Fox News Team Kidnapped

2006-08-14T16:45:00.000-04:00

Two Fox News journalists have been captured in Gaza. While Fox News is not specifically stating names, Michelle Malkin has them listed as Steve Centanni and a cameraman from New Zealand. Our hearts and prayers go out to the families of the two journalists and we are praying for a safe return. God Bless.

Cease-Fire in Effect

2006-08-14T01:28:00.000-04:00

As of 1 a.m., the Cease-Fire has taken effect.

T-1 Hour Till Ceasefire

2006-08-14T00:02:00.000-04:00

It's T -1 Hour until the apparent Cease-Fire in the Israeli-Lebanon Conflict. One question still lingers. Will it work? In my personal opinion, no. Hezbollah is not Lebanon and is a terrorist organization. I see in the future, hope not however, Hezbollah breaking the cease-fire or using it to rearm, attacking Israel and Israel having to defend itself again. Coverage will Continue throughout today.

The Cease-fire is scheduled to begin at 1 a.m. US Eastern Time.

Israel will Hault fighting, Will Hezbollah?

2006-08-12T15:18:00.000-04:00

The Associated Press is reporting that Israel will stop attacks on Monday at 7am local time, Midnight on Sunday EST. The question lingers, Will Hezbollah concurr? Hezbollah has already said that it won't stop attacks until Israel has completely withdrawn. Which leaves some issues.

Israel can't just teleport its troops and equipment out.
The UN forces are supposed to come in as Israel is leaving.
The UN forces can't be there for several weeks, some report.

So, if Israel stops firing, but has to keep its troop there until the UN gets there, will Hezbollah keep attacking them. Maybe. Now of course if Hezbollah keeps attacking Israel, Israel will be expected to maintain their part of the cease-fire. So, will Israel have to stay defenseless? Of course, if Israel tried to defend itself again, it would be frowned upon again, to say the least. So, yes ladies and gentlemen. The terrorists appear to have won. I think Condoleeza Rice has to go. Can you say resignation. She apparently couldn't keep her hand down at the S.C. Meeting. Resolution 1701, is a joke.

Resolution 1701 Passed. Will it work?

2006-08-11T23:48:00.000-04:00

Well, the UN Security Council unanimously passed Resolution 1701, which calls for an Israeli cease-fire. The Resolution permits an internation force of UP TO 15,ooo troops to assist the Lebanes military, to attempt to take control away from Hezbollah. It also requires Israel to withdraw from Southern Lebanon. It calls for the need for an "unconditional release" of the two Israeli soldiers captured on July 12, however does not make a direct demand for their freedom. 1701 does not state under which chapter of UN policy the force will be deployed on. The UN force, known as UNIFIL will be in charge of enforcing the cease-fire. Please note the UNIFIL flag flying under the Hezbollah flag, at left.

So the question appears to be, will this surrender, sorry, resolution work? A similar resolution was passed years ago, 1559. Under it, Hezbollah was supposed to be disarmed. Obviously, they never were. With word of the passing flowing around the net, people are already skeptical about it, and saying that Olmert has failed Israel and the United States. So, do you think this will work? It will remain to be seen.

Brrr.

2006-08-11T14:35:00.000-04:00

What a lovely picture:

Whacko, meet whacko, and of course, you know whacko. Ned Lamont, by the way, called a town that he would represent if elected to Congress, "where the forces of slime meet the forces of evil." because they used their Democratic right to choice who they want to represent them, and they decided to choose Joe Lieberman. But, you know some liberals. You choose what they want or you are a racist, or slimy, or something along those lines. FINALLY after much criticism, his campaign manager said he will send an apology to the mayor of Waterbury for describing the city that way. Boy, he's off to a good start. Calling people he'll represent, "slimy". Hmmm. I hope the people who voted for him are happy with their choice.

Welcome to Cindyland.

2006-08-11T12:52:00.000-04:00

According to the Seatle Post-Intelligencer,
Cindy Sheehan has plans on what she is going to do with the land she purchased, with her son's life insurance money, in Texas. It is to serve as a refuge for deserters. That's right. It will serve as a haven for people who signed up for the military, as there is no draft, and refuse to join their fellow soldiers to fight in Iraq. Now, last time I checked aiding and hiding deserters, is illegal. Maybe Sheehan figures, hey I've already got 2 arrests at least under my belt, what the heck. No longer is Sheehan just a nasty little mosquito, but an aid to those who are breaking the law. I'll bet you no one will go after her or the deserters, and she will continue to complain. So, as of this moment, I will call her plot of land in Texas, where she plans to help deserters, Cindyland.

