Khalid Sheikh O'Donnell

 
"We welcome Rosie O'Donnell to stay among us and to get to know the truth from being here," says Ala Senakreh, West Bank Chief of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terrorist organization, to journalist Aaron Klein, author of "Schmoozing with Terrorists.". The organization is a group of Palestinian terrorists that claims to have killed hundreds of Israelis in multiple suicide bombings since 2000.

Rosie is the noted nutjob who believes that "radical Christianity" is the equal of radical Islam and that the World Trade Center was brought down by explosives. The most unfortunate aspect of Rosie's life is that such a raving moonbat -- with only a 9th grade diploma -- received a national forum for her views.

You trust me! You really, really trust me!

 
Courtesy of Powerline, BIGresearch surveyed Americans about the "trustworthiness" of various institutions.


Click to zoom

Congress and the mainstream media trail bloggers. And everyone trails President Bush.

If I'm reading this correctly, Americans trust me more than Maureen Dowd, Dick Durbin, Bob Herbert, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Frank Rich. With all due humility, I believe I am more trustworthy than that sorry lot. But then again, they've set the bar lower than the closing seconds of a game of limbo.

Hillary's National Security Adviser is a Convicted Thief

 
Surprise!


"Excuse me, Mr. Berger! What's that you're carrying out?"

The mainstream media hasn't noticed one of Hillary's key national security advisers, Sandy Berger.

The more experienced Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, has relied largely on her husband and a triumvirate of senior officials from his presidency—former secretary of state Madeleine Albright, former U.N. ambassador Richard Holbrooke and former national-security adviser Sandy Berger (who tries to keep a low profile after pleading guilty in 2005 to misdemeanor charges of taking classified material without authorization).

That Hillary would name an admitted thief like Berger to this position says all you need to know about the Democrats and national security.

America ‘has lost the peace’

 
Don Surber has a must-read op-ed in the Charleston Daily Mail (the link is to his old blog, which is an archive for these pieces):

THE people in the Time-Life publishing empire dispatched one of America’s great novelists to the battlefield a year after the war ended. He found broken infrastructure, a huge black market and anti-Americanism at every corner.

Oh, and the French press hated us.

The year is 1946, not 2007. The place is Europe, not Iraq.

But the same defeatist attitude prevailed... And the French press still hate us.

Wrote John Dos Passos: “Never has American prestige in Europe been lower. People never tire of telling you of the ignorance and rowdyism of American troops, of our misunderstanding of European conditions... They say that the theft and sale of Army supplies by our troops is the basis of their black market. They blame us for the corruption and disorganization of UNRRA... They blame us for the fumbling timidity of our negotiations with the Soviet Union. They tell us that our mechanical de-nazification policy in Germany is producing results opposite to those we planned... ‘Have you no statesmen in America?’ they ask.”

...“The Russians at least are carrying out a logical plan for extending their system of control at whatever cost. The British show signs of recovering their good sense and their innate human decency... All we have brought to Europe so far is confusion backed up by a drumhead regime of military courts. We have swept away Hitlerism, but a great many Europeans feel that the cure has been worse than the disease.”

Reading the piece gave me one of those head-clearing laughs. This unintentionally funny piece put in perspective just how predictable the Fifth Columnists are in America... Dos Passos died in 1970. But his words of 1946 reflect the left’s agenda of 2007..."

Read it all.

This looks like a must-see

 
Unfortunately, I don't get Truther TV on my cable system, so I'll have to miss out on the latest Bush-Zioneocon-Halliburton-Steel-Melting scandal. 42% of Democrats agree with Dr. Rosie O'Duncell, who I believe is a Ph.D. in both Metallurgy and Civil Engineering.

Brave, Brave Sir Biden

 
The New York Daily News reports on a touching gesture by Sheiks in Anbar province:

When members of the government of Anbar Province met with President Bush last week, they presented him with a letter dedicating their success in wiping out Al Qaeda here to the victims of Sept. 11...

The letter, which was obtained by the Daily News, was signed by Anbar Governor Mamoun Sami Rashid, Provincial Council Chairman Abdul-Salam Abdullah, and Sheik Sattar abu Risha, the sheik credited with beginning the Anbar Awakening.

