The Chicago Mumbai connection!

Fresh charges against Headley




US charges Chicago man in 2008 Mumbai attack: He also tried to attack the Danish newspaper that published the Muhammed cartoons: Two days ago I republished by coincidence the cartoons of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad published in early October 2005 in a Danish newspaper as they outraged Muslim’s around the world and that was only one of the many things we keep doing to seemingly taunt Islam.


I will not show the cartoons but they seem funny and innocent enough compared to what we see in all our newspapers in regard to our Religious, Political, and world leaders but to Muslim’s real or feigned they are an affront. Therefore if you want to see them you can see them here

I am only mentioning them again here because of the Chicagoan arrested for involvement in the 2008 Mumbai attack in India as you will remember the attack in Mumbai, India that killed 166 people. I am sure I am a bit jaded and naïve even though we have long heard of the active recruitment of American Muslim’s to perform terrorism and have had some mentioned and some are still on the loose.

That said, this is the first I have heard of an American’s involvement of the Mumbai attack! I was focused on Pakistan but now U.S. prosecutors have accused David Headley of performing surveillance between 2006 and 2008 for the Mumbai rampage on hotels and a Jewish center and among those killed were six Americans.

He even took pictures and video of some places hit in the attacks as well as the port where the attackers landed by boat. I know he was born in the US but was raised in Pakistan by his Pakistani Father but I take personal affront as an American with his involvement.

After his trips to India, Headley traveled to Pakistan to turn over the results of his surveillance and, in early 2008, he took boat trips into the Mumbai harbor at the direction of his Lashkar contacts, according to court documents. His Lashkar and connections with a retired Pakistani military officer I find troubling.

As you know, In November 2008, 10 attackers launched their assault on various targets in Mumbai, including several where Headley had conducted surveillance. Targets scouted out by Headley included the Taj Mahal hotel, the Oberoi hotel, the Leopold Cafe, the Nariman House and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus train station and you know the results. US charges Chicago man in 2008 Mumbai attack
Of the ten who carried out the attack all but one were killed. The lone survivor should also pay with his life. Headley’s surveillance was integral to the death and terror inflicted in Mumbai. 166 dead and the countless surviving family and friends will be affected for ever. Give him his reward!

Turkey's moves towards Iran disconcerting United States: Can President Barack Obama still count on Turkey? Yes he can!

Turkey's moves towards Iran concerning United States

Can President Barack Obama still count on Turkey?

We just discussed this! We need Turkey, the EU needs Turkey, the world needs Turkey. However the US and the EU as you know has long frustrated Turkey. Supposedly she is turning towards Iran but while we tighten sanctions and money Iran is using Turkey to fill the void but in the end Iran as you know will go her own way and Turkey will stay with us.

I again reiterate the whole story: Turkey's future is tied to a pipeline!
It really drives me crazy but the more you research the more you realize all throughout the middle east, Georgia, Afghanistan, everywhere, all the wars and controversy can be tied back to gas and oil. Russia's interest in Iran in numerous and as such is not singular to nuclear cooperation. You might have already known Russia was also interested in Iran's gas and oil but an interesting possible relationship and cooperation just dawned on me.

I am sure you remember Russia creating a crisis recently shutting off Europe's gas and oil supply after its confrontation with Georgia, that and the fact that Turkey has long desired and endeavored to become a member of the European Union. This opens up a win, win for all involved!

* Center pin Turkey, King pin Russia, center pin Iran! Winner US, European Union, Iran, Russia, and all our union and future! Remember the missile defense shield President Obama killed as an issue by switching to the Aegis? The missile Defense shield was starting to look like a necessity with N Korea in pressing on missiles capable of carrying war heads and the ability to reach Hawaii or so we hear. Iran we still do not know about but they will not compromise their nuclear desires so with a responsible credible ally if Russia is one, the responsibility to ensure Iran's real intentions would be there's under scrutiny of course. There is room here.

** The winners in all this is everyone, but Turkey and the EU above all! Russia wants the franchise for Iran's gas and oil! Turkey is at the crossroads of the middle east and the European Union. This is a major point for compromise in all our problems! Give Russia the franchise, the EU lets Turkey join in turn for Turkey allowing a pipeline from Iran through Turkey into the EU. Everyone wins! A win, win for all and a chance for us to move into the future as one.

I reiterate the future is up to a pipeline!

In the Middle East we have been living a total lie from 9/11 on! You have not heard the truth once! Not on the events of 9/11, the Anthrax attacks which scared Congress to pass the so called Patriot Act and give Bush the abusive power he needed to attack Afghanistan for not allowing his pipeline through Afghanistan. The only remaining obstacle on 9-11 was the remaining agreement between the Taliban and Bridas Corporation. The Bush Administration, Congress, many in our major media, and even the 9-11 Commission and Cheney Energy Task Force all know about Bridas Corporation because that Argentine oil and gas company was standing in the way of our US oil companies and UK oil companies. The Caspian Basin oil is landlocked and there are only so many ways to get that oil out of the ground, to the ocean ports and into your gas tanks or home heating oil tanks.

What a coincidence huh? There is the direct route from Turkmenistan across Iran to the ocean, but that is not politically popular since the overthrow of the Shah of Iran many years ago. There is: 1.) the route across the Caspian Sea westward, which is extremely costly; and through Azerbaijan through Turkey to the Mediterranean; and 2.) from Turkmenistan through Georgia to the Black Sea; and 3.) through the Ukraine to Europe; and 4.) the Turkmenistan through Afghanistan and Pakistan to the ocean. Until one of those solutions was in place, the holes being drilled into the ground by British Petroleum, Chevron, Exxon and others could not go anywhere and could not produce revenues for those companies. A route northward through Russia would put US oil companies at risk to changes in Russian politics and the Eastward route through China was not deemed secure enough since China is soon to become the second largest user of petroleum in the world after the United States.

Lastly!

