The World Economic Forum in Davos is a sanctuary for America-bashers. John Kerry was the star there yesterday.

In case you missed it, Allah's got video and the lowdown.

All I can say is: Thank God for the Swift Boat Veterans.

Davos is getting feedback. LGF'ers are leading the charge.

Matt at Blackfive notes that while Kerry schmoozed former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami, evidence of Iranian special ops orchestration of the horrific attack on US troops in Kerbala is building.

2/3s of Massachusetts voters are stupid or insane. There is only about 1/3 of us with any brains or sanity.

[girlangler]

Either one would be a nightmare.

Khatami gave a speech at Harvard in which he defended the death penalty for sodomy. The Boston Globe did not even mention that fact. Here Kerry is kissing up to our enemies. The voters in this state make me sick that they keep putting this guy in!

What is the penalty for TREASON?

He deserves it.

[george76]

He should be hung for treason.

If the muzzies win this global war,

then these liberal women will be wearing burkas and they will lose their rights to vote, hold a job, drive a car, go to school...

"Thank God for the Swift Boat Veterans."....Amen. Now we need another swift boat effort to make sure Hilliary doesn't get back in the White House.

She claims she tried to enlist as a WM(arine), but I wouldn't call her a vet. As Hillary's contemporary, age and geography, it really wasn't all that hard to enlist in the late 60s/early 70s. I'm surprised she found it that difficult.

[girlangler]

What I meant was an effort similar to the swift boat effort.

I'd give money to any effort to keep her out of the White House.

Caption: "Ooh Ohh! They are letting me stand next to them and not in the background like those meanies in Washington! Maybe they like me! Hey guys! Will you be my friends!!!??? I can get you lots of free ketchup!!!

[SJackson]

Well, the Republican Party has plenty of money. She's vacant on issues, as she's noted this week, she's off again on a talking tour, to find out what's going on in the country. Senators are isolated, as you know. If only the Republican Party would spend their dollars on the issues that Hillary appears to be clueless on, I might contribute too.

[SJackson]

And of course that was a joke about her "enlistment". If she wanted to enlist, she would have been accepted gladly. Might have come out a lifelong Republican.

Once again Jon Vichy Cary jets off to Europe to schmooze with America's enemies, attack his own country, provide aid and comfort to the people busy killing Americans at this very moment, etc. Is this 1972 or 2007?

Just as Jon Vichy Cary is kissing up to one of Iran's leading Islamo-fascists (oops, I forgot, this is they guy they consider a "reformer" - my bad), it is becoming clear that the attack that killed 5 US soldiers near Karbala was most likely an operation of Iranian special forces:

The Karbala attack and the IRGC

http://billroggio.com/archives/2007/01/the_karbala_attack_a.php

The Iranians may be responsible the conducting the attack that resulted in the murder of five American soldiers in Karbala

On January 20th, a team of twelve men disguised as U.S. soldiers entered the Provincial Joint Coordination Center in Karbala, where U.S. soldiers conducted a meeting with local officials, and attacked and killed five soldiers, and wounded another three. The initial reports indicated the five were killed in the Karbala JCC, however the U.S. military has reported that four of those killed were actually removed from the center, handcuffed, and murdered.

The American Forces Information Service provides the details of the attack in Karbala. Based on the sophisticated nature of the raid, as well as the response, or cryptic non-responses, from multiple military and intelligence sources, this raid appears to have been directed and executed by the Qods Force branch of the Iranian Republican Guard Corps. My sources agreed this is far to sophisticated an operation for the Mahdi Army or Badr Corps, while al-Qaeda in Iraq would have a difficult time mounting such an operation in the Shia south. "The Karbala Government Center raid the other day was a little too professional for JAM [Jaish al-Mahdi, or the Mahdi Army]," according to a military source.

This raid required specific intelligence, in depth training for the agents to pass as American troops, resources to provide for weapons, vehicles, uniforms, identification, radios and other items needed to successfully carry out the mission. Hezbollah's Imad Mugniyah executed a similar attack against Israeli forces on the Lebanese border, which initiated the Hezbollah-Israeli war during the summer of 2006.

The details from the Karbala raid from AFIS:

"The precision of the attack, the equipment used and the possible use of explosives to destroy the military vehicles in the compound suggests that the attack was well rehearsed prior to execution," said Army Lt. Col. Scott Bleichwehl, spokesman for Multinational Division Baghdad. "The attackers went straight to where Americans were located in the provincial government facility, bypassing the Iraqi police in the compound."

At about 5 p.m. that day, a convoy consisting of at least five sport utility vehicles entered the Karbala compound and about 12 armed militants attacked the American troops with rifle fire and hand grenades, officials said.

One soldier was killed and three others wounded by a hand grenade thrown into the center's main office. Other explosions within the compound destroyed three Humvees.

The attackers withdrew with four captured U.S. soldiers and drove out of the Karbala province into the neighboring Babil province. Iraqi police began trailing the assailants after they drew suspicion at a checkpoint.

Three soldiers were found dead and one fatally wounded, along with five abandoned vehicles, near the town of Mahawil. Two were found handcuffed together in the back of one of the vehicles. The other two were found nearby on the ground. One soldier was found alive but died en route to a nearby hospital. All suffered from gunshot wounds.

Also recovered at the site were U.S. Army-type combat uniforms, boots, radios and a non-U.S. made rifle, officials said.

Mahawil is in Babil province, about 27 miles directly east of Karbala [corrected]. While it is impossible to prove, the attackers may have been making a bee-line towards the Iranian border.

The Karbala raid makes sense in light of the U.S. raids on the Iranian diplomatic missions in Baghdad and Irbil, where Iranian Qods Force agents were captured, along with documentation that divulged Iran's involvement with and support of Shia death squads, the Sunni insurgent, and al-Qaeda in Iraq and Ansar al-Sunnah. Five Iranians from the Irbil raid are still in U.S. custody, and captured U.S. soldiers would provide for excellent bargaining chips

IF it is confirmed that Iran's Qods Force was responsible, the news that the United States has authorized the death or captured of Iranian agents inside Iraq, as well as in Afghanistan and Lebanon makes all the more sense.

Did you hear Britt Hume's comment - that Kerry was more a citizen of Switzerland than of the U.S.?
