| Russia's secret service has claimed that Al-Qaeda are behind spate of forest fires across Europe. The revelations come after deadly fires which have swept through forest land in the EU over the past few months. Only last week a forest fire fanned by gusting winds forced the evacuation of some 2,000 people from a handful of small mountain towns in eastern Spain. In both Portugal and Spain thousands of residents have been forced to flee their homes as well as dozens of people killed.

Yet Russia still supports them? I guess it's AAA (Anything Against America) even if Al-Qaeda doesn't appreciate our support. Hmmmm!

Texas wild fires in 2010 were traced to Moslem terrorist groups sponsored by the Holy Foundation for Relie and Development.

I think the Russians helped identify sites, if not start the fires themselves.

The probability that the texas wildfires were part of this adds to the Obama politicization of disaster relief where he refused to designate Texas and give fema help. He was projecting his own policies when he inferred racism in the aid to Katrina victims in Louisiana. The truth is he was one of 14 radical left politicians to vote against the stafford act exceptions for the aid to Katrina victims. Obama votes for a policy, demagogues against it, and copies it with the aid of his Islamic friends in other cases.

This seems to be a tactic used by Muslims. During the last Lebanon War they fired hundreds of rockets into the Galilee, starting forest fires there.
The Muslim Arabs aren't the Sons of the Desert; they are the Fathers of the Desert. Over the centuries they have converted millions of acres of grassland and savanna the Middle East and North Africa to desert by overgrazing, and now they appear to be deliberately destroying forests and grasslands in the Infidel countries.

A month or two ago, someone on the Connection posted a briefing from a government official about the fires in the western US being connected to islamoterrorists.

Last week’s UN recognition of a Palestinian state and Israel’s decision to build new homes in the West Bank have sparked an international wave of diplomatic wrist-slapping, pitting key European players on one side and Canada on the other. On Monday, Israeli ambassadors were summoned for consultations in five European capitals and officials warned of other potential measures against Israel. Even though the United States voted with Israel against the Palestinian bid, the Obama administration called Israel’s ramped-up building plans “especially damaging” to peace prospects.

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.
