Israel & Iran's Nuclear Capabilities: It Ain't Over Till It's Over
October 29, 2012
In the early morning of October 24th, an arms factory in South Khartoum, Sudan was bombed. It appears that the factory is the collaborative effort of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and the Sudanese government. This is backed up by reports published in the Arab media.
The supposition at this point is that they were IAF (Israeli Air Force) fighter-bombers that did the job. Why suppose that? Well, according to the history record, the IAF has made pre-emptive attacks for annihilating an enemy’s missiles in the early stages of a conflict. One example would be in June 2006 when the IAF obliterated 90% of Hezbollah's long-range missiles in the early hours of the Lebanon war.
Israel always acts in the defense of its citizens...and they have done so here, yet again...
Under the command of Tehran's draconian fist, the Revolutionary Guard built this factory and Israel destroyed it for dual reasons:
To destroy munitions headed for Gaza.
To send an unequivocal message to the Mad Mullahs that their facilities can be reached.
The IAF attack reportedly destroyed 200 tons of munitions including rockets intended for Gaza...you know for all those attacks on innocent Israeli citizens the Western media keeps missing...
Now the bombers flew 1,800-1,900 kilometers (1118-1180 miles) to reach the Sudanese arms factory, a distance longer than the 1,600 kilometers (994 miles) to the Iranian underground enrichment Fordo site.
See Ahjad...no worries...Israel actually CAN reach your nuclear facilities...while you're counting Halal sheep.
It's not over concerning Iran's plans...they are full speed ahead on their nuclear program. That's bad news for all the unicorn-embracing dreamers on the Left: Sanctions only work in Neverland.
And it's not over regarding Israel's last word on Iran's plans. One of these days, while Ahjad and his puppet masters are waiting for their messiah, Israel's last word on the matter will be heard...POOF!
So Tehran, don't get too comfy. It ain't over till it's over...over there.
Shalom through strength...

Mr. Peanut Lies Like A Rug OR Jimmy Dhimmi Won't Shut Up
October 24, 2012
I recently bought a huge bag of peanuts at a wholesale club...it was a great bargain, but I knew: There's always an old, rotten one in the bunch.
Eureka I found him: Former President Jimmy Carter...
Before President Obama, Jimmy (or as I like to refer to him: Mr. Peanut) held the title of most anti-Israel President in US history. But, unlike Mr. Obama, the majority of his anti-Israel behavior has taken place after his term as president...and continues to this day.
Case in point...on Monday, he told a Jerusalem news conference that the Israeli-PA peace process has reached a "crisis point" and that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government was not interested in pursuing a two-state solution. He asserted, as had the Obama administration in the past, that ongoing construction in Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria (which historically is Jewish land) and areas of Jerusalem restored to the capital as a result of the 1967 Six Day War, is making the prospect of peace less and less likely.
Gee, I guess the interminable rocket launching into Jewish civilian areas, targeting civilians, by the PA's ilk...well that's not a deterrent to peace at all?!
Mr. Peanut is, as are most Liberals, woefully ignorant on history and therefore dangerously erroneous on this issue. Some facts for your consideration, as I've stated in the past:
Since 1919, 'Palestinians' have perpetrated violence against the Jews. Haj Amin al-Husseini (Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and Yasser Arafat's ancestor) began to organize suicide groups of fedayeen ("one who sacrifices himself") in 1919 to attack Jews living in their ancestral homeland. There were no settlements.
The first Arab riots took place in Jerusalem during Passover 1920...and continued consistently, instigated by Mufti al-Husseini, into the 1930's. The Mufti also attempted to unleash chemical warfare against Jews in 1944. Sabotage squads ordered by the Mufti (and in co-operation with the Nazi SS) were parachuted behind Allied lines both in Europe and the Middle East. five parachutists were armed with maps of Tel Aviv, canisters of "a fine white powder," and instructions from the Mufti to dump the German-made chemicals into the Tel Aviv water system. A subsequent lab report revealed there was enough poison to kill 25,000 people in each container....and there were 10 containers. There were no settlements.
