It would seem that this subject discussed in the link above might be worth an article of its own.

I won’t be paranoid and say that this sounds like the Saudi King is trying to impose one religion on the world. However, with the additional information that the US Treasury wants to explore using Sharia law in regards to banking and the fact that Sharia law is making inroads in the UK.

Any criticism of “honor” killing or treatment of women in Islamic countries could be considered a crime?

Read the article — it’s worth the time.

No, please post a link!

Shipping routes will always be critical to major nations. The Black Sea, although mostly land-locked, has for years been shared only by the USSR and Turkey. Now Russia’s access to it is relatively minor compared to Ukraine.

It would be akin to the US losing full maritime access to the Great Lakes!

That is one of the things that most of us feared when Clinton was thrown under the bus and the press went for their ‘chosen one’. It was clear that Obama thought once he was put in place that ‘all’ those bad people would come together and beam love beams to him.

I suspect that Biden was warning of what is too come, we more than likely will end up in an other war and we know Obama will draft our daughters too (even though we have never seen his selective service papers). We will all be asked to support him, and not to question him.

How much influence will Clinton have as SoS, is seen by looking back at Powell and his now famous speech at the UN. Powell had miss givings, but it was his job to go sell the war and Bush later even joked about it: “No weapons of mass destruction under here.” The SoS is there at the service of the president and like Powell, even if she has some reservations, it will be her duty to move the administration’s agenda forward.

The ‘New Democratic’ base will soon lose their insulation and know what it is like to live under the fear of nuclear annihilation like we did as children, huddled under our desks being told that would protect us, when the drills were called.

Thanks Shtuey, for the lovely prose, it makes for better understanding when told in a personalized way.

But I think they knew, some in defense, anyway, maybe wanting to see how it played out…

“Shock Doctrine” by Naomi Klein has a chapter on Russia when it made the traumatic switch to the “new” economy.

Military careers have been spent on both sides playing games of cat and mouse.

It was beyond belief that Obama didn’t know how the UN worked (Veto power of Russia etc.) during the Russian invasion of Georgia this summer. This is basic information from grade school — so I’m wondering how well Obama retains basic grade school or high school information about government and International relations. I had some “mean” teachers who required us to draw on a blank piece of paper the countries of each region of the world — all neighbors and major bodies of water had to be drawn and named. I guess what these teachers were doing is to make us create a “mind map” in our brains with the countries and their relationship to other countries.

Another thing we learned is that when there is a power void it will be filled — with the selection of a weak PEBO the US appears to be creating a power void — which the power players like Putin are itching to fill.

Jean needs to take it up with the DNC, the MSM, and ACORN.

Tell them to save you from the islamists.
