  • Fake video causes real murder.

    Everyone should know about the shooting of the two Air Force members in Germany that were going to Afghanistan. However a few days ago the shooter explained his motive.

    Uka blamed a video purporting to show American servicemen raping a young Muslim girl for prompting him to try and stop other US soldiers from getting to Afghanistan.

    Oh an to make interesting is who make the fake video.

    But the rape footage, billed as an authentic video entitled “what was done to our sisters,” turned out to be a fake using footage scene from the 2007 anti-Iraq war film “Redacted,” directed by Hollywood’s Brian de Palma.

    So here is a case where generic stereotypes if US troops has caused US service members to be seriously wounded and killed.

    The Murder says as much about the video.

    “I thought what I saw in that video, these people would do in Afghanistan,” he told the court.

    Does anything more need to be said about this?

  • Elaine Brower avoids being rational

    While the rest of us are preparing to remember the victims of the al Qaeda unprovoked attack on the United States on September 11th, 2001, Elaine Brower and World Can’t Wait are preparing to be complete assholes;

    I guess it’s too much to ask for the hag to think for a minute about her fellow New Yorkers and fellow Americans instead of her own selfish motives to give aid and comfort to the same people who attacked the country that day.

    I hope her tits fall off.

  • Iraqis to Panetta: We like you guys after all

    The new Secretary of Defense says that the Iraqis have already agreed that US troops should stay there beyond 2011 reports Stars & Stripes;

    Six weeks after Panetta became the latest U.S. leader to press Iraq on a formal request, the Pentagon is moving forward, he said, because there is unanimous consent among key Iraqi leaders to address U.S. demands. Those demands include that Iraqis begin negotiating internally what type of U.S. training force they would like, begin a process to select a defense minister, craft a new Status of Forces Agreement and increase operations against Iranian-backed militants.

    I guess Code Pink and the Iraq Veterans Against the War won’t be helping the Obama campaign next year. And this kind of makes Dahlia Wasfi’s message empty, too. Exit question to Ward Reilly…is it still an occupation when the host country asks you to extend your presence in their nation?

  • Clarke’s cheese finally slides off his cracker

    Richard Clarke, the former CIA advisor to the White House who has been feted by the anti-war Left, including John Kerry, Code Pink, Votevets and MoveOn.org, quoted by IVAW and Veterans for Peace as an authority for their opposition to the war is finally showing what an authority he can be, by making accusations which have absolutely no basis in reality.

    Apparently, Clarke thinks the CIA tried to turn two of the 9-11 hijackers and that operation failed and was followed by a cover-up. So why does Clarke think this occurred? Because he’s been thinking about it for a long time, so it must be so. What better reason to make a documentary about an utterly unsupported theory? According to the CBS News;

    “I’ve thought a lot about this,” Clarke says in the documentary being produced by FF4 Films, in which he describes his theory as “the only conceivable reason that I’ve been able to come up with” to explain why the White House wasn’t informed of the terrorists’ presence in the country, the Beast reports.

    I’m surprised the baby whale from Flint, Michigan isn’t making it for him.

  • IVAW protests another war none of them have been to

    One of my ninjas sent me these Facebook screenshots from Mike Pysner‘s wall. I guess now that the war in Afghanistan will be winding down, they’re looking for other wars which generate them some income…wars with which none of them have experience, either. Now their struggle is with relevance;


    So did they pass the measure? Of course;

    So now they can call themselves Veterans Against Any War That ANSWER Tells Us To Be Against. Even if it’s not really a war to both sides. And they pick the side that can’t be negotiated with. See, they started bouncing back from the edge when they took up for wounded veterans, but now they’re slipping back to their old stupid habits.

    I’m just sitting here waiting for Army Sergeant’s explanation for this one.

  • How vulnerable is Obama?

    Rick Perry announced his candidacy today – read the interview at Ace of Spades.

    But you know the president is vulnerable when dingbats like Cindy Sheehan are contemplating a run at the White House in this video sent to us by ROS;

    So what makes her think she can win? She tells you in the video; “my son was killed”. What a platform.

  • Abdo indicted

    I don’tknow why, exactly, but the media is being especially quiet about this one. Anyway, Abdo was indicted in a Waco courtroom today according to the Washington Times;

    Pfc. Naser Jason Abdo, 21, was indicted in Waco on charges of possession of an unregistered destructive device, possession of a firearm and possession of ammunition by a fugitive from justice, according to federal prosecutors. He faces up to 10 years in prison on each charge if convicted.

    He is being held without bond and has yet to enter a plea. His attorney, Keith Dorsett, did not return a telephone call seeking comment Tuesday.

    I’m guessing that Keith Dorsett, his attorney was court-appointed. Mr. Dorsett, a Waco-based attorney, claims to be a former police officer and a prosecutor in my neck of the woods here in eastern West Virginia. I’m disappointed that Branum abandoned his client at the first whiff of terrorist behavior. His other clients should take that as a warning of how much Branum is committed to them. I mean, Branum dumped Abdo on Facebook – what a coward.

    IVAW hasn’t had anything to say since Jose Vasquez’ statement on the day of his arrest well, except to Mother Jones bottom boy Adam Weinstein. It’s funny how Vasquez denies that IVAW had little to do with Abdo, but my ninjas tell me that former IVAW members have kept the FBI offices across Texas busy with interviews. I’m pretty sure they’re not telling the agents that the organization had no contact with Abdo. They were lining up as soon as Abdo was arrested as if they wanted to make sure that they didn’t get implicated in something.

  • How many al Qaeda do there have to be?

    Another of those non-veterans writing at Veterans Today is Sibel Edmonds who apparently has never had anything to do with veterans according to her biography – only marginally less-qualified than senior editor Gordon Duff. Yet, like Duff, the 18-month E-3 TOC Rat, suddenly she’s an expert on military affairs.

    Today she wonders how many actual al Qaeda terrorists we’re fighting in Afghanistan. of course, she gives the Taliban a pass, because their numbers would screw up her contention that we’re only battling a few al Qaeda operatives.

    Currently we have less than 200 detainees at Guantanamo most of whom have not been proven guilty of being ‘Al Qaeda terrorists.’ Let’s be even more generous and count in those detained in other US military prisons like Bagram. Again, we are looking at 500 or so prisoners none of whom having ever been charged; none of whom legally found to be an Al Qaeda terrorist.

    The key phrase here is “legally found to be an Al Qaeda” because, again, if we were to recognize that without a trial, nothing is certain, she sounds like she has a valid point.

    Then she compares our military expenditures during the Cold War to the wars we’re currently fighting in the middle east. Of course, we also can’t count the war in Iraq as a war against al Qaeda, or the war we’re fighting in Pakistan – even though we were and are actually battling al Qaeda in both of those countries, but for Edmonds’ math to work out, we can’t count fighting al Qaeda outside of Afghanistan.

    OK, let’s accept all of Edmonds’ restrictions to arrive at her total of al Qaeda terrorists in Afghanistan. Well, she never mentions an actual number, that would require a little more than just empty blathering. But here’s my question to Sibel; how many do they need? It only took 19 al Qaeda members to inflict more damage and kill more American people than the Japanese did at Pearl Harbor.

    I think it would be more appropriate for Sibel to investigate how many actual veterans work at the web magazine called Veterans Today.
