LAS VEGAS // President Bush recently echoed Vice President Dick Cheney's support for Croatia to join the European Union, a bid that has been stalled because of the former Yugoslav republic's slowness to own up to and prosecute its 1990s war crimes and its failure to ensure protections and rights for minorities, including returning Serb refugees. Croatia also faces the possibility of being excluded from the 2008 European soccer championship because when an Italian team's fans taunted the Croatian team's fans at a match in August by waving Yugoslavia's old communist flag, the other side took great offense and showed...

Iraq Study Group finds solution to the Jewish prob—I Mean, the Iraq problem. After several weeks, the much talked-about Iraq Study Group--tasked with finding a solution to the Iraq problem--announced its proposal, conceived mainly by former Secretary of State James Baker: The way to fix Iraq is for Israel to withdraw from the West Bank and Golan Heights. The proposal is titled “F--k the Jews. They don’t vote for us anyway.”Jimmy Carter was seen slapping his forehead and saying, “D’oh! Why didn’t I hire that guy?!”Even as I’ve kvelled over the past six years of the Bush administration’s almost unprecedented...

People Magazine’s November double issue named George Clooney “The Sexiest Man Alive” for the second time (1997 was the first). While I like looking at Clooney as much as the next girl, when he opens his mouth, all I can see is Michael Moore. If Michael Moore is a dumbed-down Noam Chomsky (and he is), George Clooney is a dumbed-down Michael Moore. And that’s not sexy. Call me old-fashioned, but one trait I’ve always looked for in a man is that he be more intelligent than I am. And more manly. But when I see George Clooney, all I can...

Somewhat of a p.s. to Tuesday’s post about Turkish NATO troops’ good works for the non-Serbs of Kosovo: The province’s parliament has just approved Turkish as an official language, to join Albanian and Serbo-Croatian (the last one just a formality until they kick the last of the Serbs out). Turkish had been declared official in Kosovo before, in 1974, but the UN ended that in 1999. Apparently, the 15,000 ethnic Turks of Kosovo “have had a long-standing desire for their language to be used in official documents.” This could be fun......

At one point in the film, we witness Bosnian Muslims relishing in the destruction of an Orthodox Church in Bosnia. With this one brief segment, “Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West” becomes the first film to recieve wide attention in the U.S., that truthfully shows Muslim aggression in the Balkans as well as the Balkan connection to the worldwide Islamic jihad — rather than falsely portraying Balkan Muslims as nothing more than hapless genocide victims, as they have been depicted for more than a decade. Airing on Fox tomorrow at 8:00 pm and repeating on Sunday at 1:00 am,...

Remember that non-practicing, “nominally” Muslim province over which we bombed Christian children in their beds and dismantled multi-ethnic Yugoslavia? Yeah — Kosovo. Except get used to the trendier, Islamic/Clintonite pronunciation Kosova for when it officially becomes an Islamic state in a few months (with U.S. approval). Because that’s what we sold out our World War II Serbian allies for. And it gave us such a warm, fuzzy feeling to Balkanize the Balkans on behalf of Muslims who only hate us more now — that we’re still too verklemped to talk about it. Here was the schedule for Kosovo’s highly Europeanized,...

Bill O'Reilly recently bemoaned the fact that there are no conservative late-night comedians/hosts. He had on Jeanne Wolf from Parade Magazine, and she gave the usual hack response: "Maybe conservatives just aren't as funny--not on purpose, anyway!" Well The America Show is coming. It's a TV pitch that Julia Gorin is currently shopping around with her two co-creators. It'll be a female Daily Show with a conservative bent. Comedy's next frontier: pro-American humor, baby! There's a short clip of the three gals gabbing conservatively at this site.

But the U.S. gets a say, so let’s try giving a damn. Tell the following individuals to vote NO on Kosovo independence. That would be the Kosovo where Bill Clinton murals are almost as popular as bin Laden keychains......

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | In the much talked-about Chris Wallace-Bill Clinton interview on Fox, Clinton made several pointed insistences to Wallace that "at least I tried" to confront terror. This of course implies that the Clinton administration gave a damn in the first place. But how does one reconcile that with the fact that this man allied us with al Qaeda in the Balkans? That Clinton had a tantrum over an obvious question asking why he didn't go after bin Laden, that he would consider such an interview a "hit job," is high comedy. This diva, unused to being challenged by the...

It’s a peculiar thing that as the threat of global terrorism reaches a crescendo, so apparently does the threat of global warming—at least that’s what some would have us believe. Tough, national-security language is borrowed from the former and applied to the latter to make the case: "I really consider this a national security issue,” celebrity activist and “An Inconvenient Truth” producer Laurie David said, and hoped the film would serve as a “wake-up call.” “Truth” star Al Gore calls global warming a “planetary emergency” and speaks of a clash between “civilization and the planet.” Likewise, Bill Clinton’s “first worry”...

