"Blaming the Jihad on the Jews"
By P. David Hornik
FrontPageMagazine.com | November 20, 2006
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "On Friday French anti-aircraft units in southern Lebanon readied themselves to shoot down Israeli planes that were flying reconnaissance missions above them. Israel is continuing its overflights of Lebanon to monitor the ongoing influx of weapons to Hizbullah, about which the vaunted, beefed-up UNIFIL force is doing nothing at all. Instead the French contingent, backed by UNIFIL commander Gen. Alain Pellegrini, is warning Israel to stop the overflights or face grave consequences.
Also on Friday France led a different kind of anti-Israeli assault in the UN General Assembly, which voted 156-7 with six abstentions to condemn Israel for the accidental killings in a Gaza artillery strike last November 8.
Haaretz said Israel’s UN ambassador Dan Gillerman told the paper that France “was particularly active in raising the majority at the UN vote, pressuring European nations that considered abstention to support the resolution.” Haaretz quoted Gillerman directly as saying “the French demonstrated excessive eagerness to understand terror while exhibiting utter insensitivity to the pain of [Israeli] terror victims.”
As it worked out, the only Western democracies that voted against were the United States, Israel, and Australia. Canada abstained, and all EU members voted aye to what is essentially a genocidal resolution proclaiming, in effect, that an accident by the Israeli military requires condemnation but hundreds of rocket firings by Palestinians deliberately targeting Israeli civilians do not."

The troops we visited sent a message home.
They wanted the US to know that they want to complete their mission.
They have not asked to be rescued or brought home by the Dems.
They asked that CNN not subscribe to any more snuff films of soldiers being targeted for the benifit of news ratings.
They asked that CNN not report where they are going before they get there.

"Suspect wounded in mall shooting under police guard"
November 20, 2006
ANNAPOLIS (AP) -- ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Police did not release the name of the 18-year-old suspect because detectives have been unable to talk to him and verify his identity.
Police would only say he was from Annapolis and remained in stable condition at the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore.
"We have the shooter guarded at the hospital, and he is going to be in custody," said Officer Sara Schriver, an Anne Arundel County police spokeswoman. "He is going to be charged, so it's not like we have somebody at large." "

"Bush Arrives in Indonesia Amid Raucous Protests"

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/keyword?k=indonesia
(AP) BERLIN At least six people are under investigation in an alleged terrorist plot to blow up a commercial aircraft, German prosecutors said Monday.
The six are believed to have begun preparations for an attack on behalf of "so far unknown" terrorist backers, federal prosecutors said in a statement.
Several of the accused last summer approached a person with security clearance at an unidentified airport, the statement said. That person said he or she was prepared to load a case or bag containing explosives onto a plane in an exchange for an unspecified payment, it added.
Prosecutors said the accused then contacted the plot's alleged backers but were unable to agree on the value of the promised reward. The six were detained on Friday, and five were released Saturday after questioning. The remaining suspect was held in an unrelated matter. Prosecutors said others are suspected of involvement. They gave no information on the six suspects.
Prosecutors said nine apartments in the southwestern states of Rhineland-Palatinate and Hesse were searched.
Good Morning Cindy. I have been keeping up with the mall shooting story, and find it interesting that once again, we have another serious incident where there is no name released on an "adult" suspect. This also peaks my interest because of the location, and time of year. And over the years we have heard on numerous occasions about mall threats here on TM.
Thank you all4one.
I am glad you are keeping up on it, too.
Yep, keywords mall and malls would be good research topics, too.
I'm updating this thread here:

"Ahmadinejad: 'Zionist regime is weak'"
By DPA
TEHERAN, Iran
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Israel would not attack the Islamic Republic as "its regime is weak and it has many problems."
"This is a media war, the Iranian Student's News Agency (ISNA) reported Ahmadinejad as saying. "The Zionist regime is weak. We have faced stronger countries in the past," the Iranian leader said.
Ahmadinejad also said that his country wanted to have 100,000 centrifuges for enriching uranium.
"We intend to have 100,000 centrifuges and, God willing, Iran will be able to meet its needs in nuclear fuel by next year," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying.
The current Iranian year ends on March 20, 2006.
The Iranian president had said last week that Iran intended to launch 60,000 centrifuges in its nuclear program.
Ahmadinejad said earlier Monday that not Iran, but rather the West, which should make concessions in the nuclear dispute."

