Britannia's Watchful Eye

Pocket theocracies are creepy places. Sudan is K'ran land where teddy bears are alive and free thinking children under gentle influence from foreign free female humanitarians -no less - provoke potential application of unreal cruelty of customs, laws and traditions.

Ruled by an intolerant, nonegalitarian sha ria law loving preachers paradise, Sudan is the former standby hood for Al Qaeda pre Taliban.

And it shows. Major exports are genocide, intolerance and a bizarro absolute militant mohammedist male superiority concept of shame and honor that seems at times to be between the legs of their sisters, daughters, nieces and girl cousins.

In these ungentle clutches fall a British citizen.

Long ago a British citizen in Greece had his property seized and was imprisoned in a controlled area by secret police. Great Britain protested. Royal Navy's Fleet Med sailed into Athens harbour targeting and seizing the regime's precious assets. The international outcry was tremendous - and tremendously

"A British subject, in whatever land they may be, shall feel confident that the
watchful eye and strong arm of Britain will protect them against injustice and
wrong."

The crisis rapidly ended. Great Britain got her children back safe and sound.

This is significant - the pioneer of such robust intolerance incineration was Lord Palmerston - who later as PM used the Royal Navy to put paid to the slave trade.

Great Britain wielded soft power on Her daughter's behalf - enlisting the British Muslim Council's rasion detente with kindred spirits in Khartoum. Ibrahim Mogra's appeal for mercy revealed functional democracies are also enlightened societies.

"We have been calling on the Sudanese authorities to show leniency, that this
was a case of an innocent oversight, a misunderstanding, and there was no need
for this to be escalated."

Even Islamic Rage Boy is sitting this one out.

Great Britain's Foreign Sec Foreign Secretary the Rt Hon (Right HOT in Pierre Cardin) David Millibank stated Britanica was

" extremely disappointed that the charges against Gillian Gibbons were not
dismissed. As I said this morning, our clear view is that this is an innocent
misunderstanding by a dedicated teacher..."

was

"...expressed in the strongest terms."

throughout the evening in an especial 45 minute meeting. Tea was neither offered nor served.

Perhaps soft power and the subtle nuances of negotiation, friendly give and take persuaded the Islamic Courts of Khartoum's super timely exit right before Mosque Day.

Legal analysts said they would be surprised if she served the full
sentence. They said that the sentence, reached after eight hours of
deliberations, was carefully calibrated to reduce domestic tensions.

Or maybe it was the Foreign Secretary and the memory of Lord Palmerston.

News of such unislamic mercies granted to infidels is causing tension after Friday Prayers near the President For Life's Presidential Palace in Martyrs Square.

Mohammedist messenger Abdul-Jalil Nazeer al-Karouri was exceedingly dissed the blood thirst is denied.

"Imprisoning this lady does not satisfy the thirst of Muslims in Sudan. This
arrogant woman who came to our country, cashing her salary in dollars, teaching
our children hatred."

Meanwhile Britainnia upgrades her long arm

Additional Desert Hawk III UAVs from Lockheed Martin announced Nov 28. The
order is the latest in a series of contracts going back several years to equip
the British military with the miniature intelligence, surveillance and
reconnaissance UAV.

Sharpens her Watchful Eye:

450 tactical and Predator medium-altitude, long-endurance UAVs have both
been added to British capabilities in theater recently.

rejecting Kipling's prophecy (the best ever memorial to the Great Satan's Favourite Uncle ever.)

"Far-called, our navies melt away; On dune and headland sinks the fire: Lo, all our pomp of yesterday Is one with Nineveh and Tyre! Judge of the Nations, spare us yet, Lest we forget - lest we forget."

Touchy Towards Taiwan

China's got game - a seat at the UN Sec Council and a veto for sale. China is hip -fully crunk with high tech - able to shoot down capitalist satellites and launch more than astronauts.

A mean scary military machine is de rigeur for the hood. After all she's got nuclear NoKo on the south 40, Caliphates crunk up next door in nuclear Pakistan, borders with both nuclear Russia and nuclear India. China could launch a world of hurt at any chicanery she doesn't cotton to.

So why is China's new Navy built around amphibious invasions?

China’s naval forces include 72 principal combat warships, some 58 attack submarines, about 50 medium and heavy amphibious lift vessels, and approximately 41 coastal missile patrol craft. China also fields over 700 attack aircraft.

President Hu's '5 No's' explain everything. Perfectly clear what will unleash this armada:

a formal declaration of independence or a military alliance by Taiwan with a foreign power, or foreign intervention in Taiwan's internal affairs. Delays in resumption of cross-Strait dialogue, and an unwillingness to negotiate on the basis of 'one China'. Taiwan's acquisition of nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction internal unrest or turmoil on Taiwan

China is totally tripping over Taiwan. Long considered a rebellious province that would one day be welcomed back in to Mother China (ala Hong Kong) China has a jealous eye towards her democratic, successful, rich, little sister. And a crazy intolerance for a hip, free and fun sister (who hasn't bothered anybody) to be independent. Or a homie of the Great Satan.

