OK, I admit it. I'm not a US citizen. I'll never be President. Jan Brewer will kick me out of the country. I'm disappointed that I'm an exotic, white "anchor baby". But then, I met The Donald™ and he said,"I have a fabulous opportunity for you." And the rest is fabulous history.OK, I admit it. I'm not a US citizen. I'll never be President. Jan Brewer... more

Bin laden never mentioned in McChrystal report or Obama speech
“Hunt for bin laden” a national shame
Conservative commentator, former Marine Colonel Bob Pappas has been saying for years that bin Laden died at Tora Bora and that Senator Kerry’s claim that bin Laden escaped with Bush help was a lie. Now we know that Pappas was correct. The embarrassment of having Secretary of State Clinton talk about bin Laden in Pakistan was horrific. He has been dead since December 13, 2001 and now, finally, everyone, Obama, McChrystal, Cheney, everyone who isn’t nuts is finally saying what they have known for years.
However, since we lost a couple of hundred of our top special operations forces hunting for bin Laden after we knew he was dead, is someone going to answer for this with some jail time? Since we spent 200 million dollars on “special ops” looking for someone we knew was dead, who is going to jail for that? Since Bush, Rumsfeld and Cheney continually talked about a man they knew was dead, now known to be for reasons of POLITICAL nature, who is going to jail for that? Why were tapes brought out, now known to be forged, as legitimate intelligence to sway the disputed 2004 election in the US? This is a criminal act if there ever was one.

Like most good Americans, I spent the last four days stuffing myself to the brim with foodstuffs and then laying about sofas in front of dimly-pulsing televisions making lazy, slow-tempo jokes. And if you did the same then you might not have had time to keep up on your news, so here's three stories from around the world you might not have caught.
It wasn't Thanksgiving in Europe and the Swiss went ahead and held elections on Sunday. In what's being interpreted as a symbol of anti-Muslim backlash, over 57% of the voters said yes to a constitutional ban on minarets atop mosques.

A Senate Report released over the weekend claimed that Osama bin Laden was "within reach" of American troops in Tora Bora in 2001. Unfortunately, then Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld ignored calls for reinforcements and bin Laden slipped away into Pakistan, where he's believed to still be today. The report comes as President Obama is preparing to give a speech (Tuesday) outlining his plans for Afghanistan. Senate report: Rumsfeld decision let Bin Laden escape posted by: bansheewail.
Iran, in defiance of censure by the UN, announced that its cabinet had approved the construction of 10 new nuclear enrichment facilities. Yeah, 10. Why build a couple more when you can go for double digits? Iran approves plans for 10 new uranium enrichment plants in defiance of UN censure - posted by: ras_menelik.
