Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah threatened to bomb Tel Aviv during a TV address Thursday night, should Israel attack in Beirut. His threat was delivered in a broadcast over Hizballah’s mouthpiece, al Manar TV.
“If you indeed do this, I say this clearly. I won’t use terms I used up to now, past Haifa, but I will say clearly and in a way that is not open to interpretation: If you bomb our capital we’ll bomb your capital. We’ll bomb Tel Aviv and we can do this.”
U.N. boss: Hezbollah deserves U.S. respect
Global group’s deputy secretary-general would give terrorists conference-table seat
A top United Nations official says to quiet the “demons” across the “wider Islamic world” the United States and the international community must respect Hezbollah as a political party, not a terrorist organization.
“Everybody would want a solution here which takes away the recruiting power of Hezbollah in the broader Arab world,” said Mark Malloch Brown, the U.N.’s deputy secretary general.
That would be one, he said, that “allows Hezbollah a political as against a militia future inside an independent Lebanon.”
The military conflagration in the Mideast going on now was sparked by Hezbollah’s military attack on Israel, and Brown said if Hezbollah and its supporters are given that political acknowledgement the motivation for military attacks would decline.

British numb brain that whined about Rush Limbaugh and Fox news a few weeks back, and got taken apart by John Bolton, and everyone else. I suggest the fool remain in Britain, where they are happy to listen to his nonsense, and not bother to come back.
Ask the Marines that were bombed in Beirut about Hezballah!!
Of all of the insulting things to say to a nation who has had it’s citizens murdered by these monsters! Respect? I will NEVER respect any of these lower than snake terrorists! How dare he say this! I have no respect for the UN either. It is official, the world is nuts!
The U.N. is a terrorist organization. It is dominated by the Islamofascist virus and it needs to be eradicated once and for all, by any means necessary.
Rightroots is a broad coalition of conservatives joining together in support of a solid slate of Republican candidates for the US House and Senate. Properly funded, these candidates represent our best chance to retain control of Congress and to enact a conservative agenda.
The bloggers and groups listed at the right have come together to support this slate, and together with ABCPAC.com and your generous support, will expand our conservative majority in November.

This is the plan…………….
In order to do that, we’re going to need a lot of help from the blogosphere and talk radio, which is why I’m contacting you.
What would we like you to do?
#1) We’d like you endorse the list. (Endorsements will be listed on the Rightroots page)
#2) We’d love for you to link the list today. The bigger start we can get right off the bat and the more buzz we can generate, the better.
#3) If you’re part of any big Republican mailing lists, forums, or know any big name conservatives you could pass this onto, it would be great!
#4) It would be fantastic if you permanently link the Rightroots page, preferably in a prominent spot.
#5) Usually with a blogosphere story, you link it once and go on. In this case, we’re hoping that people will link this list once or twice a week from now until the election. That’s the key factor that will really keep the money rolling in.
Now, what if you don’t feel comfortable endorsing the list or promoting all the candidates?
No problem! If you just support a candidate or two on the list, feel free to send your readers over to the Rightroots list to donate to them. On the other hand, even if you don’t want to do that, there may still be some news value in comparing what this list raises to the liberal list.
The more people talk about us and link to us, the better for the slate of candidates — and for you. Keep in mind that this is a project that has the potential to benefit the whole right side of the blogosphere. You ever wondered why Democratic politicians pay so much attention to liberal bloggers? A big part of the reason is because they raise money for them. If we do a good job of fund raising, it will raise our prestige level and profile. Make no mistake about it, if we can raise more money than the left side of the blogosphere over the final three months of the campaign, it will get politicians and journalists talking about the influence of the right side of the blogosphere — and that’s good for all of us!
Read more about it at Right Wing News, and at Mary Katherine Ham’s Townhall article and at Lorie Byrd’s post at Wizbang, and PLEASE, y’all, go over to the Rightroots/ABCPAC site and give it your support.
And you can find graphcis for this to use at your blog HERE.

