Associated Press attacks Netanyahu’s speech

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a joint session of the United States Congress today commenting on Palestine and Israel, and if both States should return to 1967 borders. In other words, essentially force Israel to give up its land in favor of sharing it with the Palestinian people.

While President Obama is vacationing around Europe and spreading some BS that he’s now an Irishman, Netanyahu’s visit to the United States was to also send a clear message that “Israel can defend itself.”

It is interesting that every time Netanyahu comes to the United States, President Obama has other things he has to be doing.

But already, the news media is attacking Netanyahu. By way of example, the Associated Press stated that Israel is a leading recipient of more than $1 billion in military aid each year. Israel is a crucial ally in the Middle East, as was Egypt, before Obama apparently forgave that debt last week. Despite the assistance, Israel’s military is more than capable of defending itself, which is what Netanyahu was alluding to.

AP also said that Netanyahu was wrong with indicating “Israel will not negotiate with the Palestinian government backed by the Palestinian version of al-Qaeda.”

AP says that Hamas (which is backed by Palestine) and al-Qaeda have no connection. Really?

Maybe the AP apparently forgot that Zawahiri, the leader of al-Qaeda, is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood which supports Hamas as well?

Furthermore, Netanyahu spoke heavily about wanting to reach a peaceful compromise with Palestine and said that while it would be extremely painful, it could be done. He noted that in the past, Israel has given up occupation of land in both Southern Lebanon and in the Gaza Strip. What did that leave Israel? With acts of terror from Hezbollah and Hamas.

Towards the closing of his speech, Netanyahu remarked that if Palestine is willing to sever its relationship with Hamas, then peace would be reached. But some of his comments about Israel keeping several territories have apparently upset Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas who calls this nothing more than a “declaration of war”.

In short however, Netanyahu’s speech on stabilization and peace for the Jewish people in the Middle East was found to be very inspirational and welcoming. I’d prefer him as President of the United States any day.

Could we perhaps negotiate with Netanyahu and allow him to become President? We’ll just give Obama to the Middle East since he enjoys sympathizing with the Arab world so much.

Al-Qaeda leader comments on U.S. and Middle East upheaval

When Libya’s upheaval began in February, Moammar Gaddafi had indicated that al-Qaeda was responsible for destabilizing his country. This turned out to be factual after the Muslim Brotherhood crippled Egypt and removed Hosni Mubarak and the Brotherhood’s clerical leader called for an assassination of Gaddafi.

A piece on News24.com says that Ayman al-Zawahiri, who is presumed to be the new leader of al-Qaeda and a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, posted an audio sound byte on the Libya situation a few days before Navy SEALS killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. The audio was posted on militant forms in which al-Zawahiri claims that NATO’s intervention in Libya is meant to remove Gaddafi and the United States will set up a ‘puppet government’ to control the country’s rich oil resources.

No surprise there. After all, the U.S. did the same thing in Iraq and Kosovo.

In this recording, Zawahiri gave high praise to Egyptians that were successful in toppling Mubarak in Egypt and that the Gaza Strip border should be opened. And what happened? The post-Mubarak Egypt supported Hamas and vowed to open up the Gaza Strip.

Zawahiri also called on Syria to remove its president, Bashar al-Assad. Interestingly, while al-Qaeda harbors resentment against countries in the Middle East like Egypt, Jordan, Yemen and Saudi Arabia which are associated with the United States, in the same aspect, al-Qaeda is indirectly supporting the U.S. because President Obama wants to see these dictators removed from power.

Of course that is exactly what al-Qaeda wants, as does the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas and Hezbollah. In this unprecedented move, you have Sunni and Shiite Muslims actually working together to bring down the Middle East and remove Israel.

In another unbelievable move, President Obama said that the United States forgave Egypt’s $1 billion debt, while the rest of us in America continue to suffer. Maybe the President believes that once the U.S. controls Libya and seizes its oil rights, they’ll cross collateralize the loss of Egypt’s debt?

As usual, the ignorance by President Obama shows that this danger will continue to escalate. Why does this President continue to embrace terrorists and destabilization?

Pakistan angry over Osama bin Laden raid

While the U.S. celebrated the death of Osama bin Laden, one of the world’s most wanted criminals, the reaction from the Middle East has been nothing more than pure outrage.