When the UN adopted the partition resolution on November 29, 1947, the Arabs declared a protest strike and instigated riots that claimed the lives of 62 Jews. The State of Israel did not yet even exist. There were no settlements.
In May 1948, seven Arab countries attacked the newly and legally reborn Israel: Egypt, Syria, Transjordan (now Jordan), Lebanon, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Yemen. The State of Israel was 1 day old when they were attacked from all sides. There were no settlements.
That's right: There were NO settlements.
So why the hue and cry about settlements being the problem? Because of the refusal to deal with the REAL issue. The collective Arab/Muslim world rejected Israel's right to exist before its rebirth. And to this day...nothing has changed except thousands of innocent Jews have been killed just for existing.
It's not about settlements. It's about Israel's right to exist.
Mr. Peanut is just parroting the same lies that others of his Jew-hating ilk have done for years...but it ultimately concerns Israel's existence. Even the PA doesn't believe in a two-state solution...they believe there should be only one state: And it should be ruled by them and NOT include Jews.
It's been bandied about that Mr. Peanut is on Hamas' payroll. His post-Presidential behavior could indeed imply that. His paltering concerning the Jewish State's behavior and history is a disgrace and further proof of his alliance. And his pathetic attempt at persuading Israeli voters away from Bibi Netanyahu is even further evidence of his paucity of love for the Jews.
The Old Presidential Goober always brings to mind the 'Found A Peanut' kiddie song. Finding a peanut is good. Finding an old, lying, anti-Semitic one? Not so much...
Shalom through strength...

Hollywood Women's War On Women
October 19, 2012
It's election season for sure...how can you know? The liars are out en masse...
If you've missed it (and if you watch any of the MSM stations you haven't), there's an Obama commercial out there that is knee-deep in paltering poop. But like lipstick on a pig, they put blatant lies coming out of pretty Tinseltown faces.
Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Reiner, are pretty proud of themselves. They put out an ad for Moveon.org...you know, George 'I hate capitalism but made my billions under it' Soros' baby. In an interview Rob stated: "A Romney/Ryan administration would eviscerate women's rights...We'd be talking about getting rid of abortion, birth control, access to health care screenings. As a husband, son and father, I can't stand by and let this happen."
How noble of him...except for one thing: They're all lies.
The funny thing about the Left is, they're so deluded they actually believe we'll obey their fantasies. And when we don't, because unlike their constituency, we are literate and are capable of discovering the truth...they blatantly lie. You see, we're dealing with children in adult bodies...they insist upon living in a real world under fantasy rules. And you know where that gets you? Well. just look at our economic situation...
Now back to the ad...3 Hollywood actresses, who were auditioning for Scare Tactic, I assume...
Eva
Longoria, Scarlett Johansson & Kerry Washington:
Eva,
"Mitt Romney is for ending funding for Planned Parenthood." Scarlett:
"including cancer screenings."
OK ladies...if you knew the following info, then shame on you:
Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion chain in the nation.
Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-Kan.), who has four adoptive children
of African, Hispanic, and Native American descent, said on Friday that
Planned Parenthood "was created for the sole purpose of killing
children that look like mine."
At a March 1925 international birth control gathering in New
York City, a speaker warned of the menace posed by the "black" and
"yellow" peril. The man was not a Nazi or Klansman; he was Dr. S.
Adolphus Knopf, a member of Margaret Sanger's American Birth Control League
(ABCL), which along with other groups eventually became known as Planned
Parenthood.
In this ad, Cancer Screenings are being used as an ancillary issue
in order to cover for the Abortion Mills. Doctors offices and clinics by the thousands
are just some of the places women can go for such screenings…AND BE COVERED.
Most women don't go to Planned Parenthood for cancer screenings...they go there to get
an abortion.
