Stupid is as Stupid Does

 This (below) is an article published in Spain in May of 2007.  I thought I would reprint it here as we look at the conundrum that history has dealt the world.  I know many look for easy answers and simple solutions and may want to blame current politicians for our problems, but I ask is this a problem of current political ineptitude or is the political ineptitude our failure to recognize that we are confronting an existential problem of tremendous magnitude.  I for one am coming to believe we may indeed need to visit for a time a leftist government in this country to clarify to the people that this is a challenge we must come together and resist or we will suffer tremendous losses.  It might be only under leftist management that the left will ever recognize the problem we confront.  It is not enough for the left to parse every isolated nuance in the management of world affairs to falsely paint a portrait of blame on the right while using this as a reason to avoid the inevitable.  I suggest there is massive denial on the left of the reality of world affairs.  You might find the article below interesting, I doubt you will find it inaccurate and most of all it isn’t “Bush’s fault,” it is yours and my fault………………. 

ALL EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN  AUSCHWITZ

By Sebastian Vilar  Rodrigez

     I walked  down the street in Barcelona , and suddenly discovered a terrible truth  - Europe died in Auschwitz.  We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, and talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world.

     The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world. These are the people we burned.  And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty, due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.

     They have blown up our trains and turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime.  Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts.

     And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition.   We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for hoping for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs.

Mughniyeh is Gone!!!!!!

 I’m apoplectic about this mornings news.  Imad Fayez Mughniyeh has gone to his reward in doggie heaven.  In this war on terror if someone has to die as they always do in war there is none more deserving than this dude.  I remember when the world was first introduced (in a major and real way) to Osama bin Laden I read an article in Jane’s Defense Weekly the Mughniyeh was in fact the most dangerous terrorist in the world, not bin Laden.  He has been causing havoc in the Middle East causing numerous deaths of even Americans since the 1980’s while acting as a surrogate of Iran.  Yes, Iran is another one of those countries that has been prosecuting a war against the United States while we sat around and have argued amongst ourselves whether we are the cause of our own injury here or whether it is the terrorists with a world wide objective.  Imad was the terrorist ordained by Iran that led the 2006 Hezbollah war in Lebanon against Israel after kidnapping their soldiers. This dude is so bad that he is one of the few Terrorists that have the full $25 million dollar reward on his head such as bin Laden. For a more detailed background of just which acts of terror this guy has committed over the past 3 decades check out THIS (February 13, 2008) link at DEBKAfile and more information HERE. For those of you doubters out there this only goes to show that there is a bit of justice in the world.

Chuck Schumer Supports Torture (at least in 2004)

 Chuck Schumer supported the use of Torture in interrogating terrorist prisoners in 2004.  He went on to say that we should understand that the foxhole is  a different thing and in some way Bush is in the foxhole everyday and that he SURELY can’t be blamed if he asks the White House Counsel to clarify the legality and applicability of using torture to protect America and Americans.  He also gave a nod to the other side of the issue (what I would call the other side of the aisle) by saying it shouldn’t be used willy nilly.  Check out this live audio (Part 1 & 2) from the Mark Levin Show HERE and hear Chuck with your own ears.

Look for the picture above of Schumer on this site to find the mp3 file. I find it interesting that now in this Presidential season that the Congress wants to do everything possible to cast not only Bush’s actions but his intentions in the worst possible light that they will do and say anything and hopefully enact laws to tie his hands all in order to embarrass him without regards to the damage it will cause to the United States and its’ security.  This is just another example of why they can’t be trusted with our national security.  To them it is just another political issue to be spun from the left to the right as it meets their parochial political needs at any given moment.…………and water boarding isn’t torture Teddy, just ask the journalists that have voluntarily submitted themselves to it or the many American troops that have been subjected to it in training…….but then again the beef on the left is in using it with our enemies and the terrorists that want to nuke us not in the using it to train our on troops.  I find this unfathomable.

Nuclear Holocaust

 I don’t know if this will draw much response, but I want to ask the “active” readers and commenter’s at NSL and even the lurkers to offer a brief (or long if you desire) comment on the following topic.  Remember I get to ask the question and define the parameters and you get to answer.

I want to encourage everyone to offer their opinion on this point without regard for their personal view of President Bush.  I will make the assumption that your personal view of the United States and the security of its people is of the highest order and you have its’ best interest at heart.

