Yep, as I predicted. A political decision, based on political pressure.
Sayonara, well-earned tax money. As far as military hardware goes, there were cheaper and really existing options available. But instead they are funding a US pie in the sky scheme with an open-ended invoice.

Bravo Canada! Get out of the power grab scam by the corrupt UN.
The one-worlders pushing this insane scheme could not care less about climate, or cooling or whatnot. It is a political power grab and extortion scheme by an unelected, self-serving elite.

Well, for once I have to agree with our favourite nutcase mayor. If Japan does not put her foot down, she´ll soon be looking at mainland China military base on the islands.

Corzine is a democrat supporter. So don´t hold your breath for mainstream media outrage. Their tunnel vision is firmly focussed...

The democrat leaning mainstream media must be desperate when that is the only "dirt" they can dig up on this guy. Making a bet with his own money? That is a story?? Pathetic.

It is insane. Watching the Eurocrats in Brussels trying to establish their EUSSR dictatorship against the will of their populations, one has to wonder if the conspiracy theorists are on to something with their illuminati and world government stuff.
It is embarrassing watching the Euro elites do this to their countries. And thanks to Cameron for finally standing up against, if even so feebly.

Indeed. He speaks the plain truth and expects to be the country's number one statesman? That is inded pretty much without precedent. What an outrage. Guess you have a point there.

Well sure, there are always some law breakers. But in this case, why would a guy who likes to drink go on a Hadj? That is a contradiction in terms.

serendipitous:
Yes, and so is "Palestine". But while the "Palestinians" have the choice between several dozen muslim Arab countries which represent their culture, the Jews have only Israel. Everwhere else, the Jewish populations are once again the targets of increasing discrimination.... and that is not even considering the muslim Arab world.
You see a balance there?

No matter what the muslim activist and their leftist sympathizers say, it is absurd to reserve the term "Palestinians" for muslim Arabs only.
When the UN resolution 181 was written from 1947, that propaganda term had not been invented:
"To foster cooperation among all the inhabitants of the city in their own interests as well as in order to encourage and support the peaceful development of the mutual relations between the two Palestinian peoples throughout the Holy Land;"
Note: THE TWO Palestinian people. Meaning the Jews and the muslim Arabs. Jews were correctly recognized by the UN as Palestinian people in 1947.

Of course he is talking about the future. And there is no doubt that such an earthquake will occur. But if it is tomorrow or in 10,000 years, nobody knows. So, without a date stemp, statements like this are pretty meaningless.

The term "Palestinian" to describe muslim Arabs was coined by Araft and has caught on; and it was indeed a brilliant ploy.
But that does not change the fact: There never was a separate cultural entity called "Palestine", unless that is what you call the ancient Jewish kingdom. Which of course makes the Jews the original "Palestinians".
It is sad to see how the media and politicians have bought into Arafats ploy to define muslim Arabs as "Palestinians", thus delegitimizing the Jews.
And it is great to see finally one US presidential contender to cut through the propaganda and tell the truth.

All 3 statements are basically true, and are simple facts, not "extremist". Your not liking facts does not make them extremist. Dig as much as you want --- you will not find a particual Arab "Palestinian" identiy. Palestine is the heartland of the original Jewish kingdom, and later a part of the Ottoman state. There is no Palestinian language, Palestinian culture, or Palestinian state. The definition of "Palestinians" as "muslim Arabs" was an invention of Arafat.
Do your homework, and you will see.

Gingrich is right. I am surprised that a US politician actually has the guts to say this.
It is easy to verify. Before around 72, the term "Palestinian" was simply used to describe what the word says: A resident of area of Palestine. Be they Arabs, Jews, Druze, or something else. The use of "Palestinians" to describe "muslim Arabs" only is an invention of the PLO, made in order to delegitimize Jews. And it worked brilliantly.
Three cheers for Gingrich for outing this politically correct scam.

That the big lender banks are in support of the new EU treaty is something you can easily verify. So it is plain that your claim that Cameron was controlled by banks is nonsense. Not a question of belief, just of doing your homework.

Sorry, but that is nonsense. The exact opposite is the case: The big PIIG lender banks are hell-bent on getting bailed out with ever more bailout funds. Cameron is pulling the break --- which is exactly the reason why Sarkozy is is so pissed off.
