Dear Pastors:
I am at home this Monday morning rejoicing on this THANKSGIVING WEEK for the Goodness of the Lord and all the many things we as Christian people have to be thankful for. Mrs. V. and were privileged to read the Old Testament Minor Prophet Nahum this morning.
Nahum 1:7 was especially precious to she and I this morning. Na 1:7 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. [The LORD is our strong hold: the LORD is our strength!] Mrs. V. has put the words of Nahum 1:7 to music, and it was a blessing to ask her to sing it, and hear it sung.
Nahum was the seventh of the minor prophets, and of him, little is known, except from the Title of the book, "The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite [1:1]!"
Nahum’s prophetic ministry occurred between the conquest of No-Amon [Thebes] in Egypt [3:8,] regarded by him as a past event and which occurred in 661 B.C. under Ashurbanipal, and the destruction of Nineveh in 612 B.C. Nahum confines himself to one theme, by and large, The destruction of Nineveh, "The Bloody City"[3:1].
Nahum’s preview of Nineveh’s destruction [chaps 2 & 3] previsions the crash of the Assyrian Empire. In 612 B.C. Cyaxares the Mede, in league with Nabopolassar of Babylon commenced the siege of Nineveh. The terrifying aspect of Ninneveh’s fall is depicted as a just recompense of the powerful and cruel city. Nahum was a seventh-century prophet who lived at the same time as Zephaniah, Habakkuk and Jeremiah. In the destruction of Nineveh, Nahum sees the punishment of the horrible cruelty of the Assyrian world power.
Now, I am going somewhere, as I look back to Nahum’s prophecy of Nineveh’s destruction, and then look at current events as they are coming down the pike yonder in the Middle East, with the coming of Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah, certainly being just around the corner.
I would like to thank all of you that wrote Mr. Netanyahu as a consequence of my email to him, about not extending the "building freeze" commitment to D.C., as reports now, both from Washington and Jerusalem are, that Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, and the Obama administration never did manage during his trip to Washington earlier this month to forge a deal for a second 90-day Israeli moratorium on West Bank construction, in return for three billion dollars-worth of 20 F-35 stealth planes.
Praise the Lord! I believe the combined voices of Truly Born Again Christians and Jews, raised in a hubbub to Mr. Netanyahu kept "this building freeze" from being extended.
The only accords reached during his marathon meeting with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Nov. 11, applied to American diplomatic and political support and guarantees, our sources report.
Netanyahu's presentation of their terms to the cabinet meeting Sunday, Nov, 14, was therefore misleading.
According to that briefing, Washington tacitly agreed to omit Jerusalem from the West Bank moratorium and promised 20 warplanes, in addition to the 20 already purchased, to be supplied gratis.
Washington sources stress that Clinton made no such commitments on behalf of the administration.
The prime minister apparently hoped to swing a majority of his cabinet behind the 90-day moratorium in return for those far-reaching US benefits and hoped to persuade Washington to be more generous after the freeze was in the bag.
As things stand now, the prime minister finds himself in a predicament.
Reluctant to embarrass him, US administration officials are making no comment.
But some of Israel's senior ministers, including Deputy Prime Minister Moshe Yaalon, a former Chief of Staff, demanded that Netanyahu produce a written document from the White House confirming the putative deal.
For you California Preachers who will be meeting with Mr. Ya’alon two weeks from tomorrow, you need remember to thank "Boogie" for his demand to Mr. Netanyahu for a "written document" from the White House, as certainly, Boogie agrees with you and I that "we cannot trust this White Hosue" in matters pertaining to the Nation of Israel.
The Prime Minister has been hedging all week saying the document is in negotiation with Clinton.
It is now obvious that no American document will be coming.
Even if it is, sources say it will not be much use to Netanyahu because it will cover Jerusalem as part of the construction freeze as well as the West Bank.
This situation prompted David Hale, Deputy U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East, George Mitchell, to advise the Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, whom he visited in Ramallah Wednesday, to pay no attention to published reports of a US-Israel deal contracted by Netanyahu because it did not exist.
Now, with Nineveh in mind, let us switch gears to one of the most "powerful nations" in the Middle East, and certainly, with regards to women and innocents, "one of the most cruel," Saudi Arabia!
When the octogenarian Saudi King Abdullah, head of the world's largest producer and exporter of petroleum liquids, suffers ill health, many world centers feel the chill and start worrying about the impact of a succession race on the monarchy's stability.
On November 13, the Saudi press carried an official Royal Court bulletin stating that King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz had back problems and was under doctors' orders to rest up as part of the treatment for a slipped disc.
The bulletin stressed its publication was in line with the policy of transparency the king had introduced. Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz, 75, was named as official in charge of the hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, which began this week with more than three million pilgrims and new, modern amenities.
Nothing was said about him standing in for the king in other areas, although it was widely reported in Riyadh this past year that Nayef was frontrunner in the race for the role of crown prince.
Sources therein note that even in modern Western societies, a government head rarely informs the public of a back complaint – all the more so in Saudi Arabia's secretive political culture.
This information may be gossiped about in court circles or go round the bazaars.
Normally, even if it were reported in the West, a comment from the royal court would be unthinkable.
For nine years, King Fahd lay at death's door, incapacitated by a severe stroke and unable to perform his royal functions.
Yet the Saudi media faithfully reported on his "activities" as though nothing was amiss and never hinted at his real condition even after it was an open secret.
Therefore, from my read here in Oklahoma, Middle East experts on Saudi Arabia believe the surprise medical bulletin means one of two things are happening: Either the 87-year old king decided to put to rest rumors of a far graver illness by officially disclosing a non-life-threatening ailment, or he is sending a broad hint to senior princes of his own generation that it was time to come clean about their deteriorating health and start moving sideways.
A "side show" is the fact that now Thousands of princes are scrambling as the ageing rulers [plural] fall ill!
Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz, 86, for instance, has been fighting cancer for years and spends more time outside the kingdom undergoing surgery and other treatment than performing his duties as defense minister at home.
Last month, Sultan's son, Prince Khaled bin Sultan tried to refute the impression of his father's declining condition by telling everyone he was in good health.
The Saudi media painted a rosy picture of the dying prince by describing his schedule as packed with appointments with Arab leaders.
As for Abdullah, even if all he suffers from is a slipped disc, he has admitted he needs a long period of rest from his labors at the helm of the kingdom's governing administration.
The poor state of his health was confirmed Wednesday, Nov. 17, by the elevation of his son Prince Mutaib bin Abdullah to membership of the Council of Ministers and promotion to Commander of the Saudi National Guard, part of Abdullah's holdings from when he was Crown Prince.
Even if they were hale and hearty, the advanced ages of both the king and defense minister, who is also the next in line to the succession, are enough to stir disquiet within the royal family and spotlight the race for the next slots in the hierarchy.
Number 2 is more or less accounted for.
More than a year ago, Prince Nayef was appointed Second Deputy to the Prime Minister, Saudi code for next Crown Prince and one step from the throne after Abdullah and Sultan breathe their last.
But thousands of princes are agog in anticipation of the fast-approaching battles over who comes next in the line of succession to the throne.
This question came into sharp focus with the unforeseen return home on Oct. 15 after a long absence of Prince Bandar Bin Sultan, Director of the National Security Council and Ambassador to the US for twenty-two years.
And from my read, it is plain that Prince Bandar staking his claim to top post! All intrigue, but that is what you have in these type "Mohammedan" societies!
The grand reception staged for his return was seen as a show of strength by the Sudairi branch of the royal house to which Bandar belongs.
It was attended exclusively by the sons of the senior princes of that branch, Nayef, Sultan and the late king Fahd, excepting only one outsider, Prince Muqrin bin Abdul Aziz, Director of General Intelligence, who is a very close confidante of King Abdullah.
However, none of the king's sons or those of the Sudairi's rivals, the branch headed by Foreign Minister Prince Saud al Faisal and his brother Prince Turki al Faisal, were present.
So what brought Bandar home after an absence of two years?
According to Mid East's sources, seeing the ruling hierarchy showing cracks and the atmosphere in Riyadh growing electric with rivalry, he decided to step into the forefront of the race for one of the top positions in the realm.
Bandar feels his proven foreign policy talents and special gift for secret diplomacy are unappreciated and unutilized.
The powers of the National Security Council which he heads have never been clearly marked out and the body has been marginalized in recent years.
The post of foreign minister or director of general intelligence would, on the other hand, suit him to the ground and give him a seat on the councils shaping the kingdom's strategic and external policies.
This aspiration was hinted at in a report by the Saudi newsletter Al-Ilaf published in London which reported Bandar's return last Sunday as signifying the return of the hawks to the center of action in Riyadh.
Saudi experts hesitate to characterize Bandar as a hawk in the kingdom's foreign affairs.
By their statements and actions, the two Faisal sons, Foreign Minister Saud, 69, and his younger brother, 65, are far more hawkish when it comes to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, refusing to have any truck with Israel until the Palestinian issue is resolved.
All that, I think, Pastors, shows this this "Palestinian-Israeli" conflict will be part and parcel of the events leading up to the coming of our Shiloh-Immanuel-Yeshua!
But the Al-Ilaf story does serve as a bellwether for Bandar's ambition.
History show that the fiefdom tradition keeps top posts in the family!
The door to General Intelligence is closed for now.
The king is all the way behind its director, Prince Muqrin and shows no inclination to replace him.
The foreign ministry is another matter.
Prince Saud, who has served in that position since the death of his father King Faisal in 1975, suffers from Parkinson's disease.
For years, he was said to be ready to retire.
In some quarters, his brother Turki's resignation three years ago as Ambassador to the US after less than two years was accounted for by his hopes of replacing his brother.
But nothing came of it and the post of foreign minister has become the object of princely infighting.
This does not mean that Bandar can hope to snare the job. His chances are rated slim by Saudi sources because of the ruling Saudi hierarchy's rigid structure.
For two decades, it has been governed by the principle of fiefdom, or internal dynasties.
Ageing princes who have served as cabinet ministers for 30 years or more are now grooming their sons to succeed them.
The Saudi National Guard is part of King Abdullah's holdings from when he was crown prince. Wednesday, Nov. 17, he handed its command to his son, Prince Mutaib.
In doing so, he confirmed his own indisposition and also sent a clear message to Defense Minister Sultan to stop messing about and follow suit by making his son Prince Khaled bin Sultan commander of Saudi Arabia's armed forces - or even minister of defense.
Interior Minister Nayef likewise reserves his portfolio for his son and acting deputy, Prince Muhammad bin Nayef, who, too, will take over when the time comes.
History of these Saudis teaches that yes, faces may change - or even shake up the gerontocracy ruling Riyadh, but the Kingdom will go on!
The Faisal clan does not strictly follow this feudal tradition.
The foreign minister's post is customarily the preserve of King Faisal's offspring, so it is very likely that if Saud steps down or is raised to Crown Prince notwithstanding his illness, he will make sure to keep it in the family.
His full brother Turki is the strongest contender for the job, although he may be challenged by their half-brother from another mother, Prince Khalid al-Faisal.
He is about three years older than Turki. The Saudi kingdom may be young (founded by Abdul-Aziz bin Saud in 1932) but it has quickly grown into a political gerontocracy where seniority is an asset.
So Khalid's age is no bar to high office. His other qualifications for the top diplomatic post in the kingdom are his service as Governor of Asir Province for than 20 years and as Governor of Mecca since 2007, a post with plenty of political and media exposure.
It is not known if he wants to be foreign minister.
In the past month, Khalid has been described, mainly in the United States, as likely to emerge as a future king.
Saudi experts rule this prospect out as unfounded because it would entail an almost revolutionary break with the kingdom's deeply entrenched rules of succession, a break radical enough to bring the entire monarchical edifice to collapse.
For now, therefore, the power struggle over the order of succession between the Sudairi clan, headed by Princes Sultan and Nayef and their sons, and the rival branches headed by Abdullah and the Faisal sons, is unresolved.
It may therefore be presumed that the prescription formulated by King Faisal in the 1970s, which has kept the many-branched royal family in balance until now, will continue to prevail. If it does, the Sudairi Nayef will eventually be crowned king and his Crown Prince will come from one of the rival clans headed by King Abdullah and the Faisal brothers. Age and birth will continue to take precedence.
But the change coming to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia may not be as controlled as expected.
Now, Pastors, just as sure as Nahum’s prevision brought about the destruction of the Kingdom of Nineveh, Zechariah 12:3 tells me that Jerusalem will be the burdensome stone for all these Kingdoms that burden themselves with it! Zec 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
And, after he comes, [Zech. 14:4 states that] MESSIAH will stand with his feet on that Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
Zec 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
Zec 13:1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. In our Hymnal, hymn # 222 is "There is A Fountain Filled With Blood" which just happens to be this ole warrior-preachers "favorite" of all, and was written by the hymnwriter because of Zec 13:1.
And, yes, I know, my brethren, the Jews do not believe the MESSIAH to be whom you and I believe him to be.
BUT, at this time, THEY TIME OF ZECHARIAH'S PROPHECY FULFILLMENT, they shall see him, and they shall recognize him FOR WHOM HE IS.
I tell my Jewish friends: only one of us is right, the other is wrong! I am confident to stand with THE HOLY WORD OF THE LIVING GOD, which is their Torah, the Old Testament, that MESSIAH is whom MESSIAH says HE is by the OLD TESTAMENT.
Regardless, regardless, regardless, All the Nations of the Earth were blessed because of Faithful Abraham, Ha-yedid, the only man in all the Holy Bible to be called THE FRIEND OF GOD!
And, there is only 2 "choices" given by the Holy Bible concerning the Jews! We either "bless" them or we "curse" them. There is not a third choice.
JOIN ME IN CALIFORNIA BY BEING A BLESSING TO THE JEWS AT THIS "LESSONS WE LEARNED FROM PEARL HARBOR" EVENT.
