Iraq's parliament voted unanimously Monday to back military preparations to repel any U.S. attack aimed at toppling President Saddam Hussein. Saddam's eldest son Uday, meanwhile, told the rubber-stamp National Assembly that the expected U.S. attack would be "more cruel" than the U.S.-led 1991 Gulf War that expelled Iraqi invasion troops from Kuwait. The parliamentary vote came just over a week after the failure of talks between the United Nations and Iraq about the return of U.N. weapons inspectors to Baghdad. If we do it right, "more cruel" will be an understatement. And Sammy, Uday, Qusay, and a considerable number of those "parliamentarians" will end up at the ends of ropes...

Police arrested 55 people attending a "depraved" party, hauled them into court and saw sentences of flogging imposed, the government-run "Iran" paper reported Monday. Aged between 16 and 26, they were charged with morals offences, including encouraging "corruption and illegal relationships between unmarried people," the daily said. I'll bet some of those perverts were necking! Some of them even with girls!
They were surprised by police while dancing at a birthday party in posh north Tehran, Iran said. Following the four-hour trial, an undisclosed number of the accused were sentenced to flogging. Yep. That'll calm the country down after last week's riots.
"And what'd you get for your birthday?"
"Flogged. Wanna see my scars?"
Special police units equipped with new four-wheel-drive vehicles have greatly reinforced their presence in numerous northern and eastern quarters of Tehran, Iran's capital of 10 million people. As well as stopping and checking the occupants of cars, they have also stepped up raids on parties in north Tehran and well-to-do residential areas, often rounding up youngsters. Iranian officials regularly crack down on so-called "depraved" parties where Iran's strict Islamic laws have been flouted with alcohol, drugs and mixed-sex dancing. That mixed sex dancing'll just clobber a respectable theocracy. Terrible when that happens. Just terrible...

Iman: You kids today, You got no repect for their elders. Boy, if I had disobeyed the government under the shah, I wouldda been flogged within an inch of my life.
Kid:(standing in a very long line of kids before the 'flogging tree'): Boy you sure had it rough.
Iman: stay in line kid, the beatings will continue until morale improves.
All this going on in a country where the number one black market item is C-band satellite parts.
Which is kinda funny seeing how satellite TV is completely outlawed, why would anyone need parts?
Why, youd think that these poor people actually think they have a right and expectation to personal libery and freedom?
Now, I wonder where did they get that idea?

Former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani Monday condemned the "flagrant support" of US President George W. Bush for the Islamic republic's reformers, state radio reported. "This open interference and this flagrant support reflects a particular political tendency towards Iran... and reveals one more time that the Americans are mistaken in their calculations" of the situation in Iran, Rafsanjani was quoted as saying during a meeting with military commanders. Lordy, I hope not. But if you calculate that something's a certain way, you can kinda predict what's going to happen next week. If your projections work out, then you assume you're on the right track...
The former head of state, who is seen as an ally of Iran's dominant conservatives, dismissed as "naive" talk of a rapprochement with the United States. "In the current state of things, one should act with foresight and wisdom, and in order to face the enemy, one should above all avoid any divergence and discord," said Rafsanjani, who now heads the powerful Expediency Council, the nation's top arbitration body. "Yup. There's only room for one opinion around here, and that's ours. You don't like it, you can be flogged until you do."

Iran's judiciary chief, Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi-Shahrudi, held talks with leaders of Palestinian radical groups in the Syrian capital on Sunday, Palestinian officials said. "We are trying to draw up a joint stand to face up to the US-Israeli plans against the region and the Palestinian cause," the head of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, Ahmed Jibril, told AFP. He said the talks with the Iranian official also covered "the resistance inside Palestine".
On his first visit to Syria, which hosts the radical groups, Iran's judiciary chief earlier held talks with the spiritual leader of Lebanon's Shiite Muslim fundamentalists, Sheikh Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah. He already met Saturday with Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, who heads Lebanon's Shiite fundamentalist movement Hamas, said the group which is supported by both Tehran and Damascus. Cheeze. This guy's itinerary reads like the Stud Book of Terrorism. And he's head of their judiciary! "Axis of Evil" sounds... inadequate.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei appointed two successors on Friday to occupy the position of a cleric who resigned after protesting the repressive nature of Iranian politics. Each of them half the man he is... Ayatollah Jalaleddin Taheri, who resigned as Friday prayers leader of Isfahan on Tuesday, accused the hardline Iranian judiciary of being a "mafia" that stifled reform moves and contributed to the country's brain drain. Khamenei appointed the two clerics Ali Qazi-Asgar and Mohammad- Taqi Rahbar as successors to the highly popular Taheri. Ayatollah Jalaleddin Taheri listed "deception, unemployment, inflation, the diabolical gap between the rich and poor, bribery, cheating, growing drug consumption, the incompetence of authorities and the failure of the political structure" of the regime as his reasons for stepping down. Other than that, they're going fine...

