Jemaah Islamiah planned Holocaust gas attack in buildings

INDONESIAN terrorists planned to attack Western targets by spreading hydrogen cyanide, a deadly gas used during the Holocaust, through the air-conditioning systems of large buildings.

Details of the method of the proposed attack, designed to maximise the number of victims, were revealed in a 26-page training manual produced by members of Jemaah Islamiah, the terrorist group blamed for the Bali bombings.

Hand-written in the Indonesian language Bahasa, the document expresses optimism that victims exposed to the poison gas will die within 30 seconds. ...

In particular, when discussing one toxin, it said: "30ml of the agent can kill 60 million people, God willing.'

The manual carried the most detail about hydrogen cyanide, also known as Cyclone B, which was used to kill millions of Jews during World War II.

Next time some whiney new age lefty tree hugger starts bleating on about Palestine, remind them of this:

Masked Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades gunmen on Tuesday publicly executed a Palestinian man and woman they suspected of having spied for Israel.

The man was shot dead in the main street of a refugee camp, with a large crowd looking on. The woman was later shot to death by her relatives in the courtyard of the West Bank's largest hospital.

The Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, an offshoot of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah movement, accused Jafal Abu Tzrur, 24, of having informed the IDF where to find three of its members. The three were killed by IDF troops during a raid on the Balata refugee camp near Nablus earlier this year.

Al Aqsa gunmen interrogated Abu Tzrur, claimed he confessed and then dragged him into Balata's main street. As a large crowd looked on, the gunmen threw Abu Tzrur to the ground, witnesses said. When he tried to get up, the gunmen killed him with several shots, the witnesses said.

The movement said it also killed Odad Abu Mustafa, 27, a Nablus woman. Abu Mustafa was married to one of the Al Aqsa men slain by Israel, and was reportedly having an affair with Abu Tzrur.

Abu Mustafa, a mother of four, was shot by gunmen and male relatives on grounds that she shamed her clan. More than 15 people took part in the execution, witnesses said. It took place in the courtyard of Raffidiyeh Hospital, the West Bank's largest.

And some more barbarian nastyness:

MAZAR-I-SHARIF, Afghanistan (Reuters) - Taliban gunmen shot dead three Afghan women working for a Western aid agency in northern Afghanistan on Tuesday, while a roadside bomb killed two Afghans employed by a U.S. firm, officials said.

Provincial governor Juman Khan Hamdard, told Reuters three women from Action Aid were traveling in a car to the northeast of Shiberghan, capital of Jowzjan province, when they were attacked by rebels on motorbikes. Their driver also died. ...

Separately, two Afghans working for a Washington-based firm, Planning and Development Collaborative International (Padco), were killed when their land cruiser struck a roadside bomb in the northeastern province of Badakhshan, a U.S. embassy statement said.

** Yes Polly Toynbee the so called "journo" from the Guardian toiletpaper is at it again. In her inane and poorly written article Polly gushes forth with lots of praise for the Zanu New Labour government over the arts:

Labour has a good enough story to tell on the arts - up 64% in cash and more in impact. Chris Smith is one of the few politicians to retire knowing he has done something brilliant - restoring free entry to museums and galleries, swelling attendances by 50%. But politics and art rub along like a fingernail on a blackboard: ministers too rarely sing its praises.

** From factchecking Pollyanna: When we look at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport's website, we can find a press release lauding the increase in visitor numbers here. The figures revealed are fascinating -- particularly in Table 3 which is linked to at the end of the press release.

Charges affected fewer than 30% of museum visits back when the charges were scrapped in 2001. Since then, there has been a 67% increase in visits to museums which used to charge (69% in the first year, so actually a fall after the first year boost). Museums which were always free saw a 2% increase. Overall visits increased 21%.

And guess what Polly Toynbee is wrong, on many if not every damn word she writes, now I could go into depth, but no I shall not. In fact you know what this womans drivel has more holes in it than an excuse for the crisis at the Home Office, so I shall instead refer you to: http://factcheckingpollyanna.blogspot.com/

The US DoD has delivered its latest quarterly report on the progress of the Iraqi people from dictatorship to self-determination.The document entitled Measuring Stability and Security in Iraq, presented to Congress yesterday, evaluates political stability, economic development and the progress of the Iraqi security forces to assess and quantify the progress the people of Iraq have made since the liberation. ** One to have a look at and use the main points to stick two fingers up at the biased howling moonbats of the left.

Release A060529a
7 terrorists detained in Ramadi
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition forces captured seven terrorists and various bomb making materials while conducting multiple assaults in southern Ramadi May 28. The terrorists are known for improvised explosive device and vehicle borne improvised explosive device production in the region.

The troops located and detonated a VBIED and several IED making materials on location. Coalition forces encountered no resistance from the suspected terrorists during the raid. This location is the same area that six other suspected terrorists were apprehended last Friday for attacking Coalition forces conducting similar operations.

The raids were part of ongoing, coordinated efforts to eliminate al-Qaeda operations in the Al Anbar region west of Baghdad.