SEE YOU IN L.A!

Letter to Congress Elect James Lankford 5th District State of OK
November 8, 2010
Dear Congressional-Elect James Lankford, 5th District, Oklahoma:
James, I write to you from beautiful Marion, Iowa where I am in meetings with Dr. Cecil Ballard and the good people of Grace Baptist Church.
James, as a nobody I write you. From being a "poor boy from the Panhandle" of God’s Texas, this ole man came, out of obscurity 70-1/2 years ago. The LORD GOD OF THE HEBREWS, whom both you and I serve, has certainly been good to me.
James, "Am I become your enemy because I tell you the Truth?" was the same question the Apostle Paul put to the Galatians.
Here are some truths which I have lain eye on today:
First Truth:
30 Oct.
Yemeni president Abdullah Ali Saleh refused Saturday night, Oct. 30, to allow Washington to land US special forces in Al Gouf, 140 kilometers south of Sanaa the capital. Based there, according to US and Saudi intelligence, is Ibrahim Hassan Al Asiri, the Saudi who masterminded the al Qaeda (AQAP) plot to plant explosive packages aboard cargo flights bound for the United States.
There too is Al Qaeda's main fighting base in Yemen with a team of terror planners and bomb makers. So far this bastion has resisted every Yemeni army effort to root it out.
Our military sources reveal that US Combined Task Force - CTF 151 has been standing by Yemen's Red Sea coast aboard the Marine amphibious assault ship USS Boxer awaiting the order to land in Al Gouf, while the Marines Expeditionary Unit 26 waits on the USS Iwo Jima, accompanied by additional US warships.
These folks James, are not just trying to do we "freedom lovers" of the West in Militarily and Politically, it is at the core of all their "religious freedoms" as the lawsuit against the state of Oklahoma relative to our passing 70 to 30 percent the State Question of keeping Sharia and International Law out of Oklahoma’s courts.
Second Truth:
30 Oct.
A broadening multinational investigation seeks to probe the scale of the al Qaeda air freight plot causing mayhem in the international cargo freight system on the assumption that the threat is still viable.
Yemen, to which two explosive parcels bound for Chicago synagogues were traced, itself seized 24 suspect parcels before they were loaded on outward flights.
Middle East counter-terror sources say Yemeni claims of success should be taken with a pinch of salt.
Yemeni President Saleh is eager to show results in his probe as he is under pressure from Washington to show fast results and hopes for financial rewards.
Above all, his army is fighting a losing war against Al Qaeda's inroads in Yemen and therefore unlikely to be able to overcome the terrorist infrastructure which set up the package plot.
Were it not for a tipoff from Saudi intelligence identifying the UPS and Fedex bomb parcels directed from Yemen to Chicago on separate cargo planes, they would not have been discovered before they blew up. Even so, counter-terror sources report, al Qaeda chalked up a coup by successfully penetrating and paralyzing the main intercontinental air mail systems at very little cost to itself.
James, "The fact" that the two explosive parcels were bound for Chicago synagogues, in and of itself, ought to show you, my friend, that "the Jews" are at the "root cause" of all Ishmaelite anger towards we in the west. And, Certainly, you being a Baptist Preacher, you ought to be very well aware of the "blessings" and the "curses" of both Genesis 12:3 and Joel 3:2.
Abraham, James, was the only person in all the Scriptures called the "Friend of God." Hayedid is the same term the Jews called Orde Wingate when he was starting and directing the Special Night Squads. Wingate won the hearts of the Jews during that 1936 - 38 time frame.
After Wingate was the victim of a "friendly fire" incident, he told the Jews: "God has given it to us to slay the enemy of the Jews. The Enemy of the Jew is the enemy of all mankind."
If this 71 year old memory serves me correctly, Wingate was hit with 4 .303 bullets from a British Machine Gunner’s Machine Gun.
Third Truth:
30 Oct.
The speech Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Lebanon's Hizballah, delivered Thursday night Oct. 29 was taken in all sections of Lebanese society as a virtual declaration of war - a conflict which they fear will be even fiercer and crueler than the 1975 civil war.
It is widely believed, according to Middle East sources, that the power-sharing order the diverse communities achieved after that conflict will be swept away and replaced with a pro-Iranian, pro-Syrian puppet regime.
Last Wednesday, Oct. 27, a crowd of Lebanese Shiite women prevented two investigators of the STL tribunal probing the 2005 murder of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri from obtaining documentary evidence for their case at a gynecology clinic in South Beirut.
Middle East sources report that Hizballah hides its top-secret security and intelligence archives in unlikely places like the clinic.
In this case, the concealed documents must have included evidence incriminating the organization in the assassination.
James, I have personally looked at the disaster of "suicide bombers" mayhem in Israel in early 2004 when Bus 14 was blown up in Jerusalem.
The Headline read: Suicide bombing of Egged bus no. 14A in Jerusalem
22 Feb 2004
The Story declared: "Eight people were killed and more than 60 wounded, 11 of them school pupils, by a suicide bomber who detonated himself on a No. 14A Jerusalem bus shortly after 8:30 on Sunday morning near the capital's Liberty Bell Park.
The Fatah Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades claimed responsibility for the attack, which was carried out by Muhammad Za'ul, from the Bethlehem area.
Police believe the bomber got on to the bus in the Talpiot industrial area. Two security guards who boarded the bus failed to identify the terrorist seated with the explosive device concealed in his lap. The bomber apparently decided to chance being discovered in order to wait for the bus to fill with passengers, so as to increase the number of casualties.
The victims:
Israel Ilan Avisidris, 41, of Jerusalem Lior Azulai, 18, of Jerusalem Yaffa Ben-Shimol, 57, of Jerusalem Rahamim Doga, 38, of Mevasseret Zion Yehuda Haim, 48, of Givat Ze'ev St.-Sgt. Netanel Havshush, 20, of Jerusalem Yuval Ozana, 32, of Jerusalem Benaya Yehonatan Zuckerman, 18, of Jerusalem
In the [so-called] West Bank James, I could take you to the very light pole where this suicide bombers picture is up, as a HERO TO THE [so-called] Palestinians.
James, I was on the scene of this bombing before they had cleaned all the body parts off the bus, although all the dead and injured had been removed before our arrival.
Fourth Truth:
31 Oct. The US president's counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan said the fatal UPS mail cargo flight crash over Dubai on September 2 is to be re-examined to find out if it was not caused by an explosive package collected from Yemen.
He disclosed this in an interview to CNN Sunday, Oct. 31. Mid East sources report that if this is what happened, US intelligence missed picking up on al Qaeda's air package plot for two months.
He was referring to the incident in which pilots of a UPS Boeing 747 signaled the Dubai control tower after takeoff that they were turning back because of a fire in the freight department.
Their last message was that the cockpit was full of smoke and they were losing control. Moments later, the plane came down.
Fifth Truth:
01 Nov. Hizballah last Thursday, Oct. 28, conducted a command exercise in all parts of Lebanon to test its armed militia's readiness for what its leaders called "zero hour" i.e. asserting its grip on Lebanon and "cornering" Prime Minister Saad Hariri.
Sources report: It led up to Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah's saber-rattling speech that night, which was seen in Beirut as a declaration of war on the Hariri government and the prologue to heating up the border with Israel.
The exercise was seen by military observers as practice for the action planned for the hours leading up to the Special Lebanese Tribunal's issuance of indictments against Hizballah leaders for complicity in the assassination of Lebanese ex-prime minister Rafiq Hariri five years ago.
The "zero hour" exercise demonstrated, according to Hizballah sources, "the quick implementation on the ground" of the necessary deployment. They claimed that in "less than two hours" they were able to "maintain a security and military grip of large areas of Lebanon."
James, in June the aides to the UN from the IDF briefed me in Northern Israel right across from Bint Jbail, Lebanon. In underground bunkers at Bint Jbail, James, Hizballah has stored 40,000 plus "missiles" which are capable of hitting Israel with great accuracy all over the country.
James, let me hit you with a "What If" question? What if Oklahoma’s neighbors to the South had 40,000 plus missiles stockpiled somewhere in Bunkers just south of the Red River ready to hit us as a consequence of this coming Saturday’s Oklahoma State-Texas Ball game, or the ABC covered Nov. 13th Game between the Sooners and the Red Raiders?
What if, James, both Oklahoma and Oklahoma State won, and those wild-eyed Texas fanatics started shooting missiles at we poor dumb Okies?
Sixth Truth:
02 Nov.
The Iraqi capital was rocked late Tuesday, Nov. 2 by the most ferocious assault al Qaeda has ever carried out on a capital city.
By evening, it had spread to Baghdad's environs after the death toll had climbed past 120 with more than 300 injured from 19 bomb car explosions in a dozen Shiite suburbs. Clearly visible in each was a pair of suicides detonating their explosives.
Scores of roadside and sticky bombs were activated against cars at main intersections and smashed into army, police and emergency teams racing to the scenes of disaster.
The rattle of heavy automatic gunfire accompanied the sounds of explosions. Huge fires broke out amid the violence.
Iraqi army commanders admitted the city had veered out of control and voiced fear that it was just the beginning of a broader al Qaeda onslaught which had already begun spreading.
Interim Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki turned down police request to impose a curfew on the city until control was restored.
James, that is a very serious situation for Nouri al-Maliki to have to face — THE MOST FEROCIOUS ASSAULT al QAEDA HAS "EVER" [JAMES] CARRIED OUT ON A CAPITAL CITY, the report is?
7th Truth:
02 Nov. In his farewell briefing to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee, Tuesday, Nov. 2, departing Israel Military Intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Amos Yadlin listed the threats to Israel as headed by Iran.
But he warned that Syria is buying advanced Russian self-propelled air defense missiles with long-range optical and targeting ranges that would encumber the Israeli Air Force warplanes' freedom of action in an emergency.
Iran, he said, would soon have enough fissile material to build one or two nuclear bombs.
Syria while snapping up every advanced piece of war hardware coming off Russian production lines continues to arm the Lebanese Hizballah.
Although Iran's Lebanese surrogate can now hit Tel Aviv with its rockets, its leaders are afraid of the price that would pay and have not forgotten the lessons of the Second Lebanon War of 2006.
The IDF unveiled new logistical and technological improvements.
Mobilizing reserves now takes an hour and a half instead of a day and a half, solar energy will replaced electricity, helmets and flak vests are lighter, food rations tastier and individual soldiers will be fitted with orthopedic boots.
8th Truth:
03 Nov.
The sharp differences between Israel and Britain came to the fore Wednesday, Nov. 3, during William Hague's first visit to Israel as Foreign Secretary.
He was informed that Israel had halted the strategic dialogue with the UK in protest against the failure of successive British governments to repeal a law allowing its leaders to be arrested for war crimes on arrival in Britain.
Since 2005, pro-Palestinian activists have used the concept of "universal jurisdiction" to threaten Israeli leaders with arrest for alleged war crimes.
Several serving and former Israeli leaders have cancelled trips to Britain after being warned they could be arrested.
The latest was Deputy Prime Minister Dan Meridor, who called off his trip to Britain last month to avoid prosecution.
Israel was put out by the undiplomatic, overbearing way in which Hague managed his visit, summoning Israel's intelligence chiefs to the UK ambassador's residence to brief him on the Iranian nuclear issue and omitting courtesy calls on government ministers.
The visitor hit back at the cold shoulder showed him in Jerusalem by meeting and praising three groups leading the Palestinian anti-Israel protest movement.
The UK foreign secretary told them that popular resistance against Israel was justified.
James, these are just some of the "truths" which are of concern to the 5th District Congressional citizen voters of Oklahoma, and, as our duly elected Congressman, we believe these truths ought be of concern to yourself.
Would you be so kind as to reply to some of these issues, and apprise us of the stand you will be taking on them, plus, also, the CAIR lawsuit against our 70-30 passed "anti Sharia, anti-International law" State Question?

If this 71 year old memory serves me correctly, Wingate was hit with 4 .303 bullets from a British Machine Gunner’s Machine Gun.
Third Truth:
30 Oct.
The speech Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Lebanon's Hizballah, delivered Thursday night Oct. 29 was taken in all sections of Lebanese society as a virtual declaration of war - a conflict which they fear will be even fiercer and crueler than the 1975 civil war.
It is widely believed, according to Middle East sources, that the power-sharing order the diverse communities achieved after that conflict will be swept away and replaced with a pro-Iranian, pro-Syrian puppet regime.
Last Wednesday, Oct. 27, a crowd of Lebanese Shiite women prevented two investigators of the STL tribunal probing the 2005 murder of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri from obtaining documentary evidence for their case at a gynecology clinic in South Beirut.
Middle East sources report that Hizballah hides its top-secret security and intelligence archives in unlikely places like the clinic.
In this case, the concealed documents must have included evidence incriminating the organization in the assassination.
James, I have personally looked at the disaster of "suicide bombers" mayhem in Israel in early 2004 when Bus 14 was blown up in Jerusalem.
The Headline read: Suicide bombing of Egged bus no. 14A in Jerusalem
22 Feb 2004
The Story declared: "Eight people were killed and more than 60 wounded, 11 of them school pupils, by a suicide bomber who detonated himself on a No. 14A Jerusalem bus shortly after 8:30 on Sunday morning near the capital's Liberty Bell Park.
The Fatah Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades claimed responsibility for the attack, which was carried out by Muhammad Za'ul, from the Bethlehem area.
Police believe the bomber got on to the bus in the Talpiot industrial area. Two security guards who boarded the bus failed to identify the terrorist seated with the explosive device concealed in his lap. The bomber apparently decided to chance being discovered in order to wait for the bus to fill with passengers, so as to increase the number of casualties.
