-RetweetUpdate: Morocco Terror Attack

Mon, Aug 13, 2007 at 6:52:01 pm PDT

More details on the failed suicide attack against tourists in Morocco today:

RABAT (AFP) - An attempted suicide bomb attack in Morocco missed its intended target, a bus-load of foreign tourists, but seriously wounded the suspected bomber, a Moroccan security chief told AFP.

The explosion, which occurred in the former imperial town of Meknes in a central square popular with foreign visitors, ripped off the arm of the 30-year-old Moroccan man who was carrying the gas cylinder.

None of the tourists in the bus, who included French, Italians and Americans, was hurt. The blast happened at 11:30 am (GMT).

“He tried to get in the bus where tourists of several nationalities were staying, but the driver had the presence of mind to close the door in his face,” said the security expert.

The bomber, Hicham Dokkali, was an engineer who worked in the tax office in Meknes, he added.

Before marrying and corrupting (well, ok. you can't corrupt the already corrupted but u can' encourage it) the lovely Mrs. Kaffir, I dated a moroccan girl for awhile. Most of them can see through the whole Islam thing, just as about 80 percent of Turkish women.

OT: Pakistan's 60th Year of Independence being celebrated now, let's hope the fireworks are all.. just fireworks:

ISLAMABAD: The whole nation is planning to celebrate Pakistan’s 60th Independence Day with vigour, national resolve and exuberance amid fears of extremist attacks.

The day will dawn with special prayers in mosques for the unity, solidarity and prosperity of the country. Celebrations will then begin with a 31-gun salute in Islamabad and 21-gun salute at all provincial headquarters.

The largest ceremony in the federal capital will be held at the Convention Centre, where a flag hoisting ceremony will have all invitees singing the national anthem, followed by a recitation from the Quran. School children will also sing national songs and anthems. Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz will hoist the flag and address the nation with services chiefs, federal ministers, diplomats and prominent citizens attending the ceremony. In Karachi, Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ebad and Sindh Chief Minister Ghulam Arbab Rahim will hold a flag hoisting ceremony at Mazar-e-Quaid. They will also place floral wreaths on the grave of Quaid-e-Azam.

(Qaid-e-Azam is also Mr. Jinnah, one of the founders of the Pakistan state, a proponent of freedom, justice, and equality.)
Musharraf also kicked off his official political campaign today.

43 Carol Herman  Mon, Aug 13, 2007 7:05:19pm

Bus drivers always make people mad when they "close the door" right in their faces. Or they close the doors when they see people running towards them.

You can "call this an accident." But I don't! This was your "average' bomber "going towards paradise." But I bet when he pushed the button he was screaming mad at the bus driver.

So?

Well, it gave his "step" an extra "hop. Skip. And, jump." As his "mad as pieces," was a work of art. Perhaps, it's time to claim art prizes for these maniacs, too?

Virgins? How can you convince people who are not already crazy, that you'll find virgins "lined up beyond that door?" Some culture.

I don't know, but I do know that if that had happened in America, the bus driver would be brought up on hate crimes charges, profiling, and the Democrats and CAIR would throw all the money and lawyers that they could against the bus driver.

That is sad, but true.

45 WhiteRasta  Mon, Aug 13, 2007 7:05:38pm

Man, I can't imagine how much that jihadi is hurting right now.

Traumatic amputation and second and third degree burns. Plus being treated in a shit-hole Third World excuse for a hospital.

( While being handcuffed to an iron bed frame!)

Oh, well. Too bad, so sad.

I'd give him maybe 48 hours of intense suffering before he succumbs to septicemia or shock.

Generally,, the people deliver them in a small flatbed pickup... with a cigarette in their mouth naturally. Carrying one around would be heavy unless it would be one of the tiny ones people use for grilling or emergency supply. Come to think of it, I've never seen anyone carrying around one of those either.

Yep. Westerners should stay the hell out of any nation in which Islam either is the state religion or in which it is the predominant religion. Perhaps that will be a major inducement for leaders of the latter which rely on tourism to show just how moderate they are by cracking down severly on the less-moderate.

The discomfort from his self inflicted wounds should be enough to get him to talk.

If he dies from his burns then he dies.

He should not be allowed to run up a huge medical bill for the tax payers that could have been his victims.

I have to check out early tonight, still working on sheet rocking...

Came across this, Pak getting ready to close the second Afghan refugee camp fully:

NOWSHERA, Aug 12: Police and Frontier Constabulary with armoured personnel carriers were deployed around the Jalozai refugee camp on Sunday to ensure that its directive to the Afghans living there to vacate the camp by the end of the current month is implemented.

Officials said 10 platoons of the FC and 15 of police had arrived at the camp housing over 120,000 Afghans.

District Police Officer Qazi Mohammad Jamil informed journalists that the security forces had set up a control room in the camp and the UNHCR and the Afghan Commissionerate would assist them in the evacuation of the camp.

The government has announced that the camp will be closed by the end of August. The refugees have been given the option to go back to their country under the voluntary repatriation programme sponsored by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees or relocate to Dir and Chitral districts.

This is a smart move, there's no reason to keep Afghan refugees in Pakistan anymore and if they continue to do that they will have the equivalent of Gaza in another fifteen years. The downside to this is that the Taliban in Afghanistan are going to get some reinforcements from this I would wager.

Islmaphobic racial profiling accusations coming up soon when next man of "middle-eastern" desent tries rushing onto the tourist bust with gas cannister tucked under arm, only to be stopped by vigilent bus driver.

Says, disaffected and deeply hurt Mahmoud Ahmed Ahmed "Our BBQ was ruined because of this atrocity"

Oh, I went and had a look at the slide show "The Black Day", again, as a reminder. There is quote in there from Thomas Jefferson, I think it says, "The cost of freedom is constant vigilence"

Well, I've gotta hand it to dear Hicham, this jogs my memory to what Churchill said about dealing with Stalin. Any alliance with Stalin would be akin to shaking hands with murder.

That almost got Churchill uninvited from the Tehran conference with Roosevelt and Stalin, where our nice Democrat President did this:

"Roosevelt continued his policy of agreeing with Stalin and denigrating Churchill. He consented to Stalin's demand for most of eastern Poland, asking only that his approval be kept quiet until after the 1944 elections, lest it cost him votes among the Polish-Americans"

This does raise some real questions, though. Are they having difficulty recruiting people for these assignments? We've heard the propaganda about the "10,000 Martyrs." But I wonder whether the last few botched attacks indicates a breakdown in training and preparation -- nothing like the long-term planning or the logistical backing that went into the 9/11 attacks seem to be there in these recent episodes -- they seem rushed and sort of panicked.

