US ADMITS IRAN IS AIDING AL-QAEDA
The Washington Post reported on a "decade-old relationship" between al Qaeda's Ayman al-Zawahiri and Ahmad Vahidi, now Iran's minister of defense. In 2004, the 9/11 Commission wrote that "there is strong evidence that Iran facilitated the transit of al Qaeda members into and out of Afghanistan before 9/11, and that some of these were future 9/11 hijackers."
The U.S. finally acknowledges the terror connection. And finally US officials admit that Al Qaeda had been working in and with Iran leading up to the September 11, 2001 Islamic attacks on America. The question remans, why didn't Bush invade Iran? Had Bush removed the head of the snake, the world would be a far different place, a far better place right now.
U.S. Accuses Iran of Aiding Al-Qaeda Joby Warrick, Washington Post
The Obama administration said Thursday that Iran is helping al-Qaeda funnel cash and recruits into Pakistan for its international operations. Documents filed by the Treasury Department accuse Iran of facilitating an al-Qaeda-run support network that transfers large amounts of cash from Middle East donors to al-Qaeda's top leadership in Pakistan's tribal region.
A Syrian national who directs the network has been allowed to operate in Iran since 2005, and
senior Iranian officials know about money transfers and allow the movement of al-Qaeda foot soldiers through its territory, administration officials said. "By exposing Iran's secret deal with al-Qaeda, allowing it to funnel funds and operatives through its territory, we are illuminating yet another aspect of Iran's unmatched support for terrorism," said David S. Cohen, the Treasury Department's undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence. (Washington Post)See also below Observations: Al-Qaeda in Iran - Editorial (Wall Street Journal)
That there have long been links between al Qaeda and the government of Iran isn't exactly news.
In 2003, the Washington Post reported on a "decade-old relationship" between al Qaeda's Ayman al-Zawahiri and Ahmad Vahidi, now Iran's minister of defense. In 2004, the 9/11 Commission wrote that "there is strong evidence that Iran facilitated the transit of al Qaeda members into and out of Afghanistan before 9/11, and that some of these were future 9/11 hijackers." Throughout the war in Iraq, there was extensive intelligence that Iran was supporting the Mesopotamian branch of al Qaeda, never mind that they were terrorizing the country's Shiite population.
Yet it was only yesterday that the U.S. government formally acknowledged the connection between the world's most dangerous terrorist group and the leading state sponsor of terrorism. In a move by the Treasury Department, six members of a terrorist network based in Iran were sanctioned for serving as "the core pipeline through which al Qaeda moves money, facilitators and operatives from across the Middle East to South Asia," principally meaning Pakistan and Afghanistan. The leader of the group, Ezedin Abdul Aziz Khalil, is a Syrian who has been operating from Iran under an agreement signed in 2005.
The sanctions will likely have little effect on the terror network, at least so long as its members remain in the Islamic Republic. But at least it ought to put to rest the idea that doctrinal differences all but forbid radical Sunnis to make common cause with radical Shiites. As in politics, terrorism can make strange bedfellows, especially when there's a shared hatred of the United States.
The Obama Administration has come a long way since the days when it thought it could strike a "grand bargain" with Iran's mullahs, and yesterday's move is another good step. Above all, it's a reminder of why a regime that has no qualms serving as al Qaeda's facilitator can on no account be permitted to build a nuclear bomb.
THE LIBERALS DREAM REALIZED: HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS IN CAIRO DEMAND ISLAMIC STATE IN EGYPT
Ah, the powerful sulphuric stench off the fetid blossoms of the Islamic spring.
And here we have more poisonous fruit from the mainstream media's pounding propaganda campaign that paved the way for an Islamic sharia state in Egypt. The media couldn't help themselves. Endlessly blathering on Liberty! Democracy! Jihad! Sharia! (Though it hardly rolled off the tongue, more like they choked on it.) And still no mea culpa by the media. They suffered a sort of tourette syndrome even throwing their female journalists (ie Lara Logan.)
And now this.
We await same intense and extensive mainstream media coverage and obsession that we witnessed immediately after and in the ensuing days of the Norway massacre to determine those responsible for the call for a brutal and oppression Islamic state in Egypt. We await the same intense and extensive mainstream media coverage and deep investigative reporting on the ideology that commands the sharia. We await the same intense and extensive mainstream media coverage and intense investigation of the ideology that incites jihadi wars, land appropriations, cultural annihilations, gender apartheid and enslavements.