"In the month when the terrorists attacked the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, we dedicate the victory of Anbar Province to the families of the victims who suffered that criminal act," the letter said, which was addressed directly to Bush... "With the help of the president of the United States, we pledge to continue to cooperate and communicate with you to continue to get good results," the letter said...

Last week, Democratic Senator Charles Schumer (L-NY) paid his usual compliments to the troops by calling them incompetent.

The violence in Anbar has gone down despite the surge, not because of the surge. The inability of American soldiers to protect these tribes from Al-Qaeda said to these tribes, "We have to fight Al-Qaeda ourselves." It wasn't that the surge brought peace here. It was that the warlords took peace here, created a temporary peace here.

Not to be outdone, John "Genghis" Kerry issued his own unique slander slant:

It's really important that people in quick visits to Iraq don't get, uh, sidetracked by what's really at stake here. Anbar province is Sunni violence, eh, by Al-Qaeda against -- it was originally Al-Qaeda, and -- and -- and the Sunni sheiks decided they were tired of seeing their daughters raped and their sons beheaded and violence in their villages, so they took advantage of this moment, and they've decided to cooperate with us in order to protect Sunni within their pruh -- essentially Sunni province...

And, in his usual quest for C-SPAN face-time, Slow Joe Biden squeaked out a caustic retort to Gen. Petraeus' testimony -- before he'd even testifed:

I think [Petraeus is] dead, flat, wrong. The fact of the matter is that there is -- that this idea of the security gains that we've made have had no impact on the underlying sectarian dynamic. None! None! Whatsoever.

As all of us know, Biden's qualifications for making these statements include his seemingless endless career on the public dole, including his prestigious service on the Wilmington, Deleware city council.

* * *

Quick quiz. Which doesn't belong?

a) Harry Truman
b) John F. Kennedy
c) Franklin Delano Roosevelt
d) Joe Biden*

* Substitute any of the following -- Durbin, Feinstein, Kennedy, Kerry, Kucinich, Pelosi, Reid, Schumer for Slow Joe Biden -- and repeat test

The mission of the modern Democratic Party? Demoralize and smear the troops -- with plan B out-and-out surrender. That's a platform that should really resonate with the American people in 2008.

Countdown to General George Soros

 
8. Democratic lobbying arm MoveOn:org is funded in large part by foreign billionaire George Soros, who a Democratic Senator calls "so negative, so critical, and so often anti-American."

7. After the 2004 elections, the group's PAC Director said, "...it's our party: we bought it, we own it, and we're going to take it back." And in a recent email to its members, MoveOn.org asked for donations to defeat candidates who do not support surrender to terrorists.

6. The New York Times reports that Democratic leadership aides participate in daily conference calls with MoveOn:org.

5. MoveOn:org runs full-page newspaper ads attacking U.S. generals and troops, including the integrity and honesty of the top mililtary commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, during his testimony before Congress.

4. Democratic leaders respond by saying nothing, thereby tacitly approving of these scurrilous attacks on the U.S. military and its leadership.

3. Harry Reid calls our military "incompetent."

2. Barack Obama says that the U.S. military is "air-raiding villages and killing civilians."

1. Now the Democrats' far left wing funding vehicle, MoveOn:org, proclaims that Gen. Petraeus is "cooking the books" and will "betray us" and the Democrat leadership stays silent.

I'm no sociologist, but there might be a pattern emerging here. Something about George Soros controlling the U.S. military through a proxy called Congressional Democrats, but it's still fuzzy. Perhaps we should just call him General George Soros.

Line o' the day: the Editor/Geniuses

 

It appears we have appointed our worst generals to command forces, and our most gifted and brilliant to edit newspapers. In fact, I discovered by reading newspapers that these editor/geniuses plainly saw all my strategic defects from the start, yet failed to inform me until it was too late.

Accordingly, I am readily willing to yield my command to these obviously superior intellects, and I will, in turn, do my best for the Cause by writing editorials - after the fact.

Hsu's for Hillary!

 
Hillary's webmaster must be on sabbatical. Her Hillraisers website proudly lists Norman Hsu, ex-fugitive, as one of Hillary's top backers.

