This is where Hitlery Clinton wants your tax dollars going: Lebanese Brigades

"Lebanese Brigades" Pledge to Take Over Tel Aviv If Nasrallah So Commands.

From MEMRI:

Commander: The brigades of the fifth region: Renew your pledge of allegiance.
Footage shows the brigade members saluting the tomb of Imad Mughniya
Reporter: They renewed their pledge to continue on the path of resistance, in the footsteps of the commander of the two victories, the martyr and commander Hajj Imad Mughniya. After the words about all the accomplishments, the brigades of the fifth region in the north made their pledge, before the tomb of the martyr and commander, in the Mausoleum of the Two Martyrs, on the anniversary of his death.
Spokesman for the Lebanese Brigades: In the name of Jihad and the mujahideen, the brigades of the fifth region hereby renew their pledge of allegiance to you, oh leader of the resistance.
You have asked the mujahideen to be fully prepared to take over the Galilee at your behest. We are telling you, that from here – from the tomb of the leader of the victories, of Jihad, and of the resistance – we are prepared to take over Tel Aviv, if you so command.

Why is ‘HIJAB’ Hillary Clinton promoting the Islamic terrorists’ favorite network Al-Jazeera?

Hillary Clinton says the Muslim world’s chief propaganda machine, al-Jazeera, is “real news” unlike the American media which is sullied by dissenting opinion (like Fox News) and those evil capitalist commercials.  Put a bag on this bitch’s head and let her go see what it feels like to be a real Muslim woman by getting genitally mutilated.

-BUSINESS INSIDER– Hillary Clinton spent the morning on C-Span defending the State Department’s need for funding, because she feels private media in the U.S. has fallen woefully behind the likes of Al-Jazeera.
She says a major reason the State Department needs money is because “we are in an information war and we are losing that war” (to Muslim terrorist sympathizers) Clinton said private media is not good enough to handle the job: “Our private media cannot fill that gap. Our private media, particularly cultural programming often works at counter purposes to what we truly are as Americans. And she thinks that al-Jazeera type stations are where Americans want to get their news.
(So I guess this means she wants the government in charge of all the news we get?)

Norwegian so called intellectuals and Adolf Hitler share a love of Disney

Gudmund Hernes on Donald Duck, revolutions, Middle East:

Too many Norwegian apparatchiks and pundits have Israel on their minds.  They attribute to this little nation an exaggerated responsibility for anything that goes wrong in the Middle East, and gives it no credit for anything that goes well.

Gudmund Hernes, a former Minister of Education (Labor) has written a “funny” Op-ed in Morgenbladet, on the situation in the Middle East. He draws historic analogies, like the French revolution, and other themes, demonstrating supposedly good knowledge of what is at present politically correct, like Man Made Global Warming.
These are his views on the present situation in the Middle East:

THE DONALD DUCK EFFECT

Morgenbladet, issue of February 25th through March the 3rd, Last page
“As interesting as the Arab dominoes falling after Tunisia is Israel- a country known for its expertise concerning its Arab neighbor. But Israeli intelligence did not foresee what came. Even worse: those in power in Israel have insisted on propping up regimes on the way to the scrapheap of history.
All of a sudden the country is hanging in free air because the ground beneath its security policy is gone: not only has Israel lost its anchorage in Hosni Mubarak’s regime in the greatest Arab country, Egypt, of 80 million inhabitants. Israel has also through its bullying militaristic policies estranged itself from its mightiest northern neighbor, Turkey, also a country of 80 million.
The country has managed the masterpiece to be left totally isolated in the international community- as last shown when USA on February the 18th was alone in its veto in the UN Security Council, condemning Israel’s illegal robbery of land on the West Bank”
“Thomas Friedman quotes an Egyptian social researcher saying: If Israel remains paranoid and messianic and greedy in the major political changes in the region, the country will lose all of its Arab friends”.
“To Israel, the fundamentalists in Jerusalem are now as big a problem as the fundamentalists in Iran, both are hanging in the air. The question is who will first hit the ground”.

The author of this analysis is regarded a leading Norwegian intellectual:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gudmund_Hernes

Oric sez, "The director of a Norwegian museum claimed yesterday to have discovered cartoons drawn by Adolf Hitler during the Second World War."

William Hakvaag, the director of a war museum in northern Norway, said he found the drawings hidden in a painting signed "A. Hitler" that he bought at an auction in Germany...
He found coloured cartoons of the characters Bashful and Doc from the 1937 Disney film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which were signed A.H., and an unsigned sketch of Pinocchio as he appeared in the 1940 Disney film.

Islam opposes nukes: Iranian minister

I'm sure that means peace ~ somehow!

If Islam opposes the bomb ~ someone better tell Pakistan!!