Hamas had publicly condemned the United States; the Muslim Brotherhood is demanding U.S. military forces leave the Middle East immediately and the Taliban is vowing revenge.

But perhaps the most interesting of all was Pakistan's comments, a country that is supposed to be a U.S. ally. Well apparently it seems as though the so-called ‘alliance’ has been rather bleak these days.

Yesterday, former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf told CNN-IBN “American troops coming across the border and taking action in one of our towns, that is Abbottabad, is not acceptable to the people of Pakistan, it is a violation of our sovereignty. It would have far better if Pakistani special services group had operated and conducted the mission.”

What a load of crap. It has been the case since the moment we entered Afghanistan following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, that the Pakistan Government has swayed back and forth. First vowing to help the United States combat terrorism and insisting al-Qaeda members are not wanted in Pakistan and then deciding to provide safe haven for Osama bin Laden throughout all of these years. It is patently absurd that the U.S. would agree to cooperate with Pakistan military forces, because if that were the case, Pakistan would have most likely alerted Osama bin Laden’s compound and he would have fled, as he has done many times over the course of the last 10 years.

While Pakistan continues to lie to the United States about helping the Taliban and that they provided a safe haven for bin Laden all this time, we still managed to send them over $3 billion in 2010. How does that image help the United States?

Despite the fact that this evil man masterminded the most horrific attack our country has ever experienced, and the countless bombings throughout Europe, and at African embassies and the Bali nightclub bombings, this man is now garnering tremendous sympathy throughout the Muslim world.

That is a hint with relation to the uprising in the Middle East right now. We have the Muslim Brotherhood destabilizing Egypt and Libya, Hamas and Hezbollah forming a coalition to destroy Israel; Iran and Egypt bridging relations for the first time in 30 years and to completely open up the Gaza Strip.

Yes, the death of Osama bin Laden is a great victory, but his death appears to be nothing more than the end of Chapter 2.

Osama bin Laden: Dead

In a surprise announcement last night, President Obama gave a speech that every American has been waiting to hear: Osama bin Laden is dead.

The mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attacks had been evading capture for almost ten years ever since President Bush gave the orders to the U.S. military to invade Afghanistan to overthrow the Taliban and to dismantle the al-Qaeda terrorist network.

According to President Obama, bin Laden was killed in a Navy Seal operative shoot out where he was hiding in a mansion in Pakistan, presumably where he has been hiding since fleeing Afghanistan. His body has been disposed of at sea.

While the death of Osama bin Laden immediately sparked celebrations nationwide and should offer some closure to the families of the men and women killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, this does not mean that al-Qaeda is gone.

Immediately following the news that bin Laden was killed, the terrorist group, Hamas, publicly condemned bin Laden’s death saying "We regard this as a continuation of the American policy based on oppression and the shedding of Muslim and Arab blood.”

In other words, there will be a high level of alert, as this news has likely infuriated al-Qaeda and followers of radical Islam. Al-Qaeda has already selected its new leader to succeed bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri and most likely, al-Qaeda will continue in its pursuit to do harm to America.

On a side note, while the entire Middle East region is increasingly becoming destabilized, it was interesting to know that Ali Abdullah Saleh, the President of Yemen, after indicating for weeks that he would leave power at the height of protests, refused to cease power on the same day that bin Laden was killed. Yemen just happens to be a country that is infested with al-Qaeda.

For the moment however, this should be an exciting day for Americans and to offer some closure to those families affected by the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It is one step closer in combating Islamic terrorism in the Middle East. But when will the battle actually end? We may never know.

Target: Israel

 There seems to be a deep resentment against Israel lately at the height of the Middle East protests, and for a variety of reasons. Shiite Muslims want Israel gone so they can reclaim the 'promise land' and among the list of suspects include Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Muslm Brotherhood and yes even, Moammar Gaddafi.

You may be asking yourself why Muslims and al-Qaeda are currently allies right now with the United States to overthrow Gaddafi in Libya. Well, its very simple. If they can rat out the dictator, that means the people Gaddafi has controlled for over four decades will now come under the control of the Muslim Brotherhood, after all the clerical leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Yusuf al-Qaradawi called for an assassination on Gaddafi.

