In turnabout, Iraq seeking new counterterror aid from US 2 years after troop withdrawal - The Washington Post
In turnabout, Iraq seeking new counterterror aid from US 2 years after troop withdrawal - The Washington Post
"If the U.S. does not commit to providing the weapons or other aid quickly, “we will go elsewhere,” Faily ( Iraqi Ambassador to the US) said. That means Iraq will step up diplomacy with nations like China or Russia that would be more than happy to increase their influence in Baghdad at U.S. expense."

"For Gud og fædreland: Geronimo EKIA"
”For Gud og fædreland
melder jeg at Geronimo er neutraliseret. Geronimo EKIA.”
Radiomelding
fra amerikansk SEAL-soldat, som tog del i operationen mod Bin Laden, til hans
militære øverstbefalende Admiral McRaven få minutter efter Bin Laden blev skudt
og dræbt. Sted: Bin Ladens Compund (hus) i
Abbottabad i Pakistan, 2. sal. Dato: 2. maj cirka en time efter midnat
lokal tid. Geronimo var kodeordet for Osama Bin Laden. EKIA betyder enemy
killed in action – fjende dræbt i kamp. Citatet er fra bogen ”En svær dag”. Forfatter:
Mark Owen. People’s Press. 2012. Engelsk originaltitel: ”No easy day”
”Retten er sket fyldest: De Forenede Stater har gennemført en operation, der dræbte Osama Bin Laden”
Tale af præsident Obama om Osama Bin Laden
Det østlige rum i Det Hvide Hus, den 2. maj 2011
God aften. I aften kan jeg rapportere til det amerikanske folk og til verden, at De Forenede Stater har gennemført en operation, der dræbte Osama Bin Laden, lederen af al Qaeda og en terrorist, der var ansvarlig for drabene på tusindvis af uskyldige mænd, kvinder og børn.
Det er næsten 10 år siden, at en klar septemberdag blev formørket af det værste angreb på det amerikanske folk i vores historie. Billederne fra 9/11 er ætset ind i vores nationale hukommelse – kaprede fly, som skærer sig igennem en skyfri september himmel, tvillingetårnene, som kollapser ned på jorden, sort røg der stiger op fra Pentagon, vraget af Flight 93 i Shanksville i Pennsylvania, hvor modige borgeres handlinger reddede os fra endnu mere hjertesorg og ødelæggelse.
Og dog ved vi, at de værste billeder er dem, som verden ikke så. Den tomme stol ved middagsbordet. Børn, som blev tvunget til at vokse op uden deres mor eller deres far. Forældre som aldrig vil opleve følelsen af deres barns omfavnelse. Næsten 3000 borgere blev taget fra os og efterlod et gabende hul i vores hjerter. Den 11. september 2001 midt i vores sorg fandt det amerikanske folk sammen. Vi tilbød vores naboer en hjælpende hånd, og vi tilbød de sårede vores blod. Vi bekræftede på ny vores bånd til hinanden og vores kærlighed til fællesskabet i vores lokalsamfund og til vores land. På den dag – ligegyldigt hvor vi kom fra, hvilken Gud vi bad til eller hvilken race eller etnicitet vi tilhørte – var vi forenede som én amerikansk familie. ................

"According to the World Health Organization, “Female genital mutilation (FGM) comprises all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons.”Female genital mutilation violates the rights of women to life, health and bodily integrity, non-discrimination, and the right not to be subjected to cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment. In addition, since the practice predominantly affects girls under 18, it also violates children’s rights to health, life, physical integrity, and non-discrimination."

At BYU, George Will decries 'decadent democracy,' worries with LDS about religious liberty | Deseret News
""For all the talk about the discord in Washington," he said, " … the temperatures are high because the stakes are high. For all the argument about that, America's biggest problem today is a consensus that is as broad as the Republic and as deep as the Grand Canyon, and the consensus is we should have a large, generous, omnipresent, omniprovident welfare state and not pay for it. Everyone's agreed on this. The costs should be fobbed off on future generations." Read the rest in:

