Korean Navies Exchange Fire, North Loses
The North and South Korean Navies fired on one another today on the Yellow Sea. A North Korean patrol boat wandered into South Korean waters and refused to pull back. Shots were fired and the North Korean patrol boat limped back to port in flames.
Video: Iranians Hold Massive Protests, Chant Message To Obama
Iranians have once again taken to the streets of Tehran to face down the brutal regime they’ve suffered under for 30 years. Today is the 30th anniversary of the takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, but instead of celebrating the crowd is protesting the regime.
The protesters are chanting “Obama, Obama are you with regime or with us?”
Sadly, I think most Americans already know the answer to that question.
Here’s even more protest footage. This time the crowd is chanting “die, die dictator!”
Here is some footage of the protesters stomping on a picture of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei:

Two Muslim Terrorists In India Killed By Hungry Bear
This has to be one of the best stories ever. Three Muslim terrorists in Indian-administered Kashmir took up residence inside a cave and cooked up a batch of pudding to eat.
Not long after, the large bear that lived in that cave arrived home to find Islamic intruders in his house — and some uneaten pudding.
Outraged at the intrusion and more than a little hungry, the bear ate two of the terrorists and the rest of the pudding.
Only one terrorist made it out alive — barely.
Kudos to the bear.

Iran Allegedly Agrees To Deal On Exporting Nuclear Fuel
From The NYT:
The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency said Wednesday that Iranian negotiators had agreed to a draft of a deal to ship much of Iran’s stockpile of nuclear fuel to Russia, but cautioned that it would still have to be approved by Friday in Tehran and Washington.
The draft, which came after three days of talks here, adds important details to an agreement in principle made on Oct. 1, after a preliminary round of negotiations. If approved, the deal would commit Iran to temporarily exporting 75 percent of its known stockpile of low-grade nuclear fuel to Russia for additional enrichment. Negotiators say that would prevent the possibility that Iran could turn the fuel into weapons-grade material anytime soon.
I don’t buy a word of this. First of all, anything the head of the IAEA says is suspect to begin with. Secondly, the keywords in the above paragraph are “known stockpile”. The Iranians have never been honest about their nuclear program and there’s no evidence to suggest that has changed.
Exporting 75% of the fuel we know they have means nothing as long as they keep 100% of the fuel they’re hiding and continue to enrich in secret.
This entire thing is a farce and unless Israel takes military action the Iranians will become a nuclear power.
Obama To Skip 20 Year Anniversary Celebrations For Fall Of Communism
Marxist President Barack Obama is planning to skip the 20-year anniversary of the fall of Communism. He was personally invited by German Chancellor Merkel to attend the festivities in Berlin.
Such an occasion would provide the president with an opportunity to bask in the glory of America’s success in bringing an end to Communism, since he’s done nothing but apologize for his country since taking office.
Of course, when you have as many Reds in your administration as Obama does it’s kind of difficult to celebrate.
The Nobel Peace Prize: For The Fungus Amongus
It was bad enough when Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize for phony global warming, but at least he accomplished something. He convinced the world of something that isn’t real — that takes talent.
Barack Obama on the other hand has accomplished nothing. He accomplished nothing before becoming president and has accomplished nothing sense. He won the award because he speaks the exact same language most Europeans speak — the language of appeasement.
He won the award because the world knows he’s a weak leader who won’t make trouble. He’s a pushover which is exactly how Europe likes the American president to be.
Barack Obama is in good company though. Yasser Arafat, Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, and now Barack Obama! Well done, sir.
Obama Team Ends Freedom Of Speech At UN
From The Weekly Standard:
The Obama administration has marked its first foray into the UN human rights establishment by backing calls for limits on freedom of expression. The newly-minted American policy was rolled out at the latest session of the UN Human Rights Council, which ended in Geneva on Friday. American diplomats were there for the first time as full Council members and intent on making friends.
President Obama chose to join the Council despite the fact that the Organization of the Islamic Conference holds the balance of power and human rights abusers are among its lead actors, including China, Cuba, and Saudi Arabia. Islamic states quickly interpreted the president’s penchant for "engagement" as meaning fundamental rights were now up for grabs. Few would have predicted, however, that the shift would begin with America’s most treasured freedom.
For more than a decade, a UN resolution on the freedom of expression was shepherded through the Council, and the now defunct Commission on Human Rights which it replaced, by Canada. Over the years, Canada tried mightily to garner consensus on certain minimum standards, but the "reformed" Council changed the distribution of seats on the UN’s lead human rights body. In 2008, against the backdrop of the publication of images of Mohammed in a Danish newspaper, Cuba and various Islamic countries destroyed the consensus and rammed through an amendment which introduced a limit on any speech they claimed was an "abuse . . . [that] constitutes an act of racial or religious discrimination."