The victims:
Israel Ilan Avisidris, 41, of Jerusalem Lior Azulai, 18, of Jerusalem Yaffa Ben-Shimol, 57, of Jerusalem Rahamim Doga, 38, of Mevasseret Zion Yehuda Haim, 48, of Givat Ze'ev St.-Sgt. Netanel Havshush, 20, of Jerusalem Yuval Ozana, 32, of Jerusalem Benaya Yehonatan Zuckerman, 18, of Jerusalem
In the [so-called] West Bank James, I could take you to the very light pole where this suicide bombers picture is up, as a HERO TO THE [so-called] Palestinians.
James, I was on the scene of this bombing before they had cleaned all the body parts off the bus, although all the dead and injured had been removed before our arrival.
Fourth Truth:
31 Oct. The US president's counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan said the fatal UPS mail cargo flight crash over Dubai on September 2 is to be re-examined to find out if it was not caused by an explosive package collected from Yemen.
He disclosed this in an interview to CNN Sunday, Oct. 31. Mid East sources report that if this is what happened, US intelligence missed picking up on al Qaeda's air package plot for two months.
He was referring to the incident in which pilots of a UPS Boeing 747 signaled the Dubai control tower after takeoff that they were turning back because of a fire in the freight department.
Their last message was that the cockpit was full of smoke and they were losing control. Moments later, the plane came down.
Fifth Truth:
01 Nov. Hizballah last Thursday, Oct. 28, conducted a command exercise in all parts of Lebanon to test its armed militia's readiness for what its leaders called "zero hour" i.e. asserting its grip on Lebanon and "cornering" Prime Minister Saad Hariri.
Sources report: It led up to Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah's saber-rattling speech that night, which was seen in Beirut as a declaration of war on the Hariri government and the prologue to heating up the border with Israel.
The exercise was seen by military observers as practice for the action planned for the hours leading up to the Special Lebanese Tribunal's issuance of indictments against Hizballah leaders for complicity in the assassination of Lebanese ex-prime minister Rafiq Hariri five years ago.
The "zero hour" exercise demonstrated, according to Hizballah sources, "the quick implementation on the ground" of the necessary deployment. They claimed that in "less than two hours" they were able to "maintain a security and military grip of large areas of Lebanon."
James, in June the aides to the UN from the IDF briefed me in Northern Israel right across from Bint Jbail, Lebanon. In underground bunkers at Bint Jbail, James, Hizballah has stored 40,000 plus "missiles" which are capable of hitting Israel with great accuracy all over the country.
James, let me hit you with a "What If" question? What if Oklahoma’s neighbors to the South had 40,000 plus missiles stockpiled somewhere in Bunkers just south of the Red River ready to hit us as a consequence of this coming Saturday’s Oklahoma State-Texas Ball game, or the ABC covered Nov. 13th Game between the Sooners and the Red Raiders?
What if, James, both Oklahoma and Oklahoma State won, and those wild-eyed Texas fanatics started shooting missiles at we poor dumb Okies?
Sixth Truth:
02 Nov.
The Iraqi capital was rocked late Tuesday, Nov. 2 by the most ferocious assault al Qaeda has ever carried out on a capital city.
By evening, it had spread to Baghdad's environs after the death toll had climbed past 120 with more than 300 injured from 19 bomb car explosions in a dozen Shiite suburbs. Clearly visible in each was a pair of suicides detonating their explosives.
Scores of roadside and sticky bombs were activated against cars at main intersections and smashed into army, police and emergency teams racing to the scenes of disaster.
The rattle of heavy automatic gunfire accompanied the sounds of explosions. Huge fires broke out amid the violence.
Iraqi army commanders admitted the city had veered out of control and voiced fear that it was just the beginning of a broader al Qaeda onslaught which had already begun spreading.
Interim Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki turned down police request to impose a curfew on the city until control was restored.
James, that is a very serious situation for Nouri al-Maliki to have to face — THE MOST FEROCIOUS ASSAULT al QAEDA HAS "EVER" [JAMES] CARRIED OUT ON A CAPITAL CITY, the report is?
7th Truth:
02 Nov. In his farewell briefing to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee, Tuesday, Nov. 2, departing Israel Military Intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Amos Yadlin listed the threats to Israel as headed by Iran.
But he warned that Syria is buying advanced Russian self-propelled air defense missiles with long-range optical and targeting ranges that would encumber the Israeli Air Force warplanes' freedom of action in an emergency.
Iran, he said, would soon have enough fissile material to build one or two nuclear bombs.
Syria while snapping up every advanced piece of war hardware coming off Russian production lines continues to arm the Lebanese Hizballah.
Although Iran's Lebanese surrogate can now hit Tel Aviv with its rockets, its leaders are afraid of the price that would pay and have not forgotten the lessons of the Second Lebanon War of 2006.
The IDF unveiled new logistical and technological improvements.
Mobilizing reserves now takes an hour and a half instead of a day and a half, solar energy will replaced electricity, helmets and flak vests are lighter, food rations tastier and individual soldiers will be fitted with orthopedic boots.
8th Truth:
03 Nov.
The sharp differences between Israel and Britain came to the fore Wednesday, Nov. 3, during William Hague's first visit to Israel as Foreign Secretary.
He was informed that Israel had halted the strategic dialogue with the UK in protest against the failure of successive British governments to repeal a law allowing its leaders to be arrested for war crimes on arrival in Britain.
Since 2005, pro-Palestinian activists have used the concept of "universal jurisdiction" to threaten Israeli leaders with arrest for alleged war crimes.
Several serving and former Israeli leaders have cancelled trips to Britain after being warned they could be arrested.
The latest was Deputy Prime Minister Dan Meridor, who called off his trip to Britain last month to avoid prosecution.
Israel was put out by the undiplomatic, overbearing way in which Hague managed his visit, summoning Israel's intelligence chiefs to the UK ambassador's residence to brief him on the Iranian nuclear issue and omitting courtesy calls on government ministers.
The visitor hit back at the cold shoulder showed him in Jerusalem by meeting and praising three groups leading the Palestinian anti-Israel protest movement.
The UK foreign secretary told them that popular resistance against Israel was justified.
James, these are just some of the "truths" which are of concern to the 5th District Congressional citizen voters of Oklahoma, and, as our duly elected Congressman, we believe these truths ought be of concern to yourself.
Would you be so kind as to reply to some of these issues, and apprise us of the stand you will be taking on them, plus, also, the CAIR lawsuit against our 70-30 passed "anti Sharia, anti-International law" State Question?

Second Letter to Congress Elect James Lankford 5th District of OK
November 5, 2010
Dear Oklahoma 5th District Congressional-Elect James Lankford:
From my Motel Room in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Congressman, I write concerning "your buddies" of CAIR, [Council American Islamic Relations,] which I call, simply, the "Council for Furtherance Islamic Hegemony USA!" I am here preaching for the good people of Dr. Cecil Ballard's church in Marion, Iowa.
Let me quote for you Congressman, the article that Associated Press filed today:
CAIR Sues Oklahoma Over Sharia Law Ban
[James, I really like this next part!] From an outraged (at Oklahoma, of course) Associated Press:
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An Oklahoma Muslim filed a federal lawsuit on Thursday to block a state constitutional amendment overwhelmingly approved by voters that would prohibit state courts from considering international law or Islamic law when deciding cases.
The measure, which got 70 percent of the vote in Tuesday’s election, was one of several on Oklahoma’s ballot that critics said pandered to conservatives and would move the state further to the right.
With 70% of the vote, it sounds like he ‘pandered’ to the voters. Which is the way our system is supposed to work.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Oklahoma City, seeks a temporary retraining order and injunction to block the election results from being certified by the state Election Board on Nov. 9. Among other things, the lawsuit alleges the ballot measure transforms Oklahoma’
s Constitution into "an enduring condemnation" of Islam by singling it out for special restrictions by barring Islamic law, also known as Sharia law.
In case that there was still any doubt in anyone’s mind that Islam equals ‘Sharia law.’ Or, for that matter, that Islam is anything other than an attempt to impose a system of governance upon the world.
"We have a handful of politicians who have pushed an amendment onto our state ballot and then conducted a well-planned and well-funded campaign of misinformation and fear," said Muneer Awad, who filed the suit and is executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Oklahoma.
What projection. What else is CAIR but a handful of well-funded stooges who push a campaign of misinformation and fear?
"We have certain unalienable rights, and those rights cannot be taken away from me by a political campaign."
About 20,000 and 30,000 Muslims live in Oklahoma, Awad estimated.
Really? We have an unalienable right to make up our own system of laws? Who knew?
Somebody should contact Joseph Smith or any of his ex-wives.
Legal experts have also questioned the measure.
Joseph Thai, a professor at the University of Oklahoma’s College of Law, said the ballot measure is "an answer in search of a problem." He said he knows of no other state that has approved similar measures.
"There is no plausible danger of international law or Sharia law overtaking the legal system," Thai said in an e-mail to The Associated Press…
Really? Someone should tell that to the UK, where Sharia courts are popping up like mushrooms. Someone should tell that to Canada.
Thai said the ballot measure "raises thorny church-state problems as well" and could even affect a state judge’s ability to consider the Ten Commandments. "The Ten Commandments, of course, is international law. It did not originate in Oklahoma or the United States," Thai said…
Mr. Thai is an idiot.
It’s [sic] author, Rep. Rex Duncan, R-Sand Springs, said it was not intended to attack Muslims but to prevent activist judges from relying on international law or Islamic law when ruling on legal cases.
"The threat posed by activist judges is clear," Duncan said. "It shouldn’t matter what the law in France or any other European country is." …
In France, for instance, husband’s have escaped punishment for beating their wives by citing their adherence to Islam’s Sharia law.
The questions are the product of a Republican-controlled Legislature, which circumvented Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry — a Democrat — to take them to the ballot. Critics say Republicans were trying to beef up voter turnout among certain conservative groups by appealing to biases on immigration, Islam and the reach of Washington in a state where President Barack Obama failed to win a single county in 2008
… Oh, those Machiavellian Republicans. By the way, remember how the press chided the Democrats for putting pot legalization on the ballot in California and elsewhere to turn out their brain dead constituents?
We don’t either.
Then, Congressman, I received an article from a Jewish friend of mine in Israel [Quote]:
"Despite all our help, Muslims still hate us." Here’s why.
By Kathy Shaidle - November 3, 2010 - NewsReal Blog -
http://www.newsrealblog.com
http://www.newsrealblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/coexist1.jpg
Im not sure how I got along before I discovered Investor’s Business Daily.
All I know is, sometime after 9/11, I started reading IBD and encountered, in their op-ed pages, a robust, refreshing alternative to the wimpy
"on the one hand, on the other hand" drivel that passes for editorial comment in most legacy newspapers.
IBD has outdone itself with a new editorial slamming the twee concept of "interfaith dialogue" and "understanding":
On October 29, the editors at IBD wrote:
A new international poll shows the folly of Washington’s strategy of winning Muslim "hearts and minds."
Despite all our help, Muslims still hate us. (…) Even so-called moderate leaders are against us. "Yes, Muslims are against the West," responded Adnan Abu Odeh, 73, former political adviser to Jordan’s King Hussein. "Why? Western foreign policies, especially on two issues: the Palestinian issue and now Iraq.
"These are the issues people talk about day and night. And which the news focuses on day and night. And they come to the eyes and ears of the Muslims who have been surveyed, daily in the bloodiest way — it’s killing, women screaming and yelling, and soldiers frowning. So what they hate is American foreign policy."
Now, far be it from me to mock the sinister international menace known as "Soldier Frown," which sounds like it should be right up there with "Restless Leg Syndrome."
But let's always remember: Islam has been at war with the West long before 9/11 or the establishment of the state of Israel. Alas, the Muslim predilection for absurd conspiracy theories (which are altered on the fly as current events demand) is abundantly and embarrassingly evident in the Pew study that inspired the IBD editorial.
(In fact, I've finally solved the puzzle that has confounded so many since September 11, to whit: "Why is the Left allying itself with its supposed ideological opposite number, namely radical Islam?")
(The answer lies in a famous quotation of Ronald Reagans; merely substitute the word "Muslims" for "liberals" and magically, all is revealed: "Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn’t so.")
Alas, the Pew results will simply inspire the elites to call for still even more "interfaith dialogue," "bridge-building" and "Muslim outreach."
My fellow Canadian blogger, Scaramouche, has a phrase for these impotent, feel-good make-work projects: "Project Samosa." Progressive Jews and Christians share tasty, exotic ethnic food with professional Muslims, and come away thinking their unctuous hosts are as interested in "dialogue" as they are.
Wrong. Quite simply: dialogue, education and compromise are Western notions, not Muslim ones.
This is especially obvious when you watch
semi-Westernized Muslims try to act out these foreign concepts during controversies; they can only last about 10 minutes before the mask drops.
Islam is the only religion that teaches that lying is a virtue.
What good is "dialogue" with stubborn, delusional, uneducated, compulsive liars?
The answer is: it makes the "dialog-ees" — the progressive Jews and Christians — feel both worldly and virtuous, which is a rare combination and therefore an intoxicating feeling. Frankly, I’m surprised they haven’t come up with a new colored ribbon for "interfaith dialogue." Give it time.
Like all addicts, progressives will keep on chasing the "dialogue" dragon, to relive that exciting yet ultimately empty sensation.
And we pay the price for their delusions, in terms of our sovereignty and security.
By the way: Muslims hate us because we are helping them. Needing help implies weakness and inferiority. In an honor-based culture like Islam, accepting help from outsiders, particularly infidels, is humiliating.
As an ancient saying from yet another culture has it: "Save a man’s life — and he’ll never forgive you."
[Unquote!]
James, in World War II, our "forgotten ally" was the Jews of the Jewish Brigades which fought so valiantly on the side against Hitler’s Nazism, Italy’s Fascism, and Japanese Buddhism!
