George Washington you remember him,
American children are told, having cut down his father's favorite cherry tree, showed his sterling character by confessing to the deed. An Arab hearing this story, shaking his head
not only fails to see the moral beauty of such behavior but wonders why anyone would ever compromise his integrity by admitting thus his guilt or tree chopping labor.
As to Washington's explanation that "I cannot tell a lie," the Arab asks how a man could rise to the presidency if he were not suave enough to use a well-concocted falsehood as a tactic in emergency behavior.

He does. He and the Democrats were absolutely committed to losing Iraq back in 2004, 2006 and 2008, and they're damned sure going to make sure it happens.

I feel there is a war coming in the Gulf.
Will it be Arab v Persian or Sunni v Shiia?
I see signs it will be the latter.
Iraq allied with Iran is ominous to say the least.

Reading the editorial, I sense the Jooos had the most to gain by waxing Arrigoni.
Just sayin'.

Just your run of the mill arrogant left leaning needy person wanting to feel important and "help"
Stretch and Pancake make a great pair.
Furthering terrorism in the name of helping the oppressed.
The US kicks in more money for Gaza than Saudi Arabia.
If the "palestinian state" is so important to Moslem sensibilities, why don't Saudi Arabia and Kuwait and maybe the dilitantes in the UAE kick in and provide some jobs?

On Thursday a small, Al Qaeda-linked group calling itself Tawhid and Jihad (Monotheism and Holy War) released a video of Arrigoni with a beaten, bloodied face and someone clutching the hair of his head.
They wanted a trade? And then they denied they had anything to do with it. And then they blamed it on the Jews?
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
