Report: Iran's New Defense Minister Plotted Terror Attacks

Iran's new defense minister is behind past terror attacks against Americans and Israelis, finds report by Israeli expert.

Iran's new defense minister is behind past terror attacks against Americans and Israelis, the Israel Hayom newspaper reported on Monday.

The Islamic Republic’s new president, Hassan Rouhani, has appointed Brig. Gen. Hossein Dehghan as the new defense minister. Dehgan, according to a report by Brig.-Gen. (ret.) Dr. Shimon Shapira, a senior research associate at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, was responsible for attacks against U.S. and Israeli forces in Lebanon in the 1980s.

The appointment will become official once it is approved by the Iranian parliament, which began debating Rouhani’s new cabinet on Monday.

Dehgan has reportedly served in the Revolutionary Guard his entire military career, since the Islamic revolution in 1979. According to Shapira's report, as it was cited by Israel Hayom, Dehghan was sent to Lebanon after the beginning of the first Lebanon War in the summer of 1982.

You know the difference between them and us?

I saw Lewis Black perform live in Boston years ago.

Lewis mentioned something about Bush, and one guy in the audience yelled, "Kill him!"

The whole damn audience was stunned silent.

Lewis Black asked the heckler, "Do they keep you in a cage, and just let you out to see this show?"

Mr. Black put the asshole in his place, and the audience was right there with him.

THAT is the difference between them and us.

Anyone who calls themselves a Republican these days is almost certainly to be viewed not just with suspicion, but with fear. They are dangerous animals who should be kept in cages.

I'd be happy with a modest home that was fun and comfortable.

Some luxuries like a master bathroom with a hot tub. A game/rec room. A dedicated dining room. A Hot Chicks Room. Four bedrooms, an office, a solarium, enclosed patio, a castle tower, and a wrap-around porch on the second floor.

I'd also install geothermal heating and cooling, solar panels, and maybe a wind turbine. I'd also have a gray water recycling system. And charging stations for my electric and hybrid-electric cars.

If I was obscenely wealthy, I'd commission the Tesla company to design me an all-electric stretch limo with solar panels on the roof.

And I'd have a comfortable house on my property for my staff, all of whom would be unionized and paid a living wage with benefits under the household's corporation. There would be a chef, a housekeeper, a groundskeeper/gardener, a driver/personal shopper, and an aquaculturist to tend to the koi and tilapia ponds.

Islamic Jihad’s Kindergarten Graduation: Where’s the Cake and Cookies?

Islamic Jihad’s Kindergarten Graduation: Where’s the Cake and Cookies?

Take a look how Gazan kindergartners celebrated their graduation ceremony in an Islamic Jihad fashion.
“At every graduation ceremony, it is our obligation to educate the children to love the resistance, Palestine and Jerusalem, so they will recognize the importance of Palestine and who its enemy is,” stated the kindergarten’s director.

As part of the graduation, Palestinian kids dressed up as Israeli prison guards and played the exaggerated role of torturing Islamic Jihad’s military wing’s (Al Quds Brigades) prisoners.

The kids who participated in the ceremony expressed their feelings after the event:

First they came for the smokers. Then they came for the public masturbators...

tag added, because some people aren't it-getters.

Mitt Romney Campaign T-shirts: You’ll Never Guess Where They Ended Up

What do you do with T-shirts from a failed presidential campaign? Did you ever wonder where they go? Well, in the case of the ill-fated 2012 Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan ticket, the best place to donate your unwanted and unneeded Mitt Romney campaign t-shirts is to the ancestral country of your rival. In this case, Kenya, the birthplace of President Barack Obama’s father. The Knox County Romney Campaign of Tennessee has shipped their unwanted and unneeded (yeah I wanted to say that twice) Mitt Romney campaign T-shirts to the Orbit Village Project in Nairobi, Kenya.


As reported by the Daily Caller, Alexander Waters, campaign director for the Knox County Romney Campaign, explained that his organization chose the Orbit Village Project because his mother, Cyndy Waters, runs the project and its American base is in Sevierville, Tenn.

“I mentioned to her that we had a lot of [Mitt Romney campaign] shirts and that we were wondering if they had a need for them and she said, ‘Yes, that would be great.’ So instead of putting them into a storage unit or something we were like, ‘We can generate some good out of these shirts,’” Waters said. “I’ve been over there and a shirt can go a long way,” he added.

...

The sight of 50 Kenyan kids wearing Romney-Ryan T-shirts is the best closure to 2012 campaign EVER. http://t.co/Q8Qu0EihXN
