Go sit on the bench marked group W.
It was two days ago on Friday thatÂ’s about 48 hours ago from today Sunday. When my Friends and I were all hanging out at RustyÂ’s blog.
But RustyÂ’s blog is not he name of the blog itÂ’s just the name of the song.ThatÂ’s why I call the song RustyÂ’s blog.
We all decided that it would be a nice gesture if we all posted stuff and commented on RustyÂ’s blog while he was on vacation.
So we packed up PCÂ’s, MacÂ’s and implements of destruction, loaded them all up in a green VW microbus and headed on over to the mu.nu domain.
When we got there we saw a pile of words. We figured one big pile was better than a bunch of little piles and rather than download his we decided to upload ours and thatÂ’s what we did.
Went home drank a bottle of homemade wine that couldnÂ’t be beat and didnÂ’t get up until the next morning. When we got a call from Officer Opie.
He said KidÂ…. Â…. We found your name on a piece of trash on the blog. We donÂ’t like your kind. And weÂ’re gonna move you down.
And after speaking of it for about 25 minutes on the gmail it came down to the fact that we were going to have to come down to the blog office.
When we got there was some good looking feisty girl sitting at a desk giving directions she said, “Go over there and wait on that bench marked group W”.
Group W is where they put you if you may not be moral or smart enough to post stuff on the blog after comiting your special blog crime.
There were all kinds of nasty critters sitting there on the bench. Greg, DSM, Greyrooster, IM, Filthy, Osama, Â…Â… There were commentrapers Â… Â… bloggerstabbers. Â…. .Â…bloggerrapers!!!Â…
They were all mean and nasty sounding and the biggest meanest ugliest bloggerraper of em all was coming right over to me and he was all mean and nasty and scary lookinÂ’.
He said, “What did you get?”
I said, “I didn’t get nothing, just had to pay $50 and let people read my garbage.”
They asked, “What are you here for?” and I said, “littering.”…. …. Well they all moved away from me there on the bench. …… ……
Till I said, “And creating a nuisance.” And they all came back and we had a good time talking about bloggerstabin’, comment rapin’, stupid postin’ and all kinds of groovy things.
Then Sith Master Rusty came over and said,
“Kid!”…………..
“Thisblog’sgot40000hits30000readers- 200regularcommenters23authorsi

bunchofpainsintheass Â…Â…. For 45 minutes and none of us understood a thing he said. But we had fun playing sol in tiny windows on our cell phones and filling out the forms there.
We all went back home had another glass of homemade wine that couldnÂ’t be beat and didnÂ’t get up until the next morning. When it was time to go back to work. .
IÂ’ve been typing this crap for 25 minutes and I could go on for another 25 minutes. IÂ’m not proud Â… Â… or tired. But IÂ’ll give you a break and save it.

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

Howie's digging out
Yeah I had a few minutes to give to the blog today so here goes.
Is or was Air America supported by dollars intended to feed the hungry? Michelle Malkin has more. Hey maybe weÂ’ll make Air America again.
Also see MichelleÂ’s post on the leftover bombs from the 7/7 terrorists.
Is terrorism a perversion of Islam? Mark in Mexico has more. Mark has tracked back to the Jawa several times before. Reciprocation is called for here.
Here is another story from Mark, about an Iraqi boy who learned first hand about America. He does not want to go home. LetÂ’s all wish him a safe and happy return home and an invite back.
Also for those of you who have noticed IÂ’ve been pretty busy and unable to blog much. But the good news is. I got that adapter and at least now I have a keyboard I can live with. Yep no more chicklets for me.
If you guys would like to annoy a terrorist supporter. Check this guy out, on this thread. IÂ’ll post a partial quote below the break. Spoofer?? I'm not sure but the email address certainly sucks. There are also several other candidates to annoy on this thread. As for his wish against the south and great midwest. Lick me freedomkiller.

Typical incoherent babbling from another mental patient. Surprised they found the time to break away from surfing for kiddie porn to actually use the keyboard.
Real brave these assholes are behind a keyboard in their basement. Personally, I couldn't give two shits if one likes my political views or not, but wishing death upon someone because they disagree with you is beyond tha pale. Not that I'm surprised.

This is the same asshole who was threatening the other muslim from Calgary a few months ago. Remember the Sunni Muslim that is a civil engineer and works for the city of Calgary. I played a guessing game with him and picked his occupation and who he worked for. Anyway the little shit is a wack job who couldn't whip the hen that hatched him.
Canada should be proud of their immigrants. After all they come for religious freedom. For whom is the question?

I've given you all I've got Captain
You know Scotty always had just a bit of power left for the good Captain. I note this AM that James Doohan our beloved
Scotty has died this AM at 5:30 at his home in Redmond Washington.
Good bye Scotty We'll all miss you and thanks for all the good times.
Updated:
A few more notes on Mr. Doohan. He was a WWII D-Day vet with the Canadian army. He took six rounds loosing a finger and was saved by a silver cigarette case when one hit him in the chest. So not only did he play tough he was. He was born on march 3rd 1920 in Vancouver BC. He is to be cremated and his ashes launched into orbit. Mr Doohan suffered from Alzheimer's and Pneumonia upon his death at age 85. Last year he was given a star on the walk of fame.

