There were no humanitarian supplies aboard the Mavi Marmara.
Nine activists were killed after they had brutalized and captured three Israeli commandos.
The flotilla consisted of 7 ships. Only 4 carried any cargo.
The Defeny, a cargo ship, carried mostly hospital equipment, beds, wheelchairs, crutches and 4 tons of medicine.
The Defeny cargo was not in containers or properly stowed on pallets. The supplies were thrown in piles where some of it was crushed under its own weight. Many of the medicines were past their expiration dates.
The other 3 cargo ships carried construction equipment, construction materials and rubble from demolitions intended for re-use – old toilets, sinks and the like.
Videotaped interviews with the Captain and a ships officer can be seen at the Israeli Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center website.
Ken Arnold, speaking for the seven experts from The National Academy of Engineering, said the Obama administration changed their report to read support for a drilling moratorium when the actual recommendation was just the opposite.
Ken Salazar altered the signed report to convey the exact opposite advice than given. The report was then presented to the public as justification for a drilling moratorium in the Gulf of Mexico. The seven experts never saw the revised report. In a civil court the charges would be fraud, forgery and perhaps libel. But the sad fact is that politicians are de facto beyond the law.
The BP well was in the process of being shut down. This is a far more critical process than continued drilling. There is worldwide demand for rigs. They will not sit idle.
[The engineers report] also said that because the floating rigs are scarce and in high demand worldwide, they will not simply sit in the Gulf idle for six months. The rigs will go to the North Sea and West Africa, possibly preventing the U.S. from being able to resume drilling for years.
They also said the best and most advanced rigs will be the first to go, leaving the U.S. with the older and potentially less safe rights operating in the nation’s coastal waters.
And we thought Jimmy Carter was the worst President this nation ever had.

Saudi Arabia is clearing a path across their land through which Israeli bombers may pass to shorten their route to Iran. Saudi Arabia, a Muslim nation, is doing more to help Israel survive than is America under the leadership of the thugs from Chicago.
The significance of this move by Saudi Arabia cannot be overstated. Israel is about the size of Massachusetts. Its population is concentrated in a small area of the country. Ahmadinejad’s claim to eradicate the nation becomes a credible one when he has the bomb. Just two bombs, each having ten times the power of those dropped on Japan is all it would take. Israel cannot let this happen. Ahmadinejad will not be deterred. Iran knows that Obama’s United States is fully prepared to do nothing. Israel must do something.

D Day was the second day of WW II to go down in infamy. December 7th, Pearl Harbor Day was the first. On D Day the Allies stormed the beaches of Normandy, France and put boots on the ground in German held territory. .It was a day thousands gave their lives to rid the world of a bloody genocidal tyrant.
A memorial was built to honor those who fell that day. Bedford, Virginia was chosen as the site in recognition of the fact Bedford lost more men per capita that day than any other town or village in the country. Every June 6th.a ceremony is held; Presidents come to pay their respects on behalf of millions of Americans, Presidents that is, except Barack Obama who chose instead to go to a theatre party this year.
Hitler is credited with the murder of 6 million people. Evil though he was, he was outdone 10 times over by Stalin who is credited with the intended starvation and killing of 60 million of his own countrymen. Last year we dispatched a bust of Winston Churchill from the White House, an affront to the people of Britain. This year we added a bust of Josef Stalin to the D Day memorial, an affront to those who died to free the world of the evil Stalin represents. No, this sculpture by a Lynchburg college professor is not but an affront; it is a dishonor, a despicable slap in the face of the dead.
JOSEF STALIN, PERHAPS THE BLODDIEST DICTOR IN HISTORY

An alien in the White House
Dorothy Rabinowitz (WSJ) has written an insightful analysis explaining why Obama has fallen from grace by so many of his one time admirers. Her thesis is Obama is apart from America; he is among us but not of us. He is an alien in the White House.
There should have been nothing puzzling about [Obama] to anyone who has paid even modest critical attention to Mr. Obama’s pronouncements. For it was clear from the first that this president—single-minded, ever-visible, confident in his program for a reformed America saved from darkness by his arrival—was wanting in certain qualities citizens have until now taken for granted in their presidents. Namely, a tone and presence that said: This is the Americans’ leader, a man of them, for them, the nation’s voice and champion.
[Obama lacks those qualities expected in a President], identification with the nation and to all that binds its people together in pride and allegiance. These are feelings held deep in American hearts, unvoiced mostly, but unmistakably there and not only on the Fourth of July.
A great part of America now understands that this president’s sense of identification lies elsewhere, and is in profound ways unlike theirs. He is hard put to sound convincingly like the leader of the nation, because he is, at heart and by instinct, the voice mainly of his ideological class. He is the alien in the White House.
Ms. Rabinowitz continues,
One of his first reforms was to rid the White House of the bust of Winston Churchill—a gift from Tony Blair—by packing it back off to 10 Downing Street. A cloudlet of mystery has surrounded the subject ever since, but the central fact stands clear. The new administration had apparently found no place in our national house of many rooms for the British leader who lives on so vividly in the American mind. Churchill, face of our shared wartime struggle, dauntless rallier of his nation who continues, so remarkably, to speak to ours. For a president to whom such associations are alien, ridding the White House of Churchill would, of course, have raised no second thoughts.

John Bolton agrees with Random Thots.
In Obama’s War? we argued that America has been a catalyst for good. Standing firm with our friends we presented a formidable front to anyone who might challenge any free nation among us. Obama is dismantling these alliances and breaking a solidarity that has been crucial for deterrence against aggression by our adversaries upon our allies.
Power Line reports on Bolton’s comments,
Bolton concludes that the harm caused by American weakness on the Gaza blockade issue will reach far beyond the Middle East: “America’s friends and allies increasingly realize that President Obama won’t stand with them in controversial circumstances.” Bolton suggests that “those closest to us will calibrate their own interests more carefully to hedge against US weakness, step by step distancing themselves from us.” I would add only that those most opposed to us have taken the measure of Obama’s weakness and are taking advantage of it in ways that bring a major conflagration ever closer.
Reagan made sure we carried a big stick and peace prevailed. Obama is whittling the stick into a symbol of submission. The United States has been the cop on the beat that caused the felon to walk on by. But the cop has been recalled from duty and Iran is not the only felon to notice it.
It could take a lifetime to reverse the damage this President is doing.
