Clift scolded the President for "demonizing" Madmood. Charles Krauthammer spanked her but good. Said he is a demon.

"Surprise, Security and the American Experience"

A discussion of the book by that title authored by John Lewis Gaddis.

I just saw Eleanor Clift on FNC, on the net's pre-speech coverage. She should read that book.

I am old enough and do remember.. But I don't consider I'manutjob to be rational as Kruschev, not interested in diplomacy, he IS a terrorist supporter, we ARE in a war with Terrorism, we are not just threatened as back then, but rather we ALREADY have been attacked, civilians are dead, our Troops have been killed, they ARE fighting this very moment and this Iranian Madman should not be disassociated with who and what the troops are fighting. The war has already started..

Unless they bad guys take out the entire east side of Manhatttan they won't get everybody, and since most of the world is governed by mediocracy the damage to the infrastructure of the borough would be far bigger than the damage to world leadership.

I also remember the nuts at the UN allowing the terrorist Arafat to come and speak - and he was allowed to wear his trademark pistol for the entire time...

Question of the day......why is the President speaking this late morning when "nobody" is home......and MadMood is speaking tonight when "everybody" is home?

Dumb logistics move, IMO.

You're right ... Ahneedajihad is not interested in civilized behavior.

As a matter of practicality, I think it's very much to our benefit to let him speak at the UN, very publicly, to demonstrate precisely why he's dangerous.

Apparently, cameras caught "something" floating nearby, they are not sure if it is off of Atlantis or just other space junk. They say they need time to examine to see if it came from the thermal protection system.

HISTORY LESSON: 1999

Bin Laden reportedly leaves Afghanistan, whereabouts unknown

Laden
Taliban authorities did not confirm or deny reports that bin Laden had left Afghanistan  

February 13, 1999

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) -- Osama bin Laden, the Saudi millionaire accused by the United States of plotting bomb attacks on two U.S. embassies in Africa, has left Afghanistan, Afghan sources said Saturday.

Bin Laden's whereabouts were not known, said the sources who declined to be identified.

The report of his departure comes just days after the Taliban Islamic militia, which rules most of Afghanistan, took away his satellite telephone and banned bin Laden from speaking to the media.

Taliban authorities in the militia's southern stronghold of Kandahar refused to either confirm or deny reports that bin Laden had left the country. The Taliban have called bin Laden their honored guest, a friend who helped the Afghan resistance fight invading Soviet soldiers in the 1980s.

The Taliban's ambassador in Islamabad, Saeed-ur-Rehman Haqqani, said he had not been told of bin Laden's departure, "but if it has happened, it will be a good thing."

Saddam Hussein offered asylum

Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has offered asylum to bin Laden, who openly supports Iraq against the Western powers.

Despite repeated demands from Washington, the Taliban refused to hand over bin Laden after the August 7 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, demanding proof of his involvement in terrorist activities.

However, in recent weeks, both the United States and Britain have renewed their pressure on the Taliban to expel bin Laden.

Pakistan, a strong ally of the Taliban and one of only three countries to recognize the movement's control over Afghanistan, also has been asked by the United States to use its influence to have bin Laden expelled from Afghanistan.

"We have been asked, but we can't force the Taliban to do anything they don't want to do," Foreign Minister Sartaj Aziz said last week.

The Taliban did promise that bin Laden would not use Afghanistan as a staging arena for terrorist activities.

Bin Laden came to Afghanistan from Sudan more than five years ago while the Taliban's opposition ruled the country.

Because the UN is pro Iran and will have Mamood address the US in prime time.

The President must tell Iran to cease and desist from nuclear enrichment or prepare for a pre-emptive strike. Anything less is fool hearty. And when Iran refuses, we must strike first and we must deliver a decisive blow. Our lives depend on it. Anyone still in denial is a fool.
