Mexican Zeta Kingpin's Demise
Is Good News For America, Too

Investor's Business Daily, by Editorial Original Article

Posted By: PageTurner- 10/11/2012 8:30:06 AM Post Reply

Americas: Knocking off the kingpin of a monstrous drug cartel won't end the war in Mexico. But the Mexican navy's killing of Zeta boss Heriberto Lazcano is nevertheless a big victory — and not just south of our border. aclgsLazcano, who was gunned down just 80 miles south of Laredo, Texas, ran the most powerful, treacherous and violent drug cartel in Mexico. A military deserter turned trafficker, Lazcano pioneered the most horrific spectacles of the drug war: beheadings; bodies dangling from bridges; heads posted on pikes, strewn across highways, thrown in front of schools, burned in cars and unearthed from mass graves.

Russians back a second

MOSCOW, Russia — Experts say the Kremlin would like to see President Barack Obama beat Mitt Romney in the US election next month — although you may be hard-pressed to divine that from recent developments. On Monday last week, the US Agency for International Development, USAID, wrapped up its 20 years of work in Russia on orders from the Kremlin. Two days later, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov took a swipe at Obama’s policy of improving ties with Russia by warning that perpetually “reset” relations would constitute a “program failure.”

Self-declared prince of sovereign
principality of Sealand dies aged 91

Paddy Roy Bates, who occupied an abandoned fort in the North Sea and declared it the sovereign Principality of Sealand with himself as its prince, has died aged 91, his son said on Wednesday. Michael Bates said his father died on Tuesday at a care home in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex. He had been suffering from Alzheimer's. In the 1960s, inspired by the "pirate radio" movement, Bates set up Radio Essex on an offshore fort. When that was closed down, he moved in 1966 to Fort Roughs

The first time I watched the Jimmy Stewart classic film, "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington", I was too young to appreciate how very insightful it was in describing how things work in our government. Many years later after joining our local tea party and getting involved in sending Michael Grimm to represent us in Congress, I was struck by how that movie presaged what he would expect in D.C.

VP Debate Drinking Game: Joe

It's not easy being vice president. Franklin Roosevelt's first veep, John Nance Garner, once compared the office unfavorably to a bucket of warm urine. Lyndon Johnson, while serving as John F. Kennedy's VP, told his forward-looking staff to leave him, that his future was behind him, that he was "finished." The job, in short, can be bleak. But for one day every four years, two people come together in front of a televised audience to tussle for the right to hold this dreary office. This time, the brave, doomed men who will face off in the vice-presidential debate

Beyond the realm of inconvenient truths, there's a dimension to which Bill Clinton occasionally retreats. It's a dimension of fertile imaginations, sound bites and mind games whose boundaries the gullible determine. In this wondrous land, tokes aren't inhaled, sex with interns isn't sex, and the meaning of “is” isn't always is. When Clinton wags his finger to punctuate a claim, like “no president — not me or any of my predecessors — could have repaired all the damage in just four years,” it's his poker “tell.” Next stop: the Twilight Zone.

With less than a month to the most crucial election of our lifetime, we’re now all headed down the last mile; a long and treacherous last mile, well strewn with booby-traps. Lies, propaganda and manufactured confusion are the trademark of Election 2012. Tweeters are taking to the Net claiming they will start riots and claiming they will flood countries like Canada should Mitt Romney win.

The mother of five talked about her struggle with multiple sclerosis and introduced viewers to her favourite recipes - but steered well clear of controversial political issues. Scroll down for video

Got Racism?

Liberal racism sightings have become like a lunatic's version of "Where's Waldo?" Kevin Baker of Harper's magazine says Romney's referring to his "five boys" in last week's debate was how he "slyly found a way" to call Obama a "boy." Says Baker: "How the right's hard-core racists must have howled at that!" (Snip) Meanwhile, my new favorite actress, Stacey Dash, sends an inoffensive little tweet supporting Mitt Romney and is buried in tweets calling her "an indoor slave" and a "jiggaboo," who was "slutting (herself) to the white man."

On the heels of last week's presidential debate, Mitt Romney has emerged with a one-point edge over President Obama in Colorado and has cut the president's lead in half in Wisconsin, according to a new Quinnipiac University/CBS News/New York Times poll. In Wisconsin, where Mr. Obama led Romney by six percent last month, the president now holds just a three-point advantage, with 50 percent to Romney's 47 percent support. Last month, the president led Romney 51 to 45 percent. In Colorado, the two remain locked in a dead heat, with Romney leading Mr. Obama 48 percent to 47 percent,

Obama and the L-Word

The election campaign of the 44th U.S. president is now calling another candidate for the American presidency a "liar." This is a new low. It is amazing and depressing to hear this term being used as a formal strategy by people at the highest level of American politics. "Liar" is a potent and ugly word with a sleazy political pedigree. But "liar" is not being deployed only by party attack dogs or the Daily Kos comment queue. Mitt Romney is being called a "liar" by officials at the top of the Obama re-election campaign.