Many of us have said numerous times that Bush was advised before hand that if he attacked Iraq he would destabilize the Middle East. He knew before he ignored all good advice that the neighbors would get involved and they are. He knew that it was most likely that Iraq would be divvied up between the Kurds, the Sunni's, and the Shiite and it will be. In the past I have written extensively the entire Middle East would blow and then the entire world would be involved in war. I know that both Turkey and Iran are fighting Kurds that are looking for Autonomy but never really thought that a free Kurdistan would encompass areas of Iran and Turkey as well as Iraq. Knowing the close American Kurdish relationship I really have to rethink what Bush's real goal was here after I discovered an old story. Tell me what you think!

Kurdistan Observer: A Free Kurdistan! Recent nuances and nudges in government policy as well as tacit support for the most obscene anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism by the ruling political party of Turkey ought to cause the United States to begin to rethink its comprehensive policy toward Asia in general and toward one non-Arab minority in Iraq in particular: the Kurds. What, today, is the most intractable political problem in Iraq? It is the very real political and religious aims of Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish regions of the nation. Since the inception of Operation Iraqi Freedom, President Bush has maintained that the unity of the nation of Iraq was non-negotiable. In politics and in war, however, nothing should be non-negotiable.

This sounds vaguely familiar but Iraq is not a nation in any real sense, it was rather three separate concentration camps each with differing degrees of oppression. An answer? Maybe but there are numerous counties involved and they all want their answer as a result there will be none I am afraid because peace and prosperity is not the goal but getting ones way and individual National Sovereignty is!

The US needs Turkey for its Middle East policy but it is obvious the rest of the world does too. Turkey and the world are at a crossroads which way will we go!

The Minaret ban in Switzerland furthers the Religious war set for our future! We just can't stop instigating this!

Outrage over Swiss ban on minarets



In the most recent attempt to alienate Muslim’s the minaret was a political symbol against integration; a symbol more of segregation and first above all a symbol to try to introduce Sharia law parallel to Swiss rights. That sounds insane but it went directly to the paranoid citizens and they voted to outlaw the Minaret. Swiss ban on Minarets

IRAN: Outrage, and a warning, over Swiss vote to ban minarets

Libya follows Iran in warning against Swiss minaret ban

Bishop of Arabia dismayed by minaret ban in Swiss homeland

Remember the Danish cartoons about Muhammad printed almost 4 years ago? Here they are

Remember the French headscarf ban after dozens of Muslim school girls were expelled for refusing to remove their headscarfs? to the French it is a sign of oppression but who cares what they think?

Remember Salman Rushdie, who went into hiding under threat of death after an Iranian fatwa, was knighted by the Queen? Muslim's wanted his head and he had to go into hiding

You know I have written often of my disgust with those who said we did nothing to deserve 9/11 or anything that has happened before and since. We more than asked for everything we got. Remember the Berlin conference Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 to Divide Africa India and Pakistan being ad hoc divided by Britain The forming of Israel, Bush’s failed Middle East Democratization program. We asked for everything we get and we just keep instigating at every opportunity. I just don’t get it unless…

Philippines massacre hopefully not Politics as usual!

I have been following this for more than a month now as I did not know what to think of it and wanted to watch thinking it was going to develop into something big and it is! It is very surprising what is coming out and there is definitely more coming and it goes right into the Government itself.

I was stunned when I first heard of the 57 people slaughtered 18 of which were journalists “18” that is the most killed at one time anywhere in the world. It is a dangerous business and Politics in the Philippines is more vicious than I realized.

Toto Mangudadatu professed his intention to run for Governor of Maguindanao. After receiving death threats Mangudadatu decided to send his wife and other women covered by a bevy of reporters to record his registration to run.

The Amputuan’s have dominated Maguindanao politics for year’s and were not going to let their domination end. Andal Ampatuan Jr was identified as being with the gunmen and his family turned him in under threats of attack by the military.

President Aroyoyo’s ruling party had to distance herself from the Amputuan’s as they were instrumental in getting her elected so they threw the Amputuan’s out of the party saying they failed to exercise their moral duty. No, ya think?

Of course Andal said the charges against him were baseless, not true, and his conscience was clear. Philippines massacre: police charge local politician with murder

It is amazing how vile a person can be and with a straight face say they are innocent and have a clear conscience. I did not realize how common this kind of violence was in Philippine politics though I know this was the worst and hopefully now this is the beginning of the end for Philippines Political violence. . Philippine Massacre Suspect Turns Himself In, Military Still Pursuing Gunmen

This blew me away! The Amputuan’s were in fact preparing for war, clear conscience, yeah! Maguindanao was placed under martial law for the purpose of arresting the “innocent” clear conscience Amputuan’s and comb the property.

That is where this deepens and will get much deeper and more conspiratory. The Amputuan family compounds were searched and they found enough arms and equipment to field an army, powerful weapons and thousands and thousands of bullets some bearing the department of defense logo. The plot thickens!

Anti tank weapons, assault rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers, 260 boxes if 5.56 mm ammunition, all can only be purchased by Government forces. There was enough to supply a battalion and this is just what was found there. Martial law declared in Maguindanao

Government arsenals buried deep under ground! This was a big inside job of higher ups. Huge caches of heavy military weapons were found deep underground next to Amputuan’s house. Coincidence? Innocent? No way! Clear conscience? Absolutely! They better clean house, stay tuned.

Putin and Cheney in 2012 a recipe for disaster!

Terrorism, Stalin and eternal life. Putin in Q&A



On TV, Putin hints at return to presidency

Why Dick Cheney Should Run in 2012 | Newsweek Newsweek - Top of ...

There is no way in hell Cheney should run. His fascist lies every time he speaks weaken the Nation and show why we can not let this so called man back in the White House to follow the agenda that brought us down and brought the world to chaos. A run by Cheney would guarantee a run and election of Putin to take on the Bush mis-agenda once again. We can not afford a return to that!

The Draft Cheney move has started and the web site opened! Cheney in 2012?


