We in the United States sometimes take security for granted and I hope and pray that we don’t one day get stung by a another 9/11. I fear if we let our guard down for one second we could have an attack worse than 9/11. We have not had a suicide bomber in the United States yet and we hope we never do.
Now imagine living in Israel, where the constant threat of suicide bombers, bombs, and attacks occur daily. How would we react in the United States if this was happening to us? Americans would not tolerate this for one second–I believe the United States would take action immediately.
Well one person did take action today in Israel, and her name is Michal Ya’akov of the Israeli Military Police. She stopped a suicide bomber at Hawara checkpoint in Nablus. She, in our opinion, is a true female hero. One side note, and this is tragic, the would-be suicide bomber was only 16 years old. I’m begging the Islamic fanatics to stop using children and the most innocent among your culture for the hideous violence in the name of jihad! You should be teaching them about respect, honor, and dignity towards fellow human beings, not how to put on a suicide vest!
Here is an excerpt about Michal Ya’akov day
Corporal Michal Ya’akov of the Israel Military Police’s Teuz Battalion was responsible for preventing a suicide attack at the Hawara checkpoint in Nablus Monday evening. “The entire incident lasted maybe 30 seconds,” Ya’akov related. “I was about two feet away from him and asked him to go through the metal detector.
“It beeped, and I asked him to raise his hands, and then I saw the explosive devices under his shirt, near his pants. I yelled ‘bomb at the checkpoint,’ and the entire force went into action, perfectly. We called him to lie down so the shockwaves from the explosion would be closer to the ground, but he refused. “Then I saw him lower his arms suddenly and the checkpoint commander shot him several times. I assume he was trying to activate the bombs in order to blow himself up,” she said. Ya’akov said that when she asked the terrorist how old he was when he approached the roadblock, he said he was 16. She added that there were no intelligence warnings about a specific attack threat. An IDF investigation revealed that the man had been carrying three pipe bombs. The IDF spokeswoman said army sappers later detonated the pipe bombs at the scene in a controlled explosion. A Palestinian security source in Nablus said the dead individual was a 16-year-old youth from the village of Beit Furik near the city. Other details were not immediately available. The IDF said that a Palestinian man arrived at a checkpoint acting suspiciously while pacing back and forth. The force manning the checkpoint called on him to identify himself, and noted that he was handling an object that appeared to be an explosives belt secured to his body.

Does anyone else think this is big news?
A court in Tunisia convicted 14 young Islamic militants Thursday of trying to build a hydrogen bomb and sentenced them to up to 14 years in prison, a lawyer said. The suspects, who come from the North African country’s southern regions and range in age from 19 to 30, were taken into custody in November 2006. The court handed them prison sentences ranging from five to 14 years on charges of belonging to a terrorist group and trying to build a hydrogen bomb, defense lawyer Samir Ben Amor said. Prosecutors said the group’s leader confessed to carrying out two experiments with the device in a remote mountain region, but the suspect denied the claim in court…

Sorry for the sick story, but it just goes to show what evil exists in the world.
From AFP:
Liberian rebels cooked and ate human innards while serving under warlord-turned-president Charles Taylor, his former deputy testified Wednesday at the exiled leader’s war crimes trial. A member of Taylor’s presidential guard, Nelson Gaye, “had the habit of eating fellow human beings,” the former vice-president Moses Blah told the Special Court for Sierra Leone, a war crimes tribunal in the Hague. “I saw one incident with my own eyes. I visited a camp… he roasted the hands of a human being, then ate them with boiled cassava,” Blah said, in a testimony that also detailed a key link between Taylor and rebels in Sierra Leone’s civil war. He said Gaye and his men also cooked human intestines and ate them with cassava. “You could not enter the unit without doing that.”

Barack Obama is very very dangerous, especially when it comes to national security issues. He [Obama] was asked about Gitmo and other issues the other day and here was his answer: Oh, on Gitmo, that is easy, close it down now–and restore habeas corpus. Ok well enough, should Osama bin Laden’s Driver be granted habeas corpus? Should Khalid Sheikh Mohammed have habeas corpus restored? Here is the definition of habeas corpus:
A writ issued to a sheriff, warden, or other official having allegedly unlawful custody of a person, directing the official to bring the person before the court, in order to determine the legality of the imprisonment
Again, I ask should these terrorists have access to the American Court System. We say hell no! We have to be honest here so here it goes–Barack Obama doesn’t mind sitting down with terrorist dictators, we know this because he is friends with a man [Bill Ayers] who tried to blow up the Pentagon and New York City police headquarters among other things.
Investors Business Daily Editorial sums it up best:
“However hard Obama fights the label of appeaser, his inability to recognize evil disqualifies him from the presidency in wartime.”

Unbelievable, Palestinians are calling the United States in support of Barack Obama–this should give us all pause. Who is paying the Palestinians to call the US in support of Obama–just a question folks.

Investors Business Daily is the most well written paper in the United States in our opinion. Their Editorials deliver hard hitting analysis of the major issues of the day with a great focus on National Security issues. Today, Investors Business Daily called Barack Obama quote, “the most radical Democratic presidential nominee ever.” And we agree! Are we to believe that everyone around Barack Obama thinks ill of their own country but somehow he does not? That is just too much to swallow–because when you take his wife’s comments about America, his pastors comments about everything, and his terrorist friend stepping on the American Flag and blowing up things something isn‘t on the up and up. We believe that Barack Obama says one thing to the American voters, but in private has similar beliefs as his radical friends and associates. Sorry, but we ain’t buying the so-called glorious rhetoric that Barack Obama spills in his prepared speeches, because we all know if he said what he really believed the general election would be a 49 State landslide for John McCain!

It’s rare to find true heroes in today’s world but we have found one worthy of everyone’s praise and admiration.
From the UK SUN:
A SOLDIER who lost a leg in a Taliban bombing is returning to the Afghanistan front line – to try to avenge a fallen friend. Anthony Makin, 21, was injured in a 2006 attack that killed his pal James Dwyer, 22. After learning to use a prosthetic limb he has been given the all-clear to rejoin 29 Commando Royal Artillery. He said: “There is the revenge thing, to fight for my friend. I can’t wait to get back. It’s been tough but I got there in the end.” Anthony had six months’ rehabilitation at Headley Court military centre in Surrey. An MoD spokesman said: “He’s shown amazing strength and courage.”
