Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 CLINTONS CONNECTED TO THE GEORGE ALLEN LYNCHING The latest hot internet speculation is that BOTH Bill and Hillary Clinton may well be connected to the lynching of Virginia Republican US Senator George Allen. Whether this is mere internet speculation, or whether it goes farther than that and is actually true remains to be seen. Here now the speculation, as Fox News would say: " We Report You Decide! " Remember the name John N. Walsh Jr.? You do if you read Are Saddams Saddemocrats Behind The George Allen Lynching. John N. Walsh Jr. is also a relative of John N. Walsh, III.

Dr. Who? No not the British science fiction series time traveler in any of his many incarnations. Doctor Ken Shelton is the man accusing Virginia Republican US Senator George Allen of things we firmly believe are absolutely untrue. " During a deer hunt with Allen in the early 1970s, Shelton said, Allen asked whether black families lived in the area before stuffing a female deer's head into the mail box of a black household. " George insisted on taking the severed head, and I was a little shocked by that, " Shelton said. " This was just after the movie `The Godfather' came out with the severed horse's head in the bed, " Shelton told the AP. Doug Jones, who said he roomed with Shelton at Virginia , said in a statement that he never saw or heard anything from Allen that supports Shelton `s claims. " I never heard George Allen use any racially disparaging word nor did I ever witness or hear about him acting in a racially insensitive manner, " Jones said. " What the news stories are NOT telling you is that Doctor Ken Shelton is the founder of something called Tobacco FREE for Life Tobacco Free for Life - Teaching kids of all ages the truth about smoking. ... and is currently operating out of an office on the Pardee Hospital campus. ...www.tobaccofreeforlife.org/home.shtml Tobacco FREE for Life TFL started in 1996 by Dr. Ken Shelton of Hendersonville Radiological Consultants and is currently operating out of an office on the Pardee Hospital campus. ...www.tobaccofreeforlife.org/home.shtml and that Pardee Hospital is the recipient of Grants Help Fund New Cardio-Pulmonary Rehab and Diabetes Education Center Pardee Hospital Foundation recently received notification of $80,000 worth of grants toward Pardee's new Cardio-Pulmonary Rehabilitation and Diabetes Education Center. The Center will be constructed in Pardee's Thompson Street facility which currently houses Pardee's Urgent Care and Rehab and Sports Therapy services. The James H. Cummings Foundation has awarded a $50,000 grant toward the creation of the center. Cummings Foundation was established in 1962 by the late Mr. Cummings to fund medical science, medical research and medical education, as well as some other focus areas, in Buffalo, Toronto and Hendersonville. The Cummings Foundation previously funded Pardee's Emergency Department expansion. The Perry N. Rudnick Donor Advised Fund of the Community Foundation of Henderson County has awarded a $25,000 grant toward the project. The Community Foundation of Henderson County supports charitable programs in the greater Henderson County area. It was founded in 1983 and administers over 400 funds with assets of over $67 million. South Financial Group Foundation, formerly known as the Carolina First Foundation, has awarded a $5,000 grant toward the creation of the center. The South Financial Group Foundation was created in 1999 with a focus on improving education through enhancing the quality of life for the community. In addition to these three grants, more than $179,000 has been raised from the Pardee Hospital Auxiliary and other generous benefactors. Proceeds from the 11th Annual Tournament of Champions will also go toward the Center, contributing to a total of nearly $323,000 in funds raised for this project. source: http://www.pardeehospital.org/foundation/whats_new/cardio.htm James H Cummings Foundation Inc 1807 Elmwood Ave Ste 112, Buffalo, NY, James H Cummings Foundation Inc - detailed company profile James H Cummings Foundation Inc 1807 Elmwood Ave Ste 112,Buffalo, New York 14207-2434 Year Started: 1962 Contact Name: John N Walsh Jr Contact Title: President " source: http://www.manta.com/coms2/dnbcompany_6l5q1g John N.

The historic name confused many, who believed that NCCJ was an interfaith organization. Therefore the new name is not a change in vision, but rather an affirmation of our abiding commitment to embrace the diversity of our nation. NCCJ is the only national human relations organization that focuses on a broad range of " isms, " the multiple manifestations of discrimination and oppression that are based on one's religion, race, gender, sexual orientation, bias crimes to racial profiling - the challenges ahead are real. To confront and overcome them, NCCJ maintains an abiding commitment to work with decision-makers and leaders to support their work to build an inclusive society. " Now all of these things are of course worthy goals. Medical research is admirable, so is fighting the ills of tobacco, although Webb himself admits to being someone who has chewed tobacco for many years, and certainly fighting discrimination of any sort is a worthy goal. It is the interesting cross connections between the characters involved in the character assassination and overall lynching of Senator Allen that lead us to believe that there are just too many coincidences involved to be pure coincidence. However, to paraphrase Fox News once again, " We report, you decide! " What do you think of the so-called coincidences in this story? Are they more than mere coincidence? As far back as May of 2006 Larry Sabato was so concerned about who would challenge Republican US Senator George Allen in the Virginia Senate Race in 2006 that he was calling one of the Democratic candidates for the nomination " The worst candidate I have ever seen. " That candidate, Harris Miller, did not get nominated. The candidate who was nominated was former Navy Secretary James Webb, a.k.a. Jim Webb. Sabato in May of 2006 said of George Allen in 2008, " Sabato ranks him as one of three GOP hopefuls who have an actual shot at winning the nomination. " source: http://virtuconindustries.blogspot.com/2006/05/larry-and-me.html the article is below: Virginia Virtucon (Virtual Conservative) Thursday, May 18, 2006 Larry and Me I had the good fortune to be able to speak with UVA Prof. Larry Sabato yesterday after an event in D.C. I got the chance to ask him about some of the hot topics in the Virginia blogosphere and he had some interesting things to say. " The worst candidate I have ever seen. " " A joke. " " Won't even look you in the eye when he is talking to you. " Who might you ask is he describing? None other than 2006 Democrat senate hopeful Harris Miller. However, Sabato wouldn't go so far as to say that Miller wouldn't be the nominee. While the good Professor didn't shy away from making predictions in any other race he was asked about, he didn't even make a guess on the Democrat senate primary next month. Why? Well, he seems convinced that there is a large Democrat contingent who will never vote for Jim Webb on the sole basis that he was a Reagan appointee. What he would say is that neither Miller nor Webb would defeat George Allen in November. He said that Webb would make it more interesting than Miller, but they would both ultimately lose. Aside from Democrats not voting for Webb on the basis of his ties to the Reagan Administration, Sabato claimed that there are organized efforts by Republicans to vote in the Democrat primary for Miller on the basis that he is such a horrible candidate and would lose worse than Webb to Allen in November. (If there are indeed such efforts, I have yet to hear of them.) On George Allen in 2008, Sabato ranks him as one of three GOP hopefuls who have an actual shot at winning the nomination, the other two being John McCain and Mitt Romney. Sabato pointed out the weaknesses of all three candidates—McCain being a maverick in a party that hasn't nominated a maverick since Wendell Wilke; Romney being Governor of Massachusetts which automatically makes him suspect to conservatives; and Allen being more Bush than Bush in a time when W's approval ratings are in the basement. Finally, closer to home, I posed the question to Prof. Sabato about whether PWC Chairman Sean Connaughton has a future at the statewide level in Virginia . Sabato thought that without a doubt he does, but said Connaughton might have to wait a cycle or two in order to give himself a chance to remake his image after he was, as Sabato put it, " unfairly characterized as a Tom Davis-moderate " during the 2005 Lt. Gov. primary. So, there you have it—straight from Sabato's mouth to my ears and typed here by my fingers. Categories: Virginia Politics_ posted by Riley, Not O'Reilly at 5/18/2006 http://virtuconindustries.blogspot.com/2006/05/larry-and-me.html That Larry Sabato was concerned about who might be elected President in 2008 is clear. Here's Sabato being quoted about a Hillary blunder: " A blunder for Clinton ? By THOMAS M. DeFRANK DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU WASHINGTON - Hillary Clinton's painstakingly crafted campaign to soften her limousine liberal pedigree for 2008 hit a speed bump in Harlem yesterday. Ever since being elected to the Senate, New York `s junior senator has strived to persuade moderate and independent voters she's not just another Hollywood lefty. But her likening of House Republican leaders to slave-era plantation overseers at least momentarily complicates her move-to-the-middle blueprint. " The use of the word `plantation' is terribly unwise, " said Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia `s Center for Politics. " It will just reinforce the view most Americans have of Hillary Clinton as being very liberal. " It could have been worse, Sabato added: " At least she didn't mention Hitler.

