Base Where Iranians Train Terrorists to Kill Americans RevealedFor over a year, it’s been a well established fact that Iran has been conducting another of their proxy wars against the United States. See this report from February 2007 which details Iran’s involvment and asked: At what point do we show Iran that there IS a price to be paid for killing Americans?
More recently, look at the reports of the Multinational Forces Iraq (U.S. and coalition. There has been no letup in the number of attacks Iran has launched using Shias trained and supplied by Iran. So I ask again: At what point do we show Iran that there IS a price to be paid for killing Americans? Former U.S. Ambassador John Bolton has had enough!
Maybe we should take out Hezbollah too!
Obama - McCain Is Losing His Bearings By Speaking The TruthAt least the McCain camp understands the type of campaign Obama will run this fall. A campaign in which they attack and attack while they call any counterattack “meanspirited and personal.” And don’t forget the race issue which will be brought up by the 527’s….count on it. Any attack against Obama will suddenly be racist. Here is Obama whining about the truth:
Fact:
No way to dispute that Mr. Obama. It’s not a personal attack against you. Just plain ole facts. Kinda surprised the messiah didn’t use his patented “it’s a distraction” statement but its all familiar.
Much more where that comes from so go visit the link. Now this wouldn’t be the first time Obama has mischaracterized McCain’s remarks. Recall the 100 years in Iraq attack. Believe me….there is plenty more where that came from. Either way….Obama is spinning, lying, and mischaracterizing to avoid a debate:

Flight 93 Memorial Blogburst: No More Do-Overs For Terrorist Memorializing ArchitectsDefenders of the crescent design keep accusing Tom Burnett Sr. of trying to get an improper "do over" after failing back in 2005 to sway the design-competition jury. But who is really seeking the do-over? The American people rose up in protest in 2005 when they saw that the Memorial Project wanted to plant a bare naked Islamic crescent and star flag on the flight 93 crash site:  That uproar forced the Memorial Project to agree to redesign the memorial so that it would no longer include Islamic symbol shapes (whether they are intentional or not). But nothing significant was changed. Every particle of the original crescent design remains completely intact in the so-called redesign, which only disguised the original crescent with a few irrelevant trees, placed to the rear of a person facing into the giant crescent. The American people caught a hijacker trying to re-hijack Flight 93, and the Memorial Project told him to go back outside and try again, which is exactly what he did. Now they accuse Tom Burnett of wanting an improper do-over? There were dozens of articles and television segments about the crescent controversy this week, mostly in Pennsylvania, with some national news coverage by Fox News television and AP. This post is an attempt to capture the general thrust of the new wave of position statements. The Memorial Project is inverting every moral imperative at this point, and it all comes from their fervent desire to reverse the results of September 2005. Their embrace of the crescent was rejected by America and they are determined to undo that defeat, to the point of being willfully blind to massive evidence of al Qaeda sympathizing intent. The new face of the Memorial Project: Edward Felt's wife and brother take the lead Sandra Felt, one of the Flight 93 family members who helped select the Crescent of Embrace design, admits that she never paid any attention to warnings about Islamic and terrorist memorializing symbolism in the crescent design:
And nobody blames her. It shouldn’t be on the Flight 93 families to investigate evidence that any one of us can easily fact check. But Sandra and her brother in law Gordon Felt, now President of Families of Flight 93, are going further, pretending for some reason that the charges people have made against architect Paul Murdoch are actually being leveled against them. How could that be, when three of the features that our petition lists as unacceptable–the Mecca orientation of the giant crescent, the 44 glass blocks on the flight path, and the giant Islamic sundial–were not even discovered until after the crescent design was selected? Nobody blames the family members for approving design features they had no inkling were there, yet Gordon Felt says that warnings about the design are “quite hurtful, to think we would want to create a memorial to those who murdered our loved ones.” Nobody ever suggested any such thing, but Felt is getting as much mileage as he can out of this excuse NOT to look at the facts, telling Fox News television:
This after expressing his anger at Tom Burnett last week for Tom’s failure to submit to the Memorial Project’s “democratic process.” Tom lost the jury vote, so in Felt’s view, he is apparently supposed to shut up now. Strange view of democracy. Along with Patrick White (brother of Louis Nacke II), Gordon Felt sees Mr. Burnett as trying to get an improper “do over” by raising all these new concerns. Presented with evidence of an enemy plot, Felt acts as if this new information is cheating. Like Sandra, he is positively hostile even to the idea of taking this information seriously. Not surprisingly, this slope is slippery, and Gordon Felt now seems to be deliberately misleading the public about the 44 inscribed translucent blocks that are to be placed along the flight path. Memorial Project misinformation, covered up by the media’s refusal to check the facts One of the claims in our petition is that there are 44 inscribed translucent blocks, or “glass blocks,” to be placed along the flight path. Asked about the 44 blocks by AP reporter Ramesh Santanam, Mr. Felt denied it:
