While putzing around the blogosphere I found this image that screamed out at me as the weapon of choice for terror cells and the neighborhoods that support them.

(image from Time Hath Found Us)

It might be a little bit of overkill (pun intended), but I think it would only take one or two before we'd see some mosques shut down in a heart beat(or over the lack of one).

If you fund a terrorist, you are a terrorist(and you get a MOAB), if you hide a terrorist, you are a terrorist (and you get a MOAB), if you offer assistance of any kind to a terrorist, you are a terrorist (and you get a MOAB), and if you are a terrorist, you get two MOABS, one for your immediate location, and one for your country of origin.

I know, it's getting a little late for me too! I'm just mad as hell and I'm sick and tired of hearing the word Islam and everything about it.

A great big hat tip to Tom Spence at Time Hath Found Us, who has his own message for the image.

Well my good Senator Mr. DICK Durbin of Illinois is at it again. Hey I take it out on all parties. If I disagee I say so. It seems DICK shot off at the mouth again. I've been looking for a good Democrat to vote for you know a moderate conservative honest one. Good luck Howie. Yes I'm a big fat swing voter. Kind of out of place aren't I, a moderate in a sea of heavy right wingers. But if this is the guy they are going to put on the ballot for me. Well sorry I just can't do it. Actually I've only Voted for two Democrats that I can recall. Simon and Poshard VS Ryan (that's George Ryan the crook). At least on a state or national level. In local races where I know people I tend to go more by the person than by the party.

From my ILL Republican newsletter dated 07/29.

DURBIN LEAKED INACCURATE INFORMATION TO TURLEY.U.S. Senator Dick Durbin went back on a previous denial that he was the leak for Jonathon Turley's Los Angeles Times column, published Monday, where it claimed that when Durbin asked what Supreme Court Nominee John G. Roberts would do if faced with a case that conflicted with his Catholic upbringing Roberts said he would have to recuse himself from a judgment. Turley had verified his conversation with Durbin's press secretary before publishing the story but was rebuked Tuesday by the Senator's office. On Wednesday, Durbin admitted that he was indeed the source for the column but that the account was inaccurate because Turley never identified himself as a journalist. "He (Senator Durbin) made a serious mistake that could have had major implications on the nomination process," Illinois Republican Party Chairman Andy McKenna said, "Senator Durbin's actions are disrespectful to both the integrity of t he process and the people of Illinois who demand the highest level of honesty from their U.S. Senator. (Washington times 7/27/05)

Also seems we have some out of state influence in the 8th district here in ILL.

·BEAN CAN'T RAISE CASH IN THE 8th. U.S. Rep. Melissa Bean (D-8 IL) has been raising a lot of campaign cash, the only problem is that only 7% of her individual contributors are from her district. In her Q2 FEC report, Bean raised more than $130,000 through liberal pro- choice fundraising conduit Emily's List out of Washington D.C. and over fifty percent from individuals outside of Illinois. "Melissa Bean needs to ask herself which group she wants to represent, the people of the 8th district or the people in Washington D.C.," Andy McKenna said, "The evident lack of support will catch up to her in the voting booth."

Well mark another one off the list.

First of all, a visual reminder of the Islamic agenda - courtesy of the AP and CBS (blogstorm needed), although their intention was to promote the Islamization of America, not to make us Islamo-aware (info and image previously posted).

[Image from an AP/CBS article on a phoney fatwa by terrorist supporting Islamists]

Chad at InTheBullPen provides us a very good reminder that, contrary to moonbatism, the Islamofascists were busy at trying to convert the world to Islam through violent jihad, long before Iraq. Read Chad's Bin Laden Funded Jakarta Attack; Iraq as a ‘Cause’ a Shift in Tactics? While at InTheBullPen, Chad also has a piece on Osama Bin Laden directing terrorist attacks within Saudi Arabia that provides us another little reminder that the 'religion of peace(sic)' is more about world domination and politics than theology and spiritual inspiration.

The LA Times has news that some senior authorities say there is enough anecdotal evidence to warrant concern, and suggest that whatever radicalized the British bombers could presumably also motivate Americans who have embraced Islamic extremist views expressed on websites and chat rooms, in radical mosques and elsewhere. (so when is this news and when have we had any doubts about terror cells in the U.S.? )

Victor Comras has a piece at TheCounterterrorism Blog on the funding of Iraqi insurgents coming from wealthy private donors in the Middle East and elsewhere, as well as former elements of Saddam Hussein's Baathist regime. Apparently, some experts speculated at the time of the first Gulf War that Saddam had over $5 billion stashed away in addition to the $5 billion Iraqi assets located at that time. Since then, Saddam and his cronies may have raked in more than $7-10 billion through various schemes, kickbacks, extortions, and other illicit methods. The oil for food scams were only one such source of SaddamÂ’s money. And very little of this money has yet been accounted for. (in other words, the insurgency is well funded, it's leaders are well protected in Syria, and the killing isn't going away anytime soon unless we can dry up the funds and bring a halt to Syria's participation in the terror in Iraq, and, you better believe it - elsewhere as well!)