The explosion ... ripped off the arm of the 30-year-old Moroccan man who was carrying the gas cylinder."

Well, I've gotta hand it to dear Hicham, this jogs my memory to what Churchill said about dealing with Stalin. Any alliance with Stalin would be akin to shaking hands with murder.

That almost got Churchill uninvited from the Tehran conference with Roosevelt and Stalin, where our nice Democrat President did this:

"Roosevelt continued his policy of agreeing with Stalin and denigrating Churchill. He consented to Stalin's demand for most of eastern Poland, asking only that his approval be kept quiet until after the 1944 elections, lest it cost him votes among the Polish-Americans"

-Fleming, The New Dealers' War.

Additionally, Roosevelt said he, "didn't care whether the countries bordering Russia became communised or not".

Which makes me wonder what presumptive Democrat Presidential candidates will do to contain Iran, if elected.

His first album to come out after Rust Never Sleeps, "Hawks and Doves" was a disappointment, mostly because much of it was old studio stuff. Re-act-or was just stupid. It was downhill from there.

#121 Piglet-U93
I checked out the Prophet of Doom book. I looked at the report on Somalia. This is what it says:

On October 3rd, 1993, in one of the most visual incidents of Islamic terrorism ever captured on film, Muslim militants in Mogadishu, Somalia, shot down two Black Hawk helicopters. Americans had been deployed in Somalia by George H.W. Bush on a highly politicized humanitarian mission in league with the United Nations called "Restore Hope." In addition to deposing the ruling regime, they were trying to do the impossible: stabilize the failed Islamic state, restore order, and prevent mass starvation in a land corrupted in Islam.

As a direct result of Muslims rejecting humanitarian offers of life, liberty, and prosperity, 18 U.S. soldiers were killed. Most of them died trying to rescue their fallen comrades. Several Americans had their bodies mutilated and Celebrating death and mutilating corpses is something that can help bring Muslims together - despite their differences. dragged through the streets as if they were a prize. The very people these soldiers were there to liberate and to free, murdered them in what could only be called a frenzied celebration of death. This was an unfortunately predictable display of Islam's corruptive nature and the traditions inspired in Allah's tales of torture.

The problem is President Bush did order troops into Somalia (in 1991) to aid in humanitarian efforts, as stated, but President Clinton changed that mission to one of military intervention in 1993. President Clinton's change of mission led to the Black Hawk disaster. But, where in the text does it state that? The way the text reads the whole thing was President Bush's fault. That's misleading and inaccurate, to say the least. That mistake, purposeful or not, puts the integrity of the entire book into question.

Looking past the presidential nomination fight, Democratic leaders quietly fret that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton at the top of their 2008 ticket could hurt candidates at the bottom.
They say the former first lady may be too polarizing for much of the country. She could jeopardize the party's standing with independent voters and give Republicans who otherwise might stay home on Election Day a reason to vote, they worry.

Dianna, (with two n's), I think we are non-violent agreement that Roosevelt was a quasi-socialist poofter. Both Roosevelt and Stalin wanted to see old European powers crippled.

Additionally, when Stalin made noises about Germany being an outlaw nation that should be rendered impotent forever, Roosevelt said nothing, letting him get away with the remark.

Which is more remarkable today, in that even Stalin, when suggesting that 50,000 German officers be taken outside and shot, does not come close the clearly worded threat of Amahdinejad to wipe Isreal off the map (Roosevelt jokingly talked him down to 49,000 - which angered Churchill even more).

I guess the question I'm trying to answer (not directed towards anyone in particular) is whether or not Hillary Clinton is, in any appreciable sense, a New Dealer, especially with respect to foreign policy.

I don't think so; as wrong-headed as Roosevelt could be, he actually did believe in America. I do not believe Hillary cares for anyone but herself, and what it would feel like to wield power.

The strangest thing, to my eye, is that she knows perfectly well that the longest she could hold power is eight years - this country is not going to repeal the Presidential Term Limit, and there is no possibility of a coup - so I'm not entirely sure why she wants it. On my worst days, I wonder if she suffers from that bottomless rage that creates bullies; but I'm not a psychologist, and I really don't know.

I do know, however, that, while the country would survive her, it would take twenty years to recover from 4 years of her, and some of us might not.

I also believe that most of them have no idea what they believe in, do not have the ability to actually love something or someone, do not have any respect for anything that doesn't belong to them, do not know anything about the god they think they believe in (or the one someone told them they believe in), do not know how to rationalize anything, do not know how to nurture children, do not know how to respect the woman that brought these children into this world, or have any "walking about" sense whatsoever.

I read this article tonight and the here's what I saw: A grown man going to work every day spending hours on hours thinking about strapping a bomb to himself, and thinking about how it would make him a "great martyr". No thoughts about his family. No regard for them at all. No care about who he will kill or how it will leave their families. No care...no regard...no nothing...just kill. Not happy until someone is dead.

This is pathetic. There are no excuses. This man deserves no audience.

My niece leaves for her first year tomorrow, as well. Kind of bittersweet. I handed her a bunch of "walkin' around money" and told her to behave, and call me every now and then. Life's progressions, I guess. Hope your daughter has a great experience.

Oooh!

I got to read (it was a reward for reading a lot of other stuff) the California Code of Regulations on explosives. There was some deeply amusing stuff to be found there.

Essentially, if someone could do something brainless (burn the box and paper the explosives came in, f'r instance), they had, so there was a regulation against it.

Tesco bans clown from using balloons

He has already been forced to stop using a bubble-making machine after being refused public liability insurance because insurers said the bubbles might cause the children to slip and hurt themselves. "At this rate I will have no act left," Mr Turner, from Sheffield, said. A Tesco spokesman said: "This is a health and safety issue.

"We have banned balloons because latex is used in the manufacture of them and this can trigger an allergic reaction in some children. We always have the welfare of children at heart.

Life is not fair, and I am sure Satan is not either.