But here's the shocker from Lifesitenews.com: Planned Parenthood does NO cancer screenings. Whether she knew it or not, Ms. Johansson was telling a LIE. They are only licensed to do Level 1 manual breast exams, the same exam that a woman can do in the privacy of her own home. No mammograms are done at Planned Parenthood.
Scarlett: "we have republicans trying to redefine rape."
Now, shame on Scarlett...time to come out of character and into the real world. She was referring to Todd Akin's comment, taken out of context. As one of my guests, Matt Barber shared, Akin simply inelegantly stated something that was rooted in an old Guttmacher Institute study. Kinseyan, flawed science and they took his comment completely out of context…they ignored his apology and NOW they are LYING to the American women...when they KNOW the truth. They know Republicans are not trying to redefine rape.
If
you want to dip your toes into screenwriting, go ahead...but we're living in
reality, so get with it...
But wait...there's more...Kerry Washington – "he (Romney) said he’d overturn Roe V Wade."
Roe v Wade is flawed legislation. It was a contortion and an affront to the Constitution. And has murdered more WOMEN than any despot that has ever lived. And you, Ms. Washington, have a hand in that murder, by your support.
A human is a human from conception. A rose is a rose, Kerry. Renaming them does not change that fact. And Ms. Washington should be acutely aware of this because the 14th Amendment was used and abused in this effort to kill babies. That Amendment was created to ensure Blacks rights as citizens were secured. How disgusting was it to twist it to now KILL babies...including a large number of Black babies.
Would Ms. Washington, and her entourage, feel the same if someone advocated aborting puppies? Not likely.
But
make no mistake, Ms. Washington and your cohorts have the blood of those
innocents on their hands, by their support.
Shame on all of the Hollywood women, especially these 3, for lying to your fellow women. God gave you whatever beauty & talent you possess…but that does NOT give you the right to LIE and take part in the murder of unborn Americans…especially the murder of unborn women.
Halloween may be near, but it doesn't give these 3 the right to scare women and fabricate a War on Women, for political expediency. That's a repugnant exploitation of their gender.
Your
behavior, for all to see, is a disgrace to our gender...and to all artists that
respect truth in there work...and in their lives.

Sharia, Dems and The REAL War On Women
October 16, 2012
The barbaric assassination attempt on a 14-year old little lover of liberty in Pakistan this past week, should be no surprise to those of us who know what Sharia Islamic Law is all about. Taliban said of the child, "If she survives, we will shoot her again, because she is a secular-minded lady." The Taliban lives and rules by Sharia Islamic Law.
And Sharia Islamic Law is the TRUE War on Women.
But you'll never hear it from the MSM...nor the Dems. The push by the Obama regime, for the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) (who they called moderate) was not done blindly. Remember that this administration has an affinity for Marxist and Communist leaders...and a draconian set of laws (as the Muslim Brotherhood supports and intends to establish) like Sharia, is no problem.
Barry Rubin, director of the Global Research in International Affairs (GLORIA) Center, stated back when many of us were warning that the MB planned to take advantage of the so-called Arab Spring: "The Muslim Brotherhood’s aim is to restore a caliphate, a global religious government aimed at fighting the `non-believers’ (specifically Christians, Hindus, and Jews) and at spreading Islam. The group opposed the existence of any secular states in all Muslim societies throughout the Middle East."
And they have NEVER changed their tune, for to do so would be to go back on all they believe. So, they practice Taqiyya with all the naive useful idiots in the West...to get their dirty deeds done.
Let's remember what their impenitent credo is: "Allah is our objective; the Quran is our law, the Prophet is our leader; Jihad is our way; and death for the sake of Allah is the highest of our aspirations."
Here are just a few of the well-known 'treats' for women living (if that's what you choose to call it) under Sharia Law endorsed by the MB:
Muslim women must marry Muslim men.
Female sexual mutilation (circumcision) is mandatory.
