Obuma's Super Duper Awesome Plan To Destroy ISIS:
Use Slightly-Less Insane Jihadists As His Ground Troops

(This guy's incompetence is going to get a lot of people killed)

   ... In the interview on Sunday, Mr. Obama said he envisioned the Free Syrian Army's providing the ground presence needed to confront ISIS in Syria. He said that until a moderate Sunni opposition emerged, there was no real hope of ousting President Bashar al-Assad of Syria. But the opposition has been fractured, and the moderate militias are viewed as far less capable than ISIS.

    "Our attitude towards Assad continues to be that through his actions, through using chemical weapons on his own people, dropping barrel bombs that killed innocent children, that he has foregone legitimacy," Mr. Obama said. "But when it comes to our policy and the coalition that we're putting together, our focus specifically is on ISIL." (ISIL is the name used by administration officials for the militant group.)

[...]

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is preparing to carry out a campaign against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria that may take three years to complete, requiring a sustained effort that could last until after President Obama has left office, according to senior administration officials.

The first phase, an air campaign with nearly 145 airstrikes in the past month, is already underway to protect ethnic and religious minorities and American diplomatic, intelligence and military personnel, and their facilities, as well as to begin rolling back ISIS gains in northern and western Iraq.

The next phase, which would begin sometime after Iraq forms a more inclusive government, scheduled this week, is expected to involve an intensified effort to train, advise or equip the Iraqi military, Kurdish fighters and possibly members of Sunni tribes.

The final, toughest and most politically controversial phase of the operation — destroying the terrorist army in its sanctuary inside Syria — might not be completed until the next administration. Indeed, some Pentagon planners envision a military campaign lasting at least 36 months.

Mr. Obama will use a speech to the nation on Wednesday to make his case for launching a United States-led offensive against Sunni militants gaining ground in the Middle East, seeking to rally support for a broad military mission while reassuring the public that he is not plunging American forces into another Iraq

Saudi Official: Western Politicians, Media Linking Islam To
Terrorism Drives Muslims To Become Jihadists

(No, nothing to do with a certain book based on a 7th century warlord, the Quran)

Via Arab News:
http://www.arabnews.com/featured/news/627041

Secretary-General of King Abdul Aziz Center for National Dialogue (KACND) Faisal Muammar has said that linking Islam to the events of Sept. 11, 2001 by some Western politicians and media was unfair and obviously aimed at projecting Muslims as terrorists and extremists.

"The goal of these critics was to fight Islam, not terrorism and this made them (terrorists) gain more supporters and sympathizers globally instead" he noted.

Muammar made his remarks recently while receiving US advisers and aides of the Congress members at KACND headquarters in Riyadh.

He said those indulging in terrorism and extremism use the name of religion in conflicts with others, in many parts of the world, especially in the Middle East. "Those terrorists are not related to religion, they simply make use of religion to gain supporters and sympathizers and portray their actions as service to the religion," he said.

"KACND's top priority is to confront extremism and terrorism and to work through partnerships with other agencies, organizations and institutions to promote the values and virtues of Islam" he added.

A video of a group of teenagers beating a Kroger employee in the store's parking lot is circulating on Facebook.

A Kroger employee tells WMC Action News 5 that the attack happened at the Kroger near Highland Street and Poplar Avenue.

Accroding to police, three people were jumped by a large group of teenagers who were chanting "fam mob." The group, who came from CiCi's Pizza, reportedly attacked a 25-year-old customer as he left his car to enter Kroger. Two employees, ages 17 and 18, were attacked while trying to stop the fight. Both were "struck several times in the head and face, while being knocked to the ground." The victims say large pumpkins were thrown at their heads. They both eventually were knocked unconscious.

Federal Grand Jury Investigating Terror Pipeline From U.S. To ISIS

Via Star Tribune:
http://www.startribune.com/local/minneapolis/274233901.html   

A federal grand jury in St. Paul is investigating a group of Somali-Americans who were allegedly conspiring to join terrorists fighting in Syria, according to sources with direct knowledge of the probe.

