This is the last post I will be making at this blog site. I wish to thank townhall for providing a forum for me to vent my frustrations and attempt to be involved in public discourse. Lately it has become apparent that I have reached a limited audience with no potential for expansion. I have spent a lot of time and received little in return. This is bad business no matter how you look at it. As I wrote in a previous piece, I have had no affect therefore I have served no purpose.

To those who did visit my site, thank you.

There are many blogs at townhall that are worth reading and deserve a following. I wish them well.


Signing off,
James

This is the area that King David was given for the people of Israel to live in. This is the area that was promised by God to the Israelis. Why are the present Israelis so willing to give it up?

Why are they so unwilling to take what was promised to them?

Why would they tell God, "Thanks, but no thanks".

It just doesn't make sense. The enemies that presently surround Israel have provided ample opportunity to expand Israel to the land it was promised, yet the Israeli always pull back. The modern Israeli appears ready to give up on all of it altogether. Everytime the Israeli's have turned their back's on God they have suffered great loss. It's about time they lived up to their title as God's chosen people.

The fact that Iran is going to financially support Hamas is no surprise. Both entities have the same goal, the destruction of Israel. Here's the catch:

The Hamas leader did not answer directly, but said: "The Palestinian government insists on June 4, 1967 borders (for Israel), full Palestinian sovereignty with Jerusalem as its capital."

This is pure propaganda and rhetoric that will come acrossed as making Mashaal appear as a "moderate". He knows that Israel will never agree to this. Israel is the Holiest city on Judaism and is at the very soul of every Jew in Israel and on the planet.

There are quite a few Israeli's that would probably be willing to give in to the first two demands. If they agree on the third one, they no longer deserve to exist as a nation. If they decide to give Jerusalem to the "Palestinians" they will have made a mockery of those of us who have supported Israels right to exist. Giving away Israel would be worse than selling your own mother into slavery. I refuse to believe that Israel will ever agree to this.

The fact that this is even an issue can be laid at the feet of Ehud Barak and his willingness to give away Israel's soul for a false hope.

Khaled Mashaal knows that Israel will never agree to this and will push this agenda to prove to the world that Israel doesn't want peace. I have asked numerous times why this man is still vertical. Would somebody please put him out of our misery.

 Two senior Hamas officials have moved to Syria in protest against their movement's decision to form a unity government with Fatah, Fatah legislator Jamal Tirawi said Monday.

This comes as no surprise. Here's the statement that throws everything into the light:

"There is a split inside Hamas," Tirawi, who represents the Nablus district in the Palestinian Legislative Council, said. "Siam and Abu Zuhri, who have moved to Syria, represent the radical trend, while [Palestinian Authority Prime Minister] Ismail Haniyeh and [Hamas leader] Khaled Mashaal belong to the moderate side."

Only in the Islamist world would a murderous barbarian like Khaled Mashaal be considered a moderate. Which begs the question, what is a moderate in the Islamist world? Wanting to eliminate a nation and destroy infidels is moderate. Wanting to destroy apostates is moderate. Advancing your own stature and power through manipulation and propaganda is moderate. Planning and putting into action the murder of your fellow Islamists is moderate. Supporting the Mecca Accord is moderate.

In the world of relativism we live in today this may not seem contradictory to moderation. In a world of right versus wrong, it is. The two radicals refused to recognize becoming part of a "Unity Government". What shouldn't be lost in any of this is the fact the two radicals went to Syria. They will, I'm sure stir up more trouble there. They may even start their own terror group with the support of Bashir Assad.

These two radicals should be picked up and interrogated. At the very least the need to be traced and kept under surveillance.

Rocket and terror attacks constantly arrive from the "Palestinian" territories and Israel should do nothing. This report blaming Israel as the cause of "Palestinian" poverty is beyond outrageous. The "Palestinians" attack Israel then expect Israel to treat them as good neighbors. The "Palestinians" have decided to fight with their neighbor and then complain when Israel treats them as an enemy. Why is the "Palestinian" economy in the tank? All they have to do is look at themselves. Israel didn't cause the economy to fail, the "Palestinians" did.

