Victor Davis Hanson on World War II and the War on Terror on National Review Online
Victor Davis Hanson on World War II and the War on Terror on National Review Online: "The last two weeks I have been following the route of the American Army's drive from Normandy into Germany in 1944-5. It is quite something to visit Aachen, Mainz, the H�rtzen forest, Bastogne, Omaha Beach, and Pointe du Hoc, and then juxtapose such visits with the daily pabulum in the International Herald Tribune, CNN, and the European dailies. And after two weeks, I think most would prefer the wisdom of the noble dead to the ignorance of the shameful living."

Soft on Islam
Last Sunday a Methodist minister in Coquitlam BC urged his parishioners to go out and set fire to all the area’s mosques. On the same weekend, a Catholic clergyman in Yonkers, N.Y. rigged a couple of his altar boys with dynamite-laden vests and sent them out to blow up the headquarters of the Muslim-American Association of New York. A month previous, a Baptist minister in Atlanta, Georgia called for the eradication of all Muslims and told his church that if they died while engaged in the act of killing Muslim "Infidels", they would be guaranteed a spot in Heaven, at the right hand of Jesus. A Rabbi in Stockholm, Sweden urged his Schul to form up gangs and "smite Muslims, wherever they may find them".
Sound absurd? Of course it does, as no Christian or Jewish cleric today would dream of doing anything of the sort. However, that isn’t the case with the world’s fastest growing religion. Almost daily, Islamic clerics are calling for, among other things, the destruction of Israel, the destruction of the Great Satan, America, the killing of infidel tourists around the world and the death of all Jews.
Ashcroft: Berger doc exposes security lapse
"'I certainly cannot say why the blueprint for security was not followed in 2000,' he said. 'I do know from my personal experience that those who take the kind of tough measures called for in the plan will feel the heat. I've been there; I've done that. So the sense of urgency simply may not have overcome concern about the outcry and criticism which follows such tough tactics.'"
Go Ahead, Call Us Cowboys
"In all the classic Westerns the hero, by dint of great courage and competence, fights alone for justice, achieves it, and leaves without riches or fame, with nothing but honor."
..and we don't care if you think its wrong when we *know* it's right.

"'We have to be accountable to Iranian citizens about this case not to a foreign country,' said Hamid Reza Asefi. "
...cool, so when your citizens decide your time is up, we will be right to lend them a hand...
Thanks!

Quadrant Magazine: "Large-scale organised protests against visiting US leaders were nothing new; but something about these demonstrations was. The tone was new: not merely strident, but shrill, vindictive, intemperate; but most noticeably, the real target was new. The object of the massed demonstrators' fury was not America's foreign policies, nor its alliance with Australia, nor, it seemed, even the recent war. The target was the United States itself. It was not what the USA did that was the problem; it was what the USA was."

"a poor family lived there"
(from an abcnews radio report)
It occurs to me why militants/insurgents/terrorists tell such outlandish bullshit lies...it's because they know whatever they say, no matter how outlandish, it will be reported...it is...after all..."the other side"...

Yahoo! News - Bush Touts Values While Taunting Kerry
"Bush's Michigan audience of political supporters groaned when Bush repeated Kerry's claim. 'I know, I know. Those were his own words,' the president said, contending that Kerry had been rated 'the most liberal member of the Senate, although he didn't identify his source. "
You are some conniving bitches at AP...either that or you have some of the worst wordsmiths of this time.
OpinionJournal - Extra
"But the reporters covering science in America today are so wretchedly miseducated"
Replace the word "science" with "economics" and you have another true statement...in fact I bet you could replace that word with a whole bunch of others and still be right...It's funny, actually, having so many poorly and wrongly informed people telling us what is going on in this world.
Foreigners Face Slavery-Like Life in Saudi
The hard-hitting report called on de facto Saudi ruler Crown Prince Abdullah to set up an independent commission to investigate the abuses and publicize its findings.
What's it going to be Abdullah? Are you going to be telling everyone, including us, the same story? I hope it has a happy ending...
Yahoo! News - Ridge Says Warning Was Not Political
"Those who suggest otherwise have reached 'rather cynical' conclusions, he said."
lmao
...
"I want some assurances."
lmao, you're in denial if you think anything is 100%...we ARE at war with some nutballs in case you hadn't noticed...you want assurances...good luck with that one.
Filmmaker uncovers shocking Palestinian 'myths'
WND is just full of on target stuff today.
Hello America,
It's time to wake up
time to take notice
time to make right
we can't sit here asleep 12 months of the year
nine would be fine
but for a month
or a tear

I'm thinking that the more people know about how those territories the Palestinians live in operate, the more they will realize what they need to do.
Let your people know...that you will only put up with so much bullshit before you snap.
Arab League urges UN against hasty sanctions on Sudan
CAIRO, July 11 (AFP) -- The Arab League on Sunday urged the United Nations against slapping hasty sanctions on Sudan and pressed the world body to work with Khartoum to resolve the conflict in the western Darfur region.
The league called on the Security Council to "give all possible support in implementing the agreement between the Sudanese government and the UN," in a statement.
What is Sudan going to do to get these people back hoe and prevent the sort of ignorance going on over there? What do you recommend fellow princes? You might want to come up with some before I get to it.
The league also pressed the United Nations "not be hasty in passing a resolution that would have the opposite affect of this agreement and the current efforts of the African Union (AU)" to ease the conflict in Darfur.
so...let me get thsi straight...You want to let Sudan figure this mess out...
Here's the deal Sudan...We are going to be sending in the Blue helmets, or perhaps even ourselves once this election is over...unless you want a real patriotic war right before the elcetion, if one of you fools wants to kick something off, we can oblige...
you do know we can take action at any moment, don't you?
I know you're not fool enough to believe that we are really that short on troops now...
:-)
There was and is a time when people forget, people stop talking about...but we know when there is a hush...an "its supposed to be secret" as in...don't tell the media...
BWUAHAHAHAAAHAAAAAAA.........
I remember those days...You didn't think in your little world that there were people so close...so near by that wanted the destruction of the United States...that these whackos weren't somehow deviant.
Strange fellows...
...strange fellows indeed...
ahhh the brainwashed...so inculcated to be free...so happy are we...I'm sorry dear Flag, what did you just say? (heavy sarcasm)
...but I digress...
oh, back to the "world tensions"
Genocide, ethnic cleansing are right out...either europe will stand up for principle, or it won't...France continues to be exposed for the charlatan she is...We will come, we will wreak some more destruction...life will go on (well, except for a few of your peers)...
....blah blah blah....
happy days are here again...
except here in the United States, they've never really left...
:-)
edit...
so...I read more...
"The AU has said it plans to send a 300-strong armed protection force to Darfur, where it has already deployed observers to monitor a shaky ceasefire."
300 people, eh?
generous...at least the Sudanese have no fear of your "occupation force"
oh, that's right, they're not afraid of shit from you.