Do you ever wonder if Satan is scrupulously fair? It's sort of like the thought of perfect justice; fine when you first think of it, then really terrifying as you sort through the implications.

Satans sole purpose, is to "steal, kill, and destroy."

Many peaople have, and will sell their soul to him, for a few very brief moments of "pleasure", and then pay, for eternity, in a state of pain, torture, "wailing and gnashing of teeth, evil, that man couldn't imagine, ever.

Satan rebelled against God and want to come between us and His grace. That's why Dante describes the ninth circle of Hell as frozen ice: the ultimate separation from God's love and light.

He made he choice and was expelled from Heaven. We're free to make our choices; he's always there to nudge us in the wrong direction so that we will share his fate.

Evening folks. Just back from inspecting my cabin. Hubby dearest and I watched the progress of a huge vicious storm Thursday night as it first hit our cabin with baseball sized hail and then tracked it over lake Manitoba until it hit Winnipeg. Now that was SOME storm. Anyway, when we bought our property it had two rather impressive tornado tracks through the bush and a bad reputation for storms. So we built our cabin right and we only suffered a broken window, a screen with a few baseball sized holes punched through and an eavestrough with three baseball sized holes punched through. Our steel roof has a few little dents too, but we'll not bother fixing those.

And I can now report that the 30W Canadian Tire solar panel guaranteed to survive up to golf ball sized hail can take baseball sized as well. Canadian product for Canadians living in Canada.

The best and brightest are fleeing Europe and Canada should take advantage. And in promotion of world peace, Canada should be the one country, other than Israel, more than happy to take the world's Jews and let other countries enjoy the benefits of Muslim immigration.

Kenny Chesney - There Goes My Life Lyrics

All he could think about was:
"I'm too young for this.
"Got my whole life ahead.
"Hell, I'm just a kid myself:
"How 'm I gonna raise one?"
All he could see were his dreams,
Going up in smoke.
So much for ditchin' this town,
An' hangin' out on the coast.
Oh well, those plans are long gone.

And he said: "There goes my life.
"There goes my future, my everything.
"Might as well kiss it all good-bye:
"There goes my life."

A couple years of up all night,
An' a few thousand diapers later.
That mistake he thought he made,
Covers up the refrigerator:
Oh yeah, he loves that little girl.

An' Momma's waiting to tuck her in,
As she fumbles up those stairs.
She smiles back at him,
Dragging that teddy bear:
"Sleep tight." Blue eyes and bouncing curls.

An' he smiles: "There goes my life
"There goes my future, my everything."
"I love you, Daddy, goodnight."
"There goes my life."

She had that Honda loaded down,
With Abercrombie clothes,
An' and fifteen pairs of shoes,
An' his American Express.
He checked the oil and slammed the hood,
Said: "You're good to go."
She hugged them both,
An'd headed off to the west coast.

An' he cried: "There goes my life.
"There goes my future, my everything.
"I love you, baby, good-bye.
"There goes my life.
"There goes my life.
"Baby, good-bye."

With the increased media coverage and the adoration 75% of the world shows these jackasses, they seem to feel it is their "15 minutes of fame". Just look at all the poorly planned attempts we see nearly every day - such as the dumbass in Israel who got himself killed for stealing the gun from a security guard.

re: #318 MandyManners

Allergies are indeed increasing for reasons including:

1) Peanut allergy has been associated withe use of peanut containing baby cream put on inflamed skin such as with diaper rash thereby incorrectly alerting the mucosal immune system that peanut allergy causes acute inflammation and it should react accordingly when it encounters it again. Widespread use of peanut oil in baby products did not begin until just before the appearance of widespread peanut allergy.

2) Antibacterial soaps disrupt the skin's normal bacterial content and contribute to exposing the mucosal immune system to things it then inappropriately reacts to when it meets again (such as peanuts).

3) Parasites kids used to pick up from being around farm animals and pets (hookworms in particular) downregualte the immune system preventing allergy.

Lesson: Our immune systems were designed to fight in a very dirty parasite infested world and if you take away what enemies it once fought, it finds new things to fight instead.

You have to add dirt to little kids or they don't grow up properly.

Maybe I missed a thread about this the other day when it first appeared as an ad in the NYT, but I am quite impressed by the show of solidarity from US University Presidents brazenly opposing the British UCU Academia Nut proposal to boycott of Israeli Universities. Boycott ours too!

Therefore, if the British UCU is intent on pursuing its deeply misguided policy, then it should add Columbia to its boycott list, for we do not intend to draw distinctions between our mission and that of the universities you are seeking to punish. Boycott us, then, for we gladly stand together with our many colleagues in British, American and Israeli universities against such intellectually shoddy and politically biased attempts to hijack the central mission of higher education.”

He's in Morocco. I don't think we have to worry too much about someone expressing more than passing concern for his human rights.

And, since he worked for the tax office, I'm sure the sympathy of the Moroccan on the street will be severely limited.

My main concern is the highly valuable information he must have on his trainers, financiers, and contacts.

I say get the information out of him now. Don’t let it go with him to the grave.

Because of the nature of his burns I would guess that merely withholding pain medication would be a legal way of extracting said information (and maybe the promise of giving him the medication after he talks).

I don’t want valuable information on a terror network to be lost.

Don't know what you mean by hat-trick, unless it's that cranial inversion thing.

! In both field hockey and ice hockey a hat-trick is when a player scores three goals in a game. Although people may consider a hat trick as three goals scored in a row, this is commonly confused with a natural hat trick (below). The term was brought to ice hockey in the 1940s when Sammy Taft, a Toronto hatter, gave free hats to Maple Leafs players who scored three goals in a game. It is not certain whether he picked up this practice from cricket.

Wiki has a bunch more but the only interesting part is the hockey.

I have the actual paper Charles linked to yesterday morning in front of me. I'm still livid.

Canada really does need to completely end Muslim immigration in favour of Jews, native Europeans, Indian Hindus, Chinese, non-Muslim Africans, Latinos and any other educated group whose religion doesn't want me dead because I'm an infidel. If Canada were smart, we'd be marketing the country as a refuge for Jews and educated Europeans that want to flee the coming conflict in Europe and completely stop Muslim immigration. It would be our part for world peace. We'll give a safe sanctuary for the world's Jewish population while Muslims can choose to go to any of the other countries that enjoy the benefits of Muslim immigration.