When the "First Brigade of the Free French," mainly composed of Foreign Legionnaires, after marching north through the Sahara from Fort Lamy on Lake Chad, was trapped by General Rommell at Bir Hacheim [see L’Epopee de Bir Hakim, by Jean-Pierre Besnard, Les Oeuvres Nouvelles, Editions de la Maison Francais] in Libya in June, 1942, and there, clamping itself to the bare rocky soil, performed the miracle of another Verdun by holding the line for Montgomery for a whole month during the most critical stage of the battle of Libya, repelling daily mass assaults by tanks and undergoing almost hourly bombardment by huge flocks of Nazi Stuka Dive Bombers, a "Company of Jewish Engineers" belonging to the King’s West Africa Rifles went through the same experience at Mechili, fifty miles to the east.
The Jewish military epic is related in the communiques of General Koenig, the Commanding General of the Free French. The Jewish company was spotted by German scout planes as they were laying down a mine field which was to be a bar to attempts by Rommel to turn the flank of the Eighth Army as it stood with its back at Alamein.
The Nazi Observers caught sight of the Jewish Engineers working in the open desert, swooped down to strafe them, and then flew off. That was June 1, 1942.
For the next two days the whole plain around Mechili was blotted out in a whirling, yellow sandstorm which made the working party invisible from Airplanes.
The Jews could hear Messerschmitts and Junkers roaring above the clouds of dust and apparently looking for them.
However, visibility on the ground, for these 2 days, was down to absolute zero.
Mechili is a stretch of flint-strewn sand with lava outcroppings, bordered on the east by the first undulating sand dunes of the Sahara. It is not an oasis, as some had made it out to be-far from that! Here and there one finds a clump of burnt shrubbery, the color of ocher, but no treees, and no shade, nothing but scorched desolation—sand and rocks.
There was a well there, however, at which "travelers" would stop for the night, which was made famous by the 1934 scientific expedition of Professor Charles Perrault who was investigating the causes of the unexplained phenomenon of the [then] sinking of the level of Lade Chad.
The Jewish Engineer Company’s task was to lay down a mine field in the shape of a quadrangle on a surface four miles by three. On the borders of that mine field, the mines were placed 6 feet apart; farther inside, they were more widely spaced.
Those mines were the size of a soup plate and consisted of a metal box filled with an explosive. They were placed in a hole, and then covered up, so that, in a few days time the sand levels the earth and no visible trace of the minefield was left. Such mines were designed to halt trucks weighing over 500 lbs, tanks, and artillery. They would not explode, James, when a man walked over them.
As soon, James, as the sand-storm subsided, 60 heavy Nazi bombers paid them a visit and blew up half of their trucks. When the Stukas returned the following morning, and twice more in the course of the afternoon of June 4, the officer in charge of the mine-laying operation, Major Felix Liebman, a citizen of Tel Aviv, heliographed the nearest British post asking for some antiaircraft guns.
The answer, James, came immediately back that 10 antiaircraft guns would be sent, also "immediately," plus some antitank guns, and that the Jews must be prepared to face a land assault at any moment. British Scout Planes had observed a column of Nazi tanks moving in the direction of Mechili.
With tha message came word that the Commander in Chief himself, General Sir Bernard Montgomery, ordered them to continue laying the mine-field, and to "hold the field" at all costs. The very fact that the Nazis were paying so much attention to Mechili showed the importance they attached to the place.
Reinforcements, too, were promised. But, James, reinforcements, nor the guns, never showed! Now, a word here, hopefully edifying you James, is that CAIR knows the importance of the "non-Sharia, non-international-law" state question passed in Oklahoma Tuesday.
Lets re-vist Mechili, however James, and we find the Jewish Engineers surrounded on three sides by a ring of enemy tanks, both German and Italian, and the Engineering Garrison was "cut off" from all contact with the outside world.
Before attacking, as was Nazi custom, the German Brigadier sent a tank with "a white flag" attached, and the message to hoist the signal to surrender. That happened on the morning of Jue 10. Major Liebman said to the German Officer who brought the message: "We have no white flag. All we have is this banner. This we are going to fly. It’s the blue flag of Zion!"
"Sie sind Jude" [You are a Jew], said the German in surprise, clicked his heels, saluted, and walked off.
Six hours later, James, the tanks came rumbling towards the position, 60 in one column, and then 2 columns of 25 in each, or a total of 110 tanks. A flock of Stuka Dive Bombers appeared simultaneously, but were forced to drop its bombs prematurely when it was attacked by British Kittyhawk fighter planes.
But, James, the tanks rumbled on. The Jews held their fire until the first metal monster reached their barbed wire stakes. Then, they let go. Two tanks were disabled by mines. 19 others were hit by Jewish antitank fire. One Jewish Sergeant, James, accounted for 7 of the Nazi tanks. OUR FORGOTTEN ALLIES, James!
Meeting with so much unexpected resistance, the main tank column, which belonged to the Italian Ariete Division, halted, signaled to the others, and started to withdraw. This was the moment for which Major Liebman had prepared. 60 of his men who had been hidden in dugouts near the extremities of the mine field rushed out when the Italians turned tail and bombarded the retreating tanks in their vulnerable rear with hand grenades, bottles filled with gasoline, and tommy guns.
Some of the Jews, James, jumped on the backs of the retreating tanks, and fired their weapons through the lookout slits and gun hole. In this way 5 more enemy tanks were accounted for. As the last Italian caterpillar moved off, British fliers swooped low over the mine field and waved their hands at the Jews.
Then, James, starting the next day, and for 7 days, the Germans subjected Mechili to a merciless aerial bombardment, twice daily. They had decided to reduce the position by air assault, wiping out the little garrison and thereby clearing a path for their tanks around the leftmost extremities of Montgomery’s flank.
So, James, for seven straight days the bombs rained down, turning the Jewish mine field into a wailing hell of steel in which it did not seem possible for human nerves or human life itself to endure. On quadron of Stukas had not passed over and dumped its ghastly load before the next one winged into sight. They dive-bombed the trucks, the dugouts, the gun crews. They churned and plowed up the mine field, filling it with craters two stories deep until Mechili was an inferno of boiling red-hot, iron missiles in an inferno of blistering desert heat.
But, James, blessed be the LORD GOD OF THE HEBREWS, and to "blankety-blank" with your "Ishmaelite Throat Slitters" false god "allah," —STILL THE JEWS HELD OUT, OUR FORGOTTEN ALLIES!
On June 20, James, the Nazi tanks returned "en masse." Upon their approach, the weary, hungry, thirsty defenders clambered out of their foxholes and manned the guns they had. Again they repelled the assault of the Ariete Divsion while an aerial battle went on above their heads, and British fighters drove off the Stukas come to administer the coup de grace to the Jewish garrison.
But, James, at the end of that fateful day, although 41 smoking tanks testified to the deadly accuracy of the Jewish gunners, only 90 men were left out of Major Liebman’s original 500.
Ten more days passed James. Each day the Italians renewed the attack, raking the mine field with a murderous fire, getting nearer and nearer to the central position with each onslaught. Then, the water well was hit and stove in by a well-place Stuka bomb, and the "agony commenced." Have you ever been, "really thirsty," James?
From that day on, the men were reduced to a daily pint of water from the tin cans dropped by the R.A.F.
Major Liebman had banded his men closely together around the deep, central dugout. Here, he decided, they were GOING TO MAKE THEIR LAST STAND! OUR FORGOTTEN ALLIES JAMES?
Outside their perimeter lay the bodies of their comrades which the Stukas would not leave buried, but plowed up and sent up in the air, a ghastly, maddening dance of rotting flesh and bones.
Two men went out of their minds on June 25, two more on June 26. Three men rushed off shrieking into the desert. And yet, the bombardment continued.
With the continued dust clouds, the summer heat also mounted every day and the scorching wind blew up further dust, making the men’s thirst to grow unbearable. Some drank gasoline James, and perished.
45 [of the original 500] were left James, on July 1st. They were only a handful of unrecognizable scarecrows, scarcely human in appearance, unkempt, haggard, covered with grime, emaciated, some stark naked, having had their clothes blown off them by the concussions of 500 lb bombs exploding nearby!
On July 2nd, 1942, James, our "Forgotten Allies" faced their last assault at six in the morning, losing two more men, and yet putting the Italian tanks to flight once more.
At 10:00 AM that day, James, the lookout man, who could scarcely speak, his tongue cleaving to the roof of his parched mouth, warned Major Liebman that a column of trucks was approaching, led by an automobile bearing the "tricolor of France."
The Jewish Commanded, James, Major Liebman, although wounded in the head and in the groin, staggered to his feet, and waved the answering signal.
The French Legionnaires approached. They were the remnant, James, of the Free French from Bir Hacheim, who had received orders from General Montgomery to withdraw the night before. The Jews stumbled into the open, looking like so many tortured ghosts. General Koenig of the Free French walked up to Major Liebman and embraced him. "Vous avez tenu bon, jusqu’au bout," [You held out till the end,] he said.
Then, James, tears choked the Frenchman’s voice. The Jews were given water and the Major informed them that they were to accompany the French column.
A Jewish soldier took down the blue and white flag of Zion, which, James, we fly in the Auditorium of Windsor Hills Baptist Church, which I had the privilege of pastoring for 30 years, and was about to place that flag in its holder, when General Koenig saw him and asked a question.
"We are not permitted to fly that flag," explained Major Liebman. "It is against regulations..."
"Pardon," said General Koenig, "I am in command here. Je m’en fous pas mal des regulations, [I don’t care a d..n about regulations...That flag goes on my car in frong, next to the tricolor. That’s where it belongs. Nous sommes victorieux, tous les deux, [We have both come through victoriously!"
And, turning to his men, the French officer shouted: "Legionnaires! Le drapeau juif! Salut! [Leginnaires, the Jewish flag! Salute..."
Now, Congressman Lankford, we forgot our Allies back yonder in the Second World War! We identified our enemies, and with them, we fought our enemies together.
The "Council for Furtherance Islamic Hegemony USA" has declared themselves as an enemy of the people of Oklahoma with this "hegemony" lawsuit! You cannot see that is what they are doing in Londonstan and Paristan and Brussellstan!
I am an "adopted Okie!" I was adopted into the family of Jehovah God back on Sep. 17th, 1964, in a Motel Room in Moline, Illinois.
I am not going to forget that it was "not Baptists" who flew those four planes into the WTC, the Pentagon, and a Pa. Field back on 9/11/01, but the same "religionists" whom Okies voted that their Qur’an, their Mohammed, and their [false god] "allah" would not be followed in the Courts of Oklahoma, nor in any other fashion.
The Battle Lines are drawn Congressman! Whom are your ALLIES?

Dear Oklahoma 5th District Congressional-Elect James Lankford:
From my Motel Room in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Congressman, I write concerning "your buddies" of CAIR, [Council American Islamic Relations,] which I call, simply, the "Council for Furtherance Islamic Hegemony USA!" I am here preaching for the good people of Dr. Cecil Ballard's church in Marion, Iowa.
Let me quote for you Congressman, the article that Associated Press filed today:
CAIR Sues Oklahoma Over Sharia Law Ban
[James, I really like this next part!] From an outraged (at Oklahoma, of course) Associated Press:
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An Oklahoma Muslim filed a federal lawsuit on Thursday to block a state constitutional amendment overwhelmingly approved by voters that would prohibit state courts from considering international law or Islamic law when deciding cases.
The measure, which got 70 percent of the vote in Tuesday’s election, was one of several on Oklahoma’s ballot that critics said pandered to conservatives and would move the state further to the right.
With 70% of the vote, it sounds like he ‘pandered’ to the voters. Which is the way our system is supposed to work.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Oklahoma City, seeks a temporary retraining order and injunction to block the election results from being certified by the state Election Board on Nov. 9. Among other things, the lawsuit alleges the ballot measure transforms Oklahoma’
s Constitution into "an enduring condemnation" of Islam by singling it out for special restrictions by barring Islamic law, also known as Sharia law.
In case that there was still any doubt in anyone’s mind that Islam equals ‘Sharia law.’ Or, for that matter, that Islam is anything other than an attempt to impose a system of governance upon the world.
"We have a handful of politicians who have pushed an amendment onto our state ballot and then conducted a well-planned and well-funded campaign of misinformation and fear," said Muneer Awad, who filed the suit and is executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Oklahoma.
What projection. What else is CAIR but a handful of well-funded stooges who push a campaign of misinformation and fear?
"We have certain unalienable rights, and those rights cannot be taken away from me by a political campaign."
About 20,000 and 30,000 Muslims live in Oklahoma, Awad estimated.
Really? We have an unalienable right to make up our own system of laws? Who knew?

In France, for instance, husband’s have escaped punishment for beating their wives by citing their adherence to Islam’s Sharia law.
The questions are the product of a Republican-controlled Legislature, which circumvented Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry — a Democrat — to take them to the ballot. Critics say Republicans were trying to beef up voter turnout among certain conservative groups by appealing to biases on immigration, Islam and the reach of Washington in a state where President Barack Obama failed to win a single county in 2008
… Oh, those Machiavellian Republicans. By the way, remember how the press chided the Democrats for putting pot legalization on the ballot in California and elsewhere to turn out their brain dead constituents?
We don’t either.
Then, Congressman, I received an article from a Jewish friend of mine in Israel [Quote]:
"Despite all our help, Muslims still hate us." Here’s why.

Im not sure how I got along before I discovered Investor’s Business Daily.
All I know is, sometime after 9/11, I started reading IBD and encountered, in their op-ed pages, a robust, refreshing alternative to the wimpy
"on the one hand, on the other hand" drivel that passes for editorial comment in most legacy newspapers.
IBD has outdone itself with a new editorial slamming the twee concept of "interfaith dialogue" and "understanding":
On October 29, the editors at IBD wrote:
A new international poll shows the folly of Washington’s strategy of winning Muslim "hearts and minds."
