It's possible that Israel may initiate a first strike preventive nuclear attack against Iran, aside from practically destroying Iran, I don't know how effective it will be at ending their nuclear weapons program. We learned in the last couple of days, the centrifuges are buried deep underground and safe from a missile strike. I guess Israel could bring the mountain down on top of the facility, but how much power would that take?

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/saudi-arabia-says-it-wont-rule-out-building-nuclear-weapons-10139229.html At the closing of the nuclear negotiations purported to be concluded on Sunday, the countdown to a nuclear arms race in the Middle East will begin. The first stage of this arms race occurred with the releasing of Israel's nuclear secrets by the US Government last month, now that everyone knows Israel has nuclear weapons, and the agreement with Iran is about to occur, it's only a matter of time before other nations start trying to develop their own nuclear weapons. The President, before he took office wanted to reduce nuclear weapons in the world, and near the conclusion of his administration, the opposite is happening. Scary times for the world, ". . .elections have consequences . . ." -PBHO Nov 2010

Hi Littlelambseativy, maybe I should have named the topic "The President's Punishment of Israel Continues". I wasn't trying to start a discussion as to whether God was punishing Israel or not. I actually believe the opposite. The creation of the nation of Israel last century is proof that God is blessing them and that their punishment is almost over.

Hi oo, I don't think anyone is judging her for her actions. But, she should be admonished and reprimanded for failing to maintain a professional image and the moral authority in her classroom. My mother is a counselor in a Middle School, in that school district teachers get fired for even posting pictures of themselves on facebook that don't live up to the moral and professional standards the district expects from their teachers. The school district has this authority because of a "morality" clause that is very clearly defined in their employee contract.

Arabs claiming to be "Palestinians" is no more truthful than Abraham offering Esau to God in Saudi Arabia. Both are blatant lies, yet billions of people are gullible enough to believe both.

The President, as some are saying, outraged at Netanyahu for his speech before Congress, released a 28 year Top Secret report last month detailing Israel's nuclear secrets. www.israelnationalnews.com

Sometimes I believe the only reason atheists support the theory of evolution is to make fun of those that don't believe in it. There's no other reason for it. Like many have stated, it is impossible for life to evolve the way it has on its own. The atheists can laugh it up all they want, but they have no basis in the scientific method to prove or disprove evolution, or our faith. Evolution really is a juvenile theory to support, they might as well be supporting reincarnation. People have a better chance of being reborn with the same genetic material they had in a previous life, than having been evolved from nothing to who they are over the course of billions of years. Maybe atheists should pick up Hinduism. It definitely is a very humanist religion and they won't even have to answer to a god. All of this is a desperate attempt to deny death, because just vanishing from existence is too frightening for atheists to contemplate who are mostly motivated by their egos.

If it was accidental, a reprimand and maybe a short suspension would be justified. They could also move her to an administrative position for the rest of the school year. The students that were exposed to that image will move on to the next grade and will for the most part move on with their lives. She can return to work as a teacher next year and should be able to move past this too.

From what is being reported on this, there is a keypad override on the flight deck. A pilot in the cockpit can switch to the override and disable the keypad. Once this happens there is no other way to get into the cockpit. While they are saying it is common practice for pilots in the cockpit to override the keypad since 9-11, its obvious in this incident that the co-pilot refused or was unable to release the override. The poor families, children, babies, such a sad day.

As Commander in Chief, the President can intervene in Military Courts Martials if he wishes. My personal opinion, Bergdahl served his purpose, the President was able to use him to justify the release of 5 highly ranked terrorists from Guantanamo Bay, and the President has no further interest in him. He will not pressure the military to drop the charges.

Yeah, it seems odd. Usually if it is a terrorist, they don't hesitate to praise allah when they are about to murder a bunch of innocent people. At least, what we have been told, there were no sounds coming from the cockpit, except for the Captain banging on the door, trying to get in. The other theory, which could be a case of extreme misfortune, is the co-pilot locked the cockpit door when the Captain left for a break, and somehow passed out, or became incapacitated in some way. I can see where, if a person passes out and slumps forward they could change the flight controls just enough to alter the course of the aircraft and put it in a controlled decent. Regardless, we now see a vulnerability with these cabin doors, someone could get locked out by a nefarious person bent on murder, or locked out due to an extremely misfortunate time for a co-pilot to be incapacitated. Maybe there should be a remote override in ATC facilities that would allow a person to access a cabin in circumstances like these. If an ATC facility had the ability to remotely override the cabin lock, they would be able to intervene in situations like this and save the passengers and crew from an intentional/accidental plane crash. My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of these victims, I hope an investigation will prove it was a tragic accident due to a vulnerability in cabin security protocol and not the result of another terrorist attack on our airlines.