Had they not been sending homicide bombers into Israel there would be no incidents of embarrassment at the border checkpoints. Had the "Palestinians" left all of the equipment the ISraelis left behind in the withdrawl, the "Palestinians" could have already had a blossoming economy. Instead they decided to destroy everything out of anger and hatred of the Jew. Blaming Israel for the "Palestinians" economy is like blaming America and England for the economy of Germany after WWII.

If the "Palestinians" would stop attacking Israel and put all of this energy into their building "nation" the situation would be 180 degrees different. Instead, they choose to allow groups like Hamas, Fatah, Al Aqsa, and the others to dictate what their "country" does. As long as terror is their main export, then their economy will continue to fail. Until they turn on their terror masters they will live in poverty and distress. This is not Israel's fault.

 Israel, Iran and the United States are the countries with the most negative image in a globe-spanning survey of attitudes toward 12 major nations. Canada and Japan came out best in the poll, released Tuesday.

The next time these people ask for help, let them rot. America and Israel rate with Iran and are less favorable than Venezuela and North Korea. How pathetic is this?! In the article the guy talks about the soft power of France and the Military power of the US as possible determinants. What military does France have? For 50 years America was protecting their behinds and what did we get to show for it? We kick the Nazis out Paris despite France's attempt to kiss up to them. Maybe we should have let the Nazis keep France.

This is another one of those times I want to build a wall around our borders and let the rest of the world go to heck in a handbasket. If they don't like us so much they need to stop asking for our money. It's about time we learned to say no.

Take a good hard look at what is being reported on the Walter Reed Medical Center. Take a good hard look at what is coming out about the Veterans Administration. The events we are reading about now are nothing new. It seems that every decade we have stories of the horrendous treatment given our veterans at government run hospitals. This is not a problem that began with the Bush Administration. Nor did it begin with Clinton, former Bush, Reagan, Carter, Nixon, or Johnson. This is a problem that has been going on since the first Major war in the United States. I mean the Revolutionary War. We have never been able to fully take care of our troops after they have been injured in battle.

The reason I recommend taking a good hard look is because this is what we would have to look forward to with Universal Healthcare. This is what happens when the Bureaucracy runs something. Whether it be the DMV or Medical Care. The best Doctors and Nurses do not take part in government run and controlled programs. The people here are paper pushing bureaucrats that maybe just got by in medical school. You get what you pay for. If you live on the dime of the American taxpayer then you get just that, a dimes-worth of care.

Anybody watching these events unfold that still thinks Universal Healthcare is a good idea should be forced to go through Walter Reed or any other VA run hospital. Are all of them bad? Of course not. However, are you willing to risk your life that you get to visit a good one?

The government is not in the job of making sure everyone of it's citizens has good health care. To do this would cost more in bureaucracy than it would actual care. It is up to the individual to provide health care insurance for himself. If he can't, then that is what family is for.

Sunday I posted a piece on the disappearance of an Iranian General.

Here's an updated article on said General.

As long as you don't limit yourself to "popular wisdom" you can come up with the answer.

I start off everyday perusing through Israeli newspaper available online. Everyday I read of Kassam rockets landing in Israel, attacks in Gaza, Ahmadinejad proving his lunacy, failure to follow through on the "Palestinian Unity Government", Anti-Semitism, Ehud Olmert in another scandal, Ehud Olmert going to giveaway more land, Syria building up it's military infrastructure at the border, Hassan Narallah taking cheap shots, etc. etc.

The list is endless and has become mundane. I get tired reading of the same names and situations over and over again. Not only are the events the same, the responses are the same, never solving anything. The more I read the more dismal our human condition appears. Based on the items I read, I post pieces to vent my opinion. Some, in my opinion, are good others are just a bunch of words thrown together out of frustration. In either case, they are nothing more than words and don't seem to have an affect on anything.

Though I am nothing more than a low level peon in the dissemination of information I can fully appreciate those higher in the informational food chain that also get ignored. History and fact need not apply in geopolitical dealings. It's all about feelings and hope. Reality is a distraction. This is what makes it so frustrating.

