			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The NY Times <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/16/world/asia/16intel.html?emc=na&amp;pagewanted=print" target="_blank">is reporting</a> that CIA and Pakistan intelligence agents raided the hideout of the Taliban’s number two man &#8212; and took him alive.</p>
<p>Mullah Abdul Ghani Barader is currently in Pakistani custody and is the most important terrorist we’ve captured in some time. This is the guy who works directly for reclusive Taliban leader Mullah Omar.</p>
<p>As <a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2010/02/15/bombshell-cia-pakistan-capture-talibans-number-two/comment-page-2/#comment-3264936" target="_blank">others have said</a>, the fact that Pakistani intel worked so closely with us to apprehend a guy they could have gotten all along signals a new and more robust cooperation. Maybe Pakistan has finally come to the realization that the Taliban wants to topple the government of Pakistan as much as it does the one in Afghanistan.</p>
<p>The biggest concern I had when I first heard about this was with the interrogation. Since Obama took all the interrogation tools that mean anything off the table, we’ll have to just hope he feels like talking &#8212; which isn’t likely.</p>
<p>However, I’m heartened to learn that he remain in Pakistani custody where he’s being interrogated by both Pakistani and US agents.</p>
<p>That means when our sweet talk doesn’t work we can just walk out of the room for an hour or so and let the ISI agents work him over a little bit.</p>
<p>The irony here is that Obama and his ACLU cronies are merely outsourcing enhanced interrogation to a third country. Only it’s not “enhanced interrogation” in Pakistan &#8212; it’s actual torture. Barader will be praying to Allah that he’s sent to a humane facility like Gitmo.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, the important thing is that he’ll be made to talk one way or the other, and we can be thankful for that. The information that’s locked away inside Mullah Abdul Ghani Barader could well be what ultimately wins the war in Afghanistan.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Muslims are a lot like trained dogs. Instead of blowing a whistle you just draw a cartoon and they fly into a psychotic homicidal rage.</p>
<p>A <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2010/02/12/not-again-another-mohammed-cartoon-conflagration/" target="_blank">crude drawing</a> of the nutty Prophet Mohammed as a pig was posted on Facebook and reprinted in a Norwegian newspaper today. Right on cue outraged Muslims took to the streets on Oslo in protest &#8212; more than 2,000 of them. On Facebook the image attracted thousands of comments from angry Muslims including the usual fatwas and calls for beheadings, etc.</p>
<p>I appreciate that Muslims don&#8217;t like cartoons that offend their religion, but their religion offends me. Fortunately, I live in America and I can post anything I want, say anything I want, and draw anything I want &#8212; including Mohammed.</p>

<p>As I was reading Humberto Fontova’s excellent piece on <a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/hfontova/2010/02/12/castro-catches-useful-idiot-celebs-on-candid-camera/" target="_blank">Big Hollywood</a> about Castro spying on the celebrities who love him, an interesting side note caught my attention that I was unaware of.</p>
<p>Supermodel Naomi Campbell is allegedly dating Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez. <a href="http://www.wired.com/beyond_the_beyond/2008/01/naomi-campbell/" target="_blank">Wired</a> has a blurb about it along with media outlets in Italy and elsewhere.</p>
<p>Campbell apparently fell for Chavez while on a trip to Venezuela with other useful idiots from Hollywood to show support for the regime.</p>
<p>I’m anxious to see how Hugo reacts the first time she tries to take his head off with a cell phone. It really is amazing to what degree Hollywood assholes have an obsession with Communism and brutal dictators.</p>
<p>The people who shill for gay marriage and abortion and who profess to be the most tolerant among us are infatuated with the least tolerant among us. Chavez has been outspoken about his dislike of gays who his henchman routinely arrest and beat. Chavez also has a disdain for Jews which he’s made no secret of.</p>
<p>Naomi Campbell has always been a little unstable kind of like her new boyfriend. But she’s clearly one sick puppy to be dating a monster like that.</p>

