UPDATE 1-23 prisoners escape in restive Iraqi city of Mosul
You are right, the only redeeming factor is, they are keeping their hands off of guns.
Many things have changed in the 20 years that I’ve lived here.
The day of reckoning is at hand!
BAGHDAD The killers came at night, speaking passable English and wearing uniforms and carrying weapons that resembled those of the American military. By the time they left the village of Hawr Rajab on Friday evening, they had fatally shot or slit the throats of 25 members of an extended family, Iraqi officials said Saturday, in a chilling episode of violence reminiscent of the worst days of the countrys sectarian warfare in 2006 and 2007.
Most of the 19 male victims were members of Iraqi security forces or of Awakening Councils, groups that now partner with American forces and are employed by the Iraqi government to protect Sunni neighborhoods, but whose members had once been allied with Sunni extremist groups like Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia during fighting against American troops.
Members of Awakening Councils are often branded by Al Qaeda as traitors, but their families have typically not been attacked. The Iraqi authorities said 25 people had been arrested as part of the investigation into the killings, including some who lived near the families.
Hawr Rajab, located just south of Baghdad, was a heavily contested site between Al Qaeda and American and Awakening forces but has been calmer in recent years.
At Mahmudiya Hospital, 25 coffins arrived on a truck Saturday morning for the victims, who ranged in age from teenagers to men in their 70s.
Family members, men standing separate from women, waited outside the hospital, stunned by what had happened.
Luyai Khadum said he had lost his father and four brothers.
They were all killed, he said. I lost five family members. We are a Dulaimi family, so why would they do this to us?
Often, a mention of the familys influential tribe, the Dulaimi, is enough to protect them. This time it was no help.
Capt. Jay Ostrich, a spokesman for the United States military in Iraq, expressed condolences to the victims families and said American forces were prepared to aid in the investigation if the Iraqi government asked.
********************
While abu fiddles, Iraq returns to what it was before we ever got there. Silence from the US on this uptick in sectarian violence in Iraq has been deafening. The waste of all the lives we lost, and the human cost to all the Wounded Warriors who lived through trying to bring freedom to a perpetually unfree muslim nation by their OWN choice, is a sin more vast than any I can imagine.
It has always been my contention that ANY nation state who chooses islam as their governing doctrine, has chosen slavery of its own accord and there was NEVER, and never WILL be, any way to "give" them freedom.
The cost of this lesson will haunt the American conscience for generations...if we do not learn from this mistake.
There is no freedom in islam. No one outside islam can mandate it, nor offer it. It is an impossible task...one that is even now being repeated in Afghanistan.
Pray for our troops. Our government has no soul nor conscience. NO ONE is speaking up or speaking out.
islam is an atrocity. It is the absolute desecration of humanity. It is the very essence of the purist of evils on earth, and WE are being led into it with nary a wimper.
May GOD have mercy on us all.

EDL Protest Today Against Islamic Supremacism and Sharia in the UK
VIDEO:UAF Fascists Disrupt EDL Anti-Islamisation Protest in Dudley, Seven Arrested
Today the EDL staged a peaceful protest against islamic supremacism in Dudley (UK). And, true to form, the left fascists and the Muslims showed up to disrupt, agitate and engage in modern low-grade civil war. And that’s what this is. A war against the west.
Amen MM!
You are right: May God have mercy on all of us!
Sighing here. Sometimes we just have to sit back and take a breather - it's all happening far too fast these days. Wonder if the "torturing equipment referenced in the link below is meant for law enforcement in Mexico which could be a mixed bag in and of itself - or if it is going to cartels?)
Torturing Equipment sent to Mexico
We have evidence that the Czech Republic has sent torturing implements to Mexico that is prohibited by the European Union, said Mike Lewis, who covers the commercial traffic in torturing instruments for the European Union, in a publication by Amnesty International and the Omega Research Foundation. We were not able to identify the destination in Mexico or the exact Czech Agency that sent the instruments, but we do know that the recipients are the Mexican Police and the Mexican Armed Forces to be used in inflicting torture, said the official. Among the items sent to Mexico are thumb cuffs and high voltage stun guns according to Lewis. These are serious violations of individual rights said Lewis.
US docs' ads target expectant Mexican moms
Snips: TUCSON - "Do you want to have your baby in the United States?"
