Well Mr. President, How is that outreach to terrorists working out for you? Today Iran provided its answer to the Presidential appeasement, they have announced they have approved a plan to build TEN new nuclear power plants. The Iranian government on Sunday approved a plan to construct 10 new uranium enrichment plants, just two days after the International Atomic Energy Agency voted to rebuke the Islamic Republic for building an enrichment plant in secret. The new enrichment plants would be the same size as its main enrichment complex at Natanz, state broadcaster IRIB reported. Hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Iran...

MINSK (Reuters) – The United States and Russia will sign a deal this year to cut vast Cold War arsenals of nuclear weapons but may miss an early December deadline, a Kremlin source told Reuters on Friday. Diplomats from the two biggest nuclear powers are trying to prepare a new agreement on cutting atomic weapons before the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty expires on December 5. The new accord will be signed "in a European country" in December, the Kremlin source told Reuters in Minsk, where President Dmitry Medvedev was meeting regional leaders. "We may not be able to do...

While American families have gathered for the Thanksgiving holiday, President Obama schemes to release more hardened terrorists on an unsuspecting world. Obama demanding release of additional 1,000 terrorists Israel Matzav thelastcrusade.org Arutz Sheva is reporting that President Obama is demanding that in connection with the terrorists for Gilad trade, which is being made with Hamas, Israel release an additional 1,000 terrorists as a 'gesture' to 'moderate' 'Palestinian' President Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen. In response to U.S. demands that Israel free an additional 1,000-some terrorists as a "gesture" to Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas, Lieberman said that previous releases of...

Any time a high profile "conservative" GOP leader, who also happens to be an evangelical, comes out in strong support of Israel, the rabid misguided Israel-hating leftist appeasers always trot out this "slander" against Christians who support Israel. Michael Yglesias did this when Huckabee went to Israel to show support and stand in solidarity with Israel in the face of pressure from Obama. Now this gang of leftists Israel-haters are doing the same thing to Palin. I would encourage the readers to see Erick Stakelbeck's article, Slandering Christian Zionists: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2312376/posts From Rosner's Domain: "Why Sarah Palin said that "more and...

In a Homeland Security Senate committee meeting, Frances Townsend launched a verbal attack against the Rev. Pat Robertson. Describing Robertson's remarks about Islam as "ignorant and offensive": “Islam is a violent, I was going to say religion, but it's not a religion. It's a political system". “It's a violent political system bent on the overthrow of the governments of the world and world domination. That is the ultimate aim.” -Robertson Senator Carl Levin was equally condemning. As was U.S. General John Kean. The truth is that Robertson's remarks were both inaccurate and spot-on accurate at the same time. According to...

Evangelist Offends Islam bythelastcrusade.org Pat Robertson, Chairman of the Christian Broadcasting Network and former GOP presidential candidate, has raised the ire of Islamists and the wrath of CAIR (Council for American Islamic Relations).In a broadcast of the 700 Club Monday night, the Virginia Beach pastor said that the massacre at Fort Hood was caused by a politically-correct refusal to recognize the violent nature of the Muslim religion."Islam is a violent--I was going to say religion--but it's not a religion.

At their convention this past August, Mahmoud Abbas and his Fatah faction of the PLO officially endorsed a recognized terrorist organization as the "military wing" of Fatah. The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade. These jihadists have been responsible for gruesome "jihad in the way of Allah" suicide bombings. They also openly serve in Abbas PA security services. Some of them have also bragged about the military training they recieved courtesy of your U.S. tax dollars and General Keith Dayton.

The Foreign Minister of Israel, Avigdor Lieberman, understands the nature of the threat against Israel and it's root cause. And he is not given to political correctness on this matter.The following statements were made by Lieberman at the Saban forum according to Israeli media:"A return to the pre-1967 lines, with a Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria, would bring the conflict into Israel's borders"[ And also be interpreted as a victory for Islam and jihad terrorism, that's what happened when Israel left Gaza.] "Establishing a Palestinian state will not bring an end to the conflict"   [ That's the truth!]...

