-RetweetSaddam Was Close to a Nuclear Bomb

Thu, Nov 2, 2006 at 8:29:50 pm PST

Here’s the New York Times’ November surprise: U.S. Web Archive Is Said to Reveal a Nuclear Guide.

Apparently, in 1991 Saddam Hussein was about a year away from a nuclear bomb, and possessed detailed plans to build one. The Times wouldn’t be publishing this if they thought it would help the GOP, and the angle here is that the Bush administration was sloppy with intelligence secrets, since some of the plans were made publicly available on the Iraq documents web site.

But it’s a weak last-minute play, that could just as easily be interpreted as a positive story for the Bush administration since it lends credence to fears of Iraqi WMD.

UPDATE at 11/2/06 10:17:02 pm:

Note paragraph 14 (hat tip: LGF readers):

Among the dozens of documents in English were Iraqi reports written in the 1990s and in 2002 for United Nations inspectors in charge of making sure Iraq had abandoned its unconventional arms programs after the Persian Gulf war. Experts say that at the time, Mr. Hussein’s scientists were on the verge of building an atom bomb, as little as a year away.

Is the New York Times actually conceding that Saddam was just a year away from having a nuclear weapon in 2002?

Knowing the plans to make a bomb actually arent a big problem. The primary problem with making bombs is actually the manufacturing process, the theory is actually simple. Also, method of delivery are a concern for states with burgeoning nuclear programs

. The Times' new-found concern for national security is unconvincing.

8 ManInBlack  Thu, Nov 2, 2006 6:37:56pm

I think that this story will probably equal itself out with positive and negative publicity. On one hand, if Saddam was that close to having nuclear weapons, the height of WMD, President Bush was correct in taking in Iraq before any of this research came to fruition.

If these documents were placed on the Internet and helped Iran further their nuclear program in anyway, the buck stops at the desk of the President and he has some explaining to do. Its a very serious mistake and while I'm a supporter of his, he will need to address the issue.

However, if Iran's nuclear program is peaceful, as the IAEA and Iranian officals suggest, then what is the issue?

Either way, this will bear close watching. I don't think it will have the effect that the NYT wants it to have.

9 gopninja  Thu, Nov 2, 2006 6:38:04pm

but telling every terrorist how were spying on them is ok...

10 Mr. Neutron  Thu, Nov 2, 2006 6:38:41pm

I think it will backfire on the NYT, as most of their 'gotcha' moments do. Is there any curiosity at the paper as to how or why Saddam would have such super-secret details on nuclear weapons? They filter everything through their "It's Bush's fault" machine, so they miss a lot of the true context of what they print.

I can't see how this helps the left, it only reinforces how much of a threat Iraq was and how necessary it was to remove Saddam from power.

11 x-ray  Thu, Nov 2, 2006 6:39:05pm

If this story helps the GOP the NYT will have a copy of the actual prepared statement on front page tomorrow.

12 DesertSage  Thu, Nov 2, 2006 6:39:45pm

I think that the NY Times is mis-calculating this one.

At first glance it says to me that Saddam had, or was close to having, a nuclear weapon. I think that's where most peoples attention span ends.

13 Cartman  Thu, Nov 2, 2006 6:40:00pm

This one is gonna get the left's panties all in a bunch. Which way do they go with this? Doesn't matter. The MSM will figure out how to spin this one, either way. Just wait for the ultimate in leftspeak to emerge tomorrow.

The NYT accusing the Bushies of playing fast and loose with classified documents, possibly jeopardizing national security.

Pot, meet Kettle.


And if Saddam was so close to building nukes that the paperwork alone gives away valuable information to other nuclear wannabes, does the NYT really think this undermines Bush's arguments that he needed to be taken out?

21 mallardducklintbrush  Thu, Nov 2, 2006 6:45:05pm

Wasn't this an archive where untranslated documents were placed to get help in translation because so few documents had been translated? I seem to remember that some real jewels had been found which indicated things like WMD's being moved around to avoid the inspectors. Why won't the MSM go after stuff like that? Nevermind, I know the answer.

27 Tasty Beverage  Thu, Nov 2, 2006 6:48:23pm

The message the NY Slimes is trying to get across is that the Bush Administration has endangered us by putting these documents (un-edited) on the web for all to see. In other words, the Republicans really aren't better at security than the Dems, since security was the one big issue that the Republicans easily outscored the Dems on in all the polls.

So, we should all vote for the Dems (is what the Slimes wants the reader to think).

Nice try. Iran was working on a nuke long before these documents were put on the web.

Grunting "Allah akbar!"..?
Man Escorted From Planet Fitness Gym For Grunting

You can lift, strain, crunch and sweat all you want at the Planet Fitness in the Dutchess County village. But whatever you do, do not grunt.

Yep, "no grunting." It says so, in black and white, on a sign posted at the gym. One former member learned the new rule the hard way.

"This is really absurd, especially the part about the grunting," said Al Argibay, a corrections officer who learned first-hand "no grunting" means exactly that.

Argibay, a former competitive bodybuilder, joined the gym in September because it was affordable and convenient.

Planet Fitness is also somewhat picky, with a long list of dos-and-don'ts posted right inside the door.

"No grunting or screaming" is listed, along with "no bandanas or do-rags."

"We're creating an atmosphere that's not intimidating," said Carol Palazzolo, the gym manager, who yanked Argibay's membership on Monday.

Argibay said he was at a multi-press station, getting ready to squat about 500 pounds when the forbidden sin happened. "I let out a grunt, squatted down, back up, grunt again. That's it," explained Argibay. "Basically, grunt, grunt, basic breathing in heavy, and breathing out."

Grunting is commonplace at most gyms, but not Planet Fitness, which discourages so-called "musclehead behavior."

There's even a flashing light and siren on the wall, labeled a "lunk alarm," which sounds if someone grunts or drops weights on the floor.

Is it ok to grunt while working out?

Palazzolo admits she called the cops on Argibay. The Wappingers Falls police report said officers were asked to "escort a member out of the club for grunting while working out...which is not conforming with the rules of the establishment."

But Palazzolo said that's only part of the story.

"He did grunt, and when I told him he wasn't allowed to grunt, he got irate at me, he swore, and he yelled at me," Palazzolo said. "I asked him not to [grunt), he got irate and nasty, and I can't have him in my facility if he's gonna do those kind of things."

Argibay denied he yelled, cursed, or acted inappropriately. He demanded an apology from the gym and its manager.

"It's an attack on my character, and it's very embarrasing, and an insult," Argibay said. "At the end of the day, after serving your community as a corrections officer, the last thing I want is to be escorted out of the gym by the local authorities."

Palazzolo is standing her ground.

"I'm not out to hurt anybody," she said. "If he feels I hurt his feelings, I apologize for that, but I do not apologize for the way I handled the situation and I am not apologizing for our etiquette at Planet Fitness."

32 NY Nana  Thu, Nov 2, 2006 6:50:05pm

Let me get this straight; there were never even a hint of WMD according to the Dhummies, yet now they had the possibility of making a nuclear bomb? Puhleeze. Sounds very Kerry-esque to me, or were they a little bit pregnant?

To be honest, know-how is not the biggest part of the picture anymore. After all, Sadaam had a Frenchie-supplied reactor before the Israelis bombed it. Clearly, his scientists had nuclear know-how from their French training.

The big part is the manufactoring process.

And we all should be concerned at the fact that this know-how nontheless made it's way onto a public web server.

Why didn't the Times publish these documents in full detail while they were mistakenly available? Or at least trumpet the web link while it was still hot. Their nosy questions made the government go and hide these newsworthy details from us.

I guess there's no thrill for them in printing national security secrets unless they are illegally obtained.

Of course not. I designed a nuke in 8th grade. Fortunately I lacked materials. These people are Kerry retards. The ones who study so hard and are so politically correct that they are the smartest people in the world. Read "The Marching Morons".

But by 8th grade I had some chemical bombs that were interesting.

45 NJDhockeyfan  Thu, Nov 2, 2006 7:02:58pm

Has anyone posted this yet?

Ted 'Splash' Kennedy was working with the Soviets to stab Carter in the back during the Democrat primaries, then continued to try to undermine Reagan after he became President.

He shit on our country to seek his own power hungry appetite.

The KGB files Mitrokhin retrieved indicate that Kennedy fixed the blame for heightened international tensions on the Carter White House, not on the Kremlin. Kennedy at the time was challenging incumbent Carter for the Democratic nomination for president.

Tunney told his KGB counterparts that Kennedy was impressed by the foreign policy statements made by then General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev. Kennedy saw in Brezhnev a leader who was firmly committed to the policy of "détente," the report said.

But, in Kennedy's estimation, the Carter administration had assumed an overly belligerent posture toward the Soviet Union after the invasion of Afghanistan, Mitrokhin wrote.

In Kennedy's view, "the atmosphere of tension and hostility towards the whole Soviet people was being fuelled by Carter" as well as by some key advisors, the Pentagon and the U.S. military industrial complex, the Mitrokhin report states.

Throughout the meeting Tunney remained focused on the separation between Kennedy's proposals and the official stance of the Carter White House. While official U.S. policy called for the withdrawal of Soviet forces from Afghanistan, Kennedy avoided "touching the question of the legality of the presence of Soviet troops," Mitrokhin reported.

Instead, Kennedy relayed through his envoy, Tunney, his support for a withdrawal of Soviet forces that would be coupled with policy directives that "guaranteed non-interference" by competing foreign powers in the internal affairs of Afghanistan.

Since there was intense disagreement between Kennedy and the administration on policy toward the Soviets, Tunney told the KGB that the Massachusetts senator had concluded "it was his duty to take action himself, which could force the Carter administration to act to de-escalate the crisis," Mitrokhin wrote.

In 1980 Kennedy lost to Carter in the Democratic primary, and the incumbent in turn lost to Ronald Reagan in the general election.

As was previously reported by the Cybercast News Service Kennedy also subsequently made overtures to Soviet officials aimed at thwarting Reagan's military buildup in the 1980s.

Kennedy had offered to help the Soviets organize a public relations campaign in the U.S. that would dilute support for Reagan's policies. Once again, it was Tunney who traveled to Moscow on Kennedy's behalf to relay the senator's proposals.

The particulars of Kennedy's proposals are discussed in a letter dated May 14, 1983, that was sent from the head of the KGB to Yuri Andropov, who was then general secretary. Romerstein acquired a copy of the letter from a contact in Moscow who had access to the Kremlin archives.

"The letter speaks to the degree of opposition and the lack of understanding liberals like Kennedy had toward Reagan's policies," said Lee Edwards, a distinguished fellow at the Heritage Foundation.

"Reagan knew we had to build up our armed forces before we could apply pressure to the Soviets." The notion of fighting to win the Cold War was an alien concept to liberals like Kennedy, Edwards added, because they had grown accustomed to the policies of containment.

This sack of shit should be rotting in prison right now.

second, nuclear plans, for crude Hiroshima-type bombs have been around courtesy of UC Berkeley for decades

I'm sure the liberwhackies at MIT also float that info around too

so there is no shortage of how to make crude fission bombs, not to mention EMP bombs, chem weapons on down to even a lowly zip gun, all available to the general public for years

plus, doesn't the NYT think that Iran has not already gotten help from their neighbor in Pakistan, AQ Khan already ?

If North Korea was able to make a nuke back during the Clinton years by being so much farther away and non moo slum then iran is likely already about to push go any day now on their own test

Well, there you have it. Second paragraph. That's as far as I got, that's as far as most people will get.

59 kay1212  Thu, Nov 2, 2006 7:16:38pm

well, that story clarifies everything.

If the US would have left Saddam alone since there was no reason to go in there, there were no WMD's being developed, then Iraq would be a counterforce to Iran and our soldiers wouldn't have been killed or injured.

But we DID go in there.

So NOW, the US has made a horrible mistake by allowing the world at large to see papers from inside Iraq.

Papers are bad.

Someone might build a WMD with those papers. Not Iraq, of course. But someone else.

Since Iraq could be trusted with the papers, never ever giving anybody any indication Iraq would use the papers to build WMD, then Iraq was actually the "keeper of the papers" which was a good thing because when the very dangerous papers were in the hands of Iraq, the world was safer than when the papers were in the hands of the US who allowed the papers to be viewed.

Good evening lizards - and good moring from Israel! I am getting my kids off to school and I put the radio on. It seems that the IDF has intensified its operation in Gaza, and at least 60 terrorists tried to hide in a mosque (shooting from it also, of course). The IDF started bulldozing down the buildings next to it, and the mosque's ceiling fell down on them.