The TimesOnline.com (UK) offers up the good news that over the past fortnight Israeli intelligence agents have noticed something distinctly odd happening on the internet - one by one, Al-QaedaÂ’s affiliated websites have vanished until only a handful remain. (Oh heck, how could that be? Must be those pesky 'British Intelligence' folks!)

"Someone has cut the line of communication between the spiritual leaders(now that's a sick as hell connotation - since when is there anything 'spiritual' about murder and mayhem?) of international terrorism and their supporters." Apparently, since 9/11 the websites have been the main links to disseminate propaganda and information to Islamofascists around the world.

The News.Telegraph tells us that Scotland Yard is investigating evidence that the two waves of terrorist attacks on London this month may have been masterminded from Saudi Arabia. (Seems as though we;ve been down this road before.)

The News.telegraph.com also provides a handy "London terror factfile" for a review of most of the happenings related to the London attacks.

Sky News reports that London police are still on high alert amid fears that a third terrorist cell could be plotting another strike on the capital. Thousands of officers are on the streets and guarding Tube and overland rail stations as the huge security operation continues. (As with the Lodi case in the U.S., we're barely seeing the tip of the iceberg relative to the number of potential terrorists and existing cells in Britain)

In the Middle East Times we see that Iraqi women are split over how great a role Islam should play in the new constitution, currently being drafted in parliament, with some fearing "a return to the Dark Ages". An early draft of the constitution published in the local Al Sabah newspaper on Tuesday made clear that Islam is to be "the official religion of the State" and "the main source of legislation".

The text of the document is supported by the conservative Shia majority in Iraq's parliament, and reads "No law that contradicts the universally agreed tenets of Islam may be enacted." But it's still up for discussion by a parliamentary committee and subject to revision. The parliamentary speaker, Hajim Al Hasani, has made it clear that he doesn't believe that it means the rule of Sharia, or Islamic law, and has said that he thinks there's an agreement [in parliament] that they should not include Sharia in the constitution." Luckily for the women, he says that "There are different interpretations of Sharia law," so "why open that door"? (But many of the women want no part of even thinking about sharia, and if that's coming from Muslim women, we all better think a little harder about that Islamic agenda we keep hearing about and work together a lot harder to prevent the AP/CBS's new flag for America becoming a reality!)

In what I consider the MUST READ of the day, there's an opinion piece in The Middle East Times by Youssef M. Ibrahima, former Middle East correspondent for The New York Times, energy editor of the Wall Street Journal, and managing director of the Dubai-based Strategic Energy Investment Group, entitled "The Muslim Mind Is On Fire."

(...) The world of Islam is on fire. Indeed, the Muslim mind is on fire. Above all, the West is now ready to take both of them on.

(...) The only accomplishment of jihadis is that now they have aroused the great "Western Tiger". There was a time when the United States and Europe welcomed Arab and Muslim immigrants, visitors and students, with open arms. London even allowed all dissidents escaping their countries to preach against those countries under the guise of political refugees.

(...) Well, that is all over now. Time has become for the big Western vengeance.

I fear those naïve Muslims who think that they are beating the West have now achieved their worst crime of all. The West is now going to war against not only Muslims, but also, sadly, Islam as a religion.

In this new cold and hot war, car bombs and suicide bombers here and there will be no match for the arsenal that those Westerners are putting together - an arsenal of laws, intelligence pooling, surveillance by satellites, armies of special forces and indeed, allies inside the Arab world who are tired of having their lives disrupted by demented so-called jihadis or those bearded preachers who, under the guise of preaching, do little to teach and much to ignite the fire, those who know little about Islam and nothing about humanity.

So isn't time that we get on with it? Maybe I should re-phrase that with - LETS GET IT ON! It's time to light up a heck of a lot more than the Muslim mind. It's time to shut down mosques with jihadi-preaching imams, profile people likely to commit acts of terror - not little old ladies and the like, stop allowing Islamic immigrants in the country and kick the ones that are here and have doubtful ambitions - out of the country to their country of origin, shut down our borders tighter than Fort Knox, stalk terrorists and kill them wherever they are, seek out terrorist sancturaries and destroy them, shut down terrorist funding and make the act a life sentence, let Syria and Iran know in no uncertain terms that if they don't stop supporting terrorism and the Iraqi insurgency - they're next, and most of all, somehow convince the Democrats that our lives depend on us working together and that they should think less like a moonbat and more like an American.

Bolton was appointed this morning. Immediately George Voinovich, Olympia Snowe, and Lincoln Chafee left the Republican Party, screaming and urinating uncontrollably, bawling about their grandchildren. Their switch surrendered control of the Senate to the Democrats, who promptly tore up the paperwork on all of Bush's judicial appointments and claimed "it'll take a couple years to find" the other copies. Then they passed a resolution condemning the Iraq War and calling for US diplomats to enter into a Native American drumming circle ritual with the leaders of terrorist-sponsoring nations in order to "heal the rifts between our cultures".

Oh, wait, none of that happened and I'm just goosing Howie a little, as he often does to me when I go off on my pet issue. Actually, the people sweating and bawling over the Bolton appointment today are Howard Dean, Kofi Annan, Dominique de Villepin, and especially Kim Jong Il, who thought he was finally done with this guy but just keeps showing up out of nowhere like Rutger Hauer in The Hitcher. Actually Kim Jong Il's not sweating since his scalp was replaced with a teflon polymer poofy hair-do.

