Cypriots Stunned After Online Banking Is Suspended During Emergency Bank Holidays
Category: World
/ Mar 19, 2013 4:45PM EDT
Emergency bank holidays in Cyprus affected customers in cyberspace who were greeted on Tuesday (March 19) with messages saying online transfers were suspended. Websites for a number of Cypriot banks displayed messages in English, Russian and Greek informing customers that online banking and international transfers were disabled during bank holidays declared for March 19 and 20. Of almost 70 billion euros in deposits held on the island nation, a little less than half is held by non-residents and most are believed to be Russian. There is no official sum available in Russia or Cyprus for the amount Russian banks, firms and individuals hold in Cyprus. Outside of cyberspace, stunned Cypriots emptied cash machines over the weekend and banks are to remain shut on Tuesday and Wednesday to avoid a bank run. The island's stock exchange also suspended trading for another two days. Cyprus's parliament is due to discuss later on Tuesday a levy on bank deposits agreed at the weekend as part of a bailout deal to avert an imminent default for the euro zone state. Cyprus' president said on Tuesday that parliament is likely to reject the move. (Video Source: REUTERS)

I feel you on old school gaming. I love the 16-bit era!
I've always felt that the gaming industry abandoned 2D gaming way too quickly.
Those were the good old days of gaming in my opinion....
Say, you should give Shadowrun on the Sega Genesis a try.
It's a completely different game than the SNES version and it's one of my favorite Sega Genesis games.
sounds goodPosted: Mar 24, 2007 12:00AM PST by reality322
i been lookin for that game but couldnt find it, it looked different from the SNES version. i'll get it sometime soon
thanksPosted: Mar 27, 2007 12:00AM PST by reality322

Skip to comments.Sen. John Edwards Fuzzy Memory (The Music Stops and One is Left Standing - my title)

FUZZY MEMORY: Edwards is obscure about his knowledge of pre-Sept. 11 alert
By Kevin Begos
Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., and Rep. Richard Burr, R-5th, hold seats on congressional intelligence committees that had pre-Sept. 11 information about the possibility that Osama bin Laden's terrorist network might hijack American airliners.
But the two politicians have very different answers about what they knew, and when.
Asked specifically if he knew in August about the general warning that al-Qaida might be planning to hijack airplanes, Edwards was vague at first. "I don't know. Not that I'm aware of," Edwards, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, told the Winston-Salem Journal.
But Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., said yesterday on NBC's Today show that "we were aware of that general warning the president got." Shelby is vice chairman of the Intelligence Committee.
Edwards' story seemed to change as the day progressed.
"We received generic information over a period of time about Osama bin Laden, al-Qaida, the possibility of attacks," he said during one interview.
Later, Edwards said, "I don't specifically remember discussions about hijacking, but I suspect hijacking could have been part of that discussion."
Edwards' fuzzy memory was sharply at odds with Burr's. Burr is a member of the House Intelligence Committee, and both committees receive substantially the same briefings.
"The House Intelligence Committee was given the same information," Burr said of the basic outlines President Bush got in early August.
Yesterday evening, a Democratic source said that members of the Senate Intelligence Committee had been able to compare the briefing they were given on Aug. 7 with what Bush was given the previous day, and that the Senate version had significantly less detail.
The different stories from Edwards and Burr mark a shift in the political climate, said Larry Sabato, a professor of political science at the University of Virginia.
"What strikes me is that suddenly Sept. 11 has become very partisan," Sabato said. "That's something we had avoided for all these months. And so Edwards and other Democrats are going after Bush with a sledgehammer, whereas the Republican members of Intelligence are trying to support the White House line."
Edwards said that something had gone wrong in the system of handling intelligence, but he dodged a question about his own responsibility.
"There's all this information out there that sent out warning signs," Edwards said of pre-9/11 intelligence. "Some of it was apparently at the FBI, some of it was at the CIA. My point is that there were all these warning signs that somebody should have followed up and taken action on."
Edwards said on Good Morning America that "there should have been bells and whistles going off." Later, asked specifically whether the Senate Intelligence Committee had, in retrospect, failed to respond properly to threats that its members knew of, Edwards didn't answer.
Sabato said that Edwards' silence doesn't make much sense.
"If he's on the Senate Intelligence Committee, then he bears some responsibility, albeit less than Bush. He cannot totally escape the same questions," Sabato said.
Burr tackled the pre-9/11 intelligence issue head-on.
"We had the opportunity, and chose not to change the level of security at airports, or immigration, or anything," Burr said. "We're as much to blame for having not increased airport security - if that's what it took - given that there was a potential threat.
"The fact is, with the information the administration had in hand, our intelligence agencies had in hand, the intelligence committees within Congress had in hand - none of us could predict what happened," Burr said.
"But you know, the tremendous thing about hindsight is we're all perfect," he added.
Burr said that although the House committee had been briefed on a general threat, the situation had to be viewed in context.
"That was not the first warning and/or analytical report that suggested that hijacking, and/or plane-aircraft, was a potential terrorist tool. I think the first goes back to the mid-90s," Burr said.
Such general reports are not the same as a specific warning, he said. "To suggest that was a warning, I think might be a misstatement," Burr said of the hijacking information last August.
Sabato said the bottom line is simple. "The truth is, nobody saw this coming," he said.
Stephen Hess, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington, said that Edwards is on firm ground when he criticizes the way the administration is putting together its Homeland Security defense.
"It seems to me there's a lot of room for improvement," said Hess, who served in the White House during the Eisenhower, Nixon, and Ford administrations.
But Hess also pointed out that after Pearl Harbor and the Kennedy assassination, people sifted back through history and found stray bits of evidence, and tried to find blame.
"It is also a staple of all conspiracy theories," Hess said of such discoveries. "And it's the conspiracy theorists who are usually at fault. They always fail to factor in incompetence."
Could it be that someone within the Democratic party is orchestrating a media event that is equally embarassing to President Bush and Senator Edwards. This way, they can attempt to damage the President's appeal and cripple a contender? Edwards did not exactly shine like the Golden Boy like he was supposed to on his last outing on Meet the Press. Perhaps the music has stopped and he does not have a chair...