Note: Umar's Mosque on Temple Mount is seen being blocked by an Israeli wall, which reflects on the track system to Auschwitz. Muslims deny any Jewish connection to Temple Mount. Since 1948 they have claimed that Jerusalem (al-Quds, that name being a corruption of the Hebrew el-Kadish) is the 3rd most holy city in Islam. That is BS. There is no reference to the city in the unholy koran. This is al-Taqiyah at work. Muslims are bred to lie, and die as liars. You can trust them as far as you can spit against a hurricane.

United States Scares The Crap Out Of Britons..

(who else, Reuters...)

LONDON (Reuters) - The United States is seen as a threat to world peace by its closest neighbors and allies, with Britons saying President George W. Bush poses a greater danger than North Korea's Kim Jong-il, a survey found on Friday.


A majority of people quizzed in three out of four countries polled also rejected the March 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

The findings came just days before the U.S. mid-term congressional elections, with a growing number of U.S. voters wanting their troops in Iraq to be brought home.

Britain's Guardian newspaper said it carried out the survey along with Israel's Haaretz, La Presse and Toronto Star in Canada and Mexico's Reforma.

Experts say that at the time, Mr. Hussein’s scientists were on the verge of building an atom bomb, as little as a year away.

Is the New York Times actually conceding that Saddam was just a year away from having a nuclear weapon in 2002?

French violence hits fresh peak

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4413250.st m

A night of rioting in France has left 1,408 vehicles burnt out and resulted in 395 arrests - the highest tolls yet in 11 nights of unrest.

Ten policemen were injured by shots and stones when they confronted 200 rioters in the Paris suburb of Grigny, with two policemen seriously hurt.

President Jacques Chirac has said restoring order is his top priority.

Meanwhile a man who fell into a coma after being beaten last week is thought to be the first fatality of the unrest.

Jean-Jacques Le Chenadec, 61, was reportedly struck by a hooded man in the street after he and a neighbour went to inspect damage to bins near their apartment block in the town of Stains, in the Seine-Saint-Denis region outside Paris.

His widow has been received by Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy.

Appeal to Muslims

Muslim leaders of African and Arab communities have also issued a fatwa, or religious order, against the riots.

(Side note, WTF? You can issue a Fatwa on a Fatwa)

further: "They really shot at officers, said local police commander Bernard Franio.

"This is real, serious violence - not like the previous nights. I'm very worried because this is mounting."

Since 1948 they have claimed that Jerusalem (al-Quds, that name being a corruption of the Hebrew el-Kadish) is the 3rd most holy city in Islam. That is BS. There is no reference to the city in the unholy koran.

I've had some fun for the last few years telling people to go to the USC MSA website and plug the word "Jerusalem" into the koran search feature and count how many times there's a match (zero), and then contrast that with a search at a site like biblegateway.com (over 700 IIRC).

The traitor MSM loves to repeat "third holiest site in islam". Never "the holiest site in Judaism", which is what the Temple Mount is, and how it should primarily be referenced. They also never mention all the Christian churches and Hindu shrines that have been co-opted or destroyed to make way for mosques.

Notice how deliberately vaguely this is written. "Experts say that at the time..." At what time? Early 1990's or 2002?

The LLL's are going to argue that since Saddam was able to build a nuke by the early 90's, and still had not done so by 2002, that proves that he wasn't intending to do so. They're also going to argue that some of the "conservative" members of Congress who pushed to put these documents on the web over Negroponte's and others' objections were criminally negligent--and some of them are up for election in just a few days.

I don't think it will fly. You're going to have conflicting claims about how dangerous this material really is, and only about .0001% of the public is in a position to judge that issue independently. The Republicans just need to go on offense immediately: no, this is no big deal. It's the materials, not the know-how, that matter, and Iran's been pursuing nukes too long for this literature to help them.

Unless one considers (as some French officials seem to do) the current situation as “normal.” In the first six months of this year there were 50,000 acts of urban violence by Muslims.

Doesn't compute. Frank Reich falling under the hordes from inside, on the way to become Frankinstan. I sure hope not.

About Oaxaca I'm preety sure that Chavez is involved. To what point I can't tell, but he sure is mixed there.
OTOH the problem with Mexicans is thay they (we) do what they like, in the long run. So any plans that Chavez has for them are going to be followed as long as the moonbats in Oaxaca fancy. So, he's in, but not in control.

If Iraq was trying to develop a nuclear weapon since 1991, and we waited until Bush Jr. was in the White House to stop the program, how does anyone explain the that North Korea and Iran are also going nuclear and no one has stopped their programs? Were the names of potentially dangerous nuclear nations put in a hat, and Iraq was the one drawn as the lucky winner? Wow, what a strategy.

I'm more concerned the bomb-making information was made Google-friendly. Talk about a world class f*ckup.

Afghanistan and Iraq were rightly the first targets--Every one of the existing 54 Muslim Autocracies on this Planet is a potential "nuclear danger" and the survival of Western Democracy is predicated on reducing the potential of Nuclearization of all of these 1.3 billion Lunatic Jihadist Barbarians who are more than happy to self immolate and sacrifice millions of fellow Muslims to acheive a World dominated by Sharia--once that is accomplished they can again direct their energies at wholesale sectarian murder and mayhem without missing a beat-- next on our list is Iran, Syria and Pakistan--its our only option to win the war on terror!

I believe your answer lies in the question of their Faith. No nation will long stand if their Faith in God evaporates. If the French can find God again, they'll live.

I might be wrong, but I have the impression that since the sixties the information of how to make a fision bomb has been publically available.

My father graduated from M.I.T. in the late fifties. As a sophomore, he spent some time at Alomogordo. He said they were pretty open with information about how to build a fission bomb. Fusion was a whole different matter.

I can't precisely remember the first time I heard some talking head pontificating about how a physics grad student could design a workable bomb.

Men Are Just Happier People--

What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth.
The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress~$5000. Tux rental~$100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks.


A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend. Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.


Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck. You can play with toys all your life. Your belly usually hides your big hips. One wallet and one pair of shoes one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can "do" your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.

Everything on your face stays its original color. Even those yellow bags under your eyes? The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You're young, right? You still have HAIR?! HAHAHA! You only have to shave your face and neck. And pluck the hairs out of your ears and nostrils...IF you can see them. You can play with toys all your life. Go for it. And keep your toys in your garage, okay? And don't forget that emerald necklace I get BEFORE you buy your toys... Your belly usually hides your big hips. They don't make muu-muu's for men? Who knew? One wallet and one pair of shoes one color for all seasons. No wonder nobody notices you! You're monochromatic! You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. But don't be surprised if women point to you and laugh in the streets. You can "do" your nails with a pocket knife. Got tetnus shot? You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache. You got me again. ;-) You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes. And pay full retail.

A lot like when Fedayeen tries to run U.S. roadblocks with human shields, including pregnant women. It's war, it's unfortunate, but you must defend yourself. They choose their barbaric tactics, we don't.

Religious buildings are off limits under the Geneva Convention, unless you fire from and use them as military positions. Do that and any mosque is fair game for leveling.

Perhaps others have already mentioned this but the above is NOT the same as having the appropriate materials to do so.em>

Iraq's WMD Secreted in Syria, Sada Says

The man who served as the no. 2 official in Saddam Hussein's air force says Iraq moved weapons of mass destruction into Syria before the war by loading the weapons into civilian aircraft in which the passenger seats were removed.

ANOTHER FORMER HIGH-RANKING IRAQI OFFICIAL CONFIRMS WMD WENT TO SYRIA

Ali Ibrahim al-Tikriti was a southern regional commander for Saddam Hussein’s Fedayeen militia in the late 1980s and a personal friend of the dictator. Units under his command dealt with chemical and biological weapons.

A senior Syrian journalist reports Iraq WMD located in three Syrian sites

Nizar-Nayouf, a Syrian journalist who recently defected from Syria to Western Europe and is known for bravely challenging the Syrian regime, said in a letter Monday, January 5, [2006], to Dutch newspaper “De Telegraaf,” that he knows the three sites where Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) are kept.

Deputy Undersecretary of Defense John A. Shaw: Russia Moved Saddam's WMD

A top Pentagon official who was responsible for tracking Saddam Hussein's weapons programs before and after the 2003 liberation of Iraq, has provided the first-ever account of how Saddam Hussein "cleaned up" his weapons of mass destruction stockpiles to prevent the United States from discovering them.

For those in still in denial, Saddam's WMD went to Syria...

... Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. James Clapper, former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, now director of the National Imagery and Mapping Agency, told reporters that U.S. surveillance satellites captured images of vehicle traffic dispersing WMD materiel to urban locations in Iraq and moving large quantities into Syria as well.

Maybe others have missed this, but having intelligence and not acting on it isn't the same thing and dismissing information from your publication to mislead your readers for short-term "gotcha" headlines against your pollitical opponents could have deadly consequences.

I also notice no western intellligence agency has yet to apologize for providing information leading upto the Gulf War that substaniated there was materials inside Iraq, but hey, many would rather Hans Blix have the final word to the detriment of US security.

The NYT and the Boston Globe are both bleeding money. The more they thrash with news stories like this, trying to spin it as bad for The President, the more they expose their sedicious lying socialist ways. The more they do that, the more they will turn away readers. Before long, they will both be "consigned to the scrap heap of history". Face it, the times has fewer readers than the NY Post or the Daily News. Unless they change their ways, they won't get any new readers. And they will never do that.

Umm, the US was founded by men who based their philosophy on reason, not faith.

One other fact to consider is that the islamic world has very strong faith. As strong as the Western world did--in 1300AD. Would you say that they're doing better than us? If so, by what measure (other than the strength of their faith)?

When men hold to faith, then the only means of resolving disputes is physical force. Have we ever seen that in the world?

The web should remain neutral and resist attempts to fragment it into different services, web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee has said.

Recent attempts in the US to try to charge for different levels of online access web were not "part of the internet model," he said in Edinburgh.

He warned that if the US decided to go ahead with a two-tier internet, the network would enter "a dark period".

Sir Tim was speaking at the start of a conference on the future of the web.

"What's very important from my point of view is that there is one web," he said.

"Anyone that tries to chop it into two will find that their piece looks very boring."

342 ibmkeyboard  Fri, Nov 3, 2006 1:03:35am
But telecoms companies in the US do not agree. They would like to implement a two-tier system, where data from companies or institutions that can pay are given priority over those that cannot.

This has particularly become an issue with the transmission of TV shows over the internet, with some broadband providers wanting to charge content providers to carry the data.

The internet community believes this threatens the open model of the internet as broadband providers will become gatekeepers to the web's content.

Providers that can pay will be able to get a commercial advantage over those that cannot.

There is a fear that institutions like universities and charities would also suffer.

The web community is also worried that any charges would be passed on to the consumer.

FLASHBACK: NYT Reveals Bombshell Just Before 2004 Election:

BAGHDAD, Iraq, Oct. 24 - The Iraqi interim government has warned the United States and international nuclear inspectors that nearly 380 tons of powerful conventional explosives - used to demolish buildings, produce missile warheads and detonate nuclear weapons - are missing from one of Iraq's most sensitive former military installations.

The huge facility, called Al Qaqaa, was supposed to be under American military control but is now a no man's land, still picked over by looters as recently as Sunday. United Nations weapons inspectors had monitored the explosives for many years, but White House and Pentagon officials acknowledge that the explosives vanished sometime after the American-led invasion last year.

Bearster, whatever you do, don't read the writings of the Founders, or it will destroy your statement.

Not only were the Founders men/women of faith, they were of the Evangelical Christian faiths. Census from 177? 98% Non-Catholic Christians, -2% Catholic, -.5% Jewish.

They founded an Evangelical Christian Nation.

Christians who want to live in Israel follow the rules.

Non-Christians who want to live in US should also follow the rules that the Founders set up taken from scripture. I have no problem with this, as nothing in the Constitution violates, and on the contrary upholds Torah.