This was the right thing to do on a personal level--Bush has a reputation for loyalty to his staff and he backed Bolton all the way. But he was backing him in the first place because it's sound policy-- we need a firm hand in steering the UN. Bolton's a great guy for this job and I'm glad Bush followed through.

He's also right for this job because in many ways, Bolton doesn't fit in with the neocon/pro-spreading-democracy tenor of much Bush's cabinet. I've heard Bolton described as a paleocon and he's certainly not a fan of excessive US entanglements nor of the advance of international law and the enthroning of international institutions. Except, of course, for the PSI (which he authored)and the Illicit Activities Initiative. Which is why he's uniquely suited to this position--busting the chops of a ridiculously corrupt and self-important institution that thinks itself the Universal and Apostolic Church of the Secular World.

If you are tired of the steady stream of bad news coming from Iraq from the MSM you are not alone. IÂ’ve been looking for good stuff when I have time. Well today I stumbled across another blogger who is doing a fantastic job of just that. He puts me to shame. Not hard to do but you have got to read this. Plenty to keep you busy for some time. See I learn something every day.

A war for the future of Iraq is going on, no doubt about it, but not all of that war is being fought with guns and explosives. Terrorists and insurgents might be killing both soldier and civilians and sabotaging infrastructure, and the Iraqi and the Coalition security forces might in turn be hunting down the enemies of the new Iraq, but every step towards self-government, every new job created, every new school opened are a small victory against those who would want to turn Iraq's clock back three or 1300 years. Below are some of these stories that often get lost in the fog and smoke of war.

Also IÂ’ve neglected Feisty the last week or so. She has a pretty good post on HillaryÂ’s crusade to save the world from GTA. Some cool comments on the C64 and Amiga 1000. Kind of gives me the idea sheÂ’s older than she lets on.

Mr. Right sends us this fine piece. If you remember last week it came out that Air America is under investigation for possibly diverting charity dollars intended to feed poor people to their propaganda operation. Thus choosing to let people go hungry. I guess all those erectile dysfunction ads just aren't paying the bills. So they have started a telethon to raise funds since they can't take rice from the mouths of babes any more.

...JERRY SPRINGER: Thank you, Janeane and Al! A big

Grudge of Berkeley, California for her generous
donation of $0.13 and a stale Cheeto, all of which she
just found by digging deep... deep into the cushions
of a couch in her dorm floor lounge! Thank you,
Carrie! Every little bit helps! And after 14 hours,
that brings our grand total to a stunning $227.69! Be
certain to stay tuned, because later on, I will be mud

Religion of peace update.....

Islamic leaders in Britain are urging their flocks to turn away from "the harbingers of hate" in the wake of a survey showing that 100,000 members of the nation's Muslim community support the London train bombers.

"The word 'Islam' means peace," insisted Rafiq Hayat, national president of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association U.K. "But we have to live by it in order to grow," he warned, in quotes picked up by the Washington Times.

A YouGov survey commissioned by the London Telegraph last week, however, shows that Hayat and other pro-Western Muslim leaders are facing an uphill battle.

Twenty-four percent of 500 Muslims responding said they sympathize with the suicide bombers. More troubling still, 6 percent said the attacks were necessary.

These "believers" ought not worry about the infidels describing them as promoters of violence and terrorist sympathizers, they validate the accusations by their own shameless admissions.

Update: More illustrations of peace and compassion......

Yeah, I'm sure the title got a lot of your attention. But it won't be me defending Frist. I'm getting a little tired of trying to find excuses for his bizarre behavior.

However, in today's edition of GOPUSA, one of our esteemed Representatives does attempt to defend Frist. It seems that Representative Paul Stanley once served as an aide for Senator Frist and was around for Frist's first hard decision which, according to him, was the confirmation of Clinton's controversial Surgeon General, Dr. Henry Foster. According to Rep. Stanley, after much discussion and debate, Frist voted for the Surgeon General's confirmation. When asked why, his only response was "Because I had more information than you did."

Rep. Stanley notes this as being indicitive of Frist's decisiveness and strength of character. I note this as being evasive and roundabout. That is the kind of answer that just reeks of "I've been painted into a corner by the Democrats and have to vote with them, but I can't say why." ANY investigative reporter, faced with an answer like that, would be digging for the truth of what happened, hoping to find whatever dirt Frist was blackmailed with.

Now, of course, I don't know if Frist was blackmailed back then any more than I know what his motivations are for coming out against the President on stem cell research. But here's what I do know.

1. Frist has show a fairly consistant record of voting RINO.
2. Frist will be running for President in 2008
3. Frist has no idea of whom he represents.

It seems to me that he's been listening to the Democrats tell him what "mainstream America" wants for too long. Maybe he should go ask mainstream America what they actually do want. Because I'm pretty sure he would get a different answer than what he's coming up with on his own. Hopefully his 2008 aspirations won't be enough to keep someone who is actually worth having in the White House from running.

