The "Art" of Bombmaking
An artist in Brooklyn has decided to create a rather explosive piece for a display at the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council right before September 11. And what is this "art" that he is creating? A
suitcase bomb. That's right, he is creating a fully functional suitcase bomb complete with remote detonation cell phone trigger.
Of course, it could be truly inert: Mr. Hackett’s bomb could be a conceptual hoax. On display, the suitcase, he said, will be open to afford a view of its workings; whether it is truly operational, as he claims, is something only he will know. It will probably not, as the artist joked, have “a big red ‘Do Not Push!’ button.”
And that, as far as I'm concerned, is the only thing that will keep him from getting arrested immediately. As it is, I still think the police should test it and if it's live, he should be locked up.

Where is Ascroft? We need him back. Suitcase bomb building in NY. Can we grow some brains and balls on Alberto? Why has Bush become so close to the ACLU the last 9 months? Get the London cops and shoot the SOB! There have always been limits on "free speech".

God I hate these talentless hacks who call themselves artists. Adolph Hitler was an artist you know. Well, he painted watercolors, and not too bad either, but he didn't get into art school so he had a hissy and murdered millions of people. And he was a vegetarian. And a big mama's boy who hated his father. Typical liberal. But I digress. Can't someone in the Rotten Apple have this guy whacked?

At least he's a persistant idiot
Paul Krugman has completely outdone himself. Last week, the moron wrote a story (it must be a story, there's no truth in it), claiming that Gore won the 2000 election. Several conservative bloggers took him to task for this ignorant statement which has been proven wrong again and again.
Today, he attempts to justify his lies by repeating them.
The 2000 election is still an open sore on the body politic. That was clear from the outraged reaction to my mention last week of what would have happened with a full statewide manual recount of Florida.
This reaction seems to confuse three questions. One is what would have happened if the U.S. Supreme Court hadn't intervened; the answer is that unless the judge overseeing the recount had revised his order (which is a possibility), George W. Bush would still have been declared the winner.
Which is what happened regardless of what you wanted to happen.
The second is what would have happened if there had been a full, statewide manual recount - as there should have been. The probable answer is that Al Gore would have won, by a tiny margin. (emphasis mine)
I won't call this an outright lie because he did say "probable." But that is the only reason it's not an outright lie and certainly not what he was claiming last week.

Re: the felon purging
A little known tidbit is that had the Democrats not insisted that race, age, or any other criteria NOT be used to determine whether they had the right person (they used the discrimination card to push this) the purging would have been more accurate.
Re: butterfly ballots
I've used those and those little chads pop right out. No problem.
If Krugman believes "There was an understandable urge to put the story behind us" then why is he trying to ressurect the anger?
Idiot is too kind a word.

Paul Krugman is a nothing more than a political hack for the far left. Call him a whore or a shill, as both apply. He saw the crazies down in Atlanta a couple of weeks ago and was inspired to do a story on the "stolen" 2000 election. And I do mean story(my mother would tear my butt up for telling such a whopper).
I assume he didn't grow up in Texas or he would know better than to lie like that. Must have grown up in a blue state where they teach that the ends always justify the means. We learned just the opposite down here in Texas(other than at Austin).

As Austin Bay says:
"Fire Paul Krugman and replace him with a real economist like Arnold Kling or Walter Williams. KrugmanÂ’s been predicting economic doom for four years. He needs to get a sign and walk the streets, not write a newspaper column."

Sorry, but I'm with the ACLU on the item posted above. As a Jew, I'd rather not swear on the New Testament. I can perfectly understand if a Muslim wishes to swear on a copy of the Koran. This is a case of simple religious tolerance and respect, not some creeping anti-christian bias.
The judge is genuinely in breach of the Establishment Clause.

If the Dems go with Hillary it's a looser. They need new blood not the same old tired people they have now. Gingrich looks pretty good. I like him. I like McCain too. Already we have way better candidates. Even if ya don't like McCain he'll smoke Clinton. She's more of a turn off than Bill.

The last two chapters of a review of Weigel's book "The Cube and the Cathedral: Europe, America, and Politics without God":
"In the book’s closing chapters, Weigel entertains a series of possible outcomes for Europe. The chances of the EU’s dream of a post-Christian perpetual peace are slim to none; Weigel more realistically predicts that Europe’s various muddles will persist into the foreseeable future. He finds hope for Continental renewal in the still active Catholicism of Central and Eastern European nations, and in a Continent-wide critical mass of energetic Catholic youth rejecting the wayward wobbles of recent generations for the deep reserves of Christian Europe. The darkest possible outcome, according to Weigel, would be “1683 Reversed”: the continued large-scale immigration into Europe of Muslims armed with very different ideas about religion and politics. If current trends continue, these immigrants would encounter a Continent equipped to welcome them with only self-inflicted cultural amnesia, watery pluralism, and mundane humanism. Passion for the crescent would overwhelm indifference to the Cross, and these new Europeans would take charge of a demographic and democratic wasteland.
This last matter suggests most immediately why Americans have a stake in Europe’s future: Though it would take decades for such a situation to develop, a Europe potentially defined from its leadership down by a broadly anti-Western Muslim majority would pose striking civilizational challenges to the U.S. Yet for all his concern and complaint, Weigel refuses to abandon Europe to itself, and he demands the same of his readers — specifically in how we understand our own historical formation. Though patriotic amnesiacs may resist him, Weigel emphasizes that the success of the American experiment owes a great deal to the influence of Old World civilization. While qualifications and refusals of this fact have been made from Emerson’s time through our own, The Cube and the Cathedral makes powerfully clear the self-destructive consequences of squandering one’s inheritance."

