^obviously with that dude running as Nader’s VP, he’s not gonna be “objective” but uh, Nader is way better than Fall and Obama.
What a big waste of time presidential selections are, no?
The monsters never stop.
And the muslims everywhere are suffering from subversive, sellout puppets. Abbas is no different, this despicable goon is working for them
Palestinians woke up early Thursday on what it seemed to be their regular alarm, the sound of Israeli rockets and raids. And instead of bidding farewell to nine martyrs, now they have to mourn 28, including eight children.
Israeli occupation security forces struck a range of targets in the West Bank and Gaza Strip on Thursday, killing a total of 15 Palestinians, including four children. The deaths come a day after the occupation army martyred 13 Palestinians. Early Thursday evening, an Israel Air Force helicopter attacked a police roadblock near the Gaza City home of Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, in which Palestinian officials said one person was martyred and four others wounded.
Four children - all under the age of 16 and three from the same family - were martyred in an IAF strike in Jabalya, a refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip. Another IAF attack in northern Gaza a short while later martyred a Hamas resistance fighter. Earlier, IAF aircraft struck northern Gaza, killing another Hamas member and one other person.
On Thursday morning, three resistance fighters were martyred in an Israeli strike in the Gaza neighborhood of Sajaiya. Two of the men martyred belonged to the Popular Resistance Committees’ military wing and the third was a Hamas fighter. Palestinian sources reported that another fighter was wounded in the strike.
In the Gaza City neighborhood of Zeitoun, an IAF strike martyred two Hamas members, including son of senior Hamas lawmaker, Khalil al-Haya. The group said he had commanded a rocket-launching squad in northern Gaza. Al-Haya is one of Hamas’ top figures in Gaza, and has escaped assassination attempts, including an IAF strike that killed his brother last year.
Visiting the morgue at Gaza City’s Shifa hospital Thursday, Khalil al-Haya said he was proud that his son had lost his life for the Hamas cause, like many of his relatives. “I thank God for this gift, he said. This is the 10th member of my family to receive the honor of martyrdom.”
Two other Palestinian resistance fighters were martyred by the occupation army during an operation in the West Bank town of Nablus, local sources reported. One of the martyrs belonged to the Popular Front’s armed wing – the Abu Mustafa Brigades, and the other was a member of Fatah’s military wing, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades. Six other Palestinians were injured in the attack.
Moreover, overnight Israeli aircraft struck the empty office of Haniyeh and nearby premises of his Interior Ministry, killing a 6-month old baby and wounding more than 30 other people. Earlier on Wednesday, three Palestinian children were killed in an Israeli strike in the northern Gaza Strip. The children were aged 10, 12, and 14. Occupation army also killed nine Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank; five of the martyrs belonged to Hamas military wing.
Hamas retaliated for the Israeli crimes by launching more 50 Qassam rockets in 24 hours into the western Negev town of Sderot and the surrounding communities killing one Israeli settler and wounding several others. Many settlers were treated for shock.
One of the wounded was an officer belonging to Israeli Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter’s protection detail. The security officer was at the place for preliminary scouting of the area in preparation for the minister’s visit.
ABBAS: ARMED ‘RESISTANCE’ NOT RULED OUT
On Thursday, PA President Mahmoud Abbas said that he does not rule out returning to the path of armed “resistance” against Israel and took pride in the fact that he had been the first to fire on Israel in 1965. In an interview with the Jordanian daily al-Dustur, Abbas said that he was opposed to an armed struggle against Israel - for the time being. “At this present juncture, I am opposed to the armed struggle because we can’t succeed in it, but maybe in the future things will be different,” he said.
Probably not.
Even if I am, Nader is still WEIGH better.
you know it’s POSSIBLE obama hasn’t been fully corrupted by washington and is toeing the line to get elected…
but he did vote to fund a war he didn’t support EVERY TIME
here’s an interesting take
although i never trusted this guy Raimando either
i tossed obama a heartfelt prayer regardless, we can all hope he’s gonna pull a kennedy so if that’s the case, may allah be his protector…

the part that stuck out to me which i did NOT know about was this:
The Clintons are desperately trying to spin this away, with President Priapus denouncing Obama’s antiwar record as “a fairy tale” and The New Republic rather more subtly suggesting “Obama himself may understand that the issue is more complicated than his condemnations of Hillary Clinton’s judgment.” That’s the last line of a rather curious piece by Michael Crowley, whose microscopic examination of Obama’s public pronouncements on the war question might have been published by Antiwar.com – except for that last line.It is a piece that starts out by chronicling Obama’s memorable performance at a 2002 antiwar rally in Chicago – when very few mainstream politicians were showing up at antiwar events – and charts his subsequent equivocations, wobbles, and doubts, slyly implying that he’s not really all that far away from being a calculating Clintonian himself. Crowly cites the Clintonites’ contention that the liberal district he hailed from in Chicago meant he wasn’t really going out on a limb in opposing the war early on, an argument that makes no sense when one remembers he was getting ready to run for US Senate. Statewide, support for the war, while not as fervent as in some other regions of the country, was generally reflective of the post-9/11 hysteria that made warmongering such a lucrative profession for so many. As Thomas B. Edsall pointed out in the Huffington Post:
“Among all Illinois voters, 17 percent said the U.S. should attack Iraq with or without allied support, 51 percent said an attack should be initiated only with the backing of allies, and 18 percent said the U.S. should not attack at all. Among Democrats, only 8 percent backed a unilateral invasion of Iraq, 59 percent said the US should attack only with broad allied support and 23 percent opposed any military action.”
