Michael Moore's Minutemen Murder Civilians in Iraq (images/video)

No comment. Video can be found here (see June 25th update). Graphic images below.

No, wait, I will comment.

These are the people we are fighting in Iraq. See the face of those the Left calls 'the resistance' or the media call 'insurgents'. When they capture any one, evenn civilians, thought working with the Iraqi government they murder them. If we pull out, they will have won.

Washingtonienne: Who dat?

****EXCLUSIVE****MUST CREDIT JAWA REPORT*******

Who is Jessica Cutler, the Washingtonienne? No one, that's who. Surprised to find that Kevin Aylward is still following the story. Yawn.

If you must know a little about her and her relationship to Ana Marie 'Wonkette' Cox, check out Aylward's post. I'm sure he'll have more sordid details in the next installment.

When the story first broke the South Parkosphere (that's the South Park Republican blogosphere) had quite a fun time with this. I did, at least. There's just something intrinsically funny about a blogger who gets famous from linking to another blogger who's actual claim to fame is that she had anal sex with a Captial Hill staffer.

The real story goes something like this:

Girl writes blog: nobody notices.
Girl links other blogs: nobody notices.
Girl links blog of Capital Hill staffer, complete with sordid details of ass-sex for money: every one notices.
Girl continues writing blog, a lot more butt-sex references: MSM falls over self loving girl's blog, put her up as poster-child of blogosphere.
Nick Denton buys girl's blog: girl now hires interns to write for her.
Capital Hill whore poses for Playboy, gets book deal: a lot of Google hits for South Parkosphere because they all link to pics.

The rest of the story will read something like this:

World forgets whore, blogger still considered legitimate media voice: rumors of VH1 Surreal Life deal for forgotten whore, rumors of New York Times deal for blogger who got famous for linking to whore's story.

Yeah, that about summarizes it.

51% of Democrats Believe America Responsible for 9/11

When Reliapundit sent me an e-mail telling me 51% of Democrats thought the U.S. might be partially to blame for 9/11 I thought it had to be a mistake. Nope.

democrats_hate_america_poll.jpg

Remember the list of 'wrongdoings' given by Osama bin Laden were things like supporting Israel against nihilistic terrorism, trying to prevent warlords in Somalia from committing genocide, and being too infidelish on holy Saudi Arabian Soil. The irony of ironies, though, is the complaint by UBL and co. that Clinton had been busy bombing poor Iraqi and starving them to death with sanctions.

Maybe al Jazeera and Noam Chomsky have a larger following among Democrats than I thought?

Liberals Decide to Show Their A$$

Last night a handful of us conservative bloggers were spinning trying to confirm or deny an Arianna Huffinton story that said that Vice President Cheney was rushed to a Vail, Colorado hospital for heart problems.

Apparently, that story was poppycock. But, that's not stopping those darn liberals from saying that the White House isn't telling the truth and wishing death on the Vice President.

Despite the only facts in the case that Arianna Huffington could muster are highly speculative and also despite the fact that the VP was on a scheduled visit there these liberals still think the White House is lying.

This is a significant problem in liberalism today; throw out logic and only listen to stories that can be so easily dispelled that you have to attack others to maintain the fraction of an ounce of credibility the story had.

Fact of the matter is I think Arianna Huffington blew it on one of her first attempts to cover or create news. This could be a trend in the future for her (the next memogate starts at The Huffington Post?) and I wouldn't be surprised if she kept to her word despite the obvious fallacies in her story.

One thing is for sure, don't expect an actual apology.

UPDATE 1332 MDT: The Huffmeister has removed the comments from her site. That's really good and bad. It's good because it shows a higher moral ground than what I was expecting. It's bad because those peaceful liberals won't be able to spit their venom there anymore.

Have no fear. I have the entire page saved to my hard drive the last comment that I captured is timestamped at 1355.

UPDATE by Rusty: Yeah, it's kinda late, but Jeff Quinton wanted me to let y'all that he's following this too.

