Iran’s Hissy Fit Continues

Iran suspends sailor’s release

Channel 4 News
Iran has rolled back on a pledge to soon free a British woman sailor, delaying her release because of Britain’s threat to freeze relations and refer the issue to the UN Security Council.

The UN Security Council? Heck, what’s Iran worried about? They will have roughly 10 years and over a dozen resolutions through which to hold these sailors before anything gets done that way …

Woman in Hot Water Over Doggie Vote

SEATTLE (June 29) - Duncan the dog is still registered to vote, and his owner isn’t pleased.

Jane Balogh signed up the dog in protest of a 2005 state voter-registration law she thinks makes it too easy for noncitizens to vote. She used a paw print to mark ballots on Duncan’s behalf.

At first, Balogh said she wouldn’t contest a misdemeanor charge of making false statements on a voter registration form. But on Thursday, she pleaded not guilty to the charge that is punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.

She said she changed her mind when election officials claimed her efforts showed the system worked.

“She’s just kind of annoyed because Duncan’s still on the voting rolls,” said her lawyer, Kristen Anderson. “Somebody is clearly not getting the message.”

Illegal Immigrant Sues Because He’s A Criminal

This is down right hilarious! An illegal immigrant (i.e. a criminal) is trying to sue Rep. Tom Tancredo for $5 million because Tom Tancredo used him as an example of the problems of “catch and release”.

Tancredo’s description is accurate and this is yet another case of how our judicial system is tied up with frivolous law suits.

A jailed Iraqi immigrant has sued Rep. Tom Tancredo for $5 million, saying that the congressman defamed him during a controversy over so-called catch- and-release immigration enforcement last year.

The immigrant, Gavan Alkadi, 46, reportedly emigrated to the U.S. at age 15, but has been in legal limbo for the past several years. He faces deportation proceedings prompted by his various brushes with the law.

Colorado Bureau of Investigation records show he has been arrested more than 30 times in Colorado since 1981 on suspicion of offenses that include DUI and assault. Many of those charges were dismissed.

In 2002, he was sentenced to a year in jail for domestic violence and obstructing police in Boulder County.

Deportation proceedings began in 2003, but by the time Alkadi’s deportation order became final in October 2005, the new Iraqi government would not or could not approve his return.

He was released in May 2006, which prompted Tancredo to send a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff - and media outlets - saying he was “shocked” that a “dangerous Iraqi national” was released despite his long criminal record.

Tancredo said it was part of a continuing “catch-and-release” policy by the White House. One outlet quoted Tancredo as saying he was making Alkadi the “poster child” for the issue.

Soon after Tancredo’s letter, Alkadi was re-arrested. He was sentenced last month to a year in jail in connection with an assault in Weld County.

From jail, he filed a handwritten complaint last year, demanding $5 million for defamation of character, saying Tancredo falsely accused him of being a terrorist.

“U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo had caused Me Mental Stress and No Sleep Because I am always Thinking Why and How I Became his Poaster child,” Alkadi wrote in the filing, which includes many spelling and punctuation errors.

Can I say right now that I think the appropriate punishment for Mr. Alkadi is a bullet in the head and burial in an unmarked plot somewhere in the desert? When the government will not hold criminals accountable someone has to.

Besides, this parasite on society won’t be missed.

Saudi Arabia Needs To Shut It’s Pie Hole

Saudi Arabia calls Iraq war “illegitimate occupation”
Euronews.net
One of America’s closest Arab allies has attacked the war in Iraq as an “illegitimate foreign occupation.” Speaking at the start of a summit of the Arab League in Riyadh, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia hit out at the Bush administration.

Keep talking. We’re reloading.

I think you fellas over there with your turbans and your robes and your camels better watch it. Remember we know all about those radical Madrasahs that you guys are running and turning out little jihadis.

More People Flee Oppression For United States

HALLANDALE BEACH – Officials said more than 100 Haitians migrants aboard a wooden fishing boat landed on the city’s beach Wednesday morning. At least five were hospitalized and there was a report one had died at sea. A second death was possible.

The dilapidated 30- to 35-foot single-mast sailboat ran aground a short distance from the beach at Hallandale Beach Boulevard and A1A shortly before 7 a.m. The boat and its human cargo quickly drew a crowd on onlookers.

Please note that I am still waiting for the boat loads of Americans fleeing to places like Haiti to escape the horrific oppression they endure here … besides criminals trying to escape justice and others of that ilk that is.

Judge Pulls Gun To Defend Himself In Court

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 27 (UPI) — A Jacksonville, Fla., judge drew his handgun when an accused child molester was attacked by an alleged victim’s father in court.

“I didn’t know if he was going after me or the bailiffs or the defendant,” Circuit Judge John Merrett told The (Jacksonville, Fla.) Times-Union.

The father, who had not seen the defendant before the court appearance, hurdled a railing and landed several punches on the handcuffed and shackled man before bailiffs restored order.

Merrett said that once he saw the situation was under control, he handed his gun to the court clerk and asked her to lock it in a drawer. Merrett has a concealed weapon permit and said he’d do the same thing again, the newspaper reported.