Ahhhh!

2006-08-11T11:47:00.000-04:00

That's all I can say about today.

America is One Large Petition Ground

2006-08-11T09:37:00.000-04:00

Ok. I see how illegal aliens, terrorist sympathizers and more see the United States. As one large protest/petition ground. They actually come to the United States, to complain about the United States. They don't have the balls to protest in their own countries, so they come to the US where they know people have the right to protest, where they know they will have support from their fellow nuts, meanwhile using the US healthcare and more. That's it! By jove, I've got it.

Seriously, I'm damn tired of hearing people protesting IN FAVOR of the same terrorist blowing up our nation and allies, on the very streets I helped pay for and using the same services I pay tax dollars for. Just like illegal aliens. They come here, use us, then complain we aren't welcoming enough, and fly Mexican flags in the street praising their government officials. Umm, HELLO! If it's so great there, GO HOME. I swear, so many people can not honestly say that they have a brain in their head.

CNN INT Worse

2006-08-10T12:54:00.000-04:00

The only thing worse than CNN, is CNN International. They, themselves, appear to be the "Most Trusted Name in Sob Stories". Nevermind the fact that when reporting, they look like they are having a stroke seizure. The one reporter moves her entire torso and stands on her toes, on every other beat. As for the rest of them, can they be any more dramatic? Atleast CNN pretends to present both sides of the conflict, not only the regular "poor terrorist" side. CNN Internation, doesn't even pretend. They just come out and tell you how bad it is for Lebanon, and how bad Israel is.

Massive Terror Plot Failed

2006-08-10T08:40:00.000-04:00

A Massive Terror Plot was thwarted after British police said they had arrested more than 20 suspects in a major terrorist plot to blow up passenger jets flying between the United Kingdom and the United States. CNN is reporting that, "The foiled plot was "intended to be mass murder on an unimaginable scale," London's Metropolitan Police Deputy Commissioner Paul Stephenson said."

The terrorthreat was raised to its highest level since 9/11, Severe or Red. Until further notice, NO LIQUIDS will be permitted on US flights, and No Carry On will be permitted on British flights.

Rhandi Rhodes on Larry King

2006-08-10T00:30:00.000-04:00

I learned several things from watching Larry King, this evening. Number one, Rhandi Rhodes can not SHUT UP. Even when Larry asked her to be quiet for a moment, she ignored him and continued with her diarreha of the mouth. She spent the whole time defending Lebanon, even saying that Lebanon should be rewarded. She said that this war won't get rid of terrorists. Umm, where the hell has she been? Their asses are getting blown up. It appears to be her opinion that you can negotiate with a terrorist organization.

Neil, her opposite, told Larry King, while she was still talking, that he should know that Rhandi Rhodes doesn't care if you're talking. Rhandi, a few simple rules. 1. SHUT UP WHEN THE HOST TELLS YOU TO. 2. Don't keep talking over the guy giving you a chance to get your opinion out there. Her opposite had almost NO time to express his opinion. She hijacked the interview.

She also said something surprising. She asked why the President "Cut and Run from Afghanistan". Wow, this from the Cut and Run party itself. So, basically, I learned that Rhandi Rhodes is the most obnoxious person yet.

Time to Stand Up For Israel

2006-08-09T23:54:00.000-04:00

Israelis are once again getting attacked by the media, being considered the "big bad guys" for fighting back against terrorist attacks against its country. In the style of Gordon Sinclair, I say, This American thinks its time to stand up for the Israelis, as possibly our strongest ally and a country defending itself.

The Liberal Media does nothing all day long now, but attack Israel and President Bush. Israel is made out to be the big bad guy, no matter where you look. When Hezbollah shoots missiles at Israel, the headline reads something like "Hezbollah Rockets Fall On (Enter City Name Here), Casualty Rate Not Expected to be High". If Israeli missiles hit Lebanon, its something along the lines of "Israeli Missiles Strike Lebanon, Killing (some number) and wounding (some number). It was only this week, that it was discovered by a blogger that a major news organization, to remain nameless, printed manipulated images by a Lebanese photographer, attempting to make the damage by the Israelis, look worse. Did that major organization apologize for trying to pull one over the publics' eyes? No, it gave excuses and fired the photographer.

Most People in Lebanon, never consider the fact that Hezbollah attacked Israel and kidnapped 2 soldiers starting this conflict. They never think of the fact that Hezbollah is using them as human shields. It never crosses their minds. They simply pledge their loyalty to the same organization responsible for their deaths. Then, they call out on Liberal cameras about how their are innocent civilians getting bombed. Really? You mean like what happened to Israel?

