RUDY MAKES OBAMA HIS BITCH

Don't mess with Texas...er uh, New York:

"Having been to that part of the world many times and having developed a clear worldview over many years, John knew where he stood. Within hours, he established a very strong, informed position that let the world know exactly how he'll respond as president. At exactly the right time, John McCain said, "We're all Georgians."

Obama's first instinct was to create a moral equivalency - that "both sides" should "show restraint." The same moral equivalency that he has displayed in discussing the Palestinian Authority and the State of Israel.

Later, after discussing it with his 300 foreign policy advisers, he changed his position and suggested that the "the U.N. Security Council" could find a solution. Apparently, none of his 300 advisers told him that Russia has a veto on any U.N. action. Finally Obama put out a statement that looked ... well, it looked a lot like John McCain's.

Here's some free advice: Sen. Obama, next time just call John McCain."

Damn! Rudy woke up.

US GOVERNMENT: DON'T CALL THEM "JIHADISTS" ANYMORE

You gotta be fucking kidding me...

The U.S. government has launched a new front in the war on terrorism, this time targeting language.

Federal agencies, including the State Department, the Department of Homeland Security and the National Counter Terrorism Center, are telling their people not to describe Islamic extremists as ``jihadists" or "mujahedeen," according to documents obtained by The Associated Press. Lingo like "Islamo-fascism" is out, too.

The reason: Such words may actually boost support for radicals among Arab and Muslim audiences by giving them a veneer of religious credibility or by causing offence to moderates.

For example, while Americans may understand "jihad" to mean ``holy war," it is in fact a broader Islamic concept of the struggle to do good, says the guidance prepared for diplomats and other officials tasked with explaining the war on terror to the public. Similarly, "mujahedeen," which means those engaged in jihad, must be seen in its broader context.

It doesn't say anything about "murderers"...So...Carry on

IT'S OFFICIAL: FAKE TIPSTER WAS AN OBAMA DELEGATE

Confirmation on the story of the alleged Obama delegate who pretended to be an abused child so the police would raid a church that she did not agree with. It's alleged no more...

Plenty is known about who Rozita Swinton is not.

She is not a teenage girl who bore her father's child and wanted to kill herself in Castle Rock. She is not an injured child trapped in a Colorado Springs basement. And she was never a sexually abused teen bride trapped in a polygamist compound in Arizona or Texas.

Who she is,though, is not so clear. A 33-year-old woman with a reasonably clean criminalhistory, Swinton has been active in politics and once sold insurance.

Yet in secret she was someone who could play the part of an anguished child with chilling authenticity. She is a person with either finely honed investigative skills or inside information into the secret details of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. And she's someone smart enough to know just how much information to give police to keep them searching - and how multiple cell phones reduced the odds of getting caught.

After the El Paso County Democratic caucuses and convention, she was named one of the 360 delegates to the state convention at the World Arena on May 17, chosen to support Barack Obama.

Kelly Seaman, a 911 supervisor for the Colorado Springs Police Department, said that more than 10 911 calls from at least three cell phones have been linked to Swinton in recent years. One of those calls also involved Arapahoe County.

Seaman said Swinton would give a little bit of information and then hang up. When dispatchers tried to get back in touch, the cell phone would be turned off. Swinton might then give a piece of information to another agency, or call dispatchers back to give a little more. She would play the part of a scared, crying girl. The calls went well beyond a typical prank, said police spokesman Lt. Skip Arms.

And these are the people knocking on doors for Obama.

EX-EXTREMISTS CALL FOR "WESTERN ISLAM": TRANSLATION - WE'RE WINNING

Islamic theologians convened at the British Museum Tuesday to support the launch of a new think tank to counter Al Qaeda's world view.

Former Islamist radicals in Britain launched a "counter-extremism think-tank" on Tuesday, saying they wanted to reclaim Islam from the violent ideology of al Qaeda.

The Quilliam Foundation, named after a 19th century English convert to Islam who established Britain's first mosque, says it aims to expose Islamism as a false ideology and help Muslims develop a tolerant modern brand of Western Islam.

Of course, I trust these fellas about as far as I can throw them, but, just the fact this discussion is taking place is a clear sign that the good guys are winning the war on terror.

Need more evidence? Well, take a look at Al Qaeda's #2 man throwing a shit fit over his own people:

Al-Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri criticised Muslims for failing to support Islamist insurgencies in Iraq and elsewhere in a new audiotape posted Tuesday on the Internet.

Osama bin Laden's top lieutenant also blasted Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas over their reported readiness to consider a peace deal with Israel.

Al Qaeda is getting more support from former US presidents (Jimmy Carter) than it's getting from its own people. And in what seems to be a reminder to Al Qaeda itself, in a recent internet Q & A with aspiring young jihadists, al-Zawahiri promised that attacks on Western countries were in the works. Just the fact that the question was asked is a sign that even O'Doul's drinking suicide bombers in training are becoming fed up with Al Qaeda's tactics of slaughtering its own people.