That query flashes on two digital billboards south of the border as northbound shoppers and tourists wait in line to enter Arizona.
One of two obstetricians from Nogales, Ariz., who advertises maternity services on the billboards, said it's a way to promote the superior service, not U.S. citizenship rights that are granted to children born on U.S. soil.
International Brridge blockaded in Reynosa
Snip: Streets leading to the International Bridge (Pharr, Texas) were blocked in Northern Reynosa by unknown people from a criminal organization using buses and trucks for over two hours. Reynosa police notified Pharr police and both sides remained on alert for whatever might happen.
A national Hispanic civil rights group on Tuesday sued Ohio to try to block the state from enforcing a new vehicle registration law that requires proof of United States residency.

Sometimes, it gets harder and harder to just breathe. The air is filled with evil. It permeates every nook and cranny of the world’s structure. There seems to be nowhere left to turn except to ask for G-d’s mercy. But as bad as it gets, still we try to find the light in this darkness.
I am a little overwhelmed right now. If I stop, I think too much. So I don’t usually stop because then I feel helpless and it is the worst feeling in the world.
Fight on.
You have mail.
I’ve been sighing a lot these days, MamaDearest. When is enough really going to be ENOUGH? Life can be hard and then we have a gov’t that goes out of it’s way to make it harder!
The obstetricians that advertise in Nogales, AZ should be thankful they’re out of Sheriff Joe’s jurisdiction. He wouldn’t put up with that crap.
Ditto every word you wrote. Prayer sustains us. It is now truly now a time of battle - good against evil. Evil is overwhelming nations worldwide and it's no different here. From the indoctrination (brainwashing) of small children under the guise of "education" to "death panels" coded in healthcare plans, from Jihadis and drug cartels to politicians worldwide with agendas designed to control people in an Orwellian* manner, it requires prayer and due diligence.
*The adjective "Orwellian" describes the situation, idea, or societal condition that George Orwell identified as being destructive to the welfare of a free society. It connotes an attitude and a policy of control by propaganda, surveillance, misinformation, denial of truth, and manipulation of the past,
The political manipulation of language, by obfuscation........... Using language to obfuscate meaning or to reduce and eliminate ideas and their meanings that are deemed dangerous to its authority.
Invasion of personal privacy, either directly physically or indirectly by surveillance.
State control of its citizens' daily life, as in a "Big Brother" society.
Official encouragement of policies contributing to the socio-economic disintegration of the family.
The substitution of traditional religion[citation needed] with the adoration of state leaders and their Party.
The encouragement of "doublethink," whereby the population must learn to embrace inconsistent concepts without dissent, e.g. giving up liberty for freedom. Similar terms used, are "doublespeak", and "newspeak"
The revision of history in the favour of the State's interpretation of it.
The most common sense of Orwellian is that of the all-controlling "Big Brother" state, used to negatively describe a situation in which a Big Brother authority figure in concert with "thought police" constantly monitors the population to detect betrayal via "improper" thoughts. Orwellian also describes oppressive political ideas and the use of euphemistic political language in public discourse to camouflage morally outrageous ideas and actions. In this latter sense, the term is often used as a means of attacking an opponent in political debate, by branding his or her policies as Orwellian.
You're absolutely correct about that. We work hard as parents to teach our children right from wrong, yet our government ignores laws on the books and ENABLES criminals to enter our land (and yes, I do mean criminals - just look at weekly border patrol reports - a significant portion of those arrested are CRIMINALS who have already been deported, some repeatedly).
If government WILL NOT enforce own laws, how is anyone to respect government? They cannot say they cannot afford more border patrol agents to enforce the borders properly as they expediously are hiring a HUGE number of IRS agents to go after AMERICAN citizens who do not pony up Obamacare taxes. Keeping illegal aliens out of the USA will save states billions of dollars in education, welfare, medical and incarceration dollars.
Muslim Parishes in Russia again refusing to register
An increasing number of Russias Muslim parishes are electing not to register with the Russian government as the law requires or to subordinate themselves to any MSD, thus making their activities far more autonomous and effectively recreating the Soviet-era division between official and unofficial Islam.
