Rigtht Wing Israelis kill terrorist...and we're better off



The following was sent to me by Larry P who noted that it is from the on line edition of the "Daily Express" but I don't have a link.

WHY CAN'T THIS COUNTRY FOLLOW ISRAEL'S LEAD?
Friday February 19,2010
By Chris Roycroft-Davis

EXCUSE me for not sending flowers to the funeral of the terrorist the Israelis bumped off in Dubai. Unlike the bleeding hearts in the liberal media I’m not shedding any tears.

As military chief of terrorist group Hamas, Mahmoud al Mabhouh had the blood of many Israeli soldiers and civilians on his hands. He was in charge of smuggling rockets and grenades into the Gaza Strip so his murderous gangs could lob them into Israel.

He could hardly complain when a hit squad from Mossad, the Israeli security service, brought his life to a swift end. To say he had it coming is an understatement.

So why such a fuss about his execution? Why has the Foreign office twisted the arm of the Israeli ambassador? And possibly the most crucial question of all: whose side are we on, the terrorists or those with the courage to stand up to them?

The Israelis don’t mess about, they don’t sit back and take it. You kill one of them and they will kill you. And afterwards they won’t explain, they won’t apologise, they won’t even deny it.

WORLD opinion means nothing – what ever London, Washington or Damascus may say the Israelis are convinced that they are right. An eye for an eye is the most basic concept of natural justice, dating back 4,000 years to Babylonian times and is promoted three times in the old Testament. Even in the New Testament Jesus says: Those who take up the sword shall die by the sword.

Did Mahmoud al-Mabhouh reflect on that as he checked in to room 230 at his posh hotel in Dubai? He was the man behind the kidnapping and killing of two Israel soldiers 21 years ago; he had been smuggling arms into the Gaza Strip; he was believed to be in Dubai to buy more weapons from an Iranian dealer. If Mossad agents came to call they were hardly there to inquire after his health.

Unlike Britain, Israel doesn’t tolerate an enemy within. It doesn’t give those who hate them free housing and welfare handouts. It doesn’t let the right of free speech enable them to preach murder on its streets.

Retribution is a vital part of Israel’s psyche. After the Second World War the Israelis spent half a century tracking down evil Nazis. When Israeli athletes were murdered at the 1972 Olympics their Palestinian killers were hunted around the world and eliminated: one by a bomb in his bed, another by a booby-trapped phone.

Who can forget the electrifying raid on Entebbe in 1976 when Israeli special forces stormed a hijacked airliner, killed the terrorists and freed all but three of the hostages? It was a salutary lesson to the world.

You’d think that Britain of all countries would understand the need to pull no punches with those who have sworn to be your enemies. That’s what the SAS did in Northern Ireland for more than 30 years, taking out IRA members before they could perpetrate further outrages. It is what our special forces did in Iraq and are doubtless doing in Afghanistan.

It is what the SAS should be doing today in Somalia, where British yacht couple Paul and Rachel Chandler are being held by pirates. Can you imagine the Israelis allowing two of their people to suffer so long in some fly-blown African hellhole?

Israel has no reason to be ashamed of its actions. As Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman points out: “our security activity is conducted according to the very clear, very cautious and responsible rules of the game.” rule No 1 of course in any security activity is kill or be killed.

Where Britain has a right to be upset, however, is the way the Israelis have carried out ID theft on the passports of six of our citizens. It’s not the first time they’ve done it and last time they promised they wouldn’t do it again.

One Foreign office source says Britain could cut ties with Mossad if the Israelis have been “found to be acting against British interests”. You might think executing the would terrorist might be precisely in our interests but the career diplomats take a loftier view.

Gordon Brown says Israel has questions to answer about nicking our passports but the implication is that Britain wouldn’t be in the least bit put out if the Israeli hit squad had used fake documents from Libya, Japan, Peru – in fact anywhere other than Britain.

BROWN even has the cheek to spout that “a British passport is an important part of being British”. This from a Prime Minister whose policy was to welcome millions of immigrants so he could socially engineer the country to be less British and more likely to vote Labour.