Around the blogosphere
Ah yes what to post today. Well cool It looks like that has been taken care of by our good friends around the blogosphere. Thanks guys.
Elisa at Boxer Watch sends us these.
As we noted in this post, Senator Boxer is circulating a petition demanding a "strategy" and a "timetable" for the mission in Iraq. At the time of this posting, 35,352 people have signed her petition.
We need to make sure that President Bush hears the OTHER side - our support for his efforts to promote democracy in the Middle East in a realistic way.
We have posted a petition at PetitionOnline.com - you'll find it here
Romeodelta sends us this tidbit on the Germany releasing yet another terrorist
His post is based on this AP story.
Indeed one of my favorite words is now off limits. Gee hope I donÂ’t have to cough up 5 GÂ’s for that. Well like they can get blood from a turnip anyway.
Thanks to Glen Reynolds for his one.
Also President Bush will Announce Sandra Day O'Connor's replacement at 9:00pm EDT.
I think she will be confirmed easily.

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday SUNDAY!!!!!!
Well itÂ’s Sunday again. IÂ’ve said before that I will do a Sunday thing so now I have to live up to that. First of all Howie is pretty much pooped. So bear with me I debated doing a post or not but I said I would so here goes.
Not too far off on my 7/3 Sunday entry it was Thursday instead of Tuesday. Lucky guess huh? Been looking around the news outlets and the blogoshere this week. Pretty dull if you aren’t interested in “The Rove Affair”. Just what are they trying to drown out? Well it turns out quite a bit of good news in the world this week. The terrorists are on an all out blitz. See suddenly now the shoe is on the other foot. For a bit there it seemed that we were shooting ourselves in the foot every week. Mr. Murphy has gone over to the terrorist’s side for a bit. I’m sure he’ll be back now and then. I read yesterday of a push by the terrorists to take Baghdad. Every attack they kill like one or two soldiers and 20 to 50 Iraqi’s. Time is showing them for what they are. They now know they cannot win the political war and are resorting to trying to win now win big. The tool of terrorism has become a lead weight on their necks. That’s it boys shoot yourselves in the foot some more. Heck, even a Nigerian email scammer got time this week. Can there be any doubt.
I would not want to downplay the real feeling I had this week about a downhill run here. But a cornered animal is the most dangerous. The enemy has run himself into a corner and now people everywhere are starting to turn against him. Britain is going to become more active, Muslims themselves are turning away from bombing innocents to a certain extent knowing the evil is just too obvious to deny any longer. Yes a good battle for the hearts and minds this week. We've won that one this month so far. Feels good. I see President Bush is allowing aid Directly to Palestine and they are right now being tested to see if they can make it work. Things have been going well there and terrorist groups who get their power from the conflict are trying to stop it. Israel is also stepping up its pressure. I hope the Palestinian Authority can prevail here the wind seems right. My fear is that too much Israeli pressure plays into the terroristÂ’s strategy.
Got some links & stuff IÂ’ve saved up for a few days. Good and bad mostly good news followed by the terrorist shooting themselves in the foot again trying to take it back. DonÂ’t let them.
A good essay on Marketplace that IÂ’ve got to listen to again and learn more about by Stanford Unger. Some freedom of speech issues there to look into.
Also IÂ’ve been catching a good portion of 102 Minutes a book about the 9/11 hijackings that is so far pretty good. Still plenty left on Radio Reader. WKMS does streaming IÂ’m not sure how many steams they can do. The show airs weekdays at 6:30 CDT. Good book.
A fine example of how the world is getting harder for the enemy. Yes they are falling out of fashion because now at long last even our oldest and most fickle ally France yes can you believe it France is getting on board.
USS Neverdock has more on that one.
Yes Muslims too.
The economy is on the mend and dong well as is the Federal Deficit. Definitely not as fun as the Rove thing but vastly more important.
From my Illinois Republican newsletter.
"DEFICIT FALLING. The White House reported this week that the deficit is falling and will continue to fall due to strong economic policy, which has generated much higher than expected tax revenues. As a result, this year's budget will fall to $333 billion which is $79 billion less than in 2004 and $94 billion less than forecasted by the Bush Administration in February. The White House now expects the deficit to decline to 1.1% of gross domestic product by 2009. Currently it sits at 2.7% of GDP (RNC Research 7/15/05)"
Yeah I know but I used em last week too.
What does our enemy think about all this. Well they are really pushing. Up to 10 car bombs in one day. One attack I read of had two US dead and twenty innocents. They are letting off bombs like there is no tomorrow. I can see why. He has to win now and canÂ’t. So you are going to see more stories like this one from fear mongers ABCNEWS.
The Sadam Charges are OK but the Iraq bombing summary is pretty rough.
Also worth worrying about this week is Dictator Hugo Chavez. He has recently imported millions of guns for his military while at the same time moving to take them from citizens. This guy is consolidating power. Here you go YBP IÂ’m sure youÂ’re intrested.
"Venezuela's highest Catholic prelate on Sunday condemned President Hugo Chavez's rule as a dictatorship and urged Venezuelans to reject it in an attack likely to strain already poor church-government ties."
Given the desperation of our enemy I would think this summer we all need to keep an eye out. I check out the
Northeast Intelligence network every week or so. This week the chatter is pretty serious looking forward for the summer. Remember the enemy needs this one. If they have no spectacular success and the current tactics keep going like the London bombings or Iraqi bombings itÂ’s just a matter of time. They are loosing and are desperate to get it back. What a difference a couple weeks can make.
IÂ’ll be out Monday so guest posters are welcome as Rusty indicated. With my Master absent I can use all the help I can get. IÂ’ll be available by email this week. And you guys behave Mad Dog is watching. IÂ’m such a push over and he isnÂ’t. Have a great week IÂ’ll be back now and then and on Wednesday. With Rusty out IÂ’ll try and keep an eye on things. Time for a glass of that fine wine I made. Yes the little woman and I are going to have a glass.
I shall not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Yes guys feel free to add to that one in comments. Be good.

