Gosh, what a surprise. They woudn't do that.

Well, I guess that explains why the investigation hasn't been going too well... Ridiculous!

Now that Osaddomy is out of the way, let the REAL war begin.

This plea is, unfortunately, going to be swept under the rug like so many others. We wouldn't want to be accused of inciting anything with these fine, upstanding, and trustworthy partners in peace. Fucking criminals. Death and deception is in the fiber of their being.

I actually miss the old days when criminals could be roughed up a bit. Today you have to give them tea and cookies or they sue. Imagine today's criminals riding into an old pioneer town and pulling this shit. Progress is going to be our downfall when criminals use our laws to get away with their crimes.

Saddam Hussein’s Loyalists Infiltrated U.S. Operations in Iraq

Makes me wonder how this moved through the chain of approval for Shabak on the US side. Was it through the State Dept, Secret Service, etc?

LEt's Roll... something like that crossed my mind last week with the news of how most of the newly trained Iraqi army guys quit in droves. Seems to me forming an army should be last on the list. Build the infrastructure and when all is secure and ready to go... then train them after running checks. Stupid stupid stupid.

I wonder whether this is considered newsworthy by NYTimes ...

We were never prepared fot taqqiyah. Part of Islam.

One of the terror regimes simply has to follow Afghanistan and Iraq into the shitter by July 2004 or so. Syria and Iran are the obvious choices, but really-here's my imagination at work.

GIANT ROBOTS. Yes, giant robots.

Ok, but lets be realistic. First we could help Israel finish their wall, which would be gateless and protected by a massive minefield on the palestinian side, as well as the anti-katusha laser thingy and patriot batteries.

Then-- you all realize Haim Saban and Shuky Levy created the Power Rangers, right? Ok. So we build these gigantic colorful Megazord robot guys and we recruit 5 plucky teens to pilot them. Like one robot could be the Menorah-Zord or something, and one could be the Torah-Zord.. and one robot sort of looks like a gleaming metal rabbi, and he has these massive nunchuks that I swear to G_d-- shaped like two L'Chaim's connected by a chain. The other two could be like Bagel-Bot and Shiksa Girlfriend Bot, and that one's pilot would be an ultra hottie.

I do love the shiksas. Ahem.

But yeah- AND you could make it self-funding by filming the entire thing day to day. I'd give it a catchy title like "Thunder-Jew Rangers" and have it on Saturday mornings.

What the hell is going on? Why is the US allowing the Palestinian thugs to investigate the murders of Americans!? The PA is treacherous, there is no end to their deceit.

The fact that Abu Shabak was a terrorist and probably behind this particular bombing was published by Pakistan Today on June 23, 2003 - note that this is not an Israeli or Jewish source. The US accepted to have a known terrorist investigate a terrorist attack. I guess the Sauds are happy.

Report: Europe Busts Iraq Terror Network

MILAN, Italy — Authorities in Europe have shut down a network that recruited at least 200 Islamic militants (search) to carry out attacks on U.S.-led forces in Iraq, Italian investigators told The Associated Press.

The volunteers were drawn from Muslim youths living on the fringes of society in Western Europe, with loose connections to Usama bin Laden's Al Qaeda (search) and Ansar al-Islam (search), a militant group in northern Iraq.

One recruit from Italy may have been involved in a rocket attack on the Al-Rasheed Hotel in Baghdad in October, when the U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz (search) was staying there, officials told AP.

There are also suspicions that some of the Muslim militants have been involved in homicide attacks in Iraq, although there was no hard evidence, one senior Italian official involved in the investigation told AP, speaking on condition of anonymity.

An intelligence report, for example, said recruits from Europe may have been involved in the August bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad that killed 22 people, including the top U.N. envoy, Sergio Vieira de Mello, officials said. But that report apparently has not been corroborated.

"Arafat called it a courageous document" "And the thorniest issue of all--Palestinian refugees" [no mention AT ALL of Palestinian attacks on Israeli civilians, but "the ink was barely dry on the paper when Sharon ordered an incursion into the West Bank that killed xx Palestinians and left yy injured"]

I'm pretty sure she's been on before. Anyone know anything about her?

I hope Gordon reads Caroline Glick's article.

"Egypt is at peace with Israel" my ass.

Last week, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, Vice President Dick Cheney, and CIA Director George Tenet all reportedly met with Egyptian intelligence chief Gen. Omar Suleiman.

During the meetings, Suleiman reportedly demanded that the Bush administration provide guarantees to Palestinian terrorist organizations in exchange for a temporary cessation of terrorist attacks inside Israel's pre-'67 borders.

