Muslim Fired Rocket at School Bus, One Child Critically Injuried

It seems no care if a Jew suffers, but when someone burns a Koran, it remains as headline news for days. Everybody seems to be a bunch of pansies when Islam gets mentioned. Why? Are up afraid of getting beheaded?

Jerusalem (AP) — An anti-tank missile fired from the Gaza Strip struck a school bus in southern Israel Thursday, wounding two people, including one child critically, Israeli officials said.

Israel’s defense minister, Ehud Barak, ordered the army to respond quickly and said he held the Hamas militant group, which rules Gaza, responsible for the violence. There was no claim of responsibility for the attack.

Israeli medical services said the bus was nearly empty after dropping off school children and was carrying only the driver and a lone passenger at the time of the attack. Paramedics were trying to resuscitate a 16-year-old boy with a serious head wound at the scene. The driver was moderately wounded.

TV footage showed a yellow bus with its windows blown out and its rear charred. Police said it was struck by an anti-tank missile.

First Cracks Emerge in Military Coalition on Libya

The problem with the coalition is nations want to put in their two-cents, but refuse to take the responsibility to lead. The coalition can not define and implement a no-fly zone in Libya. This coalition will dissolve into two main leaders of the war; USA and UK. When this occurs, the other nations can wash their hands and ignore the problem entirely. If the coalition are unable to unseat Gaddafi, it is expected a severe vengeful backlash from him.

(Age.com.au) While the US-French-British core stayed solid, cracks started to show Monday in the military coalition hastily assembled to take action on Libya as the Arab League and some EU countries wavered.

Criticism of the operation came swiftly after French jets took to the skies on Saturday to launch the first air strikes on Libyan targets in support of UN Security Council Resolution 1973.

Arab League Secretary General Amr Mussa caused concerns on Sunday when he said the air strikes went beyond the scope of the resolution to implement a no-fly zone and said he was concerned about civilians being hurt in bombing.

Germany, which abstained in the Security Council vote when the resolution was passed on Thursday, said Mussa's criticism showed that Berlin had been right to fear military intervention.

Italy said its offer to contribute eight Tornado jets to the military operation was accompanied by concerns that the allied campaign "shouldn't be a war" on Libya.

Besides a bump in approval numbers Obama still has 10 things to worry about

In a recent poll, Obama's approval numbers have improved, but it is uncertain why people felt he is doing a good job. In fact, some polls suggest that the president's handling of the Texas shooting or the lack there of contributed to the bump in the poll numbers. This should not illustrate a comparison with Bill Clinton that Obama is running to the center. It should illustrate that this country is in trouble with someone inexperience pretending to be president.

(Human Events) These are unsettling times that we live in. Not to be a downer, but here are the Top 10 Things to Worry About:

1. Out-of-control deficits: With trillion-dollar budget deficits projected for years and the national debt hitting $14 trillion, this mountain of red ink will come crashing down at some point. Add ballooning entitlements to the mix and the country’s financial status is a recipe for disaster. Watch the wreckage as cash-strapped state governments start going bankrupt and project the resulting chaos to the national level.

2. Terrorism: Whether it is homegrown terrorists or al Qaeda plotting overseas, the threat of jihadist attacks against America remains high. The fact that we haven’t had a major terror attack since 9/11—thanks in large part to alert citizens and inept bombers—should not lull us into complacency. The Obama Administration’s refusal to acknowledge that radical Islam is the enemy puts the nation at risk.

3. Healthcare system at risk: Healthcare costs are rising, doctors are fleeing and Obamacare is certain to make matters worse. And if you think things are bad now, Medicare will soon be under severe strains as Baby Boomers are just starting to become eligible for benefits. With 30 million people being added to the existing healthcare system under Obamacare, good luck getting an appointment with a doctor.

4. Stubborn unemployment: Where are the jobs? The unemployment rate has been above 9% since April 2009 and it is likely to remain high for years. And the rate is closer to 17% when taking into account those who have stopped looking for work or are forced to work only part-time. Matters likely could get worse as state and local governments are starting to shed jobs that were sheltered by federal stimulus money and businesses show no sign of adding to their payrolls with so much economic uncertainty.

5. Inflation: The Fed can’t keep printing money without eventually eroding the value of the dollar. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke’s quantitative easing will only add to the inflationary pressure. To those who say inflation is not a worry, have you been to the grocery store or gas pump lately?

6. Rogue nations: The madmen in charge in North Korea and Iran are intent on flexing their nuclear muscles and America remains their enemy. Obama’s campaign pledge to talk to the ruling despots hasn’t panned out and it seems to only be a matter of time before one of these powder kegs erupts.

