Oh wait, I meant:

It would be a first.

Charles, noticed no bitchin' about the last 3 threads.

So CAIR flacks lie. That's news?

Thank you for this thread, Charles.

We cannot let them

Re-invent History, rewrite what happened on 9/11 and on 2/93 (The First Attack on our World Trade Center).

Anyone who has a problem with reality will lie.

And I have to go to the bank and deposit my paycheck before the Big B.O. starts up the printing presses.

Things are closing in around them. They used to just have to tell half-truths and spin. They could get away with it because people weren't informed.

Now they must directly lie because people are informed enough to ask the direct questions.

I remember Sami Al-Arian claiming he had "FBI clearance". But what he meant was that he had been investigated by the FBI for a crime, and they had decided at the time there was not enough to charge him (i.e., he was "cleared"). A far cry from FBI clearance as most people understand the term.

Hoopie, ya' shit-slinging monkey!

We see you!

he can say what he wants to infidels.
fcker.

I just got ahold of another moonbat book today "challenging" the accepted wisdom and official version of what happened on 9/11.

Trying to put a serious, sage veneer on rank Truthism and conspiracy theory-itis.

The Left used to be swirling down the toilet. Now all one hears is the gurgling deep down in the pipe.

Hooper, you are an ass muffin.

re: #7 Cicero05

So CAIR flacks lie. That's news?

Many Americans haven't gotten the word yet, so yes,
it is news to many Americans that the Council to lie about American-Islamic Affairs, is lying.

Taqiyya is still not a word every American understands.

Disinformation, taqiyya, is a concept we all should know by know because it is deployed against us and our troops every day.

Our troops surged in Iraq (TRUE).
versus
Iraqis liberated themselves and there is no Al Qaeda in Iraq (taqiyya)

re: #12 MandyManners

Hoopie, ya' shit-slinging monkey!

Hi, {MandyManners}!

CAIR and Lies in the same headline is redundant.

I've been waiting for one of Hooper's interminable taqiyafests to turn into one of the speeches from Dr. Strangelove, where Hooper is trying to calm the stupid dhimmis, but all the while his robotic hand keeps trying to strangle him, or set off his suicide vest.

Yet CAIR is smart enough to go on FOX news to spin their taqiyya.

CAIR is smarter than Democrats, because CAIR wants to speak to all Americans and spread their disinformation worldwide.

re: #17 goddessoftheclassroom

Hiya'!

He was not an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center

If we analize this for nuance, Hooper is perfectly correct. Assume that, by chance, Wahhaj was in the WTC during 1993. He was not an unindicted co-conspirator at that time, therefore he was not "an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center."

Now, let us go FURTHER and analize Hooper himself ...

Delicious metaphor!

/... uh ... well ... yu' know what I meant.

Steve Malzburg had a guest on this week re this issue, and he said this guy is indeed a dangerous islamist for the things he has said, but, that the prosecutor at the time agreed that the guy was indeed not an un-indicted co-conspirator for that 1990s case.

wish I could remember the guest and name...sorry.

and they will keep lying as long as the person 'interviewing' is ignorant

these muslims should be told, if they are found to lie, they will never be invited back to speak on air, AND their LIES will be exposed next time they appear

if they REFUSE to appear, the TV presenter should announce that so and so is not longer invited to speak on issues because he has delibrately LIED

Here is the full list of unindicted coconspirators in the 1993 WTC Bombing:

re: #27 lawhawk

nice find. I could have sworn I heard to the contrary on Steve Malzberg's show this week. Guess I misheard it, or the guest was wrong...

Charles,

I wouldn't be surprised if Imam Siraj Wahhaj was an unindicted co-conspirator, but I wouldn't cite wikipedia as your source. I'd find an official doccument listing him as one, or a government site. You can at least be sure in those cases.

"By God and man dishonoured,
By death and life made vain,
Know ye the old barbarian,
The barbarian come again—
"When is great talk of trend and tide,
And wisdom and destiny,
Hail that undying heathen
That is sadder than the sea.

"In what wise men shall smite him,
Or the Cross stand up again,
Or charity or chivalry,
My vision saith not; and I see
No more; but now ride doubtfully
To the battle of the plain."

.

Russia's Izvestia newspaper this week quoted a "highly placed source" as saying Russia could land Tu-160 supersonic bombers nicknamed "White Swans" in Cuba in response to a planned U.S. missile defense shield in Europe that Moscow opposes.

On Tuesday, U.S. Air Force Gen. Norton Schwartz told the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee that if the Russians did refuel the bombers in Cuba "we should stand strong and indicate that that is something that crosses a threshold, crosses a red line for the United States of America."

re: #39 akak

let them have a couple bombers down there

Uh oh.

