Via Slant Point I found this Guardian Article attempting to list hostages held or killed in Iraq, something I have been trying to do for awhile. Unfortunately for them, the list of hostages killed is incomplete. For a complete list, see my post on the subject. If I am missing any names, please e-mail me or drop a comment.

I think Noam Chomsky would say something like, "Find out who benefits, and you'll find the motivation."

So, who is behind QandO's Jon Henke? I bet it's GE's War Making Division.

5 miles, 50 miles....what does it matter?

Kerry now claims he was not in Cambodia, but near it on Christmas. Near being 50 miles away. Pretty close if you're in Texas, but not in Vienam. Sa Dec, where Kerry was stationed, is LITERALLY halfway across the country!! (Source)

Captain Ed has the complete story.

QuandO also spanking the Kerry campaign.

UPDATE: The Instapundit ripped off my idea...but has a better map.

Did you know that the Orthodox church celebrates Christmas two weeks after we do? That's what John Kerry meant by Christmas in Cambodia.....Orthodox Christmas

Drudge flash: Kerry has turned to author Brinkley for a "modification" after it was exposed that Kerry was not in Cambodia during Christmas of 1968, as he once claimed from the Senate floor.

The Brinkley piece for the NEW YORKER will now say that Kerry was not in Cambodia during Christmas, but rather in January, publishing sources tell DRUDGE.

This gets stranger and stranger.

Capatain Ed has the lowdown on it.

From Xinhuanet:

Three people have been killed and several others wounded in an overnight shelling in Georgia's separatist region of South Ossetia.

Irina Gagloyeva, head of the South Ossetian Information and Press Committee, says Tskhinvali, the capital of Ossetia, and surrounding Ossetian villages were heavily shelled by Georgians the previous night.

Earlier on Thursday, the leadership of self-run South Ossetia issued an ultimatum to Georgia, demanding that it stop the shelling at Tskhinvali within 30 minutes, or they would eliminate the armed forces that had filtered into the conflict zone between South Ossetia and Georgia.

Tension has been high between Tbilisi and South Ossetia since late May over the status of the breakaway region.

I went to college in Russia for a year and can tell you that there is a deep feeling of solidarity between citizens of Russia and Russians living abroad. Russian nationalism is not based entirely on ethnicity. Rather, to be truly Russian you must be Orthodox as well. One can be ethnically Russian, and still be considered an outsider. This is why Jews never really fit in. In fact, Russians feel a much deeper solidarity with Serbs, who are also Slavic and Orthodox, than they do with Jews, Gypsies, and Asians living in Russia proper. This explains why Russia would not allow approval of a UN resolution authorizing force in Yugoslavia. To Russians, an attack on Yugoslavia is nearly an attack on the motherland itself.

So, the fact that a tense ceasefire has been broken in Ossetia's civil war with Georgia, means that a broader regional war could break out. Georgia also has had long standing border disputes with it's other neighbors. This is bad.

For a long time I've argued with Jewish blog-buddies that the day a Republican get's 30% of the Jewish vote is the day Elijah comes to the seder. Folks, you did remember to put some food in front of that extra seat, right?

Man, I never liked this guy...til now!

Newsmax:

My decision to vote for the re-election of President George W. Bush, despite the fact that I am a lifelong Democrat, has caused some to call me a turncoat. But am I really? Or am I moving in a direction the Democratic Party itself should be going?....

Why have I endorsed George W. Bush when I don't agree with him on a single domestic issue? Because I believe the issue of international terrorism trumps all other issues. I don't believe the Democratic Party has the stomach and commitment to deliver on this issue.

Over the years, I have expressed my anxieties at the escalating worldwide anti-Semitism that now abounds in Western European countries such as France, England, Germany, Belgium, Holland and throughout Eastern Europe, including Russia. We haven't seen the likes of this rising tide of hatred directed at Jews since the 1930s. So, of course, I am interested in the views of the two presidential candidates toward Israel and its security.

President George W. Bush has amazed me. Bush 41, the father, was not particularly good on this issue. I do not believe that he is anti-Semitic, but his secretary of state, James Baker, perhaps summed up the attitude prevailing in that administration when he said: "F--- the Jews. They don't vote for us anyway."

