The Obama administration took the unusual step Saturday night, Jan. 30, of leaking word to major US media that the United States, Saudi Arabia and Gulf allies - the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Bahrain - have accelerated the deployment of new defenses against possible Iranian missile attacks. They are preparing for Iran, or its surrogate Hizballah, to hit back for a possible US or strikes on Tehran's nuclear facilities.

Historical facts of the dangers of guns versus doctors in the United States

Something to think about...

Number of gun owners in the U.S.: 80,000,000

Number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups): 1,500

Accidental deaths per gun owner: 0.0000188

Number of physicians in the U.S.: 700,000

Number of accidental deaths caused by physicians per year (all age
groups): 120,000

Accidental deaths per physician: 0.171 (U.S. Dept. of Health & Human
Services)

Statistically, Doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than
gun owners.

FACT: Not everyone has a gun, but everyone has at least one doctor.
Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors
before this gets out of hand. (As a public health measure, statistics on
lawyers were withheld for fear that the shock could cause people to seek
medical aid.)

Reid’s racist remarks are just the frosting on this cake of corruption

clipped from www.timesheraldonline.com

It is way past time for Sen. Harry Reid to hang it up and get out. The racist remarks he made are just the frosting on this cake of corruption in this new administration.

No one in either party should be allowed in office if they speak this trash against the President of the United States.

If Sen. Reid can get away with his hurtful feelings, then why can't Michael Richards of "Seinfeld"? Remember that?

Bow out, Sen. Reid. You've made enough money off the people's dime.

Time for Reid to go

Selling weapons to Arab Nations

clipped from www.haaretz.com

The United States has recently signed major arms deals with several Arab states. Israeli officials have expressed concern at the scope and content of the agreements. Among the recipients of the advanced arms included in the agreements are Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates. The shipments are to include anti-ship and antitank missiles as well as so-called smart and bunker-busting bombs.

In December the Pentagon notified Congress of several arms deals it wanted to carry out. The details of the deals were also posted on the Pentagon website. In its report to Congress the Department of Defense noted that none of the deals would "alter the military balance in the region."