7. China: China owns our debt and is pouring money into its military. China’s President Hu says the dollar-dominated currency system is a “product of the past.” America was the world’s sole superpower for some 20 years, but will be tested by China’s economic and military might.

8. Crime: Crime is a persistent problem in America with high rates of violence in many of the nation’s cities. With murder and mayhem increasing to epidemic levels just across the border in Mexico, is it only a matter of time before the cartel’s drug wars spill over to the U.S.?

9. Housing market: Is your house underwater? A good many Americans are in that situation and are unlikely to see it get better any time soon. The housing market was so high when it crashed that prices are unlikely to ever recover.

10. Obama Administration: With the Democrats losing the House, liberals will not be able to push their agenda through Congress. But the Obama Administration can enact measures via administrative fiat. Just look at how the Environmental Protection Agency is starting to regulate greenhouse gases after cap-and-trade failed legislatively as an example of the administration circumventing the will of the people.

Exploding Bullets Not Hairspray Caused Bomb Scare at Miami Airport

The bag didn't have a gun. It only had bullet primers. Why would anyone pack a bagful of primers? It is possible that the unstable primers would activate and cause a fire in the hull of the plane. This is a terrorist act and the police won't admitt to it. We shall see what the investigation reveals.

(NBC Miami) A man has been arrested after FBI and TSA officials said his luggage contained volatile gun parts, which caused his bag to explode Tuesday just before it was about to be loaded on a plane.

The unidentified 37-year-old man had 500 to 700 bullet primers in his luggage. Primers are considered the "spark plugs" of a bullet and ignites the gun powder, projecting it toward the intended target.

Officials originally said the exploding bag was caused by a hairspray aerosol can.

The situation turned out to be much more serious and could have been even more dangerous if the bag containing the combustible elements would have exploded while the plane was in the air.

The Miami-Dade bomb squad was called to the airport around 11:30 a.m. after a baggage handler said he was taking luggage to an American Airlines plane that had just arrived from Boston and a bag exploded, sending pieces of metal flying.

The FBI confirmed the passenger and the exploding checked bag got on the flight in Boston and the luggage was being transferred to another flight headed for Jamaica.

The 148 original passengers from Flight 2585 had already departed the plane before the incident.

While it is legal to have a gun and ammunition in your checked bags, it is illegal to pack primers or percussion caps.

TSA Warning Terrorist Using Explosive Thermoses

TSA must have a lot of time on their hands to figure this one out. Explosive thermoses is the decision imposed by the TSA as a viable form of terrorism. Even though we can't carry liquids on the plane, why would anyone bring a thermoses? In fact, I fly routinely and never saw anyone carry one, unless they work at the airport or doing construction work at the airport. I wonder what will be next. Perhaps, explosive pens.

(The Hill) Holiday travelers went into Christmas weekend with a new warning by the Transportation Security Administration about the potential for explosives packed in Thermoses.

"The possible tactics terrorists might use include the concealment of explosives inside insulated beverage containers, so in the coming days, passengers flying within and to the U.S. may notice additional security measures related to insulated beverage containers," the TSA cautioned in a public notice.

Even though the beverages contained within are already prohibited, the TSA said that "additional security measures related to insulated beverage containers" would be in place at screening checkpoints, including X-ray, inspections and technology to detect explosive traces.

Another Terrorist Attempt on a DC Metro System Conducted by a Muslim

Again, another radical Muslim performing a terrorist act. This time it is on a D.C. Metro train system. Let's stop this political correctness. It wasn't a Catholic, Christian, Buddhist, Maoist, or Atheist. It was a Muslim. Can we start profiling, now?

(TPM)- A 26-year-old Virginia man is being held in federal custody after he allegedly threatened to set off bombs on the D.C. Metro system. The FBI was alerted to the threats, allegedly sent on Facebook’s instant messaging system, by an informant before any plot was developed.

Awais Younis, who also goes by the names Sundullah “Sunny” Ghilzai and Mohhanme Khan, was arrested on Dec. 7. According to federal authorities, he described how to build a pipe bomb and said he’d place bombs on the third and fifth cars of Metro trains since those trains had the highest number of commuters on them.

The nature of the messages Younis allegedly sent to the FBI’s complainant indicates they had a close relationship. The complainant, who is a woman according to Younis’ Facebook messages, contacted the FBI’s New Orleans Office in late November.

According an an affidavit, Younis wrote to the woman on Dec. 5:
“you are sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong into something bigger then you and I. that is the problem with Americans they cant leave well enough alone until something happends then they sit there wondering why we dropped the twin towers like a bad habit hahaha. im telling you right now you are going to regret doing what you did. for your peace i hope what i am hearing is all lies.”

