When the funky National Intelligence Estimate came out, many intelligent people (including the less intelligent among us such as myself) stated this would be the end of the road for an effective halt to Iran’s weaponization & nuclear ambitions.. 

Lo and behold..

A bit over a month later, the word Iran does not even appear in the dictionary any longer, let alone in the media. Have you heard a word about Iran ANYWHERE? It’s like they’ve been ‘wiped off the map’.

Iran? Never heard of it. All is quite on the (Jihadi) Western Front, almost time to open up serious negotiations! You know, sell a little more of America away to the Jihadists.. Wait, what’s that? Oh it’s nothing, probably just another shipment of Russian Nuclear Fuel for the Iranian reactors. Nothing to see here, move along.

UPDATE: Iran not content to keep quiet

Iranian Revolutionary Guards make mock suicide speedboat runs on US Warships

5 speedboats have apparently made mock attack runs, broadcast suicide bomber style threatening messages, and did quick cargo drops near 3 US warships in the key shipping Straits of Hormuz, nearly prompting the US warships to open fire on Sunday. According to Fox News the very cool Geoff Morrell from the Pentagon said the US along with the WH are awaiting an official explanation.. Are the Iranians goading, or worse yet training for attacks on live US sea targets in broad daylight now!? If so, this is the latest testament to how well appeasement works as a policy in general. I’m sending a Christmas card to the US Dept. of State.

Requisite absurdity Obama Comment follows:
That is precisely why the visionary messiah Obama, is best suited to lead! He’ll likely bring us all to WWIII in the near future with his testicle-less, head in the sand non existent foreign policy ideals based on the appeasers handbook. Just ask Neville Chamberlain how well that worked out.

CNN’s never ending slide into rampant leftism has further eroded the once heralded news station’s stature here in the Holy Land. A few years ago providers threatened to outright drop CNN from the grid due to what Israel perceived as enormous bias against our country in coverage.

The criticism went all the way up to official government spokespeople. That led to intervention by senior CNN executives and pledges to stiffen up the network’s coverage from the spineless jihad love fest normally being exhibited..

Now HOT Cable, the largest cable provider in Israel wants better terms on CNN’s renewal here, citing the network’s ‘fall from grace’ as the cable news leader to the Fox News network & is threatening to simply drop CNN outright.

JPOST - ‘Hot’ TV prepares to pull plug on CNN

More than half of Israel’s TV audience will lose access to CNN next month, the international news channel said Tuesday. The announcement came as contract negotiations collapsed between the news network and Hot Television, with the 24-hour news channel saying it had yet to receive a “serious” offer from Israel’s largest cable provider. [...]

A Hot representative confirmed Tuesday the company had refused to match the terms of its previous contract with CNN, saying expectations that it do so were “unrealistic” because CNN had lost its status as the top-rated news network to Fox News. The statement was a reference to Fox’s dominance in the American TV ratings, where it first surpassed CNN as the most-watched cable news network in 2002.

The apparent dig at CNN gave some insight into the tone of the negotiations between the two companies, which a CNN spokeswoman said had consisted of “a brief meeting and a few phone calls.” No additional talks are scheduled at the moment, officials for both sides confirmed. Hagit Mendes, the spokeswoman for CNN, described an initial renewal offer from HOT as “insulting,” saying the company would “basically deprive half the Israeli population of one of the most important channels in the world” should it go through with threats to remove CNN.

Mendes said that just three countries in the world - Iran, North Korea and Myanmar - didn’t carry CNN, and that “it wouldn’t look very good” if Israel were to move closer to joining that list. [...]

CNN’s typical liberal elitist arrogance is unmatched. We don’t need CNN here in Israel, nor would dropping CNN reflect poorly on Israel at all, the opposite in fact. It would be a reflection on the poor whitewashed Middle East coverage by the network, not Israel!

Miss Mendes like a little turd compares Israel to Iran & North Korea.. That’s the problem Miss Mendes, you keep equating Israel with Iran & North Korea the most appaling regimes on Earth, not only in your contract negotiations, but in your broad coverage which features endless moral equivalency that does not reflect reality. There’s so much Islamic ‘context’ & apologizing going on for the brutal savages that murder in Islam’s name that we here in Israel can’t stomach your network any longer.

On top of the insult that is CNN’s piss poor, monstrously left tilted reporting we are also expected to cut checks & pay for this privilege!? I think not personally. Israel is served by Fox News, Sky News, the already leftist diseased BBC etc and features one of the most wired / connected & informed populations on the planet, we don’t need your schlock - Take it & shove it where the sun don’t shine.

Don’t call us, we’ll call you.