Isn't it also interesting that Egypt was the only country in the Middle East that helped keep the peace with Israel. After Hosni Mubarak's removal as President, Qaradawi, who was banned from Egypt for many years was seemingly allowed back into the country and he spoke in front of a crowd of the so called 'peaceful' protesters calling for the extermination of Jews.

You would think Adolph Hitler was resurrected. 

Switch back to September of 2010, when President Obama spoke at the United Nations calling for Palestine to become a State by 2011. See the trend?

I don't doubt for a moment that the early protests in Tunisia back in January were a result of people becoming fed up with dictatorial control, poverty, unemployment and shortages. However, there is seemingly an evil throughout the Middle East that have used these protests as a catalyst to do something far more worse.

Strangely, this President has not once called for unification with Israel during these times of crisis. He is a President that you simply cannot take seriously and he himself, seems to harbor some kind of resentment against Israel. If he does want a Palestine state to be established by the end of 2011, wouldn't that mean the removal of Israel? I can't see why a terrorist organization like Hamas would suddenly decide to surrender and become friends with Israel over night, since they are largely occupied in the Palestinian region.

But perhaps nobody is more anti-Israel than the Jew hater himself, George Soros, someone who actually participated in the extermination of Jews during Hitler's reign in Nazi Germany. He was quoted as saying"Israel is the major stumbling block for world peace."

Perhaps Soros and his puppet Obama actually want Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to throw a nuclear bomb in Israel's direction?

Yes, it is a serious question.

Truth behind Gaddafi's claim that al-Qaeda is responsible for Libyan unrest?

The usual delusional world of Muammar Gaddafi continued today as he once again singled out the terrorist network al-Qaeda, led by Osama bin Laden, as the reason why the unrest in Libya is happening.

We could go one step further and blame Charlie Sheen for the unrest as well... but we won't. Charlie Sheen is not worth anyone's time.

Gaddafi however, is somewhat correct about al-Qaeda having a presence in his country which he is loosing control of. Recently, al-Qaeda set up an Islamic emirate in Libya near Tripoli. However there has been no evidence of al-Qaeda influencing the people of Libya to rise up against Gaddafi's reign. On another note, the Muslim Brotherhood has had an influence on the unrest across the Middle East. Deciphering some of Gaddafi's rather strange and bizarre comments, there are some credible ties between the Muslim Brotherhood and terrorist groups throughout the region including al-Qaeda and Hamas.

It wouldn't hurt to say that such terrorist related groups in general, particularly Hamas and Hezbollah are primary reasons as to why the region is collapsing. Hamas notably has participated with al-Qaeda on a number of occasions, and Hamas' own charter identifies itself as associated with the Muslim Brotherhood.

Really? You might ask.

You may recall just last month, the clerical leader of the Muslim Brotherhood issued a fatwa calling for the assassination of Gaddafi. So from the standpoint that Hamas has worked with al-Qaeda and is associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, Gaddafi may have some legitimate points about al-Qaeda bearing some responsibility for the uprising in his country.

And Gaddafi is showing no signs of giving up power. While the United Nations imposed sanctions against Libya and declared a "no-fly" zone,  it is an estimated that at least a thousand or more people in Libya have been killed since the uprising, which Gaddafi is blamed for.

This is not to say that he is 100% correct with his allegations on al-Qaeda and there is no doubt that he is an insane and irrational individual, but the fact that the Muslim Brotherhood seemingly is committed to destabilizing the Middle East, one has to look at the frightening possibilities.  

Actually Gaddafi and Charlie Sheen, two insane individuals, may get along well...

Iran backs Lebanon; asks U.S. and Israel to stop interfering

The circus in the Middle East is asking the United States and Israel to stop interference with Lebanon's recently collapsed government. When I say circus, I'm referring to the joke that is Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Ahmadinejad responded on Lebanon's situation: "I tell the Zionists and the U.S. ... be ashamed of your interference in Lebanon and be sure that the Lebanese and regional nations will chop your dirty hands off." 


He went on to say that each time the United States interferes in any country in the Middle East, it makes things much more complicated and that Lebanon can take care of itself.