Annoy another terrorist.
That last terrorist was so mellow check out his guy I saw on incoming comments Friday. He was posting on a thread about Al-ZaqueeryÂ’s website being taken down. Apparently weÂ’ve annoyed him before.
"U might have hacked good site ..but i dont think u could do all what u
wanna to do with anay site ..i give u a challenge .....
try hack this site if u could ...the bellow is a forum made by me
..but i make an open challege to u christians to do this ..ehheheheehe"
He left us these.

from ali ghanim ali abdulla
saeed@hotmail.com
Wow. After looking over the site it’s clear that if this guy created it he is making an effort to sound like a moron here. It’s very slick, very innocent looking. The are several areas including an “Islamic corner”. Also it has a separate area for women that you must email the site master to get access too. Hmmm. I wonder what other areas might be there that don’t show on the front page. Hmm. Where’s all the Arabic text. Hmmmm.. I’m not sure what this site is but someone was calling our attention to it for whatever reason. Well I guess it does not matter I’ve got everything including the IP address where the post was sent from.
Be aware of traps, gentlemen and good hunting Pajamahadeen.
While I was too dense to link to the page this does link to the Jawa archive for August 2004. Then search for 08/22 I will also post most of the entry below the break.

How many visitors do those sites get anyway? Not too many Internet connections in "terrorist countries". Only places to mock "Allahs bravest warriors" directly without going all the way to Skåne, Sweden. Or some Middle East country, whatever.

It's Time to Stick It to the Enemy in the GWOT!
Dr. Rusty,
There are several sites discussing they latest folks blowing themselves up and what may be the cause. In particular the Brits are beside themselves over learning it was homegrown 2nd generation youths who detonated.
Oh well - for more info see the discussion thread being led by Bill Reggio over at Winds of Change:
WOC Link
then follow the links to the other sites that have similar discussions. I linked back here re the dirty little secret that the Arabic men who sprang out of the desert can't seem to keep their hands off young boys.
Dr. Rusty I'm with you regarding these Jihadist sites need to be targeted. It's no big secret that the enemy uses the Net for command-control, recruiting, propaganda, and other evil purposes. The collective consciousness of the Jihadists is on the Net. Kind of like the Borg Collective.
They send messages concealed in the context of the photo or bury stuff in the meta files or steg them into the data files of the photos just like the kidde porn folks do. Gee I wonder if there is a relationship?
No big secret here however our alphabet soup agencies seem to have trouble getting enough translators to read the intercepts that look promising. Seems they have a tremedous backlog of backgrounds to do. Simple answer find Middle Eastern Christians who either speak Arabic or Farsi. No danger of them flipping or becomming counter-agents.
There are some good folks over at Internet-Haganah that patrol the net and attempt to squash or shut down these sites:
Link Here
They are always interested in learning about new sites. They continually pop up like the whack a mole arcade game.
This is war. Would we ever let the enemy gain air superiority over the battlefield? Hell No! But why are we giving them free run of CyberSpace? The Mad Mullahs of Iran and the Chinese (Our real enemy ala FOX Network's 24 Hours) are both actively blocking/filtering the free flow of information of their people. These tyrannitical regimes just can't have alternative points of view reaching their people. Seems the power of the "Big Lie" tends to fade a bit and they lose control of the people. Imagine that.
The last time I checked the following IT/IS giants are HQ'd here e.g. IBM, Intel, MS, Covad, Cisco, Motorola et al. Why the @#$% are we allowing these system blocks to remain. Aren't the US taxpayers paying for the US Military to provide an umbrella of security so that these companies can operate in reasonable safety and make a profit?
I'm also with you onthe idea of dealing with the GWOT as a law enforcement action is utter "Horse Pucky."

Rusty from another mother
I was just surfing through bookmarks to see what interesting tidbits I could find. Some of you may have heard Rusty Humphries before. Well he got a call from a gentleman from Florida of Iranian descent. The gentleman says itÂ’s likely that there are terrorists in the US. How does he know??
Paraphrased quote from a caller on Mr Humpries show on 7/14/05.
“There are fifty new mosques in the state of Florida alone in the last 10 years. They preach hate there to the Pakistanis to hate us as Americans and I know because I’m an ex-Muslim”
Link to Mr. Humphries' site.
Look down a bit and click the Phone call from Cyruss link.

Also while you are there check out the cool powerpoint presentation from Iraq on what our troops find there.

This is such old news. Muslims have been preaching hatred in the American mosques for years. These are the same muslims that people work next to in city and state governments. These are the same muslims that liberal idiots protect saying what nice people they are. Yet, when alone with other muslims they turn into werewolves.
I cannot see why for reasons of national security these mosques cannot be bugged and evidence used to send them back where they came from.

Four More 7/7 Suspects Arrested in Pakistan
Not
the Pakistan? There's got to be
another Pakistan cause, the way I hear it, Pakistan is a moderate Islamic country. Oh, and despite the fact that an al Qaeda cell took credit for the mass-murders, the MSM is now reporting as
news that al Qaeda may have been involved. Brilliant.
MSNBC:
Meanwhile, officials have continued to expand their search to include the possibility that there was a link between the four suicide bombers and al-Qaida.
A police official in Faisalabad, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters Friday that "security agencies have picked up four people. They were taken to an undisclosed location, but we were not involved in this operation."
On a serious note, Pakistan
is our ally in the war on terror. Not because they are a democracy, but because they are not. If the Afghanistan invasion taught the Pakistani state one thing it was that cooperation with the U.S. against al Qaeda is the safe route to survival. However, the vast majority of Pakistanis support the work of al Qaeda and Pakistan remains a state which claims to derive its legitimacy from Islam.
More on the Pakistani connection here.