The Great Satan recently toured the Far East with stops in Japan, SoKo and China. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates got the red carpet treatment with an especial gig at Beijing's Forbidden Palace.

The Great Satan pointed out how uncool the unannounced satellte shoot was, how provocative Chinese subs stalking one of the Great Satan's precious regime changers like Kitty Hawk could be. The Great Dragon and the Great Satan agreed to agree and built a magical hotline to avoid such disses in the future.

"We discussed the need to move forward and deepen our military-to-military dialogue, including that on nuclear policy strategy and doctrine."

How ironic that the super friends hotline wasn't online when the Great Satan toured Tiawan the next month with a sweet best friends for ever missile deal that could annihilate amphibious assaults.

China let everyone know she was flat out freaked that the Great Satan would honour an agent of free thinking like the Dalai Lama. Zhang Qingli, the new hand picked Communist Party secretary for recently crushed Tibet made sure the hotline was online this time:

"We are furious"

While many explanations are offered for the recent retardedness at Hong Kong - Is Taiwan the reason Red China freaked out and acted like a dissed ho with the USS Kitty Hawk?

The Great Satan is proud of that.

"Something That Is Not There"

Palestinian Sympathy Fatigue finally wears out Saudi Foreign Minister HRH Prince Saud al-Faisal enough to take his day gig seriously again.

"We will not do anything that will divert from the seriousness of the occasion.
Shaking hands. To give an impression of something that is not there."

Annapolis is sweet. Corrupt royalty in Ray Bans long suffered by the Great Satan acts out in Little Satan's homage. Refusing to engage in such pleasantries is significant.

HRH Prince Faisal's policy, personally driven for over 30 years is driving right off the road.

For years the Arab League has complained, dissed, denied, unrecognized, fought and terrorized a nigh indestructable tiny minority of rich democratic egalitarian tolerants with a nigh undefeatable military she wields far above her weight class.

Arab consensus is off the hook. Expertly christened the Little Satan - all the ME's problems are from Israel. Al-Jazeera's commandant editor Ahmed Sheikh explains:

The Palestinian cause is central for Arab thinking. It’s because we always lose
to Israel. It gnaws at the people in the Middle East that such a small country
as Israel, with only about 7 million inhabitants, can defeat the Arab nation
with its 350 million. That hurts our collective ego. The Palestinian problem is
in the genes of every Arab. The West’s problem is that it does not understand
this.

Au contraire, The West understands it perfectly. It's intolerance.

In many Arab states, the middle class is disappearing. The rich get richer and
the poor get still poorer. Look at the schools in Jordan, Egypt or Morocco: You
have up to 70 youngsters crammed together in a single classroom. How can a
teacher do his job in such circumstances? The public hospitals are also in a
hopeless condition. These are just examples. They show how hopeless the
situation is for us in the Middle East.

Shouldn't failed leaders of failing societies and failed nations admit their failure? Heck no!

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of the most important reasons why these
crises and problems continue to simmer. The day when Israel was founded created
the basis for our problems. The West should finally come to understand this.

The Annapolis Awakening may be the Great Satan's final confrontation with the casus belle for the Arab world's raison d'retarde'. The Saudi's very own Arab League proposal to officially recognize is the first step toward healing an entire region. Admitting failure, admitting Israel and admitting something quite revealing:

Annapolis shows that the Palestinians, Israelis or the Arab League have not reached an unbearable discomfort level.

Peace is made between enemies. Peace is made between winners and losers.

A better case could be made that all this never ending, on again, off again Tenet plans, roadmaps and Sharm Al Sheiks to negotiate Israeli-Palestinian peace make the problem worse, not better. Peace has never came from subtle nuamces, negotiations and diplomacy.

Peace is made when one side screams "Mercy! Please! Stop!"

Regardless of the papparazzi and P.R. sales - Anwar Sadat's trip to Israel wasn't a sign post on a Road Map. The peace deal cut between Jordan and Israel was never an agenda on any international conference. Israel, Jordan and Egypt needed peace.

The potential preachers paradise sharia satellite of Iran is too busy consolidating power in Gaza the old school way with AK's, masks and militias. Totally booked up plotting an especial reunification with the WB.

Fatah's remixed PL Old school seem comfy being a client state - more interested in dealing with the HAMAS, foreign donations and honoring dead terror leaders (traditionally themed with shaeed martyrs, victims and blood). Abbas' posse are like Chancellor Palpatine in Star Wars III. Fearful only of losing power.