People wanted more evidence that an attack was necessary – 52 percent – but, in general, the good people of Illinois went along with the national zeitgeist, which was all about “taking out” Saddam Hussein and showing those Ay-rabs who’s in charge. After all, a mere 23 percent opposed going to war at all, and that’s where Obama was. The only reason he avoided paying the political price was due to extraordinary luck: his principal opponent in the Democratic primary was hit with a major scandal and effectively knocked out of the race. The same fate befell his putative Republican opponent – and the eventual GOP nominee, Alan Keyes, was never a credible opponent to begin with.
So, yes, it took courage to come out against the war at that point. Remember, the post-9/11 Bizarro Effect still had most of the country in its hallucinatory grip, and the War Party and the “mainstream” media were collaborating on a propaganda campaign of unprecedented ferocity, broadcasting brazen lies as if they were fact and trying to bully anyone who defied them, e.g. Democrats Mike Thompson, Jim McDermott and David Bonior.
Yet there was more than courage on display at that rally. There was also Obama’s prescience. It’s odd that Crowley opens his piece with the scene from that rally, but somehow neglects to report what Obama said:
“What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war. What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz and other armchair, weekend warriors in this administration to shove their own ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the costs in lives lost and in hardships borne….
“I suffer no illusions about Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal man. A ruthless man. A man who butchers his own people to secure his own power. He has repeatedly defied UN resolutions, thwarted UN inspection teams, developed chemical and biological weapons, and coveted nuclear capacity. He’s a bad guy. The world, and the Iraqi people, would be better off without him.
“But I also know that Saddam poses no imminent and direct threat to the United States, or to his neighbors, that the Iraqi economy is in shambles, that the Iraqi military a fraction of its former strength, and that in concert with the international community he can be contained until, in the way of all petty dictators, he falls away into the dustbin of history. I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a US occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences. I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of al-Qaeda. I am not opposed to all wars. I’m opposed to dumb wars.” (Obama, 2002)
With most of the rest of the country swept up in an emotional rush of belligerence-in-search-of-a-target, Obama kept his cool and clearly perceived the facts as most of us would later come to see them. This is called judgement – another name for it is leadership.
That’s why he’s winning, beating Hillary and her much-vaunted “machine,” and why the Clintonites have half-unveiled their ultimate weapon: the dreaded “super-delegates,” primed to snatch the nomination away from Obama and his majority of pledged (i.e. elected) delegates at the last moment. Furthermore, he looks, acts, and sounds like a president, whereas Hillary merely reminds one of a high school class president (and Edwards the prom king).
he’s apparently scarin some hardcore pro-war Yahudis.

I’m not gonna “support” someone who will bend over backward for ashkeNAZIs but I will say that there is an outside chance he hasn’t been sufficiently blackmailed and he’s just toeing the line. I don’t wanna hold optimism in the process though, as I’ve thought myself that Clinton was the choice long ago.
we’ll see what happens…
The rapid spread of factual information is the only true solution at this point other than Allah
I got side tracked with dumb stuff this month, I meant to post more stuff on “black” history but there’s no reason why that should be limited to Feb so expect more and more on the subject as I come across it or re-familiarize myself with it.
Peace
what a pathetic fool.
i mean tool.
yea, just bend over and take it from the folks that enslaved your people in the Americas.
Can anyone say, “shirk”
you can’t upset God’s chosen people or ELSE!
UNCLE OTOMA™
^don’t steal that, I made it.
In case you missed it bro. Cornell broke it down for us:
If you wanna vote for someone “different”, vote for CYNTHIA MCKINNEY whose testicular fortitude far exceeds that of the Uncle “Hopeful Change” Otoma. She actually gotten things accomplished which is why the zionist lobby funded her opposition, another worshipper of all things kosher, Hank Johnson, and maligned her in the media