Thanks for letting me vent.

I had no idea. Geeze that was like when I first learned about bus plunges. From Charles BTW. Its crazy. Once a week somewhere around the world a bus plunges and kills dozens. And they always call it a plunge.

Technically, Charles was right, but in the case of buses with lawyers, and ___ or ___ with empty seats it's called a damned crying shame.

To date, my little movement has grown by 300% in day one, and by 66% in day two. And it's only 12:40 AM.

Canada really does need to completely end Muslim immigration in favour of Jews, native Europeans, Indian Hindus, Chinese, non-Muslim Africans, Latinos and any other educated group whose religion doesn't want me dead because I'm an infidel.

If Canada were smart, we'd be marketing the country as a refuge for Jews and educated Europeans that want to flee the coming conflict in Europe and completely stop Muslim immigration. It would be our part for world peace. We'll give a safe sanctuary for the world's Jewish population while Muslims can choose to go to any of the other countries that enjoy the benefits of Muslim immigration.

Thanks for letting me vent.
Canucks for a better Canada. Outgrowing the world's fastest growing religion one day at a time.


Canadian Infidel . . .

Never underestimate the power of an individual, such as yourself, to change the direction of Canadian society. Your plan to admit useful immigrants and block the immigration of problem-making immigrantsw is based on reality, and therefore will gain adherents among Canadians who believe that their society can best be served by using common sense.

Don't despair. Even though all the Canadian establishment seems to be against you, that can turn on a dime. Soon they'll all be clamoring to do what's "good for Canada."

The soldiers were abducted on August 9 in South Waziristan, a frontier tribal region and hotbed of support for Taliban and al Qaeda.

Thursday, July 28, 2005

As recently as last month, NASA had been warned that foam insulation on the space shuttle's external fuel tank could sheer off as it did in the 2003 Columbia disaster - a problem that has plagued space shuttle flights since NASA switched to a non-Freon-based type of foam insulation to comply with Clinton administration Environmental Protection Agency regulations.

Early Cruise: The first 13 months include spacecraft and instrument checkouts, instrument calibrations, trajectory correction maneuvers, and rehearsals for the Jupiter encounter.

Jupiter Encounter: Closest approach occurred Feb. 28, 2007. Moving about 51,000 miles per hour (about 23 kilometers per second), New Horizons flew about 3 to 4 times closer to Jupiter than the Cassini spacecraft, coming within 32 Jupiter radii of the large planet.

mccain honestly lost me when he came out against the swift boat veterans that were trying to get the truth out against john kerry. I kept an open mind and DID listen to both sides...the swift boat veterans won mine..by a LONG shot.

mccain's words on them were very dishonest and I knew it. He didn't fool me. I won't ever forget him saying...look, i've forgiven them..others must too. I wanted to shout..who the HELL are you then? I don't care what you went through for the US when you start telling other people their viewpoint is NOT valid.

At that moment, something inside me said, you know what? screw you mccain, just because you forgave all that crap doesn't mean other soldiers must..so let them go..and stop calling them names and calling them down.

Seriously?"

I'm pretty darn sure that they tried, but failed to get the whole story. I believe that we're using more advanced "interrogation" techniques under W than we were under Bubba or Bush 41. But I take your point, they felt they had reached the end of the line with him.

re: #412 Canadian Infidel


To date, my little movement has grown by 300% in day one, and by 66% in day two. And it's only 12:40 AM.

Canada really does need to completely end Muslim immigration in favour of Jews, native Europeans, Indian Hindus, Chinese, non-Muslim Africans, Latinos and any other educated group whose religion doesn't want me dead because I'm an infidel.

If Canada were smart, we'd be marketing the country as a refuge for Jews and educated Europeans that want to flee the coming conflict in Europe and completely stop Muslim immigration. It would be our part for world peace. We'll give a safe sanctuary for the world's Jewish population while Muslims can choose to go to any of the other countries that enjoy the benefits of Muslim immigration.

Thanks for letting me vent.
Canucks for a better Canada. Outgrowing the world's fastest growing religion one day at a time.


Canadian Infidel . . .

Never underestimate the power of an individual, such as yourself, to change the direction of Canadian society. Your plan to admit useful immigrants and block the immigration of problem-making immigrantsw is based on reality, and therefore will gain adherents among Canadians who believe that their society can best be served by using common sense.

Don't despair. Even though all the Canadian establishment seems to be against you, that can turn on a dime. Soon they'll all be clamoring to do what's "good for Canada."

Thank you Promethea.

We're still going. I've spent some time e-mailing some new friends. I have the Windsor Star paper with the family Charles linked to right in front of me. I'm going to keep that for a looonnnggg time.

OT: The Islamists are Coming

What’s worse than the article itself is the comment section. No matter what any person says regarding the increasing Islamist expansion throughout the world to the various anti-progressive characteristics of Islam and Muslims (and the violent actions of the RoPers), the folks just say things like, “but Bush and the Christian Right are the TRUE enemies of our freedom” and “I’m much more worried about the Christian Right” and so on and so forth. I honestly believe (and lament) that most of the far left will NEVER wake up, regardless of any future event – even a massive calamity would not awaken these people (they would simply blame the attack on our own foreign policy, half-implying that we “deserve it”). Sometimes I read heartening news about the world and other days it seems that nothing matters – it seems we don’t WANT to prevail and sometimes I think we may not, especially because the only element that will change Islam must come from within its bosom (and I just don’t see it happening in the near future; in fact I see it becoming worse). Or maybe this doom & gloom post is because the girlfriend and I had another spat – time to don the ‘phones and fire up that “Kind of Blue" record (180g of course).

re: #516 Highrise

True,

And in the future, I don't plan to spend much time in those places for that reason exactly.

But in most conversations I had with people in broken english, I was the only American they had met. Each time this happened, I reealized I had a chance (this is going to sound cheesy) to be an abmassador. Not a defender of policy, not an apologist, or historian, or an educator... Just a guy having a pleasant conversation with them.

The best part is when the conversation would enevitably turn to.. "You like-a Goorge Boosh?" My standard answer is that I voted for him once, but still disagee with him on many fronts. At this point, whomever I'm talking with realizes that not only am I a regular down to earth person, but I'm a conservative.. and NICE at the same time!

By now they are baffled... their premonitions shattered, and the conversation continues about life and culture. Two people talking.

