Pelosi and Ellison to visit Syria

Leading a group of lawmakers on a 9 day Mideast tour is Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.

The White House criticised the group's planned stop in Syria, a country the US government accuses of sponsoring terrorism.
'That's a really bad idea,' White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.

Also in the group is Keith Ellison, Muslim congressman and Nation of Islam supporter from Minnesotastan.

They plan to visit Syria, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia during the tour, Ellison's office said. Details were being kept secret for security reasons, it said.

Security reasons? Are they afraid that the military defunding they just attempted to impose will make them more vulnerable in the mideast? Seems to be a stand-off between the Dems who loaded an emergency funding bill for the military with pork and an arbitrary deadline for withdrawal, and GWB, who says he will veto it.
So Pelosi and friends decide to face down GWB all the way from Syria, a state sponsor of terrorism? How appropriate. Maybe they would like to volunteer to go to Iran where they would be hailed as western heroes. Maybe even stay for a while, visit and have tea with the British Navy prisoners who are now in Day 8 of the newest Iranian hostage crisis?

The Dem Pork machine abandons our troops

President Bush warns Dems to stop making political statements with the emergency military spending bill and to support the troops.
"...too much pork, too many conditions, and an arbitrary timetable for withdrawal."



"If congress fails to support our troops on the front lines, the American people will know who to hold accountable."

United Nations sanctions on Iran

IAEA Cuts Iran Aid Projects by Half
"The United Nations nuclear agency has suspended nearly half of its technical aid projects to Iran.
A review disclosed Friday by the International Atomic Energy Agency found that almost half of its 55 projects with Iran would be affected. The agency is trying to comply with U.N. sanctions placed on Tehran, because of its refusal to suspend uranium enrichment..."





Why only Half? UN sanctions are regularly ignored by some of the member countries. When the UN can't get its own agencies to fully comply with sanctions, it shows the mounting irrelevance of the United Nations. Mad Maumoud is smiling. And still building his little mushroom cloud jihad.

"There is a public relations benefit for the insurgents"...

Washington Prowler
CNN Terrorist Outreach

SNIPER NETWORK NEWS
Much has been written about CNN's decision last week to run portions of a video provided to the news network via a group identified by CNN as "the Islamic Army of Iraq."
This video, shot by the insurgent groups as propaganda for the Muslim world as well as a recruiting tool for a number of Islamo-fascist websites, showed terrorist snipers attacking American soldiers in Iraq.
According to CNN, the video was provided after a producer for CNN sent the group an email asking about its activities.
"I think the American public would be interested in exactly what the email contained, at least from the CNN side of things," says a producer for a rival news network, who was made aware of the video's existence before it aired. "My understanding is that email sent by CNN could not be construed any other way than as supportive of the Islamic militants' position in Iraq. There are people inside CNN who are disgusted by their colleagues' activities in Iraq and here in the United States in covering the war."
Attempts to get a copy of the email were unsuccessful. But one CNN source familiar with the techniques employed by network producers to get the Islamic extremist perspective says that it's common for producers to use Iraqi or Muslim contract employees to get information and access to the terrorists, and they do so by claiming sympathy or support for what the terrorists are doing.
"Anti-Americanism pays off for us over there, no doubt about it," says the CNN employee. "Questions were raised about this video and the way we got it. Once it was confirmed that it was real, the next question was how did we get it. And the answer was, we promised to give the terrorists a fair shake. I know that we are saying there was soul-searching here about running the tape. But I didn't see much of that. There were somber people here, but there was also a segment of people on staff, once the tape had run and created a firestorm, that celebrated. They thought they were so courageous."
A former CNN news employee says that at that network there is a decidedly anti-war approach to what they do. "It might not be so clear from some of our anchors, but there are people here who direct the news operation who are very comfortable giving aide and comfort to the enemy. They wouldn't call it that, but I would."

How can the CNN apologists defend this?

CNN is outlet for AlQueda snuff film

Day by Day Cartoon

CNN joins NYT as one of the leading domestic traitor organizations.
Was the story/propaganda snuff film just handed to them, or did they sanction and contract for the footage? Either way, they seem to be Anti-American traitors. Airing the enemy's propaganda is giving aid and comfort. Commissioning the video is simply criminal.

