Thank G-d for the Naval Academy

In the not so distant future the name Annapolis will become synonymous with futility and failure. It will be be found with names like Oslo, Dayton, and various other city names that have had the misfortune of hosting a self described peace process between the Israelis and the "palestinians". If it weren't for the existence of the Naval Academy, Annapolis would have no positive reference.

Lets look at the major roadblocks of peace between Israel and the "palestinians".


1. Israel wants to be recognized as a Jewish state.

Based on the history of this planet there should be no argument against this. Historically the Jews haven't been treated very well by their host countries. Why not provide them a place of their own. It would only make sense that this home be the actual location they consider home. Mahmoud Abbas cannot go through with this because he would lose all backing from his present enablers. Though this list of enablers is shrinking, he can't afford to lose anymore.

2. United Jerusalem

Anytime islamists have control of the holy sites, the Jews seem to get left out. Jerusalem is the heart of Israels identity. Islamists didn't give a hoot about Jerusalem until recent history. This concern on the part of mohammedans for Jerusalem is purely political and a power play. JERUSALEM IS ISRAEL.

3. Stop terror attacks

Mahmoud Abbas has no control over this whatsoever. Hamas will continue to agitate and attack Israeli's and other defined infidels every opportunity they get. Before the previous two even get mentioned, this is the major show stopper. Hamas will control the West Bank soon enough. When that happens, all the propping up of Abbas by the West will mean nothing and prove the western diplomats to be as ignorant as us average people already believe them to be. Maybe at this point Ehud Olmert will finally be out on his ear. I would hate to be either Mr. Olmert or Mr. Barak when they stand in front of the creator and have to answer why they were willing to hand G-d's temple over to the mohammedans.

4. Bash and Momo

Iran and Syria will never allow for the peaceful existence of Israel. They have sworn to wipe Israel from the maps and eradicate the nation from the planet. Yet the west still attempts to keep them involved. This will be the downfall of the west. Israel will pay the initial cost.

Despite the rhetoric, there is no equivalence to what is happening in the Israel -"palestinian" conflict that would put it on par with apartheid. Only an historical moron would claim so. Despite the sympathies of Ms. Rice, here experiences as a child in the segregated south has nothing to do with the situation the "palestinians" have put themselves in.

The Annapolis conference will lead nowhere but to more bloodshed and more war. Too bad politicians aren't forced to live like the rest of us. They, like actors in Hollywood, get to pretend they are smarter than they really are. They get to ignore reality and throw their farcical fantasies into action. It is the rest of us day-to-day- schmoes that have top face the consequences.

Dr Walid Phares, is a leader of the March 14 movement and the Director of Future Terrorism Project at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies in Washington, a visiting scholar at the European Foundation for Democracy and the author of the War of Ideas. Dr Phares was one of the architects of UNSCR 1559. He is also a Professor of Middle East Studies at Florida Atlantic University and a contributing expert to FOX News. He makes the following points about the current situation and dangers in the Middle East:

The US Government is considering a new gigantic arms sale to the Saudi Kingdom, up to 20 billion dollars’ worth of complex weaponry. The proposed package includes advanced satellite-guided bombs, upgrades to its fighters, and new naval vessels, as part of a US strategy to contain the rising military expansion of Iran in the region. The titanic arms deal is a major Saudi investment to shield itself from the Khomeinist menace looming at the horizon: an Iranian nuclear bomb, future Pasdaran control in Iraq, and a Hezb’allah offensive in Lebanon.

The real Iranian threat against the Saudis materializes as follows:

1. Were the US led coalition to leave Iraq abruptly, Iranian forces — via the help of their militias in Iraq — will be at the borders with the Kingdom. Throughout the Gulf, Iran’s Mullahs will be eyeing the Hijaz on the one hand and the oil rich provinces on the other hand.

2. Hezb’allah threatens the Lebanese Government, which is friendly to the Saudis. Hezb’allah, already training for subversion in Iraq, will become the main trainer of Shia radicals in the Eastern province of the Kingdom.

3. Finally Syria and Iran can send all sorts of Jihadis, including Sunnis, across Iraq’s borders, almost in a pincer movement.

In the face of such a hydra-headed advance, the Wahhabi monarchy is hurrying to arm itself with all the military technology it can get from Uncle Sam. Riyadh believes that with improved F 16s, fast boats, electronics and smarter bombs, it can withstand the forthcoming onslaught.

I believe the Saudi regime won’t. For, as the Iraq-Iran war has proved, the ideologically-rooted brutality of the Iranian regime knows no boundaries. If the US withdraws from the region without a strong pro-Western Iraq in the neighborhood, and absent of a war of ideas making progress against fundamentalism as a whole, the Saudis won’t stand a chance for survival. For the Iranians will apply their pressure directly, and will unleash more radical forces among the neo-Wahhabis against the Kingdom. The Shiite Mullahs will adroitly manipulate radical Sunnis, as they have demonstrated their ability to do in Iraq and Lebanon.

Simply throwing money at a problem, without a vision as to how to properly spend it, has never been an effective solution. More often than not, money only exacerbates the problem it is meant to solve.

So what should the US advise the Saudis to do instead of spending hugely on arms?

First, if no serious political change is performed in Arabia, the 20 billion dollars’ worth of weapons would most likely end up in the hands of some kind of an al Qaeda, ruling over not only over Riyadh, but also Mecca and Medina. That package of wealth, religious prestige and modern arms, at this point of spasms in the region, is simply too risky strategically.

But there are better ways to spend these gigantic sums in the global confrontation with Iranian threat and in defense of stability. It needs a newer vision for the region. Here are alternative plans to use the 20 billion dollars wisely but efficiently; but let’s not count on the far reaching mainstream of Western analysis at this point:

Dedicate some significant funds to support the Iranian opposition, both inside the country and overseas. Establish powerful broadcasts in Farsi, Kurdish, Arabic, Azeri and in other ethnic languages directed at the Iranian population. That alone will open a Pandora’s box inside Iran. Realists may find it hard to believe, but supporting the Iranian opposition (which is still to be identified) will pay off much better than AWACS flying over deserts.

Slate substantial sums to be spent in southern Iraq to support the anti-Khomeinist Shiia, the real shield against the forthcoming Pasdaran offensive. Such monies distributed wisely on civil society activists and on open anti-Khomeinist groups, would build a much stronger defense against Ahmedinijad’s ambitions.

Lavish funding should be granted to the Syrian liberal opposition to pressure the Assad regime into backing off from supporting Terrorism. Without a Mukhabarat regime in Damascus, the bridge between Tehran and Hezb’allah would crumble. Hence, the Syrian opposition is much worth being backed in its own home than for Saudi Arabia to fight future networks in its own home.

Allocate ample funding to the units of the Iraqi army that show the most efficiency in cracking down on terrorists, and which prove to be lawful and loyal to a strong central Government, pledging to defend its borders, particularly with regard to Iran. That would include the moderate Sunnis in the center and the Kurdish and other minority forces in the North. A strong multiethnic Iraq, projecting a balance of power with Iran’s regime, is the best option for the Peninsula.

Grant abundant aid to the Lebanese Government, the Cedars Revolution NGOs and the Lebanese Army to enable them to contain Hezb’allah on Lebanese soil. Earmark some of these grants to the Shia opposition to Nasrallah inside his own areas. When Hezb’allah is isolated by Lebanon’s population, Arab moderates around the region can sleep much better at night.

Spend real money on de-radicalization programs inside the Kingdom and across the region. With dollars spent on moderate Imams and not on the radicals, Riyadh can shake off the radical Salafi clerics, and have an impact the Jihadists’ followers. By doing so, it will prevent Jihadism from becoming (as it has already) the only other option on the inside, if the Iranian axis will put pressure on the country.

Forward meaningful sums to support the current Somali Government against the Islamic Courts and help the moderates in Eritrea and Sudan. The best defense against radicalism coming from the horn of Africa is to support the moderates in East of the continent.

Invite the US military to abandon Qatar as a regional base and to relocate to the Eastern provinces of the Kingdom, with as many billions of dollars as required to help in reinstallation and deployment facing Iran’s threat. A military attack by the Iranian regime on Saudi Arabia would then become a direct attack on the United States.

With the remaining billions, the Saudi Government would renew, remodel, and retrain its forces so that along with its allies, the US, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Gulf states, they would deter an Iranian regime, which will be defeated by its own people.

That of course, presumes radical reforms take place, quickly, in the Peninsula. But isn’t such a hope just a desert mirage?

Indeed, the points I suggested in this article, although logical in terms of counter-radicalism strategy, have very little chance of being adopted or even considered in Riyadh. The Kingdom, sadly, wants to confront the Islamic Republic only with classical military deterrence, not with a war of ideas. Which perhaps is why the region’s “friendly” regimes have preferred not to endorse “spreading democracy” as a mean to contain Terrorism. The reason is simple: Democratic culture will also open spaces in their own countries, a matter they haven’t accepted yet.

