Probably not true, but if it is: Watch out, Iran! You're next.

US Air Force struck Syrian nuclear site

The September 6 raid over Syria was carried out by the US Air Force, the Al-Jazeera Web site reported Friday. The Web site quoted Israeli and Arab sources as saying that two strategic US jets armed with tactical nuclear weapons carried out an attack on a nuclear site under construction.

The sources were quoted as saying that Israeli F-15 and F-16 jets provided cover for the US planes.

The sources added that each US plane carried one tactical nuclear weapon and that the site was hit by one bomb and was totally destroyed.

This , will give the Liberals the yarbles to pull the plug . The dream is over Conservatives....sniff .

It appears to me that research into "global dimming" and related phenomena has at least generated some hard data and a less simplistic view than the monomaniacal obsession with CO2 emissions promulgated by Al Gore and Kyoto.

Israeli researchers focus on 'an inconvenient truth'

"Aerosols have always been emitted in the atmosphere. But since humans have been emitting smoke, gases, sulphites and carbon, by a much larger order of magnitude, the properties of clouds have changed, and there are more droplets with a different size distribution. This creates a different chain of feedback to the eco-system," he added.

...

"Within a pristine environment, an ocean-covering cloud would have 200 droplets per cubic centimeter. In a polluted environment, it could have 2,000 in the same cubic centimeter," said Koren.

"The cloud will live longer, precipitate less, and give less solar reflection: this will affect the water budget and the energy budget of the atmosphere."

Having studied clouds in the Amazon for 20 years, Koren has found, and is publishing the evidence, that increased biomass burning is damaging the natural cloud cover over the region, loading up the clouds with smoke pollutant, and changing the annual precipitation patterns. Within the period 2000 and 2005, biomass burning increased 50% overall.

"The initial negative reception to "Lions for Lambs" - the first movie to come out under Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner's resurrected United Artists label - could harm parent studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's own attempts to raise money for film productions.

MGM had enlisted Goldman Sachs to raise between $500 million and $1 billion before the credit markets crashed this summer, and several sources confirmed that while the credit markets are still tight, the investment bank is again making the rounds for MGM.

But with "Lions for Lambs" - which also stars Robert Redford and Meryl Streep - so far tracking the worst among audiences for any Cruise movie to date, the Nov. 9 release of the film is bound to dampen enthusiasm for MGM's fund. "

"The latest is his flip-flops over the GST cut. On Monday he said he would oppose a GST cut. On Tuesday, he said he wouldn't vote against. On Wednesday, he said that in government he would consider raising it to six per cent again.

Thus, the leader of the party that opposed the introduction of the GST, and promised to abolish it in government, now supports it, opposes its reduction, but refuses to vote against it, and promises to raise it again.

Portrait of a leader in deep, deep trouble."

Bill D. Cat: yeah, right, whatever.

Now the Opposition is howling for the Harper government to go to bat for a Canadian convicted in the state of Montana of murdering two young men twenty five years ago, shot them in the backs of their heads when they picked him up as a hitchhiker.

Now let's look back at the what the Liberals did in another case of a Canadian convicted of murder in the state of Texas, they did nothing either.
Now they're trying to say Harper has a hidden agenda on the Death Penalty?
This is about as rich as it gets folks, Liberals are so tied they have no where to turn on anything. However, keep reading the Toronto Star and Globe, they'll try to get this one going in another desperate attempt to breath life into the Liberals.

A TALE OF TWO STORIES

On Sunday, The Province quoted federal Liberal parliamentarian Blair Wilson's former campaign manager making a number of undocumented allegations against the MP. But, in a two-year-old interview with 24 hours' Public Eye, Elizabeth Wood actually denied the truthfulness of one of those allegations.

In The Province, Wood recounts a meeting between herself, her successor Guillio Vilas, Wilson and prospective official agent Wayne Rowe during the 2005-06 election.

According to the newspaper, "as she left [Rowe's] office she was asked to get into the van Wilson was driving. While he sat in front, she says, Vilas paid her a month and a half's salary she was owed in cash. She alleges he also asked 'what else she wanted' before she got out."

