Did you see the segment on a nuke hitting Tel Aviv on H&C, the thing about one hitting there is it would kill Jews in the center, but the wind currants would carry it directly over the Arab region and in the end kill more Arabs than Jews.

Chin scars are sexy on a guy....the women will fall all over him.

That is the story I told my son, once upon a time ago..and I am sticking with it...he married a BEAUTY.

[CougarGA7]

True, but remember that the only people that are interested on using a nuke on Israel dont care a lick about the others that may be effected...even their own.

[sofaman]

ther are so many people that don't understand that we are in a war...as much as I hate to admit it, Gingrich is right...we ARE in WW3, and Levin is right, it's against Islamonazis...

Yet there are so many Americans that are prepared to stick their head in the ground, that think that if we ignore the problem, it will go away. I don't understand it..

Btw, good to see you, my FRiend..

Wonderful post.

The UN is a global disgrace when it comes to standing up for the Israeli Jew.

God's chosen people indeed.

Is the rest of the planet insane? What makes people of intelligence arrive at this moral decision when it comes to Israel? Are they crazy to want to see HITLER II?

Remember, we're told the only countries (IN THE WORLD) allied with Israel on this cease fire are Great Britain and the USA.

Because the Middle Eastern children are taught to hate Israel will never be safe.

Add a couple of dangerous religious extremists in charge of countries with nuclear weapons.

That's where we will be very shortly unless somebody acts.

I am so thankful President Bush is our leader today. I hope he goes TEXAS on them.

As an unabashed bushbot I cheer him standing, for having our military right next door to both of them.

A big picture man indeed.

The US presence in Iraq to where we see oursevles today is not cause and effect.

The 2000 withdraw of Israel for Southern Lebanon and the Gaza giveaway have started WWIII. Not overthrowing Saddam.

To have Saddam gone while you're waiting for the turn card is not dumb luck.

Sorry for rambling.

Tx...,hey there kiddo...good to see you. You made me smile, on a night when I don't feel much like smiling.

"He doesn't want to mess with Pell... trust me."

Agree.

from my notes:

"Quiet but controversial

"The cardinal has an impressive biography. He gave up a chance to play professional Australian Rules Football to study for the priesthood.

"A lumbering man with a shy but forceful demeanor, he earned a doctorate in philosophy from Oxford University and had many pastoral assignments in his homeland before being named a bishop in 1987.

"Pell became and archbishop in 1996 and was elevated to cardinal a year ago.

"He is a source of controversy as well. He has refused in Australia to give communion to militant homosexuals.

"He also has been outspoken on pre-marital sex, abortion and contraception, as well as subjects such as euthanasia and illegal drug use.

"His biggest concern, he says, is how "secularism is biting into Catholic practices. The traditional agencies of family, parish and school are not as effective as they once were."

Also:

Democracy must change to counter Islam

Nov 17, 2004

Islam could be the communism of the 21st century if the West does not reform its secular democracy, Australia's leading Catholic has said in a speech in the United States.

A little off topic but. I am looking for a map I have seen posted here a few times. It is a map of the USA with the known(?)Terrorist cells marked on it within each state. I had the map at one time but it has decided to disappear.

[sofaman]

Good post...excellent points made....and Rush is right. There ahs been no greater friend of Israel, than Pres Bush...

[Mr Cobol]

Good to see you also my FRiend.

So correct about how out of touch people are. I went a while to visit daughter and friend and mentioned that Israel had bombed an outpost and killed 4 UN scum.

The guy said "I thought Israel was our friend".

I just said "They are, but the UN isn't". No sense taking it any further.

Some people just don't care what is going on, sad.

The Jihad in America/terrorist cell/state map?

[Fitzcarraldo]

Islamic Terror Network in the US

[sofaman]

Great post....

[Conservababe]

That map is at least five years old and out of date. I would hope to see one showing the cells that have mushroomed lately.

[DocRock]

When he speaks, he should remind Australians that Osama tried to nuke Sydney before he attacked the U.S. on 9/11. During the 2000 Olympics, OBL tried to blow up a nuclear reactor in downtown Sydney. LINK

[Mariner]

While a non nation-state may aquire a nuke, the'll never be in a position to produce one.

The country of origin can be deduced from the remaining isotopes and other forensic evidence.

Any country that gives these crazy bastards a nuke will cease to exist within a few days...couple of weeks at most. Retaliation will be massive...dozens of mega-tons.

[sofaman]

Good Lord! I had no idea..

[Scott from the Left Coast]

so they don't understand that we cannot absorb a nuclear first strike--not even once.

Well, our economy certainly can't withstand even a relatively small nuclear detonation on our home soil. We have an amazing economy, truly robut...but it's also a fickle economy (sort of like a Porsche - fast, powerful, but fickle and prone to mechanical trouble).

Different issue, but that's why Bush is so unnervingly careful about everything from truly going whole-hog after Islamofascism (oil vulnerability) to the southern border with Mexico (our economy's insatiable thirst for more and cheaper labor). It's because he knows the first way to a collapsed presidency is through a crippled, or even damaged, American economy. Our voters will not tolerate it for any significant time. No presidency could survive it politically. So everything he does, every compromise he makes, is to keep the economy humming. It's where America lives -- it's the true third rail of politics.

I know, my friend, it hasn't been a good day. Did you listen to Mark Levin's show??

Did you hear the rabbi from northern Israel call?