A quick search of Federal Election Commission records at NewsMeat.com reveals that Cain gave Sen. John Kerry $300 last year and Sabato donated $500 in 1999 to Utah Democrat James Matheson's winning run for a seat in the House. Yet, good luck locating a single news story that quotes either man and references the political donations they've made. Sabato's official site, the Crystal Ball, evaluates Rep. Matheson's race in 2006, and he doesn't mention his contribution to Matheson. I guess Sabato doesn't believe in full disclosure and transparency.

Sabato's 50th birthday and raise money for the Center for Politics… Katie Sullivan , Cavalier Daily Associate Editor …Virginia Gov. Mark R. Warner slowly worked his way through the crowd,…. Clearly, these people could only have gathered for one reason—to celebrate Politics Prof. Larry J. Sabato's 50th birthday. Virginia politicians, political analysts, journalists and University students and alumni gathered Monday night in the Richmond Marriot to wish Sabato a happy birthday. Rather than traditional cake and candles, however, a few prominent Virginia politicians humorously chose to light something else on fire—Sabato's reputation. Warner said he accepted the invitation to speak for the opportunity to give Sabato some of his own medicine. " Larry's been roasting all of us for years, " Warner said. " Turnabout is fair play. " The celebration, called the " Sabato Five-O, " took the form of a roast a la Comedy Central. The event also served as a fundraiser for The University of Virginia Center for Politics, of which Sabato serves as director. The Center for Politics, located on Old Ivy Road …After the crowd made its way into the dining room, former Virginia Gov. L. Douglas Wilder introduced himself as emcee of the night's festivities, and proceeded to introduce a video, much like those shown at bachelor parties. The video started out with photos of Sabato's youth, then moved to doctored photographs including Sabato as Elvis and an onlooker in the fateful photograph of former President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. …The program then gave six of Virginia `s most powerful politicians the opportunity to poke fun at a man who, as he himself claimed, has predicted defeat for every one of them…. Virginia Attorney General Jerry Kilgore spoke about Sabato's ability to state the obvious and make it sound profound, then joked about Sabato's abundance of media exposure. " He spends so much time in front of the camera lights, " Kilgore said, " that when he opens his fridge at night he speaks for three minutes.

" …Allen mentioned budgets cuts facing the University as well, and, indicating Warner, said, " If he cuts your budget next year, Larry, put it in your file as something mean a Democrat did to you. " Allen, who attended the University as an undergraduate with Sabato, remembered Sabato's beginnings as a student who wanted to fight the power of special interest groups. " Then I see this gathering, " Allen said. " You make Hillary Clinton look like a pike. " Other commentary centered on Sabato's role as a professor... Politics Prof. Larry J.

" Consider if you will the Dr.Shelton situation: " Dr. Shelton said the incident with the deer head occurred during their college days when he, Mr. Allen, and another teammate who has since died were hunting on a farm the third man's family owned near Bumpass, Va., 40 miles east of the university.

" source: http://www.nysun.com/article/40451?page_no=3 We have a million dollar question about Larry Sabato. From " AJR, American Journalism Review April/May 2005 issue The Quote Machines By Mark Francis Cohen Mark Francis Cohen, whose work has appeared in the Washington Post and the New York Times, is a contributing editor at Washingtonian magazine. Larry J. Sabato, who bills himself on the paid speaking circuit as " probably the most quoted college professor in the land, " recently donated $1 million to the University of Virginia . That sum of money—estimated to be 12 to 13 times the scholar's annual salary—makes Sabato, 52, the most generous faculty member the university has ever employed. Actually, it's one of the biggest gifts an active professor has handed to a school anywhere. So where did Sabato get all this cash? " Thank goodness for compound interest, " the mustachioed pundit told the Washington Post the day his gift was announced. " It's amazing what you can live on eating Kraft Macaroni & Cheese for dinner. " " Still, a prudent lifestyle and savvy investment decisions hardly explain Sabato's beneficence. The scholar has amassed mounds of extra cash writing 23 books and moonlighting as a public speaker. He's a successful pundit whose words and face blanket the newspapers and airwaves, appearances that boost his profile and his cachet on the speaking circuit….it has become routine for individual editors, say on a national desk, to forbid reporters from using certain pundits as sources. Many editors interviewed for this article would only admit such prohibitions anonymously. " I have told my reporters not to use Larry Sabato anymore, " says the editor of a publication that covers Congress. " You decide: Where did Sabato get the million dollars? Why would " the editor of a publication that covers Congress " have told his " reporters not to use Larry Sabato anymore. " ? Dr. Shelton said Mr. Allen used the N-word only around white teammates. Dr. Shelton said the incident with the deer head occurred during their college days when he, Mr. Allen, and another teammate who has since died were hunting on a farm the third man's family owned near Bumpass, Va., 40 miles east of the university.

" RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 25, 2006 (AP) Sen. George Allen on Monday denounced as " ludicrously false " claims from a former college football teammate that he frequently used a racial slur to refer to black people. Dr. Ken Shelton, now a radiologist in Hendersonville , N.C. , also alleges that Allen, a former University of Virginia quarterback, once stuffed the severed head of a deer into a black household's oversized mail box. In an Associated Press interview, Allen vehemently denied the allegations Shelton made in an article published in the online magazine Salon.com and an AP interview Sunday night. His campaign released statements from four other ex-teammates defending Allen and rejecting Shelton `s claims. " The story and his comments and assertions in there are completely false, " Allen said during an interview with AP reporters and editors. " I don't remember ever using that word and it is absolutely false that that was ever part of my vocabulary. " Questions about racial insensitivity have dogged the Republican throughout his re-election bid against Democrat Jim Webb. Shelton , a tight end and wide receiver for the Cavaliers in the early 1970s, said Allen used the N-word only around white teammates…. During a deer hunt with Allen in the early 1970s, Shelton said, Allen asked whether black families lived in the area before stuffing a female deer's head into the mail box of a black household. " George insisted on taking the severed head, and I was a little shocked by that, " Shelton said.

James Webb is Senator Allen's opponent in the Virginia Senate race this year. Webb is an opponent of the liberation of Iraq. Webb is one of what we like to call Saddam's Saddemocrats The following item on Jim Webb, a.k.a. James Webb. comes from his campaign website: " In government, Jim served in the U.S. Congress as counsel to the House Committee on Veterans Affairs from l977 to l98l " source: http://www.webbforsenate.com/biography/ We wonder what sort of useful and lasting contact Jim Webb, a.k.a.

Here is a story about Senator Allen's opponent Jim Webb, a.k.a. James Webb, that you will NEVER see on the Saddemocrat controlled media: " Webb's alleged use of a racial epithet In late September, Webb was asked if he had ever used the " N-word. " Webb replied that " I don't think that there's anyone who grew up around the South that hasn't had the word pass through their lips at one time in their life. " Webb noted that that word and a lot of other epithets were in " Fields of Fire, " a novel Webb wrote about the Vietnam War. Allen campaign officials referred reporters to Dan Cragg, a former acquaintance of Webb's. Craig said that Webb told him in 1983 that Webb and members of his ROTC unit at the University of Southern California would " hop into their cars, and would go down to Watts , " taking fake rifles, yell out epithets, " point the rifles at them, pull the triggers and then drive off laughing. " source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_United_States_Senate_election% 2C_2006#Webb.27s_alleged_use_of_a_racial_epithet By contrast, although he has wrongfully been painted as a racist by the Saddemocrat controlled media US Senator George Allen, Republican of Virginia is no such thing. He is in fact, just the opposite. As a US Senator George Allen sponsored legislation to award $1.25 billion in grants for computers and technology for historically black colleges and universities — the measure died in the US House of Representatives. " I have worked very hard in the Senate to reach out to all Americans, regardless of their race, religion, ethnicity or gender, " Senator George Allen said. Senator George Allen proposed that the Senate apologize for its failure to enact anti-lynching laws in the 1930's and 40's. In fact Senator Allen is being politically lynched every day in the Saddemocrat controlled media. He is no racist. We have what we believe is a credible theory about the so-called " macaca " incident. What we did not know at the time the so-called " macaca " story appeared was that Senator Allen's mother is Jewish. We found that out later. Jews of the generation of Senator Allen's mother frequently speak one version of Yiddish or another. Here is some of the coverage of the so-called " macaca " incident: " This fellow here, over here with the yellow shirt, Macaca, or whatever his name is, he's with my opponent, " Mr. Allen said on Friday night at a rally in Breaks, next to the Kentucky border. " He's following us around everywhere. And it's just great…. The senator's communications director, John Reid, said in an interview Tuesday that Allen campaign workers had good-naturedly nicknamed Mr. Sidarth " Mohawk " because he would not disclose his name and the sobriquet seemed appropriate for Mr. Sidarth's hairstyle. Perhaps, Mr. Reid suggested, " Mohawk " morphed into " macaca, " with results that turned out to be regrettable. After his initial use of the term, Mr. Allen went on to urge the crowd to " give a welcome to Macaca here. Welcome to America and the real world of Virginia .. " Mr. Reid said those words were not an effort to stamp a " foreigner " label on Mr. Sidarth, who was born in Fairfax County , Va. People who follow the campaign of Mr. Allen, who was born in California , know that he often talks about " the real America , real people in the real world, " meaning people outside the Washington Beltway, Mr. Reid said. Mr. Allen expressed further regrets on Tuesday, saying, " I apologize if my comments offended this young man. " What we believe Senator Allen was trying to say was fakakta: Yiddish for crazy, all mixed up. Source: http://www.english.com.tw/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php? topic_id=2553 & forum=22 & pos\ t_id=9332 We believe that Senator Allen would have heard one version of that word or another frequently as a child from his Jewish mother or one or more of his other Jewish relatives,some of whom spoke several languages.

" There are thousands of online examples of the word fakakta which is also sometimes spelled in a variety of other ways including fekakte or verkakte, among others. We cannot blame Senator Allen for mispronouncing fakakta as " macaca " . He certainly never meant to use any sort of racial slur or epithet. " In October of 1983 (according to a report in The Jerusalem Post), Syrian television showed 16-year-old girls-trainees in the Syrian Ba'ath Party militia-fondling live snakes as President Hafez Assad and other Syrian leaders looked on approvingly. Martial music reached a crescendo as the girls suddenly bit the snakes with their teeth, repeatedly tore off flesh and spat it out as blood ran down their chins.

