Say Anything Blog

Back in 2003, Scott Johnson, of Powerline, wrote a pretty detailed account of the so-called “Cold River” case which was published at Front Page Magazine.

At the time, Johnson had far less material to go on than now.

In his current post at Powerline, ”Cold River: A Case Study” Johnson notes that not only is the State Department’s complicit coverup of Arafat’s guilt an inexcusable abomination, it also goes a long way to explaining why it is that conservatives have for so long distrusted the State Department (and CIA) bureaucrats.

That Arafat shared the Nobel Peace Prize with the execrable Jimmy Carter demonstrates the petty politicization of that once prestigious award, and the small ugliness of both recipients.

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

No surprises here.  The U.S. State Department is an operation for and of itself.  There are several books out that tell how the State department has and continues to operate--the Secretary of State has very little control over how things are done--he/she is the figurehead that is in the news--the rest of the operation goes on as always with their own agenda.  The agenda is primarily a preservation of their jobs and perks, and that is maintained through a policy of “getting along” at whatever the price, with whomever it involves”.  It was called “keeping a lid on it” in the corporation I worked for.

Arafat was one of, if not the biggest terrorist to ever walk the earth.  What bothers me about terrorist leaders is that they do get away with murder! Multiple murders. AND the USA is somehow bound by the UN??? Ahmadinejad is a known terrorist. HOW can he come to our country and not be finger printed and questioned? Diplomatic immunity for a country that SHOULD be considered a terrorist State, IF it already isn’t considered a terrorist state?  Diplomatic immunity is not serving our own citizens!… Does this make sense?

This post got triple posted.  ZZ had posted this under one of the other topics.  I thought it best to delete the other two and move her comment to here in this matter.

I hope that’s ok with everyone, especially ZZ.

What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.