The Obama administration decided that a revamped
freedom of expression resolution, extracted from Canadian hands, would be an ideal emblem for its new engagement policy. So it cosponsored a resolution on the subject with none other than Egypt–a country characterized by an absence of freedom of expression.
Privately, other Western governments were taken aback and watched the weeks of negotiations with dismay as it became clear that American negotiators wanted consensus at all costs.
There really are no words to describe what an utter disgrace our president is. The U.S. backed a resolution limiting any speech which is deemed “an act of racial or religious discrimination” — which means any speech critical of Islam.
We’re now partnered with the Islamic police state of Egypt in limiting freedom of speech and partnered with all the Marxist regimes in South America against democracy in Honduras. Wow, and we thought Jimmy Carter was a dumbass.
The fact that we would join a “human rights council” composed of tyrants, dictators, and police states is itself an insult.
Barack Obama is the most repugnant man to ever lead our nation. The American people will rue the day they put him in office.
Gen. Petraeus Diagnosed With Prostate Cancer
From The NY Times:
Gen. David H. Petraeus, the commander of American military forces in the Middle East, received a diagnosis of early-stage prostate cancer in February but has undergone “successful” radiation treatment to deal with the illness, according to a statement issued late Monday.
General Petraeus, 56, who as head of the United States Central Command oversees operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, underwent two months of radiation treatment at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, which had “minimal impact on his work schedule,” according to the statement.
Fortunately, they caught it early. It sounds like he’s going to be alright. Thank God for that.
Jimmy Carter Opens His Dumb Mouth Again
Not satisfied with accusing everyone who disagrees with President Obama of being racist, the idiot from Plains spoke out yet again — this time from Columbia.
Carter told a Columbian newspaper that he believed the Bush administration was behind the coup against Hugo Chavez in 2002 in Venezuela.
“I think there is no doubt that in 2002, the United States had at the very least full knowledge about the coup, and could even have been directly involved.”
As usual, Jimmy offered no proof or supporting evidence of his latest charges. This from easily our worst president ever or certainly of the 20th century.
US Strikes Al Qaeda Target In Somalia, Most Wanted Terrorist Killed
From ABC News:
A U.S. commando attack in Somalia has killed an al Qaeda operative who is on the FBI’s list of most wanted terrorists, sources tell ABC News.
The dead terrorist, Saleh Ali Nabhan, is believed to have taken part in the 1998 attacks on U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. He is also believed to have orchestrated the 2002 bombing of a resort hotel in Mombasa, Kenya, and a failed missile attack on an Israeli airliner leaving Mombasa airport.
Several sources tell ABC News at least one U.S. helicopter fired on a convoy carrying suspected al Qaeda targets in southern Somalia. An American official says a U.S. Navy ship was also nearby to monitor the situation and provide assistance if needed.
Ali Nabhan’s death has not yet been officially confirmed, but sources tell ABC News that his body is now in U.S. custody.
Ali Nabhan, a 28-year-old Kenyan, is on the FBI’s most wanted list for terrorist activities such as the resort and missile attacks as well as participation in the 1998 attack on the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
An internal U.S. government report described to ABC News details Ali Nabhan’s efforts in Somalia as a top al Qaeda officer in East Africa. The report claims that Ali Nabhan ran training camps in Somalia for foreign fighters, including some Americans of Somali descent. Some of the graduates of these terror camps have been tied to attacks and threats around the globe, the report states.
According to one source, U.S. military helicopters attacked suspected al Qaeda elements traveling south of Mogadishu and killed all the occupants of the convoy. Initial reports say the U.S. choppers landed on the scene and took the bodies with them. Ali Nabhan’s body was among the causalities, the source said.
A U.S. official confirms that Ali Nabhan’s body was recovered by the attacking U.S. forces.
That was a gutsy move on our part. Major kudos to President Obama for having the stones to approve a mission like that. It sounds like our special ops guys once again performed flawlessly.
Ted Kennedy Has Died
From the AP:
Massachusetts Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the liberal lion of the Senate, has died after battling a brain tumor. He was 77.
Kennedy’s family announced his death in a brief statement released early Wednesday.
…Kennedy was elected to the Senate in 1962, when his brother John was president, and served longer than all but two senators in history.
Even though I disagreed with pretty much everything Sen. Kennedy stood for politically, I am sad to see him go. His family will be in my prayers.
