is hard to fully figure this out, since every newspaper report presents the dates slightly differently, but I tried to make some sense of it.

June, 2006 - August, 2006: 50

August 2006 - July 2007: 154 (154 cases in 10 months -> 15.4 cases a month for Sep-Jun)

August 2006 - December 2007: 170 (+16 cases in 5 months -> 3.2 cases a month for Jul-Nov)

August 2006 - February 2008: 210 ( +40 cases in 2 months -> 20 cases a month for Dec-Jan)"

Meanwhile, in the Negev...

Why can't the Israelis stop these senseless shellings of the poor refugees?



Elder of Ziyon: Meanwhile, in the Negev...: "Meanwhile, in the Negev...

At least 16 Qassam rockets were shot at Israeli civilians by Arab terrorists on Monday, as well as at least 5 mortars. 10 people suffered shock and there was one injury in the evening when a rocket hit Sderot, and earlier 4 kibbutz residents suffered from shock from a rocket landing near a medical clinic.

This is the worst day for Qassams since February 8. Of course, for many people, this is considered a cause for celebration and glory."

Violations of 'Islamic teachings' take deadly toll on Iraqi women

Islam is Perfect and Respects Women. As long as they wrap their bodies in bedsheets and stay in the home.

I think the only reason that so many women stay in the Mosque is that Allah kills anyone who tries to leave. Allah is big on killing. The poor children born and indoctrinated in the Religion of Submission to Allah are so tribal and insecure that one can only pity them. Unfortunately, one also needs to fear them like wild pigs. They are raised in a violent part of the world that they are required, on pain of death, to Submit to. Pity them, yet watch them carefully before they return to their religious training and kill you for the kafir you are.


Violations of 'Islamic teachings' take deadly toll on Iraqi women - CNN.com: "The attacks on the women of Basra have intensified since British forces withdrew to their base at the airport back in September, police say. Iraqi security forces took over after British troops pulled back, but are heavily infiltrated by militias.

And tracking the perpetrators of these crimes is nearly impossible, Khalaf says, adding that he doesn't have control of the thousands of policemen and officers.

'We're trying to trace crimes carried out by an anonymous enemy,' he says.

Amnesty International has raised concern about the increasing violence toward women in Iraq, saying abductions, rapes and 'honor killings' are on the rise.

'Politically active women, those who did not follow a strict dress code, and women [who are] human rights defenders were increasingly at risk of abuses, including by armed groups and religious extremists,' Amnesty said in a 2007 report.

Sometimes, it's just the color of a woman's headscarf that can draw unwanted attention.

'One time, one of my female colleagues commented on the color of my headscarf,' Safana says. 'She said it would draw attention ... [and I should] avoid it and stick to colors like gray, brown and black.'

This extremist ideology enrages many secular Muslim women, who say it's a misrepresentation of Islam.

Sawsan, another woman who works at a university, says the message from the radicals to women is simple: "They seem to be sending us a message to stay at home and keep your mouth shut.""

Suicide bomber, 12, at UK school

I can understand the worries of the locals! Can this kid be trusted?

It all depends upon how deep his martyr training is. Which is hard to say. I have to admit that I might never be able to trust him. Would you?


Daily Express: The World's Greatest Newspaper :: News / Showbiz :: Suicide bomber, 12, at UK school: "SUICIDE BOMBER, 12, AT UK SCHOOL

Sunday February 10,2008
By James Murray

FURY erupted last night after it emerged that a boy of 12 who trained to be a suicide bomber is being allowed to attend school in Britain.

Parents of his classmates are unaware of the Afghan child’s terrifying past. MP Philip Davies said the youngster should be removed from school immediately so a proper investigation can take place into any potential danger he poses.

The Tory MP for Shipley, West Yorks, said: “This boy has had a tragic upbringing through no fault of his own. But there should be a detailed and thorough look at his past and the threat he could pose in the future. I am sure that the parents in the school would be concerned if they were told about it.”

Extremists recruited the boy shortly after his father, a Taliban fighter, was shot dead by British soldiers in a gun battle. One elder told him: “You must avenge his death by becoming a martyr.” During intensive mountain training the youngster learned how to handle explosives and sophisticated detonators. He even went on dummy missions with bags taped to"

Egypt shocked by 'foul-mouthed' Gaza cousins

This is only a shock to people who have bought into the lies of the Media, Left and Pallys.

At least this article gets the part about Gaza belonging to Egypt and Egypt not wanting it back correct. Not that anyone seems to believe it. The Left still tries to point out that Palestine was a real country, even though it had no leader, no currency, no laws, no territory. There was Trans-Jordan as a British territory after the Ottoman Empire fell apart. If Israel is built on the bones of Palestine, someone needs to prove what the local currency was.


