Iran able to enrich Uranium up to 20% grade? If so a bleak milestone has been reached.

If Iran has reached the ability to produce a 20% grade of Uranium,
then nukes are not very far down the road. The worst part of this
entire nightmare is that Israel has not attacked Iran when they had
the chance(numerous opportunities), and that Washington has
wasted how many years in 'negotiating' with a crackpot regime, run
by extremeist hard line mullahs. The meddling of foreign powers into
Israel's future may have dire consequences of untold magnitude.
The fact that Ahmadinejad has been able to continually snooker the
'big six powers' is almost laughable if the stakes were not so high,
the region such a tinderbox, waiting for that one spark to ignite the
Middle East into Armaggedon. Once upon a time, not to far in the
distant past, Israel would have already leveled any and all Iranian
nuclear facilities, conducting global damage control AFTER the threat
had been neutralized. The world community would openly condemn
such actions, but in reality the world would breathe a huge sigh of relief.




Debkafile

Ahmadinejad's announcement is a provocative demonstration of contempt for the six world powers and their offer to trade Iran's low-grade uranium for 20 pc enriched product overseas. By going public on the banned process and abandoning concealment, Iran's rulers are throwing down the gauntlet to them and Israel.


DEBKAfile's Iranian sources report that the hawks of the Islamic regime led by Ahmadinejad and spiritual ruler Ayatollah Ali Khamenei have won the day for their tactics of jumping ahead of any possible US-led or Israel steps against their nuclear program with its own aggressive initiatives.

The Iranian president's enrichment announcement at a time that the Obama administration is pondering tough sanctions against the Revolutionary Guards was part of this policy; so were the Syrian and Hizballah declarations of military preparedness for a purported Israeli attack last week, taking advantage of an IDF war game to raise the alarm.

Tim Tebow ad has women's groups upset and are urging CBS to drop his ad during the Super Bowl.

Tim Tebow has never hidden his Christianity, nor apologized for it.
I completely stand by this young man and his mother. Tim Tebow
is young man of high morals, character and Integrity. The fact that
he is a strong Christian has always bothered some people and that
is too bad. This country needs more people like Tim Tebow, Men
and Women.  Islam slaughetrs women all over the world and where
are the feminists protesting the female genital mutilations, the
butchery savaged upon the female gender, from a very young age
up through the senior years of life.  Bravo to CBS for having the moxi
and courage to air something  that some may see a bit controversial.
I hope CBS stands it's ground and does not fold under the pressure
from the feminazis. Will Uncle Obama weigh in on this one? We all
know he is a baby killer from way back to his community activist
days in Chicago. His voting record on life or death for the unborn
speaks for itself.  There have been some pretty offensive ads aired
during past Super Bowls and I seriously doubt the Tebow's would
have anything to do with any commercial that is in poor taste or
borders on soft pornography, like so many commercials do today.

Fox Sports

A national coalition of women's groups called on CBS on Monday to scrap its plan to broadcast an ad during the Super Bowl featuring college football star Tim Tebow and his mother, which critics say is likely
to convey an anti-abortion message.


FOX SPORTS POLL Should CBS air the Tebow ad? 73% Yes 27%
This was as of 5:15 PM, West Coast time.


"An ad that uses sports to divide rather than to unite has no place in the biggest national sports event of the year -- an event designed to bring Americans together," said Jemhu Greene, president of the New York-based Women's Media Center.







The center was coordinating the protest with backing from the National Organization for Women, the Feminist Majority and other groups.



CBS said it has approved the script for the 30-second ad and has given no indication that the protest would have an impact. A network spokesman, Dana McClintock, said CBS would ensure that any issue-oriented ad was "appropriate for air."



The ad -- paid for by the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family -- is expected to recount the story of Pam Tebow's pregnancy in 1987 with a theme of "Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life." After getting sick during a mission trip to the Philippines, she ignored a recommendation by doctors to abort her fifth child and gave birth to Tim, who went on to win the 2007 Heisman Trophy while helping his Florida team to two BCS championships.

'Chemical Ali' is dead and gone: executed today

Justice was served today in Iraq. Chemical Ali was put to death today
No need for me to add any more. Here is a reminder of his evilness:




Baghdad resident Ali Suhail said the execution was just:
''He had executed so many people. So he deserves to be executed."


A resident of Halabja also said he was pleased: ''We, the families of
those killed in the attack on Halabja, are very pleased to hear that
Ali Hassan al-Majid was executed.

"Once again we call upon the Iraqi people and government to be
united and serve the Iraqi people and families of those killed
in poison gas attack."


'Chemical Ali' executed in Iraq













Ali Hassan al-Majid, a former Iraqi official known as "Chemical Ali", has been executed by hanging, a government spokesman has announced.