Brushstrokes in Mosul
Rusty wrote about something I neglected, because I wasn't sure how to frame the issue. I considered posting something using precisely
the same quote from Michael Yon that Dr. Shackleford used
here. While folks like Chuck Hagel suggest we're losing in Iraq, based on the train wreck of incompetent reporting and distorted information provided by MSM, genuinely astonishing things are happening that point to precisely the opposite conclusion. Does anyone understand how difficult a global war against stateless totalitarianism actually is? And does anyone appreciate the almost-miraculous fact that we're not just holding our own, but beating them at their own game one small victory at a time?

You guys are impressively preceptive. Truth is, I couldn't find an online image of
Woman With Guitar, and I'm not sure I can even remember which of the paintings with that name that I actually saw. This is definitely more abstract than the one at San Simeon, but figured it was at least subtitled "Woman With Guitar."
There are a lot of paintings attributed to Picasso that he didn't actually paint. In order to support the local artists, and because he had a "flood the zone" marketing strategy for his work, he'd often sign paintings produced in his style by other artists as long as they were good.
I'll see if I can find an image of the painting I actually saw.

OK, I finally found an image of the correct painting, which was done in 1913. It makes the point even more starkly that Ma Jolie since the macro image is even flatter. A print conveys almost nothing of the power of the original. I suppose one could argue that I was just "seeing things" that weren't actually there, but I don't think so. I think the apocalyptic vision was quite intentional on his part. I mean, consider when it was painted.

Talk to me.
DonÂ’t miss this one from Rusty. ItÂ’s imperative that everyone knows exactly how our enemy treats itÂ’s prisoners.
See the great conditions they afford us
Yes Democrats all over have figured out things arenÂ’t exactly going very well lately. Yep William Jefferson Clinton has been all over the place all week. Everyone is talking Bill. I picked my favorite Bill quote for the week. Mr. Clinton had asked a friend of his why he had gone over and voted for Mr. Bush. The gentleman, a Democrat and preacher who had in the past Voted for Bill answered Mr. Clinton below is how Bill puts it.
“And he said, not listen to this, Now listen, He said Bill every since you left nobody in your party talks to us anymore. You can’t vote for somebody who doesn’t talk to you”.
Nuff said Bill. Don't forget to post your favorite Bill quotes below boys and girls.
Questions about our southern border. See I'm way far inland so emmigration to me means I get mexican food.
Schwarzenegger has said he supports the actions of his fellow governors but does not think there is a crisis along
CaliforniaÂ’s border...... Tisk, tisk, Arnie. ThatÂ’s not what you said in April.
Sadam gets reflective?
"Where is life without faith and love and the harmony which is inherited in our nation?Â… Â… My brother, love your people, love Palestine, long live Palestine, love your nation," he wrote.
Well then Sadam, how about calling for an end to the insurgency for the sake of the Nation of Iraq?
For sure this week the talk is about this new Democratic glow. Well as you can see from the above story it’s an “if you can’t beat em join em”. Beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Speaking of fresh meat the Media and the leftÂ’s mouths are watering at the prospect that the Iraqi Constitution will not make it this week. Around about 1949 another Country was being asked to go ahead and move out of the area of Palestine. That country said it was too early and it had only been five years since the end of WWII. Oh no they can work it out on their own get out everyone said. Anyone care to guess who it was and what happened next? Details?? Intresting comparison though.
Yep got the Yard mowed and cooked out on a fantastic and hot day in America. Thanks Guys. Ok now I got to eat this ice cream.

Images of Dead Terrorist Suspected in Paul Johnson Beheading
Rarely does it please me to post images of dead people. This is an exception. Two days ago the Saudis killed two wanted terrorists, including Saleh Muhammad al-Aoofi (Oufi), the leader of al Qaeda in Saudi Arabia. Saleh Muhammad al-Aoofi
was also suspected of involvement in the gruesome beheading murder of American Paul Johnson.
Paul Johnson's head was found in al-Aoofi's freezer:
Saudi security forces have killed al-Qaida's top leader in the country as well as five other suspected Islamic insurgents in gun battles.
Thursday's confrontation took place in the capital and Medina, where Prophet Muhammad is buried, in the first major anti-terrorist sweep since King Abdullah took the throne this month, the authorities said.
Saleh Muhammad al-Aoofi, the kingdom's most wanted man, had been leading al-Qaida's branch in Saudi Arabia for more than two years and was believed to have been involved in the June 2004 kidnapping and beheading of American engineer Paul Johnson.
Weeks after Johnson's slaying, Saudi police found his head in a freezer in an apartment where al-Aoofi had been hiding.
Al-Aoofi's death was the latest victory claimed by Saudi authorities in their crackdown on Islamic insurgents in the kingdom, launched after a wave of deadly attacks that began in May 2003.
Saudi police have killed or captured many of the figures on the kingdom's list of most wanted insurgents, and Abdullah vowed to push ahead with the crackdown when he was elevated to king in early August after the death of his half-brother Fahd.
Earlier today, these images began circulating on jihadi message boards. From what I gather, they are probably of the dead Saleh Muhammad al-Aoofi--the leader of al Qaeda in Saudi Arabia-- and Muhammad ibn Abdullah Owaida, but could possibly be Majed al-Hasseri and an accomplice. The men were killed in seperate gun battles this week, one in Medina and one in Riyadh. In any event, good riddance.
Three more al Qaeda terrorists were captured today in Saudi Arabia. It's been a good week in the Kingdom.
Oh, and if you think I'm being insensitive by showing these images, then surely you haven't seen the propaganda video made by al Qaeda in Saudi Arabia of the Paul Johnson beheading. Click here to see what this piece of human filth was involved in (WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGE).