Call me a dreamer, but maybe one day the press might actually start covering some of the bizarre coincidences involving Hillary. From cattle futures, to the Rose Law firm records, to her brother selling presidential pardons, to the records removed from Vince Foster's office, to the pardon of the FALN terrorists in relation to her run for the Senate, to Travelgate, to the Peter Paul fundraiser, to Cisneros and the Barrett Report, the list just goes on and on.

And this is the Democrats' front-runner. That simple sentence says it all.

Update: Beautiful.


Second update: Michelle Malkin has the dirt on Sammy Rivera, noted "friend of Hillary" and the target of a Federal sting operation that netted 11 Democrats in New Jersey.

Le Monde commemorates 9/11 ahead of time

 
¡No Pasarán! reminds us why we sometimes find ourselves despising the French.

The airplane is labeled "American mortgages" while Cécilia asks, "Should I go to Prada, yes or no?" and Sarkozy responds, "Wait a second, dear."

Last year, the same political cartoonist -- Plantu -- used an identical motif.

Stunning creativity, Plantu. I guess we won't need to read Le Monde next year at this time because we already know what the 'toon will depict.

Larry Craig: what a difference the letter after the name makes!

 
Commenting on the Larry Craig incident, EIB knocks it out of park:

The left in this country, folks, has made it a point to go after the hypocrisy of conservatives and Republicans, not... the behavior. If they go after the behavior, they have to condemn the behavior on their side of the aisle. The whole point of the left is to have no standards, because if you have no standards, you can't be held to any standards...

...if Larry Craig had been a Democrat and liberal, there would be no supposed hypocrisy because Democrats and liberals have no moral standards. If he would have changed parties, why, he'd be in great shape today... This is the logic of the left, and it's studied and it is purposeful. They need this position to defend the reprobates amongst themselves. I don't need to name the reprobates. Why do they defend felons? Why are they trying to get felons the right to vote again?

...If you support the left's agenda then you get away with anything and they will not condemn you. We saw this in the Clinton administration, folks. You had Bill Clinton accused of rape. He was accused of sexual abuse in the oval orifice, all these other things, and the left-wing so-called women's groups are either silent or found ways to defend him...

...You've got Barney Frank; you've got Gerry Studds; you've got Harry Reid; you've got Dianne Feinstein in an area that wasn't even looked into about steering money from her committee in the Senate to businesses that her husband benefits from. Not to mention Leahy, who leaked when he was on the intelligence committee and was forced to resign. If anyone ever convicted of any crime should resign from the Senate, why is Ted Kennedy still there?

Valid questions.

Heck, if Ted Kennedy had just driven a Hydra Spyder, he'd probably have been elected president by now.

Shades of the Sudetenland, 1938

 
Gateway Pundit reports on a story I haven't seen from any mainstream media source. Iran's mullahs appear to be mulling an annexation of Bahrain. For those unfamiliar with the landscape of the Middle East, Bahrain is a sovereign country. They have also threatened the United Arab Emirates with -- in short -- a hostile takeover.

Furthermore, they have provided arms, training, and personnel to terrorists in Iraq and have sworn to do even more "to fill the gap" should the United States leave. Iran's track record isn't a good one, considering we've been at war since 1979 when they invaded our sovereign territory, the U.S. embassy in Tehran. The mullahs' record includes:

* Promising the destruction of "Anglo-Saxon" civilization (i.e., the United States and the U.K.)
* Committing to the destruction of the state of Israel ("disgraceful blot" that should be "wiped off the face of the earth")
* Funding Hezbollah and a multitude of other terrorist organizations, while acting as the world's leading clearinghouse of terrorism
* Building nuclear weapons in direct violation of UN resolutions
* Abusing women, homosexuals, minorities, and other groups using torture, hangings, floggings, beheadings, and similar crimes against humanity.

But to the nutroots and other victims of Bush Derangement Syndrome, George W. Bush is the only enemy worth discussing. One can only pray it doesn't take another conflagration on American soil to bring the left wing of the Democratic party back to reality.

The New York Times knows how to write good

 
James Taranto throws a fifteen-yard flag for metaphor abuse on the New York Times' op-ed hacks.

