Anti-Israel Propaganda Also Anti-American Because It Is All Anti-West

I recently mentioned how quickly a global response against Israel would form should Israel strike Iran. As evidence the reaction to the U.S. air strike against militants has instantly been declared a genocidal act against civilians by Iranian state TV, Houthi rebels, Al Qaeda, left-leaning blogs and news agencies in the U.S., and the opposition party in Yemen. All within 24 hours, and for an incident taking place in Yemen this is way too soon to confirm anything of the status of those killed. Yet, the international and leftist movement in America have already declared this another reason to take away Obama's Nobel Peace Prize.

Should Israel strike Iran this same network of international anti-West media outlets will claim war crimes as well with only the accusations of Hamas, Hezbolla, Syrian, and Iranian controlled media outlets. It will quickly be picked up by various sources elsewhere around the world and actual journalism will be thrown out the window so that the race to be the first to report a news story, no matter how illegitimate, will be won.

Candidate Website Update

I was preparing a special addition to the review of Bruce Poliquin and Rosa Scarcelli's campaign websites and currently there has been a delay in getting the second half prepared (this is what I get for relying on other people, if you want something done you have to do it yourself).

So, Monday I will post regardless of having the extra piece ready.

Health Care Request

I just got an email asking me why I don't write more about the health care back and forth in the senate. Quite simply I don't find corruption as worthy of headlines as they are of prosecutions. Being neither a lawyer or a judge I find the scandal of the "Louisiana Purchase" or the "Nebraska Medicare Payment Exemption While Getting Full Medicare Benefits" (sorry, haven't found a good name for this deal yet) to be just another failure of our system. The failures are so numerous I feel everyone knows about them already. If they don't, they probably won't be reading this blog anyway.

Every earmark, every vote getting deal, every campaign fundraiser connection, every tax cheat, every diplomatic screw up, and every marriage betrayal is common news. Our leaders are not just imperfect for the job but unfit for society. I don't think anyone disagrees with this. That is why for some reason we keep sending them to the prison known as Washington D.C. so they can continue to be housed, fed, and isolated from society by our tax dollars.

Guantanimo Bay just selectively tortured prisoners of war. Washington D.C. tortures every single American in every aspect of our lives by irritating our senses; especially our common sense. What the guards of this prison don't seem to understand is we could easily send the corrupt packing at any election.

We all know they are not doing the job they are supposed to. So why do we keep hiring them? Lets send the ones we got to a maximum security for their continued crimes and let some new prisoners enter D.C. for early release on good behavior.

U.S. Bombs Yemen Militants

The Al-Qaeda in Yemen has been attacked via drones by the U.S. Obama ordered the attack under knowledge an attack against U.S. interests was imminent from that area.

Details of the attack are limited right now and the only sources are non-independent reports (Press TV, Examiner, Yemen government) and claims of success (or genocide) can not be confirmed.

Since 2006 (yes, 2006 again, it was a good year for me, what can I say?) I have been aware of Yemen as an unstable country with enemies to the U.S. I also said we will have to take action within Yemen's borders to resolve the long running civil war.

No matter how arrogant, pious, self-absorbed it may sound it never gets old:
I told you so.

Iran Invades Iraq 1

Over the years Iran and Iraq have not had good border relations, and the border itself has been violated many times. So I am going to start tracking border incidents from now on.

On Thursday some Iranian troops took over an oil well in Iraq near the border in Southern Iraq.

Oil well No. 4 was taken over by 11 Iranian troops. Iraqi forces are massing a kilometer (about half a mile) away.

Iran rejected the claim before admitting it and then claiming the well as Iranian.

Ongoing situation, do keep track as no word from Israel yet.
