New York Post’s President Obama ‘Shameless’ Cover - KA-BULL!

Sorry… But I just couldn’t help myself!
Wednesday, May 02, 2012
We also find the following video on the New York Post Website today:
Triple explosions rock Kabul after Obama visit
About Video: An Afghan police official said three explosions went off early on Wednesday in the eastern part of the capital Kabul. The blasts were followed by sporadic shooting. The government said six people had been killed. The blasts took place hours after President Barack Obama ended a quick visit to Afghanistan.

Like my three main men in the Senate… John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman… I too believe it is always a good thing when the President of the United States goes overseas and spends some time with the troops. BUT… What President Obama did yesterday was nothing more than a political stunt and as the above article says… “SHAMELESS”!!!

Iran Says They Have Shot Down A US Stealth Drone

Tehran Claims They Shot Down With "Little Damage" An RQ-170 Surveillance Drone
Monday, December 5, 2011
U.S. RQ-170 Sentinel Drone - Original illustration by Truthdowser – Found on Wikipedia.org website
.
* Fox News brings us the following report that starts off like this… Iran is in possession of a RQ-170 Sentinel drone that went missing over the Islamic Republic, U.S. military sources told Fox News on Monday… The Sentinel is the same kind of stealth high tech drone that was used to monitor the compound during the raid that killed Usama bin Laden in Pakistan, the sources said… The sources confirmed the Iranians have the drone, however, they did not say that the Iranians shot down the spy plane, as was reported by Iran's official IRNA news agency…
Read the full report at link below…
.
* The Telegraph has this take on the missing US Drone news... Tehran claims to have brought down with "little damage" an RQ-170 surveillance drone, considered one of the most secret aircraft in the world, flying inside eastern Iran… The seizure of the unarmed surveillance drone intact would give access to a treasure trove of classified information including the designs of the aircraft and its payload of sensors… However it was unlikely the drone had escaped a crash or being shot down without significant damage and its sensitive technology was probably rigged with self-destruct mechanisms, experts added… Suspicion surrounds the claims because Iran has yet to release any footage of the captured drone or its wreckage… NATO forces confirmed a drone went missing in Afghanistan near the Iranian border last week, though would not say what kind it was…

* BBC brings us the following report, with short news video and it starts off like this… Iranian TV has shown the first video footage of an advanced US drone aircraft that Tehran says it downed near the Afghan border… Images show Iranian military officials inspecting the RQ-170 Sentinel stealth aircraft which appears to be undamaged… US officials have acknowledged the loss of the unmanned plane, saying it had malfunctioned.. However, Iranian officials say its forces electronically hijacked the drone and steered it to the ground…

2- Israeli Lead Up Report to Pre-Emptive Attack on Iran - December 02, 2011 - Updated: 12-04-11

#2- Israeli Lead Up Report to Pre-Emptive Attack on Iran
More Mysterious Blasts, Computer Viruses, Assassinations Disrupt Iran’s Nuclear Program… Speculation of Israeli Involvement
Friday, December 02, 2011

..
* The Washington Post had the following AP report Thursday evening and it goes in part like this… “Israel is a sovereign state and it is the government of Israel, the Israeli army and security forces who are responsible for Israel’s security, future and survival,” he said… Mysterious blasts, computer viruses and assassinations have disrupted Iran’s nuclear program, and there has been speculation of Israeli involvement… Barak would not comment on that possibility, but said, “We are not happy to see the Iranians move ahead on this (program), so any delay, be it divine intervention or otherwise, is welcome.”…

.
* Here’s an interesting read at JPost.com I ran across late this Friday morning and it starts off like this… BERLIN – Iran plans to attack US armed forces stationed in Germany in the event of a US attack on its nuclear facilities, the mass-circulation Bild daily reported on Thursday… Authorities are investigating a German businessman suspected of espionage with intent to commit sabotage who they believe is in contact with the Iranian Embassy, according to the report… Read this report in full at link below…
'Iran planning attacks on US forces in Germany'
.
* The Australian has this report posted-up on their website today and it starts off like this… The second blast in as many weeks at an atomic or missile facility has sparked Iranian denials and claims of accidents, but a new phase in efforts to destroy its nuclear ambitions is said to be under way… "Instead of overt action you have covert action. This is the new battlefront -- this is a new kind of war," an Israeli defence official said… The Israeli Defence Minister, in a radio interview yesterday, did little to dampen speculation that it had a role in the blast at Isfahan, located in central Iran, and an explosion at a missile base west of Tehran…