Majid, an enforcer in Saddam Hussein's regime and his cousin, had earlier been sentenced to death four times for genocide and crimes against humanity.

Earlier this month, he was sentenced to death for ordering the gas attack on the Kurdish town of Halabja in 1988.

It is believed that about 5,000 people died in the attack.

Iraqi jets swooped over Halabja and for five hours sprayed it with a lethal cocktail of mustard gas and the nerve agents Tabun, Sarin and VX.

Brutality

Majid was "executed by hanging until death," Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said in a statement.


"The execution happened without any violations, shouting or cries of joy," he added, in sharp contrast to Saddam's death on the gallows in 2006.

FOUR DEATH SENTENCES

Jan 2010: For ordering the gas attack on the Kurdish town of Halabja in 1988 in which 5,000 people died

March 2009: For the 1999 killings of Shia Muslims in the Sadr City district of Baghdad

Dec 2008: For his role in crushing a Shia revolt after the 1991 Gulf War

June 2007: For his role in a military campaign against ethnic Kurds, codenamed Anfal, from February to August of 1988

News of the hanging came shortly after three suicide car bombs struck in central Baghdad. It was not immediately clear whether the attacks were linked to his execution.

Majid was first sentenced to hang in June 2007 for his role in a military campaign against ethnic Kurds, codenamed Anfal, that lasted from February to August of 1988.

In December 2008 he also received a death sentence for his role in crushing a Shia revolt after the 1991 Gulf War.

In March 2009 he was sentenced to death, along with others, for the 1999 killings of Shia Muslims in the Sadr City district of Baghdad.

The BBC's Jim Muir in Baghdad says Majid could have been hanged earlier - after his first death sentence for the Anfal campaign.

But it was important to Iraqi Kurds to see him convicted of the Halabja attack, seen as one of the worst atrocities of Saddam Hussein's regime.

Crash of Ethiopian Airliner of Lebanon. No hints of terrorism of foul play, so far

Flight 409 was seen going down in flames this morning. I have
waited to see if there any reports of terrorism or foul play but so
far nothing suspicious has surfaced. I will be following this story
for critical updates but for now sounds like this crash was a
weather related crash. In this region of the world one has to keep
all avenues open until the facts come home.




By Massoud A. Derhally and Jason McLure




 An Ethiopian Airlines plane with 90 people on board crashed into the Mediterranean Sea after taking off from Beirut, Lebanon, early this morning.



Wreckage from Ethiopian Airlines flight 409
washed up on shore and being collected.




Eleven bodies have been recovered and no survivors have been found, Lebanese army Brigadier Saleh Haj Suleiman said by phone. Search operations are ongoing about 8 kilometers (5 miles) off the coast, he said.

“Weather conditions are very harsh,” Suleiman said. “We hope, God willing, to find some survivors.” The passengers on flight ET409 included 51 Lebanese and 23 Ethiopians, the carrier said on its Web site. The eight crew members were all Ethiopian.

The Boeing Co. 737-800 left Beirut’s Rafik Hariri International Airport for Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital, at 2:35 a.m. and lost contact with air traffic control shortly afterward. Flames were seen coming from the aircraft before the crash near Na’ameh town, south of Beirut, according to the state-run Lebanese National News Agency. Lebanon has been lashed with heavy rains, thunderstorms and high winds for much of the past two days.

“It was manageable weather otherwise the crew wouldn’t have taken off,” Chief Executive Officer Girma Wake told reporters at a briefing in Addis Ababa. “On behalf of Ethiopian Airlines and myself I am sorry that this happened.”

Lebanese President Michel Suleiman said terrorism was unlikely to have been the cause during a press conference in Beirut.

Boeing Investigation

The other passengers onboard the plane comprised two Britons and one each from Turkey, France, Russia, Canada, Syria and Iraq, state-owned Ethiopian Airlines said. The Lebanese National News Agency put the number of Lebanese citizens onboard at 54, saying that some held dual citizenship.

The wife of the French ambassador to Lebanon was among those on the plane, said Anne-Charlotte Dommartin, a spokeswoman for the French embassy in Beirut. The flight was due to take off at 2:10 a.m.

At Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa, people have been told to wait for further information on possible survivors, said Tedros Abdissa, whose 35-year-old cousin Tegist Shokur was onboard the flight.

Possible Survivors

“She was a domestic servant and her employer beat her up so she chose to leave,” he said in an interview at the airport.

The crashed plane was made in 2002 and leased from CIT Aerospace in September, Girma said.

Addis Ababa-based Ethiopian Airlines said it had dispatched investigators to the scene of the crash. Boeing is working with the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board to assist Lebanese authorities with the investigation, spokeswoman Sandy Angers said in an e-mailed reply to Bloomberg News questions.

