JUST AS BRITIAN WAS ABOUT TO GO WOBBLY. ... So now Al Queda has put the proverbial turd in the punch bowl at the G8 party. I guess global warming isn't as significant as some want it to be -- at least not compared to the innocent slaughter or human beings. I hope that this cowardle act will serve as a wake-up call to all of our European friends (and the NYT) that that the number one priority of the Free World is terrorism and radical Islam. Why don't we get it -- this is a war against our way...

RIYADH/JEDDAH, 29 June 2005 — Saudi Arabia yesterday issued a new list of 36 suspects believed to be linked to a series of terror attacks across the country, reflecting the government’s resolve to go ahead with its anti-terror campaign. In the latest response to a two-year campaign of bombings and killings by supporters of the Al-Qaeda terror network, the Interior Ministry broadcast pictures of the suspects on state television and offered hefty rewards for their capture. “Security authorities managed to uncover plans by the deviant group who used themselves as a tool to distort Islam and harm the security of...

Syria's Assets in Swiss Banks Have Dropped 39 Percent in Year, Report Indicates The Associated Press Published: Jun 21, 2005 BERN, Switzerland (AP) - Syrian assets held by Swiss banks dropped 5.5 billion Swiss francs ($4.3 billion) during the past year, according to statistics released Tuesday. The 39 percent drop was unexplained, but it could reflect sanctions imposed in May 2004 by the United States, which accuses the Middle Eastern country of supporting terrorism and undermining efforts to stabilize Iraq. The sanctions restrict the dealings U.S.-based banks can have with their Syrian counterparts. Major Swiss banks, which have extensive operations...

The Islamist fundamentalist movement Hamas said...

Bush to Steer More Aid Directly to Palestinian Authority as Abbas Visits WashingtonBy Lara Sukhtian Associated Press Writer Published: May 25, 2005 WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush plans to steer more money directly to the Palestinian Authority, congressional aides and a Bush administration official said Wednesday as Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas began three days of meetings with White House officials and congressional leaders. Most U.S. aid to the Palestinians has previously gone to private relief organizations out of concerns about corruption under the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Abbas wants aid funneled to the authority, which he heads, as a...

Law and order is currently running a major propaganda story on the detention of terrorists. The first episode with Chris Noth turns out to be a bleeding heart slant on the treatment of terrorist. Totally disgusting.

Matthias Döpfner, Chief Executive of German publisher Axel Springer AG, has written a blistering attack in the daily WELT against the cowardice of Europe in the face of the Islamic threat. Hartmut Lau translated the article for us. A few days ago Henryk M. Broder wrote in Welt am Sonntag, "Europe – your family name is appeasement." It’s a phrase you can’t get out of your head because it’s so terribly true. Appeasement cost millions of Jews and non-Jews their lives as England and France, allies at the time, negotiated and hesitated too long before they noticed that Hitler had...

Laurie Mylroie Ms. Mylroie was adviser on Iraq to the 1992 presidential campaign of Mr. Clinton. Her most recent book is “Bush vs. the Beltway: How the CIA and the State Department Tried to Stop the War on Terror” (HarperCollins, 2003). The claim of the 9/11 commission that “no credible” evidence exists linking Iraq to Al Qaeda’s assaults on America, including the attack of September 11, 2001, is itself not credible. Iraq was almost certainly directly involved in those attacks. After 1996, when Osama bin Laden moved from Sudan to Afghanistan, Iraqi intelligence became an integral part of Al Qaeda,...

AP Exclusive: Precursor of Database Project Gave Feds 120,000 SuspectsBy Brian Bergstein The Associated Press Published: May 20, 2004 NEW YORK (AP) - Before helping to launch the criminal information project known as Matrix, a database contractor gave U.S. and Florida authorities the names of 120,000 people who showed a statistical likelihood of being terrorists - sparking some investigations and arrests. The "high terrorism factor" scoring system also became a key selling point for the involvement of the database company, Seisint Inc., in the Matrix project. Public records obtained by The Associated Press from several states show that Justice Department...

