Indonesia. Isn't that where Clinton's buddies are from? Some of the ones who gave him huge contributions, and for whom he locked up the Utah coal so that we had to buy all our clean coal from Indonesia? Seems like Indonesia was in the news all the time when der Slickmeister was head dog.

Before 9-11 there were plenty of signs of things to come yet the public, by and large, ignored them. The attacks on the USS Cole and the embassies in Africa just seemed so far away and raised very few eyebrows here. This attack in Bali should further our resolve. And, in a just world would bring many more nations to our side in this battle. Sadly, it won't.

Yes, I noticed how extensive the blast area was- that was a big, powerful bomb.

Oh, yes! Alamo-Girl's site has stories about the clintons, Indonesia, and the Chinese going back ( IIRC ) to the mid-1970's. Ditto the coal stuff- I've posted a number of links & stories about it. We used to call such things "corruption..."

I disagree. We are now in World War III.

I take it you mean you disagree with my use of the word "battle", and not with my saying that not many more nations will join us.

I used the word battle, but "World War III" is fine with me. But, in this war we have few allies willing to put up.

Yep. I know some will quibble over whether it's III or IV, but the point is, we are locked in a life or death fight with radical Islam.

All the pretty, moderate talk from politicians can't disguise that simple, stark fact.

The vicious attacks on civillians we have seen in Israel ( not to mention Finland... ) will come home to us unless we hammer those SOB's and those who harbor them.

From the article you referenced: "Islamic clerics put love spells on Balinese women to fall in love with Muslims, and Balinese holy men rub the affected in pigs’ blood to undo the spell. The Balinese holy men often use pigs’ blood against the Muslims, and the Muslim holy men chant sentences from the Quran as magic mantras, while clutching a small fetish or two.

Love that pig's blood remedy for Muslim miscreants. We should all keep a few quarts handy.
