Abbas Gets a Catheter

Thu, May 1, 2008 at 6:24:02 pm PDT

Being the head of a terrorist organization that’s trying to keep up a front of not being a terrorist organization is evidently very stressful: Erekat: Abbas ‘doing very, very well’ after heart procedure.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas underwent an unannounced heart procedure at a Jordanian hospital on Thursday, adding new uncertainty to already troubled peace talks.

Aides to Abbas, 73, said he was doing well after a catheterization procedure they described as successful, and that he was expected to leave Jordan Hospital later in the day.

Abbas is due to return to the West Bank on Friday, they said, adding that they expect him to return to work immediately after his arrival. Spokesman Nabil Abu Rdeneh said a doctor recommended Abbas undergo the procedure during a routine medical examination Thursday.

Saeb Erekat, a top aide to Abbas, said he spoke to the Palestinian leader from the West Bank on Thursday afternoon. “He’s doing very, very well. He’s in very high spirits. He even joked to me,” Erekat said.

He has a heart?

Getting a catheter is not difficult. Unless you have no penis.

Oh, well. Maybe he'll start exercising and go on a diet.

But the quickest way to lower his stress level is to stop hating Israel.

Females don't have prostate glands. I think. Maybe some Code Pinkers do.

8 Dianna  Thu, May 1, 2008 6:28:38pm

How come we all immediately assumed it was a urethral catheter? I did, and was wondering why this was something that would be in the news, until I read the article.

9 Last Mohican  Thu, May 1, 2008 6:29:19pm

It's not that kind of catheter! This one goes in a few inches more to the side, and ends up in your heart, if you have one.

10 Bacchus's daddy  Thu, May 1, 2008 6:29:22pm

Prior to the operation, he no doubt wished he was flying to Israel rather than Jordan for the procedure.

It's easier to administer one on female, less plumbing to contend with. As to the experience, I could not comment.

Catheters are used for both sexes; I think the prostate might add to the discomfort, but someone mentioned that it was extremely unpleasant.

It's not that kind of catheter! This one goes in a few inches more to the side, and ends up in your heart, if you have one.

This coronary cath normally is feed in to the femoral artery in the groin. Big fat artery straight to the heart close to the surface.

33 EE  Thu, May 1, 2008 6:38:52pm

Abbas is a passing shadow. Abbas wants to live long enough to get some concessions from Israel that will threaten Israel's security and go against Israel's vital interests, as well as make Judea and Samaria Judenrein, and get Israel to make a promise that would open the door in the future to having millions of Arabs who were not born in Israel flowing into Israel to end the existence of the Jewish state. At some point Abbas will be gone, and Hamas will take over the West Bank and pocket the concessions that Israel makes.

The Olmert government needs to understand that any concession it makes to Abbas is a concession that eventually will be pocketed by Hamas.

One would think that before Norris started proposing "final solutions" to "problems" of people who "aren't like us," he would have realized that the Nazis, through the experiences of their mobile killing units, the einsatzgruppen, discovered that shooting wasn't a very efficient way of killing large numbers of people. How long until Norris or one of his buddies takes the next step, and advocates gas chambers?

Just how the [deleted] do the kostards make the jump from drawing a line that says "do not cross or else" to rounding up and exterminating people?

Maybe we should have one of 'em cross the "authorization" line around Air Force one to demonstrate the difference.

No doubt Abbas has returned to the important business of using the dumb European's money, and sadly, the U.S.A's to add more terrorist goodies for the Al Aksa scum, and keep those good old Swiss bank accounts full.

"Partner for peace", indeed.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is based on a true story: Chuck Norris once swallowed a turtle whole, and when he crapped it out, the turtle was six feet tall and had learned karate.

Chuck Norris once bet NASA he could survive re-entry without a spacesuit. On July 19th, 1999, a naked Chuck Norris re-entered the earth's atmosphere, streaking over 14 states and reaching a temperature of 3000 degrees. An embarrassed NASA publically claimed it was a meteor, and still owes him a beer.