Warms my heart to see "Pretty boy Edwards" get yet another piece of bad press.
Yes, mine too! I can think of only a few pols more deserving of it than he is.
I think you give the Dems too much credit: the truth -- in this case, that Edwards also knew about the warnings -- never stands in the way of spin. Clinton told lies on national TV, and got away with it -- why would they think the same tactics won't work now?
John Edwards is a blow-dried Clinton clone.
Don't worry, if this whole "pretty boy senator" thing doesn't pan out, he can always go back to his old job.
His mentor, x42, doesn't have that luxury.
I think that's pretty much a reach to draw that conclusion. After seeing the Democrats flail around for the past 10-12 months, I don't think they are smart enough to pull it off.
"I want to be the most accessible senator that North Carolina has ever had."
Somehow, I don't think being FReeped is the "accessibility" he had in mind!

There was NO "warning" in the briefing. The media and democrats are spinning ... On August 6, 2001 the president received a presidential daily briefing that was an analytic report, not a warning briefing. It was an analytic report that talked about bin Laden's historic methods of operation from 1997-1998
I think the question was would they do it .. not if the were smart enough to pull it off ..
All I know is that I would not put ANYTHING pass the Democrats
If you're someone in the Democratic party interested in "thinning the herd" of potential rivals for 2004, you don't have to be smart - you have to be ruthless. The fact that Bush is getting roughed-up in the process is a bonus in their eyes.
Politics ain't bean-bag.
I mean, isn't that the key word that Bob Shrum stuck in his ear?
One word: Hillary!
Only she wasn't quite as sneaky as she thought. Ari called her on her behavior today at the WH press briefing. He said that Bloomberg called the WH for info while the junior Senator from NY marched to the Senate floor demanding an explanation. Only she messed up. She listed dates that she was aware of that general warnings were given. One of those happened to be in January of 2001 while her co-president still held the executive office.
If this is a spin by somebody wanting to discredit GWB & a likely contender that's being spun as the next BJC, look no further than Hillary!
He is dumb as a bag of rocks, and the dims need a new candidate...enter hildebeest.
I still don't believe they are smart enough to pull it off, ruthless or not. Everything they have done since Bush took office has been hit-or-miss (mostly miss). They don't coordinate with each other, there have not been any coordinated effective attacks. I think they started out in the hole when they assumed Bush would be easy to take apart. They found out he wasn't and have been left in the dust ever since, particularly since 9-11. They have only beenaiming at targets of opportunity and it isn't working out for them. As November draws closer expect them to become more and more irrational in their haphazard and undeveloped attacks.
This is proof positive that Rush reads FR, for I posted this exact same thing here just yesterday!!!!
Typical shyster lawyer legal mumblings: "I don't recall, but it could have happened..." Always leave yourself a little wiggle room to slither about it.
I'm telling you, I don't know how any person with at least a half an ounce of brains could pull the lever for an ambulance-chasing bum like this.
My latest letter to Johhny Boy Edwards:
Shame on you Senator Edwards.
First you spend all of your time gallivanting off to Iowa, New Hampshire and the NY talk shows.
Then you embarrass yourself and NC on Meet the Press last weekend when you couldn't answer a single question on how you would lead America.
Finally, you unfairly and unjustly criticize our Commander-in-Chief for failing to do 'something' before 9/11. You had the same information, if you weren't asleep in your Senate Intelligence Committee meetings.
Shame on you,
TC Rider
He also passes off comments as his own that were posted by Freepers.
But I think the damage to Edwards is collateral, so to speak. The target here is Bush. The polls keep looking worse and worse and election day is getting closer and closer. The dems are desperate for something to take the shine off Bush as a successful war leader and they hope this will do it.
