    Shocker: Iran Says it Will NOT Halt Nuclear Program

    May 5, 2008 /

    Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, seen here in March 2008, vowed that Iran would press ahead with its controversial nuclear programme, two days after world powers said they had prepared a new package to end the crisis.

    In a shocking revelation Iran’s Supreme leader, Ayatatollah Ali Khamenei, told the West to go to hell with attempting to stop him and the other Iranian Mullahs to develop their Allah-given right to develop nuclear energy weapons.

    Iran’s top leader says his country will not bend to international pressure and give up its nuclear program, according to state television.

    Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the final say in all state matters, said Iran will continue its nuclear program despite Western efforts to thwart it with sanctions.

    “No threat can hinder the Iranian nation from its path,” he said Sunday.

    The U.N. Security Council has already imposed three sets of sanctions on Iran for its refusal to halt uranium enrichment. World powers agreed Friday to try again to lure Iran to the nuclear bargaining table with a repackaged set of incentives.

    President Bush has “PUNTED” this issue to the next Presidency but nothing short of armed confrontation and destruction of Iran’s capacity to manufacture nuclear material including the missile delivery components will stop them.

    The United Nations and the European Union have been failures in preventing Iran from further developing its nuclear program.

    In the meantime, the uranium enrichment centrifuges continue to spin at Natanz and other clandestine sites spewing out enriched uranium to make a nuclear bomb.

    An Iranian puts the finishing touches to a slogan reading “Down with U.S.A” painted on a car windscreen in Tehran. Iran will reject any offer that violates its right to the full nuclear fuel cycle, the foreign ministry said on Monday after world powers said they had prepared a new package to end the atomic crisis.

    Hillary Clinton Hits Obama with Last Minute Negative Television Ad

    May 5, 2008 /

    [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eF48jPeZDsQ&eurl=http://thepage.time.com/2008/05/05/clinton-up-with-last-minute-indiana-north-carolina-negative-ad/[/youtube]

    Barack Obama is attacking Hillary’s plan to give you a break on gas prices because he doesn’t have one.

    This may be the matrix/template of a John McCain ad later in the summer should Obama become the Democrat nominee.

    Question: What will Obama’s plan to lower gasoline costs be?

    Answer: Talk to Ahmadinejad without pre-conditions and increase taxes on the oil companies (who will pass them along)

    The script of the Hillary Clinton ad:

    [Announcer]: What has happened to Barack Obama?
    Woman: Right now we are living paycheck to paycheck.
    [Announcer]: He is attacking Hillary’s plan to give you a break on gas prices because he doesn’t have one.
    Man: The price of gas going up.
    Woman: It’s hard to fill up the tank.
    [Announcer]: Hillary wants the oil companies to pay for the gas tax this summer – so you don’t have to.
    [Announcer]: Barack Obama want you to keep paying; $8 billion in all. Hillary is the one who gets it.
    Man: Hillary Clinton is the candidate who is going fight for working people.
    I am Hillary Clinton and I approved this message

    Another Hillary Clinton ad which channels John McCain. Remember the 3 AM ad?

    Fancy that…….

    Methamphetamine Watch: The U.S. Multilateral Conference Against Methamphetamine

    Tomorrow the United States Attorney General and United States Drug Czar will be hosting an important anti-meth conference in America’s heartland.

    Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey and John Walters, the U.S. Drug Czar, will host high-ranking officials from the world’s largest producing and some of the principal consuming nations of methamphetamine and meth precursor chemicals in St. Louis, Missouri on Wednesday, May 7. For the first time, leaders from Mexico, Canada, China, India, and Germany will join federal, state, and local law enforcement professionals from throughout the United States to participate in the National Methamphetamine Chemicals Initiative (NMCI) conference, an initiative of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy.

    Significant progress has been made against domestic methamphetamine production, trafficking and use over the last several years. Recent changes in the price and purity of meth indicate significant disruptions in the market for the drug. From January to December of 2007, the price per pure gram of meth increased 84 percent, from $152.39 to $280.06, while purity during the same time period decreased 26 percent. Results from workplace drug screenings conducted in 2007 show a more than 50 percent decline in the number of people testing positive for methamphetamine over the past two years.

    But major challenges remain, particularly in the international arena. Many nations lack significant controls to prevent chemical diversion and have yet to comply with their international obligations, although progress has been made in some others. Mexico, for example, has banned all imports of methamphetamine precursors. Attorney General Mukasey and the representatives from Mexico, China, Canada and Germany will sign a Joint Statement on Countering the Diversion of Precursor Chemicals, Synthetic Drugs, and Controlled Pharmaceuticals, calling on all nations to take needed steps to combat this problem and to intensify international cooperation against methamphetamine.

    The United States must make it clear to our allies that either they get a hold on the export of their methamphetamine precursor chemicals or we will interdict their exports and/or sanction their chemical trading with the United States.

    To be blunt – it is time for Mexico and other countries to get their act together or the United States will do if for them.

    Hillary Clinton Watch: Handicapping Indiana

    May 5, 2008 /

    Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., grimaces as Helen Matta of New Burn, N.C. kisses her while she snaps their picture at a rally in Greenville, N.C. Monday, May 5, 2008.

    Rush Limbaugh just announced on his radio program that Hillary Clinton was told prior to the Jefferson-Jackson Indianapolis dinner last night that her internal polling had her losing Indiana.

    Rush has reiterated his call for Operation Chaos and asks all GOP voters to vote for Hillary tomorrow in the Indiana primary.

    Here is an interesting table and breakdown of possible Indiana Democrat delegate allocations from Electoral-Vote.

    Barack Obama Watch: Disavowing Grandma

    May 5, 2008 /

    Stanley Dunham, “Barry” Obama and grandmother Madelyn Dunham

    Let’s see Senator Barack Obama said the following a few weeks ago in his “memorable” A More Perfect Union Speech about Pastor Jeremiah Wright:

    And this helps explain, perhaps, my relationship with Reverend Wright. As imperfect as he may be, he has been like family to me. He strengthened my faith, officiated my wedding, and baptized my children. Not once in my conversations with him have I heard him talk about any ethnic group in derogatory terms, or treat whites with whom he interacted with anything but courtesy and respect. He contains within him the contradictions – the good and the bad – of the community that he has served diligently for so many years.

    I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother – a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.

    These people are a part of me. And they are a part of America, this country that I love.

    Now, that Obama has thrown Pastor Wright “under the bus” and disavowed him, what about the black community and his grandmother who he did throw “under the bus” weeks ago?