Syrian troops, who have been occupying most of Lebanon since 1984, overran the headquarters of General Michel Aoun, the military chief of Lebanon's Maronite Christians, on Oct. 13. No organized military resistance to Syria now exists in what was once the Arab world's best approximation of democracy. *** With Washington's smiles turning back toward Damascus, Syrian President Hafez Assad grabbed his opportunity, and General Aoun has been driven to seek refuge in the French Embassy in Beirut. At least 30, and perhaps as many as 100, of General Aoun's followers were captured by Syrian soldiers, handcuffed, lined up and shot in the back of the head. On Sunday in the town of Baabda, gunmen in Lebanese army uniforms murdered another of the few remaining Lebanese leaders to dare to oppose Syrian control-Danny Chamoun-and his wife and two young sons. France has asked the United Nations to investigate the atrocities that have followed the Syrian takeover. The U.S has not joined that request. The State Department, instantaneous and eager in its condemnation of Israel, has yet to mumble a word of displeasure about Syria's killings. As the Syrians descend on Lebanon, so soon after their brother Baathists consumed Kuwait, we hope the Bush Administration is able to sustain a clear- eyed view of America's new Middle Eastern ally, Hafez Assad. " Can you imagine the nightmare of Hillary Rodham Clinton elected President in 2008 and James Webb,a.k.a. Jim Webb, elected Vice President in 2008? What sort of views does Webb have of Bashir al Assad, the son of the Syrian dictator Hafez Al Assad, and his Baathist regime? Here is Webb being quoted about Syria, the nation from which and through which most of the terrorists who are murdering Americans and coalition forces and innocent Iraqis right now come from,in 2006: " On the current situation in the Middle East, Webb said he believes the U.S. must befriend Syria and try to use that country as an ally… " And if under President Hillary Rodham Clinton and Vice President James Webb, a.k.a. Jim Webb, or President Webb should something happen to Presdient Hillary Rodham Clinton the U.S. befriends Syria and tries to use Syria as an ally what country or countries will Syria be used as an ally against? Against Israel? Syria is no friend of Israel. So if under President Hillary Rodham Clinton and Vice President James Webb, a.k.a. Jim Webb America becomes the friend of Syria and the Syria is the enemy of Israel does America become the enemy of Israel? Does America nuke Israel? Does America round up American Jews and open extermination camps? In America can a sitting US Senator be asked whether he has Jewish ancestry? Think it can't happen here? It just did in Virginia!

Syria's Information Minister Muhsin Bilal says the " Syrian nation will not wait much longer for the return of the Golan Heights. " He told the Egyptian Al-Ahram newspaper that though Syria has waited patiently for 16 years hoping the " peace for land " formula would be implemented, " nothing has happened. " In the meanwhile, an Israel Air Force officer said today that the main threat against Israel today stems from short-range rockets from Gaza, Lebanon and possibly Judea and Samaria. " If the IDF had had full intelligence on everything going on in southern Lebanon near Israel, we could have prepared better for a better solution, both from the air and on the ground, to the short-range Katyusha missiles, " he said. The officer said that the maps used by the Air Force were more up-to-date than those used by the ground forces.Two Kassam rockets were fired by Palestinian terrorists in Gaza Monday morning. The rockets landed just short of the northern Gaza border fence, causing no damage. " And what of Hamas, whose headquarters are in Damascus,Syria? " Report: Hamas weighing large-scale conflict with Israel ....Hamas smuggled hundreds of tons of weapons from Egypt into Gaza Strip Aaron Klein, WND Hamas has succeeded in smuggling " hundreds of tons " of weapons from Egypt into the Gaza Strip and is preparing for the possibility of launching a large-scale conflict with Israel... Hamas has smuggled from the Egyptian Sinai desert between several hundred and 1,300 tons of advanced rockets; anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles; rocket propelled grenades; raw explosives; rifles; ammunition; and other heavy weaponry....Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip last year. In a deal brokered in November by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, the Egypt-Gaza border, once controlled by the Jewish state, now is manned by Egyptian and (so-calle) " palestinian " security officials and is observed by European monitors. The monitors reportedly have fled their duty several times the past few months. Israeli security officials have noted multiple breaches in border security, including the transport of terrorists and weapons across the border. They say several key sections of the border are penetrable and that smuggling tunnels that snake under the border are " thriving. " ...since the Jewish state withdrew from Gaza, the (so-called) " palestinians " successfully have transferred hundreds of tons of weapons into the Strip. " If we don't move to counter this smuggling, it will continue and create a situation in Gaza similar to the one in southern Lebanon, " (Yuval Diskin, director of Israel's Shin Bet Security Services, said)referring to Hizbullah's development of large rocket and weapons arsenals in south Lebanon for use against Israel. Hizbullah 'turning Gaza into south Lebanon'... " he is right. We are turning Gaza into south Lebanon, " said Abu Ahmed, northern Gaza leader for the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group. " We learned from Hizbullah's victory that Israel can be defeated if we know how to hit them and if we are well prepared, " Abu Ahmed said. " We are importing rockets and the knowledge to launch them and we are also making many plans for battle. " Abu Abdullah, a leader of Hamas' so-called " military wing " told WND his group is preparing for war against Israel. " In the last 15 months, even though the fighters of Hamas kept the cease-fire, we did not stop making important advancements and professional training on the military level. In the future, after Hamas is obliged to stop the cease-fire, the world shall see our new military capabilities, " said Abu Abdullah, who is considered one of the most important operational members of Hamas' Izzedine al-Qassam Martyrs Brigades, Hamas' declared " resistance " department. Al Aqsa's Abu Ahmed said his group is receiving help from Hizbullah to import long-range rockets and train in guerrilla warfare tactics. " We have warm relations with Hizbullah, which helps with some of the training programs, " Abu Ahmed said. " We don't have anything to be ashamed of - that we are dealing with Hizbullah and that we are receiving training and information from them. " He said Hizbullah maintains cells in the Sinai. " The Sinai is an excellent ground for training, the exchange of information and weapons and for meetings on how to turn every piece of land into usable territory for a confrontation with Israel, " Abu Ahmed said. The terror leader said (so-called) " palestinian " groups are developing war bunkers inside Gaza imilar to the underground Hizbullah lairs Israel found during last month's war in Lebanon. " Our preparations include the building of special bunkers. Of course, we are taking into consideration that Gaza is not the same topography as Lebanon, " Abu Ahmed said. During its confrontation with Hizbullah, Israel destroyed scores of complex bunkers that snaked along the Lebanese side of the Israel-Lebanon border. Military officials said they were surprised by the scale of the Hizbullah bunkers, in which Israeli troops reportedly found war rooms stocked with advanced eavesdropping and surveillance equipment they noted were made by Iran. Abu Ahmed said the most important " tool " in the so-called " palestinian resistance arsenal was rockets. He said his group learned from Hizbullah that Israel can be defeated with missiles. " We saw that with the capacity to bombard the Israeli population with hundreds of rockets every day we can change the strategic balance with Israel, " he said. Since Israel's Gaza withdrawal, so-called " palestinian " terror groups have been regularly firing rockets at nearby Jewish communities. The terrorists generally have fired three versions of Qassam rockets, improvised steel projectiles filled with explosives and fuel. Qassams can travel between one and five miles depending on the sophistication of the particular rocket. Israel has noted improvements in Qassams, including rockets carrying double engines. Israeli security officials say a large number of Katyusha rockets have been brought into Gaza. Katyushas can travel about 12 miles and can deliver large payloads. Hizbullah fired more than 2,800 Katyusha rockets into Israel in July and August, devastating many northern towns. In August, Islamic Jihad fired a Katyusha rocket into the Israeli Negev. It landed in an empty area. In June the group fired a Katyusha-like rocket that traveled about nine miles. " The Katyusha we fired (in August) shows we can have every weapon we need, " said Abu Ahmed. " It is only a matter of a small period before Gaza is ready for war. " James Webb, a.k.a. Jim Webb, Senator Allen's opponent in the November 2006 Election appears to be a man who will say and perhaps do anything to get elected. Here is Webb being quoted : By Todd Jackson on Tuesday August 1st, 2006 " The country, too, should tailor an affirmative action plan that would aid only blacks, Webb said, because that's the only group of people to be systematically held down decade after decade in the U.S. " " On the current situation in the Middle East, Webb said he believes the U.S.must befriend Syria and try to use that country as an ally… " " Webb, sitting in an easy chair in Democrat Warren Campbell's living room,acknowledged that he's got name recognition issues—particularly in Western Virginia—a day after a Mason-Dixon poll revealed that 33 percent of 625 survey respondents statewide don't know who he is. The same poll showed that incumbent Republican Sen. George Allen's name recognition is 97 percent.Moreover, 58 percent say Allen is doing a good or excellent job. Three months from Election Day, Allen leads Webb by 16 percentage points, the poll found.

