CLICK REFRESH FOR ANOTHER BUSHISMWell, at least George will enjoy his retirement in Abu Dhabi where he's already purchased a home, the better to please his corporate Halliburton masters who've already transferred corporate headquarters to this same Arab country... you know, Abu Dhabi. The very same country whose leadership enjoys taking hunting vacations with a Mr. Osama bin Laden, of the bin Laden family that bailed George out of business failure after business failure. The same country that George wanted to take over the security of our American ports. Them.

Jury in Sears Tower terrorism case asks if oath to al-Qaida a crime

Excuse me? Why is this even a question? What possible debate could there be?

If, during WWII, someone within the boundaries of the United States had taken the sacred blood oath to join Hitler's SS, would they not then be treated as an enemy of the United States and perhaps even a traitor?

If a person takes an oath to murder as many Americans as possible in fulfillment of their membership in a terrorist organization, and indeed that terrorist organization (Al Qaeda) has already murdered thousands of innocent Americans, would the new terrorist member's promise to do more murders, to support more terrorism, not be part of a criminal conspiracy?

Since when is aiding and abetting NOT a crime? Since when is giving support to the enemy NOT a crime?

Hello... why is this even an issue?

Trial of US citizens charged with plotting to train terrorists begins

Opening statements were to begin Tuesday in the trial of three men charged with plotting to recruit and train terrorists to attack US and allied troops overseas.

Federal prosecutors say the men, who all lived in the Toledo area for a while, attended a Muslim convention in Cleveland during the summer of 2004 where they talked about training in explosives, guns and sniper tactics.

The men were there with a former US military man who worked undercover and helped foil the plot, prosecutors said.

Mohammad Zaki Amawi, Marwan Othman El-Hindi and Wassim I. Mazloum are accused of conspiring to kill or maim people outside the United States, including military personnel in Iraq. They have all pleaded not guilty.

All are US citizens except Mazloum, who came to the US legally from Lebanon while El-Hindi and Amawi are Jordanian-Americans.

Hamas Plans New War of Aggression Against Israel

Hamas' charter calls for the complete destruction of the state of Israel. They will not be satisfied until Israel and the United States both cease to exist.

The numbnut left-wingers in this country who know Israel is not the aggressor but who persist in their anti-Semitic diatribes against our ally Israel have to do some real pretzel-twisting to continue to support terrorist Hamas.

I'll spell it out. The numbnuts are FOR Hamas because the numbnuts claim to want peace. But, that doesn't jive with the reality of Hamas' constant bombardment of rockets into Israel. Hamas = murder and aggression. The numbnuts want Hamas to be weak and defenseless and the poor simple victims of Israeli self-defense moves... that were started by Hamas rocket attacks/aggression. Whatever lie fits the numbnuts program, that's the one they promote.

Okay. Enough pretzel-twisting. For now.

So, now Hamas is threatening another war of aggression. They warn they should be allowed to launch their rockets against innocent civilians without facing any repercussions whatsoever. They warn if Israel defends itself in this war, "Jews, go back, because we have already dug graves for you."

And the numbnuts will still call Hamas the peaceful ones.

HORROR UNDER THE HIJAB

HORROR UNDER THE HIJAB

A Canadian Muslim teenager was murdered this week for trying to establish her own identity by moving out of her family home and for reportedly defying her father’s command to cover her head. Meanwhile, Canada’s largest daily newspaper, the Toronto Star, disgracefully hid its own head in the sand.

Pakistani-Canadian Aqsa Parvez, 16, was strangled by her father in an honor murder last Monday in the Toronto-area city of Mississauga. Refusing to wear the Islamic hijab, Parvez, who was herself born in Pakistan, wanted to live the normal lifestyle of a Canadian teenage girl, but ran into conflict with her strict, religious father. One friend and schoolmate said the Canadian teenager was afraid of her father and often came to school wearing bruises, the result of his violence.

“She was scared of her father; he was always controlling her,” the friend told the National Post, a Canadian national newspaper. “She wasn’t allowed to go out or do anything.”

Nevertheless, the Grade 11 student, according to friends, would leave home wearing the hijab but arrive at school in western-style clothes, having changed on the way. This was part of her courageous desire to live her own life and overcoming the fear in which she lived.

Despite the Canadian public’s disgust and outrage over this murder and in contrast to Parvez’s courage, the Toronto Star avoided tackling head on the issue of Muslim male intolerance and violence toward female family members who wish to establish their independence and lead their own lives.

Fred wants 'due process' for bin Laden

Fred Thompson said today in South Carolina that Osama bin Laden should be granted "due process."

Speaking to reporters in Greenville, Thompson said the leader of Al Qaeda "needs to be located and killed."

But, according to the AP, the former senator said such a punishment shoudn't be immediately meted out.

''No, no, no, we've got due process to go through'' depending on the circumstances, he said. ''I'm not suggesting those things happen simultaneously.

"Thompson's spokesman didn't immediately reply to a question about what sort of due process the candidate thinks bin Laden should get.

On the campaign trail in Iowa Friday, Thompson downplayed the importance of capturing bin Laden, portraying him as a mere symbol, before saying later in the day that he wanted to see the terrorist leader caught and killed.

But his comments today, in military and veteran-heavy South Carolina, are even more puzzling. The prospect of granting anything but swift and final justice to bin Laden is anathema to the GOP.

Thompson may have been indicating that he wants to extract information out of bin Laden before killing him, but the words "due process" will remind many in the political world of similar language that got Howard Dean in trouble in 2003.

"I still have this old-fashioned notion that even with people like Osama, who is very likely to be found guilty, we should do our best not to, in positions of executive power, not to prejudge jury trials," Dean told the Concord Monitor as the Democratic primary heated up in late December of that year.

Dean clarified later that he wanted to see bin Laden killed, but the specter of offering a terrorist the sort of legal rights afforded a U.S. citizen was too good for the former Vermont governor's rivals to pass up.
