  • Manning faces 22 more charges

    Rurik sends us this MSNBC link which announces that the Army has charged Bradley Manning, the 23-year-old former Private First Class with 22 more crimes.

    The charges filed Wednesday include 16 specifications of wrongfully causing classified material to be published on the Internet and knowing that the information would be accessed by the enemy; theft of public property or records; transmitting defense information and computer fraud.

    He was also charged with “information assurance” and “security program” violations.

    “The new charges more accurately reflect the broad scope of the crimes that Pvt. 1st Class Manning is accused of committing,” said Capt. John Haberland, a legal spokesman for the Military District of Washington.

    While conviction on the charge of “aiding the enemy” could result in the death penalty, military prosecutors recommended that he be sentenced to life in prison if convicted on that charge alone.

    I love the smell of frying bacon in the morning.

    Of course, MSNBC can’t report on Manning without stirring up some sympathy for the little traitorous turd;

    Coombs, Manning’s lawyer, has complained that his confinement conditions — in maximum custody under a “prevention of injury” watch — are unduly harsh and undermine his right to a fair trial. Manning has been confined in a 6-by-12-foot cell with a bed, a drinking fountain and a toilet for about 23 hours a day, Coombs has said.

    Anti-war groups, a psychologist group as well as filmmaker Michael Moore and Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg have called for Bradley to be released from detention. Amnesty International and other human rights organizations have condemned the Obama administration’s imprisonment conditions.

    Dude. He has a bed, a drinking fountain and a toilet? When I did my time in prison in Panama, my bed was a newspaper spread out on the concrete floor, my toilet was a one-quart milk carton, and the only time I got to drink water was at meal time. He’s got it sweet.

    And I’m sure that the Army will release him to Amnesty International and Michael Moore. Ten seconds after he is released, they’ll smuggle him to some sympathetic country in the folds of Moore’s belly fat. Since the charge of “aiding the enemy” could bring the death penalty, they ought to keep his little monkey ass in the lock up.

  • Smelly Hippies in Mad City

    Jim sent me a link to this picture that was at Gateway Pundit. We thought it might be a Vets For Peace member because of the sign next to the well-fed corpse;

    The article identified the filthy hippie as Hallis Mailen, from Madison, WI who isn’t at all a veteran, so he must’ve been all tuckered out from dragging around those dirty-ass feet, not to mention those unneeded pounds, and just sacked out next to the VFP sign.

    But, anyway, in my research on Hallis, I discovered he’s not even a union thug, so I guess he’s protesting just for the sake of protesting. He’s an unemployed holistic healer – who would have thought that someone with Hallis’ hygiene habits would have trouble finding work in which he’d have to put those hands on other people?

    Unemployed though he might be, it doesn’t appear that Hallis is missing any meals, but we can’t say the same about showers.

  • Thick-headed WI hippies

    I saw this yesterday at Ace of Spades and Blackfive. Sparky sent us a link this morning to the video that Ann Althouse and her companion shot;

    Hippies piled up their crap around a war memorial in Mad City on Friday. Ann’s companion tries to explain to the dense moron hippies how their irreverence for the meaning of the memorial could actually hurt their cause. Finally, he gets it through one of their thick heads and the bimbo promises to clean up the memorial. Well, Ann went back yesterday, and this is what the memorial looked like yesterday;

    And of course there’s no one in Madison to tell the filthy, smelly hippies to do what they know is right.

    In related news, Legal Insurrection and Gateway Pundit report that the MoveOn-sponsored nation-wide rally of one million protesters fell woefully short of their goal. I guess they’re not as popular outside their echo chamber as they thought.

  • Really? Is there a General that you do not want to Fire?

    Sure enough with Retired General McChrystal, and General Petraeus, Rethink Afghanistan is calling for the firing of Lt. Gen. William Caldwell.

    Lt. Gen. William Caldwell’s use of psychological operations (“psy-ops”) experts against Senators and congresspeople visiting Afghanistan is outrageous, and Caldwell should resign immediately.

    Caldwell is one of Petraeus’ most important subordinates in Afghanistan, charged with training the Afghan National Security Forces. According to Rolling Stone, he sought to use psy-ops specialists to manipulate Congress into providing more funds and troops for the failing war in Afghanistan.

    He and his staff reportedly sought psy-ops experts’ help to “secretly manipulate the U.S. lawmakers without their knowledge,” and wanted “pressure points” to “leverage” when pushing visiting legislators for funds. When they balked, a Caldwell spokesperson shouted, “It’s not illegal if I say it isn’t!”

