Uh swamped.

Due to incredible demand for links and also due to my crushing will it never end schedule another linkfest. LetÂ’s see gotta do that and this and this and that too. IÂ’m also on Chili & Trick or Treater detail tonight. Whew!!! I swear I wonÂ’t do another one till Friday.

Israel vs Islamic Jihad.

FOXNEWS: Israeli forces encircled a house in the West Bank town of Qabatiyeh after sundown Sunday in pursuit of two militants linked to a deadly homicide bombing in central Israel last week. The two men opened fire on the troops and tried to flee the house, so the soldiers opened fire and killed them, the army said

Iranian opposition calls Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a Moron. Ok so I can agree with that.

FOXNEWS:Ahmadinejad's remarks harmed Iran. It was irresponsible and illogical," said Rajabali Mazrouei, a prominent reformer and former deputy. "We can't be more extremist than Palestinians themselves".

Paris Riots Continue. Nope Jihad Watch is not down.

UN Security Council passes resolution against Iran.

CNN:The resolution is under Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, which holds open the ultimate possibility of the Security Council considering the use of force with failure to comply. Speaking in Monday's meeting, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the resolution "made it clear that failure to comply with these demands will lead to serious consequences from the international community." She called the Chapter 7 resolution "the only way to compel the Syrians" to cooperate

Yahoo trolls Howie to click on this with the title “Iraqi VP’s Brother Killed”. Actually it was a bunch of MSM whiny crap.

Michelle Malkin has a Trick or Treat bag full of Info and links on Judge Alito. See Balloon Juice on the upcoming debate that is going to happen like it or not.

In case you are wondering about the gang of fourteen He sure don't seem extraordinary to me so far.

Is Joe Wilson a lying troll? Up yep looks that way.

Hat Tip: Jawa Readers.

Scary!!

Califonia Conservative: a mighty coalition consisting of Jacques Chirac, Gerhardt Schroeder, George Galloway, Cindy Sheehan, Michael Moore, Sean Penn and Martin Sheen, all led by the U.N.’s Kofi Annan, would’ve written some very forceful correspondence using the strongest language known to diplomacy — maybe even produced an accompanying music video.

Really Scary.

Dear readers, itÂ’s a time to puke.

Tony Blair Talks Back to Iran.

After Wednesdays display of stupid by IranÂ’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad followed almost immediately by Islamic JihadÂ’s bombing in Israel. Tony Blair has had enough. Islamic Jihad is supported by Iran and has headquarters in Damascus Syria.

Times of LondonTimes of London: Ending a one-day European Union summit, the Prime Minister called the explosive declaration by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday a disgrace. Promising discussions with Washington and other allies over how to react, Mr Blair said that he had often been urged not to take action against Iran. But he added: “If they carry on like this the question people will be asking us is — when are you going to do something about Iran? Can you imagine a State like that with an attitude like that having nuclear weapons?”

As Rusty just said Iran is raising the stakes. I think they are betting the US and Britain canÂ’t muster a response. With George W Bush and Tony Blair in the mix along with emerging democracy on two borders and an internal democracy movement I feel itÂ’s a bad bet. Yes itÂ’s time to deal with Iran and Syria. The struggle against intolerant nations will not be easily won. As you can see appeasement does not work. The EU has been trying that and Iran has thumbed their nose at all of us. If we fail to act they will only become more emboldened and dangerous.

Iran says, “Israel, Wipe Them Out”

IranÂ’s new President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has dropped the Mr. Nice guy lately.

Yahoo News: Anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation's fury, any (Islamic leader) who recognizes the Zionist regime means he is acknowledging the surrender and defeat of the Islamic world," Ahmadinejad said. Ahmadinejad also repeated the words of the founder of Iran's Islamic revolution, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who called for the destruction of Israel. "As the Imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map," said Ahmadinejad, who came to power in August.