We watched in horror as we raced towards WW3 and Bush and Cheney’s forever war with Putin rearming and organizing the world to take on Bushco and his allies. We got rid of Bush, we got rid of his MDS designed to instigate Russia to war, and we have pressed the reset button with Russia and the world, we can not afford a return to that.

I hope he does not change his mind and I refuse to believe the lying torturing war monger is even electable and not in jail but right now Cheney says no to running. Why should he? He does more damage mouthing off with his lies calling Obama weak, dangerous, and indecisive every time he takes the time to think and move us forward instead of dithering and war mongering.

It is bad enough having to deal with Iran’s militancy we can not afford a return to what we just admonished when we elected Obama and his promise of change. Yes we are still waiting to see it largely thanks to the Republican’s working to create his, our, and the worlds Waterloo but we have at least seen a change in the rest of the world’s cooperation and attitude towards the US.

North Korea Waning as currency evaporates!

You know I have been very concerned about North Korea and her Shenanigans as she was firing missiles testing nuclear weapons and as a matter of policy, antagonizing the west in order to bring us to the bargaining table and barter cooperation for food for its citizens.

I have finally realized that average citizens of countries around the world do matter and they are mere pawns and bargaining chips for a countries ruling party to use and get what they want. North Korea has routinely sacrificed its people while pursuing its expensive military endeavors.

As you know, famine is one of the biggest and oldest problems in the world. It will only get worse as responsible nations fight to regain their economic footing. We are talking responsible nations one of which North Korea is not. Right now there are over 800 million people around the world suffering from hunger.

North Korea ranks as the worst in the world in that category and a share that distinction with the likes of Somalia, Ethiopia, and Sudan but North Korea has one of the largest military’s in the world and plays with nuclear weapons while starving her citizens.

The main problem is North Korea is closed to the outside world so the Government can ravage the people and follow their militaristic agenda. Most North Koreans do not realize they are among the poorest Nations on the planet and bow to and thank Kim Jong Il for their one meal a day they get and are told is good for them. North Korea Disaster hunger and famine

I always wondered just in knowing what South Koreans have when the North Korean’s were going to rebel? This latest action should do it! As if things weren’t bad enough for the downtrodden North Korean’s North Korea was just paralyzed, shops and Markets forced to close and the country plunged into chaos as the currency was devalued.

They are not allowed to work and have been given a week to trade their old won (currency) in for the new Won and are only to be given 1 for every 100, 100:1 destitution that is their reward for blind loyalty. Supposedly the poor impoverished people were getting too rich and Kim Jong Il felt the need to knock them down a little further and usurps further control. North Korean misery as currency evaporates

North Korea’s military is on alert as the people saw what little money they had flushed away and public anger grows. A curfew has been reported as unrest continues to grow. Supposedly any pathways to wealth had to be closed and are. N.Korea military on guard against unrest: reports AF


Free Markets are no longer allowed and the docile people of North Korea are roaming the streets cursing the Government loudly. This is pretty radical for North Koreans who have been taught from birth that they owed everything to Kim Jong Il. This is disaster; the starving citizens are really going to be starving in a few days then nothing will stop them. My heart is with the up to now loyally starving citizens purposely being starved by their own Government!

The Taliban get their wish!

Reaction: Obama's strategy for Afghanistan





Pakistan officials wary of Obama's strategy for Afghanistan

Nato pledges 5,000 troops

Remember the Taliban get their wish?

We are getting deeper into their trap. However at this point I am sorry to say I am afraid Obama has taken the right action but we are led to think it is our security that is at stake and we automatically think attack on the US. That is not the immediate threat there and I can't believe I feel like I bought into this but I just woke up. Taliban vow to fight US troop surge

We were threatened with the domino affect during the Vietnam War. To me it was a ruse that was employed to scare people and justify expanding and staying in the war. We were warned that if we allowed Vietnam fall to communism the rest of Asia and then the world would follow.

You see how that worked out don’t you? That said, we have a historic town here many of you in the States may know named Marblehead as it is on the coast and across the harbor from Salem. We always enjoyed sitting on the beach watching dawn break over the Atlantic thus the saying dawn breaks over Marblehead meaning I finally see the light.

Well I just woke up As you know I was dead against adding more troops as I thought we should concentrate on the border and help Pakistan who does want their sovereignty and I still feel that way but I now realize Afghanistan is important but not the way in which we all perceive it.

As you know, we have discussed many times JSOC is the military's chief terrorists hunting squad and has units now operating in Afghanistan on Pakistan's western border and in Pakistan. A secondary mission is to secure foreign nuclear arsenals.

As you know the mission has taken on added importance in recent months, as Islamic extremists have taken territory close to the capital of Islamabad and could destabilize Pakistan's shaky democracy. Pakistan appears to be holding off the Taliban threat thus the threat of the US too feel the need to act on defending their Nukes. Just in case the US Has a Plan to Secure Pakistan Nukes if Country Falls to Taliban

I now believe Afghanistan is just step a domino headed towards Pakistan and her nuclear weapons. That I believe is the threat of Afghanistan falling into extremist hands as it is increasingly obvious to me that getting Pakistan’s nukes is the ultimate goal of the Taliban, Al Qaeda, militants, whatever you want to call them.

That would put us in a situation the entire world better be extremely concerned about and why NATO if right to step up and Russia and China better step up.

* I am hearing we are on our way out of Iraq and Afghanistan or so some might think but just wait to see what 18 months brings. I keep hearing a stupid saying attributed to the Taliban “you have the watches but we have the time” Hell most do not know what a watch is and we better make the time. Like it or not we are stuck with this fight not for Afghanistan’s Government but for the security of Pakistan’s nukes!

We gave nuclear abilities to Iran and Pakistan in the 50s: We created our nuclear problems there!

Iran says nuclear non proliferation treaty irrelevant and continues to make it so!

Defiant Iran lashes out at IAEA they are threatening now to build 10 more plants to enrich uranium. That is a childish threat and I hope toothless as China and Russia both on board with the latest demands would have to do the building.