Egypt shocked by 'foul-mouthed' Gaza cousins - Telegraph: "Until June 2007, when Hamas took control, the Rafah crossing was operated by the Egyptians and the Palestinian Authority. Gaza's only method of bypassing Israel to get to the outside world has been closed ever since amid accusations from Israel and America that it would become a conduit for weapons.

Hamas control has led to severe economic sanctions against the strip, leaving stores bare and creating power cuts that have aroused sympathy in Egypt. But there are great risks for Egypt in re-opening the border and increasing its assistance to Gaza. Too much co-operation with Hamas will hand the Muslim Brotherhood more credibility. But disobeying US orders to keep the border closed would put at risk billions of dollars in aid.

Egypt's foreign minister, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, warned last week that 'anyone who breaches the border will have their legs broken'."

Israel Busts Freelancers

Good for the Israelis!

Too bad none of the opposing groups assume the same responsibility for the actions of their members. Thank the Lord for the honorable actions of the Israelis.


Leadership: Israel Busts Freelancers: "The Israeli army has prosecuted one of its lieutenants (Yaakov Gigi) for undertaking an unauthorized intelligence mission into the West Bank last year, and shooting a Palestinian civilian along the way. The lieutenant was busted down to private and sentenced to 15 months in jail. Last July, Gigi, whose unit patrolled part of the West Bank around the town of Hebron, decided to carry out an undercover reconnaissance mission, in search of Palestinian terrorists, without asking permission. He, and five of his soldiers, changed into civilian clothes and commandeered a Palestinian cab. When they encountered a Palestinian man who 'looked suspicious', one of the soldiers shot him, and left the man bleeding in the street. Considering their mission compromised, the Israelis went back to their base. When Israeli commanders heard about the shooting, they went looking for who did it. They eventually found Gigi and his five troops, who at first denied everything.



The Israelis do a lot of undercover work in the West Bank, but use specially trained police and commandos for it, and carefully plan every move. The speed with which Gigis team was identified and prosecuted was meant to make it clear that this kind of freelancing will not be tolerated."

Egypt Steps Up HIV Arrests

Not a bad idea, though horribly politically incorrect! Putting people with this sad, yet very deadly, disease into special clinics is a good way to help them to get cured and to stop the spread.

My Way News - Egypt Steps Up HIV Arrests: "Egyptian police have stepped up arrests of persons suspected of having HIV, detaining four men this month in a crackdown that violates basic human rights, two international rights groups said Friday.

New York-based Human Rights Watch and London-based Amnesty International warned in a joint statement that the arrests could undermine HIV/AIDS prevention effort as people in Egypt become increasingly afraid to seek information on the subject.

Police denied making any HIV-related arrests but one police official speaking on condition of anonymity said there is a campaign to get persons registered in hospital records as HIV-positive into treatment in 'special clinics.' The official said he was not authorized to speak to the media."

Christian youth centre's library blown up

Peace in the Middle East! Religion of Peace and Tolerance.

Letting Christians take care of Muslim children is a sin? I need to double check my Koran.


AKI - Adnkronos international Middle East: Christian youth centre's library blown up: "Unknown assailants blew up a local Christian youth organisation's library in central Gaza City early on Friday, the Palestinian news agency Maan reported.

One of the library's security guards told Maan that 10 armed men had broken into into the library, overpowering and abducting the guards. They then returned and detonated explosives that razed the building, the guard said.

The Christian Youth Organization provides many activities for young people in Gaza, as well as a kindergarten for Muslim children."

Nasrallah: If Israel wants open war, so be it

No one even knows who did this, yet. Naturally, the Muslim hate machine will blame the 'evil Joos' and declare war. Now that Hizballah has redeclared war on Israel, will the UN pull its 'peacekeepers' out of the way? Or will they protect the terrorists that are known to be in the southern parts of Lebanon from the counter strikes from Israel?

If the terrorists have now formally declared war, then it makes sense that Israel should be able to strike now, before the terrorist pigs can mass their forces and get them into place. This sounds like common sense - not something that diplomats have much of.


DEBKAfile - Nasrallah: If Israel wants open war, so be it: "'The blood of our slain commander will lead to Israel's demise,' said the Hizballah leader, Hassan Nasrallah in a diatribe broadcast at the funeral of the group’s military commander Imad Mughniyeh Thursday, Feb. 18. “I say for the whole world to hear that our war will extend everywhere without restraints. The Lebanon War is not over; there is no ceasefire.”

Iranian foreign minister Manouchehr Mottaki flew in especially to pay his government’s respects to the dead commander twenty-four hours after a bomb killed the man high on America’s wanted list in Damascus. Thousands of chanting supporters carried the coffin through the streets of Beirut’s southern Shiite stronghold in pouring rain."