So Mr. Ahmadinejad just how do you propose to do that with all peaceful nuclear technology you are working on that you just transferred to your military? The radical shift in Iran shows how much pressure having two democratic states on their borders added to the domestic cry for freedom is having. They must paint everyone as an enemy of Iran and create a struggle to maintain enough support to stop freedom. Current political problems in the US have left an opening for other nations to pour on pressure. Several have been taking advantage this week including Canada on timber and NAFTA.

Others : Captains Quarters and Jihad Watch.

Surfing with Howie.

Because I'm very sensitive to the fact that someone out there wants to saw my head off.

Saddam tied to Al-Qaeda by UN FOXNEWS:

New details of how dark the scandal could prove to be have emerged from the private sale of IHC on June 3, 2005, just as the procurement scandal was about to break. It now appears that while doing business with the U.N., IHC had links both to Saddam HusseinÂ’s old sanctions-busting networks, and to a Liechtenstein-based businessman, Engelbert Schreiber, Jr., known among other things for his ties to a figure designated by the U.N. itself as a financier of Al Qaeda

See: Dr Sanity.

So this explains why Saddam refused to give up old Zaqueery. IÂ’m very sensitive to the fate of those people in Iraq so Saddam should HANG after a fair trial. Also the trial should be blasted loudly day and night and be on Iraqi Nightline every freaking day for two years.

Michael Yon Reports on Iraqi Elections.

Yon:My dispatch entitled “Purple Fingers," covering the Iraqi Constitutional Referendum is finished. An excerpted version will be published in “The Weekly Standard” on Monday, 24 October 2005. The complete dispatch will be published here on the same day. On the evening before “Purple Fingers” is published, Sunday October 23rd, I will conduct a live radio interview from Iraq. Listeners can tune in over the Internet at 9:20 pm EST. For information about the program.

Hat Tip: Instapundit.

As you recall Michael is an embedded reporter in Iraq who reports on his blog. So donÂ’t miss that blog. Mr. Yon always has great photos and great stories. He's not one of those other kind of reporters whom IÂ’ll not link. Plus he seems kind of sensitive.

Religion of Peace targets comic strips wants piglet dead.

But come on he’s such a tiny animal. I’m so sensitive and stuff so those who hate piglet must DIE! Why you ask? I’ll tell you why, because they are not all sensitive like me. Speaking of me being all sensitive and stuff click here to see Howie in action. Select “Completely Understandable Breakdown”. Now if you will excuse me I'm going to go weld some stuff in the rain barefoot and shirtless.

Burned Bodies, What Really Happened.

One of the big stories this week was the supposed desecration of enemy bodies in Afghanistan. See this interesting report on NPR from the photojournalist who filmed the shots. He says the report on Aussie TV was misrepresenting US soldiers. First click on listen to see what the man who was there said. Next read the transcript of the Aussie program to see if they jive. Let me seeÂ….. Uh nope.

NPR:Stephen Dupont, the photojournalist who shot images of the incident, says he believes the Americans were following orders to burn the bodies for hygiene reasons.

The way I see it we gave em all damn day. Also note he says what no one else does. After the Taliban left these men to rot the next day the Americans sent a party to assist with the burial. Also note he says the corpses were not arranged in any fashion they were burned just where they fell. Read the transcript as well. Our boys look pretty good. Note the media twisting and spin the photographer is complaining about in bold. Also the media has twisted the timeline to sensationalize this.

Bush Meets With Abbas

Today President Bush met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. After the one hour meeting short statements were made. President Bush called Palestine to confront the armed gangs that constantly cause problems there. IÂ’ve noted that this is a problem. The Palestinian forces have not been wiling or able to face Hamas leaving Israel with the rather nasty job of doing so. If you are going to have a state you canÂ’t depend on your neighbor to do the dirty work for you.

MSNBC:

President Abbas is a man devoted to peace and to his people’s aspiration for a state of their own,” Bush said. “And today, the Palestinian people are closer to realizing their aspirations.” But, Bush said at a news conference after a one-hour meeting in the Oval Office, “the way forward is confronting the threat armed gangs present to creation of a democratic Palestine.”