The Republican Party is in quite a rush to keelhaul Senator Larry Craig for his run-in with the vice squad in an airport men's room. . . . No similar leadership chorus for judgment has been heard about any number of other scandalous revelations on the party's plate. . . . Being stupid as a member of Congress is hardly a reason to be ridden on a rail from Washington. But Republican presidential campaigners are urging Mr. Craig to resign fast as a swift boat.

. . . Underlying the hurry to disown the senator, of course, is the party's brutal agenda of trumpeting the gay-marriage issue. To the extent Senator Craig, a stalwart in the family values caucus, might morph into a blatant hypocrite before the voters' eyes, he reflects on the party's record in demonizing homosexuality. The rush to cast him out betrays the party's intolerance, which is on display for the public in all of its ugliness.

I hate to admit it, but I'm stumped. I can't even add any snark to that egregious mess. It's horizontally integrated satire.

Al Gore's global warming "consensus" spontaneously combusts

 
The U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works has published some fascinating articles on climate change, though to read the daily newspaper you'd never know it.

A July 2007 review of 539 abstracts in peer-reviewed scientific journals over the last three years reveals a "shift toward the views of global warming skeptics."

For the journal Energy and Environment, author Michael Asher submitted additional detail that blows the lid off Al Gore's "consensus view" on anthropogenic (human causation of) global warming.

...In 2004, history professor Naomi Oreskes performed a survey of research papers on climate change. Examining peer-reviewed papers published on the ISI Web of Science database from 1993 to 2003, she found a majority supported the "consensus view," defined as humans were having at least some effect on global climate change. Oreskes' work has been repeatedly cited, but as some of its data is now nearly 15 years old, its conclusions are becoming somewhat dated...

Researcher Dr. Klaus-Martin Schulte used the same database and search terms and examined papers from 2004 through February 2007. The results are stunning:

* Of 528 papers on climate change, only 38 (7%) gave an explicit endorsement of anthropogenic global warming (AGW)
* 32 papers (6%) reject AGW outright
* 48% refuse to accept or reject AGW, i.e., take no position for or against
* Only one paper speculates that AGW could lead to catastrophic results

The figures are even more surprising when we consider how AGW is defined for the purpose of this reporting. In this context, supporting AGW requires that:

* Humans need not be the primary cause of warming (i.e., they can have "any" impact whatsoever)
* No belief or support for "catastrophic" warming is necessary

Why then would Schulte's survey contradict the UN's IPCC 2007 Report, which gave a "90% likely" figure for AGW?

Simple. Despite the media's breathless exhortations that "thousands of scientists" are involved in the IPCC report, the reality is that the text is actually written by a small number of "lead authors." Furthermore, the executive summary -- the portion most frequently quoted in the mainstream media -- is written by politicians and approved by political operatives from member nations.

By IPCC policy, the individual report chapters -- the only text actually written by scientists -- are edited to "ensure compliance" with the summary, which is typically published months before the actual report itself... By contrast, the ISI Web of Science database covers 8,700 journals and publications, including every leading scientific journal in the world.

In short, scientists are offering a very different consensus than that which is marketed by Al Gore and the United Nations.

Is that because Al Gore and the UN stand to make billions from 'carbon trading markets', which have spun up from the IPCC to take financial advantage of various hysterical AGW pronouncements?

The World Rainforest Movement -- a very left-leaning organization -- investigated these bizarre financial ties and came to a shocking conclusion.

[they] concluded that the IPCC report "must now be shelved due to their clear conflict of interest and a new report instigated which will be free of the taint of intellectual corruption."

And solar energy portal Ecotopia reports that members of the IPCC "...had vested interests in reaching unrealistically and unjustifiably optimistic conclusions about the possibility of compensating for emissions with trees... [and] should have been automatically disqualified from serving on an intergovernmental panel charged with investigating impartially the feasibility and benefits of such... projects."

In short, the IPCC had an inherent conflict of interest.

As for Al Gore's vaunted "consensus view"? It seems to have spontaneously combusted, perhaps due to all of the desert-hot wind emanating from greedy politicians.

A North American city screeches to a halt

 
Imagine one of North America's largest cities brought to its knees as two of its central roadways are shut down. A perimeter is established around a suspect site where a rental car is examined.