Irish Prison Reform

With worldwide attention being directed toward the prison at Guantanamo Bay, the hardships endured by prisoners in other countries are ignored. Take for example the reforms currently underway in Ireland which are destined to increase prisoner punishment.

From News.com.au:

PRISONERS in Irish jails will no longer be permitted to hire servants or order in private supplies of food and alcohol under new draft rules published today by the justice ministry.

[ ... ]

The new rules will remove outdated references to penal servitude and imprisonment with hard labour.

On the flip-side, for those on the inside at least, a provision that prisoners can use private furniture and bedding and employ an assistant to perform housekeeping tasks is also going.

They will also no longer be permitted to order in private food or alcoholic drinks.

Regulations governing prison life, such as accommodation, visiting rights, discipline, health and education, have been revamped. In addition, compulsory drug tests will be allowed.

Think about it. No pizza, no beer, and no chambermaid -- it's inhumane! It's barbaric! Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, where are you?

See-Dubya: The Italian Job, Part II

As I explain below, the capture of Abu Omar right before the war was pretty dag-blasted crucial because he was recruiting terrorists for combat in Iraq. This is a guy we need to A: stop and B: interrogate. And the only way to do that was, apparently, to kidnap him from within an allied country. Italy claims they were investigating him as well, but I can see how, with the urgency of the invasion drawing near, it wasnÂ’t feasible to leave the timing of his arrest to the Italian justice process.

IÂ’m sure this decision wasnÂ’t made lightly. If a covert operation goes awry in Syria or North Korea, well, whoÂ’s really going to be surprised? Oh, no, SyriaÂ’s going to be mad at us! Doing something like this within an allied nation, however, is really tricky. Imagine how freakinÂ’ nuts everyone here would go if, say, the Mossad or MI6 snatched a refugee off the streets of New York City. And after the Sgrena affair, this is especially troublesome for Italy.

ItÂ’s funny how prosecutors and judges can influence foreign policy. Back in the late eighties, a Florida US Attorney named Dick Gregorie indicted Manuel Noriega for drug trafficking. The CIA and State Department went spastic, since they considered Pineapple Face a valuable ally in the Cold War and were quite willing to overlook his drug dealing. But with that indictment hanging out there it became impossible to overlook it and America began moving toward the invasion of Panama.

The kidnapping is embarrassing enough, but then there’s the fact of Abu Omar’s rendition to his home country of Egypt where he claims he was tortured—like real torture, involving electric shocks, not fake Gitmo Dick Durbin torture. (Bear in mind, this is all just according to a phone call Abu Omar made. Apparently they just stopped and took the cables off and said, hey, you wanna call your family? Cause you’re going to be here a while, dude.) Now, unlike some conservatives, I don’t have much of a problem with the rendition of terrorists, or for that matter, with the rending of terrorists, or even with the rendering of terrorists in a Hormel plant where potted pork products are prepared. This case, however, kind of surprises me.

See Dubya: The Italian Job, Part I

So the CIA or some American spooky group allegedly plucks this Egyptian terrorist and terrorist recruiter named Abu Omar off the streets of Milan, and flies him to Egypt where his treatment has been less than civil. Now an Italian judge has issued warrants for the arrest of the 13-man CIA team. This is worrisome, and IÂ’ll tell you why in another post. But first, this important message:

What was Abu Omar doing?

“When he disappeared, he was under investigation in Italy for suspected ties to terrorism, including recruiting militants for Iraq.”
When was he caught doing it?
Â…was grabbed off a Milan street on Feb. 17, 2003 and stuffed into a white van.

In other words, here’s a guy recruiting Islamic “militants” for Iraq a month before we invaded. No wonder it was so important to snatch him! We needed to know what he knew. And we had to stop him from doing what he was doing.

Anyway, as if you needed more evidence of the fact, here’s another pre-war link between the “secular” Saddam and religious Islamic terrorism. And it’s also more evidence that the Iraqi insurgency was part of their original battle plan—to fall back and win through attrition what they could never win through open battle.

IÂ’m tucking away a note on blogging, news aggregators, and the wire services after the jump, since I figure not everyone will care as much about that sort of thing.