Ah, good ol' Pakistan, they can't police their boarders because its not "under their control" and it's "tribal land" but they sure can occupy Kashmir with no problems at all!
I think it's time to turn the temperature up on both of our "allies" Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan for much more cooperation.

Rome wasn't built in a day, and draining a swamp requires dealing with its snakes and alligators, don'tchaknow? Most of the funding for terrorism still comes from Saudi Arabia, but we can't kill that golden goose just yet. This mess took a long time to make, now it will take even longer to clear up. I'd say that those being born today will still be fighting islamofascism and communism when we are long in our graves.

Yeah, that pretty much slayed me too. It's been splashed all over the MSM
(only one instance here) London suspects had U.S. connections. When in fact, as you read on, the "connections" are that one guy spent a single semester in college here five years ago, another's mother "may" have lived in Cleveland and he "may" have visited her there and a third "visited the US" once. NOW they're finally thinking about Pakistan? Give me a f***ing break.
And Pakistan is a necessary ally. A strategic ally. Not a "friend".

Imagine fighting a war against Muslims without Pakistans support. You'd get a few nuke crates on your own continent. Imagine INVADING Pakistan. The whole world would be a big nuke crater.
Better be friends with Pakistan if you're not the guys providing their plutonium. But feel free to piss them off, no-one important likes or cares about Usacs anyway.

Oyster, comoon. Why would terrorists attack England? The whole attack was Usacs work.
As long as everyone knows it's Muslims against Usacs, no-one really helps you. If stuff like London happens and proof that you did it isn't enough to nuke you, war becomes mostly white leaches of the world
(proud to be a part of this worlddestroying/owning/ruling übergroup using 80% of everything) against 3rd world Arabs, and then they would be really screwed, since violence and brutalities towards them would get no objections.
(Only people who really care about human rights violations and can publicly protest about it without injuries of any kind: lazy feminine people with personality issues that need to "help" meaningless people because of lack of own life in wimpy societies that submit to laws and rights (so the English/the French/Canucs/Swedes/Usacs))

Male chicken of wierd color:
Same as being insignificant in any other country, so no different from any of you, except that better, since I have no reason to worry about anything, since nothing effects me. Italy or France have never ever ever been big. Rome was big, but Rome was the city, the emperors and later the Vatican, never "Italy". France... big in America, Africa and Asia way back when. Takes no effort at all to beat the crap out of defenceless arrows:swords:shields:'n:spears savages vulnerable to every possible European illness. And still they go their parfumed Chiracie asses kicked everywhere right after the monkeys teamed up or got guns. Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnever big in Europe. Only things "big" in Europe (not in some backwater retardolands) during these thousands of years of having a monkey-like creature populating it: Neanderthals, Cro-Magnons, Rome, The Holy Roman Empire (Germany), Mongols, Russia, Imperial Germany, Soviet Union, 3te Reich (Germany again) and now EU (totally owned by Germans (Holland, Belgium, Luxemburg, Austria, Germany)). And EU is here to stay unless someone crushes it (do so, I won't, I like this mess).
And if you meant Russia, well, we slaughtered them and ran them out many times, burnt down their countrys Europe-side two or three times, gave a sanctuary to Lenin so he could cause havoc among them and slaughtered some more of them soon after. So they're covered in our piss as they lick their deep and painful wounds and try to piss on us from a distance now that we can't just rip their throat open because of this wimpy modern world. (Finnish Spitz is loud for a good reason. Poodle, husky, shephard, bulldog or Siberian wolf, don't matter, if the foe ignores warnings and gets too close, no mercy. A strong killer instinct and smells danger miles away)
Brad:
...Hah. That Napoolion III and the Italofascist Silvio have only eaten food from Finnish restaurants, which, due to record low visitors
(fastfood-spots, pizzerias and restaurants get the combined amount 5,4 million visits a month, which is only a bit over once a month for each Finn), mimic the pitiful, unfilling, foul-tasting, minimal rabbitfood rations made with foreign recepies and ways of cooking, so it's the same shit served everywhere else
(Well, not in Texas, where food comes in the right size portions: enough for 2-4 hours of enjoyable eating. Actually tastes good too, if one likes barbecue and chili sauce in everything. (was there for a few days, (one reason for not... well, doing whatever I do here), ate this and that, completely redefined the word "fat", learned that fiery hot chili is as uneatable as very malty mämmi, also noticed how all the chairs were heavy metal and helluva wide in public places ((Have you noticed that your beer has no alcohol in it and still tastes horrible?)))), but with cooks who have never gotten enough comments about cooking it, since no-one eats in restaurants often enough to bother commenting about "trivial" mistakes.
So they have never eaten any Finnish cooking, just foreign cooking cooked by Finns or foreign cooks working in Finland.

A Finn: Months ago I told you to quit smoking cheap Russian pot. It's obvious you didn't listen.
If you whipped the Russians so bad how come they ruled your country for so long?
The only first I know of from Finland is the worlds ugliest female president.
Finnish Spitz is part cat and any of my dogs would have it for supper.
No worries about your EU. It will soon be run by Muslims. Anything the muslim turks wish, all the other muslims will scream for. A vote against anything turkish will be a vote against islam. The wogs breed like rats and without leaders like Saddam they will soon be the majority. So what Finland wishes really doesn't matter. The only thing that protects finland is its too cold for ragheads. Like all immigrants they only wish to live in the best places.
Quit smoking that stuff. It causes you to ramble incoherently.

