  • Millard explains Webb’s expulsion

    A couple of our resident IVAW refugees sent me screen shots of the entire statement that Geoff (Stolen Valor) Millard wrote and posted (somewhere) on their website explaining why the board voted to expell Carl Webb. Here’s the first part;

    letter1

    Millard goes on to explain why they banned Casey Porter for the remainder of his lifetime for advocating for the expulsion of Webb. I guess Millard doesn’t realize that Porter taking the extreme actions that he took were necessitated by the board’s inability to take decisive action against Webb.

    Millard is steeped in the mantra of “racist Americans” – if I remember correctly, his major in college was African-American studies. In his typical liberal fashion, Millard, like the Army in the case of Fort Hood murderer Major Hasan, bent over backwards to excuse Webb’s behavior based solely on Webb’s race. Um, Geoff, there are other Black members of IVAW who don’t advocate for killing our troops.

    It’s as if the Little Rascals grew up and formed a club.

  • Coalition of moonbats decending on DC

    The Far Left smells weakness in the president’s speech last night (or money) and they’ve decided to have an “emergency” protest at the White House next Saturday, December 12th. It promises to be some real entertainment;

    Speakers include: Cynthia McKinney, Sen. Mike Gravel, Kathy Kelly, Chris Hedges, David Swanson, Phyllis Bennis, Rev. Graylan Hagler, Coy McKinney, Debra Sweet, Brian Becker, Mathis Chiroux, Lynne Williams, Hon. Betty Hall, Elaine Brower, Marian Douglas, Michael Knox, Ralph Lopez, Ron Fisher, and statements from Col. Ann Wright, Stephen Zunes and Granny D (turning 100).

    I see ANSWER, IVAW, World Can’t Wait, Greens, Code Pink, VFP, the Northeast Impeachment Coalition, a 100-year-old whose sole distinction is that she’s 100 and against war, and a guy they continue to call Senator even though he hasn’t been in office for nearly 20 years.

    Their timing sucks, though. Most of the college kids in town will either be at home or taking finals. It promises to be a reunion of the Bethesda chapter of MoveOn (if they can all get day passes from the nursing home) with stirring screeches from the podium.

  • Outside of West Point last night

    Our buddy DanNY, from Gathering of Eagles; New York sent along this report from Gathering of Eagles who faced down the anti-war crowd last night as they swooned outside of the gates of West Point. He found this video which includes our two friends Elaine Brower and Matthis Chiroux (who are seen together a lot lately…I’m just sayin’…).

    Is it me, or does Chiroux sound like he’s whining to his parents that his older brother won’t let him play the video game?

    The Left estimated their numbers at 250, so it was probably closer to thirty.

    Apparently 38 groups sent a letter to the president urging him to abandon our national security so they could feel better. Our experience here at This Ain’t Hell is that 38 antiwar groups = fifteen people using moonbat math.

    Far Left Representative Barbara Lee has promised her California constituency that she’ll oppose the surge in Congress. Isn’t that racist?

  • IVAW news

    I had a voice mail message this morning which reported that, to their credit, Carl Webb of the IVAW’s terrorist wing has finally been booted out of IVAW. I haven’t got any confirmation, yet, but I noticed his profile is gone.

    In yesterday’s IVAW post, I reprinted Brandon Neely’s letter to IVAW asking them to put pressure on the board to remove Carl Webb. In that letter, Neely also mentioned Matthis Chiroux as a reason he quit the organization. Since we’re fair and balanced here at TAH (snicker), here’s Chiroux’ email to Neely in response;

    You are so far out of reality. Your continued libelous and misleading statements serve only to alienate you. Rape is a pilar of war, and while I’m not guilty of it, our military is one million times over. I listened to an 18 year old Iraqi girl last weekend testify about her experience being systematically raped by U.S. Soldiers while detained in Baghdad along with the rest of the young women on her cell block. I highly doubt this was in isolated incident. I hope her story gets out, for her sake and for yours.

