POPSHope for Change? Bush may speak of al Qaeda, perhaps of "Islamofascism," and others he'll accuse of brutality, while contrasting their ideology with a vision he claims to have of peace, liberty, prosperity. But the U.S. government differs not from those extremist groups who use violence to further their causes, for ours is a government which also uses unjustified violence or the intimidating threat thereof to advance its own agenda. The US... has become like the rogue states it takes pride in condemning. Our military is not used to defend our freedom any longer, it is used to enforce an evil interventionist foreign policy. I do believe this empire will eventually end. The choice is between ending it voluntarily by choosing peace and bringing our troops home from all over the world, or its demise out of necessity from economic and human suffering in America. To save lives, rather than a "liberation" of Iraq, the world needs liberation from American imperialism.

POPSBush presidency 'battered', 'incompetent', 'unlucky' Who are these people kidding? They are being far too kind with him. The word I would use to describe him is “criminal”. He set a precedent for spying on American citizens, lied to start a war in order to line his corporate buddies pockets with cash, stomped on the Constitution to give his office more power, run roughshod over habeas corpus, approved the use of torture, appointed incompetent cronies to leadership positions, abused executive privilege to protect criminal activities, is responsible for creating more terrorist than al Qaeda, smothered Americans with a security bureaucracy that has only fostered fear and anger, and run our economy into the ground. The word “Incompetent” doesn’t begin to cover what this administration will be known for.

POPSEXCLUSIVE: Dance Troupe @ Obama-Khalidi Dinner Simulated Beheadings in Recent Past
This group, made up of mostly Palestinian Muslims and under the auspices of the Milwaukee Muslim American Society does far more in its "performance." And it's frightening. In June 2004, I went undercover and attended a Dearborn fundraising dinner for Islamic Relief, the Muslim Brotherhood charity that is a front for HAMAS and Al-Qaeda. Sanabel AlQuds performed to songs calling for martyrdom to "get back Palestine." The kids were young boys, some of them appearing to be no older than seven years old. But they didn't just dance the debkah. Suddenly the Sanabel AlQuds dancers pulled out fake swords and rifles and adorned three of their troupe respectively with an American, Isreaeli, and British flag. The others pretended to behead and/or shoot the boys wearing the flags. Then they put red scarves over the three boys heads, signifying blood and no head. Then, the flags were taken off, thrown to the ground, and trampled on by this young group of Milwaukee dancers.

POPSThe Endorsement From Hell Yet the endorsement of Mr. McCain by a Qaeda-affiliated Web site isn’t a surprise to security specialists. Richard Clarke, the former White House counterterrorism director, and Joseph Nye, the former chairman of the National Intelligence Council, have both suggested that Al Qaeda prefers Mr. McCain and might even try to use terror attacks in the coming days to tip the election to him.

POPSU.N. prays for Obama win Isn't it odd that all of our enemies fervently hope that Obama wins the election? (al Qaeda is using reverse psychology in their support of Obama). The U.N. basically exists to give third world despots a global platform and an attempt at influencing the superpowers. In essence they all feel Obama would be weak and compliant.. and that's what the world and our enemies want - a weakened U.S. Vote for Obama at your peril.

POPSBut it's been this way from '01... Bush and the neocons were -- and are -- Bin Laden's wet-dream... While I personally beleive there are Islamic nuts out there who understand nothing but violence -- when considering the big picture, our policies have fostered rather than hurt Al Qada.

POPSMedia Still Hasn't Told America Who Obama Really Is My viscera knows who this cat is... and a good indication is his televised Freudian slip when he looks in the camera and without flinching says "...my muslim faith..." This bird is an al Qaeda sleeper cell and a Trojan Horse aimed at destroying our Nation.

