Abdul Baset Ali al-Megrahi lives long and prospers

When that Libyan terrorist who blew up the PanAm flight over Lockerbie, Abdul Baset Ali al-Megrahi, was released by Scotland on August 20, 2009, was it not because he had less than 3 months to live?

The 270 murdered innocents had no such luxury of dying at home with their loved ones, merely moments of abject terror as they were blown from the sky and fell to earth from five miles high. He is an unrepentant terrorist, who failed to divulge full knowledge of his heinous act in order to protect the Libyan government. To cap it all, the Libyan dictator, Colonel Gadaffi, sent his luxury private jet to pick up this murderer and then threw him a party. Kenny MacAskill should henceforth be known as the Scottish Injustice Secretary.

Well, it is now nearly 4 months on. When is he going to die? Does he have to go back to Scotland now? You just can’t trust terrorists to live up to their promises.

Broken Britain #2

Several stories have defined the demise of Britain in the past week. Two men were jailed for defending their family against masked intruders who had threatened the lives of the family. This was accompanied by the story of a 30 year old single mother of 8 children who refuses to work, because her earnings would only repay the welfare funds she has leached from taxpayers. Meanwhile, she and her brood are housed in a 2.5 million pound mansion. Yet, she is not alone, as similar social welfare abuse occurs throughout the whole country.

We also had further evidence of the crumbling of the morality of the UK. The British judicial system was usurped by terrorist enablers and an arrest warrant was issued versus the erstwhile Foreign Minister of Israel, because Israel finally responded to 8 years of missile attacks on its civilians by a terrorist theocracy, even though, as Colonel Richard Kemp said, no “army has made more efforts to reduce civilian casualties and deaths of innocent people than the IDF … in Gaza”. Meanwhile, wannabe terrorists were caught scouting out locations for attack in London. Obviously, siding with terrorists does not exempt one from their aim, it just demonstrates moral deficiency.

Why Iran should not have nukes

Why shouldn't Iran have nukes seems to be a question being asked by NGOs today? Is nuclear technology not a given right of every society?

Actually, that's not a hard question to answer and I pose a few questions in response.

Why should democratic societies be opposed to a theocratic jihadi supporting tyranny whose leaders ascribe to a doomsday ideology in order to bring about the return of a long dead prophet? Clearly, even with its huge oil reserves, the death loving muftis of Iran that comprise their leaders must only want nukes for peaceful purposes.
Surely, it has never crossed their minds to develop nuclear weapons and stick them on the end of their missiles, or hand them out to terrorist groups for plausible deniability?
By the way, although those missiles are now pointed at Israel, they are going to be pointed at Europe and the USA after the first launches.

The unqualified

I found it amusing that the media continue to throw fits about the qualifications of Sarah Palin whilst she is promoting her book. Well, if she is unqualified, then Obama is even less qualified. His only experience of anything is promoting his political career, and he is in the #1 spot.

The choice of Palin was not to appeal to liberals , or to the media, it was to solidify the support from regular families in middle America for John McCain. Given the Bush factor overshadowing the election, McCain gambled and it failed.

The true farce is that the leader of the free world is a man with no experience of anything other than self promotion, who was lobbied for incessantly by the media. Could the Democrats really not come up with someone better than Jiminy Carter Mark II? Don't they remember how bad the first one was? We are still suffering today from that deluded administration.

Experience and qualifications do give pointers as to the candidates' ultimate actions. But the best indicators are actually their friends and the stated policies. That's what we should vote on.

Sorry Saab Partitioners

The EU under Swedish leadership has demanded the partition of Jerusalem into Jewish and Arab zones. On the same basis, perhaps the French and Dutch would like to return Paris and Amsterdam to German control. After all, Germany conquered those entire cities, amongst many others, in the. 1940's. Although Germany did not make either its capital city, they were important to them as symbols of conquest and power. Perhaps half of Washington, DC should be returned to the UK, they even speak similar languages and it would be a nice conciliatory gesture on July 4. Russia may also be interested in some of the more alluring suburbs of the Ukrainian capital, Kiev.

In the same way, Jerusalem has never been designated as a capital of an Arab or Islamic country throughout history. There has been a Jewish connection to Jerusalem extending over 3,000 years, and whenever there was a Jewish state, Jerusalem was its capital city. There are no moral or legal grounds to rip asunder the capital of a democracy in order to achieve a political expediency to help establish what would undoubtably be a totalitarian theocracy. We have been bombarded with the phrase, "Arab East Jerusalem" as justification for this heinous act. However, the reduced Jewish presence in certain neighbourhoods is due only to the ethnic cleansing of Jews in 1948 and the destruction of 68 sysnagogues and their communities by the invading Arab Legion of Jordan.

It was the capital of a Jewish state before Sweden, Great Britain or France were ever conceived of, never mind the recent artificial creations of Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Jordan.

As for Sweden, a country that makes as terrible a car as a Saab, it should not be trusted to be doing anyone any good.

Prayers with Jamie Carragher

Jamie Carrager has been praying for Liverpoo's 2010 season to turn around.

I am afraid that his prayers will be in vain. The Lord is a little busy at the moment dealing with global warming, Iran’s nuclear weapons, X Factor #1 for Xmas, etc. to worry about the lack of footballing prowess on Miseryside. In any event, we all know who the Lord supports and even though He wears a red and white scarf, it is not Liverpoo.

Introducing The Great Appeaser - Mr. Obama

December 1, 2009 will be remembered as a day of celebration for terrorists everywhere. They have won in Afghanistan. As foretold by the conduct and content of Obama’s presidential campaign and tenure, he has surrendered to terrorism and given the Taliban and their ilk a great victory by issuing NATO's surrender. The Great Appeaser has shown that he will even betray defence of his own democracy. He has already back-stabbed the democratic defenders in Honduras, the Czech Republic, Poland, Israel, China, Iran so it was only a matter of time before he crumbled for the US.

It is militarily indefensible to state a retreat date to an enemy, whether a war is over or not. The Taliban will just hold on now until 2011 and promise violence at that time upon any who deal with NATO forces in the intervening period. What a waste of effort in a war that has not been fought as a war, merely a competition for hearts and minds of tribal warlords. The Taliban have given up nothing and they have forced the US and NATO to depart from Afghanistan without waging the real war that needed to be fought. The short term surge is merely to cover the retreat.

The Great Appeaser is competing with Jimmy Carter for the position of being the best friend that terrorists have ever had in the White House.