Bush 43, the son, has fallen far from that tree. I believe most Jewish leaders will concede that of all U.S. presidents, Bush 43 has been the most supportive and protective of the security of the State of Israel.

Jews have priorities and are entitled to them just like every other ethnic group in America....

"For Jews, it is the security of the State of Israel. When 200 French Jews recently left France out of fear of persecution by Muslim toughs in that country, they knew that Israel would take them without condition, which was not the case when Jews were fleeing Germany before World War II.

"However, you are misinformed on my position as to why I support President Bush for reelection. I support him because of the Bush Doctrine, "we will go after the terrorists and the countries that harbor them." He has demonstrated that he means it by invading Afghanistan and Iraq, both threats to their regions and to the U.S. I do not believe that the Democratic Party, which is now dominated by those who preferred Governor Dean for president, but decided he could not win, has the stomach to take on worldwide terrorism. Indeed, a New York Times-CBS poll of the delegates at the Boston Convention demonstrated their opposition to John Kerry's position which is not to get out of Iraq now. It is the party activists who the candidate has to rely on to get elected and whose positions generally prevail.

"I have held public office for 23 years. I was elected five times as Congressman and three times as Mayor with super majorities after the first election for each office. New Yorkers trusted my insights and common sense, and I believe they still do. The Islamic terrorists, in the words of Lee Hamilton, "want to kill us," and there are hundreds of millions of them. I want a President who is willing to go after them before they have the chance to kill us.

"There is nothing wrong with American Jews, concerned for the safety of all Americans, to be grateful that President Bush supports the State of Israel when European states in fear of terrorism capitulate to the demands of the terrorists and are hostile to Israel.

8 If John Kerry became president, god forbid, he would back out of Iraq, covering his action as "the right thing to do". No matter what he says now, his anti war activist view is deep in his psyche. He will broadcast all over the place that he "will stay the course" and before we know it, he will "cut and run", following his basic nature of fli-flopping. He cannot be trusted. We Americans cannot protect ourselves by holing up in a WWII bomb shelter. We can only win by taking the fight to the enemy, destroying them and their capacity to harm Americans. There is only one man who has demonstrated his resolve to take the fight to the enemy, President George Bush.

I hope the majority do as the good ole USA will suffer in a manner it has never done before IF Kerry gets elected. There terrorists know two things...Bush says what he means and means what he says. Kerry doesn't mean a thing he says and will cut and run and leave a path for them to follow and destory anything they want.

25 Kerry is making it another NAM. He voted for the war too. We are stuck there and should support our troops, even if we do not support the decision. The French had been in Nam and couldn't change it. I cannot understand how we thought that we could, but maybe it had something to do with calling it a "Conflict" WHICH was crap, it was a WAR. Kennedy had planned to withdraw Jan of 1964, but died before he could do it. Johnson continued it with no regard for Kennedy's plan. That war was fought by both volunteers and the drafted. The Iraqi war is being fought by volunteers only. Let us hope that those sleezy people spitting and calling our brave soldier's returning from Nam "Baby killer's", will not disgrace our current soldiers. I have the greatest respect for all Vietnam Vets, they deserve honor for their service and courage. I watched the 7th Marine Division ship out from Pendleton and knew many Marines. My father was one, my son is one, and my daughter is currently serving in the Navy. As Americans, we should not let a war that was voted on by both Kerry and Bush, divide and conquer our untiy as a nation. That is exactly what the rest of the world wants to see happen to this great country.

28 My daugter volunteered for duty after 9/11 she felt so strongly about what happened. Maybe what the Patriots feel is that they are acting like Americans by standing up for their homeland Parents, wives, husbands and children for generations have had to face the possibility of their family member facing death as a soldier. My heart goes out to the families. Beheading is the most haneous way to die. The animals are posting these atrocities on the web for the world to see. After the first American was beheaded, I cannot imagine why any American not related to the Military would consider going into Iraq knowing that they could meet with the same fate.

