POPSCarter in the Mideast Carter was quoted as saying that Hamas would agree to a peace deal with the Israelies. Hamas quickly denied that to the press as soon as Carter had left. Anyone surprised?

POPSStudents protest, joined by Navy Vet. facing 3rd deployment "I'm sick and tired of my students being sent to die for reasons they're told are noble," McVay said. McVay said it's time for the government to stop deluding soldiers. "They are telling them that they are protecting us against terrorism that is coming to our shores. … They are lying," McVay said. There were anti-war and peace signs strewn across the quad beside an area that contained about 4,000 Popsicle sticks with the names of U.S. military personnel who have died as a result of the war.

POPS Senior Saudi Prince Offers Israel "Peace Vision" He said Israel could expect some benefits on the way to signing a treaty and making a full withdrawal, noting that after the 1993 Oslo interim accords with the Palestine Liberation Organisation, regional cooperation had begun and the Jewish state had achieved representation in several Arab states. Israel was wary of the Arab League plan partly because it would entail handing back the Syrian Golan Heights captured in the 1967 Middle East war, as well as re-dividing Jerusalem, of which Israel annexed the captured Arab eastern part in 1967.

POPSEXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!
I launched a new project today: Political Action News and this clip, above, is the lead item in the one-page web. Other stories (all just one paragraph or two, with link to major news source) are: -- Hybrid Progress at Auto Show -- White House erases email evidence -- This week's top (USA) election events -- US Marine on the Run: Rape & Murder? -- Federal Reserve & Corporate Bank Robbery -- Israeli-Palestinian Violence Grows Worse and a regular feature/link, changing weekly (like the news) is: 'This Weeks' Comic Surprise' and the first ''comic surprise is: The New Halliburton/Bush Coins (a hilariously YouTube type video, shown on MSNBC Countdown last night) Lots of pictures, each worth a thousand words. A prime emphasis is not to bull*shit. Mainstream media doesn't cut to the core; it's vague and uncommitted; it doesn't call a spade a spade. But I do. 4sure. Tell your Ma. Tell your Pa. Tell your clippers and friends. It's worth a bookmark, IMHO. Clipmarks

POPS Bush delivers arms sale to Saudi Arabia So he's selling $20 billion in advanced U.S. weapons to authoritarian regimes... but at least he's spreading democracy. Why does it seem like a bad idea to pump another $20 billion of weapons and weapon technology into an already war-torn region? "Top among the reasons are the chaos in Iraq that followed the 2003 U.S.-led invasion and the widespread Arab feeling that the United States is biased toward Israel and not serious in seeking Mideast peace." No! It's because they hate our FREEDOM! Not because we continue to occupy their holy land, pump weapons into their countries, and try to overthrow their governments... surely that has nothing to do with it. Last I heard, most of the hijackers who perpetrated the 9/11 tragedy were from Saudi Arabia and UAE, two of the countries we are now selling weapons to... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organizers_of_the_September_11,_2001_attacks

POPSIn the Name of Credibilty Israel should stop the settlements. If you want to be able to totally unleash upon the aggressors you need to first hold up your end. If Israel would clear out the way they did in Gaza, then they would have credibility in defending against the continuing rocket and missile attacks and bombings. And, no doubt they would continue,there would be little or no reason to hold back on destroying Hamas, Hezbollah,et al. Till then, they have to settle for directed shots at the terrorist leaders and the slow deadly drone.

POPSOlmert Rules Out Truce Talks With Hamas The Israeli military has struck hard in recent weeks against Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza. With troops appearing to make substantial gains, Olmert told his Cabinet there were no plans to slow down. "Operations against terrorists will continue as they have been conducted for many months," Olmert said. "There is no other way to describe what is happening in the Gaza Strip except as a true war between the Israeli army and terror groups." He said Israel would continue to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza to protect the area's civilians. Israel sealed its borders with Gaza immediately after Hamas violently wrested control of the territory in June. Israel, which considers Hamas a terrorist group, has cut off most trade and reduced fuel shipments to the area. Palestinians claim east Jerusalem and the West Bank, areas captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war, as part of their future state. Some 450,000 Israelis live in these areas.

POPSMake LOVE, Not WAR. Well SEX A U.S. porn invasion might not do as much to change hearts and minds in the Middle East as, say, toning down President Bush's bullying rhetoric toward the region or putting more pressure on Israelis and Palestinians to settle their differences. But it's a lot more likely to happen.

POPSHarsh Words for Iran at Mideast Forum http://OkieLogic.com Interesting. This Article made me take a long hard pause to consider what we see brewing here. On one hand, you'd think Iran's neighbors wouldn't be pushing Iran in the way this article portrays them to be. Simply out of fear that, just as is said, the fight will spill into the rest of the nations in the Middle East. On the other hand. Maybe; in fact PROBABLY, The Arab neighbors of Iran are well aware that an attack on Iran will consist exclusively of "safe-for-civilian nukes". That may mean that the guy who wrote the source article for the following clip was right http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/9B1BEDF4-1E07-4665-834B-B78ABBDC102D/ "fire destruction prophesied" Harry Truman What's next? A Nuclear Baby? True Peace? WELL, Whatever it is, it's coming fast. http://OkieLogic.com

POPSJerusalem plans new building in East, provoking Palestinians Deliberate provocation?? Here's more: "Jerusalem is one of the most volatile flashpoints in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel insists the city is its undivided capital, although some officials have signaled a willingness to cede control of outlying Arab neighborhoods." "It has also built its major settlement blocs on West Bank land just outside east Jerusalem, and says it intends to hold on to it in any final peace deal." "Many Palestinians fear Jerusalem will never be split between them and the Israelis, making peace impossible." After 40 years of construction, the Jewish population of east Jerusalem is now 190,000, narrowing the gap with the Arab population of 240,000, according to government statistics."