Tale af præsident Obama om Osama Bin Laden
Det østlige rum i Det
Hvide Hus, den 2. maj 2011
God aften. I
aften kan jeg rapportere til det amerikanske folk og til verden, at De Forenede
Stater har gennemført en operation, der dræbte Osama Bin Laden, lederen af al
Qaeda og en terrorist, der var ansvarlig for drabene på tusindvis af uskyldige
mænd, kvinder og børn.
Det er
næsten 10 år siden, at en klar septemberdag blev formørket af det værste angreb
på det amerikanske folk i vores historie. Billederne fra 9/11 er ætset ind i
vores nationale hukommelse – kaprede fly, som skærer sig igennem en skyfri
september himmel, tvillingetårnene, som kollapser ned på jorden, sort røg der
stiger op fra Pentagon, vraget af Flight 93 i Shanksville i Pennsylvania, hvor
modige borgeres handlinger reddede os fra endnu mere hjertesorg og ødelæggelse.
Og dog ved
vi, at de værste billeder er dem, som verden ikke så. Den tomme stol ved
middagsbordet. Børn, som blev tvunget til at vokse op uden deres mor eller
deres far. Forældre som aldrig vil opleve følelsen af deres barns omfavnelse.
Næsten 3000 borgere blev taget fra os og efterlod et gabende hul i vores
hjerter. Den 11. september 2001 midt i vores sorg fandt det amerikanske folk
sammen. Vi tilbød vores naboer en hjælpende hånd, og vi tilbød de sårede vores
blod. Vi bekræftede på ny vores bånd til hinanden og vores kærlighed til fællesskabet
i vores lokalsamfund og til vores land. På den dag – ligegyldigt hvor vi kom
fra, hvilken Gud vi bad til eller hvilken race eller etnicitet vi tilhørte –
var vi forenede som én amerikansk familie.
Takket være
vores militær og fagfolkene i vores terrorisme-bekæmpelse har vi henover de
seneste 10 år gjort store fremskridt på den front. Vi har
forpurret terrorangreb og styrket beskyttelsen af vores hjemland. I Afghanistan
har vi fjernet Taliban regeringen, som havde forsynet Bin Laden med støtte og
et sikkert tilflugtssted. Og rundt omkring på kloden arbejdede vi sammen vores
venner og allierede for at fange eller dræbe snesevis af al Qaeda terrorister,
heriblandt flere, som var en del af 9/11 sammensværgelsen.
Men
alligevel undgik Osama bin Laden tilfangetagelse og undslap ind i Pakistan over
den afghanske grænse. I mellemtiden
fortsatte al Qaeda med at operere hen over og langs denne grænse og operere
gennem sine partnere rundt omkring i verden.
Så kort tid
efter jeg indtog dette embede, beordrede jeg Leon Panetta, lederen af CIA, til
at gøre drabet eller tilfangetagelsen af Bin Laden til topprioriteten i vores
krig mod al Qeada, selv mens vi fortsatte vores bredere indsats for at
forstyrre, afvikle og besejre hans netværk.

A JUST INTEGRATION SOLUTION: HOW EVANGELICALS AND IMMIGRANTS CAN PARTNER IN HEALING OUR NATION.
A JUST INTEGRATION SOLUTION: HOW EVANGELICALS AND IMMIGRANTS CAN
PARTNER IN HEALING OUR NATION.
BY Rev. Samuel Rodriguez
"On the other hand, immigrants must
understand that what makes one an
American is nothing less than an
allegiance and covenant with the
values of our Constitution, Declaration
of Independence and Bill of
Rights. Internalization and adherence to
those values obligates the immigrant to
embrace English as our language, focus
on our commonalities, and respect the
symbols of our Republic including the
American flag, while simultaneously
assimilating into the fullness of Life,
Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, the
American idea. "
Rev. Samuel Rodriguez
President of the National Hispanic
Christian Leadership Conference
http://www.nhclc.org/files/nhclc/PS%20Article.pdf
"
CNN named Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, “The leader of the Hispanic Evangelical movement”. The Wall St. Journal identified him as one of America’s 7 most influential Hispanic Leaders, and the only religious leader on the list. Meanwhile the San Francisco Chronicle described Samuel as one of the 6 Leaders of the New Evangelical Leadership. Charisma Magazine Identifies Rev. Samuel Rodriguez as America’s most influential spirit-filled Christian Leader in the political sphere. By God’s Grace, Rev. Samuel Rodriguez stands as one of America’s Leading Christian Voices.
As one of Newsweek Magazine’s Top 12 People to Look For in 2008, and as the President of America’s Preeminent Latino Christian Organization, Samuel is regarded as one of the most prominent voices in the Kingdom of God and as the lead spokesperson for the 16 million strong Hispanic American Born Again Christian Community.
Featured, Profiled and quoted by the Washington Post, CNN, FOXNEWS, Bill Moyers, Chicago Tribune, Christianity Today, Newsweek, Univision, NY Times, The Wall St. Journal, Boston Globe, Atlanta Constitution, Ministries Today, and others as the Preeminent Leading Voice for Hispanic Born Again Believers in America, Sam lives to Build the Kingdom of God, reconciling a platform of righteousness and justice.
Rodriguez earned his Master’s degree in educational leadership from Lehigh University. Currently he pursues a doctoral degree in Organizational Management and Behavior."

1 I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. 2 Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. 3 This is good and pleases God our Savior, 4who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. 5 For there is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. 6 He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time. 7 And I have been chosen as a preacher and apostle to teach the Gentiles this message about faith and truth. I’m not exaggerating—just telling the truth.
8 In every place of worship, I want men to pray with holy hands lifted up to God, free from anger and controversy. "

How Pornography Works: It Hijacks the Male Brain – AlbertMohler.com
"We are fast becoming a pornographic society. Over the course of the last decade, explicitly sexual images have crept into advertising, marketing, and virtually every niche of American life. This ambient pornography is now almost everywhere, from the local shopping mall to prime-time television.
By some estimations, the production and sale of explicit pornography now represents the seventh-largest industry in America. New videos and internet pages are produced each week, with the digital revolution bringing a host of new delivery systems. Every new digital platform becomes a marketing opportunity for the pornography industry."
