Cheney warns of new attacks

Former Vice President Dick Cheney warned that there is a “high probability” that terrorists will attempt a catastrophic nuclear or biological attack in coming years, and said he fears the Obama administration’s policies will make it more likely the attempt will succeed.

In an interview Tuesday with Politico, Cheney unyieldingly defended the Bush administration’s support for the Guantanamo Bay prison and coercive interrogation of terrorism suspects.

And he asserted that President Obama will either backtrack on his stated intentions to end those policies or put the country at risk in ways more severe than most Americans — and, he charged, many members of Obama’s own team — understand.

“When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry,” Cheney said.

Note the classic disruptor tactics: When the guy with the baby said "M'am" the disruptor said "sir" right afterwards, repeatedly.

The guy with the baby was having trouble putting his thoughts into words, and the interruption was messing him up. (Give him a few years with kids and he'll be able to compose music in a pep-rally).

It let the CNN *&6&*@ cut away and stuff the rest of the sound byte with her blather and never really give anyone time to talk, even though it looked like she had.

Was that planned? Who knows?

That is the type of crap the rest of the crowd has to watch out for when someone from our side is at the mike.

Al Qaeda Calls for Attack on Jerusalem

While the eyes of the world are focused on the Durban II racism conference in Geneva, the international al-Qaeda terrorist organization issued a new call for an attack on Israel.

The deputy al-Qaeda leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, urged the group’s Iraqi followers to sneak the borders and “liberate” Jerusalem in a new recording posted on the As-Sahab terrorist internet website on Monday.....

N. Korea says S. Korea moved border marker in ‘serious military provocation’

SEOUL, April 22 (Yonhap) — North Korea claimed Wednesday that South Korea has arbitrarily moved a military demarcation line marker in a “serious military provocation” violating the armistice of the Korean War.

South Korea’s army “recently moved Marker No. 0768 of the Military Demarcation Line (MDL) in the eastern sector of the front dozens of meters close to the area of the DPRK (North Korea) side,” the North’s official Korean Central News Agency said.

“This serious military provocation is a wanton violation of the Armistice Agreement and a deliberate and premeditated action to escalate tension in the areas along the MDL,” it said.

The report demanded South Korea immediately retrieve the marker.

“Should it do (sic) not accept the just demand of the DPRK, the latter will take a measure for self-defense and the south Korean warmongers will be held entirely accountable for all the ensuing consequences,” it said. . .

U.S. general: U.S. forces fully prepared against attack on S. Korea

The U.S. Forces in South Korea are fully prepared for any contingency on the Korean Peninsula, the U.S. commander said Wednesday.

The U.S. Forces in South Korea are prepared to “fight and win,” as they already “have operational plans prepared in order to be able to meet any contingencies,” said Gen. Walter Sharp, commander of the U.S. Forces in South Korea, at an address at the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry, warning that Seoul, about 50 km away from the inter-Korean border, bears a geographical risk to a sudden attack from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK).

He also emphasized the close ties between United States and South Korean forces would be continued even after the wartime operational control of South Korean troops is transferred to South Korea in 2012.

Tensions on the peninsula have been worsening over the past few weeks as the DPRK warned to take stern countermeasures if South Korea fully participates into the U.S.-led Proliferation Security Initiative.
