The Iraqi Interior Ministry is reporting that hundreds of terrorists have been rounded up in the Tal Afar region near the Syrian border. Of the 200 terrorists captured, 150 of them were foreign fighters from Syria, Sudan, Yemen and Jordan.

Centcom is also reporting that between Sept. 4th and 5th combined Iraqi and Coalition teams captured over 50 terrorist suspects in the Baghdad area. One of the captured terrorists was found with a note indicating he was about to become a suicide bomber.

In addition, US forces bombed a known al Qaeda safehouse in near the Syrian border. The target was a known bomb-making cell leader, Abu Mohammad, who has been linked extensively to other al Qaida terrorists and foreign fighters in Husaybah and throughout the Western Euphrates Valley. Additionally, he is known to have worked directly for Abu Islam, the al Qaida 'Emir' of Husaybah, who was killed by a Coalition air strike last week.

Husaybah is located near the city of al Qaim, said to now be controlled by forces loyal to Abu Musab al Zarqawi's al Qaeda in Iraq. Sources within the U.S. military have not denied these reports to The Jawa Report. Tribes loyal to Zarqawi and those aligned with the Iraqi government have been engaged in severe fighting in the past several weeks. I expect (or hope) that many more bombs will fall on these locations in the next few days.

Way to go Team America, f*ck yeah!!

We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.--President George W. Bush

I've just spent the last ten minutes of my life watching disgusting videos produced by the Islamic Media Center. One was a high-production video based on candid camera with laugh tracks accompanying the death of American soldiers. Here is the e-mail associated with these disgusting propaganda films.

zubeiddah1417@hotmail.com

Was Joseph Goebels, chief propagandist for Nazi Germany, who never picked up a weapon and killed any one, a legitimate target in war? If so, why are those that produce jihad videos used to bolster the morale of our enemies and recruit new fighters to kill our soldiers not legitimate targets?

Bonus terrorist e-mail:

b52b52@gawab.com Not working *sigh*

If you get a response, please FORWARD the e-mail to me (not just cut and paste)

This news is so stunning that I actually didn't believe it when I first read it. But I went and checked it out for myself and it's true. Planned Parenthood is using Hurricane Katrina as a fundraising event for itself. That's right, they've stooped that low. On the front page of their website (plannedparenthood.com or plannedparenthood.org, I'm not going to link to them), they have a link stating "Help Those Affected by the Hurricane." Well, that would be great if that's what they planned on doing. But when you get to the page where you can make a donation, you find the following information:

100% of your tax-deductible contribution will go directly to helping Planned Parenthood affiliates and health centers in this region

That's right, folks. In the guise of helping the hurricane victims, they are raising funds to be used strictly for themselves. Never mind that people need food, shelter, clothing, etc. These idiots are only concerned that they have to rebuild their abortion mills. I didn't think I could be any more disgusted than I already am with them, but they have managed it.

The two attached screen shots show the web pages in question, just in case PP tries to take them down and deny what they were doing.

Thanks to LifeNews.com for breaking this story.

This CNN article implies that the Navy still believes Speicher is alive after 14 years. That would be a miracle indeed. But isn't it more logical to conclude, after all this time, that if any former Hussein regime officials 'know of his location' that they are now talking about the location of his body? I pray that he is still alive, but it would be shocking to find out that he still was. more...

X-Ray glasses are finally here. It's like a lifelong dream come true. Via Ghost of the Flea we learn that Advanced Intelligence has released a new CCD camera capable of seeing through clothes. And even though they mention that the camera can see through clothes in the very first sentence on their web page, the page later adds that you shouldn't use the camera to view anything 'indecent' like, er, looking through 'tight clothes, swimsuites, or sun dresses'.

The. Thought. Never. Croseed. My. Mind.

Now excuse me while I slip on these glasses.... more...

It's my understanding that many consumer camcorders and digital cameras can do this. As I understand it, the deal is that the CCDs used in those cameras can see into the near infrared, so under the right conditions you can see through light clothing such as the sundresses and whatnot that the web page mentions.

Why do I blog anonymously? A variety of reasons. The number one reason, though, is that my views are not particularly popular in academia. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villany than in academia. Evidence?

On September 12th, 2001, I raised my voice in a class I was a teaching assistant in, and voiced the opinion that Muslims who followed Osama bin Laden's teachings were a grave threat to the United States and Western culture. The professor, literally, looked at me and, literally, began to yell at the top of his lungs that my statements were out of order and that they could have been uttered by a Nazi. Opposition to radical Islam is equated to Nazism......

Richard L. Rubenstein's run-in with those who would make us all dhimmis at an academic conference is further evidence. more...

Mary Katherine Ham has looked deep into the heart of America's soul and finds that we are lacking. Wait a sec....did I say America's soul? I meant the souls of the Left. Contrary to popular Leftist discourse, America's profound sense of togetherness is never as great as when tragedy hits.

Are there racists in America? Yes. Is America racist? No.