On a side note, Rep. Stanley mentions an interesting idea for 2008. Have Fred Thompson run for President. I'm not sure exactly about his politics, but I know that he would be well recognized and well liked. It would probably be about as good a chance as we have for continuing Conservative reign.

(Ft. Worth, Texas) A teacher at Holy Trinity Catholic School in Grapevine, Dawn Reiser, 30, was arrested last year and charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child for allegedly having an extended-term sexual relationship with her 13-year-old student. Today, her trial starts in Criminal District Court No. 2 in Fort Worth.

From Star-Telegram.com:

Reiser befriended the boy at the Grapevine school, where she had worked for four years.

According to a search warrant affidavit, Reiser kept in contact with the boy in the spring of 2004 by calling him on the telephone, emailing him and meeting with him without his mother's knowledge.

At some point, Reiser told the boy that she loved him, and they discussed getting married when he turned 18, the search and arrest warrants state.

The boy told Colleyville police that Reiser picked him up June 10, 2004, at his house and drove him to her Euless home, according to the affidavits. Her husband was not there.

The boy told police that Reiser tied his arms to a bedpost with black silk ties and spread warming lotion on him, the search warrant states. For the next three hours, they had sex "nine or 12 times," and Reiser performed a sex act on him, according to the affidavits.

Days after that encounter, the boy went to the Christian summer camp, where he received what appeared to be "love letters," the affidavits state.

If convicted, the 30-year-old Reiser could get life in prison on the assault charge and 20 years on the indecency charge. It's unknown what Mr. Reiser thinks of the situation.

Within the past week, there have been a number of female sex abuse cases reported, seemingly a spike. Dawn Reiser's case is somewhat unique in that it's the first time I've heard of an adult woman introducing a child to bondage sex. For consenting adults, it might be considered kinky. This case is a sick perversion.

[Update 8/05/05, 0630 EDT]

Reiser was convicted and sentenced to eight years in prison, to permanent loss of teaching credentials, and to register as a sex offender. Both the prosecution and defense were satisfied with the punishment.

So anyway, I'm gonna be down near the National Mall tomorrow morning, in case anyone wants to meet for hot dogs or pizza or something. Pretty close to the Air and Space Museum, or the Smithsonian "Castle." Should be free by about 10:00 AM in case there are any Jihadists who would like to take a shot at me. Which wouldn't be that tough to do, since I can't carry in "The District." About as vulnerable as I can be. Well, for a macho sonofabitch, I mean.

Just give me a time and place. Like the X-15 exhibit in the A&S Museum at 10:30AM? How about that?

I'm not going near that reflecting pool though. And I'm in a real shitty mood, so don't count on much scintilating conversation. It's freakin' July in the swamp, after all.

Can anyone please explain to me why the AP and CBS rush to bring us a phony fatwah story along with the image below on the right of a Muslim and a Crescent defaming our national symbol, but totally ignore the story behind the man and the image below on the left?

(Image on left is the Navy Cross, via Bob Lonsberry and Mary Jones. The disgusting image on the right that defames our nation's flag and in effect, symbolizes an Islamic takeover of America, is from the AP and CBS)

Had I not received an email about this I wouldn't have known about it either.

"The odd fact about the American media in this war is that it's not covering the American military. The most plugged-in nation in the world is receiving virtually no true information about what its' warriors are doing." If it doesn't undermine the war effort and our nation's effort to keep Islamofascists from blowing us up and replacing every church and synagogue in America and Europe with a mosque, the press doesn't report it.

For those of you who might not know, the man on the left in the image below is the Commandant of the Marine Corps, and he is proud to know the man on the right.

Meet Brian Chontosh, the man on the right; Churchville-Chili Central School Class of 1991, proud graduate of the Rochester Institute of Technology, husband and about-to-be father, First lieutenant (now Captain) in the United States Marine Corps, and a genuine hero.

At 29 Palms in California Brian Chontosh was presented with the Navy Cross, the second highest award for combat bravery the United States can bestow. And "That's a big deal." But you didn't see it on the network news that night. And all you'd have read in Brian's hometown newspaper is two paragraphs of nothing.

All we get from the likes of the AP, CBS, and most of the MSM is a "non-stop feed of gloom and doom," but we get nothing about our progress in Iraq and on the War on Terror, and worst of all, we don't hear about our American heroes, the guys fighting and dying in the crotch of the world so all of us can continue on with our lives and the MSM can continue it's anti-military, anti-administration, anti-American, ostrich-imitating rants.

As Bob Lonsberry writes in the tribute to Capt Chontosh, "Accounts of American valor are dismissed by the press as propaganda, yet accounts of American difficulties are heralded as objectivity. It makes you wonder if the role of the media is to inform or to depress - to report or to deride. To tell the truth, or to feed us lies."

And as for our incredibly brave GIs who honorably do their duty, the ones "our grandparents would have carried on their shoulders down Fifth Avenue," well, we never hear anything from the media about them, and because of the MSM's failure to report what's right with our country, guys like Capt Brian Chontosh go completely ignored.

It was a year ago on the march into Baghdad. Brian Chontosh was a platoon leader rolling up Highway 1 in a humvee. When all hell broke loose.

Ambush city.

