    Cox & Forkum: Flying While Islamist

    The Washington Times, Muslim pilgrims urged to complain by Audrey Hudson. (via Iran Press News)

    CAIR is representing the six imams removed from a US Airways flight last month and has asked for a meeting with the airline to seek an out-of-court settlement. It maintains that police and witness reports detailing the imams unusual behavior before their removal last month were ethnically and/or religiously motivated.The imams say they were praying and did not, as the reports say, change seats and make remarks critical of President Bush and the Iraq war.

    Pilots and air marshals called the incident a “PC probe” to intimidate passengers and crew from reporting suspicious behavior by Muslim passengers and are fearful the incident will set off a domino effect of lawsuits.

    Little Green Footballs has the FOX News video of Debra Burlingame discussing the non-flying imams. Debra’s Wall Street Journal editorial, which we linked to previously, can be read here.

    Tim Sumner at 9/11 Families for America provides contact information to support U.S. Air and push back at CAIR.

    Pajamas Media has a the police report on the Faking Imams.

    Cox & Forkum: Parting Shot

    CNN: Annan chides U.S. in farewell speech.

    Kofi Annan had some strong words Monday for the United States in his farewell speech as secretary-general of the United Nations. …

    “When power, especially military force, is used, the world will consider it legitimate only when convinced that it is being used for the right purpose, for broadly shared aims, in accordance with broadly accepted norms.”

    As things stand, accountability between states is highly skewed. Poor and weak states are easily held to account, because they need foreign assistance. But large and powerful states, whose actions have the greatest impact on others, can be constrained only by their own people, working through their domestic institutions.

    That gives the people and institutions of such powerful states a special responsibility to take account of global views and interests, as well as national ones. …

    In fact, it is only through multilateral institutions that states can hold each other to account. And that makes it very important to organize those institutions in a fair and democratic way, giving the poor and the weak some influence over the actions of the rich and the strong.

    Kofi Annan is a damn CROOK along with his son. They both belong in prison.

    Good Bye and Good riddance…..

    Thanks for turning the United Nations from a feckless, meaningless, international organization into a CORRUPT, feckless, meaningless, international organization.

    Jules Crittenden has more.

    The Heritage Foundation: Kofi Annan’s Legacy of Failure 

    Today’s United Nations is a broken institution in fundamental need of wholesale reform. That is Annan’s legacy, and the United States and the world looks forward to new leadership at Turtle Bay—leadership that is untarnished by the taint of scandal and actually lives up to the ideals of the U.N.’s own Declaration of Human Rights. The U.N. needs a Secretary General who will seek real reform of the U.N. bureaucracy and aggressively stand up for democracy, human rights, and freedom.

    Indeed……

This year we decided to employ some of his T&A tactics, but the results are mixed. In case it isn’t obvious, we grafted the head of Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei onto the body of Day by Day‘s Jan. Kind of an Ayatollah Jan. Or a Bearded Lady. At a minimum, we have the transgender Islamist votes locked up.

    Fox News: Longtime Aide to Jimmy Carter Resigns, Claims Carter’s New Book Is Filled With Factual Errors

    A longtime aide to Jimmy Carter has resigned from the Carter Center think tank, calling the former president’s new book on Israel and the Arabs one-sided and filled with errors.

    Kenneth Stein, the Carter Center’s first executive director and founder of its Middle East program, sent a letter that bluntly criticized the book to Carter and others.

    Stein wrote that the book, “Palestine: Peace, Not Apartheid,” was replete with factual errors, material copied from other sources and “simply invented segments,” according to an excerpt of the letter published by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

    Deanna Congileo, Carter’s spokeswoman, said the former president stands by the book.

    Stein, who is also director of the Institute for the Study of Modern Israel at Emory University, did not immediately return a call Wednesday.

    Carter issued a brief statement saying that Stein had not been actively involved with the center for more than 12 years and was not involved with the new book. Carter did not directly address Stein’s allegations.

    Powerline has more. And at Huffington Post, Alan Dershowitz details many of the errors he found in Carter’s “indecent book.”

    Isn’t former President Jimmy Carter ready for retirement yet? He was the WORST American President in the 20th century and he continues on and on with misguided policies and outright lies.

    Jimmy give it a rest.

    Who publishes his crap anyway?

    Cox & Forkum: Stalker

    CNN: Iran letter calls on Americans to change Bush policies.

    Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has written a letter to the American people praising them as “truth-loving and justice-seeking” and urging them to “play an instrumental role” in helping to change Bush administration policy in the Middle East. …In his letter, Ahmadinejad explains he is writing the American people because the two countries share similar values, including the desire “to promote and protect freedom and human dignity and integrity.” …

    In his letter, Ahmadinejad — who has called for Israel to be “wiped off the map” — asks what the U.S. government’s “blind support for the Zionists” has “brought for the American people.”

    “Is it not because they have imposed themselves on a substantial portion of the banking, financial, cultural and media sectors?” he said, referring to Jewish people.

    Iran Nuclear Watch: Ahmadinejad Sends ANOTHER Letter – This Time to the American People

    The text of the complete letter is here.

    Ahmadinejad and the Iranian Mullahs are NUTTERS who happen to be ISLAMOFASCISTS.

    How long will President Bush and Israel negotiate with these crazy maniacal NUTS? And help in the Iraq War – Are you kidding me?

    And look at Iranian TV satire of President Bush, Condoleezza Rice, Tony Blair and Arnold.

    And Ahmadinejad’s REAL MESSAGE:

    Media commentators in the U.S. are likely to pick up on the “public relations” side of the letter. Ahmadinejad calls on the U.S. to bring the troops home from Iraq, to cut off support for Israel, and to stop “kidnapping presumed opponents from across the globe” and holding them in secret prisons.

