Bulleting Cricket
Please remove your prejudice and bigotry and accept the reality. Most importantly stop American terrorism in the region. We got the whole chapters and verses of American Terrorism.
Pakistan is an outpost of CIA or agent of America. Democracy was prevented in Pakistan by the barrel of gun with the direct assistance of USA. People of Pakistan do not want anyone to use their land to kill Afghanis, Iraqis, Iranians or anyone for that matter. Yet, people with “manifest destiny” have been using their land for murdering others against wish and interest of Pakistanis. The Yanks are doing so by bribing corrupt generals and officials.
Should anyone dare to protest against these undemocratic actions of outsiders, generally get manhandled, arrested and tortured! Judges find these types of actions are illegal. Yet, the Yanks remove and sack judges through their proxies. Even they are capable enough to remove President and Prime Ministers of that country!!
Remember, it was the Yanks and Pakistani generals who went on to introduce harsh interpretation of Islam for their own benefit. Now, they can not change their teachings overnight! Therefore, please do not blame any religion or race for current tragedies in Pakistan or elsewhere.
I have decided to spell it out despite the fact I oppose violence initiated by any individual, group or state.
Penultimately, Nelson Mandela said, “if you talk to people they will talk to you – if you hit them with stick they will hit you back”.

Israel Centric Policies Will Destroy USA
Israel centric policies demonstrated in this link and Zionised establishments inside and outside America are damaging Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine and many parts of the world. The net result is total failure of American policies around the globe. Now they want America to attack Iran!
The evidence is here! Would you believe, no one is allowed to debate the issue!! What a brilliant example of FREE SPEECH?
Obama has breakfast with troops; meets Karzai
By FISNIK ABRASHI, Associated Press Writer 21 minutes ago
KABUL, Afghanistan - Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama shared Sunday breakfast with American troops in Kabul ahead of an expected meeting with Afghan leader Hamid Karzai, a man Obama has criticized for not doing enough to rebuild his war-torn country.
Obama and the other senators traveling with him met with soldiers and sailors from their respective constituencies, said Lt. Col. Dave Johnson, a U.S. military spokesman.
"The food was great, but the company was better," Johnson said.
Obama has made Afghanistan, where Taliban and al-Qaida-linked militants are resurgent, a centerpiece of his proposed strategy for dealing with terror threats. The candidate has said the war in Afghanistan deserves more troops and more attention as opposed to the conflict in Iraq.
While officially a part of a congressional delegation on a fact-finding tour also expected to take him to Iraq, Obama was traveling in Afghanistan amid the publicity and scrutiny accorded a likely Democratic nominee for president rather than a senator from Illinois. Security was tight and media access to Obama was limited by his campaign.
Traveling with Obama were Sens. Chuck Hagel, a Nebraska Republican, and Jack Reed, a Democrat from Rhode Island. Both are military veterans and have been mentioned as potential Obama vice presidential running mates, although Reed has said he is not interested in the job and Hagel would be an unlikely cross-party choice.
Obama and others in the delegation received a briefing Saturday inside the U.S. base in Jalalabad from the Afghan provincial governor of Nangarhar, Gul Agha Sherzai, a no-nonsense, bullish former warlord.
"Obama promised us that if he becomes a president in the future, he will support and help Afghanistan not only in its security sector but also in reconstruction, development and economic sector," Sherzai told The Associated Press.
The area where the meeting took place is not far from where Osama bin Laden escaped U.S. troops in 2001 after his al-Qaida network led the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Obama's first overseas tour since securing the Democratic nomination — he is scheduled to travel to Europe through next week — could be key to honing his foreign policy strategy with less than four months before the election. His rival for the presidency, Republican Sen. John McCain, has criticized Obama for not spending more time in the region.
The delegation also met Saturday with top military leaders and troops at Bagram Air Field, the main U.S. military base north of the capital, before going to Jalalabad Air Field in Nangarhar province.
Obama advocates ending the U.S. combat role in Iraq by withdrawing troops at the rate of one to two combat brigades a month while increasing the military commitment to Afghanistan. Obama has proposed sending two more combat brigades — about 7,000 troops — to Afghanistan. McCain is also advocating sending more forces to the war-battered country.
U.S. military officials say the number of attacks in eastern Afghanistan, where most of the U.S. forces in the country operate, has gone up by 40 percent so far in 2008, compared to the same period in 2007.
Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, told The Associated Press on Saturday that after intense U.S. assaults there, al-Qaida may be considering shifting focus to its original home base in Afghanistan, where American casualties are recently running higher than in Iraq.
Obama has also expressed weariness with the efforts by Afghanistan's neighbor Pakistan to go after militants in its territory. That frustration may strike a chord with Karzai, who has accused Pakistan's intelligence service of supporting the Taliban insurgency — claims that Pakistan denies.
But Obama has also chided Karzai and his government, saying it had "not gotten out of the bunker" and helped to organize the country or its political and security institutions

