Weekend Levantine Turmoil Open Comments

Benjamin Netanyahu calmly tells President Obama exactly how the cow ate the cabbage:

h/t: Jihad Watch
From our friends at Wikipedia:
Benjamin Netanyahu
A graduate of MIT and Harvard, Netanyahu is the first and only Israeli prime minister born in Israel after the State of Israel’s foundation. Netanyahu joined the Israeli Defense Forces in 1967 where he served as a commander in the elite Sayeret Matkal commando unit, taking part in many missions including the hostages rescue mission from the hijacked Sabena Flight 571 in 1972 (coincidentally under the leadership of Ehud Barak). He fought in the Yom Kippur War in 1973 and achieved the rank of captain before being discharged. Netanyahu served as the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations from 1984 to 1988, member of the Likud Party, and was Prime Minister from June 1996 to July 1999. Netanyahu was Foreign Minister (2002–2003) and Finance Minister (2003–August 2005) in Ariel Sharon’s governments, but he departed over disagreements regarding the Gaza Disengagement Plan. He retook the Likud leadership on 20 December 2005.[1] In the 2006 election, Likud did poorly, winning twelve seats.[2] In December 2006, Netanyahu became the official Opposition Leader in the Knesset and Chairman of the Likud Party. In August 2007, he retained the Likud leadership by beating Moshe Feiglin in party elections.[3] Following the 10 February 2009 parliamentary election, in which Likud placed second and right-wing parties won a majority,[4] Netanyahu formed a coalition government.[5][6] He is the brother of Israeli Special Forces commander Yonatan Netanyahu, who died during a hostage rescue mission, and Iddo Netanyahu, an Israeli author and playwright.

    A message from President Barry Soretoe CHAVEZ:

    White House on War Powers Deadline: ‘Limited’ US Role in Libya Means No Need to Get Congressional Authorization

    From the beginning of the U.S. military intervention in Libya, the Obama administration has cited the 1973 War Powers Act as the legal basis of its ability to conduct military activities for 60 days without first seeking a declaration of war from Congress. The military intervention started on March 19; Congress was notified on March 21. Those 60 days expire today.

    In an effort to satisfy those arguing he needs to seek congressional authorization to continue US military activity in accordance with the War Powers Resolution, President Obama wrote a letter to congressional leaders this afternoon suggesting that the role is now so “limited” he does not need to seek congressional approval.

    Cute weather report! Medved interviewed a Rapture guy on his show yesterday, and apparently the world does not end at 6 pm today. What happens is:

    1. The 200 million saved are transported straight to heaven.
    2. All buried bodies are disgorged out of their graves.
    3. If the disgorged are saved, they acquire nice new bodies and go straight to heaven.
    4. The other bodies and/or bones lay around “like dung”.
    5. Earthquakes then tear the planet to shreds for 6 months, killing all the remaining people.

    So the forecast for Sunday to Thursday should be “doomy with a chance of earthquakes and dung”.

The list is compiled from surveys taken from past client’s experiences with their agents with input from other professionals in the field. Very proud of her.

    For the record, back in my Pat Gray blogging days, Carry Wesbury and I strongly favored the Likud Party takeover of the Knesset. They were the only party that seemed willing to defend Israel against foreign and domestic pressures to give in to Palestinian demands to take control of Israel or at least parts of Israel. That is exactly what Netanyahu is doing right now. I came to like the Likud Party after hearing one of that party’s leaders speak regarding Israel’s security. I don’t know if I can track down that interview now.

    From the Debka Files:

    Muslim contender for Egyptian presidency designed for US approval
    DEBKAfile Exclusive

    13 May. Notwithstanding the official Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood’s promise not to seek the presidency, Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh, 60, member of the MB’s Shura Council, has announced he would run for president in Egypt’s coming election albeit as an “independent,” although no one doubts whom he represents.
    April 29, DEBKA-Net-Weekly 490 was the first publication to reveal that Fotouh was MB’s presidential candidate.

    Recently discovered by the American media, the contender is depicted as a progressive, moderate Muslim figure whose views on equal rights for women and non-Muslims should lay to rest Western fears of the Muslim Brotherhood as a radical movement.

    This is a perfect example of Taqqiyya, or deception, which is heartily encouraged by the koran and the hadith. This guy no more wants equal rights for women and non mooooooslims than he wants to eat pig schizzle.

    So who did the rate well in the poll? Fox’s Bill O’Reilly led named newsers with 9%, followed by CNN’s Anderson Cooper (6%), Fox’s Mike Huckabee (4%) and NBC’s Brian Williams (4%). Yep, Huckabee got more votes as a trusted political reporter than BriWi did.

    Huckabee doesn’t even claim to be a journalist.

    RE my #19;

    I FOUND THE INTERVIEW!!!