I don't think the Army will cut him any slack. If it is proven that several soldiers died trying to find him, additional punishment will be added to the conviction if he is found guilty.

Europe made a deal with the devil by importing cheap middle eastern labor, and traded the European Jews for a bowl of soup. Now they are worried about the Jews leaving and taking their birthright (skills, wealth, prosperity, culture, education) with them. The Europeans are learning a painful lesson from their greed. I hope the US will learn from Europe's mistakes, and not repeat them, but I doubt it. The US is no longer content with importing laborers from the Americas, and are now importing laborers "refugees" from the middle east.

Good, hopefully that's where the standoff of the two Islamic factions take place and they can annihilate each other over dirt.

White House, Big Ben, Eiffel Tower, all symbols of consolidated power and idols for those that seek it. Yes, they are national monuments, but I couldn't care less if they were still standing today, tomorrow or 500 years from now. I am not condoning the threats against them, but they are just buildings and can be rebuilt. I'm heartbroken over the Christians and children being enslaved, tortured, and murdered throughout the world by the evil islamists. Those buildings signify the West's cruel indifference to their suffering.

Gross, leave the bugs to the birds and creatures, why would we want to rob them of their food supply?

I will briefly try to sum this all up. American culture isn't being forced to change, it simply has committed suicide. The heartland of America still has a deep, traditional culture, but the large cities on the left and east coasts are leading the way to our cultural decline. What we are seeing is a vacuum being filled by anything and everything. This is one of the reasons why hyphenated Americans are so popular right now.

Hi Shiloh, that agenda is globalization. America is too strong a nation to be subservient to a world government, so America must be weakened to the point that it can be forced to submit to that authority. Our borders, language, and culture are the targets. America united is unbeatable, but hyphenated America, and a fractured culture, language will weaken it. That's why the balkanization between blacks and whites is occurring. Eventually there were be other ethnic groups involved in this conflict, but if the 2 largest ethnic groups in the US can be in a constant state of agitation, grievance and conflict then it will be easier to implement other globalist policies while we are distracted. Anyone that advocates diversity, globalization, or multiculturalism is helping build the kingdom of the Beast. God scattered the Babylonians, created separate ethnicities, cultures, languages and borders. Uniting the world under multiculturalism and globalism is attempting to undo His work.

You are wrong B_E, the 1st Amendment protects "offensive" speech, it doesn't defer to the judiciary to decide what is protected speech and what is not. Refer to www.firstamendmentcenter.org

No oo. Senator Ted Cruz renounced his Canadian citizenship May 2014.

HI Fez, There was a lot more to my post than that first statement.

I disagree Aussie, there are elements in the Democrat party that don't believe in fair and honest elections and will exploit whatever weakness they can in a mandatory election, such as, pulling names from birth/death/marriage announcements in local newspapers, or getting names from school rosters, library cards, club membership lists, hotel registries, etc. When you are dealing with an immoral and corrupt electorate you have to tighten the reigns on them, not loosen them up. Like I said in an earlier post, if people aren't motivated enough to choose their government why would we want to force them to vote? If they don't care enough to vote, then they probably don't care enough to be informed about who they vote for either. We don't need more uninformed, unmotivated voters voting in our elections. They should be allowed to live their pointless lives in peace, I don't want them to wreck mine along the way.

Hi again ABC, Another issue that is only attributed to Arabic is that muslims believe it is (divine) allah's language. Muslims are required to pray in Arabic and read the quran in Arabic, even if they don't know the language. Their god, allah, apparently only understands and speaks Arabic. When they see the nonmuslim institutions of government speaking allah's language they see it as a victory for their religion. Americans don't have a problem with Arabic, they have a problem when muslims attempt to change our culture, society, institutions to their liking.

The UN can pass whatever resolutions they want against Israel, they mean nothing. A resolution is nothing more than a terse reprimand. The US will not support sanctions against Israel and the UN will not be able to force Israel or "Palestine" into any agreement. That's called a treaty, and we all know that Israel will not sign any treaty unless Palestine agrees to recognize Israel's sovereignty and right to exist. This is nothing more than the blustering of an angry US President for being unable to change the outcome of a foreign election. A UN resolution against Israel, supported by PBHO, is a tacit admission of having failed at foreign policy and diplomatic relations with Israel. The President may be able to get away with his heavy handed responses to domestic issues, but that doesn't work for sovereign nations with strong leaders. If only the US Congress had the backbone that Netanyahu has, the President would be more accustomed to losing by now.

My misunderstanding, I thought it was an American cadet in Britain.