Male chicken of unusual chickencolor doesn't seem to know anything.
0 I don't do drugs and all the pot in Finland comes from Holland. Also, thanks a friggin' lot for "liberating" Afganistan of the organisation that singlehandedly ended all drug production in the country that produced 80% of worlds heroin. Thanks to you, junkies have cheaper drugs now that they are returning to their normal lives again...
1 Russians "ruled" our country by letting us collect our own taxes and spend it all on our own and deciding everything ourself. The only thing they influenced was that we weren't Swedens infinite source of bloodthirsty, dreaded, vicious, merciless, out of control berserkers any more. The thing that actually caused us to disarm every Russian near our country, start supporting Lenins work and declare independence was that Russians tried to make us teach Russian at schools. (Already was, but since they told us to do so, suddenly we didn't wanna and chased 'em out.)
2 Of course it's the only first thing you know about Finland, you know nothing since you live in a bubble and everything you don't yet know has to be hammered in your head or burnt on your hand for you to know something outside your little world.
3 Thought you were a cat person. Well anyways, any Finnish Spitz could kill ten of any of your dogs.
4 Personally, I don't care. They can't survive here, so they might as well overrun everything else. Only Finns can exist in Finland, everyone else needs constant care to live here or they'll just wither.
5 No one gives a flaming chicken about EU rules and regulations anyway, so who makes the decisions doesn't matter. As long as there are nukes there will be no war between any people in Europe or elsewhere in or right next to countries that don't want to fight because their people are such greyroosters that they would have no chance against anything knocking hard on their door. And as long as NATO comes to Finland to make their troops fight our obligatory service noobs and looses every year like they do now, we know you suck and we can kick everyones ass anytime, since NATO (most of EU and Usa) is the second strongest military force there is. Right after Finland. How about a war? I'd love to invade you and everyone knows no one can use nukes or everyone does, that's the thing keeping world peace alive.

Compare and contrast
One of the ways you can tell an American soldier from his adversary is how they treat children, Muslim children especially. All you have to do is read Mad Dog VinnieÂ’s post from yesterday. And
Mike PecharÂ’s post from a couple days ago and you get a pretty good idea.
I found this little gem on ABCNEWS. Been looking for good news and this qualifies. It seems a young boy from Iraq was suffering from heart problems. What did our boys do? Well they helped out of course. I hope this little oneÂ’s recovery goes well and he gets to play and live a long and happy life. Contrast that with the 24 young people murdered by our enemy just to get at one US soldier. Come on you pigs they are kids. They want candy and they are smart enough to have learned that there is nothing to fear from an American GI unless you are his enemy. Unfortunately many learned to fear our enemy that day. Just keep it up, the contrast between us will be what wins the war for civilized people everywhere. Our enemy will be swept into the dust bin of history. Put there by the truth of what they really are, Murderers plain and simple.
“I am very grateful to everybody, to the American troops back in Iraq, to all Houstonians and I'm very grateful to the doctors who did the surgery," the father said nervously”

Greg is a moron who should be purged from society, as I've said before. I have no doubt that he would aid terrorists in any way possible, and may be actively doing so even now. He says he is from Texas, and there are plenty of radical mosques in Texas. I'll bet a dollar he's aiding terrorists in some way, that is, other than by propagandising for them on the internet.

London bombing mastermind detained in Egypt (UPDATED)
Here is a post with open source information on ElNashar.
I see this AM that Magdy el-Nashar has been caught in Egypt. It is believed he is the mastermind behind the london bombings. Way to go Egypt hand him over.
CNN news story.
Hooray!!!!
UPDATE by Admiral Rusty Shackleford: It's too early to call him the mastermind, there is a Pakistani national still at large who has been described that way, but he certainly was a central actor in the scheme. It was in his apartment that the bomb-making equipment was found placing him squarely in the middle of the conspiracy. And since my readers are so much more well-informed than, say, the average anchorman on CNN and have known that Magdy Mahmoud Elnashar was a grad student at NC State since early yesterday, they might want to check out this post from William Teach and click through the links (hat tip, Basil). Are college towns the next logical targets for terrorists?
Here is what The Mirror has to say. Be sure to scroll through and find the shocking revelation that Nashar was a devout Muslim who apparently couldn't keep his yap shut about the Religion of Peace for more than five seconds:
A KEY suspect in the London bombings has been held for questioning near Cairo, Scotland Yard said today.
Egyptian security sources identified the man to be Magdy Mahmoud Elnashar (left), a bio-chemist thought to have links to a Leeds flat being searched by anti-terrorist officers.
The 33-year-old bio-chemist is believed to have handed the keys of a terror base in Leeds to the four killers.
He is also thought to have been close to Lyndsay Jermain, a 19-year-old Jamaican also known as Abdullah Shaheed Jamal, suspected of being the fourth member of the gang.
More information on El-Nashar below.
Updated again.
The explosive TATP has been found in Magdy el-Nashar's appartment.
The BBC.
"Explosives found in a house in Leeds are said to be similar to those used in al-Qaeda attacks and made from ingredients available in high-street chemists."
CNN
"One of the sources said that investigators found the TATP in the Leeds apartment rented by Magdy el-Nashar"
I had nothing to do with the explosion I just have bombs laying around all the time. Yeah right.

