Secretary Clinton and Envoy Mitchell Confer on Middle East »

First things first: Lest there be any confusion among New York Times reporters, here is what Hillary Clinton says at the conclusion of the press conference: “We are going to report to the President in the next day.” “We,” not “he.” (The full text is below the fold.)
Here is Reuters’ video [...]

An inevitable outcome in Gaza »

(bumped up by Susan)
 
“Hamas officials were set to hold talks in Cairo with Egyptian mediators to hear the Israeli response to proposals put forward by the Islamist group that rules the Gaza Strip.
Hamas has offered a one-year, renewable truce on condition that all Israeli forces leave Gaza within a week and that all the [...]

Hamas and Iran »

(bumped up from Thursday early afternoon)
From Pat Lang’s blog, Sic Semper Tyrannis. Pat’s bio is below. UPDATE: Corrected to include full text.
………………………………………….
I have been asked to explain for the general public how it is that Hamas ("The Movement for Islamic Resistance"), A Sunni Muslim organization has come to be supported by the Shia theocracy in [...]

Fire, Water, Wind, and Old Men »

“The most frightening dangers come from four sources: fire, water, wind, and old men.”
So goes the ancient Chinese saying, reminding us that decisions leaders make—most of them by old men—often endanger the innocents no matter which side or who started the fight.
Bernard-Henri Levy’s striking essay, Liberate the Palestinians from Hamas , seeks to [...]

Our Little Shop of Horrors »

I have to admit that I feel kinda sorry for the guy. I would for any President buying into our current crises (of which there are far more than pictured here), but especially for one who has no experience in dealing with any of them.
I wonder if (or how often) our President-Elect [...]

A Matter of Degrees »

No matter where you fall on the Israel/Gaza issue, and I know people have strong feelings on both sides, two events this past weekend are disturbing. They are disturbing because we have been down this road before. And this is a road down which we never want to go again, not Israel, not [...]

Gaza: A view from the other side »

I am certainly no expert in Middle Eastern affairs. Like many here, I just gather all the information I can and then form my opinions based on my own internal belief system. Like all, I have built in biases and pre-dispositions that shape those beliefs.
I am Jewish and have thus spent [...]

A Departure… *OPEN THREAD* »

From the intensity of Hammas and Israel, Obama’s vacation in Hawaii and continued testiness with the press (um, NOW do I get to say “I told you so”?? I did, you know - recently, too, in my “Elevation” post. Just sayin’.), and all of that…
As you may know, I am on vacation, and [...]

Joe The Plumber, You Should Have Never Questioned Comrade Obama »

I’m sitting here thinking that ACORN is committing in-your-face voter registration fraud all over the country,
Barack Obama paid ACORN more than $800,000 via one of their hundreds of subsidiaries operating out of the same address. The purpose: To “Get Out The Vote”. He trained early little ACORNS when they were just little nuts in Chicago–and [...]

MSNBC Lets a Little Real News Peek Through »

In Friday’s First Read on MSNBC, Mark Murray filed a roundup that has me completely shocked! A little anti-Obama news actually saw the light of day. They’d better hurry and shackle Mark Murray before he gets completely out of control. Here are the pertinent tidbits:
Murray refers to a report coming out of [...]

Hallelujah!! »

Good news, All Ye Faithful! The Obama Camp has designed religious paraphernalia on which you can spend your hard-earned dollars! Now you can show your adoration for your faith and for Obama all at the same time! Oh, wait - was that redundant?? At God-O-Meter, the new items available were revealed. Oh, yes.
Up first, [...]

A Little Recap »

OK, so three out of four of my siblings are Obama people. I don’t know about the fourth - I don’t think he has decided yet. My mother, a STAUNCH Hillary supporter, who is furious with the DNC (and has told them so because of the vote theft, etc.) says she doesn’t know where she [...]

“Show Me Who Your Friends Are” Or “It Takes One To Know One” »

Here’s a Nifty introductory photo of Supporters of the Islamic militant group Hamas as they burn the flags of Israel and the U.S. during a demonstration at the Rafah refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip, Monday, Oct. 13, 2003.

Yesterday we read about the $28,500 in contributions to the Obama Campaign by two Palestinian members [...]

Campaign Disclosures: This Is Not The Rafah Georgia I Knew »

No sir, Senator. There is no Rafah in the great state of Georgia. Rafah is a town in the Gaza Strip. But you already knew that right? Or is Rafah in one of those left-over states out of the 57?
Now, Barky, let’s talk, mmmmmmkay??? Did you already know that taking money from Palestinian citizens is [...]

Another Obama Celebrity Endorsement: N.Korea’s Dear Leader »

I’m telling you, Barack Obama is hot.
First Hamas endorsed him and then Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez endorsed him.
And now North Korea’s Kim Jong-Il AKA “Dear Leader” has endorsed him too.
Dear Leader seems particularly ecstatic at the thought of an Obama Presidency, because Obama is going to sit down and talk with him without pre-conditions or anything. [...]

Illinois Combat Veterans: Obama Wasn’t Available To Meet With Us »

Looks like Barack Obama ignored another constituency when the cameras weren’t rolling. And now Democrats will have to pay. This is why we must nominate Hillary Clinton, our only chance to beat John McCain in the fall.
Below is a Commercial made by a nonpartisan not for profit organization named Vets for Freedom Political [...]

Barack Obama–Why Iran but Not Hamas? [Updated] »

Barack Obama, why do you insist on talking without pre-conditions to a nation that has attacked us while insisting on pre-conditions before talking to an elected terrorist group that has not directly attacked the United States? I am inclined to say this does not make sense, but then I ask: Who’s your daddy? [...]

Barack’s Waffle And Little Sausage »

I was extremely disappointed to find that Barack Obama’s half-eaten waffle had been offered on Ebay, only to hear that the owner of the diner where Waffling Barack left behind his half-eaten breakfast requested that they remove the listing.
I felt I had let my readers down by not jumping on Barack’s Ebay waffle sooner. [...]
