Michael Oren, Israel?s ambassador to Washington, lodged a formal diplomatic protest known as a demarche. And the White House was thrust into action, reassuring the Israelis that the administration had its own ?red lines? that would trigger military action against Iran, and that there is no need for Jerusalem to act unilaterally. Reply 1 - Posted by: Robinsolana, 12/28/2011 6:08:37 PM?????(No. 8238042) The Israelis must have felt the knife touch their back. Obama has little troubel throwing small democracies under the bus. Now, with their existance at stake, Obama wants to reassure his Jewish base that he is Israel's best friend. Why they would believe any of this, is beyond me.

Chavez prefaced his remarks at a military event in Caracas by saying, "I don't want to make any reckless accusations," but the Venezuelan president said he was concerned by something he finds "very, very, very strange."

Post Reply TEHRAN/DUBAI - The U.S. Fifth Fleet said on Wednesday it would not allow any disruption of traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, after Iran threatened to stop ships moving through the world's most important oil route. "Anyone who threatens to disrupt freedom of navigation in an international strait is clearly outside the community of nations; any disruption will not be tolerated," the Bahrain-based fleet said in an e-mail. Iran, at loggerheads with the West over its nuclear programme, said on Tuesday it would stop the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz in the Gulf if Iran warns of closing strategic Hormuz oil route Associated Press, by Ali Akbar Dareini???

Romney added a bit of a soft touch on Gingrich?s inability to get on the ballot in Virginia by explaining why he compared Gingrich to Lucille Ball. ?We all make mistakes and sometimes our campaigns can?t get things done quite right. I don?t compare those mistakes to Pearl Harbor. When I see mistakes, I try and find a little humor. In this case, Lucille Ball in the chocolate Va. GOP to require loyalty oath in presidential primary Richmond Times-Dispatch [VA], by Andrew Cain??? Original Article Posted By: Desert Fox- 12/28/2011 3:49:32 PM ??? Post Reply Richmond, VA - At the request of the Virginia Republican Party, the State Board of Elections voted 3-0 today to close the March 6 presidential primary and require a loyalty oath for participation. That means anyone who wants to vote must sign a form at the polling place pledging to support the eventual Republican nominee for president. Anyone who refuses to sign the pledge will be barred from voting. During a brief meeting at the state Capitol, the board also held a drawing that determined Texas Rep. Ron Paul will appear first on the ballot for the primary, followed by former Massachusetts Gov.

Original Article Posted By: gvrc- 12/27/2011 11:20:12 PM ??? Post Reply Arlen Specter is a reasonably tough guy. He has survived two forms of cancer and multiple election losses with few public complaints.

Post Reply HBO is catching some flak in the wake of comedian Bill Maher's crack about Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow. Maher, who hosts the long-running HBO show "Real Time With Bill Maher," wrote a message on his Twitter account after the Broncos lost to the Buffalo Bills on Saturday. "Wow, Jesus just f**ked TimTebow bad! And on Xmas Eve! Somewhere ... Satan is tebowing, saying to Hitler "Hey, Buffalo?s killing them."

That the President of the United States feels confident in taking so much highly visible relaxation time seems, in my eyes, almost ostentatiously haughty and aloof--but perhaps that's the idea? From the White House Dossier, emphasis mine: (Snip) With this one, Obama reaches a new milestone, having gone golfing 90 times in less than three years as president. That?s about three months of golf, given that the excursions generally take about five hours ? much of the useful portion of the day.

For President in 2012, Mitt Romney Power Line, by John Hinderaker??? Original Article Posted By: Dreadnought- 12/27/2011 11:04:26 PM ??? Post Reply It is time for Republicans to get serious. After flirting with just about every candidate in a large presidential field, is is time to come home to the one candidate who has the demonstrated ability to run the largest organization in the United States, the Executive Branch of the federal government; who has never been touched by the slightest taint of scandal; whose success in the private sector makes him the outsider that Republicans say they are looking for; and who has by far the best chance of beating President Obama: Mitt Romney.

Original Article Posted By: DW626- 12/28/2011 4:03:52 AM ???

It is the worst such threat since the trusts and monopolies of the early 20th century, and in much the same way. Cronyism is one of the major forces behind the establishment of the corrupt pseudo-aristocracy that has been taking shape in this country over the past two decades, a synthetic privileged class made up in large part of politicians, hustlers, and hangers-on who have become expert in exploiting Cheetah the chimp from 1930s Tarzan flicks dies Associated Press, by Staff???