We can complain till the cows come home and it won’t make a difference. Action is what makes a difference and the left has always been better at this then we are on the right. We have watched PC take over step by step, inch by inch and then wonder how America has become soooo PC. Well PC began way back when I was in grade school and it has proven one thing.
The left is good at winning one battle at a time. They know they cannot win the war in one move so they choose to win one hill, one battle and then the next. We as Republicans like to win the whole shabang at once and that is one of the things that cause us not to win anything.
The left is paid to protest the right is NOT, we do it because we believe in our causes and do not expect to be paid for it. We have jobs and the left, well many do not and insted they get money from the vile leftie groups to do nothing more then protest and push their agenda of destruction to America.
I for one will not be one of the ones that is only a keyboard patriot, I want action and will do what I can to make a difference.
Please send this post out to all you know that love America. We CAN make a difference but it takes an effort. Let’s not let the left win this next election on anything. They do NOT love America.

LONDON —
A guard dog has ripped apart a collection of rare teddy bears, including one once owned by Elvis Presley, during a rampage at a children’s museum.
“He just went berserk,” said Daniel Medley, general manager of the Wookey Hole Caves near Wells, England, where hundreds of bears were chewed up Tuesday night by the 6-year-old Doberman pinscher named Barney.
Barney ripped the head off a brown stuffed bear once owned by the young Presley during the attack, leaving fluffy stuffing and bits of bears’ limbs and heads on the museum floor. The bear, named Mabel, was made in 1909 by the German manufacturer Steiff.
The collection, valued at more than $900,000, included a red bear made by Farnell in 1910 and a Bobby Bruin made by Merrythought in 1936.
The bear with Elvis connections was owned by English aristocrat Benjamin Slade, who bought it at an Elvis memorabilia auction in Memphis, Tenn., and had loaned it to the museum.
“I’ve spoken to the bear’s owner and he is not very pleased at all,” Medley said.
A security guard at the museum, Greg West, said he spent several minutes chasing Barney before wrestling the dog to the ground.

I have had dogs and kitties all my life and never had one attack my teddy bear collection. Sometimes a dog will adopt a bear for his own and sleep with it and play with it. So this story is very odd indeed. Since the Islam is the cult of death and destruction I will just say that dear ole Barney must have the heart of a Muslim.

Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Dan Gillerman doesn’t like former President Jimmy Carter meddling in Israeli affairs.
Asked on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal program to comment on Mr. Carter’s opinion column in yesterday’s Washington Post calling on Israel to withdraw from Lebanese territory and release its prisoners, the ambassador replied:
“I think that President Carter’s appearances, op-eds, and speeches are an embarrassment. I think that they are an embarrassment to the great institution of the presidency. I mean, President Carter wasn’t that great of a president to start with … I really don’t know what has happened to him over the last few years.”