At the height of the Cold War, my father decided, like so many others in the forgotten corners of the world, that his yearning – his dream – required the freedom and opportunity promised by the West. And so he wrote letter after letter to universities all across America until somebody, somewhere answered his prayer for a better life. - BHO, in Berlin

...and then, as soon as he got his free education, knocked up a local girl and found he was punished with a baby, he split back to Kenya, wrote Marxist essays, got cushy job in the gov't and never sent so much as a dime to my mom. But at least he hated America!

re: #41 pingjockey

OT-For all us former military, another snafu/fubar at Minot AFB. Something to do with launch codes. The blood is gonna be waist deep.

Indeed.

Airmen at Minot Air Force Base, N.D., lost “positive control” of the launch codes for the 91st Space Wing’s intercontinental ballistic missiles July 12, Air Force Times has learned.

The “permissive action codes,” kept in a locked case, are needed to initiate the electronic system that allows missile officers to launch the nation’s ICBMs and are changed on a regular basis. They are kept in a locked case. The president also receives launch codes, and both sets are required to launch the nation’s ICBMs.

Three missile officers had completed the process of changing the codes for the system, down in the missile silo, and had returned topside to the silo’s living area for missile officers and security forces airmen, which includes beds, a kitchen, bathroom and other amenities, according to Col. Dewey Ford, a Space Command spokesman. While waiting to bring the action codes back to base, all three officers fell asleep — a loss of positive control in nuclear surety lingo.

When they woke up, the officers reported the incident. Ford said public safety was never at risk

re: #68 akak

I consider it nothing less (no more) than a misdirection play to get US assets out of place for others to take advantage.

Russia continues to back Islamists and other totalitarian regimes opposing the US, and restarting a mess with Cuba would keep the US plate quite full.

The Russians don't like the fact that we're playing in their backyard, and want to give the US a taste of what that's like. Never mind that the Russians don't have the power projection like they used to or that they can't sustain a long term deployment, but the idea is to send a message.

Damn, what you wrote just reminded me of Al Franken's book with a similar title. I doubt he'd consider CAIR to be liars, though.

Stand By Your Imam

Sometimes it's hard to stand with Muslims
When you hear their murderous imams
They can look bad, when they call for jihad
To spread sharia 'cross this land

But with an elastic view of freedom
You'll make what e'er excuse you can
You'll forgive them and stand with them
And you'll support that crazed imam

Stand by your imam
Put your approval seal on
Give him a rug to kneel on
When the muezzin sounds so loudly

Stand by your imam
Though some find it emetic
Be proud you're sympathetic
Give him all the support you can
Stand by your imam

re: #90 jcm

OT, but good for a laugh:

[Link: www.ft.com...]

It is good for a laugh since the author is Mohamed ElBaradei, his IAEA has done such good job with nuke weapons development I guess he thinks the UN should also handle global energy matters.

A few choice quotes:

'Countries as far apart as South Africa and Tajikistan are plagued by power cuts '

Uh, I think this reflects more a lack of investment by national governments into their power grids then due to any rise in global energy prices.

"In the developing world, 1.6bn people – about a quarter of the human race – have no access to electricity.'

Again, maybe this is due to the bad choices made by national governments (or more likely massive amounts of corruption) instead of the rise in energy prices?

'The need for co-ordinated political action on energy and related issues – climate change and poverty, to name but two"

Because the UN has been so effective at co-ordinated political action so far. Yes , let's give them another agency

"The United Nations co-ordinating mechanism, UN-Energy, is barely four years old. "

So, let me get this right, he wants there to be a UN agency to handle global energy issues, even though, according to that above quote, there is already one in place that is 4 years old? I'm I missing something?

Anyway, I have had enough fun with this. Read the article yourselves.

re: #98 astronmr20

My dad was stationed there at SAC.. he has some good stories.

Minot was my first assignment, but they yanked the top 3 grads in my tech school class and sent them to the AF Academy Hospital. I was a corpsman trying to get into PJ school.

Not completely on-topic, but I was digging around for a more definitive source on Wahhaj and ran across the following on Daniel Pipes's website:

In June 1991, Siraj Wahaj, a black convert to Islam and the recipient of some of the American Muslim community's highest honors, had the privilege of becoming the first Muslim to deliver the daily prayer in the U.S. House of Representatives. On that occasion he recited from the Qur'an and appealed to the Almighty to guide American leaders "and grant them righteousness and wisdom."

A little over a year later, addressing an audience of New Jersey Muslims, the same Wahaj articulated a rather different vision from his mild and moderate invocation in the House. If only Muslims were more clever politically, he told his New Jersey listeners, they could take over the United States and replace its constitutional government with a caliphate. "If we were united and strong, we'd elect our own emir [leader] and give allegiance to him. . . . [T]ake my word, if 6-8 million Muslims unite in America, the country will come to us." In 1995, Wahaj served as a character witness for Omar Abdel Rahman in the trial that found that blind sheikh guilty of conspiracy to overthrow the government of the United States. More alarming still, the U.S. attorney for New York listed Wahaj as one of the "unindicted persons who may be alleged as co-conspirators" in the sheikh's case.