But Duval County Public Defender Bill White said the incident was frightening. He plans to talk to the chief judge about whether judges should be armed in court.

Excuse me Mr. White, but did I miss the revocation of the Second Amendment and the right of law abiding citizens to be armed at some point in the recent past?

Senate Votes To Hang Troops Out To Dry

Thanks to Senator Chuck Hagel the Senate passed their own version of a funding bill for our troops in Iraq which has a March 2008 date attached for possible withdrawl.

WASHINGTON (AP) -Congressional Democrats are showing no signs of backing down on their rebuke of the Iraq war, insisting President Bush will have to accept some sort of legislative timetable in exchange for the billions of dollars needed to fund the war.

“We would hope that the president understands how serious we are,” said Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., after the Senate voted to uphold a proposal in a war spending bill calling for the troop withdrawal.

With the Senate resuming debate on the $122 billion bill Wednesday, President Bush reminded lawmakers their move will not prompt him to negotiate, but to veto any funding legislation that includes a deadline for withdrawal.

“Members of Congress need to stop making political statements, start providing vital funds for our troops and get a bill to my desk that I can sign into law,” Bush was expected to say in a speech at the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association meeting in Washington. Excerpts were released in advance by the White House. “If Congress fails to pass a bill to fund our troops on the front lines, the American people will know who to hold responsible.”

But Reid and other Democrats say they won’t back down.

“Rather than making all the threats that he has, let’s work with him and see if he can give us some ideas how we can satisfy the wishes of a majority of the Senate, the majority of the House and move forward,” Reid said.

Isn’t it amazing how a President looking for funding to perform his duties as Commander In Chief (which Congress mandated) without allowing Congress to usurp his Constitutional duties is making “threats” as Harry Reid claims.

Do I have to remind these yummy brains in Congress (and all you moonbats cheering this vote who don’t understand or even care about the Constitution) that the only role these people have is to 1) declare war and 2) appropriate funds.

They have NO ability to tell the President how the war must be fought. But the truth is that they don’t have the nuts to un-declare the war and pull funding. So instead they usurp the Constitutional authority of other branches.

And liberal moonbats complain about President Bush “consolidating” power? Maybe you guys and gals need a to come back to reality and join the rest of us here on planet Earth.

Nothing like telling the enemy that we’ll be more than willing to leave before victory eh?

Global Warming Gospel Takes Another Hit

Just remember that the Cascade Mountain snowpack numbers are one of the things radical enviro-Marxists use to justify their claims that man is destroying the Earth and causing Global Warming.

The number is eye-popping, and it was repeated so often it became gospel.

The snowpack in the Cascades, it was said, shrank by 50 percent in the last half-century. It’s been presented as glaring evidence of the cost exacted by global warming — the drying up of a vital water source.

That statistic has been repeated in a government report, on environmental-advocacy Web sites and in media coverage. Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels recently mentioned it in a guest column in The Seattle Times.

Here’s the problem: The number is dead wrong.

The debunking of this statistic, and the question of just how much the state’s snowpack shrank, is stirring up a heated debate among the region’s climate scientists.
On Monday, it escalated further when University of Washington researcher and State Climatologist Philip Mote stripped a colleague of his title as associate state climatologist, triggering concerns that scientific dissent is being quashed. Losing the title doesn’t affect the man’s employment at the UW.
…
After reading Nickels’ February essay in The Times, Albright sent an e-mail to colleagues saying he didn’t see evidence that snowpack was steadily shrinking, much less by 50 percent.

A back-and-forth ensued, involving Albright, co-worker and meteorologist Cliff Mass, and several scientists with the UW’s Climate Impacts Group, a federally funded team of researchers that plays a prominent role analyzing climate change in the Northwest.

All quickly agreed that the 50 percent number was wrong. It may have originally come from an editing error in a 2004 report issued by an Oregon panel of scientists.

The percentage decrease, as the article points out all depends on when you start looking at the snowpack and who you ask. In fact, and probably most of you don’t know this, but the Earth is currently in what is considered an ice age (ice and the poles and glaciers on the continents) and the Earth has been much warmer than it is now even before evil humans came to exist.

Guess it must have been dinosaur farts back then that caused global warming huh?

Oh, and by the way, all you folks that want to drive “zero-emission” vehicles that emit only H2O to try to curb global warming because your hubris makes you think that you are that important remember that water vapor is many times more a greenhouse gas than CO2. Just food for thought.

US Can’t Account for 600000 Fugitives

WASHINGTON Mar 26, 2007 (AP)– Teams assigned to make sure foreigners ordered out of the United States actually leave are grappling with a backlog of more than 600,000 cases and can’t accurately account for the fugitives’ whereabouts, the government reported Monday. The report by the Homeland Security Department’s inspector general found that the effectiveness of teams assigned to find the fugitives was hampered by “insufficient detention capacity, limitations of an immigration database and inadequate working space.” Even though more than $204 million was allocated for 52 fugitive operations teams since 2003, a backlog of 623,292 cases existed as of August of 2006, the report said. The number of illegal immigrants in the United States has been estimated at between 11.5 million and 12 million. About 5.4 percent of them are believed to be “fugitive aliens,” those who have failed to leave the country after being ordered out.The Voice