Psychopaths R Us - Learning torture and murder for fun and profit
Zio-Nazis are free to insult and attack others. They are lacking of any valid defence legally, morally or otherwise. However, the same pigs are calling names, killing babies, conducting terrors and running the longest running concentration camps without any remorse whatsoever!
They deserve to be in side the gas chamber! It is long overdue.

70 AIRMEN PUNISHED FOR NUKE "ACCIDENT (?)" !!!
70 punished in accidental B-52 flight, Missing Nukes and Bin Laden, Pearl Harbour, Gulf of Tonkin, 9/11 of 1967, 9/11 of 2001 and Mistaken Nukes point out to people who control America.
Our Moral Rights and American Duty are two carcinogenic clusters in USA, UK and Australia.
Beside the above, why the hell the US and world media is very silent about this? Remember, on that day, mighty Israel bombed Syria!

Following is a dialogue between 2 members of Issues and Alibis re: the "accidental" ??? transporting of 6 armed nuclear missiles acrosss the United States... also a good, explanatory article.
Hmmm.... It looks like Bush got caught with his pants down, in his plans to start WWIII !! And 70 U.S. airmen paid the price for Bush getting caught in another of his lies.
What this incident tells us is that the UN is worthless as an organization of peace for ALL NATIONS OF THE WORLD.
The statement it makes is:
1. The UN is bought and paid for by the U.S. and its allies.
2. The U.S. and its allies are allowed by the UN to do pretty much what they please... i.e., have WMD, and can impose sanctions on other countries and/or invade them if they have any designs toward making WMD.
3. The U.S. and its allies can have WMD, but other countries can NOT have them !!
Does anyone see a discrepancy is this ??
4. The UN is NOTHING but a tool of the U.S..... Plain and simple.
Like many Americans, I am sick of the discrepancies, the lies, and the dishonor of the United States. America has no vision of peace and good will toward the rest of the world... Only a "ME FIRST and TO HELL WITH THE REST OF YOU" military philosophy. America is a MILITANT NATION... NOT a peaceful nation. Sadly, it never has been.

