the muzzies are lining up to have their butts osculated in a demonstration of american capitulation which obama would gladly and skillfully perform
What is to the right of "ultra-conservative"? It certainly isn't "neo-con".
Obama: “If you don’t think my Hamas endorsement is good enough, I also boast a nice endorsement from the Tehran Times!”
Ping for later.
Per Wikipedia:
“On the night of September 30, 1965, six of Indonesia’s top anti-communist generals were kidnapped, killed and thrown down a well at Lubang Buaya (literally translated : Crocodile Dungeons) Area, East Jakarta. One survivor, the staunchly anti-communist General Abdul Haris Nasution, escaped the murder plot, but lost his youngest daughter, Ade Irma Suryani Nasution, and his aide-de-camp, Lieutenant Pierre Tendean. The events and supposed coup plotters of that night are referred to as “G30S/PKI,” an abbreviation of “Gerakan 30 September,” or “the September 30th Movement.”
“Major General Suharto, commander of the Army’s strategic reserves cracked down on the Communist Party. The army encouraged anti-communist organizations and individuals to join in killing anyone suspected of being a communist sympathizer. The killings were concentrated in Sumatra, East Java and Bali and were largely over by early 1966. Estimates of those killed in the purge range from 78,000 to over 1 million, with most estimates agreeing that at least half a million were killed.[11] The ethnic Chinese were also targeted, primarily for economic and racial reasons. The embassy of the PRC [Peoples Republic of China] was overrun by demonstrators and looted.”
“An official CIA report called the purge “one of the worst mass murders of the 20th century.”2 American diplomats 25 years later revealed that they had compiled lists of Indonesian “communist operatives” and had turned over as many as 5,000 names to the Indonesian military.[12]”
“Sukarno’s grip on power was weakened by the crisis, while Suharto used the situation to strengthen his own hand. On March 11, 1966, Suharto and his supporters in the military forced Sukarno to issue a Presidential Order called Supersemar (Surat Perintah Sebelas Maret — The March 11 Order), in which Sukarno gave orders to Suharto only to restore peace and order, not to transfer of power to him. After obtaining the Presidential Order, Suharto had the PKI declared illegal and the party was abolished. He also arrested many high ranking officials that were loyal to Sukarno on the charge of being PKI members and/or sympathizers, further reducing Sukarno’s political power and influence.”
“In 1991 a government minister admitted that the national archives only possessed a copy of this letter, and in 1992 another government minister called for whoever is in possession of the original document to submit it to the national archives. However, there is testimony from several eyewitnesses who claim that such a document did exist and that the copy in the archives is a faithful reproduction of the original.”
“Sukarno was stripped of his presidential title by Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat (Provisional Peoples Representative Assembly) on March 12, 1967, led by his former ally, Nasution, and remained under house arrest until his death at age 69 in Jakarta in 1970. He was buried in Blitar, East Java, Indonesia. In recent decades, his grave has been a significant venue in the network of places that Javanese visit on ziarah and for some is of equal significance to those of the Wali Songo.”
“While the semi-official version of the events of 1965-1966 claims that the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) ordered the murders of the six generals, others blame Sukarno, and still others believe Suharto orchestrated the assassinations to remove potential rivals for the presidency.[13]”
Note: Sukarno was diagnosed with kidney disease on Aug.9, 1965.
Neither Sukarno nor Suharto were nice people. I really don’t see how the U.S. and the CIA can be blamed for all this carnage. Sounds like ancient grudges IMHO
I agree, with more of the same. Obama just as elitist as Clinton or McCain.
I wonder if the Obama campaign contacted the Tehran Times seeking an endorsement like John Kerry’s campaign did in ‘04? Obama probably didn’t need to (not that Kerry needed to either).
Another ringing endorsement for the Big O from the newspaper of record in Tehran.
a vote for b. HUSSEIN in november will ensure the new spring clothes fashions will include burkhas and turbins!!!!
that WILL reshape US foreign and domestic policy!!!
I will pull the lever for McCain when he moves to the right and only then.
Even now he is only interested in himself, he is providing no leadership for the party. Anything a conservative does McStupid hammers them.
Jonathan Steele, a well known small ‘c’ communist and rabid America-hater, endorses obama....what a surprise.