Really, if you read their press, you would think Bush really IS Hitler and all Americans are complete assholes.. so you can't blame them. People over here talk about world opinion... the culprit for negative world opinion is generally their dirty press. After reading it on a regular basis for myself, it's a wonder they even wanted to speak to me at all. Truly despicable the press, especially in Hyderabad. Actually, in most places I've been to in each hemsphere that's the case.

Consider the fact that most of these people may only meet one or two Americans in their whole life. I'd like for them to tell their friends.. "I met an American once.. they are alright!"

yeah.. stay the F out of Iran for sure.

The fact is, too many moonbat Westerners, like the rest of us, have lived in relative Disneyland compared to most places in the middle east. They are so used to having basic human rights, that it would never even cross their minds that once their passport gets stamped and they walk onto foriegn soil, they are on their own. That anyone would hurt an American... especially a liberal one! No Red Cross, no Civil Rights attorneys, no Police like they are used to (the good kind here in the States). You are completely subject to their say.. their laws, their whim, no matter how backward, harsh, or downright evil. That reality sinks in too late for some.

Even though I think it's a "noble" cause to be there for religious purposes (A close friend worked with the Koreans in Afghanistan for years.. and left just before they were captured), people must have their eyes open, and too many of them may not understand the full reality and the darkness that consumes that part of the planet.

I've got to get to bed. Inspired by the link yesterday, in the Windsor Star paper physically currently in front of me, the Canucks for a better Canada movement grew by 300% yesterday and 100% today. And it's only 3:36 AM. We are outpacing the world's fastest growing religion.

I'm tired and the mission statement is still being revised. To date:

For my little movement, I don't want to end immigration. I just want Canada to end Muslim immigration in favour of Jews, native Europeans, Indian Hindus, Chinese, non-Muslim Africans, Latinos and any other educated group whose religion doesn't want me dead because I'm an infidel. Canada should open it's doors to any population that currently is in conflict with Muslims. We should be a safe harbour and take advantage of this time to bring in the best and finest of other cultures. In addition, Canada should specifically offer a safe sanctuary for the world's Jewish population while Muslims can choose to go to any of the other countries that enjoy the benefits of Muslim immigration.

If any Canucks tend to support these ideas, click on my nickname and send me an e-mail. I'm going to reread the posts above to thank whoever for helping me with the e-mail.

Thank you Killian Bundy. And there were many others. Thank you all.

No worries (:

THOUSANDS of flights per day, and I'm sure you have heard this before, but it's far safer than driving. After flying every week for a couple of years, I guess I'm pretty calm.

Sorry about a drive-by comment here.

Wired has an article about a great tool that could probably be used to dig up LOTS of great stuff at Wikipedia.

It allows you to check through IP to see what organization or from where edits are made to wikipedia. The example they gave was the Diebald voting machine article repeatedly being edited by someone at the company.

Would it be possible to see what edits come straight out of KOS itself or the NYTimes? Probably. It just takes searching.

Filed by AP from Gaza,:

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - Israeli troops and aircraft attacked Islamic militants in the southern Gaza Strip Tuesday, killing two Hamas fighters and two civilians and wounding 15 people, Hamas and Palestinian medical officials said.
Hamas said one of its men died in a pre-dawn airstrike, east of the town of Khan Younis, and a second was killed along with his 70-year- old mother when ground troops fired at their house.

An Israeli army statement said that in an operation against "terror threats" from the southern Gaza Strip, forces fired at armed militants in four separate incidents and hit the targets on each occasion.

A spokesman said aircraft carried out three attacks and ground forces shot a gunman posing a threat to soldiers.

Israeli Army Radio said troops were rounding up all local males above the age of 16 and interrogating them for information on militants.

Palestinian medical officials said a second civilian, Ibrahim al- Shami, 40, was fatally shot by soldiers when he went out onto the roof of his house and that of a total of 15 people wounded, seven were civilians.

The army often carries out raids into Gaza to target militants and to thwart rocket fire toward Israeli towns.

The military said a rocket was fired from the northern Gaza Strip toward Israel during the morning but there was no immediate report of it hitting anything.

The army also was in action Tuesday in the West Bank, where troops rounded up 13 suspects overnight and took them for questioning, an army statement said. It did not give further details.

If It's Bad for America, It's Good for Democrats
By Dennis Prager

"One of the two major political parties of the United States has linked all its electoral hopes on domestic pathologies, economic downturns and foreign failure.

It is actually difficult to name any positive development for America that would benefit the Democratic Party's chances in a national election.

Name almost any subject, and this unhealthy pattern can be discerned.

If African Americans come to believe that America is a land of opportunity in which racism has been largely conquered, it would be catastrophic for the Democrats. The day that most black Americans see America in positive terms will be the day Democrats lose any hope of winning a national election. Whatever one believes about the extent of racism in America, one cannot deny that the Democrats need black Americans to feel victimized by racism. Contented black Americans spell disaster for the Democratic Party.

If women marry, it is bad for the Democratic Party. Single women are an essential component of any Democratic victory. Unmarried women voted for Kerry by a 25-point margin (62 percent to 37 percent), while married women voted for President Bush by an 11-point margin (55 percent to 44 percent). According to a pro-Democrat website, The Emerging Democratic Majority, "the 25-point margin Kerry posted among unmarried women represented one of the high water marks for the Senator among all demographic groups."

After women marry, they are more likely to abandon leftist views and to vote Republican. And if they then have children, they will vote Republican in even more lopsided numbers. The bottom line is that when Americans marry, it is bad for the Democratic Party; when they marry and make families, it is disastrous for the party.

If immigrants assimilate, it is not good for Democrats. The Democratic Party has invested in Latino separatism. The more that Hispanic immigrants come to feel fully American, the less likely they are to vote Democrat. The liberal notion of multiculturalism helps Democrats, while adoption of the American ideal of e pluribus unum (out of many, one) helps Republicans. That is one reason Democrats support bilingual education -- it hurts Hispanic children, but it keeps them from full assimilation -- and oppose making English America's official language..."

What a sad -and factual- reflexion. :(
Same here and in every country there's this incredible reality that there's a certain group of people who thrive when they society is in shambles. Thus, they do their best to, well, keep it in shambles or send it there.

