The U.S.’ Number One Spy
2007-05-02 16:38:00 The Times and Dems for the most part have always coined the NSA eavesdropping program as spying or domestic spying. Now, the next iteration of the program has straight referred to as “his spying program,” however this program is a ramp up of the 1978 FISA law; the FISA of course is what everyone in opposition called for. As the Times sees it: “For more than five years, President Bush authorized government spying on phone calls and e-mail to and from the United States without warrants.” “Mr. Bush’s motivations for submitting this bill now seem obvious. The courts have rejected his claim that 9/11 gave him virtually unchecked powers, and he faces a Democratic majority in Congress that is willing to exercise its oversight responsibilities. That, presumably, is why his bill grants immunity to telecommunications companies that cooperated in five years of illegal eavesdropping. It also strips the power to hear claims against the spying program from all courts except ... More About: The U , Number

Iran's Face Saving Offers to the U.S.
2007-04-30 17:42:00 According to The NY Times Iran will be attending THE regional conference on Iraq this week in Egypt, which is seen as: “setting the stage for the first cabinet-level meeting between Iran and the United States since the end of 2004.” Before talks between the U.S. and Iran can happen, Iran must cease and desist from “stirring up trouble,” including stoking the flames among the militias and weapons technology, which the Times describes as an effective “repetition of the accusations that have helped sour relations.” Optimism abounds for the verbose elite as: “some Western diplomats say both the United States and Iran are intensifying their search for face-saving approaches that would allow their standoff over the nuclear issue to soften enough to allow for substantial talks.” As Pelosi’s road to peace goes through Damascas, not Egypt; according to the Public Relations Department of the Expediency Council of Iran, Iraqs National Congress Party represent...

Friday Sermon from Iran - April 27, 2007
2007-04-27 22:22:00 Well, this week’s Frida y Sermon served to gently remind all those that would try to thwart Iran ’s “peaceful nuclear” enterprise was communicated by Substitute Friday prayers leader of Tehran Hojatoleslam Ahmad Khatami, of which a key thing to remember would be that: ‘"Despite all the anti-Iran resolutions, our president, while sponsoring nuclear festival, honorably showed that we have with God's grace gained remarkable progress and joined the nuclear club. The world should know that if they wish to talk with powerful Iran unconditionally, they should not violate its rights and if they want to continue bullying like the past, the talks would not be fruitful."’ Please note that a suggestion for unconditional peace in the greater Middle East was also remarked upon by the spiritual leader; which I’m sure will solve the regions problems: ‘"Instead of negotiating with the Israeli regime, the Arab states should talk to the Palestinian nation so as to garner divine co...

Answering the Question - A How To or WTF?
2007-04-27 20:49:00 Apologies up front as it's just kind of my mood today.Reading Byron York this morning regarding last nights Democrat Debate on MSNBC with Brian Williams asking and anticipating a military type response (I assume, but that’s from my war-mongering stance, I guess), Williams asked: ‘“If, God forbid, a thousand times, while we were gathered here tonight, we learned that two American cities had been hit simultaneously by terrorists and we further learned beyond the shadow of a doubt it had been the work of al Qaeda, how would you change the U.S. military stance overseas as a result?”’ I am struck by the responses received. This from Senator Barack Obama I will use as the sample: '“Well, first thing we’d have to do is make sure that we’ve got an effective emergency response, something that this administration failed to do when we had a hurricane in New Orleans.

North Korean Military Celebrations: Kim & the Gang, Keeping the Funk Al
2007-04-25 21:56:00 Today Kim and the Gang celebrated the North Korean People’s Army’s 75th birthday, which as described by the NY Times consisted of: “Columns of soldiers accompanied by missiles and rockets marched through Pyongyang today under the eyes of the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il, in a bold display of defiance by a country that has been engaged in a nuclear standoff with the United States.” The credit for the strong show of support is given, by the North Korean state run media to Kim and his “songun” or “army-first” policy. Songun policy dictates that the army comes first with regard to receipt of food, medical care and any other resources necessary. This policy is attributed to the strong feelings of nationalism in North Korea. This has “also stoked xenophobia among the North Koreans. It stressed a belief that the North Koreans were under attack from the Americans and that the only way out of their economic suffering was to build a strong military.” ...

GREAT NEWS!!! Iran Agrees to Talks
2007-04-25 18:06:00 It’s about time isn’t it? IRNA reports that according to Secretary of Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani: “Iran welcomes correct and precise negotiations to settle ongoing disputes over its peaceful nuclear program.” “"We have always welcomed precise and correct talks to resolve the nuclear issue but the opposite side has set conditions leading to suspension of negotiations.” The head of the Iranian “negotiation” team will meet with EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana. Further brightening the days ahead and the possibilities of resolution were these remarks from President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: "The West has made a mistake and it needs to correct its mistake, while the entire world knows well that Iran's nuclear activities are both legal, and legitimate and many European officials have emphasized this point in their talks with us."