Dr. Phares is quite rights when he notes that we cannot count on the far reaching mainstream of Western analysis at this point. Why? Because of the unrealistic and failed policies of the Realpolitik practitioners at the State Department. Not only are past Realpolitik policies directly responsible for America’s current imbroglio in Iraq, but their further pursuit will only add dangerous new fuel to the existing problem while creating many more.

It is high time for a drastic change, time to bring in people who are true experts on the Levant’s mentality. People who recognize that what works in the West does not work with IslamoFascism. Not only is there a different mentality at work, the political logic is entirely different, unless we in the West are willing to engage the IslamoFascists onIslamoFasciststhey simply perceive as weakness. Unless we nurture their own opposition within, we cannot hope to stop their growing advance.

While IslamoFascism poses as a religion, it is no such thing!!! It is merely a political idea of world conquest, which adapted some trappings of religion as a convenient disguise. It is absolutely incapable of coexisting with the West, since its underlying philosophy is in direct opposition to the West. The sooner we understand that, the sooner we get rid and bury Realpolitik and its practitioners, the better the chances of stemming the advance of totalitarianism in the form of a future One World Caliphate.

But as Dr. Phares says at the end of his article: Indeed, the points I suggested in this article, although logical in terms of counter-radicalism strategy, have very little chance of being adopted or even considered in Riyadh. The Kingdom, sadly, wants to confront the Islamic Republic only with classical military deterrence, not with a war of ideas. Which perhaps is why the region’s “friendly” regimes have preferred not to endorse “spreading democracy” as a mean to contain Terrorism. The reason is simple: Democratic culture will also open spaces in their own countries, a matter they haven’t accepted yet.Will the West wake up to the looming dangers in time? Riyadh will not likely accept Dr. Phares sensible suggestions. As long as Democrats like Nanci “The most powerful woman in the world” Pelosi continue to cuddle up to the likes of Baby Assad, we are heading the wrong way down the political pike. As long as the House of Saud’s main Consigliere, James Baker, continues to hold sway on America’s foreign policy, neither will the State Department take any action to move away, even one iota, from its bankrupt path and it certainly won’t listen to Dr. Phares’ advice. Will we in the West change our stance and deal with IslamoFascism in the only decisive language they unequivocally understand?

Dealing with Dissent

The Trumpet.com featured the following story today:

Iran Muzzles and Executes Dissenters Under Sharia Law

Frenzied shouts of “Allah akbar” (“Allah is great”) accompanied seven Iranians on their death walk Wednesday. Moments later, executioners kicked the stools supporting their weight out from beneath their feet, and cords around their necks cut their fall sickeningly short. Accompanying the victims’ final few spasmodic kicks, the crowd of onlookers and a mullah howled, “Alhamd li-Allah” (“Praise be to Allah”).

The hangings, broadcast live on Iranian public television, were the latest in the state’s crackdown on “hooligans.” The Farsi equivalent of “hooligans” is Tehran’s term for dissenters, activists or troublesome union leaders.

According to Iranian-born journalist Amir Taheri, the public executions ordered by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are part of a terror campaign to clamp down on an increasingly restive population. At least 118 people have been executed since the middle of June, including four who were put to death by stoning.

Amnesty International lists Iran as having one of the highest execution rates in the world, a standing that may soon increase. Iran’s chief Islamic prosecutor reports that 150 more people are scheduled to be hanged and stoned to death over the coming days and weeks. The current wave of executions is Iran’s highest in 23 years.

As part of Iran’s recent crackdown and program of intimidation, over 1 million people have been arrested since April, most for violating Islamic dress codes, including having hairstyles deemed to be too Western. The arrests included 430,000 men and women on charges of drug use, 6,204 on charges on “sexual proximity,” and just within the city of Tehran, 4,209 on charges of hooliganism. Last week, Iranian police raided an underground rock concert and detained more than 200 people.

The wave of arrests has sparked a massive prison boom, as government buildings are being converted into makeshift jails. Still, Ali-Akbar Yassaqi, the head of the National Prisons Service, isn’t sure if the new buildings will prove sufficient.

Though many who are arrested may only spend hours or days incarcerated, Iranian prisons are overflowing. Government statistics show official prison capacity at 50,000, while inmate levels in excess of 150,000 have led Yassaqi to appeal for a moratorium on arrests.

The national crackdown comes as Iran’s leaders attempt to cut Iranians off from outside media and focus attention on international threats and conspiracies.

Over 4,000 Internet sites have been blocked, with more added each day. The national book blacklist is growing too. Over the past four months, 30 newspapers and magazines have been closed, and 17 journalists jailed, two of whom are scheduled to be hung.

Additionally, 40 people have arrested on charges of spying. Iranian propaganda reached a dubious level recently when state-sponsored news agency irna announced that 14 squirrels carrying foreign-agency espionage gear had been captured.

The futility of the West trying to make peace with the radical leaders responsible for this massive wave of arrests and executions should be readily apparent. Ahmadinejad does not want peace; he wants Iranian-enforced Sharia law to cover the world. As Tehran’s leaders consolidate their hold on the country by brute force, expect Iran to become even more forceful in its foreign policy.

The MSM does not even mention this story. It does not deem it important enough. In any case, it might expose the dangers of Ahmedinajad and the Ayatollahs to western readers. What is so terrible about that, you say? Why gentle readers, if people in the West begin to understand the mindset of IslamoFascists, if they perceive these murderous creatures for what they are, we might stop trying to find a diplomatic solution for the problems they’ve created. What would appeasers (read: elite pseudo-intellectual liberals) do if people know the truth? We live in an age that absolutely reflects the words of Al Gore, who said a week ago, that propaganda passes for information these days.

What is or is not considered “news that’s fit to print” is an important part of the propaganda agenda. It is no longer enough for a story to reflect a specific slant, successful propaganda also dictates what inconvenient truths must be ignored. Iran’s putrid little maggot, Ahmedinajad, has a unique and ruthless way of dealing with dissent. If that means trumping up charges that will lead to the dissenter’s death by hanging or stoning… so be it. Not only does it provide good entertainment for the putrid little maggot’s subjects but, more importantly, it instills fear in them thereby perpetuating the dictatorial rule of the IslamoFascists.

The West, however, prefers to talk, to cajole, to persuade with words and is too lazy too rattle a few sabers to knock these bullies down from their high perch. IslamoFascists see Western tactics as weakness, as a sign of spinelessness. The West should stand up while it still can and use the IslamoFascist tactics on the same IslamoFascist leaders espousing them. Not only will that liberate these despots’ subjects from horrible tyrannical rule, but will show the IslamoFascist that we can speak their language just as well… And… when we do, if we show no fear, if we are driven by the unwavering commitment to destroy them, our superior strength will speedily send them to enjoy their 72 virgins, or… was it 72 Virginians?

Overstaying their Welcome?

Naharnet has the following about how public opinion is starting to turn against the Palestinian “refugees” in Lebanon:

Nahr al-Bared Battle Fuels Anti-Palestinian Sentiment
As the list of dead soldiers grows, anger mounts in villages of north Lebanon where the army has been locked in a deadly showdown with Islamist militants for more than two months.

Black-clad women shout angrily as men in sombre mood sit in heavy silence next to portraits of the “martyred” soldiers in impoverished villages in the remote north — a main reservoir for the country’s armed forces.

Elite unit soldier Bassam Jawhar, 29, was killed on July 14 during the ongoing battles around Nahr al-Bared refugee camp where Fatah al-Islam militants have been under army siege since May 20.

He was killed when a booby-trapped building collapsed on a patrol in Nahr al-Bared and it took the army six days to retrieve his body from under the rubble due to the intensity of the battles.

Like Jawhar, six other soldiers from Bebnin fell in combat in Nahr al-Bared in two months.

At his family home in the village, his widow Mariam, wearing a black dress and an embroidered headscarf, sits near the giant portrait of the “Shahid” (martyr in Arabic) standing proudly in full combat gear and holding a rocket-launcher.
“I delivered our baby the day he left, 50 days ago exactly,” said Mariam, 23. “He only saw the baby twice.”

Why was Jawhar killed? Because pro Syrian/Iranian militias from within the refugee camp decided to flex muscle, to flaunt how little they care for Lebanon… or for their own people, for that matter.

In another room, the grandfather holds his newly-born granddaughter in his arms as an endless queue of men flock in to present their condolences.

The procession takes place in silence, but anger is boiling.

“Don’t say Fatah al-Islam, it is an insult to Islam. Say ‘the criminal gang of Shaker al-Abssi,’” the Islamist group’s commander, said Mohammed Jawhar, a cousin of the slain soldier.

Across the dusty villages of the impoverished northern province of Akkar, the men enroll in the country’s armed forces by local tradition but mostly by necessity.

“There is not a single house where there is no soldier,” explained 42-year-old Zeina Sufain, who lost her 19-year-old son Firas on May 22.

“There is no work here. Even for those who go to school,” she said.

The list of soldiers killed in Nahr al-Bared has painfully reached 116, including 27 servicemen on the first day of the clashes when the Islamist extremists attacked most of them in their beds.