God bless you Dan Gillerman.
Dan Gillerman is totally awesome, everytime he speaks on any of the TV political shows I want to stand up and cheer. I wish I had that feeling with our politicians. WOW…. Gillerman thank you!
Jimmy Carter at it Again
by John Gibson
Tuesday he ( Jimmy Carter) writes in The Washington Post that Israel has a right to defend itself, but it shouldn’t make civilians in Lebanon suffer and expect them to blame Hezbollah for the devastation and death from Israeli return fire.
Thus, according to Carter logic, if Hezbollah fires rockets at Israelis from the middle of Lebanese civilians — as the U.N. says Hezbollah has in fact done — then Israel must not shoot back because civilians might be hurt or killed.
Carter says it is inhumane to make Lebanese civilians suffer. OK, agreed. But it is also wrong to exempt Hezbollah from blame for the suffering it has brought on its own people.
Under these peculiar Carter rules, Hezbollah can always shoot at Israel as long as they do it from areas with heavy civilian populations.
Hezbollah picks the places to fire rockets, and so it picks the places Israel will attack in response.
And this is what they are demanding………… Why am I NOT surprised!!!!
(CNSNews.com) – Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, alongside various anti-war and Muslim groups, has announced plans for a “National Emergency March on Washington” to stop what he described as U.S. funding of the “Israeli war machine.”
Clark claimed that U.S. funding to Israel, which is battling Hizballah terrorists in southern Lebanon, is grounds for impeaching President Bush. “If we’d acted on impeachment before now, Lebanon wouldn’t be subjected to this misery,” said Clark at the National Press Club Thursday. “If we fail to act now, who is next?”
The National Council of Arab-Americans, Partnership for Civil Justice, Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation, and the ANSWER Coalition are partnering to show their dissent of U.S.-Israeli policy in a march planned near the White House on Aug. 12.
“It is important to let the people of Lebanon and the people of Palestine know that even though the Bush administration speaks in our name — spending our tax dollars to fund and finance these wars both in Iraq and in Lebanon — it does so without the consent of the American people,” said Brian Becker, national coordinator for the ANSWER Coalition.
The Palestinian-dominated Hamas and Iranian-funded Hizballah are not considered terrorist organizations by ANSWER, and the group claims that they should not be labeled as such by the Bush administration. Becker said that both groups are widely supported by political parties that include at least 30 to 40 percent of the people.
“So was the Nazi party,” said Ariel Cohen, Ph.D., a senior research fellow from the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation.
Cohen said Hizballah consists of the “troops founded, funded, trained and equipped by the Islamic republic of Iran,” continued Cohen. “With the statement yesterday, the number two of al-Qaeda — Ayman al- Zawahiri — declared solidarity with Hizballah.”
“Oh Muslims everywhere, I call on you to fight and become martyrs in the war against the Zionists and the Crusaders,” al-Zawahiri said in a video message Thursday.
However, Becker said the only purpose of using the label “terrorist” is to demonize regimes that are opposed to U.S. occupation.
“The characterization of Hizballah as a terrorist organization by the Bush administration must be understood in exactly the same way that they conducted the demonization campaign against the Iraqi government under the Saddam Hussein era,” said Becker.
“Which is simply to find a rationale to justify terrorist actions against the people who live in Lebanon,” he continued, “just as the Bush administration needed to find an explanation to carry out its war crimes, its crimes against humanity and its state-sponsored terrorism against the people of Iraq.”
While Clark, ANSWER and the United Nations do not list Hamas as a terrorist organization, Australia, Canada, Israel, the United States and the European Union do. Hamas, a political arm of the Palestinian government, has orchestrated multiple suicide bombings in Israel.
Hizballah is listed as a terrorist organization only by Israel and the U.S., although the European Parliament said in 2005 that it recognized evidence of terrorist activity from Hizballah. Both Hamas and Hizballah began as resistance movements to the State of Israel.
“The terror that is being waged right now is the terror carried out by the Israeli government with the full backing of the United States government,” said Becker.
The leftist groups criticized the U.S. for sending precision-guided bombs to Israel as part of what they called a multi-million dollar arms deal allowing Israel to draw from it when necessary. They called it a direct violation of the Arms Export Control Act — an act that allows the president to export arms as long as they do not aid terrorists or kill civilians.
“The U.S. rushed 5,000 pound bombs to Israel so that they could bomb in Lebanon and Palestine. Not because they are blowing up buildings, because they are blowing up human beings,” said Mounzer Sleiman, founding member of National Council of Arab-Americans and independent military and political analyst.
But Cohen believes people like Clark, Becker and Sleiman are trying to misinform the American public.
“These people are masters of disinformation,” said Cohen. “The U.S government would not violate the Arms Expert Control Act. Israel has received in the past and is receiving now sophisticated technology from the United States and is developing by itself sophisticated technology that it provides to the United States under collaborative agreements.”
Sleiman also alleged that Israel’s attacks are a product of the U.S. efforts to gain control of the Middle East for its oil reserves, using Israel as its pawn.
“The main aim of this war is not to free captured soldiers. It is not even to remove Hizballah. It is purely and simply to bring Lebanon down on its knees and bring about its disintegration,” said Sleiman. “Apparently this is a condition Condi Rice called ‘the birth of the Middle East.'”
Cohen disagreed. “This is not about Israel. The al-Zawahiri statement says that they want to impose their version of Islam, their dark ages version of Islam from Spain to Iraq.
“This is an attack on the West, on the U.S. interests and the U.S. ally Israel,” he continued. “And the idea is to weaken Israel to make her bleed. Then if the U.S. inserts its forces there or Europeans insert their forces there, to make them bleed.”

Clark never met a terrorist he didn’t like. Ramsey Clark is a traitor to his own country, to freedom, to justice, and an eager ally to all that is wrong in this world…if there’s a communist or islamic regime he’s all for it, especially when they’re fighting his own country. He revels in supporting the most despicable men on the face of the planet….Saddam, Milosevic, Castro, Chavez…he’s a friend to them all. He’s an utter disgrace, and we’ll all be better off when his time on this earth is over.
The Commissar has announced the verdicts of his most recent Show Trial.