I sometimes get angry, or something else, but right now, reading your comment I felt sadness more than anything else. It's so sad that there are people who prosper on their country's, their society's and other people's woes.

The chain of behavior-modificating stimulae causes that up-fediness.
It's not painful, you are just owned by Dr. Brother Effer Skinner.

Seriously, don't you admire my new-minted term?
The up-fediness is the quality of being fed-up.
A condition I seem to be suffering more and more at times.
So much trash in the world provokes it, at least in my case.

And in relation to Israel and many other countries, as well as in agreement with my old condition of BES (Bush Endearment Syndrom) I would like to face those who speak ill of Bush -specially on this side of the aisle- and remember them what kind of leaders MOST COUNTRIES in the world have.
Pffft.

One of my friends - in an attempt to put our problems in perspective - would respond to the whining with, "It ain't Auschwitz, baby!"

Of course, nothing is worse than Auschwitz. Doesn't mean that bad situations can't be made better, however.

Good morning all,

Sorry to repost. Buttt.. My movement is still less than 24 hours old. If there are any Canadians that want to take grassroots political action, please click on my now-activated nickname and send me an e-mail.

Inspired by the link yesterday regarding the sign in Windsor supporting Hezbollah, in the Windsor Star paper physically currently in front of me, the Canucks for a better Canada movement grew by 300% yesterday and 100% today. And it's only 6:48 AM. We are outpacing the world's fastest growing religion.

I'm tired and the mission statement is still being revised. To date:

For my little movement, I don't want to end immigration. I just want Canada to end Muslim immigration in favour of Jews, native Europeans, Indian Hindus, Chinese, non-Muslim Africans, Latinos and any other educated group whose religion doesn't want me dead because I'm an infidel. Canada should open it's doors to any population that currently is in conflict with Muslims. We should be a safe harbour and take advantage of this time in history to bring in the best and finest of other cultures. In addition, Canada should specifically offer a safe sanctuary for the world's Jewish population while Muslims can choose to go to any of the other countries that enjoy the benefits of Muslim immigration. Canada will even help with the paperwork.

If any Canucks tend to support these ideas, click on my nickname and send me an e-mail. Also send my e-mail to any of your fellow Canadian friends. Immigration policy has just become a very serious topic up in Canada. Only me and a few other Canucks currently know about the seriousness of the issue, but that number is sooo going to grow.

I have yesterday's Windsor Star that Charles linked to yesterday physically in front of me. I'm not going to rest until every Canadian politician takes a firm stand on Muslim immigration.

I'm still working out the campaign strategy and I'm open to ideas and suggestions.

Miss Trixie, please e-mail me if you want to be involved in my little movement. You provided a list of e-mail addresses yesterday so I'm thinking you're a lizard that would be a valuable member of the "Canucks for a better Canada" campaign - and that name is so open to revision.

Thank you all!

During his show last night, John Gibson read some of the zanier Kos, Huffpo, and DU comments on the Rove departure.

My personal opinion is that Rove is a sleazy but skilled hack, a necessary evil in the age of the sound-bite.
It is therefore hilarious to see the left expand him into some kind of all-powerful antiChrist, the diabolical mastermind of the whole GOP conspiracy. "He'll be back," expounded one hysterical huffer, "Satan doesn't resign from Hell!"

Why is this extravagant hyperbole such a necessary and heartfelt component of the current leftist fantasy? I think it is intimately connected to their similar, and similarly literal. demonization of Dick Cheney. They just don't want to admit that Bush himself is the mastermind. W is a clumsy speaker, has poor media presence, and is generally lacking in media appeal. It threatens their entire value system that such a person could be smart, let alone powerful, so they must look for powers behind the throne.

642 lucius septimius  Tue, Aug 14, 2007 4:08:00am

Mornin' All. Gonna be another hot one in Chambodia today, but at least we'll stay under 100.

Today's WSJ was not terribly interesting, but there was a good comment in an article on Karl Rove that's worth repeating:

Mr. Bush's 2000 campaign strategy was explicitly to be "a uniter, not a divider." The contested election outcome made the Bush Presidency polarizing from the start, however, and some Democrats have never considered him legitimate. The debate over Iraq and Mr. Bush's response to the war on terror has compounded the rancor. Mr. Rove is hardly any more "divisive" than any other political strategist; has everyone forgotten James Carville or Harold Ickes? The difference is that Mr. Rove's remarkable run of success--first in Texas, then nationwide from 2000-2004--has caused many on the political left to assume he must be cheating. Otherwise, how could anyone vote for these Texas yahoos?

re: #641 Shiplord Kirel


Why is this extravagant hyperbole such a necessary and heartfelt component of the current leftist fantasy? I think it is intimately connected to their similar, and similarly literal. demonization of Dick Cheney. They just don't want to admit that Bush himself is the mastermind. W is a clumsy speaker, has poor media presence, and is generally lacking in media appeal. It threatens their entire value system that such a person could be smart, let alone powerful, so they must look for powers behind the throne.

I've thought about this for a while, and I suspect it is deeply rooted in their subconscious ideas about authority, with a dash of traditional (*gasp!*) Western political culture thrown in.

Leftists love authority; all of their political fantasies revolve around the existence of a massive, effective source of political power that will be able to reconfigure the world according to the absolute "law" which they think should be the ordering principle. The best text on this is the rant by Samuel in I Samuel 8 -- people are impatient with G-d or, simply, the imperfect state of the world. They want immediate resolution to the world's imperfections, the immediate execution of absolute (apodictic) law. All compromises or modifications of this law (casuistry) are somehow a perversion of justice and intolerable; at their worst moments they see these compromises (things like the US Constitution) as nefarious plots to undermine or forestall perfect justice.

Much of this view is rooted in their hatred of people. I've never known a group to purport to love "humanity" so much and to treat real human beings so horridly as leftists. But that is because "humanity" as an abstraction is perfect, but ordinary humans are not. Leftists believe that human beings can be perfected, but this goal is set in the future, and may only be accomplished when the perfect law is in place. In the meantime, imperfect beings are mucking up the works. Consequently, those who stand in the way -- whether we call them sinners, Girondists, Menscheviks, Bourgeoisie, Counter-Revolutionaries, Conservatives, Kulaks, or "Men" (if you're a feminist) -- must be eliminated. They are evil because they oppose the perfection that must be.