Supporting Our Troops [Mark Steyn]

I find the Derb/Jay line, agreeing that Senator Kerry was making a joke about Bush, highly implausible. If you talk to Democrats of the middle-class and upper-middle-class and (in John Heinz Kerry’s case) the neo-Gulf-emir-class, you’ll have heard the same thing a thousand times: these poor fellows in Iraq, they’re only there because they’re too poverty-stricken and ill-educated so they couldn’t become Senators and New York Times reporters and tenured Queer Studies professors like normal Americans do. That is, in fact, what they mean by the claim that they “support our troops”: they want to bring them home and retrain them so they’re not forced into taking jobs as Bush’s torturers and thugs. It’s part of the same condescension as describing soldiers as “our children”. If a 22-year old intern wants to drop to the Oval Office broadloom, she’s a grown woman exercising her freedom of choice. But, if a 28-year old guy wants to serve in Iraq, he’s a poor wee misguided Grade Six drop-out who doesn’t know any better. John Kerry’s soundbite is interesting not because it’s the umpteenth self-inflicted wound by Mister Nuance but because it gets right to the heart of the Democrats’ “support” for the troops.

Top House Democrat Charlie Rangel said Tuesday that it was an act of discrimination to label groups like Hezbollah "Islamic terrorists."
Asked about the refusal by some European governments to declare Hezbollah an Islamic terror group, Rangel told WWRL's Steve Malzberg and Karen Hunter, "To call it Islamic terror is discriminating, it's bigoted, it is not the right thing to say."

Rangel even questioned whether, in fact, a worldwide Islamic terrorist movement even existed, saying, "We just take for granted that there is an Islamic terror movement because we do have some fanatic people who come from Islamic countries."

The Harlem Democrat complained: "When we had the Ku Klux Klan we didn't call them Baptist terrorists. When Hitler was killing Jews, we didn't call it Christian terrorists."

On the subject of nuclear program, I translated and posted a document last month dated January 2001 that shows with a shadow of doubt that Saddam was personally involved with his nuclear scientist to re-build the nuclear program. In this document it states that Saddam personally approved his Iraqi Atomic Energy Agency to re-use nuclear equipments that include something called “Degussa Furnaces” that were used in the previous and prohibited Iraq nuclear program. These furnaces can be used to melt uranium and other nuclear related activities.

Islamic teaching could resolve world problems -- Prince Charles

ISLAMABAD, Oct 31 (KUNA) -- Prince Charles Tuesday said that the world problems could be resolve by following Islamic teachings, as Islam is a religion of peace and brotherhood.

Prince Charles while addressing a ceremony during his visit to Fatima Jinnah Women University (FJWU) stressed on better relations between Islam and other religions.

He said that clash of civilizations could be averted by following the teaching of Islam and Quraan.

Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla Parker, British Ambassador and others members of delegation were also present on the occasion.

Prince Charles also expressed grief and sorrow over the destructive earthquake that killed more than 73,000 people and left 3.5 million people homeless. The Prince is likely to pay visit to quake hit areas Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) on Wednesday. (end) amn.

Rediscovering God in America: Reflections on the Role of Faith in Our Nation's History and Future

By Newt Gingrich


A simple walk through Washington, DC, to view the significant monuments, memorials, and artifacts found in our Nation's capital, began a profound journey of personal discovery and renewal for Newt Gingrich, one of America's most influential politicians and commentators. His first stop was the National Archives, where the immortal words from the Declaration of Independence that we "are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights" jumped off the page and into his heart. From day one in our country's history, the Author of freedom was not the state nor even the Founding Fathers. Our basic human rights and freedoms, which have been the spark for all of America's accomplishments and greatness, were - and are - "Creator-endowed." Gingrich sounds a clarion call for us to recognize that the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness that we hold so dear are inseparable from a sincere and humble acknowledgement that these gifts are only the Creator's to give.

Democrats seek to close the 'God Gap'
By Jane Little
BBC News, Washington

The 2004 election gave the Democrats a serious wake-up call.

Polls revealed religion as a striking predictor of voting behaviour - the more often a voter attended church, the more likely they were to vote for President Bush, by a wide margin.

That is not a good thing in a nation where more than 90% believe in God...

British believe Bush is more dangerous than Kim Jong-il

America is now seen as a threat to world peace by its closest neighbours and allies, according to an international survey of public opinion published today that reveals just how far the country's reputation has fallen among former supporters since the invasion of Iraq.

Carried out as US voters prepare to go to the polls next week in an election dominated by the war, the research also shows that British voters see George Bush as a greater danger to world peace than either the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il, or the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Both countries were once cited by the US president as part of an "axis of evil", but it is Mr Bush who now alarms voters in countries with traditionally strong links to the US.

Gunmen may have dressed as women in mosque raid

The IDF said on Friday that they suspected that Palestinian gunmen had dressed up as women in order to foil the army's attempts to gain access to the mosque in Gaza where Palestinian operatives were holed up inside.

Hamas radio station in Gaza broadcast a call to northern Gaza women to go to the mosque to serve as human shields for the operatives inside.

A 19-hour standoff between IDF troops and the operatives ended Friday morning after all the operatives fled.

IDF soldiers surrounded the mosque in the northeast Gaza Strip town of Beit Hanun and exchanged fire with the dozens of Palestinians who were inside.

Good morning, LGF.

The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed in the 1990s that Saddam Hussein had an advanced nuclear weapons development program, had a design for a nuclear weapon and was working on five different methods of enriching uranium for a bomb. The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.

--President Bush, State of the Union address, 2003


U.S. removes 1.77 metric tons of low-enriched uranium from Iraq, 2004

Ivan Oelrich of the Federation of American Scientists said at the time that if enriched further, the uranium already possessed by Iraq would have been sufficient to build an atomic bomb (last line of the linked article).

John Kerry wants the US to be more like €urope:

Under Fire And Over There

Britain's armed forces are operating below strength and beyond their capacity, according to a highly critical report.

The National Audit Office claims over 5,000 extra soldiers are needed to meet existing defense commitments around the world.

It also says that morale is so poor within the ranks that 10,000 staff are leaving every year.

Other reasons for going early included feelings that the work of the services is no longer valued and concerns about the quality of equipment.

I saw this over at Sky News - they were having a "your comments" segment on this story, and someone e-mailed quoting an unofficial navy website that a British soldier needed to buy some milk, and went into a store do so, only to be refused because he was in uniform. That's what John Kerry wishes would happen in the US.

John Kerry and the liberal €lite, of course, don't run any stores - that would be beneath them - but they do run the Democrat party. And they'll make sure no soldier in uniform gets any service from them, no matter what.

The sheik offered to be judged by an ethical tribunal made up of a judge and two lawyers, aided by two translators, to rule on the contents of the September 22 sermon.

If the panel found him guilty of inciting rape, he would:

- "Retire from all religious work and positions."

- "Place a masking tape on my mouth in public places for six months to discipline this mouth for uttering these words."

- "Commit myself to public service duties (600 hours in any women's organisation which provides social services to Australian women)."

If acquitted, the sheik would make a decision about his future which "will serve democracy" and enhance "coexistence and harmony between the Muslim community and its Australian society away from extremism and racial fanaticism".
...
He called on his followers to support Australia: "We consider ourselves as servants to Allah firstly, and servants to Australian society secondly."

5. You folks have done a great job of show prep for Rush this week. His show has been almost 100% down the line with the dead thread discussions. Good work.

6. The economy keeps on growing.

All signs indicate that U.S. job growth probably strengthened to a decent, if unspectacular, 123,000 jobs in October, up from the tepid 51,000-job rise posted in September, Wall Street economists said Thursday.
"It is moderate job growth, enough to keep the consumer sort of chugging ahead," said Josh Shapiro, chief U.S. economist at MFR Inc. "No great shakes, but not a disaster."

No great shakes? Such job growth is beyond the wildest dreams in the EU, and in the US we almost take if for granted. Just let the Democrats take over Congress and you will not see such job growth for a long, long time.

The unemployment rate is predicted to hold steady at 4.6% for the second straight month.

Opinions from Economists differ of course, but 4.6% unemployment is considered in the range of "full employment". No matter what you do, you will have some unemployed for technical reasons. The EU will never see 4.6% unemployment.

"These materials are the sobering evidence of a great danger. Certain regimes, often with ties to terrorist groups, seek the ultimate weapons as a shortcut to influence.

Result of inner nut search on Joel 2:3/2:4 (LXX numbering)

...Even the church has forgotten that the God of the Bible is “the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob” (Ex
3:15,16, and 11 more times).

No matter what one thinks of Jews, God chose them as a “special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth” (Dt 7:6), the “apple of His eye” (Dt 32:10; Lam 2:18; Zec 2:8).

He gave them the land of Canaan “from the river of Egypt unto...the river Euphrates” (Gn 15:18) to be their “everlasting possession” (Gn 17:7,8;
1 Chr 16:16-18, etc.), promising that Israel’s latter end would be better than her beginning (Ezk 36:8-38; 37:21-28, etc.), and that she would never cease to be a nation (Jer 31:35,36).

He declared that the land of Israel was His land never to be sold (Lv 25:23) and that all nations would be punished for dividing His land (Joel 3:2). This is God’s Word!

World leaders (including professing Christians, President Bush and Condoleezza Rice) have openly defied God by dividing His land, giving most of it to Arabs who fraudulently call themselves “Palestinians,” claiming that Israel is occupying their land. In fact, they have stolen land God gave to Israel.
.
.
.
Like politicians, religious leaders, too, defy God. In 2002, D. James Kennedy, R.C. Sproul, and dozens of others declared that Israel has no special title to land in the Middle East, having been replaced by the church.

They claimed that all of God’s “land promises specific to Israel in the Old Testament were fulfilled under Joshua.” One trembles at their defiance of God, who has said: “Behold, the days come...that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; but, the LORD liveth, which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land” (Jer 23:7,8).

The obvious fulfillment of such promises today (not in Joshua’s day) rebukes those who say that the church has replaced Israel!

Some get 'it', some don't.

Scandal! Why would a leftist, pro-terrorist blogger like Juan Cole get access to the US Gov, "Open Source Intelligence Center" data? I know that this material is available to Research centers. But if they are giving this material to Cole, why not give it out freely? Cole posted this OSIC translation of a report on the negotiations (Amman, Jordan) between the Iraq government and the terrorists. Your local media would have no access to this information, but leftist Chomskyites do:


Report by Faysal Malkawi in Amman: "Contacts Between US Officials and Armed Factions... ...and the Postponement of the Reconciliation Conference. The Iraqi Government Meets Representatives of the Ba'th Party and the Armed Resistance in Amman. Calls for Reconsidering the Decision To Dissolve the Army and Canceling the Deba'thification."

Al-Ra'y (Internet Version-WWW)
Tuesday, October 31, 2006 T10:36:04Z

It was announced in Amman yesterday that the Iraqi national reconciliation conference, which was scheduled to be held on 4 November 2006, has been postponed until after the middle of the same month. Falih al-Fayyad, a member of the Higher Committee for Iraqi Reconciliation, told Al-Ra'y that the postponement came to allow for more time for dialogue and consultation with the Iraqi political spectrum inside and outside Iraq. The postponement announcement came following talks the Reconciliation Committee delegation, which is supported by the Nuri al-Maliki government, held at the Iraqi Embassy in Amman with around 40 Iraqi political and tribal figures, all of whom are members of the Sunni opposition. Al-Ra'y has learned from Iraqi sources attending the talks that the committee delegation might during its stay in Amman meet Iraqi figures and leaders of Iraqi political movements living in Syria before completing its mission by meeting Iraqi figures of various political persuasions living in the UAE.

The sources also said that Iraqi Vice-President Adil Abd-al-Mahdi and Deputy Prime Minister Barham Salih will visit Amman soon to meet senior Jordanian officials and leaders of Iraqi political, academic, and tribal forces living in Amman. The aim of the visit is to give further momentum to the dialogue, which aims at involving everyone in the ongoing political process in Iraq, especially the Sunni Arabs. One of the most important results of the Amman meetings is that many personalities and forces, after the dialogue sessions, expressed willingness to attend the upcoming reconciliation conference. This was unlikely before these dialogue sessions.
The committee delegation was comprised of Falih al-Fayyad, Nasir Al-Anil, Deputy Yunadim Kanna, and Sa'd al-Matlabi, representative of the National Dialogue Ministry.

Iraqi Ambassador in Amman Sa'd al-Hayyani said that the Iraqi delegation met with Iraqi politicians representing various shades of the spectrum in the political process. He noted that the importance of the meetings in Amman stems from the fact that the members of the Iraqi community in Amman represent the elite of the Iraqi people in various fields. He added that the delegation will meet those with and against the government to urge them to participate in the political leadership conference, which is slated to be held in Baghdad in November. He admitted that there are contacts between US officials and Iraqi resistance factions in Amman; however, he stressed that the meetings held during the past two days at the Iraqi Embassy in Amman are not related to those contacts.

