FRANCE 'READY TO DUMP MIGRANTS IN BRITAIN'
Can't anyone control their borders any more?
Update. They're coming from everywhere.
Update. They're coming from everywhere.
"The UK will be one of the main destination countries for them because there is a critical mass of earlier migrants who are already there," he said."
Cheney did ask for CIA memos
See here. Don't hold your breath for all these leftoids to admit they were wrong. The leftoids went nuts claiming Cheney lied about his request to the CIA. It was pointed out at the time to these dim people, that the request was made to the National Archives and not the CIA, as per normal procedures.
Barney Frank in 2005 — Bubble? What bubble?
Democrats can lie with impunity because they can always rely on the left wing media to give them cover.

al Qaeda leader arrested in Iraq
Zarqawi's replacement.
"AMMAN, JORDAN – Amid reports of two bombings that killed scores, an Iraqi military spokesman announced Thursday that Iraqi forces had arrested the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Omar al-Baghdadi.
“Abu Omar al-Baghdadi was arrested today in Baghdad,” Baghdad security spokesman Maj. Gen. Qasim Atta told Agence France-Presse. “It was Iraqi forces who arrested him based on an intelligence tipoff from someone.”
The arrest, which is perhaps the greatest blow to AQI since its former leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed in a 2006 US strike, comes amid a recent spike in violence. Some worry that the nation’s security gains may slip as the US scales back its presence."
Obama wants defendants' rights limited
Didn't see that coming, did you?
"WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration is asking the Supreme Court to overrule long-standing law that stops police from initiating questions unless a defendant's lawyer is present, another stark example of the White House seeking to limit rather than expand rights."

Reports of America's demise have been exaggerated
Tim Marshall reports on his recent vacation there.
Pakistan a "mortal threat"
That's what Hillary Clinton says.
""Pakistan poses a mortal threat to the security and safety of our country and the world," Clinton said. "And I want to take this occasion ... state unequivocally that not only do the Pakistani government officials, but the Pakistani people and the Pakistani diaspora ... need to speak out forcefully against a policy that is ceding more and more territory to the insurgents ..."

Delegates walk out of UN conference
Good for them.
"Protestors stormed the stage when Ahmadinejad began speaking and several Western delegates walked out of the room after the Iranian president said Israel was created on the "pretext of Jewish suffering" from World War II.
Among the diplomats seen leaving the room were envoys from Britain, France and Canada, who had all previosuly threatened to stand up and leave if the Iranian president made anti-Semitic statements, the Times of London reported."
Egypt opens Gaza border crossing
for two days. What? You didn't know Egypt had closed its border with Gaza at the same time and reasons as Israel?
Now, why might that be?
"The crossing has been closed for much of the time since the Hamas movement took control of Gaza in June 2007. "
Now, why might that be?
Navy Veterans and Asbestos Exposure
Throughout the 20th century, asbestos was used in many industrial applications as a form of insulation, piping, flooring, brake lining and roofing. The United States military implemented asbestos use in Navy vessels because of its heat resistant, durable and versatile qualities. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions of living veterans were exposed to asbestos-containing materials during their service. Asbestos was valued so high that its use was widespread until the 1970’s, when it began to be phased out.
Thousands of tons of asbestos were used as piping and boiler insulation aboard navigation rooms, sleeping quarters and mess halls in ships. It’s qualities as fire resistant, versatile and durable nature paved the way for its uses as insulation in aircraft, vehicles and buildings. Asbestos appeared on most vessels used by the Navy and in shipyards. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs stated that out of the 25 million military veterans living today in the country, hundreds of thousands were exposed to asbestos while on service.
Asbestos exposure is the only known cause of a rare cancer known as mesothelioma. This type of cancer typically affects the lining of the lungs, heart or stomach. Unfortunately, because the symptoms of mesothelioma do not show up until about 15 to 25 years after exposure, the cancer is usually diagnosed in its advanced stages when it is more difficult to treat. A typical mesothelioma survival rate is about 1 year from the time it is diagnosed.
Regarded as one of many cover-ups jointly executed by corporations and government, it appears that the asbestos scandal still has not reached its climax. It appears that until there is a vehement change in policies enforced on a federal level against the use of asbestos, it will continue to inflict damage and harm to yet another generation of innocent by standards.Military veterans and civilians who have developed an asbestos-related disease find themselves in a tough situation when attempting to receive assistance and benefits for their wrongful illness. Currently, mesothelioma is not readily recognized as a service-related medical ailment. However, veterans can apply for Veteran Affairs (VA) benefits for asbestos-related illness and must provide proof that their exposure occurred at the time of their military service.

