I previously posted about the latest rash of scandalous photos coming out of Afghanistan showing U.S. military atrocities under Obama’s command, and wondering if the media would pick up on it the way they did when it was Bush’s army… Well, here’s a twist I wasn’t expecting: yes, one of the U.S. media, Rolling Stone, [...]
Jeffrey Goldberg, a correspondent for the Atlantic, cast a spotlight on yet another disgustingly overt example of pure bias in the mainstream media, particularly at the anti-Semitic Reuters newswire. He points to a Reuters news item which contains the following despicable sentences: Police said it was a “terrorist attack” — Israel’s term for a Palestinian [...]
In the [sparse] reporting of the Palestinians’ massacre of the Fogel family, several newspapers stand out with their distorted sense of “balance”, i.e., where they feel overwhelmingly uncomfortable describing the barbarity of the Palestinians without at least taking a swipe or two at the Israelis, no matter how patently irrelevant or disgustingly disrespectful it comes [...]
As Israel Is Spurned, Obama Warms Up To Syria

As news of the Obama administration’s hostility towards Israel continues to roll out of Washington, there’s now the additional news of cozying up to terrorist haven Syria and its dictator, Assad. In fact, Obama has now decided to lift various embargos against Syria and has plans to lift yet more in the future.
These embargoes were initiated by Congress in the Syria Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2003, “to sanction Syria for its support for terrorism, its occupation of Lebanon, its pursuit and development of weapons of mass destruction and missiles, and its failure to support the stabilization and reconstruction of Iraq.”
When you stop to consider that Syria still supports terrorism (just last year awarded Syria’s highest medal to Samir Kuntar), still is pursuing weapons of mass destruction (a secret nuclear reactor was discovered and destroyed by Israel less than two years ago), and still harbors terrorists destabilizing Iraq… you can’t help but wonder what changes justify this new warm and cuddly relationship Obama is developing with them, other than possibly that Syria is an Arab state and a dictatorship, both of which Obama is trying to appease the world over against our better interests, for some unknown reason.
As usual, Obama continues to spurn our friends and allies, while kissing the asses of dictators, terrorists, murderers, human rights violators, and outright enemies all over the world.
