Obama and Intifada
2008-06-05 00:15:00 Redstate - Obama is being linked to the radical group International Solidarity Movement (ISM), as reported in the Canada Free Press on Tuesday. Ali Abunimah, Vice President of the Arab American Action Network in Chicago and co-founder of the Electronic Intifada , a website of the ISM, posted an article on Monday in which he outlines why he believes Obama is really very in tune with the Reverend's views on Israel. He even quotes Obama's remarks to a group of Jewish leaders in Cleveland to comfort his fellow anti-Semites that "Obama implicitly admitted that Wright's views were rooted in opposition to Israel's deep ties to apartheid South Africa, and thus entirely reasonable.""Obama's association with the ISM through his church and lobbying in Chicago goes even deeper than just his past links to Al Awda and Ali Abunimah. His pastor, Jeremiah Wright, and the Trinity Union Church of Christ in Chicago, are both equally involved with the ISM."The ISM is a movement comprised of Neo-nazi...
Tiananmen Trump targets Iran
2008-06-05 00:12:00 World Net Daily - MI6, Britain's intelligence agency, has established that China, in an increasingly desperate attempt to diffuse its growing problems over the Olympic Games, has betrayed one of its closest allies, Iran , according to Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.The Beijing regime has provided the International Atomic Energy Agency, IAEA, the United Nations watchdog into nuclear proliferation, with "a wealth of documentation" it had given to Iran on how to manufacture nuclear armed bombs.It is the second time the Beijing regime has betrayed an ally for its own ends. In January 1991, on the eve of the first Gulf War, Chinese diplomats secretly met with senior officers in the first Bush Administration in Washington. On the Washington conference table that cold January day 16 years ago was a very simple offer. In return for Beijing's support at the United Nations for war against Iraq – which until then it had rejected – the United States would make no public objection to China's ... More About: Trump

A retrial was set for Aug. 1.Defense attorney David Laufman said he plans to file a motion asking U.S. District Judge Neil Wake to overturn the guilty verdict."The government failed to meet its burden of proof on the main charges in this case," Laufman said.Alavi, 50, a naturalized U.S. citizen who was born in Iran, ran afoul of the law in 2006, prosecutors said. That is when he quit his job at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station west of Phoenix and brought a laptop to Iran containing training software with design schematics and other details of the plant.

Success in Iraq
2008-05-22 17:31:00 Do we still have troops in Iraq ? Is there still a conflict over there? If you rely on the so-called mainstream media, you may have difficulty answering those questions these days. As Iraqi and Coalition forces pile up one success after another, Iraq has magically vanished from the headlines. Want a real "inconvenient truth?" Progress in Iraq is powerful and accelerating.But that fact isn't helpful to elite media commissars and cadres determined to decide the presidential race over our heads. How dare our troops win? Even worse, Iraqi troops are winning. Daily. You won't see that above the fold in The New York Times. And forget the Obama-intoxicated news networks - they've adopted his story line that the clock stopped back in 2003.To be fair to the quit-Iraq-and-save-the-terrorists media, they have covered a few recent stories from Iraq:* When a rogue US soldier used a Koran for target practice, journalists pulled out all the stops to turn it into "Abu Ghraib, The Sequel."Unforgiv...

They are contacts," he said. "Having contacts is necessary. We had some before the invasion [takeover by Hamas] of Gaza," he said. More About: Ambassador , Held
