OBAMA SCAMS AMERICA WITH BIRTH CIRT.

WORLD TERRORISM

GENESIS 6:11-13
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

2 PETER 2:5
5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

2 PETER 3:7
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men

LEVITICUS 26:16
16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you( sudden) terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

GENESIS 16:11-12
11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

ISAIAH 33:1,18-19 Woe to thee that spoilest,(destroys) and thou wast not spoiled;(destroyed) and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil,(destroy) thou shalt be spoiled;(destroyed) and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
18 Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.

JOHN 16:2
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

Mumbai Attack

More bodies identified at Mumbai Jewish center / Ronen Medzini, Foreign Ministry says remains of eight people located in Chabad offices in Mumbai following terror attack .Friends who found him told me his prayer book was still open, Chroman's brother told Ynet. He was sent to India on a one-time trip. He was supposed to fly two weeks before that but the trip was delayed because of visa requirements.

He was a good man

India security chief resigns after Mumbai attacks By PAUL PEACHEY, Associated Press Writer NOV 30,08

MUMBAI, India – With corpses still being pulled from a once-besieged hotel, India's top security official resigned Sunday as the government struggled under growing accusations of security failures following terror attacks that killed 174 people.

Home Minister Shivraj Patil, who has become highly unpopular during a long series of terror attacks across India, submitted his resignation to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who accepted it, according to the president's office.The Cabinet reshuffle comes as a chorus of criticism about the government's handling of the Mumbai attacks grows louder.Our Politicians Fiddle as Innocents Die, read a headline Sunday in the Times of India newspaper.A day after the siege ended, authorities were still removing victims bodies from the ritzy Taj Mahal hotel, where three suspected Muslim militants made a last stand before Indian commandos killed them in a blaze of gunfire and explosions.On Sunday, the waterfront landmark, popular among foreign tourists and Indian high society, was surrounded by metal barricades, its shattered windows boarded over. At the iconic Gateway of India basalt arch nearby, a shrine of candles, flowers and messages commemorated victims.We have been to two funerals already, Mumbai resident Karin Dutta said as she placed a small bouquet of white flowers for several friends killed in the hotel. We're going to another one now.The rampage was carried out by gunmen at 10 sites across Mumbai starting Wednesday night. At least 239 were wounded.One site, the Cafe Leopold, a famous tourist restaurant and the scene of one of the first attacks, opened Sunday for the first time since the mayhem — but police asked it to close just minutes later because they said the eatery needed permission first.Mirrors, doors and paneling were riddled with bullet holes from the assault that killed seven people there.I want them (the attackers) to feel we have won, they have lost, restaurant manager Farzad Jehani said of the symbolic opening. We're back in action.

The death toll was revised down Sunday from 195 after authorities said some bodies were counted twice, but they said it could rise again as areas of the Taj Mahal were still being searched. Among the dead were 18 foreigners, including six Americans. Nine gunmen were killed.The dead also included Germans, Canadians, Israelis and nationals from Britain, Italy, Japan, China, Thailand, Australia and Singapore.A previously unknown Muslim group called Deccan Mujahideen — a name suggesting origins inside India — has claimed responsibility for the attacks that killed more than 170 people. But Indian officials said the sole surviving gunman, now in custody, was from Pakistan and voiced suspicions of their neighbor.Pakistan denied it was involved and demanded evidence.The assaults have raised fears among U.S. officials about a possible surge in violence between Pakistan and India. The nuclear-armed rivals have fought three wars against each other, two over the disputed region of Kashmir.Prime Minister Singh called a rare meeting of leaders from the country's main political parties to discuss the situation Sunday.As officials pointed the finger at elements in Pakistan, public ire over the government's actions widened.