But, in a taped interview Jan. 17, 2006, with 24 hours' Public Eye, Wood told a somewhat different story. Asked whether an incident similar to the one described in The Province happened, Wood said, "That sounds very skulduggery. No."

And questioned if she had ever been presented with an "envelope of money in a van or outside a van or anywhere near a van," Wood responded, "No. No. I was paid by the month by cheque by the party through the riding association. And I was paid $1,000 a month."

Wood hasn't responded to a phone call requesting clarification.

Commenting on Wood's accusations, Wilson told The Province, "This is the first time that I have heard anything to this respect at all and it is a complete fabrication and unproven."

In an earlier interview with 24 hours' Public Eye, Villas also denied the accusation. ...-

CANADA RATES WORST ON HEALTH-CARE WAITING TIMES

Canada has the worst rating in a new study of health care in seven countries when it comes to wait times for seeing doctors and getting elective surgery, according to the Commonwealth Fund.

According to the Fund:

* Only 22 percent of Canadians surveyed say they could get a same-day appointment when they're sick.
* 30 percent -- by far the highest among the countries -- say they had to wait six days or more.
* Some 15 percent reported waits of six months or more for non-emergency surgery.
* Two-thirds reported having a lot of difficulty getting care at night, on weekends or holidays.

*Origins of the Sponsorship Scandal
From allegations of conflict of interest to the creation of the Gomery Commission
Minister Gagliano & Allegations of Conflict of Interest

The Sponsorship Scandal began with allegations of conflict of interest in the management of federal sponsorships. In 2000, Alfonso Gagliano, then Minister of Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), and also the minister responsible for the Sponsorship Program, came under fire when it was revealed that sponsorship contracts had been awarded to advertising firms that had sub-contracted their printing business to a company linked to Gagliano’s son. Opposition parties called for Gagliano’s resignation, suggesting that it was inappropriate for a cabinet minister to be overseeing government contracts that benefited his family.

The Federal Ethics Counsellor, Howard Wilson, later cleared Gagliano of breaking any conflict of interest rules. However, in January 2002, Prime Minister Chrétien shuffled Gagliano out of the federal cabinet and appointed him ambassador to Denmark. Prime Minister Paul Martin later revoked Gagliano’s ambassadorship in 2004 following the release of the Auditor General’s Report on the Sponsorship Program. ...-

This has to be a first ever Halloween snub for the kids of all ages who like to visit the VIP houses on all Hallows Eve.

Dinosaur, I'm not sure most Canadians want the death penalty, though I'm sure you're right v.v. Clifford Olson. In any event, this is loser issue for the left. Joe and Mary sixpack likely could care less if some multiple murderer, who happens to be Canadian, is executed in US. Liberals should be careful what they wish for (ie) a debate on the merits of capital punishment. No matter what, hardly a resonant issue, and quite a stretch to argue that "Canadians values" mean we want this man's life spared. I always get a laugh from the likes of Jack Layton who often spouts off about "what Canadians want," when they poll around 15% of decided voters.

The disqualified Conservative Mark Warner apparently called Garth Turner some MONTHS ago complaining that he was not allowed to "speak his own mind" and that the CPC head office was "micro managing his campaign message".

Seems to me that the CPC was absolutely RIGHT to pre-empt having another Garth Turner one man band.

Warner is also a media hound giving HIS opinions instead of the party's policy platform that HE signed up to support. It is like working for Coke and selling Pepsi.

I also undetrstand that there were complaints made that Warner was making somewhat unethical promises to people for political support including promises to intercede in immigration matters.

All no-nos. AND you can bet that the Bob Rae team and the Liberal Toronto media would have used this to CREMATE Warner during a by-election and by inference the entire Conservative party.

Once again, the Conservatives make a tough "unpopular" decision to stave off a fiasco.

Calling Garth Turner should have been the first clue that this guy is not a team player.