Part 2 of 2

He explained that the Americans have their channels and tools for talks with whomever they want to talk to regarding the Iraqi situation. He noted that it is possible that "some of those who attended the meeting are from the armed resistance factions, moving under a political cover." He said that the most important idea proposed during the meeting by the forces that are not involved in the political process is to "reconsider the army dissolution decision, to not ignore the highly professional generals, and to cancel the Deba'thification Law."

At the same time, Hasan al-Bazzaz, secretary general of the Movement for the Iraqi National and Pan-Arab Forces, Huquq, which brings together Iraqi political and tribal figures, said that "most of the attendees are former Ba'thists and military leaders." He stressed that "the Ba'thists represent a main element, whether in the opposition or inside Iraq."

Although Juan Cole spent 6 years in Egypt, he never acquired fluent Arabic. I wondered how he got some of his information. Now I know.

Dr Fawzi al-Juburi, representative of the national resistance, said that "it is the national resistance that represents Iraq, and talks should be exclusively held with it should there be a desire to overcome the tragic situation the country is going through as a result of the US occupation."

Al-Juburi revealed that the Iraqi resistance factions met a UN delegation in meetings held in Amman last year to look for a solution to the crisis in Iraq.

The War on Terror's greatest achievement for peace so far, I think, has been the disruption of A.Q. Khan's nuclear proliferation network in Pakistan, and this NYT hit piece gives the Bush Administration an opportunity to speak of that achievement once again.

The disruption of the A.Q. Khan network would not have occurred without the decisive military intervention in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Before Afghanistan, Pakistan's government was a key supporter and ally of the Taliban, and before Iraq, Libya was quietly obtaining nuclear technology as part of the A.Q. Khan network.

I need to get a move on, and do some happy chores. Let me just put here some words of history, the words of an army who had their mission clear, their priorities straight, and who were rewarded with great victory:

2 Chronicles 20:20-22 (New International Version)


20 Early in the morning they left for the Desert of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, "Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith in the LORD your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful." 21 After consulting the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the LORD and to praise him for the splendor of his [a] holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying:

"Give thanks to the LORD,
for his love endures forever."

22 As they began to sing and praise, the LORD set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated.

God is good. God is very very good.

See you all later :)

It should also be pointed out, that the verifiable disarmament of Libya's weapons of mass destruction programs was achieved in short order, once the decision was taken by the Libyan government to cooperate with international arms control officials.

Saddam was given 12 years of opportunity to do the same, but instead actively decieved and obstructed the disarmament he had agreed to as a condition of ending the 1991 Gulf War.

al-Guardian sez: Britons [the world] wary of Bush more than Kim Jong-il: poll
[Link: news.yahoo.com...]

In Britain, which alongside Israel is traditionally a close Washington ally, 69 percent of those questioned said they felt U.S. policy had made the world less safe since 2001.

A majority of Canadians and Mexicans agreed, with 62 percent of those polled in Canada and 57 percent in Mexico saying their neighbor's policy had made the world more dangerous.

As for Israel, just 25 percent of people asked said Bush had made the world safer, while 36 percent felt he had upped the risk of conflict and a further 30 percent said at best he had made no difference.

Israelis alone were in favor of Bush's decision to invade Iraq, with 59 percent for the war and 34 percent against.

The ratio was starkly different in the three other nations.

Some 89 percent of Mexicans felt the invasion to topple Saddam Hussein was unjustified, as did 73 percent of Canadians and 71 percent of Britons, the survey said.

As I predicted the other day, the media would come up with another "gay" outing in order to distract attention from the Kerry fiasco, and sure enough at the top of the hour on ABC radio news, they breathlessly reported some evangelical dude in Colorado that I've never heard of allegedly solicited gay sex.

Whoop de damn do.

Anyway, in real news, Bill Gertz reports that the U.S. speeds attack plans for North Korea

The Pentagon has stepped up planning for attacks against North Korea's nuclear program and is bolstering nuclear forces in Asia, said defense officials familiar with the highly secret process.
The officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the accelerated military planning includes detailed programs for striking a North Korean plutonium-reprocessing facility at Yongbyon with special operations commando raids or strikes with Tomahawk cruise missiles or other precision-guided weapons.
The effort, which had been under way for several months, was given new impetus by Pyongyang's underground nuclear test Oct. 9 and growing opposition to the nuclear program of Kim Jong-il's communist regime, especially by China and South Korea.
A Pentagon official said the Department of Defense is considering "various military options" to remove the program.
"Other than nuclear strikes, which are considered excessive, there are several options now in place. Planning has been accelerated," the official said.
A second, senior defense official privy to the effort said the Bush administration recently affirmed its commitment to both South Korea and Japan that it would use U.S. nuclear weapons to deter North Korea, now considered an unofficial nuclear weapon state.
"We will resort to whatever force levels we need to have, to defend the Republic of Korea. That nuclear deterrence is in place," said the senior official, who declined to reveal what nuclear forces are deployed in Asia.

British believe Bush is more dangerous than Kim Jong-il: US allies think Washington threat to world peace; Only Bin Laden feared more in United Kingdom

America is now seen as a threat to world peace by its closest neighbours and allies, according to an international survey of public opinion published today that reveals just how far the country's reputation has fallen among former supporters since the invasion of Iraq.

Carried out as US voters prepare to go to the polls next week in an election dominated by the war, the research also shows that British voters see George Bush as a greater danger to world peace than either the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il, or the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Both countries were once cited by the US president as part of an "axis of evil", but it is Mr Bush who now alarms voters in countries with traditionally strong links to the US.

What a pile of horseshit. I guess they didn't "fear" us when we were weak and had a President with his pants down around his ankles.

Women act as human shields to free gunmen from Gaza mosque by Adel Zaanoun
1 hour, 36 minutes ago


BEIT HANUN, Gaza Strip (AFP) - Palestinian mothers and wives braved Israeli helicopter gunships to rescue 15 fighters besieged in a northern Gaza mosque, using their heavily veiled bodies as human shields.

ADVERTISEMENT

"We risked our lives to free our sons," said Um Mohammed, a woman in her 40s, after the daring rescue that followed protests against a bloody Israeli operation in the northern Gaza Strip that has killed 24 Palestinians.

Militants from various armed groups, including Hamas, had been besieged in the al-Nasr mosque since Thursday, seeking protection from Operation Autumn Clouds, one of the biggest Israeli incursions in Gaza for the past four months.

Braving gunfire and tanks, around 400 women and other demonstrators gathered to protest against the Israelis at one of the entrances to the town. Three of them, one a woman, were killed and another 25 people were wounded, medics said.

6. The economy keeps on growing.

Opinions from Economists differ of course, but 4.6% unemployment is considered in the range of "full employment". No matter what you do, you will have some unemployed for technical reasons. The EU will never see 4.6% unemployment.

You are right about the EU, but some of us (Denmark) in the EU is doing rather god :D


Unemployment continues to shrink.

Another fall in the jobless rate has experts beginning to wonder, 'how low can it go?'

Unexpected job growth in September has the nation's jobless rate nearing record lows. The current 4.2 percent unemployment rate is the lowest level since 2001.

The consensus amongst economists was that the unemployment rate would remain unchanged. The momentum showed by last month's figures - and the available job pool - has experts predicting that unemployment will continue to decrease into 2007.

Overfishing May Harm Seafood Population

WASHINGTON (AP) - Clambakes, crabcakes, swordfish steaks and even humble fish sticks could be little more than a fond memory in a few decades. If current trends of overfishing and pollution continue, the populations of just about all seafood face collapse by 2048, a team of ecologists and economists warns in a report in Friday's issue of the journal Science.

"Whether we looked at tide pools or studies over the entire world's ocean, we saw the same picture emerging. In losing species we lose the productivity and stability of entire ecosystems," said the lead author Boris Worm of Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

"I was shocked and disturbed by how consistent these trends are - beyond anything we suspected," Worm said.

A guy named Worm wants to prevent fishing. Sure, just being selfish and looking out for his own.

Second, they confirm a truth they made a lie-- about Saddam and the WMD's-- and now they will lie to avoid that truth.

Rangel's Ugly Agenda

John Kerry's insult this week of, supposedly, the "president, not the troops" overshadowed another story: Top New York Democrat Charlie Rangel's own vitriolic outburst, calling the vice president a "son of a bitch."

In an interview with The Post, the aspiring chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee lashed out at Dick Cheney, suggesting the veep seek "rehab" for "whatever personality deficit he may have suffered."

Don't Dems have any respect for America's highest political offices? (Maybe they should be called the Gutter-crats.)

But President Bush made clear just what's at stake if the donkeys retake the House and Rangel comes to chair that critical panel.

"A vote to send a Democrat to Congress is a vote to make the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee a man who has suggested cutting off funds for our troops on the battlefield," Bush said.

The prez was referring to Rangel's threat to de-fund the Iraq war. Long a foe of the Iraq campaign, Rangel has said, mischievously: "You've got to be able to pay for the war, don't you?"

Rangel has voted:

* Against cuts in estate taxes.

* Against repealing phone taxes.

* Against $137 billion in corporate tax cuts in '04.

* Against $330 billion in cuts in '03.

* Against Bush's plan to slice taxes by $1.35 trillion over 10 years in '01.

* Against $792 billion in trims over 10 years in '97.

* Against a five-year plan to cut $189 billion in '95.

But Rangel made sure to vote in favor of President Clinton's tax hikes in '93.

...

Wednesday, Cheney poked fun at Kerry for now claiming his slur of the troops - er, the president - was a "botched joke."

"He was for the joke before he was against it," the veep quipped.

Rangel could use a similar excuse: He was for higher taxes before he was against 'em.

Either way, if Dems win the House, Americans can kiss their cash goodbye.

And the troops in Iraq, their ammo.

Jihadi chic at the University of Pennsylvania

Via Malkin.

University of Pennsylvania president Amy Gutmann threw her annual Halloween costume party at her home Tuesday night. Among the guests was Saad Saadi, who came dressed as a suicide bomber, complete with plastic dynamite strapped to his chest and a toy automatic rifle. Worse, Gutmann posed with Saadi!

An obvious question: would Gutmann have posed with a guest--or even allowed him into her house--if he'd dressed as Adolf Hitler or a Nazi SS officer? A KKK member?

But in modern liberal circles, posing as a Palestinian suicide bomber (see his kefiya) is just fine. After all, he mainly tries to kill innocent Jews.

Less than two months ago, Gutman opined:

As I am sure you’ve noticed: Our world is not in the best of shape at the moment. The United States remains embroiled in war. We have yet to overcome the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. We face the constant threat of terrorism, fueled by hatred that knows not even minimal moral bounds.

To say the least, she should be fired.

"The deliberate and determined expansion of militant Islam and its attempt to triumph not only in the Islamic world but in Europe and North America. Pure ideology. Muslim terrorists kill and slaughter not because of what they experience but because of what they believe."

"But I can tell you what it is not about. Not about Israel, not about Iraq, not about Afghanistan. They are mere excuses. Algerian Muslim fundamentalists murdered 150,000 other Algerian Muslims, sometimes slitting the throats of children in front of their parents. Are you seriously telling me that this was because of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians or American foreign policy?"

He's exasperated now, visibly angry at what he sees as a willful Western foolishness. "Stop asking what you have done wrong. Stop it! They're slaughtering you like sheep and you still look within. You criticize your history, your institutions, your churches. Why can't you realize that it has nothing to do with what you have done but with what they want."

Did the Italians give up Christian convert Abdul Rahman in order to free photojournalist Gabriele Torsello ?

AFGHANISTAN: ABDUCTED ITALIAN PHOTOJOURNALIST FREED

Kabul, 3 Nov. (AKI) - Italian photojournalist Gabriele Torsello was freed on Friday after a 23-day abduction, said Italy's defence ministry and Italian charity Emergency which mediated for his release. He is reportedly in good condition and is in the company of Italian intelligence agents in Afghanistan. "I am fine," Torsello was quoted as saying right after he was freed.

Torsello's liberation was first announced with a statement by Emergency which said that "a phone call to the Emergency hospital in Lashkar Gah (southern Afghanistan) indicated that on the road to Kandahar we would find Gabriele Torsello who had been freed."

Emergency also said that an Afghan member of the charity subsequently found Torsello and brought him to the Italian officials who were mediating for his release.