    Caldwell’s actions are disrespectful, dangerous and illegal. We demand his immediate resignation. If he will not give it, the president should fire him.

    Really? This is getting birther level crazy. I think someone has watched Dr Strangelove too many times.

    ADDED: Here is a good reply to the Stones article. Thanks again to Spade for the find.

  • Irony in Wisconsin

    The Blaze puts up a video of a little fat man with a funny who ridicules Glenn Beck for pointing out that there are socialists involved in the Wisconsin protests.

    If he’d taken a breath and looked to his right or left, the little fat man with a funny hat would have nticed that there were actual socialists marching all around him complete with their socialist banners and socialist signs;

    You can taste the irony.

  • Dem does his best Gaddafi impression to rouse the union thugs

    Old Trooper sent us this link from The Hill quoting Democrats as they rouse their union thug constituents and urge them to “get a little bloody when necessary”.

    Here’s what Gaddafi said to his supporters;

    “You men and women who love Gadhafi … get out of your homes and fill the streets,” he said. “Leave your homes and attack them in their lairs.”

    And here’s Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Mass.)

    “Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary.”

    […]

    “This is going to be a struggle at least for the next two years. Let’s be serious about this. They’re not going to back down and we’re not going to back down. This is a struggle for the hearts and minds of America,” Capuano told union members.

    And, oh, how they’ll screech at the sight of their own blood. Of course, we should forgive Capuano because he probably meant blood figuratively or something. Rhetorical blood, perhaps.

    What makes it so funny is that Liberals are mostly a bunch of dainty fairies who think they’ll get to push, shove and punch without any retribution.

  • Civilians copy cat challenge coins

    At the Washington Post is an article today about the civilian world copy catting the military challenge coin tradition. Yeah, I don’t understand the value of the Ag Department or EPA handing out challenge coins, but apparently hoping to appear to have a semblance of military bearing, the Starbuck-guzzling, sandal-wearing hippies have taken up the practice;

    [I]n recent years, many outside the military have adopted the tradition, turning a sacrosanct ritual, some say, into a form of military chic that is now part of the Washington power game. The coin craze extends into almost every nook of the federal government. The secretaries of education, transportation and agriculture have coins. So does the EPA administrator, and even the Department of Agriculture’s Office of Information Technology.

    Of course, as with anything that has to do with government, the challenge coins cost the taxpayers for this bit of bureaucratic vanity.

    The Army doesn’t appropriate funds specifically for coins, making it difficult to come up with a total cost. But the headquarters of its Training and Doctrine Command, which has 44,000 soldiers and civilians assigned to it, spent $27,000 on coins last fiscal year.

    The Transportation Department spent $3,320 on coins last year. The Education Department spent $1,385. The Agriculture Department said it could not determine the cost of its coins, but said that, as with the other agencies, they are often handed out to military and law enforcement personnel as a thank-you.

    In my family, we have a grand total of two – both from different Army Chiefs of Staff. My wife got one when she was a civilian nurse at Walter Reed and I got the other one during 10th Mountain Division’s preparation for deployment to Somalia. I had to buy my own regimental coin (325th AIR) at Fort Bragg’s 82d Division museum. Somehow, I missed out on the whole challenge coin thing. I guess I spent too much time in the line units.

    But, it’s a total waste of time and money for the Ed Department and the EPA to have Challenge Coins – do they answer the challenge with doobies instead of beer? If all of these fuckers want to play soldier, let them join the military instead of puffing out their chests with our traditions.

  • Columbia U students heckled wounded vet

    ROS and Old Trooper send us a link to the NY Post about a rally at Columbia University in NYC at a town hall-style meeting in regards to returning ROTC to the campus. The speaker was Anthony Maschek, a former Army staff sergeant who had been shot eleven times and spent two year recovering at Walter Reed. Amid shouts of “Racist!” Maschek mounted the platform;

    “It doesn’t matter how you feel about the war. It doesn’t matter how you feel about fighting,” said Maschek. “There are bad men out there plotting to kill you.”

    Several students laughed and jeered the Idaho native, a 10th Mountain Division infantryman who spent two years at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington recovering from grievous wounds.

    Of course, the college’s main argument against allowing the ROTC back on campus had always been because of the ban on gays in the military, but since the ban has been lifted, they have find another excuse;

    “Transpeople are part of the Columbia community,” said senior Sean Udell at the meeting, referring to the military’s current ban on transgender soldiers.

    So, they don’t want to support war, but transgendered should be allowed to fight with the military, too? No wonder they’re still students.