Bomb squad technicians guide a robot to the car's trunk. When the trunk is opened, three live explosive devices -- each nearly two feet long -- are found.

The explosives are loaded into a armored vehicle. Bridges over a normally busy highway are sealed off. A massive convoy of police and bomb-squad vehicles transports the three live bombs

The bombs are gingerly driven to a deserted area and detonated in a controlled explosion that can be heard more than a mile away.

A man -- a Lebanese immigrant named Adel Mohamed Arnaout -- is arrested for a series of letter bombings and attempted murder.

Police search the Ashdale Avenue basement apartment of suspect Adel Arnaout. He is accused of three counts of attempted murder and sending three letter bombs. A neighbor claims that as many as 20 or 30 people were living in the apartment at a time. Neighbors are shocked and stunned.

* * *

Do you think all of this might make a newsworthy story? One that our beloved mainstream media could cover?

Well, apparently not. All of this occurred in Toronto on Friday.

Maybe someone will alert the media so their crack reporters can get on the case. They'll fire up their typewriters and print an extra afternoon edition. Get their fingers dirty with typewriter ribbons and cigarette stains while working the phones. Yell questions at police spokesmen. Demand answers and break stories, scooping their competition.

Or not.

Seattle PI: Robert Jamieson's Republic of Stupidity

 
It's official: Seattle residents live in a republic of stupidity, otherwise known as the circulation area of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. First, the paper refused to honor the FBI's request to publish photos of two suspicious ferry passengers. Then, columnist Robert L. Jamieson Jr. -- who must be the toast of the town -- hammered the Feds on Tuesday for "inflaming fears" over the mysterious Seattle pair.

IT'S OFFICIAL: We live in a republic of fear...

Photos, which spread across the city and state last week, showed two Middle Eastern-looking men accused of seeming suspicious on state ferries... A ferry crew member (who took the photos) and the FBI (which released them) didn't lose sleep over the guilt or innocence of the men in the snapshots... And why should they? The authorities had fear as an ally. They blithely enlisted a fearful public to do their bidding -- to be dutiful patriots and report them.

The two men in question could have been innocents on vacation. Or they could have been mistaken for another pair of dark-complexioned guys seen wandering ferries...

It's obvious that Robert sorely needs some background on this case. So I dashed off a quick note and gave him some data he probably overlooked, what with how difficult Google is to use and all.

Robert,

How many Muslim-Americans do you think take the ferries? Two? And both were unfairly targeted by the FBI?

This pair was identified on six different runs, they repeatedly attempted to gain access to secure areas, took pictures of bulkheads and other elements of the structure and employees, and -- in general -- acted like terrorists who were preparing for an attack.

And, let me guess, you'd be the first person to pillory the Feds had a ferry gone up in a fiery explosion and killed scores of innocents. Brilliant work, Robert, I'm sure the Pulitzer committee will be calling momentarily.

Counter-terrorism Blog: FBI and Department of Homeland Security sources tell me they're concerned about a strange incident in Washington state they fear may indicate terrorists are casing ferries for attacks. The FBI's Seattle division this week made the extremely rare move -- with full approval of the bureau's counterterrorism division in D.C. -- of releasing photos of two men who allegedly have been spotted on up to six different ferry runs...

The pair, who have not yet been identified or apprehended for questioning, tried to access restricted areas on the ferries, which haul 26 million people a year [and] that the suspects were "taking photographs of doors not seabirds..."

...sources say that the suspicious actions of the men... is disquieting because of the present heightened threat this summer and the unresolved question of who the men are and why they were trying to photograph the ferries' inner workings and procedures. The case has risen to the top of daily intel briefings in recent days, including at the FBI field office in New York, a source said...

Is it true that the only living creatures dumber than left-wing op-ed hacks like Jamieson and Maureen Dowd are moonbats like Michael Moore and Sean Penn? It's a close call, to be sure, but with this pathetic excretion, Jamieson's going for Hollywood-class stupidity.

The Politico's Ben Smith rewrites history for Hillary

 
The Politico's Ben Smith has transformed himself into a world-class dissembler with his latest defense of the Clintons in the Hsu affair.

So is the Hsu story more sinister because Norman Hsu, the controversial donor, is Chinese-American, born in Hong Kong?

