POPSNetanyahu, The Real Threat to Peace in the Middle East Hey Israel, do not elect this Likud party war-monger who has direct ties to the neoconservatives of the Bush administration! No more neocons or Likudniks who only foment wars without just cause. His point about "trumping economics" is also ridiculous and proves his lack of sanity. WAR HAS INCREASED US NATIONAL DEBT UNDER BUSH, DEVALUED THE DOLLAR, RAISED OIL PRICES...EVERYTHING THAT HURT THE ECONOMY. So Bibi (his nick), don't try and sell us more wars for "regime change". Neither has Iran ever attacked another country, while Israel (who has WMDs) has. In fact Israel has attacked three countries within the last 24 months--Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza. Netanyahu is also close friends of Larry Silverstein, lease owner of the WTC complex that was demolitioned on 9/11 which ignited the pre-planned wars for a "new middle east" laid out in the Project for New American Century's Sept. 2000 blueprint. Note the elections follow Gaza.

POPSIf a Liberal Calls a Black Man Inexperienced, Is It Still Racist? Obama: I’m Right Even When I’m Wrong Pastor Warren asked the candidates “What’s the most gut-wrenching decision you’ve ever had to make and what was the process you used to make it?” Obama answered that it was his decision to oppose the war in Iraq. He said, “I was firmly convinced at the time that we did not have strong evidence of weapons of mass destruction…” Steve Gilbert of Sweetness & Light points out that Iraq’s supposed lack of WMDs was not the reason he gave in his speech on the Illinois Senate floor in 2002. At that time, Obama acknowledged that Saddam Hussein has WMDs. He said, “He has repeatedly defied UN resolutions, thwarted UN inspection teams, developed chemical and biological weapons, and coveted nuclear capacity.”

POPSABC, FBI Punk'd by Terror 'Fan Video' "The intel community appears to have (once again) fallen victim to poorly researched open source news reporting," writes Evan Kohlmann over at the Counterterrorism Blog. Look, reporters get stories wrong all the time. And ABC, to its credit, has revised its original report... but only slightly. There's a caveat from Venzke buried in the piece. The headline now reads: "Al Qaeda Supporters' Tape to Call for Use of WMDs." The quote from FBI spokesman Kolko remains the same. Video is here: http://worldanalysis.net/postnuke/html/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1016 Read more at source...

POPSBill Maher is losing his edge! Maher's lost it While I was watching last Friday, I kept wondering WTF...why is he letting these jazzbos get away with that? He just sits there with a dumb look on his face. I kept hoping he would say something--but no. Maher's definitely lost his edge and I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw it...I thought it was me. I should trust my own instincts more, neh? Hey Bill, if by some odd chance you are reading this---WAKE THE FUCK UP OR GET OFF THE TUBE! a useta be fan... However, Matt Taibbi was great...his amusement of the panel's idiocy and sharp comments were the only part of last week's show worth watchin'. But then Taibbi's alway wunnerful.

POPSThe National Guard Is Coming Home Five years ago, George Bush called the Guard into national service pursuant to the 2002 Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF) against Iraq. The AUMF, passed by Congress in its rush to war, established a limited mission: First, the removal of Saddam Hussein from power; second, enforcement of preceding United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding the elimination of alleged Iraqi WMDs and ballistic missiles. The Vermont bill recognizes that those two mission objectives are complete and that the national service of the Vermont Guard is over; the bill recalls the Guard to state control.

POPSNeocon Administration Covers Pakistan's Nuclear Proliferation Consider the hypocrisy of accusing Iraq of WMDs, or Iran of nuclear technology, while they knew that Pakis (an ally) were selling nuclear technology to "rogue states". It is also interesting that Pakistan was the place where the CIA was training Islamists in the 90s which later they labeled Al Qaeda. Meanwhile, as the article show, billions of US dollars are literally given to Pakistan for "aid" while they do all this? Pakistan appears to be the conduit for creating enemies which then are used to justify U.S. wars against "rogue regimes". By the way, it was the CIA that provided Iran over a decade ago with technology to begin nuclear development.

POPSWhat the UK REALLY thinks. Warning! Must have a sense of Humour! It is the same idiot now as then. It's a case of the emperor has NO CLOTHS. He never had! It's the same COWARD that is c-in-c now as then. If someone was smart they would stop digging that hole deeper. If they were smart?! I can now say anything, ANYTHING derogatory about AWOL himself and NO ONE will be defending him - except the odd crackpot or religious nut, who still chooses to believe WMDs were in Iraq before the ILLEGAL INVASION. They feel they must, to justify all the dead Americans and Iraqi. What did he say again? "Bring it on". How DEEP will his cave be after 2008, if he doesn't create another 911??? How long before he's boozed up and legless. He's a comic now, imagine him with Jack Daniels! How deep is that hole now? Go on, throw yourself on the mercy of the court. We have a heart, even if...
