POPSDCCC: Obama 'more aggressive in fighting al Qaeda' than Bush Does this make anyone else just gag?!! What they call 'scoring points' I call sounding the alarm. And as far as putting "country before political party" concerning national security...that's just an outright lie and to suggest that we need to "learn from this episode" is the height of idiocy. Conservatives have looooong been aware of the ongoing and dangerous advancement of radical Muslim jihadists; we learned it already! How about the DCCC stop with the rhetoric and join the fight.

POPSInstant Karma: New US Target Gets Its Own Terror Icon Well, now they have their answer, by God! Alleged attempted terrorists allegedly trained in Yemen! What else do you need -- a freaking warrant or something? We would obviously be justified in nuking that desert hell-hole and everybody in it! Just think of it -- some guy with some kind of something on an airplane, right there in the Heartland! You gonna stand for that? Exterminate the brutes!

POPSReport: Bin Laden Daughter Escapes Captors "They are all just innocent victims, just the same as anyone else hurt by the dreadful events of 9/11 and 7/7. These babies and children have never had any education, never hurt a single soul, never trained with any weapons or ever been part of al-Qaeda," bin Laden told the paper. "We just want to be together as a family."............. Osama was a millionaire and his kids are uneducated...yet he educates young, dumb muslims to be martyrs for HIS Jihad

POPSMonkey to be sent to Mars Obscene, chilling, cruel, insane, immoral ... The question is not whether animals (or humans) have rights. It is by what right do humans carry out such horrors on the innocent? The answer is by their Might only. Which is against all ethical behaviour which by definition starts with Might is NOT right. If it was, every evil is permissible. As, indeed, it seems to be these days ...

POPSUN-Backed Troops Accused of Killing & Raping Civilians British-based organization Oxfam said. Human Rights Watch said it documented the killings of 732 civilians between January and September by the Congolese army and troops from neighboring Rwanda fighting alongside it. In the same period, it counted 701 civilians killed by the rebels they are fighting. “Some victims were tied together before their throats were, according to one witness, ’slit like chickens.’ The majority of the victims were women, children, and the elderly,” the group said. More than 7,500 cases of sexual violence against women and girls were registered at health centers during that nine-month period, nearly double that of 2008 and likely representing only a fraction of the total.

POPSBarack Obama Nobel Prize speech in Oslo Barack Obama puts religious fanaticism in its place, for both Muslims who kill innocents in the name of Islam, and Christians who butchered the innocent in the name of Christ during the Crusades.

POPSEd Meese Suddenly Worried About the Prison Population So, Ed Meese, we respectfully disagree with you, when you say that "liberal ideas of extending the power of the state" are to blame for an out-of-control criminal justice system. You are, after all, the Ed Meese who said once said this: U.S News & World Report: You criticize the Miranda ruling, which gives suspects the right to have a lawyer present before police questioning. Shouldn't people, who may be innocent, have such protection? Meese: Suspects who are innocent of a crime should. But the thing is, you don't have many suspects who are innocent of a crime. That's contradictory. If a person is innocent of a crime, then he is not a suspect."

POPSClimate - Lord Monckton Rap Battles Al Gore - Rap News re: Climate-gate: this vid was posted a few days before this incident took place - which is why no mention of it is made (no conspiracy of silence here!).

POPSDNA bungle shows 'lessons not learnt' TV probably convinced most that DNA was the panacea, but allowance for human error has to come in somewhere, so it should be able to be questioned. (I doubt it has much to do with the rich, who seem to be sloppy with their DNA.)

POPSBooster Shots Watch out what you are eating and drinking. Far from everything what can be swallowed really deserve such privilege. In this case it's probably unique genuine chemical formula and not bacterial contamination. You cannot forever mix some chemicals and promote it as panacea leading to paradise in health. It's not and this sad example is additional proof of it. We are not talking now about taste and tastes. Only filtered boiled tap water can be drunk without precaution and any threat to your body. All rest, even "innocent" herbal teas do sumtin inside and oh so often unpredictable. Even bottled water...

POPSThe Afghan Quagmire
So what would a rigorous public and internal administration debate have highlighted? First, the more occupation forces there are, the more they fuel the insurgency against the occupation, especially since so many more civilians than fighters lose their lives. Witness the wedding parties, villagers, and innocent bystanders blown up by the U.S. military’s superior weaponry. Second, there was a remarkable absence in Obama’s speech about the tribal conflicts and the diversity of motivations of those he lumped under the name of “Taliban.” Some are protecting their valleys, others are in the drug trade, others want to drive out the occupiers, others are struggling for supremacy between the Pashtuns on one side and the Tajiks and Uzbeks on the other (roughly the south against the north). The latter has been the substance of a continuing civil war for many years. Third, how can Obama’s plan begin to work, requiring a stable, functioning Afghan government—which now is largely a collection

POPSThe "just war" that was illegal and immoral Over the last few days I've been watching, on Sky News, reports on the British inquiry into British involvement in the Iraqi-American War. What I've heard and seen so far has confirmed my impression at the time, back in 2002-2003 -- that there was no real reason for the war other than that the leaders of Britain and the US wanted one. It was George Bush's second, and Tony Blair's third, since he was also one of the foremost proponents of the Nato war against Yugoslavia in 1999 (see earlier post). The inquiry evidence is all couched in careful diplomatic terms, presenting the evidence. But for evaluation of the issues at stake, this piece from The Telegraph, of all places, tells it like it is.

POPSCreech Air Force Base: A Place of Disbelief, Confusion and Sadness There is a disturbing contrast between aggressor and victim. The aggressor zooming around Las Vegas in a posh automobile, living a luxurious life style and launching missiles onto a target that is far away and the victim located in a village or inside a building on the Afghanistan Pakistan borders. There are over 200,000 people in internally displaced camps (IDP) in Afghanistan because of US bombardment and war. The number one enemy in Afghanistan is poverty. For many of those holding a presence outside of Creech Air Force Base, there is a look of total disbelief, confusion, and sadness. As the US troop presence in Afghanistan increases, the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) program will ramp up. Read about the actions in the local spotlight here and in the news here.