I expect extremists Brian Williams, Anderson Cooper, the NY Times, LA Times, IHT, CNN, BBC, and all members of the mainstream meda et al, to be just as rabidly obsessed and consumed with investigating their role in cheerleading for the overthrow and downfall of the US-allied Mubarak government.
We await the apologies from the mainstream media for a Muslim Brotherhood Egypt. Brian Williams, you and your fellow travelers are cowards. Dangerous cowards.
Where are the wall-to-wall reports on the evil global agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood and their stated goal of establishing a universal caliphate? Where are the probing investigative news reports on what a universal caliphate means or what living under the sharia is like for women, minorities, and non-Muslims?
Cairo protesters call for an Islamic state in Egypt Globe and Mail
Calls for an Islamic state have taken over Cairo’s Tahrir Square as the largest demonstration since February has been mobilized by the country’s Islamist organizations.
They have come in a show of force to demand that the country’s caretaker authority, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, cease its plans to present a set of principles that will form a framework for a new constitution.
Islamist groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood, the former terrorist organization Gamaa Islamiya and disparate Salafist bodies argue that only God’s word is greater than a constitution and that only a parliament chosen by free election can set the terms for a constitution.The groups believe that they will poll enough support to dominate such a parliament and thereby set the terms.
They fear that a kind of bill of rights could close off the possibility of a state run by Islamic laws.
The secular youths who once dominated this central Cairo square are in a distinct minority these days, and especially today, dominated as it is by Islamists.
Leaders of the original secular groups such as the April 6 Movement have agreed with Islamist leaders that neither side will confront the other today.
In the past 24 hours, the secularists won agreement from the Islamists that the day would be known as the Day of Unity, rather than the Day of Sharia as called for by the Islamists.
No one, however, appears to have told the hundreds of thousands of Islamist supporters packed together in Tahrir Square in the midday sun.
“I fear there will be violence,” said Hisham Kassem, former editor of the independent al Masry al Youm newspaper, and former vice-president of the liberal Ghad Party.
“This effort is beginning to show the deep divide in the protesters,” Mr. Kassem said.
“They no longer are united to opposition to a dictator, and are seriously conflicted about the way ahead.”
UPDATE: More bad news, Mubarak will stand trial. When will Qaradawi stand trial and Nasrallah, Assad, or any of the thousands of Muslim leaders and imams inciting to genocide?
Mubarak declared fit to stand trial
CAIRO: The toppled Egyptian president, Hosni Mubarak, his two sons and several others charged with plotting to kill hundreds of anti-government demonstrators would face a very public trial in Cairo beginning next Wednesday, a senior Egyptian official said.The announcement on Thursday came after the Egyptian Health Minister, Amr Helmy, reported that Mr Mubarak's health was stable enough for him to be transported to Cairo.
This allayed fears among Egyptians that the 83-year-old former president would escape a trial or that it would be postponed - which probably would have fuelled massive protests.

US TROOPS IN MIDEAST COMMANDED TO ABIDE BY SHARIA LAW DURING RAMADAN
More outrageous surrender demanded of our brave troops by the complicit elite in the Obama administration. Respect for the sharia? Respect for the dehumanization and diminishment of women? Respect for honor killings? Islamic antisemitism? Ethnic cleansing? Gender apartheid? Hatred of non-Muslims? Homicide bombings? Jihad?
Respect for sharia? WTH are our troops doing over there if respect for the sharia is US foreign policy?
US troops in Mideast told to abide by sharia law during Ramadan July 28, 2011 by creepingDidn’t critics of anti-sharia laws, including Muslims, swear that sharia law only applies to Muslims? Religion of intolerance. If it ain’t halal, they don’t tolerate it. via Troops in Mideast given guidance on Ramadan – Middle East – Stripes.
As Muslims prepare to observe the holy month of Ramadan with fasting and prayer, U.S. troops across the Middle East are being reminded to respect the customs of the societies around them. Among the guidelines: Do not eat, drink, smoke or chew gum in public during the daily fast, and dress appropriately: no shorts or short skirts.
During Ramadan, which this year begins Aug. 1, Muslims refrain from eating or drinking between sunup and sundown.
Among guidance issued to U.S. military deployed in Muslim majority countries, the Bahrain-based command of U.S. Navy 5th Fleet posted guidance for sailors and their family members to heed during Ramadan when off base.
BAND OF MILITARY MOTHERS AND WONDER WOMEN RUN INTERFERENCE FOR JOHN BOLTON FROM ANTISEMITE CODE PINK ATTACK (VIDEO)
CODEPINK attempted to attack an amused John Bolton. This is the level of subversion and revolutionary violence we see increasing on the left.