116 soldiers died defending their country from the enemy… within. Yes… the enemy is within Lebanon, within the refugee camps which for about 40 years now have been independent enclaves where neither the Lebanese police nor the Lebanese Army were allowed to go in, by mutual agreement, and this is their show of gratitude…

Reports of “massacres” against off-duty soldiers by Fatah al-Islam, including harrowing stories of servicemen executed at gunpoint or slaughtered with knives seemed to have at least momentarily ended decades of good relations with the Palestinian refugee camp.

“Let them go to hell,” shouted Sahar, Bassam’s aunt.
“We will never let the camp be rebuilt. We will never accept that the Palestinians come back. We used to buy from their shops, but they are traitors. They harbored these criminals, they helped them,” Mohammed Jawhar said.

“Some of them even married their girls to the terrorists” from Fatah al-Islam, shouted another man.

But despite their grief and great losses, Akkar villages continue to back the army and its military campaign on Nahr al-Bared.

“In Akkar we love the army,” said a cousin of one of the slain soldiers in Bebnin.

But in a poor house further down the street, Zeina Soufain voices rare criticism of the army.
“They sent them (soldiers) there (to Nahr al-Bared) like cannon fodder. They had no experience, and they only had a Kalashnikov,” she said.

Back at the Jawhar reception hall, a soldier came to present his condolences before returning to Nahr al-Bared after a six-hour leave, his first in 14 days.

“Morale is high, even the wounded soldiers want to return” to the battlefront, the soldier who did not wish to be identified told Agence France Presse.

“With our meagre means, we are combating a very well-trained enemy that kills with unbelievable savagery,” he said.

The soldier said the army was surprised by the “very sophisticated arms” of Fatah al-Islam which he said had “high-precision rifles, infra-red goggles and remote-controlled landmines.”

He said the soldiers “stay three days in the camp. They take turns to sleep. Then they leave and others replace them.”

Over the last few months we saw not only Palestinians fight savagely, ruthlessly, against Palestinians (Hamas vs. Fatah), we see them fight with the same hatred and ferocity against Lebanon, a country that extended its hospitality… Yes, gentle reader, you may argue that Lebanon, like Syria, like Jordan, like Saudi Arabia, like Egypt, did everything possible to keep them poor and unable to integrate into regular society. Let’s not forget however that only Lebanon gave the Palestinian camps sovereignty over their own land, and to what results?

Naharnet also reported today:

Army Seizes Explosives during Raid on Militants’ Shelter
The Lebanese army on Tuesday continued to tighten the noose around diehard Fatah al-Islam militants, pounding the northern Palestinian refugee camp of Nahr al-Bared with heavy artillery barrages. It The army’s guns bombarded the remaining Islamists’ pockets at the camp with long range artillery fire.

It said troops occasionally fought fierce house-to-house battles with the militants.

The state-run National News Agency said the Lebanese army on Tuesday also seized explosive materials as well as weapons, detonators and electronic devices during a raid on a shelter inside the camp on the outskirts of the northern port city of Tripoli.

It said a number of militants were killed in the attack.

NNA said troops also blocked most exits to a sanitary sewer system after they discovered that it had been used as routes of escape by the terrorists

There was no word on casualties from Tuesday’s fighting. NNA said the army’s guns bombarded the remaining Islamists’ pockets at the camp with long range artillery fire.

It said troops occasionally fought fierce house-to-house battles with the militants.

They do not let up, they are intent in dying and killing. Bloodshed seems to be all they care about! Can a people that embraces such a culture, endure long?

The only Arab country that actually welcomed them and gave them everything necessary to integrate them into their own society was Kuwait. What happened in Kuwait during Saddam’s invasion on August 2, 1990? Who turned out to be Saddam’s greatest cheerleaders in Kuwait? Those same Palestinians that had been received with open arms… such gratitude!

Unless the Palestinians choose a leadership that truly represent the healthy aspirations of the average man on the street, unless they are willing to lay down their weapons, get rid of their hatred against all and everyone they are destined to forever remain a world pariah. Will the plight of Palestinians continue to be dismal or will they succeed in bettering themselves and their future? The choice is theirs!

The stakes are higher

To those who have been sleeping or ignoring events in the Middle East, the stakes have risen. The status quo has shifted and the "same ol'" can't be relied on to occur.

Iran is in the process of developing a nuclear ability that will allow it to build destructive weapons. It is lead by a fanatic who believes that he is paving the way for the 12th imam of islamic lore. this maniac has allied himself with a fellow despot in Damascus as well as terror islamic terror organizations in Lebanon, Syria, "Palestine" and Iraq. He has been given support from a tyrant in Venezuela and a fellow maniac in North Korea. Anywhere there is anti-American and anti-Western sympathies, he has made inroads.

His fellow despot in Damascus is throwing out overtures of peace towards Israel for all the world to see while he rearms and redeploys his own military as well as the terror groups in "Palestine" and Lebanon. The world conveniently refuses to acknowledge this. Despite the Syrian army withdrawing from Lebanon, nothing there has really changed. Now the pro-Syrian insurgents and sympathizers can provide cover for the directing coming from Damascus.

As for the "Palestinian territories", Hamas now rules. They too are led out of Damascus. Having received the vote of the people they have attained a certain perceived level of credibility. The ignorant's that live in the west call it a victory for democracy as if an election was all that was needed to obtain democracy. The "palestinians" are the largest receivers of aid in the history of the UN. They receive more money and food than any other. If money is truly what provides affluence and growth, they should have been the most educated and advanced people on the planet. So much for that dated leftist bunk. Hamas has taken over the Gaza Strip. They will soon start agitating in the West Bank. There is nothing that the PLO can do about. Declaring Hamas illegal in the West Bank is like telling a kid he can't have a cookie. Hamas will only be more obstinate and violent. More "Palestinians" will die as a result of their "election". They chose violence and will now face the consequences.

What does all of this mean? Israel's enemies have allied, armed, and are in the process of setting up a full scale attack on the tiny sliver of a nation. There is not one inch of Israeli land that cannot be hit by these enemies. If an invasion were planned out properly, Israel wouldn't have enough arms or soldiers to defend itself without outside help.

If the enemy attempts this during the present tenure of Ehud Olmert it may stand a chance. If it waits until someone like Benjamin Netanyahu, the story changes. What the enemy does is not as important as what Israel will do. Will it defend the promised land or will it hand it back over to the Canaanites and Philistines?

Joe Lieberman calls on US to launch a strike on Iran

We all knew this was coming and Lieberman is right - the US must launch a strike on Iran. The time for talk has been long over. Talk is wasted words - dust in the wind. It is time now to act. Lieberman had this to say on CBS’s, Face the Nation.

Via JPost:

Sen. Joseph Lieberman said Sunday the United States should consider a military strike against Iran because of Teheran’s alleged involvement with Iraqi insurgents.

“I think we’ve got to be prepared to take aggressive military action against the Iranians to stop them from killing Americans in Iraq,” Lieberman said. “And to me, that would include a strike over the border into Iran, where we have good evidence that they have a base at which they are training these people coming back into Iraq to kill our soldiers.”

The United States accuses Iran of fostering terrorism and Teheran’s nuclear ambitions have brought about international reproach.

Lieberman, the Democratic nominee for vice president in 2000 who now represents Connecticut as an independent, spoke of Iran’s alleged role in the continued violence in Iraq.

“By some estimates, they have killed as many as 200 American soldiers,” he said. “Well, we can tell them we want them to stop that. But if there’s any hope of the Iranians living according to the international rule of law and stopping, for instance, their nuclear weapons development, we can’t just talk to them.

“If they don’t play by the rules, we’ve got to use our force, and to me, that would include taking military action to stop them from doing what they’re doing.”

Lieberman said much of the action could probably be done by air, although he would leave the strategy to the generals in charge.

“But they can’t believe that they have immunity for training and equipping people to come in and kill Americans,” he said. “We cannot let them get away with it. If we do, they’ll take that as a sign of weakness on our part and we will pay for it in Iraq and throughout the region and ultimately right here at home.”

Lieberman spoke on “Face the Nation” on CBS.

Lieberman said, “bomb Iran if it doesn’t stop.” The Senator said he was not calling for an end to the limited diplomatic efforts that are underway between Washington and Tehran.

“We can tell them we want them to stop that, but if there’s any hope of the Iranians living according to the international rule of law and stopping, for instance, their nuclear weapons development, we can’t just talk to them,” Lieberman said. “If they don’t play by the rules, we’ve got to use our force and to me that would include taking military action to stop them from doing what they’re doing.”

Iran must be stopped - the line in the sand has been drawn, and it stops here.

Do it or die

Once again I will state it: There is no diplomatic solution to the Israel-"Palestinian" conflict. Thanks to Hamas, Syria, Iran, Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, Hizbollah, and Islamic Jihad (with the recent addition of AL Quaeda in Gaza and the West Bank) there can never be a political solution. The aforementioned all believe that the entire nation of Israel is on occupied territory. All of the aforementioned have stated in public or in their charters that their goal is to push Israel into the sea. This is not an issue that can be negotiated.