Deputy Head of Management and Plan Organization (MPO) for Management and Human Resources Mahmoud Asgari-Azad said Monday that Iran is interested in using South Korea's successful experiences in reorganization of manpower in the
state sector. Meeting the visiting South Korean Head of National Service Commission Heyan Cho-Chang, he added that South Korean privatization drive and downsizing of the government could be emulated as a successful model. The South Korean official said that the recruitment terms in the country are such that the state employs individuals who are highly paid and have good job-related benefits in the private sector. In addition, he said, that Individuals who are introduced to the commission will be placed according to their background, merits and capabilities and the employment contracts are generally between three to five years. I think they're in the aisle trying to decide between Extra-Strength Tylenol and Motrin to deal with the nail driven into their collective forehead...

Interior Minister Abdolvahed Moussavi Lari stressed Monday the need for the
reinforcement of the unity between the people and government. Speaking in a meeting to introduce the new satrap governor general of Sistan and Baluchestan province, Lari said the Islamic Revolution has created proper grounds for the people to play a role in the decisions taken in the government. "It's really very simple: the government makes decisions, the people carry them out. What's so hard about that?"
When the people see that they are in a position to play a role in the decision-making process in the government they would tend to operate more effectively with the government officials too and the affairs would be run in the best possible way. Oh, yasss... "We should all be nice"...
He stressed the prime importance of the national concord and said it would contribute to the cooperation between the officials and people. National concord would guarantee the national interests, he noted and added that the public participation in affairs, social justice and democracy are among fundamental principles of national concord. That's why they have the floggings...

Thirty Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) rebels were killed during a fierce battle with the Uganda Peoples Defence Force (UPDF) at Agoro Trading Centre in Kitgum district. The battle took place at dawn when about 400 rebels attacked a UPDF military base at Agoro, Uganda. Capt. Abdu Rugumayo said the rebels attacked the trading centre from the Agoro hills in a bid to penetrate deeper into the country from Kitgum. He said the rebels thereafter retreated back to Sudan border through the same Agoro hills. Rugumayo said only three UDPF soldiers were confirmed to have sustained minor injuries during the battle. The thought of LRA guys decomposing is a comforting one...

John Walker Lindh, the California man captured while fighting with the Taliban in Afghanistan, pleaded guilty to two charges Monday in a surprise deal that will spare him from spending the rest of his life in prison. "I plead guilty. I plead guilty, sir," Walker, 21, told U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III early in what was supposed to be a weeklong series of hearings at which defense lawyers hoped to get statements Walker made to investigators thrown out of his trial. Good. Put him away and forget about him...
Walker pleaded guilty to one charge of supplying services to the Taliban and another charge, not originally in the indictment, that he carried explosives in the commission of a felony. Under terms of his deal with prosecutors, Walker, 21, will be out of jail before he turns 42. He has agreed to serve two 10-year prison sentences and will cooperate fully with U.S. authorities in their terror investigation. Maybe he does have a conscience...

