Winter Soldier testifiers questioned by Young America Foundation

Filed under: Anti-War @ 5:53 pm

The juste of it is this:

Question: Will you testify to these allegations under oath?

Answer: uhhh….well…mumble mumble

Conclusion: Yeah. That’s what I thought.

Fitna, the movie

Filed under: Music, Books, Film , Terrorism and Islam @ 4:56 pm

Geert Wilder’s new film.

As seen at Michelle Malkin’s website and numerous other websites…

Ezra Levant:

The film isn’t particularly groundbreaking — there is no original footage. What’s novel is its juxtaposition of warlike passages from the Koran, with jihadist exhortations from European imams, with footage of terrorist carnage. It’s an effective piece — and a warning of what’s yet to come.

UPDATE: As of midnight ET, the clip had been seen by 1.5 million people in English, and 2.5 million in its original Dutch. That’s how the marketplace of ideas works, especially when threatened by medieval censorship. I’m sure Wilders’ film would have been popular without all the fatwas against it; but I doubt it would have been seen by 100 people per second. And congratulations to Liveleak, the Internet site that hosted the movie. Not only did they do a brisk business, but they stood up for freedom of speech, something YouTube/Google seems to get worse at every year.

This describes very plainly what we’re up against. And I don’t know how you can look at this and not come away with the thought that ‘terrorist’ is how they describe themselves…and that is what we should be calling them.

Robert Spencer asks, will Muslims rage against the truth?

My question is…will their aiding and abetting supporters rage against the truth?

heh. But then, why should today be different than any other?

What’s depicted in the film is what Code Pink supports; being that they sent $600,000 worth of money and supplies to the terrorists in Fallujah.

Meanwhile…back at the ranch…

The FBI is now involved in the theft of a car after it was found in Los Lunas with an explosive device and Iraqi currency inside

FBI agents say that they have ruled out terrorism.

The car was reported stolen last week. After the theft, the car’s owner was fueling his motorcycle when he spotted his stolen car….

The car’s owner pulled the keys out of the ignition of his stolen car and the people in the car fled.

When police arrived, they found the explosive device and less than $1,000 worth of Iraqi cash.

“We don’t know what their intentions were,” said Nuanes. “We don’t know what they were planning on doing with any of this.”…

Emphasis mine. Via Robert Spencer again, at Jihadwatch.

The world is in sane, mostly due to consistent moonbattery that doesn’t dare declare the intentions of a terrorist…”terrorism”.

Not to worry, FITNA is up elsewhere, and we should continue to promote it; particularly in light of this horrifying development.

Here’s a torrent link to Fitna, and another TOR link for Fitna.

it’s no wonder they opposed the Iraq invasion…

Back in 2002, Democrat Senators Jim McDermott, Mike Thompson and David Bonior went on an all expenses trip to Iraq, paid for by Saddam Hussein.

The Baghdad Democrats -Stephen Hayes

AP:

Federal prosecutors say Saddam Hussein’s intelligence agency secretly financed a trip to Iraq for three U.S. lawmakers during the run-up to the U.S.-led invasion.

An indictment in Detroit accuses Muthanna Al-Hanooti of arranging for three members of Congress to travel to Iraq in October 2002 at the behest of Saddam’s regime. Prosecutors say Iraqi intelligence officials paid for the trip through an intermediary.

In exchange, Al-Hanooti allegedly received 2 million barrels of Iraqi oil.

The lawmakers are not mentioned but the dates correspond to a trip by Democratic Reps. Jim McDermott of Washington, David Bonior of Michigan and Mike Thompson of California. There was no indication the three lawmakers knew the trip was underwritten by Saddam.

HA! “There was no indication the three lawmakers knew the trip was underwritten by Saddam.” Is that so.???

Well at least we know that Saddam’s oil was put to use beyond George Galloway’s ridiculous fake charity, the Miriam Appeal…it was spread out among OTHER America-haters besides George Galloway.

These lawmakers came back from that trip to Baghdad spouting the lies of Saddam’s regime…

On October 25, McDermott received a check for $5,000 from Shakir al-Khafaji.

Debbie Schlussel points out that she’s been writing about this as far back as 2003. And that Al-Hanooti, is not only a “former chief of CAIR-Michigan” but “was indicted for acting as a spy for Saddam Hussein in America.”

To me and anyone who followed the story and read a newspaper, that isn’t news. In fact, the indictment is far too little, far too late. The indictment says that a trip taken by three Congressmen–liberal Democrats Jim McDermott, David Bonior, and Mike Thompson–to Iraq in 2002, was funded by Saddam Hussein, using a third party to arrange the financing, and Al-Hanooti to put the trip together. Again, not news, since I wrote about it repeatedly on this site and also in The New York Post as far back as 2003.

Back to McDermott’s $5,000 gift for his ‘legal expense trust’ from Al-Hanooti:

The money, first reported by Amy Keller in Roll Call, had been deposited in an account for the McDermott Legal Expense Trust, a fund the congressman set up to pay legal bills in a lawsuit brought against him by Rep. John Boehner. (In 1996, McDermott had released to the media the transcript of a phone conversation between Boehner and Newt Gingrich, taped by a Florida couple.)

No one has accused McDermott of being a mouthpiece for Saddam Hussein simply for financial reasons.

I don’t know why not…

Indeed, McDermott has been saying stupid things for years with no evidence anyone has paid him to do so. A spokesman for McDermott says he “doesn’t know off the top of [his] head” whether McDermott has plans to return the money.

Riiiight. In other words, another possible explanation is …he’s a ‘useful idiot’…and like Barack Obama, was very willing to take money from extremists associated with Saddam’s Iraq..which seems to be a pattern with democrats. (Did Obama ever return the money HE received from Rezko and Rezko’s Saddam-connected Islamic fundraisers?)

The formidable task of sifting through the mountains of documents Saddam’s regime left behind is only beginning. Many of the answers at this point are obscured by more questions.

But George Galloway most assuredly wasn’t the only person lining his pockets by defending Saddam Hussein. Journalists and diplomats and businessmen have been doing it for years. Their stories will be told.

Although they won’t be told by the terrorist-loving MSM any time soon…

See David Horowitz: “The March to Save Saddam Hussein”. Those people who were paid by Saddam’s regime to talk his regime’s talking points are no different than the communists and other totalitarian supporters who promote Iraqi Baathist style propaganda during the pre-invasion period:

myths about starving children and about alleged mercernary interests behind American policy; all of them had one purpose — to disarm the American force already in the Middle East and allow Saddam to fight another day.

Fortunate for us, it didn’t work, Saddam was deposed and eventually captured and hung by the Iraqis themselves.

Still, it gives us another glimpse into the true motivation behind what the democrats are doing and have done regarding pandering to our enemies.