Ethiopian Airlines operates a fleet of 37 planes, most of them Boeing aircraft, according to its Web site. It also has orders outstanding for planes including 10 787 Dreamliners, 12 Airbus SAS A350s and 5 Boeing 777s, according to the site. The airline and Boeing announced a deal for 10 737s on Jan. 22.

The carrier hasn’t suffered a fatal crash since November 1996, when 125 people died during a hijacking of a Boeing 767 bound for Abidjan, Ivory Coast, according to the Flight Safety Foundation.

Pelosi and Reid have a secret plan to ram Obamacare through.

The troika of Obama, Pelosi and Reid are refusing to abandon
cramming  Obamacare down our throats. The election of Scott
Brown has completely flipped the liberal trollage out. So far flipped
out that they may stoop to what is outlined in this article. I will not
put any scam or sham past these people. They are willing to do
whatever it takes to force their socialist ways upon the American people.




Obamacare will get you



By: Dick Morris and Eileen McGann


Highly informed sources on Capitol Hill have revealed to me details of the Democratic plan to sneak through Congress Obamacare, despite collapsing public approval for healthcare "reform" and disintegrating Congressional support in the wake of Republican Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts.

President Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have all agreed to the basic framework of the plan.

Their plan is clever but can be stopped if opponents of radical healthcare reform act quickly and focus on a core group of 23 Democratic Congressman. If just a few of these 23 Democrats are "flipped" and decide to oppose the bill, the whole Obama-Pelosi-Reid stratagem falls apart.

Here's what I learned top Democrats are planning to implement.

Senate Democrats will go to the House with a two-part deal.

First, the House will pass the Senate's Obamacare bill that passed the Senate in December. The House leadership will vote on the Senate bill, and Pelosi will allow no amendments or modifications to the Senate bill.

How will Pelosi's deal fly with rambunctious liberal members of her majority that don't like the Senate bill, especially its failure to include a public option, put heavy fines on those who don't get insurance and offering no income tax surcharge on the "rich"?

That's where the second part of the Pelosi-deal comes in.

Behind closed doors Reid and Pelosi have agreed in principle that changes to the Senate bill will be made to satisfy liberal House members -- but only after the Senate bill is passed and signed into law by Obama.

This deal will be secured by a pledge from Reid and the Senate's Democratic caucus that they will make "fixes" to the Senate bill after it becomes law with Obama's John Hancock.

Former leader of Malaysia thinks it is all right to commit genocide against the Jews.

This story comes to us from Australia and is by Andrew Bolt. 
Mahathir Mohamad is the former leader of the country that has
one of the world's largest populations of Muslims, Malaysia.
Mohammad has been outspoken in the past for his hatred of
the Jews. He is a believer in the 9/11 conspiracy theory that the
Jews caused 9/11 to spark a worldwide war on Islam.


I am going to turn this around on Mohammad. I think Islam
is the big problem in the world today. This is the only religion
or ideology that sanctions persecution, subjugation, death,
and genocide. Whole cultures, societies have been wiped
out in the 1400 years that Islam has been around. Other
religions have their problems but none sanction death and
violence like Islam and shariah law do.

Jews 'had to be periodically massacred'
Thomas Lifson


When the former prime minister of one of the most economically advanced Muslim-majority countries, Malaysia, feels free to openly endorse, or at least accept as natural and inevitable, Holocausts against Jews, it is fair to posit that such views are common among the world's billion or so Muslims.


The world watched and did nothing when Nazis moved against the Jews. History appears to be repeating itself. This startling news is getting very little play, so far. Matahir, who also believes in a 9/11 conspiracy theory, ought to be shamed fort hese words, but somehow I suspect that the "human rights" community will remain silent, as will CAIR and the Muslim lobby.


Why aren't more American Jews concerned at the brewing second Holocaust? The signs are clear.

Anjem Choudary wants Shariah law to rule all of Europe

This is from the Daily Star. Anjem Choudary is well known in England,
Islam and in the world of counter jihadists. His speeches are rife with
hate and anti-semitism. This is just a taste of what bhe represents,
Islamic death, violence and persecution.


ANJEM CHOUDARY  has called for this: "Call for Sharia" wherever they can in the world.


Speaking of his former Islam4UK supporters, Choudary added: "At the end of the day there is no prohibition for anyone to set up new organisations or platforms calling for something peaceful.

"As long as they are not doing anything illegal under the Terrorism Act.

"We are most interested in establishing the Sharia in France and Rome.

"We need to go to Rome and raise a banner saying the Day of Judgment will come when the Muslims take Rome. We will definitely conquer Rome one day."