I was so excited I wrote a song:
The Ballad of John Walker
(or, Tali-Banned in Boston!)
Let me tell you the story
Of young Johnny Walker
Of a misguided and foolish young man
He left his home in Frisco,
Said goodbye to his Mamma
Went to join up with the Taliban
Johnny went to Yemen
Where he studied his Koran
And then he made some further plans
He e-mailed Daddy,
âSend me twelve hundred dollars
âCause Iâm goinâ to Afghanistan.â
Chorus:
But will he ever return?
Will he ever return?
Now his lesson is still unlearn'd
He should be shot for treason
On the streets of Kabul
He's the man who may never return.
Now Johnny joined al-Queda
And learned to blow up buildings
And his own homeland to curse
Then came September Eleventh
And then came the airstrikes
And things went from bad to worse
When his troop surrendered
John was filthy and ragged
And defeat had him feelinâ blue
Then he saw a reporter
From the AP or Newsweek
And said âHey, Iâm an American too!â
Chorus
Johnnyâs Mommy and Daddy
Met up with some reporters
And they talked like a coupleâa flakes:
âSure, our sonâs a terârist
But you canât be judgmental;
Hell, everybody makes mistakes!â
âHeâs a good boy, reallyâ
Johnnyâs Daddy added,
âIf you knew him well, youâd see.
So Iâve found some lawyers
Whoâll defend him pro bono,
Gonna beat the rap and set him free!â
Chorus
Now the tale of Johnny
Is an object lesson
In what the wages of sin can be
But you might also conclude
The only good Johnny Walker
Is the whiskey from Tennessee!
Final chorus:
But should he ever return?
No, he shouldnât return
âTill his lesson he has learned
He's gonna spend a long time
Down in old Camp X-Ray
He's the man who should never return.
(Apologies to the Kingston Trio and 1948 Boston mayoral candidate Walter OâBrien.)

A British Taliban fighter held at Guantanamo has provided US investigators with a link between a group of Seattle militant Muslims and members of a radical mosque in London, the Seattle Times reported Sunday. The prisoner, Feroz Abbassi, told CIA interrogators earlier this year that he traveled to Afghanistan from London in 2000 with an American Muslim convert now suspected of being a key figure in supporting the al-Qaeda terrorist network. Abbassi said he had met the man at the North London Central Mosque, a major recruiting ground for Islamic terrorists. That mosque is led by Abu Hamza al-Masri, a militant cleric who supports Osama bin Laden. Abbassi also reportedly said that while he was fighting for the Taliban in Afghanistan, he met another man, a Swedish citizen who had been to the United States in November 1999 to scout a potential site for an al-Qaeda training camp. Abbassi, 22, was captured near Khandahar, Afghanistan, by US troops in December. A native of Uganda and a British citizen, his continued detention at Camp X-Ray has prompted numerous protests in Britain. Seems our ignoring those protests is paying off...

A U.S.-born ''enemy combatant'' captured with Taliban fighters in Afghanistan may be held by the military without charges or access to legal counsel, a federal appeals court ruled. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, reversed a lower court's order that the Defense Department give Yaser Hamdi unmonitored access to a public defender, finding the trial judge made the decision without ''adequately considering the implications'' on U.S. intelligence gathering. ''Our Constitution's commitment of the conduct of war to the political branches of American government requires the court's respect at every step,'' Circuit Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III wrote for the three-judge panel, which remanded the case to the trial court for reconsideration with instructions to weigh ''the most cautious procedures first.'' So there. The books are chock full of precedents. The only reason this mess ever went into a court was because so few people pay any attention to precedents anymore. It's a continuously reinvented wheel that the defense lawyers are hoping will come out square this time.
The appellate panel's unanimous decision in a case pitting concerns about civil liberties against the government's effort to wage an unconventional war didn't go as far as the Defense Department wanted. The judges said it would be ''premature'' to endorse the argument that the courts can't ''second-guess'' the military's designation of enemy combatants.

A bomb disposal squad of NWFP police has discovered a pin and a lever of a locally-made hand-grenade and a dynamite near the site of Saturdayâs attack in which 13 people including nine European tourists were injured. They were recovered by the bomb disposal squad NWFP. Meanwhile, local police have rounded up dozens of activists of banned Jehadi outfits, defunct Sepah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP) and Afghan refugees for interrogation. "LeGume!"
"Yes, Inspector?"
"Round up the usual suspects!"
Later, at a Press briefing, the IGP Saeed Khan told reporters that both the devices used in the attack were made locally and were of low intensity, which were hurled on the tourists from a considerable distance and exploded in the air above the roofs of the Ashoka relics. I think the translation of "Sipah-e-Sahaba" is "Bloodthirsty Ignorant Goobers' Association," but I'm not sure...