The perfection will only be achieved under the leadership of a king who embodies the perfection of the law. They love the image of the king; this is what makes an "evil" king so intolerable. Here's where political culture kicks in. They cannot reject the "idea" of the king -- that is sacrosanct; so they must do two things: they must insist that the king is not a king. He is a usurper, a fraud, or mentally incapable of ruling. Secondly, real power is in the hands of the "evil councilor." He is the personification of the sort of person who stands in the way of the perfection of the world. History is full of them: Sejanus, Mazarin, Rasputin. In premodern Europe, revolutions (especially during the rule of a child king) were intended to get rid of the king's "evil councilors." That's what Rove is: we can't hate "kingship," so we make the "king" into a figure who is somehow not the king; we then can vent our anger on the regency.

Does this make any sense? I've more to say, but I'll leave it here for now.

Keep it up.

My organization isn't even 24 hours old. And while there will be revisions, our current mission statement:

For my little movement, I don't want to end immigration. I just want Canada to end Muslim immigration in favour of Jews, native Europeans, Indian Hindus, Chinese, non-Muslim Africans, Latinos and any other educated group whose religion doesn't want me dead because I'm an infidel. Canada should open it's doors to any population that currently is in conflict with Muslims. We should be a safe harbour and take advantage of this time in history to bring in the best and finest of other cultures. In addition, Canada should specifically offer a safe sanctuary for the world's Jewish population while Muslims can choose to go to any of the other countries that enjoy the benefits of Muslim immigration. Canada will even help with the paperwork.

If you have any friends that like hockey and cold weather and are interested in Canada, have them contact me. I just looked at the paper from yesterday and my blood pressure rose again. Seriously, if Canada were smart, we'd take a stand, say no to Muslim immigration and bring in any Jews wanting to flee Europe. As I look at the pictures of those terrorist supporters, I so want Canada to become Israel 2. Cool. I have new goals.

By the way, I'm not a big hockey fan. Your friends would just pretty much have to like cold weather.

All the best!

*** @@@ Hawaii Hurricane Horror @@@ ***

Eye of Hurricane Flossie now visible on Big Island radar loop

Flossie was a minimnal Category 3 (barely a major hurricane) at 11 pm HST, but is probably a Category 2 now.

The eye, (which we can see on radar) is no longer visible on infrared satellite imagery.

Closer to home, Tropical Disturbance #91L looks a little better organized, and while it probably comes ashore near Brownsville, TX (and South Padre Island, where I have never been drunk, and Los Fresnos, where my late friend Jeremy Dunham was arrested for DWI) as a tropical storm as it runs out of time, maybe, just maybe, it might become a Category 1.


Tropical Depression #4 still has strong upper level winds from the East pushing most of the thunderstorms to the West of the low level center, but shear will weaken even as waters warm in its path, and future Hurricane Dean or Erin (depending on Tropical Disturbance #91L) could be a major hurricane as it approaches islands.


Models diverge, with UK Met into Caribbean, GFS and Canadian recurve out to sea, Yurpian towards Florida, so, splititng the difference, Florida, but confidence not high on a system that won't approach US for at least 8 days.

I think it means that they don't think "further". For instance, people like Noam Chomsky who'd prefer to side with Ahmadinejad doesn't see that many Persians in Iran would prefer to be associated with Islam and any ideas he might have in regards to thwarting Ahmadinejad's vision would eventually serve to suppress those Persians who want to get out from under the veil of Islam -- and there seem to be plenty.

Hordes of Muslim radicals are plotting to blow up Brits left and right. Meanwhile, British lawmakers address a much more serious threat to national security: Law bans balloons because kids might be allergic to latex.

LONDON (AFP) - A clown has had the smile wiped off his face after being told he couldn't use balloons in his act because children might be allergic to latex.
ADVERTISEMENT

Barney Baloney said he was told by bosses at a supermarket where he was booked to appear that he should leave his balloons at home because of the potential for allergic reactions.

[...]

He said he was also told by one venue he could not twist balloons into the shape of guns for fear of encouraging youngsters to commit violence, although swords were deemed acceptable.

"At this rate I will have no act left. Things are going from crazy to ridiculous," Baloney, from Sheffield, was quoted as saying by the Yorkshire Post regional newspaper.

"This country is going crazy with its political correctness and health and safety issues and it's making us a laughing stock."

A spokesman for the Tesco supermarket in Leeds where he was due to appear refused to back down: "This is a health and safety issue.

"We have banned balloons because latex is used in the manufacture of them and this can trigger an allergic reaction in some children. We always have the welfare of children at heart."

Too bad his definition of "the welfare of children" does not include protecting them from being made into hamburger by Islamists.

Look at this left wing spin and misleading headline from the socialists at al-Reuters on their story about Wal-Mart.

Wal-Mart posts higher profit

Sounds like WalMart is doing great, right? Well, if you look at the article detail you find this in the first paragraph:

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT.N: Quote, Profile, Research), the world's largest retailer, on Tuesday reported a lower-than-expected quarterly profit and cut its full-year earnings forecast, saying its customers remain under economic pressure.

So what is the basis of the headline come from?

Earnings rose to $3.1 billion, or 76 cents per share, in the second quarter ended July 31, from $2.08 billion, or 50 cents per share, a year earlier, when the company took a charge for selling its German stores.

So, Wal-Mart ate a big loss last year, this year they did not, so by comparison their declared profits rose. But actually their earnings per share dropped. So while the story is accurate, it is very misleading. This is a perfect example of left wing spin in the MSM.

Syria's Ambassor to the United States, Imad Moustapha, makes it official. Dearborn, Michigan--more accurately known as "Dearbornistan"--is now part of Lebanon.

On his blog, Moustapha writes about his travels to give a speech in

the Lebanese city of Dearborn, Michigan.
(Emphasis added.)

Gee, and I thought Dearbornistan was still in America. Silly me. The jihadists already see it as "Dar Al-Islam" [House of Islam--Islamic land].

But General Petraeus has been dogged, too, by detractors within the Army who say he is prone to overstate his accomplishments.

Moscow and Beijing have teamed up and appear determined to send a message to the White House, singly and together, which translated could mean, “Don’t mess with us” and “Stay clear of our allies.”

The two countries are currently playing war games together with Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, all members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), considered a buffer to US oil and gas ambitions in the Caspian.

