| Moscow - Russia opposes the possible deployment by NATO of Patriot missiles near Turkey´s border with Syria, the foreign ministry said on Thursday. "This would not foster stability in the region," Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said of Turkey´s request for deployment to the Western military alliance. NATO ambassadors met on Wednesday to consider Turkey´s request, which followed weeks of talks between Ankara and NATO allies about how to shore up security on its 900-km (560-mile) border to avoid a spillover from the Syrian civil war. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius

If you read and post here long enough, you may be able to predict accurately what and how some countries & leaders will react to events that effect them. Case in point, when Turkey here is asking for the same Patriot Missile defense system they turned down during the President Bush years, Russia would get bent. Well, they did, and they should.
Enjoy your "turkey," W. , while Russia eats crow.

The French are saying what we used to say: The Patriots are defensive.
Russia is making a mistake in alienating Turkey and Syria is making a greater mistake in ticking the Turks off. All to the good for our side.

Russia should worry about creating instability. Their predecessor Soviet Union government harassed, threatened and imprisoned people around the world for decades. In about 1960, they threatened the US with a 40 megaton bomb...ater tried to place nuclear weapons in Cuba, supported insurrections and unrest around the world, shot down our planes in international airspace, blokckaded berlin, threatened to take control of Greece and Turkey, etc. This is for those too young to know or remember.

The US administration has declared its determination to provide non-lethal assistance in the form of bullet-proof vests, night vision goggles and other devices to the Syrian opposition. (Snip) In reality, the US administration is taking a back seat on the Syrian crisis—an attitude it also adopted when handling the Libyan crisis. But there is one small difference between the two: in Syria, the US is not seated behind NATO troops, but rather behind the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and the Al-Nusra Front. Washington is allowing all of these groups to lead in the hope that it will reap the last-minute benefit:

The school where President Barack Obama sends his daughters is at the centre of a sex storm. The Quaker-run Sidwell Friends School in Washington DC is one of America’s most exclusive, attended by many generations of presidents’ children. Obama and his wife Michelle pay more than £40,000 a year in fees for their daughters Malia, 14, and Sasha, 11. But this week sordid details of an affair between a psychologist at the famously secretive school and a pupil’s mother (Snip) Some friends have suggested Malia and Sasha should be tutored at home in the White House,

Kabul, Afghanistan — The first time the Taliban tried to kill him, Sulaiman was driving to his base when his truck was hit by a rocket, knocking him down a cliff. The insurgents knew his vehicle, its license plate number and, most important, his occupation: a high-value combat interpreter for United States Special Operations troops in Afghanistan.

The impending introduction of legislation to overhaul the country’s badly strained immigration system received an extraordinary endorsement on Sunday from Senator Marco Rubio, Republican of Florida, who, after holding back for weeks, appeared on no fewer than seven television talk shows to explain and defend a plan that he said would be “a net positive for the country, now and in the future.” It was a striking show of confidence from Mr. Rubio, one of eight members of a bipartisan Senate group that has been crafting a plan to provide a path to legal status for undocumented immigrants;

In Philadelphia, a doctor is on trial for the gruesome murders of eight people inside his low-rent office. A former assistant testified that she personally witnessed the physician commit at least 30 murders. Most of the patients were "beheaded," another assistant said, adding that there was "blood all over the place." If you have not heard of this doctor´s trial for committing a terrifying, decades-long string of serial killings, there is a reason. He is an abortionist. His name is Kermit Gosnell.

Rep. Steve Stockman (R) of Texas touts himself as "the most conservative congressman in Texas." His new bumper sticker should erase any doubts. On Friday, Representative Stockman´s Twitter account unveiled his new campaign bumper sticker: "If babies had guns, they wouldn´t be aborted. Vote Pro-Life!" For Stockman, the bluntness and the desire to shock are nothing new. It was Stockman who invited gun enthusiast Ted Nugent to be his guest at President Obama´s State of the Union address in February. This is the Ted Nugent who once said: "If Barack Obama becomes the president in November

If you’re a member of the mainstream media, the odds are you’ve completely buried the Kermit Gosnell story. Whether you’ve hushed the murders of hundreds of babies because you’re “pro-choice,” because you don’t really care, or because Barack Obama once voted to protect many of the same procedures employed by Kermit Gosnell doesn’t really matter. You’ve been willfully negligent in your reporting and, now, you’re being shamed into correcting yourself. Case in point is last night’s episode of Anderson Cooper 360. Cooper devoted nearly half of last night’s episode to the story,

In what can only be described as a “house of horrors,” abortion provider Kermit Gosnell stands trial in Philadelphia, charged with the grotesque murder of at least seven infants, allegedly born alive after botched abortions only to be brutally killed moments later. As this nearly month-long trial continues, it paints the stark and unmistakably abhorrent reality of abortion. While the national mainstream media has been all but silent about this trial, the headlines coming from local media coverage have been morbidly graphic. Babies born alive and then allegedly killed in truly barbaric ways.

