Tell me that doesn’t look like the banner for a gay dating website.
One of my ninjas who is upset that Kokesh keeps sending him shit sent that to us. I explained that TSO and i were tossed onto his mailing list, too. Somehow we got removed when we used old blog posts to sabotage his campaign.
This is from a session Matthis had with high school students in Brattleboro Union High School in Brattleboro, Vermont [(802) 257-7335 131 Fairground Rd, Brattleboro, VT];
Elaine Brower changed the settings on the original video so we couldn’t watch it, but, thanks to NotSoOldMarine who sent me a copy of the video, I put it back on YouTube and updated the description;
Notice that he’s still allowing people to call him an “Afghanistan veteran” without correcting them. I wonder what parents would say if they knew a drug-addled, admitted rapist was in their schools trying to influence their children.
The CIA Director has admitted that, to a point, “harsh interrogayion methods” were used with some success in the bin :aden operation. According to the Washington Times, Panetta said;
CIA Director Leon E. Panetta said some threads of intelligence among the multiple origins came through the use of harsh interrogation.
“Clearly, some of it came from detainees and the interrogation of detainees, but we also had information from other sources as well,” Mr. Panetta said on NBC News.
Asked to deny that waterboarding was among the tactics used to extract the intelligence that led to the successful mission, Mr. Panetta said: “No. I think some of the detainees clearly were, you know, they used these enhanced interrogation techniques against some of these detainees.”
The CIA director also said that “the debate about whether we would have gotten the same information through other approaches I think is always going to be an open question.”
That must drive the Anthony Camerino crowd crazy since Camerino has spent thousands of George Soros dollars to preach to us about how useless “torture” and being generally mean to Islamists doesn’t work as an interrogation technique. Not to mention the President.
How tough can waterboarding be if a giant pussy like Matthis can voluntarily tolerate it?
Added: “Torture lover” Uncle Jimbo on the subject at Blackfive and on Russia TV. Somehow Jim thinks that yellow suit he wore last week looks good on TV, too.
One of my ninjas sent us these screen shots of Matthis calling BS on the death of bin Laden – probably using his skills as a CSI – something else he’s never done.
Why would they need to do an autopsy, Matthis? They know how he died – there’s video of him getting a pair of lead injections. I guess all of that VA money for your education went to waste. Notice that Ethan McCord of “Collateral Murder” fame and IVAW’s Seth Manzel both “liked” his post.
Now, he’s traveled the world and you Americans are the worst people in it;
The great thing about America is that you’re free to leave anytime you want, boy-o. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Dave Thul of True North sent us link to his post about Daniel Fanning, an IVAW member, and an Al Franken staffer, who is contemplating a run at the Minnesota 8th Congressional District seat now occupied by Chip Cravaak, a Republican – the first Republican in that seat since 1947.
There’s a “Draft Daniel Fanning for Congress” Facebook page.
Fanning claims to be an actual Iraq veteran, as compared to most of the organization who haven’t set foot outside of the continental US. He testified at the Winter Soldier hearings in Silver Spring, MD in 2008 and here is his testimony;
He was just another whiny bitch private. In the same breath he complains that before their vehicles were armored, they had to ride with their weapons pointed out the window and that they had to indiscriminately return fire when when fired upon, but after they got the vehicle armor, they couldn’t return fire. he called that shameful – but what’s really shameful is a pussy who complains no matter what the policy is.
He also complains that he was forced to engage in bayonet training – his complaint was that there hadn’t been bayonet charges since the Korean War. A real soldier would know that training in all forms of combat might be useful one day, irrespective of the history of that particular skill.
Also, in his narrow private’s mind, Fanning thinks that the soldier who complained to Rumsfeld about the slow delivery of up-armored vehicles was responsible for the delivery of that equipment because the delivery came after the complaint. Maybe the delivery had already been scheduled and had nothing to do with the complaint – but not in the simple mind of a grousing private.
He claimed, back in 2008, that the military is broken making that statement based on his vast experience as a truckdriver private. Despite his evaluation, the military beat the insurgency in Irq and prevented a civil war, so I’m not sure what he means by “broken” since they’re still winning wars and kicking ass.
This is a sad statement about the Democrat Party when they can only attract broke-dick, whiny-ass privates to the party.
Recently a short film was released for a film festival in New York called “Incident in New Baghdad.” A short film about “Collateral Murder” video. While I have huge doubts when the producer, James Spione says that this is not a anti-military film. But what gets my attention is a sudden change in tone from Ethan McCord according to a article by military.com. The same one that has been reported about here many time.
After the video was released in April of 2010, McCord – by then out of the Army – wrote a public letter of apology to those injured or who lost family members in the attack. McCord told Military.com at the time that the fault lay more with loose rules of engagement than with the Soldiers.
He also criticized the video because it was presented out of context and failed to show what was happening elsewhere on the ground that might explain why the Apache crew responded as it did.
“I was upset when the … video came out. I felt they [Wikileaks] were attacking the wrong people,” he told Military.com. McCord was assigned to Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 16th Regiment. The Apaches belonged to the 227th Aviation Regiment.
Really that is totally different from what you said here.
Asked if the Collateral Damage video put soldiers in harms way, (as the Pentagon claimed), without hesitation, McCord said, “That video release did not put anyone in harm’s way.”
McCord attended the VFP Convention to give the video context:
“What that video shows is not special in any way because it shows a daily occurrence in Iraq.
“We’re killing innocent people daily in Iraq.
“Killing children daily.
“Women daily
You mean innocent people with RPGs?
While the video released by Wikileaks left open the question of whether or not the only “weapon” present was a camera carried by a Reuters photographer, the film documents that an AK-47 and an RPG were found at the scene of the initial attack – although Spione is quick to point out that the Apache crew did spot actual weapons before they fired onto the street from the skies above.
In an interview in the movie, McCord also recalls seeing an RPG near the bodies when he reached the scene.
“I enlarged the part [of the video] where you can see the weapons,” Spione said. Still photos taken by Soldiers at the time also show the weapons, he said.
Round One;
Round Two;
Mr. James Hanson, aka Mr. Cordial, emails to tell us he’ll be on Russia TV tonight with Adam Kokesh to discuss and school the youngsters on Bradley Manning and torture. He promises to “go all in Jack Bauer”.
If you miss the show, Mr. Hanson promises video tomorrow.
John Stossel asks the same question that we here at TAH have been asking since 2008 “Where Did All the Anti-War Protestors Go?“;
…the war in Afghanistan ramped up after Obama was elected. American fatalities shot up in 2009 and 2010.
The protesters have remained silent over Libya.
And I’m struck by the hypocrisy of the supposedly “anti-war” politicians who voted against Iraq, like Nancy Pelosi. Since Obama was elected, she has voted to continue the war in Afghanistan … and supported the attack on Libya.
After the anemic Code Pink/IVAW/ANSWER protest in March of 2008, we asked where the protesters have been. It seems that they weren’t really anti-war at all, but more anti-Bush. The fact that the Geezers For Sitting On Our Hands (VFP) are still trying to impeach Bush (and Nixon apparently) more than two years after he left office is proof.
