Saudis flout vow to US to end Israel boycott

I repeat: in what way is Saudi Arabia actually an ally of the United States? "Saudis flout vow to end Israel boycott," from the Jerusalem Post, with thanks to Michael:

Despite renewed assurances given to Washington that it is no longer enforcing a trade boycott against the Jewish state, Saudi Arabia continues to prohibit Israeli-made goods from entering its territory, The Jerusalem Post has learned.

And while a senior US trade official sought to assure Congress last week that the embargo had in fact been removed, the Post found ample evidence to indicate that it remains in place.

"If a product is made in Israel, then it is a problem. It is not allowed here," Muhammad al-Matrafi, a spokesman for the Director's Office of the King Khalid Airport in the Saudi capital of Riyadh, said by phone on Monday.

"That is the law here in Saudi Arabia, and we do not allow those kinds of things into the kingdom," he said, adding, "If there is any mention of Israel on the container or on the product, then it can not enter Saudi Arabia."

WELL WELL
What does this mean for the Saduis when the bird flu hits them and it is Israel who comes up with the cure?? Will they ten say sorry but we can't trade with Israel that will be something to see.

Will Israel forgive?

Looks like things are moving forward and those who align themselves with the monster from Iran will pay. Just remember that the day before Iran’s president went to Indonesia the volcano started spewing? After the president of Indonesia made a deal with Iran what has happened? Well the bird flue has killed a family that means human to human, and the volcano spews, and then an Earthquake that flattens how many towns?, and then we can just think about all those people who are now with out homes and the flue human to human OH MY??

But we must remember?
Ezekiel
38:17 Thus saith the Lord God; art thou he whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Is’ra-el, which Prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?
38:18 and it shall come to pass at the same time Gog shall come against the land of Is’ra-el, saith the Lord God, that my fury shall come up in my face.
38:19 For in my jealousy and in, the fire of my wrath have I spoken, surely in that day there shall be great shaking in the land of Is’ra-el;
38:20 so the fishes of the see, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field and all the creeping things upon the Earth and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the grown.
38:21 and I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains saith the Lord God: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
38:22 and I will plead against him with Pestilence and with blood and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, and overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstones

38:23 Thus will I magnify Myself and sanctify Myself; and I will be know in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord,
39:1 Therefore, thou son of man, Prophesy against Gog and say, thus saith the Lord God; behold I am against thee O Gog, the chief prince of Me’shech and Tu’bal:

39:3 and I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
39:4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Is’ra-el, thou and all bands, and thy people that is with thee; I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beast of the field to be devoured.
39:5 Thou shalt fall upon the open fields: for I have spoken it; Saith the Lord God.

NOW THATS HEAVY

Zechariah
14:12 and this shall be the plague where with the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Je-ru-sa-lem; their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their mouth.
14:14 and Ju’dah also shall fight at Je-ru-sa-lem; and the wealth of all the heathen around shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel in great abundance.
14:15 and so shall be the plague of the horse of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and all the beast that shall be in the tents.
14:16 and it shall come to pass that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Je-ru-sa-lem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of Hosts, and to keep the fest of tabernacles.
14:18 and if the family of Egypt go not up and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, where with the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the fest of tabernacles.
14:19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all nation that come not up to keep the fest of tabernacles.
14:21 Yea every pot in Je-ru-sa-lem and in Ju’dah shall be holiness into the Lord of Host:and all they that sacrificed shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Ca’naan-ite in the house of the Lord of hosts.


YEP BIRD FLU ONCE AGAIN

What will the saudis do when the only cure comes from Israel and what will Israel do?

will they follow the word of God and let their enemies die as was written after all who were the ca'naan-ite OH but the answer is in the book

Islamisbad;


"We the People" understand the nature of the Fraudi Arabians. It's our so called representatives that don't get it. "We the People" need to seriously change that this year in November. "We thePeople" need to elect representatives that truely reflect the will of the "People" and not follow some personal political agenda. Or a push for more political power. If not, Washington may soon become Washingstan.

Do mean to suggest that we should require our good allies, the Saudi's, to violate their own laws?

Of all things!

Look, just because the people running our American government have no respect for their vows to uphold the Constitution, and violate all kinds of American laws because they differ from various "enlightened views" of EU courts; doesn't mean that we can demand the Saudi's violate their laws.

Besides, you're not seeing the bigger picture!

The Saudi's have more cash than Isreal and can purchase more influence in Washington; and in Washington -- CA$H is king no matter which party controls the White House or the Congress!