Santanam presents these directly opposing factual claims, and that’s it. No fact checking, when all he has to do is open up the design PDF’s and count the translucent blocks. It takes literally two minutes. Open up the Sacred Ground PDF and on the right side you see this:  At eye level, are 43 "glass" (or translucent marble) blocks, built into the two part Memorial Wall that follows the flight path just above the impact point. Forty are inscribed with the names of the 40 heroes. Three are inscribed with the 9/11 date. (The blocks can be counted in an elevation view at the bottom of the PDF.) For the 44th glass block, go to the Entry Portal PDF, which shows a giant glass block, marking the spot where the flight path breaks the circle in architect Paul Murdoch's description:  44th block sits at the end of the Entry Portal Walkway, which follows the flight path at the upper crescent tip. Murdoch even has the brass to tell us that it marks the terrorists’ circle-breaking crescent creating feat. To be inscribed: “A field of honor forever.” They have been covering it up for two years now The Memorial Project has known about this terrorist memorializing block-count since April 2006, when Project Manager Jeff Reinbold argued that the giant glass block at the end of the Entry Portal Walkway cannot be counted with the others because it is so much bigger (Crescent of Betrayal, download 3, p. 146). As Tom Burnett wrote in his February 1st advertisement in the Somerset Daily American:
But regardless of the merits of the Memorial Project’s rationale for not being concerned about the 44 translucent memorial blocks on the flight path, there can be no excuse for telling the public that this claim is false. No one ever said that all the blocks would be the same size. We have been explicit: the 44th block is the giant glass block that dedicates the entire site. Maybe Gordie Felt has a different dodge in mind. Maybe he is caviling over the fact that the 44th block is made of slightly different material than the other 43, being designated “glass” while the others are labeled “translucent marble.” That’s like caviling about the size difference. We can’t go repeating “44 inscribed translucent blocks on the flight path” all the time, so we shorten it to “the 44 glass blocks” or “the 44 blocks.” Is that Gordon Felt’s excuse for evading the fact that there are 44 inscribed translucent blocks on the flight path? We use a necessary shorthand and his instinct for evasion says “aha!”? Sorry Mr. Felt. That is NOT how you live up to your fiduciary responsibility to the American people. You have accepted a position of trust and you trying to hide the truth, not expose it. The fourth petition complaint: that the giant crescent is STILL THERE One of the intolerable features of the soon-to-be-built memorial was known to everyone involved in the jury process. That is the crescent and star configuration of the original Crescent of Embrace design. When outrage erupted in September 2005 over this the planting of a naked Islamic flag on the graves of our murdered heroes, the Memorial Project was adamant they did not want to change it. They had talked about the likeness to an Islamic crescent during jury deliberations and decided that they wanted to choose it anyway. When controversy erupted, they felt the critics were trying to override what they thought was THEIR decision to make. That position collapsed when Congressman Tancredo insisted that, intentional or not, it was unacceptable to build the Flight 93 memorial in the shape of a symbol that the Flight 93 terrorists claimed as their own. Pretty obvious one would think, but the backers of the crescent design were bitterly angry about having their preference overruled, just as they are now. They didn’t want to change the design, and they DIDN’T change the design. In the original, the terrorists break our liberty-loving circle, turning it into a giant Mecca-oriented crescent. The Park Service describes the so-called redesign in the exact same terms:
It is still a broken circle, and it is still broken in the exact same places. The only change is that, instead of the broken off part being completely removed, a chunk of the broken off part of the circle now floats out across part of the mouth of the crescent:  Except for the re-coloring of the redesign image (right), the only change is the “broken off” arc of trees to the left of the crescent. Both thematically and geometrically, nothing is changed. The unbroken part of the circle (the crescent) remains completely intact. In particular, it still points to Mecca, making it the world’s largest mihrab (the Mecca-direction indicator around which every mosque is built). Sandy Felt seems pretty clear that the issue is still the giant crescent:
She and the other crescent defenders claim that it is Mr. Burnett who wants a “redo” on this point, but it is actually THEY who are looking for a “redo.” On this very point–on just the crescent shape itself, without taking into account the numerous other Islamic and terrorist memorializing features–it is the DEFENDERS of the crescent who lost the popular vote in September 2005, not Tom Burnett. Democracy Do the nine people who voted for the crescent design (the vote was 9 to 6) really think that they have a greater claim to represent America’s democratic voice than a United States Congressman, speaking for a national uproar? Do they really think that it is THEIR prerogative to plant a terrorist memorial mosque on the graves of our murdered heroes, no matter what the rest of the country thinks? America stood up in September 2005 and said OVER OUR DEAD BODIES. The Memorial Project pretended to accede to this rejection, promising to remove the Islamic symbol shapes, but they DIDN’T remove the crescent. They only hid it. Democracy is the will of the American people, not the will of nine family members, misguided by grief, who have fallen in love with a giant Islamic shaped crescent. It is bad enough that an inflated sense of prerogative makes these family members think it is okay to try to sneak their giant crescent onto the crash site even after it has been publicly rejected. Worse is their using their bitterness at being rebuffed as an excuse not to witness the numerous further Islamic and terrorist memorializing design features that have been discovered. Every American feels tremendous sympathy for the grief of these families, but that does not absolve those who have stepped up to positions of public responsibility from the need to BE RESPONSIBLE. As much as the families may want peace and healing, our nation is in the middle of what promises to be a very long war with those who attacked us on 9/11. To be willfully blind to evidence of an al Qaeda sympathizing plot is DANGEROUS. Since these family members are embracing every excuse to evade evidence of radical Islamic intent, they simply have to be overruled, and this time for good. No more do-overs for terrorist memorial mosques. To join our blogbursts, just send your blog’s url.