There were several women and children on the scene of the raids. None were harmed and all were returned to their homes once the troops ensured the area and buildings were secure.

Release A060529b
3 terrorists detained in Taji
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition forces detained one wanted terrorist and two suspects at approximately May 28 in the vicinity of Taji. The troops detained two suspects who surrendered immediately, while a third suspect tried to escape by jumping into a nearby canal.

Once all three men were in the custody of the forces, the two compliant suspects identified the third man, who attempted to flee, as the terrorist for whom the troops were searching.

The terrorist’s vehicle was destroyed on site.

Release A060529c
Operation Barnstormer completes in MND-N
TIKRIT, Iraq– Operation Barnstormer, part of the Iraqi Ministry of Agriculture program to protect key staple crops from insect damage, wrapped up May 28 with a final day of aerial spraying in the northern Iraqi province of Dahuk in Task Force Band of Brothers' area of operations.

The operation began on May 16 and covered most of the major agricultural areas in the Iraqi provinces of Karbala , Wassit, Babil, Baghdad , Diyala, Ninewa and Dohuk.

The crops were sprayed with a pesticide to reduce the amount of insect damage to the country's vital wheat and date crops. This was the first aerial spraying operation conducted in Iraq in three years.

With the increased yield that is expected to result from this spraying, Iraq should see a boost in revenues from its date exports and a reduction in the amount of wheat imported to supply the Iraqi citizens.

In the provinces where Task Force Band of Brothers is located, more than 310 square miles of wheat fields and date palm groves were sprayed with pesticide.

The Ministry of Agriculture contracted with a private company to conduct the spraying. Using Soviet-designed helicopters and bi-planes, the company flew low over the trees and fields distributing the pesticide.

Iraqi Security Forces, with Coalition assistance, secured the aircraft as the spraying was conducted.

Overall, Operation Barnstormer is seen by the task force as a success for the Ministry of Agriculture, a step forward in meeting the needs of Iraqis dependent on the agricultural sector and the development of a strong and thriving economy in Iraq .

Release A060529e
Coalition Forces kill three terrorists in Ramadi
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces killed three and wounded one terrorist as they transported and attempted to emplace improvised explosive devices in the vicinity of Ramadi May 28.

The individuals have been linked to a weapons cache Coalition Forces located and destroyed in the area just south of Lake Thar Thar previously the same day. The cache inculded numerous warheads, rockets, missiles and missile launchers.

The terrorists were killed by a Coalition air strike approximately 10 kilometers northeast of Ramadi before they could complete their activity.

The weapons cache was located less than 25 kilometers from the site where the terrorists were digging a hole to place an IED.

2 Bde, 1AD Call Forward Force Relocated to Iraq

BAGHDAD, Iraq – The Multi-National Force–Iraq Commander, General George W. Casey Jr., in coordination with the Government of Iraq, requested and received authority to relocate the Call Forward Force in support of ongoing security operations.

Two battalion task forces of the 2nd Brigade, 1st Armored Division have moved into Iraq to assist in reestablishing the conditions necessary to enable effective local and provincial governance and providing additional security for the people of Al Anbar province. The approximately 1500 Soldiers were serving in Kuwait and are trained and ready for such a mission.

“The situation in Al Anbar Province is currently a challenge but is not representative of the overall security situation in Iraq , which continues to improve as the Iraqi Security Forces increasingly take the lead,” said Lt. Col. Michelle Martin-Hing, spokesperson for Multi-National Corps-Iraq. “To date, two divisions, 15 brigades, and 68 battalions of the Iraqi Army are in the lead in their own areas of responsibility.”

The Iraqi Security Forces have demonstrated their ability to protect the public and provide security at a number of key events in the past six months such as the Ashura and Arba'een religious observances, the seating of the Council of Representatives and the inauguration of the Iraqi Government. With the support of these additional forces, they will continue to progress toward security self-reliance.

This short-term deployment will make a long-term contribution to Iraq 's security well-being and political process. Each task force is a flexible combined arms force equipped to operate across the spectrum of operations, from conducting security tasks to engaging in combat operations. This includes integral armor, mechanized infantry and engineer support.

Early Morning Raid Nets IED Cell Leaders

BALAD, Iraq – Iraqi forces raided two targets in the Karada area of Baghdad on May 30 and detained seven individuals responsible for improvised explosive device, or IED attacks against Iraqi Security Forces.

The first target was a dormitory on the campus of the Baghdad Technical University where two student cells, operating out of dormitory rooms, built IEDs and later initiated attacks against Iraqi Army and Police forces. Iraqi forces detained four students on this target.

On the second target, an apartment building near the campus, Iraqi forces detained three cell leaders responsible for emplacing IEDs made by their student cells. All three cell leaders are believed to be Palestinians, and they were financed by a local business.

This cell is responsible for at least two attacks against Iraqi security and police forces in the Karada area. The first attack, in December 2005, resulted in no casualties. The second attack, in January of this year, killed several Iraqi police officers riding in a vehicle.

No Iraqi forces were killed or wounded during this operation.

Seems that the BBC has been lying again - no suprise there - about desertion figures from the armed forces.