<p>It was only one month ago that a fabulous bronze statue was unveiled in Jakarta, Indonesia of President Obama. The statue of “<a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hFv1KDPbvngI1hk4Y8UFGhAJkDpg" target="_blank">Little Barry</a>” depicts Obama as a young boy when he lived in Indonesia for four years.</p>
<p>Now, there is growing discontent with the statue and some are calling for its removal or relocation.</p>
<p>More than 55,000 people have joined a Facebook page demanding the government take down the statue.</p>
<blockquote><p>Members of the &quot;Take Down the Barack Obama Statue in Menteng Park&quot; group on Facebook say Obama has done nothing for Indonesia.</p>
<p>&quot;Barack Obama has yet to make a significant contribution to the Indonesian nation. We could say Obama only ate and s (expletive) in Menteng. He spent his subsequent days living as an American,&quot; the web page says.</p>
<p>&quot;For the dignity of a sovereign nation, Barack Obama&#8217;s monument in Menteng Park must be removed immediately.&quot;</p>
<p>The childhood connection and his knowledge of a few words of Indonesian made Obama popular in the mainly Muslim country of 234 million people.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I’m just wondering what exactly they thought Barry was going to do for them. It really is amazing how much phony hype there was surrounding Barack Obama when he became president.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.breitbart.com/print.php?id=D9D1LLU02&amp;show_article=1" target="_blank">This</a> is what happens when a country gives up its sovereignty to international leftist organizations like the UN:</p>
<blockquote><p>JERUSALEM (AP) &#8211; A group of Israeli military officers called off an official visit to Britain last week, fearing they could face arrest on war crimes charges, officials said Tuesday. </p>
<p>The four unidentified officers, holding ranks from major to colonel, are the latest in a string of Israeli politicians and military officials forced to call off travel to Britain over fears of legal prosecution relating to last year&#8217;s offensive on the Gaza Strip. </p>
<p>Britain is one of the European pioneers of universal jurisdiction, a broad legal concept that empowers judges to issue arrest warrants for nearly any visitor accused of committing war crimes anywhere in the world. </p>
<p>Pro-Palestinian activists have sought to use this concept to press charges against Israelis involved in military operations in Palestinian territories, particularly since last year&#8217;s Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip. British officials have vowed to change the law. </p>
</blockquote>
<p>When are the good people of the UK going to wake up and realize that radical leftists and political correctness is literally destroying their society? What a disgrace that Israeli military officials cannot travel freely throughout Europe and the UK for fear of prosecution.</p>
<p>The murdering dogs (aka Palestinians) are using the UK justice system and the phony leftist concept of “universal jurisdiction” to prosecute Israelis for simply defending themselves.</p>
<p>The lengths to which the Israelis go to keep from killing innocent civilians in Gaza and throughout the territories is unprecedented in modern warfare.</p>
<p>The Gaza Strip is one of the most congested pieces of real estate on earth. It’s an urban jungle with human beings packed in like sardines.</p>
<p>The Israeli offensive in Gaza that took place early last year went on for three weeks and was broadcast live around the world. We watched Israeli jets bomb the hell out of Hamas positions and target terrorist leaders with Apache helicopters. Israel acted decisively and with overwhelming force while fully respecting the laws of war.</p>
<p>An <a href="http://dover.idf.il/IDF/English/News/today/09/03/2602.htm" target="_blank">extensive investigation</a> by the IDF put the number of Palestinians killed at around 1,166 &#8212; 709 of which were Hamas combatants or other militants. 162 deaths were inconclusive and 295 civilians were killed.</p>
<p>It’s absolutely stunning that the Israelis were able to drop thousands of pounds of ordinance in a dense urban environment and only kill 295 civilians. It speaks to the skill of Israeli pilots and the careful planning by their commanders. They don’t drop unless they know what they’re hitting.</p>
<p>For critics of Israel (of which they are many) to howl about war crimes when it’s clear Israel went above and beyond to protect civilian life is an outrage.</p>