"Kremlin gave order to kill dissident and former spy, claims top defector"
The Times ^ | November 20th, 2006 | Michael Binyon
Posted on 11/20/2006 4:03:57 AM PST by M. Espinola
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Alexander Litvinenko was poisoned on the direct orders of the Kremlin because of his biting mockery of President Putin, according to a former Soviet spy now living in Britain.
Oleg Gordievsky, the most senior KGB agent to defect to Britain, said that the attempt to kill Mr Litvinenko had been state-sponsored.
It was carried out by a Russian friend and former colleague who had been recruited secretly in prison by the FSB, the successor to the KGB. The Italian who allegedly put poison in Mr Litvinenko’s sushi “had nothing to do with it”.
“Of course it is state-sponsored. He was such an obvious enemy. Only the KGB is able to do this. The poison was very sophisticated. They have done this before — they poisoned Anna Politkovskaya (the campaigning journalist murdered on October 7) on a plane last year. Who else would know where she was sitting and could poison her food? Probably also it was the KGB that shot her.”
Mr Litvinenko, who fled to Britain in 2001, was a target because of the Kremlin fury at his sarcastic attacks on President Putin, Mr Gordievsky said. “There are three people they hate: Boris Berezovsky, Akhmad Zakayev and Sasha (Alexander) Litvinenko, who was writing article after article for the Chechen press, laughing at Putin.”
Mr Gordievsky, a former KGB station head in London, who still refers to the FSB by its former name, insisted that he did not know the identity of the Russian would-be killer.
But he assumed that the man was a former associate of Boris Berezovsky, the former oligarch and Yeltsin confidant, who has been granted political asylum in Britain.
“He used to be in Mr Berezovsky’s entourage and was imprisoned in Moscow. Then suddenly he was released, and soon after that he became a businessman and a millionaire. It is all very suspicious. But the KGB has recruited agents in prisons and camps since the 1930s. That is how they work.”
The man came to London, posing as a businessman and a friend. He met Mr Litvinenko at a hotel and put poison in his tea. That was before Mr Litvinenko had lunch at a Japanese restaurant with the Italian he knew as Mario, who had arranged to meet him because he said he had information about the murder of Ms Politkovskaya, a close friend.
“Why should this Italian do it? I know him. He is a solid, respectable man. And Sasha was already feeling unwell before the lunch. He was poisoned before he met the Italian.”
Mario Scaramella, a consultant for a commission investigating FSB activities in Italy, was last night reported to be in protective custody “terrified for his life”.
Mr Gordievsky is a close friend of the victim, who lived in North London and regularly visited Mr Gordievsky’s house in Godalming, Surrey. Talking exclusively to The Times, he painted a sad picture of the former lieutenant-colonel in the FSB. “He is rather lonely, like me. But he has a tremendous respect for me, as a British agent. He used to report to me, asking for my advice.
“He said Britain was a solid, intelligent and beautiful state, with no corruption as in Russia, and he was very dedicated to it.”
Mr Gordievsky said he could not go into the details of why Mr Litvinenko had agreed to meet his would-be killer. “His wife, Marina is reluctant to speak about it. It is all very hurtful, as he was a former friend. But now all that has been left to the police, and they have told his family not to talk about it.”
According to Mr Gordievsky, Mr Litvinenko began to feel ill that evening. His wife called an ambulance. The crew thought that he had food poisoning and give him pills.
But his condition deteriorated so the next morning they called an ambulance again. “It was only on the tenth day in hospital that the doctors realised it was not food poisoning. When his hair began to fall out they did toxicology tests, and found that his body contained three times the fatal dose of thallium,” he said. Mr Litvinenko lives close to Mr Zakayev, a close friend who suspected poisoning. It was Mr Zakayev who put the details of the case on the internet, Mr Gordievsky said.
Why did it take so long to report the poisoning to the police? “Because British doctors are not familiar with such poisons. He went to the doctor, who gave him antibiotics. His wife and son kept telling the doctor that he had been poisoned, but the doctor said it was just a reaction to the antibiotics. But now he has had very good treatment for the past three days in the hospital.”
John Henry, a clinical toxicologist who examined Mr Litvinenko on Saturday, said that the former spy was quite seriously sick. “There’s no doubt that he’s been poisoned by thallium, and it probably dates back to November 1, when he first started to get ill,” he told the BBC.
Mr Gordievsky said those planning the murder would have to have had permission from the top.
Mr Litvinenko fled to Britain after being imprisoned for a second time. In May 2005 The Times reported how someone pushed a pram containing petrol bombs at the front door of his London home. The attempted assassination left him “shaken but unhurt”.
Mr Gordievsky said he was fourth — now third — on the Kremlin hitlist. The KGB had not been able to reach Boris Berezovsky as he was always surrounded by bodyguards.
Mr Zakayev, the Chechen actor whom Moscow wants to extradite on terrorism charges, had no protection at home, Mr Gordievsky said, but was protected by Mr Berezovsky’s bodyguards when he went out.
What about Mr Gordievsky’s own safety? “What can I do? They can always get me by shooting. But this is a small community in this country. We look after each other. So probably that is my only hope.”