The liars at El Beeb gloat: More than 1,000 members of the British military have deserted the armed forces since the start of the 2003 Iraq war, the BBC has discovered.

During 2005 alone, 377 people deserted and are still missing. So far this year another 189 are on the run.

Some 900 have evaded capture since the Iraq war started, official figures say.

The Ministry of Defence is very secretive about the number of men and women who desert from the armed forces. A bit strange that as not only do the armed forces produce figures but the BBC believes the figures from a non armed forces source.

Yet after blasting us with these figures we find out that, desertions were higher in 1999 when there was no war going on. Yes a higher rate than when we are actually at war.

"There were nearly 2,000 recorded cases of desertion last year [1999]..."

So in fact the numbers who have deserted have plumetted from 2000 a year to 377 in 2005, oh and whats that other figure? 189 this year. The initial figure of a thousand sounds a lot, but desertions happen for many reasons and taken from 2003 on its only a few hundred a year.

Seems that the drop in figures show that the armed forces have tackled problems like bullying that was a major problem at one time when the figures for 1999 came out, and the loyalty of our troops deserves better than a cheap hatchet job from the BBC. In fact their figure of 1000 + seems to be made up of a total over each year since 2003

Having read the poor article at the El Beeb it shows that they care little for facts and indeed bring in numerous people with an anti war stance: First up we have Justin Hugheston-Roberts was the solicitor for Flight Lieutenant Malcolm Kendall-Smith who was sentenced to eight months in prison for refusing to follow orders in connection with a deployment to Iraq. Now you must remember Kendall-Smith he was the yellow coward who when faced with actually having to go into action decided it was an illegal war and turned into a barrack room lawyer, before crying like a little girl and being sentenced for his cowardice.

Next up: Former SAS member Ben Griffin was allowed to leave the military after telling his commanding officer he was not prepared to return to Iraq because of what he believed were illegal acts being carried out by US forces. Now he has been making a name for him self sucking up to various moonbats on the left, hardly unbiased methinks.

And also we have a bit from a minor backbench MP who is known for his crowing and carping on about the Iraq war: John McDonnell, Labour MP for Hayes and Harlington told, Parliament last Monday that the number of absconders had trebled since the invasion with more soldiers "questioning the morality and legality of the occupation".

** I was considering doing a few links to various sites at El Beeb, but screw em. They fuck with the moral of our troops and do the best to spread their leftist new age twaddle as legit news, then have the bare faced nerve to raise the question as to the role of bloggers on the internet. How about to expose BBC lies and half truths for a start. It would not be so bad were it not for the fact that us citizens of the UK if we wish to watch TV have to purchase a tv license that go's towards funding the BBC lies they produce.

More over at USS Neverdock:

Lastly we have this more bullshit from the BBC: (Thanks to USS Neverdock again for the link)

The Sunday Times reports.

TWENTY “major conspiracies” by Islamist terrorists in Britain have been uncovered by the security services, John Reid, the home secretary, has disclosed.

Yet not a sniff of this on the biased left wing dhimmi El Beeb, still what do you expect from an organisation that is so scared of offending muslims that they wont use either the word muslim or the word terrorist when reporting on jihadist groups here in the UK, in fact in this case, they have not reported it period.

After After months of wondering it has finally happened that John Evans, the American ambassador to Armenia, has been officially removed and a replacement has been quietly announced.

On May 23, the White House announced that President George W. Bush intends to nominate Ambassador Richard Hoagland, currently the U.S. Ambassador in Tajikistan, to be the next U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Armenia.

In February 2005, as part of a tour of Armenian-American communities in the United States, Ambassador Evans gave a speech at UC Berkeley, California. During which the ambassador proclaimed the muslim turks butchery of Armenians, as "the first genocide of the 20th century"

"I informed myself in depth about it," said Evans, "and I think we, the US government, owe you, our fellow citizens a more frank and honest way of discussing this problem. Today, as someone who's studied it...There's no doubt in my mind what happened." Evans said he had also consulted with a State Department lawyer who confirmed that the events of 1915 were "genocide by definition."

"The Armenian Genocide was the first genocide of the 20th century," said Evans, remarking that since it was the first occurrence, the world was not equipped to respond appropriately. "We made many mistakes after WWI. They sowed the seeds of WWII." Commending Colin Powell for courageously calling the recent massacres in Darfur, Sudan genocide, Evans said, "I pledge to you, we are going to do a better job at addressing this issue."

A good piece on this at nodhimmitude, now at this point I have to add that although I am in favour of Turkey being admitted to the EU as a member state and as a result of that getting all the benefits of joining on of the worlds largest trading blocks, they do need to face up to the past and what previous generations have done.

29th Signal hook up the lines
Story by Sgt. Dennis Gravelle, 138th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment
MOSUL, Iraq - Smaller units on Forward Operating Base Marez, Mosul, Iraq need the help of the 29th Signal Battalion to get their communications up and running.
The battalion provides the support and communications to the mayor’s cell, the 505th Engineer’s Battalion, and other supporting units by hooking up internet and phone lines.