70 punished in accidental B-52 flight
By PAULINE JELINEK, Associated Press Writer 29 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - The Air Force said Friday it has punished 70 airmen involved in the accidental, cross-country flight of a nuclear-armed B-52 bomber following an investigation that found widespread disregard for the rules on handling such munitions.
"There has been an erosion of adherence to weapons-handling standards atMinot Air Force Base and Barksdale Air Force Base," said Maj. Gen. Richard Newton, the Air Force deputy chief of staff for operations.
Newton was announcing the results of a six-week probe into the Aug. 29-30 incident in which the B-52 was inadvertently armed with six nuclear-tipped cruise missiles and flown from Minot in North Dakota to Barksdale in Louisianawithout anyone noticing the mistake for more than a day.
The missiles were supposed to be taken to Louisiana, but the warheads were supposed to have been removed beforehand.
A main reason for the error was that crews had decided not to follow a complex schedule under which the status of the missiles is tracked while they are disarmed, loaded, moved and so on, one official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the record.
The airmen replaced the schedule with their own "informal" system, he said, though he didn't say why they did that nor how long they had been doing it their own way.
"This was an unacceptable mistake and a clear deviation from our exacting standards," Air Force Secretary Michael W. Wynne said at a Pentagon press conference with Newton. "We hold ourselves accountable to the American people and want to ensure proper corrective action has been taken."
Rep. Ellen Tauscher, D-Calif., chairwoman of the House Armed Services strategic forces subcommittee, said she believed the Air Force had done a thorough investigation, but the findings were "a warning sign that there has been degradation" of attitudes toward the handling of the weapons.
"These are not just rules that people dreamed up ... just so they could check off the boxes," she said. "This is fundamentally important to the security of the country and the world."
Hans Kristensen of the Federation of American Scientists was among those skeptical that the August flight represented an isolated incident.
He said a decline in Air Force standards for nuclear weapons maintenance and security was documented by the government a decade ago. In recent years, he said, Minot and Barksdale have both gotten poor marks during inspections routinely required for certification.
"Part of the reason is that after the end of the Cold War, and the disappearance of the Soviet nuclear threat, the nuclear career was not very sexy — it was not the way to go if you wanted to" advance in the military. A shortage of people with the right skills, training and mentality followed, something the Air Force has worked to improve, he said.
Newton acknowledged that the Air Force needs to "restore the confidence" lost among the American people after the August incident, which raised questions about the safety of the country's nuclear arsenal.
"We are making all appropriate changes to ensure this has a minimal chance of ever happening again," Wynne said.
Newton said the flight in question resulted from an "unprecedented string of procedural errors," beginning with a failure by airmen to conduct a required inspection of the missiles before they were loaded aboard the B-52 bomber at Minot. The crew flying the plane was unaware nuclear warheads were on its wing, though it wasn't explained what role they played in the mistake.
Highest ranked among those punished were four officers who were relieved this week of their commands, including the 5th Bomb Wing commander at Minot — Col. Bruce Emig, who also has been the base commander since June.
In addition, the wing has been "decertified from its wartime mission," Newton said.
Some 65 airmen have been decertified from handling nuclear weapons. The certification process looks at a person's psychological profile, any medications they are taking and other factors in determining a person's reliability to handle weapons.
After it was loaded with the missiles, the B-52 sat overnight at Minot, flew the next morning to Louisiana , and then sat on a tarmac again for hours before anyone noticed the nuclear warheads.
Newton avoided repeated questions on what extra security would have been required if crews had known the nuclear weapons were on the plane. But another official later said privately that security was increased as soon as the nuclear warheads were discovered.
The Air Combat Command ordered a command-wide stand-down — instituted base by base and completed Sept. 14 — to set aside time for personnel to review procedures, officials said.
The incident was so serious that it required President Bush and Defense Secretary Robert Gates to be quickly informed.
Wynne prefaced his remarks about the B-52 incident by saying that, in publicly confirming that nuclear weapons were involved, he had authorized a one-time exception to U.S. policy, which states that the location of nuclear weapons will never be confirmed publicly. He said he made this exception because of the seriousness of the episode and its importance to the nation.
The weapon involved was the Advanced Cruise Missile, a "stealth" weapon developed in the 1980s with the ability to evade detection by Soviet radar. The Air Force said in March that it had decided to retire the Advanced Cruise Missile fleet soon, and officials said after the breach that the missiles were being flown to Barksdale for decommissioning.

2. The Zionism is worse than Nazism,
3. If Americans Knew these information then they may have done something else and
4. Zionism is older than Nazism!
The longest running concentration camps located inside occupied Palestine are a curse to humanity. Therefore, the slow motion Israeli holocaust is more painful than Hitler’s one and ought to be condemned unconditionally.
If you or anyone fails to understand these undeniable truth and reality then you lot must volunteer yourselves to the nearest gas chamber.