The mainstream media, is also stupid enough to believe these Hezbollah terrorists. They take terrorists' words as a legal binding contract. They talk about how Hezbollah promises to withdraw or stop the attacks, if Israel does. Umm, morons, THEY ARE TERRORISTS! They attacked and kidnapped two of Israel's soldiers on Israeli soil. They aren't honest. Some Americans believe them too. Many people can only see one side, the Lebanese. They can't see the Israeli side, and never will. Just remember one thing, Israel isn't the one saying "Death to America", Hezbollah and Lebanon is. I am one American, who is proud to say "I support Israel" and I don't give a damn if anyone doesn't like it.

I can't, Just Can't, Give a Damn

2006-08-09T23:46:00.000-04:00

CNN, and others attempt to make you feel bad for civilians. And I did. Originally. Then, though being attacked by Israel, they chant again and again "Death to America". Then at that moment, I just could no longer give a damn. The only group isolated from my non-caring feeling, are babies. Babies are dying on both sides, yet the media is only interested in presenting those dying in Lebanon. However, that's besides the point. While there are many in Israel and the United States who feel for those in Lebanon and some who feel this should be ended, these "innocent civilians" presented by the media, don't give a damn. Their reaction is "Death to America". They would be pleased to kill you or me. Yet, I should still feel bad for them. I'm also damned tired of hearing "we have to be the better people". I was willing to, but it is now made impossible. We are nice to people. Their reaction? They attack us. We are nice, yet again. Their reaction? They attack us, again. Should we just keep getting hit in the face, and getting up to get hit again? Many people think we should. So, I just can't give a damn, anymore. I'm sorry.

Nuts in Lebanon

2006-08-09T15:21:00.000-04:00

Strange title, but yes. Nuts in Lebanon. Peace activists from the United States and Europe are heading to Lebanon to go to Hezbollah strong holds, to protect the areas and bring attention to the "plight of civilians. Aww. The poor little terrorists.

The United States JUST gets everyone out, and then these nutjobs have to go in! Of course, you know as well as I that they'll realize how dangerous it is with the aerial bombardment, not be able to get out, then expect the US to evacuate them. Then, when the US isn't knocking down the door to come to their rescue, the moment they call the embassy, they will complain and criticize the government. Who will end up paying for their evacuation, because the notjobs have to go and be a human shield for terrorists? You and me. American taxpayers. Then they'll complain about something we did.

Yahoo News has the story.

S.O.B of the Day

2006-08-09T09:46:00.000-04:00

That's Right, you know what time it is. Ok, maybe you don't. I've never done it before. Anyway, not important.

It's time to announce today's S.O.B. . And it's someone you know. Ladies and Gentlemen give it up for the S.O.B of the Day:

Ned Lamont
Photo Copyright Associated Press

That's right you know him well. He's the S.O.B.
who beat out Lieberman for the Democratic Connecticut nomination, with a margin of about 4% and is flaunting it as a landslide. He may have rose to fame for you, after Lieberman's running website went down coincidentally on the day of the election. Lamont's was still up running. So, if you went to any political websites for that district yesterday, it was almost surely Lamont's. Lamont's people are also the ones accusing Lieberman of having a $15 a month webhosting plan and saying his "website probably went down because he forgot to pay the bill".

Well that wraps up this segment of the S.O.B. of the Day. Please join us again tomorrow, as we announce the new S.O.B of the Day. Or possibly even later on today, if we have a co-S.O.B. of the Day.

McKinney has lost runoff

2006-08-09T00:21:00.000-04:00

Cynthia McKinney, the Georgia Congersswoman known well for her 9/11 conspiracy theories and her scuffle with Capitol Hill police, has lost the runoff election for the Democratic nomination, according to the Associated Press.

McKinney lost to Hank Johnson, a former country commissioner and attorney. McKinney lost by more than 11,000 votes. Johnson took about 59% of the vote.

My opinion: Good Luck and Good Riddance to McKinney.

Good Morning and Hello

2006-08-09T00:10:00.000-04:00

Good Morning. Our coverage of what has being coined "Reutergate" will continue today, and take a look at the New York Times photos. Plus, news that developed overnight. Joe Lieberman lost the bid for Democratic runner, but is expected to run Independent. Plus, where did those eleven egyptian students go? They never showed up for class in the US, but did arrive in JFK. Where are they now? The university that is supposed to be hosting them, says that they probably were more interested in the Big Apple, but the Federal Bureau of Investigation has told local authorities to be on the look out. With their student visas terminated, will they ever show up? See you later on.