The young Marines were being cut to ribbons. Mortars, machine guns, rocket propelled grenades.

And the kid out of Churchville was in charge. It was do or die and it was up to him.

Al-Qaeda's websites are getting blasted off the airwaves, one by one, and the London Times and Israel think it's MI5 getting frisky:

The web has become the new battleground of terrorism, permitting a freedom of communication denied to such organisations as the IRA a couple of decades ago.

One global jihad site terminated recently was an inflammatory Pakistani site, www.mojihedun.com, in which a section entitled How to Strike a European City gave full technical instructions. Tens of similar sites, some offering detailed information on how to build and use biological weapons, have also been shut down. However, Islamic sites believed to be “moderate”, remain.

One belongs to the London-based Syrian cleric Abu Basir al-Tartusi, whose www.abubaseer.bizland.com remained operative after he condemned the London bombings.

Don't they wish they'd done this two months ago? (H/T: Little Green Fooballs)

Me? I think there's a certain little Jawa out there, fooling with their droids.

And speaking of the IRA...you know that "shoot subway bombers in the head" policy in Britain that some folks are getting upset about? It dates back to the Thatcher years. From the American Spectator:

If shoot-to-kill for suspected bombers was good enough for the IRA under Thatcher, why should al Qaeda get a pass under Blair?

Umm...because Abu Ghraib? No wait, I know this one...Guantanamo! Or maybe Imperialism! Blood for oil! I got it....Karl Rove!

According to new reports, Osman Hussain, the suspect arrested in Italy following the botched London 7/21 bombings claims that they didn't intend to hurt anybody. Hussain doesn't consider himself a terrorist, and is fighting extradition to the UK.

Yeah, that's the ticket.

From the Associated Press:

ROME (AP) - A suspect in the failed London transit bombings admitted Saturday to a role in the attack but said it was only intended to be an attention-grabbing strike, not a deadly one, a legal expert familiar with the investigation said.

Osman Hussain told interrogators he wasn't carrying enough explosives even to "harm people nearby," the expert told The Associated Press. The expert spoke on condition of anonymity, citing the ongoing investigation, which under Italian law must remain secret.

Via Dr. Rusty Shackelford who was tipped to the story by reader Kim.

6 There have been many ignorant statements by politicians responsible for taking us into the war in Iraq. The thread that stiches them all together is a breathtaking lack of historical knowledge, illustrated again by former UKs Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon. His explanation for the bloodbath: "I don't think we appreciated the level of fanaticism and sheer anarchic violence people were prepared to employ to oppose the creation of a democratic society." Why Not? Hoon and Co had plenty of warning before the invasion. All he needed was a knowledge of history to realise it was a good bet Iraq would become a battleground, not just between the rival Muslim ethnic groups but between traditional and fundamentalist factions. A recipe for disaster where the immediate beneficiaries would be the terror groups the invasion was designed to defeat. Now even Donald Rumsfeld is talking about troop withdrawal. If the US were to do that before Iraq achieves peaceful normality it would be the ultimate betrayal and a gift to the fanatics. A war on terror lost.

It was two days ago on Friday thatÂ’s about 48 hours ago from today Sunday. When my Friends and I were all hanging out at RustyÂ’s blog.
But RustyÂ’s blog is not he name of the blog itÂ’s just the name of the song.ThatÂ’s why I call the song RustyÂ’s blog.

We all decided that it would be a nice gesture if we all posted stuff and commented on RustyÂ’s blog while he was on vacation.
So we packed up PCÂ’s, MacÂ’s and implements of destruction, loaded them all up in a green VW microbus and headed on over to the mu.nu domain.

When we got there we saw a pile of words. We figured one big pile was better than a bunch of little piles and rather than download his we decided to upload ours and thatÂ’s what we did.
Went home drank a bottle of homemade wine that couldnÂ’t be beat and didnÂ’t get up until the next morning. When we got a call from Officer Opie.

He said KidÂ…. Â…. We found your name on a piece of trash on the blog. We donÂ’t like your kind. And weÂ’re gonna move you down.
And after speaking of it for about 25 minutes on the gmail it came down to the fact that we were going to have to come down to the blog office.

When we got there was some good looking feisty girl sitting at a desk giving directions she said, “Go over there and wait on that bench marked group W”.
Group W is where they put you if you may not be moral or smart enough to post stuff on the blog after comiting your special blog crime.

There were all kinds of nasty critters sitting there on the bench. Greg, DSM, Greyrooster, IM, Filthy, Osama, Â…Â… There were commentrapers Â… Â… bloggerstabbers. Â…. .Â…bloggerrapers!!!Â…
They were all mean and nasty sounding and the biggest meanest ugliest bloggerraper of em all was coming right over to me and he was all mean and nasty and scary lookinÂ’.

He said, “What did you get?”

I said, “I didn’t get nothing, just had to pay $50 and let people read my garbage.”

They asked, “What are you here for?” and I said, “littering.”…. …. Well they all moved away from me there on the bench. …… ……

Till I said, “And creating a nuisance.” And they all came back and we had a good time talking about bloggerstabin’, comment rapin’, stupid postin’ and all kinds of groovy things.

Then Sith Master Rusty came over and said,

“Kid!”…………..