The nuclear program of Iran was launched in the 1950s with the help of the United States as part of the Atoms for Peace program.[1] The support, encouragement and participation of the United States and Western European governments in Iran's nuclear program continued until the 1979 Islamic revolution that toppled the Shah of Iran. We are so concerned about Pakistan and Iran today in regard to nuclear abilities and nuclear weapons and security. I was blown away to find out that we built the first nuclear Reactors in both Iran and Pakistan. Iran's nuclear program

I would have to assume this was after we overthrew the democratically elected President of Iran Mohammad Mosaddeq to install our ruthless puppet the Shah of Iran. We built and supplied Iran's first reactor because we thought we were in control. What the hell is wrong with us? That makes us personally responsible for the 1979 Revolution in Iran, the capture of our hostages, the disaster in the desert after a failed attempt to rescue them, the rise of the Revolutionary Guard, the protesters dilemma, the nuclear issue in Iran today, everything!

You know, I have long said that Iran’s civilian nuclear program is a cover for their nuclear weapons program. Now I see that Arab leaders feel the same way. They fear a nuclear arms race and I can only conclude that knowing how far along Iran is and how they feel that they are hedging their bets and it is already under way clandestinely.

The Gulf Corporation Council “Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman. And the United Arab Emiratus, who are all incidentally armed by us with advanced conventional weapons and technology and missile defense batteris all want the Middle East to be declared a nuclear safe zone. That as you know is DOA as neither Israel or the US will never agree to that. The centuries of acrimony and convoluted Relationships throughout the Middle East though I knew of it is mind boggling and worse than I thought so I invite you to read the report it is eye opening. ! Why Arab leaders worry about Iran's nuclear program | Bulletin of ...

I just want to highlight Iran creating a ticking time bomb for its traditional rival the Sunni Persians. Remember Chernobyl? So doesn’t Iran and the rest of the Middle East. None of them trust Russia’s nuclear reactor safety record after the vast environmental destruction and cost to human life. As you know Russia built the Bushehr nuclear reactor but I did not know that, that is what where Bushehr was built and why!

The location of the Bushehr nuclear reactor, less than 2 miles from the Persian Gulf and closer to six Arab capitals (Kuwait, Riyadh, Manama, Doha, Abu Dhabi and Muscat) than it is to Tehran, this is a serious problem. Any nuclear accident would be an ecological disaster. The Persian Gulf, the only source of water for Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, would be contaminated, leaving those countries without drinking water. Meanwhile, the air contamination would spread to most of the populations who live downwind of the reactor.

The Persian worlds concern is concern for the environment and future dangers, in the event of a nuclear leak that could pollute the entire Gulf region. What increases concerns about an ecological disaster is Iran's reliance first and foremost on Russian nuclear technology. The safety of this technology cannot be trusted and I am starting to smell a rat

* Knowing that technological failures in the Chernobyl disaster caused radioactive ecological pollution in extensive regions of the world and the Persian world would be wiped out in the eventuality of a nuclear accident I now have to ask, is nuclear weapons that would destroy the entire Middle East the issue or a nuclear “accident” whose location has been set to “conveniently” affect all of Iran’s perceived enemies Iran’s real goal?

Old news about Tora Bora: We knew, watched his caravan, and let him go! Where the hell is the news?

Report Blasts 2001 Battle To Get Bin Laden

I am fed up with the charade of Tora Bora and everything 9/11! I first wrote this more than six years ago! Remember September 23, 2006
9/11 Press For Truth: Very Best accurate movie exposing 9/11 cover up!

As you know having read my past posts, I believe that 9/11 was allowed to happen and for a reason. I have never seen the facts that would back it up. Now I have them. This 911 movie, press for truth has got to be the very best movie exposing the 9/11 cover up. Bush, Rice, Cheney, everyone of them said over and over that there was no forewarning that terrorists were going to strike and that planes could be used as missiles to bring down buildings. Bull!

The movie documents factually that we heard in 1995 that planes may be used but never concerned ourselves about it. We received multiple warnings prior to 9/11 that terrorists were around, planes would be used, and the towers were coming down.

That really amazed me primarily because I have never seen the whole story together or backed up, I recommend everyone to see this and spread it around. Surprising to me was that prior to 9/11 one of the hijackers backed out and turned himself in, telling authorities what was going to happen. He was given 2 lie detector tests that he passed with ease. I don't recall who in the Administration said it. But they were told to let him go and send him back to London.

Once it did occur we attacked Afghanistan of course. As you remember, Bin laden and many of the leadership were trapped in Tora Bora. In the past I have said Bin Laden was allowed to escape so bush could use him to keep fervor up and Afghani's were credited with being responsible for his escape. Then I watch this and find out that it was us. We knew there were four ways out and only guarded three. We gave them a way out.Remember! We designed and funded building Tora Bora for the Mujaheddin fighting Russia.

Not only that but I vaguely remember hearing about a 1,000 car caravan but it was never mentioned that we were bombing the area around it but allowed the 1,000 car caravan carrying the Bin Laden entourage to escape into Pakistan and at night, come on.

Now this part really irks me and I for one never heard anything about it and still don't. As far as I am concerned Pakistan is no friend of America's and will partner with India and turn on us when the time comes. We also heard over and over how Bush would track down any Al Qaeda finances and try anyone involved. He made a big deal out of the fact that someone outed the fact that we were checking out electronic transfers etc. Something he himself announced.

Now I watch this movie and find out that the head of the Pakistani ISI transferred $100,000 to Muhammad Atta just prior to the 9/11 attacks. This gets worse. Primarily because not only do we have records of this financing as well as pictures but we ignored it and supposedly are in cahoots with them. What happened to anyone caught aiding, abetting, or financing terrorism being hunted down?

