TEL AVIV – There is no moral concern regarding cloning human beings since human embryos, which develop into a baby, are "only a handful of cells," argued President Obama's newly confirmed regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein. "If scientists will be using and cloning embryos only at a very early stage when they are just a handful of cells (say, before they are four days old), there is no good reason for a ban (on cloning)," wrote Sunstein, who was confirmed by the Senate last week as administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. "It is silly to...

OSAMA bin Laden? Oh, yeah. Him. The 9/11 guy. Used to be a terrorist star. Now he's just a has-been hiding in a remote cave or compound, too afraid to appear in a video and unable to command much of anything. He can't even get a 9/11-anniversary audiotape to the media on time. Hope we kill him. Sooner, rather than later. He's still unfinished business. But Osama ain't got the licks he used to have. And he's changing his tune -- in a frantic attempt to get the Muslim world to pay attention again. (It's tough being a has-been, when...

Events are fast pushing Israel toward a pre-emptive military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, probably by next spring. That strike could well fail. Or it could succeed at the price of oil at $300 a barrel, a Middle East war, and American servicemen caught in between. So why is the Obama administration doing everything it can to speed the war process along? At July's G-8 summit in Italy, Iran was given a September deadline to start negotiations over its nuclear programs. Last week, Iran gave its answer: No. Instead, what Tehran offered was a five-page document that was the diplomatic...

THE radical activist group ACORN is the E.F. Hutton of prostitution. It stands ready to provide discreet advice on setting up a brothel and engaging in other associated acts of criminality. When ACORN talks, pimps and hookers listen. This has been established by an audacious video-sting operation undertaken by guerrilla conservative documentarian James O'Keefe, 25, and his sidekick Hannah Giles, 20. O'Keefe posed as a pimp and Giles as a prostitute seeking help getting a mortgage for a brothel. In cities around the country, workers for ACORN -- the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now -- happily obliged.

But, what makes East Asia different is that the Communist leaders were first and foremost, popular national heroes, who, by the above logic and the U.S. decision to support colonial colloborators or participants of past institutions, that happened to choose to be communist. You see, while I'm not exactly writing part IV in this installment, I'm setting the argument up for how economic development, or these so called "miracles" in East Asia seem to keep happening over and over again. Also, it has been pointed out that Mongolia is a state that does not enjoy economic development, which is geographically...

A Somali militia opposed to Islamist insurgents al Shabaab praised a U.S. commando raid that killed one of the region's most wanted al Qaeda suspects and called for more strikes to wipe out foreign jihadists. U.S. special forces in helicopters struck a car in rebel-held southern Somalia on Monday, killing the Kenyan said to have built the truck bomb that claimed 15 lives at an Israeli-owned beach hotel on the Kenyan coast in 2002. "We are very pleased with the helicopters that killed the foreign al Shabaab fighters," Sheikh Abdullahi Sheikh Abu Yussuf, the Ahlu Sunna spokesman, told Reuters late...

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus has been trying for months to write a health care bill that could win Republican support. If he succeeds he may find it's fellow Democrats he has to worry about. Baucus, D-Mont., said Monday that "we're getting very close" to finalizing sweeping health legislation to enact President Barack Obama's priorities of extending coverage to most of the 50 million uninsured and holding down spiraling health care costs. Following weeks of closed-door negotiations with two other Democratic senators and three Republicans, Baucus plans to unveil his bill Wednesday, and he hopes Republicans are with him....

The man who hurled his shoes at President George W. Bush here nearly a year ago in a brazen act that turned the little-known Iraqi journalist into a hero for many in the Arab world and crystallized the seething anger felt by many Iraqis for the consequences of the American invasion, was freed on Tuesday from a Baghdad jail. Muntader al-Zaidi, who had originally been sentenced to three years in prison for assaulting a visiting foreign leader, spent nine months in jail and, according to his brother, would likely leave Iraq now, fearing for his life. “He is free,” said...

Defence Personnel, Materiel and Science Minister Greg Combet said the new terminals would be constructed by defence company BAE Systems at the Australian Defence Satellite and Communications Station near Geraldton, Western Australia.

Senator Lamar Alexander remarked on President Obama's use of czars in his administration: "According to news accounts, there are 32 or 34 so-called czars in the Obama White House. Respected voices in the Senate—Senator Byrd and Senator Hutchison, a senior Democrat and a senior Republican—have pointed out that these czars are an affront to the Constitution. Theyre antidemocratic. They are a poor example of a new era of transparency which was promised to this country. They are a poor way to manage the government and they seem to me to be the principal symptom of this administrations eight-month record of...

French President Nicolas Sarkozy is ready to walk out of next week's G20 summit if no progress is achieved on curbing bankers' bonuses, his chief of staff said Monday. "There must absolutely be an agreement to make things change and the president is absolutely determined on that score," said Claude Gueant, the secretary general of the Elysee, on RTL radio.

Should the Feds Freeze ACORN's Funds???

Illegal Market Manipulation, Felony Insider Trading, Villain, Currency collapses Is it possible to lay the global financial meltdown, the radicalizing of the Democratic Party, and America’s moral decline, at the feet of one man? It is indeed possible. If George Soros isn’t the world’s preeminent “malignant messianic narcissist,” he’ll do until the real thing comes along. Move over, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot. There’s a new kid on the block. What we have in Soros, is a multi-billionaire atheist, with skewed moral values, and a sociopath’s lack of conscience. He considers himself to be a world class philosopher, despises...