    Rabkin: OK, but you must have some ideas on how Israel should deal with its enemies.

    Feiglin: The answer is very simple. There is only one place in Israel where Jews are safe. Only one area where Jews can live in peace, safe from rockets and bombings. That place is the Golan Heights. Inside the Golan Heights you won’t even get stones thrown at you. The border between Israel and Syria is the quietest, most peaceful border we have. The place is beautiful and safe, like heaven.

    How did we achieve this true peace there? Five steps were taken.

    Rule number one, the Syrian Arabs that were there were evacuated. None stayed. So the first rule is, encourage the Arabs to leave. The second thing that was done was the land was taken over. After the war in 1967, we took the land over. The third rule is to annex the land. In the Golan Heights we annexed the land and put it under full Israeli sovereignty. The fourth rule is to flourish the land with as many Jewish villages as possible. And the fifth and most important rule is to never sign a peace treaty. We have not signed any peace deals with respect to the Golan Heights and look what we have – true peace. A real, true peace exists there, something that doesn’t exist anywhere else in the country.

    Our border with Egypt is very dangerous even though we have a peace deal signed with them. To this day, Egypt fights against us via that border. And we can’t do anything because our hands are tied because of the peace deal we signed.

    So these five steps must be taken in Gaza and everywhere else that we have problems with Arabs. Of course today there is no official war going on, so we can’t just throw the Arabs out. However, like I said before, the Arabs are not the problem. The problem is the Jews. We must understand that we established the State of Israel for a reason, not just to create one more democratic state. For that we could have stayed in Toronto or Australia. We came to Israel to establish a real Jewish state. And when we have real Jewish leadership in Israel, then we will deal with all of the rest of our problems in the same way as we dealt with the Golan Heights.

    Feiglin goes on to explain how peace talks agreeing to give land to the Palestinians have lead to killing of Israelis and that contrasts with the five step example Feiflin presents above about how peace was actually achieved for Israel.

    I liked this guy and from this interview I ooked into the Likud Party. I left being overall impressed with that party’s platform.

    A rather well-built man saw an advertisement for a job at the zoo. When he went there, he was horrified to find that the only job they had open was for somebody to play the part of a monkey. A lot of children were coming in the next few days, and the zoo, having no monkeys, needed someone to impersonate one. Since money was tight, the man decided he would take the job.

    He arrived before sunrise, got into the monkey outfit, and slipped into his cage. Finally, day dawned, and the children came. All he had to do was pensively pace the floor, look rather adept at swinging between trees, and eat the peanuts and bananas whenever they were fed to him.

    After eight or ten hours, he became thoroughly exhausted. The bananas were getting the better of him. As he swung from one tree to another, rather nauseated, he slipped and fell into the lion’s den next door. He shouted, “Help! Help!”

    The lion leaned over and said, “If you don’t shut up, we’ll both lose our jobs.”

    From one of Hot Air’s “What can go wrong?” headlines:

    “No matter how fast tomorrow’s conventional silicon-based computer can become,” their article states,” in order to solve specific classes of problems, it may take the fastest silicon-based computer months or even years to process the calculations. This is mainly due to the serial computing nature of the conventional silicon-based computer.”

    So Shu and his students manipulated stands of DNA at the test-tube level. They found that they could fuse strands together, cut them and perform operations that would affect DNA’s ability to store information.

    With all due sincerity, I do wish you too good luck with not voting. If there was a legal way that I can take your votes and vote for you two, I’d do it in a heartbeat. In other words, I’d put your votes to much better use.
    Squawk, you in particular since we’ve conversed about this directly in the past but this also applies to Dude, I’ve no desire to change your mind. I only desire to let you know where I stand and that you do wat you think is best. Without fault, I enjoy reading your take on social and politcal issues and agree with you the vast majority of the time. Jerry Garcia would be proud of you. Well, at least his conservative twin borther would be. Now, if you honestly want a votable candidate to make it to the general elections, Herman Cain’s your guy. Michelle Bachman’s supposedly going to announce and I think you’d vote for her as well. I Hope one of these two or one like them makes it to the finals.
    Healthcare:
    Gingrich = All for federal entitlements.
    Romney = I’m VERY confident he will not allow the federal government to intrude into healthcare. Whether or not he’ll favor a system which a more liberal president may use in the future to intrude upon healthcare from the federal level is debatable. But romney himself will favor allowing the states to decide.
    Judicla nomination:
    Gingrich = I’m about 75% sure he’d nominate a conservative / constitutional originalist to the Supreme Court after Ginsburg retires.
    Romney = I’m 100% sure he’d nominate a conservative / constitutional originalist to the Supreme Court after Ginsburg retires.
    I like Gingrich even less than I did McCain. I’d still vote for him though.

    If there was a legal way that I can take your votes and vote for you two, I’d do it in a heartbeat. In other words, I’d put your votes to much better use.

