Setting the conditions for disaster

"No country in the world lets outsiders dictate its policies on fundamental issues of national security. Israel must not be the first to do so...Tuesday Shin Bet Director Yuval Diskin warned of the growing threats to Israel's security emanating from the Gaza Strip and Northern Samaria in the aftermath of the latest war. If the proper steps are not taken to stop the massive transfers of advanced armaments to Gaza, he warned, in just a few years, it will turn into a second south Lebanon. "

It would be nice if the United States can learn from this lesson as well. Unfotunately we have folks within our borders that are in league with those from without.

Coffin Bombs?

 Profiling the Dead

"One of the biggest concerns for prospective airline passengers is the screening process of flight cargo. According to reports, only a small percentage of cargo that is loaded onto planes is screened for explosives. And of the cargo that is in fact screened, rarely does it include large containers. The question needs to be asked: What if, in our laxity, these containers became a preferred method of attack by terrorists? And what if the contents of the containers being used for the attacks were once living and breathing?  Appalling as this may be, it is far from an unfounded notion. Just this past June, two U.S. soldiers were found dead in Iraq, their bodies rigged with explosives. Reports of the incident described the bodies as being “booby-trapped.” As well, in April of 2005, Al-Iraqiya TV aired an interrogation of terrorist Adnan Elias who assisted in the kidnapping and beheading of an Iraqi police officer, whose body was later used as a bomb loaded with TNT."

Defiling the dead, how low can they go?

Fool me Twice, Shame on Me

 U.N. chief says Syria promised to enforce arms embargo on Hezbollah

DAMASCUS, Syria - U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said Friday that Syria would step up border patrols and work with the Lebanese army to stop the flow of weapons to Hezbollah.

Syria will increase its own patrols along the Lebanon-Syria border, and establish joint patrols with the Lebanese army “when possible,” Annan said after meeting with Syrian President Bashar Assad in Damascus.


I'm sorry but in the opinion of this writer the promises made to the UN (AKA Useless Nations) by nations that have gone back on their word on other occassions are virtually worthless. As the saying goes:

"Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me"
