Cox & Forkum: The Ahmadinejad Code
Cox & Forkum: The Ahmadinejad Code
The winners have yet to be announced, but the 200-plus finalists in Iran’s “Holocaust International Cartoon Contest” were recently exhibited in Tehran and posted online.
And though not among the finalists, the above image was part of a cartoon accepted into the contest, one of over a thousand entries accepted. The cartoonist’s name, Hugh Bradley, can be seen on the contest’s list of participants under USA.
Obviously a cartoon featuring Adolf Hitler could be appropriate for such a contest, but there’s more to the image than meets the eye. It also contains a hidden message critical of the Iranian regime.
We know this because “Hugh Bradley” is really Cox & Forkum.
Cox & Forkum PUNK the DUMBASS ANTI-SEMITES in Tehran.
NIce Job!
NEVER AGAIN……..

Cox & Forkum: Stone Cold
Cox & forkum: Stone Cold
From CNN: Oliver Stone: ‘I’m ashamed for my country’.
Filmmaker Oliver Stone blasted President George W. Bush Thursday, saying he has “set America back 10 years.”Stone added that he is “ashamed for my country” over the war in Iraq and the U.S. policies in response to the attacks of September 11.
“We have destroyed the world in the name of security,” Stone told journalists at the San Sebastian International Film Festival prior to a screening of his latest movie, “World Trade Center.” The film tells the true story of the survival and rescue of two policemen who were trapped in the rubble of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, after they went to help people escape.
“From September 12 on, the incident (the attacks) was politicized and it has polarized the entire world,” said Stone. “It is a shame because it is a waste of energy to see that the entire world five years later is still convulsed in the grip of 9/11.
“It’s a waste of energy away from things that do matter which is poverty, death, disease, the planet itself and fixing things in our own homes rather than fighting wars with others. Mr. Bush has set America back 10 years, maybe more.”
The director of blockbusters such as “Platoon,” and “JFK” said the U.S. reaction to the attacks was out of proportion.
“If there had been a better sense of preparation, if we had a leadership that was more mature,” he said. “We did not fight back in the same way that the British fought the IRA or the Spanish government fought the Basques here. Terrorism is a manageable action. It can be lived with,” said Stone.
Flap is sooooo reassured from a LEFTY MORON filmmaker……

Cox & Forkum: The Clinton Legacy
Cox & Forkum: The Clinton Legacy
CNN: Sen. Clinton backs husband’s efforts to fight terrorism.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton Tuesday defended her husband in an ongoing war of words with conservatives over whether the administration did enough to fight terrorism.
The exchange started during a Sunday TV interview in which President Clinton defended his efforts to track down and kill al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
“I think my husband did a great job in demonstrating that Democrats are not going to take these attacks,” Sen. Clinton said.
“You know, and I’m certain that if my husband and his national security team had been shown a classified report entitled ‘Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States’ he would have taken it more seriously than history suggests it was taken by our current president and his national security team.”
This is revisionist history on the part of Hillary.
Or wishful thinking……..

AP: Abbas says unity effort ‘back to zero’. (via LGF)
Accusing the Islamic militant group Hamas of backtracking, moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas warned on Saturday that his efforts to set up a national unity government that is acceptable to the West are “back to zero.”
Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas said Friday he would not lead a coalition that recognizes Israel, dealing a blow Abbas’ attempts to form a power-sharing government between his ousted Fatah group and Hamas.
On Saturday, Hamas officials suggested that Abbas had oversold the emerging coalition to the international community, portraying it as more conciliatory toward Israel than it was meant to be. Despite Abbas’ pessimism, Hamas insisted a deal could still be struck.
Abbas is to meet with Hamas leaders in Gaza on Monday.
The latest setback comes at a time of growing tensions between Hamas and Fatah, particularly in the Gaza Strip, where some Fatah members have accused Hamas of involvement in the assassination of a Fatah-allied security chief last week. If the rival factions fail to reach agreement, more violent confrontations appear inevitable. …
Hamas fears it will lose popular support if it softens its hardline positions too much and becomes indistinguishable from Fatah. Recent polls indicate that a majority of Palestinians don’t want Hamas to recognize Israel, perhaps as a matter of pride, even though two-thirds also want Abbas to negotiate a peace deal with the Jewish state.