    The proceedings, which have been going on all summer, appear to be centered on trying to find out who is behind efforts to convince 20 to 30 people that they should leave Minnesota to fight in the Middle East. That question has stymied federal agents for the last year as they have struggled to build inroads and trust with the Muslim community in the Twin Cities in order to cut off a new pipeline of recruits.

    Seven years ago, about two dozen young Somali men from Minnesota were recruited to fight in Somalia with another terrorist group, Al-Shabab. As many as nine were reported killed, and after a series of indictments and high-profile convictions, federal authorities and community leaders believed that the recruiting had stopped.

    Instead, it has shifted to a new region.

    In June, investigators stopped a Somali teen just before he boarded a plane at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, his final destination believed to be Syria.

    But federal authorities say upward of a dozen Somali men and three women from Minnesota have fled the country to fight alongside or aid extremists in the Middle East. They estimate as many as 100 Americans have gone to Syria and Iraq to join insurgents whose brutality, including mass executions and beheadings of American journalists, has prompted the U.S. and other countries to consider airstrikes against the movement. The departures also have heightened fears that some may try to return to carry out attacks in the U.S.

    In late August, a Minnesota man became the first American recruit confirmed to have died while fighting in the Syria-Iraq area with the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) forces. A second Minnesota man is believed to have been killed in the same battle. [...]

    Early this summer, FBI agents and prosecutors questioned the father of a Somali teen about his son's activities prior to the teen being arrested last spring at the airport. The youth was apprehended at the gate, as he prepared to board a plane. Agents reportedly made it clear to the family that they were less interested in the son's involvement than in who recruited him.

    The boy's father had dropped his son off at school and hours later he was contacted by FBI agents, who told him they had picked his son up at the airport. Sometime between the school drop-off and the arrest, the boy had changed clothes and showed up at the airport with a suitcase, according to sources.

    The investigation is moving slowly because many of those subpoenaed are refusing to talk and have been instructed to invoke their Fifth Amendment right to remain silent, multiple sources said.

    The group under investigation is mostly composed of young Somalis who have been frequenting the Al Farooq Youth and Family Center and mosque in Bloomington. There, they may have fallen under the influence of Amir Meshal, a 31-year-old American of Egyptian descent who allegedly spoke often to them about joining in a jihad, those sources said.

DHS Advisor And Muslim Brotherhood Supporter, Mohamed Elibiary Has Left The Building

(It was noted in June how ISIS was actually using Elibiary's comments
about the inevitable return of the Caliphate in recruiting.  About time they got rid of his a$$. 
Now if they can remove Obuma!)

Via Center For Security Policy:

http://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/2014/09/05/mohamed-elibiary-has-left-the-building/

Mohamed Elibiary, an Islamist with extensive ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and a record of influence operations in the service of its agenda, has announced his departure after five years on the Department of Homeland Security Advisory Council. We can only hope that – at a moment when the danger posed by shariah-adherent Muslims is becoming more palpable by the day – the Department decided to stop legitimating an advisor who has publicly championed that it was, " inevitable that 'Caliphate' return", contended that the United States is "an Islamic country with an Islamically compliant constitution."

Elibiary had always been brazen in his support for Islamists and the Muslim Brotherhood in particular, including featuring the Muslim Brotherhood "R4Bia" symbol on his twitter page, and publicly lauding Muslim Brotherhood ideologue Sayyid Qutb.

Paul Harvey: The End of the Story

By Richard Corliss Sunday, Mar. 01, 2009

VIDEO:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ng11P1J4iYM&list=PLgvK4f_kAjzjReIVOoAgKL0KVnWek4unZ#t=4

Excepts from Nov 22 & 26th 1963
Mauser rifle mentioned and later at 4:40 on the 26th it was reported a man with a weapon on the roof of Internal Revenue Service building which overlooks the Dept of Justice entrance where Robert Kennedy passes several time a day.

"This is Paul Harvey." That clarion Midwestern voice was its own time machine; it carried listeners back to radio days of yore, when a distinctive vocal performance was as important as good looks are in TV news today. The opinions Harvey expressed were old-fashioned as well: politically and socially conservative, the musings of a grandpa who's seen it all — or, as he put it, "In times like these, it helps to recall that there have always been times like these." It is hardly an exaggeration to say that when Harvey died at 90, on Saturday, at his winter home in Phoenix, he took the whole history of radio with him.