IMHO it won't work. As has been posted, vague warnings that airplanes could be used as a terror weapon go back years - to Clinton's first term. The intel was too vague to trigger specific action. And Clinton ignored terror for years despite Mogadishu, El Khobar, WTCI, the Africa Embassies and the Cole - with Algore and Hillary! at his side. I think people will be offended the dems are trying to make this a political issue.
The question to that Jeopardy answer is: Who is the Senate Intelligence Committee?
Unfortunately the SIC was befuddled with folks like Edwards falsly filling the space of someone with reasonable intelligence....
Edwards' evasive response to this question will just remind people of a slimy lawyer tactic. Pretty boy did himself some damage here.
This is just like Daschle's "secret government" claim that he was unaware of secret government bunkers, when later in the day he was forced to admit that he had been at one of the bunkers.
You can smell this like a steaming turd on a hot sidewalk!
Gore is a footnote under stupid in the dictionary. The DNC wants him to go away.
Lieberman is a bigger fool than Carter... Daschle, Gephardt and Biden?... ha, ha, ha!
2004 is a long ways off. If the dems make a killing in 2002, Bush is in a fight for his political life and our own sanity.

N.C. Republican Party Calls on John Edwards to Retract False Accusations that President Bush Had Prior Knowledge of September 11th Attacks
(Raleigh, N.C.) - North Carolina Republican Party Chairman Bill Cobey today called on Senator John Edwards to retract his false and destructive rhetoric accusing President Bush of prior knowledge of the September 11th terrorist attacks on America. Cobey asked citizens to contact Senator Edwards and tell him North Carolina stands with our President. "John Edwards' presidential ambitions know no bounds. Little more than a week after he was roundly criticized for his inability to coherently address important national issues on NBC's "Meet the Press," Edwards once again proved his lack of judgment by falsely accusing the President of prior knowledge of the Sept. 11th attacks.
"John Edwards' opportunistic accusations fly in the face of even his Democrat colleagues Bob Graham and Joe Lieberman," said Cobey. "Responsibility for the dreadful attacks on America lies solely on the terrorists who committed those evil acts. I ask all North Carolinians to contact John Edwards and tell him this is no time for partisan finger-pointing at our President."
Armed with the apparent clarity of hindsight, Edwards claimed Thursday on national television that the President should have foreseen the unprecedented attacks:
"We have three huge warning signs. We've got terrorists connected to al-Qaeda out in Arizona, engaging in flight training, number one. Number two, we've got Moussaoui arrested and being interrogated in Minnesota. And number three, we've got the president being briefed while he's on vacation in Texas about the possibility of these airplanes being hijacked. I mean, did it - was anything done about any of those things?" (Sen. Edwards, ABC's "Good Morning America," May 16, 2002)
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Bob Graham and Senate Government Affairs Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman both rebuked Edwards' position.
When asked if the 9/11 attacks were foreseeable, Lieberman flatly rejected the notion: "Oh I think we've got to be very careful about reaching that kind of conclusion. Remember, this is from media reports, not from anything I or as far as I anyone else has seen I think it is very unfair to reach any conclusion about President Bush's behavior here." (Sen. Lieberman, Fox News Channel, May 16, 2002)
When asked if he thought the President should have seen the attacks coming given briefing information he was provided, Graham said: "Again, I don't think it is fair to ask the president of the United States, with all of the responsibilities that he has, to take on that operational role." (Senator Bob Graham, CNN, May 16, 2002)
Edwards, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, regularly received intelligence briefings that assessed the terrorist threats facing America prior to September 11th, making his claims that President Bush should have foreseen the horror of those attacks even more transparent and erroneous.