The kidnappers initially warned they would kill Torsello unless Afghan Christian convert Abdul Rahman, who has been granted asylum in Italy, was handed over to an Islamic court for trial and Italy's 1,800 troops left Afghanistan by the end of the holy month of Ramadan on 24 October. After the ultimatum - defined by experts as highly peculiar - expired the abductors placed another call on 23 October to Emergency saying that Torsello was fine.

I keep seeing nonsense how the GOP won't turn out the vote next week, which I believe is complete BS. The antique media talking heads realize the only way they win is if we don't show up.

We have yet another chance to prove them demonstrably wrong.

Win One for the Gipper

Next week, Americans have the opportunity to reaffirm President Reagan's vision or to take a step back toward the vision of government and of America he fought against.

Democrats today, as in the 1970s, believe that government knows best how to handle a broad array of problems; that it should take more in taxes and spend more at home; that we're better off hoping for the best than taking the fight to our enemies; and that freedom and responsibility are subordinate values to their own vision of what society should be.

Nothing in that should be a surprise. No one who follows politics even a little could imagine that the America of Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Howard Dean, and Nancy Pelosi would look anything like Ronald Reagan's America.
Yet, shockingly, this election hangs in the balance because many conservatives don't think it's worth coming out to vote. Races across the country will turn on who goes to the polls and who stays home. Conservatives should flock to the polls to protect Reagan's legacy.

Instead, Reagan's name and memory are invoked as excuses for apathy. Some conservatives are piqued that President Bush and congressional Republicans have not been true enough to the Reagan vision, accusing them of tacking before the wind on trade and spending and campaign funding, not doing enough to put God back in our schools, succumbing to the corruption of power. Conservatives, echoing the media, moan that the war in Iraq seems endless, unpopular, and un-winnable. Conservatives speak of teaching their leaders a lesson.

This is not the time. This is not the way. Because on every issue conservatives care about, giving power to Democrats will make things worse.

Hamas Urges Women, Children to Shield Gunmen in MosqueJerusalem (CNSNews.com) - At least a dozen Palestinian gunmen eluded Israeli capture in the Gaza Strip on Friday, first by taking refuge in a mosque and then by calling on women and children to shield them so they could escape.

Palestinians reported at least one women killed and a second was in critical condition after they were shot during the fray. The Israeli Army said its soldiers had fired only at armed gunmen, who were firing at them from within the crowd.

The standoff began on Thursday evening when some three dozen Palestinian gunmen - fleeing Israeli forces - took refuge in a mosque in the northern Gaza Strip town of Beit Hanoun. Gunmen and Israeli troops exchanged fire during the night and part of the mosque's roof collapsed.

On Friday morning, Hamas radio put out a call for women and children to come to the mosque - to form a human shield around the gunmen so they could escape. The Israeli Army said Hamas knows that Israeli troops would not shoot at women and children.

About 3,000 protestors, most of them women, turned out to protect the gunmen -- and the ploy worked. When soldiers searched the mosque later, it was empty, the army said.

This is not the first time that Palestinian gunmen have taken cover in religious buildings to escape Israeli forces. Four years ago, 200 armed Palestinians spent more than a month holed up in Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity.

Israel has long accused Palestinian terrorist organizations of exploiting the civilian population by hiding weapons and launching rockets from within that population -- using women and children as shields, essentially.

An obvious question: would Gutmann have posed with a guest--or even allowed him into her house--if he'd dressed as Adolf Hitler or a Nazi SS officer? A KKK member?

But in modern liberal circles, posing as a Palestinian suicide bomber (see his kefiya) is just fine. After all, he mainly tries to kill innocent Jews.

You are hitting them out of the park today, my friend.

With regard to the article, with all this left wing embracing of terrorism in general and the Palestinian's in particular, with all this growing anti-semitism on the left, it is honesty beyond me why any Jewish person would ever have anything to do with the left wing nowadays. I'm highly offended by the anti-semitism on the left nowadays, and I'm not Jewish. I would think you would see Jewish voters flocking to the Republican party. But I'm an Economist, I guess I'm not smart enough to understand the finer points of politics.

2. The United States of America has evidence that the Iraqi government and Osama Bin Laden's group expressed cooperation among themselves in bombing targets in American.
3. In case Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban were proven to have been involved in carrying out these terrorist operations, it could be possible that the United Stated will attack both Iraq and Afghanistan.
4. The Afghani consul heard about the connection between the Iraqis and the Osama Bin Laden group during his stay in Iran.
5. Upon what has been presented we suggest writing to the Intention Committee with the above information.

Provocation in Lebanon's skies

By Haaretz Editorial

In recent days, Israel Air Force aircraft have repeatedly flown over Beirut to signal Israel's dissatisfaction with the diplomatic situation that emerged following the war and with the nonimplementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, which brought an end to the fighting after it was accepted by all sides. The assumption that a provocation of this sort over Lebanon's airspace will somehow further Israel's interests has been part of Israel's security policy for years. Using supersonic booms as a menacing harassment has become part of the Israeli government's operational arsenal: a sort of forceful message that is supposed to hint that Israel is capable of much more, but for now is making do with the minimum.

Having destroyed the Dahiya quarter in Beirut, it is doubtful that the air force needs to send Lebanon any further signals about its capabilities. The message has apparently been fully understood, but it is doubtful that it had brought about the desired results. It may have even achieved the opposite effect: strengthening Hezbollah as a political actor in Lebanon.

If the Left is confident, why must they continually resort to election fraud?

The Acorn Indictments: A union-backed outfit faces charges of election fraud.

So, less than a week before the midterm elections, four workers from Acorn, the liberal activist group that has registered millions of voters, have been indicted by a federal grand jury for submitting false voter registration forms to the Kansas City, Missouri, election board. But hey, who needs voter ID laws?

We wish this were an aberration, but allegations of fraud have tainted Acorn voter drives across the country. Acorn workers have been convicted in Wisconsin and Colorado, and investigations are still under way in Ohio, Tennessee and Pennsylvania.

The good news for anyone who cares about voter integrity is that the Justice Department finally seems poised to connect these dots instead of dismissing such revelations as the work of a few yahoos. After the federal indictments were handed up in Kansas City this week, the U.S. Attorney's office said in a statement that "This national investigation is very much ongoing."

Let's hope so. Acorn officials bill themselves as nonpartisan community organizers merely interested in giving a voice to minorities and the poor. In reality, Acorn is a union-backed, multimillion-dollar outfit that uses intimidation and other tactics to push for higher minimum wage mandates and to trash Wal-Mart and other non-union companies.

Al-Jazeera International is well-funded. In fact, Kincaid insists, "They have deep pockets; they're financed by the emir of Qatar who has announced they intend to put $1 billion into the Al-Jazeera International." In addition, American news networks support Al-Jazeera by supplying them with funds in exchange for provocative hostage tapes. Indeed, the relationship between American networks and Al-Jazeera is so refined that former ABC Nightline reporter Dave Marash and former CNN journalist Riz Khan have both joined the Al-Jazeera International team.

Now back to exposing media fraud and duplicity.

On the heels of the post about ACORN, we have McPaper proffering this nonsense:
Voter ID laws target the vulnerable

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 came to life at a time when laws in the Jim Crow South disenfranchised African-Americans. Earlier this year, Congress and President Bush renewed the legislation, and so it will continue to protect the franchise for America's most vulnerable citizens. But a movement is afoot at the state and federal level that threatens the essence of that law with backdoor approaches to suppress voter participation. Voter ID laws are at the heart of this strategy. The House just passed a bill to require government-issued photo IDs to vote in the federal election in 2008. The Senate has yet to act on it. At the state level, 24 voter ID laws have been adopted — 13 of them in the past four years. Voter ID foes argue that these laws affect poor, minority, elderly and young voters who are least likely to possess the kinds of documentation needed to obtain an ID. That includes birth certificates, which many seniors might no longer possess, and driver's licenses, which many without cars don't have.

For the life of me, I cannot fathom how it's so difficult to identify yourself. Surely these "poor souls" have no problem identifying themnselves when it comes to picking up their taxpayer-funded welfare checks.

Maybe I just cold and "mean-spirited", but if you can't properly identify yourself, you have no right to vote.

There are way too many leftist, commie Jews who are basically uneducated about history and about their own faith. A majority of leftist Jews have their own program of Judaism which at times, is highly divorced from ACTUAL Jewish teachings. They misread a lot of Jewish texts, and bring their own social-political agenda to Judaism.

HOWEVER, that being said-I think a lot of Republican Jews, or Jews that voted specifically for Bush because of his relationship with Israel, and his moral clarity-are VERY disappointed with Condi, the continuing disgusting attitudes of the State Department and proclamations by Bush such as 'Abbas is a man of peace'.

HOWEVER, that being said-I think a lot of Republican Jews, or Jews that voted specifically for Bush because of his relationship with Israel, and his moral clarity-are VERY disappointed with Condi, the continuing disgusting attitudes of the State Department and proclamations by Bush such as 'Abbas is a man of peace'.

You can easily pick up instructions to make a bomb. Actually making it is what is hard (Look at N. Korea's joke of a test last month). These plans probably wouldn't help Iran at all.

The bigger story is if the documents show Iraq was that close to actually building one. The Moonbats at the NYT were so eager to bash Bush with a non-existant threat or failure ("the documents shouldn't be publich") that they inadvertently gave us the proof they claim hasn't existed.

I say put the docs back up. They say they are pulling them back until we can go through them, but the whole reason they were made pubic is because there aren't enough people to go through them.

But maybe THAT is the reason the left made a stink and kept pursuing this. If too many people saw documentation on WMDs, no one would believe their lies that there were no WMDs. But by re-classifying the documents, they could continue to hide it.

So ... maybe this is a victory for the left, if they can hide these docs knowing we don't have enough analysts to look at them...

Italian 'released in Afghanistan'

Torsello is a Muslim convert
An Italian photographer kidnapped in Afghanistan last month has been freed, the Italian defence ministry says.

Gabriele Torsello and his Afghan translator were seized three weeks ago while travelling on a bus near Kandahar in southern Afghanistan.

His kidnappers at one point offered to hand him over in return for an Afghan convert to Christianity, who had received asylum in Italy...

You, OTOH, have been super hot with your posts and links today! Just wanted to tell you that and hope that you're doing ok.

BTW, someone once said (might even have been me!) that in the US we get the government we deserve because we vote it in. On O'Reilly - whom I personally don't care for but who my Mom likes a lot- he cited a statistic (of course, without citing any source) that Republicans are in danger this year ONLY because the Evangelical Christian Right is going to sit out this election (something like polls showing 56% of ECR's are not going to vote on Tuesday). Of course, to be fair to him, he did say - again without attribution - that it has been proven that the MSM (except of course for Fox) has been the Cheerleaders for Democrats all across the country.
What do y'all think about large segments of the "Right" sitting out this election?

How are we feeling about midterms this morning? I'm stil not feeling real good about it, although I think that more Repubs and Conservatives are going to get out the vote now... That is not being reflected in current polling...

So, the Times now thinks that this is a worth story of criticism, when it was their erroneous reporting ion Iraq that caused these documents to be put out there... I'm not exactly sure what the story really means, but I think we are correct in saying that it could confirm that Saddam was a potential threat...

Pretty much every poll, even discounting the liar Zogby and CNN and NY Times, shows the GOP losing the house, barely holding the Senate.

Even Mike Barone, Electionprojection, and RCP show a Dem majority in the house, either by a significant 5 or 10 seat majority or a tiny one of 1-2 seats.

It could go either way, and will absolutely come down to turn out.

However, b/c of trumped up "scandals", there are about 10 seats the GOP will lose "out of the box"- including 2 in PA, Foley, Delay, and others.

So a GOP win in the house is, even according to GOP friendly pundits- somewhat of a long shot.

Hi realwest,

Yup, it was down around 30 this morning, but a lovely clear and sunny day. Going hiking either tomorrow or Sunday to enjoy what's left of the colors and get some cool, fresh air in the lungs.

I saw that spot with O'Reilly and think he has no clue. I just don't see where people ont he right are going to punish themselves by not voting. I expect a big turnout, far greater than in the usualy off-year election. The stakes are to ogreat to sacrifice and be selfish by staying home. It just does not compute.

loppyd--I went and registered on WRKO yesterday and tuned in to Howie Carr. It was arund the time he had George Wendt on. I also heard the cop who Kerry tried to bigtime with the "Don't you know who I am?" routine.

