Top U.S.
military officer
assails Iran's role in Iraq
|
|
WASHINGTON:
The government of Iran continues to supply weapons and other
support to extremists in Iraq, despite repeated promises to the
contrary, and is increasingly complicit in the death of U.S.
soldiers, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Friday
in a stark new assessment of Iranian influence.
|
|
...Pentagon
concerns about Iranian influence in neighboring Iraq is
nothing new, but the content and tone of Mullen's remarks left
the impression that far from abating, the worries about Iran
have intensified in recent months.

With prices for
rice, wheat, and corn soaring, food-related unrest has broken
out in places such as Haiti,
Indonesia,
and Afghanistan.
Several countries have blocked the export of grain. There is
even talk that governments could fall if they cannot bring
food costs down.
|
|
One factor being
blamed for the price hikes is the use of government subsidies
to promote the use of corn for ethanol production. An
estimated 30% of America’s corn crop now goes to fuel, not
food.
|
|

|
|
|
“It takes
around 400 pounds of corn to make 25 gallons of ethanol. It’s not going to be a very good diet but that’s
roughly enough to keep an adult person alive for a year.”

Obama’s Real Bill Ayers Problem
|
|
The ex-Weatherman is now a radical
educator with influence.
|
|
Barack Obama
complains that he’s been unfairly attacked for a casual
political and social relationship with his neighbor, former
Weatherman Bill Ayers. Obama has a point. In the ultraliberal
Hyde Park community where the presidential candidate first
earned his political spurs, Ayers is widely regarded as a
member in good standing of the city’s civic establishment,
not an unrepentant domestic terrorist. But Obama and his
critics are arguing about the wrong moral question. The more
pressing issue is not the damage done by the Weather
Underground 40 years ago, but the far greater harm inflicted
on the nation’s schoolchildren by the political and
educational movement in which Ayers plays a leading role
today.

In an interview yesterday,
Hillary -- whose connection to President Clinton's 2001 sentence
commutations for two members of the Weather Underground has become an issue
since she tried to raise questions about Obama's acquaintance with another
ex-Weatherman -- told "Inside Edition" that she "didn't know
anything about" the 2001 clemency case.
|
|
You can watch the video
below. If it's true, it means that she got the worst briefings in the
world when she was running for Senate in 2000 and the clemency issue was
hot in Rockland County, and it means that Chuck Schumer didn't even
bother to mention the issue to his fellow NY senator-elect/ First Lady
after promising the widows of two dead cops to fight against one of the
clemencies.

Rice says
Carter was warned against meeting with Hamas
|
|
KUWAIT
CITY (AP) - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Tuesday the
Bush administration explicitly warned former President Jimmy
Carter against meeting with members of Hamas, the Palestinian
faction that controls the Gaza Strip and which is regarded by
the U.S. as a terror group.
|
|
..."I just don't want
there to be any confusion," Rice said. "The United
States is not going to deal with Hamas and we had certainly
told President Carter that we did not think meeting with Hamas
was going to help" further a political settlement between
Israel and the Palestinians.

Bill
Clinton Uses Expletive
in Interview

Former President
Bill Clinton used an expletive in the course of defending
disparaging comments Clinton had made about Barack Obama and
Jesse Jackson in a radio interview Tuesday.

“I don’t think I can take any
s*** from anybody on that, do you?” Clinton said at the end
of an interview on Philadelphia’s WHYY radio, the city’s

Hillary's
Terrorist Ties
|
|
...Her
relationship with terrorists began in the mid-1980s when she
served on the Board of the New World Foundation, which gave
funds to the Palestine Liberation Organization, at a time when
the PLO was officially recognized by the US government as a
terrorist organization.
|
|
...But, as
terrorism expert Steve Emerson noted in the Wall Street
Journal “Curiously, nearly all of the leaders with whom Mrs.
Clinton elected to meet came from Islamic fundamentalist
organizations.

The Purpose of Operation Chaos
|
|
 "...These
two look like they're incompetent, inconsequential, incapable,
inexperienced. The only difference -- she lies.
Let's just put it that way. McCain does benefit from an
image and great character, image of honor and duty and
service. But see, as we get closer the Drive-Bys are
going to start their all-out assault on McCain, too. So
at this point, the purpose of Operation Chaos is not to choose
a specific nominee, and it wasn't from the get-go to pick a
specific nominee. The purpose of Operation Chaos is what
you see. It was to keep the race going so that there
would be hatred, animosity, and political bloodletting between
Hillary and Barack Obama and their forces."

Dems Fight On; Clinton

Despite
Delegate Lead, Obama Can't Seem To Lock Up Democratic
Nomination
|
|
 Clinton has
led polls in the state, and her win now fuels questions
about why Obama hasn't been able to sew up the
nomination, despite having more money, having won more
states and having a lead in the popular vote and pledged
delegates, according to ABC
News' delegate scorecard.
|
|
..."I
have come to the conclusion that this race will continue
until the last primary or caucus vote is cast,"
Obama said. "And that's not far away."