Taqiyya isn't just for Muslims, it's for dumbass leftists as well.

From the Times:

"Mrs (Tony) Blair argued that discrimination against women was often due to distortion of the true message of some faiths, usually by male leaders.

She pointed to the way Islamic Sharia law has been interpreted. "It is not laid down in the Koran that women can be beaten by their husbands or that their evidence should be devalued, as it is in some Islamic courts," she said."

Of course, she's either ignorant or an outright liar.

Quran 4:34: “Those women from whom you fear disloyalty, admonish them, refuse to share their beds, scourge (beat) them” (Fr.: frappez-les; G: schlagt sie; Sp.: golpeadlas).

Another person dealing with the same endemic and Quran approved lying:

Heinz Klatt, (professor emeritus of psychology at Kings College, London), in responding to charges “Heinz Klatt looking for reasons to decry the Quran” based on his questioning of Bakhtiar’s translation of the Quran being touted as “woman friendly” and as being from a “woman’s perspective.”

Klatt: "Bakhtiar gives four reasons for her idiosyncratic translation of K4:34 “go away.”

1. Mohammad “was a model for humanity”;
2. Mohammad never beat women, therefore the classical translation of “beating them” cannot be correct;
3. Beating women “goes against both the legal and moral principles of the Quran;”
4. “To beat ... contradicts another verse” in the Quran.

One particular event in Mohammad’s life destroys all her and my critics’ arguments:

Asma bint Marwan was a poetess who wrote couplets deriding her contemporaries for trusting Mohammad.

According to the earliest Muslim sources, Mohammad asked: “Will no one rid me of this daughter of Marwan?” Umayr complied and, at night, broke into the woman’s chamber where she slept surrounded by her children with one of them at her breast. Umayr removed the suckling baby and pierced the mother with his sword. Next morning, in the mosque at prayer, Mohammad asked Umayr:

“Have you murdered the daughter of Marwan?”

“Yes, but tell me now, is there cause for apprehension?”

“None,” said Mohammad, “a couple of goats will hardly knock their heads together for it.”

Mohammad praised him for his services to God and his Prophet. The rest of the family was forced to accept Islam, which reflected Mohammad’s interpretation of the Quranic injunction: K2:256 “Let there be no compulsion in religion.”

It is obvious that Islam needs other reforms than feminist translations of the Quran."

Lorraine, it's more proof the Liberals are in desperation mode while the Conservatives do their homework and do the right thing.

Shamrock, it is passing strange how Jack the Dipper knows exactly what the people of Canada want riding on about 15% in the polls on a good day. Talk about delusions of grandeur!

"It's wonderfully convenient for the Religious Left that Global Warming will be one more urgent reason for adding additional layers to the welfare state. Keeping the poor dependent on government transfer payments is politically useful. Reducing economic growth through climate change regulation will further reduce the poor's ability to escape poverty. Newly empowered people who have escaped their poverty through economic entrepreneurship are always a political threat to the statism of the Religious Left."

The Prime Minister just said at a news scrum that any decisions made about candidates come from the duly elected CPC National Council and he has no involvement with that. He said that they were acting based on feedback they were getting from the GRASS ROOTS.

So, it would appear ALL was NOT ROSY for either of these two candidates with the people in their ridings at the campaign level.

The more people PUSH this story to try to "get to the bottom of it to slam the Conservatives" the more it may hurt both of these gentlemen as they are forced to disclose the dirty laundry that CPC ead Office rightly said was confidential for reasons of their privacy.

So for those saying the "grass roots" are not being listened to it would appear the opposite is true.

Ther Grass Roots wanted them gone.

Along with a course called 'Whiteness Studies' (being promoted at Universities everywhere), the goal of which is to entrench permanent race consciousness in everyone — eternal victimhood for nonwhites, eternal guilt for whites — and was most famously framed by WS chief guru, Noel Ignatiev, former professor at Harvard University, now teaching at the Massachusetts College of Art:

“The key to solving the social problems of our age is to abolish the white race," says he.