Bomb Plot to Blow Up U.S. Embassy in Manila Thwarted, Suspect Free on Bail
A bomb plot by an al Qaeda linked group in the Phillipines was foiled earlier in March of this year but the details are just beginning to come out. Other targets included the British and Australian embassies. Note that the suspect is
free on bail.
Manila Standard:
Authorities earlier this year thwarted a plot by Islamic militants to mount a truck bomb attack on the US embassy in Manila, National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales told AFP yesterday. The plot by the Jemaah Islamiyah would have involved "an attack on the US embassy using a 1,000 kg truck bomb," Gonzales said in an interview.
He said the explosives were recovered after Daud Santos, a Muslim convert who is allegedly a member of the JI-linked Abu Sayyaf Group, was arrested in a police raid in Manila in March.
Also eyed as targets were the embassies of Australia and Britain, key antiterror allies of the United States, Gonzales said. He said Santos is now free on bail, highlighting Manila's failure to pass an antiterrorist law that would enable the government to hold terrorist suspects for longer periods.

us money for bail. Then set them loose. Once

him, grab his buddies, and start over. Of course
since he is dead, he can't show up for court, and
the ragheads forfeit the bail. Cool.

Hot Babes of Comic Con
Close on the heel of our our popular Star Wars Geeks We'd Love to Date post, Flea informs us of a short film featuring the hot babes of Comic Con 2005. Sure they're Canadian, and yes they can't be compared to the hotties at Springfield's twice monthly Bi-Mon-Sci-Fi-Con, and I'm betting that they're mostly paid models, but they are babes and they are at a geekfest--the two things we are uniquely qualified to speak on. Images from the video below.
WARNING: While the images are not offensive, they may cause extreme embarrassment and blushing as you slowly shake your head and think, "I can't believe that hot nerd actually wore that."

No, the Military Does Not Know How to Win the Propaganda War

I've been advocating for massive ammounts of pro U.S. propoganda. We need to be dropping leaflets and basic supplies all over the country to get total support from the average Iraqi.
We should be commandeering television/radio stations and just make use of basic information warfare tactics. I haven't seen much if any coverage of any sort of attempts to reduce enemy morale. We've got the resources to annihilate these people in the info warfare and propoganda war.
I don't think we are though, it's sad and worries me a litle bit.

Our government has had a mortal fear of propaganda since the 1950's, which, coincidentally, was about the same time that Soviet moles infiltrated the government and media in massive numbers. And everyone though Krushchev was kidding when he said he would conquer us without firing a shot...

Information Warfare and Security is a very interesting book. It focuses a lot on network and computer security but also touches on information warfare tactics used during the Gulf War. The book is extremely easy to read, anyone would understand it.
Moles are inevitable though, it's hard for me to believe that proven info warfare tactics wouldn't be employed today due to mole worries.
Even in the 50's it would seem silly to not take certain actions because there moles working in your agency. I shouldn't really speak of what I don't really know though. I think my mother was still in college in the 50's.

Another thing I've wondered about too is why we have so many websites and publications compiling statistics on our fallen soldiers or Iraqi civilians and no one has done the same with how many terrorists have been taken out or blown themselves up. Someone should have graphs, dates and names if possible. They should have monthly followups on "key" operatives eliminated from the gene pool. (Rusty is good on getting us the info on "key" operatives) Otherwise, the only info we get on any of it is sporadic and slipshod. Hell, when a suicide bombing with one or more terrorists involved occurs and they give us a count of the dead, they include the terrorists and you're left wondering how many were innocents. For instance, one accounting last year by major news outlets said their was a massive death count somewhere of 49 dead at once. Later, we find that 27 of them were terrorists!
I think sometimes our government wants to lose. They suck at keeping us informed with actual data to counter all the hype and propaganda the disgusting and traitorous media puts out.

Tyler, it's not that the actions are not taken out of concern for moles, but that moles warn against taking that action and work to discredit it.
Ask yourself why the press considers it unethical to embed with US forces, but gleefully pays "stringers" who are actually jihadis for posed photos and staged attacks.

