Iranian Animated Film for Children Promotes Suicide Bombings

This has got to be one of the more chilling things that the Chief has seen in some time, made available by MEMRI, the Mid-East Media Research Inst.

Yes, Saturday morning in Iran, and time for the kids to watch cartoons, right? Well, their cartoons are showing a dramatized view of Islamoterr suicide homicide bombers attacking Israel. Of course the Israelis shown act as though they were graduates of the SS, so of course it's great to kill off the Jews.

Islamoterr pulls the pins out on his grenade belt.

MEMRI has the transcript here, but to get the full flavor of the implacable hatred, check out the clip itself. It certainly illustrates how the Islamofascist view of things truly reflects a culture of death.

Talk about caretoons from hell...this is it!

F.E.T.E.

Oh, lovely. Asking "Where are the good Jews" is awfully close to saying "There are no good Jews in the public eye", isn't it? Or perhaps that's just my neocon imagination....

Outlawed Muslim Brotherhood walks the streets of Cairo

Earlier this week on a main commercial street in Doqqi, a middle class suburb of Cairo, there was a scene unthinkable even a few months ago. Not a single uniformed policeman was in sight as a procession of hundreds of supporters of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, both men and women, marched in an orderly formation down the street chanting slogans in support of Hazem Abu Ismail, their parliamentary candidate.

F.Y.I. - The Islamic Islamofascist Brotherhood is one of the early and most hard-core Islamofascist groups around.

Iran removes 40 ambassadors, diplomats

Iran's hard-line government said Wednesday it was removing 40 ambassadors and senior diplomats, including supporters of warmer ties with the West, from their posts in a shake-up that comes as the Islamic republic takes a more confrontational international stance.

This of course is under the leadership of their President - who was one of the hostage-takers in 1979, and has a long history with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.

Alito nomination to test 'Gang of 14'

Senate Republicans said yesterday they will use the "nuclear constitutional option" to ban judicial filibusters if Democrats try using the tactic to block the confirmation of Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. to the Supreme Court. "Certainly, this does not rise to the level of extraordinary circumstances," said Sen. Mike DeWine, Ohio Republican. "Therefore, I would be prepared -- if a filibuster were tried -- to go to change the rules in the Senate to stop the filibuster."

Folks, short of something TRULY extraordinary, Judge Alito will become Justice Alito.

Yesterday, Judge Alito had five private meetings with senators on Capitol Hill, drawing praise from Republicans and at least qualified praise from Sen. Tim Johnson, a Democrat from conservative South Dakota. "From what I know at this point, it would appear that his 15 years on the federal bench, his experience, his legal skills are at a high level," said Mr. Johnson, who said he hasn't made up his mind about whether to support the nomination or seek a filibuster.

This is NOT to say that the Donks will quietly allow this to happen, but in spite of their caterwauling, weeping, wailing, and knashing of teeth, it'll happen.

No Democrat has called for a filibuster against Judge Alito, but several have declined pointedly to rule out such a tactic to keep him off the high court. Most Republicans have said they support using the "nuclear option" to break any new filibusters against judicial nominees such as Judge Alito. But for Republicans to ban judicial filibusters, they need the support of at least three Republicans in the Gang of 14. Four Republicans and two Democrats have found no "extraordinary circumstances" with the Alito nomination. Although that number is not enough to prevent Democrats from filibustering the nomination, it is enough to employ the nuclear constitutional option.

Personally, the Chief hoped that the Kennedy-Reid-Schumer axis tries a filibuster, just so it can get shoved back down their throats.