Despite all our help, Muslims still hate us. (…) Even so-called moderate leaders are against us. "Yes, Muslims are against the West," responded Adnan Abu Odeh, 73, former political adviser to Jordan’s King Hussein. "Why? Western foreign policies, especially on two issues: the Palestinian issue and now Iraq.
"These are the issues people talk about day and night. And which the news focuses on day and night. And they come to the eyes and ears of the Muslims who have been surveyed, daily in the bloodiest way — it’s killing, women screaming and yelling, and soldiers frowning. So what they hate is American foreign policy."
Now, far be it from me to mock the sinister international menace known as "Soldier Frown," which sounds like it should be right up there with "Restless Leg Syndrome."
But let's always remember: Islam has been at war with the West long before 9/11 or the establishment of the state of Israel. Alas, the Muslim predilection for absurd conspiracy theories (which are altered on the fly as current events demand) is abundantly and embarrassingly evident in the Pew study that inspired the IBD editorial.
(In fact, I've finally solved the puzzle that has confounded so many since September 11, to whit: "Why is the Left allying itself with its supposed ideological opposite number, namely radical Islam?")
(The answer lies in a famous quotation of Ronald Reagans; merely substitute the word "Muslims" for "liberals" and magically, all is revealed: "Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn’t so.")
Alas, the Pew results will simply inspire the elites to call for still even more "interfaith dialogue," "bridge-building" and "Muslim outreach."
My fellow Canadian blogger, Scaramouche, has a phrase for these impotent, feel-good make-work projects: "Project Samosa." Progressive Jews and Christians share tasty, exotic ethnic food with professional Muslims, and come away thinking their unctuous hosts are as interested in "dialogue" as they are.
Wrong. Quite simply: dialogue, education and compromise are Western notions, not Muslim ones.
This is especially obvious when you watch
semi-Westernized Muslims try to act out these foreign concepts during controversies; they can only last about 10 minutes before the mask drops.
Islam is the only religion that teaches that lying is a virtue.
What good is "dialogue" with stubborn, delusional, uneducated, compulsive liars?
The answer is: it makes the "dialog-ees" — the progressive Jews and Christians — feel both worldly and virtuous, which is a rare combination and therefore an intoxicating feeling. Frankly, I’m surprised they haven’t come up with a new colored ribbon for "interfaith dialogue." Give it time.
Like all addicts, progressives will keep on chasing the "dialogue" dragon, to relive that exciting yet ultimately empty sensation.
And we pay the price for their delusions, in terms of our sovereignty and security.
By the way: Muslims hate us because we are helping them. Needing help implies weakness and inferiority. In an honor-based culture like Islam, accepting help from outsiders, particularly infidels, is humiliating.
As an ancient saying from yet another culture has it: "Save a man’s life — and he’ll never forgive you."
[Unquote!]
James, in World War II, our "forgotten ally" was the Jews of the Jewish Brigades which fought so valiantly on the side against Hitler’s Nazism, Italy’s Fascism, and Japanese Buddhism!
When the "First Brigade of the Free French," mainly composed of Foreign Legionnaires, after marching north through the Sahara from Fort Lamy on Lake Chad, was trapped by General Rommell at Bir Hacheim [see L’Epopee de Bir Hakim, by Jean-Pierre Besnard, Les Oeuvres Nouvelles, Editions de la Maison Francais] in Libya in June, 1942, and there, clamping itself to the bare rocky soil, performed the miracle of another Verdun by holding the line for Montgomery for a whole month during the most critical stage of the battle of Libya, repelling daily mass assaults by tanks and undergoing almost hourly bombardment by huge flocks of Nazi Stuka Dive Bombers, a "Company of Jewish Engineers" belonging to the King’s West Africa Rifles went through the same experience at Mechili, fifty miles to the east.
The Jewish military epic is related in the communiques of General Koenig, the Commanding General of the Free French. The Jewish company was spotted by German scout planes as they were laying down a mine field which was to be a bar to attempts by Rommel to turn the flank of the Eighth Army as it stood with its back at Alamein.
The Nazi Observers caught sight of the Jewish Engineers working in the open desert, swooped down to strafe them, and then flew off. That was June 1, 1942.
For the next two days the whole plain around Mechili was blotted out in a whirling, yellow sandstorm which made the working party invisible from Airplanes.
The Jews could hear Messerschmitts and Junkers roaring above the clouds of dust and apparently looking for them.
However, visibility on the ground, for these 2 days, was down to absolute zero.
Mechili is a stretch of flint-strewn sand with lava outcroppings, bordered on the east by the first undulating sand dunes of the Sahara. It is not an oasis, as some had made it out to be-far from that! Here and there one finds a clump of burnt shrubbery, the color of ocher, but no treees, and no shade, nothing but scorched desolation—sand and rocks.
There was a well there, however, at which "travelers" would stop for the night, which was made famous by the 1934 scientific expedition of Professor Charles Perrault who was investigating the causes of the unexplained phenomenon of the [then] sinking of the level of Lade Chad.
The Jewish Engineer Company’s task was to lay down a mine field in the shape of a quadrangle on a surface four miles by three. On the borders of that mine field, the mines were placed 6 feet apart; farther inside, they were more widely spaced.
Those mines were the size of a soup plate and consisted of a metal box filled with an explosive. They were placed in a hole, and then covered up, so that, in a few days time the sand levels the earth and no visible trace of the minefield was left. Such mines were designed to halt trucks weighing over 500 lbs, tanks, and artillery. They would not explode, James, when a man walked over them.
As soon, James, as the sand-storm subsided, 60 heavy Nazi bombers paid them a visit and blew up half of their trucks. When the Stukas returned the following morning, and twice more in the course of the afternoon of June 4, the officer in charge of the mine-laying operation, Major Felix Liebman, a citizen of Tel Aviv, heliographed the nearest British post asking for some antiaircraft guns.
The answer, James, came immediately back that 10 antiaircraft guns would be sent, also "immediately," plus some antitank guns, and that the Jews must be prepared to face a land assault at any moment. British Scout Planes had observed a column of Nazi tanks moving in the direction of Mechili.
With tha message came word that the Commander in Chief himself, General Sir Bernard Montgomery, ordered them to continue laying the mine-field, and to "hold the field" at all costs. The very fact that the Nazis were paying so much attention to Mechili showed the importance they attached to the place.
Reinforcements, too, were promised. But, James, reinforcements, nor the guns, never showed! Now, a word here, hopefully edifying you James, is that CAIR knows the importance of the "non-Sharia, non-international-law" state question passed in Oklahoma Tuesday.
Lets re-vist Mechili, however James, and we find the Jewish Engineers surrounded on three sides by a ring of enemy tanks, both German and Italian, and the Engineering Garrison was "cut off" from all contact with the outside world.
Before attacking, as was Nazi custom, the German Brigadier sent a tank with "a white flag" attached, and the message to hoist the signal to surrender. That happened on the morning of Jue 10. Major Liebman said to the German Officer who brought the message: "We have no white flag. All we have is this banner. This we are going to fly. It’s the blue flag of Zion!"
"Sie sind Jude" [You are a Jew], said the German in surprise, clicked his heels, saluted, and walked off.
Six hours later, James, the tanks came rumbling towards the position, 60 in one column, and then 2 columns of 25 in each, or a total of 110 tanks. A flock of Stuka Dive Bombers appeared simultaneously, but were forced to drop its bombs prematurely when it was attacked by British Kittyhawk fighter planes.
But, James, the tanks rumbled on. The Jews held their fire until the first metal monster reached their barbed wire stakes. Then, they let go. Two tanks were disabled by mines. 19 others were hit by Jewish antitank fire. One Jewish Sergeant, James, accounted for 7 of the Nazi tanks. OUR FORGOTTEN ALLIES, James!
Meeting with so much unexpected resistance, the main tank column, which belonged to the Italian Ariete Division, halted, signaled to the others, and started to withdraw. This was the moment for which Major Liebman had prepared. 60 of his men who had been hidden in dugouts near the extremities of the mine field rushed out when the Italians turned tail and bombarded the retreating tanks in their vulnerable rear with hand grenades, bottles filled with gasoline, and tommy guns.
Some of the Jews, James, jumped on the backs of the retreating tanks, and fired their weapons through the lookout slits and gun hole. In this way 5 more enemy tanks were accounted for. As the last Italian caterpillar moved off, British fliers swooped low over the mine field and waved their hands at the Jews.
Then, James, starting the next day, and for 7 days, the Germans subjected Mechili to a merciless aerial bombardment, twice daily. They had decided to reduce the position by air assault, wiping out the little garrison and thereby clearing a path for their tanks around the leftmost extremities of Montgomery’s flank.
So, James, for seven straight days the bombs rained down, turning the Jewish mine field into a wailing hell of steel in which it did not seem possible for human nerves or human life itself to endure. On quadron of Stukas had not passed over and dumped its ghastly load before the next one winged into sight. They dive-bombed the trucks, the dugouts, the gun crews. They churned and plowed up the mine field, filling it with craters two stories deep until Mechili was an inferno of boiling red-hot, iron missiles in an inferno of blistering desert heat.
But, James, blessed be the LORD GOD OF THE HEBREWS, and to "blankety-blank" with your "Ishmaelite Throat Slitters" false god "allah," —STILL THE JEWS HELD OUT, OUR FORGOTTEN ALLIES!
On June 20, James, the Nazi tanks returned "en masse." Upon their approach, the weary, hungry, thirsty defenders clambered out of their foxholes and manned the guns they had. Again they repelled the assault of the Ariete Divsion while an aerial battle went on above their heads, and British fighters drove off the Stukas come to administer the coup de grace to the Jewish garrison.
But, James, at the end of that fateful day, although 41 smoking tanks testified to the deadly accuracy of the Jewish gunners, only 90 men were left out of Major Liebman’s original 500.
Ten more days passed James. Each day the Italians renewed the attack, raking the mine field with a murderous fire, getting nearer and nearer to the central position with each onslaught. Then, the water well was hit and stove in by a well-place Stuka bomb, and the "agony commenced." Have you ever been, "really thirsty," James?
From that day on, the men were reduced to a daily pint of water from the tin cans dropped by the R.A.F.
Major Liebman had banded his men closely together around the deep, central dugout. Here, he decided, they were GOING TO MAKE THEIR LAST STAND! OUR FORGOTTEN ALLIES JAMES?
Outside their perimeter lay the bodies of their comrades which the Stukas would not leave buried, but plowed up and sent up in the air, a ghastly, maddening dance of rotting flesh and bones.
Two men went out of their minds on June 25, two more on June 26. Three men rushed off shrieking into the desert. And yet, the bombardment continued.
With the continued dust clouds, the summer heat also mounted every day and the scorching wind blew up further dust, making the men’s thirst to grow unbearable. Some drank gasoline James, and perished.
45 [of the original 500] were left James, on July 1st. They were only a handful of unrecognizable scarecrows, scarcely human in appearance, unkempt, haggard, covered with grime, emaciated, some stark naked, having had their clothes blown off them by the concussions of 500 lb bombs exploding nearby!
On July 2nd, 1942, James, our "Forgotten Allies" faced their last assault at six in the morning, losing two more men, and yet putting the Italian tanks to flight once more.
At 10:00 AM that day, James, the lookout man, who could scarcely speak, his tongue cleaving to the roof of his parched mouth, warned Major Liebman that a column of trucks was approaching, led by an automobile bearing the "tricolor of France."
The Jewish Commanded, James, Major Liebman, although wounded in the head and in the groin, staggered to his feet, and waved the answering signal.
The French Legionnaires approached. They were the remnant, James, of the Free French from Bir Hacheim, who had received orders from General Montgomery to withdraw the night before. The Jews stumbled into the open, looking like so many tortured ghosts. General Koenig of the Free French walked up to Major Liebman and embraced him. "Vous avez tenu bon, jusqu’au bout," [You held out till the end,] he said.
Then, James, tears choked the Frenchman’s voice. The Jews were given water and the Major informed them that they were to accompany the French column.
A Jewish soldier took down the blue and white flag of Zion, which, James, we fly in the Auditorium of Windsor Hills Baptist Church, which I had the privilege of pastoring for 30 years, and was about to place that flag in its holder, when General Koenig saw him and asked a question.
"We are not permitted to fly that flag," explained Major Liebman. "It is against regulations..."
"Pardon," said General Koenig, "I am in command here. Je m’en fous pas mal des regulations, [I don’t care a d..n about regulations...That flag goes on my car in frong, next to the tricolor. That’s where it belongs. Nous sommes victorieux, tous les deux, [We have both come through victoriously!"
And, turning to his men, the French officer shouted: "Legionnaires! Le drapeau juif! Salut! [Leginnaires, the Jewish flag! Salute..."
Now, Congressman Lankford, we forgot our Allies back yonder in the Second World War! We identified our enemies, and with them, we fought our enemies together.
The "Council for Furtherance Islamic Hegemony USA" has declared themselves as an enemy of the people of Oklahoma with this "hegemony" lawsuit! You cannot see that is what they are doing in Londonstan and Paristan and Brussellstan!
I am an "adopted Okie!" I was adopted into the family of Jehovah God back on Sep. 17th, 1964, in a Motel Room in Moline, Illinois.
I am not going to forget that it was "not Baptists" who flew those four planes into the WTC, the Pentagon, and a Pa. Field back on 9/11/01, but the same "religionists" whom Okies voted that their Qur’an, their Mohammed, and their [false god] "allah" would not be followed in the Courts of Oklahoma, nor in any other fashion.
The Battle Lines are drawn Congressman! Whom are your ALLIES?

Letter to Congress Elect James Lankford 5th District State of OK
November 4, 2010
Congress Elect James Lankford
5th Congressional District
State of Oklahoma
Dear James:
Let me congratulate you on your win this past Tuesday. As I had said at the "High Noon Club" when questioning you Friday October 22nd, I did expect you to win the election, and assumed "as I stated" that you would be our 5th District Congressman.
