1)  According to British officials, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has begun a process of getting support for airstrikes and build a case for military action, the Daily Mail reported.   (article August 22nd)

2)  President Obama’s warning to Syria that the use of chemical weapons would cross a “red line” for the administration drew criticism Tuesday …  The unusually direct U.S. warning on Syria’s weapons of mass destruction echoes discussion of the “red lines” that Iran must not cross in developing its disputed nuclear program.  Iran has carefully assembled nearly all the resources it needs to build a bomb without crossing the boundaries that the United States and others have drawn — such as the expulsion of international nuclear inspectors or the enrichment of uranium to levels that would fuel a nuclear bomb.   (article August 21st)

3)  Facing a stagnant economy and Republican attacks on his Middle East policy, President Obama appears to be losing some support among Jewish voters in the critical swing state of Florida, according to Jewish political activists and demographers. (more…)

KKTV.com – Court documents reveal that the victim of an alleged vicious sexual assault remembers some of the suspects telling her about being unhappy with the way they were treated in the United States. Five Iraqi nationals were arrested in connection with the case.

Two are charged with the crime while all five are charged as accessories with the crime. Some of the victim’s injuries were described by police as being “rarely seen.”

“I can tell you this is one of the most horrific sexual assaults I’ve seen in my career as a police officer,” said Lt. Howard Black with the Colorado Springs Police Department.

(Britainistan)  The parents of Shafilea Ahmed have been jailed for life after being convicted of her murder.  The 17-year-old went missing from her home in Warrington, Cheshire, in 2003 and her body was found in the River Kent in Cumbria six months later.

Iftikhar, 52, and Farzana Ahmed, 49, had denied her murder but the jury at Chester Crown Court returned guilty verdicts against them both.  Mr Justice Roderick Evans said they would both serve a minimum of 25 years.

The judge told them: “Your concern about being shamed in your community was greater than the love of your child.”

The couple suffocated Shafilea with a plastic bag after years of abuse.

After the trial. Det Supt Geraint Jones described the killing as a “vile and disgraceful act against someone they should have been very proud of”. (more…)

If this report is true, and an alliance is formed, two of the three countries needed to restore the Islamic Caliphate will be partnered.   The necessary “trinity” is Iran, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.   Prediction:  If radical Islamist elements in Egypt and Iran align they will turn their collaborative efforts toward destabilizing Saudi. 

Yemen below them, Bahrain beside them, and Kuwait above them, are all precariously balanced and ready to tip with minimal effort.

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s President Mohammed Morsi will attend a summit in Iran later this month, a presidential official said on Saturday, the first such trip for an Egyptian leader since relations with Tehran deteriorated decades ago.

The visit could mark a thaw between the two countries after years of enmity, especially since Egypt signed its 1979 peace treaty with Israel and Iran underwent its Islamic revolution. Under Morsi’s predecessor Hosni Mubarak, Egypt, predominantly Sunni Muslim, sided with Saudi Arabia and other Sunni-dominated Arab states in trying to isolate Shiite-led Iran.

Until now, contacts have been channeled through interest sections, a low-level form of diplomatic representation. In May last year, Egypt, which was ruled by an interim military council, expelled a junior Iranian diplomat on suspicion he tried to set up spy rings in Egypt and the Gulf countries. (more…)

On June 24th President Obama called newly elected Egyptian President Mohammad Morsi to congratulate him.   Since that time Morsi has taken some highly alarming action including:

• Announcing the Camp David Peace Accord with Israel would be re-evaluated.
• Firing the Egyptian Military Generals in charge of the Army, and placing himself in charge of the military.
• Firing the editors of Egyptian news publications and replacing them with his people.

Now a recent confirmation of how brutal things have become.   The Muslim Brotherhood is crucifying people in front of the Presidential Palace. (more…)

Some things President Obama does just make you shake your head in disbelief.   During the Iftar dinner Obama heaped praise on Huma Abedin the controversial Hillary aide, wife to disgraced penis-baring Congressman Anthony Weiner and daughter to radical Islamic Muslim Brotherhood supporters, for her “patriotism”. 

Meanwhile who does she sit with?   Read on….. 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama on Friday called Huma Abedin, a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, an “American patriot” after a group of Republican lawmakers accused her of having ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist political organization.

“She has been nothing less than extraordinary in representing our country and the democratic values that we hold dear,” Obama said at a White House Iftar dinner celebrating the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

“The American people owe her a debt of gratitude because Huma is an American patriot and an example of what we need in this country — more public servants with her sense of decency, her grace and her generosity of spirit.” […]

Abedin, a Muslim, was seated on Obama’s right at the dinner and appeared visibly moved as the president spoke to a room full of religious leaders, elected officials and diplomats. (more…)

This is why we cannot accept “decepticons” as representatives.  Anwar Sadat was assassinated by the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.   The terrorist organization was banned for almost 30 years before the “arab spring” created the window of opportunity for the radical islamist elements to rise once again.

Here you have a Republican, with little to no knowledge of the actual events within Egypt supporting an organization who just released known terrorists from prison.  Well, at least we assume his opinion is due to insufferable niavete’.  If not, then this guy is a stealth Islamofascist hiding in Californiastan...

Rep. David Dreier (R-Calif.), who chairs the House Democracy Partnership and witnessed Egypt’s historic presidential election firsthand in May, called on the United States to continue to work with Egypt as it continues its transition toward democracy, even though it is now led by the Muslim Brotherhood.

“Knowing of the harsh and deeply troubling rhetoric the Brotherhood has used over the years, many Americans rightly ask the question: Can we work with the newly elected leadership in Egypt?” he asked. “Should we continue to provide support to this government and the Egyptian people? What exactly does the Brotherhood stand for, and how will they lead?” (more…)

Something several weeks ago snagged my interest when I was reading an article about Olympic security being provided by a private company called G4S.   Over the past decade London has become the PC capitol of all things Islam.   It really is quite over-the-top.

Aptly nicknamed “Londonistan” by those who have watched the British Police being cursed at, spit upon, and forced to tolerate the most horrific physical and verbal assaults by entities of Muslim persuasion, who exhibit the most horrid of violent radical islamic tendencies.   Several recent examples have been cited over the year.

So the concern that struck a nerve for me was given the backdrop of politically correct fear would radical elements of Islam be able to infiltrate the security apparatus around the Olympic venue(s).   And, if so, is it worrisome that a Fort Hood style coordinated extremist attack would be possible.

Recently I read more articles about how short staffed the security contingents were and how they are being supported with 4,500 regular uniformed British Military soldiers.  Given the comments by Mitt Romney to this regard it seemed as if my concern was more than a little over worried paranoia on my part.  But still, probably nothing.

However, it is indeed a fact that London is infected with the Cultural Marxism of political correctness.  So a modicum of concern is not out-of-bounds given the shere magnitude of the security task being handled.   When I read this today, my spidey senses picked up a bit too, and I wonder if…..

LONDON OLYMPICS – An Olympic guard faces the sack for spitting at an Army hero drafted in to  boost security — and yelling: “Baby killer.”  The Asian G4S worker flipped as he patrolled an archery contest at Lord’s  cricket ground with the Afghan veteran.

A source said: “This security guard was ranting and raving at the soldier.  “He was trying to defuse the situation but the guard was going crazy. He spat  at the soldier and screamed at him. He was calling him a baby killer.

“He left the soldier in no doubt he meant he’d been responsible for children’s  deaths while serving in Afghanistan.

“Despite the provocation, the soldier remained ice cool and didn’t lose his  calm. (more…)