I tire of writing about a situation that has no chance of being corrected. I am tired of trying to prop up the good guys who refuse to recognize themselves as the good guys. I get tired of denouncing the terrorists while the world throws pity on them. I get tired of bureaucrats who claim to know all, yet achieve nothing.

I am a tiny fish in a massive sea. Townhall has provided a forum for me to vent. But I have made no inroads towards anything positive. Maybe it's my limited writing ability, maybe it's my views. Either way it appears that I have wasted internet space that could be better used for other ventures. If I make no difference then I serve no purpose.

It appears that Israel hasn't learned a thing from history. Talk is that they will be pulling out of the West Bank as well as returning the Golan Heights to Syria. Territory obtained by war will now be returned without any guarantees of peace. Israel's enemies will regain tactical positions from which they can continue to attack Israel. None of this makes sense.

Ehud Olmert may go down as a bigger failure than Lord Chamberlain. England was able to defend themselves until someone came to help. Israel may just commit suicide. 59 years of war and they have had enough. It appears Olmert is ready to throw in the towel and allow the Arab-Islamists to obtain victory through Israeli surrender. He has decided that the promised land isn't worth defending. I would hate to be him when he is in front of his creator.

Why not just pack up the whole country and move it somewhere else like certain people have suggested? If the Israelis are giving up the fight for their country why should they even have a country? If they are turning their back on what was promised to them why should they receive anything?

Frustration and disgust. This is how I feel every time I hear of Israel talking of withdrawing from more territory. It hasn't worked thusfar so why are they still doing it? The Arab-Islamists want Israel dead and the Israelis are helping attain this desire. I just can't make any sense out of it.

 Arab newspapers are hinting that the Mossad and/or the CIA could be behind the disappearance of an Iranian general, Ali Reza Askari, who was last seen February 7 in Istanbul, Channel 10 reported Sunday evening.

It's not surprising that the Arab newspapers would blame this disappearance on the CIA or Mossad. It also wouldn't be a surprise if Iran was the guilty party. Who is this General and where did he stand opposed to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? I'm sure more of these disappearances have taken place and they just aren't being reported.

The average run of the mill Iranian could be brought up on charges and dispensed of with not so much as a peep. However, going after higher level targets allows for the propaganda wheels to begin spinning. Whether they were abducted by "outside agents" or maybe they were on the payroll of "outside agents". This type of activity can be spun in thousands of directions. Most of them in favor of Iranian propaganda. Those that know the truth will remain silent in fear for their own lives. It sure sounds alot like Soviet Russia or Nazi Germany.

Then again, maybe he wasn't kidnapped or killed at all. Maybe he is sitting somewhere under Western protection and spilling the beans on Iran's military ability and nuclear potential. Maybe he has gone underground in order to help "sleeper cells" in other nations. There are a myriad of reasons for his disappearance. Most of them not good.

Anyone that's read a spy novel in the last 50 years could have come up with this strategy. Of course Iran is preparing to unleash terror cells if/when the US or Israel attacks. Of course they have funneled money and personnel into various regions as "sleepers". It doesn't take a genius to figure any of this out. If a fanatic is willing to sacrifice himself to get at a target there is nothing that anyone can do to prevent it. This has been a known fact for centuries.

Any Middle Eastern nation that has open relations with the US or Israel is a prime target for the Islamists. The Islamists want to punish them for dealing with the infidel. This is justified by the fact that Saudi Arabia, Dubai, and some others are considered apostate regimes and need to be decimated. Only Sharia can satisfy an Islamist.

How many "sleeper cells" are out there? Nobody knows. I'm sure the Islamists have actually lost count. How many would act once called upon? Unless none act, does it matter? One act is enough. In this day and age, one act of terror has the potential to kill thousands of people.

According to Adel Assadinia, a former career diplomat who was Iran's consul-general in Dubai and an adviser to the Iranian Foreign Ministry, spies working as teachers, doctors and nurses at Iranian-owned schools and hospitals have formed sleeper cells ready to be "unleashed" at the first sign of any serious threat to Tehran.

This is the world we live in. This is the world we have built. We are responsible for it's development and and now we are responsible for curing the disease we have allowed to spread. Sadly, to rid ourselves of the disease, we may kill ourselves in the process.