She is very sunny and we talk a lot (so also very good to practise some english). I suggest to everyone Who want to pass really good time in Amsterdam to come in Melody's house, the center is very easy to rich 10 min with bike and 15 min with tram but all the important attractions are nearer like Van Gogh Museum, Heineken experience Rijkmiseum, house of Balls (you don't have to change any tram with Numbers 2 and 16 you will rich all attractions) also good connected with Shippol Airport with bus Numbers 197 (35 min)
Have a good TIME!
An enjoy your stay in Amsterdam!
I only stayed for one night and did not have a lot of time to speak with Melody, but she seemed like a friendly person. She invited me to come along to a concert but unfortunately I couldn't make it. The room was basic but suited me perfectly and I enjoyed the nice shower before leaving in the morning. Thanks Melody!

What was your source for this quilting project?
Online Photo or Website
Name of website or photo Toy Trucks
What are you most proud of? The machine quilting on the quilt. Only wished that I had used heavy thread for the quilting. Also the variety of fabric was very fun to pick out.
It is still available on that website--just search for "toy trucks" and it will come up. The pattern is $8.50, very easy to put together and fun shopping for all the different fabrics!
Do you have a pattern for the truck quilt?
I've gone to art.com and I am having trouble finding it. ..any suggestions
Cute. Love the bright colors for a little boy.
Where did you find the blue and green fabric around the sides?

Joey Gerard's is retro done right
So, there's this thing about food and memory.
Joey Gerard's, the pair of Bartolotta supper clubs that opened this year in Greendale and Mequon (and there might be more in the future), taps into that mighty connection. It goes full-on retro in its homage to Wisconsin's meat-and-potato-centric social centers, with some Hollywood glamour thrown in. »Read Full Article(20)