Sept. 11 will act like a third convention for Republicans Since 1960, each political party has realized an average bounce in the polls of 10 points after its party convention. Frequently, these gains cancel one another out, but sometimes one party gains more than the other and takes an augmented stature into the general election campaign. In 1992, for example, the Republicans got almost no gain from their convention while the Democrats moved up 10 points, setting the stage for Bill Clinton’s victory. During the next election cycle, the GOP’s gain was the expected 10 points, but Clinton moved...

Tom Brokaw was playing government watchdog the other night, interviewing Condoleezza Rice right in the middle of the "NBC Nightly News." Now the evening anchors almost never do interviews during their newscasts, so you have to assume that Brokaw had something very important to ask. But how could you take Brokaw’s questioning seriously after watching him swallow whole Richard Clarke’s rotten-egg notion that fighting terrorism was Job One in the Clinton years? The Brokaw transcript read like this: "Mr. Clarke said today that terrorism was the highest priority of the Clinton administration. It was important to you, but it was...

Spain's voters carried a monumental burden into their polling stations yesterday. In two very different districts of Madrid, one working class and the site of one of Thursday's explosions, the other extremely affluent and loyal to the conservative government, people spoke passionately about the new moral international dimensions to what had, until four days earlier, seemed a humdrum election. In El Pozo, where one of the trains exploded, the Socialist Party was expecting its usual landslide victory. Many in the neighbourhood had lost friends or family in the explosion. "The government is to blame for the attacks," said Tamara Pizarro,...

Various Democrats took to the internet on Sunday cheering the defeat of the party of Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar in the general elections. Several congratulated the Spanish people for what they saw as a justified rejection of the war on terror. Exit polls from the election showed vast numbers of the electorate blaming the terrorist attack in Madrid on Spain's support of President Bush's position on Iraq. Prime Minister Aznar is one of Bush's strongest allies, and Spain is one of the few countries that contributed significantly to the military effort in Iraq. One Democrat writing in an...

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Two American Muslims who tried to join the Taliban were sentenced to 18 years in prison Monday during a hearing in which they denounced the Bush administration and pleaded in song for freedom. Patrice Lumumba Ford, 32, and Jeffrey Leon Battle, 33, had pleaded guilty in October to conspiracy to levy war against the United States. Both said that in trying to reach Afghanistan, they were fulfilling their Islamic duty to defend fellow Muslims. "The attack on Afghanistan killed and maimed thousands of people without achieving its objective," said Ford, who had traveled to China...

WASHINGTON, Oct 10 (Reuters) - There is a "high likelihood" within the coming year of a deliberate attack or accidental outbreak in the U.S. food supply that sickens a large number of people, the Food and Drug Administration (News - Websites) said on Friday. Although no specific threats were identified, the FDA said it came to the conclusion because of recent foodborne outbreaks and recent reports that al Qaeda was plotting to poison the food supply. "FDA has concluded that there is a high likelihood, over the course of a year, that a significant number of people will be affected...

MAGGIE'S MAULING FOR BLAIR Sep 21 2003 By Chris Mclaughlin MARGARET Thatcher has savagely undermined Tony Blair's case for war against Iraq. In her first reported comment on the conflict, the Tory leader who took Britain to victory in the 1982 Falkland Conflict, has told friends that the war against Iraq was a "mistake". Baroness Thatcher has warned that British troops could be tied up in a mission without end for years. "Britain should never have been involved and it will be very difficult to get our troops out in anything like the near future," she told Tory peers at...

WASHINGTON - In the past few weeks, I have spoken with a number of politically experienced Democrats. The two questions I've asked them: "What do you think of President Bush's chances in 2004, and why?" Publicly, they would state Mr. Bush is in trouble. But privately, to a person, they say the election is all but over, and he will win. Their rationale, pure and simple, is terrorism. These Democrats know the American people believe that Mr. Bush can protect them against terrorism better and more forcefully than the Democrats, and that protecting the homeland trumps economic issues or any...