Born before the first commercial radio stations went on the air, Harvey fashioned a personality and career that spanned the medium's Golden Age, its postwar retreat into a pop jukebox and its later resurgence as the place for news and talk — exactly what Harvey did for more than 75 years. He spoke with clarion clarity, his voice an elocution teacher's pride, easily parodied but intimate, powerful and oh-so-precise. It was "nee-ews," never the lazy "nooze," and "reck-ord," not "reckerd." For emphasis, he'd add a vowel to a word with abutting consonants ("web-a-site"). Many of his fans were of his generation, but a few young'uns had to be tuning in: his broadcasts reached some 12 million weekly listeners on 1,200 radio stations and 400 Armed Forces Network affiliates. Nor did you have to agree with Harvey to find him a radio entertainer of the highest quality. (Read TIME's "Top 10 iPhone Applications," including Pandora's Internet Radio.)

Paul Harvey Aurandt was born in Tulsa, Okla., in 1918; his father was shot and killed by robbers when Paul was 3. As a kid, he built a radio set to receive distant magic signals, and in high school, a teacher nudged him into a radio booth at local station KVOO. Jobs in Salina, Kans., Oklahoma City and Honolulu followed just before Pearl Harbor brought him to Chicago in 1944. He stayed there, hosting a Jobs for G.I. Joe program, adding his signature phrase "the rest of the story" the following year. He got his own show, on WENR, with his wife Lynne, another radio pioneer, serving as producer and co-writer. In 1951 he joined the ABC network with Paul Harvey News and Comment, a title that stuck for 58 years. Nine years ago, ABC re-upped Harvey with a 10-year, $100 million contract.

A salesman for himself and his vision of the American dream, he was also a master peddler of many products, whose makers were as loyal to Harvey as his listeners were. A skit from the 1984-85 season of Saturday Night Live had Harvey (played by Rich Hall) compulsively peppering his news items with sponsor names. The man remained unapologetic. "Some days," he told Larry King in 1988, "the best news in the broadcast is the commercial. You can keep your natural teeth all your natural life! There is a glove that doesn't wear out! There is a car battery that keeps its promises! That's good news! And I would use those things on the air if they were not in the body of the commercial." The finest huckster is the one who has first sold himself on the product.

In his last years, Harvey's resonance wavered a bit; an occasional vocal crack gave a whimsical tone to the music of his script. But his métier never changed. It remained a mix of headlines, mild fulminations ("Americans, do not protest bone-marrow stem-cell transplants") and lighter-side anecdotes. "Doctors have removed a kidney stone the size of a coconut," he said in late January, adding with a little startle, "seven inches-a across!" He could tut-tut with a smile: "Have you noticed," he asked just before this year's Super Bowl, "some players with hair that sticks from under their helmets?" And he respected his elders, sending best wishes to long-married couples: "Agnes and John Caroline in Lavalette, N.J., are 71 years along the way to forever together."

Such was his authority, among the skeptical and gullible alike, that minor industries sprang up around him. A book version of The Rest of the Story, first published in 1977, hit its 18th printing in four years. And on the Internet, you'll find 65,000 links to what is known as the Paul Harvey riddle: "What is greater than God, more evil than the devil? The poor have it, the rich don't need it. And if you eat it, you'll die." There is no evidence that Harvey ever read this on the air, but it's just the kind of whimsical poser that, because his name was attached to it, attracted a zillion Googlers. He sold concepts too. (Answer to the riddle: nothing.)

The rosy sentimentalist was also a fretful conservative; he backed Joe McCarthy's search for imaginary communists in the State Department. But sometimes he just got fed up, reversing himself on the Vietnam War, telling Richard Nixon, "Mr. President, I love you, but you're wrong." In 2005 he suggested that the U.S. should have used nuclear weapons in both Iraq and Afghanistan; yet as casualties mounted in Iraq, he showed impatience, frustration, a hint that he felt betrayed by the policy he'd supported.

