Iraqi air force seemingly making mincemeat of pro-Saudi wahhabi terrorist army


Supposedly this vid shows the bombardment of the wahhabi shits.  If true, that's good news. The Iraqis should take care of  their own country instead of begging for help from outside forces.  A mere 5000 or so of braindead religious freaks  shouldn't be a big problem for a well-trained air force to decimate within a few hours...... especially if the co-pilot or one of the fighter pilots, in the cockpits or firing seats (or whatever they are called) of the fighter jets, is an American or an Iranian.

Turkey is Canada's ally. Turks are headchoppers too just like the rest of their Sunni Muslim brothers


Warning:  Graphic vid and pic:

Yup ... Turks and Turkey will be part of the EU if the powers-that-be have their way.  And, when have they not had their way?

 The Syrian copter that strayed into Turkish airspace was brought down by Turkish gunfire and was immediately set upon by the glorious citizens of Turkey and the pilot were beheaded.  That's the poor man's head in the pic below.  Some sources say there were two pilots and both were beheaded.  Some say that one pilot was already dead.  Some say both were alive and were brought out of the crashed helicopter and then beheaded. I haven't watched the vid and won't ... so don't know if  one or two pilots were beheaded while dead or alive.

 Canada is allied with Turkey.  We like to hug and make kissy kissy with headchoppers.  Wonder when our esteemed Foreign Affairs minister John Baird has planned a trip to visit  our wonderful ally. Maybe our esteemed PM Stephen Harper will also accompany the FM. Hope they manage to come back home with heads still attached to their shoulders.

More here.

From Reuters:
Turkey said its warplanes shot down   a Syrian helicopter on Monday after it crossed into Turkish airspace and the government warned it had taken all necessary measures to defend itself against any further such violations.

 Turkey scrambled two F-16 jets along the border between its southern Hatay province and Syria after warning the Mi-17 helicopter it was approaching Turkish airspace shortly before 2:30 p.m. (1130 GMT), the military said in a statement.




 Syria called the reaction "hasty" and accused Turkey of trying to escalate tensions along the border........
........ Syria's army acknowledged the helicopter had strayed into Turkish airspace for a short time while monitoring "terrorists" moving across the border into Syria, but said it was an accident and that the aircraft was on its way back when it was shot down.

 In a statement carried by state news agency SANA, it accused Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's government of trying to increase tensions between the two countries...........
.........The Turkish lira, which had earlier strengthened to below 2 to the dollar for the first time in almost three weeks partly on hopes for diplomacy over Syria, briefly weakened back above 2 on the news.

 Following Syria's downing of a Turkish jet in 2012, Erdogan said the military's rules of engagement had changed and that any Syrian element approaching the border would be deemed a threat and be treated as a military target.

 Turkey has bolstered its defenses and deployed additional troops on its border with Syria in recent weeks, with convoys of military vehicles ferrying equipment and personnel and additional short-range air defenses set up...........

Saudi govt. posts $2 M to bail out Saudi student accused of contract kill

Money, money, money .... makes the world go round.   In this case, however,  the judge had his feet planted firmly to the ground of good sense, and the money meant diddly-squat to the good judge.  The saudi shit is still sitting behind bars.  If  he is let out on bail, he will do a Houdini and the judge knows it.  This man is allegedly responsible for the murder of a bar owner at the hands of a hired killer and should not be let out on bail.  $2 Million is chicken feed for the Saudi govt.  They will spend twice that and more to get him out of the country as soon as he is released on bail.

Bill Draper writing at BigStory:
 Ziyad Abid was a Missouri college student  aspiring to become a pilot like his father back home in Saudi Arabia when he was accused of paying his roommate to kill a local bar owner. The judge set bond at $2 million, completely out of reach for his family — but not for the Saudi government.

 The money came in. Yet two months later, Abid remains jailed because a judge is refusing to let him out. The judge acknowledged he may be violating the Missouri Constitution, which allows suspects to be held without bond only in capital murder cases.

 But the judge won't budge. Or explain why.

 Abid's lawyers, including a former U.S. attorney for Missouri, have asked a state appeals court to release Abid and remove Circuit Judge Michael Wagner from the case, arguing that he's biased in part by Abid's nationality. The court has given Wagner until Monday to respond.

 Abid was studying aviation at the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg when his roommate, Reginald Singletary Jr., was accused of killing popular bar owner Blaine Whitworth in September. Singletary admitted fatally shooting Whitworth in the bar owner's driveway but claimed Abid paid him to do it, according to court documents......

Disaster waiting to happen



...Any non-U.S. citizen hoping to pilot, or even hop in a flight simulator, must submit identifying information, including country of origin and date of birth, as well as a recent photograph and multiple sets of fingerprints. Those are then screened against a number of criminal and Homeland Security databases.

TSA has performed background checks on about 230,000 foreign flight students since 2005, which amounts to nearly 77,000 checks per year. TSA assumes each student will undergo two applications per year. Less than 200 people have been rejected from the program, according to TSA records.....
