Pelosi drops the ball - AIPAC takes all
Pelosi may not have gotten everything she wanted this midterm election - but AIPAC sure as hell did.
House Speaker-elect Nancy Pelosi managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of her own personal victory yesterday, losing the battle to name Rep. Jack Murtha as her own second-in-command.House Democrats instead voted by a resounding 149-86 for Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer as their new majority leader - a solid rebuke to Pelosi’s ham-handed attempt to install the ethically dubious Murtha.
Pelosi apparently saw no irony at all in vowing, “We will not be dazzled by money and special interests,” and then immediately nominating Murtha, who has spent a lifetime in Congress being coddled by the defense industry and taking good care of its practitioners in return.
And who coddles Hoyer?
Why AIPAC, of course - that's in addition to the Defense industry.
And, he's not the only staunch Zionist heading the Democratic House - Rahm Emmanuel takes fourth place, to head the Democratic caucus.
What a line up - AIPAC couldn't ask for anything more.
Meanwhile, Americans voted themselves out of one Zionist House and into another.
How many times must congressmen (and women) be stacked in AIPAC's favor for Americans to realize that the game is rigged?
Israel will be protected. Otherwise,if isreal is made to leave--all them chosen thugs will settle in USA.--God please no-we got too many of them Russians already.

Putin Says Russia Needs High End Nuclear Forces
Created: 17.11.2006 10:54 MSK (GMT +3), Updated: 11:57 MSK, 8 hours 51 minutes ago
The country’s nuclear forces must remain capable of guaranteeing the destruction of any potential aggressor, President Vladimir Putin said Thursday, as he addressed a meeting of senior military officials, The Associated Press reports.
“Maintaining a strategic balance means that our strategic deterrent forces must be capable of destroying any potential aggressor, no matter what modern weapons systems it has,” Putin said at a meeting of senior military officials.
He said Russia needed to build “principally new strategic weapons systems” to maintain the balance of forces. “We’re not going to keep comparing quantities of strategic forces in nuclear powers as we have been doing for decades, although it still makes some sense,” Putin said in televised remarks. “In the modern world, it’s the quality of weapons that is more important than the number of nuclear warheads.”
He said that along with a strong nuclear deterrent, the military should also preserve efficient conventional forces.
Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov said a strong military power was essential for Russia to “protect the nation’s security and territorial integrity, firmly defend our national interests and, if necessary, adequately respond to any attempts of political pressure and blackmail,” Itar-Tass reported.
In his state-of-the-nation address in May, Putin emphasized that Russia needed a strong military to resist foreign pressure. Windfall oil revenues over recent years have allowed the government to increase weapons purchases and fund the development of new weapons.
“The period of patching holes and elementary survival is over,” Putin said Thursday in a reference to a cash shortage that followed the Soviet collapse. “The Army and the Navy are again acquiring power and self-confidence.”
Ivanov said that of the military’s budget of 820 billion rubles ($30.7 billion) next year, 300 billion rubles would be spent on new weapons, including 17 new intercontinental ballistic missiles. That is a significant increase over recent years, when the military was buying just several new strategic missiles per year. Ivanov added that a state weapons program for 2007 to 2015 envisaged spending the total of 5 trillion rubles ($188 billion) on the development and production of new weapons.
In response to broad criticism of poor conditions and rampant bullying of young conscripts by older soldiers, Ivanov pledged Thursday to punish officers who allowed abuses and open the military to more public scrutiny. Ivanov said there were 473 noncombat deaths in the military in the first 10 months of the year, compared with 876 during the same period last year. Of that number, 20 deaths resulted from bullying compared with 26 during the same period last year, and 167 were suicides, compared with 206 in 2005, he said.
He said the military this year would disband all construction battalions, notorious for the most vicious bullying and other abuses. He added that three generals were fired this year for assigning to soldiers tasks unrelated to service.

URGENT BULLETIN: I have come to the defense of Christopher Bollyn before at this space, and acknowledged that he always seems to have real updates before they even come up. In the following instance, Christopher has gone directly to his source for his material, as he generally always does, that source being the father of golden boy wunderkind Rahm Emanuel, Congressman from Illinois, ( where Christopher incidentally lives ), and johnnie-come-lately National Ziocratic Committee Chairman. I have also previously stated here that this character would bear some much needed further scrutiny. Well lo and behold, who but your friend and mine, Mr. Christopher Bollyn, should be the one to provide it ? The Counterpunch article is fine, but it only scratches the surface. Qrs- I urge you to follow this up and if you deem fit, to post a link to Christopher's article of Nov. 17 about Rahm Emanuel, ( and just where this freak is really coming from ) which can be found at Rumor Mill News, or at Judicial Inc for starters. I urge everyone who reads this to go there, while the ink is still wet. THIS IS IMPORTANT
I'm so exhausted
If you have one handy that'd be swell.

Qrs; Try this one, http://www.iamthewitness.com/Bollyn-Emanuel.html Sorry I don't know how to paste live links, sorry to hear you're pooped...Take the weekend off.
Unfortunately it took segregationist Governor Wallace to reveal the truth that "there's not a dime's worth of difference between" Republicans and Democrats. The Democrats willingly went along with the War in Iraq, suspension of Habeas Corpus, detaining protestors, banning books like "America Deceived' from Amazon, stealing private lands (Kelo decision), warrant-less wiretapping and refusing to investigate 9/11 properly. They are both guilty of treason. Now the Democrats put ‘Hate Speech" laws back on the table (fancy words for CENSORSHIP) on behalf of Jews. Soon we'll attack Iran on behalf of Israel. Support indy media.