“We basically provide command and control for units so they can talk to higher units,” said Sgt. Rickey Thomas, 29th Sig. Bn. “They need to get their reports in and make sure they are getting supplied properly with food, fuel, water and ammunition.” Thomas resides in Lacey, Wash.
According to one member of the unit, Spc. Christopher Rudolph, without 29th being here there would be no telephone communications or internet for the units to contact the people they need to. Rudolph is a native of Boise, Idaho.

“It is very vital to have communications here in Iraq so the units can pass on information that is important to accomplish their mission,” Rudolph said.

“It is a pleasure to work with these smaller units and getting them connected to their phones and internet,” said Rudolph. “They seem to appreciate it when we are able to help them out.”
“Running lines here in combat is no different than it is back in a garrison setting,” said Thomas.
According to Thomas they try and maintain the same standards as they do in garrison.

“We still take pride in our appearance,” said Thomas. “We try to keep things as neat as possible, but we stress safety over neatness, making sure Soldiers are not going to get hurt by the wires we run.”

Now where oh where is Mr Tiddles, the part time cat impersonator and part MP for the voters in his London consituancy. Seems that George just loves racking up those air miles, if its not supporting arab dictators, its hobb nobbing with Fidel Castro (at least he can say that he helps OAP's!) Yes the MP for Bethnal Green and Bow has been in the news again with his comments about killing Blair. Now the only reason I would be against killing Blair our PM is that the Deputy PM, who would then take over the leadership until a new leader could be appointed in John Prescott MP. Now the prospect of having John Prescott as leader fills all right thinking people with dread and if that does happen it is likely that the next PM to take over power in the UK would be the dour Scot and tradional tax and spend socialist Gordon Brown.
Just look at that, the eyes lock, they move ever closer and warmly embrace. Who knows will George be fellating Fidel after the show? Galloway also bleats on about how he was the best fighter in his school, and that he'd like to go a few rounds with both Blair and Bush, adding "I'd take them both at once." well once a fat bully always a fat bully methinks, and anytime the traitor Galloway fancys a few rounds he can come on down to Newport for the beating of his life any time he has the guts for it.

RESPECT MP George Galloway joined Fidel Castro on a seven-hour TV show designed to rebut claims that the Cuban president has amassed a multi-million dollar personal fortune.
Mr Galloway denounced an article in Forbes magazine which claimed Castro was worth £477 million as part of a "Yankee imperialist" conspiracy...


Above we see the MP for Bethnal helping out some locals with their problems. You know the sort of thing, rent disputes, housing, WMD, international terrorism.


But hello wheres George got to now? Seems that he is off to Cuba to blag some duty free cigars that he likes to smoke.


And here we see George Galloway with another famous and now dead cigar smoker. Always good to hang out with people you share interests with I say be it cigars, dubious charities, oil deals and taking cheap shots at the west.

And of course who could forget his classic "Sir: I salute your courage, your strength, your indefatigability." speech. Additionally he said "hatta al-nasr, hatta al-nasr, hatta al-Quds" (Arabic for "until victory, until victory, until Jerusalem"). But the best has to be saved for last. No comment needed on the classic picture from Big Brother below.

Labour MP Stephen Pound assessed the likely reaction in the world of politics, saying "When he returns to the House of Commons there's going to be such a chorus of 'Meow.' He'll have a saucer of milk waiting for him and a litter tray." Pound called Galloway's stint on the reality show a "slow-motion car crash."

Just when you thought that the home office could not get any worse, yes it gets worse. The other day we had the new Home Sec John Reid saying that they had released more illegal aliens from secure mental hospitals back into society and well they had no idea where most of them were. They think its about 500 or so, but they are not sure on the exact numbers. Oh and its in addition to the 1023 that were let out previously they are still trying to track down.

But it gets better new figures this week showed that more than 8,000 prisoners, including murderers and rapists, had absconded from open prisons since 1997 and a quarter are still at large.

Yet despite all this we still have open prisons here in the UK and well if you dont fancy serving your time, well just walk on out the door and that is what has happened.

Lastly in between jumping on a plane to do a pr fluff photoshoot with George Bush (always better than staying here in the UK and resolving domestic policy problems) our PM the grinning ape Blair has announced another get touch agenda on crime and the causes of crime. If anyone is wondering or even cares anymore in the UK that is his forth so far.

** I apologise to anyone who reads this on a regular basis about the lack of posts on normal subjects and my getting diverted by the mad harridan of the Guardian toiletpaper, but needs must and this womans bizarre fantasy of a perfect world under Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, sorry the Zanu New Labour party.

Indeed today in her inane and increasingly strange whitterings Polly comes up with such classics as :

David is stealing Tony's clothes - and it's working. It's time for Gordon - 1

After this week's grim Guardian/ICM poll, Labour are looking across at the opposition benches and imagining themselves back there before long. - 2

1/ Well thats fine as public opinion of the dour one eyed Scotsman aka cyclops, a tradional tax and spend socialist of the old school is even lower that that of the grinning ape Blair.
2/ Well its not hard to imagine what with unemployment rising, problems in every government department, the war in Iraq ripping apart the Zanu Labour Party from the inside, lack of trust in the officials appointed by this government at an all time high even a talentless non entity like David Cameron looks electable. Truely a sad state for any government to sink to.