    Well I’ve bought about a dozen Dell Lap-Tops over the last 10 years, wife, kids, kids gal/boy friends Lil’ Sister, some of them more than one and up until today I didn’t have one. When I go to the beach or the old farmhouse my wife is usually with me and I use hers. She has one of them Verizon sticks tha works almost any where and at the beach they have free wireless, (as of 2006). But lately I’ve been making some solo trips and alas, my wife is not even going this year. 🙁 Her 9 day trip to Hawaii kinda put a dent in her ability to take off. That said, I now own a “Dell Inspiron Lap-Top”, gettin’ the Norton anti virus installed even as we speak. 😀

Romney offed me with urine and exposed himself as the big govt nanny stater he is when he refused to denounce Romneycare in taxachussets; that being said he is still a better choice than PF. Michelle Bachman or Sara Palin would be great choices as well, all the rest suck.

    I would vote for Palin/Bachman/Cain. All three have fixed principles that they work very hard to live by. They are not so quick to live the expedient way of political life.

    One of my main knocks on Romney is not his propensity for political expediency, that sucker believes in such things as “healthcare for all”. I think he like Boehner are just hoping that this gets shot down in the courts and they will not have to put their necks on the line. So they flap their gums hoping to quiet the troubled masses.

    Maybe you can find it online somewhere? I often find things if I missed them somehow.

    Man if Palin Bachman teamed up I would be a happy camper.

    Me too. But while I don’t know about Bachman but Palin did supported Bush’s TARP. That hasn’t resulted n anything conservative I recognize.

    If we slap Herman Cain in some Daisy Dukes that just may increase his chances of winning.

    His trip to the Emerald Isle on Monday is being seen as a boost to the country amid all its economic woes, but it is also a chance for the US President to look up some family.

    Does this make the president a racist?

    I was trying to find the owners of some property here in Magnolia my boss is interested in (since I mouthed off and told him that is easy to find, thru the tax records). No name or address available. Looking through Montgomery County’s Appraisal District site, and scrolling the map, all that comes up is an A-____ account number (no R- number). Is commercial property not public record, does anyone know what the A number is?

    Herman Cain has been adamant in the past that Congress shouldn’t make a deal to raise the debt limit, but today on Fox News Sunday he admitted that his plan to not raise the debt ceiling wont work now because Congress has allowed the situation to become a disaster. I have to wonder why he would give that plan as an answer in the first place. If he believes that the debt limit ideally shouldn’t be raised, then OK. But idealism and practicality must meet somewhere and up to this point I haven’t heard Cain suggesting they should make a deal for any reason whatsoever. In fact just the opposite.

    He said just the other day that “I wouldn’t raise it. I would force the hard discipline now.” That’s a completely different answer than what he said today.

    And lastly on this point, he never should have admitted on live TV that his plan that he’s been touting won’t work. He’s just given his competitors the easiest campaign commercial evah!

    He also gave the same non answer on Afghanistan that he gave in the debate. For me this is unacceptable. I need some sense of direction from Cain on what he thinks about Afghanistan – why we should or shouldn’t be there and a sense of what he thinks about how we are currently fighting it. I’m not asking him to give me specifics, but just a general idea about it. This business-man-approach-to-solving-problems answer isn’t going to cut it. Men and women are putting their lives on the line for this country and I need to know what his gut tells him about Afghanistan. If he can’t offer me that, even with conditions, then I’m not sure he’s the candidate for me.

    You guys know I love Herman Cain but this interview exposed weaknesses that his competitors will quickly exploit. I sincerely hope that he can overcome these weakness soon because if he doesn’t, I’m afraid he won’t make it too far in this election.

    Cain now needs a new plan, I guess.

    Man I had a great day, I helped the wife a little, working on her flower bed in the back yard. She’s been wrapped real tight for the last week trying to catch up with the Crap at work but today around 2 PM she started working in the back yard, just finished 10 minutes ago. She made a lot of progress but most importantly, she had her therapy. Working in the yard/flower bed is her way of racking back. Life is Good. 😉

    From Drudge:

    “When you grow up you find out that life isn’t the way you imagined it, and President Obama means well. I think he’s actually a good guy. He has no f***ing idea what the world is like because he doesn’t have to live there,” KISS vocalist and guitarist told CNBC.

    “The most pathetic body on the face of the planet.” Simmons called the U.N. a “paper tiger” that allows dictators to spread propaganda.

    The plan is to try to overcome the normal human reaction to immersion in freezing slush: gasping for air, shivering uncontrollably, and getting back out again as soon as possible.

    Instead, under the direction of “Iceman” Wim Hof, the group of athletes is going to stay in the water for minutes practicing his meditation techniques, seeking possible performance or health benefits.

    On a side note, I love my air conditioning.