Israel has successfully defended itself since it's inception. Time after time the "Arab" armies have set themselves against Israel only to be beaten back. Only when Israel has succumbed to the "World" has it not achieved it's goals of defense. I have stated often that the "Palestinians" are nothing but cannon fodder being used by Israel's enemies. Everyday I read about how I right I have been.

Unilateral withdraw from Gaza was not the spark to recent developments. Israel should have done as the Arabs did in 1947-48. Once in Gaza they should have evicted the Arab residents. As crass as this sounds it was the only action that could have prevented the events over the last 60 years. Despite propaganda put out by the Arab's, Israel did not kick people out in 1948. The majority of these people left on their own accord. Having returned to Gaza they have done exactly what should have been expected. While the rest of the world wants to negotiate an unattainable truce, Israel has the devil at the door.

I read today that B'Tselem has written a letter to Amir Peretz requesting that he not attack civilians in Gaza:

The letter came in response to calls by several MKs to cut off Gaza's water and electricity. According to B'Tselem, intentionally harming civilian infrastructure constitutes prohibited collective punishment and could also constitute a war crime.

Can someone please explain to me what fantasy world these people come from? The people who are attacking Israel were voted into office by the "Palestinians". Seeing as they view no Israeli as innocent why should Israel not reciprocate in kind? Maybe if there were massive civilian casualties the remainder would turn on Hamas and the others. Then again maybe they would actually take an active part in fighting Israel. This makes it easier to fight a war against those who hide amongst women and children. Israel did not create this monster, they have been trying to fend it off instead of kill it. Maybe it's time the "Palestinian" boogey-man was put out in the light?

The idiots that try to place rules and regulations on the act of war live in a world where everyone fights fair. This world does not exist on this planet. The goal in fighting a war is to win and cause the enemy to abandon it's cause. Fighting with kid gloves will not achieve this. There is no such thing as fighting nice. You either fight to win or you don't fight and you bow to your new master.

I can't say that I am disappointed in Ehud Olmert and his administration because I didn't expect much in the first place. However, being a supporter of Binyamin Netanyahu, his recent comments have caused me much disappointment. Israel does not need a political leader. Israel just needs a LEADER. The answer is not Shimon Peres nor Ehud Barak. Sadly I don't know who fits this bill. Saying the right thing and actually following through are often two different ends of the spectrum when it comes to politics.

Israel needs to reenter Gaza and take it back. Let the world scream. They have done nothing to prevent this. Their action and inaction is what has created this situation. If Israel isn't willing to do what is necessary to protect itself then it will go the way of other failed nations that have allowed itself to be run over. If this happens then I will have wasted my breath and energy defending her.

Iran's Fashion Police Explained



Caution: This video contains truly offensive material...especially if you are not Muslim.

This is a response I made to some comments left on a video about Iran's Fashion Police. Although I have an account on Youtube, and I am all for social networking, I think sometimes it should be dubbed YouStoopid. The great thing about social networks like YouTube is that you are free to express your opinions, even if you don't actually evaluate them against reality. Well here is a little dose of reality from my perspective.

Some folks will get offended at the most retarded things and then turn around and let true offenses go. This video emphasizes the point.

Don't play this with children in the room. Really... You may have some explaining to do yourself!

Iranian Weapons - American Lives

Pajamas Media today has a wonderful exclusive video and interview about the Iranian weapons flooding Iraq by Richard Miniter. The video is a must watch for all readers both here and at Pajamas Media. It is extremely enlightening and makes the point about Iran quite crystal clear.

Snips from the interview in Baghdad:

Maj. Martin Weber, an explosives expert, is trying to walk through a political mine field with me.

As with an ordinary mine field, you have to be very careful where you put your emphasis. Stress the wrong truth and either the left or the right wants to blow you up.

Here at Camp Victory, a sprawling concrete and razor wire American base that wraps around Baghdad International Airport, Maj. Weber was trying to explain how to negotiate that mine field. On the one side he wanted me to know me that the captured weapons on the table before us were — definitely, no doubt about it, absolutely — from Iran. On the other hand, he avoided drawing the obvious conclusion that Iran is supplying America’s enemies inside Iraq.

That simple and obvious conclusion would anger the Democratic leadership in Congress, much of the press corp, and a large swarth of the antiwar set.

The military has tried twice before to present to the press “overwhelming evidence of Iran’s involvement in the Iraq war, only to be met by hostile skepticism.”

The skepticism basically takes the form of three questions:

) Couldn’t these weapons have been made anywhere?
2) Isn’t it fishy that these weapons were marked in English with American-style dates?
3) Isn’t all of this a ploy to justify a neocon war with Iraq?

Mr. Miniter says, “Maj. Weber is matter of fact. He laughingly admits that he got into EOD because he liked to hear things go BOOM. He’s an old fashioned army officer who abhors politics but loves his profession. He’s not trying to pedal a line, that’s for the guys upstairs. He’s just trying to tell you what he found and what it means.”

This is as I stated above a must read interview and a must see video. It is time that many American people, the Democrats, and the anti-war crowd, period - get their heads out of the sand before there is not one of us left with a head.

A Clear Message to Ahmedinajad and the US

At this past week’s summit in the beautiful Sharm Al-Sheikh resort, in the Sinai peninsula, where Iraq’s security and future were discussed, the putrid little maggot, Ahmedinajad and his handlers the Ayatollahs were sent a message, as the Editor-in-Chief of the Arab Times sees it. On his Opinion piece from yesterday, Saturday, May the 5th, he writes:

[…]Participants of the Sharm Al-Sheikh Summit decided the US cannot leave Iraq at this juncture to ensure it won’t fall prey to Iran, which is trying to take over this Arab country using its sectarian influence, and the might of its militias and the Revolutionary Guards.Iran should understand the message of this summit and realize the fact that all issues concerning Arabs are represented by Saudi Arabia and Egypt, the two biggest Arab countries. Tehran should know it cannot challenge these two countries because any such move will affect all Iranians and cause alarm bells to ring peace in the Gulf region. Iran should know Arab countries don’t want to see their neighbouring country attacked for its arrogance.

The Iranian regime should understand its real size and limitations, and the role it can play. Leaders of the regime should realize they are not ruling a superpower but a developing country, which is incapable of playing certain roles which don’t suit the rest of the world.

On the sidelines of the Sharm Al-Sheikh Summit US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice met Syrian Foreign Minister Waleed Al-Moalem. In the meeting Al-Moalem received a clear message that Syria should wear its original Arab outfit and not somebody else’s clothes. This means Damascus should not help Iran or try to change the reference of Arab issues.
All countries in the Gulf region seek stability and security. They believe only a local and strong country, which does not suffer poverty, unemployment, idle factories, stagnant export and import activities can play a meaningful and substantial role in this issue.

Both Syria and Iran are incapable of playing a substantial international role. Tehran’s attempt to continue with its nuclear programme to increase its “weight” won’t succeed as long as Iran is not self sufficient and suffers a sluggish economy.
The Sharm Al-Sheikh Summit has brought Iraq back under the umbrella of Arab countries. It has returned Arab reference to its original owners and proved that the United States is still capable of leading the world. The summit has proved the Americans have not retreated or weakened. It has also confirmed the United States has not and will not attempt to deal with any “accidental” party other than a reliable Arab reference.

Before I comment let me also quote from his editorial of today: Sunday. May 6th.

IT appears the message of Sharm Al-Sheikh Summit has reached Iran and Syria faster than we expected because Damascus has described the summit the beginning of a thousand miles journey. As the torch-bearers of Sunnis Saudi Arabia and Egypt have launched an initiative to reduce the debts of Iraq and voice their protest against Iraq becoming a battleground to settle the disputes between the United States and Iran.

Tehran, which has also got the message, has chosen to confront the Americans and describe them as supporters of terrorism in Iraq. Tehran believes terrorist activities exploded in Iraq after its occupation by the United States and considers this a good reason to create tense relations with Saudi Arabia. The reaction to the Sharm Al-Sheikh Summit has been fast. The summit’s message to Iran was firm and strict. The Sharm Al-Sheikh Summit ordered Tehran to understand its real size, reconsider its regional policies and quit trying to be a reference for Arab issues.

Maybe Iran can support Arab issues, but it doesn’t have the authority to compete and take over the historical reference of the Sunni sect because this role belongs to Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Shiites in Iraq should react to these messages as they don’t belong to Al-Faqaih of Iran as a reference. They should understand their interests are linked to cooperating with the Americans in Iraq. Currently Iran is under pressure to abandon its role in Lebanon, Iraq and Palestine. If it doesn’t it should expect the return of a new Sultan Saleem of the Ottoman Empire, who ended the Sufi movement of Ismail Shah over 500 years ago. The Sufi movement was based on planting hatred against Arabs for the killing of Imam Al-Hussein (PBUH) and members of Prophet Mohammed’s (PBUH) family.

The Iranian regime, which is still being influenced by the movement of Ismail Shah, wants to control the faith of over 1.6 billion Sunni Muslims. By ordering Iran to get out of Lebanon and Iraq, and leave the Palestinians alone the Sharm Al-Sheikh Summit stands as a high and solid wall in the face of Tehran’s plans.