POPSGroup Claims Responsibility for Paki Marriott Bombing Interesting, while Pakistan blames Al Qaeda this "little known" group emerges (from Dubai) and takes responsibility. Interestingly they disclose what the MSM thus far has not: had targeted 250 U.S. Marines and NATO officials which he said had been at the hotel

POPSDispute over US- Pakistani F-16 deal But the move has raised the ire of some representatives in Congress. They are blocking the payment because they say the money was supposed to go towards counterterror programs. "We are concerned that the administration’s proposal to use military assistance to pay for the F-16 upgrades will divert funds from more effective counterterrorism tools like helicopters, TOW missiles, and night-vision goggles," said Howard Berman and Nita Lowey, heads of two key committees in the House of Representatives, in a July statement.

POPSAl-Qaeda breeding ground in Pakistan no international relief agency (United Nations, Red Cross, etc) is in sight. Some efforts made by the local government have also run aground by rampant corruption and lack of will to acknowledge the plight of these people at the highest government level. Worst of all, neither the Pakistan or American army, whose bombs have displaced thousands of children, women and old men, fail to acknowledge the consequences of their actions. To them the matter is closed and is not worth discussing. Let us write to our senators, congressmen, our national and provincial assembly members, our presidents and prime ministers and ask them one question. “We can authorize billions of dollars for the bombardment of the region, but can we also authorize a few bucks for the betterment of the local people?” I have said it before, and I will repeat again, “No amount of bombing can win the hearts and minds of the disgruntled populace.”

POPSObama to Palin: 'Don't Mock the Constitution' "We don't always catch the right person," he said. "We may think it's Mohammed the terrorist, but it might be Mohammed the cab driver. You might think it's Barack the bomb-thrower, but it might be Barack the guy running for president."

POPSStill No Exit "Mr. Obama has offered a sensible blueprint for quickly drawing down American troops in Iraq and bolstering the fight in Afghanistan. After a befuddling silence, Mr. McCain on Tuesday finally agreed that more troops are needed in Afghanistan. What Mr. McCain has yet to explain is where those troops will come from. Mr. Bush’s disastrous war in Iraq has so overtaxed American forces that the math is painfully simple: Until there is a real drawdown from Iraq, there will not be enough troops to win in Afghanistan. "

POPSObama: "That's what we're protecting!" Writer says: "This is what first drew me to Obama: his ability to speak fearlessly and unapologetically on behalf of truth and of the principles that make this country a place worth living in."

POPSWill Al-Qa'eda's American-Born Propaganda Chief Make 9/11 DVD? Western intelligence sources in Pakistan believe that al-Qa'eda's prize American recruit and propaganda chief may have been killed in a CIA-directed airstrike. Evan Kohlmann, an investigator with the Nine Eleven Finding Answers (Nefa) foundation which monitors terrorist groups, said: "Al-Qaeda acknowledges that several of its leaders have been taken out. There aren't that many experienced leaders left in the middle ranks and they are being replaced by younger guys with no credentials but lots of enthusiasm." Watch video: 4:16

POPSRunning Against Themselves "Mr. McCain says he is the candidate who will better protect the country from terrorism. But about all he has to offer is his pledge to continue the war in Iraq. We have yet to hear an explanation for how he plans to do that while also salvaging the war in Afghanistan — the real front line in the war against Al Qaeda and the Taliban."

POPSTaliban Launches Large Coordinated Assaults The Taliban claimed responsibility for all three attacks in Khost. Their spokesman, Zabiullah Mujahed, reached by telephone at an unknown location, said that 15 suicide bombers, equipped with machine guns and vests packed with explosives, with 30 militants backing them up, attacked the base, one of the largest foreign military bases in Afghanistan. He claimed that some of the bombers had gotten inside the base and had killed a number of American soldiers and destroyed equipment and helicopters. This last claim was denied by General Azimi of the Afghan military.

POPSResurgent Taliban in Afghanistan Another result of "successful" troop surge in Iraq? As forces that could be used in Afghanistan continue to be diverted to Iraq the failure of the US/NATO Afghan war becomes even clearer.
