Internet Monitors Tracked ‘Jihad Jane’ Colleen LaRose for Three Years

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

While the rest of America was stunned to hear that a suburban Pennsylvania woman allegedly used the Internet identity of Jihad Jane and tried to join militant jihadists, for a group of ‘Net vigilantes it was old news.

In fact, at least one of the Web sleuths claims to have alerted the feds to Colleen LaRose’s alleged efforts to raise money and recruit fighters for Islamic terrorists and to carry out her own jihad.

Mission accomplished, indeed

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

RONALD REAGAN liked to say that there was no limit to what a man could accomplish if he didn’t mind who got the credit. The transformation of Iraq from a hellish tyranny into a functioning democracy will be recorded as a signal accomplishment of George W. Bush’s presidency, and he probably doesn’t mind in the least that the Obama administration would like to take the credit.

This week’s parliamentary elections in Iraq brought 12 million voters to the polls - a remarkable 62 percent turnout, notwithstanding a wave of Election Day bombings that killed 38 people.

Officers: Pakistan arrests American-born al-Qaida

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

The American-born spokesman for al-Qaida has been arrested by Pakistani intelligence officers in the southern city of Karachi, two officers and a government official said Sunday, the same day Adam Gadahn appeared in a video urging U.S. Muslims to attack their own country.

The arrest of Gadahn is a major victory in the U.S.-led battle against al-Qaida and will be taken as a sign that Pakistan, criticized in the past for being an untrustworthy ally, is cooperating more fully with Washington. It follows the recent detentions of several Afghan Taliban commanders in Karachi, including the movement’s No. 2 commander.

May this traitor never live another day with peace in his evil heart.

Obama advisers set to recommend military tribunals for alleged 9/11 plotters

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

President Obama’s advisers are nearing a recommendation that Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, be prosecuted in a military tribunal, administration officials said, a step that would reverse Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.’s plan to try him in civilian court in New York City.

The president’s advisers feel increasingly hemmed in by bipartisan opposition to a federal trial in New York and demands, mainly from Republicans, that Mohammed and his accused co-conspirators remain under military jurisdiction, officials said. While Obama has favored trying some alleged terrorists in civilian courts as a symbol of U.S. commitment to the rule of law, critics have said military tribunals are the appropriate venue for those accused of attacking the United States.

Shhhhh, Don’t Tell Anyone — The Patriot Act Was Reauthorized - Andy McCarthy

Friday, February 26th, 2010

After a lot of huffing and puffing, about the need to add more civil liberties protections to a law already teeming with them, the Democrat-controlled Senate quietly voted to extend the three Patriot Act provisions that would have expired without reauthorization. Although beating back Patriot and its sensible national security provisions has been a rallying cry for the Left, Senate Democrats agreed to a clean reauthorization on a voice-vote. The New York Times managed just a paragraph, culled from the AP wire, to report the extension. Why so quiet? There are a couple of reasons, I suspect, and Michelle Malkin — ever on the case — gives us both of them.

Bush lawyers who approved waterboarding to face no discipline

Friday, February 19th, 2010

BYE-BYE, BABYLON - New York Post

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

OUR effort in Iraq passed a major milestone today: Our troops are leaving the cities.

Advisers remain in place. Joint patrols will still occur. And our forces will wait nearby to respond to Iraqi calls for support. But the last of the bases and US-only outposts within Iraq’s urban centers will be vacated.

Saddam, U.S. Lawwmakers, Trip, Iraq

US: Saddam Paid for Lawmakers’ Iraq Trip

Saddam Hussein’s intelligence agency secretly financed a trip to Iraq for three U.S. lawmakers during the run-up to the U.S.-led invasion, federal prosecutors said Wednesday.

An indictment unsealed in Detroit accuses Muthanna Al-Hanooti, a member of a Michigan nonprofit group, of arranging for three members of Congress to travel to Iraq in October 2002 at the behest of Saddam’s regime. Prosecutors say Iraqi intelligence officials paid for the trip through an intermediary.

At the time, the Bush administration was trying to persuade Congress to authorize military action against Iraq.

The lawmakers are not named in the indictment but the dates correspond to a trip by Democratic Reps. Jim McDermott of Washington, David Bonior of Michigan and Mike Thompson of California. None was charged and Justice Department spokesman Dean Boyd said investigators “have no information whatsoever” any of them knew the trip was underwritten by Saddam.

Nothing surprising here. I long felt McDermott should be tried for treason.

