Bump to that RD,The ME is a hellhole except for Israel
Here is an artists rendition of it:
Oh My, the two vids I just posted are all about a history of Israel also, that’s why I thought all would like to see them
And with Hezbollah moving jihadiots into Lebanon in force things are about to get worse.
WOW ... whole lot of flaming tensions.
God help us all.

Obama names special envoy to global Islamic group
More ash kissing? Story is from AP
Same story from Reuters via Haaretz
Obama names Rashad Hussain as envoy to the Muslim world
Funny there is no special envoy to the Hindu world, or the Buddhist World, or even the Christian world. Why not?
And this could have a "bad end" as well
Pakistan court strikes down president's order
(entire story below)
ISLAMABAD Pakistan's Supreme Court suspended the presidential appointment of two top judges in an emergency ruling that could cause a destabilizing clash between the judiciary and the unpopular, Western-backed government.
As local media reported the country was headed into a political and judicial crisis following the decision, President Asif Ali Zardari's spokesman issued a statement dismissing rumors the government was planning to declare a state of emergency.
The development will concern Pakistan's Western allies, who want the country to concentrate on battling al-Qaida and Taliban militants in the northwest. The stability of the nuclear-armed nation is also key to Washington's hopes of defeating the insurgency just across the border in Afghanistan.
If the Islamists take over Pakistan, we won't need to be worrying about any Iranian bombs, which they might get sometime in the future, but we'll need to start worrying Paki bombs, which exist *right now*. India will need to worry more, but India has it's own bombs, more and with better delivery systems than the Paki's have, and can take out Pakistan tomorrow if they wish.
Now here's something, maybe. From Haaretz:
Ex-IDF chief: Israel can't handle nuclear Iran alone
... Halutz's comments came a day before the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States Military was set to arrive in Israel for a meeting with the Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff to discuss the situation in Iran.
U.S. Admiral Mike Mullen is scheduled to meet with IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi as well as Minister of Defense, Ehud Barak, and other senior IDF commanders to discuss joint defense issues between Israel and the U.S. and mutual security concerns.
Admiral Mullen's meetings follow remarks made by the U.S. last week when they called Iran's nuclear intentions "anything but peaceful."
Not as important as it once was. Besides, even for a few more days, the moon sets before sunrise, like about an hour after sunset, give or take. Plenty of time for a nice dark Oh Dark Thirty operation.

Bomb scare closes Fort Worth freeway
http://www.wfaa.com/news/crime/Possible-terror-incident-in-Fort-Worth-84316367.html
This “lady” has a history in the DFW area....also questioned several years back for spending an inordinate amount of time watching aircraft taking off and landing at Love Field as well as the referenced incident with the handgranade.
More on Asma Al-Homsi from the 2007 incident.
Anyway, there are LOTS of Islamists in the Philippines, and the OK City bombing pair, Nichols & McVeigh had connections to people in Manila . . . . but I'm not quite sure if this has any relevance here, particularly due to the Vietnamese connection -- but just in case:
http://wap.inquirer.net/articles/20100130-250374.wml
BACOLOD CITY, PhilippinesSenator Richard Gordon said Saturday the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee will look into the discovery of sacks of a white substance which can be turned into either shabu or explosives that were found in a shipment of rice imported by the National Food Authority from Vietnam.
Gordon, who chairs the committee, said there was something highly suspicious in the discovery of N-methylephedrine, which was later said to be ammonium sulfate, in a shipment of 77,000 bags of NFA rice from Vietnam to Bacolod City as it could be a move to raise funds for the elections.
Gordon, who was in Bacolod City Saturday, did not say who he suspected of raising funds but said a close watch on all large-scale shipments by the government should be closely monitored.
Gordon said local authorities should keep a close watch on the rice shipment that arrived in Bacolod on Tuesday to make sure that the misdeclared items that came with the rice are not switched.
The discovery of the crystalline substance was made by an NFA classifier and a warehouse man on Tuesday, according to NFA provincial manager Pablito Gemarino.
Thank you for posting these. I was disturbed when I read about “ Rashad Hussains peculiar views on Islam and Counterterrorism Policy “. BO’s agenda seems blatantly obvious & I do not know why the world is not standing up & taking notice. In your opinion what direction is he taking?
do you know I did not know he was a Jr.?