Cox & Forkum: Security Breach
Bloomberg:Iran’s President, in U.S., Calls Nuclear Issue ‘Not Important’ by Marc Wolfensberger.
Iran’s nuclear program is “not an important subject,” Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said as he arrived in New York to attend the 61st United Nations General Assembly. …Iran ignored an Aug. 31 UN Security Council deadline for the Islamic Republic to suspend its uranium enrichment, a process that can be used to make nuclear fuel or build a bomb, or face possible sanctions.
With Ahmadinejad back at the U.N., it’s important to remember what happened last time: The Mystical Menace of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad by Daniel Pipes.
When addressing the United Nations in September [2005], Mr. Ahmadinejad flummoxed his audience of world political leaders by concluding his address with a prayer for the Mahdi’s appearance: “O mighty Lord, I pray to you to hasten the emergence of your last repository, the Promised One, that perfect and pure human being, the one that will fill this world with justice and peace.”On returning to Iran from New York, Mr. Ahmadinejad recalled the effect of his U.N. speech:
one of our group told me that when I started to say “In the name of God the almighty and merciful,” he saw a light around me, and I was placed inside this aura. I felt it myself. I felt the atmosphere suddenly change, and for those 27 or 28 minutes, the leaders of the world did not blink. … And they were rapt. It seemed as if a hand was holding them there and had opened their eyes to receive the message from the Islamic republic.
No HALO this time around Ahmadinejad but…….some heat:

Cox & Forkum: Critical Mass
Cox & Forkum: Critical Mass
FoxNews: Pope Says He’s ‘Deeply Sorry’ for Reaction to Islam Speech.
Pope Benedict XVI said Sunday that he was “deeply sorry” about the angry reaction to his recent remarks about Islam, which he said came from a text that did not reflect his personal opinion.Despite the statement, protests and violence persisted across the Muslim world, with churches set ablaze in the West Bank and a hard-line Iranian cleric saying the pope was united with President Bush to “repeat the Crusades.”
An Italian nun also was gunned down in a Somali hospital where she worked, and the Vatican expressed concern that the attack was related to the outrage over the pope’s remarks.
Benedict sparked the controversy when, in a speech Tuesday to university professors during a pilgrimage to his native Germany, he cited the words of a Byzantine emperor who characterized some of the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, Islam’s founder, as “evil and inhuman.”
On Sunday, he stressed the words “were in fact a quotation from a medieval text which do not in any way express my personal thought.”
Michelle Malkin has Report: Catholic priest missing in Iraq; London jihadis: “Pope Benedict watch your back”
Blogger Joee in London (via LGF) reports on jihadists threatening Catholics outside Westminster Cathedral today:
Holy Mass on a Sunday is the very source and summit of the Catholic week, so my family decided this Sunday to make the trip to Westminster Cathedral together. As we came out about 100 Islamists were chanting slogans such as “Pope Benedict go to Hell” “Pope Benedict you will pay, the Muja Hadeen are coming your way” “Pope Benedict watch your back” and other hateful things. I’ll post more pictures of it when I get more free time. It was a pretty nasty demonstration. From 11 – 3pm they chanted absurd things, literally just outside the Cathedral. And from 11- 3pm (and indeed all day, every day) like every day of the week, faithful Catholics and non-Catholics (mainly tourists) wondered in and out of the magnificent Church, largely ignoring the furore of hatred this crowd of muslims was trying to stir up……I feel a bit uneasy posting the above, so any supportive comments would be very much appreciated!