Chuck Norris once shot down a German fighter plane with his finger, by yelling, "Bang!"

As for this human being in particular, I personally hope his doctor is Jewish. You know, for irony. In an Archie Bunker kind of way.

Chuck Norris's girlfriend once asked him how much wood a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. He then shouted, "HOW DARE YOU RHYME IN THE PRESENCE OF CHUCK NORRIS!" and ripped out her throat. Holding his girlfriend's bloody throat in his hand he bellowed, "Don't fuck with Chuck!" Two years and five months later he realized the irony of this statement and laughed so hard that anyone within a hundred mile radius of the blast went deaf.

Journalist Jack Sheehan discovers free speech!

In the United States, you can say anything you want about Islam and Arabs and get away with it. In other words, as someone said, 'You can hit an Arab free'," said Shaheen -- also author of "Reel Bad Arabs -- How Hollywood Vilifies a People".

In his next brilliant expose he will contrast that with free speech in the Arab-Muslim world such as In Saudi where a Turkish man is about to be beheaded for insulting Islam.

By the way, I know it is much easier and has less consequences, but why harangue Western Liberals (besides the fact that they have consciouses and actually care)? Would it not be much more beneficial to world peace to convince Arab Muslim terrorists that their religion does not actually jsutify their actions.

I mean what is a Kuffir supposed to believe, Jack Sheehan or his or her own lying eyes and ears?

Paul Harvey's "The rest of the story.." yesterday was about a young boy named Carlos who got beat up every day after school by a bigger kid named Billy until an old neighbor man convinced young Carlos that he should quit running from the bully and stand up for himself. The kid did take on the bully that very day and beat him up, ending the reighn of Billy the Bully. Anyways, I thought for sure young Carlos would turn out to have been Charles Bronson, but it turned out to be none other than Chuck Norris.

So he wasn't always a badass.

You do not do a cardiac cath (aka shootingdye in the dark) unless you have serious concerns about the narrowing of one or more cardiac arteries. While it is a fairly safe procedure, it has non trivial mortality and morbidity. Depending on what they found, you can expect further news that he underwent bypass surgery or similar. A roto rooter job (angioplasty) with a stent may be in his future too. Too much goat there buddy. The transfat will get you every time. Of course he might just up and kick the bucket and that would be the end of it.

There's a certain flag company here in the United States that makes all kinds of flags--countries, of course. They have regional strings of flags, too. The "Middle East" has no Israeli flag. Of course, there is a disclaimer which says that not every country is represented in their regional strings, but it sure seemed to have every Muslim, Arabic, and Persian country there. I'll bet they even had the "Palestinian" flag.

Abbas to Saeb Erekat: "What do you call 50 innocent jews killed by a retarded suicide bomber?"

Erekat: "I don't know, what?"

NEW YORK — After three decades of keeping mum, Barbara Walters now says she had a past affair with married U.S. Senator Edward Brooke, whom she remembers as "exciting" and "brilliant."

Appearing on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" scheduled to air Tuesday, Walters shares details of her relationship with Brooke that lasted several years in the 1970s, according to a transcript of the show provided to The Associated Press.

A moderate Republican from Massachusetts who took office in 1967, Brooke was the first African-American to be popularly elected to the Senate. Both he and Walters knew that public knowledge of their affair could have ruined his career as well as hers, Walters says.

At the time, the twice-divorced Walters was a rising star in TV news and co-host of NBC's "Today" show, but would soon jump to ABC News, where she has enjoyed unrivaled success. Her affair with Brooke, which never before came to light, had ended before he lost his bid for a third term in 1978.

And she "confessed" to her girlfriend OPRAH - who rabidly endorses a Black Democrat - and Babba gave out a revelation of how a married Black Republican violated his marriage vows.

