In this photo released by Hamas, Thursday, Nov. 23, 2006, Palestinian Fatma Omar An-Najar is seen before carrying out a suicide bombing next to Israeli soldiers in the northern Gaza Strip. The 64-year-old Palestinian grandmother blew herself up near Israeli troops sweeping through northern Gaza on Thursday, accenting a day of clashes and rocket fire that threaten to derail fragile efforts for a cease-fire. There are conflicting reports that the old girl was told she was going to recover her virginity and enjoy explosive orgasms.Photograph by : AP Photo/Hamas

Oh the mental images - I am scarred for life.... GAG ME WITH A PLACE SETTING.
MARK STEYN a Sun-Times Columnist writes about granny, but sees it in a bit more serious way than triton.
ReplyDeleteMr Steyn seems not as concerned with orgasms as he does with children.
Where granny, there in the Gaza had her first child at age 12, and had 41 grandchildren when she went to pieces. The children and grandchildren are all so proud.

Then, for a lengthy read, I'd reccomend this Newsweek piece

"recover her virginity and enjoy explosive orgasms"
ReplyDeleteBoth at once?
On the other hand, given what "they say" about the sexual habits of arabs, she may not have know what an orgasm is like, but I guess the promise of explosive orgasms was hard to resist.
Still, its a creative way to make the mother in law usefull. Man could learn from that. Given the demographic crisis in the West, any method that can turn a 64 y.o. grandma into a military asset needs to be examined seriously. I will send a dispatch to the NATO summit forwith.

This is why we all can't just get along:

"[M]ilitants promised to halt rocket attacks in exchange for an Israeli withdrawal from the impoverished coastal territory."
They PROMISED and a Muslim will always keep his word; it's in the Koran.
On the other hand, given what "they say" about the sexual habits of arabs, she may not have know what an orgasm is like, but I guess the promise of explosive orgasms was hard to resist.
ReplyDeleteThe good news is that she gets her virginity back. The bad news is that she's gonna be one of Yassir Arafat's 72 virgins, and his idea of an explosive orgasm tends to be more literal than metaphoric.
Well, rufus, you are correct, those folk look like voters, but then so do these
ReplyDelete“March for Dignity and Bolivarian Rebellion” and marched over 15 kilometers—nearly the entire length of Caracas—involved 2.5 million demonstrators. Other estimates said that the number of demonstrators was closer to several hundred thousand.
Plus the 100,000 new AKs
Mr Chavez has been building his "base"
Chavez said he wants to “reactivate the Electoral Battle Units” (UBEs), which had first been activated during the recall referendum. These UBEs are made up of supporters who campaign and recruit campaign volunteers with the aim of attaining 10 million votes out of a projected 16 million registered voters on December 3, 2006. Venezuela’s electoral registry currently has 14 million voters.
2 million "new" voters.
The good news is that she gets her virginity back. The bad news is that she's gonna be one of Yassir Arafat's 72 virgins, and his idea of an explosive orgasm tends to be more literal than metaphoric.
ReplyDeleteGiven what "they said" about Arafats preferences, she is likely to remain untouched.
On the other hand, its kind of like an Islamic valhalla. After marrying Arafat in evening, and spending all night in the mosque not getting f***ed (ladies, the lads do get f***ed), they get to blow yourself up in the morning explosive orgasm, only for the garbage collectors to collect the scattered limbs and Allah can glue them together again by afternoon. In time for the wedding with Arafat.
And so it repeats, every single day, until Ragnarok.
Enjoy Jihad.

ReplyDeletere: "How can the people be segregated from the combatants, when they are one and the same?"
I. By an overwhelming majority, the Palestinian people elected the Hamas government. Hamas advocates the destruction of the state of Israel.
II. The result of every poll done, to date, shows that at least 70-80% of the Palestinian people favor suicide-murder attacks on Israeli civilians.
The short answer to your question, as borne out by the data, is that no meaningful distinction can be made.
Who knows, now that the 5,280th ceasefire has broken down, Mr. Olmert and his peace partners may hit pay-dirt with ceasefire 5,281.