“Thisblog’sgot40000hits30000readers- 200regularcommenters23authorsi

We all went back home had another glass of homemade wine that couldnÂ’t be beat and didnÂ’t get up until the next morning. When it was time to go back to work. .
IÂ’ve been typing this crap for 25 minutes and I could go on for another 25 minutes. IÂ’m not proud Â… Â… or tired. But IÂ’ll give you a break and save it.

Guest posters and regulars have at it, commentators too, remember you are without trolls this week. DonÂ’t let me get too bored or IÂ’ll post something or start an argument. IÂ’ll be around if anyone needs anything I should have a bit of time now and then. Rusty should be back next week.

Well, that was disappointing. Not that Bochco's new show about the Iraq War offended me as an American - I didn't get the impression that a leftist, anti-war agenda was being pushed. No, Over There offended me as a writer.

And the show's writers started sucking right off the bat. From the Viet Vet cliché trooper lighting up a joint while on duty through the long, long tirade the held-past-his-tour-and-pissed-as-Hell sergeant inflicts on his squad, to the unimaginative use of cable-permitted expletives, Bochco's writing staff was underwhelming.

Do senior officers undermine their lieutenants' authority (and the chain of command) by agreeing with a sergeant who has just insulted the lieutenant's leadership abilities - in front of the men? I hope not.

Do sergeants address senior officers with contempt while using "goddamn" as a frequent modifier? Maybe once.

A flailing President and a failed Presidency best sums up the tenure of Jimmy Carter in the White House. A one term President who's naiveity was surpassed only by his intellectual bewilderment. A Don Quixote mentality without the heart to do battle.

BIRMINGHAM, England — Former President Jimmy Carter said Saturday the detention of terror suspects at the Guantanamo Bay Naval base was an embarrassment and had given extremists an excuse to attack the United States.

Carter also criticized the U.S.-led war in Iraq as "unnecessary and unjust."

"I think what's going on in Guantanamo Bay and other places is a disgrace to the U.S.A.," he told a news conference at the Baptist World Alliance's centenary conference in Birmingham, England.

"I wouldn't say it's the cause of terrorism, but it has given impetus and excuses to potential terrorists to lash out at our country and justify their despicable acts."

Carter said, however, that terrorist acts could not be justified, and that while Guantanamo "may be an aggravating factor ... it's not the basis of terrorism."

Critics of President Bush's administration have long accused the U.S. government of unjustly detaining terror suspects at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base on the southeastern tip of Cuba. Hundreds of men have been held indefinitely at the prison, without charge or access to lawyers.

"What has happened at Guantanamo Bay ... does not represent the will of the American people," Carter said. "I'm embarrassed about it, I think its wrong. I think it does give terrorists an unwarranted excuse to use the despicable means to hurt innocent people."

4 So, your theory is the Iraq war is justified because you don't like Jimmy Carter? Makes perfect nonsense as most people who aren't looking at the facts do. It's called atack the attacker to make your point. What your point is I don't know other than Jimmy Carter, in your belief, was a horrible President so he must be wrong. Bush, who isn't even our elected president, is justified because he said so. Which also makes no sense. Hopefully the people that really care about America will wake up and see what's happened to them before it's too late. Hopefully they won't continue to attack someone, who by the way on a Nobel Peace Prize, who just might be right but they don't agree with. We are even though. I don't like George Bush. I like humanitarians instead of whatever you want to call what we have in the White House now.

6 The most crooked President in the history of America. He sold me on his plan to do away with the IRS and install an 12% flat tax. I only voted for this crook once. But it was the worst lapse of judgement in my life. What a scoundrel!

Posted by: Rod Stanton at July 30, 2005 09:21 PM (Z6yVb)

7 Shae, your paragraph contains so many idiotic statements, they aren't even worthy of taking the time to attack individually. Carter was an inept President. He, himself, characterized the economy under his own adminstration as being in a 'malaise'. Even most democrats think he was a bad President. And maybe you're too busy organizing your next PETA rally, but the election was on all the TV channels last November and Bush was, indeed, elected to the office of President with a record vote total of over 63 million and more than 50% of the popular vote - which Clinton didn't accomplish in either of his elections. So, get over it already. By the way, the Nobel Prize is awarded by the same type of Euros that are in the UN. It's pretty well-known that Carter has never met a dictator he didn't like. I guess since you don't keep up on current events such as US elections, I'll go out on a limb and guess that you weren't aware that any time a third-world dictator wants his election 'certified', Carter is already on speed-dial. Unbelievable. The audacity to compare Carter to any of our good Presidents is beyond comprehension. Any discussion of Carter should only be whether he is just the worst modern day President or the worst of all-time. I'm going remind you again. Bush won the election. You're opinion of him is in the minority. Get used to that losing feeling in the pit of your stomach.

8 Peanut Jim is the only president ever to have a new word coined just to describe the condition of the economy during his watch; stagflation, a combination of stagnated growth and runaway, triple digit inflation. He also presided over the ruin of the CIA and the military. He is also a traitor, as he went to Russia in 1984 to try to convince our enemies to help defeat Regan. He is a lowlife piece of shit who should be hanged and publicly exhibited for the amusement of the crows as an example.