Republicans might be racist (6+ / 0-)
Recommended by:wu ming, peraspera, naltikriti, Fitzmas Elf, unionboy, bnasley
but their actual policies towards the Middle East are no different from those of the Democrats.

After Clinton bombed Iraq and botched the Arab-Israeli peace deal, did you really think that Arab Americans were going to come out in droves to vote for Gore?

When Clinton says she wants to obliterate Iran, do you think that is helpful?

Generally speaking, I think Arab-Americans like Republicans for the same (bad) reason everyone else does: lower taxes.On foreign policy nobody in either party even pretends to care what they think.

At the beginning of my freshman year in high school we were introducing ourselves in my English class. A girl in ripped fishnet stockings, denim skirt, black shirt, nose ring, died black hair, and dark mascara said that on weekends she goes to cemeteries to 'weep for the souls of the lost'.
That's goth.
She dropped the class and every once in a while on Fridays our teacher would say, 'Have fun over the weekend doing whatever it is you decide to do, play sports, go out, or cry in a cemetery.'

Cutting yourself releases endorphins, which, to my understanding, are chemicals that trigger a positive feeling from your brain. Endorphins are also released during sex. Not that cutting yourself feels like sex, but you get the idea.

Nip it in the bud if you can.

Mockery might be the best method. Teenagers want to rebel, but they don't want to look foolish.


Yes. We want to make sure these remain casual friends...very casual.
A horse laugh or two, discretely timed, may indeed help.

I am not a parent so I really have no experience in such matters. I can only think that exposure to a broad variety of music styles and culture would be good.

Th first concerts that I went to as a teenager were Country & Western with my parents. Very uncool. Lots of fun.

They took us to see Blue Grass, Jazz and Classical.

Exposure is I think the key. You can't let his friends be the only ones exposing him to new musical experiences.

The kid will choose on his own. But you have three years to influence gently.

McCain's Better Half

Yes, Mrs. McCain is the perfectly coifed blonde standing dutifully behind the senator during his speeches. And yes, she wears stylish clothing and carries a Prada purse. And it's true she doesn't say much. But feminist critics who write her off as a "stand-by-your-man" shrinking violet are selling her short. In many ways, Cindy McCain stacks up sturdier than Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama. And she'd make a more impressive first lady.

Just got an interesting email from "World Net Daily Books" -- the publishing arm of World Net Daily, I guess -- thanking me for providing them with the cover of their latest release, "Why We Left Islam: Former Muslims Speak Out", which has the Persian Mohammed that's featured on the first page of the Mo Archive.

The email says,

This new title from WND Books (April 29, 2008, ISBN 978-0979267109) which features raw and shocking testimonials from 23 former Muslims uses on its cover a modified version of the 10th century Persian illustration from your site. Using an unveiled picture of Muhammad is a first for an American publisher.

I vaguely recall last year pointing them in the direction of the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris for them to get official copyright permission (since obviously I don't own the original).

Glad to know I played a small part in getting the first unveiled Mo on the cover of an American book!

Thank you.
I have teenagers, so I wanted to know.
My 15 yr old has a couple of casual friends who are "into Goth music."
Not perky.

Not all "Goth music" is inherently bad or dangerous. If it's the very early stuff like from Siouxsie or the Banshees and Bauhaus and so forth then I'd congratulate him on having good taste. But more likely the kids, not knowing any better, are listening to the latter-day recent crap "Goth" bands that are all pose and no talent, and only exist to exude gothiness and sell fashions.

Kids are always going to listen to music, and that music will always seem dangerous and awful to parents. Nothing to get too worked up over, I bet.

When I was young I discovered and listened to a lot of much older music that predated my time, and gave myself a musical education. Very glad I did, because it was better than the pop music of the era that my fellow teens were unfortunately listening to. If your son has good taste, encourage him to listen to "old" music and "world music" to broaden his horizons. There's an endless cornucopia of great sounds that most kids know nothing about -- and properly presented, it will still seem "cool" to him.

The religion of murder...