We should take no lessons either from the BBC, which for too long refused to call Hamas suicide bombers “terrorists” and hid behind weasel words like “radicals” and “militants”. Its anti-Israel bias is clear today when BBC News pontificates that Israel “may have scored a costly own goal” by using British identities for what it calls “nefarious activities”.

Make no mistake, I think a British passport is the most valuable document in the world and I don’t like it being used to gain illegal entry to another country. But my top priority will always be security and the world is undoubtedly more secure now Hamas has lost another murderer from its ranks.

Full body scan solution


I have known my friend Bill T for over 40 years and I can testify to his ability to find unique and cost effective solutions to problems. I still remember his alternative method for boring holes in wooden floors.

He sent me the following. I shall call my elected officials Monday.

Here's a solution to all the controversy over full-body scanners at the airports.

Have a booth that you can step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have on you.

It would be a win-win for everyone, and there would be none of this crap about racial profiling and this method would eliminate a long and expensive trial. Justice would be quick and swift. Case Closed!

This is so simple that it's brilliant. I can see it now: you're in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter an announcement comes
over the PA system:

"Attention standby passengers we now have a seat available on flight number..."

Loose chickens


Residents of a Belgian town are to be offered chickens as part of a campaign to reduce household waste.

The town of Mouscron has 50 pairs of chickens that it will distribute to families with sufficient space to keep the birds in their gardens.

Those who take part in the scheme must agree not to eat the chickens for at least two years, or to give them away.

Local officials are stressing that applicants could gain a supply of free, fresh eggs.

The town council's environment department is building on the success of a previous distribution of chickens, officials told Belgium's La Derniere Heure.

The aim of the project is to publicise alternative methods of waste management.

Residents included in the project will be given basic instruction on chicken-keeping.

I do hope that includes instructions to not look for their gum should they drop it.

Treason and the Left



It seems that every time I turn around some Leftie is calling someone who says nasty things about Obama and/or his policies a racist or a traitor who has just committed treason.

The racist claim cannot be proven in any case but the treason bit is pretty straightforward. From the Constitution:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

Now, the last person I think that fit that description in a very public way was Jane Fonda who went to North Vietnam and made statements of support for them. The government had an open and shut case against her but no one had the guts to charge, try, convict and hang her.

Pity.

But there were plenty of others as this interview of the North Vietnam general Bui Tin shows:

Q: Was the American antiwar movement important to Hanoi's victory?

A: It was essential to our strategy. Support of the war from our rear was completely secure while the American rear was vulnerable. Every day our leadership would listen to world news over the radio at 9 a.m. to follow the growth of the American antiwar movement. Visits to Hanoi by people like Jane Fonda, and former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and ministers gave us confidence that we should hold on in the face of battlefield reverses. We were elated when Jane Fonda, wearing a red Vietnamese dress, said at a press conference that she was ashamed of American actions in the war and that she would struggle along with us.

Q: Did the Politburo pay attention to these visits?

A: Keenly.

Q: Why?

A: Those people represented the conscience of America. The conscience of America was part of its war-making capability, and we were turning that power in our favor. America lost because of its democracy; through dissent and protest it lost the ability to mobilize a will to win.

Q: How could the Americans have won the war?

A: Cut the Ho Chi Minh trail inside Laos. If Johnson had granted [Gen. William] Westmoreland's requests to enter Laos and block the Ho Chi Minh trail, Hanoi could not have won the war.

Link

So until something like that happens, dear Lefties, please be so kind as to quit talking through your nether regions and join the rest of us in the real world.

Secret Code

After a President has been in office for one year it is customary for the last President to send a note of congratulations to the new one.

So yesterday when the note came from Bush to Obama,the President was somewhat troubled because it was written in code and all it said was:

370H-SSV-0773H

This troubled him as he had always heard from his peers how former president Bush was perceived to have been scholarly challenged.

So he took the note to his wife. She was unable to decipher it.

They called in the VP, and he was unable to decode the message. They called in the chief of staff and the head of Secret Service detail and they were unable to determine the meaning of the note.

Next he called in the head of the Senate and Speaker of the House.

They both were mystified by the meaning of the coded message.

Now there was complete panic in the Oval Office.

They called all of their contacts in the media and sent copies of the note to all of them, and not one was able to come up with an answer.

A special emergency meeting was called by the staff.