At the same time the President warned Israel to be also following the roadmap to peace.

Israel should not undertake any activity that contravenes its roadmap obligations... ... Without elaboration, the president said Israel would be “held to account” for any actions that hamper peacemaking or burden the lives of Palestinians.

So it appears the US is being fair and balanced to both sides. Contrary to the perception that Israel wags our dog Mr. Bush seems to have both these dogs by the tail. I would even go so far as to say that if these parties get out of line hit them in the pocket book. Palestine desperately needs the aid we have been giving. How the same thing will work on Israel needs no explanation. The US has invested many years and untold billions of dollars trying to clean up this UN mess. ItÂ’s time we stop holding hands and pussyfooting around and demand not ask for both sides to get it together.

Vets Day Cancelled at Berkeley.

Ok if you are so far left that Berkeley don't want you to speak. Well I guess that says it all.

SunHerald:

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - (KRT) - Berkeley's Veterans Day ceremony, scheduled for Nov. 11, was abruptly canceled on Monday because the volunteer organizing committee split over the political content. At issue was a proposal by the chairman, singer/songwriter Country Joe McDonald, to have Bill Mitchell, a co-founder of Cindy Sheehan's organization, Gold Star Families for Peace, as the keynote speaker.

Others : California Conservative and Michelle Malkin.

Oh so this is Why CindyÂ’s in Berkeley. Also it looks like President Bush will have more than one Turkey this Thanksgiving.

Speaking of CC, What you really need to know to understand the Iraqi Elections and why the MSM doesnÂ’t tell you.

Related kinda Michael Yon is back in Iraq.

Terror hoax perp caught in Mexico.

CNN:

Mexican authorities arrested Jose Ernesto Beltran Quinonez, 34, early Saturday in Mexicali, a border city about 120 miles east of San Diego, the FBI said. A three-count indictment charges Beltran with perpetrating a terrorist hoax and making false statements about an alleged plot to smuggle a nuclear warhead into the United States from Mexico

DICK will explain his partyÂ’s plan to win the war which is.......AHHHHH.err... to shoot holes in someone elseÂ’s plan. Sounds like a winner there DICK. While you were thinking that up guess we have been doing? Also if they ever post it see why Condi Rice is the smartest person on DC.

Paraphrased “No I would never want to run for President”.

Al-Zawahiri Disclaims Letter

Al-Zawahiri has posted a statement saying this is a fabrication of the Black House.

Right Doc. So we would fabricate the best advice anyone could give Zaqueery. Nice try, of course you must disclaim it to raise doubt. Al-Qaeda is losing and you know it. Muslim public opinion is against you as they are seeing you for what you are, murderers. You bring nothing but suffering on those you say you fight for.

CNN:

Responding to al Qaeda in Iraq's denial, a spokesman for the U.S. director of national intelligence, John Negroponte, said top officials in the U.S. government are confident the letter is real. The spokesman said the letter was "verified by multiple sources over an extended period of time."

So Doc. Are you saying that Shia Slaughter in Iraq is just fine and dandy or what? That the murder of innocents and beheadings are exactly what Al-Qaeda should be doing? Or is the letter real? One or the other Doc.

Full Traslation of Ayman al-Zawahri's Letter to Zaqueery

The US had released a full transcript of a letter to Al-Qaida in Iraq. The letter intercepted last week spells out Al-Qaida's plans. They are counting on the US backing out of Iraq and then using Iraq as a base to spread westward to Syria and Lebanon and then to attack Israel.

Yahoo News:

"Things may develop faster than we imagine," Ayman al-Zawahri wrote in a letter to his top deputy in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. "The aftermath of the collapse of American power in Vietnam — and how they ran and left their agents — is noteworthy. ... We must be ready starting now."

