the Boy David's Damascene revelation on the road to peace making in Gaza - is reality finally breaking through ?

The Boy David who was so vilely abused last week when he fully expected to arrive in London being met by a grateful nation as his carefully crafted and highly burnished UN resolution for peace in Gaza was shot down by Olmert demanding Bush tell Condileezza Rice to abstain.

The Boy David has had a Damascene revelation brought about by his unpleasant and very public bruising in the real politik of ME politics as played by the Washington Hawks and the Zionist war criminals.

Now ( strangely as Lady Dame Jane Baroness Nevill Jones has also become to discover )the infantile concept of a "war on terror" against a man in a cave in Afghanistan is - he puts it mildly, "a mistake" ... and may have caused "more harm than good". ( See Dame NJ May 2008 - "In Britain, Neville-Jones pointed out that policymakers do not talk in the language of the war on terror any longer. However, they do take the view that jihadism, while it is incapable of being defeated, is at very least capable of being disrupted. Terrorism is a tactic and attempts to deal with it can be handled in a way which does not lend support to your ideological opponents. " RUSI conference)

One the eve of his self important visit to Mumbai where he will be as popular as syphilis in a nunnery for his nonsenical mutterings about the responsibility for ther Mumbai killings he writes in today's Guradian.

Miliband says, adding that, in his opinion, the whole strategy has been dangerously counterproductive, helping otherwise disparate groups find common cause against the west.

"The more we lump terrorist groups together and draw the battle lines as a simple binary struggle between moderates and extremists or good and evil, the more we play into the hands of those seeking to unify groups with little in common," Miliband argues, in a clear reference to the signature rhetoric of the Bush era. "We should expose their claim to a compelling and overarching explanation and narrative as the lie that it is."

Late his conversion to the real world may be, it is nonetheless welcome.

He has discovered some universal truths which people have been crying from the roof tops for years ..."Terrorism is a deadly tactic, not an institution or an ideology." (qv Neville Jones above)

The Guradan asks him if he had not left it late in the Bush era to make his criticism, anonymous "British officials" had stopped thinking in terms of a single war on terror more than two years ago, and had been putting a "more comprehensive approach" into practice.... well some evidence of this change in heart would be welcome.

For example when Gordon went to Washington upon taking up the burdens of office to receive his instructions he said ..."“We must undercut the terrorists’ so-called ’single narrative’ and defeat their ideas. At home and abroad we must back mainstream and moderate voices and reformers, emphasizing the shared values that exist across faiths and communities.” D Telegraph

It was of course at this time that he banned the use of the words "Muslim" and the "war on terror" by Ministers, not because of any change in policy or reality but to improve community relations and avoid offending Muslims, adopting a more “consensual” tone than existed under Tony Blair.

Fpeign Policy has untiln ow not altered one iota , we still suport the crazy war in Afghanistan , we have supported the bombing of Pakistan, our crazed Metropolitan Police, (when not shagging each other and fiddling expenses or running businesses on the side) still have 6 / 11/ 15/ 20 / 30 terror plots and 2,000 extremist (AKA Muslim fundamentalist) crypto terrorists under surveillance.

Let us hope the Boy David - frightened perhaps by the sights of extreme military bloodlust and carnage caused by his fellow Jews in Gaza and the slaughter of families, and reflecting on his own young family, has seen the light.

We might yet see the Boy David on a marchsoon holding hands with Jeremy Corbyn and george Galloway.

Glasgow drugs bust - Home Secretary's embarassment

Mr Ronnie Campbell, 47, a colourful Glasgow gangster , appeared on petition yesterday at Hamilton Sheriff Court with his co-accused - Michael Keelan, 46, Thomas Baird, 39, and Pamela Green, 37.

This was as a result of a police swoop on a car on the A 725 near Ronnie's house in Belshill Lanarkshire (in "Dr"John Reid's constituency)at 8pm on Monday - He was charged with the others named with being concerned in the supply of amphetamine under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.

According to a Crown Office spokesman, the maximum street value of the drugs recovered is estimated at £280,000.

At a short hearing held in private, no pleas were entered were ordered and no date has been set for a further court appearance.

Ronnie's daughter Melissa married Mark the son of the Home Secretary "Dr" John Reid last year - see the lovely wedding pic at Westminster Cathedral.

Ronnie who ran a Rangers supporters pub in Tenerife for five years, returned for the wedding and has since lived in Scotland.

This has nothing to do with the discovery of cannabis found at Dr Reid's Lanarkshire home in May. At the time Assistant chief constable of Strathclyde Police, John Corrigan, said: 'The owner of the house has co-operated fully and is not suspected of having committed any crime.'

FACTS ABOUT AMPHETAMINES

Amphetamines are synthetic psychostimulant drugs, which means they speed up the workings of the brain. Long-term misuse of amphetamines can lead to serious problems including brain damage, malnutrition and psychosis.

Illegal amphetamines include ;

1. Speed (amphetamine sulphate, dexamphetamine)
2. Ice (crystal methamphetamine hydrochloride, purified methylamphetamine) – is a crystal or crystalline powder, and is a stronger form of methamphetamine. It is also known as ‘crystal meth’, ‘shabu’ or ‘glass’ ,'crank' 'tweak','tina' - it has recently been reclassified in the UK from a Class B to a Class A (unlimited fine or up to 7 years in jail ).

Methamphetamine improves gay sex - apparently

Rev. Ted Haggard, Leader of the 30 million-member National Association of Evangelicals resigned on Thursday . He also stepped down from the 14,000-member New Life Church, based in Colorado Springs which he founded in 1985, seven years after graduating from the massive Christian Oral Roberts University in Tulsa OK. founded eponymously by the TV evangelist Oral Roberts in 1963.

A highly vocal opponent of gay marriage, married with five children, he resigned after being accused by Mike Jones of Denver on KHOW-AM radio, who claimed that Haggard paid him for sex about once a month for three years. Jones also said Haggard snorted methamphetamine before their sexual encounters - to heighten his experience.

Jane Little of the BBC in the US says Haggard - also known as Pastor Ted - is one of America's most influential and politically well-connected religious leaders, with strong White House links.

NOTE

Ned Flanders the irritating Christian in the Simpsons also went to Oral Roberts U. Said to be named after Northeast Flanders St. in Portland, Oregon, the hometown of Simpsons creator Matt Groening. The street sign, NE Flanders St., is often defaced to read NED Flanders St. Apparently.

Ned owns the Leftorium a shop stocking items solely for left handed people. A sincere BIble believing Christian , jogger who wears flip flops but won't run in them ... there is no evidence that he snorts anything prior to any form of sexual congress - if homosexual he has, so far, (like Pastor Ted) managed to conceal it.... although looking at this pic .......

UPDATE Midnight UK.

This story is hitting the headlines on every BBC Radio news headlines.

Washington Post reports ..."Rev. Ted Haggard, said today he bought methamphetamine and received a massage from a self-described male escort. But Haggard denied allegations by the man that he ever used the drug or had sex with him." Yeah whatever.

Local Radio in Florida is said to be reporting Charlie Crist, flag wrapped, anti gay marriage Christian Floridan Re Pub up for re-election is getting out of the closet. Bruce Carlton Jordan tells Dee Dee Hall (Broward - Palm Beach New Times) in video testimony about his alleged sexual relationship with Republican gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist.See also Proud of who we are and letter to Crist from founder of Florida chapter de Vries