SINGAPORE: A major pact within tantalizing reach, President Barack Obama aims to nudge forward an arms-control deal in talks with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. The 21-member Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum brought Obama to Singapore, but he is focusing on individual meetings Sunday with Medvedev and with Indonesia's Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, president of the world's largest Muslim nation and Obama's home as a boy. The US-Russia meeting takes place as the nations seek a successor to a Cold War-era agreement. Obama planned another milestone: joining a larger meeting that includes the leader of military-ruled Myanmar. Obama is sure to face criticism...

How low will he go? This photo will get Democrat President Obama a lot of approving nods in Japan this weekend, especially among the older generation of Japanese who still pay attention to the royal family living in its downtown castle. Very low bows like this are a sign of great respect and deference for a superior.

Islam's "peace" deal for the Philippines: MOA AD Which stands for "Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domains" Which the authors of this Philippine commentary have refered to as the "Sultanic Verses". The commentary is an excellent analysis of the MOA AD, and adequately debunks the false Islamic claims and propaganda. In August 2008, the Philippine Supreme Court ruled the MOA AD un-constitutional. But the fight against appeasement is not over. Obama,the EU, and UN are pressing the Philippine government to sign an appeasement agreement with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.

The leaders of the free-West need to wake up and realize that the Islamist demand for a "Palestinian" state, in the heart of Israel's Judea and Samaria, is part of Imperial Islam's strategy to subjugate and bring the non-Muslim world into submission to Islam. Just as the Islamist demand for a " Bangsamoro" state in the southern Philippines is also a part of this same global jihad.This is the Islamist strategy. Once Muslims attain a small, but significant, percentage of the population in a non-Muslim country, then they start both political and militant jihad campaigns demanding concessions of territory.  The word "Bangsamoro" means "Muslim State". "Moro" comes from the Spanish "Moor", meaning...

Vienna/Tehran (dpa) -- The United States is willing to give Iran time to come up with a response to a proposed multinational nuclear fuel deal, the US ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Glyn Davies, said Monday. "We want to give some space to Iran to work through this. It's a tough issue for them, obviously," Davies told reporters in Vienna, adding, however, that Washington hopes for a response soon. Since the IAEA drew up a draft deal last month to ship Iranian uranium abroad and exchange it for foreign-made fuel for a medical nuclear reactor in Tehran,...

This past August, the current Attorney General, Eric Holder, decided to launch an investigation of the CIA's methods of interrogation of suspected Islamic terrorists.A move lauded by terrorists.And condemed by seven former CIA directors, that Holder's actions in that regard, could actually help Al-Qaeda. Not to mention other Islamists.Meanwhile, Janet Napolitano, head of Homeland Security, has been in Abu Dhabi in the UAE discussing "security issues" with United Arab Emirates officials.After the Ft. Hood jihad terror attack, Napolitano made comments while in the UAE, that could basically be understood as an apology to the Muslim world,--if Americans are suspicious or angry toward Islam, because we have been attacked again.After 9/11, then Attorney General John...

President Obama is playing out a drama on the world stage, addressing Islam as a virtual supplicant, and conceding serious issues, while getting nothing in return. Why? Richard Baehr writes: The President demanded a complete freeze on Israeli settlement building, including in sections of Jerusalem, supposedly in return for some conciliatory gestures by the Palestinians and Arab states toward Israel. The demands on Israel hardened Palestinian attitudes, and the PA made a total settlement freeze a precondition for resuming peace talks. No gestures towards Israel were forthcoming from any Arab party. Instead, the Palestinians and Arab states launched a full...

As USS New York pre pares to join the fleet, she will enter a world of crises. As we obsess over worthless Afghan real estate, truly vital problems loom abroad. Violent challenges to our security and strategic position are slighted or ignored, while a combination of politics, pride and inertia bind us to a distant land of marginal relevance. The crises highlighted below are not in order of priority. Any of them could take a painful bite out of Washington's complacency: Iraq: Given its strategic location, iconic importance in the Arab world and vast oil reserves, Iraq matters to us....

By Barry Rubin thelastcrusade.com Will Rogers, the great American comedian of the 1920s and 1930s, famously said, “I never met a man I didn’t like.” The problem with the Obama Administration, at least so far, is that it has never met an enemy that it could identify as such.Of course, the story isn’t over yet. Indeed, one does see signs of change. But we are still...

