My friends, it is not about religion, it is about McCain getting busted cozying up to a Rabid Christian Zionist

I'm a bad Catholic, but good Catholics and bad know who Hagee is, looks like McCain didn't to do his homework. Oopsie. McCain, the underacheiving would-be warrior patriot king, poor guy probably just saw Hagee's Warmongering and Pro-Israel rhetoric and it was thumbs up from there. A game of "Who can show stronger support for Irsael?", right after Obama has to deflect the "antisemitism" boogeymonster.

Obama just got praise from "Jew Hater" Farrakhan. Oh look, here is "Jew Lover" Hagee with McCain, fawning all over each other. No cynicism there or anything... Nothing like subtlety exploiting the "Pro Israel = Pro War on Terror" propaganda. So when is the Media going to ask the Candidates to make sure that they let everyone know that they 100% support Japan and South Korea?

And there should be a "friends" drinking game starring John McCain if there isn't one already.

And one should only associate and discuss things with people who are 100% on the same page as them, but I understand the gag reflex, have you read some of the stuff that gets published on Salon?

Scott Horton Interviews Philip Cunliffe

February 19th, 2008

Philip Cunliffe, freelance writer and researcher at King’s College in London, England, discusses the new “supervised independence” of Kosovo under the authority of the European Union, the fallacy of benevolent international humanitarian intervention and its consequences in Sudan and Iraq as well as the Balkans.

Kosovo: the obedient child of Europe

Kosovo has not ‘declared independence’. It has slavishly submitted to the rule of UN officials, NATO troops and dictatorial modern-day viceroys.

For the past eight years Kosovo has been run not from Belgrade but as a United Nations protectorate (UNMIK), complete with an internationally-appointed viceroy. UNMIK was established after NATO bombed Serbia into withdrawing from the province in 1999. So in yesterday’s declaration, Kosovo’s parliament did not declare independence from Belgrade - yet nor did it declare independence from the ruling UN. Instead, the declaration embraces a model of supervised independence (1).

Under the terms of this model, the UN protectorate will be replaced by the ‘European Union Rule of Law Mission’ (EULEX), a 2,000-strong nation-building mission, incorporating police and judicial officials from the European Union to manage Kosovo’s legal system. Like the UN viceroys that preceded him, Pieter Feith, the head of EULEX, will have sweeping undemocratic powers to dismiss public officials and veto parliamentary legislation.

...

From the outset, the run-up to the declaration has been intricately coordinated with the EU, to ensure that it fits the timetable of ministerial meetings in Brussels rather than anything happening in Kosovo. Under the terms of ‘supervised independence’, Kosovo’s political leaders have willingly cast themselves in the role of obedient children, to be chastised and patronised by Brussels about democracy and multiculturalism, even as Brussels makes them submit to an unelected viceroy with dictatorial powers.

@LWM

The wiki was probably written by CIA Super Knights Of Malta Alex Jones and Pat Buchanan on a secret Jesuit Mission straight from the Pope himself. I hear the spooks love them some wikipedia.

Quick question... Kind of O/T but about McCain/Obama/Clinton... What's up with the future of Guantanamo?

Just curious if the closing of Guantanamo is a done deal now? McCain spoke out against it big time during the debates, and I don't see Obama or Dead Horse Hillary keeping it open.

Doesn't seem to be anyone bringing this up. According to the rhetoric and the debates, all three candidates Is McCain going to flip-flop and keep it open? What about Obama or the Dead Horse?

McCain: Close Guantanamo Bay

http://news.aol.com/elections-blog/2007/03/18/mccain-close-guantanamo-bay/

A little McCain "straight talk" from 2007 saying he'll close it down on his first day as President:

Scientist: Turn Gitmo Into Disease Research Center

Posted by Jacob Goldstein

Whatever happens in the presidential election this fall, it looks like the military prison at Guantanamo Bay isn’t long for this world: McCain, Obama and Clinton all favor closing it. So why not turn it into a center for tropical disease research, asks a tropical disease doc?

I wonder how long it will take for a "We need to keep Guantanamo open" flip-flop due to some "contingency", most probably from McCain?

oops

all three candidates Is McCain going to flip-flop and keep it open?

"all three candidates want to close it down. Is McCain going to flip-flop and keep it open?"