The Syrian regime, which considers these orders as the first phase, still has a good opportunity to join the Arab Sunni reference. For this Damascus should stop being a follower of the Iranian regime, which as a minority cannot stand long against Saudi Arabia which played a vital role in giving Iran a second opportunity to avoid further escalations. The Iranian regime has to come back to its senses, especially since the wind is not blowing in the direction of its sail.

In short, gentle reader, the Arab world fully recognizes that not only are today’s Iranian leaders a main source of instability in the region, but they unequivocally declared that an early American exit from Iraq, would mean a disaster for the region and the world at large.

There is also another message here, just as important though somewhat less visible, by ordering Iran to get out of Lebanon and Iraq, and leave the Palestinians alone the Sharm Al-Sheikh Summit stands as a high and solid wall in the face of Tehran’s plans. Ahmed Al-Jarallah, who penned both opinions quoted above, also said this past summer at the beginning of Lebanon II, The operations of Israel in Gaza and Lebanon are in the interest of people of Arab countries and the interrnational community. Perhaps, the Arab nation, however reluctantly, and strictly because of its own selfish interest may be signaling Israel that the time for talks has come…

We can discuss ad nauseum whether the US should or should not have gotten into Iraq, but even those who are totally against the coalition forces being in Iraq must concede that the past cannot be changed. Thus we must decide how do we proceed from here. Do we leave Iraq at a previously specified date, thereby causing the whole Middle East to destabilize and igniting a war that will eventually enmesh the entire world in its net? Or do we finish the job, while putting pressure on the democratically elected Iraqi government to step up to the plate and take full responsibility for its country’s re-entry into the brotherhood of civilized nations?

Participants of the Sharm Al-Sheikh Summit decided the US cannot leave Iraq at this juncture… The Summit, where the immense majority of participants were Arab nations but also included the US and representatives of Russia and the European Union, has made it absolutely clear that pandering to Iran would not stem the tide of war, that leaving Iraq at a predetermined date would only embolden the insurgency and destroy the region. Moreover, the summit served notice to the Iranians that, that the United States is still capable of leading the world. The summit has proved the Americans have not retreated or weakened.

Perhaps, Pelosi, Reid, et al will listen to the region’s leaders and their interests, as opposed to listening to George Soros and Moveon.org. Arab leaders are feeling threatened by the US Congress latest moves and, frankly, as long as we have not developed alternate energy sources, the Arabs are much needed. At the same we must understand and let them know, they need the West even more than we need them. The Levant is still a poor, backward area where the ruling elite are the only ones who enjoy a decent standard of living. They desperately need those petrodollars even more than we need their oil.

Yet, the Democrat Party’s strings are pulled by those whose extreme ideas would never get them elected even as dogcatchers. George Soros said right before the last election, right after he spent a fortune (which more than 99% of us will never see in a whole lifetime of hard work) on moveon.org and other such organizations that if George Bush becomes President, he George Soros would join a monastery. Unfortunately his words, like the shreds of his honor, are worthless! Shouldn’t a man of honor, a man of such preeminence have kept his promises rather than continue to shove his bankrupt ideas down the throats of a people who doesn’t want them? Yet Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the Democrats willingly take their cue from such unelected, unelectable, political thugs!

Madame Pelosi, now wants to meet with Chávez, an opportunist increasingly acquiring the full trappings of a dictator. She recently, in spite of requests to the contrary by the State Department, traveled to Syria to rescue Baby Assad from the ranks of international political pariahs. While there, in a goodwill gesture she not only covered her hair with expensive (and stylishly beautiful!) Hermès Scarves as she visited the Damascus market but interestingly… she uncovered her hair and showed her liberal side, when alone with baby Assad… Now she is making new overtures in an effort to meet and hold, close to her bosom, that putrid little maggot, Ahmedinajad…

It is interesting that while hobnobbing with America’s enemies, with those who are trampling on all human rights and killing innocents she would not meet with Colombia’s President Alvaro Uribe, who not only managed to disarm paramilitary groups in his country but has destroyed thousand of acres of cocaine growing fields while Chávez was cited in a UN study as an international drug dealer… If she is truly concerned with human rights violations should she not be consistent in her choice of dancing partners?

It is interesting to note that Pelosi, who run a campaign of ridding Washington of corruption and excessive pork to every bill leaving Congress on its way to the White House, has sent more pork in her first 100 days than any of her predecessors while accomplishing a hell of a lot less than any of her predecessors. It is interesting to note that while she has no interest in meeting America’s friends, she is tripping over herself to rush and embrace America’s enemies. Unless the Democratic Party is willing to return again to be the party of the likes Zel Miller, the party that made America great, a Democratic victory in 2008 only spells the demise of America and the fruition of George Soros’ fondest dream.

Iran says could reveal new "nuclear achievements"


Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spews forth more of the same:

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran will announce unspecified new "nuclear achievements" if the United Nations takes fresh steps against it over its disputed atomic program,
The announcement prompted the United States to say it was likely the U.N. Security Council would impose further penalties against Tehran.

In Iran's first public reaction to the U.S. warning, Ahmadinejad had earlier accused world powers of using international organizations like the U.N. for their own ends and said Iran would not give up its right to nuclear technology.

"The Iranian nation will stand up for its legal right and will not retreat even one iota to preserve its nuclear right," Ahmadinejad said in a televised speech to a rally in the central Iranian city of Shiraz.

The crowd chanted "Death to America," and "Nuclear technology is our right." Click to read more...


What new "Nuclear Achievements" can there be besides mutant scientists or mushroom clouds?

Iran Says Britain Must Admit Navy Trespassed

Iran continues playing an old game...the hostage one.

From the Washington Post:

Iran's foreign minister said British officials would be allowed to meet with 15 captured sailors and marines, but must acknowledge that the service members entered Iranian waters in order to resolve the standoff.


"Admitting the mistake will facilitate a solution to the problem," Manouchehr Mottaki told The Associated Press late Wednesday night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he was attending an Arab summit.


Mottaki's statement came on a day of escalating tensions, highlighted by an Iranian video of the detained Britons that showed the only female captive saying her group had "trespassed" in Iranian waters.


Britain angrily denounced the video as unacceptable and froze most dealings with the Mideast nation.

We've seen these videos before showing so-called admissions. Jill Caroll comes to mind.

Iran shrugs off UN nuclear pressure


From Associated Press, THE JERUSALEM POST:

Iran on Thursday shrugged off the latest punitive UN action - suspension of nearly two dozen nuclear aid programs - and showed no signs it was cowed by the possibility of even tougher penalties in the form of new Security Council sanctions.


Thursday's decision by the 35 board nations of the International Atomic Energy Agency to deprive Teheran of 22 technical aid projects was symbolically important. Only North Korea and Saddam Hussein's Iraq had been subject to such action previously.


Still, none of the programs directly applied to the Islamic republic's developing uranium enrichment program - which Teheran refuses to mothball despite nearly three months of Security Council sanctions and the possibility that those punitive measures may be tightened.


Ali Ashgar Soltanieh, Iran's chief delegate to the IAEA, said as much after the board agreed by consensus to suspend the programs.


"None of these projects are related to enrichment," he said of the suspensions. "The enrichment program will continue as planned."


IAEA technical aid projects are meant to bolster the peaceful use of nuclear energy in medicine, agriculture, waste management, management training or power generation. The technical aid is provided to dozens of countries, most of them developing nations - but none suspected of possibly trying to develop nuclear weapons, like Iran.


Enrichment, in contrast, has both peaceful and military applications.


Teheran's secretive nuclear ways - it hid sensitive activities from the world for nearly two decades until revelations four years ago of a covert enrichment project - led the Security Council to impose sanctions December 23 because of fears its nuclear activities were a cover for a weapons program.


Still, there is little evidence the sanctions are working beyond generating some domestic criticism of hardline Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who last month compared Iran's enrichment program to an unstoppable train without brakes. And the sanctions themselves are less than their chief proponent, Washington, would like.


Instead of choking off Iran economically and politically, they are relatively mild, only committing all UN member countries to stop supplying Iran with materials and technology that could contribute to its nuclear and missile programs and to freeze assets of 10 key Iranian companies and 12 individuals related to those programs.


Russian and Chinese opposition to tougher action blunted Washington's sanctions drive - and there was evidence of the same in attempts to keep Security Council unity on new sanctions meant to punish Iran for ignoring last month's deadline on suspending enrichment.


Council diplomats on Wednesday said the five permanent Council members were again struggling, with US, Britain and France pushing for tougher measures than Russia and China will accept. The impasse led to Security Council ambassadors sending the problem back to high level discussions among their capitals.


Ahead of the IAEA decision on technical aid in Vienna, Soltanieh accused the United States and Israel of threatening military attacks on its nuclear facilities and said Security Council sanctions against his country were illegal.


Washington in turn criticized Teheran for ignoring Security Council demands to freeze uranium enrichment and said Iranian "intransigence" in answering questions about its nuclear program raises the level of concern that it might be seeking to make nuclear arms.


Those comments, inside and on the sidelines of the meeting, came as part of a review of a report by IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei that confirmed Iran had defied a Security Council deadline on enrichment last month.


