I was watching Countdown, and Rachel Maddow is doing a great job while Keith Olbermann is on vacation, anyway, the segment am talking about here is when Rachel showed clips that goes back to 2003 showing how Mccain was always a big supporter of Bush on the Iraq war and not what he claims now that he did disagree with him before. Why do these politicians lie like that don’t they know that there is Internet and people can easily find out the truth? Or are they still thinking that this thing called Internet is a new invention and not many people have access?!
Olbermann: Sen. Barack Obama is going to suffer political attacks no matter how he votes on the FISA bill but he can still stand on principle and score a political win by promising to take advantage of a loophole in the bill.
I am not a pro political analyst, but just three headlines I read today made me believe that the Iran War is coming near and looks like its just matter of time. No one on this earth wants a war, except Israel I guess.
The first thing I heard was the announcement from the British Embassy that the risk of a terrorist attack in UAE is High. Then I saw Bush and Brown in a joint press conference where Bush said that although he hopes to settle Iran’s nuclear standoff through diplomacy he will not rule out the use of force. He said “I would like to say one thing about the Iranian demand for civilian nuclear power, it is a justifiable demand,” but he did repeatedly vow to keep the military option on the table by stating “consequences of a nuclear-armed Iran are such that military strikes are justified, whether a smoking gun is found or not”.
Brown echoed the same message, stating that an action will be taken against Iran, “Today Britain will urge Europe, and Europe will agree to take further sanctions against Iran, We will take action today that will freeze the overseas assets of the biggest bank in Iran, the Melli bank, and secondly action will start today for a new phase of sanctions on oil and gas”.
The third headline that made it so clear, crystal clear, its the news that Iran withdrew 75 Billion dollars from Europe yes I know how you feel . Basically Iran withdrew the 75 Billion dollars from Europe to prevent the assets getting blocked under the new sanctions.
I do not know what other news today or this week gave other clues, but those are the three news items that made me think this way. I might be mistaken, well actually I wish I am mistaken, we do not need more wars.
I don’t know what to say, this is THE BEST special comment I have ever heard from Keith Olbermann, day after day those special comments get bigger and better.
Olbermann denounces President Bush for suggesting that electing a Democrat as president means “another attack on the United States”, he also questioned his claim of giving up golf out of empathy for fallen U.S. soldiers.
After the Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah press conference yesterday evening, Lebanon went into a sort of civil war. The night was full of events, and while the sun rose hezbollah was in control of Beirut.
Most of the “Future” Militia are believed to have surrendered or ran away from fighting. Hezbolah leader has stressed on one main point in his press conference, that this is a political war not a religion war, and that it is a war between against a group of traitors who are employees of Bush and Cheney and Condoleezza Rice.
Now it is being reported that both pro-government channels Future TV and Al-Ekhbariya TV were forced off air by Hezbollah. There was a number of “Future” Militia fighters who tried to resist Hezbollah but failed.
Future TV news department manager talked on “New TV” channel and asked for the freedom of journalism.
I only wish this does not drag on and escalade to real huge civil war in Lebanon.
We know she cant do it, the media know it, The experts know it, she knows it. It is not doable, she is waiting for a miracle, she is waiting for some unusual big thing to happen, because now even if she is asking to seat Florida and Michigan delegates she still wont get it.
She is so desperate her website now directly redirects to the donations page!! I donno who in his right mind would bid on a broken horse? She is still in it, til the end.
I know, you are sick of this, I am not an American and I cant vote and and and ……. and I am pissed that this thing is still going on. I find it weird, very weird that she is still not dropping out.
People ask me why I follow the American elections, and I tell them, have you seen what happened in the past 8 years ?!
Although I hate to admit it, the world, and I mean the WORLD is effected by who gets to be the president of USA.
The WORLD does not need this kind of president:
The WORLD needs a smart, well educated, DEMOCRATIC President. A President that knows when to use diplomacy effectively, and how to solve problems without quickly reaching to military action.
So we know that Hillary is old news, we know she is playing in the injury time, and she cant do anything.
So my advice to all who are refreshing reddit over and over and over again, and to all who is visiting all sort of news sites, blogs, to all who has the TV fixed on a news channel, don’t wait, don’t waste your time, it wont happen. Not now, maybe when all the states vote, maybe, but who knows maybe she will fight all the way. And by doing that she is hurting herself and her party.
I know this is months old video, but believe me still not a lot of people saw it, although am not an American and although am not a fan of Hillary Clinton, but this video shocked me big time. This is even just a 14 minutes trailer, the full documentary is one hour long and can be purchased online.
I know that some feel that Hillary is creepy and that she is cold, regardless of her fake tear dropping performance lately, and that she just doesn’t look like a good person, but after seeing this video all your doubts are confirmed. This is not your usual propaganda videos, this is real, and you will see that it is real when you see this video.
A new initiative is gaining support in Israel, when you read it you just laugh and feel sad for whoever came up with this supposedly INITIATIVE. Every time there is slight possibility that maybe, just maybe , there might be a new solution for the Palestinian/Israeli situation, the fear starts crawling into those Israeli’s in a huge way.
Even if they are sure 100% that those so-called summits, such as Annapolis summit, are just full of bullshit and just PR parties. Nothing good comes out of it for anybody anyway. But still every time someone comes up with a ridiculous solution, that he knows would never be implemented, just to disrupt whatever is supposedly being done to come up with some logical solution.
The latest genius that came up with this new initiative is Knesset member Benny Elon. His super clever plan is the following. The UN Refugee Camps are dismantled and the refugees are given rehabilitation packages and the option of moving to outside participating countries, where agencies would work to help with resettlement, employment and housing solutions.
Read more after the jump… really crazy plan…
Refugee’s who wish to stay in the West Bank are given the Jordanian nationality, and can stay in the territory “controlled by Israel” while the Jordanian Kingdom would be their home country.
No more Abbas administration, there would be no more Palestinian Authority and weapons will be collected from militias. He says billions of dollars is being splashed yearly on finding a solution for the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. So those billions would be spent to dismantle the camps and help the refugee’s get rehabilitation and move to other countries.
He is depending on a 2004 survey that states that about 50 percent of Palestinian society would not rule out the option of permanently moving to another country if they had the ability and means to relocate.
I would like to give Benny Elon some really bad news, there is no Palestinian on this EARTH who would leave their land for any kind of shiny offers. They will never leave their land for you. Don’t even dream about it. The kind of transfers that happened in the old days will never happen again. Whatever Israel do, shoot them, bomb them, kill them in any way, they will never leave their country, they will never leave their land, they will never give the chance to you to call PALESTINE “israel”. The days will pass, the years will pass, and Palestinians will stay Palestinians and Palestine will stay Palestine, you cant erase their identity, whatever and however you try.
Democrat Barack Obama introduced a new resolution in the senate late Thursday saying that George Bush doesn’t have authority to use military force against Iran. He is basically trying to reverse the damage that was done when the Senate passed an amendment sponsored by Senators Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., and Joe Lieberman. The amendment designated Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization, and the only Senate Democrat running for president to support it was Hillary Clinton.
An amazing and very interesting interview for Garry Kasparov on “Real Time with Bill Maher”, although i do not agree totally with him, but he does raise allot of important issues and he knows what he is talking about.
Amazing Interview and you could see just how amazed Bill Maher is with him and how he is so ready to answer any question.
