The UN Human Rights Council is an oxymoron.

There was a caller on Levin who referred to him (Ahmadinejad) as "Ahmadinehandjob". Mark choked up laughing; so I'll use the initials AHJ or AHJob.

I think you know the answer. It is called profiling, and it is necessary in times of war.

How many folks of German and Japanese ancestry found life difficult in the US during WWII. We did not live in a PC world back then. Now, 60 years later we drive German and Japanese vehicles in the US. We got over it.

If I am living or visiting in another country, I respect that country and it's culture, and it's laws. If I don't, send me back from where I came with a one way ticket. If I am visiting a country with who we are engaged in war, would I expect more freedom than that country's citizens. NO. When in Rome, do as the Romans do mean nothing to this cult.

In his final act as a Navy SEAL, Aviation Ordnanceman 2nd Class (SEAL) Marc A. Lee rained down machine gun fire to help protect several of his teammates before he was felled by enemy fire in Iraq last week. Hat's off to a true HERO! May the perpetual light shine upon him.

Hero? Not according to Brian Williams:

"05:45 Israeli aircraft renew attacks on Beirut`s southern suburb (AP)"

That doesn't sound like a ceasefire to me!

Glad we can agree on something. : )

I'm just mad and on a rant. Tire of all this PC bringing our wonderful country down.

Of course GW set a very unPC example today. Whoever doesn't like what he said can leave, and take their lawyers with them.

Didn't it. Same thing as last night. But the IDF is just waiting until Olmert gives them the go ahead. If the UN security council makes only noises about getting a cease-fire resolution, I can't see the IDF waiting for another few days to a week while on is crafted, especially with rockets continuing to rain down on the country. Olmert has maybe one more chance then he faces a no confidence vote.

"The only thing to do is kill Nasrallah now."

I really hate to be the pessimist about this war between Israel and Hezbollah. But Israel has lost the war. They did not lose because they did not fight valiantly, Nor did they lose because they did not have successful campaigns. They have lost the war for several reasons. The prime reason for losing is the ineffective leadership of Olmert. Olmert was afraid to take action. Then when he started to take action, he got scared and reversed course. This scenario repeated itself so many times in this short conflict that the enemy knew how to manipulate Olmert's proclivities to make Israel appear even weaker. A second reason for having lost the war is the extreme anti-semetic media coverage which colluded with Hezbollah in creating staged massacres. These false reports where repeatedly broadcast to create sentiment against the Israeli attempt to protect the country. Another reason for losing the war is the United States continued association with the United Nations. Attempting to help Israel through UN channels has never worked and, more often, hurts the Israeli cause. And a fourth reason for Israel losing the war is the failure of the United States to stand firmly with Israel and the failure of the US to speak up firmly against those who have been trying to stop Israel from protecting themselves.

Again, I hate to be so pessimistic, but Nazrallah is still alive and is claiming Hezbollah victory while Israel withdraws their troops. This whole episode has set back the WOT at least 50 years.