Even Polly hid away in her Guardian office ivory tower has realised Zanu New Labour has hit a problem as she quotes about the possiblity of it being on the other side of the house: The prospect of opposition concentrates minds. What will be left? Nothing but a broken shell of a party, with virtually no councillors and no party members, bereft of ideas and idealism, intellectually running on brain-empty.

Now lets have a look at that statement, "intellectually running on brain-empty." - well that sums up my local MP's Paul "proven libelist and owner of a bad beard" Flynn ** more on him at the bottom of this post** and Jessica "Tony rules!" Morden. The bit about a broken shell of a party is amusing as watching our government in operation is like watching a slow train crash being replayed you want to look away but when you do you know that you will come to a bit even more graphic and horrible than the last bit.

But Polly is not done yet she blathers on about the Tories saying: "Watching Tories pushing on with Tony Blair's own reform policies", that would be polices that the Zanu New Labour bunch borrowed from the Tories to get elected in the first place.

And then she whines: "If he is still there next May then both the Scottish parliament and the Welsh assembly will be lost", so we lose two talking shops big deal. Both should be scrapped and rebuilt from the bottom up. Few people in Wales have ever had any dealings with the Welsh Assembly and few could even tell you how to get to the building! Indeed the only thing the voters of Wales an area that has through tradition voted for the Zanu New Labour party has seen is the Poll Tax bills rise in order to pay for the hot air produced by the Welsh Assembly.

This is one line that amused me, just simply for the fact that after three terms with their voter base at an all time low its hard to imagine many people believing in Zanu New Labours prescriptions any more, no matter how much the Health Minster says that the NHS has had its best year ever "So far the voters are buying Mr Placebo's herbal remedies and not Labour's genuine prescriptions."

** Right onto proven libelist and owner of a bad beard Paul Flynn MP. Sometimes the behaviour of your elected MP is such that you want to cringe. Take a look at the article below on his website that is for the legalisation of dope:

Oh and for details on the libel case where Mr Flynn had to cough up damages go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Flynn

The top photo is a total classic, your typical bunch of doped up old hippys and "Down with Bush and AmericKKKa" brigade, and for anyone who thinks that is not the case check the posters out. Mind not that many people in the photo, they probably asked a lot more to turn up but well they forgot to arrive due to smoking to much dope(sic). Oh I have to ask is the guy in orange a local authority worker or someone who is from Club Gitmo?

Still with the pressing problems of a society falling apart at the seams its nice to see our local MP hob nobbing with the druggies and social retard drop outs of society. PEACE MAN ETC.

** Final update, from Iain Dales site(link on sidebar): Alastair Campbell's partner Fiona Millar, who used to work as Cherie Blair's PA, has been all over the media urging her former employer to apologise for signing the autioned copy of the Hutton Report. But amazingly no journalist has asked her whether her partner should also do the same. He has been uncharacteristically silent on the matter, yet it was he more than anyone, who was to blame for the circumstances which led Dr Kelly to take his life. And he signed more than one copy, so you can hardly put it down to a rush of blood. Cherie Blair's actions are ill-judged, but Alastair Campbell's are downright disgusting and reprehensible. I suppose we shouldn't really be surprised. My only consolation is that the value of his diaries is diminshing with every day that Tony Blair stays in power.

Investigation ordered into allegation of misconduct
CAMP FALLUJAH, Iraq – Maj. Gen. Richard C. Zilmer, commanding general, Multi-National Force - West, has requested that the Naval Criminal Investigative Service conduct an investigation into an April 26, 2006 incident in which Marines allegedly killed an Iraqi civilian in the area of Hamandiyah, west of Baghdad .

Local Iraqis brought the incident to the attention of Marine leadership at a regularly scheduled meeting on May 1, 2006. A preliminary investigation conducted by MNF-W found sufficient information existed to recommend a criminal investigation into the incident.

Several servicemembers from 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment who have suspected involvement in the incident were removed from operations and have returned to the United States pending the results of the criminal investigation.

IA, CF detain 15 terrorists
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Soldiers from 6th Iraqi Army Division and Multi-National Division – Baghdad detained 15 terrorists in three separate events on May 23 and May 24.

In one event on May 23, MND-B Soldiers from 2nd Battalion, 8th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, detained two terrorists in connection with a weapons cache found south of Baghdad.

In a second event that same day, Soldiers from 4th Brigade, 6th IAD, detained two terrorists attempting to drive through a traffic control point with explosive material in their truck south of Baghdad.

On May 24, another 11 terrorists were detained south of Baghdad when they fired upon a 4th Bde., 6th IAD traffic control point from a mosque. The terrorists were found with AK-47 rifles and a rocket-propelled grenade.

Coalition, Iraqi leaders discuss joint security, economic issues
BAGHDAD, Iraq (May 26, 2006) – As Coalition Forces leaders and local Iraqi government officials discuss joint security concerns, Iraqi Army Soldiers demonstrated their effectiveness on the streets in Baghdad.