9 Carter doesn't just jack his jaws, he works. He wasn't a very good president, but that doesn't mean whatever he says should be automatically ridiculed and discounted. A lot of people actually agree with him about cuba, on both the right and left.

10 Carter feels we should do the same thing now that he did back when he was Pres when the hostages were taken...nothing, but sit back and whine and beg....spineless bastard....go back to the peanut farm and take care of youre drunken brother, Billy....maybe he should go to Iraq and build houses there for the Iraqi people and do something constructive for the war effort instead of trying to knock it all down

Posted by: THANOS35 at July 30, 2005 11:04 PM (9gFP6)

11 Carter is a perfect example of the liberal leftist religious whack job. These are the same people who have led the divestment campaign against Israel by the Anglican Church. One wonders whether any of these people have ever read any history, much less the Bible that they claim allegiance to. They seek to blame the US for every problem in the World. You will never hear them condemn the terrorists or the thugs. Carter has also done irreparable harm to democracy throughout the World as he goes around and supposedly oversees elections to make sure they are fair. He has never seem a dictator he didn't like.(Castro, Mugabe, etc.) The real problem is that he lends legitimacy to these thugs. The fact that he is able to do these things shows how fragile democracy is in the World. He should not be tolerated by either his fellow Democrats or the Bush Administration.

Posted by: jesusland joe at July 30, 2005 11:19 PM (DDXXI)

12 Jhimmi Carter, who so holds the office of the President in such contempt he travels the world and undermines it, is a fine contemporary example of the Midrash adage: “He who becomes compassionate to the cruel will ultimately become cruel to the compassionate.” He is one of those grand humanitarians who loves The People and despises individuals.

13 So the "Jawa Report" takes a lesson from Karl Rove's playbook, I see. It's the one titled, "Dealing with upleasant facts." Let's see what Rove has to say about that... "Whenever the message is not what we're trying to force on the American people, attack the messenger. Worked great on Wilson." Too bad for you guys that Carter, in this instance, is spot-on correct. There is no justification for the Iraq War. No WMD, no nukes, no Saddam-al-qaida connection. Nothing. No reason for us to be there. And he's absolutely right on Gitmo. Since it's only possible to support the Bush administration through an act of religious faith that requires one to eschew all evidence in favor of glib talking points, try this one: American's don't torture people. Repeat until it takes hold.

Saddam Hussein must be feeling mighty lonely puttering around his garden writing his poetry tearing the wings off of flyÂ’s and thinking now you are just like me Mr. fly as a tear runs down his cheek. Lonely days waiting for his meals to be served that delicious US Army chow that thirty million starving African would gladly give their right arm to be eating to. Support the Jimmy Carter challenge send him to Iraq to build houses.

17 Utterly irrelevant, killing the messenger, thereby ignoring the message. Let's talk about what former President Carter was reported to have said: 1. Guantanamo abuses are an embarassment that give terrorists an excuse to attack the US. You find the abuses at Guantanamo one of the great achievements of the Bush administration? Do you deny they feed anti-American propaganda efforts? Carter, of course, is absolutely right. 2. The Iraq war was unnecessary and unjust. There were no wmd's the only immediately imminent threat; the rest - the cakewalk, the flowers and kisses - is just neocon speculation which has no basis in consensual reality. Furthermore, Saddam had nothing to do with al Qaeda terrorism. Once again, Carter is right; the Bush/Iraq war was unnecessary. As for being unjust, which sound a little odd, let's not forget the full story of Fallujah has yet to be told publicly. Independent observers compared what happened there to Dresden. Diss the messenger all you want. But sooner or later, you're going to have to deal with the message. And Carter's absolutely right.

18 This whole diary is an exercise in third-grade revisionist history. Containing Carter's presidency into beaten-to-death cliches his critics pinned on him long ago. Let's not forget that he was the original dark-horse populist Christian from the south who served in the Navy as a nuclear expert and was well grounded as the guy next door who you could trust for straight answers. He was the guy who honestly tried to grapple with the looming energy crisis and the danger to National Security our dependance on foreign oil is. He was guilty of being too far ahead of his time when most americans longed for a simple black and white delusion the Reagan presidency offered. Us against the World. We fell for it and continue to pay like village idiots who can't muster up enough sophistication to know even where Iraq is located on a map. Yeah, he was a "traitor and piece of shit"?! What does that say about your complete inability to lend any reasonable light on his service to our country? This President may not have been politically succesful enough to justify the laurels of who we judge to be great based on "effectiveness". But those metrics are elusive as far as history is concerned. He well may go down as the Greatest President in terms of honesty, evenhandedness, judgement, and perseverence. Too many people even today have to much respect for this man to accept the comments here as anything but flat out hysterical and bogus.