The development or use of nuclear weapons contradicts Iran's religious principles and would violate the tenets of Islam, the country's Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi says.
"Islamic Republic authorities have reiterated that nuclear arms are against the country's religious principals," Salehi said in an interview with the Euronews channel in Germany said. "We have been committed to the NPT and believe that the proliferation of a nuclear bomb is against the tenets of Islam." (Ynet)

Sorry Ladies, Not This Time

To put it more succinctly, not NO, but HELL NO!
I was ambivalent on the Don't Ask Don't Tell debate because quite frankly I have a great deal of confidence in the average military service member to deal with any agent provocateurs that would infiltrate in an attempt to garner some headlines and be a martyr to the gay/lesbian community, but allowing women to be in front line Infantry units is not only a bad idea it is a deadly one.
Infantrymen are the pointy end of the sword. I was one for 20+ years so it is something I can speak on with fairly certain amount of expertise. We refer to ourselves as bomb dodgers and bullet stoppers. In the words of one senior NCO I had somewhere during my career, he stated that fully 95% of all weapons and tactics designed by man were developed with one intent. That is to maim or kill the Infantryman. The other 5% that were not specifically designed for that purpose could be quickly modified to do so.
Being an Infantryman comes along with a certain amount of unique characteristics. These are not only physical, but mental and sociological. Yes, the Infantry is the largest collection of good ol boys you will ever find, but that is exactly what molds them into the most effective force. When you throw females into the equation that delicate balance is upset, and anything which upsets that balance leads to greater chance of injury and death for all. Surviving as an Infantryman even when nobody is shooting at you requires a great deal of effort.
A lot people will go on and on about the physical issue, which is very real and regardless of what a bunch of eggheads want to theorize about, it is immutable and undeniable, but beyond that there is thing called trust. Trust is the one intangible that receives very little attention, but without it no front line fighting force can function effectively.
Trust is a reason I was ambivalent on the DADT question. I knew gays in the military, and while they were not in Infantry units my contact came through the medics assigned to accompany us. I could have cared two flips less that you were gay as long as two truths remained. You could patch me up or get me to safety should something happen and you didn't go around dressed in drag propositioning me or my men. In other words I could count on you to do your job and all that I had contact with could and did. If they didn't they would not have been around my unit very long.
Women are a completely different story. Infantrymen are macho, testosterone laden, Alpha males complete with an entire set of codes related to ensuring the safety and protection of the weaker sex. In addition to adding to their list of worries about bombs and bullets you now want to add the stress of protecting what used to be known as the kinder and gentler sex? Care to guess what happens when a couple of Alpha males wish to curry favor from the same female? I haven't even come close to what happens when the rumor mill goes into overdrive concerning what Johnny and Jill are doing.
I can tell you a long litany of anecdotal stories related to when units I commanded came into close proximity of women while in field environments and the often negative effects this had on the unit cohesion, but the talking heads would say that these social behaviors can be modified over time. Gentlemen and ladies , who argue for this approach I would put this forth as an argument. Time is not an ally.
For much of my career, while stationed stateside I was part of what was then known as the Rapid Deployment Force. It's mission was to have boots on the ground anywhere in the known world within 96 hours. Do you think your high minded social experiment will be ready for deployment in 96 hours?
Oh no. Before any of you elitist social engineering snobs want to go tinkering with the front line unit dynamics I would suggest you spend about 30 days with them out in Injun country far removed from anything approaching civilization. If you want to destroy the greatest military in existence you just go ahead and allow women to join the Infantry.

BBC: London School of Economics Resignation

BBC: The director of the London School of Economics Sir Howard Davies has submitted his resignation after admitting an "error of judgment" in establishing links with the regime of Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi.
Sir Howard visited Libya to advise the regime about financial reforms and accepted a £300,000 donation from the Libyan leader's second son Saif al-Islam Gaddafi for research at the LSE.
His departure underlines just how politically toxic links with the Gaddafi regime have become ever since it began its brutal suppression of the Libyan uprising.

via librabunda.blogspot.com

let that be a lesson for Economists (and that horrible magazine named the Economist). Islam can not be contained or reformed
Saif's warm reception in influential business, academic and political circles in the West was also attributable to the eagerness in some quarters to gain access to Libya's oil wealth.
"If Libya was a country without an oil producing capacity, I don't think Saif would have convinced the West," said Dr Omar Ashur, a lecturer in the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies at the University of Exeter

I had missed this great quote from the director of the school, Sir Howard Davies, made in the Times of London last Monday to defend the donation (quoted in Just Journalism):

Sir Howard defended the LSE’s new Middle East Centre, half of whose board support an academic boycott of Israel. “The biggest donor to the School in the past year is George Soros, who of course is of Jewish origin. We operate, I believe, a very balanced view.”’

We love taking money from both Jewish and Arab haters of Israel! How much more balanced can one be?

Turkey's Islamists Order Police Searches of Opposition Leaders. English courts cater to Islamists

BRITISH PAPER TO PAY COMPENSATION
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan won the lawsuit he filed against the U.K.'s Daily Telegraph on charges that they insulted him.
A British high court ruled that the newspaper did not ground its allegations in evidence and that the story was inaccurate. The court ordered the British daily to pay compensation worth 25,000 British pounds to Prime Minister Erdoğan.