All branches of the military, counter intelligence, CIA, FBI were called
in, and the best minds were unable crack the code.

After a sleepless night, a now humbled President Obama picked up the phone and called the former president, and asked him the meaning of the note.

George Bush chuckled and replied:

"Bud ..... you're holding it upside down!"

Who does Obama think he is, Clinton?


The State Department has lifted a ban on exports of night-vision equipment that was imposed in 2007 on a U.S. company caught selling sensitive defense articles to China and other countries without a license.

Meanwhile, two key U.S. senators on Tuesday wrote to Gen. James L. Jones, the White House national security adviser, warning that the Obama administration's plan to loosen controls on exports of sensitive goods and technology could undermine national security.

If Spring comes, can Summer be far behind?


I mean Winter has come and stayed, and I don’t care what Shelley or Algore said, Spring has dithered so we have blathered, mostly about Obamie and radical Muslims. The first a dullard who doesn’t deserve the attention he commands. The second a bunch of killers who don’t get the attention they deserve.

I am ready for Spring and less politics and the despair that looking at where we are that brings, and more buttercups and more daffodils and more roses.

It is time to break up the ground and look at the seed catalogs and look up the average last frost day and think of setting out Better Boys and Better Girls a few weeks after the cabbage and onions and lettuce have been set. And planting more sunflowers at the edge of the yard for the squirrels and birds of next winter.

And where will we be then? Only a year ago we were deluged with the wit, wisdom and knowledge of The Chosen. Now 55% know what we knew then and disapprove of his professorial ways and that number will increase over the next year. A year ago man made Global Warming was widely accepted and had all the appearance of a landslide and yet we now have the cart being turned, although the ignorant ones still blather. It is the one good thing the English press has done for us.

Yet the economy still is in ruins. The price of oil has gone above $80 based on speculation that we may not be completely bankrupt this Summer and the jobless claims have spiked again. The headlines say that consumer confidence is the lowest since 1983 and all our politicians can think about is fixing a healthcare bill that most of us do not want fixed and spending money to create jobs.

What hogwash. How can something that has nothing create anything?

In Sunday School class this week the teacher brought up the word “reasonable.”

And it is a very good word because it defines what free people should base their lives on. It is reasonable for us to doubt Global Warming when scientists say there has not been any for 15 years and that they have lost the data. Indeed they seem to be unable to point to a datum yet they appear as unembarrassed as a whore hawking her wares on a street corner.

Societal wars are always fought on the edges. The Muslims do not come demanding that they be allowed to establish Sharia law. They come demanding that they be allowed to follow Sharia law as their religious right. That sounds reasonable until you consider that they moved to our country and that by doing that they are making us follow Sharia law.

“Reasonable” defines so very much. I have never gotten into trouble doing reasonable things. I have always gotten into trouble doing unreasonable things.

T.S. Elliott wrote:


APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers.



Some say that this is true because the old give up the fight after months of Winter. They have no energy left and slip away into that unknown night.

I say they see Summer coming and are just now ready to be part of it rather than being in it.

Yes, they really are watching us


Harriton High School student Blake Robbins and his parents, Michael and Holly Robbins, filed a federal civil rights lawsuit Tuesday against the district, its board of directors and McGinley. They accused the school of turning on the webcam in his computer while it was inside their Penn Valley home, which they allege violated wiretap laws and his right to privacy.

The suit, which seeks class-action status, alleges that Harriton vice principal Lindy Matsko on Nov. 11 cited a laptop photo in telling Blake that the school thought he was engaging in improper behavior. He and his family have told reporters that an official mistook a piece of candy for a pill and thought he was selling drugs.


Link

So the school switches on the camera, sees a kid give someone a piece of candy and immediately decides that he's a drug dealer.

Blooming wonder they didn't call 911 and have the police knocking down the front door of his home.

Thank goodness he wasn't caught reading a Bible. Then they probably would have called 911.

This is just so wrong in so many ways.

And it proves again that the education system in this country has a woeful lack of common sense.

BTW dear chums. Maybe we should start finding the webcan lens on our computers and placing a piece of masking tape over it.... You never know in todays world.

