North Korea announced Friday that all agreements between it and South Korea had become "dead documents" in an apparent bid to refocus Seoul and Washington's attention on Pyongyang.The Associated Press reports that on Friday, Pyongyang accused South Korean President Lee Myung Bak of worsening relations between the two Koreas by adopting a hard-line position against the North.[The North's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea] warned that Lee's stance would only draw "a heavier blow and shameful destruction."
US President Barack Obama's offer to talk to Iran shows that America's policy of "domination" has failed, the government spokesman said on Saturday. "This request means Western ideology has become passive, that capitalist thought and the system of domination have failed," Gholam Hossein Elham was quoted as saying by the Mehr news agency."Negotiation is secondary, the main issue is that there is no way but for (the United States) to change," he added. After nearly three decades of severed ties, Obama said shortly after taking office this month that he is willing to extend a diplomatic hand to Tehran if the Islamic republic is ready to "unclench its fist". In response, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad launched a fresh tirade against the United States, demanding an apology for its "crimes" against Iran and saying he expected "deep and fundamental" change from Obama.
HAVANA — Fidel Castro on Thursday threw his first punch at President Obama after several weeks of praise for the new leader, demanding the U.S. return Guantanamo Bay military base to Cuba and criticizing the U.S. defense of Israel.
CAMPO CARABOBO, Venezuela (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Saturday Barack Obama had the "stench" of his predecessor as U.S. president and was at risk of being killed if he tries to change the American "empire."
THE Taliban called on US President Barack Obama to close all "evil" US detention centres for militants, "completely withdraw" from Iraq and Afghanistan and "stop defending Israel". The message, a copy of which was obtained from the SITE Intelligence Group, called on Mr Obama to take these steps to reverse the "satanic policies" of his predecessor, George W Bush. "Obama's move to close Guantanamo detention centre is a positive step for peace and stability in the region and the world," said the message, which was posted on online jihadist forums. "If Barack Obama sincerely wants real stability and peace in the world, he should not only close Guantanamo."Rather, he should void all those evil projects established in the light of Bush's satanic perspective of instability in the world."
Just how much more of this "respect" can we take?You wonder: How did Obama and his lunkheads not understand this was what was coming with his telegraphed soft stance on terrorists and our other enemies? Intentional ignorance and willfull stupidity?
They hate Bush, first and foremost. Bush MUST be evil so anyone with whom Bush counts and an adversary or potential adversary MUST be good/misunderstood/oppressed.
You got off your ass, now get your wife off her back.
Silly you....................Do you not remember Joe "Plugs " Biden stating during the campaign that the USA would be tested within six months and that the majority of Americans wouldn't agree with their response?? Well I believe they are setting the stage for their response
Russia rattles sabres in Obama’s directionBy Quentin Peel Published: February 6 2009 17:20 | Last updated: February 6 2009 17:20Russia may face a grim economic downturn but one would scarcely think so to judge by the sound of sabre-rattling emerging from the Kremlin. Unless, of course, it is intended as a domestic distraction from the gathering gloom.The double-act of Dmitry Medvedev and Vladimir Putin has come up with a series of security initiatives that seem designed to provoke, or at least irritate, the new administration in Washington. Without even waiting to hear how President Barack Obama intends to conduct his relations with Moscow – something that Joe Biden, his vice-president, may well address on Saturday at the annual Munich Security Conference – the Russian leaders have thrown down the gauntlet.First, they leaked details of naval and air bases to be established on the shores of the Black Sea in the breakaway Georgian province of Abkhazia, whose independence is recognised by Moscow alone. Then they signed an air defence treaty with the former Soviet republic of Belarus, apparently paving the way for an anti-missile defence system to counter one planned by the previous US administration across the border in Poland. Moscow appears to have persuaded the Central Asian republic of Kyrgyzstan to oust the US from its air base at Manas, outside Bishkek, in exchange for $2bn (€1.6bn, £1.4bn) in loans, and $150m in financial aid.Russia and the former Soviet republics of Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan – the so-called Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO) – have agreed to form a “rapid reaction force†which is intended to be just as good as the equivalent force operated by the Nato alliance, according to President Medvedev.Outside analysts are sceptical whether any of these moves amounts to a particularly effective military gesture but they are certainly intended to suggest that Russia is not rushing to embrace the new US administration.
MUNICH (AP) - Iran sternly dismissed decades of U.S. policies targeting Tehran and declared Friday that the new American administration had to admit past wrongs before it could hope for reconciliation. The comments by Iranian parliamentary speaker Ali Larijani at an international security conference in Munich appeared to be the most detailed outline yet of Tehran's expectations from President Barack Obama's administration. "The old carrot and stick policy must be discarded," he said, alluding to Western threats and offers of rewards to coax Iran to give up nuclear activities the West views as threatening. "This is a golden opportunity for the United States." Obama has said the U.S. is ready for direct talks with Iran in efforts to overcome concerns that its nuclear program could be used to develop atomic weapons. Tehran denies that and insists its aims are peaceful. The former U.S. administration refused one-on-one negotiations with Tehran on the issue unless it made significant nuclear concessions beforehand. There was no immediate U.S. reaction to Larijani's comments. Vice President Joe Biden was due the conference Saturday and was expected to try to muster more European troops for Afghanistan. But there is no sign that general European favor for the new U.S. administration has overcome the reluctance of some allies to contribute more soldiers.
So....What major city in the US will the next 9/11 type terrorists hit?Or will they do smaller scale more diverse hits?Like convention centers, shopping malls, schools?
If it's San Francisco I solemnly promise to not waterboard a single hajji to stop it.
NYC, Newark, Boston, Chicage, LA, Houseton, Miami, NO, Galviston are all ripe targets. They want NYC first because of the "Wall St. " symbolism. That may fade, as Obama seems hell bent to destroy Wall Street first.
We will survive an attack on just about any other single city - especially if the bad guys pick it for it's "symbolism". Hitting New Orleans may not have much symbolism, but by putting a cork in that bottleneck for trade up and down the Mississippi river, the long term damage to the US economy is Real, and that carries a symbolism all it's own. Even hitting a port city on the east or west coasts wouldn't close down the movement of goods to and from as much of this country as would hitting that one place at the mouth of the Mississippi.
Terrorism isn't a strategy of material destruction or attrition, it's a strategy of blunting the enemy's will. It seeks to compel political concessions not the outright destruction of the target.In this context Obama and the liberal congress are an enticement no self-respecting terrorist can ignore. The target city is unimportant so long as the hand-wringing navel-gazers can be shaken to blame the US and capitulate.