Cox & Forkum on Mohammad Khatami
Cox & Forkum: Mohammad Khatami
The disgraced former president of Iran, Hojjat-ol eslam Mohammad Khatami, wants to speak in Washington, D.C., next month, and the State Department has already indicated it will welcome his visit.
This is pure foolishness of the type Lenin described when he famously noted that the capitalists would sell the rope with which the Communists would hang them.
Although Khatami has not yet formally applied for a visa, his talk at the Washington National Cathedral next month was approved by the office of Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns, according to the Washington Post.
This is the same Nicholas Burns who said last Friday that the United States would push for United Nations sanctions on Iran if Tehran does not accept a U.S.-backed package of incentives aimed at halting its uranium enrichment and reprocessing activities.
Indeed, if Nicholas Burns approved Khatami’s visit to the United States, Condoleezza Rice and the President should ask why of the Foggy Bottom Bureaucrat. And then THEY can explain to the American public why a terrorist anti-American former President of Iran is accorded a forum for his hate and pro-Iranian propaganda in the United States.
Now, let’s find out a little more about Mohammed Khatami:
Just one year into his term, his intelligence service murdered in horribly brutal fashion Darioush and Parvaneh Forouhar, leaders of the Iran Nation’s Party, then the best-organized opposition in Iran. The following year, Khatami quashed the student rebellion that began at Tehran University among INP members and sympathizers including Marzeporgohar (Iranians for a Secular Republic) and quickly spread to 18 other cities across Iran.
That was just the beginning of a crackdown on domestic dissent that occurred on Khatami’s watch and on his orders.
Ever since Ayatollah Khomeini seized power in a putsch on the night of Feb. 11-12, 1979, the State Department has been seeking “reformers†and “moderates†in Tehran.
Volumes have been written about these efforts. Some of them were contained in classified cables, shredded when the U.S. embassy was taken over by pro-Khomeini “students†in November 1979, and pieced together later on from the shredder sacks by Persian-carpet weavers.In the beginning, some “moderates†truly opposed Khomeini’s Islamofascist system. Most of them were executed, wound up in jail, or have spent the rest of lives under house arrest.
But Khatami was never one of them. In 1984, as minister of culture and Islamic propagation, he presided over the creation of Hezbollah, Iran’s proxy army of terrorists in Lebanon and elsewhere. He thought that was exactly what the Islamic Republic of Iran needed to do to expand its influence around the world.
What consider Khatemi a moderate?
NOT
As president, Khatami never opposed Iran’s development of nuclear weapons technology, or long-range ballistic missiles to deliver them. On the contrary, it was on Khatami’s watch that Iran accelerated its once-secret nuclear weapons development, and flouted its success to the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Khatami’s top nuclear expert, Hossein Mussavian, explained the ruse in an August 12, 2005, interview with Iranian state television, just days after Ahmadinejad took over as president.
Ahmadinejad supporters were arguing that Khatami had made unacceptable concessions by negotiating with the European Union over Iran’s nuclear program. But those critics did “not know that at that stage – that is, in August 2003 – we needed another year to complete the Esfahan (UCF) project so it could be operational,†Musavian reminded his viewers. (The Uranium Conversion Facility in Esfahan is where Iran today has processed more than 120 tons of enrichment feedstock, enough to manufacture between 10 to 20 nuclear weapons.)“[T] thanks to the negotiations with Europe we gained another year, in which we completed (the UCF) in Esfahan,†Mussavian said.
Khatami is being sent to Washington by the regime with a similar purpose: use happy talk to distract the United States from crafting serious international sanctions that would inflict real pain on this regime and possibly help spark a home-grown rebellion.
Former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami, has said that US foreign policy is fueling terrorism and warned a conference of Muslims in Chicago of the dangers of allowing “narrow minded viewpoints and practices†to dominate public policy and discourse.Why did the American State Department grant this Visa?
These are the people negotiating with Iran and they do NOT understand the enemy? Or Iranian Propaganda?
• Mr. Khatemi told CNN in January 1998, “The impression of the people of the Middle East and Muslims in general is that certain foreign policy decisions of the United States are in fact made in Tel Aviv, and not in Washington.” …
• Mr. Khatemi told CNN, “I regret to say that the improper American policy of unbridled support for the aggression of a racist, terrorist regime does not serve the United States interest, nor does it even serve those of the Jewish people.” …
• Mr. Khatemi has spoken of “the criminal Zionist regime.” …
• In April 2001, the official Islamic Republic News Agency quoted Mr. Khatemi as saying, “As a parasite, Zionism is founded on the fallacious concepts of superiority and the transgression of human rights.”
Condoleezza Rice, Nicholas Burns and the President have a great deal of explaining to do.
Stay tuned……
