  • What a peace message from the Taliban looks like.

    So it seems that the Taliban have killed Burhanuddin Rabbani, chairman of Afghanistan’s High Peace Council

    Rabbani, a former Afghan national leader, was killed and his deputy wounded as “they met two men who said they had come from Quetta, Pakistan, with a peace message from the Taliban,” said council member Habibullah Fawzi. Kabul police spokesman Hashmatullah Stanekzai said the men hid at least one bomb in their turbans, which guards failed to search when the men entered the home.

    Are we talking notes? If anyone thinks that the Taliban wants peace were they do not have control of everything is only fooling themselves.

    Dr. Abdullah Abdullah, a former presidential candidate and Northern Alliance leader, summed up the sentiments heard from many Northern Alliance figures in the wake of the assassination: “This is a lesson for all of us that we shouldn’t fool ourselves that this group, who has carried out so many crimes against the people of Afghanistan, are willing to make peace.”

    Dr. Abdullah added: “We have to be realistic about what we are up against. We are up against people who don’t believe in any humanity. They assassinate people on the streets of Kabul, they assassinate those trying to achieve peace.” Last spring the Taliban had proclaimed that they would kill members of the High Peace Council.

    “No one took it seriously and they should have and it is also time for President Karzai to wake up,” he said. “These are the people who he calls his ‘dear brothers,’ they are behind what happened.” He referred to President Hamid Karzai’s predilection for calling the insurgents “dear brothers” or “upset brothers.”

    If I another video that tries to say some useless feel good message as a legit solution for Afghanistan it will be too soon.

    Here is a interview with the late Burhanuddin Rabbani.

    He was quoted with saying the following below before the suicide bomber attack.

    “Especially in our country, there are a number of individuals who kill Muslims in the name of Muslims. We should take a clear stand against this new phenomenon when the killing of Muslims is seen as something allowable,” said Mr. Rabbani, a former jihadist and Afghan president who, for the past year, had sought in vain to negotiate with insurgents as head of Afghanistan’s High Peace Council

  • Davis-Monthan AFB Base locked down (UPDATED 2x)

    One of our PAO buddies emailed to tell us that Fox News is reporting that Davis-Monthan AFB. Base, near Tucson, AZ, is locked down after shots were fired.

    Local news reports;

    Davis-Monthan Air Force Base has stepped up security, locked down an elementary school and limited traffic in and out of the base due to an unspecified incident.

    An elementary school on the base is on lockdown, but a spokeswoman would release few details other than no one was being allowed in or out of the base.

    KOLD TV in Tucson is reporting that Sonoran Science Academy/Frank Borman Elementary on base are on lockdown, and that parents are unable to pick up students from the school.

    Now Fox is saying that base officials say no shots were fired.

    UPDATE: The Air Force Times says an armed civilian has barricaded himself in the something called “The Old Dorm”.

    UPDATE II: Stars & Stripes says no gun or gunman was found after the lockdown.

    Camp Pendleton officials said they were actively searching for Morgan, who was last seen at 7 p.m. Tuesday. Military police said he owns a white Jeep Wrangler with a black top and California license plate number 6NKZ930.

    TSO and I were just discussing the owners of Jeep Wranglers the other day, I think he said that they were the number one vehicle among subscribers to Advocate magazine.

    So you folks out there in San Diego keep your eye out for this douchebag whose boyfriend probably dumped him for a high school kid at San Clemente High School.

    Thanks to one of my ninjas for the tip.

    UPDATED: The Minneapolis Star Tribune says he turned himself in at Camp Pendleton;

    Camp Pendleton Master Sgt. Mark Oliva said 22-year-old Daniel Morgan surrendered Wednesday afternoon at the military base. He said Morgan was being interviewed and could face a military charge of unauthorized absence after failing to report to duty Wednesday morning.

  • Carson City shooter was NOT military

    That insane moron who went off in an IHOP in Carson City NV and murdered two National Guardsmen, one male and one female, turns out to be 32-year-old Eduardo Sencion who had no connection to the military despite some speculation from the media and in my email this afternoon according to the Associated Press;

    Sencion worked at a family business in South Lake Tahoe, was not in the military, and had no known affiliations with anyone inside the restaurant.

    Furlong says Sencion arrived at the IHOP Tuesday morning in a minivan registered to his brother. He had a rifle and began shooting in and around the restaurant.

    Authorities say Sencion wounded a total of seven people and killed a third person who was not a Guard member.

    I’m guessing that he went to IHOP because he wasn’t much of a marksman and that’s where he could find the most biggest targets.

    Some journalists are calling the weapon an AK47, but from my experience, everything that is a long gun and then someone uses it to shoot people is an AK47 to the press. One newspaper called it an “automatic rifle” which we all know are hard to find and then purchase. Even the Mexican cartels couldn’t talk the BATFE out of automatic rifles.

    Yeah, he’s got few years on him, but here is Dan “Rudy” Ruettiger addressing the Convention;

  • Derik Hembree arrested.

    It seems that Derik Hembree was arrested in Lawton, Okla.

    Derik Hembree was caught in Lawton, Okla. Wednesday night on a felony warrant for the kidnapping of his daughter Brooke. He has been AWOL from Fort Carson since May and his family has been worried about the safety of both him and the baby.

    Colorado Springs Police told TARGET 13 Investigates that Brooke was dropped off at a Lawton, Okla. fire station Tuesday night, with a note with all of her information.

    Brooke’s mother, Nicole Brewer, says her daughter was in good health and will be back in Colorado Thursday night.

    Also it looks like TSO’s fears about him being a crazy vet as a defense being validated.

    She tells TARGET 13 by phone that Hembree was injured in Iraq and that his personality had changed over the last year.

    “He’s been in a lot of pain and I knew the Army has got him on a lot of medication nad that’s when he started to see the change in Derik,” says Calloway.

    Update: I got a hold of author of the post about his past and he said that he would look into his military records. I will post when I get a reply.

    Update X 2

    It seems that the child was in care of the state and it was the state’s opinion that nether parent have full custody.

    Local investigators said previously that Hembree allegedly knocked on the door Tuesday night at a Lawton fire station, handed his daughter to the fireman there and ran away. It is not known why Hembree fled from Colorado with the child, who was in the custody of the Department of Human Services but living with Hembree.

    Colorado Springs authorities would not disclose why the child had been removed from her mother’s care, but a DHS representative said they preferred to place children with a family member before entering the child into foster care.

  • American Legion press release: Foster to DHS: No amnesty for illegals

    Press release y’all may be interested in:

    American Legion Commander says the backlog of VA claims should come before the concerns of those who violated the law to enter the United States.

    The American Legion adamantly opposes amnesty for illegal immigrants, and National Commander Jimmie L. Foster is deeply concerned about reports suggesting the Department of Homeland Security is considering a leniency policy that would forgive foreign law-breakers on a “case-by-case basis.”

    “Not only does this constitute an amnesty not authorized by the U.S. Congress, but it represents a horrible misuse of government assets,” Foster said. “Reports suggest ‘prosecutorial discretion’ for certain violators, meaning the law won’t be applied evenly, if at all. That does neither the illegal immigrant nor our nation any good.”
