Crucifixion revised

Dec. 30, 2008

Hamas, the Islamic terrorist organization running the Gaza Strip, and Iran have revived crucifixions as a means of punishment for non-Muslims. Its pretty sick and twisted especially during the height of Christian holidays, but it's not getting much press. The big story is simply the rockets and the Israeli counter attacks.

However, the implications are stunning and Christians must hear this. Islam hates Israel and the Jews. That much is clear. But the world's largest religion better sit up and take notice.

On Tuesday Hamas legislators marked the Christmas season by passing a Sharia criminal code for the Palestinian Authority. Among other things, the code legalizes crucifixion.

Hamas's endorsement of nailing enemies of Islam to crosses came at the same time as it renewed its jihad. Here too, Hamas wanted to make sure that Christians didn't neglected as its fighters launched missiles at Jewish day care centers and schools. So on Wednesday Hamas lobbed a mortar at Erez crossing point into Israel just as a group of Gazan Christians were standing on line waiting to travel to Bethlehem for Christmas.

Vindication for Pres. Bush

Dec. 30, 2008

Some very important news got "lost" in the elections, probably because it vindicates Pres. George W. Bush who has been accused of instigating a wrongful war. On July 5, 2008, The Associated Press released a story titled: Secret US. Mission hauls uranium from Iraq.

The last major remnant of Saddam Hussein's nuclear program, a huge stockpile of concentrated natural uranium reached a Canadian port Saturday to complete a secret U.S. Operation that included a two week airlift from Baghdad and a ship voyage crossing two oceans.

The removal of 550 metric tons of "yellowcake" — the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment — was a significant step toward closing the books on Saddam's nuclear legacy. It also brought relief to U.S. and Iraqi authorities who had worried the cache would reach insurgents or smugglers crossing to Iran to aid its nuclear ambitions.

What's now left is the final and complicated push to clean up the remaining radioactive debris at the former Tuwaitha nuclear complex about 12 miles south of Baghdad — using teams that include Iraqi experts recently trained in the Chernobyl fallout zone in Ukraine.
