Newspapers are reporting that the United States State Department under Hillary Clinton made the extraordinary decision to refuse assistance requested by the United Arab Emirates into the assassination of a top Hamas commander. Israel’s Mossad is widely viewed as responsible for the assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhoh, which broke a host of international and domestic laws. The reports are based on Wikileaks documents and again suggests that the Administration misled the public in its position on the assassination.
The article below notes that the U.S. denied publicly that it had received a request for assistance from Dubai. The Obama Administration stands accused of not only refusing assistance but lying about the request.
The newspaper reports that senior U.A.E. officials asked the American ambassador and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to probe urgently “cardholder details and related information for credit cards reportedly issued by a U.S. bank to several suspects” in the murder. That is a critical piece of evidence that could have established links while the trail was hot in the investigation. It has long been doubted that the United States would assist in an investigation that would embarrass Israel.
If true, this is another dangerous example of politics trumping principle. What happens when we need information from UAE in a future case in pursuing, for example, an Iranian conspiracy. Countries may find themselves similarly ill-disposed to assist the United States.

You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.

eniobob,
I wish Rufus would post some more … I miss his insight … as a man with some real experience … drift again 🙂

Former Federal LEO;
Another way to look at your question would be,how many people of color read the “blawg” but do not post?
Former Federal LEO;
“Just curious, how many black people do we have within this blawg?”
Can only speak for myself.
Tootie,
Since you wrote your post to me, I’ll respond. Racism is an ugly part of this nation’s past and present. I think everyone should repudiate it and work for the equality of all people. This is worthy goal–to work for each other’s human rights.
I see no evidence of Obama’s hatred of white people nor do I see any black gangs working to harm white people. Obama is not a Marxist, he is a corporatist. Redistribution of wealth has been done purposely but not in a Marxist or Communist manner. Here is an interesting article explaining the redistribution of wealth. Although it is about Canada the same would apply here.
“Canada Discovers Trickle-Up Economics
by Linda McQuaig
There was always skepticism about claims that, as the rich became richer, income would “trickle down” to others. What wasn’t perhaps foreseen was that the trickling would actually be in the other direction, and that it would be more of a torrent than a trickle.
But the evidence is now clear. Over the last three decades, the tables of the rich have overflowed, with barely any scraps falling off. On the contrary, there’s been a massive transfer of income and wealth from Canada’s middle and lower class to the rich.
The result is that Canada has become a highly unequal society.
This is bad news, since a growing body of empirical evidence shows that extreme inequality has a clearly negative effect on a wide range of health, social and economic problems, as well as undermining democracy.” http://www.commondreams.org/view/2010/12/28

Bdaman,
I keep my trash in my barrels and I don’t use face powder. Besides, the rapture is at hand anyway, ain’t it? That ought to take care of all the God fearin’ folk.

Tootie,
While I agree with LK that you should “stock up”, I also think you should purchase stock in the canned meat product SPAM. Stock up both ways since SPAM lasts a long time in deep dark root cellars and the stock market is strong for it.
We will let you know when it is safe for you to come out of your cellar shelter–however, it could be Decades!
They thought he was black (because he looks it), but he knew he was half white. He was even raised in a white family. He sorta just thought he was a white guy. Mommy was lily white. And indeed, he was and is as much white as he is black. I don’t believe he has forgiven white people for their mistake. I think he wants to make them pay for it and all other perceived sins against blacks (even when most whites today didn’t commit them).
Thats why he was introduced to Frank Marshall Davis to blacken him up a bit. He was born black meant to be white but got stuck somewhere in between.
Stock up on canned meat and ammo ’cause the genocide of the white man is coming, LOL.
Keep your barrel’s clean and your powder dry
Lottakatz,
Yep …
Tootie, thanks for that posting; the mask comes off: a compassionate christian conservative white-power racist.

