Ayham Alsammarae, Iraq’s slimy ex-Minister of Electricity under the Bremer and Allawi administrations, who had escaped from an Iraqi prison by hiring an American security company to break him out back in December 2006, has resurfaced in the Jordanian capital Amman where he gave a press conference today saying, among other things, that he hoped that the insurgency in Iraq “would continue [against U.S. occupation] and avenges the Iraqi people.”
Alsammarae, an Iraqi-American Chicagoan, added during remarks carried by Radio Sawa (Arabic link) that he had contributed the maximum allowable of $2,300 to Barack Obama’s campaign. But there’s another Obama link to Alsammarae: while serving as electricity minister Alsammarae had been involved in brokering deals in the Iraqi electricity sector for Antoin Rezko, Obama’s long-term friend and patron. Rezko is the Syrian-American hustler who was convicted of fraud in an Illinois court on the day that Obama secured the Democratic nomination.

Woof. Now we know where Obama will get his gun.

The mere hint of RFK assassination sent them like locusts against Hillary.. lets see what this very obvious reference to shooting someone dead provokes.

I bet nothing.

Oh!Bama! is the green candidate for sure.

Being in line with the majority is no badge of honor when the majority is seriously and dangerously wrong. That is not the quality or definition of a leader but of a followerer, a panderer ,and a lemming ready to follow the rest off the cliff.

And I don’t doubt for a minute both Barack Hussein Obama and John McCain are both that which you so aptly describe.

Global warming resulting from manmade co2 gasses and manmade climate change are false tools of the leftist environmentalists designed to tax and regulate you and I back into the horse and buggy days while creating unimaginable riches for its proponents and dividing up our income to distribute as they see fit.

Its’ been debunked by many scientists, by the global cooling cycle and is only proplogated by idiots, socialists and their supporters in the mainstream media.

I’m frankly tired of watching the Repuplican party reach across the isle, to enbrase failed and false policies (McCain/Feingold) only to be knifed in the back.

I might not agree with McCain on all the issues, but he is in line with the majority on most issues, including global warming. I think it is debatable at the very least, but most people don’t. And I would rather see someone who is not a complete idiot making those kinds of policies. And Obama is a lot more aggressive when it comes to government infringement on the market place…whether it be environmentalism or trade or health care or just about anything else.

I think what AJ is referring to here is temperment. Obama promised that he was a reach across the aisle kind of guy. He promised a new kind of politics and here he is talking about a knife fight. I know he is supposed to be defending his wife’s honor or something, but he needs to be going after Hillary’s people on this, not McCain.

And since Obama has so clearly stated the gage of battle, it’s time for McCain to trade the eider-down pillow he’s using in this rhetorical pillow-fight for a pillowcase full of nails. Which I suspect he will do before the end.

One thing the Dems know how to do is fight like an alley cat because to them the ends do indeed justify the means! Part of the communist manifesto!

The Dems ideas and management suck but the American people will never know it unless the useless Republicans get their act together and expose some ideas LONG AND LOUD. Like drilling for oil in the US, building nuclear plants and refineries and becoming truely energy independent.

I’m not saying crawl into the gutter, but for Gods’ sake show the American people some ideas that will work and that you have spine enough to call a global baloney spade a spade. Unfortunately I believe McCain is on the wrong side of both those issues.

So whomever gets elected the American public looses and will be paying dearly for gasoline and many other commodities for a good long while.

I only wish W. would issue an executive order to drill, build and refine, a mission on the magnatude of space exploration or the moon walk is called for but hell W. won’t even go before the American people and stand up for himself or his party.
