Representative Cynthia McKinney Watch: CNN Burns McKinney AGAIN – “Off the Record”
Hot Air: CNN burns McKinney – again
You might think, after watching her get served by Soledad O’Brien on American Morning a few weeks ago, that CNN would start taking it easy on Jihad Cindy.
But you’d be wrong. Ian has the video.
Expose The Left: “Off The Recordâ€: McKinney Calls Aide A “Fool†(VIDEO)
Rep. Cynthia McKinney called one of her aides a “foolâ€, after saying he lied to her about the questions that would be asked a press conference. Late last week, McKinney had a press conference after the first time she met with her constituents since hitting a Capitol police officer. McKinney, who seemed surprised after receiving several questions about the incident, walked out of the press conference with her microphone still attached to her shirt. At this point she called her aide, Coz, a “foolâ€. She soon realized it and walked out to the press to inform them any audio heard during the time she was not answering questions is “off the recordâ€.
What a MORON…..When is that Grand Jury going to dispose of this case?
Either charge the DUMBASS or not……
Stay tuned……

Iran Nuclear Watch: United Nations Security Council to Consider Chapter 7 Resolution on Iran Uranium Enrichment
US Ambassador John Bolton, seen here in March 2006, said the UN Security Council will consider a draft resolution that would legally require Iran to comply with demands that it freeze all uranium enrichment activities.
AFP: UN Security Council to mull Chapter 7 resolution on Iran: US
The UN Security Council will consider a draft resolution that would legally require Iran to comply with demands that it freeze all uranium enrichment activities, US Ambassador John Bolton said.
Bolton told reporters the 15-member council would be discussing this week possible responses to a report by
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) head Mohamed ElBaradei.The report assesses Tehran’s compliance with UN demands to stop enrichment activities among other things by a Friday deadline set by the council on March 29 in a non-binding statement.
“Our expectation would be that assuming no change of direction by Iran and there’s no reason to think there will be a change of direction, we’ll look at a ‘Chapter 7’ resolution to make mandatory all the existing IAEA resolutions,” Bolton said.
Strong, tough, measured responses to Iran’s bluster is the hallmark of United States foreign policy. But, do not be surprised if the United States makes Russia and/or China VETO a Chapter 7 resolution to show their hypocrisy to the international community of nations.
Chapter 7 of the UN Charter, which is invoked in case of threats to international peace and security, can open the door to sanctions or even military action.
“We will be consulting this week on the nature of the language (of the draft),” Bolton said.
US Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs, Nicholas Burns, said Friday that Britain and France were expected to present the Chapter 7 draft next week.
But China’s UN envoy Wang Guangya, the president of the council for April, warned Monday:”I don’t think it (a Chapter 7 resolution) will be a productive move.”
A Chapter 7 resolution veto by China will expose the oppressive non-democratic regime as selling out to the Mullahs for their oil. Do the Chinese care?
Proably not.
But, the United States will be given cover to impose their own economic and travel sanctions.
Commenting on Iran’s assertions that sanctions were unlikely because of opposition from Russia and China, two veto-wielding permanent members of the council that have close ties with Tehran, Bolton said: “I don’t know what the Security Council is going to do.
“I said repeatedly I think this is a test for the Security Council and we’re going to take it step-by-step,” Bolton said.
“The first step will be a Chapter 7 resolution.”
But some diplomats said there was no certainty that the Council would hold a formal meeting on the issue this week.
US officials have said the political directors of the council’s five permanent members — Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States — were likely to meet in Paris some time next week to thrash out a common strategy.
In addition Wang spoke of “proposals that the IAEA board of directors should have a meeting first before the council takes up the action.”
Stay tuned…….

Iran Nuclear Watch: Bush Administration – “We Are Very Close to the “POINT OF NO RETURN”
US Undersecretary of State for Arms Control, Robert Joseph, seen 13 April 2006. The United States, seeking to step up pressure on Iran, urged an embargo on the sales of arms and sensitive equipment to Tehran unless it gives up its suspected nuclear arms ambitions.