People are worried, but the key difference is anger, said Rajesh Jain, chief executive officer at a brokerage firm, Pranav Securities. Does the government have the will, the ability to tackle the dangers we face? But J.K. Dutt, director general of India's elite commandos, brushed off criticism that his unit, which had to fly from New Delhi to Mumbai, was slow to respond to the attacks. There was no delay, he told reporters Sunday. But Patil, the former home minister, succumbed to the mounting criticism of the government's inability to prevent repeated terrorist attacks. To replace him, Singh tapped Finance Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram, a Harvard-educated lawyer who has been one of the most prominent faces in the administration. Chidambaram, 63, served as Minister of Internal Security in the 1980s under slain Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. Authorities say the gunmen may have arrived in Mumbai on a trawler that was found abandoned and drifting off the coast with a bound corpse aboard a day after the attacks started. The government suspects they then transferred to a dinghy and docked at a fishermen's colony near the two hotels and Jewish center targeted in the assaults. Local fishermen were suspicious of the group of young men, police inspector Dattatray Rajbhog said. The fishermen shouted at them and asked who they were and where they had come from. But they abused them and fled, he said. Suspicions in Indian media quickly settled on the militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, long seen as a creation of the Pakistani intelligence service to help wage its clandestine war against India in disputed Kashmir. A U.S. counterterrorism official said some signatures of the attack were consistent with Lashkar and Jaish-e-Mohammed, another group that has operated in Kashmir. Both are reported to be linked to al-Qaida. President George W. Bush pledged full U.S. support for the investigation, saying the killers will not have the final word. FBI agents were sent to India to help with the probe. It was the country's deadliest terrorist act since 1993 serial bombings in Mumbai killed 257 people. Associated Press writers Ravi Nessman, Ramola Talwar Badam, Erika Kinetz and Anita Chang contributed to this report from Mumbai, and Foster Klug and Lara Jakes Jordan contributed from Washington.

51 protesters wounded in Thailand explosions By AMBIKA AHUJA, Associated Press Writers NOV 30,08

Sunday, Nov. 30, 2008, at Suvarnabhumi in Bangkok. … BANGKOK, Thailand – Attackers set off explosions at anti-government protest sites Sunday, wounding 51 people and raising fears of widening confrontations in Thailand's worst political crisis that has strangled its economy and shut down its main airports.The first blast occurred inside Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat's office compound, which protesters seized in August and have held ever since. Suriyasai Katasiya, a spokesman for the protest group, said a grenade landed on the roof of a tent where protesters were resting, rolled down to the ground and exploded.At least 49 people were injured, said Surachet Sathitniramai at the Narenthorn Medical Center. He said nine were hospitalized, including four in serious condition.Twenty-minutes after that attack, two more blasts rocked an anti-government television station but there were no injuries, Suriyasai said.In another pre-dawn strike, an explosive device detonated on the road near the main entrance to Bangkok's Don Muang domestic airport. Surachet and an Associated Press television cameraman said two people were wounded.No one claimed responsibility for the blasts but Suriyasai blamed the government.

Tensions were rising as a pro-government group prepared to hold a rally in the heart of Bangkok later Sunday to express its support for Somchai, who is operating out of the northern city of Chiang Mai.Government spokesman Nattawut Sai-Kua denied rumors that Somchai had left the country, saying he was definitely in Chiang Mai and had no plans to go abroad in the near future.The prime minister has been reluctant to use force to evict the demonstrators from the People's Alliance for Democracy, who on Tuesday night overran Suvarnabhumi airport, the country's main international gateway.