Time for our politicians to take a stand on illlegal immigration: H.R. 1206

H.R. 1206 is an important bill. It will show the people of this country
who is serious about drawing a line in the sand, and then doing some
serious stuff to stop illegal immigration. We need to stop it for good
and at the very least, this bill is a start. Write, call email, fax your
representatives and let them know we are sick and tired of liberal
diversity, multiculturalism and allowing the laws of this country to
be broken by the flood of illegals. Businesses who knowingly
hire these law breakers should be punished right along with the
illegals they hire.





The Chaffetz/Kratovil bill takes away the wiggle room. First, it says Congress should not "legalize, grant amnesty for, or confere any other legal status condoning the otherwise unlawful entry or presence in the United States of any individual." And then to make it even more clear what the signer thinks should happen to illegal aliens, it calls for mandatory use of E-Verify by every employer for every employee so that none of the illegal aliens can keep their jobs and support themselves in this country.

Friends, this resolution is a promise with teeth. We will soon find out which Members of Congress were faking it the last few years in promising us that they wouldn't vote for an amnesty.

New Blood Libel Making the Rounds-Now Haiti

Gary Fouse, fousesquawk:


The old Jewish blood libel is being resurrected by the enemies of Israel. The claim about Israeli military forces killing Palestinians in order to harvest their body parts is now being spread to Haiti. This is thanks to some loon named T. West, who heads a black solidarity group called Afri Synergy. West has produced a video warning Haitians that the Israeli rescue workers and doctors may try to steal the body parts of their loved ones. In the above video, you can watch and listen as West makes his charges-without any corroboration.

Nevertheless, the claim is gaining currency among those who hate Israel-and who hate Jews in general. One by one, they are pouncing on this. The Iranian-run English-language Press TV is running the story, which you can check out below. One of Press TV's "journalists" has been British radical and Muslim-convert Yvonne Ridley. I wonder if she subscribes to this latest pipe dream. I guess I will add this to all the previous questions I have posed to Ridley on this blog.

http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=116613§ionid=351020706

Then there is the anti-Semitic web-site La Voz de Aztlan, run out of Los Angeles by a couple of guys who think the US Southwest belongs to Mexico and who hate Jews in general. One of their so-called reporters accompanied George Galloway to Gaza last year with one of his Viva Palestina convoys. This hateful website is running with the story, showing West's video and adding their own "inside information".

"Already a reporter said that a medical container with human corneas was noticed at the IDF tent hospital."

- La voz de Aztlan
http://www.aztlan.net/idf_harvesting_organs_in_haiti.htm

So my question would be who is the "reporter" who said this and who "noticed" this container, etc. Hell, the National Enquirer wouldn't even run a line like that without proof or some type of corroboration. You couldn't put a dog in the pound with that kind of evidence.

But while you are on the Aztlan site, I invite you to peruse the myriad of articles attacking Jews as people with or without any connection to Israel.

More serious than the accusation against the Israeli volunteers who are saving lives and giving medical aid to people in Haiti (something few if any of their enemies are doing, by the way) is the resurrection of an old anti-Jewish accusation that Jews were killing Christian children to use their blood in the making of matzo. It was a despicable lie that persevered for ages only out of Jew hatred. It is like the fictitious "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" story concocted by elements of tsarist Russia to convince people there was a worldwide Jewish conspiracy to dominate the world. This preposterous fraud, though long debunked, still has currency in the Middle East.

Now, in the middle of a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions, the anti-Semitic hate-mongers in the Middle East, Europe and America are coming out from under their rocks in an effort to discredit a heroic effort on the part of the Israelis.

It is beyond despicable.

Young Christian Pakistani girl raped and killed by Muslim attorney


I am at a loss for words here with this crime against a young,
innocent girl. Her crimes? Being a young woman and a Christian
woman. Here is how the authorities have dealt with this so far:

The mother of victim Shazia and father told Forum of Minorities leaders that “Lawyer Mohammad Naeem offered them Rs. 20000 deal to keep this issue under ground” Culprit Mohammad Naeem also threatened to victims family that “if they shout no body will listen and they will never get any thing” The defence Police were also not interested to registered FIR against Mohammad Naeem.

Christians in Islamic countries are treated this way all the time.
Especially the young girls and women. Whether you are born a
Christian or if you convert from Islam to Christianity, you are
considered and apostate. This can be and is, punishable by
death under Islam and shariah law. Where are the feminists,
the liberals who champion women's rights and freedom from
oppression? Where is NOW, The Huffy Post, Daily Kos? I'll
tell you where they are. Hiding in their libtarded drivel, afraid
to say anything against Islam or Muslims. Afraid of insulting
Islam or Muslims becaus that is not the multicultural way of
life, honoring the creed and puke of diversity. Then I and
others will speak out on Shazia Masih's behalf. Join me in
reporting this since the MSM will not do this justice.

This is just a horrendous crime against a 12 year old Christian girl. She was raped by a Muslim attorney, Mohammad Naeemh. More here