I've only had my Thrive for a few days and I love it except for one thing. The camera simply does not work. I hit the Camera shortcut, the app starts, but I see nothing at all where I would expect to see the camera image. The settings work, at least I can select and change them all, but no image ever appears.
Anyone else had this problem? Do I just have a dead camera?
Same problem or if I am really lucky error message stating cannot connect to camera.
try to reset the tablet to factory settings...if this does not work...bring back to the reseller...
I get the "cannot connect to camera" error message after a couple of attempts to take a picture, it also force closes on me.
By factory reset, do you mean wiping all the data completely? The "Factory Data Reset"?
yup, its under privacy...this could be a bug on the system or a downloaded app could cause the issue...if it still does not work, one thing to do...bring back to reseller to have it changed...just my 2cents...
07-20-2011 11:08 AM - edited 07-20-2011 11:09 AM
Yeah, knew where it was, I've had an HTC Evo for about a year now. The way its camera worked was my first clue to the fact that the Thrive's camera wasn't working correctly. I tried it, it didn't work, camera is still non-functional. I suspect that it's the auto-focus, it's enabled and that seems to be where it freezes up.
The only thing that irritates me about having to bring it back to exchange is that I just put a Zagg screen protector on it. As I found out the hard way, they don't like to come off and then go back on after they've been on fro a couple days. I'm willing to bet that Best Buy won't want to give me a new one, either. Oh well. If that's the worst problem I have this year, I'll be doing just fine.
you could just try, there is no harm in trying...I think if this is a issue with the software, try contacting the forums admin...maybe they do have some fix if its a sofware issue...
I'm having the same issue with my new Thrive. The front facing camera works fine, but when I press the soft button to switch to the rear facing 5MP camera, I receive the "cannot connect to camera" error. I performed a hard reset, where the factory settings were reinstated, with no luck. I'm not sure if this is a firmware or hardware issue. Toshiba, please advice.
I just purchased the 16GB version of the Thrive Tablet and am having the the symptoms listed in this forum concerning the on board camera. I called the support desk and was informed to send mine in for repairs. They send you a box for shipping if you pay $24.95, or you can box it yourself but you will be responsible if it is damaged in shipment. I love the device but as with all manmade items experience sometimes mine came with a fault straight out of the box.
Call the support desk and send your Thrive in for repairs if your camera does not work. I did the factory reset step four times without any luck. The bad part is having to send something in to get it repaired straight out of the box.
7 to 10 day turnaround, I was told.
if the tab is out of the box and the camera is not working...one thing to do is return the tab...
I had the dead camera problem on my newly purchased Thrive and I was able to correct it in about 2 minutes.
First the standard disclaimer - This fix is very simple, but it might void your warranty and could cause permanent damage to your tablet if you're not careful. Please don't attempt this if you're not used to working on electronics.
My problem was a loose connection where the camera ribbon cable attaches to the main board.
The camera ribbon cable runs from the camera, underneath the battery, then under an approximately 1" x 1.5" piece of black tape that's next to the battery connector.
To get access to the ribbon cable connector, remove the back cover and the battery, then carefully remove the black tape that covers the ribbon cable connector that's next to where the battery plugs in. Remove the black tape from the back (flat side) to the front edge. Visually inspect to see if the ribbon cable is fully seated in the socket.
If the ribbon cable is not seated, use a sharp thin plastic object to gently push on each side of the ribbon cable connector to seat it firmly into the socket. There's a small piece of thin clear tape over the connector, but in my case it was already unstuck. You may need to gently peel this tape back to get the cable seated. I cut a 1" x 1/4 chunk out of an old credit card to use as an insertion tool.
Once the ribbon cable is fully seated, replace the clear thin tape, then the black tape, then the battery, then the cover.
Hope this helps someone out there!
PS - I swapped in my cool new blue back cover when I did this. That was simple, except that when I went to test the camera, it mostly worked, but was very blurry. I was soooo relieved to see the white tape from the new back cover obscuring the camera lens. Once I took the cover off and removed the white tape over the lens, the camera worked fine.
I'd like to try that with mine. If I could figure out how to remove the back. Can't find instructions anywhere for that.

Best Doctor I've had since childhood
Dr. Kelley listens, and allows me to ask questions. He has a calm, comfortable, bedside manner; I never feel embarrassed, anxious or uneasy under his care. Dr. Kelley gives sound advice, and conveys a sense of being caring in a non-intrusive, non-judgmental way. I feel he is truly an excellent physician, and wish others would follow his example.
Dr. Kelley is a great doctor. Very caring, compassionate professional.
I lived in Phoenix for 4 years and went through 5 doctors before I found Dr. Kelly. He is so thorough and knows what he is doing. I went to Dr. Kelly for 5 years until I moved out of Arizona. The only thing I miss about Arizona is Dr. Kelly and his nurse Anita. I rarely waited more than 15 minutes after my appointment time. Dr. Kelly always tried to answer my questions even if they weren't about what my appointment was for.Dr. Kelly always did what ever he could do before sending me to a high priced specialist.Dr. Kelly is truly concerned about his patients.
Dr. Kelley is very caring--always follows up to give you test results quickly. Spends time with you and answers all questions. Puts you at ease. Warm and personable but very professional
Dr. Kelley and his staff are great. I looked for a long time before I found a doctor that I liked and trusted. I typically like to see female doctors, but he's amazing. His PA is also great. They always get me in quickly when necessary and aren't afraid to challenge the insurance companies to get you what you need for your health. Love him!