    He even has some advice for the new Democrat majority in Congress: Bend to the Muslim agenda, or you will be tossed out of power.

    Ahmadinejad repeatedly tries to appeal to Americans as people of faith, who share Islamic values. “We, like you, are aggrieved by the ever-worsening pain and misery of the Palestinian people,” he drones. “Persistent aggressions by the Zionists are making life more and more difficult for the rightful owners of the land of Palestine.”

    And he trots out his old anti-Semitic saw, claiming that “the Zionists” control America “because they have imposed themselves on a substantial portion of the banking, financial, cultural, and media sectors.”

    But to focus on these parts of his letter, however silly and objectionable they may be, would be to miss the main point. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is not the Hugo Chavez of the Persian Gulf. He knows that soon he will have his finger on the nuclear trigger.

    Citing from the Quran at the close of his letter, he says that if Americans “repent” of their “injustice,” they will be blessed with many gifts. “We should all heed the divine Word of the Holy Qur’an,” he says.

    The context of this particular verse (28:67-28, Sura “Al-Qasas,” or The Narration), is very clear. It follows a graphic description of destruction and devastation that will befall those who fail to repent of their injustice.

    It also sets out the terms of the tradition Muslim warning to the enemies of Allah. “And never will your Lord destroy the towns until He sends to their mother town a Messenger reciting to them Our Verses.” This is is precisely what Ahmadinejad is doing in his letter.

    Dump Bush, allow the Muslims to destroy Israel, and adopt Islam — or else you will be destroyed. This is Ahmadinejad’s message.

    From the Scotsman: Battered Bush shows new zeal for diplomacy.

    THE Bush administration has not been known for dramatic policy shifts, until last week.For while the US President was making tentative noises that Syria and Iran might have a role to play in salvaging something from the wreckage of Iraq, the previously unthinkable was already happening.

    Damascus and Tehran have been talking to senior Washington diplomats and advisers about their role in creating some kind of stability in the region.

    From Hamilton Spectator: Democracy in Iraq out of reach for now, Kissinger says.

    Former U.S. secretary of state Henry Kissinger, a frequent adviser to President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, has concluded that the United States must choose between stability and democracy in Iraq — and that democracy, for now, is out of reach.

    Cox & Forkum: Status Quo Redux

    After the Republican’s election defeat, Bush and Cheney wore Democrat-blue ties while congratulating Democrats. Considering who Republicans elected to lead them this week, that may be as much change as we can expect.

    In TIA Daily, Robert Tracinski observed:

    Offered new leadership by the “small government conservatives,” Republicans chose instead to stick with the status quo, choosing to keep semi-small-government advocate John Boehner as their new Minority Leader, and pork-barrel-soaked Roy Blunt as their number two man. It’s a disappointing failure of the Republicans to act decisively on one of the lessons they learned (but apparently not well enough) from the election.

    Indeed……..

    TimesOnline: Blair: We must work with ‘Axis of Evil’ states. (via Regime Change Iran)

    The first cracks in the united front over Iraq between Tony Blair and President Bush appeared last night as the Prime Minister offered Iran and Syria the prospect of dialogue over the future of Iraq and the Middle East.Mr Blair said there could be a new “partnership” with Iran if it stopped supporting terrorism in Iraq and gave up its nuclear ambitions. Syria and Iran could choose partnership or isolation, he said.

    We’re depicting Blair above as being reminiscent of another British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain. From Wikipedia:

    Chamberlain is perhaps the most ill-regarded British Prime Minister of the 20th century, largely because of his policy of appeasement towards Nazi Germany regarding the abandonment of Czechoslovakia to Hitler at Munich in 1938.

    On returning from Munich, Chamberlain declared: “I believe it is peace in our time.”

    Haaretz: Netanyahu: It’s 1938 and Iran is Germany; Ahmadinejad is preparing another Holocaust

    Drawing a direct analogy between Iran and Nazi Germany, Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu asserted Monday that the Iranian nuclear program posed a threat not only to Israel, but to the entire western world. There was “still time,” however, to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons, he said.

    “It’s 1938 and Iran is Germany. And Iran is racing to arm itself with atomic bombs,” Netanyahu told delegates to the annual United Jewish Communities General Assembly, repeating the line several times, like a chorus, during his address. “Believe him and stop him,” the opposition leader said of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. “This is what we must do. Everything else pales before this.”

    While the Iranian president “denies the Holocaust,” Netanyahu said, “he is preparing another Holocaust for the Jewish state.”

    Cox & Forkum: Federal Hold ’em

    AP: Experts: Ban won’t stop online gambling

    Gamblers may look over their shoulder now, but experts say a new Internet gambling ban won’t keep bettors from ponying up, just turn them on to overseas payment services out of the law’s reach.

    “It has put a terrible scare into people,” said I. Nelson Rose, who teaches gambling law at Whittier Law School. “But it won’t by any means wipe out Internet gambling.”

    The fright swept through the $12 billion industry on the heels of the recent arrests of two gambling company executives and a new law President Bush signed Oct. 13 that seeks to ban most online gambling and criminalizes funds transfers.

    The law has wiped out billions of dollars in shareholder value of British companies, leaving the industry’s future in doubt as U.S. lawmakers initially trumpeted they had found a way to halt bets coming from America. But serious questions remain about whether the legislation can be effective in stopping U.S. residents from playing poker or betting on sports.

    The new law will NOT stop on-line gambling. Look at POKER now……..

    When the American financial institutions realize how much revenue they are losing to offshore companies the law will be changed.

    And quick…….