Islamic Heaven
by Syed Kamran Mirza
09 Oct, 2007
Some so called modern Islamic apologists often try to fool the western infidels that Islam is a very simple religion and Islam never lures Muslims with erotic heavenly pleasures. Nothing could be furthest from the truth then this ridiculous claim of Islamists.Let's examine very closely the facts about Islamic heaven.If we research on the heavens of world's five famous religions this is what we can learn: Both Judaism and Christianity talk about heaven but do not describe what is in there! Hinduism talks about heaven and give some earthly material pleasures but does not go any further. Buddhism does not believe in after-life, and do not have any hell or heaven. They believe hell and heaven exists on this earth.But Islam emphatically describes many forms of heavens (at least 8 of them with various status/classes) with plenty of earthly greed's and lusting/erotic pleasures which not many human beings (made of soil) can refuse to get it.
Muslims devoutly pray at least five times (some pray even 10 times) a day, visit Mekka and fawns Pirsand Darbishes (Saints) just to get the ultimate ticket for those lustful happiness of heavens.In my childhood I asked our Huzur (Imam of the Mosque) what exactly will be the likes of heavenly rewards from Allah for which all Muslims are fawning Allah by five times prayers per day, and fasting for one month. The Imam shaheb replied: "after your death you will be resurrected again as an healthy young man of 25 year old. There in the heaven you will be given beautiful Houris/Gillman, wine, and plenty of foods to eat. You will stay young for ever and death, disease will never come near you again." Folks, all those Islamic Mullahs, Maoulanas, all those Jihadis of Kashmir, Palestine, Osama-Bin-Laden's terrorist gang, and all other gullible Muslims ardently believe just that.………….

Bush and Ahmadinejad attend the ceremony together!!Such a demonstration of Peace and Good Will would resonate around the world with positive effect !! It would begin a new path of peace and undertanding.Afterwards, Bush could throw a State dinner for Ahmadinejad, welcoming him to America and the White House, inviting the Iran leader for a series of "diplomatic peace talks"... after which the media reporters would be invited for videos and question and answer sessions.That is the manner in which world peace, friendship, and understanding are accomplished.

Iran leader denied on WTC wreath request
By PAT MILTON, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 38 minutes ago
NEW YORK - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad asked permission to lay a wreath at the World Trade Center site when he comes to New York City next week, but the request was denied, a police official said Wednesday.
Ahmadinejad, who is arriving Sunday to address the United Nations' General Assembly, had asked this month for permission to visit the site of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, police spokesman Paul Browne said.
The request to enter the fenced-in site was rejected because of ongoing construction there, Browne said.
"Requests for the Iranian president to visit the immediate area would also be opposed by the NYPD on security grounds," Browne said.
The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Zalmay Khalilzad, told reporters Wednesday that the United States would not support Iran's attempt to use the site for a "photo op."
"Iran can demonstrate its seriousness about concern with regard to terrorism by taking concrete actions," such as dropping support for Lebanese militant group Hezbollah and suspending their uranium enrichment program, Khalilzad said.
Browne said Ahmadinejad had asked permission from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, U.S. Secret Service and police department. The police and the Secret Service provide security to visiting heads of state.
The Port Authority, which owns the trade center site and is the only agency that could grant him permission to go inside, said it never received such a request, contradicting the police statement.
"We have not been asked to accommodate the president of Iran," Port Authority spokesman Steve Coleman said.
It wasn't clear whether Ahmadinejad wanted to descend to the base of the trade center site, where the twin towers once stood, or lay a wreath on a public sidewalk outside the site.
Telephone calls to the Iranian Mission to the United Nations were not immediately returned.
White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe said a visit to ground zero "is a matter for the city of New York, but it seems more than odd that the president of a country that is a state sponsor of terror would visit ground zero."
Iran and the U.S. have not had diplomatic relations since Washington cut its ties with Tehran after Iranian students stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979. The Bush administration has accused Iran of arming Shiite Muslim militants in Iraq and seeking to develop nuclear weapons.
In a television appearance earlier this week, Ahmadinejad said his country wanted peace and friendship with the United States, as tensions continued to mount between the two countries.