Al Qaeda Using Internet to Terrorize (Link to video)
If we are to win the war on terror, our first task must be to end jihadi propaganda. As long as our enemies are allowed free reign in the media, we cannot win. We have been following this story for years and it is not a new al Qaeda strategy. What is new is 1) al Qaeda is using the strategy in a more coherent way and 2) some in the media are catching on to the tactic.
News 24 via Robert Spencer and Charles Johnson:
An al-Qaeda linked-group has launched what it calls a media jihad, or holy war, to "terrorise" United States-led forces in Iraq and their families by bombarding them with e-mails and by posting gruesome photos online.
The group, calling itself the "Brigade of Media Jihad", called on its militants to "post terrifying pictures on the internet in order to terrorise the enemy", said a statement on an Islamist website whose authenticity could not be verified.
"Our objective is to undermine the morale of our enemies, dash their hopes and dreams and reveal the truth of what is happening in Iraq. The media war is an integral part of the war on the ground," said the statement.....
The online statements are often accompanied by video to provide proof of bombings, kidnappings and killings.
The brigade claims to be part of the "World Islamic Media Front", which has uploaded on to Internet sites footage of military operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and other places where Islamist militants operate.
Last week, it posted a film, Top Ten, in which it showed a selection of attacks on US troops carried out by the Islamic Army in Iraq and the al-Qaeda organisation in the Land of Two Rivers, the group of al-Qaeda frontman Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
I have seen the Top Ten film reported in the article.
You can download the video here (see August 17th).
SITE:
The Jihad Information Brigade issued their second statement today, August 19, 2005, claiming that they disseminated their propaganda about the “reality of the defeat facing Allah’s enemies in Iraq,” to approximately 1,600 websites and e-mails, including more than 60,000 people in the military, including their families, and “some of the public figures.” Further, the group alleges that the people in receipt of their messages were “frightened” by the news of the “reality which their sons are living in.”
The Brigade states that their goal is to unveil the reality of the situation in Iraq, which is allegedly covered up by the “conspiracies prepared by the infidel countries.” On March 7, 2005, the Jihad Information Brigade issued their first statement, boasting of sending similar messages to soldiers and their families in a variety of languages, with the goal of demoralizing the soldiers and “break the grasp of the Jews over the media.”

You see, jihadis are cowards by nature, and this sort of thing would intimidate them, and may work on liberals, who are also cowards by nature, but any real American is only going to be motivated, and slightly amused, by such crap. They should know that once enough people in this country decide that they've had enough of their BS, there won't be a safe place for a muslim anywhere inside the US.

Beuracratic Culture Caused 9/11
Organizations and institutions have cultures. Cultures set boundaries for acceptable behavior. Who do you blame when an institution's culture directly led to 9/11? The Clinton Administration and Jamie Gorelick are too easy targets. Cultures are not created overnight. They take years to develop into routines that are followed without a second thought. To claim that a single memo and a new Adminstration could change a culture is to overlook mountains of research on bureaucratic behavior.
Clinton and Gorelick should both be blamed for reinforcing and bolstering an institutional culture that limited the sharing of intelligence with law enforcement, but that culture has deeper roots. Its foundations are in the institutional design laid by Congress dividing intelligence gathering from enforcement and in the Carter Administratian's over correcting of perceived Nixon era abuses.
Even so, the Clinton Administration and Jamie Gorelick did nothing to correct this culture. In fact, all indications are that they made things worse. But making a dysfunctional culture worse is a far cry from claiming that they are responsible for creating the culture.
This story, told by an veteran Intel. operative over at Captain's Quarters, is precisely the kind of thing one would expect to hear from a bureucrat working in any number of government agencies. For some reason, though, we expect this kind of behavior at the DMV, but not the FBI, CIA, or DIA. We all hope our Intel agencies are run by characters resembling 'M' from the James Bond movies. Unfortunately, it seems, our Intel agencies have been run by those who have more in common with Patty and Selma Bouviere, the twin sisters of Marge Simpson who man the window at the Springfield DMV, than MacGyver. Captain's Quarters:
"Yeah," the head DIA guy said, a bit sheepishly, "they are DIA, but theyÂ’re a different part of DIA and we canÂ’t talk to them." [That's the only quote from the meeting where I recall actual words spoken.]
We blinked a few times, and then all consideration of terrorism was dropped from the task. But not before it was pointed out that we and DIA werenÂ’t really counter-terrorism experts [although we were threat assessment experts], that the problem was probably being worked by so-&-so and such-&-such, and that they probably had better data, more experience, more resources than we did.
That is what Clinton and Gorelik's Wall culture did. It just didn't just prevent more effective cooperation and data sharing; it prevented the whole question of terrorism being addressed in a coherent fashion at all. No one was working the problem effectively, but I bet they all thought -- just like we were told – that someone else was. That’s the "I thought you brought the matches" school of intelligence analysis, and that was the end effect of Clinton's intelligence policy: it turned the whole process of intelligence into one big game of "Who brought the matches?"
And on 9/11 we found out who: Al Qaeda brought the matches.
Read the whole story.

I agree and disagre. First agreement. Carter castrated both the CIA and FBI 27 years ago. They have been staffed by geldings ever since; with a very feble attempt to put men in between 1981 and 1988. So in that sense the culture of ineptness has been in control for almost 3 dedades. (I have seen nothing that indicates we are really geting the deadwood out of either of these agencies. Lots of talk but action is hard to find.)
Disagreement. As Ashcroft pointed out almost 18 months ago "The Wall" absolutely made the passing of Able Danger's info along. Had they done it back in 00 they would have been Court Marshalled and sent to jail about the time of 911. Anyone who has been an officer in the Armed Forces can tell you they had no choice. Officers follow orders. Even dumb one from highly placed ill informed civilians.

Actually, the blame should be spread out even farther than what you suggest. The American public stood idly by, too, while they demanded that the government protect us while tying their hands behind their backs. They lost all sense of what's important. To them it was important to amend the Constitution to give us abortion rights, but not to allow the government to pry into the affairs of those who would do us harm. You know, civil liberty and all that? Civil liberties they felt should be extended to everyone and anyone entering the country regardless of their agendas or from whence they came. Unless, of course, they were Jewish.
Througout the Clinton era, more than once I remarked to friends that with our military being gutted the way it was we were a prime target for attack or invasion. I didn't want to be right.