<p>Hamas on the other hand follows no rules of war whatsoever. They deliberately target Israeli civilians with rocket attacks, suicide bombings, and kidnappings. Men, women, and children are all fair game at any time day or night.</p>
<p>The fact that critics of Israel decry supposed war crimes by The Jewish State, but ignore actual war crimes by Palestinians proves this is more about hating Jews than hating war crimes.</p>

It has to be particularly difficult to be of a mixed race in China, because there aren’t really any other races in China (in any significant numbers) &#8212; and there damn sure aren’t any black people.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Iranian military has crossed over the Iraqi border, <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20091218/wl_afp/iraqiranoilborder_20091218153543" target="_blank">seized an Iraqi oil</a> well, and hoisted the Iranian flag above it. When I say Iraq, I’m of course talking about that country in the Middle East formerly ruled by Saddam Hussein and currently home to more than 100,000 U.S. troops.</p>
<blockquote><p>Iranian forces took control of a southern Iraqi oil well on a disputed section of the border on Friday, US and Iraqi officials told AFP.</p>
<p>An official of the state-owned South Oil Co in the southeastern city of Amara, and west of the field, said: &quot;An Iranian force arrived at the field early this morning (Friday).</p>
<p>&quot;It took control of Well 4 and raised the Iranian flag even though the well lies in Iraqi territory,&quot; the official added.</p>
<p>&quot;An oil ministry delegation is to travel to the area on Saturday to assess the situation.&quot;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The article goes to quote an official from the U.S. military who says this is normal and happens all the time, nothing to see here.</p>
<blockquote><p>The field is about 500 metres (yards) from an Iranian border fort and about 1 kilometre from an Iraqi border fort, US Colonel Peter Newell said, adding that it falls on the Iraqi side of a border agreed between the two countries.</p>
<p>There are five other similar fields that also fall into disputed territory, he said.</p>
<p>&quot;What happens is, periodically, about every three or four months, the oil ministry guys from Iraq will go &#8230; to fix something or do some maintenance. They&#8217;ll paint it in Iraqi colours and throw an Iraqi flag up.</p>
<p>&quot;They&#8217;ll hang out there for a while, until they get tired, and as soon as they go away, the Iranians come down the hill and paint it Iranian colours and raise an Iranian flag. It happened about three months ago and it will probably happen again.&quot;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>It’s understandable that The Pentagon would downplay this and pretend it’s no big deal, but I don’t buy it.</p>
<p>Oil is the most precious resource in Iraq. It’s the lifeblood of their economy. I find it difficult to believe that the sovereign nation of Iraq protected by U.S. forces allowed Iran to walk across the border and seize an oil well. But, it looks like that’s exactly what happened. How can that be? Did the Obama administration order our forces to stand down and allow the seizure to take place?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thehotjoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Knife.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="Knife" border="0" alt="Knife thumb Colombian Farmer Castrates Himself So He Won&rsquo;t Cheat" src="http://www.thehotjoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Knife_thumb.jpg" width="318" height="226" /></a> </p>
<p>This story makes me cringe just thinking about it. It’s pretty much the worst thing I can imagine as a man.</p>
<p>Luis Alfonso Sanchez, a Colombian farmer, made the decision to <a href="http://itn.co.uk/422b28796478775fcd8b58e2773c6e38.html" target="_blank">castrate himself</a> to avoid cheating on his wife &#8212; who refused to sleep with him.</p>
<p>Sanchez says he’s performed dozens of castrations in the past on pigs, cats, dogs, and they usually heal up in a couple of days. So, he figured it would…be the same…on himself.</p>
<p>Click <a href="http://itn.co.uk/422b28796478775fcd8b58e2773c6e38.html" target="_blank">here</a> to watch him explain it &#8212; if you can.</p>
<p>It’s inconceivable to me as a man how self-castration could ever be considered the solution to anything. This dumbass farmer doesn’t have any idea what he’s done to himself. </p>
<p>He may not have been getting any action before, but he’s made it a certainty that his wife will <u>never</u> sleep with him again.</p>