Every time someone asks, and not without merit, why is it we make such a fuss over some countries, and give others a pass? The answer is simple; some countries are useful to us "as is", while others must be dealt with. Egypt must also change eventually, but not just yet, for various reasons, as with Saudi Arabia and other counties. You don't start an avalanche by trying to push the mountain down, you start by dislodging the small stones first. Enough small stones in motion will bring a mountain down. I'd say free, voting, unoppressed people in two islamic countries could count as many small stones. The islamic world is changing, person by person, slowly but surely, and the change will be irreversible. How can you keep someone in darkness once they've seen the light?

Al Qaeda Arrest in Iraq Linked to Murder of Egyptian Ambassador
Good news from Iraq. It looks like we may have got the man responsible for
the murder of Egyptian Ambassador Ihab al-Sherif. That's two al Qaeda cell leaders caught in the last week.
Off with their heads!
AP:
The U.S. military on Thursday announced the capture of two key members of Iraq's most-feared terror group, including one suspected in the kidnap-slaying of an Egyptian envoy and attacks on senior diplomats from Pakistan and Bahrain.
Khamis Farhan Khalaf Abd al-Fahdawi, known as Abu Seba, was arrested last Saturday following operations in the Ramadi area west of Baghdad, the U.S. military said in a statement.
He was accused of involvement in the abduction and killing of Egypt's top envoy in Iraq and attacks on Pakistani and Bahraini diplomats earlier this month.
"Seba served as a senior lieutenant of al-Qaida in Iraq, and is suspected in attacks against diplomats of Bahrain, Pakistan and the recent murder of Egyptian envoy, Ihab Salah al Din Ahmad al-Sherif," the U.S. statement said. "Al-Qaida ordered the attacks against Arab diplomats in an effort to reduce support for the government of Iraq according to a military spokesman."
Another al-Qaida in Iraq lieutenant, Abdullah Ibrahim Mohammed Hassan al Shadad, or Abu Abdul Aziz, was captured Sunday, the command said. It said Abu Abdul Aziz was a top lieutenant of al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and served as operations officer for the group.
The statement said Abu Abdul Aziz was cooperating with coalition forces.

Which reminds me, I just heard on Fox and that there is a massive sandstorm in Baghdad today, and wonder of wonders, the childish Arab simpletons are blaming it on the coalition forces. A sandstorm.

That Banner of Songun dude from North Korea was telling us about some kind of Secret “Weather machine” the US had. He accused America of using this apparatus to ruin the rice crop in North Korea this year.
This brings up two questions for me:
1. Have we moved the weather machine to Iraq?
2. Do they have tin foil in North Korea?

Body of Last Missing Seal Found in Afghanistan
The Taliban had announced that the missing Seal had been captured and then beheaded. This just goes to show how full of shit the Taliban are. The Seal was killed in action and was not captured. Rest in Peace.
WaPo:
The body of a missing U.S. commando has been located in eastern Afghanistan, the military said Monday, bringing an end to the desperate search for the last member of an ill-fated, four-man special forces unit that disappeared last month.
One of the four men was rescued on July 3; the other two were found dead the next day.
The body of the fourth U.S. Navy SEAL was found Sunday in Kunar province by a search and rescue team, the military said in a statement. It said all indications are that he died in fighting, despite a claim by Mullah Latif Hakimi, a purported Taliban spokesman, that he was captured alive and beheaded.
"The location and disposition of the service member's remains indicate he died while fighting off enemy terrorists on or about June 28," the statement said.
U.S. military spokesman Col. James Yonts repeatedly denied Hakimi's claims.
"There have been claims of being dropped on a mountain wearing red clothes, there have been claims of being beheaded," he said. But "there was no indication supporting the claims. ... This individual was never in custody, he was never defamed or disgraced."

No surprise there YBP, the Lie is the most powerful weapon of modern war. Propaganda has always been valuable, but now that we have the ability to ditribute information around the globe instantly, it has become the first strike weapon of choice. Of course, the means of delivery, mass media and the internet, have to be monopolized by the propagandists in order for the Lie to be effective, and monopolization of information is sharing an apartment with the dodo bird. In this modern age, where every pajama-clad soccer mom and combat soldier, and everyone in between, can have a blog, the Lie is like a water balloon thrown at a castle, it bursts on impact and only causes a temporary wet spot which soon dries and fades. Of course we have the Chicken Littles like little Marky Zuniga and his sycophants who believe the water balloons are really dangerous, and run around screaming that we should not provoke the balloon tossers, but they are ultimately inconsequential as everyone who is initially shocked by their rantings eventually figures out that the sky is not falling.
The real problem lies in the fact that there are massive flocks of Chicken Littles whose hysterical rants continue, 24/7, unabated by reality and who are insensible to reason or logic. These are the people who live in perpetual fear that the climate is going to cook us, the the Jews are going to enslave us, and the Eeeeevil Republicans are going to make us behave as responsible adults. For them, the sky never ceases plunging toward them, the Hour of Doom is forever at hand, and the only thing to do is join hands and sing Kumbayah. Most ironic of all their absurdities though is the fact that they don't see, or can't see, or won't see, the very real dangers that inhabit our world and threaten us constantly, dangers that are very real, very quantifiable, and very much defensible against if only we weren't so distracted by the latest hysterical ravings regarding the sky hurtling downward to crush us.
There is hope though; as free access to information spreads across the globe, like the sun breaking through a fog, people are becoming aware. The Chicken Littles now have the ability to let everyone who has access to a computer or cable TV know that the sky is falling, but people also now have the ability to Google "sky falling", and instantly find all the information they could possibly need regarding such impending catastrophe and the lack of certainty pertaining thereunto. Of course there is a large worldwide community of Chicken Littles, and they go to great lengths to support one another's predictions, but most people in the world are sane and smart enough to be able to eventually figure out that it isn't the sky to watch, but the screaming idiots who build bombs with which to kill innocent people. Let them cackle, but ignore them when you can, and make Chicken Little soup when necessary.

