EXPLOSIVE UPDATE Did Pelosi go to Syria to help engineer a Defeat in Iraq? ---- Latin American Press: Pelosi is Chavez' "Lackey" -- The Astute Bloggers, Gateway Pundit, Noticias 24 , and Atlas Shrugs

The South American news agencies were following the Democrat's historic move to change House rules and block a free trade agreement for the first time in American history.
Noticias 24 reported:

Nancy Pelosi, used as an excuse to work in the priority legislation and packages to resolve the financial crisis and economic slowdown in the United States. However, opposition to the trade pact may have more to do with the objections of the Democrats to President Uribe as personal...

So who is surprised?? This. is. who. they. are. And if you read the article in Investors Business Daily, Pelosi is destabilizing the entire region--and for what?? Why for the Worldwide Socialist Movement of course (one can just imagine the stirring notes of The Internationale coming from her billionaire husband's living room...) [snip]

UPDATE: TREASON??? Remember this picture?

Well, if the Chavez reports weren't reprehensible enough, Pam Geller has gotten her hands on a really hot story--if it is proven true. The allegation is that the sole purpose of the Pelosi-Santos "excursion" to Syria last year was to undermine US Iraq success using as a Proxy a Marxist Kurdish organization, the PKK. Strategy: to help ensure an American LOSS in Iraq by planning with the Kurdish terror organization to attack US supply lines. (continue reading)

Website calls on Israeli Arabs to avoid dressing after consumer discovers it contains alcohol (YNET)

"In recent days, another product was added to the list of products forbidden to Muslims because they contain alcohol," the website said. "Khatib discovered that the dressing contains alcohol and is sold naturally and inadvertently at Arab and Muslim shops."

Keep digging yourself into a hole Obama ... keep digging.

A redistribution of pie? Communist goal?….revealing? Glenn Beck thinks so…

Bad Bad Basra, by Great Satan's Girlfriend and the Daily Ramble:

After recent claims of vacuuming (and in an ironically funny way - because they truly SUCK), the Basra battle may have indeed been the IRRGC's attempt to snag an oil rich (shia) provincial capital, landlock Iraq in a sea of Shia pockets and begin regional realization RE: the infamous crescent from Persia to the Med.

Basra has always been a fave of the Mullahs. Iran had besieged Basra for nearly 6 years during the horrible Iran Iraq war with nothing to show for it but metric tonnes of martyrs. 100's of K's of casualities and failed assaults (many times using kids ducktaped together armed with plastic keys to the gates of Paradise) against fixed machine gun and blister agent kill zones. These teenage voltiguers (Besijis in Persian) were horrifically exploited for 'Karbala' Offensives essentially for naught.

Despite being Shia heavy - Basra never really swung the Ayatollah way back in the day and resisted the Iranian (continue reading)

Israel’s Prime Minister Refuses To Meet With President Jimmy Carter, from Arutz Sheva via Pat Dollard:

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has turned down a request from former American president Jimmy Carter for a meeting during his visit to Israel next week. The Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni both said that their schedules will not allow a meeting, but an anonymous Israeli official told the Washington Times, “You draw your own conclusions.” Other officials have expressed anger at Carter’s proposed meeting with Syrian-based Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal.

However, President Shimon Peres, Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Israel Is Our Home (Yisrael Beiteinu) leader Knesset Member Avigdor Lieberman have scheduled to meet with the former president, whose recent book compares Israeli policies on the Palestinian Authority (PA) with former apartheid policies in South Africa.

Carter is scheduled to visit Sderot as well as Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah before traveling to Syria.

Iran replaces al Qaeda as top threat in Iraq, from Libertarian Leanings

[snip]

We shall wait and see if Arab religious distrust overwhelms political opportunity. The decline of al Qaeda may possibly provide a little breathing room for Arab despots who use the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, in the words of Fouad Ajami, "in the hope of tranquilizing their own domains and buying off the embittered in their midst."

What will the establishment of a stable and democratic Iraq mean for the Middle East? If, as Michael Doran said in Foreign Affairs in 2003, the road to a calmer situation in Palestine runs through Baghdad, it may mean there are finally real chances for peace in the Middle East. Before the the Sunni dominated Arab governments in the region bring themselves to recognize Israel, they will first be urged to recognize the Shiite led government in Iraq.

Rick Santorum calls for all-out-war with Radical Islam, Infidels are Cool and Yale Daily News

Amid a chorus of condemning hisses, supportive banging and outright laughter, former Republican Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum argued for war with radical Islam at the Yale Political Union debate Thursday night. [snip]

“We absolutely must confront this enemy,” he said. “The real question is ‘Will the American People be willing to fight?’ ”[snip]

“How can you be at war against a military tactic?” he asked. “FDR had the courage to offend people and called the Germans Nazis, and the Italians Fascists … Congress, on the other hand, has sugarcoated the enemy so as not to offend anyone. Seven years into a war and people still can’t tell the difference between Sunni and Shi’a.”

Between Pelosi and Carter I would not be surprised if they are plotting to turn this nation into a sharia law toting Islamanized nation.

They are pathetic. Good reads.

Whoa - what a head spin the ME is - thanks for zooming out and looking regionally Deb - The Pelosi, Carter Axis (and all it entails - like PPK, - the fact that Hiz'B'Allah tends to threaten Lebanon more than they threaten the cats that just wacked their 'dear brother commander;, the AL Summit - Mookies Minions in Basra)

Not only is Michelle Obama bad at Math she is also bad at Economics, American History, Ancient World History, Logic, Rhetoric, and what in the world are they teaching these people over at Harvard, Yale, and wherever else Affrimative Action allowed these two to attend!