The alliance seized Bangkok's domestic airport a day later, severing the capital from all commercial air traffic and virtually paralyzing the government.National police deputy chief Lt. Gen. Pongpat Pongjaroen said police have begun negotiations with the protesters to end the standoff, but alliance leader Chamlong Srimuang denied it.The alliance says it will not give up until Somchai resigns, accusing him of being a puppet of ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, the alliance's original target. Thaksin, who is Somchai's brother-in-law, was deposed in a 2006 military coup and has fled the country to escape corruption charges.There is no negotiation on the table. Our condition is the same, Chamlong said. Brothers and sisters, please be patient. As soon as the government is out of power, we will go home immediately.Somchai has appeared at a loss on how to end the crisis but still refuses to step down. The police have their hands tied because of Somchai's reluctance to use force and the military has refused to get involved, creating the worst political deadlock in the country's history and taking a severe toll on its economy and reputation.Hundreds of flights have been canceled, stranding up to 100,000 travelers, devastating the country's tourism-dependent economy and disrupting schedules and budgets of airlines around the world.Suvarnabhumi airport director Serirat Prasutanont said officials are trying to negotiate with protesters to let various airlines retrieve 88 planes that have remained parked since Tuesday.

We are begging them to let the empty planes take off but without success, he said.

Some airlines were using an airport at the U-Tapao naval base, about 90 miles (140 kilometers) southeast of Bangkok. But authorities there were overwhelmed with hundreds of screaming and shoving passengers cramming into the small facility, trying to get their bags scanned through a single X-ray machine. It was terrible! There was pushing and shouting and we couldn't get in the front door, said Veena Banerjee of India, trying for the second day to get on a plane. All rescue flights — to Moscow, Beijing, Kuala Lumpur, Phuket, Singapore — were delayed, some by several hours. The parking lot was jammed with buses, taxis and vans. The Red Cross set up a tent in the parking area where women handed out sandwiches. Deputy Prime Minister Olarn Chaipravat, who oversees economic affairs, said foreign tourist arrivals next year were expected to fall by half to about 6 million, resulting in 1 million job losses in the crucial tourism industry. The Federation of Thai Industries has estimated the takeover of the airports is costing the country $57 million to $85 million a day. Some of its members have suggested they might not pay taxes to protest the standoff. The situation has gone from bad to worse, signaling that it (the government) is incompetent at ensuring peace and order, the Thai Chamber of Commerce said in a statement Saturday. Some Thais are looking to the judiciary for a way out of the crisis. The Constitutional Court is expected to rule as soon as next week on whether three parties in the governing coalition including Somchai's People's Power Party committed electoral fraud.

If found guilty, the parties would be dissolved immediately, and executive members including Somchai would be barred from politics for five years. Non-executive members could, however, switch to another party. Others are counting on the monarchy to end the standoff. Revered King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who has repeatedly brought calm in times of turbulence during his 62-year reign, will give his annual birthday-eve speech on Dec. 4. No one else can fix this. The country is so divided. The only uniting figure we have is the king. If he tells both sides to step back, they will, said 36-year-old coffee shop owner Natta Siritanond. Associated Press reporters Nicolas B. Tatro, Vijay Joshi and Michael Casey contributed to this report.

OBAMA WATCH CENTRAL Chasm dividing Americans over birth certificate widens
Opinions include, Constitution means what we say November 28, 2008
8:45 pm Eastern 2008 WorldNetDaily


The eligible President-elect Obama

The chasm between those who want President-elect Barack Obama to produce his birth certificate to verify his eligibility to hold the nation's highest office and those who simply support the Democrat is widening. The Constitution means what we today decide it means, opined one participant on a new WND forum that offers readers an opportunity to express their opinion on the birth certificate dispute. Meanwhile, as many as 115,000 have signed WND's petition seeking full disclosure of Obama's information. The petition cites the U.S. Constitution's requirement that no one can be sworn into office as president without being a natural born citizen. It also asserts there are questions about Obama's reported Hawaii birth, that the Democrat has refused repeated calls to document his birth, that activist judges have declined to require him to shed light on the issue and that Hawaii – at the time of Obama's birth – allowed parents whose children were born in other locations to register the birth there. WND's petition is available online, and more information is available at this link. It calls on all controlling legal authorities to take seriously the matter of where and when and to whom Obama was born and whether he qualifies as a natural-born American citizen, according to Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution.To participate, sign the petition here.

