To Paraphrase: In the 1940’s we fought the evil creation behind the “master race”; in 2014 we are fighting the evil creation behind the “master faith”.  Bibi pulled no punches in his speech to the United Nations today….

WASHINGTON DC – Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, Maryland Democrat, said Monday that he doesn’t believe lawmakers should cut their six-week break short to vote on authorizing military strikes in Syria.
“I think that the fact is that this matter will be considered in the lame-duck. Whether it will be passed in the lame-duck, I don’t know,” Mr. Hoyer said at a National Press Club event in D.C. “I do not believe it’s necessary nor do I think it’ll happen that we’ll come back before the lame duck, but it is my expectation we will start debate give the circumstances that exist today. […]
Many lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have said lawmakers need to return before then to vote to give the president authorization to strike the Islamic State in Syria. Speaker John A. Boehner said Sunday that he would consider bringing lawmakers back to D.C. early if President Obama asked him to. (read more)

(Reuters) – Turkish tanks and armoured vehicles took up positions on a hill overlooking the besieged Syrian border town of Kobani on Monday as shelling by Islamic State insurgents intensified and stray fire hit Turkish soil, a Reuters correspondent said.
At least 15 tanks were positioned, some with their guns pointed towards Syrian territory, near a Turkish military base just northwest of Kobani. Plumes of smoke rose up as shells hit both the eastern and western sides of Kobani. (more…)

When we initially started looking into the Hannah Graham abduction, along with others we noted some similarities to other cases of missing/murdered women along a very specific corridor.  Today CBS is exclusively reporting a forensic match between Matthew and a 2009 murder case of Morgan Harrington…..

This link is critical, because if indeed Jesse Matthew is positively linked to the abduction and murder of Morgan Harrington he automatically becomes linked to a 2005 sexual assault and rape case.   The DNA from murdered Harrington matches the unsolved 2005 rape case.  That would indicate at least THREE victims during a span of around 10 years.

This has the high potential to identify Jesse Matthew as a serial abduction and murder suspect.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — The man suspected of abducting 18-year-old Hannah Graham from the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville, Virginia earlier this month is forensically linked to the 2009 disappearance of 20-year-old Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington, sources close to the investigation confirmed to CBS 6 reporter Laura French.

Those sources indicated that forensic evidence belonging to Graham suspect Jesse Matthew Jr., matched forensic evidence collected during the Harrington investigation. (more…)

Um, yeah, we’ll take “BS” for $1000 Alex….

WASHINGTON DC – Nearly eight months ago, some of President Obama’s senior intelligence officials were already warning that ISIS was on the move. In the beginning of 2014, ISIS fighters had defeated Iraqi forces in Fallujah, leading much of the U.S. intelligence community to assess they would try to take more of Iraq.

But in an interview that aired Sunday evening, the president told 60 Minutes that the rise of the group now proclaiming itself a caliphate in territory between Syria and Iraq caught the U.S. intelligence community off guard. Obama specifically blamed James Clapper, the current director of national intelligence: “Our head of the intelligence community, Jim Clapper, has acknowledged that, I think, they underestimated what had been taking place in Syria,” he said.

I can’t think what that “other side” might be, which would soften or add value to the sentiment afforded to the guy who decapitated his co-worker… but, ok.