Pakistan Sunday condemned killings in a shantytown in Jammu as a âterroristâ act aimed at escalating tensions in the region. âThe government of Pakistan condemns the killing of a number of civilians and injuries to many others in a terrorist attack in the outskirts of Jammu on Saturday,â a foreign office statement said. âThe motivation behind the attack seems to be to enhance tension in the region.â ... they said, nervously.
Actually, that's pretty much a first â the Paks describing something hair-raisingly awful, done by their (former?) pet jihadis, in J&K as "terrorism."

A Pakistani court has found four Islamic militants guilty of abducting and murdering American journalist Daniel Pearl. The main defendant, British-born and educated Ahmed Omar Sheikh, was sentenced to death. Three men named as his accomplices, all Pakistanis, were sentenced to life in prison. Execution in Pakistan is carried out by hanging. Defense lawyers say they will appeal the sentences. Hang them. Then let them appeal.

I hear that Omar graduated from the prestigious London School of Economics. He could have become a stockbroker. As I believe in guilt-by-association, I'd like to ship a couple of sleezy brokers that I know to Pakistan. Beheading is too good for some of those lying greedy little scumbags. I'm mean and I'm full of piss!!!
Israeli troops arrested at least ten Palestinian activists in a raid in the West Bank. The ten are wanted by Israeli security forces for their suspected involvement in attacks against Israeli targets. Additionally, Israeli troops detained another activist near Hebron, Israel Radio reported. The arrests came as the Israeli army lifted the curfew on Jenin for a twelve-hour period Monday, in order to allow residents to stock up on food and supplies. "Honey, when you go out to the store, don't forget to pick up ammunition. And C4. We're almost out of C4. Oh, yes, and toilet paper..."

With a new round of Mideast diplomacy opening this week, Arab nations will introduce a plan calling for international recognition of a Palestinian state, followed by a two-year period to work out the final borders. Took Bush's suggestion and reworked it to their own advantage, did they?
The talks that open Tuesday in New York are an attempt to revive Mideast peacemaking, and will include diplomats from the United States, the United Nations, Europe, and Russia, along with Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. They going to try and set the peace processor on "puree"...
The Arab plan, worked out in conjunction with the Palestinians, calls for Palestinian elections for a new leader and parliament in January as part of a broader reform effort. Is the "new leader" going to be Yasser? Or are they going to put him in a nursing home? If he's in a nursing home things might look different...
Shortly after the balloting, the Palestinians would seek United Nations recognition for a state based on the borders that existed before the 1967 Mideast war. Oh? Is that a hook? But the bait looks so yummy...

Pre-1967 borders? Even the vaunted U.N. resolutions 242 and 338 make clear that the final borders would be subject to negotiation.
I'd put the fence-building project on 24/7 status, and to hell with the overtime.

Actually, Steve, there was a recent article in the Wall Street Journal saying that the new fence is actually a bad idea. When Israel put up a fence over at Lebanon, the terrorists promptly moved right up to it and put missiles right there, and when Israel tried to move in, the int'l community insisted that the fence was actually a border and therefore Israel was being all aggressive 'n' stuff. So if Israel doesn't want to settle on that fence being an int'lly recognized border of Israel/Palestine, they may want to reconsider building it at all.

Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak said Monday his country disagreed with Israel on the role Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat should play, but that the two states could still work together to promote peace. "We differ on this issue ... But we can find a way, without affecting Arafat, to help negotiations and reach a solution," Mubarak told reporters after talks with Israel's Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer. Sure. Yasser has to play a role, and a big one. Look at all he's accomplished so far!
An Israeli source said earlier that Ben-Eliezer's visit to Egypt was part of Israel's efforts to convince the international community, including the Arab world, that Arafat must go before the peace process could move forward. Egypt and other Arab states have repeatedly backed Arafat as the Palestinians' elected leader and said any change was up to the Palestinian people. And they'll choose who they're told to choose, so shut the hell up.

The troops initially prevented a Palestinian fire engine from approaching, but then allowed two Israeli fire trucks to extinguish the blaze, the witnesses added. About 20 workers were inside the building at the time, and all managed to escape expect the one who was killed, the witnesses reported. Paleostinian firetrucks don't appear to be any better trusted than Paleostinian ambos. Wonder what the factory produced?