ISTANBUL — Turkish state-run television TRT reported Thursday that a Syrian passenger plane intercepted by Turkey's air force was carrying military communications equipment, as Damascus branded the incident piracy amid growing tensions between the two countries. Yeni Safak, a newspaper close to the Turkish government, reported there were 10 containers aboard the plane, some containing radio receivers, antennas and "equipment that are thought to be missile parts." Neither TRT nor the newspaper cited sources for their reports, and Turkish officials have yet

A Yemeni man working on security issues with the US embassy in the capital Sanaa has been killed in a drive-by shooting. Qassem Aqlani was going to work when he was shot dead by a man on a motorbike, Yemeni and embassy officials said. Mr Aqlani had worked at the embassy for nearly 20 years, AP news agency said. According to another report, he was in charge of co-ordinating an investigation into an attack on the embassy last month. During protests against an anti-Islam film made in the US, demonstrators briefly stormed the embassy grounds and burnt the US flag.

Sanaa, Yemen – Yemeni security officials say a gunman has assassinated the Yemeni chief of security at the U.S. Embassy in Sanaa. The officials say Qassem Aqlani, who was in his fifties, was shot dead while on his way to work early on Thursday. They say a gunman on a motorcycle opened fire at him and fled the scene. Aqlani had been working for the U.S. Embassy in the Yemeni capital for nearly 20 years. The Yemeni officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. The attack comes as Yemen's U.S.-backed government is waging

It's been a week since a 90-minute debate shifted the narrative of the 2012 election.

WASHINGTON -- Well, apparently I am not crazy after all. The polls have caught up with me, and they -- après le débat -- are coming around to my point of view. Governor Mitt Romney is ahead in the race for the White House, and let me add he will probably be residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in 2013. I have been saying it for weeks, recognizing that the polls are weighted too heavily toward the Democratic candidate, employ too small a sampling -- as little as nine percent of the electorate --

Lance Armstrong stands unmasked

Lance Armstrong’s fall from grace has been widely described as the tragedy of an athlete who succumbed to the temptation of doping to enhance performance out of competitive zeal. Now, though, the all-American boy is unmasked as a species far worse than the Olympians and baseball players who have boosted speed and strength via chemistry. He is a fraud to the jazzed-up marrow of his bones. He is a bald-faced liar to the public and under oath to investigators. And he is a thug who attempted to conceal his systemic cheating with threats and intimidation. So says the United States Anti-Doping Agency

The Dividends of

How big an impact did Mitt Romney's performance in last week's debate have? Huge. Mr. Romney not only won the night, he changed the arc of the election—and perhaps its outcome. Surveys have him leading the RealClearPolitics average of polls for the first time since securing the GOP nomination in mid-April. Prior to Oct. 3, Mr. Romney trailed President Barack Obama by an average of 3.1 points in national polls tallied by RealClearPolitics. Since the debate, Mr. Romney now leads Mr. Obama in the RCP average by a point, 48.2% to 47.2%, and the bounce is likely to grow.

The mystery of what the administration knew and did both before and after the Benghazi attack continues to deepen. A former official in the Bush administration emails me a list of questions that need to be answered: 1) Why did the Libyan delegation have inadequate security? 2) Were there political or ideological factors that influenced the security decisions? 3) Why was it Susan Rice who spoke for the administration on the Sunday shows? Did the White House choose her, or did Hillary Clinton push her forward? Why was it not Clinton, who had the responsibility for the decisions, rather than Rice?

If anyone believed that Syria’s bloodshed would stay inside the country’s borders, the events of the last week should have put them right. I’m in southern Turkey, near the frontier with Syria, and this area feels like the new front line of the battle against Bashar al-Assad’s regime. Convoys of Turkish army vehicles ply the roads down to the border and, quietly, civilians are trickling away to safer areas. The reason is simple: cross-border artillery and mortar bombardments have become daily events. Last Friday, I went to the scene of the bloodiest incident so far, when

There is a line in “A Few Good Men” that I think of every time someone complains about the “good ol’ boys” club. A frustrated Cdr. Galloway (Demi Moore), having failed to outmaneuver Lt. Kaffee (Tom Cruise), asks incredulously: “Is there anyone in this command that you don’t either drink or play softball with?” You can often get your way if you know the right people. I was reminded of this when I read The Daily Caller’s story today which revealed that President Barack Obama was a guest at the wedding of vice presidential debate moderator Martha Raddatz.