Joseph Farah, founder, editor and chief executive officer of the leading independent online news source, said the highly unusual step was needed because the argument cuts to the core of the clear and simple meaning of the Constitution. Learn about what America can expect from an Obama presidency in Brad O'Leary's blockbuster, The Audacity of Deceit: Barack Obama's War on American Values.Farah used his daily column to explain more fully the importance of the issue. No news organization or anyone else has investigated this matter more thoroughly, devoted more manpower to it, committed the financial resources to it or taken it more seriously, Farah said. Yet, despite the obvious lingering questions out there haunting the American conscience, Barack Obama appears ready to waltz to the inauguration and swearing-in ceremonies without so much as proving he was born in America as he claims. That is simply unacceptable. I decided that if no one else was going to take this matter seriously, we would, Farah said. In WND's forum, the division of opinion seemed unbridgeable. Said one participant, The Constitution means what we today decide it means. The Constitution exists to serve the people, not the people to serve the Constitution. … The precise nature and meaning of particular Constitutional clauses is a political question, to be decided by the people through our elected representatives, and through the judges appointed by the president we elect. That president will be Barack Hussein Obama, for at least the next four years.Another reader responded: The Constitution is NOT whatever we decide that it is. Such a concept is nonsense by which we could declare up to mean down and in to mean out. In such a worldview language loses all meaning and purpose and it becomes impossible to know anything at all. The Constitution is what is actually written down in its body and its various amendments. It is NOT whatever the judges declare it to be, no matter how fervently those judges desire for you to believe otherwise. There is a reason that the very first paragraph following the preamble states unequivocally that only Congress is allowed to make law. It means that judges do not get to tell us what the law is. Their Constitutional role is to decide cases, not to fold, spindle, and mutilate whatever they don't like.Continued another, We are a nation of laws, not what individuals might wish. And the Constitution is the first and foremost law. … BO has indicated in interviews that he thinks that founding document is too restrictive. Apparently he hopes to operate outside that law, beginning with his refusal to just present his original, long form vault birth certificate and his university records or other documents to prove that he is actually a natural born citizen of the U.S.He could very well be pulling off the biggest fraud in U.S. history and thinks he can get away with it, said yet another. The comments were in response to the forum question: Barack Obama may have won the presidential election, but is he eligible to serve? That's a question on the minds of millions of Americans eager to see his birth certificate and find out for sure if he was born in the U.S., as he claims. At least two of his relatives in Kenya claim to have been present at his birth in Mombasa, Kenya. In addition, the Obama machine has scoffed at requests to see the form of the Hawaiian birth certificate that includes the specific hospital in which the delivery took place. The form released by the campaign does not include that information, leading to suspicions Obama might have been one of the foreign-born babies of the 1960s who were, nonetheless, provided birth certificates by the state of Hawaii.

EU calls for deeper ties with ex-Soviet states
By ROBERT WIELAARD – 1 hour ago NOV 30,08


BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) — The EU must significantly boost relations with Ukraine and five other ex-Soviet republics and make easing Moscow's sway over them a priority, a European Commission report says.The report proposes to triple EU aid to Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine to euro1.5 billion by 2020. It says the EU must offer the nations free trade and economic integration because the EU has a vital interest in stability on its borders in the light of Russia's August war with Georgia.The European Commission wants the EU to sign association agreements providing for economic aid and security and defense consultations. It is silent on future EU membership, something Ukraine desires.The report says stepping up relations is only possible once there is sufficient progress toward democracy, the rule of law and human rights. This is particularly relevant for Belarus, whose authoritarian regime is shunned by the EU but has good relations with Moscow.