Drudge Report for Shame

Friday, February 29th, 2008

In ref. to The Drudge Report revealing for all the world to know, that Prince Harry was serving in a combat role in Afghanistan.

After reading this post via this post I have to agree that it was not good for Drudge to have used his great reach to expose such a secret.

It would be one thing for Drudge to have done this if the Prince were in a rehab center, but he was serving in combat. Not only did this put the Prince in danger but all of the troops he was serving with.

So maybe next time, Drudge could be a little more considerate.

Andrew Olmsted Killed In Iraq

Friday, January 4th, 2008

Major Andrew Olmsted was killed in Iraq serving his country. He had a friend publish this post in that event.

I would like to express my deepest sympathies to his family.

Man this made me sad. I did not even know of him but now I will never forget him.

Don Surber Reminds Us

Thursday, November 22nd, 2007

He reminds us of what democrats have said and probably what they wish the could take back. Well maybe some of them at least. Maybe.

I only hope history reminds everyone of the sorry state the democrats put themselves. Voting and saying at every turn anything and everything against the country, the military and its sitting President. For this I hope they pay.

‘The surge has not worked and will not work.’

Bush is not Stupid

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

…but I think the media is for thinking he and his administration is.

It has been clear from the very beginning, even before he was sworn in, that the media was doing every thing they could to make Bush and his administration look incompetent. From his very election that they still see as illegitimate. How he handled 9-11, the aftermath, The Afghan War, The Iraq War, Katrina, the floods, the fires, the everything. I think quite the opposite has taken place. Just look at how much the media has lost in reputation since 2000.

From the beginning I think Bush realized the media was never going to be on his side. That no matter what he said or what he did, the media had an agenda and they were going to stick to it. Bush could have brought about world peace. The media would find away to fault him for it on in the very least not give him credit.

So I think when history is written by the historians long after I am gone. It will finally be realized that this was a time of a great leader and how he contributed to a revolution in the world and in the media. A media that was so corrupt on perceived power it brought about their down fall and the birth of a new media that was controlled by everyone and no one.

Chickens Coming Home To Roost

Today the Ol’ Gray Bitch reported good news out of Iraq. Begrudgingly.

Today the Loons on the Left are flopping all over themselves denying it.

Today the Ol’ Crotchety Marine, Murtha says we can’t win.

Just a typical day on the Left.

Anti-War Films Bomb

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

As film makers try to portray the Iraq War in the way they see it. America as the bad guys and the enemy we face as the good guys. These films will continue to fail. Probably the only place these films will do well is with our enemy or in countries who are hostile with our success.

Plenty of great heroic stories have come out of this conflict. Unfortunately these heroic stories do no fit these film makers misguided agendas. Every was in history has had ugly moments, just as every family has skeletons. Only the sick and twisted would prefer to dwell on the ugly parts as opposed to put it behind them and accentuate the positive.

Of course it will only take one good movie to portray a heroic story, of which there are many, and then greedy Hollywood will be all over it to cash in on it. The one true moral Hollywood has, is whatever makes them the most little green rectangles.

Good News in Iraq

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

With hundreds of Iraqis returning to the country and with Muslims and Christians working hand in hand for mutually assured happiness, one might think that peace is coming to the middle east. If this keeps up and keeps improving, the media might finally be forced to recognize it.

The latest democrat spin is that this is the deadliest year so far in Iraq without ever mentioning the facts on the ground and the improvements that are taking place. democrats will stop at nothing to win defeat in Iraq.

Sad Bastards…

Democrats and Waterboarding

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

Democrats and Waterboarding is nothing more than a political issue. If they feel so strongly about the issue then maybe they should simply pass a law explicitly making the practice illegal.

They won’t because they realize the importance of not binding our hands more than they already are in an effort against an enemy that would not hesitate to do thing much worse.

They won’t do it also because hypocrisy is their middle name.

Iraq: Something You May Not Hear

U.S. troop losses plunge in Iraq

Mission Accomplished

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

I heard Dennis Miller talking about this the other day on the radio. The Mission Accomplished thing aboard the aircraft carrier that the President appeared in front of. The one that the democrats and the media made such a big deal out of. And continued to harp on.

This whole thing was was intended to express the mission was accomplished for the sailors aboard the ship, not what the democrats and their willing accomplices in the media tried to make it. That the War in Iraq was accomplished. Even though President Bush made it clear we still had a long hard slog to finish the job.