They had to follow the crops, picked cotton, strawberries . . . there is not a black family in this country that had it rougher than they did. I am still finding out how rough things were. " (Washington Post, 12/8/1985). " Affirmative action, which originally sought to repair the state- induced damage to blacks from slavery and its aftermath, has within one generation brought about a permeating state-sponsored racism that is as odious as the Jim Crow laws it sought to countermand. A Soviet-style bureaucracy of political commissars now monitors every level of our society to ensure that racial and gender " diversity " matches pre-ordained models, using the awesome powers of government to make certain that white males are not " overrepresented " in education, employment or government contracts.

Helderman Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, June 6, 2006; Page B08 RICHMOND -- Democratic Senate candidate James Webb has a childhood memory of relatives living hard lives in southwest Virginia communities with no electricity. That's why when he started studying affirmative action programs as a law student, he came to a question: Why was preferential treatment given on the job to all kinds of ethnic groups that were considered disadvantaged -- Latinos, Asians, blacks, Native Americans -- but not to working-class whites struggling to overcome poverty?

I have included it sparingly where it exists in some of the articles being quoted for the sake of accurately relaying what some of the articles being quoted are saying. Nonetheless I am repelled by the word itself, and by those who would use it against other human beings. I do not believe that Senator Allen ever used it against anyone.

Trooper Larry Patterson, a recently retired 32-year veteran of the state police, had been the most senior member of the elite Governor's Security Detail during the period Bill Clinton served as Governor. During that time, Patterson became privy to Bill and Hillary Clinton's most closely guarded secrets. Patterson told his story exclusively to NewsMax.com and Internet Vortex. NewsMax.com has published More than Sex: The Secrets of Bill and Hillary Clinton Revealed — a two-hour audio cassette tape of Christopher Ruddy's interview with Trooper Larry Patterson. In More than Sex Patterson makes bombshell revelations, some of which have never been disclosed before: Organized Crime. The press has ignored reporting of this critical issue, but Patterson says Clinton had a close relationship with the head of the Dixie Mafia—Arkansas' homegrown organized crime family that has grown in recent years through drug trafficking. Patterson said Clinton regularly received gifts from the reputed mob boss. Ethnic Slurs about Jews. Both Hillary and Bill Clinton frequently used slurs during heated arguments with each other, Patterson said. Among the epithets they frequently hurled at each other were anti-Semitic slurs such as `mother f---in' Jew' or `Jew bastard'. Patterson said such references were heard frequently during the years he served the Clintons. Patterson said Clinton loved telling ethnic jokes and frequently told jokes that were anti-Semitic. The use of the " N " word. Patterson said Bill Clinton would use the word " nigger " — the " N " word — when he was angry with African- American opponents. He recalls the use of the word in describing a black, Arkansas activist who was critical of Clinton. Patterson said Clinton also used the " N " word during the 1992 campaign Hitler and Mein Kampf. Bill Clinton, Patterson said, spoke admiringly of Hitler and was fascinated by his book Mein Kampf. source: http://www.newsmax.com/articles/?a=1999/9/13/220611 In 2004 John Forbes Kerry launched what was seen by many as a pre- emptive strike against the Bush-Cheney re-election campaign by discussing the sexual orientation of Vice President Cheney's daughter. Some years earlier, published reports in a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania newspaper had alleged that Theresa Heinz, who later became Theresa Heinz Kerry, was a lesbian. In light of the vulnerability to charges of racism in the story immediately above one wonders whether history was in a sense repeating itself when the baseless charges of racism against US Senator George Allen of Virginia were aired by the Saddemocrat controlled media.

Under advice from the `Clintonistas`, according to US media reports, the veteran Massachusetts senator`s campaign has clicked into a higher gear just 41 days before Amercians go to the polls on November 2. The Democratic presidential hopeful interrupted his campaigning across Florida on Tuesday to hold a press conference, his first in more than seven weeks, at which he lambasted President George W. Bush`s credibility over Iraq. Kerry last spoke took questions from the press on August 9, despite the growing number of reporters who are following the Democrat around the country. Kerry criticized Bush who has also kept his distance from the press. ...Under the guidance of former Clinton era White House spokesman Joe Lockhart, and other former high-powered `Clintonistas` including James Carville, Paul Begala,... the Democratic candidate has become more combative and less nuanced. Kerry has notably increased his attacks on Bush, concentrating his fire on Bush`s handling of Iraq in clear-cut language. Citing the " chaos " and " colossal errors " in Bush`s decision to go to war against the former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in March 2003, Kerry laid into Bush in a speech on Iraq this week at New York University. According to Michael McCurry, another former Clinton spokesman who has joined the Kerry campaign, the speech was " exactly what you`d expect, many people have said this was a speech that you needed to give. " The Democratic candidate, who has pulled back of late in some polls, has said he always performs better as he approaches the finishing tape in political campaigns. " Tonight I`m going to talk softly, but carry a big stick, the guys have got me in a fighting mood, " Kerry told thousands of supporters at an Orlando rally late Tuesday. " There is a time for everything and it was time for him to take off the gloves, " Kerry`s wife Teresa told a New York audience at a fund- raising dinner for her husband. Kerry has not hidden the fact that Bill Clinton`s seemingly inexhaustable energy might be rubbing off: " He is probably the best observer of American politics, the only Democrat who`s won twice in 50 years or more, he is worth listening to, " Kerry told CBS talk- show host David Letterman earlier this week. Explaining the recent ramping up of his campaign, Kerry said " a campaign grows, a presidential campaign is an enormous undertaking, suddenly you`re building a multimillion dollar corporation. You grow and there are stages in it, we have fabulous people in place, nobody was fired, we just hired more people and brought in more talent, " he added.