The affidavit states that a photograph on Facebook shows Younis “in Afghanistan holding an AK-47 rifle with his uncle standing in front of a tent with explosives in the tent. The caption for the photograph read, ‘My family business’.”

Another photo posted on Dec. 1 shows a hand holding rifle rounds for a machine gun with the caption reading “bullet behind every rock.” The complainant to the FBI that Younis recently stated on Facebook that “Christmas trees were going to go boom,” a possible reference to the plot against a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Oregon.

Muslim Community Outrage Because Government is enticing Them to do Terrorist Act

Muslims in California are upset they are targeted for hate crime and racial profiling. Even though they stand as the minority group, it is the Hispanics are being targeted and profiled in California. The audacity of stupidity among the Muslim community to think police are entrapping them to do terrorist acts is purely ludicrous. It is not like the police left the airplane door ajar with the keys in the ignition. If the Muslim community wants to alleviate being targets of hate crimes and racial profiling, it would be helpful to assist local authorities to stop radical Islamist.

(My Way) Speaking to Muslim Advocates, a San Francisco-based group, Eric Holder told the group that he's heard from many Muslim and Arab Americans who feel uneasy and singled out by law enforcement.

The organization is one of several groups voicing concerns over hate crimes, alleged rights violations at the hands of law enforcement and the tactics used in anti-terrorism cases.

Carefully-crafted sting operations by FBI and Justice Department officials have included plots against a Portland, Ore., Christmas celebration, Dallas skyscrapers, Washington subways, a Chicago nightclub and New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.

Undercover operatives in these cases have let suspects make clear they wanted to carry out an attack and gave them a chance to change their mind, according to authorities.

Critics have called the stings entrapment of people who otherwise couldn't have carried out an attack and said the government has been enticing Muslims into terrorism.

Obamas War in Afghanistan is a Game of Catch and Release of Taliban fighters

The incompetence of the Obama Administration handling "the good war" in Afghanistan is pathetic. We are conducting a war as a game by playing catch and release the Taliban fighters. Afghanistan President Karzai is playing both sides of the fence. He is intentionally keeping the war ongoing because he enjoys the financial support from the United States. However, Karzai does not want to offend or irritate the Taliban any further. The release of a Taliban prisoner is a nice carrot to appease them. It is time to stop this stupidity by removing Karzai from office and bomb the enemy without reservation. Currently, one in four release prisoners went back into action as enemy combatants. I wonder if Obama is irritated that 75% of the Taliban fighters are still unemployed.

(Washington Examiner) More than 500 suspected Taliban fighters detained by U.S. forces have been released from custody at the urging of Afghan government officials, angering both American troops and some Afghans who oppose the policy on the grounds that many of those released return to the battlefield to kill NATO soldiers and Afghan civilians.

U.S. Air Force Maj. Karen Davis, a spokeswoman in Kabul, told The Washington Examiner "nearly 500 detainees held in the [detention facility in Parwan] have been released outright or transferred to the [Afghan government] for disposition under Afghan law" so far this year.

Earlier this year, The Examiner reported that numerous insurgents captured in Pakistan, including some members of al Qaeda, were returned to Afghanistan upon the request of the Karzai government, and then, according to a senior Pakistani official, "released back to the Taliban as bargaining chips in negotiations."

For American combat troops in Afghanistan, the release of suspect Taliban is seen as a symptom of the corruption of the Karzai government.

Sorry Mr President, No Bombs on US Planes

Historically, there is usually an event that "makes" or "breaks" an upcoming election. It puts any incumbent in office to appear as a "hero" or "loser". In the latest news, authorities abroad thwarted several terrorist attacks aimed at the USA from Yemen. Terrorist were plotting to mail packages with explosive devices to a Chicago synagogue. One of the package from Dubai was the same chemical used during the "underwear-bomber" plot during Christmas of last year. The other package discovered in England was an ink-jet printer cartridge with wires and white powder.

Since Obama believes never allow a crisis to go to waste, the president alerted federal authorities to inspect all U.S. cargo planes up and down the Eastern Seaboard. In fact, the government forced an Emirates Airlines passenger jet to be escorted down the coast to New York by American fighter jets. This desperate act is almost like racial profiling.

But alas, no explosives were found aboard any of those planes.

In a last ditch effort to make Democrats look good four days before the mid-term election, Obama's sobering assessment, delivered from the White House podium, which discussion of terrorism has played no role. Because Obama couldn't find any bombs, all efforts turned out to be a dud.