To make it worse, the joke of a sideshow they called the 9/11 commission hearings was an obvious farce. Then I have to see this movie! We knew Rice and others were lying and Bush and Cheney were allowed to hold hands and lie together (take that any way you want). I think I vaguely remember hearing this but like everything else it was dismissed as insignificant. Anyway, the guy who ran Bush's election campaign if I remember correctly, is the one running the commission hearings.

He was the one who decided what was significant and what wasn't as well as what questions could be asked. What the hell is that? This entire thing was stacked against the truth and the facts getting out. I don't know if it is too late to do anything about it but it is our duty as Americans to hold these liars accountable. We owe it to the victims. We owe it to our children. We owe it to our history and we owe it to ourselves.

Please take the time and watch this. I know you never hear the truth from Bushco until it is too late to do anything about it and that is probably the case here to but we must all see the truth and hold these people accountable for what they have allowed to happen and only for selfish gain. It is unconscionable especially for an American or a so called leader. Following is why I believe 9/11 was allowed to happen.

As you may remember, Bush was looking for something to happen that would put the country and the world behind what he already had plans to do. 9/11 gave him that something.

He had plans right from the beginning to establish a new societal, middle east, and world order. That is why it was important to him to whip up a media and public fury which of course, he has done.

He then used the excuse of 9/11 to attack Iraq and unsettle the middle east so he could further his idea of a new middle east and world order. In doing so he guaranteed the loss of Afghanistan as well as Iraq and the entire Middle East Of course lying all the while and whipping up as much support and frenzy as he could in the media and minds he controls.

At this point it behooves him to continue to ignore reality and continue to whip up a frenzy so he can continue staying the course in order to further prosecute his new middle east and world order.

We were all shamelessly being used so Bush can follow his plan for new order. I wrote this 3 years ago but it is more obvious today. Let me know what you think? I won't get any deeper but it gets worse from here. Who knows what Iraq and Afghanistan will be like in a year or two? Plus I will guarantee you Bush will find an excuse to attack Iran so he can further his plans for the Middle East and the world.

Any way you look at it Bush has screwed up and his new Middle East order will happen but it is out of his control! Bush chose to ignore this as we have said many times with all other good advice so he could attack Iraq and start to implement his idea of a new Middle East order.

It will proceed and he won't admit it but it is out of his or anyone else's control!

Pakistan president loses amnesty for corruption charges Takes His Finger off the Nuclear Trigger, the US is prepared or so they think!

Pakistan president loses amnesty for corruption charges

Takes His Finger Off the Nuclear Trigger

be on the alert JSOC and Black water are there

I talk about it often that I knew we had a force in place in Pakistan to secure their nukes if we think they are in danger of falling into extremists hands. I do not think I knew that General McChrystal was in charge of that force or that he was in charge of Cheney's assassin squads. I did know he was the head of the Delta force but never thought about their clandestine activities. I invite you to read this and think about it all! Obama's General in charge of Afghanistan was Cheney's chief assassin

This is a long held plan: The plan is a detailed plan to secure Pakistan's Soviet style mobile nuclear force if it appears they are in danger of falling into the hands of Al Qaeda, the Taliban, or any other "perceived" militants. Key word perceived! American intelligence sources say the operation would be conducted by Joint Special Operations Command, the super-secret commando unit headquartered at Fort Bragg, N.C.

At least for me until a year ago JSOC and what they are doing in Pakistan and Afghanistan had not been divulged. I do not know if it is wise or not but Obama had let this out of the bag too. JSOC is the military's chief terrorists hunting squad and has units now operating in Afghanistan on Pakistan's western border.

A secondary mission is to secure foreign nuclear arsenals. As you know the mission has taken on added importance in recent months, as Islamic extremists have taken territory close to the capital of Islamabad and could destabilize Pakistan's shaky democracy. Pakistan appears to be holding off the Taliban threat thus the threat of the US too feel the need to act on defending their Nukes. Just in case the US Has Plan to Secure Pakistan Nukes if Country Falls to Taliban

Iran Censured Over Nuclear Program by UN Watchdog: Sorry but it is Too little too late!

Nuclear defiance? IAEA votes on Iran censure resolution



I know some of you have been critical about my stance on Iran over the years but I am convinced Iran, the IRG, Ahmadinejad, Ayatollah Khamenei, they have no good intentions with their nuclear program. The years of lies are just starting to come to a head!

We just discussed that by attacking Iraq and further destabilizing the Middle East Bush freed Iran to interfere where they can and they are! He freed Iran up to pursue her version of new middle East order by interfering wherever she could while Bush was doing the same thing with his Middle East Democratization program. I think you can see how successful Bush and Cheney were with chaos creating Middle East Democracy program but you are barely seeing the results they created in Iran.

As you know, when asked by a journalist how he felt upon returning to Iran in 1979 after 15 years in exile. Khomeini’s curt, one-word reply was “nothing” Whoa! From day one of his return to Iran Khomeini expressed no love for Iran only a love of the atom bomb. The drive even then was to possess a nuclear weapon though that desire is still denied until Iran can get their hands on one.

I have tried to give Iran the benefit of the doubt when they say their nuclear desires are peaceful knowing they could use nuclear power as an energy source for their growing population. I have always asserted that perceived need could be cover for the real goal of developing a nuclear weapon. I now believe it is and I think it is too late but the IAEA has finally woken up to that fact!

* Just one day after Mohamed ElBaradei finally castigated Iran for what he finally believes is a clandestine nuclear weapons program the IAEA is now demanding Iran freeze all operations ate the so called secret nuclear site on an IRG base in the holy city of Qum that even G W Bush knew about and never said anything.

It is a little late to start expressing serious concern over potential military designs with their nuclear program though I am greatly encouraged that even China and Russia are behind this resolution. However there is no way the IRG (Iranian Revolutionary Guard) Khamenei, or Ahmadinejad, will do anything the world tells them to let alone curtail their “God given” nuclear program.

At least now the resolution censuring Iran passed overwhelmingly by 25 to 3. For what it is worth China and Russia have finally joined the US, Britain, France, and others while the three dissenters were the expected villains Malaysia, Cuba, and Venezuela.