rufus,
ReplyDeletere: “Allen, your Bush Derangement Syndrome is getting tedious.”
You are, of course, entitled to your opinion.
You did not indicate, however, whether you agree with Habu_1 that I support “Jewish terrorism”? Inquiring minds want to know.
You see, I must ask because of a discomforting comment you made recently in reference to foreign espionage:
“rufus said...
Another "Friend" of China - and Israel.
3:54 PM, NOVEMBER 24, 2006”
GERMANY
When you listed only China and Israel as the potential recipients of illegally procured American technological applications, you knew full well that Germany had been approached as well. So why the blatant effort to vilify Israel, solely placing it conspicuously in the same company as the known US adversary China?
Now, I have no problem with a fan routing for the home team; I just want to make sure the scoreboard isn’t rigged.
Whether you stay or go is up to you. For the record, I have never suggested the ouster of anyone for the exercise of free speech. Indeed, I do not recall anyone calling for the removal of Habu_1. Once more you project.
Putting On Serious Hat/
ReplyDeleteDR,
I read Steyn's piece at the link Lucienne provided first thing this morning.
When we speak of The Islamic Bomb, the bomb that most of us envision has a giant mushroom on the top...
It just may be that The Real Islamic Bomb, the one worthy of the greatest attention, might be the demographic bomb currently ticking just about everywhere that a significant number Muslims have immigrated (i.e. Britain, Continental Europe, etc...).
In my opinion, they are far more likely to prevail in this war using the demographic bomb (slow cooking the frog, so to speak) as opposed to the impact that a nuke on the Hudson would likely generate...
(Here in the Land Of The 2nd Amendment, I rather suspect that those of us who have chosen to exercise our 2nd Amendment Rights will start playing Cowboys And Muslims rather than knuckle under to Sharia Law as dhimmis or forced converts to the death cult. My daughter will NEVER wear a burhka.)
Back on topic... call it the Crock Pot Approach versus the Microware Approach.
I hope we pull our heads from our @sses before it's too late to preempt either one.
DR has it right, we're fighting a dysfunctional culture.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that this culture is relying on our collective conscience to maintain its effectiveness.
Until we realize that we really cannot seperate the parties we will continue to bleed.
During the recent conflict in Lebanon I took the position that everything and everybody with the lebanese borders were valid targets for the IDF. I was roundly excoriated for this, but I remain of that opinion.
If an apartment building becomes a launching site, destroy the building. There is no reason for us to feel squeemish as granny clearly illustrates. She's a martyr, inshallah and all that bullshit.
They don't care about human life, but the clearly understand that we do. Their problem is that if the conflict escalates we have a clear track record of shedding our inhibitions in an effort at survival. We went from passing a draft by one vote to firebombing dresden in a few short years.
What makes absolutely no sense to me is the stasis that the arabs are willing to maintain. They cannot win with the these tactics alone and they live in squalor as a result. But they seem fine with that.
More inshallah? Who is to say?

THE IMMORALITY OF FIGHTING A WAR MORALLY

The Immorality of Fighting a War Morally
ReplyDelete"The dilemma shared by Israel and America is just this: If by fighting morally, we cannot win a limited war, we create the conditions which will ensure the fighting of an unlimited war."
"If Israel remains constrained by their ROE to conduct a "civilized" war with an uncivilized opponent, they will lose. You cannot beat an opponent who gets "free shots" at you without risking a response."
ReplyDelete___ShrinkWrapped
"Iran needs to destroy Israel for several reasons, not just theological, but political and strategic, as well. By destroying Israel, they will cement their place at the vanguard of militant Islam; in effect, Iran will emerge as the pre-eminent nation in the Muslim world. It would not end there, of course. Destroying Israel would only be the end of the beginning of the age of Iranian based Islamic terror.
ReplyDeleteIsrael, by behaving morally, is guaranteeing more Israeli deaths and genuinely risking the destruction of the Jewish state. This is the height of immorality and the Israeli leadership seem to be unaware that their aspirations to civilized behavior are not only dangerously corrupt, but risk the worst imaginable outcomes."

rufus was good enough to let US know that some "sources" in Iraq are not 100% reliable. As Mr Rumsfeld was fond of saying "First reports are not always reliable". No matter who was reporting, first.
Mr al-Sadr, according to Mr Semor's quotes in Newsweek, just sorta "fell thru the cracks" in Iraq.
The Marines did not want to "take him" and resisted the Mission. Did not want to deal with the riots that were sure to follow.
That was then, when there was no Mahdi Army. Now 20,000 Mohammedan Mahdi have guns.
What a riot that'll make.