World Tribune.com: State: ‘Iranians have put both feet on the accelerator’
The Bush administration, in what appeared to be a rebuff to the U.S. intelligence community, said Iran is approaching the point of no return in terms of its indigenous nuclear capability.
Officials said the State Department has determined that Iran has reached or was close to completing the nuclear fuel cycle. They said this meant that Iran could complete the process that begins with the extraction of uranium from ore, production of feeder gas and the enrichment of uranium to the level required for reactor fuel.
“We are very close to that point of no return,” Undersecretary of State Robert Joseph said. “And I think that’s a view that was shared — that is shared by many others.”
And the international community thinks that the United States and Israel WILL ALLOW the Iranian Mullahs and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad develop nuclear weapons to wipe Israel off the face of the planet?
Doh…..NO!
And does ANYONE think that the United States will be BULLIED by a third world power into military inaction and stalemate?
Doh…..NO!
“It’s fair to say, I believe, that the Iranians have put both feet on the accelerator,” Joseph said. “They’re moving very quickly to establish new realities on the ground associated with their nuclear program.”
Officials said Iran has been advancing rapidly toward its goal of industrial production of enriched uranium. They said this would eventually include weapons grade material.
“Iran has acquired the confidence and the capability of running centrifuges over a sustained period of time, allowing it to produce enriched uranium,” Joseph said.
“Perhaps most disturbing, at least in my calculation, is the announcement that they are operating a centrifuge cascade consisting of 164 centrifuges,” Joseph said. “Every nuclear physicist that I have talked to in the past has always suggested that 164 is a key number, because once you’re able to operate, over a sustained period of time, 164 centrifuges in cascade and feed into that this material, this UF-6 that I talked about, you’re well on your way to an industrial scale capability in terms of the production of enriched uranium.”
But, this is in stark contrast to last week’s assessment by John Negroponte the National Intelliegence Director who has said that Iran is many years away from having a nuclear weapon.
And who is correct?
The assessment by the administration of Iran’s nuclear achievements contrasted with that of the U.S. intelligence community. On April 20, National Intelligence Director John Negroponte played down Iran’s claim of uranium enrichment, saying Teheran would require several more years to produce a nuclear weapon.
Officials said Negroponte’s statement reflected a dispute over the meaning of the “point of no return.” They said some government analysts define this as the production of sufficient fissile material for a nuclear weapon, while others assert that Teheran must actually assemble a nuclear warhead.
“There is an earlier point of no return, and that is when Iran has acquired the confidence and the capability of running centrifuges over a sustained period of time, allowing it to produce enrichment uranium,” Joseph said. “And again, the key point there has always in the past been the 164-cascade centrifuge.”
The United States will wait for the IAEA report on the 28th and a United Nations Security Council decision subsequently. Once the non-decision by the United Nations is made…..all bets are on President Bush imposing uniateral economic and travel sanctions on Iran.
The B-2 are warming up in their hangars.
Stay tuned…..

Iran Nuclear Watch: Iran Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar – Any United States Military Attack Would Be a “HUMILIATING DEFEAT”
Iranian Defence Minister Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar gestures in this April 20, 2006 file photo. Iran ‘s defense minister said on Monday that any U.S. military attack over its nuclear programme would result in a humiliating defeat for the United States, the official IRNA news agency reported.
Washington Post: Iran says US to be humiliated if it attacks
Iran’s defense minister said on Monday that any U.S. military attack over its nuclear programme would result in a humiliating defeat for the United States, the official IRNA news agency reported.
He was speaking on the anniversary of an attempt in 1980 by the U.S. military to rescue Americans held hostage in the U.S. embassy in Tehran. The mission failed when the helicopters crashed in a sand storm in the Tabas desert in eastern Iran.
“If America chooses the military option a humiliating defeat worse than their failure in the Tabas desert will await them,” Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar was quoted by IRNA as saying.
Iran says the sand storm was “divine wrath.”
Iran is embroiled in a dispute with the West over its nuclear program, which the United States says it designed to build bombs. Washington says it wants a diplomatic solution but has refused to rule out military action.
