International Cooperation At Low Levels For U.S. Gov

U.S. President Barack Obama

Last week it was revealed, a number of international cities/countries have not modified security at their airports, in response to a formal request from the U.S. government, due to the attempted Christmas Day airline bombing in America.

Yemen, a major player on the terrorism front, also decreed there are, "Limits to its military cooperation with the United States." Their deputy prime minister for security and defense stated, "We cannot accept any foreign troops on Yemeni territory" deeming it will "strengthen Al Qaeda."

Former President George W. Bush and his Vice President, Dick Cheney, did a massive amount of damage in the area of international relations and now many in the global community are not willing to stick their necks out, as a result of those bridges that were burned.

If Obama is seen following in Bush's footsteps in any manner, in the area political policy, it shall only serve to worsen international ties. Among those choices...more troops to Afghanistan.

Yemen says there are limits to its military cooperation with United States

Friday, January 8, 2010 - SANAA, YEMEN -- In its strongest language yet, Yemen's government declared Thursday that there are limits to its military cooperation with the United States, warning that any direct U.S. action in this impoverished Middle Eastern nation could bolster the popularity of Islamist militants.

"If there is direct intervention by the United States, it will strengthen al-Qaeda," warned Rashad al-Alimi, Yemen's deputy prime minister for security and defense. "We cannot accept any foreign troops on Yemeni territory."

The statement underscored the rising concern among Yemen's leadership about a domestic backlash that could politically weaken the government and foment more instability. In recent days, top Yemeni officials have publicly played down their growing ties to Washington, fearing that they will be perceived by their opponents as weak and beholden to the United States...

Yemen official minimizes nation's link to jetliner bombing suspect

Reporting from Sana, Yemen - A senior Yemeni official downplayed his nation's connection to the Nigerian Islamic militant suspected of trying to bomb a Detroit-bound Northwest Airlines flight on Christmas Day, saying the man became an Al Qaeda militant in Britain, even though he met with a radical cleric in Yemen shortly before allegedly undertaking his alleged mission.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab joined Osama bin Laden's group while living in Britain from 2005 to '08, Yemeni Deputy Prime Minister Rashad Alimi told reporters Thursday in Sana, the capital. "The information we have is that Umar Farouk joined Al Qaeda in London," he said.

At some point, the onetime engineering student and the son of a wealthy Nigerian banker set off alarm bells in Britain, which didn't allow him to reenter the country. "But Yemen didn't get that intelligence," Alimi said.

Alimi's comments were the most detailed public explanation so far by government officials of Abdulmutallab's connection to Yemen...

New York Is Broke

New York

To show the terrible extremes America's finances have been mismanaged, what is arguably one of the richest states in the country, with high taxes is broke. The great state of New York, home to world famous New York City, is facing financial collapse.

Governor David A. Paterson "chastised" lawmakers for corruption and "spending the state into near-ruin." But this is indicative of a pattern present all over the country, as another rich state, California is broke as well. Some terrible winds of change have hit America, requiring great financial minds to navigate a path.

Paterson Says Legislators Put State in Danger

Published: January 6, 2010 - ALBANY - In a strikingly blunt State of the State address, Gov. David A. Paterson chastised the lawmakers seated before him on Wednesday, saying they had spent the state into near-ruin and stood by as a plague of political corruption destroyed New Yorkers' trust in their government.

Dispensing with the ritualized flattery that typically precedes the annual address, Mr. Paterson said that the Legislature's reluctance to make hard decisions and rein in its own excesses had plunged the state even deeper into crisis.

"You have left me and other governors no choice," Mr. Paterson, the former State Senate minority leader, said. "Whether it be by vetoes or delayed spending, I will not write bad checks, and we will not mortgage our children's future."…

New York is facing a fiscal crisis decades in the making and a $7 billion shortfall projected for the coming year. Last year, buoyed in part by federal stimulus aid, state officials increased total spending by nearly 9 percent, even as the economy faltered and revenues plummeted.

She was hospitalized with, " A broken jaw, fractures to the face, lacerations on the back of her head." Farren's wife is a lawyer, so you know he's in trouble.

Because nothing says love like someone busting you over the head with a flashlight (not). What is going on with some men today. Does is seem like cases of violence against women have been getting more vicious and violent. People need to learn to walk away from confrontational situations and keep their anger in check.

Another Porn Star Dies - Part 2

"Burned body in trash identified as Playboy model"

A person of interest has surfaced in the Paula Sladewski case. Her boyfriend, Kevin Klym, has a history of domestic violence and was previously arrested for punching Sladewski in the face, breaking her nose.

Police speak about the case:

The two had a dispute in a Miami Night club and he was ejected from the building. That was the last time the two were seen together. Her body was later discovered burning in a dumpster, so severely torched, the police could not tell if the corpse was a man or woman, nor could they make a confirmation on the race of the deceased.