"We thePeople" need to elect representatives that truely reflect the will of the "People"

The question becomes which "People" ultimately have their will reflected by the representatives?

Listening to the same old recycled patriotic bluster that always comes out around the elections tell one story; the real story, the "truth" (as close as one can get to it in Washington anyway), is ultimately disclosed by the kind of legislation that is passed and who benefits the most from it.

Multinational Corporations and their top executives wearing smart looking suits usually win; the widow with the kids living in the trailer (with the "war-sure" on the front lawn and the tires on the roof) usually lose.

Re:Saudis flout vow to US to end Israel boycott

A sad conclusion-

Israel is the anti-Dhimmi state and an insult to Islamic supremacism. Israel's existance insults Dar-Al-Islam (the Lands of Islam) where Jews are "to feel themselves subdued." But Jews do not feel themselves subdued in the Jewish State.

For a Muslim, it is an outrage to see proud-self-respecting-Jews walking freely in lands once conquered by Islam. For this reason there can be no political solution to the "Arab-Israel Conflict" other than the annihilation of the Jewish State (or the annihilation of Islam in the Mid East). Islam dictates that.

All other Arab-Israeli political issues are really distractions from this truth (to fool the naive). Even if Israel were to prove to be the greatest material blessing to the Arab Mid East(maybe the Almighty is making this offer?), Israel's great bounty must be rejected by Muslims because the existance of the Jewish State is an insult to the Koran.

Witness;


I've read all of your posts above and I must agree that it looks hopeless for Barney Bungalow and Joe Six-pack, but we can not give in to despare and apathy. We have the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. "We the People" are the true backbone of America. Not the Corporations or the politicians that cater to them. It's our young men and women that defend our country's honor and her ramparts.
But it is up to "We the People" to educate ourselves and our children on the Constitution of the United Staes of America, the Bill of Rights, the Preamble, and the Declaration of Indenpendence. "We the People" can not count on the government schools to do this any longer. The dumbing down of our children is a constant, on going problem in the government schools. The Bible, that was banned by the Supreme Courts in 1960 from all government school lockers have been replaced by illegal guns. "Heather has two Mommies" has replaced "Goldilocks and the Three Bears." "Daddy's New Roommate" has replaced Shakespear's "Hamlet." And the thing about it is that the ones that are effecting these sweeping changes are in the minority. Not the majority. But because true Americans keep quiet, the liberals are allowed to enact their socialist/communist agenda by electing politicans that follow their every whim.
It's time for the American male to MAN UP!!! and take charge of this country from the lingunine spined, liberal girlie men and their Amazonian counterparts. All true Americans, "We the People" need to take back our country and our land by electing "REAL" Americans to Congress, our state legislatures, and city halls. Men and women who will uphold the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the rule of law in this great land of ours. "We the People" don't have to be rich to vote, just knowledgeble about whom it is that we're voting for. Not depending on the mainstream media to give "We the People" information about a canidate. "We the People" can take back our country in one of two ways, By ballot or by bullet. It's how our Founding Fathers won their independence from the King of England, and it's also how the true American will take back this country in the name of the United States Constitution. On that day Fraudi Arabia and all other nations and politicans that fake friendship with "We the People" will learn, Don't tread on Me!!! Be afraid Islamofecesland, be very afraid!

Yesterday's WSJ had a great article on the editorial page by a guy who wrote a book "What would America's founders do?" It recalled the dealings with the ever-treacherous muslims of barbary in the early days of the U.S. Our founding fathers first tried the appeasement route, even paying the jizya and what we got in return were more demands and more treachery. Finally, we tried the Stephen Decatur method and found that it worked, and worked very well. Of course, America hasn't had very many true leaders since the days of Jefferson and Adams. Even Reagan had a blind spot when it came to dealing with the likes of the iranian mullacracy, but our recent batch that includes Carter, Bush Sr and Jr, and Clinton is laughable, a true embarassment.

I wish more people like you were actually running the country! While I have not given in to dispair entirely, I am keenly aware of certain realities that I have come to loath.

In order to reclaim our country we need to take back our local police forces, our military, or universites, our court system and finally our government.

It is an overwhelming task that I do not believe most Americans understand or have the inclination to undertake.

I'm with you -- but most politicians will say the same thing; they'll buy you a drink; play a couple rounds of golf with you; promise to do the right thing for the country and AMERICAN CITIZENS IN GENERAL; then pander to the bigger money interests the first chance they get.


