AlQaeda planning major European attack

from UK Mirror

Al-Qaeda could be planning to attack this summer’s Euro 2008 football championships in Switzerland and Austria, it was reported today.

“The Euro 2008 tournament is a target cited by the Islamist terrorist network,” a police spokesman reportedly told Swiss newspaper La Liberte.

A flurry of messages have been monitored, by police and security officials in Switzerland, on two Islamist internet forums – sos minbar and As-Sahab – which are favoured by the extremist terrorist group as a means to awaken dormant cells.

One message is reported to say: “Let’s transform these two countries, the safest in Europe, into hell – like the hell in Iraq or Afghanistan.”

Perhaps Obama can sit down and talk to them, and persuade them to change their ways.

Hopefully European authorities will be able to prevent this from happening.

The “renewal” written about over at Brussels Journal couldn’t come too soon.

There are many Europeans who are concerned about the future of our continent and its culture. Many of them work tirelessly in their chosen fields to strengthen European civilisation. But European conservatives do not know one another well. Conservatives respect local traditions and national cultures. But European conservatives likewise recognise that they are part of a common civilisation and it is important for European leaders to meet. Building and strengthening a network of like-minded Europeans is among our key priorities.

Bush cowboys up

Right after I go on a rant about the President not going on the offense and taking it to the democrats, he cowboys up big time… Heh.

Speaking in Israel to the Knesset, President Bush made the following comment…

“Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along . . . We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: ‘Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.’ We have an obligation to call this what it is — the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.”

How do you know when Bush says the right thing? The democrats express “outrage”

Admitted plagiarist Joe Biden called it “bullshit”, as every prominent democrat raced to the microphones to denounce the President’s words.

Atta boy Mr. President! More, please.

The will of the court vs the will of the people

The California Supreme Court overturned a voter-approved ban on gay marriage Thursday in a ruling that would allow same-sex couples in the nation’s biggest state to tie the knot.

Domestic partnerships are not a good enough substitute for marriage, the justices ruled 4-3. LINK

The court wins…..The California SC taking this position, in an election year no less … liberal elitist arrogance personified.

McComb armory renamed for fallen soldier

from Enterprise-Journal

The McComb Army National Guard Readiness Center will be renamed this weekend in honor of a fallen soldier. Sgt. Timothy R. Osbey died Feb. 16, 2005, when his vehicle rolled into a canal in Iraq.

The 29-year-old soldier from Magnolia was a member of the 155th Brigade Combat Team.

At his funeral, Osbey was posthumously awarded a Bronze Star for meritorious service and a Mississippi Medal of Valor.

The dedication ceremony begins at 1:30 p.m. Sunday.

Osbey married Willie Marie Dickerson Osbey before leaving for the Middle East. Osbey also left behind a daughter who was 9 years old at the time of his death.