Women attacked by insurgents

Today in iraq the insurgents attacked a convoy of marines that contained women that are used to search muslim women coming and going from Fallujah.

Yahoo news story

I guess that accusation that we always attack women and children is like the pot calling the kettle black. But four of these women are still missing and presumed to be dead. I sure hope they are alive but if so I can only wonder what kind of treatment they are getting. Let's keep them and all their families in our prayers.

Also looks like Tehran mayor Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will win that countrys election. Duh.

Religion of Decapitations Update: Eight Beheaded Bodies Found in Iraq

Disgusting. AP:

Iraqi security forces discovered the bodies of eight beheaded men Friday in two villages north of Baghdad, army officers said.

Six of the bodies belonged to Shiite farmers taken from their home in Hashmiyat, 10 miles west of Baqouba, by an armed group wearing Iraqi army uniforms late Thursday, army Capt. Hashim Amer said.

They were discovered more than a mile away from the house.

"All the corpses were dumped in a deserted area, and the knife which was used to slaughter them was placed near one of the bodies," Amer said.

The other two bodies were found in al-Nahrawan district, about 12 miles southwest of Baqouba, army Maj. Fadhil al-Timimi said.

And from the book I am currently in the process of defiling:

5:33-“The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution (by beheading), or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;”

8:12- “I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off.”

47:4- “Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), strike off their heads; at length; then when you have made wide Slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives”: thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens.”

Going on Vacation With Feisty Republican Whore

Your host, Sith Master and Ph.D. of Funkology Dr. Rusty Shackleford, is going on vacation once again. This time it's a working vacation. So, I'll be here, but I just won't be here--if you get my drift.

So, I won't be able to surf around for the latest headlines and see what other bloggers are up to for the next month or so. If you see something interesting in the news, have a question, or maybe a post you want plugged just e-mail me and I'll throw something up quick. Otherwise I leave the keys to the kingdom in the competent hands of Howie, See-Dub, Mike, Chris, and Traderrob to keep you entertained.

In the meantime, I'll be preoccupied with newest sensation in the blogosphere Feisty Republican Whore who has me on 'her' People I'd like to do list.......let's just hope that when we hook up she doesn't turn out to be another Hot Abercrombie 'Chick' or Libertarian 'Girl'! Trust me, that was embarrassing.

Mmmmm, Whaleburgurs!!!

homer_simpson_drooling.gifIs there anything the Japanese can't improve? One day I hope the Japanese figure out how to flash-fry a buffallo in 30 seconds. Until then, we'll have to settle for whale burgers! Al Jazeera:


The 380-yen ($3.50) slice of fried minke whale in a bun went
on sale on Thursday at Lucky Pierrot, a restaurant chain in the port city of Hakodate on Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaido.

"We have decided to add a whale burger to our menu due to strong demand from our customers and feel very thankful to the whales for allowing us to make the burgers," said Lucky Pierrot manager Miku Oh.

"The taste and texture are somewhere between beef and fish," she said, adding: "People in Hakodate have a long history of eating whale, so customers are looking forward to trying it."

But customers wanting to try it better get there fast, the chain is currently producing only 200 burgers a day spread out over its 10 outlets.

I'm on the next plane!

Google News: US Soldier Kills Little Girl To Win Bet

Yeah, I know I linked the article in the last post but this is so outrageous..........

The article is from the openly pro-terrorist website, Jihad Unspun. Here is the disgusting article:

US Soldier Kills Little Girl To Win Bet; Fighting Continues Across Iraq

By Muhammad Abu Nasr, Free Arab Voice; Edited For Publication By JUS

US forces shot and killed a nine-year old Iraqi girl as she came out of her school following final exams in Baghdad. A medical specialist in Baghdad’s al-Yarmuk General Hospital told the correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam that an American sniper opened fire on ‘A’ishah Ahmad ‘Umar, killing her.

For its part, the US military occupation forces announced that they had begun an investigation of the Marine who shot the little girl and promised to punish him if he is found guilty.