Al-Zawahiri also worries that Zaqueery is screwing things up. My opinion is that Zaqueery has indeed hijacked the resistance and Bin Laden and Al-Zawahiri are no longer in control. The Al-Qaeda leadership realize they have a madman in Iraq and are desparate to control him. The recent beheading of hostages I feel is a thumb in the eye to the old leadership of Al-Qaeda and Zaqueery asserting his control.

We don't want to repeat the mistake of the Taliban, who restricted participation in governance to the students and the people of Qandahar alone. They did not have any representation for the Afghan people in their ruling regime, so the result was that the Afghan people disengaged themselves from them. Even devout ones took the stance of the spectator and, when the invasion came, the amirate collapsed in days, because the people were either passive or hostile.

Read the whole transcript here.

Army of Ansar al-Sunnah Murder Hostages by Beheading, Video Released (Images)

ansar_al_sunnah_beheading_10_05_2005_small.jpg
The Army of Ansar al-Sunnah, a well-known terrorist organization in Iraq with ties to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's al Qaeda forces, has released a video in which two hostages are beheaded. The Jawa Report has obtained a copy of the video. Gruesome images from the video are posted below (WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES BELOW).

The two innocent civilians are identified as Shaker Mahmoud Jassim and Riyadh Najim Abdullah. The timestamp on the video indicates it was made on September 12th of this year, but the video was not uploaded to the internet until today.

As in all such videos, the terrorists first force the victims to 'confess' to various crimes before they are murdered. Pronouncement of guilt is made on the victims under Islamic law. Thus, the murder and torture done by the terrorists is legitimized in the eyes of radicals as the legal execution of criminals for crimes against Islam. The beheading is done with a knife, is slow, and very painful.

Jassim is forced in the video to 'confess' that he works for the U.S. Army as an informant. As in all jihadi videos, American forces are portrayed as tools of a wider Jewish conspiracy.

The AP reports that Jassim urges in his 'confession':

I call on everyone who works with the Jews and the Americans to repent to God and leave this job.
ansar_al_sunnah_beheading_10_05_2005_small2.jpgIn all previous hostage murder videos, similar statements are made. The second victim, Abdullah, said he helped the Americans with information about a group of Saudi insurgents and was paid a large amount of money:
"We have become slaves to money," he said before he was taken outside and decapitated.
SITE reports that the video also warns:
That those who do not “come back to your religion and repent” will also be slaughtered.
As Abdullah's head is placed on his back, the camera panned to a sign that read in Arabic: "Go to hell, this is a revenge for our brothers".

The Army of Ansar al-Sunna is an offshoot of The Army of Ansar al-Islam, a Salafist terror organization with roots in Kurdish Iraq. After the fall of the Hussein Regime, the former leader of Ansar al-Islam, Musab al-Zarqawi, took foreign elements to found Tawhid and Jihad--later pledging loyalty to Osama bin Laden and changing the name, once again, to al Qaeda in the Land of Two Rivers (Mesopotamia, or Iraq). Ansar al-Sunnah and al Qaeda are believed to operate seperately now, but occasionally announce collaboration with one another.

This is the first beheading video in many months. These types of videos are propaganda meant for domestic purposes. The reason the terrorists in Iraq stopped producing beheading murder videos, and instead turning to videos of IED and other attacks on U.S. forces, is because they believed that they were doing more harm than good. Such videos tend to turn off the great mass of the Iraqi people, and especially Sunni Muslims on whom the terrorists depend for support and anonymity.

This video can only mean one thing: the terrorists have run into a wall in Iraq, they feel they must resort to threatening the population once again. The terrorists are slowly but surely losing.

Graphic images from the video below:

WARNING: PROCEED AT OWN RISK.

Why show these images? This is the true face of the so-called insurgents in Iraq. They are nothing more than terrorists scum who have a vision for Iraq similar to that of the Taliban in Afghanistan. They are waging jihad not only against Americans, but against Iraqis. Most media outlets will not show you what the terrorists are actually doing in Iraq. We will. more...