Women may not leave their home without a husband’s permission.
Men may beat insubordinate wives (and today's technology provides video instruction).
Adultery is punished by death by stoning (definitely for women, sometimes for men).
A woman's testimony in court is only worth half that of a man. (Muslim value of women.)
Non-Muslim women married to Muslim men may not testify in Sharia courts. (Ah, equity.)
Rape must be verified by four male witnesses. (Talk about the deck being staked against a woman.)
Forced child marriage is allowed.
Are Obama and his ilk aware of these facts? Hey, one of their own 'invented' the internet, so it should be a painless pursuit if you want to know the truth...but the Dems have an aversion to that...
The evidence is overwhelming...just ask women who have experienced Sharia. Women like Noni Darwish, Wafa Sultan and Ayaan Hirsi Ali...they know the barbarism that is Sharia Islamic Law. A Law that the MB not only supports but intends to fully implement in Egypt.
And ALL with the aid and support of the man and party that ushered them into their iron-fisted throne room: Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrat Party.
So when you hear the inane babblings of the Dems falsely accusing the GOP of a War on Women...remember: They are treating the REAL War on Women dismissively because they unequivocally know their guilt for being enablers OF it, in the Muslim world.
Shalom through strength...

If Obama Continues: Stick A Halal Fork In Us, We're Dhimmi Done!
October
12, 2012
"If you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss. If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose. If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself."
~Sun Tzu, The Art of War
Our Military is, beyond far, the most efficacious force on our planet. A force for good. They are effective in their given missions because they know the art of war. They have learned well what the ancient Military General, Sun Tzu stated in his work, The Art of War, concerning ones enemies: You must know your enemy.
But perhaps for political expediency (and the sake of their careers), the top brass in the Pentagon are a wee bit confused...
In an peculiar Pentagon News Conference on May 10, 2012 (carried on C-SPAN), General Dempsey (Secretary of Defense Panetta by his side), personally attacked LTC Dooley. LTC Dooley, a subordinate Army officer who honorably served our Nation, was subsequently prohibited from publicly defending himself.
Once LTC Dooley’s name was exposed to the public, there were immediate threats to him and his family. By who pray tell? Why none other than those part of the peaceful religion/ideology known as Islam. The threats prompted security measures to be taken for the Dooley's protection.
Outstanding, Gen. Dempsey...why not place him in front of al Qaeda or the Libyan 'movie protesters' with a ginormous infidel target over his heart...and the hearts of his family?
The disciplinary measures against LTC Dooley included removal from his teaching assignment, withdrawal of an outstanding Officer Evaluation Report (OER) concerning the elective course he had been teaching at the Joint Forces Staff College (JFSC) entitled, Perspectives on Islam and Islamic Radicalism. However, the course CONTENT critical of Islam as an ideology and the guest speakers and their methods of instruction were ALL pre-approved by the JFSC years prior.
So, the curriculum was pre-approved by the JFSC and the DOD is STILL throwing a stellar officer under the bus? Why, exactly?
According to the Thomas More Law Center (representing LTC Dooley), it was due to a letter to the Department of Defense dated October 19, 2011 and signed by 57 Muslim organizations, demanding that all training materials that they judge to be offensive to Islam be "purged" and instructors "are effectively disciplined."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't all training courses and materials used to prepare our troops done so focusing on the enemy? If the materials in question were prepared based on the evidence studied and gathered from the enemy, then I don't give a flying Wallenda if 157 Muslim organizations don't like the characterization of Islam. All these enemy combatants have one ideology in common: Islam. If these Muslim groups have a problem with that, they should go to al Qaeda, the Taliban and a host of other Islamic terror groups and fight it out with them. Our Armed forces should ONLY be concerned with protecting the citizens of the United States of America...not mollifying the wounded feelings of a brood of individuals whose loyalties are dubious.