A month ago, Harvey knocked Nancy Pelosi because she "rubber-stamped" the stimulus package. He called on Congress to do its job and not "sit on the economic skillet and let the pork sizzle." This was mild stuff compared with a joke Harvey passed along to his listeners in September 2007 about an imaginary meeting of David Petraeus and Chelsea Clinton. The President's daughter asks the general if he's afraid of anything, and Harvey gives this reply: "I am afraid of three things. I am afraid of Osama, and I am afraid of Obama, and, Ms. Clinton, I am afraid of yo' mama. Heh heh heh. Paul Harvey: Good day!"

It was a similar piece of Harvey hokum that led Keith Olbermann to apostrophize, "Probably time for you to give us your final 'Good day!' " But Harvey was no quitter. He reduced his workload to a few broadcasts a week (his son Paul Jr., a longtime writer for the show, was a frequent guest host), but he would not give up the gig after a bout of pneumonia, or his 90th birthday, or even Lynne's death, in 2007, after 67 years of marriage. "Retiring," he said, "is just practicing up to be dead. That doesn't take any practice." He was still broadcasting the week before he died.

Less a maker of news than a conduit for popular sentiment about the news, Harvey told King, "I don't think of myself as a profound journalist. I think of myself as a professional parade watcher who can't wait to get out of bed every morning and rush down to the Teletypes and pan for gold."

Teletypes, computer keys and maybe radio itself should go quiet for a moment to honor the man who for three-quarters of a century watched the parade and, strutting and smiling, helped lead it.

The 5 Most Egregious
Myths About Conservatism

Lee Edwards  / September 07, 2014

When it has nothing else to do, the liberal establishment will dip into its bulging bag of clichés and declare that this time, absolutely, positively, without any doubt, the conservative movement is done. And once again it becomes the duty of right-thinking analysts to stand up and firmly say, "Poppycock!"

Here are five of the most egregious myths about conservatism:

1. The conservative movement is cracking up.

The primary fights between regular Republicans and tea party candidates reflect vitality, not decay. If the conservative party (that is, the Republican Party) were as close to interment as liberals say, political candidates would be vying for the nomination of a third party such as the libertarians. They aren't.

Liberals are mistaking diversity for division, and today the conservative movement is more diverse than ever, with names such as Jindal, Rubio, Cruz, Martinez, Tim Scott, Rand Paul, etc. The movement is expanding, not contracting, as evidenced in annual gatherings such as the traditionalist CPAC, which attracts 10,000, and the libertarian Freedom Fest, which draws more than 2,000 people.

2. The conservative philosophy is irrelevant and out of date.

"To suggest that the conservative philosophy is out of date is akin to saying that the Golden Rule, or the Ten Commandments, or Aristotle's Politics are out of date. The conservative approach is nothing more or less than an attempt to apply the wisdom and experience and the revealed truths of the past to the problems of today." Barry Goldwater wrote that 54 years ago in "The Conscience of a Conservative,"and it holds true today.

3. The three-legged stool of social, economic and national security conservatism is breaking down.

From 1995 to 2011, according to Gallup, pro-life support in America increased from 33 percent to 50 percent, and support for abortion declined by 15 percent. A 2013 Gallup showed 41 percent of Americans self-identified as economically conservative, but only 19 percent as economically liberal. President Obama's stop-and-start foreign policy in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Russia, Ukraine, Libya and elsewhere has produced a new breed of national security conservatives committed to a prudent foreign policy, based on our capabilities and guided by our founding principles of liberty and justice.

4) The tea party is toxic for conservatism.

Of all the myths, this may be the most pernicious. Far from being poisonous, the tea party has assumed the grassroots role of Goldwater volunteers in 1964, the Moral Majority in Reagan's 1980 presidential victory and supporters of the 1994 Contract with America. Denounced as extremist by the media, the tea party believes, as a conservative icon once put it, that "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice." I can attest from personal experience that Tea Partiers love their country, their God and the Constitution.

5) Conservatism is headed for the ash heap of history unless it makes major changes in its philosophy and politics.