The commanding general of Multi-National Division – Baghdad met with two prominent Iraqi governors at the Falaniko House in the International Zone May 25 to discuss their joint security concerns.

During the meeting, Iraqi government leaders from the Baghdad and Najaf provinces and Coalition Forces leaders talked about the progress being made toward the long-term goal of passing security control from Coalition Forces to the Iraqi provincial governments.

Maj. Gen. J.D. Thurman, commanding general, MND-B, began the meeting by focusing on the ground-breaking steps taken in recent days by the still fledgling Iraqi government, with the successful selection of a prime minister and his cabinet.

“This is a historic moment for all of Iraq,” said Thurman.

Hussein Al-Tahan, governor, Baghdad Province, pledged his support and agreed to work closely with Coalition Forces to improve the overall security situation.

“Together, you and I are responsible for the security of Baghdad,” said Al-Tahan.

Echoing his fellow governor’s sentiments, Assad Altaee Abu Guilal, governor of Najaf, expressed his gratitude for the Coalition Forces effort and assistance in improving both the security and economy of Najaf.

At the meeting’s close, all participants agreed that both provinces are well on their way to assuming security control and are looking forward to continuing cooperative efforts to ensure a safe Iraq in the future.

One Iraqi father recently discovered the effectiveness of Iraqi Security Forces when Soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 1st Brigade, 6th Iraqi Army Division, rescued his kidnapped teenage daughter.

The Iraqi Soldiers were performing a security patrol May 24 in the Al Mansour district of central Baghdad when an individual approached and informed them that his daughter had been kidnapped.

Responding immediately, Iraqi Army Soldiers searched the area and quickly located the young victim, bound and blindfolded, in a vehicle.

Soon after, she was reunited with her father.

Thanks to the efforts of Coalition Forces and the new Iraqi government, civilians in the Northern Babil Province may be reunited with a former employer in that region, an industrial complex in Iskandariyah that once boosted the city’s economy by producing more than 60,000 vehicles.

Suffering from years of neglect, the industrial complex now stands as a dilapidated and virtually silent group of buildings.

The complex opened in 1972 and thrived for 18 years as a private company producing thousands of vehicles. Currently, the only industry that sees activity in the complex is the Iraqi Ministry of Industries’ truck, bus and trailer producing company. In its peak production years, the company was able to produce six buses each week and employ about 6,000 workers. Now, it builds only four buses per month.

This reduction in output is not due to the reduction of workers but the lack of demand for the product.

Coalition Forces and the Iraqi government want to change that.

Maj. Gen. Thurman visited the factory March 25 with Lt. Col. James Howard, commander, 2nd Battalion, 8th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, to see first hand the progress the factory has made with assistance from Coalition Forces and the Iraqi government.

The technical director for the complex, Sebah Khafaji, expressed gratitude for the Coalition’s assistance and hopes for an independent future with opportunities for new markets and growth and therefore, greater employment for the local citizens.

Maj. Gen. Thurman pledged his support to Khafaji to get the complex on its feet again and praised him for his initiative.

“I see tremendous opportunity in this region with industry and agriculture. If the Iraqi government continues to encourage Shia and Sunnis to work together, I have no doubt that this area will be very successful,” concluded Thurman.

On the 18th November 2005, policewoman Sharon Beshenivsky was shot during a robbery in Bradford. She had only been serving as a police officer for a few months. She had three children and two step-children.

On the 25th November police named 3 suspects: named Mustaf Jama (25), Yusaf Jama (19) and Muzzaker Shah (24). Yusaf Jama was arrested and charged on 26th November and Muzzaker Shah was arrested in my home city of Newport in South Wales and also charged with her murder.

Mustaf Jama alas remains at large and it is believed that he has gone back to Somalia. Mustaf Jama was granted indefinite leave to remain in the UK in 2000. In May 2001 he was sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court to 15 months in prison for aggravated vehicle taking and road traffic offences.

Two months later he was jailed for three years at Sheffield Crown Court for two offences of robbery In February last year he was given three months at Harrow magistrates' court for burglary.

Despite that record, the Immigration and Nationality Directorate decided last spring not to pursue deportation. Home Office sources said it was two years since any such repatriation had been tried because Somalia was regarded as dangerous.

One of Charles Clarke's - the then Home Sec. - aides said there was "nowhere to send him to" because airlines would not fly to Somalia. Aparently efforts are still being made to locate and get Jama sent back to the UK to face trial for murder.

Mustaf Jama
Update on the scumfuck Mustaf Jama:

According to The Times, in 1993 Nadifa Egal a Somali woman arrived at Heathrow with three children and a Kenyan people trafficker who falsely claimed to be her husband. Mrs Egal described the danger from which her family were fleeing following tribal violence. The family were granted leave to remain and Mrs Egal set about contacting her four other children who had been sent to the UK in 1992. Soon after being granted leave to remain it is reported that Mrs Egal returned to Somalia leaving her seven children to be brought up by friends and relatives in London and Birmingham.