I believe Gen. Dempsey is reflecting the Panderer-in-Chief by his reprehensible behavior toward LTC Dooley...who has served this nation honorably. The fact that the Gen. did not step down when asked to perform such an egregious deed, goes to his character.
Our enemies surely know us as weak and compromised. If this administration is allowed to continue for another term...and if more actions, like that of General Dempsey, persist...you might as well stick a Halal fork in us: We're Dhimmi Done!

Gates Error: Applying Western Thinking To Islamic Zealots
October 9, 2012
Late this week, the former Sec. of Defense, Robert Gates, made a statement concerning a possible strike of the Iranian nuclear facilities. He said: "The results of an American or Israeli military strike on Iran could, in my view, prove catastrophic, haunting us for generations in that part of the world," but instead called for greater economic sanctions to be imposed on Tehran.
He continues, "That's our best chance going forward, to ratchet up the economic pressure and diplomatic isolation to the point where the Iranian leadership concludes that it actually hurts Iranian security and, above all, the security of the regime itself, to continue to pursue nuclear weapons."
With all due respect to the former Secretary...his thinking is flawed approaching this issue. He had the same mindset while he served at the Pentagon...which is a contributing factor to our current situation.
You cannot approach Islamic thinking with a Western mindset. The Iranian regime consists of religious zealots. They believe this is their calling. This is not like the Cold War with the former USSR, who were able to be deterred with MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction). These zealots consider it an honor to die for their god. And sanctions will hurt the people (who generally are pro-West)...but will it hinder the Mullahs from developing a nuclear weapon?
As we say in NYC: NEVA!
They are not concerned with the death of their people. They are ONLY concerned with ushering in their 12th Mahdi. And they believe that will occur when they have brought about chaos on the earth.
And a nuke fits the bill...
There was even a report from Israeli experts this week regarding the archaic state of the Iranian military. That is even MORE incentive to finish the nuclear process.
Mr. Gates is correct that a strike will not completely destroy their nuclear capabilities, BUT it will push them back several years from completion. Mr. Gates is not privy to all the Israeli intelligence available. I know this because the Israelis don't have loose lips concerning their military strategy.
The bottom line here: The Israelis have no other choice. They are the closest, most prime target. The regime views them as the 'Little Satan' and the US as the 'Great Satan'. Israel will be hit upon completion of a nuke.
A strike will set their plans back and perhaps, with a new leader of the Free World after November, the US will support the next Iranian Green Movement to overthrow the Mad Mullahs (since Obama refused to support the first one).
I appreciate Mr. Gates concern...but his advice is pernicious and has already aided Ahjad and the Crazed Clerics. Sanctions have not deterred them one iota in achieving their demonic dream...and stronger sanctions will have the same result.
The ancient Military General, Sun Tzu, in his work: The Art of War, said, "If you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss. If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose. If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself."
Mr. Gates and his ilk still do not know the enemy...

Anti-Jihad Is Anti-Muslim? Who's The Misunderstander Of Islam, Now?
October 5, 2012
Free Speech ain't what it used to be...especially if you happen to be from the civilized West. Last week, Pamela Geller launched a brilliant anti-Jihad campaign. You know Jihad...the Quranic dictate that brought us the carnage of 9-11 and 19,692 acts of deadly terror attacks since then.
Jihad is part of Sharia, which is strict Islamic law. According to the introduction to Reliance of the Traveller: A Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law, Jihad is required by Sharia, and worldwide Sharia is the goal of Jihad.
About 85% of Muslims are Sunni, and it is
usually recommended that they choose one of the 4 major schools to follow. Although it may seem that the fact
that there are
4 schools means Islamic law is not a pillar. But in reality, they are unanimous on 75% of the issues. When there is disagreement,
3 of the 4 schools are often in agreement.
How is that possible? Well, according to the Islamic doctrine of "ijma", or consensus, any time the Muslim world reaches a consensus, it cannot be wrong.