Israel also for what it is worth said they would put off any thought of action against Iran’s nuclear abilities until after Obama’s end of year deadline promising “crippling sanctions” does not cooperate. You know they will not and we just wrote that Bush freed them to do as they want and that will continue.

I do not trust Iran an Iota any more! I am more concerned than ever about what Iran is really up to and not just with their nuclear ambitions. Iran Censured Over Nuclear Program by UN Watchdog

As damaging info builds by the day I reiterate: IRG Ahmadinejad, the stolen election, the killing and imprisonment of the children of the Revolution, the violent crushing of all opposition, the clandestine nuclear program, It is all making sense, beware! Natanz, Qom, Arak, Isfahan, Bushehr, how many more nuclear facilities? How will this end?

White House: US Will Be Out Of Afghanistan by 2017 but we better heed Pakistan's warning!

They do not want a large increase in troops and I have to agree with their reasoning. Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said the United States must fully share its plans for Afghanistan with Pakistan so that it can contribute to them. He warned of our closing posts near the border and I agree we should increase our presence there. Pakistan's Gilani warns Obama over US Afghan troop plan

I agree with Pakistan that we should put Karzai to the test and concentrate our efforts on securing the Afghanistan Pakistan border to contain militants in Pakistan so Pakistan can eradicate them if possible and keep them from migrating into Afghanistan to complicate our efforts. Border security is key to the success of both Pakistan and Afghanistan and should be a prime concern and the effort of Afghan forces can be spent training up and killing the militants that are already in country!

I agree with what should be the final option on the table, dubbed the "hybrid" option, it would involve a surge of around 20,000 troops to reinforce major population areas coupled with a renewed counter-terrorist effort against al-Qaeda and Taliban targets in lawless tribal areas along the border with Pakistan coupled with the major emphasis being training up Afghans to take over their security so we can go home.

We will find out in a few days and I am gratified with much of what I am hearing about Obama's plan but dismayed that he wants to add some 34,000 troops. Head of Management and Budget Peter Orzak had a ring side seat because of the costs involved. At a cost of $1 million per year per soldier and a possible “temporary” increase of some 34,000 soldiers we are not talking peanuts here and have heard rumors of a war tax, pay as you fight! US Will Be Out Of Afghanistan By 2017: White House

With the U.S. deficit hitting $1.4 trillion and fueling Americans' concerns about high government spending, sending more troops to Afghanistan will be a politically risky move for Obama. Republicans of course want the troop increase but will use the deficit to make sure that this is Obama’s Waterloo.

As you know, concerns at home are the smallest part of this. This is very complicated thanks to Bush’s ineptitude. Pakistan is blaming militants regrouping outside Waziristan on the US but it is due to their success. Counter to their belief, I think a surge hurts us but will in fact help them. I guess once again we will have to find out the hard way. I remember Obama saying he wanted to be out before his time was up knowing that meant two terms. Now we hear 2017. We can only hope that is etched in stone! Pakistan Taliban regrouping outside Waziristan

By attacking Iraq and further destabilizing the Middle East Bush freed Iran to interfere where they can and they are!

Yemen conflict worries Middle East region



Five killed at secessionist protest in south Yemen, Sees 'Mounting Evidence' Iran Is Arming Rebels
As you know, I talk about it often as I watch Bush's new Middle East (dis)order progress. He ignored Afghanistan so he could use the patriot acts powers to divert from Afghanistan to attack Iraq using the excuse of unseating Saddam so he could get in the Middle East to help Israel establish a buffer zone and establish a new middle east (dis) order or so Israel and Cheney thought. Bush at Cheney's urging made an abrupt shift in policy towards Syria, a shift that has now brought the entire Mideast region to the brink of war and chaos. Much worse than the hell on earth they created for Iraq. Did you ever read A clean Break

That plan was put together in 1996 for Israel. They were just waiting for an idiot to come along so they could implement their plan for the Middle East. Along came the life long follower and life long alcoholic loser Georgie Bush. I wish I could say the rest is History but this is still barely beginning and just beginning to take shape. All Bush did by ignoring Afghanistan and attacking Iraq was to guarantee a loss of everything and a complete Middle East and Asian Breakdown.

He freed Iran up to pursue her version of new middle East order by interfering wherever she could while Bush was doing the same thing with his Middle East Democratization program. I think you can see how successful Bush and Cheney were with chaos creating Middle East Democracy program but you are barely seeing the results they created in Iran. Five killed at secessionist protest in south Yemen

The goal absolutely is to be the country who decides which direction the new Middle East (dis)order will take. Bush started it by attacking Iraq to get into the middle east to destabilize it and start the new middle east order the idiot said God told him to do now it will be up to Iran and Saudi Arabia at least up front fight it out whether this goes the Iranian Shiite way or the Saudi Arabian Sunni way and do not forget Israel!

I knew Iran was supplying and arming the rebels in Yemen but I did not realize how extensively! Yemen has known for a while that Iran was arming the rebels that pushed into Saudi Arabia recently. Before Saudi jets pushed them out with Yemen approval and attacked their strongholds.

Yemen as you know is a US and Saudi ally and we have heard in the past accusations of arms smuggling. Yemen authorities have started boarding Iranian ships suspected of smuggling arms to Houthi rebels. This will have consequences for the entire Middle East as Shiite leader Iran is getting increasingly confrontational with Sunni leader Saudi Arabia albeit up to now in proxy!

Once again the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is the instigator. Hey are ferrying weapons to Eritrea to Yemen. They are now avoiding the Arabian Peninsula as Saudi Arabia has instituted a blockade along the coast of Yemen. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has also transported Lebanese Hezbollah fighters to fight with the rebels.