The flier was intended for distribution among labor groups. It was titled " Miller the Job Killer, " referring to Webb's opponent for the Democratic nomination in Tuesday's primary, businessman Harris Miller. The flier, drawn in comic-book cartoon style, depicts Miller with a grotesquely hooked nose and cash overflowing from his suit pockets as he orders an underling to find ways to export U.S. jobs overseas. The flier refers to Miller as the " anti-Christ of outsourcing. " Miller called it " despicable.

AMA Massachusetts Chair Tahir Ali said afterwards, " We are attempting to send an important message to all AMA chapters: we must support all who have [Muslim] interests at heart, regardless of what part of the country they are running in. " EMERSON'S TESTIMONY According to Steve Emerson, a well-known investigative journalist specializing in militant Islamic organizations, the AMA's leaders " have sanctioned terrorism, published anti-Semitic statements, and repeatedly hosted conferences that were forums for denunciations of Jews and exhortations to wage jihad. " Faced with pressure on the matter, Mrs. Clinton announced on Oct. 25th that she was returning the $50,000 in campaign contributions raised for her by the AMA. She failed to give a credible explanation as to why it took her more than four months from June 13th until October 25th until she saw it necessary to return the money. Mr. Emerson, in a recent Wall Street Journal article, noted: " As first lady, Mrs. Clinton began in 1996 an outreach program to Muslim leaders in the U.S. With America's Muslim population at some six million and growing, an effort to include the community's leaders in the mainstream of American politics is unquestionably a worthy undertaking. But curiously, nearly all of the leaders with whom Mrs. Clinton elected to meet came from Islamic fundamentalist organizations. A review of the statements, publications and conferences of the groups Mrs. Clinton embraced shows unambiguously that they have long advocated or justified violence. By meeting with these groups, the first lady lent them legitimacy as " mainstream " and " moderate " . " But this should not be unexpected, considering Mrs. Clinton's past radical affiliations. During the 1980's, ultra-liberal lawyer Hillary Rodham- Clinton served on the board of the New World Foundation, which funneled money to the Palestine Liberation Organization, at a time when the PLO was officially recognized by the United States as a terrorist organization. Similarly, in February 1996, Hillary hosted a reception at the White House for leaders of Hamas-supporting groups such as the American Muslim Council and the Council on American-Islamic Relations. And in January, 1998, Hillary hosted another White House reception honoring Muslim leaders and the Muslim Public Affairs Council who defended militant Islamic fundamentalism and also supported radical Islamic groups. THE REAL HILLARY This, then, is the real Hillary Rodham-Clinton. An ambitious woman willing to utter any banal cliche on behalf of " Israel's security " to placate unaware New York Jewish voters, but one whose pre-Senate race record on Israel is appalling. It's a record of supporting the terrorist PLO, even before the 1993 signing of the first Oslo Agreement on the White House lawn, of ignoring blatant calumny heaped on Israel by Suha Arafat, of supporting the creation of a Palestinian PLO State, of hosting and legitimizing extremist Islamic groups in the United States. Most recently, it included taking campaign contributions from these very same evil, anti-Semitic organizations - until being caught with her hand in the extremist Islamic cookie jar. This is the very same Hillary Rodham- Clinton who now claims to be Israel's friend.

" Allen: Webb camp anti-Semitic BY JEFF E. SCHAPIRO TIMES-DISPATCH STAFF WRITER Thursday, September 21, 2006 U.S. Sen. George Allen, R-Va., is accusing challenger Jim Webb of anti-Semitism for spotlighting Allen's newly acknowledged Jewish ancestry on Democratic blogs. " There is a common thread that is running through the Webb campaign, " Allen campaign manager Dick Wadhams said yesterday. " It has a clear anti-Semitic overtone to it. " Webb's press secretary, Kristian Denny dismissed the claim as " slash-and-burn campaign tactics " and a bid to " make George Allen a sympathetic figure by rallying his base against the big, bad media. " The Allen broadside followed the latest complication for his re- election effort: confirming he is part Jewish after angrily ducking a question on his heritage during a debate Monday with Webb. Allen said his maternal grandfather, an Italian jailed in Tunisia by the Nazis, was Jewish. Allen said he learned of his grandfather's religion, in part, after recent discussions with his mother. Allen's mother, Henrietta, " Etty " Allen, told The Washington Post yesterday that she concealed her upbringing as a Jew in North Africa from her children until late August when Allen asked her directly about his Jewish heritage. She said that she and the senator's father, former Redskins coach George Allen, had wanted to protect their children from living with the fear that she had experienced during World War II. Allen's mother, who is 83, said she asked her son not to tell his siblings and his wife. " The fact this is such an issue justifies my actions, and my behavior, " she told the Post. In addition to posts on Democratic blogs focusing on Allen's lineage, Wadhams cited Webb's use of a controversial handbill during the primary campaign as evidence of anti-Semitism. " Anti-Semitic themes run through the Webb campaign, " Wadhams said. " I distinctly make that assertion and that charge. " During the Democratic primary, Webb was criticized for a flier featuring a cartoon likeness of his Jewish opponent, Harris Miller, with a large nose and cash spilling from his pockets. Last night, the Allen campaign issued a statement in which two Jewish Republicans U.S. Rep. Eric I. Cantor of Virginia and U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman of Minnesota—attacked Webb. " Appeals to bigotry fail in Virginia, because Virginians look to a person's integrity and character, " said Cantor. " Jim Webb is failing this test for integrity. " Coleman said, " Former Naval Secretary Webb's campaign is sailing in dirty and dangerous waters when it plays the religious card. The voters of Virginia should sink this vessel and wash away any effort to question Senator Allen's faith or heritage. " Wadhams referred to posts on Democratic blog sites that address Allen's Jewish ancestry, … On several blogs, some friendly to Webb, posts chided Allen for his fierce reply to the question by a Washington television station. Others poked fun at the senator or raised questions about his forthrightness. Some Republican blogs carried posts defending Allen and critical of those who questioned his lineage….

