So yesterday we got the news that Britain have issued terrorism attacks warnings for their citizens in UAE. And I know many who just did not take this seriously, saying that USA still did not issue any warning of that sort. As if the USA is any better reliable source. Anyway, so now Washington replies by issuing the same warning of a possibility that there might be a terrorist attack in UAE. Australia is the third country to do the same.
At first and like many people I thought that this is just an attempt by both countries (UK and USA) to affect the economy and tourism in UAE. But after reading what Brown and Bush said yesterday and then how Iran have withdrew 75 Billion Dollars from Europe, all what I can hear is the drums of war.
For full info on the U.S. threat warning read Reuters Article.
Lets just hope that this passes safely and lets also pray that we see no more violence this summer in the Middle East.

It looked like it will never happen, Hillary Clinton ends her campaign at last. Although she conceded and endorsed Barack Obama today in the National Building Museum in Washington DC, it sure looked as if she was doing it because of a gun being pointed at her head. She tried to look truthful and really meaning what she is saying, but I didn’t see her to be sincere.
In Regard to the dream ticket thing, I really really doubt Obama will be choosing her to be VP, I feel that it could be Richardson or anybody else but not her.
I think it will take some time until he announces who will be his Vice President. I just wish he doesn’t wait until August.
Watch the full speech:

Sami Al-Hajj who is a cameraman working for Al-Jazeera Channel is freed from Guantanamo after being held there for six years, he was arrested in Afghanistan by mistake, yes he was like many in Guantanamo arrested with no real reason or evidence.
Sami Al-Hajj was imprisoned without charge and no evidence, and he was offered his freedom in exchange of him spying on Al-Jazeera but he refused. He went on hunger strike which lead the authorities to punish him by taking away his reading glasses and his toilet stand. He was injured severely shortly after arrested. Sami Al-Hajj is on his way now to his country Sudan.
Looking forward to hear even better news, something like all those who are in Guantanamo FREED.
Update: Sami Al-Hajj talks about his experience in Guantanamo for Aljazeera.

Senator Edward M. “Ted” Kennedy, a leading icon in the democratic party and the brother of JFK the assassinated president, joined with his son Representative Patrick Kennedy, and niece Caroline Kennedy the daughter of the assassinated president endorsed Barack Obama for the party’s presidential nomination during a rally at the American University in Washington DC.
Sen. Ted Kennedy called Obama “an inspirational uniter”, and each one of the Kennedys linked Obama to John F. Kennedy the iconic Democratic leader who Obama usually is compared to. Sen. Ted Kennedy talked how he always was asked who he will endorse and the answer was that he was going to support the candidate who inspires him:
“Every time I’ve been asked over the past year who I would support in the Democratic primary, my answer has always been the same: I’ll support the candidate who inspires me, who inspires all of us, who can lift our vision and summon our hopes and renew our belief that our country’s best days are still to come. I’ve found that candidate. And it looks to me like you have too.”
Here is the Video of Sen. Ted Kennedy endorsement:
Sen. Ted Kennedy answered all the points raised by the Clintons, point after point, remark after remark giving a neat summary of all the criticism that the Clintons have been shooting towards Obama since the start of the campaign. Specially since Barack Obama’s win in Iowa which shocked Hillary Clinton’s campaign and made her and her husband Bill Clinton on the offence. Bill Clinton who used to be a respectable and liked ex-president lately became the designated attacker of Obama, attack after attack after attack, in my opinion he is hurting his wife’s bid for the presidency.
The question here is will this endorsement really help Obama, it will help in some areas and especially with Hispanic voters, who Obama’s campaign have been lagging behind Hillary Clinton. Any candidate would love to be endorsed by Sen. Ted Kennedy, but will this help Obama in a huge scale, I do not believe so. Only one week left for the Super Tuesday anyway, we will wait and see, although I really wish to see Obama winning, but I believe those “Super” delegates Hillary Clinton has will save her in the end of the day and she will be the “Democratic Party Presidential Nominee”.

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.
Here is PART ONE:

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.
