Obama amputates our nuclear arms
By: Charles Krauthammer
...snippet...
Under President Obama’s new policy, however, if the state that has just attacked us with biological or chemical weapons is “in compliance with the Non-Proliferation Treaty,” explained Gates, then “the U.S. pledges not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against it.”
Imagine the scenario: Hundreds of thousands are lying dead in the streets of Boston after a massive anthrax or nerve gas attack. The president immediately calls in the lawyers to determine whether the attacking state is in compliance with the NPT. If it turns out that the attacker is up-to-date with its latest IAEA inspections, well, it gets immunity from nuclear retaliation. (Our response is then restricted to bullets, bombs and other conventional munitions.)
However, if the lawyers tell the president that the attacking state is NPT noncompliant, we are free to blow the bastards to nuclear kingdom come.
This is quite insane. It’s like saying that if a terrorist deliberately uses his car to mow down a hundred people waiting at a bus stop, the decision as to whether he gets hanged or 100 hours of community service hinges entirely on whether his car had passed emissions inspections.
Apart from being morally bizarre, the Obama policy is strategically loopy. Does anyone believe that North Korea or Iran will be more persuaded to abjure nuclear weapons because they could then carry out a biological or chemical attack on the United States without fear of nuclear retaliation?
The naivete is stunning.

Channel 2 Uncovers Proof Terrorists Crossed Mexican Border
http://www.wsbtv.com/news/25596196/detail.html
Posted: 3:44 pm EDT November 1, 2010Updated: 6:50 pm EDT November 1, 2010
ATLANTA — The U.S. Border Patrol has captured thousands of people they say
are classified as OTM which stands for “other than Mexican.” Documents show
many of them are from terrorists nations like Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan,
Sudan, Somalia, Pakistan and Yemen. Federal authorities call those groups
SIAs, which stands for “special interest aliens”.
Federal officials have offered few details about the number of actual
terrorists caught along the border.
Retired immigration agent Michael Cuttler says the actual threat is being
covered up. “Incredibly the government is attempting to keep the citizens
like a bunch of mushrooms. Keep us in the dark and feed us a bunch of
manure.”
Government officials have denied that terrorists have crossed our open
border. Still, Channel 2 Action News has proof they have. Channel 2 Anchor
Justin Farmer found documents filed in federal court in San Antonio, Texas,
in May. They show an indictment against Ahmed Muhammad Dhakane for allegedly
smuggling hundreds of people from Brazil to Mexico, then into the U.S. The
federal indictment states it includes some Somalis from the terrorist group
Al Shabob. Terrorism experts say the group is responsible for terrorist
attacks and suicide bombings worldwide.
“To this day we do not know where those 300 Somalis are,” said Rep. Michael
McCaul of Texas. “We do know they are in the United States.”
A 2009 Government Accounting Office report confirmed agents have picked up
three known terrorists who crossed the southwestern border of the United
States. No other information was released.

WOODBRIDGE, Va. - FOX 5 has learned of shots fired into a Coast Guard
recruiting office in Woodbridge, Virginia.
It’s unclear exactly when this happened.
Police are on the scene at this time.
The office is close to Potomac Mills Mall.
This makes now the fifth shooting at a military facility since October 17th.
A gunman has twice targeted the Marine Corps Museum near Quantico, Va.,
fired shots once at the Pentagon and once at a Marine recruiting station in
Chantilly, Va.

You paint a real picture, I had not taken my thoughts that far.
I am still wondering why we are there, my husband and brothers fought that in the beginning, so it is time for us to be out of it.
I have never understood, why we take care of the world and do not take care of our own country.

A Somali man suspected of having ties to terrorist groups pleaded guilty
Tuesday to two counts of making false statements on an application for U.S.
asylum, but chose to go to trial on a third charge in San Antonio.
Ahmed Muhammed Dhakane entered the guilty plea at a hearing set for
pre-trial motions.
Dhakane, 24, has been in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement since entering the country through Brownsville in March 2008 and
saying he wanted to seek asylum. He applied for asylum while in custody in
October 2008.

3 San Diego Men Charged With Helping Somali Terror Group
By Amita Sharma

November 2, 2010
A federal grand jury has indicted three San Diego men with providing money
and other support to the Somalia-based terror group al-Shabab. Federal
agents arrested the men this week following a lengthy investigation by the
Joint Terrorism Task Force.
snip
The indictment alleges that Basaaly Saeed Moalin, Mohamed Mohamed Mohamud
and Issa Doreh conspired to provide material support to a terrorist
organization, and also conspired to kill in a foreign country.

[Interesting to me, for I heard a very tired voice on the San Diego Police Scanner, the other night say “We got 3 big ones” and that he was bringing them in, and what paper work he needed, I assumed he was a Fed and it appears that I was right....

Russian police investigation into Wiki-extremism
by Evgeniya Chaykovskaya at 19/10/2010 13:10
The battle against extremism is going back into cyberspace – and this time it’s the Wikipedia empire which is coming under fire.
Russian police are checking out claims that Wikimedia.ru and it’s online library wikiteka.ru are harbouring extremist materials.
snip
In 2007 Russia’s justice ministry created a list of extremist materials which were banned from online distribution. Initially there were just 14 items, but the tally has now reached 706.
snip
Another potentially suspect text is a brochure by a public organisation called Voice of Beslan, Gazeta.ru reported.

Cargo
Airline Sues George Soros For Fraud
Posted: 02 Nov 2010 09:00 AM PDT
A bad week for the financier of American progressive politics got a bit
worse. A North Carolina-based cargo airline claims George Soros and one of
his partners designed “an elaborate shall game intended to defraud,” and are
using it to duck a $39.4 million judgment. The company, Tradewinds Holdings
a subsidiary of Coreolis Holding say they hold a legal judgment against C-S
Aviation Services, and seek to pierce the corporate veil to hold George
Soros and Purnendu Chatterjee responsible.
snip
“In a further effort to defraud creditors, while simultaneously evading
Federal Aviation Administration regulations designed to safeguard national
security, defendants vested bare-bones legal titles to the aircraft which
they controlled through C-S Aviation, in Wells Fargo Bank Northwest,”
according to the complaintNevertheless, Coreolis clams, “All profits from
rental of the aircraft were up-streamed to the defendants.”
snip
Why ‘evade’ the fed regs?
I’m trying to muster up some sympathy for Beverly...wait...
...nope, nothing...oh well
I’d love to see Soros as a cell mate of Madoff.