The Yemeni Navy has also seized an Iranian crewed ship loaded with weapons off the coast of a rebel stronghold and of course and involvement was denied by Iran. Saudi Arabia can not tolerate this on its border. Heretofore all fighting has been third party, Shiite against Sunni. How long before the 2 keepers of their faces go head to head to enforce their version of a new Middle East order?
Yemen Sees 'Mounting Evidence' Iran Is Arming Rebels

Both Iran and Saudi Arabia have been using Lebanon as their battlefront up to now able to avoid direct confrontation. Iran has pumped millions of dollars in supplies and arms much to the consternation of her suffering people while Saudi Arabia has been sup porting the Palestinian Authority.

So far there has been no direct confrontation. However I absolutely see what I have been warning about since Bush diverted from Afghanistan to attack Iraq and get back in the middle east to create a new middle east (dis)order! I do not give a damn what anyone says. Bush, Cheney and their Democratization program in an already historically unstable middle east set all of this and more in motion!

* The hell on earth Bush created for Iraqi’s will engulf the entire Middle East before it encompasses the entire world if we can not contain it. Under Bush we broke a long standing tradition of not adding fuel to the Middle East fire by supplying weapons. We are now, including advanced weaponry and missile defense systems. The Middle East breakdown Bush started armed and funded will continue under Obama. This up to now proxy war in the Middle East is under way. Wait, watch, and listen, this is not good for the world and our future!

The 9th and last war council: We Hope!

Obama's Afghan Decision: Getting them there and getting them out!



The next step






Those in attendance included: Vice President Biden, Secretary of State Clinton, Secretary of Defense Bill Gates, Ambassador Susan Rice, Permanent U.S. Representative to the United Nations, Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg, Ambassador Richard Holbrooke, U.S. Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, Under Secretary of Defense Michele Flournoy.

Also Admiral Michael Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General James E. Cartwright, USMC, Vice Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff , General David Petraeus, U.S. Central Command, General Stanley McChrystal, U.S. Commander in Afghanistan (via videoconference), Lieutenant General Karl Eikenberry, U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan (via videoconference), Anne Patterson, U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan (via videoconference).

Plus General James Jones, National Security Advisor, Tom Donilon, Deputy National Security Advisor, John Brennan, Assistant to the President for Counterterrorism and Homeland Security, and Lieutenant General Douglas Lute, Special Assistant to the President for Afghanistan and Pakistan. Obama’s Afghanistan Strategy To Include “Benchmarks” and “Off-Ramps,” Announcement Next Week

How can you possibly equate that stellar team of adviser’s led by President Obama the listener and thinker to the likes of Rummy, Cheney, Rove, and the sole unthinking decider G W Bush? That was the 9th and last dramatic war council prior to Obama’s decision expected to be announced on or around December 1st.

Head of Management and Budget Peter Orzak had a ring side seat because of the costs involved. At a cost of $1 million per year per soldier and a possible “temporary” increase of of some 30,000 soldiers we are not talking peanuts here and have heard rumors of a war tax, pay as you fight!

With a crew like that brain trusting on how to clean up Bush and Cheney’s mess and extricate us as I have faith they will, I am sick of the destructive ass Cheney saying Obama is unsure of himself and is dithering. If Cheney and Bush had done a tad of Dithering on Iraq we would not be in this position.

Cheney said he and Bush left Obama the foundation to build on and he is not building on it. No kidding! With 8 years of ignored crumbling foundation it must be rebuilt before we can build on it and extricate ourselves from the mess Bush and Cheney made. Everyone in the world knows that is the problem except for Cheney who was the war decider. Obama said that after 8 years of neglect and disregard in Afghanistan he will finish the job. Seems to me that was a swipe at Cheney and Bush for dithering.
It is important and telling that Obama’s first State dinner honoring Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. India is the largest Democracy in the world. Without a doubt in their closed door meetings they were discussing India’s role in quelling the situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

As we discussed in the past, it is important to have India on board as we move forward on the war in Afghanistan. India’s partnership is as important as China’s as we move into the 21st century. India is not only in Afghanistan and Pakistan but in the creation of jobs here in America. Eradicating terrorism as we discussed is not only Pakistan and India but the entire world.

I have said many times in the past that war seems to be the driver of our economy as a way to survive into the future. That said it seems fighting terrorism is our future and along with new energy sources and green jobs will keep economies of the so called civilized world afloat in the future. That said, Obama can concentrate on putting America back to work and that is not his top priority!

IT is not it may happen! Bush guaranteed a Sunni Shiite civil war throughout the entire Middle East!

I seem to have to beat a dead horse an awful lot lately. I guess is appropriate that once again it is over a problem he created. As I watch the situation in Yemen devolve and the 2nd link to follow stating that with one side supported by Sunni Saudi Arabia and the rebels by Shiite Iran this “may” erupt into a Sunni Shiite civil war throughout the Middle East! That is a fact Bush guaranteed when he ignored good advice and attacked Iraq as God told him to! 'Saudi casualties' in border fight with rebels
The Yemen - Iran Spat Spreads to Street Names

The goal absolutely is to be the country who decides which direction the new Middle East (dis)order will take. Bush started it by attacking Iraq to get into the middle east to destabilize it and start the new middle east order the idiot said God told him to do now it will be up to Iran and Saudi Arabia at least up front fight it out whether this goes the Iranian Shiite way or the Saudi Arabian Sunni way and do not forget Israel!

I reiterate, could this confrontation erupt in war between Iran and at the least US armed Saudi Arabia? Iran is warning and threatening retribution but they are supplying the Yemeni Rebels who pushed into Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has fired well over a hundred missiles from their fighter jets as they pummel their hideouts.
You can not blame them but I had no idea the dissension goes all the way back to the naming of the Gulf. Saudi’s know it as the Gulf of Arabia and I can remember that but Iran calls it the Persian Gulf as the rest of us seem to now.

Both Iran and Saudi Arabia have been using Lebanon as their battlefront up to now able to avoid direct confrontation. Iran has pumped millions of dollars in supplies and arms much to the consternation of her suffering people while Saudi Arabia has been supporting the Palestinian Authority.

