Peace in five years - Olmert

Friday, March 30th, 2007

Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they […]

Mediator Extroidinaire To The Rescue!

Friday, March 30th, 2007

As the hostage crisis in Iran continues to heat up, Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan sees yet another opportunity to ride in on his white horse and mediate. Truly a bridge builder. What a guy. Sounds frighteningly similar to another individual that some (including myself) are expecting to come from Turkey:
And through his […]

Shame on you Mrs. Pelosi!

Friday, March 30th, 2007

In a few other posts, I’ve hinted at my feelings regarding the America Democrat party. For all practical purposes, the American left-wing has positioned itself as the frontier guards for the Islamic movement. The radicals fight the war abroad and the left fight against America’s interests here at home. Like the […]

Analysis: Are the Saudis seeking peace?

Friday, March 30th, 2007

Here’s an excellent editorial piece by Dore Gold. He has written a few excellent books on both Jerusalem and Saudi Arabia.

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

Excellent article with regard to painting a picture of what it is like in the Saudi Kingdom. As you read these descriptions, ask yourself which nation sounds more extravgant — more flamboyant; the US or Saudi.

Arabs to Israel: Peace on our terms or war

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

This is an absolute joke. I have to admit that I get furious when I read nonsense like this. Yet despite these barely veiled threats, no doubt the Western nations will still contniue to apply pressure on Israel to accept such a proposed “peace”. And sadly, my country is leading the […]

Big powers jockey for oil in Central Asia

Christian Science Monitor
Here at Dushanbe airport, French Air Force planes sit on the tarmac, their blue, white, and red roundels looking a bit incongruous against the backdrop of the soaring, snowy Pamir Mountains.

A dozen miles away, Indian engineers are quietly reconstructing a former Soviet airfield. In central Tajikistan, Russia maintains a motorized infantry division of […]

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

Does anyone else think that the tired and lame old theory that Catholicism and Islam would merge needs to be put to rest?

BAGHDAD: Two elderly sisters, both Chaldean Catholic nuns, were stabbed to death in their home in Kirkuk, city police reported Tuesday, saying the motive for the attack was not known.

Kirkuk […]

A-Zahar Reiterates Hamas Goal: World Domination

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

This wouldn’t even be publicly known if not for Palestinian Media Watch. And I bet that a lot of folks wish that it wasn’t even reported:
(IsraelNN.com) Addressing a mass rally in memory of the founder of the Hamas terrorist organization, Ahmed Yassin, senior Hamas leader and former Palestinian Authority official Mahmoud A-Zahar reiterated a […]