ODESSA - L.J. Soler of Dimmitt improved on his previous best in the long jump by a half-foot to claim a win in the event to highlight area performances Friday in the first day of the Region I-3A track meet at Ratliff Stadium.
Soler was one of two area athletes to finish at least in the top two and earn state berths in the field events. He leaped 22 feet, 812 inches, topping his previous best of 22-212.
His best was needed as Adam Reid of Clyde (22-434) and Larry Huitt of Breckenridge (22-312) finished second and third.
Muleshoe's Jessica Withrow earned the other state berth when the Lady Mules sophomore won the high jump at 5-6, topping Melissa Bartram of Iowa Park (5-4).
Withrow, who is in four individual events, was fifth in the long jump (16-1134).
Two local athletes earned bronze medals. Brett Shepherd of Canyon shaved five seconds off his season-best in the 3200 to finish third in 10:00.95. He was five seconds behind runner-up Casey Sumpter of Lamesa (9:55.05). Tulia's Ryan Maney was fourth in 10:01.16.
Dalhart's Billy Henly was third in the pole vault at 14 feet. Comanche's Dusty Williams won the event at 15-6, while teammate Chayden Feist picked up the other state meet berth at 14-6.
The meet resumes with field events at 9 a.m. today, with running finals to start at 1:15 p.m.

Posted on 09/13/2011 3:01:25 AM PDT by xjcsa
A complicated attack involving multiple gunmen and apparent suicide bombers was underway in the heart of the Afghan capital Tuesday morning, and it appeared to be focused near the U.S. Embassy.
CBS News staff in Kabul reported hearing heavy gunfire and at least seven explosions, some of them large. The situation was described as "chaotic", and it remained unclear how many people were wounded.
A Taliban spokesman claimed there were several militants inside at least one building near the embassy district in Kabul, and that the targets of the attack were Afghan government ministries and the intelligence services.
The Taliban's primary website ran a statement Tuesday morning saying "Operation Martyrdom" was underway in the Afghan capital.