    Of course, as is his method of operation, Chiroux changes the subject from his own malfeasance to something totally unrelated, unsubstantiated and unsupported by facts. Of course, Chiroux can’t speak to the facts of our mission in Iraq since he’s never been there.

    Most of us would tend to give our troops the benefit of the doubt when it comes to testimony against them that’s not given in a court of law, but not Matthis because he’s experienced the nature of war fourth-hand. He knows the awful truth about our occupation of Germany for the last sixty years or so.

    Expect more on this later as it develops.

    Oh, and Carl, since we know you’ll be here later in the day when you wake up, please don’t get your tears and snot all over everything, OK?

  • John Kerry flip-flopping again

    The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board writes this morning that John Kerry, former anti-war presidential candidate who was for the war before he was against it, is about to issue a report from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that *surprise* blames the Bush Administration for not injecting enough troops into the Afghanistan conflict initially to end the war. This is seen as political cover for the President’s anticipated deployment of 34,000 more troops into the conflict tonight.

    coming from Mr. Kerry, of all people, this criticism is nothing short of astonishing.

    In 2001, readers may recall, the Washington establishment that included Mr. Kerry was fretting about the danger in Afghanistan from committing too many troops. The New York Times made the “quagmire” point explicitly in a famous page-one analysis, and Seymour Hersh fed the cliche at The New Yorker.

    On CNN with Larry King on Dec. 15, 2001, a viewer called in to say the U.S. should “smoke [bin Laden] out” of the Tora Bora caves. Mr. Kerry responded: “For the moment what we are doing, I think, is having its impact and it is the best way to protect our troops and sort of minimalize the proximity, if you will. I think we have been doing this pretty effectively and we should continue to do it that way.” The Rumsfeld-General Tommy Franks troop strategy may have missed bin Laden, but it reflected domestic political doubts about an extended Afghan campaign.

    So, just like everything else he’s done this year, Obama will be merely fixing Bush policy, according to his defenders. I guess this more of John Kerry’s 20/20 hindsight and his wonderful ability to rewrite his own history. Don’t be surprised if film footage is released of Kerry in full combat gear patrolling on his own through the mountains of Afghanistan, peeking into caves, bayoneting hay stacks in his search for bin Laden.

  • Two more IVAW resignations

    I just got notification of three more IVAW members leaving. Here are two letters explaining their resignations to their fellows. First is Brandon Neely;

    I am former member of Iraq Veterans Against The War (IVAW). I resigned from IVAW a couple months ago when I noticed the organization as a whole going downwards. I feel now I should tell everyone why I left IVAW since there is an important vote on Tuesday by the board members of IVAW on weather to keep or kick Carl Webb out of the organization. I know some members may be aware of this situation and I also know a great percent have no clue what is or has gone on in IVAW. Many of you joined IVAW got a t-shirt and that was the last you heard from IVAW. IVAW has a set of rules know as the Code of Conduct which all members must abide by and the board members must enforce, but during my time in the organization I noticed neither of these things where going on. The Code of Conduct goes like this in IVAW: If we like you and we agree with your politics and you get media attention for yourself or IVAW its ok if you break the Code of Conduct. But if we don’t like you or agree with your politics or you don’t get media attention we are going to punish you for violating the Code of Conduct. I know of a couple incidents where this happened.

  • IVAW’s internal dissent

    I’m not sure what SSG Thompson is trying to say in his profile at IVAW, maybe you folks can decipher it for me;

  • Sheehan face-to-face with reality

    Tankerbabe sends us this link to a video of a confrontation at Travis Air Force Base. First, they demean an Air Force SP who tells them to get off of Air Force property. Then when a veteran confronts them, they shove the bull horn in his face and jump up in his face. Of course they cry like little babies when he shoves them out of his face.

    If it doesn’t get your heart going first thing this morning, nothing will. Here’s the raw video without the news report.
