"Allah yinsur el-mujaheddin fe-Iraq (God grant victory to the mujaheddin in Iraq)," he repeatedly screamed during a 35-minute Arabic sermon at Lakemba's Haldon Street prayer hall in Sydney's southwest last week."

and our popular and competent Prime Minister says

Miss Clark said through the spokesman she could not disclose details of the information provided to the Government since the announcement was made. "Australian officials have confirmed that there is no imminent threat of terrorist attacks in Australia," she said.

HEH

The irony is not lost on me

"Geenpeace is to be fined 640,000 pesos ($16,570) after its flagship Rainbow Warrior II damaged a coral reef in the Tubbataha Reef Marine Park in Philippines during a climate change campaign."

I wonder if the...

I wonder if the farmers can see the irony that cold weather is hampering their production while on the other hand they are being forced to pay for Kyoto agreement on global warming.

Burn with the peace of Islam

Kyoto kills trees

"Meanwhile, deforestation is progressing at a rapid rate as foresters turn over their land to pasture for dairy cows and sheep."

This cuntry is becoming perverse

"But he says it is no laughing matter that a farmer could be jailed for six months, fined $25,000 or be banned from having animals for failing to clean dogs' dishes daily, or for having a draughty kennel."

An update to the previous post, Michael Totten reminds us what the French paid for

F the French

"France paid millions of dollars for the release of three journalists kidnapped in Iraq, reporter Roger Auque told Afrique Magazine.

He said that - despite official denials - the Government had paid 5 million ($9 million) to free Liberation newspaper's Florence Aubenas and her Iraqi interpreter in June. Christian Chesnot and Georges Malbrunot were released last December for 2 million."

Are you still looking for the link fool?

The excuse in all the above cases was the war in Iraq, but let us not forget that in September 2001, long before Iraq, Osama Bin Laden proudly announced that he ordered the killing of some 3,000 in the United States, in the name of avenging Islam. Let us not forget that the killing began a long time before the invasion of Iraq.

Indeed, jihadis have been killing for a decade in the name of Islam.

Another Australian in devastating form in London

PRIME MIN. HOWARD: Could I start by saying the prime minister and I were having a discussion when we heard about it. My first reaction was to get some more information. And I really don't want to add to what the prime minister has said. It's a matter for the police and a matter for the British authorities to talk in detail about what has happened here.

Can I just say very directly, Paul, on the issue of the policies of my government and indeed the policies of the British and American governments on Iraq, that the first point of reference is that once a country allows its foreign policy to be determined by terrorism, it's given the game away, to use the vernacular. And no Australian government that I lead will ever have policies determined by terrorism or terrorist threats, and no self-respecting government of any political stripe in Australia would allow that to happen.

Can I remind you that the murder of 88 Australians in Bali took place before the operation in Iraq.

And I remind you that the 11th of September occurred before the operation in Iraq.

Can I also remind you that the very first occasion that bin Laden specifically referred to Australia was in the context of Australia's involvement in liberating the people of East Timor. Are people by implication suggesting we shouldn't have done that?

When a group claimed responsibility on the website for the attacks on the 7th of July, they talked about British policy not just in Iraq, but in Afghanistan. Are people suggesting we shouldn't be in Afghanistan?

When Sergio de Mello was murdered in Iraq -- a brave man, a distinguished international diplomat, a person immensely respected for his work in the United Nations -- when al Qaeda gloated about that, they referred specifically to the role that de Mello had carried out in East Timor because he was the United Nations administrator in East Timor.

Now I don't know the mind of the terrorists. By definition, you can't put yourself in the mind of a successful suicide bomber. I can only look at objective facts, and the objective facts are as I've cited. The objective evidence is that Australia was a terrorist target long before the operation in Iraq. And indeed, all the evidence, as distinct from the suppositions, suggests to me that this is about hatred of a way of life, this is about the perverted use of principles of the great world religion that, at its root, preaches peace and cooperation. And I think we lose sight of the challenge we have if we allow ourselves to see these attacks in the context of particular circumstances rather than the abuse through a perverted ideology of people and their murder.

PRIME MIN. BLAIR: And I agree 100 percent with that. (Laughter.)

Watch it Here

Stay the course

There are those out there that seek to destroy our way of life and our existance. Some people are helping them from the inside.

Subject: "Towel Heads" - A Political Correction.

"TOWEL HEADS"

Recently I received a warning about the use of this politically incorrect term, so please note, we all need to be more sensitive in our choice of words.

I have been informed that Islamic terrorists, who hate our guts and want to kill us, feel that we are not being understanding of their culture. They do not like to be called "Towel Heads", since the item they wear on their heads is not actually a towel, but in fact, a small folded sheet.

Therefore, from this point forward, please refer to them as "Little Sheet Heads."

Thank you for your support and compliance on this delicate matter.

Apparently the media had tied it all together, then Bush got elected and then they promptly forgot. I feel another Tui billboard coming, something like : Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11; yeah right