I can only hope that the media will one day look back on this with shame. I am not holding my breath though.

War When Lawyers Get Involved

1 in 5 democrats are Losers

FOX News Poll: Nearly 1 in 5 Democrats Say World Will Be Better Off if U.S. Loses War

Nearly one out of every five Democrats thinks the world will be better off if America loses the war in Iraq, according to the FOX News Opinion Dynamics Poll released Thursday.

The percentage of Democrats (19 percent) who believe that is nearly four times the number of Republicans (5 percent) who gave the same answer. Seven percent of independents said the world would be better off if the U.S. lost the war.

That sounds about right.

I am going to make up a number of say 20% more, just don’t want us to win. Another 20% want just to give peace a chance. The remaining 40% think we can talk to the terrorists and convince them to change their evil ways.

Algore - Iraq - Terrorism

Communists Behind Anti-War Movement

Media Confessions– Marxists Are Behind the Antiwar Protests

The Associated Press today reported that the two main groups organizing the antiwar protests on Iraq. ANSWER Coalition and Troops Out Now are associated with the communist World Workers Party

Of course this has been known for years now. It is nice though that the AP has finally put it in print.

These groups care nothing about bringing an end to the war. They only want to bring down America. What else would you expect from green eyed communists.

The War Must Be Going Great

Monday, October 1st, 2007

How can you tell a war is going great under the leadership of a Republican President?

You stop hearing about it on the TV News Show.

US military deaths in Iraq lowest in 14 months

US military losses in Iraq for September stood at 70 on Sunday, the lowest monthly figure since July last year, according to an AFP tally based on Pentagon figures.

The figure also marks the fourth consecutive drop in the monthly death toll following a high of 121 in May. June saw 93 deaths, July 82 and August 79. The monthly toll in July 2006 was 53.

Two US soldiers were killed on Saturday in separate incidents, pushing the overall toll of American losses since the March 2003 invasion to 3,801.

Why do they always have to find a downer to through in every story. You play with fire, you get burn. You fight in war and some end up getting hurt or even worse.

When all of this is looked back on by an honest historians eye, one of the things that will be found is the extremely low death rate of this war for the soldiers. The evidence is there, you just won’t hear the media reporting it.

Jack Murtha: Sad Sack

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

Jack Murtha should be and probably is the poster idiot for the anti-war left of the democrat party.

Hot Air brings us a ‘red faced’ Murtha being confronted about his insane declaration of ‘cold blooded killers’ of the Haditha Marines.

You would think the fine citizens Pennsylvania would stop sending this obviously off his rocker nut bag back to Washington. I guess they are just to addicted to all of the fat pork he keeps sending back home. Of course stuffing some in his own pocket in the transaction.

Between him had Robert Byrd, it is hard to tell who is worse. It is certainly sad to even have to ask that.

President’s Speech on Iraq

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

The speech was good but nothing really new. It matters not what the President does or says, because he is damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. Especially with the democrats and the media working against him at every turn.

So I say, stay strong Mr. President. I am and will always be on your side.

The democrats response SUCKED. Of course they always suck, because their only response ever is to contradict anything and everything the President says or does.

They are the Bizarro democrats. They are absolutely the opposite of what they should be.

democrats SUCK! May they pay in the elections come November ‘08.

Dennis Kucinich is an Idiot

Rep. Dennis Kucinich Stands Alone Opposed to Sept. 11 Commemoration Resolution

Rep. Dennis Kucinich, Democratic presidential candidate and no stranger to contrarian views, was the sole congressman Tuesday to vote against the House’s Sept. 11 commemoration resolution.

Tuesday’s nonbinding resolution was a relatively short document. It had 12 “whereas” clauses — stating things like what happened the day of the terrorist attacks, who was affected and how terrorists have been targeted since then — and six resolution paragraphs establishing Sept. 11 as a day of remembrance, extending sympathies to families of victims who died and honoring those who have fought in Afghanistan and Iraq.

“It is important that Congress wake up to the truth and exercise its obligation under the Constitution to save our nation from being destroyed from the lies that took us into Iraq, the lies that keep us there, the lies that are being used to set the stage for war against Iran and the lies that have undermined our basic civil liberties here at home,” Kucinich said in a statement.

Well, he is the representative of the people in the 10 Congressional District of Ohio (Cleveland). I guess it says as much about them as it does him. They must be happy with the retched socialist democrat. They keep sending him back.