Israel's economy is off the hook. Honking and growing - making the Little Satan less likely to risk any changes in her client state's status.

The HAMAS has diplomatically backed itself into a very tight and dangerous corner.

Little Satan's elected leader laughs it off, enjoying the double entrappping tripple entendre' the Arab League and the HAMAS risable diplomatic agilities provide. And don't forget HRH Prince Faisal of Saud who made such an homage possible:

"I am happy he is here."

Magic Man

There is an ancient tune from way back in the last millennium by one of Great Satan's classic treasures. Guys and girls in a killer band from San Fran Land, just like their older peers who xformed 'rock and roll' to 'rock' xformed 'hard rock' into 'classic rock'

One of Heart's endearing tunes is called 'Magic Man.'

Tripping about, dripping with sex and candy the hottie girl singer finally confesses that magic man

"He's got the magic hands"

Whoa! This is significant

Perhaps one of the most endearing features about cool cat Ex Def Sec Donald Rumsfeld are the archaicly up to date signs and wonders he weilds when making points.

Sec Rumsfeld's hand gestures are awesome, and though older guys are in a class by themselves desirability wise - it would be dishonest for a certain element to deny that if Uncle Donald wove his spell in the flesh along with copius amounts of a certain elixir, a girl would most likely succumb and lay there - wiggling and giggling.

Annapolis Awakening

The Annapolis Awakening features sweet grand strategy by the Great Satan: The Encirclement of the Islamic Republic's increasingly aggressive, assertive Khomeinist Mohammedist theocracy in Tehran and the isolation of Iran's minions: Syria, Hiz'B'Allah in Lebanon and the HAMAS in Gaza is off the hook.

Like the martyrs they represent, HAMAS spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri openly endorses isolation - shocked that the Arab Leauge would even meet with Israel:

"The announcement of the Arabs that they would participate in the Annapolis
conference was a great shock for the Palestinian people. Participation opens
doors for normalization of relations with Israel."

This is significant The 22 member Arab League last teased the Little Satan with such sweet Official Reckoning in the Saudi Peace Plan of 2002. Remixed for Annapolis, Israel is teased again.

"To consider the Arab-Israeli conflict over and to enter into a peace treaty
with Israel amd to establish normal relations within the context of
comprehensive peace with Israel."

Jordan and Egypt are charter members of the League. Both have started and lost wars of aggression against a democratic member of the UN repeatedly. Both made peace and officially recognised the Little Satan.

If Jordan and Egypt (at one time rulers and administrators for the same hood that is Palestine) can recognize, negotiate, cut and honor peace deals with Israel - if the entire Arab League can openly advocate recognition - then what the heck is so magical about the HAMAS or Lions of Syria that they cannot?

Official Recognition of Israel (let alone mention as a Jewish state) would be totally trippin' for a self described radical movement motivated by martydom, mayhem and militant Mohammedism. (PBUH).

Not only for the HAMAS. Hiz'B'Allah is also shocked that their patron state Syria would attend: Deputy Chief Shiekh Naim Kassem complained

"He who looks at the preparations for the Annapolis conference finds that it has
no gains for the Palestinians."

Declaring the HAMAS held Gaza a hostile entity - while issuing invites to coffee, the Little Satan uses the Arab League and the West Bank to isolate Tehran's Gaza command.

The HAMAS acknowledges Syrian and Iranian WMD comnnections and threatens Israel with gussied up k'ssam rockets and scary new warheads:

"They can be developed in a short period to create sufficient terror and fear and make the Israelis live in pain"

Illegitimate regimes hooking up fiefdoms with WMD? That's casus belle enough for the Great Satan to take both down.


The Arab League recognises the asymetrical hudna. Hassan Nafaa, the head of Cairo University's political science department implies the Great Satan is courting the League

" to muster Arab support for a possible U.S. strike on Iran."

Free media in the Little Satan hits on the same idea:

"The most frequent explanation is that Rice and Bush are championing Palestinian
statehood in a bid to mobilize a coalition of Sunni Arab states to cooperate
with the US against Iran."

The Annapolis Awakening is one of the final touches on a brilliantly successful grand strategy by the Great Satan. The Encirclement of the Islamic Republic of Iran and her isolated minions is nigh complete.

In Memory of Casey Calvert

One of the songs that made Hawthorne Heights into the successful heralds of modern rock is called "Pins and Needles" The haunting refrain - urgently driven with 3 guitars effectively puts the E in Emo.

"...And All I Have is the memory of what was..."

This is significant. Casey's song touched the lives of a lot of people. It was so true and so meaningful. Difficult to explain. Growing up fast in the new millenium is uncertain.