Germany to boycott UN racism meeting
Good for them.
"Germany joined the United States, Netherlands, Australia, Canada, Israel and Italy in boycotting the conference out of concern that it could be used by Muslim countries to criticise Israel and to limit free speech when it comes to criticising their religion. "
Guardian attacks Fox News
Like a little boy whose had is rattle taken away, Peter Preston attacks Fox News. Lefties sure don't like it now that they're not the only ones with a voice.
Preston uses Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals to attack Fox News. Preston's attack is classic rule 5 and 12.
Preston's picked his target, Fox News, froze it, personalized it, polarized it and then ridiculed it. No facts are needed. Textbook left wing drivel.
Preston notes this about Fox News:
"The most remarkable broadcasting phenomenon today, or for the last 10 years, is Fox News,..." and "Check the latest ratings and you will find Fox News not just back at number one, but walloping its rivals more conclusively than ever. Its American audience now beats the other two combined."
Preston's conclusion as to why Fox News is so popular? "Here's the secret ingredient. It is known as rage."
That's it. No, seriously, that's it, that's Preston's conclusion. Ten years is a long time to be mad Preston old boy.
The Guardian is the same paper that gave us The Aslam Affair.
Update. Now this is rage Preston. Scroll down for the photos.
Update. The angry left.
This is revealing. Milbank is a reporter with the Washington Post and is supposed to be neutral.
"So the angry left should thank me: I'm taking one for the team."
So Milbank admits he's on the left's "team".

"RULE 5: "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." There is no defense. It's irrational. It's infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.) "
"RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.) "

HIllary Clinton pimps her husband
Well why not, she pimped her daughter during the campaign.
No word if Monica is paying.
"US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is offering the chance to spend a day with her husband Bill in exchange for help paying off her campaign debt. "
No word if Monica is paying.
Amnesty International attacks Obama
More buyers remorse. Counting the days till someone calls him Hitler.
Obama unleashes the attack dogs
In the face of massive protests against Obama's massive tax and spend programs, Obama unleashes the attack dogs.
First we had DHS right-wing report issued despite concerns.
Then "US spy agency exceeded powers".
And now Obama releases torture memos.
All designed to deflect attention away from Obama's failings and try and play the blame Bush game. Just shows you how desperate Obama is.

Notre Dame to cover up Christ for Obama?
Georgetown did.
Over to you Notre Dame
"The White House acknowledges that it asked Georgetown University, a Catholic institution, to cover up prominent Christian symbols for President Obama's economic speech this past Tuesday. The symbols, the letters "IHS" which stands for Jesus Christ, and a cross, are engraved on a pediment that stands behind the stage from which Obama delivered his address. Both the cross and the symbolic representation of Jesus' name were not hidden by the background drapes that the White House wanted for the event, and so the Administration asked the school to cover them."
Over to you Notre Dame

Schakowsky: Tea parties 'despicable'
Of course when the left protest it's patriotic. But why is Schakowsky so bent on stopping these tax protesters? Congresswoman's husband pleads guilty to two tax felonies
Oops.
"Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) blasted "tea party" protests yesterday, labeling the activities "despicable" and shameful."
Of course when the left protest it's patriotic. But why is Schakowsky so bent on stopping these tax protesters? Congresswoman's husband pleads guilty to two tax felonies
"CHICAGO (AP) — The husband of an Illinois congresswoman pleaded guilty Wednesday to tax violations and bank fraud for writing rubber checks and failing to collect withholding tax from an employee.
Robert Creamer, a political consultant married to four-term U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky [D], could face four years in prison on the two felony counts when he is sentenced Dec. 21. "
Oops.