This can't be true! Bambi announced only yesterday that the Taliban were just another Muslim political movement and we were letting them set up permanent "political" headquarters in some Arab country (Qatar, I think).
Could Bambi be wrong???
Obama's new best buddies, they're gonna be allowed an embassy and Obama's going to open relations with them.
What, the smartest being on the planet, wrong!?
U.S. backs move to let Taliban open headquarters in Qatar in the hope of ending war in Afghanistan
Thanks xjcsa. Xuan Loc redux.
Afghanistan's record as an Empire killer is stellar.
I don't think it's possible to turn backwards savages into civilized people with a functioning and healthy country. "Nation building" is a waste.
Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
"I dont think its possible to turn backwards savages into civilized people with a functioning and healthy country. Nation building is a waste."
It is possible but it requires a couple generations to do it. They also have to want to do it.
As long as Islam is around, they'll never do it. We had our big chance in Iraq to prevent them from enshrining Islam in their constitution, and we didn't do it...and now it is rapidly turning back into a nest of squabbling Muslims killing each other and hating the Great Satan, and Mookie is offering to give us safe passage on the way out if we promise to go quietly.
Same in Afghanistan. If we had really enforced a secular government and given those forces a chance to get stronger, things would be different. But we bowed before Islam and let the islamists gain power again and this is the result.
It's sad that they are killing each other. Not so sad that we should continue to sacrifice our young people to save them.
The key question is whether or leaving would make America less safe. I don't see Afghanistan or Iraq having an impact on that anymore.
Considering Egypt and the rest of North Africa is going under the thumb of the radicals.
Tet offensive. Theatre. They lose big, but they make our front pages.
I don't know, the Japanese were pretty savage at one time.
Obama has proved repeatedly that he doesn't know what he's talking about.
The ultimate brain trust comprised of the most intelligent beings on the planet (nobama, lunch bucket joe and hitlery) continue to amaze me with their successful WTF foreign policy. What geniuses!!!! Why...who are we uninformed ingrates to doubt their methods and intentions as they obviously have great success?
Bet Barry is in his "war room" with his Muzzie Brotherhood pals figuring out how the US can hand over Afghanistan to the Taliban. The Taliban is obviously just another revolutionary movement.../sarc (More like a bowel movement!)
Somewhere in the book, "The 5,000 Year Leap," I recall reading how our founders truly debated if the people of the colonies were actually "moral enough," to even have freedom. I found that thought or idea extremely interesting in the context of what we now call Nation Building.
The entire Middle East has been turned upside down by this idea of bringing democracy to them. For all the claimed horrors of all these newly deposed dictators; the people themselves are finding the culture is not yet 'moral enough' to have freedom and democracy.
Which in the scheme of their precious islamic religion they are only finding death, destruction, mass murder and horror. Until they come to terms with the reality that islam as being imposed in the Middle East is immoral, they shall not be able to have democracy nor freedom.
Instead they will have this gross distortion of the progressive left's idea of an Arab Spring. Democracy and freedom is not rising in the Middle East, nor can America with its military might and good intentions create it for a people not moral enough to have it.
"Considering Egypt and the rest of North Africa is going under the thumb of the radicals."
Their radicals and our radicals working together for one cause.
Russia announced yesterday that there will be no sanctions against Syria. Yesterday 4 American troops landed in Libya after we were promised that no American boots will be in Libya. Yesterday, Turkey retrofitted its F16 aircraft to identify Israeli planes as foes. Yesterday, Israeli evacuated it's embassy in Egypt. Yesterday, Russia acknowledged that if the Palis ask for a nation, they will approve. Yesterday, china recognized the Libyan rebels as the legitimate government.
Yesterday, Obama went around the country, telling people that theAmerican taxpayer will be fleeced even more so that the unions can contribute to Obamas 2012 presidential aspirations.
If that all happened yesterday, imagine what can happen today.
Not quite yet. We first need pro-Taliban radicals in the Democratic party to cut off all aid to the current Afghan government.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
Say it ain't so.... /s =.=
Time for some multitasking in what is sure to be a target rich environment.
Well said.
I think it also take a bit of intelligence as well, which these mutts apparently don't seem to have a whole lot of.
Was this the 'moderate Taliban' our president has discussed?
This taking place just two days after Obama announces on 9/11 he's given the Taliban recognized formal seating at his negotion table in Qutar...
Even if we were able to suppress Islam in both Afghanistan and Iraq for a couple of generations, at the end, Islam will become resurgent. Just take a look at once Secular Turkey flexing their military muscle over Israel right now.
...and we had to kill literally millions of them - military and civilian alike, and resort to nuclear weapons to make them understand that they were beaten and had no choice but to change their ways or become extinct.
Islam, radical or otherwise, has no such threat hanging over their heads so they will keep fighting and expanding their influence until we The West re-develop the stomach to truly do what needs to be done. Whether or not we can set aside our bread and circuses long enough to prevent our own extinction as a culture is an open question.
Robert Goldman (Spengler) made a good point about Islam: it will collapse under its own weight as it meets modernity, something that it can no longer avoid doing because of modern communications and technology. Islam is anti-rational (which was the point the Pope tried to make at Regensburg, until the press sallied forth to defend Islam and confuse things). Islam does not believe that the visible world is predictable, since its all-powerful god is irrational, arbitrary and not even bound by his own laws, and could at any time decide to make the rivers run backwards simply because he felt like it.
Obviously, something like this is not going to be able to survive, and something that spawns the irrational, repressive societies that are Muslim countries is also not going to hold up against the demands of modern people, who whether they know it or not have adopted the Judeo-Christian belief in natural law and the dignity of man.