Wrong and wrong. Conservatism is the largest political philosophy in America: 40 percent of Americans describe themselves as conservative, 35 percent as moderate, and just 22 percent liberal. When queried about specific issues, moderates lean more to the right than to the left. The current surge of libertarianism, as seen in Sen. Rand Paul's pre-presidential candidacy, will widen the appeal of the conservative movement.

Culturally, Fox News continues to dominate the world of cable news, Rush Limbaugh remains the No. 1 talk-show host, Cal Thomas is the most widely syndicated newspaper columnist in America, and The Heritage Foundation, in combination with Heritage Action, is the most-often cited think tank in Washington.

The defeats of 2006, 2008 and 2012 were caused by lackluster political leadership and lip service to conservative principles. The elections of 2014 and 2016 afford conservatives an opportunity to forge a governing coalition stretching from the nation's capital to the state houses and legislatures of red and blue states.

America has always been a center-right nation, accepting of change so long as it is gradual and not radical, which explains in large measure the continuing rejection of Obamacare. Most Americans take their lead from the American and not the French Revolution.

As Goldwater put it, conservative principles have little to do with "the social, economic and political landscape that changes from decade to decade and from century to century" and everything to do with man's nature and his God. The problems confronting us may change, but the principles guiding the answers do not. The challenge before us is not to find new truths but to apply proven truths to the present-day problems of our world.

An open letter to Barack Obama: World War III is here

Dear Mr. President,

It's been quite a summer. The world is not a pretty place right now but I see you have had a chance to play golf. In fact you've played golf through the worst of it. Right after announcing that American journalist James Foley had been beheaded.

Now I play golf and I enjoy it. But I'm not president of the United States... so I have a little more time.

But I digress. Let's skip on down to the really important part... I hope you'll read closely. There will be a quiz.

We are at war, sir, whether you like it or not.

One of your predecessors said this when our country was being threatened...

"Hostilities exist. There is no blinking to the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger. As commander in chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense. I ask that that congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7th, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Empire of Japan. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory. With confidence in our armed forces, with the un bounding determination of our people-we will gain the inevitable triumph--so help us God."

Franklin Delano Roosevelt uttered those words on a December day almost 73 years ago.

In the name of that same God invoked so eloquently and powerfully by that president, I ask that you, Mr. President -- if you're not too busy playing golf, campaigning, orchestrating the cover ups of all the "phony scandals," and just being cool -- could again declare war on the enemies who have unleashed "unprovoked and dastardly attacks" on the United States.

This summer we have now seen two American journalists beheaded by the "Islamic State" – ISIS or IL or IS.

We are at war, sir, whether you like it or not.

Over 2,400 members of the United States military were killed that December morning long ago, in an attack not really on the United States mainland. It happened in Hawaii. I know you are familiar with Hawaii. The Aloha State was just a territory of the United States at that time.

That war would last for 4 long years and would kill 60 to 80 million people, including 291,557 American soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines.

That terrible toll was exacted in a war wherein the enemy combatants of the Axis powers, Japan, Germany, and Italy, had no means whatsoever of successfully mounting  a military strike against the United States homeland.

Even if we hadn't won the war, and even if we hadn't captured/liberated Werner Von Braun and the other German scientists at  Peenemunde before the Russians got to them, it would have been at least 10-15 years before Germany would have had a rocket/missile capable of reaching the U. S. mainland. And yet President Roosevelt galvanized, mobilized, and energized, and united the American people like never before.

Then America, in its "righteous might" unsheathed and unleashed the most devastating war machine in the history of mankind.

Guess what Mr. President, THE GOOD  GUYS WON!! They won because President Roosevelt had the "cojones" to "pull the trigger," giving no thought to his legacy, but giving thought only to the preservation of the American way of life.

Forget the fun on the golf course, Mr. President. Does that way of life mean anything to you, sir,  or are you still so hell bent on "fundamentally changing" the American way of life that you cannot, or will not, change course and "pull the trigger?"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly said that, for Israel, the question of the current conflict with the enemies of Israel is an existential one.

In my opinion, sir, and in the opinions of most of the grown-ups in our military apparatus, and other expert military analysts, the United States is now engaged -- or not really engaged -- in no less an existential conflict.

Please pay attention sir. It's not your shot yet. It's Alonzo's shot.