This is a president that is basically for the most part, offering safe haven to the Militant Shiite group Hezbollah, which effectively collapsed Lebanon's unity government last week when its representative ministers resigned because Hezbollah remains at the top of the list of an international tribunal in the assassination of former Lebanon Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Hezbollah is hoping to establish a new power in Lebanon and to possibly wage a new war on Israel sometime down the road.

Hezbollah has issued a warning that they will "cut off the hands" of anyone who blames any member of the group for Hariri assassination. But the pressure is mounting. While Lebanon's government remains ineffective for the most part, Israel is basically having to battle enemies from all sides by itself and will have one more thing to worry about if Hezbollah gets it way. On the same front, Iran has a nuclear program which is for the most part, aimed at Israel and resentment is harbored by other Middle East nations after Israel was accused of carrying out the assassination on a leader of Hamas.

Things right now in the Middle East are not at all calm. President Obama might want to start getting serious that this idea of international talks and relations is not working. The Middle East could care less about this idea of peace. They want Israel out. If the United States chooses to do nothing, that entire region of the world may become a much larger threat than was anticipated.

United Arab Emirates releases details on Hamas Assassination

The United Arab Emirates has decided to release information concerning the assassination of Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Mabhouh which happened in Dubai, a year ago. The release of the documents, courtesy of WikiLeaks, says that the small Arabian country cited the primary reason for wanting to release the diplomatic documents is because by keeping it quiet, this would seem like they were "siding with Israel."

Reuters reports that U.S. Ambassador Richard Olson wrote in the memo saying "two options discussed were to say nothing at all or to reveal more or less the full extent of the UAE's investigations... saying nothing would have been perceived as protecting the Israelis..." 

UAE officials claim that the assassination was carried out by Israel's intelligence agency, Mossad. Israel however is denying any knowledge about this, nor of any proof of Mossad behind the assassination of al-Mabhouh, although they do acknowledge keeping a close watch on suspected Hamas leaders for trying to smuggle weapons into the Gaza Strip.

What is interesting about this particular document is that it paints another very clear and grim picture of another Middle Eastern country, harboring a deep resentment against Israel.  Usually we always hear about countries such as Syria or Iran wanting to whip Israel off the face of the planet, but this time it is the United Arab Emirates, apparently appalled that Israel is suspected of assassinating a leader of a group like Hamas.

Well, so what!

Israel is doing whatever it can to protect itself from radical terrorist groups, even if it means taking out its leaders.

Keep doing the right thing Israel.

Worse than Watergate, Saudis financing Terrorism

What has to be worse than Watergate and the secrets uncovered during the Bush Administration over the War in Iraq, another released U.S. diplomatic cable from WikiLeaks indicates that Saudi Arabia is the world's largest financier of radical Islamic terrorism groups in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Incredible.

In one of the memos from December 2009, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says that "more needs to be done since Saudi Arabia remains a critical financial support base for al-Qaeda, the Taliban and Hamas which probably raises millions of dollars annually from Saudi sources... Saudi Arabia constitutes the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide..."

This is a country that is supposed to be the United States' ally in the Middle East. I'm curious as to how long Mrs. Clinton was going to fool the American people by going on propagating this charade of pretending to be friendly to Saudi Arabia, even though she had direct knowledge in these secret cables that the country was financing terrorism this entire time.

Here's just a side of advice for the Madam Secretary... resign!

The cable does indicate that Saudi Arabia has been attempting to block financing to terrorist networks in the Middle East, and also went to cite Arabia's bordering country, tiny little Qatar, another ally, as being the "worst in the region" concerning its counter-terrorism relationship with the United  States.

Perhaps Qatar, even though as small of a country as it is with the billions of dollars it has in resources as a kingdom, has the capabilities to deal with terrorist threats. But perhaps it is resistant to do so, because of Saudi Arabia's now leaked relationship in financing millions of dollars to these terrorist organizations that are committed to destroying Israel and the United States.

I'd suspect and would not be entirely surprised that the Middle Eastern region is nearly on the verge of breaking out into a massive war. Iraq is a disaster area, U.S. troops have been unsuccessful in their attempts to capture Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan, Iran has a nuclear program bent on whipping Israel off the face of the Earth and now Saudi Arabia one of few Middle East allies of the U.S. is financing terrorism throughout the entire region, while Secretary Clinton feels it was necessary to keep all of this completely secret from the American people.

It is just disgraceful.