About that propaganda thing being the first strike weapon of choice. Consider this:

Just a small point Rusty, you may want to capitalize SEAL in your headline to diferentiate from the sea-mammal.

YBP and IM have brought up a very important and touching point. The families of those murdered.
Imagine seeing your son on a video tape. Not killed in battle. But slaughtered by the lowest form of humanity.
If my son dies in battle I'm going to cry.
If my son is captured and slaughtered I'm going on a raghead hunt that the world will hear about. I will be a indescrimate as they.

First in answer to YBP: The US will not only survive, but it will be stronger for it. Utopian idealism is fine, but we still live in the real world, where savages eternally wait just outside the light of civilization, looking to waylay innocent people. Once we have exterminated the vermin, the US will be a good place for decent people to live again.
Second, to greyrooster: Let me know before you start your safari.

Thanks, IM. Hiope you are right. Again, I see these political battles as overt signs of spiritual ones (i.e., good vs. evil, as St. Paul says). However we see it, the end result is the same--Islam is BAD for everyone.

My son is a SERE Airforce Staff Seargent. He will be leaving for Afghanistan on Wednesday July 20th, 2005. Please pray for his safe return. He volunteered to go without knowing where he would be sent. I pray for all our servicemen and women who put their lives on the line for our freedom and the freedom of others.

If those Taliban fellows want to go jihad and collect their bounty of virgins, let's not stand in their way. Help every one that you can to realize his dream. Send one to Alah today. A jihad is a terrible thing to waste. Shalom

A few words on comments.
Well I have been arguing with myself for a couple days about this. As many of you are aware Mike Pechar hit a home run on the London bombings the other day. He had more trackbacks than a dog has fleas. Also he was drawing comments from the world over at an astonishing rate. Well that was until a couple comments seemed to slow many others down or drive them away all together. IÂ’m really trying hard to say this in fair and unbiased manner. So if I piss anyone off I just want to say up front that is not my intention. I hope that we can all enjoy the web site and have our comments read by the widest possible audience.
I noted that the thread was accumulating comments left and right. We were picking up new readers. All our statements and comments were being read not only by regulars here but also potential new readers as well. People from all over the world. Then came the insults to the queen and the profanity. Personally I thought that the insults the queen were particularly in bad taste considering the events of the day. After that it became the Greg and Carlos show. Other comments especially from new readers seemed to vanish. I think MikeÂ’s thread could have easily went over two hundred comments had we just thought about it for a few more seconds before we hit that post button. See not only did Mike loose readers so did you. I know several of you like to go around and piss on every post like a dog on patrol. That is fine and dandy with me. For the most part I enjoy most of it. If you would just take a couple minutes to consider what thread you are on and also that you are shitting in your own nest. You not only drive off MikeÂ’s readers, which was totally unfair to him. You also drive off readers of your own comments and ideas.
IÂ’m not really into banning and if you think that deleting comments is that hard IÂ’m sure I can figure it out should I choose to. I have pretty much free rein as far as permissions go. And itÂ’s mostly a matter of point and click and taking the time to do so. All I ask is that you consider the thread and if you want to piss all over one choose an appropriate thread. Any thread is OK with me after the other comments have died out a bit but this one was still pretty active. Like I say you not only drove off MikeÂ’s readers but yours as well. I see you guys out here every day and I know and understand what is jest and what is not(well at least some days). But other readers especially on a day when we have the potential to grow our audience are not used to that and may be quickly put off.
So this is just some friendly advice. Carlos and Greg are just the examples of the day and are by no means the only ones. In fact they come up with some really good stuff some days. I think a lot of people come here just to read the arguments and your comments are welcome on my threads and appreciated. Characters like Greg that people love to hate draw an audience to a certain extent. IÂ’m not sure where the line should be but I think we may have crossed over it the other day. So IÂ’m not trying to pick on you guys itÂ’s just that on that day you happened to be the ones I noticed. Also YBP seems to have a pretty good sense of what is a little too much and I appreciate his attempt to bring order to the thread.
For any new readers itÂ’s just that way and you may have to overlook a few things but donÂ’t let it discourage you from posting a comment. Just ignore it if you can. Should you confront them, that is just more encouragement for them. They are pretty good at arguing so you may loose that fight. Well thatÂ’s all the preaching I have in me for today. IÂ’m sure Rusty will have his own opinion about this. I really donÂ’t know what that will be he is pretty tolerant as I am. Just a few more seconds of thought and all of us could have picked up more readers for all the authors and also the commentators. Radical statements do get attention both good and bad and I see that some of you make them just to get notice. Be careful that you attract readers and donÂ’t drive them off. ItÂ’s a thin line for sure and walking it is difficult, try not to get too carried away. I thought about addressing each of you on a personal level by email. So please by all means feel free to email me or post your dissent or agreement below.
And YÂ’all have a good one.

No offense, but you may want to use spell check. "To loose" means to unbind or let loose; it is not the opposite of "to win".
Also, some advice to the rest of you lot: engaging in colorful anatomical imagery may be good for a few laughs among the locker room set, but these are trying times and innocent lives are at stake, so how about a greater emphasis on facts and logic, and leave the nightmarish raving to the real lunatics out there.