Posted by: Louella at September 22, 2004 10:19 PM (s6c4t)

30 no it is not acceptable but dont forget they had children and women in vietnam killing our soldiers. its not very often that a veitnam vet will sit down and talk to you about the war but if you haven't done so you should if you can find someone that is willing.WHEN I SAID START ACTING LIKE AMERICANS I WASNT TALKING OF OUR SOLDEIRS I STAND BEHIND THEM ONE HUNDRED PERCENT. WHAT I MEANT WAS LETS NOT TAKE THIS SITTING DOWN AND I SOMETIMES FEEL THAT WE ARE. we have to make an example out of these terrorist to make sure they or any one else never does this again I DONT FEEL BUSH IS DOING THAT. and im not sure that kerry can but i beleive it is time to give someone else a try .

31 Also don't forget bush didn't serve in veitnam would he have done the same? these are answers to questions we will never know. kerry has a way more impressive military background than bush. i would think you need to be in a war to lead one .do you not? so what he was in the military. but you dont hire a dish washer at KFC to be a manager at a ruths chris steak house.

33 Thanks Chad, I will let Katya know you are supportive of our troops. Yeah, I know what you mean about having a President with a Military background. I felt that was one of Clinton's weak points. Had Clinton had a strong military history, perhaps after the first bombing, we may have not had the WTC 9/11. You are right, the children and women were bomb carrier's in NAM. When Kerry came back, instead of trashing his brother's in service, he should have pointed this out. I think I would have felt better about him. The terrorist recently used two women and will use children as they become more desperate. God Bless America and lead us to the right leader for these times.

So many of our men believed it was a just war that they returned on many tour's of duty. Being a girlfriend and sister-in-law of Marine's in the 7th Mar Div I had many a verbal confrontation with these scroungy hippie types. Filthy smelly bastards. I truly believe that Kerry was a traitor and a liar and should not be serving in the Senate, let alone as our Commander in Chief.

39 kerry just whipped the shit out of bush in debate and there ar still people for bush. what is wrong with you people bush had the same answer for all the questions asked we all know what that answer was we heard it enough last night.that i shouldnt have to repeat it again . maybe the next debates bush will get his tongue untwisted and his head out of his ass long enough to address the american people the way that a president should be able to but i doubt it the only way for him to win this is to cheat like he did when he first got elected.

Posted by: chad at October 01, 2004 05:24 PM (yjSzR)

40 Bush has never been known for his speaking ability, but do I want a president who got a manicure prior to the debate, or one who chops his own wood? Kerry is way too cozy with his European buddies, maybe it is because he married one. I think the Vietnam Vets should be the one's voting in this election. I will vote the way they do. They deserve respect as do our troops!

Posted by: Louella at October 01, 2004 08:18 PM (s6c4t)

41 his speaking ability or his leader ability they both are lacking. the only reason he is in office is that he cheated to get there . bush was tottally unprepared last night he had no answers to any of the questions that make americans feel that he was on top of things because hes not he so deep he will never get out im sorry he will get out as soon as the american people vote him out not only was he tripping over himself last night he was pissed off doing it kerry made mr president look stupid which wasnt hard to do he has no plan to get our troops home keryy won that debate as i hope he does the election somebody has to get us out of the mess he has caused he is obviously not . living next door is a wife of a soldier in the war she is a school teacher and her and her whole family is for kerry because thay know he will finish this thing and get our familys back together where is your kids going to be these holidays and the holidays in the next four years if bush wins

Posted by: chad at October 01, 2004 08:58 PM (yjSzR)

42 Kerry looked good last night, especially because he got a manicure prior to the debate, but I am still very disturbed about his wrong war, wrong place and time comment. It appears to me that he is doing the same thing to our Troops that he did when he returned from NAM.....he is making their service insignificant and undermining our efforts in Iraq. REGARDLESS, what is going to do about his out of control wife and that brown nosing twit Edwards?