"intransigence"! Now there is a 5 dollar word. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad looked it up, and then laughed. I guess he doesn't care nearly as much as we do.

Why Should Iran Listen?

There is no reason for Iran to pay any heed to the United Nations sanctions or threats of future sanctions. Even if legitimate sanctions were levied, there would be the normal gaggle of bureaucrats that would undermine them as they did with Iraq. The only way to halt Iran's nuclear development is to destroy it now. Talk is cheap and works to the advantage of the Iranians. The Mullahs are soaking all of this in and getting a good laugh out of it.

Iran has enough allies, both strategically and economically, to divert any major impact of economic sanctions on them. They also are holding the rest of the region hostage with their potential nuclear capabilities. Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, and the others are already realizing that the West is going to do nothing and that China and Russia are going to be benefactors of Iranian development. They are going to have to choose sides soon. The longer they wait the less likely they can get away with minor apologies to Mahmoud.

Iran may be playing a game. They may be bluffing the whole world as to their present abilities. They may actually only intend to use the power to run it's cities. The problem is do we trust them? The answer is a resounding no. They have continuously clamored their disdain for the West, especially America, and Israel. When the opportunity comes to develop a nuclear weapon they will do it. Five years ago the world said that Iran was five years away from having the ability to go nuclear. That five years has come and gone pretty quick. Now experts with minimal information are saying that Iran is 5-10 years away from having a nuclear weapon building capability. If this is true, the next five years will go just as fast. Based on the track record of these experts, I wouldn't doubt that Iran is more like 1-2 years away from a nuclear weapon. Also, who says they can't get what they need from their buddy Kim Jong-il?

Things don't look good for the home team. Russia is again on the other side. China is sitting back watching us go into convulsions about what to do. The European Union will end up appeasing as always. Ehud Olmert is as lost with this as he was with Hizbollah. Iran has no reason to pay any mind to what the "world" wants. It's like a kid whose parent continually threaten rebukes and do nothing. The Mullah's and Ahmadinejad know exactly what they are doing. We are living down to their expectations.

Nice Cease Fire / Big Surprise / Gaza Video

It appears that Haniyeh and Abbas are about as affective as Arafat was. A ceasefire followed by gunfights followed by a ceasefire followed by gunfights. Tell me again why the "Palestinians" deserve their own country? They can't get along with themselves let alone their neighbor Israel. I have asked the question twice and I'll ask it again, where is the outrage? Children have been killed in crossfires and bullet sprays and no one in the World Community is up in arms.



Here's a prediction, there will be no peace in the Middle East. Israel will have to fight for it's existence for as long as it can. The rest of the Middle East will continue to be a cesspool of hatred and war. No level of diplomacy will ever solve the problems that these people have. The modern approach to warfare will not solve the problem. Unfortunately only a war of complete annihilation will eradicate the problems in the Middle East. The West has no stomach for this. This being said, we will face acts of terrorism for as long as Islam rules in the Middle East. For every one we kill, they will get ten more.

The Islamists conceive as fast as rabbits and get this kids into anti-Israel and Anti-American madrassas as soon as they can walk. There has been numerous writings on Islamic demographics compared to the "enlightened" west. We will be out numbered in the not so distant future. The Islamists will breed themselves into power. At this point we can expect the Armageddon explained in the Bible.

Reality is not pretty. The problems that the Islamists have are not induced by the west. They are self-induced tragedies that fester and grow by each generation. The laziness of the west will lead to it's own destruction. It won't disappear with a big boom. It will eat away at itself until there is nothing left. What a beautiful world we have built.

More on this:http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3360281,00.html

Hassan Nasrallah is admitting Hizbollah receives support from Iran funneled through Syria. What will the world do? Will the appeasers remain in denial? Will there still be people who refuse to believe what he has said? Will the worlds diplomats still claim we should sit down and talk to Iran? Will they still claim that Syria's overture of peace talks with Israel were legitimate? WIll the people of the world continue to live in an extremely dangerous fantasy world?

"Iran assists the organization with money, weapons, and training, motivated by a religious fraternity and ethnic solidarity," Nasrallah said. "And the help is funneled through Syria, and everybody knows it."

There. It's plain and simple for all to see. How about when he was asked about Hizbollah acting as a state within a state?

"Nasrallah said that the current Lebanese government has yet to fulfill its obligation of securing the release of Lebanese prisoners in Israeli jails, and getting Israeli-occupied land back. Accordingly, Nasrallah said that the people, or part of the people, are free to try and realize those goals by themselves."

He successfully avoided the question and did what any American politician would do and answer what he wanted to. If it continues on it's present course, the Lebanese government will be overthrown in the same manner it was when the Palestinians were allowed to have a say in Lebanese politics. I am no big fan of Fuad Siniora. He is a man that's in way over his head. I don't see the character in him to deal with issues that would be less pressing. The fact that he will not fight to defend himself or his country places him in the same pool with other limpwristed reformers.

Iran and Syria are involved in a was through proxy armies. Hamas and Hizbollah are nothing but the Iranian arm of death. With the admission of Nasrallah, Israel has every right to go after Iran. One sovereign nation is attacking another. To eliminate Hizbollah, the supplies must be cut off. Eliminate the financier and the people will turn on Hizbollah. The sooner this is done, the better.

What about the Karbala laptop and was this an act of war?

Originally posted at Right Truth

Threats Watch says, " ... the January 20 attack on soldiers from an American Civil Affairs Unit in Karbala, Iraq, was an operation planned and carried out by members of the Iranian Qods Force extraterritorial unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)"

If Iran is guilty, is this an ACT OF WAR against the United States by Iran? If so, how will the United States respond? How will we deal with the traitors who gave intelligence to the terrorists who abducted our American soldiers and proceeded to execute them in cold blood with a bullet to the head?

How the United States reacts to this incident can be seen as a barometer for how the Bush Administration intends to deal with the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism in both the short and intermediate term. This – a test - may have been a significant part of the probable Iranian decision to go forth with the operation, Chizari’s personal satisfaction aside. Threats Watch

In my original story, Something Stinky in Karbala and the Green Zone, I covered the coordinated attack upon Americans by men carrying American weapons, and wearing new U.S. military combat fatigues, driving SUV's that looked similar to U.S. government convoys, spoke English, and even looked American (one having blond hair).

What I missed was the one time mention of a computer, a laptop, that was also taken with the Americans. On Fox News the 'generals' who were commenting on the Karbala attack, also mentioned the laptop in passing conversation. But no news source, internet source, or other source is going into any detail about the computer. What was on the computer? Was the computer the main objective of this mission?

On January 27th, an Associated Press Report included a curious sentence in an overview of the attack:

"The attackers captured four soldiers and fled with them and the computer east toward Mahawil in Babil province, crossing the Euphrates River, the U.S. military officials said." (AP)

No mention of a computer appears anywhere else in the article, yet the article appears to have been written as if it was. While all the media outlets have been describing the attack as a kidnapping, the AP article hints at another possible reason for the raid, a military laptop. Elusive, well financed, supported, and trained attackers took four Americans and a laptop, within hours they killed the Americans. Was the computer the real target? Were the American soldiers kidnapped to provide the password and then killed? (Small War Council via Chris Albon

Other important aspects of this attack:

The attack in Karbala where 5 American soldiers were shot in the head made me wonder if the Iraqi police were involved or at least complicit. Now I wonder if this goes straight to top. One of the vehicles had a license plate registered to Iraq's minister of trade, Abdul Falah al-Sudani, a Shiite who belongs to the Dawa party whose members include Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Al-Sudani lives in the Green Zone and denied that the plate had been stolen. (Macon.com)

Ownership documents were found in two of the vehicles. No one seems to know where the military uniforms or IDs came from, but the SUV's traveled to Karbala along the road leading from Najaf, where anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr is headquartered. (more)

Anyone with any sources on the 'laptop', let me know.

Also questioning the importance of the computer:

The Pentagon on Tuesday said it had stopped selling surplus parts for the F-14 fighter jet, saying it was the "right thing to do," given congressional concerns that some parts could land in the hands of Iran.