The US military on Friday blamed al-Qaida in Iraq for a double suicide bombing that killed at least 35 people and wounded 65 during a wedding procession through a crowd of bystanders cheering the bride and groom in a town northeast of Baghdad.

The attack occurred Thursday evening in Balad Ruz, a predominantly Shiite town 72 kilometers (45 miles) northeast of Baghdad amid heightened worries that al-Qaida in Iraq is regrouping despite recent security gains by US-led forces.

“There is a huge risk that the oil price simply continues to escalate until it gets to some level (possibly $250) when demand finally collapses because ordinary people can no longer afford to burn as much energy as they are burning now,” Adam Sieminski, Deutsche Bank’s chief energy economist, wrote in a report last Friday.

Pointing to the reasons behind the analysis, Sieminski underlines, “Oil supply growth in non-OPEC countries is struggling at a time when OPEC has been cautious with its production policies.”

That's exactly what's happening. Hillary is pulling ahead in the national polls, which gives her some legitimacy to stay in the race until the convention.
If she finds some way to get the superdelegates to vote for her and she gets the nomination, that will fracture the party for decades. The African American contingent who support Obama will be so angry that there will be hell to pay in Denver, and they'll never vote for Hillary.

And all of this makes me very happy.

I think I'm really on to something with my "Michelle is the Barack-Wright connection" thing. When asked if she was angry about Rev. Eright's speech, she said she was. But when Meredith Vieira asked if she felt the Rev. Wright had betrayed her husband, she dodged the question! She won't throw stones at the guy who's shellacking her husband!

I think that both Barack Obama and jeremiah Wright are a bit surprised at each other, because Michelle Obama has been the shuttle between them, creating the appearance of an alliance when really, there was none. Now they both thought they were getting a lot of mileage out of each other, but Michelle Obama may have been lubricating that relationship through some creative fibs.

So Barack Obama knows that he is the family pastor, and the Mrs. Obama has all sorts of good things to say about him. and Rev. Wright knows that Barack Obama is his pocket politician, and Michelle Obama reassures Wright that her husband is quietly "down with" all of that.

Once the Senator and the Reverend were forced to assess each other in public, the lies fell away. And between Michelle Obama, Barack Obama and Jeremiah Wright, the loathsome Wright was the only one who told the truth! His cards are on the table--the Obamas still have much to hide.

I'm still hoping for a knock-down drag 'em out brawl IN Denver.

(recreate '68)

Ever since I first saw those "Recreate '68" plans a few months ago, I've been scratching my head. I mean, 1968 was the absolute biggest embarrassment for the Democrats, possibly ever. At the height of the counter-culture, at the height of the anti-war movement, at the height of the youth culture explosion, when the Republicans had dragged out the most washed-up, uncharismatic sneering hack politician in the entire Republican party (Richard Nixon), who had already been utterly humiliated in 1962 when he lost a gubernatorial race after having already been VP for 8 years under Eisenhower, and who then infamously announced he was quitting politics for good; and when all the national sympathy was for the Dems and the left after RFK and MLK were assassinated -- and so in '68 the Democrats seemed to have every imaginable advantage, the energy, the charisma, the youth, the sympathy, the momentum, everything -- they still managed to snatch crushing defeat from the jaws of victory by allowing the moonbats of the day to riot and go berserk and basically show their true anarchistic/communistic colors. In the most hostile environment possible, Nixon yanked the Oval Office rug right out from under the Democrats. It was truly jaw-dropping.

There are a lot of parallels to today. McCain is similarly uncharismatic, just like Nixon; the Dems (claim to) have the youth, the energy and the momentum; and any sane analyst studying the situation from afar would tap the Dems for an easy victory in 2008.

But here come the moonbats, and just as in Chicago of '68, they want to throw a huge tantrum in Denver of '08, and in so doing hand the election to the Republicans during a year that should be a slam-dunk for the Democrats.

Why? What coluld be their motivation?