“Bringing up the issue of military option, threatening Iran with it … contradicts the charter of the United Nations and other international regulations,” Najjar said.
Bluster and Sabre Rattling from Iran.
So, what else is new?
May I remind the defense minister what awaits Iran (and remember Jimmy Carter is NO LONGER President):
And the delivery methods to affect the result……
From under the Sea:
From the Air:
- B-52H Stratofortress
- B-1B Lancer
- B-2A Spirit
- ALCM
- ACM
- B53 Gravity Bomb
- B61 Gravity Bomb (Strategic)
- B83 Gravity Bomb
From the United States mainland:
ANY attack on the United States, including its or its allies trrops in Iraq would unleash a state of war and would unlock America’s nuclear arsenal.
MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT.
Iran Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar is a MORON.
Who is he trying to kid?
Stay tuned…..

Iran Nuclear Watch: Ahmadinejad – Israel is a “FAKE REGIME”
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad greets journalists as he arrives for a news conference in Tehran, Iran April 24, 2006.
ASSociated Press: Iran President: Israel Is a ‘Fake Regime’
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday renewed his criticism of Israel, calling it a “fake regime” that cannot continue to exist.
“Some 60 years have passed since the end of World War II. Why should the people of Germany and Palestine pay now for a war in which the current generation was not involved?” Ahmadinejad said at a news conference.
“We say that this fake regime (Israel) cannot not logically continue to live,” he said.
And the world community and United Nations Security Council will allow this “MADMAN” to develop nuclear weapons?
The remarks by the hard-line leader came a day after interim Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert urged the international community to work against Iran’s nuclear program, saying Tehran’s ambitions threaten not only Israel but all of Western civilization.
“From the point of view of seriousness, this tops the state of Israel’s list, it is potentially an existential threat,” a government statement quoted Olmert telling the weekly Cabinet meeting.
“The Iranian nuclear program should concern many countries, especially those with global responsibility,” Olmert said, adding that the international front against Iran should include the United States, Europe and other Western countries.
But, the European LEFT is too worried about “CLIMATE CHANGE.” Russia and China have been bought off by the Iranian Mullahs and their oil money.
And who does that leave to police this Hitler-like totalitarian who has stated that the Holocaust was a MYTH.
The United States and Israel.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Watch: Blasts Idea of California-Mexico Border Wall
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, center, speaks to the media while participating in a beach cleanup in San Pedro, Calif., on Saturday, April 22, 2006. Schwarzenergger participated in the cleanup in celebration of Earth Day.
ASSociated Press: Schwarzenegger Blasts Idea of Border Wall
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Sunday said that building a 700-mile wall along the Mexican border to deter illegal immigration would amount to “going back to the Stone Ages,” and instead urged the use of high-tech gear and more patrols to secure the nation’s southern boundary.
“We are landing men on the moon and in outer space using all these great things. I think that other technology really can secure the borders,” the Republican governor said in an interview on ABC’s “This Week.”
“If I say now, ‘Yes, let’s build the wall,’ what would prevent you from building a tunnel? I mean, we’ve detected tunnels left and right that people can drive trucks through,” he added.
The comments were Schwarzenegger’s most detailed to date on the wall proposal, which was included in legislation enacted in the U.S. House of Representatives. Schwarzenegger has said previously that fences might be appropriate in some areas, but raised doubts about the effectiveness of a wall snaking along the border.
Speaking on ABC, the governor said, “I think that it will be ludicrous to limit yourself to just building a wall. We’re going back to the Stone Ages here.”
But he also suggested practical and symbolic reasons to oppose the proposal. He alluded to the Berlin Wall, suggesting that such a structure on the U.S. border would send the wrong message to Mexico, “our friends … our trading partners.”
Ok, so how does Arnold propose to secure the border? Unlike the Democrat governors of Arizona and New Mexico he has been AWOL on the border control, illegal alien issue.
But, he now is reading the same polls as Hillary Clinton.
Stay tuned…