POLICE RAID HOMES OF OPPOSITION FIGURES
Police raided ten locations with search warrants in conjunction with the Ergenekon case. All addresses belonged to journalists and reporters known for their opposition to the current government. Searches continue in the homes of Professor Yalcin Kucuk, author Nedim Sener, and former National Intelligence Agency (MIT) member Kasif Kozinoglu.

TURKISH POLICE SEARCH HOMES OF JOURNALISTS
Turkish police on Thursday raided the homes of several people, including journalists and a former intelligence officer, as part of a crackdown on an alleged gang accused of conspiring to topple the government, the Associated Press reports.
The raids come two weeks after a court jailed three journalists who were affiliated with the dissident web site, Oda TV. Critics say freedom of the press is under attack in the country and the United States has expressed concern over media freedom. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has denied any government attempt to silence journalists.
The European Union and the Committee of Protect Journalists have accused Turkey of suppressing critical news and commentary on the alleged anti-government conspiracy. About 400 people, including journalists, politicians, academics and retired military officers are on trial accused of being part of the so-called Ergenekon network, which allegedly tried to overthrow Erdoğan's government in 2003.
Police were searching computers, notes and books of the journalists, including Ahmet Şık who already faces prosecution for co-writing a critical book about the crackdown on the so-called Ergenekon network, NTV reported.
Police had reportedly discovered a draft manuscript by Şık on one of the computers seized in last month's raid on Oda TV several websites said. The draft allegedly focuses on the religious groups within the police force.
Nedim Şener, an investigative reporter for Milliyet and Posta newspapers, and Doğan Yurdakul, who occasionally writes for Oda TV, were among the targeted journalists along with a renowned hard-line secularist and leftist writer Yalçın Küçük, NTV said.
The Ergenekon case started in June 2007 with the discovery of 27 hand grenades in a shanty house belonging to a retired noncommissioned officer. The finding has led to scores of arrests and put nearly 200 journalists, writers, military personnel, gang leaders, scholars, businessmen and politicians in detention in what has become a terror investigation to stop the alleged ultra-nationalist gang. In the later stages of the investigation, those in custody have been accused of planning to topple the government by staging a coup, initially by spreading chaos and mayhem.

Hamas Gaza Bank Robbery

Yesterday, Ma'an did everything it could to avoid mentioning that Hamas had robbed a bank in Gaza. But now that others have made the accusations, Ma'an feels it can report on the story.

And it is a doozy.

Roger Cohen's latest anti-Israel screed a classic piece of propaganda

Roger Cohen in the NYT gives three reasons he thinks Israelis are anxious about the Arab world upheavals.

Israel is anxious. It preferred the old Middle Eastern order. It could count on the despots, like Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak, to suppress the jihadists, reject Iran, and play the Israeli-Palestinian game along lines that created a permanent temporariness ever more favorable to Israeli power.

Notice "permanent temporariness." Cohen is implying that everyone knew deep down that there would be a wave of popular revolutions in the Arab world, and that Camp David was Israel's way of stopping that inevitability in order to impose its hegemony on the region.
I'd love to find the Roger Cohen columns from between 1979 and 2011 that gave us a glimpse of this inevitable Egyptian revolution.
Moreover, his very premise is that the Israel/Egyptian peace agreement was a means to ensure Israel's power. In the end, though, Israel is the only party that took a risk at Camp David - giving up a huge amount of territory for nothing more than a piece of paper. His characterization of the peace agreement as some sort of Israeli coup rather than a frightful gamble is ridiculous and borderline slanderous. (And nowhere in his article does he mention that likely Egyptian leaders are all calling to re-examine Camp David, something that gives great credence to the Israeli fears he likes to downplay.)

Israelis are doubly worried. They wonder, Mr. President, if you like them in a heart-to-heart way. You’ve been to Cairo, you’ve been to Istanbul, so what’s wrong with Jerusalem? Why won’t you come and kvetch with us, President Obama, and feel our pain?

What does this have to do with Egypt? It is true that Israel doesn't feel the same warmth from Obama that it felt from George W. Bush and from Bill Clinton. The reason is because it simply isn't there.

Israelis are triply worried. Elections are unpredictable — just look at Gaza — and now they may be held across the Arab world! There’s the Muslim Brotherhood talking a good line but nursing menace. And what if Jordan goes, too?

"Just look at Gaza?" Perhaps we need to remind this self-styled Middle East expert that Hamas was not only elected in Gaza but by Palestinian Arabs as a whole across the West Bank as well.
Here's a bit of education for Roger Cohen - the 2006 election results by district:

Hamas won in Jerusalem, Tulkarem, Nablus, Salfit, Hebron - and even Ramallah!