While the world has been engrossed following events in Iran since the election was stolen to keep fascist Ahmadinejad and he fascist agenda in control Iran has been fueling a rebel war in Yemen and what a surprise it has extended into Saudi Arabia. The Hajj has even been threatened.

The Hajj as you may know is known as the 5th Pillar of Islam and is associated with the life of Islamic prophet Muhammad from the 7th century, but the ritual of pilgrimage to Mecca is considered by Muslims to stretch back thousands of years.

A propaganda war is also being waged. Egypt and Saudi Arabia have pulled the plug on Iran’s Arabic speaking TV. It makes me wonder why they did not do that during the height of the protests when Iran’s Government sanctioned channel was televising pure lies and propaganda? I find it hard to believe that Iran is that vulnerable in that area!

So far there has been no direct confrontation. However I absolutely see what I have been warning about since Bush diverted from Afghanistan to attack Iraq and get back in the middle east to create a new middle east (dis)order! I do not give a damn what anyone says. Bush Chaney and their Democratization program in an already historically unstable middle east set all of this and more in motion!

* The hell on earth Bush created for Iraqi’s will engulf the entire Middle East before it encompasses the entire world if we can not contain it. Under Bush we broke a long standing tradition of not adding fuel to the Middle East fire by supplying weapons. We are now, including advanced weaponry and missile defense systems.

Khomeini's Ghost - The Iranian Revolution and the Rise of Militant Islam Makes sense of everything including Ayatollah Sistani

You know I have said many times that having legitimacy is not Ayatollah Khamenei's concern! Ayatollah Khomeini betrayed the 1979 revolution right off the bat and Khamenei is following him. That is why the most popular Ayatollah in Iran Ayatollah Sistani who has lived in Iraq since he was a teenager but visited Iran every year left Iran for Iraq and has never returned.

Ayatollah Sistani is gaining more converts every day. Ayatollah Montazeri was a leader of the Revolution too and has disagreed with Khamenei's betrayal of the Revolution. Instead of leaving like Ayatollah Sistani he chose to stay in Iran and has frequently butted heads with Khamenei. Ayatollah Sistani the most powerful Ayatollah in Iran has stayed out of Iran since the 1979 Revolution. He said the Revolution was betrayed and it was. Ayatollah Sistani Intrigue

Reading the book by Con Coughlin titled Khomeini's Ghost - The Iranian Revolution and the Rise of Militant Islam while as usual not totally correct it certainly makes you think and put everything in its proper frightening perspective. Please look at the book review and decide for yourself. From Khomeini's response on his return to Iran after 15 years of exile to today's events it all makes sense and the world better be concerned as there is more than idle threats and braggadocio coming from Ahmadinejad. Khomeini's Ghost - The Iranian Revolution and the ...

'US drone' targets Pakistan hideout 8 more militants killed! I understand Obama has greatly increased drone attacks. I abhor any civilian deaths or injuries but I do think the drone attacks should be increased along with use for observation. The drones are a way for us to help on the Pakistan side of the border without putting boots on the ground. I have to say, Pakistan and both sides of the border should be our priority now.


As you know, I agree with the Afghan citizens interviewed and with Pakistan that we should put Karzai to the test and concentrate our efforts on securing the Afghanistan Pakistan border to contain militants in Pakistan so Pakistan can eradicate them if possible and keep them from migrating into Afghanistan to complicate our efforts. Border security is key to the success of both Pakistan and Afghanistan and should be a prime concern and the effort of Afghan forces can be spent training up and killing the militants that are already in country!

Bingo! Exactly what we have been saying and then we should get the hell out and see if Karzai is as spineless and corrupt as some of us think before we have another Saigon and join Afghanistan’s graveyard of Nations!

The 5th option is the right option and I bet Obama will go with that and then start the slow withdrawal and see what Karzai and Afghanistan do with their opportunity, I hope they fight like Pakistan is. The letters from Ambassador Eikenberry set this in motion and I am psyched! Pay attention to Biden, pay attention to Max Cleland!

Adding more troops will only embolden the Taliban, make them happy, and make things much worse for us! Karzai better quickly get things together and cooperate, the writing is on the wall.

We keep saying we better learn from Vietnam or we are going to have another Saigon! Get the hell out of there. We have lost enough good soldiers fighting for Karzai’s corrupt Government!

Karzai apologizes for fraud says Afghanistan will control its security in 5 years!

Afghan President Sworn in to 2nd Term



That I would have to say is a lot more than a little optimistic don't you think? President Karzai's inauguration audience reflected the concern coming from the whole international community. 17 NATO foreign ministers were there including U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, British Foreign Secretary David Miliband, and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. The situation is serious and Karzai must step up. However eliminating corruption and controlling Afghanistan in 5 years is a bit optimistic I think though I would love to see it! British foreign secretary attends Afghan President Karzai's inauguration

I recommend that you read the link and see what the people think is necessary before Karzai can achieve his stated goals as they are right on. I have said numerous times what many of the people are saying. Karzai's entire corrupt cabinet must be replaced but that will never happen. That has to happen to stop the rampant Government corruption in a country that was is 179 out of the top 180 corrupt countries. Karzai inauguration: Views from Afghanistan

That will not however do anything to stop the corruption throughout the country much of it controlled by Karzai family and friends. Not just opium production but the main supply route to Kandahar where contractors use bribes to keep from being attacked by the Taliban. That said the people interviewed in the above link certainly nailed it and agree with me and Pakistan. Pakistan wants us to keep a military presence in Afghanistan and even increase it which I do not want to see because that will not work but only to add us to Afghanistan's graveyard of Nations.

I agree with the Afghan citizens interviewed and with Pakistan that we should put Karzai to the test and concentrate our efforts on securing the Afghanistan Pakistan border to contain militants in Pakistan so Pakistan can eradicate them if possible and keep them from migrating into Afghanistan to complicate our efforts. Border security is key to the success of both Pakistan and Afghanistan and should be a prime concern and the effort of Afghan forces can be spent training up and killing the militants that are already in country!
