In a bombshell announcement, Christopher Burnham, undersecretary general for management, said an internal audit into the purchasing of supplies for peacekeeping operations found widespread waste and corruption that has raised "a number of serious concerns" about the U.N. procurement system. "The potential abuse could go into the tens of millions of dollars," Burnham said. ........we are in the middle of looking at 200 different reports of abuse." Andrew Toh, a 25-year U.N. official who h...
Sometimes you just have to laugh at how stupid these people are. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.), who criticized Supreme Court nominee Samuel A. Alito Jr.'s past membership in a controversial Princeton University alumni club, severed his ties with a former Harvard college social club that bans women members. "He has decided to be taken off their rolls, believing that it is a mistake to continue to be affiliated," Kennedy spokeswoman Melissa Wagoner said in a statement. Link ...
The islamic revolution is coming. Federal agents have launched an investigation into a surge in the purchase of large quantities of disposable cell phones by individuals from the Middle East and Pakistan, ABC News has learned. The phones — which do not require purchasers to sign a contract or have a credit card — have many legitimate uses, and are popular with people who have bad credit or for use as emergency phones tucked away in glove compartments or tackle boxes. But since they ...
NYPD Gets 'Islamic-Culture Training' Police in New York are getting "Islamic-culture training" to prepare them for dealing with Muslims in the city, home to 16 percent of the nation’s Muslims. About 100 members of the NYPD’s hostage negotiating team spent a day at a local college learning about mosques, prayer rituals, holidays and other facets of Islamic life. The instruction was designed to give negotiators tips on dealing with any hostage situation involving Muslim perpetrators,...
The controversy following revelations that U.S. intelligence agencies have monitored suspected terrorist related communications since 9/11 reflects a severe case of selective amnesia by the New York Times and other media opponents of President Bush. They certainly didn’t show the same outrage when a much more invasive and indiscriminate domestic surveillance program came to light during the Clinton administration in the 1990’s. At that time, the Times called the surveillance "a necessity."

Do democrats ever wonder why they lose elections?
Remember that codepink gave $650,000 to the terrorists in Fallujah, and have called our soldiers "killers". Thank You Congressman Murtha! CODEPINK co-founder Gael Murphy and DC coordinator Allison Yorra met with Congressman Murtha to thank him for his courageous stand on Iraq. We presented him with our pink badge of courage and pink flowers sent by CODEPINK members nationwide. Rep Murtha was very appreciative of these gestures and requested that we ask legislators to support H.J Res 73 (...
As usual another biased poll that somehow favors democrats was released. Democrats quickly jumped on this, but as we usually find out, polls are biased towards republicans. Link Strongly Republican .......................... 13 Moderately Republican ..................... 27 Definitely Independent/neither........... 8 Moderately Democrat........................ 32 Strongly Democrat ............................ 20 Refused/not sure............................. - Total Republican...
As usual democrats get away with these things, but when a repbulican does it, it's "high crimes". Hypocrits. Foreign Intelligence Electronic Surveillance By the authority vested in me as President by Sections 102 and 104 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (50 U.S.C. 1802 and 1804), in order to provide as set forth in that Act for the authorization of electronic surveillance for foreign intelligence purposes, it is hereby ordered as follows: 1-101.

Hey democrats, where is that depression you said was coming in the election? State finances are the healthiest they've been in years, a new survey of state governments found, with tax collections higher than expected over the last several months. Costs remain a concern, however, as governments pay more for energy, health care and education. Cash coming into states through tax collection is markedly improved, and while spending pressures are still a worry, they are less so than in pr...
The General Manger of the local Chevrolet dealer says he does not have the equipment needed to fix my car because it's not in stock. That is obviously a connection to the Iraq war and Bush. He said he only has 34% of the alternators he had before the Iraq war. The vast majority of alternators were on backorder because of Bush. What's even worse is that Bush has not taken any steps to replace my alternator. The General Manager said it might take a few days to replace my alternator. Bu...
Stop sending U.S. money to these terrorists and let Israel do what it needs to. Abbas gave his approval just six days ago, a day before a suicide bomber struck the HaSharon Mall in Netanya, killing five Israelis and wounding scores of others. The legislation refers to the suicide terrorists as shahids (martyrs), a term generally applied to a person who dies in an operation fighting against Israel. Under the new law, the terrorist’s family will be paid a base sum of $250 per month. ...
Who said the following? Bush: You entered Iraq with lies, you will lose Iraq and lie about it and you will leave with the pretext that you have completed your mission. . . . America only has to decide on the number of (troops) it wishes to lose before withdrawing." Was it Pelosi? Dean? Kerry? Reed? Murtha?
As usual the french and their liberal lovers here in the U.S. once again cave into violence. Islamists riot for weeks, destroying massive amounts of property, and Chirac says they need to "understand" them. All liberals move to france, that's where you all belong. PARIS (Reuters) - France must draw the consequences of two weeks of riots and respond quickly to the problems raised by the rioters, President Jacques Chirac said on Thursday as a police chief warned of possible unrest in t...