James, many, many years ago, before your time on the political scene, we helped Mickie Edwards get elected, and then, when he ran afoul of the Congressional Check Book "scam" we helped Earnest Istook replace him.
My concern about you, as I stated at the High Noon Club, my friend, is your "Jimmy Carter-like" position on Islam and its terror war against America.
Jimmy Carter was probably a better Christian than I am. You are probably a better Christian than I am. But, neither he, nor you, have "the number" of the Muslims who are 7th Century Jihadist Revivalists.
Therefore, if you will allow me to, I can help you concerning your stand regarding those Ishmaelites who wish to do we in the west in.
For Instance, let me tell you this:
As Al Qaeda exploded into a fresh outburst of terror against the United States and its allies, Iran pitched in by turning loose in Afghanistan the terrorist organization's most talented and charismatic tactician.
In mid-September, Tehran opened the door to Saif Al-Adel (Sword of Justice), releasing him from house arrest in Mashhad to cross into the Taliban-al Qaeda sanctuaries of North Waziristan and start directing attacks on US forces in Afghanistan. The Iranians kept him on a firm leash.
Since late 2001 or early 2002, Al-Adel has been living in Iran under loose confinement together with a large group of Al Qaeda leaders who were granted asylum when they fled Afghanistan shortly after the US-led invasion.
President Barack Obama was alerted to the long Iranian tentacle reaching into Afghanistan by CIA director Leon Panetta shortly before Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused US intelligence of plotting the 9/11 atrocity in a ranting speech at the UN General Assembly on Sept. 23.
Panetta informed him that in Afghanistan, Saif Al-Adel would be serving under the Al Qods Brigades commander Gen. Qhassem Suleimani, whom Iran's spiritual leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had instructed to supply the super terrorist with all his logistical, military, intelligence and financial needs.
This piece of intelligence demonstrated inescapably, according to military and counterterrorism sources, that the rulers of the Islamic Republic had jumped into the Afghan fray with both feet, opening a third front against America synchronously with the subversion of US polices in Iraq and destabilization of Lebanon by another of their surrogates, Hizballah.
By re-activating Al-Adel for its ends, Tehran provided Al Qaeda's forces in Pakistan and Afghanistan with a powerful supreme commander and substantially enhanced its potential for mayhem there and further afield too in the Middle East and the Horn of Africa, to which his command also extended.
Saif Al-Adel will be striking Americans for shared Iran-Al Qaeda interests in Afghanistan!
Saif Al Adel, now 60, made his debut on the Islamist terror stage in 1981 as a member of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad hit team which assassinated Egyptian President Anwar Sadat in October of that year during a military parade in Cairo. Prominent in al Qaeda's hard core of the 1980s, he was admitted to Osama bin Laden's close circle during the 1990s, migrating with him from Pakistan to Sudan and back, the while building a reputation as its most outstanding, charismatic and talented tactician.
For twenty years, the Al Adel signature was prominent in the planning and execution of every Islamist terrorist operation, excepting only the Sept. 11 attacks in New York and Washington.
After Mohammed Atef was killed in 2001, Al Adel was deemed his natural successor as Al Qaeda's chief of staff.
His career was curtailed when a large group of high-profile Al Qaeda operatives escaped across the Afghan border to Iran ahead of American pursuit, although he had first distinguished himself in battle against them.
The next nine years he was pretty much mothballed under house arrest in a suburb of Mashhad, with the exception of one known break.
Seven years ago, Middle East counterterrorism sources report, Tehran put Saif Al Adel in charge of punishing Saudi rulers for backing the 2003 US invasion of Iraq by a devastating terror campaign to shake the throne.
He put together an operational command staff from the al Qaeda commanders sheltering in Iran and ran training courses at Iranian military facilities for Saudi network members.
For nearly two years, Al Adel orchestrated terror strikes against US and other Western targets in the oil kingdom and government institutions, practically holding Riyadh to siege.
Car bombs blew up against the Interior Ministry which housed counterterrorism headquarters and penetrated the Saudi General Intelligence compound. His rockets struck the royal palace of King Fahd Ibn Abdul Aziz, Saudi monarch at the time. There were many casualties.
It took a secret Saudi-Iranian deal to terminate the violence loose in Saudi Arabia with high benefits advanced to Tehran in terms of expanding Iranian influence through the Persian Gulf and Arab lands.
Only then, did Tehran tug the ace terrorist's leash and restore him to house arrest.
But Now, James, our head man, General Petraeus reports instant, deleterious impact of the Afghan battlefield!
Now, James, whether you see this or not, Oklahomans are on the Battle Field in Both Iraq and Afghanistan against these Ishmaelite Throat Slitters, and as our 5th District US Congressman, it is you "duty" to get yourself up-to-speed on all the issues.
For his second comeback, the Iranians have granted Al-Adel a far broader mandate. His new mission is different from his Saudi operation in two more significant respects:
One: It is the first time in nine years he was allowed to leave Iran to command a terror project - although Tehran built into his mission a guarantee of his return.
Iranian and terrorism experts explain: The Al Qaeda commander knows that if he runs into trouble he has only one safe route of escape, to Iran.
Furthermore, once he crossed the border from North Waziristan into eastern Afghanistan and took charge of the war against NATO forces, he became heavily dependent on Iranian agents in the field and supplies of Iranian weapons.
Two: Whereas the Saudi royal family was the Iranian-al Qaeda target six years ago, with the Americans in second place, their primary shared target in November 2010 is United States forces in Afghanistan.
Our Washington sources disclose that straight after Panetta briefed President Obama on the arrival of Al Qaeda's master terrorist in Afghanistan, a steady stream of reports from General David Petraeus, the NATO commander in Afghanistan, began reaching the White House and the Pentagon describing the serious setbacks Al Adel had speedily inflicted on the battlefield in the short time since he took over.
Here are some examples:
1. One of new arrival's first actions in northern Waziristan was to establish ties with Mullah Omar's operational headquarters for Afghanistan and the Taliban Shura Council based in Quetta, capital of Pakistani Baluchistan.
The immediate effect was to harden the Taliban hard-liners who had turned their faces against negotiations with the Americans and the Karzai government in Kabul.
He also got in touch with the rejectionist leader of the Haqqani network which supplies the Taliban with fighters as well as logistical support.
2. Next, Al Adel built a combined staff for Al Qaeda, Taliban and the Haqqani Network, to jointly engineer a fresh spate of terror attacks on US forces in Afghanistan.
3. In very short order, he had up and running dozens of small bases for training terrorists of all three organizations to harass US troops in compact strike teams of 5-10 men.
The bases are managed by Chechen and Uzbek members of the al Qaeda-allied IMU - Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, who act as instructors and dispatchers of the squads which plant roadside bombs and stage suicide attacks.
These dispatchers must bring the death squads as close as possible to their targets.
Now, James, Jimmy Carter was not a prophet, as you aren’t either, but, history has taught that Iran also runs direct combat missions against US from Herat!
4. The new cells, already known to US commanders as the "Al Adel networks," quickly turned the Paktika Province in the southeast and the Paktia Province in the east into springboards for Taliban strikes in and around Kabul, the capital.
The US forces fighting in the two provinces are under constant siege and bombardment.
5. In northwestern Afghanistan, Iran's Al Qods Brigades officers and the intelligence agents handling local terrorist networks have taken over the provinces of Herat, Badghis, Farah and Ghor and opened up a direct front against US and NATO forces, counterterrorism sources report.
American military and intelligence sources candidly refer to this region as "under Iranian occupation" and say Tehran's grip there "is even more unyielding than its domination of southern Iraq."
When Al Adel needs more funds or war materiel, he sends his messengers directly to this address inside Afghanistan, providing him with a valuable short cut to supplies.
The same Iranian forward headquarters in the northwest is also the venue for Al Qaeda-Al Qods command meetings for coordination.
6. Our military and intelligence sources report that Al Qods is also hard at work building a local Shiite militia of 15,000 armed men run from its Herat headquarters now that the town is an Iranian city to all intents and purposes.
This Afghan militia is modeled on the Iraqi Mahdi Army.
When it is ready to go, Iran will have an integrated mechanism for catching US forces fighting in central and southern Afghanistan in a pincer movement - Al Qods and its cohorts striking from the east and Al Adel and his Al Qaeda units closing in from the west.
While working together in smooth tandem in Afghanistan for as long as it suits them both, it always possible that Shiite Iran and Sunni Al Qaeda will fall out at some future stage and go their separate ways - or even vie against each other.
On January 16, 2010, the Yemen government announced that the commander of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, Qassam al-Rimi, was among the six men an army bombing had killed in northern Yemen.
Five months later, on May 11 of this year, the US Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism announced that the Secretary of State had designated the leaders of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) Qassam al-Rimi and Nayif al-Qahtani culpable under E.O. 13224, which targets terrorists and those providing support to terrorists or acts of terrorism.
Al-Rimi and Al-Qahtani were also added to the United Nations (UN) 1267 Sanctions Committee's consolidated list of individuals associated with Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
Then, on October 14, Qassam al-Rimi, very much alive, announced that the AQAP would form an army in Aden and Abyan to fight Yemeni security forces.
The (Islamic) nation would soon hear good news, he said, and warned that in the days to come "we will not suffer in our homes while the enemy is safe in his."
Aside from showing he was alive, counterterrorism sources note that Al-Rimi's statements demonstrated four more points:
1. It was the first time that any branch of Al Qaeda had formed an army for a national rather than a religious cause.
Now, James, at the high noon club, you stated "You were against the Islamists Military and Political gains," but our "freedom of religion" clause guaranteed their freedom in their religious efforts.
Should the AQAP example become a model for replication by branches in other places, such as AQI in Iraq and AQIM in North Africa, the entire movement could undergo a fundamental metamorphosis of its operational structure that would confront the West with a new ball game in the terror stakes.
2. Washington could have known about the coming package bomb plot in time to take precautions. AQAP told the world that a fresh terror offensive was afoot. But no one in Washington was listening.
No security measures were introduced even though the Saudi tipoff was posted to Washington well in advance and the Saudi source, Jabir al-Fayfi, a reformed Saudi terrorist who was released from the US military prison at Guantanamo to Saudi Arabia in 2007, specifically spoke to his Saudi interrogators of package bombs to be posted from Yemen.
3. Since the first half of September, when Saif Al-Adel, Al Qaeda's chief of staff, was allowed to leave Iran and establish a command position in North Waziristan, he has been in contact with the three AQAP commanders, the top man Qassam al-Rimi, his operations deputy and senior bomb-maker Ibrahim Hassan Al Asiri (who constructed the package bombs intercepted last week on US-bound cargo flights) and Nayif al-Qahtani, liaison officer for al Qaeda cells in Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
ME sources report that these contacts were uncovered from intercepted Internet messages and confirmed by Al Qaeda personnel recently captured in North Waziristan and Yemen.
As Al Qaeda's incumbent chief of staff, Al-Adel must have been briefed in advance about the
rigged air parcels operation and gave it the nod.
4. Iran had no part in planning and carrying out Al Qaeda's package conspiracy but may well have obtained partial prior knowledge through its intelligence informants. Else how could they tell that the packages were not designed to explode as early as Friday, Oct. 29, when the two explosive packages had only just reached Dubai and Britain and were still treated as suspicious?
How could Tehran have known so soon as Saturday, before this information was released, that both parcels were rigged with circuit boards from cell phones, but the phone parts converted to timers because their SIM cards for receiving calls were missing?
None of the package contained a high-temperature detonator for activating the explosives in flight aboard the cargo freight carriers.
This tends to explode the theory advanced by counterterrorism chief John O. Brennan and West European experts that the bombs were not actually destined for the Jewish synagogues in Chicago to which they were addressed but designed to blow up aboard the aircraft. Exactly how Iran found this out will almost certainly never be known.
On the other hand, French Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux said Thursday, Nov. 4, that one of the two mail bombs from Yemen was defused just 17 minutes before it was set to explode.
James, 17 minutes is not a long time, when someone has to die!
But he [FIM] Hortefeux, provided no details which parcel he was referring to, the one intercepted at Dubai or the one in Britain, where he got the information about the timing, or the scale of the explosion - so adding another layer to the mystery.
As for the Iranian angle, all that can be said is that by turning Al Qaeda's top tactician loose on US forces in Afghanistan, Tehran also counted on him going into action on behalf of his movement on other fronts too.
By keeping him under the close surveillance by his Al Qods Brigades commanders, Iran expected to keep track of Al Qaeda's operations in other parts of the world.
Middle East counterterrorism sources disclose here a hidden chapter of Saif Al Adel's history betokening the long and tangled relationship between Al Qaeda and Iran which predates the 2001 Afghan war and the nine-year sanctuary-cum house arrest Al Qaeda's top activists on the run from Afghanistan were given in Iran.
In 1989, Al Adel, already a rising star in the service of Osama Bin Laden, traveled from Afghanistan to southern Lebanon along with Al Qaeda's military hard core of the day, Abu Talha al-Sudani, Sayfal Islam al-Masri, Abu Jafar al-Masri, and Abu Salim al-Masri, where they trained alongside Hizballah for nearly two years until the end of 1990.
A still lesser-known fact is that the British Richard Colvin Reid, who gained notoriety as the shoe bomber, trained for his mission with Hamas activists in the Gaza Strip for many months. In particular, they taught him how to charge and detonate PETN, the high-grade military plastic explosive found in the air cargo packages last week.
In the event, he was overpowered by fellow passengers before he managed to blow up a US jet en route from Paris to Miami on Dec. 22, 2001.
In Reid's case, there was a small thread of TATP running through 100 grams of PETN attached to a powder-fuse running through his shoelace, a method later used by Palestinian Hamas militants in their suicide bomb belts against Israeli targets.