What nobody seems to mention is the original motive for the Clinton/Gorelik wall. There has been speculation that the the real reason for the wall was to stop or hinder any FBI/CIA cooperation in the investigation of the Clinton Chinese campaign contibtution scandal and a possible connection to inappropriate technology tranfers. The closer you look the worse they look.

Taliban Reemerging In Afghanistan: Lessons for Iraq
Regular readers of the Jawa Report will know the Taliban never really went away, they only went into hiding. Now, the MSM is beginning to pick up on the reality of the situation on the ground. Two of the main anti-Iraq war points are clarified by the facts on the ground in Afghanistan.
A) If only we had gone in with a larger coalition things would be better. Far more countries are in Afghanistan than Iraq, which is now a NATO-led security operation.
B) If the U.N. had been put in charge of rebuilding, things would be better. The U.N. is in charge of reconstruction in Afghanistan.
C) The Bush Administration doesn't have an Iraq exit strategy. Well, what is our Afghanistan exit strategy? We may be in that country just as long or longer than Iraq. Is lack of an 'exit strategy' a valid reason to oppose a war?
D) The Bush Administration did not sufficiently plan for post-war nation-building? And the U.N. has done a much better job in Afghanistan?
From what I gather, there are only two main differences between Iraq and Afghanistan which explain the much lower level of violence in the latter country. First, the resistance in Afghanistan today is basically the same resistance that we fought nearly four years ago. Remnants of the Taliban and their foreign jihadi armies have consistently fought us from our initial invasion to the present. The vast majority of these fighters understand that they were defeated and there is no hope of victory. Armies with no hope of victory soon lay down their weapons. I would be willing to bet that the vast majority of Taliban partisans in Afghanistan today are foreign jihadis or newer recruits that had little involvement in the fighting of four years ago.
In Iraq, we are fighting a different army and a different war. In our initial invasion we fought the Iraqi Army and Baathist partisans. Today we are fighting domestic and foreign jihadis. Those we fought in the invasion were trying to keep the Hussein regime in place. Today we fight a new enemy which has a goal of creating a Taliban like state in Iraq.
The Baathists and Iraqi regulars which we fought in our initial invasion know that we won and that they have no hope of ever coming back to power. They saw the awesome power of U.S. military might and are in no hurry to face that might again.
Those that we fight today, though, are religious extremists with a very different outlook. Combine this worldview--which like their Taliban brothers sees an inevetable victory for Islam--with their consumption of alternative media images which portrays the U.S. as losing in Iraq, and you have a highly motivated army. They fight because they think they are winning.
The second difference is the sheer number of boots on the ground and the urban setting of Iraq. We just have far more targets in Iraq than we have in Afghanistan and the jihadis in Iraq have a far easier time of hiding in urban centers. While many analysts claim that we need more troops on the ground in Iraq, it may very well be that we have too many (this is a disputable point and one which I am willing to change if more information comes to light). More troops would only help us win in Iraq if those troops could demoralize our enemy while simultaneously wipe out media images that portray U.S. soldiers in a negative light and which claim that we are losing. Until our enemies believe that cannot win, they will continue to fight.

I've often thought we shouldn't be overly anxious for the Arab media to stop broadcasting their delusional accounts of victories over the US forces. As long as they are fighting us, it is easy to recognize who the enemy is. Sure, IED's etc. make life dangerous for our troops, but as long as these guys keep poping their heads up and our soldiers continue to turn them into pink mist, were atriting them down. Once enough of them are killed, the fighting will end.

Shouldn't We Exchange Insurance Information?
First off, thanks to whoever updated my earlier post. Stupid job, don't they know I need to blog?
Thanks to Tim at Opinionbug.com for sending me a link to the Jordan News Agency (Petra) where I found these gems:
His Majesty King Abdullah II on Friday
condemned the accident of firing Katyusha rockets in Aqaba which
resulted in martyring a Jordanian soldier and wounding another.
The King checked, during phone calls with the Regent, Prime
Minister and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, on the situation
in the city of Aqaba after the explosion of two rockets that
targeted Princess Haya Military Hospital and a warehouse of the
Jordan armed forces.
(headline)Abbas Condemns Aqaba Terrorist Accident
No mention of the Navy ships, or the fact that one landed in Israel.
But, it doesn't matter, it was an accident. Move along, nothing to see here.
Maybe I'll be a little nicer to our media from now on. Heh.

The rockets were accidentally fired from the top of a warehouse.
The Jordanians are now looking for some Egyptians and Iraqis who fled in a Kuwaiti-registered vehicle.