Last week Muslim groups criticized President Bush for referring to a “war with Islamic fascists.” In an item titled "U.S. Muslims bristle at Bush term Islamic fascists," Reuters quoted CAIR executive director Nihad Awad as saying, “We believe this is an ill-advised term and we believe that it is counter-productive to associate Islam or Muslims with fascism.” Seconding the notion was a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles-based Muslim Public Affairs Council, Edina Lekovic: “The problem with the phrase is it attaches the religion of Islam to tyranny and fascism, rather than isolating the threat to a specific group of individuals.”...

As Bush stands firm in the Middle East, he capitulates in Europe By Julia Gorin Writing for an outfit called FamilySecurityMatters.org last week, Weekly Standard contributor and longtime champion of Balkan Muslims Stephen Schwartz describes an overnight bus ride from Kosovo's capital Pristina to a resort town in Montenegro: "A man behind me began speaking almost immediately and without stopping, in Albanian — which I understand…insistently focused on the nature of G-d (a favorite subject for Islamic fundamentalists), [and on] the nefarious influence of Sufis who thought they could reinterpret the faith, the evil intentions of Americans, Iraq, and bloodshed....

A Jewish Albatross: The Serbs By Julia Gorin FrontPageMagazine.com | March 16, 2005 Imagine that a country is fighting domestic terrorism by Muslim militants who are carrying out attacks against police, government officials and citizens in a bid to carve out their own state, hoping to provoke a response from the government that will alarm the international community. Imagine that the world duly intervenes, and a peacekeeping force is sent in, paralyzing the nation’s ability to defend itself, and effectively doing the militants’ bidding even as attacks against the non-Muslim population continue. Finally, imagine the intervening internationals severing this nation’s...

Writing for an outfit called FamilySecurityMatters.org last week, Weekly Standard contributor and longtime champion of Balkan Muslims Stephen Schwartz describes an overnight bus ride from Kosovo's capital Pristina to a resort town in Montenegro: "A man behind me began speaking almost immediately and without stopping, in Albanian — which I understand…insistently focused on the nature of G-d (a favorite subject for Islamic fundamentalists), [and on] the nefarious influence of Sufis who thought they could reinterpret the faith, the evil intentions of Americans, Iraq, and bloodshed. I was startled because it is rare to hear Albanians, after the rescue of Kosovo,...

Did you hear the one about the Jews who paid a thousand dollars a plate to hear Bill Clinton speak — after he sold Israel down the river (by rewarding genocide bombings with more land)? Or the one about the Jews who are still loyal to a political party whose members pass out 9/11-Israel conspiracy literature at public forums?

recently came face to face with a level of Western ignorance that I hadn't encountered since the 1980s, when Russian immigrants were still a novelty to Americans. A British-American asked my father a question that could only come from someone who has known freedom his whole life: "Why did you leave Russia? Your family was there, you had a job, you had free health care. Why did you leave?" The questioner, a former editor with the New York Times, then proceeded to assert that today's Britain and U.S. are no longer free. The exchange reminded me just how out of...

al-Reuters on the Arrested Jewish Gunman: No Immediate Claim of Responsibility for the Attack Miami Beach-based Militant Zionist Octogenarian Terror Group Most Likely Responsible WHO NU? http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | Operating on the mistaken assumption that engaging in terrorism can win sympathy for Jews the way it does for Muslims, two Israeli men opened fire on Palestinian civilians in separate incidents last month. But even though attacking the World Trade Center and the Pentagon four years ago turned out to be the best public relations move for Muslims yet, the two Israeli settlers misfired in their petty, low-key attempts to duplicate that...

Little is more annoying and transparent than conservative pundits putting on an air of elitist dignity and taking the high-minded road, adopting the posture of their "objective" liberal counterparts—at the expense of someone or something that deserves better, in this case Ed Klein's book "The Truth About Hillary." This invaluable contribution to the national dialogue in prelude to the scariest presidential race in history has been used by conservatives from Joe Scarborough and Sean Hannity to Peggy Noonan and John Podhoretz as a point of fleeting, brown-nosey, cushy convergence with their ideological adversaries, whom they mimic in shunning the book....

Desperation has again led Muslims to commit suicide bombings, this time in London. Brits still bewildered by the attacks, protesting, "But we're not Jewish!" need to get out of their cocoons and start asking the relevant question: Why is this happening? To stop terrorism, one must remove the root causes of terrorism. To that end, maybe it's time England pulled out of occupied Londonistan. Only then will this cycle of violence end. With the unemployment rate among British Muslims at 10 percent above the national average, perhaps a divestment campaign, as well as an academic boycott of England, would help...