It is hard to imagine that, given Iran's involvement in training Hizballah and Hamas terrorists, its bomb experts were unaware for the advantages and shortcomings of PETN as a tool of terror.
This explosive substance has the advantage of being virtually undetectable by conventional X-ray screening or sniffer dogs and is easily transported even in fluids, so that stopping these plots requires good intelligence.
While small amounts of PETN can be deadly, it is very hard to detonate - even by well-trained operatives.
Therefore, unless intelligence methods and security measures are drastically overhauled, say our counter-terror experts, the terrorists will eventually succeed.
Now, James, how you adapt to this "Intel Info" is up to you. If you act as "Jimmy Carter" once did, then more and more US Service Personnel will have to die, as well as Afghanis and Iraqis.
If you own up to the fact, that, maybe, just maybe, James Lankford might not be up to speed in what he believes about the "World-wide-Ishmaelite-Throat-Slitting" endeavors, our Military personnel will be benefited, and maybe they will be able to "all" come home at the end of the day.
It is my prayer, that, since you did win the election, "fair and square" that you will pick up the "Responsibilities" you have as our 5th District Congressman, and do Oklahoma a good job during your time in Congress.
I remain, just a "Servant of the Lord God of the Hebrews!"
JIM VINEYARD
YEDIDIM OF ISRAEL
Congress Elect James Lankford
5th Congressional District
State of Oklahoma
Dear James:
Let me congratulate you on your win this past Tuesday. As I had said at the "High Noon Club" when questioning you Friday October 22nd, I did expect you to win the election, and assumed "as I stated" that you would be our 5th District Congressman.
James, many, many years ago, before your time on the political scene, we helped Mickie Edwards get elected, and then, when he ran afoul of the Congressional Check Book "scam" we helped Earnest Istook replace him.
My concern about you, as I stated at the High Noon Club, my friend, is your "Jimmy Carter-like" position on Islam and its terror war against America.
Jimmy Carter was probably a better Christian than I am. You are probably a better Christian than I am. But, neither he, nor you, have "the number" of the Muslims who are 7th Century Jihadist Revivalists.
Therefore, if you will allow me to, I can help you concerning your stand regarding those Ishmaelites who wish to do we in the west in.
For Instance, let me tell you this:
As Al Qaeda exploded into a fresh outburst of terror against the United States and its allies, Iran pitched in by turning loose in Afghanistan the terrorist organization's most talented and charismatic tactician.
In mid-September, Tehran opened the door to Saif Al-Adel (Sword of Justice), releasing him from house arrest in Mashhad to cross into the Taliban-al Qaeda sanctuaries of North Waziristan and start directing attacks on US forces in Afghanistan. The Iranians kept him on a firm leash.
Since late 2001 or early 2002, Al-Adel has been living in Iran under loose confinement together with a large group of Al Qaeda leaders who were granted asylum when they fled Afghanistan shortly after the US-led invasion.
President Barack Obama was alerted to the long Iranian tentacle reaching into Afghanistan by CIA director Leon Panetta shortly before Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused US intelligence of plotting the 9/11 atrocity in a ranting speech at the UN General Assembly on Sept. 23.
Panetta informed him that in Afghanistan, Saif Al-Adel would be serving under the Al Qods Brigades commander Gen. Qhassem Suleimani, whom Iran's spiritual leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had instructed to supply the super terrorist with all his logistical, military, intelligence and financial needs.
This piece of intelligence demonstrated inescapably, according to military and counterterrorism sources, that the rulers of the Islamic Republic had jumped into the Afghan fray with both feet, opening a third front against America synchronously with the subversion of US polices in Iraq and destabilization of Lebanon by another of their surrogates, Hizballah.
By re-activating Al-Adel for its ends, Tehran provided Al Qaeda's forces in Pakistan and Afghanistan with a powerful supreme commander and substantially enhanced its potential for mayhem there and further afield too in the Middle East and the Horn of Africa, to which his command also extended.
Saif Al-Adel will be striking Americans for shared Iran-Al Qaeda interests in Afghanistan!
Saif Al Adel, now 60, made his debut on the Islamist terror stage in 1981 as a member of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad hit team which assassinated Egyptian President Anwar Sadat in October of that year during a military parade in Cairo. Prominent in al Qaeda's hard core of the 1980s, he was admitted to Osama bin Laden's close circle during the 1990s, migrating with him from Pakistan to Sudan and back, the while building a reputation as its most outstanding, charismatic and talented tactician.
For twenty years, the Al Adel signature was prominent in the planning and execution of every Islamist terrorist operation, excepting only the Sept. 11 attacks in New York and Washington.
After Mohammed Atef was killed in 2001, Al Adel was deemed his natural successor as Al Qaeda's chief of staff.
His career was curtailed when a large group of high-profile Al Qaeda operatives escaped across the Afghan border to Iran ahead of American pursuit, although he had first distinguished himself in battle against them.
The next nine years he was pretty much mothballed under house arrest in a suburb of Mashhad, with the exception of one known break.
Seven years ago, Middle East counterterrorism sources report, Tehran put Saif Al Adel in charge of punishing Saudi rulers for backing the 2003 US invasion of Iraq by a devastating terror campaign to shake the throne.
He put together an operational command staff from the al Qaeda commanders sheltering in Iran and ran training courses at Iranian military facilities for Saudi network members.
For nearly two years, Al Adel orchestrated terror strikes against US and other Western targets in the oil kingdom and government institutions, practically holding Riyadh to siege.
Car bombs blew up against the Interior Ministry which housed counterterrorism headquarters and penetrated the Saudi General Intelligence compound. His rockets struck the royal palace of King Fahd Ibn Abdul Aziz, Saudi monarch at the time. There were many casualties.
It took a secret Saudi-Iranian deal to terminate the violence loose in Saudi Arabia with high benefits advanced to Tehran in terms of expanding Iranian influence through the Persian Gulf and Arab lands.
Only then, did Tehran tug the ace terrorist's leash and restore him to house arrest.
But Now, James, our head man, General Petraeus reports instant, deleterious impact of the Afghan battlefield!
Now, James, whether you see this or not, Oklahomans are on the Battle Field in Both Iraq and Afghanistan against these Ishmaelite Throat Slitters, and as our 5th District US Congressman, it is you "duty" to get yourself up-to-speed on all the issues.
For his second comeback, the Iranians have granted Al-Adel a far broader mandate. His new mission is different from his Saudi operation in two more significant respects:
One: It is the first time in nine years he was allowed to leave Iran to command a terror project - although Tehran built into his mission a guarantee of his return.
Iranian and terrorism experts explain: The Al Qaeda commander knows that if he runs into trouble he has only one safe route of escape, to Iran.
Furthermore, once he crossed the border from North Waziristan into eastern Afghanistan and took charge of the war against NATO forces, he became heavily dependent on Iranian agents in the field and supplies of Iranian weapons.
Two: Whereas the Saudi royal family was the Iranian-al Qaeda target six years ago, with the Americans in second place, their primary shared target in November 2010 is United States forces in Afghanistan.
Our Washington sources disclose that straight after Panetta briefed President Obama on the arrival of Al Qaeda's master terrorist in Afghanistan, a steady stream of reports from General David Petraeus, the NATO commander in Afghanistan, began reaching the White House and the Pentagon describing the serious setbacks Al Adel had speedily inflicted on the battlefield in the short time since he took over.
Here are some examples:
1. One of new arrival's first actions in northern Waziristan was to establish ties with Mullah Omar's operational headquarters for Afghanistan and the Taliban Shura Council based in Quetta, capital of Pakistani Baluchistan.
The immediate effect was to harden the Taliban hard-liners who had turned their faces against negotiations with the Americans and the Karzai government in Kabul.
He also got in touch with the rejectionist leader of the Haqqani network which supplies the Taliban with fighters as well as logistical support.
2. Next, Al Adel built a combined staff for Al Qaeda, Taliban and the Haqqani Network, to jointly engineer a fresh spate of terror attacks on US forces in Afghanistan.
3. In very short order, he had up and running dozens of small bases for training terrorists of all three organizations to harass US troops in compact strike teams of 5-10 men.
The bases are managed by Chechen and Uzbek members of the al Qaeda-allied IMU - Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, who act as instructors and dispatchers of the squads which plant roadside bombs and stage suicide attacks.
These dispatchers must bring the death squads as close as possible to their targets.
Now, James, Jimmy Carter was not a prophet, as you aren’t either, but, history has taught that Iran also runs direct combat missions against US from Herat!
4. The new cells, already known to US commanders as the "Al Adel networks," quickly turned the Paktika Province in the southeast and the Paktia Province in the east into springboards for Taliban strikes in and around Kabul, the capital.
The US forces fighting in the two provinces are under constant siege and bombardment.
5. In northwestern Afghanistan, Iran's Al Qods Brigades officers and the intelligence agents handling local terrorist networks have taken over the provinces of Herat, Badghis, Farah and Ghor and opened up a direct front against US and NATO forces, counterterrorism sources report.
American military and intelligence sources candidly refer to this region as "under Iranian occupation" and say Tehran's grip there "is even more unyielding than its domination of southern Iraq."
When Al Adel needs more funds or war materiel, he sends his messengers directly to this address inside Afghanistan, providing him with a valuable short cut to supplies.
The same Iranian forward headquarters in the northwest is also the venue for Al Qaeda-Al Qods command meetings for coordination.
6. Our military and intelligence sources report that Al Qods is also hard at work building a local Shiite militia of 15,000 armed men run from its Herat headquarters now that the town is an Iranian city to all intents and purposes.
This Afghan militia is modeled on the Iraqi Mahdi Army.
When it is ready to go, Iran will have an integrated mechanism for catching US forces fighting in central and southern Afghanistan in a pincer movement - Al Qods and its cohorts striking from the east and Al Adel and his Al Qaeda units closing in from the west.
While working together in smooth tandem in Afghanistan for as long as it suits them both, it always possible that Shiite Iran and Sunni Al Qaeda will fall out at some future stage and go their separate ways - or even vie against each other.
On January 16, 2010, the Yemen government announced that the commander of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, Qassam al-Rimi, was among the six men an army bombing had killed in northern Yemen.
Five months later, on May 11 of this year, the US Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism announced that the Secretary of State had designated the leaders of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) Qassam al-Rimi and Nayif al-Qahtani culpable under E.O. 13224, which targets terrorists and those providing support to terrorists or acts of terrorism.
Al-Rimi and Al-Qahtani were also added to the United Nations (UN) 1267 Sanctions Committee's consolidated list of individuals associated with Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
Then, on October 14, Qassam al-Rimi, very much alive, announced that the AQAP would form an army in Aden and Abyan to fight Yemeni security forces.
The (Islamic) nation would soon hear good news, he said, and warned that in the days to come "we will not suffer in our homes while the enemy is safe in his."
Aside from showing he was alive, counterterrorism sources note that Al-Rimi's statements demonstrated four more points:
1. It was the first time that any branch of Al Qaeda had formed an army for a national rather than a religious cause.
Now, James, at the high noon club, you stated "You were against the Islamists Military and Political gains," but our "freedom of religion" clause guaranteed their freedom in their religious efforts.
Should the AQAP example become a model for replication by branches in other places, such as AQI in Iraq and AQIM in North Africa, the entire movement could undergo a fundamental metamorphosis of its operational structure that would confront the West with a new ball game in the terror stakes.
2. Washington could have known about the coming package bomb plot in time to take precautions. AQAP told the world that a fresh terror offensive was afoot. But no one in Washington was listening.
No security measures were introduced even though the Saudi tipoff was posted to Washington well in advance and the Saudi source, Jabir al-Fayfi, a reformed Saudi terrorist who was released from the US military prison at Guantanamo to Saudi Arabia in 2007, specifically spoke to his Saudi interrogators of package bombs to be posted from Yemen.
3. Since the first half of September, when Saif Al-Adel, Al Qaeda's chief of staff, was allowed to leave Iran and establish a command position in North Waziristan, he has been in contact with the three AQAP commanders, the top man Qassam al-Rimi, his operations deputy and senior bomb-maker Ibrahim Hassan Al Asiri (who constructed the package bombs intercepted last week on US-bound cargo flights) and Nayif al-Qahtani, liaison officer for al Qaeda cells in Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
ME sources report that these contacts were uncovered from intercepted Internet messages and confirmed by Al Qaeda personnel recently captured in North Waziristan and Yemen.
As Al Qaeda's incumbent chief of staff, Al-Adel must have been briefed in advance about the
rigged air parcels operation and gave it the nod.
4. Iran had no part in planning and carrying out Al Qaeda's package conspiracy but may well have obtained partial prior knowledge through its intelligence informants. Else how could they tell that the packages were not designed to explode as early as Friday, Oct. 29, when the two explosive packages had only just reached Dubai and Britain and were still treated as suspicious?
How could Tehran have known so soon as Saturday, before this information was released, that both parcels were rigged with circuit boards from cell phones, but the phone parts converted to timers because their SIM cards for receiving calls were missing?
None of the package contained a high-temperature detonator for activating the explosives in flight aboard the cargo freight carriers.
This tends to explode the theory advanced by counterterrorism chief John O. Brennan and West European experts that the bombs were not actually destined for the Jewish synagogues in Chicago to which they were addressed but designed to blow up aboard the aircraft. Exactly how Iran found this out will almost certainly never be known.
On the other hand, French Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux said Thursday, Nov. 4, that one of the two mail bombs from Yemen was defused just 17 minutes before it was set to explode.
James, 17 minutes is not a long time, when someone has to die!
But he [FIM] Hortefeux, provided no details which parcel he was referring to, the one intercepted at Dubai or the one in Britain, where he got the information about the timing, or the scale of the explosion - so adding another layer to the mystery.
As for the Iranian angle, all that can be said is that by turning Al Qaeda's top tactician loose on US forces in Afghanistan, Tehran also counted on him going into action on behalf of his movement on other fronts too.