Sheehan Motivating the Media
Absolutely positively my last post on Cindy Sheehan.
A good chunk of the media and basically all of the "usual suspects" are calling the game from the same playbook. Cindy Sheehan is a grieving mother who's selfless dedication arises from a deeply held belief that the war in Iraq is wrong, the administration is totally inept and our boys are dying in an ill concieved endeavor.
They are sparing no effort in the attempt to characterize Ms. Sheehan as the personification of the American Mother who has lost a child to war, America's mom so to speak. They further attempt to promote the perception that Ms. Sheehan represents a sunstantial number if not a decided majority of the Soldier Moms in this country; "If only they had a voice they'd be saying the same thing as Cindy" and other such pajorative speculation. They are even referring to her now as "Mother" Sheehan in an effort to perpetuate this belief. The marketing campaign has been professional albeit not all that convincing, somehere between the launching of a new $125.00 an ounce Chanel fragrance and an infomercial for steak knives.
Any criticism of this fine women is labelled as a vicious right wing attack on the very institution of motherhood itself. ( Bill Johnson Rocky Mountain News "The influential and powerful in this country feel free to attack and belittle a woman who lost a son in the war and now refuses to remain silent in her grief, pretty much tells you everything you need to know of 2005 America".) They rationalize the cheerleading because it is after all for mother, country and apple pie.
It's pie alright, steaming cowpie and it's nothing about substance and everything about smoke and mirrors. Ms. Sheehans persona is a spectre created in the fertile minds of the far left pacifist peaceniks, MoveOn .Org and the media. In Cindy Sheehan they have created a caricature of their collective selves.
Ms. Sheehan is anything but a "typical" mother. She has been active in far left fringe organizations since well before the invasion of Iraq was a glint in George Bush's eye. She now aligns herself with such "mainstream" organizations as TrueMajority and Democracy for America, MoveOn.Org, Code Pink Women for Peace, United for Peace and Justice, Veterans for Peace, Michael Moore, etc etc.
Some of her more notable statements:
1. This country is not worth dying for.
2. Yes, he (Casey Sheehan) was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel.
3. When asked if she would feel any different if Casey had died in Afghanistan, she replied: I don't think so, Chris, because I believe that Afghanistan is almost the same thing...... we should have gone after al-Qaida and maybe not after the country of Afghanistan.
4. After their meeting she commented "I now know he's [Bush] sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis," Cindy said after their meeting. "I know he's sorry and feels some pain for our loss. And I know he's a man of faith.". Subsequently, she has said that Bush treated her callously during the meeting and acted as if it was a party atmospere.
5. "The biggest terrorist is George W. Bush."
6. "I want to meet with the President to ask him why he killed my son"
7. Sheehan says she considers Lynne Stewart her Atticus Finch
8. "It’s OK for Israel to have nuclear weapons but we are waging nuclear war in Iraq, we have contaminated the entire country. It’s not OK for Syria to be in Lebanon. Hypocrites! But Israel can occupy Palestine? Stop the slaughter!“
There's plenty more, but I believe the point is made. Other than maybe 5% or so of the population that could use serious psychiatric help, nobody honestly believes that Ms. Sheehan is anything close to representative of a typical American mother, grieving or not. I do believe that certain people on the right went a bit far pontificating on her divorce and tax payment defaults. That smacks of smear and it's not needed. Ms. Sheehan has poked enough holes in her own boat.
Contrary to the prevailing media talking points, the fact that she has had a terrible loss and is grieving by no means immunizes her from scrutiny or constructive criticism nor should it. Ms. Sheehan chose to exploit her present situation to highlight her ideology and further her agenda.
If she insists on sparring in the public arena of politically weighty issues, she better expect to get nailed with a few jabs. God forbid we should use her own words against her.
The media somehow feels that Ms. Sheehan's opinion should carry more weight than the average American. Somehow, because of her loss she is eminantly qualified to make social commentary on the legitimacy of the Iraq war. Nothing could be further from the truth. It's because of her loss that her judgment and rational are skewed by strong emotion making her opinions particularly suspect and unreliable.
Ms. Sheehan has proven through her statements and actions that she is an enigma, the miniscule exception rather than the rule. What her motivations are I don't know nor do I particularly care. She couldn't be any more wrong regardless of how noble or despicable her motivations may be.
The motivations of the Entrenched Media, however are known and predictable. They needed a poster child for the antiwar movement and found one in Cindy Sheehan. A useful idiot with the added bonus of being a true believer. You can alomost hear them muttering, "Holy Crap, these stories just seem to write themselves". Expect them to hold onto her like grim death.

seany boy, your opinion is vastly superior to the rest of us and I'm sure Rusty will take your advice to heart and immediately change everything to suit your delicate sensibilities. Can you suggest some different, more pleasing colors or a better format? Better yet, perhaps you can get Chomsky or Churchill to do a guest post for us. That would be exciting.

You are so self contradictory! You see it troubling that any criticism of Sheehan is "is labelled as a vicious right wing attack," but then you go on to claim that "Ms. Sheehans persona is a spectre created in the fertile minds of the far left pacifist peaceniks, MoveOn .Org and the media."
Let's replace one ridiculous conspiracy theory with another ridiculous conspiracy theory.
Surely you can think in a more nuanced fashion than the repetitive whining about "liberal media" and "the left."

You can't deny that the media has given over 21,000 reports on Sheehan while giving little or no coverage to mothers who have lost children who have a totally different view, or that moveon.org, Code Pink and various other extreme left wing organizations have taken up her cause, given her a strong, internet-based platform and even placed a PR firm at her disposal. I mean, really. C'mon, Jdog. That's not conspiracy. It's right in everyone's face.
If the far left can say "I support the Troops" without supporting their cause (which makes no sense to me, personally) then surely the right can say "We understand her grief" but do not support her agenda.