The SCO claims its mission is counterterrorist but while Iran, India, Pakistan and Mongolia have been invited to attend an associated Aug. 16 summit, the US has been rebuffed.

This comes hard on the heels of a not subtle Chinese threat to the American economy. Last week, two Chinese officials made statements, which did nothing to settle market jitters

ANTIOCH, Calif.—An Islamic group called on authorities Monday to launch a hate-crime investigation into a fire that caused $200,000 in damage to an Antioch mosque.

Investigators with the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District said they are treating the fire that broke out early Sunday morning at the Islamic Center of the East Bay as possible arson, but have found no evidence it was motivated by religion.

Safaa Ibrahim, executive director of the San Francisco Bay area chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said the fire was part of an ongoing campaign to “terrorize” members of the local Muslim community.

It was an opportunity of a lifetime.

And I think it's the New york Time and other liberal media that have a tendency to overstate their accomplishments. And isn't the New York Times revenue down and their paper shrinking?

let churches and private groups run soup kitchens and homeless shelters... let private groups run hospitals. In some areas Ambulance services are private, not public, owned. etc.

A Government that is given responsibility will take responsibility... and the giver becomes a dependent.

re: #757 storagemanager Well, first of all your story was from The Arab News so I'm not so sure of the veracity of the reporting and the
"In essence, they warned the US to quit pressuring China to revalue its yuan or else it could decide to dump its dollar reserves, worth $1,330 billion and cash in its US Treasury bonds, roughly valued at $900 billion.

In the unlikely event of China following through on the implied threat, the ensuing economic carnage could make the 1929 Wall Street Crash look like a picnic because other countries would be panicked into following suit. Incredibly, some 45 percent of America’s foreign debt is held by foreigners, which leaves the US in an extremely vulnerable position."

What are they gonna do when Washington tells 'em , sorry, we'll pay off those dollar reserves - we're honor bound to do so. It's just that we'll pay 'em off at the rate of a penny a year. Or, what are they gonna do if the US says sorry guys, we aint gonna pay ya!
And frankly, Russia best watch it's ass - it isn't anywhere near as powerful as it was back it the days of the Soviet Union. They start a conventional war with us, pretty soon we'll own all their oil and gas. Period.
(and what the story doesn't tell you, but you can find on any of a number of military blogs, is that those Russian bombers were Propeller Driven. Unless those Cruise missles have a range of, oh, 2,000 miles or so, they'd never get here.

Obama calls U.S. troops "baby killers" - well, almost. Here's the money quote from a recent NH town hall meeting:


“Now you have narco drug lords who are helping to finance the Taliban, so we’ve got to get the job done there, and that requires us to have enough troops that we are not just air raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous problems there,’’ Obama said.

Campaign spokesman Reid Cherlin said Obama was not endorsing the current Bush policy, which consists solely of air raids and bombing of civilians.

Greets and saluts from the sunny NYC metro area. I haven't heard anything about a situation at the ESB, but will effort a link.

I see that a nearly completed bridge in China collapsed, killing more than a 20 people and dozens more are injured and missing. The Chinese have had a spate of bridge collapses, some during construction, and some just a few years after completion. Seems that they've got a quality control problem that goes beyond simply producing defective toys or poisonous toothpaste.

Meanwhile, for those keeping track of the Newark executions, there's more on how and why the thugs involved were allowed to roam the streets. The good news is that the community appears willing to say enough is enough and put an end to the thugs in their midst. The bad news is that there isn't any place to put the criminals caught - there aren't enough cells for the thugs we know about.

but wait... when we were fighting the Taliban, they were complaining that it wasn't the right thing to do... and that Iraq was the problem.

Then when we talked about going into iraq, they said that it wasn't the right thing to do... and that Iran was the problem.

Now that we're talking about Iran, they're complaining that it isn't hte right thing to do... and we should go back to Afghanistan?

Ah.. thanks. You need to tell your friend as the ESB that the entrance to the lobby from the post office on 33rd Street is ALWAYS OPEN. At least it was when I used to go all the time right after 9/11. They'd have all kinds of security going in and out of the main entrance, but the post office had no security and you could walk right into the lobby of the ESB without ANY notice at all.

The first recorded revolution took place at around 2800 BC when people from the Sumerian city of Lagash overthrew bureaucrats who were lining their own pockets but kept raising taxes.

The NATO attack on Serbia in 1999 during the Kosovo war killed more animals than people.

The very first bomb that the Allies dropped on Berlin in World War II killed the only elephant in the Berlin Zoo.

There are 92 known cases of nuclear bombs lost at sea.

The first reference to a handgun was made in an order for iron bullets in 1326.

Hey real!
I beg to differ. I worked a block from the ESB before, during and after 9/11 and went to the post office many many times.

In the months following September, I was shocked to see that the post office entrance on 33rd street had NO security and a direct door into the lobby. I complained a few times but I guess no one cared. It made me very nervous. Maybe they've addressed this since then but it was awfully strange to see it wide open.

Is that so? Bombing civilians? That's all he reads eh?

I guess he has selective memory and omits such information as when air raids got Zarqawi, or any of the hundreds or thousands of Taliban, al Qaeda, and insurgents spread across Afghanistan and Iraq. Besides, unless you are putting boots on the ground, what do you want the US to do to kill and eliminate the terrorist and insurgent threat in both countries? Use harsh language?

Well, actually, that's sort of what Obama wants. That is, unless he wants to invade nominal allies to go after other elements of the same terrorist/insurgent groups that he castigates when he claims we're killing civilians.

He must read every report that says that an airstrike killed a "wedding party," when in fact it was no such thing.

re: #820 Honorary Yooper

I'll see your tax on bottled water and raise you NYC congestion pricing. Bloomberg has no problem taxing millions of people by nearly $2000 a year for individuals and 5k for each truck entering the City's business district. They are apparently getting the go-ahead from the feds to look at implementing the damned thing.

He's a tax and spender. Pure and simple, though he's different from most others because he's going to put all that money collected to mass transit. Of course, you can't avoid paying the tax until the mass transit projects are finished, and even then it wont handle all those people who would be deterred from driving into the City.

So, what happens? People will live and work elsewhere - driving down the economic vitality of the city. As Bloomberg is a billionaire, I doubt he'd notice the additional costs, but for the millions who just get by, it's gonna leave a mark.