It was a scene the Philadelphia District Attorney called “a house of horrors.” A warning to readers, some of the details in this story are gruesome. West Philadelphia doctor Kermit Gosnell is on trial for running an abortion clinic in which he allegedly killed babies that had survived illegal, late-term abortions, and where a woman allegedly died of a botched pain-killer injection. (Snip) “There are any number of witnesses, most of them former employees of Dr. Gosnell’s clinic, who say they saw late-term abortions being done, they saw fetuses, babies, that were moving, breathing after the procedure,

Murder. Exploitation. Blood money. Intrigue. The story of Kermit Gosnell has all of this and more, a story which is filled with horrifying and sensational details, a story of such heartless depravity and gory death that it could have been a George Romero film. So why is it that you are almost guaranteed to have never heard of Gosnell? (Snip) The trial of Gosnell began last month, and other than conservative websites and news sources, it is almost impossible to find a story in the mainstream print press until a few days ago, and as of the time of this writing, there has been Zero coverage of the story by the major

North Korea´s latest little Kim has proudly announced that his hermit kingdom will soon launch a manned mission to the Sun. Kim Jung Un, the son of Kim Jong Il and grandson of Kim Il Sung, is only 28. But it has been an exciting first 12 months for the little guy. The widely-read newspaper The Onion named Kim "2012´s Sexiest Man Alive," which puts him in the company of previous hunk winners, Bashir al-Assad and Bernie Madoff. To show his decisive side, Kim has fired several generals and perfected his own salute. He also enlarged People's Army hats to outsize South Korea's.

West Hollywood, CA - A potentially deadly strain of meningitis, which has left one resident brain dead, has sent a shiver through the large gay community here, as public health officials have urged residents to be on the lookout for any symptoms of the disease. Although only one case has been confirmed in the area, officials said, the onset follows an outbreak of deadly meningitis in New York City among gay men. At least 22 men have contracted meningitis in New York since 2010, 13 of them this year, and 7 have died. “The lesson we learned 30 years ago in the early days of H.I.V. and AIDS is

Although Levin would not offer the congressman’s name on air, he has been a vocal critic of various members of the House Republican leadership in the past. But Levin called the situation “fascism.” “Well, it has come to my attention that there is a Republican congressman out there who doesn’t like what I’ve been saying,” Levin said. “It has come to my attention that there is a

Pro golfers, golf writers, and TV commentators are up in arms that Tiger Woods was only given a 2-stroke penalty for his illegal drop on the 15th hole yesterday. Tiger said last night that he dropped his ball two yards behind his previous spot, clearly violating the rule that you must drop "as nearly as possible" to your original spot. Golf people are not happy about it. They say that the new rule is B.S. (or it´s at least being misinterpreted), and Tiger should DQ himself to save the integrity of the game.

Few Americans can not answer this question: who is the worst domestic mass murderer in United States’ history? Due to the United States media, most are aware that Timothy McVeigh slaughtered 168 people with a bomb in 1995. Most Americans also know the names of our three most monstrous serial killers: “The Green River Killer” Gary Ridgeway, Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy. The U.S. media is again responsible for the general awareness of these men; these stories deserved — and received — national attention due to our common interest in personal safety, the rule of law

In Philadelphia, at a human abattoir on Lancaster Avenue, is where it ends, not where it starts. It starts with the perversion of language. It starts when the icons of a dissipated culture reduce a baby to a “fetus.” From there, Yeats’s blood-dimmed tide rolls rapidly in. Before long, a baby is not a person but a punishment, as President Barack Obama framed the matter in his familiar off-the-cuff iciness. Of course, to describe newborn children in their boundless possibilities and wonder would be to acknowledge, foremost, their humanity. That is why, instead, abortion enthusiasts must grope for words

Here is something I don’t understand: liberals are often revealed as vile, vulgar hatemongers–not all of them, of course, but far too many–yet they never seem to pay a penalty at the polls. Why is that? Margaret Thatcher’s death has been the latest occasion for the Left to show its true stripes. All across the U.K., there have been demonstrations–vulgar at best, and violent at worst. In Bristol, lefties celebrating a Thatcher “death street party” started fires, destroyed property and battled police: This evening in Trafalgar Square, liberals have turned out for a long-planned celebration of Thatcher’s death:

With President Obama, there’s always a catch. In the 2014 budget he announced last week, Obama proposed a more accurate way of calculating the inflation rate for annual cost-of-living increases in Social Security. It’s a technical change in pursuit of honesty and good government. And if adopted, it would cause benefits to grow more slowly, though almost imperceptibly so. Republican leaders in Congress ought to be delighted since they had “championed”—Obama’s word—the idea in the first place. Then came the catch. The president’s price for adopting this gentle reform was hundreds of billions in new tax increases.

Newtown killer Adam Lanza’s mother considered suing Sandy Hook Elementary School after teachers turned a blind eye to beatings from his classmates, a family member claims. The relative, speaking to the Daily News, claimed that mass murderer Lanza was taunted and attacked by fellow students at his childhood alma mater. “Nancy felt fiercely protective of him,” the relative said. “She was convinced the school wasn’t doing enough to protect Adam. It made her irate.” Nancy Lanza — gunned down by her 20-year-son to start his Dec. 14 rampage — even tagged along with Adam to school

Then you notice the blue lights flashing. You´re savoring the satisfaction of seeing a trooper actually nab an aggressive driver — until you realize it´s you he´s pulling over. This could happen, if not very often, under a major transportation package expected to be taken up in the Senate Appropriations Committee next week. Introduced by Sen.
