Obama’s NSA and CIA Picks

Omri Ceren’s headline says it all: Obama’s Top NSA And CIA Picks: Harsh On Israel, Sympathetic To Iran And Hezbollah.

Well that was totally unpredictable wasn’t it?

General James L. Jones is widely rumored to be Obama’s preferred candidate to be White House National Security Adviser… Jones prepared a report on Israel’s policies in the territories… The World Tribune said it “blasted Israel’s role” for “hampering the movement of PA forces, blocking plans for weapons shipments and technology to the Palestinians and resisting coordination.” … Obama said this about Jones: “Let me tell you who I associate with… If I’m interested in figuring out my foreign policy, I associate myself with my running mate, Joe Biden or with Dick Lugar…or General Jim Jones, the former supreme allied commander of NATO.”

Totally, totally unpredictable:

John Brennan… is rumored to be Obama’s pick to head the CIA. Brennan published a long article on Iran in July 2008… “… U.S. national security would be best served if Washington publicly acknowledged and explored the roots of this shift in Iranian state support for terrorist activities … the new U.S. administration must be willing to exercise strategic patience….It would not be foolhardy, however, for the United States to tolerate, and even to encourage, greater assimilation of Hezbollah into Lebanon’s political system.

Is Obama the Antichrist?

Before Christ comes again, those who are saved will ascend to heaven, according to this end-times theology, in a huge, upward whoosh called the Rapture. Strandberg is so certain that the Rapture is coming, he’s bought a number of Internet addresses in addition to RaptureReady: AntiAntichrist, Tribulationus and RaptureMe. In the event that RaptureReady crashes during the apocalypse, anyone who needs an update will, with a simple Google search, be able to get one. Strandberg says Obama probably isn’t the Antichrist, but he’s watching the president-elect carefully. On his Web site, he has something called the Rapture Index, a calculation based on signs and prophecy of the proximity of the end. According to Strandberg, any number over 160 means “fasten your seat belts.” Obama’s win pushed the index to 161.

Who will save us from the wingunts?

Killgore bashes the Christian Right yet again. He’s a bigot and an example of the New Anti Judeo-Christian Order at LGF. He’s Charles’s Rasputin!

Then Diana whom I detest also joined in!

Inhofe: Cancel the ‘blank check’

I agree with Inhofe. Where is this money going, In my opinion Hank Paulson looks like a thug. This bailout now seems to be a robbery of American taxpayers on behalf of the Corporate Crooks.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe said Saturday that Congress was not told the truth about the bailout of the nation’s financial system and should take back what is left of the $700 billion “blank check” it gave the Bush administration.

“It is just outrageous that the American people don’t know that Congress doesn’t know how much money he (Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson) has given away to anyone,” the Oklahoma Republican told the Tulsa World.

“It could be to his friends. It could be to anybody else. We don’t know. There is no way of knowing.”

Read the reset here.

Maybe it is going to his friends, Paulson looks like a thug.

OK. If that kind of stuff is OK with  you, and you’re just fine with the way these people are trashing me, and spreading insanity, you’re not welcome at my blog.

mama winger and RTLM are not welcome here.

I expect people to start complaining about my banning ‘mama winger’ soon. For the record: the decision is absolutely final, and I’m not going to reconsider it. She already had a second chance, after trashing me once before at a site full of people who hate me, and I’m finished giving chances.

She defended Songs and Dance Man and Charles punished her. That’s Fascim Charles!