"drive into the cold and dark with fingers crossed"

Tragedy struck the music world as news and speculation fueled grief over the death of Casey Calvert.The guitarist for Hawthorne Heights - a creative, talented guy- survived by his wife and yet unborn child. Only 26, Casey earned the respect of peers in the music indusrty, tons of fans and a true love with his talented artistic endeavours. Commercial, popular, optomistic - Hawthorne Heights Rocks. Official Press Release

"Today is probably the worst day ever. Its with our deepest regrets that we have
to write this. Casey Calvert passed away in his sleep last night. We found out
this afternoon before sound-check. We've spent the entire day trying to come to
grips with this and figure out as much as possible. At this time we're not sure
what exactly happened. Just last night he was joking around with everyone before
he went to bed. We can say with absolute certainty that he was not doing
anything illegal. Please, out of respect to Casey and his family, don't
contribute or succumb to any gossip you may hear. We don't want his memory to be
tainted in the least. Casey was our best friend. He was quirky and awesome and
there will truly be no others like him! His loss is unexplainable. As soon as we
know more we will let you know"

Rest In Peace Casey. We miss You.

"...And all I have - is a memory of what was..."

The Indirect Approach

Prominent cats have recently advocated the Great Satan using the military option on the table to bring Iran back to the table. Clear, timely communications like bunker busting swift spinning centrifuges or vaporizing IRRG HQ's.

"The Iranian people are smart enought to recognize the difference between an
invasion and an attack on their unpopular regime." Ex UN Ambassa John Bolton.

"The day after'" would be scary and dangerous. Anything less than a total regime killing, regime decapitating regime change and the Islamic Republic would unleash pure heck - from a surge of their own into Iraq to unleashing Hiz'B'Allah to act out anywhere in the world, and really bring jihad to the Great Satan.

All true. Finger crossing aside, inaction unhappily calls into play how an Islamic Republic with deployable nukes would unleash pure heck.

Could the military option actually convince Iran to halt enrichment? An indirect approach?

"In strategy the longest way round is often the shortest way there; a direct
approach to the object exhausts the attacker and hardens the resistance by
compression, whereas an indirect approach loosens the defender's hold by
upsetting his balance."

This is significant. Attacking the B'Kah Valley in Lebanon is totally legit - Security Council Resolutions negotiated, democratically achieved by veto powered members make a case for intervention and the indirect approach.

UNSCR 1559 calls Syria to split from and end its interference in Lebanon.
UNSCR 1701 calls for the disarmament of Hizballah

The Be Kah Valley is the hood for Hiz'B'Allah. The original sharia law loving super villian caliphate. The Great Satan claims just vengence as the 1st Battalon 8th Marines redeems a blood debt.

"Bekaa is Hezbollah's lifeline to the outside world (especially at a time of war). Moreover, any form of Syrian or Iranian assistance comes to Hezbollah
through this area. Hezbollah's training facilities are spread across the Bekaa -- facilities that are vital, especially to a nonstate actor like Hezbollah, dependent upon support from Damascus and Tehran."

Geographically the B'Kah Valley looks like a magical panzer magnet to downtown Damascus and beyond. The Little Satan has extensive experience against Hiz'B'Allah in the July August War of 2006 . The Little Satan's Air Force recently dissed Syria's conventional wisdom to the Nth.

Attacking the B'Kah Valley is absolutely is essential to stymie Syrian designs in Lebanon. Confidential sources indicate the BKV:

"...is far more important for Syria, not just because of the country's historic
role as the patron of Hezbollah, but also because of its ambitions for Lebanon".

Such a pre emptive, preventive wicki smack by the Great Satan would most likely be interpeted in Damascus that

Supporting Hizbollah carries a prohibitive price Syria could respond with
missile attacks against Israeli cities, but given the dilapidated state of
Syria's army, the chances are greater that Assad will simply internalize the
message.

It would also have the happy effect of drawing a client of Russian Air Defenseless Systems out of Iran's orbit and marginalizing Syrian influence in Lebanon and Iraq. Completing the Great Satan's Encirclement of Iran, whose fiery rhetoric is begining to sound old, played, flat out freaked out and desperate.

"Syrian ground forces deployed near the Lebanese border would be fair targets.
By eliminating 500 Syrian tanks--tanks that Syrian President Bashar Al Assad
needs to preserve his regime and presented with a choice between saving
Hezbollah and staying alive, Syria's dictator will choose the latter."

Removing a valued weapon like HBA out of Iran's armory will further unhinge the Mullah's who are increasingly isolated and may soon have their backs to the wall. The IR's economy would not be able to rebuild both the B'Kah and Hiz'B'Allah.

"Any course of military action carries risks, especially in the unpredictable ME.
The Six Day War presents a paradigm of an unwanted war that might never have
happend if a well placed strike at Syria had been undertaken."

Attacking the B'Kah Valley may be just the thing. The indirect approach.