That doesn't seem likely since there are over a billion Muslims worldwide.
However, Muslim authorities have found a way around this in how they define
"consensus". Firstly, only the opinions of the highest religious authorities
count. Secondly, if at any time there is a consensus among the highest authorities, the dissenters can be ruled
"heretics" so their opinions don’t count. And voila...consensus!!
How utterly convenient.
According to the scholarly research of Robert Spencer, the 4 major schools agree concerning Jihad (via Citizens Against Sharia):
Maliki School, jurist Ibn Abi Zayd al-Qayrawani (d. 996):
"Jihad is a precept of Divine institution. Its performance by certain individuals may dispense others from it. We Malikis maintain that it is preferable not to begin hostilities with the enemy before having invited the latter to embrace the religion of Allah except where the enemy attacks first. They have the alternative of either converting to Islam or paying the poll tax (jizya), short of which war will be declared against them."
Hanbali School, jurist Ibn Taymiyya (d. 1328), popular with modern terrorists:
"Since lawful warfare is essentially jihad and since its aim is that the religion is God’s entirely and God’s word is uppermost, therefore according to all Muslims, those who stand in the way of this aim must be fought. As for those who cannot offer resistance or cannot fight, such as women, children, monks, old people, the blind, handicapped and their likes, they shall not be killed unless they actually fight with words (e.g. by propaganda) and acts (e.g. by spying or otherwise assisting in the warfare)."
Hanafi School, Hedaya, classic manual of Hanafi laws, 12th century:
"It is not lawful to make war upon any people who have never before been called to the faith, without previously requiring them to embrace it, because the Prophet so instructed his commanders, directing them to call the infidels to the faith, and also because the people will hence perceive that they are attacked for the sake of religion, and not for the sake of taking their property, or making slaves of their children, and on this consideration it is possible that they may be induced to agree to the call, in order to save themselves from the troubles of war… If the infidels, upon receiving the call, neither consent to it nor agree to pay capitation tax, it is then incumbent on the Muslims to call upon God for assistance, and to make war upon them, because God is the assistant of those who serve Him, and the destroyer of His enemies, the infidels, and it is necessary to implore His aid upon every occasion; the Prophet, moreover, commands us so to do."
Shafi’i School, scholar Abu’l Hasan al-Mawardi (d. 1058):
"The mushrikun [infidels] of Dar al-Harb (the arena of battle) are of two types: First, those whom the call of Islam has reached, but they have refused it and have taken up arms. The amir of the army has the option of fighting them…in accordance with what he judges to be in the best interest of the Muslims and most harmful to the mushrikun… Second, those whom the invitation to Islam has not reached, although such persons are few nowadays since Allah has made manifest the call of his Messenger…it is forbidden to…begin an attack before explaining the invitation to Islam to them, informing them of the miracles of the Prophet and making plain the proofs so as to encourage acceptance on their part; if they still refuse to accept after this, war is waged against them and they are treated as those whom the call has reached…"
But wait...there's more...
One of the earliest elevated Muslim legal scholars, Al-Tabari (838-923), explained that Surah 9:5 commanded the death of infidels if they would not embrace Islam, lest they should enter Mecca. Much later, Al-Mahili (d. 1486) also gives a clear indication of understanding Surah 9:5 offensively and aggressively:
"The chapter of Repentance was revealed to raise the level of security which the infidels enjoyed because Muhammad had earlier made a covenant with them not to kill them. After that, this verse was given (9:5) in order to free God and Muhammad from any covenant with the infidels. It gives them four months in which they will be protected, but by the end of the four months (the end of the grace period), the order comes: Kill the infidels wherever you find them. Capture them, besiege them in their castles and fortresses until they are forced to accept Islam or be killed."
Another of the most historically influential Muslim jurists and Quranic exegetists, al-Baidawi (d. 1286), gives a basic understanding of the doctrine, commenting on Surah 9:29:
"Fight Jews and Christians because they violated the origin of their faith and they do not believe in the religion of the truth (Islam), which abrogated all other religions. Fight them until they pay the poll-tax (Ziziya tax) with submission and humiliation."