AN Egyptian woman has been sentenced to death by firing squad for the murder of her Filipina maid.
A Doha court heard that the victim, 24-year-old Melissa Tagoi, had suffered horrendous abuse at the hands of her employer, Abeer Zaki Ibrahim Mohamed, over a period of six months.
When the young woman’s body was recovered it was heavily bruised, some of her teeth were missing and it was clear that she had been starved of food.
As well as passing down the death sentence, the court ordered the woman’s husband Mohamed Radi el-Shahat Mohamed, 40, be jailed for three years for negligence. The family was further ordered to pay QR150,000 blood money to the maid’s relatives

Boredom. Ennui. Anomie. Literally. American Leftism is predicated upon not acknowledging the gifts we have been given. A moonbat (not synonymous with Democrat--for now) has no country, has no political process, has no vested interest in the future. They wander without a home, trashing the homes of others. The "Revolutionary Urge" is just another way of describing the vandalism committed by terminally bored dead-enders.

I picked up a copy of Time magazine yesterday, in which a columnist declared that issues of "character" were a "distraction" in the Presidential race. Obama actually said the same thing in his North Carolina press conference, that the Reverend Wright affair has been a "distraction."


Isn't this what liberals usually say when their own characters come under public scrutiny?


What a heap of pure poppycock!


Character is the primary issue in every Presidential election.


Period.


And we, the voters, have an inalienable right to know the specifics, as much as can be discerned, of a candidate's character.

Russia announced this week it was deploying about 1,000 additional peacekeeping troops to the region to counter what it said were Georgian plans for an attack. Georgia’s pro-Western leaders have called the reinforcement irresponsible and illegal. The Russian Defense Ministry said the contingent would remain within the 3,000 limit allowed under a United Nations-brokered ceasefire agreement signed in 1994.
“The contingent is completing the concentration of units in their deployment locations,” Russia’s RIA news agency quoted the Defense Ministry as saying in a statement. The Russian peacekeepers have begun equipping arms stores, vehicle parks and field kitchens. Operations are under way to guard the deployment points and fit out command points and communications systems.

Thousands of dockworkers at West Coast ports stayed off the job on Thursday in what their union said was a call for an end to the war in Iraq.

The International Longshore and Warehouse Union said more than 25,000 members in 29 ports stayed off the job. The action came despite an order issued Wednesday by an arbitrator directing the union to tell its members to report for work as usual in response to a request from employers.

“Longshore workers are standing down on the job and standing up for America,” Bob McEllrath, the union’s president, said in a statement. “We’re supporting the troops and telling politicians in Washington that it’s time to end the war in Iraq.”

Italian youngsters and members of a pro-Palestinian movement set Israeli and American flags on fire during a May 1st rally held at Turin's San Carlo Square, the Corriere della Sera reported.

According to the Italian daily, the decision to burn the flags at the event was reached several months ago after Israel was declared an honorary participant at next week's book fair in the city.

Most of the 30,000 people who took part in the rally dispersed following the flag-burning incident.

"We realize that our act was harsh, but what is even harsher is the daily killing of Palestinian civilians, including babies, by Israeli fire," one of the protesters said. "We are ashamed that Turin and the book fair organizers wish to respect and honor a country that does not cease to undermine the sovereignty of another."

He was jailed for 20 years for murder, but Rukhma ended up in prison too.

Rukhma, who doesn't know her age but looks younger than 20, had put up with her mistreatment for three months last summer before seeking protection and justice from authorities. Instead she was given a four-year sentence on Dec. 5 for adultery and "escaping her house" in Pakistan, even though she says she was kidnapped and raped.

The fall of the Taliban six years ago heralded new rights for Afghan women: to go to school or get a job, and be protected under the law. Women's rights are now enshrined in the constitution.

Blaming the victim common
Yet except for a small urban elite, a woman fleeing domestic violence or accusing a man of rape herself often ends up the guilty party in the eyes of judges and prosecutors.