Let them Fight

It appears that the Islamists have slowed down attacks on Americans and have focused their energies on each other. Civil War or not, it is better they kill themselves than us. The Sunni's see the Shiites as apostates and vice versa. This places them in the same boat with us in regards to who is considered the infidel. If they have decided to clean the Islamic house first then more power to them. While they are doing this we should be preparing for the aftermath.
Not only is there a possible Civil War ready to erupt in Iraq there is one going on in Palestine. Fatah versus Hamas. Israel should secure their border and let them go at each other. Egypt has recommended that the Palestinians should form one army. Diplomatically this may come across as a good sound bite but it is nothing more than that. In all this carnage someone is making money and gaining control and influence. Do you want to guess who?
Iran appears to be the supporting from the dim shadows. They have the most to gain from internal squabbling. They can finance both sides of each conflict and come out smelling like a desert rose. More than likely they aren't supporting the Sunnis but who really knows? Iran will hedge it's bets until they see a real winner and then put all of their support behind them. They are willing to do whatever they deem necessary to add support to their power pyramid.
Iran has it's hands in every conflict taking place that involves Islamists. Whether it be Islam against secular or Islam against Islam doesn't matter. With Syria as a lackey they can play the diplomatic game while funding battles and wars around the world. Iran is playing the west and the Islamists against themselves. All of this with the support of Russia and China. While the west squabbles internally the Islamists kill themselves.
Truth be told, I have no problem with Islamists killing themselves. I do have a problem with westerners that still think that a "sit down and talk" session would solve their problems. This is a fallacy that has proven itself to be a failure. The ironic part of the Islamist on Islamist violence is the silence in the media. If an American kills an Islamist there are investigations and such. If they kill each other it's a minor paragraph in the newspaper. An America bomb is used and a child dies the world is up in arms. If the Islamists kill children, nary a peep. But I digress.
Let them kill each other. They are proving themselves to be the barbarians that others have claimed they aren't. The descendants of Ishmael would be wild men and raise their hands against one another and others. No matter how we try to deny it, it appears to be playing out right in front of us.

90% of Nazis were not Evil


Photo Originally uploaded by pytey.

I would love to be open-minded. I would love for the lamb to lie down with the lion, for there to be no wars and no hatred or bloodshed. Any sane person wishes for world peace. And if wishing made the world so, I would certainly be open-minded.

I know in my heart that not every single Nazi without exception was evil. It’s impossible. Some of them had to be ordinary, civilized family men who got caught up in the maelstrom and were unable to extricate themselves. Does anyone really believe that all Germans were born evil, vile creatures? That would be racist indeed. How are the Germans who now live peacefully with their European neighbors any different than the Nazis of the last century? They are the same peoples speaking the same language, listening to the same music and operas, and observing the same customs and traditions as Germans have for centuries.

So what turned them into the most evil monsters in history [excepting present day Muslims]? Three things:
1) A state religion of moral superiority over all non-Aryan races. [it is no accident that Persia changed its name to Iran (Aryan) in blessed appreciation of the Nazi ideal]
2) A Plan to Take over the World
3) An extreme minority that intimidated and threatened the majority.

Obviously, with minor change to #1, these same three principles apply to Islam.

Truly, most of these evil men, had they lived under a different system, would have lived ordinary and useful lives.

Read the rest here.

Waiting For The Mahdi

From Brigette Gabriel:

Waiting for the Mahdi: Official Iranian Eschatology Outlined in Public Broadcasting Program in Iran



The website of the governmental Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) has posted a lengthy document titled "The World toward Illumination." The document is a transcript of an IRIB series on the imminent arrival of the Mahdi, the Twelfth or Hidden Imam, awaited by Shi'ites as the Messiah.(1)



The program describes in glowing terms the messianic age to be inaugurated by the Mahdi. He is to begin his uprising in Mecca, and then march on Iraq, where he will establish his "seat of world government" in the city of Kufa and subjugate the current world powers. This will be an age of unparalleled happiness; there will be completely new technologies at mankind's disposal, and "corruption, war, and rebellion will no longer exist." Neither will "liberal democratic civilization."



Various days of the year are mentioned as being propitious for the appearance of the Mahdi, though the program says that the precise date cannot be known.



The series also includes, in parts not reproduced here, a lengthy polemic against the West, focusing on Evangelical Christians, Zionism, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Hollywood. It also gives a historical survey of Western thinking, from Saint Augustine to Francis Fukuyama.



The following are excerpts from the transcripts of the World Toward Illumination program from the IRIB website, in the original English:(2)





(1): "Miracles of the Messiah Will Soon Be Here"



"...Where is man moving to? What will happen in his future? What fate will today's nations and civilizations have in the future? Will they destroy one another? Will a power, nation or civilization prevail? And finally to what direction will the speed of technology and modernity take man?...



"In the current era new interpretations of happiness and prosperity for man have been brought up. In these interpretations there is talk about welfare and worldly tranquility. Some believe that science and material progress automatically bring about prosperity, and man can attain sublimity on earth... But the world's reality shows that man more than any other time is searching for prosperity and tranquility. The daily increasing production of destructive weapons, domineering tendencies, racist wars, genocide and instability of world markets, all threaten the world's security and tranquility. Now western rulers under the slogan of liberal democracy are tyrannically and oppressively looting the capital of oppressed nations. The weakness of the family foundation, crime, violence, narcotics, human trafficking, anxiety and depression have faced the world's future with serious danger...



"...We invite you to tune in to our next programs to see how the future will turn out to be. And we invite you to listen to an inspiring poem.



"Be joyous my heart, miracles of the Messiah will soon be here



"The scent of breaths of the One we know comes from near



"Grieve not of sorrow and melancholy, as assured I was... last night



"That a Savior will come, it's clear."





(3): "How Beautiful and Auspicious Will Be the Day when the World is Cleansed of Deceit"



"How beautiful and auspicious will be the day when the world is cleansed of deceit and mischief and the government of justice is established throughout the world. On that day the perfume of life will begin to circulate within humans and the aroma of narcissus, irises and chrysanthemums will fill their soul. Undoubtedly such a day is nigh.



"Seeking pure water so thirsty am I,



"Moonlight surely appeals to my eye



"Oh bright dawn I desire you as I sigh



"The luminous sun I seek or I die..."





(6): "We Must Get Ready to Search for the Liberal Democratic Civilization in History Museums"



"...The West due to a lack of spirituality and morality is not able to respond to man's needs. Lack of attention to man's sublime needs in these societies has created social and cultural crises. Thus this civilization like those of many other Western theoreticians is just an unreal theory. It seems that in the same way that the Father of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini predicted the fall of communism we must get ready to search for the liberal democratic civilization in history museums."





(12): "Everything Will Be New and Fresh Like Spring"



"Undoubtedly, history will not end with the memory of man's failures; man's ultimate fate is not weakness and inability; and the sun will undoubtedly not spare its vital rays from anyone. Many Iranian poets have spoken of the rise of the sun at dawn and consider man to be worthy of living in a bright and beautiful world full of the aroma of spirituality, where there is justice and equality...



"Contrary to the views of western theoreticians, who usually depict an ambiguous and dark future for mankind, Muslim experts believe human history, despite its many ups and downs, has a very auspicious fate, and with the appearance of the Imam of the Age, Hazrat Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance), finally the world matters will gain order. Muslims believe hopes for the realization of such a happy ending for the world, are called 'Awaiting Redemption', and means waiting for man's problems to be solved by the Savior at the end of time. This awaiting influences many, and inspires them with activity and enthusiasm in confronting darkness and oppression for changing the existing situation...



"When that Promised Person who is the direct descendent of the Prophet rises up, the sun of justice and freedom will shine on the hearts and he with his kind hands will extend friendship throughout the world. His face will be attractive and his look charismatic. He is humble before God's greatness. He is a manifestation of God's glory and beauty. Imam Mahdi is the perfect human being. His behavior is praiseworthy and his manners immaculate. He is the embodiment of justice. His torch of guidance is for all mankind...



"In short, when he reappears, peace, justice and security will overcome oppression and deceit and one global government, the most perfect ever, will be established. He will make the earth prosper in a way in which no ruins will remain. Man's maturity will reach its height, full equality will be established among the people, and no one will be arrogant toward the other and will not try to dominate others. Finally, corruption, war and rebellion will no longer exist and everything will be new and fresh like spring."





(13): "Pure and Sincere People Must Be Trained to Help the Savior in His Implementation of Global Justice"



"Sometimes incidents that occur in the world are like an insignificant but infectious pimple that suddenly explodes. Some theoreticians support this view and believe that nothing should stop this volcanic explosion and we should allow corruption to extend so much that the prevailing system would disintegrate. But the uprising of Imam Mahdi... is not like this. This uprising is like a fruit that must pass through stages till it is ready to be picked. Thus, if the Savior has not yet appeared it is not because the world is not full of oppression, but because the time must come for the people to be wise enough and ready to accept justice. Pure and sincere people must be trained in order to help the Savior in his implementation of global justice..."





Monday November 20, 2006: "The Seat of the Mahdi's Global Government Will Be the City of Kufa" in Iraq



"He will appear as a handsome young man, clad in neat clothes and exuding the fragrance of paradise. His face will glow with love and kindness for the human beings and because of this reason a famous hadith from the Prophet of Islam... has referred to him as Inn-al-Mahdi Tavous ahl al-Jannah, which means 'Indeed the Mahdi will be like a Peacock among the People of Paradise.' He has a radiant forehead, black piercing eyes and a broad chest. He very much resembles his ancestor Prophet Mohammad... Heavenly light and justice accompany him. He will overcome enemies and oppressors with the help of God, and as per the promise of the Almighty the Mahdi will eradicate all corruption and injustice from the face of the earth and establish the global government of peace, justice and equity.