Randy at WTVW asks that all his viewers talk this up today. So here goes. WTWV the Evansville/Vanderburgh County police and the Evansville Otters baseball team are holding a telethon this week to raise money for the American Red Cross for Hurricane relief. Last night a total of 20,020 dollars was raised. Calls will be taken on Thursday and Friday from 6 to 10 pm CDT. Donations can be by credit or debit card or if you prefer give your address and they will send you an envelope and you can pay by check. It's not so much how much you give but scrape up that change out of the couch and send it along.

Cingular Wireless has donated cell phones for our volunteers to take pledges. The following numbers will be used to donate during the three days of the phone-a-thon: (812) 618-6956, 618-6957, 618-6958, and 618-6959.

Then don't forget to log donations and mention The Jawa Report. No matter where you are, let's make our presence known. Also if you prefer note the blogadd for mercycorps on our home page.

Also one more thought. Some of the most effective relief efforts I've seen coverage of are done by churches. So toss an extra buck or two their way as well.

Also the company I work for in my real job has added another 20 grand to the effort bringing thier total to 45,000. Way to go.

If ever there was a bad idea worse than this, I haven't heard of it. Hey, let's get the ACLU down to Cuba so they can advise the detainees that they have the right to remain silent! Remember, it was a detainee in Iraq, presumably who hadn't been read the Miranda warning, who gave up the location of Roy Hallums.

WND:

According to these sources, the ACLU lawyers advised the majority of the prisoners that they did not have to answer questions from military interrogators.

“It’s as if they were shoplifters in the U.S.,” said one source. “The lawyers may have left by now, but the damage is done. We’re sending guys down to interrogate on taxpayer’s dime for absolutely no reason now.”

Apparently, the Pentagon believes the presence of ACLU lawyers at Guantanamo will help persuade the world it can give suspected terrorists a fair trial. The ACLU has been at the forefront of allegations of abuse of prisoners.

Hat tip to Jay Stop the ACLU who has more commentary.

It appears that Nagin's hysterical rant should have been directed at his own governor.

The Red Cross is confirming to Major Garrett of Fox News that it had prepositioned water, food, blankets and hygiene products for delivery to the Superdome and the Convention Center in the immediate aftermath of the hurricane, but were blocked from delivering those supplies by orders of the Louisiana state government (State Dept of Homeland Security), which did not want to attract people to the Superdome and Convention Center.

Garrett has no paper trail yet, but will follow up on his verbal confirmation from sources at the highest levels of the Red Cross.

Hugh Hewitt interviewed Garrett after he broke the story. Transcript at Radio Blogger.
The Red Cross backs up Garrett's story on their website here

Update:Confirmation on-camera from a senior Salvation Army official in Washington, D.C. that the Salvation Army was also blocked repeatedly from providing relief and supplies to the beleaugered people suffering in the Superdome and Convention Center.

Little Green Footballs is pointing out a jewel of an article over at Daily Kos. The title:

17th street levee bombed by the Army Corps of Engineers

Basically the article takes two "witness" discussions and strings them together. Somehow, this is fit to print and is obviously the result of the massive influx of black helicopters to the region. One quote just totally shot down the story for me:

people are afraid to speak out... everyone who was near there heard the bombings... they bombed seven times.

Seven times? That's the Army Corp of Engineers! At most it would have taken two blasts to send that levee to Mexico with a quickness.

Daily Kos = Unrealistic Ninny

A source is telling me that there will be some major news out of Afghanistan in the next few weeks. I wonder what I possibly could be implying?

These rumors have been wrong in the past. Call it wishful thinking. The source, though, is taking this all rather seriously. Not his usual MO.

(Bridgeport, Connecticut) Remember Tammy Imre? Last November, the 30-year-old mother was arrested for a laundry list of charges related to having an ongoing sexual relationship with an 8-year-old neighborhood boy who was her 7-year-old daughter's playmate.

According to her attorney Donald Papcsy, in court today Imre agreed to plead guilty to reduced charges at a scheduled court appearance on Sept. 19. Apparently, she will receive something less than the ten-year minimum for first-degree sexual assault. The agreement allows her to claim an Alford plea where she doesn't plead guilty to all allegations but concedes that there is enough evidence to convict her. Prosecutor George Ganim Jr. wouldn't release any details, but said the victim's mother was satisfied with the terms of the agreement.

Consequently, we'll have to wait until September 19 to learn how long she will be sentenced in the slammer. Interestingly, she's already spent nine months behind bars since she couldn't cough up the $250,000 bail.

"How come it's so easy to send planes in another country to kill everyone in a second, to destroy lives?"
Celine Dion voicing her anger at the New Orleans rescue delays.

1. It's not. The most ready battalion in the entire United States military takes a bare minimum of 18 hours to deploy. And that's only after they've spent two weeks preparing all of their equipment and everyone is standing by waiting.

2. Because destroying is always easier than the alternative. When you destroy, you can be indiscriminate.

Go back to Canada and sing some more of your horrid music, please.

Oh, but thanks for the million bucks.