The communists and Jew haters from Code Pink were back at it this week after returning from their failed nazi mission, aka the Gaza jihad flotilla. And on Tuesday, the hardcore leftists harassed Ambassador John Bolton outside the Congressional Building. That’s when a band of military mothers came to his rescue. My soul sisters, Bev Perlson of Band of Mothers and fierce patriot Katie O'Malley, were out there, flanking J to the B. Katie sent me this on this grotesque lack of respect for an American hero, stateman and patriot:
FYI: Bev Perlson, founder of Band of Mothers, and Debbie Lee, a Gold Star mother, surrounded Ambassador Bolton with military support signs and
protected him from the Code Pink attack. Then they got Code Pink kicked off the corner, which is why the video shows the Pinkos walking away. They didn’t have a permit. Blue Star and Gold Star moms protected Bolton from the vile leftists.
O'Malley opines,
"Hi Pamela,
"thanks...what you don't really see if the police pushing them across the street...and John Bolton laughing at them.....he was Ambassador to the UN with no power to declare or vote for war...how is he a war criminal....asshats"Not to worry, Ambassador Bolton, the babes have your back, bigtime.
And warrior Mom, Bev Perlson wrote,"The Band of Mothers had secured a permit to stand for our troops on the Cannon Bldg corner in DC this past week and I am proud to say we stood for Ambassador John Bolton too!"

PAMELA GELLER, AMERICAN THINKER: MUMBAI VS OSLO
Go, read my column in today's American Thinker.
Mumbai vs. Oslo By Pamela GellerJust days before a barbarian (alone and belonging to no one, no group, just the twisted sickness of a legend in his own broken mind) murdered over seventy people in Norway, the city of Mumbai was attacked in a brutal jihad by Muslim extremists, again. Hear about that? Not so much.
But one cold-blooded killer who has been planning a slaughter in Norway (setting his plan in motion since before 9/11) has become the rallying cry of the dhimmedia in service to the most radical and extreme ideology on the face of the earth.
Where is the same obsessive drive to determine the motivation and the manifesto behind the jihad? Where are the investigative reports on the imams and the mosques that teach, advance, and prescribe violence? Where is the Woodward and Bernstein team to investigate what motivated a Muslim to gun down U.S. soldiers in Arkansas?
Where's the round-the-clock coverage of the Muslim Najibullah Zazi, who plotted to blow up the New York subway system with the help of his father and his imam on the anniversary of 9/11? Where's the relentless outcry and hand-wringing over the ideology that attracts young Muslims in America to join Muslim armies in Somalia? Why are there no television specials on why Osama bin Laden quoted Allah and the Koran extensively? What manifesto incited four Muslims in a jihad plot to bomb New York City synagogues and shoot down military planes with stinger missiles?
Where is the pained outcry over Fort Hood jihadi Major Nidal Malik Hasan and his PowerPoint presentation on Islam and the jihadic doctrine? What motivated a Pentagon attack suspect back in June (a Marine, no less) to plot to bomb the Department of Defense? Was it his religious Al Qaeda notebook? This same pious Muslim was found to be responsible for recent random shootings at military installations in and around Washington, D.C. Diane Sawyer, call your office.
Did Brian Williams, who tried to smear Robert Spencer Monday night with this Norwegian nut, look deeply into the ideology and manifesto that motivated more than one imam who was found guilty of plotting to blow up the fuel tanks at JFK airport, which would have made 9/11 look like amateur hour?
Where is the New York Times' in-depth investigation of who and what inspired six American Muslims (including two imams), who were charged with aiding the jihad by providing the Taliban "material support to a conspiracy to murder, maim and kidnap persons overseas, as well as conspiring to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization"?

Big thanks to Craig Edwards of the excellent website solidprinciples.com, who recorded the audio from my appearence today with Jaz McKay and posted it to You tube.
Pamela Geller Statement On Anders Behring Breivik
With the release of ‘2083 — A European Declaration of Independence‘ by Anders Behring Breivik, the media stretched itself to tie Blogger/Author Pamela Geller to the hip of Anders Behring Breivik's actions. Given the fact that Geller has already addressed the clear absurdly of such a connection on her site Atlas Shrugs, it has done little to reduce the stigma planted by the media in a move that was deliberately defamatory.
This audio was obatined from Pamela Geller's segment on 'The Jaz McKay Show' on KNZR 1560 AM.