General Motors...meet the new boss...just like the old boss


NEW YORK (AP) -- General Motors Co. CEO Ed Whitacre will receive a salary of $1.7 million this year, plus stock awards that will bring his total pay package to $9 million at a later date, the automaker said Friday.

In a surprise announcement, GM also said former CEO Fritz Henderson has been rehired as a consultant. Henderson, who was forced out of the job in December, will work 20 hours a month and will be paid $59,090 a month, the company said.

Whitacre's total compensation is larger than Henderson's when he was CEO. Henderson received a total pay package worth nearly $5.5 million.

Whitacre's pay package includes a cash salary of $1.7 million that took effect Jan. 1. It also includes $5.3 million in stock awarded in increments starting in 2012, plus another stock award worth $2 million. The details, including the timing, of the $2 million stock award still need to be worked out, a GM spokeswoman said.

GM is 60 percent owned by the federal government and has received $52 billion in federal aid. The company plans to repay as much of the money as possible by issuing stock to the public, possibly as early as this year.


Link

Now let me see. GM had to be bailed out or go under and now the new boss is just like the old boss.

Over paid beyond belief.

And to make it worse, the new boss needs the old boss to tell him what to do at a rate of $3000 an hour...

This is pure embarrassment to free enterprise. It is pure crap.

And it is a prime example of how the people at the top are being protected.

With the single exception of a '92 Ford Ranger I have driven GM for 30 plus years

I am done with'em. My next car will be a Ford, Japanese or Korean product.

The relentless and desperate efforts to justify anything Sarah Palin does is reaching fever pitch among some here. The winter Olympics should include the jumping through hoops and mind-boggling distances that our Sarahphiles here have obsessively had to stretch the truth in their obsessive compulsion of Sarah-worship.

Down Syndrome Actress attacks Palin

A Family Guy voice actor, Andrea Friedman, who played a role in a recent controversial episode of the Fox animated comedy, has hit back at criticism from former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin.

Professional actor Andrea Friedman, who has Down Syndrome, fired back at criticism leveled at the comedy by Sarah Palin and her family after a joke made on the show.

Yes. Down's Syndrome. That's a real knee slapper. Hahahahahahahahahaha

What jerks these people are.

Professional actor Andrea Friedman, who has Down Syndrome, fired back at criticism leveled at the comedy by Sarah Palin and her family after a joke made on the show.

In the Family Guy episode, guest starring Andrea Friedman titled “Extra, Large, Medium,” the show appeared to mock Sarah Palin’s son Trigg’s Down Syndrome.

In the episode, one of the show’s characters, Chris Griffin, dates a woman who apparently suffers from Down Syndrome, voiced by Andrea Friedman. The episodes makes comparisons to 2 year old Trigg Palin.

The Family Guy character who is played by Andrea Friedman tells Chris Griffin: “My dad’s an accountant, and my mom’s the former governor of Alaska.”

Later, the former GOP Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin said the Family Guy show “really isn’t funny” and was the work of “cruel, cold-hearted people.”

Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol also wrote that Family Guy writers were “mocking my brother (son?) and my family,” and called them “heartless jerks.”

39-year-old actor Andrea Friedman has since fired back at Palins remarks: “I guess former Governor Palin does not have a sense of humor. I thought the line “I am the daughter of the former governor of Alaska” was very funny. I think the word is “sarcasm.”

“In my family we think laughing is good. My parents raised me to have a sense of humor and to live a normal life.”


Link

Yes indeed, laughing at mentally challenged children and their families..... I mean that is just a scream, eh?

Down's Syndrome comes, like most diseases, in different levels.

Often Down syndrome is associated with some impairment of cognitive ability and physical growth, and a particular set of facial characteristics.

Individuals with Down syndrome tend to have a lower than average cognitive ability, often ranging from mild to moderate developmental disabilities. A small number have severe to profound mental disability.


Link

Ms Friedman appears to have a much lower level of the disease than many others.

And she has no idea as to the level that Palin's child suffers from the disease. Yet she attacks Palin for being outspoken about our need to be more supportive of challenged children.

And that's a shame. In years past children such as this were shunted away to "homes" where their care, in many cases, was marginal and the child's very existence was forgotten and denied. Even the Kennedy's had a daughter that was only vaguely acknowledged by the family and the press.

In today's world they are often aborted.