Specifically, he demanded that the US pressure Israel to force IDF redeployment outside areas transferred to the PLO in the Oslo Accords and to end Israeli military action against Palestinian terrorist chiefs, their operatives, and their terrorist infrastructures.

Upon his return to Cairo, Suleiman dispatched his emissaries to Gaza to meet with the commanders of the official PA security services, Fatah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the PFLP, the DFLP, and the Iraqi Baathist Arab Liberation Front. There they told the terror chiefs that Suleiman had received such guarantees from Washington.

How can the US deter terrorism when it is actively involved in the rapid establishment of a terrorist state? How long will the image of Saddam Hussein's cowardice work to dispel the jihadist belief that the US is a paper tiger when the US is undermining its own strategic posture by genuflecting to the Palestinian terrorist agenda?

I give up. In defiance of all his fine speeches, Bush's actions are nonsensical. His moral compass has gone crazy. I will either sit out '04 or vote for whoever the dhimmicrats nominate. What's the point in delaying the inevitable?

It occurs to me that President Bush really doesn't pay attention to polls, that he is guided by his own vision (whatever that may be) and morality. For this he has been lauded as a refreshing contrast to Clinton. The flip-side of that, of course, is that he doesn't pay attention to anything his constituents may say or write to him. Impassioned letters and pleas fall on deaf ears.

So, yeah, America and Israel seem to be working overtime to establish a terrorist state in Samaria, Judea, and Gaza. And they'll get exactly that. Then what? Invade the new state because they harbor terrorists a la Afghanistan and Iraq? The stupidity of that boggles the mind.

How many Palestinian jihadis are currently fomenting trouble in Iraq? At some point you figure everyone would see that, no matter where he lays his head at night, a jihadi is a jihadi is a jihadi. The terror is transportable, and has little to do with such Western concepts as geographical borders. Yet the Palestinians have somehow managed to bamboozle the West into believing that their cause is somehow qualitatively different from the larger jihadi cause, that their desires are stricly an attempt to redress the historical wrong of divesting them of their land. Bollocks, plain and simple, and a gross misreading of historical and current reality.

Saddam Hussein’s Loyalists Infiltrated U.S. Operations in Iraq

The Israel Law Center does wonderful work - I subscribe to their email updates. They are relentless in pursuing every legal angle available to hold the Arabs to account for their crimes. Once a year they sponsor a tour for American judges and attorneys to see first-hand what the ILC is doing - I'm planning to go next year, God willing.

This is a major embarassment for the administration, which has allowed itself to be led around by the nose by these congenital liars and murderers. We continue to deceive ourselves into believing that there are Palestinians in positions of authority who have one iota of honor or trustworthiness. We continue to think that there are Palestinians we can deal with - there are none. They are all connected to the terrorist web, and all roads lead through Ramallah.

Israel has provided the U.S. time and again with proof positive of Arafat's involvement in terror, and the involvement of everyone around him, but we just keep right on fumbling, stumbling and bumbling along, and we keep right on pressuring Israel to give the Arabs what we think they want. Our stupidity must be quite a source of amusement to the Arabs.

A classic case of putting the fox in charge of the henhouse.

It occurs to me that President Bush really doesn't pay attention to polls, that he is guided by his own vision (whatever that may be) and morality.

Bush has to appear to be taking the fight to the terrorists. Throw in the admittedly awe-inspiring language of transforming a region ruled by tyranny in to one ruled by elected governments, and it is little wonder he is so widely supported. After Vietnam, Watergate, Iran-Contra, the CIA coups and all the other dirty secrets of the Cold War, finally, some real morality. You know the 'US Armed Forces World Tour' t-shirts? It's little wonder the dates finish in 1945 and start again in 2002.

No-one liked what had to be done in the Cold War, and Bush, on appearance, is a refreshing change. A quest to set free the brutalised masses of the Middle East, to destroy the Dark Age theocrats and the tyrannical fascists who support them.

It appeals, of course it does.

I only wish it were true.

Even with our pandering to the terrorists, it does no good, they still hate us & Israel.

Britain actually buys the PLO line, and acts accordingly. Bush doesn't, but acts as if he does. The difference is that an election could, in theory, change American policy towards Israel, but would not in Britain.

Britain is also opposed to the fence, the airstrike on Syria, they talk to Arafat, give Iran diplomatic cover to finish the A-bomb meant for Tel Aviv, etc.

Colt (#62)

It doesn't really help that Bush, although wise to their ways, behaves as though he isn't but I see what you're saying. Look, Americans have been killed in Saudi Arabia too. Where did those investigations go? However, what makes this especially disgusting is that the "investigator" is a known terrorist, not some faceless zombie.