"Winning the war" begins at home. So far, we're not winning, we have lost our government to foreign interests especially of the money kind i.e. the Saudi's.

(BTW -- I am fed up with the mosques springing up like mushrooms all over the country! How did they get here? Why are people in the government allowing this to happen? What do the politicians think is going on in those places anyway??? Our friends, the Saudis are financing them -- how did they get the building permits and the rezoning!?)

Robert.............Two recent events regarding Iran show the strange situation we are witnessing. The first has to do with Ahmadinejad's letter to President Bush, the second with the Iranian dress code.

Apart from Robert Spencer in jihadwatch.com, Amil Imani in faithfreedom.org, Amir Taheri in the New York Post, Caroline Glick in the Jerusalem Post and Hillel Fradkin in the Weekly Standard, the rest of the world media totally misunderstood what Ahmadinejad meant. The letter was, according to Robert Spencer, an invitation to convert to Islam, a da'wa, an Islamic requirement before waging war against the unbelievers.

What is more, Ahmadinejad himself confirmed this interpretation in Indonesia: "The letter was an invitation to monotheism and justice, which are common to all divine prophets. If the call is responded positively, there will be no more problems to be solved." In traditional Muslim belief, it is only Islam that guarantees "monotheism, worship of God, justice, respect for the dignity of man, belief in the Last Day."

Islam is a religion not a race.

Overwhelmingly, Arabs and Turks and Persians (Iran-Aryans) are members of the Caucasian race. "Racism" has become a meaningless term of abuse used to intimidate anyone who dares criticize jihad or dhimmi injustice, or simply criticize Islam.

Thus Israelis (overwhelmingly Caucasian)are accused of racism against "Palestinians"(overwhelmingly Caucasian)for propaganda purposes. However, the same folks who call Israel "racist" will ignore Arab genocide of millions of Negro Africans in Darfur.

It's Orwellian.

Here's what our proud Congress does in spare time...

WASHINGTON, DC -- A new investigation reveals an astonishingly large number of wife-beaters, drunks, shoplifters, check-bouncers, business failures, and drug abusers in the U.S. House and Senate -- which ought to make Americans think carefully before turning to Washington, DC for moral leadership, the Libertarian Party
said today.


"Mark Twain once said Congress may be America's only 'distinct criminal class' -- and this new study suggests he was correct," said Steve Dasbach, the party's national director. "If even half these charges are true, expecting Congress to serve as a moral
role model is like asking Bill Clinton to serve as a poster boy for monogamy."


According to an investigation by Capitol Hill Blue, an online publication that covers federal politics, a remarkable number of U.S.
Representatives and U.S. Senators may have spent as much time in a jail cell as on Capitol Hill.


After researching public records, newspaper articles, civil court transcripts, and criminal records, Capitol Hill Blue discovered that:

* 29 members of Congress have been accused of spousal abuse.

* 7 have been arrested for fraud.

* 19 have been accused of writing bad checks.

* 117 have bankrupted at least two businesses.

* 3 have been arrested for assault.

* 71 have credit reports so bad they can't qualify for a
credit card.

* 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges.

* 8 have been arrested for shoplifting.

* 21 are current defendants in lawsuits.

* And in 1998 alone, 84 were stopped for drunk driving, but released after they claimed Congressional immunity.


Capitol Hill Blue did not list the names of all the individual members of Congress accused of the various crimes, but did note that some were "serial offenders" with extensive tracks records of fraud or violence.


For example, reported Capitol Hill Blue, Rep. Corrine Brown (D-FL) has a "long, consistent record of deceit," including tens of thousands of dollars in unpaid bills, allegations of bribery, and numerous lawsuits against her. And Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) faces charges that he beat his wife, has a history of barroom brawls while mayor of Alexandria, and has publicly stated that he likes "to hit people."


"With a rap sheet like that, you have to wonder why Americans expect Congress to solve the problem of crime -- since Congress seems to be causing so much crime," said Dasbach. "In fact, if this study is correct, the best way to cut crime may be to lock up Congress and throw away the key."


And given the obvious economic incompetence of so many Senators and Representatives, you have to wonder why voters trust them with the federal budget, he said.