43 kerry said several times in the debate that he was behind our troops as for his out of control wife maybe she is saying what should be said what most people are afraid to say she has better speaking skills than the president shes not tongue twisted like the president is 90% of the time.maybe the president should take lessons from kerrys wife. edwards is twice as smart as bush and three times smarter than cheney . our country is in trouble bush caused it and he cant fix it he hated every thing that kerry brought up in the debate because he had NO ANSWER for any of it why dont he just say it I CANT FIX MY SCREW UPS! every one but him knows that he cant. this is one of those do we need to draw you a picture? bush did during the debate. we got two more to go lets see what happens.

44 While you vietnam vets were in the jungle Dubya was getting drunk. I lost a lot of my friends in Nam and some came back & wish they were dead. This BS war in Iraq is all for the $, no wmds, it's a bunch of crap. You know what Kerry said when he came back was true. Other guys told me the same thing. It was kill oir be killed. No one knew who the enemy was after a while. Anyone that can;t take it then I repeat what Jack Nicholson said "YOU CAN'T TAKE THE TRUTH" Vietnam was a screwed up was but it was child's play compared to this quagmire. Suck it up you vets. We lost Vietnam and some of it was the agent orange this gov't threw on you and you know it!

45 i agree with you . KERRY AND EDWARDS MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT!

46 I know any person who was in the service in nam or korea would not say the things that kerry said when he returned.Unless he was hiding somewhere peaking out watching.I realy like the part where he forgot to bring his metals to the protest so he threw away metals that was given to someone other than himself this tells me a lot about kerry. If these metals were mine he just might not be here to run for any thing

47 BUSH AND CHANEY ON NOVEMBER 2 2004 That is of course unless you are stupid enough to want another 9/11

Posted by: William Merson at October 09, 2004 09:59 AM (m3luC)

48 at least kerry has metals some great ones at that three purple hearts and a bronze star for saving the lives of others where is bush's metals we have to have some one that has fought for this country to lead a fight for this country kerry is not going to let another 9/11 happen and if it does happen it could happen with bush if you watched the second debate which kerry one by the way bush said it is not if its when its and bush said he is scared if he was and you are so sure another 9/11 won't happen with bush why are both of you scared sure im scared regardless of who the president is but it is time for a change edwards said in his debate with cheney we cant stand another four years of bush we will be so deep we won't be able to get out.

49 Hey Chad, I hope all is going well with you. I am still voting for Bush, but will support Kerry if he is elected, as a Patriot should do. This fight on terror is all about us being a united front against any group threatening our way of life. I still have problems with Kerry only spending four months in Nam. It is not about how many metals he won...to me it is about how many he threw away. I know men who did multiple tours of duty there, that will not back down on their own personal feelings about Kerry and I will vote their conscious because they deserve it. I could eventually get past Kerry, but what to do about his running mate and that horrible shrew of a woman he is married to. Amazing how they talk about fuel consumption....I wonder how much fuel their own personal jet and all of their other big toys use? Either way, we will need to unite as Americans as we continue to loose our foothold in our own Country. So many foreigner's have more rights than we do and so many green card holders, have no intention of becoming American's although some have lived here for over 25 years. English is not even our National language, can you believe that? Yet we continue to produce government documents in over 13 languages. I say all people should be able to speak basic English before they are even considered for entrance. We need to clean house, get rid of those taking up our jobs, but that have no intention of becoming one of us. Then we must shut our doors and take inventory.

50 JOHN KERRY IS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS INDIVIDUALS THAT IS SEEKING THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE U.S.A. HE MUST BE STOPPED.MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HIS VOTING RECORD AND HIS PERSONAL LIFE MUST COME OUT IN SPITE OF THE MEDIA BIAS. HIS PRESIDENCY WILL RUIN OUR NATION AS WE KNOW IT.

51 PRESIDENT CLINTON BOMBED IRAQ BECAUSE CONGRESS, THOUGH IRAQ HAD WMD.SUDAHAM HAD 4 YEARS TO HIDE OR TRANSFER WMD.READ UNFIT FOR COMMAND& FORM YOUR OPPION OF ,HIS ,COWARD.