All's Well in the PC War on the Homefront
The idea that a Muslim boycott against US Airways would hurt the airline proves that Arabs are utterly tone-deaf. This is roughly the equivalent of Cindy Sheehan taking a vow of silence. How can we hope to deal with people with no sense of irony? The next thing you know, New York City cab drivers will be threatening to bathe.
Come to think of it, the whole affair may have been a madcap advertising scheme cooked up by US Airways.
It worked with me. US Airways is my official airline now. Northwest, which eventually flew the Allah-spouting Muslims to their destinations, is off my list. You want to really hurt a U.S. air carrier's business? Have Muslims announce that it's their favorite airline.
The clerics had been attending an imam conference in Minneapolis (imam conference slogan: "What Happens in Minneapolis – Actually, Nothing Happened in Minneapolis"). But instead of investigating the conference, the government is now investigating my favorite airline.
What threat could Muslims flying from Minnesota to Arizona be?
Three of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 received their flight training in Arizona. Long before the attacks, an FBI agent in Phoenix found it curious that so many Arabs were enrolled in flight school. But the FBI rebuffed his request for an investigation on the grounds that his suspicions were based on the same invidious racial profiling that has brought US Airways under investigation and into my good graces.
Lynne Stewart's client, the Blind Sheik, Omar Abdel-Rahman, is serving life in prison in a maximum-security lock-up in Minnesota. One of the six imams removed from the US Airways plane was blind, so Lynne Stewart was the one missing clue that would have sent all the passengers screaming from the plane.
Wholly apart from the issue of terrorism, don't we have a seller's market for new immigrants? How does a blind Muslim get to the top of the visa list? Is there a shortage of blind, fanatical clerics in this country that I haven't noticed? Couldn't we get some Burmese with leprosy instead? A 4-year-old could do a better job choosing visa applicants than the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

ReplyDeleteIt gets better and better
ReplyDeleteBy Mussab Al-Khairalla and Alastair Macdonald
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The motorcade of Iraq's prime minister was pelted with stones on Sunday by fellow Shi'ites in a Baghdad slum when he paid respects to some of the 200 who died there last week in the deadliest attack since the U.S. invasion.
The anger in Sadr City, stronghold of the Medhi Army Shi'ite militia, boiled over on the third day of a curfew imposed on the capital by Nuri al-Maliki's U.S.-backed national unity coalition as it scrambled desperately to stop popular passions exploding into all-out civil war between Shi'ites and the Sunni minority.
"It's all your fault!" one man shouted as, in unprecedented scenes, a crowd began to surge around Maliki. Men and youths then jeered and jostled as his armored convoy edged through the throng away from a mourning ceremony for one of the 202 victims of Thursday's multiple car bomb attack in Sadr City.
...
King Abdullah of Jordan, who will host a summit in Amman, said "something dramatic" must come out of it because Iraq was "beginning to spiral out of control". He urged an inclusive approach across the Middle East to avert that and two other possible civil wars -- in Lebanon and involving Palestinians.
...
Bush appears skeptical of approaches to Iran and Syria but, following electoral losses, he says he is open to new ideas.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Sunday that he was ready to help -- if they left now: "The Iranian nation is ready to help you get out of that swamp on one condition ... You should pledge to correct your attitude," he said on television.
"Go back, and take your forces to behind your borders."

ReplyDeleteTriangle Offense Returns In Record Time
“‘Gaza cease-fire takes hold, attacks continue,’ a headline that practically defines oxymoron for all practical purposes. A cease-fire takes hold when all sides cease firing.” (In the interest of fairness and to avoid the accusation of misrepresentation and/or BDS, certainly Madame Rice would find fault with the Captain’s painting in too broad strokes.)
“[T]here will be no cease fire at all, ever, until the Palestinians agree to the two-state solution or the Palestinians annihilate the Israelis.” (Again, in the interest of balance and to stifle accusations of excessive negativity, the State Department would not paint so bleak a picture.)

And that's the reason why I am not worried about whether or not we'll prevail... my hope, though, was that we'd adopt the dresden posture before we felt compelled to by a 2nd mass casualty event.
By the look of things, unless Iran does something galactically stupid like nuke Tel Aviv, I fear that we're destined to see that 2nd MCE.
I hope it misses me and mine if for no other reason than to see justice FINALLY done.

Weekend on the Mall [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
ReplyDeleteFrom a reader:
Speaking of gratitude and the armed services I can not say enough about the magnificent new US Marines Museum .
It is a masterful bit of public education, both in explaining the individual experience of being a Marine and in giving a sense of 20th century military history. It is also utterly devoid of political correctness and political commentary, and rightly so. You cannot leave without a sense of awe and gratitude for these magnificent people.
In times when sacrifice is ridiculed, bravery is minimized and gallantry ignored it is a fitting and moving reminder that all political, religious and economic freedoms are earned and defended by the armed forces.
In between the trips to the mall this holiday season it is a must do trip.