Inhabitants of the West Bank city of Nablus have addressed an urgent appeal to the Arab and Islamic Ummah along with freedom-loving people in the world to save them from a sweeping disaster as a result of continued Zionist mass punishments. The appeal asked for immediate intervention to halt the Zionist occupation authority's suppressive measures topped by curfews that paralyzed life in the largest West Bank city for the 23rd consecutive day. They were happily exploding all over the place up until the curfews...
The appeal pointed to the series of repressive steps adopted by the occupation forces on more than a million Palestinian inhabiting the city of Nablus, which led to a serious and semi-complete collapse of the Palestinian economy. It noted that the world conscience remained silent vis-Ã -vis such a continuous crime, expressing belief that if the same thing happened to another people by any government other than "Israel" the entire world would have referred its members to an international court for committing crimes against humanity. Maybe the "entire world" was watching the daily meat heading out to explode and they're bored with it now...

Abu Sayyaf rebels are a spent force after a US-Philippines military operation, but the conditions that bred them could just as easily bring forth a new Southeast Asian "terror" group, an American diplomat said Monday. "We don't think there's much left in them," US ambassador to Manila Francis Ricciardone said, speaking two weeks before a 1,000-member US military advisory mission pulls out of the southern Philippines following a six-month joint campaign against the Muslim rebel group. They've been much diminished in terms of whatever formality and organization they had. At least one of its five principal leaders has been killed, the others are on the run. The numbers of fighters clearly are much diminished." That looks like a pretty accurate assessment. Abu was more a bunch of particularly vicious bandidos than an insurgent group — that was MILF's job. Probably the next, and more serious, threat is from Jemaah Islamiyah. Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia in coordination can probably deal with them because they haven't had time to grow yet, but they will have the time and opportunity within Indonesia, where they alternate between being afraid of them and being in sympathy with them. With the organization flourishing there, it'll keep trying to spread back to PMS, continually looking for any kind of a weak spot.

Osama bin Laden is in good health after recovering from a shrapnel wound inflicted in December, according to an Arabic-language magazine editor. Abdel-Bari-Atwan, editor of the London-based al-Quds al-Arabi magazine, said on Monday that bin Laden's associates told him the terrorist mastermind was injured in his left shoulder by shrapnel during an attack on his base in the Tora Bora mountains in eastern Afghanistan. Atwan said he was given no other details on the injuries or events surrounding the assault. Captured al Qaeda fighters who fought at Tora Bora said bin Laden's left hand was injured in the fighting. A bin Laden videotaped statement released in late December, after the Tora Bora battle, shows the al Qaeda leader moving his right hand. His left arm never moves and the left hand is never seen in the video. There's a difference between the left shoulder and the left hand. And the statement's hearsay — from people who lie to each other almost as much as they lie to everyone else. Take the whole statement with a three or four-pound grain of salt.
Asked where bin Laden is hiding, the editor said, "They never indicated where he is. But I guess he is in the border area (between Afghanistan and Pakistan)." If he's still alive, that's probably where he is. After all, that's where Fazlur Rehman lives...

Heres what I dont get: The only people who benefit by him being alive - is us! If Al Queda wakes up one day and says 'yeah, you guys are right, you got him - he dead, were sad, but the show must go on". The euros will then come out and say "ok, youve got your guy, so we're going home and declaring victory'
There is no greater way for al qaeda to shatter the 'alliance' against terror than by coming out with that kind of news.
Think if it - if he is alive( which I think is increasingly not likely ) he is talking, and if hes talking we are listening and rounding up his people at a furious pace, if hes dead, things go quiet. It hard to track silence.

Missing Muslim scholar Abu Qatada, suspected of being a key Al-Qaeda operative, has sent an e-mail calling on Muslims here to martyr themselves. The e-mail from the Palestinian-born religious scholar was read out to a meeting of Muslims in London on Friday night, July 12. âI have never felt more confident of the victory of almighty Allah and never more certain that the faith will be victorious,â the e-mail read, according to the paper. Qatada said Muslims were now in a time of calamity. âThe time of victory is near. All over the world Muslims are sacrificing more and contributing more to the struggle,â the message said. âMay Allah accept us all to be martyred,â Qatada said at the end of his e-mail. It doesn't sound like this Wahhabi bastard's been turned. It would be a grand idea, though, if he was first in line for shaheed.

great going bro, may Allah help you and all of us, we say yes to your call.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