UPDATE: WHAT A BLAST!!

My profound thanks to Heidi of EuphoricReality fame for such a great show & handling the reigns for Kit whom I hope feels better pronto. Great callers (impressively informed I must say). A most interesting discussion from my perspective that was very enjoyable, WELL worth a few hours slumber & then some! Archives, if you’d like to tune in will be up I imagine shortly at the links.

Be sure to tune in to The Frontline Wed & Fri at 10PM Eastern with Kit at BlogTalkRadio & thanks again for having me for round 2!

I’ll be joining my favorite red headed infidel Kit on her BlogTalkRadio show “The Frontline“ tonight to discuss Iran.

Should be a good time as I had fun last time she had me on. Of course, I’ll be on my best behaviour seeing as it will be late AM here in Israel. Catch it live if you’d like streaming at 10 PM Eastern

On Deck:
Everyone knows I’m a big fan of the Iranian regime, I’m hoping to look at some of the often unspoken tough questions with Kit. Laying out the terrain regarding US or Israeli military strikes, while keeping an eye on the multilateral paralysis vis a vis the diplomatic course.

In what would seem to be a moronic move in the age of digital media, communities, and online brand building Haaretz reports that Yediot Ahronot, the Israel parent news company is shuttering the English Ynet News division and pulling the superlative news site / source in a few days.

Yikes!

All we are saying, is give our propaganda a chance

You’ve probably heard of Voice of America, well actually maybe not but whatever. It’s the American broadcast service destined for international markets in order to better connect with international friends & get the American message out. Interesting news coming out of an Israeli initiative led by Israel Our Home party leader Avigdor Lieberman, to begin Iranian language broadcasts from Israel to the Islamic repressive regime of Iran.

Strategic Affairs

Avigdor about a year ago was assigned the Iranian portfolio, he is coordinating the many aspects of the task pertaining to dealing with a massively mounting Iranian threat. Clearly beyond the smart bomb is an effort to engender better relations and provide an alternative message in Iran, for the many Iranians who are subject to their oppressive regime, as opposed to big proponents of it.

Haaretz: IBA begins formalizing plans to broadcast news program to Iran

The Israel Broadcasting Authority has begun formalizing a proposal initiated by Strategic Affairs Minister Avigdor Lieberman to broadcast Persian and Azeri language programming to residents of Iran.

The plan is to bring breaking news and reruns to Iranians 24 hours a day via a television channel, a radio station and an internet Web site. The operation is estimated to cost tens of millions of shekels and will be funded upon treasury approval by the budget from Lieberman’s ministry.

The strategic affairs minister met in June with senior European Union figures to discuss a joint initiative to begin the Persian and Azeri broadcasts. Lieberman has met recently with senior figures in the defense establishment, the treasury and the Broadcasting Authority to work out the practicalities of the project. [...]

Updating the BBC 9/11 story - which is a frightening glimpse into the clearly partisan, and frankly grotesque worldview of the tax payer funded BBC.

For the initial controversy regarding the BBC indoctrinating & brainwashing young children to hate America & praise radical Islam please see the post below; BBC: We’re coming after your children next.

As an update -  The convoluted affair has now resulted in a changed 9/11 guide, this being now the 3rd version of the page. It is milder yet still poor in my own opinion, but whatever. Clearly at the BBC moral equivalence is par for the course, Al-Qaeda world reviled & recognized mass murdering terrorists cannot be termed as such, as cultural & moral relativism not too mention the endless Islamist sympathy seeping out of every pore of the BBC dictates that terrorists & America stay on equal footing, that judgement on mass murdering 3000 civilians be totally withheld.

The BBC’s version of reality being a nihilists wet dream come true and a shining example of the root causes for the decline of our Western civilization. Simply put the BBC is staffed by radically liberal maniacs, who’s sympathies clearly lie openly in the unholy-alliance between progressives and radical Islamists.

In case you feel differently, that is that the BBC is not an American hating, Israel bashing, group of Jew hating Islamist sympathizers - but actually an unbiased source for news, here’s a portion of the original 9/11 guide version 1. Where the Muslim apologist worldview is presented fully unvarnished, and where the real institutional wide sickness that pervades the BBC can be viewed openly.

That is that Israel, the Jews, and their American slaves caused 9/11, Israel mentioned 3 times in less than 100 words, blame it all on the Jews because the Arabs & the Islamic terrorists are always innocent & paragons of virtue at the BBC.. Sig Heil huh BBC?

Frankly the anti-semitism speaks for itself:

UK tax payer? Concerned world citizen? Visit Biased-BBC and help uncover and stop the endless shame this infected news outfit is bringing to fine Brits everywhere.