Cold War: The White House has announced our absence at ceremonies marking the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Meanwhile, Russia has been practicing a nuclear invasion of an abandoned Poland. The Berlin Wall has been a famous backdrop for American presidents sounding the battle cry of liberty in the struggle against tyranny. It was there that John F. Kennedy expressed our solidarity with the encircled residents of that outpost of freedom with his famous "Ich bin ein Berliner." And it was there that Ronald Reagan, with a defiant "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall," voiced our...

President Obama's lack of leadership is beginning to effect morale in the United States. Its been three months since General McCrystal sent his report on next steps for the War In Afghanistan. Since the President has been sitting on his military assets, confidence in the War on Terror has plummeted, and now the confidence is falling for both Iraq and Afghanistan.

That’s down nine points from a month ago and 14 points since McCrystal first filed his...

The Obama administration is considering an almost complete surrender in Afghanistan, if the report this weekend by the BBC's Katty Kay is accurate.Speaking as a panelist on the Chris Matthews Show, a weekend public affairs broadcast, Kay reported on the internal debate at the White House, "There are real questions being asked, I think, about whether even with a big injection of troops this is a real country, a real war that you can win."And there's a new phrase which is floating around the White House which is 'minimum security'.

The Washington Post reports tonight that Barack Obama and top administration officials have concluded the Taliban cannot be beaten and that they are looking for ways to cede parts of Afghanistan to the Taliban without those regions becoming safe havens for al Qaeda.The article also reports that Obama may wait until after he returns from a 10 day visit to Asia that begins November 11 to decide his policy for Afghanistan.The Post article is largely about Obama's request made this week, two months after he received Gen. Stanley McChrystal's request for tens of thousands more troops to fulfill Obama's counter-insuregency...

The video title identifies this as a speech at the '64 Republican convention. That is incorrect. RR made the speech in LA on October 27, 1964 for the Goldwater campaign. Everyone who watched the telecast knew he could go places in politics if he wanted to. It was definitely a boost to us Goldwater kids after hearing "you are going to lose" for months. WATCH IT AND REMEMBER WHAT IS LIKE TO HAVE A REAL LEADER!

When Charlton Heston held up a replica Revolutionary War musket, and said "From my cold, dead hands," at the NRA Convention in 2000, he was not the first to use those words in that context, but his use is certainly the most famous. It was a powerful speech that Heston gave, delivered with both the solemnity and the fire one would expect from one of the few actors capable of pulling off the role of Moses. Much has changed since that speech, including the now much more politically correct NRA. Can anyone imagine the top of the NRA hierarchy now...

Call for a Lipstick Revolution By Norma Zager Watching a series about World War II, I remain haunted by one story. A soldier was relating an attack and the death of a friend in combat. He described the horrifying scene as life poured out of his buddy as he screamed for his mother.

It is long past the time for women to speak up and demand an end to this painful...

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has formulated a new policy for Sudan that proposes working with that country’s government, rather than isolating it as President Obama had pledged to do during his campaign. In an interview on Friday, President Obama’s special envoy to Sudan, Maj. Gen. J. Scott Gration, retired, said the policy, to be announced Monday by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, would make use of a mix of “incentives and pressure” to seek an end to the human rights abuses that have left millions of people dead or displaced while burning Darfur into the American conscience.

--snip--The Russian leadership, hardly believing its luck, needs no interpreter to understand that when the Obama team clownishly rushes in bearing gifts and "reset" buttons, there is nothing ulterior, diabolical, clever or even serious behind it. It is amateurishness, wrapped in naivete, inside credulity. In short, the very stuff of Nobels.

HILLARY CLINTON’S words of support for Georgia during her visit this week to Moscow did little to calm fears in Tbilisi about Russia’s intentions in the turbulent Caucasus mountains. Two of Russia’s most powerful men sent shivers through Tbilisi during the US secretary of state’s stay in Moscow, with statements that fuelled worries the Kremlin’s fight with rebels in its own restive Caucasus republics could spill into neighbouring Georgia. The struggle between Moscow’s security forces and militants, once confined to Chechnya, is equally intense in two other Russian regions, Dagestan and Ingushetia, where police and soldiers come under daily attack...

