| Associated Press reporter Matt Lee pressed State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland at Monday’s briefing to comment on Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s assertion that “Israel is a terrorist state” and is carrying out a “massacre of children” in Gaza. Adhering to longstanding administration policy of never criticizing the Islamist regime in Turkey, she refused. “You’re not telling us anything,” Lee said. “When the leaders of Turkey come out and say that Israel is engaged in acts of terrorism and you refuse to say that you don’t agree with that — or maybe you do agree with it —

Criticize Turkey? Never. The Turks know the truth about Benghazi. Obama will bow, kiss fanny, grovel, but he won´t criticize Erdogan.

I saw the eschange between the reporter and this spokeswoman. He gave her a pretty hard time. I notice that not one Democrat has bothered to defend this little lady as they have so gallantly done for Susan Rice. Could it be that this woman has to go it alone and undefended because she is white?

A former team-mate of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who is suspected of planting one of the Boston Marathon bombs, has posted a video of him wrestling and joking about during his high school years. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was well-liked at among his high school classmates, who are struggling to believe him capable of carrying out the Boston Marathon bombing. Yushun Tsou was on the wrestling team at the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School with Tsarnaev, and has posted a video of him practising in a basement and dancing in front of the camera when they were at high school.

They are the pets of West residents affected by the disaster, and while some evacuees were able to take their pets with them, others have had to wait for news.

KABUL — Eleven people, including 10 foreigners, have been captured by the Taliban after their helicopter was forced to land in bad weather in a volatile province of eastern Afghanistan, Afghan and Turkish officials said. The chopper, a Russian Mil Mi-8 operated by the Afghan company Khorasan Cargo Airlines, was carrying eight Turks, two Russians and one Afghan when it had to make an emergency landing Sunday in Azra district of Logar province, officials said.

A West Virginia student was charged with causing a disruption at a middle school when he refused to remove a T-shirt that displayed the National Rifle Association´s logo and hunting rifle. Jared Marcum, 14, said the shirt did not violate Logan Middle School´s dress code policy. ‘I was surprised. It shocked me that the school didn´t know their own dress code and their own policy,´ Marcum said in a telephone interview. ´I figured they would have known not to call me out on that shirt because there was nothing wrong with it.´

The two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings were not licensed to have the firearms they used in several shootouts with police on Friday, Reuters reported Sunday night.The news that the suspects were not authorized to own firearms will likely add fuel to calls for tougher gun laws – an issue that was put on the back-burner last week after the Senate blocked the central elements of a gun-control package backed by President Obama. Because Massachusetts state law bars handgun ownership for those younger than 21, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, age 26, was the only brother who could have

Presidential campaigns are long in the making, quick to be forgotten. But one part of them lives on for years: the victor´s promises. President Barack Obama paved his path to re-election with fewer promises than in 2008. The ones he did lay down, though, are meaty, legacy-shaping for him and consequential to ordinary lives today and for generations to come, for better or worse. They also are extraordinarily difficult to achieve in a time of gridlock grief and budgets that are tight when they are not paralyzed. He´s promised to set a course in law against global warming,

Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev may have murdered his ´only American friend´ in an unsolved triple killing two years ago, it emerged today. Brendan Mess had his ´throat slit´ alongside two other men in a Massachusetts apartment in 2011. Former associates of the Chechan immigrant didn´t initially suspect him of carrying out the gruesome attack, but thought it was strange he didn´t attend his friend´s funeral. Now one man who knew Tamerlan through the gym where they trained said some of their social circle ´without even speaking about it beforehand have all been thinking´ he could be involved.

The Boy Scouts are one of the great jewels of American culture. The success of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) is a result in no small part of the organization’s commitment to a set of ideas and principles that have guided the program for more than 100 years. Until recently, the BSA was unwavering in its conviction that these values and principles were “timeless.” But now those values are under attack. The Boy Scouts are the victims of an aggressive, well-funded and relentless campaign to inject sex and politics into Scouting. Homosexual-rights activists have aggressively pushed

EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, N.J.- The din of power tools echoes through the cavernous warehouse that once housed Donald Trump´s surplus blackjack tables and where purple-patterned carpeting evoking his casinos still covers the floor inside the office. The landscape inside is fast being altered. Here, the seeds for South Jersey´s first medical marijuana farm are expected to be planted next month, and plastic vials of marijuana are scheduled to be sold beginning Sept. 9.