Does the Bush Regime Rank as One of the Most Repressive in the World?Freedom House, an independent nongovernmental organization that supports the expansion of freedom in the world, has released its annual global survey of political rights and civil liberties (selected data Freedom in the World 2007). The eight countries judged to have the most repressive regimes are Cuba, Libya, Myanmar, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
You know, with all the hyperbolic demagoguery and hyperventilating fearmongering about “unprecedented expansion of presidential authority”, “erosion of civil liberties” due to the advent of such things as the Patriot Act, NSA surveillance programs, data-mining; and also torture/waterboarding (total of 3 cases- the worst of the worst), Guantanamo, rendition, etc., you’d think that the Bush Regime would rank as one of the “worst of the worst”. But no. Reality sings a different tune from the shrill chorus of the conspiratorial nuts and BDS sufferers. Oh, and another news flash to The World Can’t Wait crowd: The Bush Administration will be out of office in several months from now, and you’ll be irrelevant and proven nothing more than an ineffective sideshow. But you were allowed to exist during the Bush years; and had the freedom to spew your moronic hatespeak, despite (or thanks to?) the “repressive” totalitarian police-state known as the “evil” Bush Regime. It took amazing guts and courage for you to have stood up against Bushitler. Congratulations on your accomplishments!
Democrats - Tax More Instead Of Drill MoreI find it curious how the Democrats in all of their wisdom can actually think this is a good idea:
When they should know that any reductions in the meager profits Big Oil makes (Their profit margin came to a whopping 8.3%, which underperformed the entire manufacturing sector as a whole. For investors in the oil industry, and 8.3% return on investment doesn't exactly equate to screamingly fabulous growth, especially when looking at pharmaceuticals, 18.4%, and beverage makers, 19.1%) means only one thing. Upping gas prices. Thats how capitalsm works folks. Businesses cannot survive without profits and a reduction in those profits forced by the government will only prompt them to pass the burden onto the consumer. VDH:
Want to fix it? Lets get the oil that is below our own feet and stop being reliant on others oil. It’s just plain old common sense. Something that seems to be lacking on the Democrats part. Hell, the last time this windfall tax crap was pulled in 1980 it did nothing but but reduce the domestic production of our own oil which in turned made us MORE dependent on foreign oil. What other brilliant plans do the Democrats have up their sleeves?
Brilliant, force traders to foreign markets….just freakin brilliant!
You really can’t make this stuff up. Gateway Pundit with some great slides which show the brilliance of the Democrat plan to tax more instead of drill more: 
Just a crazy world we’re living in….
Bush Refuses To Meet USS Cole FamiliesIt’s almost been 8years since the plot to sink either the USS Sullivans or the USS Cole was set in motion. For many time doesn’t matter. Families for the USS Cole victims have tried to meet with President Bush to get him to take action, but after 8 years President Bush refuses to take action against the plotters or to even meet with the families of the USS Cole or its survivors. One would think that if nothing else the photo opportunity would be worthy, but not President Bush.
The Cole is a sad story of American leaders’ incredible reluctance to even be seen recognizing the hardest of decisions unless compelled by outside forces. Remember, within days of the attack, CNN reported that the Clinton Administration was almost certain it was an Al Queda attack. Within 2 weeks of the attack, this was confirmed. Rather than start a war on the eve of an election, and rather than toss Al Gore’s campaign to the trash heap, President Clinton chose to push off reaction to the Cole attack for the next President to deal with. President Bush failed to take action. Now, almost all of the Cole plotters are free (except for the two bombers and a handful of those in US custody). While several investigations into who to blame for not preventing the attack were conducted, the 8year old investigation into the attack is collapsing. This is disgraceful. Apparently he tired of dealing with the Cole before he even started. He faltered in pursuing the attackers, and he failed to even complete the investigation. (footnote: While the FBI had bomb residue analysis test done on the USS Cole within 100hrs of the attack they continue to refuse to reveal where the massive amounts of Russian RDX came from, or how the bombmakers could manage to build a sophisticated “wafer’/shaped charge but couldn’t manage to build a boat to carry it to the target.)
FBI Director Confirms: Al Queda Cells Are Inside U.S.They’re heeeeeeeeere…..
Perhaps President Obama will ask his FBI Director who they are so he can invite them to the White House to talk? You know, like FDR did to Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo.