The report, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, is to be made public Wednesday.Russia wants to influence countries with large Russian-speaking populations.The EU worries about Moscow's commitment to democracy and wants to pull Russian neighbors closer to Western Europe with promises of trade and growth hoping to secure affordable supplies of energy in the future.The report says the EU must seek diversification of energy routes by enabling the ex-Soviet nations to build new and better connected pipelines and oil and gas storage facilities.The EU wants to see a gas pipeline from the Caucasus fully skirting Russia. Russia is pushing for deals under which Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan will ship their Caspian Sea gas through Russia.The EU report warns this would make energy supplies more vulnerable.
European Commission officials hope the EU leaders will endorse the plan at a spring summit.

HOARDING OF GOLD AND SILVER

DOCTOR DOCTORIAN FROM ANGEL OF GOD
then the angel said, Financial crisis will come to Asia. I will shake the world.

JAMES 5:1-3
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

EZEKIEL 7:19
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

Citigroup says gold could rise above $2,000 next year as world unravels ,Gold is poised for a dramatic surge and could blast through $2,000 an ounce by the end of next year as central banks flood the world's monetary system with liquidity, according to an internal client note from the US bank Citigroup. By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard Last Updated: 7:29AM GMT 27 Nov 2008

An employee of Tanaka Kikinzoku Jewelry K.K. displays a gold bar at the company's store in Tokyo Photo: Reuters The bank said the damage caused by the financial excesses of the last quarter century was forcing the world's authorities to take steps that had never been tried before. This gamble was likely to end in one of two extreme ways: with either a resurgence of inflation; or a downward spiral into depression, civil disorder, and possibly wars. Both outcomes will cause a rush for gold.They are throwing the kitchen sink at this, said Tom Fitzpatrick, the bank's chief technical strategist.The world is not going back to normal after the magnitude of what they have done. When the dust settles this will either work, and the money they have pushed into the system will feed though into an inflation shock.Or it will not work because too much damage has already been done, and we will see continued financial deterioration, causing further economic deterioration, with the risk of a feedback loop. We don't think this is the more likely outcome, but as each week and month passes, there is a growing danger of vicious circle as confidence erodes," he said.This will lead to political instability. We are already seeing countries on the periphery of Europe under severe stress. Some leaders are now at record levels of unpopularity. There is a risk of domestic unrest, starting with strikes because people are feeling disenfranchised.

What happens if there is a meltdown in a country like Pakistan, which is a nuclear power. People react when they have their backs to the wall. We're already seeing doubts emerge about the sovereign debts of developed AAA-rated countries, which is not something you can ignore, he said.Gold traders are playing close attention to reports from Beijing that the China is thinking of boosting its gold reserves from 600 tonnes to nearer 4,000 tonnes to diversify away from paper currencies. If true, this is a very material change, he said.Mr Fitzpatrick said Britain had made a mistake selling off half its gold at the bottom of the market between 1999 to 2002. People have started to question the value of government debt, he said.Citigroup said the blast-off was likely to occur within two years, and possibly as soon as 2009. Gold was trading yesterday at $812 an ounce. It is well off its all-time peak of $1,030 in February but has held up much better than other commodities over the last few months – reverting to is historical role as a safe-haven store of value and a de facto currency. Gold has tripled in value over the last seven years, vastly outperforming Wall Street and European bourses.

Some will involve helicopters and planes.The Russian squadron arrived in Venezuela on Tuesday, led by the nuclear-powered cruiser Peter the Great — the first deployment of its kind since the Cold War.It's widely seen as a demonstration of Kremlin anger over aid delivered by U.S. warships to Georgia after its fighting with Russia. Russian officials deny that.

