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. <BR/><BR/>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. <BR/><BR/>In between the trips to the mall this holiday season it is a must do trip. <BR/>And bring the kids.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-1164582855372909662006-11-26T18:14:00.001-05:002006-11-26T18:14:00.001-05:00"For the record, I have never suggested the ouster..."<I>For the record, I have never suggested the ouster of anyone for the exercise of free speech.

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. <BR/>...<BR/>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.<BR/>...<BR/>Bush appears skeptical of approaches to Iran and Syria but, following electoral losses, he says he is open to new ideas.<BR/><BR/>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.<BR/><BR/>"Go back, and take your forces to behind your borders."</I><BR/><BR/>Negotiation begin 5DEC at the Arab League Meeting in Cairo. <BR/>Cairo site of the Conference, where opposition to US Occupation was approved.<BR/><BR/>Cannot wait to see what the reAuthorization of Occupation, due to be approved 31Dec06, is going to look like.desert rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369546288659566961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-1164576210045381812006-11-26T16:23:00.000-05:002006-11-26T16:23:00.000-05:00"nutritional""nutritional"Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-1164576172956340102006-11-26T16:22:00.000-05:002006-11-26T16:22:00.000-05:00Rope a dope indeed.T's next post will whail about ...Rope a dope indeed.<BR/>T's next post will whail about inhumane nutrional standards at Gitmo.<BR/>---<BR/><A HREF="http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=25655" REL="nofollow"><STRONG>All's Well in the PC War on the Homefront</STRONG> </A><BR/><BR/>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.<BR/><BR/>Come to think of it, the whole affair may have been a madcap advertising scheme cooked up by US Airways.<BR/><BR/>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.<BR/><BR/>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.<BR/><BR/>What threat could Muslims flying from Minnesota to Arizona be?<BR/><BR/>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.<BR/><BR/>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.<BR/><BR/>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.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-1164575501271840202006-11-26T16:11:00.000-05:002006-11-26T16:11:00.000-05:00The Giant Rope-a-Dope Program.The Mohammedan nuke ...The Giant Rope-a-Dope Program.<BR/><BR/>The Mohammedan nuke Haifa and we go "All In"desert rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369546288659566961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-1164575450268671132006-11-26T16:10:00.000-05:002006-11-26T16:10:00.000-05:00See, even Ms T has signed on to the Master Plan, n...See, even Ms T has signed on to the Master Plan, now.desert rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369546288659566961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-1164575150719760932006-11-26T16:05:00.000-05:002006-11-26T16:05:00.000-05:00allen quoted:"...By destroying Israel, they will c...<B>allen</B> quoted:<BR/><BR/><I>"...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..."</I><BR/><BR/>For about three-quarters of an hour maybe, that's how long it takes Minuteman missiles to complete their arc over the north pole.Teresitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05528002521904908827noreply@blogger.com