Russia in a new review of its policy on use of nuclear weapons will reserve the right to undertake a pre-emptive strike if it feels its security is endangered, a senior Kremlin official told a Russian newspaper. Russian and U.S. negotiators are in talks to find agreement on a new bilateral pact cutting stocks of strategic nuclear weapons. Both sides are working to a December deadline for a new treaty to replace the landmark Cold War-era START pact. While Moscow and Washington have made progress in strategic nuclear arms talks, Russia's security may come under threat from regional conflicts and...

Russia and the United States have tentatively agreed to a weapons inspection program that would allow Russians to visit nuclear sites in America to count missiles and warheads. The plan, which Fox News has learned was agreed to in principle during negotiations, would constitute the most intrusive weapons inspection program the U.S. has ever accepted....

Washington will tone down its criticism of Russia's human rights record in order to win Kremlin backing for possible sanctions against Iran, it has been claimed. It is the latest in a number of concessions the US has made to Moscow in order to improve relations and encourage co-operation on international issues. The plan emerged as Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, visited Russia to discuss a range of issues including Iran's rogue nuclear programme. Mrs Clinton's trip was part of what Washington is calling a "reset" with Moscow, a new more constructive relationship with the Kremlin that President...

Yes, I wish that this was a satire piece, but unfortunately it appears that this is real. President Obama's Administration is going to allow Russia to inspect our nuclear facilities-- within the United States. This is an unprecedented move that damages US national security. Not only does it lift the veil of secrecy, but if Russia decided to sell the secret information to terrorists or rogue states, attacks could follow. This is a disgrace.

In short, it is reprehensible appeasement favoring one brand of Islamists who are threatened by another brand of Islamists.During the previous Bush Administration, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UAE, and other Islamist governments were touted as important "allies" in the war on terror. A very disengenous designation.How are they allies?Technically, the Saudis have the same ultimate global objective as that of Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda:The submission and Islamization of the non-Muslim world. The non-Muslim world regarded by Islamists as the "House of War".To that end, the Saudi government has spent $ billions to build mosques and spread Wahhabi ideology around the world. In America 80%...

Pittsburgh was treated to an impressive show the week of the recent G20 conference. A nice assortment of military choppers of various types and missions, along with odder aircraft difficult both to identify and explain. Both police and the National Guard were out in force, with downtown nearly sealed off. None of this hardware was used against the "3,000 - 4,000" (more like a few hundred) anarchist demonstrators when they turned their righteous wrath on a dozen Starbucks and a Whole Foods store. No serious confrontation was expected and none occurred. Because all of it - the Guard troops, the...

United States feels that Taliban poses a lesser threat to American security than al-Qaeda, the White House said here today, as media reported that the Obama administration has concluded that Taliban cannot be eliminated in Afghanistan. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs sought to make a clear differentiation between Taliban and al-Qaeda as he said al-Qaeda was an "entity that, through a global jihadist network would seek to strike the US homeland". "I think the Taliban are, obviously, exceedingly bad people that have done awful things," Gibbs said. "Their capability is somewhat different, though, on that continuum of transnational threats," he...

Unbelievable, just unbelievable. The nominations were due to the committee on Feb. 1, and the president took office on Jan. 20.

<p>When France chides you for appeasement, you know you're scraping bottom.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is offering Iran "a serious, meaningful dialogue" over its disputed nuclear program, while warning Tehran of grave consequences from a united global front.

DID it surprise a single Post reader that Iran's been hiding a big nu clear weapons development fa cility? It stunned our president when he learned about it months ago. Then he kept it secret from you. Obama didn't want you to know how much progress Iran had made. It's an embarrassment. And it raises the pressure on the White House to act -- something this president's squirming to avoid. But the Iranians have now realized we know, so they tipped it themselves. Obama had no choice but to come clean.

These two clips from Levin’s 1st hour yesterday speak for themselves. The first clip starts with Israel Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s statement to the U.N., after which Mark declares—and I quite agree—that it is Netanyahu, not Obama, who is now the true leader of the free world. It is Netanyahu who sounded like Reagan and Thatcher, and Obama who sounded like Neville Chamberlain. It was Netanyahu, not Obama, who stood up to the personifications of evil that now disgrace the halls of the U.N. Mark said it quite well: Obama should have been the one to give the speech that...