Russia seeks new missiles due to U.S. shield plans By Conor Sweeney Conor Sweeney – Fri Nov 28, 2:53 pm ET

MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia's military said on Friday it had intensified efforts to develop new ballistic missiles in response to U.S. plans to deploy an anti-missile system in Europe and Russia's navy test fired a new generation rocket.The decision by the United States to deploy interceptor missiles in Poland and a radar system in the Czech Republic has angered Moscow, which says Russia's national security will be compromised by the U.S. anti-missile system.Colonel-General Nikolai Solovtsov, Commander of Russia's Strategic Missile Forces, was quoted by Interfax as saying that Russia had bolstered its efforts to develop new missiles.At the present time, work has been intensified to create the research and technical foundation for new missile systems, which will be needed after 2020, Solovtsov said.A few hours later, the Dmitry Donskoy nuclear submarine launched a Bulava intercontinental ballistic missile from the White Sea, a navy spokesman said. The missile hit the Kura testing site on the Kamchatka peninsula in the Pacific.Russia's RIA news agency quoted an unidentified source in the Defense Ministry as saying it was the most successful test of the Bulava to date, after a string of failures and delays.The previous test of the Bulava on September 18 was pronounced a success by the navy. Several launches of the Bulava, which is designed for Russia's new generation of Borei class nuclear submarines, have failed however.Russian President Dmitry Medvedev announced on November 5 that Moscow would install Iskander short-range missile systems near the Polish border if Washington proceeds with its missile plans.

Medvedev also said Russia would try to electronically jam the U.S. system.

Russia's relations with Washington this year hit their lowest ebb since the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union after a row over the war against U.S. ally Georgia and Moscow's recognition of two Georgian rebel regions as independent states.Kremlin officials say the U.S. has failed to listen to their concerns about the missile shield, which Washington says is needed to protect against rogue states such as Iran.

Russia's missile forces commander said the first of a new generation of Russian RS-24intercontinental ballistic missiles would enter service in December 2009, Interfax reported.Russia test fired one of the RS-24 missiles on November 26, the third such test in two years.Russian generals say the RS-24 can pierce any anti-missile system. It can be armed with up to 10 different warheads and is intended to replace Russia's earlier generation intercontinental missiles such as the RS-18 and RS-20.Solovtsov said the global financial crisis probably would impose some limits on funding, although Russia would test 13 missiles next year, almost double the seven tests this year, Interfax reported.Due to the world financial crisis, certain resource restrictions will be applied but still the (missile) force should be able to fulfill its duties, he was quoted as saying.Civilian personnel in Russia's military forces also will be cut by 150,000 to 600,000 as part of ongoing reforms to defense structures, Interfax separately reported, quoting a source in the Defense Ministry.

Russia, Cuba strengthen ties Medvedev ends visit to Latin American allies
By Anita Snow | The Associated Press November 29, 2008


HAVANA - Russia's president met with ailing revolutionary icon Fidel Castro on Friday, winding up a visit aimed at freshening relations with his country's old Cold War ally and raising Moscow's profile across the rest of the Latin America.President Dmitry Medvedev spent hours talking and sightseeing with President Raul Castro before meeting privately with his 82-year-old older brother.Medvedev said he was happy with his visit when he left the island Friday evening on a flight from the beach resort of Varadero east of Havana, Cuba's Prensa Latina news agency reported.

Everything has gone very well, Prensa Latina quoted the Russian president as saying. We have defined what we are going to do next, we have cleared up everything regarding credits, and in Russia we will await President Raul Castro's visit.Prensa Latina offered no details about what had been defined and cleared up, and carried no information about Medvedev's visit with ailing Fidel Castro. Cuban state television's evening news also did not report on the meeting with the older Castro.

Earlier Friday, Medvedev and Raul Castro laid a wreath at a monument to Soviet soldiers who died while serving in Cuba in the early 1960s, a symbol of Cuba's once-prominent part in the communist bloc and the history of its ties to Russia.Wearing a gray suit instead of his traditional olive-green army uniform and clutching Medvedev's arm, Raul Castro shouted to television cameras, It has been a magnificent visit, and now he will see Fidel.The chat with Fidel Castro capped a series of meetings with Washington's staunchest opponents in the region. But Russian officials deny that Medvedev's four-nation trip is meant to provoke the United States.Medvedev toured a visiting Russian warship on Thursday with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