I don't know where your figures are coming from, but in print papers there seem to have been 410 articles (Lexis Nexis). If you count web print, 8740 (Google News). Magazines 38 (Lexis Nexis). News transcripts 197 (Lexis Nexis). Wire services 348 (Lexis Nexis).
That seems very shy of 21,000. And trust me letters/opinions/editorials printed in the daily papers show a greater amount of negative opinions, from questioning her motives, to calling it "dishonor" to her son. So much for "liberal" media bias. Only some papers have included responses to these conservative or pro-war criticisms of Sheehan.
What is particularly noteworthy is the fact that many of these pieces were penned by the very women you say are not getting coverage: mothers and wives of fallen soldiers, who do not support (nor understand) Sheehan.
Supporting the troops, not the war seems more a liberal perspective, than the "far left." The far left can no longer see great differences between democrats and republicans anyway. Yet, isn't that the point in this blog? To collapse democrats and Marxists into one neat category = "left."
It is a shame that once a leftist protest actually gets covered, moveon comes in and appropriates it.

MoveOn is a subset of the Left but guess what? It's man is in the chair of the DNC. Its talking points get picked up quickly by the MSM.
IIRC it was a MoveOn type that claimed ownership to the Democratic Party. Get used to it or fight it.
Your original note Jdog is interesting. Surely you understand the statement made by Harry Truman? If you can't stand the heat to get out of the kitchen? Cindy didn't walk into the kitchen she stormed into it. Maybe she did not start out with MoveOn and CodePink et al (Cindy and the two groups mentioned prior are also adamantly opposed to what went down in Afghanistan despite direct connections to 9/11 and broad international support) but she is not kicking them out and their
language is very close match.
When the MSM points out Cindy's comments about the Joooooossss and how she hates America (hey, then why not leave? Surely she will be welcomed into Palestine) as well as her demands to meet the President then we can talk about balance.
Hey, did you know David Duke is in her corner? She is a priestess marrying the ideals of David Duke and Michael Moore. That is grotesque.

Jdog: I'm not going to argue with you on how many reports there were. She has been mentioned on TV news a lot more than 197 times in the past (over) two weeks. The last I'd heard was over 21,000 times. I don't care how many "transcripts" there have been written. If I can watch one news channel for a little over an hour and see three separate mentions of her by different people I can only wonder how many there are on all the news channels 24/7.
"So much for liberal media bias"? You ARE kidding right? For every conservative-biased point brought up in the media, not including the internet, there are considerably more liberal-biased reports. Any time one conservative message goes out I hear the same thing - "So much for liberal media bias!" Without a doubt, the liberal media overwhelms the conservative every day.

German Court Sentences 9/11 Terrorist to 1.17 Days per Victim
(Hamburg, Germany) The Hamburg State Superior Court found Moroccan citizen Mounir al-Motassadeq, 31,
guilty of membership in the 9-11 terrorist organization and sentenced him to seven years in prison, less than half the 15 years imposed on him in 2003 verdict that was overturned.
From Expatica.com:
Presiding Judge Ernst-Rainer Schudt ruled that Motassadeq had been the "polite, friendly, reserved" member of an eight-man terror cell. Led by an Egyptian, Mohammed Atta, it formed in the German port city of Hamburg in autumn 1999.
"From being friendly, nice young men, they turned into fanatics," said Schudt. Motassadeq had "gone along" with this, not dissociating himself, and had taken over administrative tasks for the group.
Three of the cell members including Atta later piloted hijacked planes that were used as missiles on September 11, 2001 in attacks on New York, Washington DC and Pennsylvania. U.S. President George W. Bush declared a "war on terrorism" in response.
"The complete picture shows the accused to have been a member of a terrorist organization, but not to have been an accessory to the murderers of September 11," said Schudt.
What a bunch of crap! So what if he was polite, friendly, and reserved? He was a co-conspirator in 3,000 deaths on September 11, 2001. In fact, if he took over "administrative tasks," he effectively managed the operation. This make me sick. Motassadeq deserves nothing more than the pitch darkness, extreme coldness, and concrete hardness of a prison cell for the rest of his life.

UPDATE: As Lawhawk notes in the comments of a related post, that's 1.17 days per victim for Mounir al-Motassadek

Bali Bombing Mastermind's Sentence Reduced from 4.5 Days in Jail Per Victim to 3.8 Days in Jail Per Victim
Our
allies in the Global War on Terror
have reduced the jail sentence of Abu Bakar Bashir (Ba'asyir), the mastermind of the Bali nightclub bombing, by 4.5 months. Bashir, it will be recalled,
had been sentenced to 30 months in an Indonesian prison for his role as leader of the terrorist group that killed 202 civilians in the Bali nightclub bombing. 88 of the 202 victims were Australians.
Bashir will now spend 25.5 months in prison.
That's about 765 days.
That's 3.8 days per victim.
Indonesia routinely sentences drug dealers to death by firing squad.
Another admitted terrorist involved in the mass murder at Bali was once spotted at the local Starbucks. They hate terrorism so much that Indonesian narcotics and drugs Brigadier-General Gorries Mere decided it would be a good idea to spring the terrorist from his jail cell and stroll down to the neighborhood cofee shop. Don't worry, though, after the terrorist in question had his fill of Double Latte Mochachino, he was promptly returned to prison.

Ah, but that's slightly better than the 1.17 days per victim for Mounir al-Motassadek, who was convicted in Germany for being involved in the Hamburg cell of AQ. This was the outcome in his retrial. He was originally found guilty of being an accessory to the murder of 3,000 Americans in the 9/11 attacks.