I had tried in the past to tune in via his website, but that was plugged in to some small station in New Hampshire and I was never able toget in; I believe back then WRKO didn't have streaming audio.

Anyway, I'm hooked up now and can probably get home for the Chump Line most days. I can't listen at work.

First, congrats on the milestone. I am constantly impressed not only on the quantity, but more so by the quality of your contributions here.

As to your commnet

Maybe I just cold and "mean-spirited", but if you can't properly identify yourself, you have no right to vote.

Having grown up in Chicago, I see the resistance, mainly by the left to voter - ID's, as their fear that this would eliminate the Democratic Party machine tactic known as "vote early - vote often". With just a cards with printed names on them and very accomodating election judges, a group of people can travel from precinct to precinct all election day long and cast multiple votes under multiple names. And I'm not talking about things I've heard are done, I'm talking about things I've seen done with my own eyes. That is how the Chicago machine overcomes a strong downstate Republican vote almost every election. My parents, who were staunch party Democrats, used to brag about how they helped rig the vote in Chicago doing that.

I remember my dear late Mother being pissed the day somebody pulled some old ballot boxes out of Lake Michigan years ago when a pier was being replaced (which is where a lot of Nixon ballots apparently ended up on election night in 1960) cause she said they should have had sense enough to dump the stuff farther out where it would never be found. Boy were they unhappy when I grew up and became a conservative. I'm sort of the apostate in the family.

This is a huge mega-church with several services on Sunday, many during the weeks, K thorough 12 school etc.

The congregation of this church and many like this are highly educated, alert, aware, and politically sophisticated. They are an under-the-radar force to the MSM and Liberals. They are conservative, both socially, and economically. They are fierce in defense of rights to home school, and to keep and to bear arms. They see through the MSM lies and spin and the Foley scandal etc. I went to a Mega Church like this in the D.C. area and they can get around the IRS rules about preaching politics from the pulpit (something strangely not enforced on black urban churches during election time) by going to the Bible and pointing out that abortion is murder, and a type of the practice of the worship of Ba'al.

I have heard noted leaders in Charismatic circles point out that if you support abortion then death will reign in your community, this can be pointed out statistically where abortion is used as birth control, (inner city black, Indian Reservations) the incident of murder, drugs, violence is very high) Perhaps not scientific, but people can surmise some cause and effect without donning a lab coat.

Is it any wonder that two groups in this world are the primary and ultimate targets of the secular left and Islam? Jews and American Christians. IMO the thin line between world darkness and savagery the likes of which humanity will not recover from if it quenches these groups.

BTW, someone once said (might even have been me!) that in the US we get the government we deserve because we vote it in.

I'm not sure I deserve the government the LLL wants to vote in for us. :)

Originally I wasn't very excited about voting this year since I just moved to Milwaukee and there's already been thousands of fraudulent ballots cast for the donks, but I think I'll feel better if I go make my futile stand.

I only regret that I missed the deadline for signing up my cat to vote by mail. He's disappointed at the lack of Feline-Americans on the ballot, but I think I could convince him his life will be better if the Dems don't repeal the tax cuts...

I've seen Michael Barone a few times this week, and he seemingly is revising his projection downward to where it could be a 15-seat loss or maybe just 10 to 12 seats.

It truly is a turnout factor.

All I know is I've been voting Republican since I was eligible to vote, and until the past five years never lived in a GOP district. Even though I was usually voting for someone who had no shot, I still did my duty and voted my conscience. I'm not one to jump on the bandwagon for an obvious winner just to say I voted for the winner.

And won't it just be delicious to prove all the "experts" wrong and to see the apoplectic looks on the faces of the media pinheads who think you're all stupid when the results come in and their fantasies have all gone to shit?

You'll be inundated for the next 96 hours on how hopeless it is and all is lost. Screw that. Go vote and watch them freak out when they realize all their efforts have been flushed down the drain. Seeing the media disdain will be more joyful than winning itself.

If you ever run into anyone who ever says that Hezbollah is not a terror organization, show them this- Hezbollah is making demands just to provide information about whether tow Israelis are alive.

This is barbarism at its worst; this is Hezbollah. This is terrorism.

Hizbullah is asking "a price" for information about whether two Israeli soldiers kidnapped by the militant group are still alive, Britain's UN ambassador said Thursday.

Emyr Jones Parry's comment comes two days after Hizbullah's leader, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, revealed Tuesday night that "serious negotiations" were taking place over the two Israeli soldiers, whose capture provoked a 34-day war between the group and Israel.

"They're asking a price for proof of life," Jones Parry said Thursday. He gave no details on what he meant by "price."

G-d I hope not.

From your link:

The Roman Catholic Church has been in apostasy for 1,300 years while persecuting and killing true Christians. It has never repented of this evil. Though it proclaims a false gospel of indulgences, Christ being sacrificed in a wafer over and over, and prayers to Mary and the “saints” for salvation, it is now enjoying the support of leading evangelicals in a way that would have shocked true Christians only 50 years ago. Those involved in this seduction of lost souls need to repent in deep sorrow.

The GOD of Abraham MUST be removed from public life in order for facism to rise.
Always has been the case historically, and always will be the case going foward.

His representatives (Jews and Christians) must be killed cowed or silenced by the totalitarian wave.

The covenant is a contract against barbarism.

Any society that is not underpinned by the Judeo-Christian covenant descends into barbarity.

Just open any history book. Never mind that just open any current European newspaper...Even if you review the history of just the last 150 years you can see it, never mind reckoning all the fallen barbarous societies from the day of Moses up on Sinai to today...

I think its dangerous to put too much stock in the polls. There is absolutely ZERO reason to be doom and gloom about Tuesday's elections. If you get demoralized, the MSM has won thier battle. If you think its a lost cause and stay home on Tuesday because the pundits have already called it, the MSM has won. Remember what Scotty Bowman said, "Stats are for losers". The polls are just stats, tailored to demoralize the conservative base and any indys/undecideds that are still waivering.

If anything, the momentum has been very good for Republicans. I think there is very good reason to be optimistic, hell the (R)s may even save the House. But most importantly, don't let the MSM subdue you or your friends or family into apathy. Get out and vote and make sure you get your friends and family out to vote.

it doesn't matter what she really believes... her job is to say whatever needs to be said to pacify, in this case, the middle east.

In many countries, there is double talk from the leader... condeming you in one moment, then praising you publically the next. . . here in the United states, we have a whole department to do it.

I wouldn't want her job because I couldn't handle having to say those nice things to them, and I KNOW I couldn't handle the petty namecalling that is targetted at her for doing her job.

she says things, and will even say that she believes them, but that is her job to do. Anything to keep the fragile peace there appears to be, until we can address the problem head on.

Suicide bombers - no says Somalian Islamic boss


SOMALIA'S powerful Islamic movement has denied US allegations its supreme leader had authorised suicide attacks in neighboring Kenya and Ethiopia.

The Islamists, some of whom are suspected of links with Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network, said the "baseless warning'' from Washington was part of a pro-Zionist, Israeli propaganda aimed at destabilising the Muslim world.

"We know that America never favours Islamic movements anywhere in the world and such statements are part of a incorrect Zionist-inherited ideology,'' the Islamists' deputy defense chief, Sheik Mukhtar Robow, said.

"Islam does not harm people,'' he said.

So expect suicide bombings in Kenya and Ethiopia

The Inevitability of Genocide
by Yashiko Sagamori

-snip-
his favorite doctor there was an Arab. My friend simply could not imagine that a doctor so competent, so pleasant, so attentive to a Jewish patient could possibly be an enemy of Israel.

“Are you sure he doesn't send half of his salary to Hamas?” I asked, cynical as usual.

“I don't know, could be,” my friend said. “But he seems knowledgeable and kind, and I can't imagine that he dreams of destroying Israel and exterminating the Jews.”

A bright young man, a freshman at a large Mid-Western university, who had read some of my articles, presented me with irrefutable proof that everything I had ever written about Islam and Muslims was wrong. He shared his room at the dorm with a Muslim kid, he told me defiantly.

“So?” I asked.

“And he is nice!” the boy said.

“And?” I still missed the point.

“I mean, really nice.”

“Do you mean to tell me that we cannot be at war against nice people?” I asked.

“Can we?” he snickered at me.

What a question. What a perfectly understandable question. How much easier it must've been to be at war against vampires or cockroaches. -snip-
Here's the thing. We had to fight and defeat Nazism not because Nazi doctors were all butchers with awful bedside manners or because Nazi college students made unpleasant roommates. We didn't fight Nazism because of the Nazi crimes either, even though those crimes were perfectly real, my eulogy for the dead German soldier notwithstanding. We had to fight Nazism because its existence had become incompatible with the existence of our way of life. If we wanted freedom and democracy to survive in the United States of America, we had no choice but to fight Nazism in Europe and destroy it.

Today, if we want freedom and democracy to survive in this country, we must fight Islam and destroy it everywhere it has established roots, which means everywhere, period. It's not because we are good people and Muslims are bad people. Of course, they do a lot of things that we find disgusting and inhumane.
-snip-
I am a Jew, but my way of life is not really different from that of my Christian relatives, friends, neighbors and colleagues. They go to church on Easter and Christmas; I go to the temple on Passover and Yom Kippur. That's the extent of the difference, although when the time comes for the Jews to march to the gas chambers again, other aspects of it may be revealed to everyone's surprise. When presented with a choice between imposing our religious beliefs on others and productive coexistence with each other, we wisely opted for coexistence and turned our faiths into an intimately personal matter. As a result, tolerance has become our way of life. Thank God for that! How can you not love the grass?

-snip-

My faith is Islam, but my way of life is jihad. For 14 centuries, never letting up for even a minute, Islam has demanded of me that I continue jihad until the last infidel stops breathing. How can you counter my upbringing? By reeducating me?...You won't succeed even if you keep at it for the next 14 centuries, but, considering your staying power (or, rather, lack thereof), your effort is not likely to last 14 months.
-snip-
The history of Islam is the history of jihad. The purpose of jihad is expansion. We don't send out missionaries. We send out warriors. We give you a fair choice to accept Allah and His Messenger or die. That's the extent of Allah's boundless mercy to the infidel. That's the extent of benevolence your female Secretary of State so lavishly praised.

And if you don't destroy Islam at least as thoroughly as you destroyed Nazism, Islam will destroy you as thoroughly, as it has destroyed everything and everybody in its way during the 14 centuries of unending jihad.

I think that many of these Christians see Catholicism as the last vestige of the Roman Empire and not as a legitimate church, it is part of the basic doctrine of many of these groups. I sort of glean the wheat form the tares when I read the many newsletters of Churches and Shuls that I receive. No one group ever sends out something that has nothing in it I disagree with!

I don't believe in or belong to ANY Churchianity or Shuliasm as I have made clear here many times. Like political parties I believe the church/shul system is inherently corrupted and corruptable, and being childless and basically a loner I have no need for the "community" aspect they offer.

I have no desire to be Catholic and having been to Catholic school I have my share of disputes with them. But I do not approve of Catholic bashing as doctrine either.

My opinion is stick to the BOOK. Teach the BOOK. Condemn and correct your own failings, not the failings of another group. But 99.9% of Churches and Shuls just do not do that.

His representatives (Jews and Christians) must be killed cowed or silenced by the totalitarian wave.

Remember the TWO witnesses in the book of Revelation are slain. It says the whole world sees this and rejoices, even sending gifts to one another. I think this speaks to now and the apparent sense and near celebratory mood of the world that they are slaying God's two witnesses in the earth...Judiasm and Christianity.

But in the book of Revelation they are resurrected to a higher spiritual plane of authority or power. Pull up a seat the show is just getting started. God is currently drawing out all His enemies, watch the flanking movement He unleashes on these bastards.

An no, I have NO sympathy to the two most murderous forces (philosophies) that have killed, tortured, and enslaved more human beings than all other things combined and that is the secular left and Islam...now in the process of an open (lesbian) marriage...but we always knew you were whores from the some mother.

There is this knee-jerk anti-Christian sentiment that a lot of Jews have and it drives me bonkers.

My very close friend is a Jewish doctor in his 60's, very intelligent, very informed, a truly wonderful person, who has a "knee-jerk anti-Christian" fear. Told me he voted for Kerry because he was "afraid" of the Christian right.

Nothing I (Roman Catholic) can do or say seems to cut any ice with him on this. Makes me sad.