Thailand child sex ring run by monk busted in Chaing Mai
A duo of Buddhist monk and a private citizen have been accused of pandering to paedolphiles in Chiang Mai, running a child-sex ring. The monk would apparently go out into the hinterland, in mufti, to procure young boys, who were then brought back to the city, seduced and provided for the delectation of foreign perverts.
Snips: In a stunning and historic reversal of American foreign policy, the United States is now backing one of the same horses it fought during World War II. Instead of fighting against Nazism and racism, Obama has effectively joined the jihad waged during World War II by the Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini.
The Muslims are free to live in Israel, but Jews cannot live among Muslims or in Muslim lands. This is what America is standing up for?
Amnesty International condones jihad?
People used to accuse Amnesty International of being pro-jihadi for their attacks on the interrogation and detention policies of the US regarding captured terrorists, which most passed off as hyperbole. As it turns out, though, AI appears pretty comfortable partnering with jihadis, as long as AI considers them defensive terrorists:
Amnesty International comes out of the closet - endorses "Defensive" jihad
Snip: That Islamists reserve unto themselves the right to determine when Islam is, as they put it, "under siege," and when, therefore, forcible jihad is justified, is plainly of no concern only actions America's self-defense are worthy of condemnation.
March 30, 2010: The United States government officially handed over a new, upgraded bio-safety level 2+ laboratory to the Minister of Health, Dr. Henry Madzorera. The facility will enhance the capacity of the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare to offer clinical and diagnostic testing as well as research on indigenous/exotic agents which may cause serious disease after inhalation, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB),typhoid (Salmonella Typhi),anthrax (Bacillus anthracis) and the H1N1 virus........
Agency seeks return of emergency alert radios given to residents near Pine Bluff Arsenal
Residents in Grant and Jefferson counties will have to return emergency alert radios that were distributed to give early warning in case of a chemical weapons accident at the Pine Bluff Arsenal. The arsenal has completed destruction of nerve agents and is nearing full destruction of mustard gas-related weaponry. When the work is done later this year, officials will ask for the radios back.
Man exposed to mustard agent at Umatilla chemical depot
Snips: Early test results are in and leaders from the Umatilla Chemical Depot do in fact believe a worker was exposed to mustard agent........About two weeks ago, a worker developed a blister on his skin, which is one of the symptoms........The man's name has not been released. He also hasn't missed any work as a result of the exposure.
'Terrorist attack' on Las Vegas canceled - politics over preparedness?
Snips: Sen. Harry Reid (D) of Nevada, in the midst of battling for the White House's healthcare reforms, wrote late last year that to "simulate a nuclear detonation in the heart of the city would unacceptably harm the Southern Nevadan economy."
Canceling the Vegas exercise "just plays into the narrative ... that the public cannot handle any discussion of serious potential terror threats," writes John Solomon, a blogger who says he's writing a book about emergency preparedness. "As a result, it prevents our leaders from having an open dialogue which might actually improve our ability to respond." But the president's supporters, including those deep inside the nation's emergency preparedness ranks, say the Obama White House may be shifting away from large-scale "open book" tests, practiced during President Bush's tenure, and toward "no-notice," or secretly planned, tests that thrust emergency managers into unexpected, sink-or-swim scenarios.
MTA cuts weekend surveillance at vulnerable Verrazano Bridge, Queens-Midtown Tunnel
It's eyes wide shut at two of the city's main bridges and tunnels. The MTA has removed weekend security details from the Queens Midtown Tunnel and the Verrazano Bridge, the Daily News learned Monday, just as the Moscow bombers sent New York into a new round of terror jitters.
All interesting.
Thank you MamaDearest for the ping.
Thanks Cindy.
The Hezb al-Islam group, which controls patches of the war-riven Somali capital, said playing music on radio stations was evil. "We call on the local radio stations to stop broadcasting the songs and all music as well. We give them a 10-day deadline and any radio station found not complying with the orders... will face sharia action," said Moalim Hashi Mohamed Farah, a senior Hezb al-Islam official, referring to Islamic law.
TX students want 'Our Lord' removed from diplomas
Some Trinity University students want the San Antonio school to drop the words "Our Lord" from their diplomas saying the reference doesn't respect the diversity of religions on campus.
Sidra Qureshi, a Muslim student and president of Trinity Diversity Connection, tells the San Antonio Express-News that the wording should be tweaked. The student government agrees, and school trustees are expected to consider the request in May.