The Question is this:  If AFTER all reasonable attempts to have Iran disengage their pursuit of Nuclear weaponry by the United States and our European Allies (including economic sanctions that are going on now and periodically tightened) and just BEFORE it becomes clear that IRAN is on course for the manufacture of a thermo nuclear device, WOULD YOU BE IN FAVOR OF PREEMPTIVE MILITARY ACTION to reduce this threat whether Bush, Hillary, Rudy or whoever is President?  And if not, are you willing to accept the trade off of the possibility of a terrorist or terrorist nation obtaining one of these bombs and using it in the United States, or do  you with an absolute degree of Metaphysical Certitude believe that the United States would not be endangered by this either then or later? For additional information as to the U.S. viewpoint and preparation for Iran on NSL go HERE. (post below)

Does Bush Budget Suggest Attack on Iran?

 Lets see, Bush has made an emergency request for an emergency war funding bill in the amount of $190 Billion.  Some are speculating that line items contained in this bill may suggest of a forthcoming strike on Iran.  Included in this bill is a request for $88 million to retrofit B-2 Stealth bombers to enable them to carry a new 30,000 pound “bunker buster” bomb called the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) which has the capacity to destroy deep underground targets.  Northrop Grumman the prime contractor for the B-2 Stealth Bomber says the B-2 would be able to attack and destroy an expanded set of hardened and deeply buried military targets.  Gerard Baker, U.S. editor of the Times of London, says that the U.S. now believes that it “thinks it has the intelligence and the military capacity to undermine the Iranian threat seriously.” 

The tone of an increasingly recalcitrant and self-confident Iranian regime has taken a significant turn in the past few weeks Baker feels that the debate in Washington is focusing on what to do.

Some say that this retrofit of the B-2 could in fact be for the purpose of attacking bin Laden in his Mountain Caves, but Baker correctly claims that the U.S. own the skies in Afghanistan and Iraq for that matter and would not need to deploy the B-2 for this task.   I agree with Baker on this in that Conventional aircraft could more easily be deployed for this task if there was no threat of enemy air defenses.

According to Baker “The only real question about the next phase in this war is whether an escalation by the U.S., in a pre-emptive strike against Iranian nuclear facilities, would further American – and Western – objectives, or impede them. The evidence is increasingly suggesting that the costs of not acting are equal to or larger than the costs of acting.”

Democrats to Sabotage the War Effort

c4_tomlantos.jpg   NOTE 10/14/07 UPDATE BELOW  It is now clear that the Democrats in Congress are trying to sabotage the war effort or are criminally negligent in causing the same.  In the House of Representatives the Committee on Foreign Affairs has voted to include the word Genocide in a House Resolution concerning the death of Armenians in World War I.   This nonbinding House resolution said the deportation of nearly 2 million Armenians from the Ottoman Empire between 1915 and 1923, resulting in the deaths of 1.5 million of them, amounted to genocide.  I don’t know what the merits of the claim are but it seems a little late to press this matter against the current citizens of Turkey and seems to serve merely as a provocation.  I wonder why during the 50 years Democrats controlled the Congress they didn’t proffer a similar resolution unless………………..

It didn’t also serve their purpose of trying to hamstring the war effort in Iraq.  Lets put this against the backdrop of the Democrats complaining about the Bush Foreign Policy and how he has trashed relations with our friends and allies around the world AND how they would reverse that.  The immediate result of merely the action of the committee was for the Turkish government to recall their Ambassador from the United States.  Turkey has warned that if the Full House passes this presumably on Friday that there will be serious consequences……………….

Now to the Democrats game plan…………Ever  since France passed a similar resolution they have not been able to get “fly over” privileges and 30 per of the fuel consumed by the US troops and 70 percent of the cargo to the troops in Iraq pass through Turkey.  Tom Lantos, the Democratic Chairman of the committee, was unmoved by the Turkish protest of this action.  He did say that “The Turkish government will not act against the United States because that would be against their own interests.”  This seems to be a rather arrogant, presumptuous and reckless defense of this action especially in face of  the fact that a similar action did seriously damage Turkey’s relations with France. (Is this the new partnering tone that has been promised from the Democrats?)

I am now going to question the appropriateness of the American Flag occupying the same space as the picture of Tom Lantos above.  If he is not guilty of this 5th column action he is incredibly naive and is not ready to be the Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of the House of Representatives in the United States at this time of extreme peril.