Matthews opened Hardball with an extended segment featuring Patricia Waring, who in 1978 was apparently the wife of the coach of the University of Virginia rugby club team. She claims that, attending one game, she overheard George Allen telling a story in which he repeatedly used the n-word. She says she confronted him about it, asking him not to use the word. Waring acknowledged that she is a registered Democrat and party volunteer. After the Waring interview, Matthews pored over the implications for Allen's political prospects with guests Howard Fineman of Newsweek, Matthew Continetti of the Weekly Standard, MSNBC analyst Craig Crawford and Mike Allen of Time magazine. At the same time, a Washington Post story that Rush Limbaugh discussed today [that only managed to make it into WaPo's `B' section, in contrast with the front-page treatment the Post accorded the Allen allegations] contains some shocking assertions. Dan Cragg describes himself as " a longtime friend of Webb's who worked for him when he was assistant secretary of defense under President Ronald Reagan. " He told the Post that in addition to hearing Webb use the n-word in his presence, Webb told him that when he was a student at USC in Los Angeles : " [Webb and friends] would hop into their cars, and would go down to Watts with these buddies of his, " Cragg said Webb told him. " They would take the rifles down there. They would call them [epithets], point the rifles at them, pull the triggers and then drive off laughing. One night, some guys caught them and beat . . . them. And that was the end of that. " Let's recapitulate: · Story on Allen's alleged use of n-word: first 27 minutes of this evening's Hardball. · Story on Webb's alleged driving through black neighborhood brandishing rifle and hurling racial epithets: not one second.

In a letter to European Commission (EC) vice president Loyola de Palacio, Senator John Rockefeller, a Democrat from West Virginia, said, " If it appears that the European Commission is unfairly blocking mergers between US companies principally to protect the position of European competitors, then the subcommittee will need to re-examine the open market the US has maintained for [aerospace] acquisitions. " In his letter, Senator Rockefeller said the EC's review of the merger " will raise serious concerns among Americans about whether this review has been conducted with fairness and neutrality. " Mr Rockefeller also wrote that US officials will " explore what might be the most effective US response if the fairness and openness we have historically extended to the European aerospace firms is not being reciprocated.

AP: Nancy Reagan objects to campaign ad Democratic Senate candidate Jim Webb has a television ad ready to air featuring praise from his late boss Ronald Reagan — and Nancy Reagan called on him Friday to cancel it. Webb, who was Reagan's Navy secretary before Webb switched to the Democratic Party, uses the ultimate GOP icon to send a sentimental message to conservatives and moderates courted by his opponent, Sen. George Allen (news, bio, voting record). The ad is scheduled to begin airing next week. But a three-paragraph letter from the former first lady's office said the use of footage of Reagan, who died in 2004, is " neither authorized nor appropriate. " In a telephone interview, Edwin Meese, attorney general under Reagan, called use of the footage " improper, unethical and very possibly illegal. … For him to use video of Ronald Reagan to appear in a campaign ad to favor him is fraud.

" I don't believe he was insensitive, " said Paul Ryczek, who played center in Allen's year before joining the Atlanta Falcons. " He had no prejudices, biases or anything else. " In addition to supporting a Democrat through financial contributions, which Salon acknowledges, evidently Shelton didn't tell Salon of his role in starting Tobacco Free For Life. Why that might matter is because Allen opponents have criticized the Senator for being friendly to the tobacco lobby. Senator Allen, (R- VA), has accepted a whopping $33,000 from tobacco political action committees in just the 2005-2006 election cycle. That's more than any other member of congress has taken from the tobacco companies in the past year. Tobacco Free for Life (TFL) is a grass roots volunteer coalition of educators, health care professionals, survivors and victims of tobacco-related illness, and concerned individuals. Our mission is to prevent and reduce underage tobacco use through education, awareness and community efforts on a " cost free " basis to the youth and community of Henderson County. TFL started in 1996 by Dr. Ken Shelton of Hendersonville Radiological Consultants and is currently operating out of an office on the Pardee Hospital campus. Pardee Hospital Foundation acts as TFL's fiscal agent and provides TFL with 501c3 nonprofit status. Interesting that Shelton claims that an Allen Presidential candidacy is what made him so suddenly concerned as to begin writing down recollections several months ago. Exactly how much prodding did his memory require if this was so significant at the time? About four months ago, when he heard that Allen was a possible candidate for president in 2008, Shelton began to write down some of the negative memories of his former teammate. He provided Salon excerpts of those notes last week. With nothing other than anonymous sources to support Shelton's claim and the vast majority of relevant individuals contradicting the story, it might better serve Scherer if he could produce a witness without a possible political motivation…. " SOURCE: http://newsbusters.org/node/7862 Re the item above, a postscript, we are anti-tobacco. We would like to see it banned worldwide. But although we oppose tobacco we can understand that politicians of both parties in tobacco producing states like Virginia are likely to be recipients of donations from industries like tobacco in their states. We wish this were not so. We would love to see BOTH Senator Allen and James Webb, a.k.a. Jim Webb stop using tobacco. But accepting donations from the tobacco industry does not make any politician, in either party, someone who should be lied about and smeared with garbage made up out of whole cloth. To put it bluntly we do not believe Dr.Shelton's allegations against Senator Allen. Do you? " I'm not sure where the real Jim Webb is, … " Why doesn't he just do the manly thing and retract his statement, admit he was wrong, rather than trying to come up with these bizarre explainations? " -VA State Senator Henry Marsh in the Wash Post " He's essentially articulated a positon on affirmative action that almost no one articulates today. " -Prof Robert D. Holsworth, Virginia Commonwealth University in the Wash Post The on again, off again nature of Jim Webb's statements regarding affirmative action have caused a restlessness in the black community.