What is most interesting about all of this is that 100% of the early Christian church was JEWISH! Gentile Christians were not in abundance until later the 1st century when Claudius kicked the Jews out of Rome and the Gentile Christians had to keep the Christian church alive in their own homes.

I do not, for the life of me, understand why Jews are so afraid of Christians. If the liberals had their way, Israel would be gone because they would remove all support from it. If it weren't for American Christians, in fact, Israel would have ZERO support.

Umm... HELLO!... WE WORSHIP A JEW! From the throne of David (another Jew). The same God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

To all Jews out there... We are your brothers and sisters - born into the line of David via our faith in a Jew named Jesus Christ. We welcome you, we love you, we cherish your history and legacy with God.

... I could go on and on... may turn into a ramble though... so I'll stop...

The notion of an 'apostate' is a hardcore attack - people ought to take that seriously. It means you are not even a Christian but that you worship a false God, an idol. 'Heretic' is child's play. More important battles to be fought though. See ya.

Anyone here that can answer Jamie Glazov's question(s)? Robert Spencer was not at all successful in answering either one.

-snip-

FP: So why is it that the reaction to your book from the Islamic world is primarily filled with insults at best and death threats at worst? Where is the tradition to actually counter with scholarship and argumentation for an honest and meticulous diagnosis of Muhammad’s life? Why do so many Muslims not embrace a close scrutiny of their Prophet’s life to get to the truth of who he actually was?

Even more curious is how many Muslims insist that their religion is about peace and yet, upon others’ disagreement, they become violent. What just happened with the Pope is a perfect example. Muslims get outraged that an implication has been made that their religion is one of violence, but then they react to this supposed defamation of their religion, and of their Prophet, by threatening and perpetrating violence.

What is the logic here?

I have myself received several death threats over the years from certain Muslims. Paradoxically, these death threats were preceded, in almost every case, with the perpetrator of the threat trying to insist to me that Islam is a religion of peace. This is how it would go: I get an email from a Muslim reprimanding me for some kind of comment or argument I made about Islam having a tenet of violence. The writer insists to me that Islam is a religion of peace. I respond by asking about and referring to the verses in the Qur’an that promote violence (i.e. 9:5). Then, within two or three exchanges, I start getting threatening emails – from the same individual who started out telling me that Islam is a religion of peace.

It is somewhat of a bizarre and tragic comedy, no?

-snip-

I obviously do not speak for all Christians in my disposition toward these things, but overall there appears to be a substantial amount of tolerance and comfort in the Christian world in relation to non-Christian thought and anti-Christian ridicule – and also a certain awareness of private business. In Christianity there are boundaries between what people think, in the sense that there are notions of individuality, privacy and personal conscience, which appear to be almost non-existent in the Muslim religion and culture. This is in terms of the picture that many Muslims themselves present to us (i.e. the demonstrations and threats over the cartoons, the Pope’s statements, etc.)

Overall, I guess my point is that if someone engages in blasphemy in regards to my own religion, my mindset is that, if there is some kind of price to be paid for it, he will pay it. Why I am supposed to fly into a furious rage and start threatening or trying to kill someone and/or screaming with rage at some kind of demonstration is completely beyond me.

Can you enlighten me on the psychology here?

When my dad was in school in Chicago in 1976, he was offered $10 a precinct to ride one of those buses. He had 1.5 kids and my mom stayed home with us, but he didn't need the money that bad.

Still goes on to this day. Drive by any precinct polling place in Chicago this election and you will see some smarmy looking guy with bad breath and 3 days beard growth standing on the public sidewalk just outside the door. That will be the ward-heeler. He will have a pocket full of voters cards ready to hand out anytime you need one to vote - Democratic of course. He will also be keeping track of who has shown up to vote so far and who has not. You can literally be walking by, a vistor from out of town, and they will shove a voter card into your hand and push you towards the door. But you never hear of this from the Chicago newspapers like the Sun Times and the Tribune.

It's from Bugs Bunny cartoons (from the 40s or 50s, even). He outsmarts someone, then looks out at the audience and says, "What a ma-roon." Instead of "moron."

I didn't know kids were using it as a racial thing...damn kids, ruin everything.

I don't know if kids now are using it as a racial thing, but it historically IS a racial thing, used to denote people who were part white and part black. The word kind of disappeared after the Civil Rights Movement. But if Bugs Bunny is using it, it is meant in the original context.

His representatives (Jews and Christians) must be killed cowed or silenced by the totalitarian wave.

Remember the TWO witnesses in the book of Revelation are slain. It says the whole world sees this and rejoices, even sending gifts to one another. I think this speaks to now and the apparent sense and near celebratory mood of the world that they are slaying God's two witnesses in the earth...Judiasm and Christianity.

But in the book of Revelation they are resurrected to a higher spiritual plane of authority or power. Pull up a seat the show is just getting started. God is currently drawing out all His enemies, watch the flanking movement He unleashes on these bastards.

An no, I have NO sympathy to the two most murderous forces (philosophies) that have killed, tortured, and enslaved more human beings than all other things combined and that is the secular left and Islam...now in the process of an open (lesbian) marriage...but we always knew you were whores from the some mother.

My goodness, there is page, after page, after page of Democrat quotes throughout the 1990's, and right up to when the USA ousted Saddam, where they were all screaming that Saddam Hussein was "evil", that "he needs to be removed from power", that "his weapons program is the most dangerous threat towards America", on, and on, and on, and on.

What intelligence were the Dems looking at during the 1990's, and up to the ouster of Saddam?

The Dems intel on Saddam, said that Saddam was a direct threat, and that he needed to be removed, and yet, the Dems did absolutely nothing during the Clinton Presidency, except to bomb a aspirin factory.

This is why the Dems could very well be the death of this great country, because they don't believe that there is ever, under any circumstances, a need for serious, commited military action.

With all of the intel that the Democrats had, regarding Saddam, and their continual crying about how "Saddam needs to be removed" during the 1990's and early 2000's, and their outright refusal to take any action against Saddam, they left that entire mess up to the Bush Administration, and now, with this current intel shoeing, that in 2002, Saddam may have been a year away from an atom bomb, well, it's just further proof that the Democrats are the single greatest danger to America, more than all islamofacist terror, the world over, combined.

The Dems are truly, the "Do Nothing Party"

Anyone who votes for these kook Dems, will be seen as complicit in their evil schemes.

I wonder how GOD looks at a person who salivates at the idea of delivering a full term baby, a human being, a soul that GOD said, "I knew you when you were in your mothers womb", breech delivery, and then impaling the babies skull, and sucking the brains out, and dismembering the babies body.

Anyone who votes for a Democrat, who is for these things, is 100% complicit in the very acts!

One thing you have to understand is that the Jews DO NOT recognize Jesus as the Messiah, much less a diety. When Christians try to equate belief systems they couldn't be more off base. Jews (practicing Judiasm) consider it absolute blasphemy. To them, the fear is that Christians want to evangelize them, see them get "saved". In their eyes, a Jew who accepts Jesus is blaspheming God and has lost their position in heaven. For this reason, they fear Christianity more than any goverment. For the nazis killed them physically, but to be evangelized is to damn their soul. This is serious business and Christians should be aware of just how serious this is to a practicing Orthodox Jew.

NY TIMES publishes letter from Min Lieberman

A New Road for Israel

Re “The Wrong Partner in Israel” (editorial, Oct. 25), about my party, Israel Beiteinu, which has been invited into the governing coalition:

Your editorial got it wrong.

The Middle East peace process has failed miserably, and trying to breathe new life into an already defunct process is not the way to go.

Israel needs a new direction. I suggest that we redefine our goals and focus on bringing security and stability to the Middle East instead of setting our sights on an unrealistic, unattainable fantasy.

The declared missions of Hamas and Hezbollah are not to expel Israel from Lebanon or Gaza but to eradicate all Jews from Tel Aviv, Haifa and Jerusalem, and until they achieve that goal, they will not lay down their arms.

Israel is where the war on terror started. Sadly, we have had to stand alone for many decades in the face of unrelenting attacks on our Western ideas and values of freedom and democracy.

After the terror attacks of 9/11, Madrid in 2004, London in 2005 (and the list goes on), the world knows better.

That’s why old thinking, regardless of how well intentioned, simply won’t work.

Thirteen years is long enough to determine that the peace process has failed.

It is time to go back to the drawing board, re-evaluate the goals of the peace process and start anew.

I understand your being upset. I have no desire to whack any stripe of Christian or Jew no matter what their "denomonation" is if they are sincere of heart and want to live according to the covenant.

As you know, personally I do not accept any filtered doctrine or dogma from any organized Church or Shul. I do not believe in the man deliniated "denominations" thing. As far as I'm concerned there are only two denominations on earth, Covenant of Life or Covenant of Death, and all the denomonatinal religious "groups" IMO distract from that truth. Organized religion is just not for me, never has been, never will be. I go direct, just me and the WORD.

Like I said in 657 I get a lot of newsletters from both Jewish and Christian organizations and there is not one that does not put something in there that I object to on some level. Agendas. People have agendas.

That's why it's just me and my BOOK.

Yep. My Mom died in 1989, and she has not missed an election since. She is still registered to vote. I went back and checked the records in the Board of Elections office a few years ago and found that. I showed up with a copy of her death certificate and tried to get her name off the roll. They refused to recognize the certificate and had me thrown out by the cops for disturbing the peace. I contacted the newspapers and they did not care.

You should relax, few of the Christians here or others are "Catholic Bashers." You need to consider the book of Revelation that outlines the enemy of God and true spirituality as apostate and perverted religion. Now the Jews were guilty of this and murdered Christ. The Christians are guilty of this and murder Christ in each other.

This is always done by top heavy hierarchy driven organizations that profess a sprituality they do not practice, including historically the Catholic Church. But so do Protestant denominations after they run for about 40 years and the original founders die off, then they persecute the NEXT movement or Christian expression that has opened up to a "new," truth.

But not a new truth at all, but a discarded truth that the Chruch walked in in the first 40 years after Christ, until the last original eye witness of Christ's resurrection was dead. Then the slow apostacy began. There are many true and sincere believers in the Catholic Church, you among them I am sure.

But to God all organized Churchianity is the Whore of Babylon or one of its daughters. The intent of God was not that we know Him through an organization, priest, ritual, or because our parents were religious, but that we each know Him better than any friend, spouse, or any human relationship, until then we get the alternative human lifestyle of war, hatred, and rule by the fallen human nature, which when all is said and done IS hell.

The cry of human nature is as it was in the days of Samuel, when God wanted "all his people to be prophets," they cried out for a King to be over them. When God wanted all the people to meet him on the mountain...instead they just wanted Moses to go up to meet God. Much easier to live under human heirarchy, churches, synagogs, or government for the secularists, rather than the ordeal of purification to meet God face to face. We damn well know that to meet God...our puny egos will die. Better to live with our puny egos as king, than to live in the midst of the glory of the Creator, subject to His will, and Him the ONLY king of us all.

Bosnian Muslim war crimes suspect arrested

Sarajevo, 13:29

A former officer in the Bosnian Muslim forces, charged with war crimes against Bosnian Serbs, was arrested late on Thursday.

Sefik Alic is suspected of having committed war crimes at the end of Bosnia war (1992-1995), court representative said.

Alic, former commander of "Brigade 505" of the Muslim forces in Bosnia, was arrested in Bosnia's northwest city of Buzim.

Last year, the local media aired video footage made in 1995, showing soldiers of the Hamza group, led by Alic, killing a Serb while surrendering with his hands up. /end/

I want to think that you perhaps meant to type "moron" but then I wonder is this a new "curse" among the younger generation or a "curse" from a non-US English speaking country? (I like to stay up with the lattest slang the kids use.)

Maroons -- in the context I'm using it (as have many others) is actually a play on the word "Moron" originated by Bugs Bunny. So yes -- I'm saying al-Guardians are a "bunch of morons"

But it is not permitted to teach anything from it to Muslims (yisma’elim) because it is known to you about their belief that this Torah [of ours] is not from God . . . and if one can convince the Christians of the correct interpretation [of Scripture], it is possible (efshar) that they might return to what is good (she-yahzoru la-mutav).

I can respect that, which is also why I referred the 1st century church.

Reading and learning about the time surrounding when Paul wrote the letter to the Romans - it is astonishing Christianity ever survived at all.

It was the pinnacle time in where Jews had to understand that God wanted the Gentiles too, and Gentiles had to understand that the history the Jews had with God was legitimate. Both near impossible for either group to believe.