Mustaf Jama was 12 years old when he stood by his mother’s side at Heathrow in 1993. Eight years after arriving in the UK, Mustaf was jailed for burglary and robbery offences. After a string of violent criminal offences he was released from prison in 2005 aged 25; he was considered for deportation but permitted to remain because it was deemed too dangerous to send him back to Somalia where the conflict continued. Some time between Christmas Day and New’s Year he fled the UK, returning to Somalia, apparently bearing his sister’s passport and disguised in a niqab. Jama was not required to prove his identity by immigration staff.

It has been further reported that Jama’s Uncle is a former Somalian Foreign Minister and his father a former MP and cousin of Mohamed Siad Barre the country’s ex-president who seized power in 1969 in a brutal military coup. Mustaf Jama is reportedly protected and hiding in Somalia.

Mustaf Jama is still wanted by British police as the prime suspect for the murder of PC Sharon Beshenivsky

Now I have covered Polly Toynbee the 2nd rate hack employed by The Guardian, a rather poor paper best used for emergencies when you have run out of toilet paper. Seems that like most of the left wingers she can dish it out but is incapable of taking critism of herself/her poorly written articles/her out of date leftie views/or just critism in general.

Found this on the ever wonderful Devils Kitchen blog (link on the sidebar) and it made me laugh somewhat. http://devilskitchen.blogspot.com/2006/05/polly-gets-dose-of-her-own-medicine.html

By the way Ms Toynbee, before you ask us to decry Ian Burchill for referring to the death of your husband, please remind us of the sensitive piece you wrote about Auberon Waugh in the days (not 14 years) after he died, entitled 'Ghastly Man'. Please also remind us about the accompanying cartoon showing Auberon Waugh being flushed down the toilet. I'm sure his grieving family were greatly comforted by your kind words. In fact, his son wrote a touchingly gentle and humorous reposte, something you, as a self-obsessed humour-vacuum, would be incapable of.

Polly Toynbee 2nd rate Guardian hack gets all offended at some people with opposing views. Oh and of course for more on Polly check out: http://factcheckingpollyanna.blogspot.com/

** Update on this, here is the original drivel that 2nd rate piss poor hack Polly Toynbee wrote about the death of Auberon Waugh, worth a read as it shows what a bitter and twisted, hate and bile filled little woman she really is behind that liberal wall she shows the world:

Iraqi Police thwart car bombers
TIKRIT, Iraq – Quick action by Iraqi Police foiled a terrorist car bombing plot May 23 near Baqubah.

The officers noticed two suspicious vehicles and began to cordon off and clear the area when the explosives in one of the vehicles were detonated. The police quickly engaged and killed two men in the second vehicle before it also could be detonated.

An explosives ordnance disposal team from the 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, conducted a controlled detonation of the second car bomb.

Because of the quick actions taken by the police, no civilians or security forces were injured by either explosion.

Bastogne Soldiers save terrorist's life
KIRKUK, Iraq – Bastogne Soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division saved the life of an insurgent near Kirkuk, Iraq , May 23 after the grenade the insurgent threw exploded on him, causing severe injuries to his lower extremities.

Iraqi soldiers were manning their post in Hawijah, a city just west of Kirkuk , when a man approached and tossed a grenade at their position. The grenade bounced off the roof of the structure the soldiers were in, falling back to the ground and exploding, severely cutting and burning the man.

Soldiers from the 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 101st Airborne Division, responding to the original call from the Iraqi soldiers, arrived on the scene just after the grenade exploded and provided first aid to the terrorist. Once stabilized, the man was taken to the U.S. military compound in Kirkuk for further treatment of his injuries.

Bastogne Soldiers have been fighting alongside and training the Iraqi Army since October 2005. Iraqi Security Forces in and around Kirkuk continue to gain confidence in their abilities, and are taking on more responsibility for security in the region.

The following is from Honest Reporting - links at the bottom of the post, both to their main site and this article posted below:

On 23 May, Israel captured its most wanted terrorist in the West Bank, Ibrahim Hamad a senior Hamas leader responsible for some of the most horrific suicide bombings of the past few years including:

- a double suicide bombing and a simultaneous car bombing in Zion Square in the heart of Jerusalem five years ago, which killed 11 people;

- a March 2002 suicide bombing at Jerusalem's Moment Cafe, in which 12 people were killed;

- the attack on the Shefield club in Rishon Letzion in May 2002, which killed 16 people;

- the attack at the Hebrew University cafeteria on Mount Scopus in August 2002, which killed nine people;

- a double suicide bombing in September 2003, which killed a total of 17 people at the Hillel Cafe in Jerusalem's German Colony, and at the Tsrifin junction near the Tsrifin IDF base.

Yet, according to the BBC report on the arrest:

BBC correspondent Caroline Hawley in Jerusalem says it is not clear why the army moved against Hamad.

Hamas has not carried out any suicide attacks for 15 months and Israeli military operations in the past few months have focused instead on the militant Islamic Jihad group, which has been responsible for most of the recent bombs.

Caroline Hawley seems to have put a 15 month statute of limitations on responsibility for the murder of dozens of innocent people. Is it still not clear to some in the BBC why the IDF would arrest Hamad when presented with an opportunity?