Earlier, he met with Bolivia's Evo Morales and Nicaragua's Daniel Ortega, saying that Russia might participate in a trade bloc founded by Chavez and Cuban officials.
Medvedev also signed deals with Brazil and Peru, part of an effort to strengthen Russia's political, economic and military connections across a region long dominated by U.S. influence.Medvedev's Latin American tour is in some ways a response to U.S. moves in eastern Europe, where Russia sees its own security threatened by U.S. plans to build a missile-defense system in former Soviet satellite states.Medvedev said he and Raul Castro had discussed economic and military-technical cooperation — apparently arms sales — as well as security and regional cooperation.Former Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a tough message when he visited Havana in 2000, saying Cuba should pay its Soviet-era debt. Moscow closed a Cold War-era electronic spying center shortly thereafter.Now that spy center is an elite computer sciences university, and Russia is looking to spend money again on projects such as oil exploration in Cuba's part of the Gulf of Mexico and in a Venezuelan effort to refurbish a Soviet-era refinery in the port city of Cienfuegos.

GLOBAL AGENDA Russia: Ease Moscow’s Suspicions By Michael Mandelbaum | NEWSWEEK Published Nov 29, 2008 From the magazine issue dated Dec 8, 2008

Russia has reason to feel betrayed by the process of NATO expansion, begun in 1997. Seven years earlier, the Russians believe, American and German officials working on German reunification pledged not to take advantage of Moscow's weakness by extending NATO into Russia's traditional backyard. By reneging on that promise, Western leaders have made Russians doubt their trustworthiness.To the Kremlin, the expansion process has also seemed to be based on dishonest premises. U.S. officials advertised it as a way of promoting democracy, of forcing ex-Soviet states to reform. But the democratic commitment of NATO's first ex-communist entrants—Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic—was never in doubt. And if the Americans truly believed that NATO membership was the best way to guarantee free elections and constitutional rights, why didn't they immediately offer it to the largest ex-communist country of them all, Russia itself? Instead, Moscow was told it would never be able to join.NATO expansion taught Russia another lesson. The process went ahead because Moscow was too weak to stop it. This told the Russians that to have a say in European affairs, they needed to be able to assert themselves militarily. Last summer's war in Georgia was one result.

Given this history, what should the West do now about Russia? We have no good options. In the wake of the war, some in the United States renewed the call to welcome Georgia into NATO. But NATO is a mutual-defense pact. Making Georgia a member would mean that we'd have to come to the country's aid should fighting with Russia break out once more. This would require putting Western troops, tanks, aircraft and perhaps even nuclear weapons on Russia's border—to which the Russians would respond with comparable forces. The U.S. military is already seriously overstretched by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Yet doing nothing would look like a retreat in the face of Russian aggression.In the short term, the incoming U.S. president needs to think like a doctor: First, do no harm. This means deferring any offer of NATO membership to Georgia (and Ukraine, for that matter). Some may object that this will reward Russia for its belligerence. Perhaps, but the consequences of deferral are preferable to the costs of expansion—including a serious deterioration in relations with Moscow.At the same time, the West should renew its security cooperation with Russia. NATO must eventually either include Russia or give way to a new and more inclusive security order. To be sure, a NATO with Russia as a member would be a very different alliance. But today's NATO has already changed profoundly from that of 20 years ago. In security affairs as in other areas of human endeavor, change is the law of life.It's true that the present Russian regime hardly inspires the kind of trust and confidence that genuinely cooperative relations require. And that's not likely to change soon: the government is popular with the Russian public and is the product of powerful social forces, notably the country's historically authoritarian political culture. The West lacks the leverage to change any of that.

Our best hope lies in the economy. Russia's stock market fell sharply and capital fled the country after the Georgia war. In the next decade or two, the continuing development of free-market institutions and practices in Russia will have a salutary impact on its politics, if only by subjecting the country to punishment for acting aggressively. In the meantime, however, things will remain difficult. Barack Obama won't be able to heal relations completely. But he should try not to make them worse.

