King Abdullah of Jordan is none to please about the United States threats to cut off financial to his country (Photo from AFP) When we act like this, it makes it really hard for anyone who knows the entire story for us to continue screaming at the nutcase Ahmadinejad and more sanctions on his Supreme Leader's final say government . The United States has threatened to cut financial aid to Jordan, if the Hashemite Kingdom continues to develop its nuclear program without coordinating with Israel, the Arab media reported on Monday. The American threat comes after Amman rejected Israeli demands to participate in extraction and enrichment of uranium, and Jordan's failure to obtain US approval for its nuclear plan, despite talks between the two parties, which lasted six months. According to reports, the ultimatum was probably given to Amman days after US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judah. This action by our State Department giv...

Boy, Do They Have Some Nerve

And continuing from the post right below this one, Ahmadinejad gets brazen with Obama again: President Ahmadinejad on Thursday criticised US President Barack Obama for his condemnation earlier this week of the violence in Iran. "Our question is why he fell into this trap and said things that previously [former US President George W] Bush used to say," he was quoted by the semi-official Fars news agency as saying. And Kim Jong II throws his two cents in, threatening major nuclear warnings based off the U.S. and South korea striking a deal. You got to love these leaders and their bluster. And you love their bluster even more, because if it wasn't bluster, this world would be in much more calamity than it already is in.

That appears to be the case. The election chief and the state media in Iran have declared Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the winner. But funny business is in full galore, and street protest are going down. More later, but the site has got to be defrosted and not dormant anymore today. Obama with his weekly address, again, pushing health care talk: And, as always, Luda! Saturday (Oooh! Ooooh!) - Ludacris Update : Mousavi has apparently been arrested . Wow.

The Sleep Time and Rise "n" Shine Thread for 6/11-12/09: 2009 Iranian Elections-Do Some Neo-Cons Want Ahmadinejad To Win Today?

Photo from Newscom/Sipa Press Imagine if Lex Luthor secretly wanted Superman to be okay. Or that Red Sox fans wanted the Yankees to win just so that the American League can have bragging rights. Or that Bill O'Liely wanted Keith to continue to making him look like the liar he is each night. You get all the analogies right now, because all three happening are totally unfathomable. And from pure common sense, you would think the same about American neo-conservatives (and some right wing extremists in Israel) wanting Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to win today in Tehran and throughout. Unfathomable right? Well.......... They actually want Ahmadinejad to win it seems . Yup, you read right, they actually do. Now for some readers, this may not come as a surprise at all. But the others including myself, when driving into the last days of the now neck and neck race between the controversial president and his fierce challenger reformist Hossein Mousavi, it is at first totally unexpected to see the pe...