52 Diane, you are so right! I too believe Kerry and his wife are dangerous. Unfortunately, we may get stuck with this dandy as president. I hear that the democrats are coming out of the woodwork for this election. I cannot wait for the Documentary "Stolen Honor" to come on tv to set the record straight. I am going to rent "Farenhype" also. Kerry would turn our Country into Socialist France if given a chance.

Posted by: LouellaK at October 16, 2004 03:59 PM (s6c4t)

53 I too am a Viet Nam Vet. I feel that all of the hate talk comming as a result of this campaign is a very sad commentary. We have become a very divided nation at a time when we should be united. Dirty politics is bad news under any circumstanses. This repeated Kerry bashing is not good for our great nation. Lets stick to the issues and leave the smut behind. the war ended more than a generation ago. Dirty politics is a complete turn off for me. Mud sling by anyone is a true sign of weakness!! I hope we as a country can clean up our act and look forward and guide our country towards bigger and better days ahead. I am very much offended by the mud slinging by my fellow war veterans!!

54 I often wonder if anyone looking for WMD and couldn't find any, ever thought of how easy it would be to take a few bulldozers out in the desert and bury lots of things including WMD. At one time my neighbor had a small Poodle and it had worms and it would drop small peices here and there. I wonder if that's where those two jurks,menzl & chad came from. Dick L.

55 Freedom of Information Act states that Kerry shows Navy has no copy of his discharge..Sec of the Navy under Pres Carter refers to Title 10, US code, section 1162 and 1163 "involuntary separation" Can not be Honorable discharge Kerry spokesman will not comment. FBI investigated him from 9/70 to 8/72 His service should have been from 2/18/66 to 2/18/72 Kerry's form DD214 , Block 30 art 13b says no discharge cert issued Block 27 "wounds received in actionremarks " remark is "not applicabnle" Remarks indicate a diswcharge "less than honorable" After 5 months in the senate, 6-4-85, Kerry got his medals returned to him and u want to vote for this phoney

63 Thank you Frank, no one can say it better than a Vet! I stand behind the decision our vets make and our the military personnel fighting the war. They are the one's that should decide this election.

Not that this will come as a shocker for anybody, but I plan on voting for Bush in the fall. I am not a hardcore Republican. In fact, if there was a real choice, I would say I am closer to the Libertarian Party than I am to the Republican Party. I almost ran as a Libertarian for Congress, but the state I live in has pretty high hurdles for getting third-party candidates on the ballot.

There are many key areas which I disagree with the Republican Party on. (yes, I ended that sentence with a preposition... sue me). Read the extended entry if this really interests you.

If not, then let me just remind you that today is Wictory Wednesday. Yup, I'm on board.

Remember, give til it hurts!

Win-win. Win, no problem.

Lose, kill Bush. Kerry takes the fall. Activate super-sleeper agent, codename 'Halliburton'.

Why is no one looking into the Halliburton-Cambodia ties? Everyone knows Nixon lied about the reason he bombed Cambodia. It's always about corporate interests, man. Corporate interests!

Why can't Kerry keep his Cambodia story straight? Brainwashing will do that to you, man.

Cats are evil. No, not just evil...evil incarnate. From the Guardian:

A Belgian aeroplane made an emergency landing after a cat got into the cockpit and attacked the co-pilot, it was revealed yesterday.

I didn't know he was gay!! That changes everything. He must be right then.

Both my long-term readers may know that my real professional interest is in environmental policy. Seriously. I'm a wuss greeny at heart. But what is a greeny to do when he also hates government? To paraphrase my illustrious namesake, Dale Gribble, "People don't ruin the environment, governments do."

Dr. Lomborg's book, The Skeptical Environmentalist, sits on that portion of my office shelf within quick reach. What can I say? I'm a fan.

So when I read this post by Diogones over at anti-com I was--how you say in English?--oh yeah, happy.

If Lomborg's book is too thick, Ronald Bailey basically has the same thesis, but is easier reading. Further, Lomborg doesn't argue that global warming isn't real. His major thesis is that the costs of addressing the problem far exceed any benefits. Since global warming will primarily hurt people in developing nations, there are far more important things to address. Oh, you know, like AIDS, malaria, clean water...........