.
* Not to be left out… FoxNews.com had the following AP report posted-up on their website early Thursday evening and it starts off like this… Ignoring a presidential veto threat, the Democratic-controlled Senate on Thursday overwhelmingly approved a massive, $662 billion defense bill that would require the military to hold suspected terrorists linked to Al Qaeda or its affiliates, even those captured on U.S. soil… The vote was 93-7 for the bill authorizing money for military personnel, weapons systems, national security programs in the Energy Department, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in the fiscal year that began Oct. 1… Reflecting a period of austerity and a winding down of decade-old conflicts, the bill is $27 billion less than what President Barack Obama requested and $43 billion less than what Congress gave the Pentagon this year… Shortly before final passage, the Senate unanimously backed crippling sanctions on Iran as fears about Tehran developing a nuclear weapon outweighed concerns about driving up oil prices that would hit economically strapped Americans at the gas pump... The vote was 100-0…

POST UPDATE:
Sunday, December 04, 2011
.
* I ran across this article on The Telegraph website early this Sunday morning stateside and it starts off like this… His is not a face familiar to many in the West. But members of the rampaging Iranian mob which last week laid siege to the British Embassy in Tehran knew exactly what they were doing when they held aloft a picture of a grey-haired man, with downturned mouth and his beard more neatly trimmed than those of his country's religious leaders… Qassem Suleimani, a fanatical Islamic revolutionary, has rapidly become one of the world's top terrorist suspects, as well as a powerful and sinister force within Iran… The crowd of enraged student protesters who chanted "Death to Britain" as they terrorised a beleaguered group of British diplomats, know him as the head of Iran's feared Quds Force, the 15,000-strong paramilitary wing of Iran's Revolutionary Guards - and a primary suspect for organising the assault on the embassy… There were frightening moments at the height of the violence on Tuesday afternoon when it appeared that a rerun might be on the cards of the American embassy siege in 1979, when 50 American diplomatic staff were held hostage for 444 days…

* WeeklyStandard.com had the following interesting read posted on their website early Saturday and it starts off like this… In a little noticed ruling on Monday, November 28, a Washington, D.C. district court found that both Iran and Sudan were culpable for al Qaeda’s 1998 embassy bombings

…………….……..
As I’ve said in past post…
 “It’s not if Iran is attacked… It’s WHEN!”
.
With the way the events are unfolding of late… it’s now looking like the WORLD has finally come on board, in full. The world has FINALLY woke up if I may… and after this embassy mess in Iran a few days back… they all seem to have gotten downright mad with Iran’s overall behavior on… EVERYTHING!
.
We can now only pray that the burden of taking down Iran’s Nuclear Program will not be left ONLY to our Israeli friends.
.
I’m slowly but surely beginning to believe that this burden will not be on the Israeli’s along. Time will tell… and sadly there isn’t much of that left.

Again… “It’s not if Iran is attacked… It’s WHEN!”

All in all I’d say General McChrystal screwed up big time in many ways and President Obama handled this situation VERY well and above the fray. General Petraeus is the right man for the right job too!

Message from the President to the CIA Workforce
.
Earlier this morning, the President sent this message to the CIA workforce in relation to yesterday’s attack in Khost Province, Afghanistan:
.
To the men and women of the CIA:
.
I write to mark a sad occasion in the history of the CIA and our country. Yesterday, seven Americans in Afghanistan gave their lives in service to their country. Michelle and I have their families, friends and colleagues in our thoughts and prayers.
.
These brave Americans were part of a long line of patriots who have made great sacrifices for their fellow citizens, and for our way of life. The United States would not be able to maintain the freedom and security that we cherish without decades of service from the dedicated men and women of the CIA. You have helped us understand the world as it is, and taken great risks to protect our country. You have served in the shadows, and your sacrifices have sometimes been unknown to your fellow citizens, your friends, and even your families.
.
In recent years, the CIA has been tested as never before. Since our country was attacked on September 11, 2001, you have served on the frontlines in directly confronting the dangers of the 21st century. Because of your service, plots have been disrupted, American lives have been saved, and our Allies and partners have been more secure. Your triumphs and even your names may be unknown to your fellow Americans, but your service is deeply appreciated. Indeed, I know firsthand the excellent quality of your work because I rely on it every day.
.
The men and women who gave their lives in Afghanistan did their duty with courage, honor and excellence, and we must draw strength from the example of their sacrifice. They will take their place on the Memorial Wall at Langley alongside so many other heroes who gave their lives on behalf of their country. And they will live on in the hearts of those who loved them, and in the freedom that they gave their lives to defend.
.
May God bless the memory of those we lost, and may God bless the United States of America.
.
President Barack Obama

