May 28, 2008 Lance posted Ann Coulter’s “You Can’t Please Everybody,” prefacing it with a blurb about how it covered the same territory I covered in my piece posted the previous day entitled “Compare Ahmadinejad to Hitler.”
Some people are saying, “If Bush were a real friend of Israel, he would have skipped this trip to Israel.” I disagree.
I’m glad Bush decided to go. Who cares? Olmerts come and go. Meanwhile, Israel, America and the free world need to stay close and to converse at the highest levels, and with the honchos who are in the know. There are messages only Bush can convey personally. Messages that must come only from his lips. Israel’s commanders need to be there when Bush says what he’s gonna to say. In private, where no one else can hear.
Hillary Rodham Clinton vowed if Iran nukes Israel, America’s response will be massive retaliation.
Some are glad to hear that. But in the meantime, Iran will have just killed half the world’s Jews. We know that’s what Iran intends to do. We even know Iran is itching to use all their non-nuclear missiles on Israel. Iran is already arming all its allies with missiles pointed at Israel. Israel is bombed everyday, thanks to Iran’s support and materiel.
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.(more…)
Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah said his organization was not interested in another bout of fighting with Israel, but, that if such a conflict were to break out, the Israelis would be faced with “larger surprises” than in last year’s war.
Yeah, that’s the ticket.
The fact that he’s popped up in the news again for one of the few times since last summer’s Lebanon War is a sign that Hezbollah is most likely ready to launch another casus belli against Israel. Time will tell.
Meanwhile, below I’ve re-posted that taunting Israeli video from last year that still seems apropos. We posted it at TMQ1 on Aug 4, 2006:
As a form of psychological warfare, the Israelis periodically hacked into Lebanese television and played this video, which expresses disdain–to put it mildly–for Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah.
Complete with English subtitles, it is the Israelite answer to Nasrallah – a song in Hebrew that lets him know what Israelis think about him with the background clip of the combat engineering IDF corps and a taste of the IAF:
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert rejected, during his visit to the United States last week, a proposal by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that Israel negotiate a permanent settlement with Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.
Rice supports talks on a “shelf agreement” that would outline the permanent settlement but not be implemented immediately because of Abbas’ weak standing.
In Rice’s view, merely reaching such an agreement in principle would provide the Palestinians with a “political horizon” and hope, thereby encouraging them to fight terror and to establish governing institutions in preparation for an independent state. }} more…
When Prime Minister Ehud Olmert sits down with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for dinner Monday night, he could be forgiven some gentle ribbing of Rice for her lack of confidence in his political abilities. Just over a month ago, Rice – who promised back in March to come to the region every few weeks – postponed a trip to the region. (more…)
ANGRY and embittered by their government’s botched military confrontation with Hezbollah, Israelis are focused on settling accounts with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and his hapless defense minister, Amir Peretz.
Great – but civic rage also should target the deep-rooted flaws that compel commissions of inquiry every time Israel goes to war.
There is no excuse for the blunders of Olmert and his team, laid bare by retired Supreme Court Justice Eliyahu Winograd and others in their interim report on the latest Lebanon War. They use variations on the word “failure” 167 times to characterize the 33-day war with Hezbollah. }} more…
Diplomacy: Not content with coddling Syria’s terrorist regime, Speaker Nancy Pelosi has made a fool of herself pretending to be a messenger for Israel’s prime minister. But the Israelis were quick to expose the charade.
It seems that trying to take down President Bush isn’t enough for the Speaker of the House. On Wednesday, she tried to make Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert look so weak that he needed a U.S. congresswoman to carry messages to Israel’s sworn enemies for him. (more…)
HOUSE SPEAKER Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) offered an excellent demonstration yesterday of why members of Congress should not attempt to supplant the secretary of state when traveling abroad. After a meeting with Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad in Damascus, Ms. Pelosi announced that she had delivered a message from Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that “Israel was ready to engage in peace talks” with Syria. What’s more, she added, Mr. Assad was ready to “resume the peace process” as well. Having announced this seeming diplomatic breakthrough, Ms. Pelosi suggested that her Kissingerian shuttle diplomacy was just getting started. “We expressed our interest in using our good offices in promoting peace between Israel and Syria,” she said. (more…)
JERUSALEM — AN overriding melancholy here this Holy Week follows Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s mission to Jerusalem the previous week. To Arabs and Jews seeking meaningful peace negotiations, it confirmed no progress toward a two-state solution between Israelis and Palestinians is likely for the remainder of George W. Bush’s presidency. (more…)
Islam the death cult and Muhammad are depicted where they properly belong, Islam dead and Muhammad’s head on a woman’s spear.

In addition to the lack of proper vetting for the election process, namely his refusal to produce a valid Birth certificate, I feel that President Barack Hussein Obama's political platform, his long standing associations with our enemies and his buck-jawed squaw—the Worst Lady who openly expresses her hatred for the USA—will work together to place our country in a state of serious distress.
Therefore, as my statement against this African usurper and the intentional damage he is inflicting upon our great country, the American flag graphic, and the NOBAMA and WORST LADY caricatures will remain in the distress position (upside down) until they vacate the white house, forced or otherwise, DEAD OR ALIVE!