Newt in Iowa and Liberalism 3.x
I just heard Newt on CSPAN giving a speech that sounded to me like a dry run of his Presidential campaign. He was asked, on a scale of 0 to 10, what the odds are that he'll run for President. He responded that it was somewhere between 1 and 10, which got a laugh. But... it's not zero! To my practiced political ear he seems closer to 10 than 1. For all practical purposes he's running for President now, and the only issue is whether he'll withdraw at some point before November, 2008.
He expressed his thoughts on a number of critical topics, from health care to the "Long War Against Irreconcilable Islam." To me, this sounds like the much awaited Liberalism 3.x. In this view Iraq is just a "campaign," although a clearly important one to us and to the Jihad. I'd also say that if Iowans are getting the idea that we're losing in Iraq that's understandable if their source of information is Mainstream Media. But the odds that Mainstream Media has it right this time are demonstrably zero. (See Michael Yon's thoughts on the inept way media covers the war.) That doesn't mean we're winning "The Long War," though. In fact, I don't think we are. We're essentially attempting to fight Totalitarianism 3.x with the institutions and attitudes typical of Liberalism 2.x. But our military is rapidly making the transition to Liberalism 3.x, and if Newt gets his say the rest of the country may soon follow. I'd vote for him. I thought his presentation was excellent, and I think he has an answer for those discouraged about Iraq, immigration, the economy, etc..
A Newt candidacy also counters what Democrats feel are their main strengths. He's a conservative intellectual, which flies directly in the fact of the standard characterization of Republican candidates. Also, if his recent appearances have helped Hillary harden her foreign policy and defense credentials they've probably helped Newt soften his image even more. He now occupies a policy area that's not really fixed in the liberal-conservative domain. He has new formulae that resolve the primary socio-economic problems that Democrats feel are their proprietary market share. He has the Clintons' wonkishness, but unlike Clinton (either one) he also has a coherent vision and is serious about realizing it.

Criticizing Bill Clinton; This is where hypocrisy comes in by the bucket-loads. They get pissy when Clinton gets criticized, but gleefully still jump on the Reagan bashing wagon even though he was further in the past. The fact is, I don't care who is the current president. Past presidents' policies are still a strong factor in today's political, economical and social climate and should always be considered when discussing (or arguing) these issues. That's just common sense. This hands-off attitude about Clinton is only because they can't really defend him on so many issues and don't want to be called to task.
I'm hoping for Newt's success because I don't trust McCain and Hillary is out of the question.

Kill Them All, Let Allah Sort Them Out
Muslim scholar gives big thumbs up to murdering children. Here's what he said on a TV station run by the terrorist organization Hizbollah in Lebanon. Yes, terrorists actually have their own TV stations in Lebanon.
MEMRI:
"Islam is the religion of life in general, and not a blind religion. Islam does not surrender to foreign aggression. So stating categorically that Islam is a religion of love that rejects violence – This is a big lie. 'Take them and kill them wherever you find them.' This is taken from the words of Allah [the Koran]. About whom? About Allah's enemies. This is violence....
He goes on to say why terrorism is justified:
because it works.
Who said that violence is futile? What happened in Spain?....He brought his people to war. He had to be hit over the head with a large hammer in order to wake up [the Spanish PM]....
Read the rest where he reminds Muslims that all Israeli civilians are legitimate targets and that it is the religioius duty of all Muslims to make war against the U.S.
If we lose in Iraq, we put the world in mortal danger or collapsing into a kind of chaos that has not been seen for a thousand years. Isolationists on the Right and internationalist utopians on the Left should heed this warning now before it is too late. Terrorism against the U.S. would certainly be reduced in the short run. However, the dark ages that will certainly emerge in Iraq if we withdraw has no chance of being isolated. It will spread, and with it ignorance, violence, and repression, until 1/3 of the world is consumed by it. In one or two hundred years, when this cancer has fully taken control of its host, it will look outward again, and our great-great-grandchildren will curse us for not eradicating it while we had the chance.
This is our choice: pay with our lives the price of keeping Iraq out of the hands of Islamic fascists now, or pay with a war on a Civilazational scale later--World War III which has the potential of making the last two World Wars seem trivial.
Hat tip: Beth at My VRWC who has more.

That descent into chaos is exactly what the "liberals" want. The ones who were part of the Communist movement in the US, anyway.
Remember "The worse things are, the better they are"? They believe that society has to collapse into violent chaos. When things get bad enough, "The Rapture" will occur, and the "workers" will turn on the "oppressors" and massacre them. And, of course, after that, everyone (still alive) will live in a secular utopia, etc. Singing Kumbaya to the sound of secularly made harps.
Sooo, proving what you warn of and proving what we see over in

I hope it will have an effect on the uncommitted and those who have not yet become useful idiots.

Dangit, missed another chance to face The monogrammatic male chicken in real-time Verbal Combat... Oh well, whatever.
Alias of Dale Grib(b?)le: Our Muslims won't go crazy since it's too cold to riot all year and the racial equality laws work both ways around here, and they are based on "treat 'em like they treat you", so if they start getting jihady, getting all crusadey on them stops being a hate crime, so lynching, ethnic cleansing etc... until UN or Amnesty starts bitching about it and then we'll just ship them to Sweden.
Male chicken of unusual color for a chicken: The philosophy of participating in wars that are none of Finlands business:

i think that those terrorists are hiding threir bad deeds behind Islam , true islam is not like what they are saying (believe me), i know this because i'm a muslim who knows that Islam advocates tolerance ,sympathy.......,but not killing innocent people, or children.
people...we can't just blieve the guys who don't have the authority ,knowledge a bout the religion which says their is only one God.
