Laura: There is strong speculation that the WikiLeaks document dump could not have occurred without assistance from high up. These leaks have done irreparable damage to American credibility, no ally will ever trust us again. More and more I believe obama was placed in the White House by nefarious forces out to destroy America for good. There is also speculation that White House political operatives had this done in order to damage Hillary Clinton and stop her from presenting a primary challenge to Obama in 2012. Whether done to deliberately destroy American power and prestige or for the purpose of damaging a potential opponent in 2012 and therefore maintain his own political power, Barack Hussein Obama is the most diabolically dangerous man to ever sit in the Oval office.

There is in fact a very strong connection between the two holidays; had it not been for the events that Hanukkah commemorates, there would be no Christmas. Hanukkah is about standing up to those who menace one’s home, family, or way of life as opposed to singing Kumbaya with them. We have often pointed out that science fiction and fantasy societies are based on real human societies, and the one in Battlestar Galactica is no exception. We suspect that it is an alternate history in which Michael Lerner of Tikkun.org and Eric Yoffie of the United “American” “Hebrew” Congregations (now the Union for “Reform Judaism”) were in charge of the Jewish people when the Greeks demanded that the Jews worship the Greek idols. As stated by Yoffie at the Million Mom March rally in 2000, President Obama emerges from the WikiLeaks cables as a weak leader, whose good intentions dissipate in the face of the stubbornness of his Middle Eastern counterparts. Beyond the gossip, the indiscretions and the petty lies, the cables released by WikiLeaks tell a sad story. They depict the fall of the American empire, the decline of a superpower that ruled the world by dint of its military and economic supremacy. President Barack Obama emerges from the cables as a weak, flimsy leader, whose good intentions and lofty visions dissipate like dust in the wind in the face of the conservatism and stubbornness of his Middle Eastern counterparts. The days when American ambassadors were received in world capitals as “high commissioners” are long since gone. The diplomats who wrote the WikiLeaks documents are tired bureaucrats: Nobody rises in their honor and clicks... Netanyahu is quoted as warning that should Iran get the bomb, Arab powers could shift loyalties from Washington to Tehran. Israel’s lobbying to get better American weaponry than U.S.-aligned Arab powers has been complicated by their shared hostility toward Iran, leaked diplomatic cables show. WikiLeaks disclosures from July 2009 document Israeli and U.S. defense delegates debating the merits of arming Saudi Arabia and other Sunni Arab states given doubts over whether Iran can be denied the means for developing nuclear weaponry. Hearing the Israelis’ objections to the planned sale of F-15 fighters and missiles to the Saudis, State Department official Andrew Shapiro argues for “a commonality of interests with the Gulf States, which also view Iran as the preeminent threat.” “We should take advantage of this commonality,” he says. Shapiro’s line appears supported elsewhere in the Wikileaks trove, which includes an account of Saudi... Laura: Only the western left is obsessed with the “palestinians” and Jewish “settlements” while Arab regimes actually couldn’t care less. Contrary to leftist and Obama administration claims, the Israeli-”palestinian” conflict, which in any case is code for blaming everything on Israel, has not been an obstacle in garnering the support of Arab regimes for stopping Iranian nukes. Quite the contrary in that Arab countries have been far more frantically pleading with America to bomb Iran than Israel has. The WikiLeaks revelations have backfired on the anti-Israel crowd, big time. A lethal leak — or a boomerang? Melanie Phillips, Spectator Remember all those stories which were so prominent in the media coverage of wars between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah/ Hamas, that Israel committed war crimes by targeting for missile strikes ambulances carrying the wounded?

Laura: I’ll be waiting for the UN security council to hold an emergency meeting and to declare Egypt guilty of war crimes, as well as statements from the EU and obama administration expressing their outrage over the human rights atrocities against the Coptic Christians of Egypt.

Tonight is the first night of the Jewish holiday Hanukkah, Chanukah. Only part of the story was the Maccabees fight for getting the Greeks out of Israel, and the cleansing and dedication of the Temple. The Chanukah Story was also about a civil war amongst the Jews. Judah and the boys were fighting other Jews who had turned away from their faith by combining it with Greek/Hellenistic practices. The resulting assimilation caused a loss of Jewish faith and tradition, and finally laws against practicing Jewish ritual. Chanukah is a holiday about Jews fighting against assimilation, but the ACLU-types would have us celebrate it by assimilating. by rabbi Meir Kahane H”YD If I were a Reform rabbi; if I were a leader of the Establishment whose money and prestige have succeeded in capturing for him the leadership and voice of American Jewry; if I were one of the members of the Israeli Government’s ruling group; if I were an...

Whitwell is a rural Tennessee town northwest of Chattanooga. Once dependent on coal mining, the local economy crashed some 30 years ago.

Belman By Seth Mandel, AMERICAN THINKER Though it was to be expected — in the spirit of “free and fair” elections — that the White House would say it was “disappointed” that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak shut out the Muslim Brotherhood from the electoral process, how will President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton explain their purposeful strengthening of ties with other Islamists who fund terrorism and undermine U.S. policy in the Middle East and Southeast Asia?

As justification for what it labeled “principled engagement and strategic multilateralism,” top administration officials pointed to the Council’s new Universal Periodic Review (UPR) system. They called the UPR a “good mechanism” (Brimmer, Assistant Secretary of State) and an “important change (Koh, State Department Legal Advisor).
