RUTHFULLY YOURS

Question: When the Libyan “military” comes to US staff colleges — a real possibility– do they get to bring their flags of al Qaeda with them?

This is a joke, right? I’m dreaming, aren’t I? Either give me a pitchfork, or wake me up when it’s over.

From USA Today:

The United States is in discussions with Libya over ways to help rebuild the country’s military, which the U.S. military considers essential to unify the country and bring rival militias under national control.

We’re looking for ways in which we can be helpful,” said Gen. Carter Ham, commander of U.S. Africa Command. “They have to find some way to form a national army.’

Who cares if Libya isn’t a “nation,” but a motley patchwork formerly run by a personality-cultish dictator?

In an interview with USA TODAY in Washington, Ham said the discussions had not reached the level of agreeing to specific cooperation. If the two countries do establish a relationship, it would not be the scale of U.S. efforts to rebuild the militaries of Iraq and Afghanistan.

That’s how it always starts.

TO CALL ANY INCH OF JERUSALEM “OCCUPIED” IS RIDICULOUS AND EVIL…..AND ALL THOSE LEFTIST JERKS WHO MADE ISRAEL’S CAPITAL A “NEGOTIABLE” ITEM ARE COMPLICIT AND EVIL AS WELL…

PSALM 137: IF I FORGET THEE OH JERUSALEM, LET MY RIGHT HAND FORGET HER CUNNING. IF I DO NOT REMEMBER THEE LET MY TONGUE CLEAVE TO THE ROOF OF MY MOUTH, IF I PREFER NOT JERUSALEM ABOVE MY CHIEF JOY….

The United States expressed disappointment Thursday over Israeli settlement activity after the approval of construction of a new Jewish enclave in annexed east Jerusalem.

However, the US State Department also said that it opposed a call by the Palestinians to take the issue to the UN Security Council, where Washington vetoed in February a resolution condemning Israeli settlements.

“We’re disappointed by recent announcements in Jerusalem and we’ve raised this issue with the Israeli government and continue to make our concerns about it known,” State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters.

“As we’ve said, we don’t believe that there’s any answers that lie in pursuing a path through the UN for the Palestinian Authority. The only way to reach their goal of an independent state is through the negotiating table.

“Neither of these activities get us to where we need to go,” Toner said of settlements and United Nations resolutions.

http://www.radicalislam.org/ Saudi Arabia is often considered to be a more modern, moderate and enlightened Arab state compared to its conservative regional neighbors like Iraq and Afghanistan. The United States considers Saudi Arabia and its monarchy a friend and ally, and yet, as this week’s newsletter highlights, Saudi Arabia is far from moderate. On the contrary, […]

Jordan Is Palestinian

UNEASY LIES THE SPURIOUS THRONE ON KINGLET ABDULLARD’S HEAD…..RSK

Thus far the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan has weathered the storm that has swept across the Middle East since the beginning of the year. But the relative calm in Amman is an illusion. The unspoken truth is that the Palestinians, the country’s largest ethnic group, have developed a profound hatred of the regime and view the Hashemites as occupiers of eastern Palestine—intruders rather than legitimate rulers. This, in turn, makes a regime change in Jordan more likely than ever. Such a change, however, would not only be confined to the toppling of yet another Arab despot but would also open the door to the only viable peace solution—and one that has effectively existed for quite some time: a Palestinian state in Jordan.

Last month, I noted that Democratic Sens. Claire McCaskill of Missouri and Jim Webb of Virginia had written to national archivist David S. Ferriero on Nov. 7, asking him to open the records of the Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan, which Ferriero has summarily sealed for 20 years. Guess what? Webb’s office tells me it still hasn’t received a reply. Where’s WikiLeaks when you need it?

We heard an awful lot about “blood” being on WikiLeaks’ hands, but it all seemed to come down to egg on officials’ faces. The fact is, a government of the people, by the people and for the people — whose officials, as information security experts Elizabeth Goitein and William Leonard recently wrote in The New York Times, “made 77 million decisions to classify information” in 2010 alone — should have the shutters yanked off so the sun can shine in.

Unfortunately, we just get more shutters. For example, the Obama administration just sealed the court records on the murder of federal agent Brian Terry, whose killers, Mexican drug smugglers, used weapons from a failed federal program to smuggle arms into Mexico. As Judicial Watch noted: “No one will know the reason for the confiscation of public court records in this case because the judge’s decision to seal it was also sealed.”

It was a rough week for the corruptocracy. White House officials better ho-ho-hold on tight because the sleigh ride isn’t going to get any smoother.

On Wednesday, disgraced former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, D-Ill., received a 14-year prison sentence for scheming to sell President Barack Obama’s Senate office, along with several other pay-for-play schemes. Blago played the distressed daddy for the federal judge, invoking his young daughters and wife (who held her notoriously foul tongue in check) to bemoan how his “life is in ruins.”

How far Blago’s fallen from the glory days of 2008, when he was gloating at the prospect of naming a candidate to fill then-President-elect Obama’s seat. “I’ve got this thing, and it’s f**king golden,” he crowed. All that glitters now, though, are the paparazzi flash bulbs that Blago faces on his perp walks.

Barry Does Hanukkah His Way…

Posted By Ed Driscoll On December 8, 2011 @ 5:51 pm In Muggeridge’s Law,The Holiday That Dare Not Speak Its Name |

… And Drudge has plenty of fun in response:

* Obama celebrates Hanukkah at White House…
* TWO WEEKS EARLY?
* LIGHTS ALL THE CANDLES…
* ‘We Never Need an Excuse For a Good Party’…

We’ve been told endlessly by the media that Obama is a “constitutional scholar.” Nobody said he was a religious scholar as well (not even Rev. Wright).

http://pjmedia.com/blog/gunwalker-goes-legal-obama-massively-increased-gun-sales-to-mexican-military/?print=1

Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News has posted a bombshell article [1] detailing how the Obama administration has greatly increased gun sales to the Mexican military. But further investigation into Attkisson’s discovery points toward the padding of a gun-control statistic — one frequently mentioned by the Obama administration — as the motive behind the increased sales.

Writes Attkisson:

One weapon — an AR-15-type semi-automatic rifle — tells the story. In 2006, this same kind of rifle — tracked by serial number — is legally sold by a U.S. manufacturer to the Mexican military.

Three years later — it’s found in a criminal stash in a region wracked by Mexican drug cartel violence.

That prompted a “sensitive” cable, uncovered by WikiLeaks, dated June 4, 2009, in which the U.S. State Department asked Mexico “how the AR-15″ — meant only for the military or police — was “diverted” into criminal hands.

And, more importantly, where the other rifles from the same shipment went: “Please account for the current location of the 1,030 AR-15 type rifles,” reads the cable.

The prophets of demographic doom have contended, since the establishment of modern-day Zionism in 1897 and the Jewish state in 1948, that the Jews are doomed to become a minority west of the Jordan River. The facts prove them wrong!
In 2011, in defiance of demographic fatalism, Israel’s Jewish demography is benefiting from a tailwind while Arabs throughout the Middle East are experiencing a demographic headwind.

The annual number of Jewish births, for instance, has surged by 56 percent since 1995 – reflecting a rising fertility rate (number of births per woman) – while the annual number of Israeli Arab births has grown by 10% – reflecting a sharp decline in fertility rate.