Rare downpour swamps Baghdad Sat Nov 29, 4:56 pm ET

BAGHDAD (AFP) – The Iraqi capital ground to a standstill Saturday after a rare rain and hail storm flooded city streets, leaving scores of cars stranded in muddy water half a metre (yard) deep.Traffic was backed up for hours on Baghdad's main streets in mid-afternoon, as pedestrians waded through the knee-deep water or tiptoed across ubiquitous concrete security barriers.It only rains in Baghdad a few times each year, and most streets are not built to drain water.Entire intersections were submerged, tunnels were closed, and main thoroughfares shut down because of fallen trees.Even on the sunniest days Baghdad's anarchic traffic can be a nightmare -- the city's roads are covered with potholes, several streets are blocked for security reasons, and traffic laws are rarely if ever enforced.The entire country's infrastructure fell into disrepair during the decades of war and international sanctions that preceeded the 2003 US-led invasion to topple Saddam Hussein.The finance ministry has estimated that Iraq will need 400 billion dollars (315 billion euros) for reconstruction, which it hopes will be mostly covered by foreign investment.

Death toll rises to 109 in southern Brazil flooding: officials Sat Nov 29, 11:19 am ET

DE JANEIRO (AFP) – Flooding and landslides triggered by heavy rain has killed at least 109 people in southern Brazil over the past week, Civil Defense officials said on Saturday.The toll, 10 more than reported Friday, is likely to rise because at least 19 people are still missing, officials said.Heavy rain in the state of Santa Clara has affected 1.5 million people in the region and forced some 79,000 to flee their homes, officials said.Local authorities ordered a curfew in some of the most heavily affected areas to stop looters from breaking into stores searching for food.

Front-pages of the leading Brazilian newspapers throughout the week showed pictures of area residents inside supermarkets in waist-deep water searching for food and drinking water.Civil defense officials said Saturday that over the past week they have distributed some 515 tonnes of food.There are still parts of the flooded region cut off from land access and reachable only via helicopter.Health Ministry workers and Civil Defense officials are to set up this weekend a field hospital near Itajai, one of the most hard-hit areas, that can receive up to 400 people a day.Authorities feared an outbreak of diseases such as leptospirosis, spread by rat urine.

More bodies unearthed in Brazil mudslides By RICARDO MORAES, Associated Press Writer Saturday, Nov. 29, 2008. Flooding

ITAJAI, Brazil – Rescue workers have pulled nine more bodies from beneath mud and rubble in Brazil's flood-ravaged southern state of Santa Catarina, bringing the death toll to 109, the state civil defense department said Saturday.Most of the 109 victims were killed in mudslides and 19 still were missing. At least 78,000 people in 14 cities have been driven from their homes, with many taking shelter in churches, schools, gymnasiums and other public buildings.Harrowing stories continued to emerge from Itajai, a riverside city of 180,000 where receding floodwaters left homes and furniture caked with mud.In a makeshift shelter at a school, Maria Salete, a 55-year-old housewife, sobbed as she recalled the mudslide that killed her three grandchildren.It all happened so quickly, she said. I don't remember how I got out. All of a sudden there was this huge mountain of mud and my grandchildren had disappeared.She said her son and daughter-in-law survived and were hospitalized, but she had no idea how badly they were hurt.Outside the city, Evandro Schmidt, a 36-year-old rice farmer, helped clear away mud, rocks and debris that clogged a highway.

I never thought I would see so much horror in my life, he said. I helped dig out the bodies of several of my neighbors.Things will never be the same again. I don't know what I am going to do to survive, he said, walking away and shaking his head. He declined to answer more questions.Officials have imposed a 10 p.m. curfew in Itajai to prevent looting.Volunteers and troops worked around the clock distributing tons of medicine, food, water and clothes to people in a region where power outages contributed to a lack of drinking water and fresh food.
