POPSSomalia: Another Western Stooge bits the dust. Is it now too late for Bush and America to prolong the suffering of the Somalian people and attempt further undemocratic means of prevent the will of the majority of the people from prevailing? Will the US withdraw its lackey Ethiopia from meddling in an other's business? Will the US ever forgive Somalia from the hiding it received against its best by a rag-band prepared to stand up to international bullying? How many enemies does it need to maintain 'fortress America' and live in perpetual fear?

POPSObama Lebih Merugikan Dunia Islam Cara yang digunakan McCain lebih menguntungkan dunia Islam, karena aksi terang-terangan biasanya akan membangkitkan kekuatan umat Islam yang terpendam. Karena umat Islam menyadari mengalami bahaya, sehingga mampu mengantisipasi dan mengurangi kerugian. Sedangkan Demokrat akan menjalankan kebijakan yang sama, tapi secara halus, sehingga umat Islam akan terus dirugikan dan tidak mampu memiliki alasan kuat untuk menghadapi kerugian tersebut. Di sisi lain, Obama akan tampil lebih loyal terhadap Israel. Misalnya, Obama tidak pernah menutup-nutupi dukungannya terhadap Israel. Ia berjanji akan menambah dukungan terhadap Israel sebesar 30 milyar dollar. Pada konferensi tahunan American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), Obama berjanji akan menjadikan Yerusalem (Al-Quds) sebagai ibukota Israel tanpa bisa diganggu-gugat. Obama juga mengatakan, "Israel adalah mukjizat bagi Timur Tengah." Selain itu, loyalitas Obama terhadap Israel tampak pada dukungannya terhadap penyerangan Suriah, deng

POPSBack to The Future * In 1979, he shared Carter's starry-eyed belief that the fall of the shah in Iran and the advent of the ayatollahs represented progress for human rights. Throughout the hostage crisis, as US diplomats were daily paraded blindfolded in front of television cameras and threatened with execution, he opposed strong action against the terrorist mullahs and preached dialogue. * Biden opposed President Ronald Reagan's proactive policy against the Soviet Union. Biden was all for détente - which, in practice, meant Western subsidies that would have enabled the moribund USSR to cling to life and continue doing mischief. Had Biden had his way, "the Evil Empire" would still be around and Saddam Hussein still in power. The US would still be begging the mullahs of Tehran for forgiveness of unspecified "past sins" - and more American hostages would be seized in the Middle East while the mullahs celebrate their first atomic bombs.

POPSPresident for Internationalization of Peacemaking Process in Georgia Speaking about scheduled meeting of the leaders in Tbilisi Presiden stressed that its aim is forming basis for talks with regard to all the conditions and positions of the sides. “It is clear that for Georgia a question of territorial integrity is very topical”, - he added. Another question important for Georgia, as President Yushchenko noted, is participation of peacemakers with good reputation in the process of regulation of the conflict. “It is clear that the peacekeepers who started shooting people do not deserve confidence. Today we must internationalize the peacemaking format and to make it open for other countries … I am sure that such countries as Ukraine could send their peacemakers within the framework of international mandate to demonstrate clear-cut guarantees of the obligations that may appear in the nearest future”, - he said.

POPSRule by fear or rule by law?
The government has also contracted with several companies to build thousands of railcars, some reportedly equipped with shackles, ostensibly to transport detainees. According to diplomat and author Peter Dale Scott, the KBR contract is part of a Homeland Security plan titled ENDGAME, which sets as its goal the removal of "all removable aliens" and "potential terrorists." Fraud-busters such as Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Los Angeles, have complained about these contracts, saying that more taxpayer dollars should not go to taxpayer-gouging Halliburton. But the real question is: What kind of "new programs" require the construction and refurbishment of detention facilities in nearly every state of the union with the capacity to house perhaps millions of people? Sect. 1042 of the 2007 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), "Use of the Armed Forces in Major Public Emergencies," gives the executive the power to invoke martial law. For the first time in more than a century, the presiden

POPSAnd your Bupati may be blogging too Here's another piece of evidence that Indonesian office holders are leaving their Malaysian counterparts eating the dust. According to Warta e-Gov, as picked up by Nukman Luthfie, at least 18 top public office holders from the President down either have a website or a blog.

POPSCHENEY: Washington's Zelig by Eleanor Clift. MSNBC Gold, a slight man with wispy white hair and a hair-trigger temperament calls Bush “President Dodo.” He’s known Bush since the ’80 campaign, and while he doesn’t really think he’s dumb, he knows he can be manipulated. “He’s playing the role of president, strutting around,” says Gold. “He’s the weakest president in my memory.”