Intolerant, Violent, Easily Offended

"Anyone who describes Islam as a religion as intolerant encourages violence" - Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam.
Is there some kind of language mixup here? What a crock.

"...Muslim anger grows at Pope speech
Hardly a news story is it? Muslims offended. Is there anything that doesn’t offend Muslims?..." read more at InHocSigno

"The pope's words have caused a deep wound in the hearts of Muslims that won't heal for a long time, and then only after a clear apology to Muslims," Egypt's religious affairs minister, Mahmoud Hamdi Zaqzouq, wrote in a column in the government daily Al-Ahram on Monday.

Ask Americans, New Yorkers in particular about the deep 9/11 wound in their hearts, Mahmoud. I think many would tell you exactly where you could stuff an apology.



This is one of the cartoons that freaked out the Muslim world enough to cause riots. Is this is a stable, peaceful religion? Say what you will about the Pope, but he found an appropriate 600 year old quote that still describes Islam, as represented by Islamo Fascists of the present day.

Muslims Fume Over Pope's Remarks
Is this different than the "invitation" to become Muslim from Azziz the American? It seems like a lot different approach than the kidnappers of the Fox News reporter and cameraman used. No gun to the head to convert, just an invitation to think.

Speaking of guns and thinking...
Tamara K. has the right attitude.
"I ain't goin' out like that. Whether it's some Columbine wannabe who's heard the backward-masked messages on his Marilyn Manson discs, distressed daytrader off his Prozac, homegrown Hadji sympathetic with his oppressed brothers in Baghdad, or a bugnuts whackjob picking up Robert Frost quotes transmitted from Langley on the fillings in his molars, I am going to do my level best to smoke that goblin before my carcass goes on the pile. I am not going to go out curled into a fetal ball and praying for help that won't arrive in time."
And Marko says,
"...A tangential argument for gun control is that gun crime will decrease when the number of guns available to citizens decreases. However, recent experience with country-wide "gun-free zones" (the UK comes to mind) has shown that truly dedicated criminals will always find a way to obtain firearms. Draconian gun laws not only make it even more desirable for Bad People to get guns (because they can be guaranteed that the gun gives them disproportionate power in a disarmed society), but they also shift the balance of power in society unilaterally towards those armed criminals. In other words, more gun control does indeed equal fewer guns in the hands of citizens, but those fewer guns are all concentrated in the hands of bad folks, whereas the law-abiding good folks have no effective way of fighting back..."

Chicago comes to my mind before the UK, but otherwise how can you dispute that Solid Logic?

Al Qaeda #2 captured

Washington Post story...
BAGHDAD, Sept. 3
Iraqi armed forces have arrested the No. 2 leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, the country's national security leader said Sunday.
The leader, Hamed Jumaa Faris Juri al-Saaydi, was captured within the past few days near Baqubah, along with 20 other senior members of the Sunni Arab insurgent group, which was responsible for savage beheadings of kidnapped foreigners and suicide attacks that sometimes killed dozens of civilians in a single strike, said the security adviser, Mowaffak al-Rubaie.
Saaydi, also known as Abu Humam or Abu Rana, ordered the February attack on the golden-domed Shiite shrine in Samara that ignited the ongoing ferocious wave of sectarian killings..."

One of the keys to the above story, beyond the fact that it was the #2 guy who was captured, but that the Iraqi armed forces conducted the operation. They had great support I'm sure. Hamed is also said to be giving up his accomplices to the Iraqi forces and has led to 20 more terrorists captured.

Not A Time To Run From Danger -- by Steve Darnell
"...Warfare has become a politically correct popularity contest, where the rules of engagement are written by the New York Times and public opinion, not the armies involved in the war. Of course, if Hezbollah, Hamas or other terrorist organizations are killing civilians, the rules of engagement are thrown out the window and public opinion is somehow on their side. Israel was taught this lesson during its war with Hezbollah.
Liberals and the mainstream media try to convince Americans on a daily basis that President Bush’s sinking popularity at home and around the world has somehow diminished his effectiveness. Their propaganda seems to be working. Many Americans now question the president’s direction in the war on terror, and his poll numbers are down.
President Bush should not be concerned with his popularity, and he never has been. It is a simple fact of life that the most productive person in the room is normally the most unpopular. Hard-chargers, like the president, who step on toes while getting tasks accomplished are not usually very popular people, but they get the job done. Winston Churchill is a prime example..."
