Scary!

They let the bastard go!

From Yahoo news here:

SAN'A, Yemen - Yemen has set free one of the al-Qaida masterminds of the USS Cole bombing in 2000 that killed 17 American sailors, a senior security official said Thursday.

Jamal al-Badawi, who is wanted by the FBI, was convicted in 2004 of plotting, preparing and helping carry out the USS Cole bombing and received a death sentence that was commuted to 15 years in prison.

He and 22 others, mostly al-Qaida fighters, escaped from prison in 2004. But al-Badawi was granted his freedom after turning himself in 15 days ago and pledging loyalty to Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Terror threat still there

From NEWS MAX here:

While progress has been made, the war on terror is being undercut by leaks of operational secrets, Allen says.

“Any time you give aid and comfort to the enemy, or talk about counter measures the United States may be taking or measures that are out there to disrupt or defeat al-Qaida, it’s devastating to the United States,” he says.

Most of all, Americans must not lose their will in what will be a long battle.

“We Americans have to be strong, we have to be resilient,” Allen says. “We’ve got to be very, very tough.”

My message to congress: Build the fence, let intelligence monitor terrorist phone calls and charge the NYT with TREASON!

The silence of the media is so maddening! We need to remember these sailors and the sacafice they paid to serve for us.

To kill talk radio

Rep. Henry Waxman wants to investigate Rush, Hannity and other right wing talk shows. He wants to use our tax dollars to shut these talk shows down. Hey Rep. Waxman what part of the constituion you don't understand?

Bill of Rights: Amemdment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

The left has the freedom to have their own talk shows. It's just they don't have the audience or market share that advertisers will buy spots for. So they have the power to use our tax dollars to investigate and slime the greatest in the business. I'll fight these bastards to keep Rush and Sean on the air! I love talk radio. It keeps me sane during a full day while little o' me stay home mom does the chores, pick the kids up and take them to swimming lessons. Please don't take it away from me!

Petraeus comments on Iran

Meanwhile, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Sunday he was not asking for talks with the United States, but they would be possible if Washington changed its policy toward Teheran, Iran's official Web site reported.

Referring to last week's comment by US President George W. Bush regarding Washington's willingness to negotiate with Iran if it suspended its nuclear program, Ahmadinejad responded: "We firstly say that we never asked for negotiations with the United States. Negotiations with the US will happen when the US government applies basic changes in its behavior and attitude."

"Setting conditions is our right since we have been worrying about your atomic bombs as well as the warmongers standing beside them," Ahmadinejad was quoted by the Web site as saying.

He reiterated that Iran was ready to negotiate with any individual and country except its arch foe, Israel.

Regarding Iran's disputed nuclear activities, Ahmadinejad said his country was ready for negotiation over mutual cooperation, "but we do consider it meaningless to talk over nuclear rights of the Iranian nation."

The basic changes Iran wants are for the US to stop supporting Israel and withdrawing US troops from Iraq. I don't think it will do one bit of good to negotiate with Iran. It is better to go in and bomb Iranian sites that threaten the West.

Why did we miss the message? World Domination of Islam

From an article by Caroline Glick at JPost here:

Ahmadinejad is not interested in convincing the US government or even the majority of Americans to convert to Islam. He is interested in convincing adherents of totalitarian Islam and potential converts to the cause that they are on the winning side. He is interested in demoralizing foes of totalitarian Islam within the Islamic world and so causing them to give up any thoughts of struggle. In this goal he is no different from any of his Sunni counterparts in Saudi Arabia, al-Qaida, the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas or their sister organizations throughout the Islamic world and indeed throughout the West.

Throughout the world, Islamic ideologues are aggressively spreading their message of global domination. In mosques, on the Internet, on television, in schools, hospitals and prisons, Islamic preachers can be found propagating the cause of Islamic domination. And aside from Iran, no regime, including the Saudi regime, is immune from the pressures of the message.

Che's Kids go to Iran

The Real Che

HT from Israellycool here.

Two children of Marxist revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara are visiting Iran and are due to meet with top officials, the student ISNA news agency reported.

Aleida, 47, and her brother, Camilo, 45, are to meet with Culture Minister Mohammad Hossein Safar Harandi, as well as with a deputy minister of foreign affairs and several lawmakers, the agency said.

The two children of the Argentine-born hero of the Cuban revolution started their trip by visiting the shrine of Iran's late revolutionary founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini just outside Tehran, AFP noted.

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has moved to expand ties with the leftist governments that have won power in Latin America in recent years, finding common ground in a mutual distrust of the United States.

And we let the terrorist spew propaganda in our country!

He's a terrorist

It all started in 1979.........

Don't believe the lies he tells. He wants to wipe Israel off the map and then destroy the US. He is a NAZI! Atlas Shrugs reports about protests being held today here.

Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week

Beginning on October 22, student groups across the nation will hold Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week on their campuses. These protest weeks will feature a series of events designed to bring a message to these academic communities that challenges most of what students are taught about the so-called War on Terror both in the classroom and on the quad.

The Week’s events will include speeches about Islamo-Fascism by prominent figures, including former Senator Rick Santorum (Penn State, Temple and UPenn), Sean Hannity (Columbia), Ann Coulter (Tulane and USC), Dennis Prager (UC Santa Barbara), Robert Spencer (Brown, Dartmouth, University of Rhode Island, and DePaul), Daniel Pipes (Northeastern and UPenn), David Horowitz (Columbia, Emory, Ohio State, Michigan and Wisconsin), Michael Ledeen (Maryland), Nonie Darwish (UCLA and Berkeley), Wafa Sultan (Stanford) and radio talk show hosts Melanie Morgan (San Francisco State), Michael Medved (University of Washington), Martha Zoeller (Georgia Tech), Alan Nathan (George Mason), Mark Larson (to be named) and many others.

I would love to see Ann Coulter at USC. I'll see if I can get tickets.

I hope SHE doesn't become the C-In-C

SEN. HILLARY CLINTON (D-NY), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: It is a policy that you have been ordered to implement by the president. And you have been made the de facto spokesman for what many of us believe to be a failed policy. Despite what I view as your rather extraordinary efforts in your testimony both yesterday and today, I think that the reports that you provide to us really require the willing suspension of disbelief.

Who was her speech writer? Hillary is distancing herself from her hawkish views to satisfy the left and MOVEON.ORG. For General Petrarus to come to Washington and report to Congress and lie is outrageous. He came from the "Boots on the ground." He knows first hand what is going on in the war. And Hillary can't believe what he says. What will happen if she becomes President? Will her "suspension of disbelief" cloud her decision making as C-IN-C?