BUT the thing that is keeping it from collapsing on its own is precisely the West, theoretically its enemy. We shored up Islam in Iraq, we're doing the same thing in Afghanistan, and the US has supported every one of these "Arab spring" revolutions which are essentially about the reimposition of sharia and full Islamic society in places which, while they may have been horrid dictatorships, were moving away from it.
Look at Libya, where Bambi has our soldiers "advising" and to which we are channeling money - and the new government's announcement yesterday that the country will be run based on Islam and Islamic law. Same with Egypt and everywhere else in the ME. Islam would have collapsed even there if we had not shored it up.
what the alirufhoiueh723978e6r!!!! are we doing there? After 10 years and WE'RE the ones being attacked! bring the troops home and let afghanistan rot!!
Obama is in the process of totally losing this thing.
Pray for our troops.
Praying for the safety of those at the Embassy.
You cannot just "give" a people freedom and democracy....especially when the one main, uniting tenet of their lives' is islam
I believe you are correct on both counts.
When I was over there back in 2003, I was able to talk to some younger (teenage, early to mid 20s) Afghans. Every one of them that I talked to wanted to rid themselves of the old oppressive culture, and join the rest of the world in the 21st century. The could see, via videos and TV and what not, what was available outside of Afghanistan, and they wanted to participate. The girls were surprisingly vocal: "Burqas bad, Taliban bad, Mullahs bad". That kind of thing.
One of my interpreters once told me that ridding themselves of [the old regime] was their fight, and they knew that in the end it would be up to them to make Afghanistan what it could be, but that [at the time] they were grateful for our help.
I agree that it is going to take a couple of generations for all of this to occur. The old mullahs and tribal leaders and war lords, and everyone else who has a vested interest in maintaining "the old ways" is going to have to die off or be rendered irrelevant, and the younger folks take their turn, before we see significant changes. But if the people I talked to were any indication, I believe there is a chance.
I agree, Roccus. I wouldn't have agreed before the experience of Iraq and Afghanistan, but I agree now.
The truth of it all is that Islam was the enemy, is the enemy, and always will be the enemy. Our liberal, moral relativist and multi culti "leaders" will not accept that, and therefore every one of these nation building exercises is doomed to failure.
Democracy is antithetical to Islam. Islam must be marginalized in a state or that state will become a theocracy.
We don't have the balls to say "our society is superior, and your Islamic society sucks, but that's your gig. Don't mess with us."
A "War on Terror" is asinine in concept, unlimited in scope, and can be directed at anyone the government says is a terrorist.
And at ISAF HQ. My hubby is there.
My thought too.
Yes, though "in process" is probably inaccurate by now. Praying for our troops as always.
Only in the same way. Neutralize each and every ISI allied with AlQ...
"When I was over there back in 2003, I was able to talk to some younger (teenage, early to mid 20s) Afghans. Every one of them that I talked to wanted to rid themselves of the old oppressive culture, and join the rest of the world in the 21st century"
This is why I believe the best thing we could have done was to send thousands of Afghans to study abroad (Europe) where they could learn to use computers and drive cars. (Girls educated in this way would never want to go back to wearing beekeeper outfits).
That was where our "allies" could have helped out—rather than by sending token troop forces.
It's ten years too late to start that now; but you can imagine the results of educating ten years' worth of
Afghan youth in the West.
We have a WINNER!!!! Only no one trusts the MSM so there will be no "If I've lost Cronkite..." moment.
9/11 anniversary: The end of Islamic extremism is far from nigh
It is often described as the day that changed the world but, in fact, 9/11 only brought home to the West what had been simmering, and sometimes breaking out violently, in different parts of the world for nearly half a century.
At the heart of extremism is an ideology, a world-view and not just concerning the perceived wrong done to the Muslim Umma (or people). Such an ideology expects Islam to dominate rather than to accept a subservient place in world affairs. It promotes pan-Islam and the ultimate rejection of nation-states, even Muslim ones. It may be that some extremists chatter about an Islamic state, in this part of the world or that; however, its ultimate aim is a single Islamic political, social, economic and spiritual entity.
For many, the restoration of the Caliphate is integral to this project and, given past history, we should not be sanguine that Western powers will not collude with it if they believe it promotes a temporary self-interest. Such a vision of pan-Islam is not restricted to the Muslim world as it is now but also includes lands lost to Islam whether that be India, Palestine, East Timor, South Sudan or the Iberian countries.
Islam is not going to "collapse under its own weight". They won't change and they won't give up. I doubt we can kill all muslims and I doubt we can change all their minds. I would settle for keeping them out of America and letting them kill each other in other countries.
God Bless him, and the rest of them as well.
I cannot for the life of me understand why we are still in Afghanistan.
Not feeling too comfortable about that right now.....

Stephanie Blythe has always been an enterprising recitalist, and her ascendance into Wagneriana at the Metropolitan Opera hasn't changed that a bit.
Hearing her huge voice in the Kimmel Center's smallish Perelman Theater on Tuesday was a unique thrill. In earlier recitals presented by the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, she had brought Eileen Farrell's seamlessness and Marilyn Horne's depth of tone; now her own voice is one future singers will be measured against, in part because she does such unexpected things with it.
Like talking. There were no song texts in the printed program, so she and pianist Warren Jones recited the words to James Legg's Twelve Poems of Emily Dickinson and Samuel Barber's Three Songs Op. 10 before she sang them. Thus the audience was better able to parse the word/music relationship, particularly in the Legg cycle, written shortly before his death in 2000 at 38. His voice hadn't fully emerged, but masterstrokes are there: "I'm Nobody! Who are you?" was not mousy but ironically aggressive.