UPDATE:  10/14/2007 Notwithstanding Tom Lantos’ cavalier statement to the contrary when predicting the response by Turkey to this fatuitous piece of Congressional pandering, Turkey’s top General Yasar Buyukanit has stated that ties with the United States would never be the same if the full Congress ratified the resolution of Lantos and the Foreign Relations Committee.  In a quote from the AP this morning: Turkey’s top general warned that ties with the U.S., already strained by attacks from rebels hiding in Iraq, will be irreversibly damaged if Congress passes a resolution that labels the World War I-era killings of Armenians a genocide.  ……… Gen. Yasar Buyukanit told daily Milliyet newspaper that a congressional committee’s approval of the measure had already harmed ties between the two countries.

Brilliant ?

lebanon_syria.jpg  DEBKAfile  is reporting with a breaking exclusive that the US is planning to put an airbase in Lebanon 22 miles from the Syrian border.  This would represent the first return of U.S. military to Lebanon since they were withdrawn by Reagan in 1983.  Some of you that are familiar with Debka may scoff at their reporting, but after following their reports for a number of years now I would say that their accuracy is much, much higher than is popularly reported. 

This could be the “check and mate” regarding Syria’s strong arm pressure on Lebanon, occasionally removing a head of state as they may desire.  This also would take Hezbollah off balance and jeopardize their military supply lines.  This could be just what the doctor ordered.  I wonder if this has anything to do with Sec. Rice’s meeting with Syria’s Prime Minister Saniora in June or the pledge of $770 million of U.S. Aid in January.  We’ll just have to stay tuned for further developments in this area.

Should You Care about CAIR?

ibrahim-hooper-2.jpgibrahim-hooper-1.jpg  I almost added a tag to the title above, however it was too long, but it went like this: “Should You Care about CAIR? …………. Who cares, Bush Lied (didn’t he)?  I’ll just start by saying up front that CAIR (acronym for the Council on American-Islamic Relations pronounced care) is an American Islamic terrorism sympathizer and supporter at the least.  I believe that any balanced perspective this group concludes that they are Anti-American liars and terrorism apologists.  Even internally their membership rolls have dwindled to extremely financially unstable levels.  [Okay, now those of you that tend to automatically debate any sober and realistic view of the radical quarters of Islam can begin sharpening your pencils because it is by far more important to try and justify your hate for the Bush administration on any point than to grid yourselves for the battle we confront against the terrorist organizations of the world.] 

Why do I say this?   You may just think of my musings as some type of racial or more accurately religious prejudice.  I wondered about that myself and after some soul searching I have concluded that Read more

Obama Draws a Bright Line for our Enemies to See.

obama-draws-the-line.jpg PR Inside dot com is reporting HERE that Senator Barack Obama elicits the wrath of other Democratic candidates by stating flat out that he would not use Nuclear Weapons to fight terrorism in Pakistan and Afghanistan under any circumstances including tactical theater defensive weaponry.  Democratic Senators Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Chris Dodd were correct to criticize such careless references to the potential U.S. posture on these issues.  So what does this mean?  Well lets examine it here.  I am sure our enemies are examining it.

     If al Qaeda managed to get a suitcase nuke into New York City and detonate it and it killed lets say 500,000 to 1,000,000 American civilians Barack wouldn’t even consider retaliation on the Taliban and al Qaeda to try and root out their leadership.  As a consequence of this telegraphed posture any country such as N. Korea or Iran (when they have the bomb that Barack Obama would tolerate) could funnel a nuclear bomb to terrorists to use on U.S. soil and they could do so with no fear of reprisal (at least nuclear) from Obama.  I don’t think this guy is ready for prime time……..

Syria’s War Plans Against Israel

israel-flag.jpg DEBKAfile reports that it looks like Syria’s intentions for a Summer war against Israel has been delayed until November.  Olmert first tipped this off when he commented this past Tuesday (7/31) that he believed this Summer and Fall would be less “hot” than expected.  According to military sources this evaluation reached Jerusalem via Washington last week. 

The belief is that the scope of the initial thrust will be to test Israel’s military response to a series of cross-border raids.  According to DEBKA, President Assad and his inner circle (including his brother-in-law) have designed this plan and it hasn’t been widely disseminated throughout Syrian offices.  Of course Syria has denied any intentions of going to war against Israel.  I sure hope Olmert’s administration is up to this challenge, but I don’t have a lot of confidence in this particular crowd.