Harry Reid and Dems – Victory through Loss
2007-04-24 17:11:00 Today in the Washington Post there is an article regarding the war-funding deal entitled: “Negotiators Agree on War-Funding Package.” Opening with: “House and Senate negotiators reached agreement yesterday on war-funding legislation that would begin bringing U.S. troops home from Iraq as early as July, setting a goal of ending U.S. combat operations by no later than March.” I wonder who these “negotiators” are and why this tidbit of information is not elaborated on. The implication in this title and opening is that it has all been agreed upon and it is only now going to await the intransigent president to veto. So, we’ll see who really cares about the troops. Further down though, if you feel like reading beyond the title and opening paragraph, it appears they are speaking of the Democrat negotiating team. “Democrats framed the deal reached yesterday as an effort to compromise with Bush.” Regarding the HUGE effort at compromise involved in the nego...

Nancy “Sonny Corleone” Pelosi & the Harry Reid Death Surge
2007-04-23 20:32:00 Nice short piece at NRO by Mackubin Thomas Owens, that opens with the following: “When Nancy Pelosi , the Speaker of the House of Representatives, trekked to Damascus not too long ago to meet with the thug dictator of Syria, it occurred to me that she was essentially taking a page from a scene in The Godfather — the one in which Sonny dissents from a decision made by his father, Don Corleone, during a meeting with a representative of another mafia family.” Suffice it to say, Sonny’s meeting with the opposing crime family led to the attempted assassination of the Don. The opposing family’s belief was that were Sonny in charge business between the two would be much easier. Owens is making the comparison between Pelosi and Reid and their comments or actions with those of the “insurgency” in Iraq. Knowing that winning in Iraq is more based upon how, we at home view the effort they seek to slaughter as many innocents as possible so that our backing for that theate...

Improvisation – Iraq’s Miles Davis – Kind of Blue

Moktada al-sadr is one of those people. Where he is interested in an Iraq without outside involvement, he realizes the best bet for this scenario is to wait on the American efforts in Iraq to come to a somewhat stabilizing fruition. Like our Democrat leadership, although much less interested in an American defeat, a senior Iraqi official said of al-sadr: “Mr. Sadr’s thinking was in constant evolution, groping for a workable strategy for the war.” From the NY Times: “Perhaps nothing is more surprising than the fact that Mr. Sadr’s attitude toward the Americans actually reflects a degree of ambivalence.” “Anti-Americanism is the basis of his unflagging popularity.

Opinion on Opinion on Bush Challenged on Iraq - an Opinion
2007-04-19 20:07:00 I love opinion pieces especially when I have an opinion about one. Today’s Washington Post has a really fun one, entitled “Bush Challenge d on Iraq .” Something the public has never been able to see and judge for themselves is President Bush pissed off, angry, what ever you want to call it. Interesting because if you think about it, we don’t see a lot of politicians get pissed; it may just be passion, but that’s subjective isn’t it. This to Dan Froomkin is an example of the president’s “bubble.” “Bush is well known for living inside a protective bubble where accommodating staffers keep opposing views -- and those who hold them -- at bay.” Or Bush is well known for having a bubble around him as the media sees it. Or the media, in its insistence that the president lives in a bubble continues to view him as living in a bubble.

According to Iran’s Islamic penal code, “murder charges can be dropped if the accused can prove the killing was carried out because the victim was morally corrupt.” The accused or convicted six were involved in 2002 killing of five people in Kerman, Iran and based their decision to kill following their viewing a “tape by a senior cleric who ruled that Muslims could kill a morally corrupt person if the law failed to confront that person.” Further examples of moral corruption “permit bloodshed, including armed banditry, adultery by a wife and insults to the Prophet Muhammad.” Following the identifi...

North Korea No Show on first Deadline
2007-04-16 17:34:00 Odd that. North Korea is late or has missed its first deadline in the newest deal to with the U.S. and its multi-lateral negotiating party. According to The NY Times: “The first deadline for North Korea to shut down and seal its main facility for manufacturing nuclear weapons fuel expired Saturday with no apparent action by the North to fulfill its commitments.” China has asked the U.S. for patience. Ok, not like we have any other choice right? The Times get a dig in, with (italics mine): “The inaction leaves President Bush vulnerable to attacks from hawks in his own party, who have argued that it was a mistake to return $25 million in frozen funds to the North Koreans — much of it believed to be from illicit sales of counterfeit currency and missiles — and who doubt that the North Koreans will stop producing bomb fuel as well as give up all of its existing weapons.” Damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t.

Iran – Kicking It up a Notch and Says No to Pelosi

Personally, I don’t think they will have too much trouble in the bid department from Russian or EU firms: “European goods make up 44% of the Iran’s total imports which last year amounted to more than $16 billion.

Repeat a Lie Long Enough…and Sticking to It (with slight adjustments)
2007-04-12 19:42:00 Senator Joe Biden misses the mark when describing/responding to Senator John McCain’s OpEd of less than a week ago in the Washington Post. While acknowledging (diplomatically) McCain’s argument regarding the consequences of failure in Iraq, but to stick with a “failing policy” is a “mistake.” Senator Biden sees this as lacking reality and that really, “the problem is that for every welcome development, there is an equally or even more unwelcome development that gives lie to the claim that we are making progress.” He then goes on to cite examples, which you can read by visiting the “piece.” The problem I see with Mr. Biden’s logic is that with every action in LIFE, there is an “equally” welcome or unwelcome development to follow; oftentimes not in a singular fashion (if very lucky it will be singular; most times it’s exponentially, but I won’t get into the math of it as I don’t like math).