Where do the Gaza death numbers come from?
Why, the Palestinians, of course!
That one must have slipped by the al Reuters censors.
"According to a Palestinian rights group, 1,417 Palestinians, including 926 civilians, were killed in the fighting. Israel disputes those figures."
That one must have slipped by the al Reuters censors.
Iraq air raids hit mostly women and children
blares the headline from the Independent.
The Independent go on to quote some figures.
But as is custom for the Independent, they leave out important facts that tell the whole story.
Here are the actual numbers The Independent leave out.
Terrible numbers to be sure, but you have to wonder why The Independent leave out important information. As for the percentages of women and children, here to the Independent leave out crucial information.
Percentages inflated by the media, un huh. Which is why the Independent goes on the cite the much discredited Lancet report.
War is terrible and civilian deaths, especially women and children, are horrible, which is all the more reason the Independent should be condemned for trying to use their deaths to further their anti war agenda.
"Air strikes and artillery barrages have taken a heavy toll among the most vulnerable of the Iraqi people, with children and women forming a disproportionate number of the dead.
Analysis carried out for the research group Iraq Body Count (IBC) found that 39 per cent of those killed in air raids by the US-led coalition were children and 46 per cent were women."
The Independent go on to quote some figures.
"The report, The Weapons That Kill Civilians, Deaths of Children and Noncombatants in Iraq, was compiled from a sample of 60,481 deaths in 14,196 events over a five-year period since the 2003 invasion. Civilian casualties from concentrated bouts of violence, such as the two sieges of Fallujah, were excluded. "
But as is custom for the Independent, they leave out important facts that tell the whole story.
"BAGHDAD (AP) — Execution-style killings, not headline-grabbing bombings, have been the leading cause of death among civilians in the Iraq war, a study released Wednesday shows."
Here are the actual numbers The Independent leave out.
"Only 4 percent of the Iraqi deaths included in the study, or 2,363, were a result of U.S. airstrikes,..."
Terrible numbers to be sure, but you have to wonder why The Independent leave out important information. As for the percentages of women and children, here to the Independent leave out crucial information.
"The authors caution that those percentages may be inflated "because the media may tend to specifically identify female and young victims more readily than male adults among the dead."
Percentages inflated by the media, un huh. Which is why the Independent goes on the cite the much discredited Lancet report.
War is terrible and civilian deaths, especially women and children, are horrible, which is all the more reason the Independent should be condemned for trying to use their deaths to further their anti war agenda.
Amnesty International's anti Americanism
is in full view here.
This blogger for AI believes everything Gharani says and repeats his claims of torture without any evidence what soever. Further, they leave out some important information, such as the other sides version.
But since it's America AI is talking about, the claims are automatically true. But, on the other hand it's Obama, the left's chosen one, we're talking about so we musn't criticize The One. Hence, AI leave out this bit from Gharani.
So much for Hope and Change then.
Another inmate was recently released to Britain. He too made claims of various forms of serious torture including have his genitals cut. These claims could easily be verivied with a simple medial check; one he refuses to submit to. Now I wonder why?

British bomber 'fighting for the Taliban
Guess where he came from?
"It is believed to be an exact match with a known Muslim extremist who was naturalised in England after arriving from Pakistan, according to the Sun."
Britain's security weak?
Man jailed for spraying urine, feces on food in UK
This caught my eye in that report.
And yet he carried out his attacks over several days.
As for deportation, you can forget that, it would violate his human rights.
This caught my eye in that report.
"Judge Carol Hagen said Britain's security agencies had labeled him a high risk to public safety. Authorities have already begun deportation proceedings. "