So Ms Friedman, probably pushed on by PDS'ers, has figuratively bitten the hand that has taken the disease nationally and has the ability to improve research and support.

Her excuse is that she has acted in ignorance.

What is the Left's excuse?

Caution: Sarahphobics in the area.

But they aren't really watching us


just figuring out how.

BOSTON (Feb. 18) -- Physicist Albert-László Barabási can guess where you will be tomorrow at 3 p.m. And where you'll be Saturday night at 8. In fact, given enough data, he can predict your location at any time, with an average 93 percent accuracy. But don't worry. He's not watching you. In fact, his work shouldn't be cause for alarm so much as existential distress.

In a new paper published in the Feb. 19 issue of Science, the Northeastern University physicist and his colleagues describe how they used data from 50,000 anonymous cell phone users to study human mobility, or where we are and when. Their work reveals that our movements follow a pattern, whether we are homebodies or frequent fliers.

Obama's economy continues to drop as inflation rises..


That, as Jimmy "I hate Israel" Carter taught us, is called stagflation. As prices rise you have less money!

Now Obamie says we are spending too much... but doesn't know what to do...

Makes me want to yell, "Hey Dummy! When I spend too much I quit spending!"

But then I didn't graduate from an elite university and become a community organizer.

Guess I'm just uneducated.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The number of U.S. workers filing new applications for unemployment insurance unexpectedly surged last week, while producer prices increased sharply in January, raising potential hurdles for the economic recovery.

Initial claims for state unemployment benefits increased 31,000 to 473,000, the Labor Department said on Thursday. That compared to market expectations for 430,000.

Another report from the department showed prices paid at the farm and factory gate rose a faster than expected 1.4 percent from December after a 0.4 percent gain in December, as higher gasoline prices and unusually cold temperatures helped boost energy costs.

"When you have PPI moving up and still no progress in the jobs situation, that doesn't bode well for continued improvement in equity prices," said Alan Lancz, president at Alan B. Lancz & Associates Inc in Toledo, Ohio.

Joe the Plumber is angry.

Well, Joe the Plumber feels that McCain used him after the press when postal over his question to The Chosen One that resulted in Obamie telling The Only Truth He Spoke in the campaign.

That he wanted to spread the wealth around.

And McCain did, to the extent that McCain's references to what Joe said fueled the flames of hatred against Joe by the Left and their handmaidens and water boys in the press.

Within hours the claims about Joe multiplied faster than a strep infection and proved just as hard to stamp out. Among the many was:

His name is not Joe. Wrong.

Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher.


Link

The Lefties had a grand time with Joe. In the article linked to we find this claim by Amblinder:

His voter registration application misspells his name, btw


Of course that wasn't truthful, but hey! Joe dared corner Obamie so he must be punished!

Let's look at some facts:

“We have his named spelled W-O, instead of W-U,” Linda Howe, executive director of the Lucas County Board of Elections, said in a telephone interview. “Handwriting is sometimes hard to read. He has never corrected it in his registration card.”


Uh Linda.... Why would he correct anything? You can't read his handwriting. Who knew? Have you called him up? Left a message? Sent a letter?

"Dear Joe..... Oh How I hate to write.... But I can't read your signature... Will you help me get it right?"

Link

And in the madness and desire to attack Joe that followed his question to The Chosen one, some state employees over reached and and wound up paying the price after multiple complaints and investigations.

Wurzelbacher said the (state) employees accessed his personal information to retaliate against him for speaking out against Obama.

Jones-Kelley and Williams have resigned, while Thompson lost his job after Inspector General Tom Charles found that confidential personal information was improperly accessed.

Attorney General Richard Cordray, a Democrat, said he is obligated to defend the employees because the lawsuit claims the illegal actions were done in the course of their work for the state.


Link

And the most amazing thing of all, while the press and Leftie bloggers tore at Joe in all their fury, not one of them asked Obamie for his birth certificate....who paid for his trip to Muslim countries after his first year in school... how he jumped from a small state school in California to an elite school... why he associated with the self-identified terrorist William Ayers...

They wound up knowing more about a plumber from Ohio than they did about a candidate for President of the United States.



Think about it.

And the press claims to not understand why they have lost respect and why newspapers are failing.