We are being told every night on TV that the American people don't have the stomach for more war 10,000 miles away. Well sir, I think you should conduct another of your seemingly endless polls and ask those Americans a few simple questions:

Do Americans have the stomach to see planes crash into our buildings again, or citizens running through the streets of New York City with the residue of those buildings and the ashes of those who were burned alive on their faces again, or a man and wife holding hands and jumping out of an 80th story window, together, to keep from being burned alive again?

Sir, why don't you ask Americans these simple questions and see what their answers are.

Whether you like it or not sir, World War III has already started and it is time for America to "take arms against a sea of trouble, and by opposing," try to keep 9/11 and other attacks on America from happening again.

From 1941-45, 291,557 American soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines died to defeat an enemy  that had  absolutely no means of attacking the United States mainland. And now, we are being told that after more than 10 years of fighting those ruthless bastards in Iraq and Afghanistan where "only" 6,802 of our warriors have been killed, America doesn't have the stomach to go do what needs to be done?

Please understand the context of the word "only." With all my heart I thank all these warriors and their families for the sacrifices they have made, and continue to make. And now we are giving up the fight? We are surrendering? We are  being told that AMERICA DOESNT HAVE THE STOMACH TO DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE??

Well sir, you need to have enough stomach, GUTS, COJONES for all of us. It's called LEADERSHIP!!

If that is so, that America doesn't have the stomach to do what needs to be done, I say shame on us, and especially, shame on you, Mr. President. We deserve what we will get.

I believe that it is time for America to go on wartime footing, all the way up to and including a "peacetime" draft if necessary. Heck, pay the soldiers what congressmen, senators, and your White House spin doctors make. 

Go save Iraq -- AGAIN. Take 20% of their oil revenue until the money we have spent freeing them -- TWICE -- is paid back. Leave a residual force there to keep this from happening again (see Japan, Germany, and Italy) and tell anyone who doesn't like it to kiss AMERICA's happy, safe rear end. 

I am 66 years old, I'm in pretty damn good shape and I will go right now. I've lived a good life and I want my granddaughters to have the chance to live one too.

I was #296 during Vietnam... I didn't  have to go, but I would have gone if I had been called.

I will go now if called... Unfortunately, I know that I never will be called, so I will answer a different call.

I will call on you, Mr. President. Do you have the stomach to lead our scared, uncertain, worried, "tired of war" American citizens in a fight to the death against the Islamic murderers, even if the "tide of public opinion" is against it?

Anyone can lead people who are willing and eager to go. Can you, will you lead people who are not willing, but need to go?

Finally, while it is long past time to start treating our veterans with the dignity and care they deserve,  it is also long past time to stop treating our current soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines like Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. They have been trained to defend the United States, Mr. President, to the death, if it comes to that.

We have trained them, fed them, housed them, equipped them, armed them, and stationed them in close proximity to hot spots all over the world, in order to be ready for the start of World War III.

Well, Mr. President, WORLD  WAR III is here.

It's high time we turn our troops loose to let them GO KILL THE BAD GUYS. Turn them loose, sir, and give America another, "righteous might, so help us God" moment.

Please, sir, before it's too late...

IT'S YOUR SHOT NOW... FORE!!

Grandmother Turns In Grandson For Possible Involvement In Memphis Kroger Attack

("His daddy is not a male role model, that's my son and he's not," said the grandmother, "I hope he looks at this news thing and sees me saying this since he never wants to listen to me, he needs to be more involved in his child's life." Update to the story above)

    Mayor A C Wharton and Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong called on parents to take responsibility for their children's actions, after a video that showed a mob of teens attacking customers and employees at a Memphis Kroger went viral.

    "The incident that occurred last night is a true depiction of lack of parenting,' said Director Armstrong.

    A grandmother who did not want to be shown on camera said her 15-year-old grandson was with the group on Saturday at Poplar Avenue and Highland Street.

    After watching the video on WMC Actions News 5, she did what she hopes other parents will do ... called police and turned him in.

    "I plead to all parents to just, if they know that their child was down there even if their child didn't do anything, we need to get a hold of our kids," said the grandmother.