President Obama raised more than $43 million for his second inauguration, with corporations, unions and other interest groups contributing $18 million, according to a new Federal Election Commission (FEC) report. The 2013 inaugural ceremonies’ fundraising total falls short of the more than $53 million Obama raised for his first inauguration.For his second inauguration, Obama accepted corporate contributions and donors could give in unlimited amounts. That’s different than in 2009 when the president limited his inaugural fundraising, banning corporate contributions and capping

The alleged Boston Marathon bomber may have tried to kill himself rather than surrender after he was cornered by police - but failed in his suicide attempt, it has been revealed. A new report says Dzhokhar Tsarnaev shoved his pistol in his own mouth and pulled the trigger as SWAT officers and federal agents closed in on the boat where he was hiding in Friday night. However, instead of killing him, the bullet simply passed through his neck. Authorities have said they cannot question him because of a throat wound. He remains in ´very serious´ condition at a Boston hospital.

In 1962, at the Carlyle Hotel in New York, a man “peeled off his clothing and began prancing around his hotel suite.” His bodyguards were cautiously amused, until the man “left the suite and began roaming through the corridor of the Carlyle.” The man in question was delusional, paranoid and suffering a “psychotic break” from the effects of an overdose of methamphetamine. He was also the president of the United States. The reason for John F. Kennedy’s bizarre behavior was that, according to an explosive new book, the president was — unbeknownst to him, at first — a meth addict.

“In this age of instant reporting and tweets and blogs, there´s a temptation to latch on to any bit of information, sometimes to jump to conclusions,” said President Obama, in the late evening of April 19, after Dzokhar Tsarnaev was captured alive in Watertown, Mass.

BOSTON - The surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings suffered an injury to his throat and may not be able to talk, a federal official told CNN on Saturday, possibly hindering attempts by authorities to question him about a motive in the attack. With one suspect dead, authorities believe answers to a motive and whether the brothers had help rest with Dzhokar Tsarnaev, who was captured Friday night just minutes after authorities had indicated that a massive manhunt for the suspect appeared to come up empty.

The Council on American Islamic Relations again offered sympathy to victims of the Boston Marathon bombing on Friday, but added a plea for Americans not to generalize and conclude that Muslim teachings influenced the suspect in any way. "Our focus is primarily on the victims," said Ahmed Rehab, executive director of the Chicago chapter at a press conference Friday afternoon. "We don´t want to be drawn into defending ourselves." Citing acts of violence in Boston and New York, Rehab blamed Islamophobic forces for inciting hate crimes.

THE graying man flashing fury in the Rose Garden on behalf of the Newtown families, the grieving man wiping away tears after speaking at the Boston memorial service, is not the same man who glided into office four years ago. President Obama has watched the blood-dimmed tide drowning the ceremony of innocence, as Yeats wrote, and he has learned how to emotionally connect with Americans in searing moments, as he did from the White House late Friday night after the second bombing suspect was apprehended in Boston.

In debate classes or law school, it is often referred to as the ‘arguing against the non-existing opponent’ tactic. The way it works is you imply your opponent is making an outlandish, unsavory claim (though he isn’t), hoping others will run with it or, at worst, that your opponent won’t sufficiently correct it and the claim sticks. To illustrate, imagine Sally is arguing in favor of marijuana’s legalization against Tom. In the middle of the debate, Tom suddenly shrieks: “Well, Sally, you can talk about legalizing marijuana all you want but I just don’t believe

Washington — The governor of Massachusetts says he has no idea what motivated the terrorists who exploded two bombs near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Speaking Sunday on CBS’ ”Face the Nation,” Deval (deh-VAL’) Patrick said it’s hard to imagine why someone would deliberately harm, quote “innocent men, women and children in the way that these two fellows did.” Patrick also said law enforcers believe the immediate threat ended when the police killed one of the alleged terrorists and captured the other.

Cambridge Police Commissioner Robert Haas tells The Associated Press in an interview Sunday that neither Tamerlan Tsarnaev (tsahr-NEYE´-ehv) nor his brother Dzhokhar had permission to carry firearms. He says it´s unclear whether either ever applied and the applications aren´t considered public records.