"Why am I here? I'm innocent," Rukhma said, crying in a musty jail cell and cradling a baby daughter by her previous marriage whom she bore in prison. "It is cruel to have your son killed before your eyes and then to be imprisoned."

In parts of Afghanistan and neighboring Pakistan, where stern social codes prevail, a woman who runs away from home is typically suspected of having taken a lover and can be prosecuted for adultery. Simply leaving her house without her family's permission may be deemed an offense — as in Rukhma's case — although it is not classified as such under Afghanistan's penal code.

The chief prosecutor of eastern Nangarhar province who oversaw Rukhma's case suggested she got off lightly.

"If my wife goes to the bazaar without my permission, I will kill her. This is our culture," Abdul Qayum shouted scornfully during an interview in his office in the city of Jalalabad.

His colleagues laughed approvingly. "This is Afghanistan, not America," Qayum said

Your dog which got run over was named "Lucky"?

Yes. Somebody dropped him off in our driveway while my Dad (retired & RVing) was visiting. Daughter found him under the RV early one morning, literally raining fleas, tummy swollen like a child in an African famine picture, vomiting and diarrhea like I have never seen - beautiful yellow lab puppy, maybe 4 months old though that I've always guessed by the length of his legs. So, we picked him up and defleaed him, got some medicine from the USDA vet, fed him with a dropper. I kept him wrapped up in blankets on the couch and every time Dad came in he would stroke the little guy's head and say "Aren't you just a lucky sucker you found somebody to take care of you." Lucky survived, turned into one of the most beautiful yellow labs I have ever seen. One of the best dogs we've ever had.

GROZNY, Chechnya — Amina Edieva's abductor stalked her like a seasoned predator. He approached the slender, raven-haired 18-year-old student on a Grozny side street, hoisted her off the ground in a tight bear hug and dragged her into a waiting car.

She screamed, kicked and scratched at the man, but he brought three male friends, a driver and two backup abductors to ensure she couldn't escape. More young men in a second vehicle trailed, on the lookout for witnesses who might try to halt the brazen afternoon capture.

But Ms. Edieva knew that no Chechen would rescue her that September day nearly three years ago. Well versed in Chechnya's bride-abducting traditions, she understood she was caught up in a centuries-old ritual in which her captor, a suitor she had frequently rebuffed, was going to force her to marry him.

"I told him I hated him," she said, but he smiled.

"It doesn't matter if you love me or hate me," he told her calmly. "I want you, and you are going to be my wife."

Across Chechnya and neighbouring Ingushetia, violent bride abductions are staged nearly every week in the mountain-ringed, southern Russian republics known as the North Caucasus; during the spring wedding season, it can happen every day. Young women are snatched from bus stops, on their way home from school and sometimes out of their own yards. A shocking video with clips of men dragging screaming young women, their books, purses and cellphones sent flying, is a popular YouTube posting.

I can not call them animals, as animals are much superior morally than those monsters.
It made me sad...

Uh- no.

We know chimps can be really nasty and male aggressiveness is already recorded in our closest species, including the male infanticide. But this goes too far: not only previously thought gentle females are equally aggressive, but it's a common practice to kill and eat the babies of other females.

Our prison system......

..Young women in search of a friendship that could develop into a relationship have the opportunity to "hit up" Jamaal Turner via the website Inmate-Connection.

Turner's very short relationship with first-grade teacher Bridget Kelly didn't turn out so well. They met when he broke into her home, kidnapped her, robbed her, raped her, beat her, shot her three times, and left her for dead. Her story is featured today on the show I Survived.

Her father, journalist Michael Kelly (not the Michael Kelly who died in Iraq), describes the climax of their date:

The rapist didn't want to look her in the eyes as he killed her, so he told her to turn around. From about five feet away, he fired a 9 mm bullet into her back, just left of her spine. The bullet missed her heart and exited below her left breast. She fell. He stood over her and fired again. The bullet entered her upper-left buttock, ripped through her colon and exited just above the pubic area. For good measure, he fired again, the third bullet slashing across her lower back and creasing the flesh of her right elbow.
Somehow she survived. Jamaal Turner shouldn't have.

