Iron dome deployed by Israel in anticipation of retaliation

Israel carried out an air strike on Friday against missiles in Syria that were en-route from Iran to the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.

A Western intelligence source said Israel launched a second air strike on Sunday that also hit missiles in transit from Iran to Hezbollah.

In anticipation of retaliation Israel has deployed its Iron Dome mobile air defense missile launchers (shown above) which are designed to intercept and destroy short-range incoming rockets and artillery.

Assad’s shell game outmaneuvers Obama’s “red line”

As the White House attempts to decide whether Syria has crossed President Obama’s [constantly moving] “red line” and used chemical weapons, the U.S. military and intelligence community are quietly acknowledging that the United States does not know where many of those weapons are located.

Bashar al-Assad and Barack Hussein Obama

The assessment that Syria is moving large amounts of its chemical weapons around the country on trucks means that if Obama wanted to send in U.S. soldiers to secure Syria’s stockpiles, his top generals and intelligence analysts doubt such a mission would have much success, according to the three officials.

“We’ve lost track of lots of this stuff,” said one U.S. official. “We just don’t know where a lot of it is.”

It’s a shell game Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad is playing against Barack Hussein Obama.

By the way, aren’t these the same chemicals that were trucked out of Iraq when Iraq was invaded in 2003?

Trucks were seen at that time using night vision equipment heading for Syria.

Student arrested in Boston bombings case entered US without visa

According to a federal law enforcement official one of three college students arrested Wednesday in the Boston Marathon bombings case was allowed to return to the United States from Kazakhstan in January despite not having a valid student visa.

Authorities charged the student — a friend and classmate of one of the men accused of setting off the deadly explosions — with helping after the attacks to remove a laptop and backpack from the bombing suspect's dormitory room before the FBI searched it.

The government acknowledged that U.S. Customs and Border Protection was unaware that the student was no longer in school when he was let back into the United States.

Meanwhile we strip search granny and dismantle her wheelchair trying to find what she is hiding when all she wants to do is fly from Memphis to Springfield.

Full report of the students illegal entry to the U.S. is here.

Obama administration threatens Benghazi whistleblowers AND denies them legal representation

The Obama administration is trying its best to block State Department officials from telling the truth about the Benghazi attack.

At least four career officials at the State Department and the Central Intelligence Agency are attempting to retain lawyers as they prepare to provide sensitive information about the Benghazi attacks to Congress.

___________________________________

Now we find that the State Department is trying to block lawyers from representing the Benghazi whistleblowers (second link below).

Why? Is the Obama administration desperate to hide their neglect in protecting the four dead Americans in Benghazi and cover up the perjury of Hillary Clinton?

Obama sequester stunt fails as House passes bill to end FAA furloughs

The House passed a bill by a vote of 361-41 on Friday to end FAA furloughs.

The Senate has already passed the bill which now goes to the president to sign.

The FAA claims the furloughs were unavoidable. However, lawmakers say the agency could find the money elsewhere, by cutting spending on consultants and grant programs and in other areas.

California bill would let non-citizens serve on juries

The California Assembly passed a bill on Thursday that would make the state the first in the nation to allow non-citizens to serve on jury duty.

The bill passed 45-25 largely on a party-line vote in the Democratic-controlled Assembly and will move on to the Senate. One Democrat - Assemblyman Adam Gray, of Merced - voted no, while some other Democrats did not vote.

Why not just fly in foreigners from just any country to serve on juries?

It sounds like "trial by your peers" means something else in California.

Then again, with the steady increase in the illegal immigrant population in California coupled with the high crime rate of these people it may actually be “trial by your peers” much of the time.

Homeland Security buys 1,000 more ammunition rounds per person than Army

The Department of Homeland Security "massive" bullet buys are coming into question.

"It is entirely ... inexplicable why the Department of Homeland Security needs so much ammunition," Chaffetz, R-Utah, said at a hearing.

The hearing itself was unusual, as questions about the department's ammunition purchases until recently had bubbled largely under the radar -- on blogs and in the occasional news article.

But as the Department of Homeland Security found itself publicly defending the purchases, lawmakers gradually showed more interest in the issue.

Congresman Jason Chaffetz said the
Department of Homeland Security is buying between 1,300 and 1,600 rounds per officer, while the U.S. Army goes through roughly 350 rounds per soldier.

There are three possible explanations for "massive" bullet purchases by the DHS.

1. It may be waste by careless purchasing agents within the DHS.

2. The Obama administration wants to keep ammunition in short supply making it difficult for citizens to use their guns until the government is finally able to take their guns away.

3. The Obama administration is anticipating a citizen uprising and they may actually need their huge ammunition supply.

Story changes - now Boston bomb suspect NOT armed in boat showdown despite police firefight report

The story of the arrest of the younger Boston bombing suspect Dzhokar Tsarnaev has changed to fit the seemingly pro-Muslim White House view.

Two unnamed U.S. officials have told the Associated Press that the surviving suspect in the Boston bombings was unarmed when police captured him hiding inside a boat in a neighborhood back yard.

The report contradicts the Boston police department's own account of Dzhokar Tsarnaev's capture on Friday - after commissioner Ed Davies described a firefight between him and officers before the terror suspect was captured.

The New York Times also said an M4 rifle had been found on the boat - another claim contradicted by the latest revelations.

Officers had originally said they had exchanged gunfire with Tsarnaev for more than one hour Friday evening before they were able to subdue him.

One commenter wrote:

This is being frantically rescripted by the White House to promote:

1.The need for gun control.

2. Martial law must be tolerable for safety.

3. The bombers were lone wackos and Islam had nothing to do with the bombing.

4. The younger bomber is innocent because he is a victim who was mind controlled by the older brother.