This is what makes Jesus so amazing. His purpose was to bring ALL PEOPLES to God - and it survived.

In fact, the reason Claudius threw the Jews out of Rome was because there were riots happening between the Jews about if Christ was, in fact, the Messiah. This is exactly the same issue you are referring to with Orthodox Jews today.

Claudius, thinking it was purely a Jewish problem, threw the Jews out of Rome. Keep in mind Jews were involved in every aspect of the Roman empire, including military service.

But the Jews returned to Rome after the death of Claudius, and found the Gentiles carrying on with Christianity not in synagogues, but in homes. Another wrench thrown into the mix! Yet it survived.

I could go on and on and on about this time period - but I would be typing for a while.

My piont is - it is amazing Christianity survived at all. And the true message of Jesus Christ was that salvation is for everyone, Jew and Gentile.

And, most importantly, I can't save anybody - the Lord does that.

In all seriousness, I would love to speak with and study with a learned Orthodox Jew - it is one of my desires and passions for my life. One point I would like to discuss is how many OT prophets spoke about the Messiah, where he came from, how he would enter the gates of Jerusalem, and what he would do - yet still don't believe that Jesus was He.

I understand many think the Messiah would be a military leader (like one of Jesus's disciples, Simon the Zealot) and Jesus was such a huge disappointement to so many - which lead to the denial of Him as the Messiah.

This isn't necessarily the place for this discussion, but it is a desire of mine to have it!

Nevertheless, as he indicates in the responsum we examined earlier, which deals with the question of the permissibility of teaching the Torah to the gentiles, Christians are closer to Judaism than Muslims are because "the uncircumcised ones [Christians] believe that the text of the Torah has not changed."27 That is why we may teach the Torah to them, but not to the Muslims

Haggard's accuser fails lie detector

Ted Haggard's accuser failed a polygraph test early this morning about the truthfulness of his accusations that he had had a three-year homosexual affair with the influential Colorado Springs minister.

The test was given to Michael Jones, 49, an admitted male prostitute, who made the allegations on the Peter Boyles Show on radio station KHOW Thursday morning.

The shocking allegations were denied by Haggard, who told KUSA-9News he never took part in a homosexual affair and had always been faithful to his wife, with whom he has 5 children.

So Boyles invited Jones to take a polygraph test at 5 a.m. this morning.

The test administrator, John Kresnik, said Jones' score indicated "deceptions" in his answers. However, Kresnik said he doubted the accuracy of the test he administered because of the recent stress on Jones and his inability to eat or sleep, according to KHOW producer Greg Hollenback.

Kresnik suggested that Jones be re-tested early next week after he was rested.

Hamas Urges Women, Children to Shield Gunmen in Mosque
By Julie Stahl
CNSNews.com Jerusalem Bureau Chief
November 03, 2006

Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - At least a dozen Palestinian gunmen eluded Israeli capture in the Gaza Strip on Friday, first by taking refuge in a mosque and then by calling on women and children to shield them so they could escape.

Palestinians reported at least one women killed and a second was in critical condition after they were shot during the fray. The Israeli Army said its soldiers had fired only at armed gunmen, who were firing at them from within the crowd.

The standoff began on Thursday evening when some three dozen Palestinian gunmen -- fleeing Israeli forces -- took refuge in a mosque in the northern Gaza Strip town of Beit Hanoun. Gunmen and Israeli troops exchanged fire during the night and part of the mosque's roof collapsed.

On Friday morning, Hamas radio put out a call for women and children to come to the mosque - to form a human shield around the gunmen so they could escape. The Israeli Army said Hamas knows that Israeli troops would not shoot at women and children.

Israeli troops kill two Palestinian women who were human shields protcting gunmen

ISRAELI troops shot and killed two Palestinian women acting as human shields between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian gunmen hiding in a Gaza mosque today, witnesses said, before the gunmen escaped.


The dramatic events came on the third day of an Israeli assault on the Gaza town of Beit Hanoun, the largest operation it has conducted in the Gaza Strip in months, designed to put a stop to militants firing homemade rockets into Israel.

About 60 gunmen holed themselves up in the al-Nasir mosque yesterday. Today, about 50 veiled women, answering an appeal on local radio, marched on the mosque, acting as a cover against the Israeli troops to allow the gunmen to flee.

Unbelievable - this is just another event highlighting what Islam is and what it does to people - it brainwashes them -it's a cult

Please be careful with the "Jews murdered Christ" issue. Jesus sacrificed Himself, because it was the will of the Father, and was necessary for our salvation. All things that happened were prophesied and necessary. You and I pounded those nails.


---
Heard one preacher say it thus:

The sins of all mankind nailed Jesus to the cross; his love kept him there.

/Say 'Amen' somebody!

Small correction:

Now the Jews were guilty of this and murdered Christ.

The Romans did it.


Every major division of the human race was guilty and represented in the Crucifixtion as looking at the division of humanity in Noah's sons.

1. Shem (Jews) Under Noah Shem and his descendents were given spiritual and religious authority over the human race...all the world religions came from the Semitic line. Shem bears the spiritual guilt at the crucifixtion.

2. Japheth (Basically the Caucasians) Under Noah Japheth and his descendents were given the governmental and civil authority over the earth...that is why all great civilizations excepting Egypt arose from Japheth. So Romans had the civil authority to crucify Christ.

3. Ham (Basically what are classified as the colored races, Blacks, Oriental, Indians etc) Given the physical authority over the earth. All the great physical inventions that subdued the earth and domesticated animals came from the Hamitic line. A black man was impressed in service to carry the cross...he participated in the physical ability to complete the crucifixtion.


We were ALL there at that cruicifixtion. The mistake of Ham and Japheth is to exclusively blame the Jews for Christ's death. But symbolically we were all in the crowd that yelled "crucify him, crucify him," and give us Barabass (a murderor) instead. The murderor (US) was let off the hook...He took our punishment for all sin, for all time...but only if we accept it by our free will.

"Madeline Albright looks good in a mini-skirt."

A good friend of mine who worked WH detail in the 90's told me she would actually wear mini-skirts as, he assumed, she really thought she looked good in them. Claimied it was the must awful thing you ever saw.

Thanks for your post. I've had my share of run-ins with these type of evangelicals and their schtick "your Pope is the anti-christ, repent now or burn in hell" gets old quick. Nothing beyond words, mind you, but I think
theirs is a need for an advisary to target to wrap the rightousness tighter around their own faith. The RCC is a good target and without it, which I like to point out to the aforementioned, there would have not been Martin Luther [anti-semite that he was] and the birth of protestant faiths.

Catholicism as a faith today pretty much acts like a large dysfunctional family that will fight, argue and disagree with themselves on any issue-- including the basis of their own faith.

I agree, stick to the book and better yourselves.

Reading and learning about the time surrounding when Paul wrote the letter to the Romans - it is astonishing Christianity ever survived at all.

The reason Christianity survived, is because every serious Prophet of Christ, looked at the Gospel as life, and whatever happened to them, as trivial, ven being stoned to death, or crucified, or beheaded, as Paul was.

Since Christianity has been established, it has threatened many different people, even though the Gospel is about GOD's love for all his kids.

His Perfect Love.

The same will happen towards the end, Christians will be condemned for trying to preach the Gospel.

Look around right now, in this great country, where every aspect of the US Constitution, the Bill of Right's, and the Declaration of Independence, were grounded firmly in the Scriptures, even though some of our forefatherts weren't Christians.

Satan is trying to, and succeeding in many churches, of confusing the Gospel, which is why a person can go into just about any Church, and here a different message, instead of the pure Gospel.

Satan is the worlds most intelligent phsycologist, and he knows exactly how to try and confuse the Church.

But Satan can't confuse GOD, which is why I believe every word that came out of the mouth of GOD, rather than anything that man has ever tried to conjure up, about GOD's word.

There are many things that are "true" in life, but there is only one Truth.

That is going to be one of the very specific, highest laws when the anti-Christ reigns on this earth for a time, that there can be no one who claims to have absolute Truth.

I'm full of joy that I won't be here, but it saddens me to know that many will, including some of my own family.

I, or I need to say, He, is working through me, to insure that as many come to Him, as possible.

I don't know that it has much to do with gay marriage or authentic evangelicals. It's just another vivid illustration of the hypocrisy of phoney "Christian Conservatives". Sunlight remains the best disinfectant for these people.

Is it because the guy didn't want people to know his sexual habits that you call him a hypocrite? Or are you trying to say that even "admitted" gay people can't be against gay marriage? My best friend is gay, but against gay marriage and it's not hypocrisy. He's just read the Bible.

Well the evangelical minister in question has admitted wrongdoing and resigned. Thus far he has exhibited more honor than Ted "Killer" Kennedy or that unapologetic child molester Gerry Studds (a man whom Democrats like John Kerry were effusively praising a couple of weeks ago).

837 Kerfuffle  Fri, Nov 3, 2006 6:13:33am

But to God all organized Churchianity is the Whore of Babylon or one of its daughters. The intent of God was not that we know Him through an organization, priest, ritual, or because our parents were religious, but that we each know Him better than any friend, spouse, or any human relationship, until then we get the alternative human lifestyle of war, hatred, and rule by the fallen human nature, which when all is said and done IS hell.

I typically enjoy your posts and agree with a good deal of what you say. I think here that you are being a bit harsh and I find these comments slightly unpalatable.

I'm Catholic. I take a lot of the bashing (real or perceived) with a grain of salt. People are entitled to their opinions on the validity and contributions of organized religion. I hardly think that my church is a whore of Babylon or one of its daughters. And I think it is a bit presumptuous of you to assume you can speak to God's intent.

I personally do not agree with every detail passed down from the Vatican. I am VERY thankful for my upbringing, the spirituality that my parents nurtured in me and my chuch. I have been a parishoner at some very good churches that do very good work. They help me grow spiritually and have bolsterd my spiritual strength along with others in my family and circle of friends.

Don't be so quick to presume to know God's intent, or the role or value of the church.

Honestly I'm not concerend with their evil acts in history. I am aware of them of course but as far as I am concerned it is not important to me at this point. All of mankind is guilty on some level of evil acts in history. Every human being is guilty of evil acts on some level at some time in their personal history.
It is in the striving to correct that in yourself as an individual that I can respect, no matter what you "call" yourself.
Repentence is incumbent upon us all.
Jews call this Teshuva, which basically means "return". We all need to return to the source and to the basics and forget all of our trappings of identity. It's all window dressing and identity politics in my opinion.
There is one evil to fight today, only one, the Covenant of Death (see Isaiah 28:14 and forward, for one reading on it)
Which is comprised mostly by Islam but also by the Whores of Gramsci.
The religious denominations so beloved by man are an impediment to mounting a concerted, united fight by the real people of GOD against this evil IMO.
It is all illusions, there is only one BOOK and we all have it.
Read it, is the biggest religious advice I ever give. The WORD will transform you, not your "denomination" or their interpretation of the word. Read the book. That's my denomination!

846 christheprofessor  Fri, Nov 3, 2006 6:16:40am

As usual, Thomas Sowell cuts through the BS and gets to the real issue:

(Kerry) said he would "apologize to no one" that if anyone would believe that "a veteran, someone like me," would "somehow criticize more than 140,000 troops serving in Iraq" then "they're crazy."

Maybe Senator Kerry has a bad memory -- or maybe he is counting on the rest of us having a bad memory. He criticized more than 140,000 troops serving in Vietnam, making sweeping and unsubstantiated accusations against them of widespread atrocities back in the 1970s.

He criticized them at home and abroad, giving aid and comfort to our enemies in wartime. That is what first got the Swift Boat veterans after him, years before he ran for President in 2004.

Regardless of whether we believe Kerry's account of his service in Vietnam or the very different accounts by many who served in the same unit with him there, military service does not confer lifetime immunity from criticism for what you do afterwards.

Benedict Arnold was a military hero during the Revolutionary War. But General Arnold changed his mind on that war, just as Senator Kerry has changed his mind on the war in Iraq -- and no one has claimed that Benedict Arnold's earlier military service made him exempt from criticism.

Now the Jews were guilty of this and murdered Christ.

Paul, in Romans Chapter 11, explains exactly, the relationship, as it is commanded to be, between Christians and Jews, as spoken to Paul, through the Holy Spirit.

There is not a shred of condemnation towards Jews for Christs death.

Romans Chapter 11 fully explains the way the Christians and Jews are to coexist.