By keeping him under the close surveillance by his Al Qods Brigades commanders, Iran expected to keep track of Al Qaeda's operations in other parts of the world.
Middle East counterterrorism sources disclose here a hidden chapter of Saif Al Adel's history betokening the long and tangled relationship between Al Qaeda and Iran which predates the 2001 Afghan war and the nine-year sanctuary-cum house arrest Al Qaeda's top activists on the run from Afghanistan were given in Iran.
In 1989, Al Adel, already a rising star in the service of Osama Bin Laden, traveled from Afghanistan to southern Lebanon along with Al Qaeda's military hard core of the day, Abu Talha al-Sudani, Sayfal Islam al-Masri, Abu Jafar al-Masri, and Abu Salim al-Masri, where they trained alongside Hizballah for nearly two years until the end of 1990.
A still lesser-known fact is that the British Richard Colvin Reid, who gained notoriety as the shoe bomber, trained for his mission with Hamas activists in the Gaza Strip for many months. In particular, they taught him how to charge and detonate PETN, the high-grade military plastic explosive found in the air cargo packages last week.
In the event, he was overpowered by fellow passengers before he managed to blow up a US jet en route from Paris to Miami on Dec. 22, 2001.
In Reid's case, there was a small thread of TATP running through 100 grams of PETN attached to a powder-fuse running through his shoelace, a method later used by Palestinian Hamas militants in their suicide bomb belts against Israeli targets.
It is hard to imagine that, given Iran's involvement in training Hizballah and Hamas terrorists, its bomb experts were unaware for the advantages and shortcomings of PETN as a tool of terror.
This explosive substance has the advantage of being virtually undetectable by conventional X-ray screening or sniffer dogs and is easily transported even in fluids, so that stopping these plots requires good intelligence.
While small amounts of PETN can be deadly, it is very hard to detonate - even by well-trained operatives.
Therefore, unless intelligence methods and security measures are drastically overhauled, say our counter-terror experts, the terrorists will eventually succeed.
Now, James, how you adapt to this "Intel Info" is up to you. If you act as "Jimmy Carter" once did, then more and more US Service Personnel will have to die, as well as Afghanis and Iraqis.
If you own up to the fact, that, maybe, just maybe, James Lankford might not be up to speed in what he believes about the "World-wide-Ishmaelite-Throat-Slitting" endeavors, our Military personnel will be benefited, and maybe they will be able to "all" come home at the end of the day.

Dear Pastors:
Below is a very good piece by Robert Krauthamer, syndicated columnist. It is a good read about "your Prez."

Dems' Collapse Will Also Doom Obama Agenda
By CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER Posted 06:07 PM ET
In a radio interview Monday on Univision, President Obama chided Latinos who "sit out the election instead of saying, 'We're gonna punish our enemies and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us.'"
Quite a uniter, urging Hispanics to exact political revenge on their enemies — presumably, for example, the near-60% of Americans who support the new Arizona immigration law.
This from a president who won't even use "enemies" to describe an Iranian regime that is helping kill U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan.
This from a man who rose to prominence thunderously declaring that we were not blue states or red states, not black America or white America or Latino America — but the United States of America.
This is how the great post-partisan, post-racial, New Politics presidency ends — not with a bang, not with a whimper, but with a desperate election-eve plea for ethnic retribution. Nice.
Yet press secretary Robert Gibbs' dismay is reserved for Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell and the "disappointing" negativity of his admission that "the single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president."
McConnell, you see, is supposed to say that he will try very hard to work with the president after the election.
But it is blindingly clear that nothing of significance will be enacted. Over the next two years, Republicans will not be able to pass anything of importance to them — such as repealing ObamaCare — because of the presidential veto.
And the Democrats will be too politically weakened to advance, let alone complete, Obama's broad transformational agenda.
That would have to await victory in 2012.
Every president gets two bites at the apple: the first 18 months when he is riding the good will honeymoon, and a second shot in the first 18 months of a second term before lame-duckness sets in.
Over the next two years, the real action will be not in Congress but in the bowels of the federal bureaucracy.
Democrats will advance their agenda on ObamaCare, financial reform and energy by means of administrative regulation, such as carbon emission limits imposed unilaterally by the Environmental Protection Agency.
But major congressional legislation to complete Obama's social-democratic agenda? Not a chance.
That's why McConnell has it right. The direction of the country will be determined in November 2012 when either Obama gets a mandate to finish building his "New Foundation" or the Republicans elect one of their own to repeal it, or what (by then) remains repealable
Gibbs' disapproving reaction to this obvious political truth is in keeping with the convention that all things partisan or ideological are to be frowned upon as "divisive."
This is pious nonsense. What is the point of a two-party democracy if not to present clear, alternative views of the role of government and, more fundamentally, the balance between liberty and equality — the central issue for any democracy?
The beauty of this year's campaign, and the coming one in 2012, is that they actually have a point.
Despite the noise, the nonsense, the distractions, the amusements — who will not miss New York's seven-person gubernatorial circus act? — this is a deeply serious campaign about a profoundly serious political question.
Obama, to his credit, did not get elected to do midnight basketball or school uniforms.
No Bill Clinton he. Obama thinks large.
He wants to be a consequential president on the order of Ronald Reagan.
His forthright attempt to undo the Reagan revolution with a new burst of expansive liberal governance is the theme animating this entire election.
Democratic apologists would prefer to pretend otherwise — that it's all about the economy and the electorate's anger over its parlous condition.
Nice try. The most recent CBS-New York Times poll shows that only one in 12 Americans blames the economy on Obama, and seven in 10 think the downturn is temporary

Letter to Pastors
November 1, 2010
Dear Pastors:
Physical difficulties awoke this ole "preacher-warrior" at 12:48 AM this morning. I got up, took some pain medicine for "feet-stomach-shoulder-neck" and went back to bed. No bowel problems this AM, thank the Lord, went back to bed, but couldn’t go back to sleep, tomorrow being the most important day for America in quite a while, so, its now 1:28 AM or so, and I am writing you.
At 4:20 AM I shall awaken my grandson, Kale Vineyard, and take him up to our camp to try to put him on a deer to kill. For a 12 year ole chap, who has, unfortunately, gone through a divorce, he seems to be "much on the ball." with life. PRAY FOR HIM.
Please [which I will send to you, shortly,] an email to Mr. Netanyah and Mr. Ya’alon, shade, copy, paste, and send from from yourself changing whatever applies to me, or deleting that part of it, and maybe all of us combined can make an effect on all this. You say, "What can I do?"
"Moshe Ya'alon", "Binyamin Netanyahu" ,
LET ME GIVE YOU SCRIPTURES OF TWO PREACHERS WHO KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING THEY COULD DO.
1Ki 21:1 And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
2 And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
[Ahab is trying to appeal to Naboth’s "sight temptation" rather than seeing what would look good in the eyes of Naboth, meant diddly squat, compared to what would look good IN THE EYES OF THE LORD GOD OF THE HEBREWS — i.e., keeping the "promised Land" in the hands of the inheritor - Naboth. Its all over for Ahab, but he cannot see it.
3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
4 And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?
6 And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
7 And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.
9 And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people: 10 And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.
11 And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
13 And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
16 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
17 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.
19 And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.
21 Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,
22 And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin.
23 And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
24 Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
25 But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
26 And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
27 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
28 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Now, in the very next chapter, we find the demise of the king of Israel
1Ki 22:1 And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
2 And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
3 And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?
4 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramothgilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.
[Jehosshapaht, a good king, is going to be rebuked fiercely for this "I am as thou art" nonsense.]
5 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day.
6 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
7 And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him?
8 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
Micaiah was one of those ole preachers, whom everyone could count on to declare "Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, and the good king of Judah, Jehoshaphat, could always count on this preacher, so he said, lets call him.
9 Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah.
10 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
11 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron: and he said, Thus saith the LORD, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have consumed them.
12 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the king's hand.
13 And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good.
14 And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that will I speak.
15 So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
16 And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the LORD?
17 And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.
18 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?
19 And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
20 And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.
21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him.
22 And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.
23 Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee.
24 But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee?
[It is amazing how "preachers of the Almighty, when they have "the Power" treat the ole men of God. Ah, but, what you "know-it-alls" better see, there is A GOD UP ABOVE THOSE CLOUDS, and HE IS THE ONE WITH WHOM YOU WILL HAVE TO DEAL as Chnaanah did!]
25 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.
26 And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;
27 And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.
28 And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the LORD hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you.
29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead.
30 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.
31 But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel.
32 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.
33 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.
34 And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.
35 And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.
NOW, for a story which I received from the Middle East:
Obama entourage for India trip biggest ever. Perhaps his last hurrah before the Republicans take over Congress and clip his wings:
http://indiatoday.intoday.in/site/Story/117956/India/obamas-trip-to-be-biggest-ever.html
Actually, there are always TWO Air Force One's on such trips - one a decoy which also ferries the small army of White House media.
Quote:
The presidential entourage will have 40 aircraft, including the Air Force One that will ferry the president. There will be six armoured cars, including the Barack Mobile, a Cadillac.
The Cadillac limousine is equipped with a mini communication centre to enable Obama to be in touch with the White House, US vice president and the US strategic command. It also has the US nuke launch codes and the nuclear switch for the president. It can also withstand a chemical or germ warfare or even a bomb attack.
The secret service will set up two command posts in Delhi and Mumbai which will act as the communication nerve centres. These centres will keep an eye on each movement by the president with real time satellite monitoring.
Three Marine One choppers will be reassembled in India to ferry Obama and his family. These helicopters will also assist in evacuation in case of an emergency.
Moreover, 30 sniffer dogs will be put on service to boost the security arrangements during Obama's visit.
Unquote.
Tomorrow, brethren, this "Mohameddan-in-Chief," who "mystified and obamafied" the dems with their leftists elites, black-socialist-give-me-my-due-from-whitey-checks, spread the wealth around, hispanics, Lo Info Sodomites, and self-hating Hebrews, can be put to flight with a good election on the part of the Tea Party Minded Americans.
We need pray. We need get out the vote. We need vote for Conservatives, whom, when elected will allow us to keep their feet to the fire, and bring about "change" from ole "keep-the-republicans-at-the back-of-the-bus" [check out the statement the Fox Female News Commentator showed of him "they will sit in the back" by Obama,] which takes this country back to our constitution.
Pray for this upcoming football trip to Israel, which Vice Prime Minister Ya’alon thinks is a "great idea." The Deaf pastor in the Ukraine, connected to Bob Van Zant is a "born again Jew." He has been to Israel and is plugged in to 10,000 "deaf Jews." Ultimately, that's what this trip with be all about, with all those "Deaf Ex Football Players" going.
NOTE; I am helping all the Deaf raise their money, and if all go, who’ve shown an interest in going, we shall need $84,000.00.
Can you send Yedidm of Israel a Thousand, five hundred, 400, 300, 250, 100, or even $50 towards this goal. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, let me know of your commitment and when we can expect it. The trip is Feb. 13th to 23rd, 2011.
Lots of money? YES! But, already in 2010, we have introduced four [4] Jewish friends to MESSIAH-SHILOH-EMMANUEL, God with us. WE NEED YOUR HELP! Please, please, please, let me hear from yuu on this! AND, BELIEVE YOU ME, FROM MY READ, THE JEWS ARE turning more Gentiles into Jews, than we are into "Jeshua [yuh-shu-aa] BELIEVERS!
In addition pray for this "VICE PRIME MINISTER BOOGIE YA’ALON "connection meeting" in December out west. That's all I can say about it. If you want to come to it, you will have to contact Mrs. Rachel Ruiz at our email address

1:57 AM - YEDIDIM OF ISRAEL
Dear Pastors:
Physical difficulties awoke this ole "preacher-warrior" at 12:48 AM this morning. I got up, took some pain medicine for "feet-stomach-shoulder-neck" and went back to bed. No bowel problems this AM, thank the Lord, went back to bed, but couldn’t go back to sleep, tomorrow being the most important day for America in quite a while, so, its now 1:28 AM or so, and I am writing you.
At 4:20 AM I shall awaken my grandson, Kale Vineyard, and take him up to our camp to try to put him on a deer to kill. For a 12 year ole chap, who has, unfortunately, gone through a divorce, he seems to be "much on the ball." with life. PRAY FOR HIM.
Please [which I will send to you, shortly,] an email to Mr. Netanyah and Mr. Ya’alon, shade, copy, paste, and send from from yourself changing whatever applies to me, or deleting that part of it, and maybe all of us combined can make an effect on all this. You say, "What can I do?"
"Moshe Ya'alon"
LET ME GIVE YOU SCRIPTURES OF TWO PREACHERS WHO KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING THEY COULD DO.
1Ki 21:1 And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
2 And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
[Ahab is trying to appeal to Naboth’s "sight temptation" rather than seeing what would look good in the eyes of Naboth, meant diddly squat, compared to what would look good IN THE EYES OF THE LORD GOD OF THE HEBREWS — i.e., keeping the "promised Land" in the hands of the inheritor - Naboth. Its all over for Ahab, but he cannot see it.
3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
4 And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?
6 And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
7 And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.
9 And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people: 10 And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.
11 And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
13 And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
16 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
17 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.
19 And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.
21 Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,
22 And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin.
23 And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
24 Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
25 But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
26 And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
27 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
28 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Now, in the very next chapter, we find the demise of the king of Israel
1Ki 22:1 And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
2 And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
3 And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?
4 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramothgilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.
[Jehosshapaht, a good king, is going to be rebuked fiercely for this "I am as thou art" nonsense.]
5 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day.
6 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
7 And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him?
8 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
Micaiah was one of those ole preachers, whom everyone could count on to declare "Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, and the good king of Judah, Jehoshaphat, could always count on this preacher, so he said, lets call him.

25 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.
26 And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;
27 And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.