From their website:

The white race is a historically constructed social formation. It consists of all those who partake of the privileges of the white skin in this society. Its most wretched members share a status higher, in certain respects, than that of the most exalted persons excluded from it, in return for which they give support to a system that degrades them.

The key to solving the social problems of our age is to abolish the white race, which means no more and no less than abolishing the privileges of white skin. Until that task is accomplished, even partial reform will prove elusive, because white influence permeates every issue, domestic and foreign, in U.S. society.

The existence of the white race depends on the willingness of those assigned to it to place their racial interests above class, gender, or any other interests they hold. The defection of enough of its members to make it unreliable as a predictor of behavior will lead to its collapse.

Race Traitor aims to serve as an intellectual center for those seeking to abolish the white race. It will encourage dissent from the conformity that maintains it and popularize examples of defection from its ranks, analyze the forces that hold it together and those that promise to tear it apart. Part of its task will be to promote debate among abolitionists. When possible, it will support practical measures, guided by the principle Treason to Whiteness Is Loyalty to Humanity..

Mr. Harper shut down Liberal demands for an inquiry when he answered reporters' questions at the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples in Halifax.

“Do they really want to say that I, as Prime Minister, should have a free hand to launch inquiries against my predecessors?” said Mr. Harper, who posited the potential for politically motivated inquiries into former prime minister Jean Chrétien's “interests in various golf courses or hotels” – even though the justice system has already dealt with the matter – or Paul Martin's involvement in Canada Steamship Lines.

Osama, read it and weep
Herald Sun ^ | 2nd November 2007 | Andrew Bolt

THERE is a reason Iraq has almost disappeared as an election issue. Here it is: The battle is actually over. Iraq has been won.

I know this will seem to many of you an insane claim. Ridiculous!

After all, haven't you read countless stories that Iraq is a "disaster", turned by a "civil war" into a "killing field"?

Didn't Labor leader Kevin Rudd, in one of his few campaign references to Iraq, say it was the "greatest . . . national security policy disaster that our country has seen since Vietnam"?

You have. And you have been misled.

Here is just the latest underreported news, out this week.

Just 27 American soldiers were killed in action in Iraq in October -- the lowest monthly figure since March last year. (This is a provisional figure and may alter over the next week.)

The number of Iraqi civilians killed last month -- mostly by Islamist and fascist terrorists -- was around 760, according to Iraqi Government sources. That is still tragically high, but the monthly toll has plummeted since January's grim total of 1990.

What measures of success do critics of Iraq's liberation now demand?

Violence is falling fast. Al Qaida has been crippled. The Shiites, Kurds and Marsh Arabs no longer face genocide.

What's more, the country has stayed unified. The majority now rules. Despite that, minority Sunni leaders are co-operating in government with Shiite ones. There is no civil war. The Kurds have not broken away. Iran has not turned Iraq into its puppet. ...-

Re: Osama, Read It and Weep

A similar report from The Times:

Iraq surge brings hope for a day without death

It is beyond dispute, though, that the tide of violence in Iraq has been stemmed. In a speech to troops in Fort Jackson in South Carolina yesterday, Mr Bush trumpeted the growing co-operation between Sunni and Shia Muslims in fighting al-Qaeda, the dramatic turnaround of Anbar province, and the decline in US military deaths, which he said were at their “lowest for 19 months”.

He said: “The enemy remain determined but what they have learnt about the United States of America is that we are more determined.” In a significantly more upbeat speech than those he delivered earlier this year, Mr Bush declared that this was a “fight we will win”, adding: “Victory starts here.”

...

Since the surge in operations began in June of this year, the number of car bombs has fallen by 65 per cent and casualties from roadside bombs have fallen by 80 per cent.

When a person is beating an animal... Even if you want your camel or donkey to start walking, you are not allowed to beat it in the face. If this is true for animals, it is all the more true when it comes to humans. So beatings should be light and not in the face.

Nobody thinks this is a fringe element of Islamic society. Treating women like animals IS Muslim culture...