"Here are politicians who routinely bankrupt businesses, write bad checks, engage in fraudulent practices, and have bad credit," said Dasbach. "That could explain why the country is more than $5 trillion in debt, why federal programs are so wasteful, and
why taxes are always going up. Are these really the kind of economically illiterate people we want to trust with our money?" If nothing else, said Dasbach, the Capitol Hill Blue investigation may help puncture the myth that Senators and Representatives are somehow superior to ordinary Americans, or better equipped to solve the nation's problems. "By its very nature, politics tends to attract venal people who crave power, who want to control the lives of other people, and who think they are above the law," he noted. "This study makes that
point clear -- and illustrates that when it comes to politicians, the only thing worse than their voting records are their criminal
records."

U.S. 'Will Come to the Table', this is a smart move, as we all know the iranians dont want to stop at nuclear power for their civilians, but make weapons.. the onus is on iran, a country afloat on oil, needs no nuclear power for electricity. stupid people at the markets are already rejoicing that bush is making up kisses to iran.. but we all know its going to make iran look more ridiculous if they can go that low.

I have to agree with Catherine.

Almost the same number of allied troops died on one day, D-Day- with 2500 dead on the beaches of Normany in a few hours- as in the entire three years of the Iraq war.

2500 combat deaths means that, if they were divided equally by the 50 states, we have lost 50 people from each state in three years. 50. That's about 17 a year. (Fewer than the accidental slip and fall casualties per day in the U.S..)

Only the exaggerated hysteria of the panicky press and historically-naive public makes the Iraq war seem like a massive, worrisome, quagmire cataclysm.

If every combat death is reported like Hamlet's demise to the 99% personally-uninvolved public, and played in the media like doom-and-gloom and the end of the world, people's perceptions will skew toward distorting what, in every previous war, was the sadly accepted cost of victory.

The problem with this war is that the pussyfooting politicians will not fight it as a war. Or name the enemy- Islamic Imperialism as the true source of the combatants we face ... as they filter in from Syria, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, etc.

The way the 24/7 press treats everything to do with current warfare is about as realistic as looking at your lover's face through a microscope. (A pore substitute for reality.)

Perspective is as important as strategy.

We have the power, and the native will.

We just need to sweep the lying class of political panderers and pimps from office.

And replace them with people who know the thinking of Teddy Roosevelt and George Patton more than random samples and Pew polls.

We need a wartime leadership, not a dithering bunch of half-hearted, half-informed half-wits.

Teddy Roosevelt!!!! Yes that is what we need now...He was a no nonsense, foreward seeing, and bright....W is non of these....

Saudis are enemy number 1 in my book. They are at the heart of the whole mess. They invented the stupid religion and it is they who fund terror, it is they who wage war against us with our own money....

In the end it all comes down to oil money. It crupts our leaders while making the muslims stronger, it makes us have to kiss their behinds becuase god knows if the cut the oil coming in our economy would no doubt suffer.

This is why I get so angry with those that take the Christian Vs. Muslim angle to everything. It has nothing to do with Jesus Vs. Mo, or our faith vs. your faith, or even our culture is better then yours. Those will NOT win this war. New Technology will...

(1) Coal Conversion (the Germans did in WWII why can't we do it now with even better results)
(2) Nuclear Power (we have safer methods now)
(3) New knowledge in physics (pure research)which perhaps could led to new technologies

These technolgies would free of us of Muslim influence....once that is gone then we can at last take the gloves off and really get to work pushing back the followers of Mo.

Might may not make right but it always wins.

We are on the verge of a new robotic army within 20 years folks and a new space based laser the can deal with atmospheric issues will perhaps be online even sooner. On that day what do you think we should have in mind for a good test firing???

Let me give you a guess "Its a big rock"

And now it is a bunch of little rocks....

We should tell them its the power of God!

Just how many more Muslim empty promises are there?

Just wait till the Muftis take over the EU, 'Bad. Then you'll see some bullcrap on the sling bigtime.

There is no consequence for a Moslem reneging on a deal. They are exempt from any honor standard by way of their expressly dishonorable belief system.

Witness,

Get a student visa and come to any U.S. city; see for yourself.

Witness -- I don't really see what you're describing. Do you know of specific examples, or have you seen an upsurge in a specific area? I'm sure a mosque is going up somewhere, but as for "mushrooming everywhere" -- I don't see that...

Witness,
I say this because I, an "islamophobe" went on a tour on my 100 cc covering 50 miles radius around my city. They are mushrooming over here in India, too. Or the older ones are getting a new, long, minarets. There are 5 minarets being constructed in my city. All illegally. One is almost finished, the rest were stopped by the municipal board, and the muslims have taken the board to court. The one that was made, was financed by saudi money.