...But the Republican National Committee has been pushing this angle pretty hard, and apparently attempting to revive the — never proven — allegations of a Chinese "spy ring" buying its way into the 1996 Clinton campaign. ...This morning, [the RNC] e-mailed [a] transcript of an interview between the Wall Street Journal's John Fund and Alan Colmes:

Fund: "But I think we need to learn more. And I think we need to have Mr. Hsu found. [ed.- I've seen nothing to suggest he's hiding.] After all, there's a warrant out for his arrest on grand theft. And he should be brought in and should be asked a lot of questions about a lot of things." ...

Colmes: "But you want to pin this on Hillary Clinton because of his behavior?"

Fund: "No. No, no. The only concern with the Clinton campaign is we have seen strange campaign contribution scandals before. The 1996 campaign saw 120 people connected to the Clinton fundraising efforts either flee the country to avoid questioning or plead the Fifth Amendment. ... I'm simply saying the Clintonites should have learned from that 1996 thing."

Colmes: "First of all, you don't know that they didn't. You don't know they didn't. You want to go back John Huang. You want to go back to what happened in 1996 with Bill Clinton ... And then you want to use that to overlay that on Hillary Clinton, and presume that there's some malfeasance here because of what might have happened 10 years ago." ...

Fund: "[T]he same finance people who worked in the Clinton campaign in 1996 are running Hillary's campaign. The same people, Alan. Terry McAuliffe."

Nothing conclusive came out of those 1990s investigations.


Oh, really, Ben? May I remind you of... (cue the ominous music)

The strange case of Bill Clinton and the Chinese Military

On 9/13/1995, President Clinton met with John Huang and James Riady (pictured below). During the meeting, Huang expressed an interest in becoming a fund-raiser for the Democratic National Committee.

In this position at the DNC, Huang raised $3.4 million. The DNC was later forced to return nearly $2 million when a Congressional investigation revealed "problems" with the source of the funds. Huang was later convicted of crimes related to illegally reimbursing campaign contributions with Asian funds. Riady was also convicted of related campaign finance crimes. A U.S. Senate campaign finance report stated that Riady had a, "long-term relationship with... Chinese intelligence."

On 3/14/1996, President Clinton signed an order transferring license-granting authority for military/industrial technology from the State Department to the Commerce Department. This order made it easier for the Chinese military (the PLA) to launch American satellites, over objections from the Pentagon and the State Department. During the Clinton administration, focused Chinese espionage efforts made significant headway in the theft of U.S. military/industrial secrets including those concerning nuclear weaponry.

On 5/25/1999, the U.S. House of Representatives released the Cox Report ("Report of the Select Committee on U.S. National Security and Military/Commercial Concerns with the People's Republic of China"), which detailed publicly for the first time China's espionage campaign against the United States. The report was a redacted version of a still-classified report. Approximately 30% of the original report, the unanimous product of a bi-partisan committee, remains classified.

Those are the facts, Ben. Oh, and by the way, if you're so convinced of the Clintons' innocence in these matters, why not demand the full disclosure of the Cox Report and the Barrett Report? The latter is reputed to be chock-full of interesting disclosures and was censored by the Clintons' law firm. But I'm sure it's "nothing conclusive."

The fatally wounded mainstream media

 
In an exquisitely referenced post, Protein Wisdom describes a world of propaganda, sloppy reporting, willful omissions, and flat out lies. In other words, the landscape in which our current mainstream media operates. Don't miss it (hat tip: LGF).

It makes me want to submit a question to the GOP candidates for the Fox debate:

Abraham Lincoln once said, "Whoever can change public opinion, can change the government." Today's mainstream media controls public opinion to a great extent -- and votes with the party of weakness 90% of the time. How, then, can America win any war, no matter how important, when the media is invested in anti-war propaganda and -- ultimately -- defeat?

Line o' the day: Tobin eviscerates Amanpour

 
Jonathan Tobin, reviewing CNN's moral equivalence film festival -- "God's religious warriors" -- hosted by Christine Amanpour:

Though present-day Jews and Christians are not all saints, there is no getting around the fact that neither of those religions has sprouted a contemporary movement aimed at world domination to be achieved by terror and war.