A source in the Iraqi puppet army told Mafkarat al-Islam that the American soldier was very drunk at the time of the killing and that he was withdrawn from his observation post after the incident.

The father of ‘A’ishah, who works for the Railroad Department said that residents in the area where his little daughter was killed told him that the American had been betting with his buddies whether he could hit the little girl who had come out of the school some 700 meters from the US observation post.

For its part, the American propaganda TV station called “al-‘Iraqiyah” blamed what it called “terrorists” for the shooting of the little girl, but subsequent statements by the US military and the Iraqi puppet forces exposed the “al-‘Iraqiyah” story to be a lie.

Note to CIA/FBI: What dumbf*ck isn't doing their job and shutting sites like this down? If it is not the official policy of the U.S. government to covertly/overtly shut these kind of sites down, it ought to be.

Further, is Google News, a San Francisco based company, committing an act of treason by providing an outlet for the propaganda of an enemy that we are currently in a shooting war over?????? If this isn't 'giving aid and comfort' to the enemy, then I don't know what the hell is!!!!!

If Bush=Hitler, then wouldn't Bush's killer be a hero? (Reader threatens President)

Words have meaning. If Gitmo=gulag then anything less than armed rebellion against the United States government would be immoral.

This is why you have to chose your words carefully so that what you say actually is the same as what you mean to say. Most people who say Bush=Hitler don't actually believe that. They use the term as a rhetorical device to draw attention to what they believe are abuses by the current administration which could, using slippery slope logic, lead to fascism.

On the other hand, there are those on the Left, like Noam Chomsky, who actually believe their own inflated rhetoric. This is why I have been predicting for some time that Bush would be assasinated. Because if only half of what the Left says about Bush were true, he would deserve it.

So why is Bush still alive and kicking? Three basic choices:

a) Very few people on the Left really believe their own rhetoric. If they don't really believe it, though, they ought not write it. As I tell my students, I'm not grading you on what you intended to say, but on what you actually say. We are at war. Inflated analogies actually lead to the deaths of American soldiers in times of war. This is why Chomsky is so popular among terrorists. They have the gall to actually believe the words he writes!

b) The secret-service does a very good job. Maybe there are daily attempts to assasinate the President and they are foiled.

c) The Left is full of cowards. This is my bet.

Which leads us to this. Here is a comment left by a reader in this thread. He attempted to mask his IP, but he seems to be in Marina del Rey, CA--a fairly exclusive locale:

Dear Secret Service,

If any of you were worth your salt, you'd stop protecting George W. and consider ways of eliminating him. Think of the fame, every American knowns the names of John Booth, Lee Harvy Oswald, and John Hinkley. You'd go down in history and your name and story will be remembered. You'd be a hero and inspiration to billions of people on planet earth. What's the alternative? Dying a forgotten nobody who actually worked to protect a global tyrant? You are in a unique position to the single most important thing that you could do with your life. Rise to the occasion! Meet your destiny! Get Cheney too please!

I'm not against the troops, I just want them to lose (Religion of Peace Update)

anti_kos_logo.jpg Thanks to Eric at Vince aut Morire for e-mailing me the logo to the right, which was designed by Patrick at Clarity and Resolve.

Is it me or has the entire Leftosphere forgotten that a majority of them opposed the war in Afghanistan? Personally, I think that KKKarl Rove was wrong when he said liberals:

saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers.
Most liberals supported swift retributive action against al Qaeda and the Taliban. It needs to be remembered that a liberal is not the same as a Chomskyite Leftist.

Unfortunately, a large part of the Left blogosphere is made up of Chomskyites who say they are liberals, when actually they are far to the left of most of the Democratic party. They are no more liberals than I am a conservative. They are Leftists, or to use their own lingo, they are Progressives.

Anyway, it's the Religion of Peace Update--featuring the dhimmis on the left.

Duncan Black lied, soldiers died, er, or something like that.

Who is funding the insurgency? Leftists in Europe!

Jihad, jihad, everywhere. Either the terro-zombies are spreading, or our partners in the GWOT are finally getting serious.

Taliban sets fire to girls school (via Charles Johnson)
