Death to the "Satanic Powers"
The Gathering Storm, June 5, 2008
By Rick Santorum
Posted: Thursday, June 5, 2008
Iran's Mehr news agency is reporting that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad predicted this week the "satanic powers" - Israel and the U.S. - would be destroyed. He is quoted as saying, "I must announce that the Zionist regime (Israel), with a 60-year record of genocide, plunder, invasion and betrayal is about to die and will soon be erased from the geographical scene." He continued, "Today, the time for the fall of the satanic power of the United States has come and the countdown to the annihilation of the emperor of power and wealth has started...I tell you that with the unity and awareness of all the Islamic countries all the satanic powers will soon be destroyed."

Al Qaeda: Dead or Alive?
The Gathering Storm, June 3, 2008
By Rick Santorum
Posted: Tuesday, June 3, 2008

Pete cites two cover stories in The New Republic by the same author and just seven months apart that signify radically changing conditions in the health of Al Qaeda. Wehner points out that the first story, written by Pete Bergen in October, 2007, was titled "War of Error: How Osama bin Laden Beat George W. Bush" but this month the tune had changed. In this week's article "The Unraveling: The jihadist revolt against bin Laden ," Bergen and co-author Paul Cruickshank write, "The repudiation of Al Qaeda's leaders by its former religious, military, and political guides will help hasten the implosion of the jihadist terrorist movement."

The air hangs heavy, however, as the reality of a nuclear Iran in the region grows closer every day. Appearing before journalists earlier this week, Israeli President Shimon Peres, one of the last members of Israel's founding generation, issued birthday wishes as well as concerns about the future of the nation.