Via Drudge..

The depravity of this pitiful News organization can’t get any lower than it already has. Here’s the BBC explaining to children all about 9/11, so they can grow up to be good little terrorists. Beyond the useful service they are providing worldwide to fuel rampant Anti-Americanism, rampant Anti-Semitism, is there any reason for this Islamist outfit to exist any more? It is certainly not a suitable place to get news, even for the kiddies it seems..

I’m surprised they didn’t mention the Jooz involvement in the whole affair.

UPDATE 9/12 (it’s actually now 9/13 here in Israel - Happy New Year

GONEZO - BBC admits 9/11 explanation totally inappropriate, and removes / re-writes their youngin guide on 9/11. The still above is now an archived record of what was. I’ve not read the new version so far, I had a big holiday dinner and I’m not ready to puke just yet.

hat tip to the always smokin Atlas Shrugs, plus she’s got more..
(ain’t that the truth lol.)

UPDATE 9/14 - BBC BACKPEDAL
Uhh, the page was removed, and now has been put back..
In its original form!

Stop the ACLU has the details

(Two can play that game, this post has been sent BACK to the top of the blog)

Hmm.. Katie Couric carries the CBS ‘party line’ reporting in Iraq, of course nothing she saw was very real because keep in mind the US Army is about, and they are masters of deception. They staged an entire city market scene just for Katie Couric, total cost to tax payer? 13 billion dollars. I’m checking with my sources in the Pentagon now which has no comment - but vowed to bring down the costs of any ‘future staged scenes’ dramatically.. I swear, you can’t make this kind of crap up.

Short Video of Katie telling us all about it..

Transcript:

BOB SCHIEFFER, HOST: Katie, what are you impressions after being there on the scene? We’ve all followed this for years from afar but once you’re there - anything surprise you in particular?

KATIE COURIC: Well I was surprised, you know, after I went to Eastern Baghdad. I was taken to the Allawi market which is near Haifa street which was the scene of that very bloody gun battle back in January and you know this market seemed to be thriving and there were a lot of people out and about. A lot of family owned businesses and vegetable stalls and so you do see signs of life that seem to be normal. Of course that’s what the U.S. military wants me to see so you have to keep that in mind as well.

All right boys, bring down those backdrops and get that rigging tied up, Katie’s moving and we need to setup pronto! Bring that vegetable stall corporal & shape up, you call yourself a Marine!? I need those watermelons stacked by 0-eight hundred, and get me HQ on the horn - We need to find out exactly what they want setup for the NY Times shoot tomorrow & we’ve got CNN airlifting through here - Let’s get this show on the road people..

The New York Times - I’m telling you, I’ll never understand the liberal fascination with getting into the skin of the bad guys, that perverted need to identify with, often laud, or quietly harbor feelings of admiration for scum, terrorists and worst of all radical Islamists. Sometimes this is candy-glossed over in an attempt to make this perverse identification acceptable to the general public, but what is it really? Is it equivalence? Ignorance, or simply the more moronic among us given a platform to spew forth gross crap, like freshly popped acne..

Steven D. Levitt at the times takes the cake with his blog opinion piece giving out suggestions on how to carry out the next big terror attack, while INVITING thousands of readers to send in suggestions for even worse carnage.. get this, in order to ‘better prepare / secure ourselves for the next big one’.

Ya.. sure. Instead of letting the cave dwellers try to outwit us on their own, Mr Levitt prefers to implore western civilization into serving up the next ‘big thing’ in mass murder - pipping hot & fresh for the Islamists.

I say why not take a trip to Tora Bora yourself stevo - why not get yourself a first hand glimpse right into the minds of your latest fascination? Incidentally, white bleeding heart liberal guys like Steve are normally lined up on the wall there & summarily shot, which might not be the worst thing I’ve heard today. <— IDIOT.

Don’t mind me Steve, I’m not advocating your actual execution - I’m just getting into the mindset of the enemy so to speak, how very Sun Tsu of me.

UPDATE:
Levitt is taking heat & defending himself in part deux
Memeorandum has the roundtable, with Malkin leading off, plus Allapundit is always good for a few shits & giggles

MORE: KOOLAID ALERT! - This Liberal Yid academic comment I read at Malkin’s blew me away..

Malkin’s over-reaction to the NYTimes column illustrates its main point, that people have an irrational fear of terrorism. Even the World Trade Center attack did relatively little damage to the US - we lost a little under 3000 people and a few billion dollars. The invasion of Iraq has cost more lives and much much more money.

There’s the old moral equivalence sickness again, check your head dude & try to cut back on the LSD - Yikes, speaking of irrational..