" " Secretaries of the Navy DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY—NAVAL HISTORICAL CENTER 805 KIDDER BREESE SE—WASHINGTON NAVY YARD WASHINGTON DC 20374-5060 James H. Webb 1 May 1987 - 23 Feb 1988 source: http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq37-1.htm Former Navy Secretary Virginia US Senate Candidate James Webb has been a long time opponent of the liberation of Iraq. When he was Secretary of the Navy he urged that the US attack Saddam's enemy Iran. While we support the liberation of both Iraq and Iran, it is clear that the US tilt towards Iraq and against Iran in the Iran-Iraq war helped to set Iran on its current anti-American path. That tilt was a major mistake. Webb's role in that tilt as Secretary of the Navy during part of the Iran-Iraq war is examined briefly here. Hopefully those who are naive enough to think of former Navy Secretary Webb as a peacemaker will have their eyes opened by this brief look at some of his history. Excerpted from Pages 39-40 of SPIDER'S WEB: THE SECRET HISTORY OF HOW THE WHITE HOUSE ILLEGALLY ARMED IRAQ by Alan Friedman ASIN: 0553096508 " In January 1987, as the " (Iran-Iraq) " war entered its seventh year and the combined death toll neared one million people, Iran began yet another major offensive. This time it pushed deep into Iraqi territory. Saddam Hussein needed help-but he also required reassurance from Washington about its intentions, since revelations in the Iran-Contra scandal were now detailing the U.S. covert military aid that had been going to his enemy, Iran. From Baghdad's point of view, Washington was either ambivalent or duplicitous. Thanks to the rival pro-Iraq and pro-Iran factions inside the government, the United States had indeed sent out very confusing signals. Nonetheless, the secret shipments to Iran paled when compared with the support given Saddam, and William Casey led the drive to placate Iraq. He had already met with Tariq Aziz at the United Nations to make sure Iraq was happy with the flow of intelligence it was receiving, and he encouraged Aziz to go ahead with more attacks on Iranian economic targets. Then netural ships in the Persian Gulf began coming under attack from both Iran and Iraq. Those of oil-rich Kuwait were of particular concern to the administration. Kuwaiti leaders wanted their oil tankers protected by either Moscow of Washington, and in March 1987 top U.S. officials including Caspar Weinberger, George Schultz aand Admiral William Crowe, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, decided to defend Kuwaiti vessels that were navigating the Gulf. Two months later, on May 17th, pro-Iraqi officials such as Weinberger suffered an instant case of political whiplash when a U.S. frigate, the Stark, was attacked by an Iraqi warplane and thirty-seven Americans on board were killed….The Stark incident underscored the increasingly risky state of affairs in the Gulf, and it was followed by a formal announcement from President Reagan that the United States would reflag Kuwaiti oil tankers so that the U.S. Navy could escort them. " You can see photos of the USS Stark in the VICTIMS OF ARAB ATTACKS photo album at KnowTheEnemy/ " May 17 1987, had started out as a routine day in the Persian gulf, we were to soon be on patrol escorting the newly flagged Kuwaiti Oil tankers. Little Did I know that day would change my life forever .we were always thinking of The world and our loved ones back at home, to get this over with do our duty to our country .I had just helped Daniel Homicki, move into my old bunk, and I went on my last watch ,my commitment to the Navy was up. What was supposed to be a good last memory for me went horribly wrong. The excitement of coming home was over shadowed by an Iraqi attack that killed 37 of my shipmates, and wounded many more, I narrowly escaped death myself by being on a SH2 Sea sprite helicopter. " SOURCE: http://groups.msn.com/ussstark/_homepage.msnw?pgmarket=en-us " USS STARK On May 17, 1987, the Oliver Hazard Perry class frigate, USS Stark (FFG 31) was hit by two Exocet anti-ship cruise missiles fired by an Iraqi F-1 Mirage fighter aircraft while operating in the central Persian Gulf. The explosion of the first missile caused extensive structural damage and flooding. Combustion of the burning propellant of both missiles immediately caused intense fires to build throughout the ship. There were 37 deaths and 5 injuries reported as a result of the attack. http://www.dcfp.navy.mil/mc/museum/STARK/STARK.htm " THE STARK INCIDENT When the USS Stark (FFG-31) took a hit from a pair of Exocet missiles in the Persian Gulf in 1987, its port side fire mains ruptured and its precious supply of A-FFF Foam, which quickly extinguishes Class B oil fires, became unavailable. Additionally, the ship's damage control and fire fighting inventory did not include many of the important fire fighting and life saving equipment that ordinary fire fighters ashore use every day. The Stark incident killed 37 sailors, injured 21 others and caused $142 million in damage to the ship. The terrorist attack on the USS Cole in 2000 caused similar damage to the port side fire mains… Missile attack on the Stark ruptured port side fire mains, inhibiting the crew's ability to fight the onboard fire " source: http://www.marinelog.com/DOCS/PRINTMMIII/MMIIIDecIRA1.html " USS Stark should be remembered Submitted by Jagfly, Apr 7, 2006 Hi, I just wanted to say it is a sad thing that you don't hear much of this attack. I have often brought it up to people and no one remembers. My brother was on the USS Stark and he was one of the survivors. All men and women who serve our country in the name of " freedom " and die doing it should forever be remembered, as it has been with WW1 etc. God bless all who serve our country. " source: http://www.danielpipes.org/comments/42677 " On October 12th, 2000 terrorists in a boat laden with explosives carried out a suicide bombing of the U.S.S. Cole in the harbor at Aden, Yemen. In what President Clinton described as a " despicable and cowardly act, " 17 U.S. sailors were killed, and over 30 others were wounded. " " Iraq has the motivation and the means to actively support the Islamist networks of the region*** In the past, there have been intelligence reports of possible cooperation between Iraq and Osama bin Laden. Iraq has already tried to assassinate President Bush Senior in 1993, when he visited Kuwait as a private citizen. In the attack on the USS Cole in Aden (in) October (of 2000), there could have been an Iraqi connection. Iraq has excellent relations with the anti-Western Yemeni Islamists of the Army of Aden-Abyan, whose militants have been arrested by the Yemenite authorities in connection with the attack. Such an attack required long preparations, technical and military skills and good operational intelligence. In addition, the explosive used in the attack was sophisticated, a " shaped charge " like a torpedo or a missile, a device not in use by terrorist organizations, and which may have come from a military stockpile.

Webb " (told) " a group of newspaper editors and reporters that he believed the United States should respond to Iranian hostilities with strikes that would prevent further aggression rather than hitting small military targets. The United States recently had destroyed Iranian oil platforms used for communications and launching small boats. " " Iraq Gives Ultimatum to Syria, Iran BY ELI LAKE - Staff Reporter of the Sun September 28, 2006 URL: http://www.nysun.com/article/40572 WASHINGTON — Iraq's president is issuing an ultimatum to his neighbors: Stop meddling in my country or we will meddle in yours. In public interviews and speeches during a recent visit here, Jalal Talabani's remarks became sharper toward Iran, Syria.... On September 26, he told National Public Radio that if interference from Iraq's neighbors continues, the " Iraqi people will support the opposition of other countries and try to make troubles for them as they have for us. " The threat, which was repeated yesterday on the U.S.-funded al-Hurra Arabic-language satellite network, marked the first time a top Iraqi politician has explicitly laid out what will happen if the stream of improvised explosives, insurgents, and funding for terrorists in Iraq does not end. " And of course it will not end as long as the Baathist regime is in power in Damascus, Syria it will seek to return Iraq to Baathist rule, albeit this time controlled by Syrian Baathists. The lessons learned in the Vietnam war, that we cannot permit an adversary to launch and support attacks from nearby safe havens should not be lost on anyone. The Vietnam war was lost because America failed to liberate North Vietnam. The Iraq war will be lost if America fails to liberate BOTH Syria and so-called " Iran " , a.k.a. Persia. The horrific thought of Vice President James Webb, a.k.a. Jim Webb, a heartbeat from the Presidency under President Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2009, and Webb's grand design of allying the US with Syria, should send a chill into the heart of every patriotic American.