It’s always been about Obama’s race. Always.
Jill:
Marxist revolutions wind up with despotic(totalitarian or authoritarian) rulers. This is done through political destabilization viz a viz robbery (redistribution) whether Marxist or not. It was true of the Bolsheviks and their forerunners the Jacobins (the French).
Marxism (plunder and redistribution of wealth) destabilized Europe and paved the way for a Hitler type. Indeed, worse than Hitler: Stalin and Mao. Obama knows this. He is a student, not only of the Bolshevik revolution, but of the French Revolution (which led to Napoleon). It too was a redistribution of wealth and a push for secularism. Of course, Obama wants the dictator to be like him, seemingly just. Maybe it will be his wife? Voted into office like Hitler, of course. But you already know that Hitler thought himself to be a good man. Mao and Stalin felt they were good people too.
Despots usually do.
Obama dislikes white people, in particular. They thought he was black (because he looks it), but he knew he was half white. He was even raised in a white family. He sorta just thought he was a white guy. Mommy was lily white. And indeed, he was and is as much white as he is black. I don’t believe he has forgiven white people for their mistake. I think he wants to make them pay for it and all other perceived sins against blacks (even when most whites today didn’t commit them).
Whites will be the focus of what he hope and change for the future of America: genocide of whites. Already over half of kindergartners in America are nonwhite. Most of this occurred before he had any power but a lot of it occurred while and because he was a member of the Democratic Party and that party promoted genocide through immigration (though not openly). Funny, I don’t recall a time in America (when it was about 90 percent white) when the majority of white people raised their hands and consented to eliminate their genotype from off American soil. I guess that has escaped me. Oh dear. I just described genocide. Silly me.
This genocide also includes a catholic genocide against protestants (Ted Kennedy ran this operation). But that is another story.
Amnesty will speed up this racial and religious genocide. So will “death panels”. There are more reasons to cause older people to die off quickly than the government financial burden it creates. Of course this is a burden it willingly takes on in violation of the Constitution.
A prime reason for Obama and his fellow Marxist travelers to kill off older Americans are quickly as possible is because they are white. Currently, and throughout the world, whites tend to be more educated than blacks and South American Hispanics. That won’t do. Obama, and his fellow ruling elites (Pelosi, Clinton, Reid) want a citizenry that can more easily manipulated. That requires a less educated populous. Ideal is a populous net even remotely interested in education. They want cattle.
Marxists are famous for destroying the intellectual classes. Obama, Reid, and Pelosi are no different. That is why they draw from the least intellectually capable immigrant groups they can find instead of those intellectually similar or superior to most native born Americans before 1965.
Once whites are gone (the goal of the leftist elites in the Democratic Party), everyone will suddenly realize that death panels are not a good idea. Oops. Your caring government made a boo-boo. Sorry. Snicker. Tee-hee.
White liberals and progressives will be too outnumbered and feeble (just before they all die off or are escorted to their death by young non-white government officials) for anyone who hear their cries of regret for promoting genocide through immigration and redistribution of wealth. They will say this is not what they meant to occur.
Their subjugated children and grandchildren (the small minority of whites left in America) will curse them (their white liberal/progressive ancestors) for having not listened to those (like me) who warned them about the genocide and the consequences of redistribution (destabilization then subjugation).
It will be too late. Obama knows this. He is a student of it. He read this part of history with glee and considered it as a plan of action and not a fearsome teachable moment to avoid.
He is salivating.
In our case we have a revolving dictatorship/presidency and a squabbling and progressively weak congress which cannot fight the legislative branch and can only rubber-stamp the dictates of their own party leader. Whatever is good for the people is irrelevant. What the directorate wants is all that matters. And how they keep their power is their only guide.
Once Obama’s intentional destabilization comes to fruition (as the economy continues to collapse and the police-state gains a greater entrenchment) they will make examples of dissidents/protesters (this is how it always goes). The real dictator will come to power viz a viz the dictatorial power used by Abraham Lincoln (a vile and wicked man both mainstream parties admire thoughtlessly).
The warfare/welfare/terrorism government complex which has replaced the military industrial government complex is a Marxist redistribution plan by our leaders in both parties. The quest is to abolish the Constitution by default and join a global government (with the dictator standing in until further notice). He will represent our region at the world “congress”. And a terrified and terrorized populous will be grateful. What other choice will they have in a surveillance state where their will be numbered and tagged like sheep.
How do I know all this? I read history and I have eyes.
I SEE IT HAPPENING BEFORE MY EYES. I see Obama and I know exactly what kind of wicked man he is.
Ron Paul, and his son, are the only two leaders in Congress fighting against this.
I don’t get it why don’t them A-rabs love us?
The US has been a hand maiden to Israel for too long, through many administrations of both parties. This subservience has worked to the detriment of the US, of Israel, of Palestine and of the entire Middle East. Yet to suggest a more balanced approach is to be condemned as an anti-Semite. In reality a less obsequious attitude toward Israel would better serve that nation and it people.
It looks as if ANYTHING to do with foreign policy and third-party relations, we need to be humming.. “Same as it ever was”.. But for the Israelis – they’re are OUR TASK MASTERS..Yes sir boss!!
It’s a sad commentary on our current administration that this charge is believable. If there ever was a thing as American Exceptionalism, it’s quickly fading away.
Wikileaks reveals a clear pattern by the Obama administration–complete and utter lawlessness. International and national laws are only important for their use against the govt.’s declared enemies and for ignoring when confronting the govt.’s declared friends.
This govt. has consistently stemmed all investigations into torture and murder by itself. I am still shocked, even though I shouldn’t be, that the UN special racounteur on torture is investigating the govt.’s treatment of Bradley Manning.
This is the rule of fiat, the rule of bullies, the rule of a criminal class. It worries me that few people even understand what is going on, or worse, do understand, but fully support it because it’s “their” guy doing it. This is very short term thinking. Once such a criminal class takes power using that power to punish enemies and reward friends, there is no safety, no justice for any person. We are exactly like Russia-run by a gang of criminals. No citizen should accept this. The fact that so many do makes the restoration of justice/rule of law very difficult.
You cannot expect despots and tyrants (Marxist totalitarians like Obama and Hillary) in the US who think it just peachy to assassinate their own citizens to help the UAE in its investigations of suspected assassination by Israelis.