The Islamic philosopher and historian, Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406), who was a jurist of the Maliki legal school affirmed the duty of Islam to gain power over other nations when he stated:
"In the Muslim community, the holy war is a religious duty, because of the universalism of the Muslim mission and (the obligation to) convert everybody to Islam either by persuasion or by force. Therefore, caliphate and royal authority are united in Islam, so that the person in charge can devote the available strength to both of them at the same."
Conclusion: Violent Jihad is the responsibility/duty of the faithful Muslim, if infidels refuse to convert. Therefore, those who purport that Jihad is violent are correct. And those who claim Jihad peaceful are the TRUE misunderstanders of Islam.
Now, back to the anti-Jihad campaign...
If you do not live or work in NYC, where the 9-11 terror attacks took place...you may not have viewed the message Pamela and American Freedom Defense Initiative published, which falls unequivocally under free speech (and was confirmed so, by the courts): "In Any War Between the Civilized Man and the Savage, Support the Civilized Man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad."
It does not mention Muslims. It does not mention the Quran.
YET, even publications like the NY Post and news networks like FoxNews Channel (via Jamie Colby) treated it like kryptonite, relinquishing their ability to reason for the paltering prose of the Soft Jihadists (those who support using our laws against us to defeat us for the sake of Islam, aka Lawfare).
What a shande un a charpe (a shame and a disgrace)...and truly out of character for those media outlets.
It's time for those who purport to be 'civil', to now behave in an urbane manner and cease to slander the character of a woman (Pamela Geller) who does more to protect women trapped under the draconian fist of Sharia than any women's rights group (who do zilch). And instead, deal with the savages who torch, assault, eviscerate and slaughter innocents because they have a boo-boo on their thin Islamic skin.
As Socrates said: "When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser."
Obviously, the LOSERS are on the side of the Jihadists.
Shalom through strength...

It was the cartoon heard round the world. No it's not the Muhammed one with a bomb under his turban. It was a clever graphic, reminiscent of the Looney Toons cartoons...but it made an explosive point...
Iran has lit a sizable fuse...it's 70% burned...the World community better cut it off before it reaches its convulsive conclusion.
And what's that conclusion? Israeli PM Binyamin 'Bibi' Netanyahu astutely quoted the great scholar of the Middle East, Prof. Bernard Lewis, regarding MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) and how it was successful with Russia, but with the Iranian Mullah's, religious zealots who are concerned little with survival, "mutually assured destruction is not a deterrent—it's an inducement."
Therefore, waiting till the midnight hour should be left to Wilson Pickett...
Unlike the former Soviet Union...who didn't believe in an afterlife so they were not too eager to leave this one...the Mad Mullah's and their puppet Ahjad are religious zealots. They believe they were chosen to usher in their messiah who will arrive when they have created chaos on the earth. I think a big ball of burning gas should accomplish that...and the crazy clerics concur.
The illustration that Bibi brought to the UN to share, I believe, was for those who have difficulty recognizing reality. And the framing of the facts displayed the urgency.
I believe that the audience was even more stolid than the PM may have assumed. My instruction would have been...break the ampoule and place it under your nostrils...breathe deeply. Now, Iran is making a BIIIIIG BOOM. When they're finished, it will not only hurt your ears and blow your mind...the name 'crispy critters' won't just be the name of a defunct cereal.
For being so specific and illustrating the facts for the dense...PM Bibi Netanyahu was able to enlighten a few more minds in this dimly lit dhimmi world. Our current leadership may continue to refuse to do a man's work...but the rest of the West may have to take the reigns...until a true leader replaces the Poltroon-in-Chief.
As far as Bibi goes...he not only comprehends the bomb...he be da bomb, as well!
Shalom through strength...