He has a forum to pick his next victim...He just has to wait for a bleeding heart to demand his release. [Link: www.moonbattery.com...]

Sometimes I question that Miguel. You really have to wonder just exactly how much power of reason some folks have. These for example -

[Link: www.jihadwatch.org...]

I've heard it said many times that the "fact" that animals don't play games or use tools or language is evidence of their lower intelligence. And yet I've owned cats that have invented games, various species of apes use tools. Most cats I have had have developed at least some limited vocabulary that they can verbalize - out, sometimes no. One or two have even learned to open the doors using their front paws like hands. And at least some animals have at least a limited moral code, if you count loyalty & protection of their pride/pack as morality.

I'm doing fine, thanks a lot! I remember your son's trip.

I hope he enjoys his trip a lot!
Singapore is supposed to be a wonderful city, extremely clean and orderly.
When he's back you can tell him about the strategic importance of Singapore, throughout history. ;)
12 years old is a magnificent age to travel and learn.

84 priests in the Danish church wrote an open letter, about the contrasts between Islam and Christianity. They say the two religions don’t have much in common.

The letter follows a letter written by the Danish Church Council in response to a ‘call for dialog’ from Muslim organizations. The parish priests stress that Christians and Muslims don’t talk about the same God. The signatories think that the council’s letter had gone too far concerning the theological and ethical bands between Christianity and Islam, and say that the two religions are rather opposites of each other.Carsten Vang, professor at the Lutheran School of Theology in Aarhus, says that in the debate about the relationship between Islam and Christianity it’s important to clearly say where they speak, and must speak, differently. He says that he knows from his many trips that Christians suffer in many places in the Middle East.

He doubts it when Muslim clerics present Islam as a religion of peace, when they openly approve of persecuting and killing Muslims who convert to Christianity. He signed the letter because it brought up that aspect.

Obama adviser: Israel must give up its nukes
May 01st 2008
More appeasement from the lefties. Gotta love it!

JERUSALEM – Israel should give up its nuclear weapons to ensure Iran halts its illicit nuclear program, argues an adviser on nuclear issues to Sen. Barack Obama.

Joseph Cirincione, director of nuclear policy at the Center for American Progress, also previously dismissed reports Israel’s Sept. 6 airstrike targeted a Syrian nuclear reactor as “nonsense” and called Damascus’ nuclear program “miniscule.”

Immediately following Israel’s air raid, Cirincione listed “Israelis [who] want to thwart any dialogue between the U.S. and Syria” as among those spreading rumors Syria was constructing a nuclear facility.

Obama is no friend of Israel. [Link: infidelsarecool.com...]

Cancer happens when the specific instruction that tells a cell it is time to die is for some reason erased or shut off. That cell becomes quite literally immortal, which is why it is so darned hard to get rid of cancer. All the cells that arise from that immortal cell are also immortal, so pretty soon you have a tumor. When the tumor gets big enough - or when somebody operates and misses just one cell - a bit breaks off, goes into the blood stream and finds a new home somewhere else.

Ahem - not sure about that.
Just ebcause we cannot understand what whales say to each other in their songs, and how they feel when they listen to each other doesn't mean that it isn't in some way transcendental for them.

We tend to look at what animals do under a strictly functional point of view.
Would you agree to ti if someone would describe your experience of listening to Bach in an empty cathedral as a function of your loneliness, not having found a mate? Or of that music as an expression for enticing females?

"adding new uncertainty to already troubled peace talks."

How many thousands of times have I read this line in relation to the "Pali"-Israeli conflict?

Every peace talk they have is uncertain and troubled before it ever begins.

The only certainty is that one side really isn't interested in peace.