* The Wall Street Journal has this terrible report out of Afghanistan today and it starts off like this... Seven Central Intelligence Agency officers were killed and six more wounded in a suicide bomb attack in Afghanistan, the CIA Director Leon Panetta said Thursday, the largest single-day loss for the spy agency since the Beirut embassy bombing in 1983... The attack Wednesday killed at least eight American civilians at Forward Operating Base Chapman, a U.S. compound in the Afghan province of Khost near the Pakistani border that has been a base of operations for the CIA... "Those who fell yesterday were far from home and close to the enemy, doing the hard work that must be done to protect our country from terrorism," Mr. Panetta said in a message to agency employees. "We owe them our deepest gratitude, and we pledge to them and their families that we will never cease fighting for the cause to which they dedicated their lives -- a safer America."...

CIA Officers Are Killed in Afghan Attack

* Guardian.co.uk reports it this way...
The Taliban claimed responsibility for an attack on a US military outpost that killed seven CIA operatives and wounded six others on Wednesday, in a strike that illustrates the insurgents' growing reach and military capability... Former CIA officers said the dead agents were part of a paramilitary unit, likely involved in recruiting and training local Afghans in security roles and carrying out military operations against Taliban and al-Qaida militants along the Pakistan border... The attack took place at a military outpost about a dozen miles from the federally administered tribal areas of Pakistan, a Taliban stronghold...

* Telegraph.co.uk has this report late this Thursday afternoon... The suicide bomber who killed seven CIA employees at a remote base in south-eastern Afghanistan was being courted as an informant and had been invited onto the base, according to a report... The bombing, which came as President Barack Obama's surge is gathering pace, represented the biggest loss of life suffered by the US intelligence agency since an attack in Beirut in 1983. The CIA said on Thursday a further six agents had been injured in the attack... On Thursday night it was reported that the bomber had been invited onto the base and had not been searched... A former senior intelligence official told the Associated Press that the man was being courted as an informant and that it was the first time he had been brought inside the camp...

Iran: On Ground Updates
A government that can only stay in power by shooting its own people in the streets and blocking their communication with the outside world is in serious trouble...
Tuesday, December 29, 2009
. Iran Map by DoD-CENTCOM
.
* The bloody events of recent days in Iran have demonstrated the repressive nature of the regime and the deep discontent surfacing in a country denied democratic freedoms. A government that can only stay in power by shooting its own people in the streets and blocking their communication with the outside world is in serious trouble...
Read William Hague’s full article at the Telegraph.co.uk website at link below...
There is still time to foil Iran's bomb plot
.
* Our friends at the Debka.com website had the following good read posted up on their website on the 28th... Iranian sources reveal that Mir Hossein Mousavi's nephew, Ali Habib, was not shot dead during a Tehran demonstration Sunday, Dec. 27, as reported, but waylaid and gunned down as he left his home. Fresh riots followed the disappearance of the body from the hospital Monday. The episode became even more ominous when Iran's security services Chief Gen. Radan accused Mousavi of the murder to incite further violence. The opposition fears that the murder of Mousavi's nephew augurs physical liquidations of its leaders... The current upsurge of violence across Iran is the most dangerous yet because for the first time demonstrators are turning round to attack security forces, the Revolutionary Guardsmen and Basijj paramilitaries...

Iran reels toward popular counter-revolution

Well... The above point a view by William Hague at the Telegraph.co.uk website pretty much sums the events up over the last so many days in Iran! Sadly... sanctions are a year or two too late and I believe only military action by Israel will bring this mess to a halt... and for at least 3 to 5 years.
.
Only then will we AGAIN... have the breathing room to give the Iranian people a chance to make a Regime Change within their government... One that the west and the rest of the world can live with.
.
Bottom line is there is a time when blood must be shed... Look at what is going on in the streets of Iran over the last so many days... The people of Iran have made their minds up and the time for CHANGE is NOW!

Light ‘em up, Israel!!!