"Imam Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance) will appear all of a sudden on the world scene with a voice from the skies announcing his reappearance at the holy Ka'ba in Mecca. The cloak and other special belongings of Prophet Mohammad... will be with him. He is the essence of all good and the mirror reflecting the characteristics of the 124,000 Prophets sent by God for the guidance of mankind since creation. He calls on all and says I am Baqiat-Allah or the Repository of God on earth. The Prophet had said: Mahdi will appear with a cloud moving above his head. From the sky it will be announced that the hands of the oppressors have been cut and the best of men from the progeny of Mohammad has taken over the leadership. Then the birds will lay abundant eggs and the fish will exceedingly reproduce, the rivers will flow in all their glory and the springs will gush forth from the earth, and the fruits will be multiplied."



"In our discussion of the world in the last days of the earth we had said in our previous editions of this program that no source has pointed to the exact date when the Savior will appear and only God knows about the exact timing of the reappearance of Imam Mahdi... The Prophet had said: He will certainly appear and if only a day were to be left to the end of the world God will make that day so long for Mahdi to appear and rise. There are various versions of the exact day of his reappearance. Some say it would be Friday and the date will be Ashura or the 10th of Moharram, the heart-rending martyrdom anniversary of his illustrious ancestor, Imam Husain... Others say the date will be the 25th of the month of Zil-Qa'dah and may coincide with the Spring Equinox or Nowrooz as the Iranians call [it]. A saying attributed to the Prophet's 6th infallible heir, Imam Ja'far Sadeq... says the Mahdi will appear on the Spring Equinox and God will make him defeat Dajjal the Impostor or the anti-Christ as the Christians say, who will be hanged near the dump of Kufa....



"Then he will be joined by 313 of the most devoted believers, equivalent to the number of those that had accompanied the Prophet at the Battle of Badr, the first armed encounter imposed by the infidels on the Muslims. Imam Mahdi and steadfast devotees will gather in Mecca; the people of Mecca will be surprised at the presence of so many faithful. These enlightened individuals will pledge allegiance to the Mahdi...



"After his appearance the Imam would remain in Mecca for some time, and then go to Medina. According to narrations, Sofyani, a descendant of the Prophet's archenemy Abu Sofyan, will seize Syria and attack Iraq and the Hejaz with the ferocity of a beast. The Sofyani will commit great crimes against humanity in Iraq, slaughtering people bearing the names of the infallible Imams, and his army will lay siege to the city of Kufa and to Holy Najaf. Of course, many incidents take place in this line and finally Imam Mahdi sends troops who kill the Sofyani in Beit ol-Moqaddas [i.e. Jerusalem], the Islamic holy city in Palestine that is currently under occupation of the Zionists. Soon a pious person from the progeny of Imam Hasan Mojtaba... meets with the Imam. He is a venerable God-fearing individual from Iran. Before the Imam's appearance he fights oppression and corruption and enters Iraq to lift the siege of Kufa and holy Najaf and to defeat the forces of Sofyani in Iraq. He then pledges allegiance to Imam Mahdi.



"Another beautiful moment of the Savior's appearance is the coming down of Prophet Jesus... from heaven. Hazrat Mahdi receives him courteously and asks him to lead the prayers. But Jesus says you are more qualified for this than me. We read in the book Tazkarat ol-Olia, 'the Mahdi will come with Jesus son of Mary accompanying him.' This indicates that these two great men... complement each other. Imam Mahdi will be the leader while Prophet Jesus will act as his lieutenant in the struggle against oppression and [for the] establishment of justice in the world. Jesus had himself given the tidings of the coming of God's last messenger and will see Mohammad's ideals materialize in the time of the Mahdi. The seat of the Mahdi's global government will be the city of Kufa, where his headquarters will be the Sahla Mosque, presently outside the city that was the home of Prophet Idrees or Enoch long before the great deluge of the times of Prophet Noah. From here he will dominate the east and the west to fill the earth with justice...



"God will enliven the earth through the Mahdi after the corruption and vice wrought by the oppressors and sinner[s]. Thus his appearance will take place when morality and humanity have reached a dead end. The people's yearning for justice in the midst of all the oppression allows him to carry out his mission. In our time, many pray for his appearance and each day they renew their allegiance to him. "O God, make me one of his companions, show me his respected and bright visage, and hasten his reappearance."





Monday November 27, 2006: "After His Uprising from Mecca, All of Arabia Will Submit to Him, and Then Other Parts of the World as He Marches on Iraq"



"When the sun of freedom and justice shines, the sounds of a rider coming from afar will be heard. The winds obey him, and in his presence the turbulent seas and fiery storms will reach the shore of calmness. The appearance of the Savior will make the fragrance of eternal justice embellish the soul of the earth. The Mahdi... himself will say, my existence is the cause of security and peace for the world people.



"There are various narrations on the global government of peace and justice of Imam Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance and cleanse the Planet of all vestiges of sin and corruption). Narrations on the global government of justice, the universal government, the government of the deprived, the government of welfare and security, and each of these indicates one aspect of the Savior's government. The justice-spreading universal government encompasses all these. Prophet Mohammad... has been quoted as saying: I give you the good tidings of the Mahdi. He will rise in my Ummah [i.e. the Muslim nation], while my Ummah is entangled in differences and deviations. He will fill the earth that is immersed in oppression, with justice. And all those in heaven and earth will be content with him...



"...One of the first measures of Imam Mahdi... is fighting all centers of domination and power-mongering. In this way, Global Arrogance [i.e. the West headed by America] and its minions puffed up by their economic and military might will try to create problems but they will not be able to change anything in their favor. The Mahdi considers his programs within the framework of conventional criteria, and says: Fear God and surrender to us and hand over the affairs to us. It is up to us to quench your thirst from the spring, as we are the one[s] who take you to its source.



"The Mahdi's far-sightedness and firmness in the face of mischievous elements will strike awe. After his uprising from Mecca, all of Arabia will... submit to him and then other parts of the world as he marches upon Iraq and established his seat of global government in the city of Kufa. Then the Imam will send 10 thousand of his forces to the east and west to uproot the oppressors. At this time God will facilitate things for him and lands will come under his control one after the other. The Prophet's 5th infallible successor, Imam Mohammad Baqer... says: It is as if I see the Mahdi who has taken control of the east and the west, and all obey him.



"Thus, as is clear, in the justice-seeking government the clouds give way to bright sunshine, as the Promised Savior spreads his radiance on the earth. God's infinite kindness will give refuge to mankind and the brightness of truth and justice will be seen in all dimensions of life."





Monday December 11, 2006: "The Idea of Placing Humanity Under One Religion... is a Gift Given by Islam to Humanity"



"... Regarding the Islamic goal of the perfect and ideal state, it should be noted that the world desired by Islam is not a far-fetched idea like the utopia of the West in which the realities of today's society have no effect. Since the natural growth of man is toward sublimity, dedicated Muslims in each and every era strive to materialize the characteristics of the promised society to the best of their ability... The Father of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini (may his soul rest in peace) used to emphasize this and would say: We, of course, cannot fill the world with justice now. If we could we certainly would. But since we cannot, he, the Savior must come. The world is full of oppression and if we can prevent oppression we will have carried out our part of the duty..."



"With the reappearance of Imam Mahdi... conflicts, differences and discriminations that stem from lack of faith and atheism in the society will be eliminated. The shortcomings of religions and schools of thought will be clarified and Islam will prevail as the perfect pinnacle of faith. In other words, methods will become one and oneness will appear in people's beliefs. The Mahdi will materialize the call of the holy Qur'an, which throughout its text has urged mankind to unite and worship the One and the Only God without associating partners to him. The writer of the book Imamate and Mahdaviyat, says: the idea of placing humanity under one religion irrespective of their color, gender, language, class and ethnicity is a gift given by Islam to humanity..."





Monday December 25, 2006: "The Unjust System of Distribution and Denial of the Rights of Nations Will End with the Reappearance of Imam Mahdi"



"... In the weird system of today's powerful count[r]ies, moral and spiritual values have no place and are seen as undesirable liabilities that prevent these powers from reaching economic welfare and what they call true prosperity. However, the exploitation of the weak, the unjust system of distribution and denial of the rights of nations, will end with the reappearance of Imam Mahdi...



"One of the characteristics of the global government of the Mahdi is the astounding growth of science and technology. There will be an explosion of science. As we said last week, knowledge is made of 27 letters and up to now whatever man has discovered is within the confines of only 2 letters. But when the Mahdi appears the other 25 letters of knowledge will be at the service of mankind, which is something not imaginable with the limited knowledge that we have today despite the seemingly great progress in science and technology. The Mahdi will correct man's scientific mistakes and bring up new and astonishing methods that had never occurred to man before... The Mahdi will also regain the wealth and properties that have unrightfully been usurped by invaders and oppressors and distribute divine blessings among the people. Imam Baqer... says he will divide them with such equality that there will no longer be any poor person. In Islam's logic justice and good relations among people will lead to the flow of abundant divine blessings from the sky. Since people will have the best of qualities vital rains will pour down and all the earth will be filled with greenness and freshness. The Prophet had said in this regard: in my Ummah, the Mahdi will rise and people will gain such welfare as never seen before. The sky will repeatedly rain and the earth will hide none of the things it can grow."

A dangerous eschatology given the violent hands that handle it.
