Obama and His Nutroots Gangs — Traitors in Our Midst

September 17th, 2008 | Matthew J. Weaver

On Monday the New York Post published a shocking report accusing Barack Obama of interfering in U.S. foreign policy and ongoing military operations in Iraq by directly calling upon the Iraqs to delay any agreement with the United States to aid his political campaign. In public Obama has campaigned under the banner of opposing the war in Iraq while in private he has actively sought to undermine the United States and extend it. Americans are being unnecessarily killed and wounded by his actions.

The media has ignored this — the American blood on Obama’s hands, his sabotage of United States foreign policy and military operations, his duplicity and lies, and the likely criminal violation of the Logan Act. Senators Jack Reed and Chuck Hegel, who accompanied Obama to Iraq and likely participated in his dicussions with Iraq’s leaders, have also been silent.

Senator John McCain has rightly called for an explanation:

At this point, it is not yet clear what official American negotiations Senator Obama tried to undermine with Iraqi leaders, but the possibility of such actions is unprecedented. It should be concerning to all that he reportedly urged that the democratically-elected Iraqi government listen to him rather than the US administration in power. If news reports are accurate, this is an egregious act of political interference by a presidential candidate seeking political advantage overseas. Senator Obama needs to reveal what he said to Iraq’s Foreign Minister during their closed door meeting. The charge that he sought to delay the withdrawal of Americans from Iraq raises serious questions about Senator Obama’s judgment and it demands an explanation.

Obama has been virtually silent — likely hoping his traitorous and deadly actions would pass unnoticed. Read the rest of this entry »

The Climate Science Isn't Settled, Confident predictions of catastrophe are unwarranted (Wall Street Journal)

Leaked emails won't harm UN climate body, says chairman (Guardian)
Chairman of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says global warming is not debunk because of a few scientists. For Rajendra Pachauri--check out the picture accompanying the article as this guy is a definite look-alike of the Unibomber and his the religion of Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) is just as dangerous to civilization. Anyway, he claims that despite everything, AGW is alive and well. He even defended Phil Jones and said he should not resign.
Diplomacy 101 (New York Times)
New York Times editorial the president an F for diplomacy in the Middle East. Obama "demanded that Israel freeze settlements, Palestinians crack down on anti-Israel violence and Arab leaders demonstrate their readiness to reach out to Israel."

We threw away the data...
Climate change data dumped (Times)
The Climate Research Unit says, according to the Telegraph, that they will release the raw data that global warming is based upon. At the same time the Times reports that the same folks now admit that the raw data was thrown away. All they kept was the manipulated data they created to support global warming. As Roger Pielke, professor of environmental studies at Colorado University, is quoted in the Times, “The CRU is basically saying, ‘Trust us’."
Afghans Detail a Secret Prison Still Operating on a U.S. Base (New York Times)
According to this article, Obama continues to run at least two secret prisons--one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan--with reports of abuse and prisoners held without rights normally afforded prisons of war. Surprising to hear that this continued after Bush left office. This is a terrible stain on America's reputation and puts Americans at risk of similar mistreatment if captured.
