SAUDI ARABIA'S FIRST ENGLISH LANGUAGE DAILY

  Powell leaves humiliated

Egypt rejects Bush’s demand
CAIRO, 18 April — Egypt rejected an appeal by US President George W.

Sharon rejects Abdullah peace plan
OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, 18 April — Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has categorically rejected the Saudi-initiated Middle East peace plan, Israeli TV and radio said.

There is an impending Palestinian Holocaust
Strange rhetoric, strange logic, strange politics are coming from American and Israeli officials and media. Palestinians are told again and again: “You must submit; you must be passive; you must suffer dishonor and disgrace but neve r resist or resort to war; be bullied, be outraged, be killed, but don’t...   (full story).

On the left, there is Charles Krauthammer

Huh?

[Oldeconomybuyer]

It's pretty clear that Nadeem hasn't a clue who Charles Krauthammer is.

[tomahawk]

Sean Hannity is not a ring-wing extremist. But Saudi Arabia is a terrorist state.

[tomahawk]

Oops, meant to say "right-wing"

[MTRatt]

People like Hannity, Cohen, and Friedman are the reason that Americans — despite having bankrolled decades of Israeli aggression with their tax dollars — remain woefully uninformed about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Well then Nadeem, please inform us.

I always try to see both sides of a story, but I haven't heard one logical explaination of the benefits of suicide bombing. I'm all ears.

[KC_Conspirator]

This filth printed by Nadeem whats his name only proves that it may be time to deal with the other terrorist state - Saudi Arabia.

[MNnice]

The guy lost all credibility when he wrote "On the left, there is Charles Krauthammer."

[hellinahandcart]

Seaan's going to be tickled pink to hear he's way right of Charles Krauthammer. I will be sure to catch his show this afternoon, it should be a hoot.

[mattdono]

Sean Hannity, the right-wing extremist

Extremist? Hmmm, I have never thought of Sean that way...but I like it. Go get 'em, Sean!

[Wphile]

Nadeem hasn't a clue...

You got that right!

[JimSEA]

Now...Now. If the fact don't fit we can just chang them, can't we. This article fits with the "fuzzy math" of Usama's latest tape. ;-0

[TLBSHOW]

Islam is a false religion, cult like and filled with Terrorist killers that want to kill everyone that does to bow down to their false lies, and hate.

[week 71]

American media are a disgraceful proof of that. Far from considering America’s support for Israel for the Sept. 11 attacks, or fearing that further support will bring more attacks, Americans are now spasmodically hardened to the Palestinians.

Maybe it is because thousands of Palestinians and millions of Arabs were dancing in the street throwing a party because some of your own attacked America.

[Dems_R_Losers]

Very amusing. Clearly the Arab/Palestinian strategy has backfired. Repeated suicide bombings, especially on Passover and in an Arab-owned cafe, were a bad PR move, especially after Sept. 11. All they have done is made Sharon the most popular politician in Israel and the U.S., certainly not what they intended. Before the bombings they had a pretty good shot at keeping the U.S. neutral and keeping Sharon on the hot seat at home. Now even the most dovish Israelis are backing Sharon, 100,000 Americans have marched on Washington on a week's notice in support of Israel, and liberal mouthpieces like Richard Cohen are backing Israel all the way. Hardly an outcome worth sacrificing your teenagers for.

[crystalk]

Who is this Nadeem Khan anyway? It says he is "US Based," isn't it about time to end that by deporting him?

[America's Resolve]

his barely elected and mandateless presidency

Thank you American Left!

[Walkin Man]

Far from considering America’s support for Israel for the Sept. 11 attacks, or fearing that further support will bring more attacks, Americans are now spasmodically hardened to the Palestinians.

It took a masterful coordinated campaign by both the conservatives and the liberals to make this happen.

Gee, I guess the sight of all those Pali *astards dancing in the streets and passing out candy and treats on Sept 11, celebrating the deaths of 3000 innocent Americans had nothing to do with it. Also the pictures of a 5 year old little girl with fake TNT strapped to her tiny body by her "loving" pali daddy has no bearing on how the American public views these nazi animals!