20 What Guantanamo abuses are you people talking about? The only abuse I see is what our soldiers have to take from these thugs they are guarding down there. Of course, the propaganda put out by Carter, a useful idiot if there ever was one, has definitely given the jihadis all the ammunition they need to promote their cause. Al-Jeezera and all the other Arab propaganda outlets promote the jihad agenda by the hour. CNN and other US outlets give aid and comfort to jihad tv by reporting minor abuses as if it is torture. They then turn around and glorify these thugs who are chopping people's heads off. Day after day, hour after hour, the jihad TV networks report the alleged abuse of Arabs and Muslims, but never report the terror, murder, and general mayhem committed by these people in Iraq, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Phillipines, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Britain, Denmark, and many other places in the World. Religion of Peace my ass. You useful idiots on the left have an agenda also. You really hate the US and want it to fail. That's ok with me, you just ought to have the guts to say it.

21 Jimmy Carter is the original hugs not guns President. The list of his failures looks like a French History lesson. His experiences in the Navy predate his experiences from the time he found God and was saved. WW2 Jimmy was more likely to nuke someone than the religous sellout who became president. He failed to become Gov of Georgia, until he began lying to the blacks in the south about his anti-racism beliefs. He used the blacks in Georgia to gain office, and then drove the state into debt to create the new Georgia order. Fortunately, we all recovered, and are now on a true path that has achieved equality. He is blind and unworthy of a place in the worlld forum. The fact he was able to broker the peace between Isreal and Egypt only shows how desperately the two countries wanted it to begin with. He shames us in Georgia with his back stabbing rhetoric, and will only truley serve his country best wne he meets his maker.

23 Pete Fischer has an execellent commentary, here is a snippet http://www.renewamerica.us/columns/fisher/050731 But what terrorists love are Liberals who side with them against their own nation and call for talks and peace. Because they know it gives them more time to plan, more time to amass weapons of destruction, and more time to catch them off guard. After all, the last time we had a spineless president; it gave the terrorist world 444 days to gain face in their own dark world for having bought the USA shame by kidnapping our citizens. Take your little grudge and use that anger to do something constructive, but leave the protection of this nation to those who have the will and the backbone to do just that. We have little patience for criticism from someone who failed to live up to his own oath of office. It is not action that incites these monsters, it is the inaction that emboldens them to continue striking while they hope and pray another Liberal will get into office and "talk" long enough for them to become stronger for their next strike.

Posted by: traderrob at July 31, 2005 04:04 PM (3al54)

24 Exactly. The peoples and culture of that region respect backbone. Cowardess acts (or non-actions) as were done under the Clinton administration are what led to them being emboldened to act as they have towards the US over the past years ... beginning with the first trade center bombing when Clinton did nothing about it.

Posted by: Jonathan at July 31, 2005 04:27 PM (M7kiy)

25 So, Bush attacking the wrong country and stirring up a hornest nest is better than what Clinton did? Are those troops dying in Iraq 'protecting and serving' the Constitution? No president is perfect (especially Carter). They are all flawed and all served by petty, ambitious, backstabbing bastards. Some of you need to remember this in your current hero worship.

Posted by: Adam at July 31, 2005 04:55 PM (5DbtM)

26 Adam, wake up! I'm not worshiping Bush or any other president. What I see is a group of people(Islamists, jihadis, Islamofacists, fundamentalists,etc.) who want to take us back to the Dark Ages(literally). There are only a few leaders in the world(Bush, Blair, and the chap in Australia) who are willing to take these people on. Bush is hardly perfect, but I honestly believe he is trying to turn the tide in the Middle East to democracy. It is the only chance we have to avert a catastrophe. I do not believe that the Arabs and Muslims will ever love us, but that is not what I wish for them. I want them to have the same chance that I have to raise a family, work hard and be rewarded for it, and to have a decent, safe place to live in. When they have this, I believe they will be too busy with the business of life to be suicide bombers and terrorists. What I do know is that the civilized world cannot afford to lose this fight in Iraq. Whether you agree on how we got there, the results of defeat would be too terrible to contemplate. Suffice it to say that the modern world would not be as we know it today.

27 Carter should stick to doing what he does best--nailing wood together.

Posted by: Young Bourbon Professional at August 01, 2005 09:12 AM (x+5JB)

28 Here is my 2 cents. The only reason Jimmy was elected President was due to timing and political party. The Democrats were destined to win the 1976 election due to the facts that the American people were fed up with the Republicans, (aka Watergate) who were a bunch of crooks (then and now). Now I do feel that Mr. Jimmy was one of the worst Presidents because not only did he give away the Panama canal, but he gave away our pride also. He made the United States look like a fool. As for the war in Iraq being legal or not, it is obviously legal. The U.S. Congress officially declared war on Iraq. (Unlike Korea or Vietnam.) Now was the war just? Yes, even forgetting about WMD and terrorist, Saddam refused to abide by the UN decisions forced upon him at the end of the first Gulf War. Those are the reason why this is a just war. As for Mr George W. being a traitor? No, I donÂ’t feel he is a traitor. He had the ok from the Congress to start the war. He has the right as CNC to order troops around. Now,I do feel he was an idiot for jumping the gun, and not waiting for all of our troops to be in positions before he started. But he at least did not give away our pride as Mr. Jimmy. Now do I like Mr. George W.? Far from it. I believe Cheney and him to be some of the biggest crooks in office. You can see them blatantly stealing from the US people. But I would have to say, if I had a choice between who I would want in office between Jimmy and Bush, I would have to go Bush.