** And the 2nd part of the article.

A number of eyebrows were raised when veteran BBC correspondent Jeremy Bowen was appointed to the newly-created role of Middle East Editor in June 2005 "to enhance our audience's understanding of the Middle East; and to provide extra commentary, focus and analysis to an increasingly complex area of the world."

Unfortunately, Bowen's explanation for such complexities can be oversimplified and morally inverted, as demonstrated by his latest BBC analysis of continuing intra-Palestinian violence in the Gaza Strip:

Gaza always feels like a pressure cooker. How could it be anything else? It is one of the most overcrowded places in the world. Getting on for a million and a half people live in a strip of land around 50km long and 9-12km wide. But in this claustrophobic, fragile place, brutalised by getting on for 40 years of a violent Israeli occupation, the temperature is rising.

Despite Israel's withdrawal from Gaza in 2005, Bowen still refers to "the pressure that never goes away, which comes from the Israeli occupation." Thus, Bowen is unable to assign any responsibility to the Palestinians for their current situation and even the propensity of Hamas and Fatah to turn against each other, instead preferring to place the blame on Israel. Bowen also goes on to describe IDF actions against Palestinian terrorists while failing to mention the continuing barrage of Qassam missiles fired at Israeli targets, including on 21 May, a school in Sderot.

For more on Bowen's latest commentary, see Melanie Phillips' Blog.

The National Lottery last Saturday was interupted by a group called Fathers For Justice, but I just found this bit on You Tube of the presenter Eamon Holmes hiding like the fat bloated coward he his behind his female presenter leaving her alone to face any possible trouble.

Eamon Holmes you should hang your head in shame you cowardly fag.

.

Ed Caraballo, who Peter Bergen named a ‘blameless journalists’ in this case, was released at the end of April, but today, Jack Idema and Brent Bennett are still at Pulacharke struggling to survive.

Jack Idema and Brent Bennett refused the offer of “amnesty” that was given them; “amnesty” that is given to terrorists for such crimes as rape and murder. “Amnesty” is something that Jack and Brent would never consider accepting, because they committed no crime.

They were declared innocent in front of Parliament last weekend; which is big news. Yet not a word from the international press, which continues to maintain Jack had a ‘private prison’ and ‘tortured innocent Afghans’. Interestingly, some of the original reports that came out claiming that his victims were held upside down in the basement of the house (there was no basement) have been modified, as some of these lies were so patently false they could be easily dismissed as propaganda:

Actually, Cao, you might be the first person to be able to wade through the bullshit and publish the facts. They were terrorists, they got caught, Idema caught them, and then they lied. Like, here’s a good one: the terrorists were supposed to be hanging upside down in a basement. Problem was there was no basement in the house, I know, I sent a team there to photograph it. Nor has ONE piece of evidence ever been shown against them- Just anonymous sources who have all either dissapeared or been identified, and now fired.

Good job, keep it up, and never let them see you sweat.

Comment by Command Sergeant Major Donald

There was a time that the American government would do something about Americans who would find themselves in an uncomfortable position in another country with no help. Tragically, it seems as though that time has passed, and the people the courts are favoring are the terrorists who want to destroy us and our way of life. Where is the outrage the American people should be displaying on behalf of these Americans?? Is it because this story doesn’t touch their comfortable lives? It would seem so.

Now, Jack and Brent have only the Afghans to rely upon for their safety; the American government, the Embassy and journalists seem determined to keep them there, in spite of the Afghans’ desire to release them.

Ellen Barker reported that in somewhat of a disingenuous manner

According Kim Barker of the Chicago Tribune, the biggest challenge isn’t the Taliban or Al Qaeda who are imprisoned at Pulacharke; instead the biggest challenge the Afghans face is the three Americans.

That’s a pretty ridiculous statement, wouldn’t you say? Al Qaeda isn’t the challenge, no, even the Taliban aren’t a challenge–no, the challenge for the Afghans at Pulacharke is the three Americans!

As I see it, the challenge for the Afghans is to get the American government to listen to their calls for the Americans’ release. The Afghans themselves want to release these men; yet the American government and journalists are completely silent on this fact…and when they DO recognize it, they do it with the usual spin about how these men are ‘criminals’ ‘bounty hunters’ and ‘rogues’.

But a closer look at this case brings a more frightening picture into focus.

There is a chance that the FBI will attempt to bring some sort of charges against them upon their return to the United States to save face and prevent Idema and his men from giving testimony before closed-door Senate Hearings.

We must encourage the Senate to take action and open a congressional investigation as to what happened here and who was responsible.

So what can we do? Well, anyone reading this with their own blog can sign up for the weekly Free Jack Idema Blogburst by emailing Cao or Rottweiler Puppy for details. I’d urge everyone to do this, as we’re still terribly short on takers. If you want to know more about the story, Cao’s Blog has a large section devoted to Jack Idema. There’s also a timeline here, and, of course, a huge amount of information is available over at SuperPatriots, without whose work none of us would have learned about Jack’s story.