Muslim MP criticizes killing Muslim terrorists
Whose side is Sadiq Khan on?
Now you know.
Update. This is the kind of the terrorist Khan seeks to protect.
Update. Remember those Pakistani students Khan says he listened to? Would that be these students?
"A GOVERNMENT minister has called for Britain to distance itself publicly from the American policy of launching attacks on Al-Qaeda terrorists with pilotless drones to avoid inflaming Pakistani opinion.
Sadiq Khan, the community cohesion minister, said he had listened to the “anger and frustration” of students in Islamabad over US attacks inside Pakistan."
Now you know.
Update. This is the kind of the terrorist Khan seeks to protect.
"Despite this known track record, Rauf’s real importance had been underestimated. About four years ago he became Al-Qaeda’s director of European operations.
Last November Rauf was reportedly killed when three American Hellfire missiles from a CIA predator drone destroyed a mud-built bungalow in a village in North Waziristan, in the lawless tribal lands that span the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. "
Update. Remember those Pakistani students Khan says he listened to? Would that be these students?
"A number of the 11 Pakistanis arrested were from the tribal areas and had been admitted to Britain on student visas. "
Amnesty International aids terrorism
This AI report trumpets a UN investigation into the latest Gaza conflict that calls on both sides to cooperate with the UN. But AI has already convicted Israel before the investigation has even begun.
AI states those numbers as fact without reference to where they came from - and for good reason. Here's why.
No mention of how you can tell a civilian from a terrorists wearing civilian clothes. So just who are these Norwegian doctors? Mads Gilbert, that's who.
So, the numbers come from Palestinian doctors and the civilian numbers come from Gilbert, an admitted hater of Israel and America.
Who runs AI anyway?
"During the Israeli military campaign 'Cast Lead', between 27 December 2008 and 18 January 2009, Israeli forces killed more than 1,400 Palestinians, including 300 children and hundreds of other unarmed civilians, and injured some 5,000 Palestinians, many of them maimed for life."
AI states those numbers as fact without reference to where they came from - and for good reason. Here's why.
"Palestinian doctors say 879 Palestinians have been killed since the Israeli offensive - to stamp out rocket fire by Gaza militants - began on 27 December.
Norwegian doctors in Gaza's main hospital said about half the casualties they have seen are civilians. Thirteen Israelis - 10 soldiers and three civilians - have died during the offensive. "
No mention of how you can tell a civilian from a terrorists wearing civilian clothes. So just who are these Norwegian doctors? Mads Gilbert, that's who.
"When asked if he supported a terrorist attack against the US he answered: "Terror is a poor weapon, but my answer is yes, within the context I have mentioned."
So, the numbers come from Palestinian doctors and the civilian numbers come from Gilbert, an admitted hater of Israel and America.
Who runs AI anyway?
"AI is most vocal in its attacks on America over Guantanamo bay. AI’s Secretary General, Irene Khan, referred to Guantanamo prison as the “gulag of our times” and has co-authored a book titled “America's Gulag: Full Spectrum Dominance Versus Universal Human Rights”. In addition, AI produces “education packs” made available to schools to promote their agenda. In one such pack, school children are taught how to dress up in orange jump suits similar to those worn by prisoners held at the prison. This despite the fact that many prisoners at the prison openly admit they carried out acts of terrorism and boast they will do so again if released; some have already done so.
As Ms. Khan is a Muslim, her attacks on Israel come as no surprise."

Instead of drilling for oil, Obama tilts at windmills
I mean, you didn't really think Obama meant it when he said he would make America oil independent, did you?
"Weaning the U.S. off imported oil by drilling for known reserves off our coasts and under federal lands is a no-cost economic stimulus that would create 160,000 high-paying jobs and generate $1.7 trillion in new tax revenue and royalties. Tapping this resource would stop the flow of U.S. dollars to Middle Eastern sheikdoms, Hugo Chavez’s Venezuelan madhouse and other OPEC outposts of petroleum-fueled global lunacy. But even though a large majority of Americans favor expanding domestic oil and gas production, the Obama administration is literally tilting at windmills instead. "
Democrats turn on Obama
It just keeps getting better and better.
Well, he picked them.
"Similar sentiments echo across the House. Rep. Jim McGovern (D., Mass.) said he fears Afghanistan could become a quagmire. "I just have this sinking feeling that we're getting deeper and deeper into a war that has no end," he said.
Rep. John Conyers (D., Mich.) dismissed Mr. Obama's plans as "embarrassingly naive," and suggested that the president is being led astray by those around him."
Well, he picked them.