Howie, forgive me for this.
Greg: This will be the last time I ever address you for it is completely useless to try to get you to embrace common sense or even adhere to simple facts. You can try to be "civil" all you want - the lies and misinformation and conspiracies you promote are still what they are. You cannot hide your true character behind a façade of civility. I don't know if you suffer from acute paranoia or complete naïveté, furthermore, I don't care anymore. I'm finished with you.

Now Carlos: For months you have had me beating my head on the wall every time you engage in dialogue with the two legged prick Greg. Stop wasteing your intellect on garbage. Sometimes I think you believe you can save assholes like Greg. You can't. Put that energy and intelligence to better use. The Gregs, Colon Babelers and such are not worth conversing with.
This Blog has come to a point where we can begin coming up with solutions. Maybe someone will listen if we come up with something of value.
Anyway. I hope you get my point. I will support any patriot like yourself even if you don't get my point.

Personally, I don't trust you as a good American. So piss on ya. Grow up and try again because in reality if you aren't with us your against us.

Police hunt 'mercenary' terror gang recruited by al-Qa'ida
Police and intelligence agents are investigating the theory that a gang of white "mercenary terrorists" was hired by al-Qa'ida to carry out last week's devastating attacks on London.
Translation: "The witnesses all saw white guys placing the bombs, so we gotta figure out a story by which we can keep the blame on them Aye-rhabs. With over 6000 video cameras monitoring the subway system, there are no pictures of Aye-rhabs with bombs. It follows that the Aye-rhabs must have recruited Englishmen for this attack. Yeah, that's the story, wink, wink, nudge, nudge!"

Power told the host that at the exact same time that the London bombings were taking place, his company was running a 1,000 person strong exercise which drilled the London Underground being bombed at the exact same locations, at the exact same times, as happened in real life.
The transcript is as follows.
POWER: At half past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing up right now.
HOST: To get this quite straight, you were running an exercise to see how you would cope with this and it happened while you were running the exercise?
POWER: Precisely, and it was about half past nine this morning, we planned this for a company and for obvious reasons I don't want to reveal their name but they're listening and they'll know it. And we had a room full of crisis managers for the first time they'd met and so within five minutes we made a pretty rapid decision that this is the real one and so we went through the correct drills of activating crisis management procedures to jump from slow time to quick time thinking and so on.
The fact that the exercise mirrored the exact locations and times of the bombings is light years beyond a coincidence. Power said the drill focused around 'simultaneous bombings'. At first the bombings were thought to have been spread over an hour, but the BBC reports just today that the bombings were in fact simultaneous.
Mr. Power and Visor Consultants need not have been 'in on the bombing' or anything of that nature for this to be of importance. The British government or one of their private company offshoots could have hired Visor to run the exercise for a number of purposes.
The exercise fulfils several different goals. It acts as a cover for the small compartamentalized government terrorists to carry out their operation without the larger security services becoming aware of what they're doing, and, more importantly, if they get caught during the attack or after with any incriminating evidence they can just claim that they were just taking part in the exercise.
This is precisely what happened on the morning of 9/11/2001. The CIA was conducting drills of flying hijacked planes into the WTC and Pentagon at 8:30 in the morning.
It is clear that at least five if not six training exercises were in operation in the days leading up to and on the morning of 9/11. This meant that NORAD radar screens showed as many as 22 hijacked airliners at the same time. NORAD had been briefed that this was part of the exercise drill and therefore normal reactive procedure was forestalled and delayed.
The large numbers of 'blips' on NORAD screens that displayed both real and 'drill' hijacked planes explain why confused press reports emerged hours after the attack stating that up to eight planes had been hijacked.

Terror Expert Backs Up Claim Of Netanyahu Warning Before First Blast
Action News 36 | July 09 2005
Terrorism expert Tommy Preston of Preston Global in Frankfort, Kentucky, said sources in the intelligence community reported that at least one person in London, England was warned of Thursday morning's terrorist attacks moments before the initial blast. Preston, citing sources in the intelligence community, said former Israeli Prime Minister and current Finance Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was in London this morning for an economic forum. "Just before the first blast, Netanyahu got a call from the Israeli Embassy telling him to stay in his hotel room. The hotel is located next to the subway station where the first attack occurred and he did stay put and shortly after that, there was the explosion," Preston said.

Howie:
This is a blog where the entire format is an insulting spoof of arab muslims using dorky little star wars characters and analogies. The bombing, to say the very least, is an event that will draw out powerful emotions in people...and given these two facts, you are requesting some sort of civil discourse in the commentary?
What did you expect?

Well by golly I'm convinced! Who could imagine that the world's best intel agency might have gotten evidence that gave them reason to suspect a possible terrorist attack? Nah, we all know it was da Jooooooooos what did it, same as they attacked the Germans, same as they started the Six Day War, same as they started the Yom Kippur war, same as they hijacked all those planes, same as they kidnapped all those people, same as they set off all those suicide bombs, same as they blew up the WTC..., no wait, those were all done by nazis and islamofascists.

People like Greg make blogs hard reading.
A blog's main advantage over news groups is that each one that allows comments is, effectively, a moderated news group. Better to start an "alt" group than not trim out the trolls and idiots. At least we can killfile people in usenet.
Do you know if a comment's author could be listed at the top of a comment so we know who it is from so we can just jump over the ones we do not want to read?
I don't know anything about RSS. Does it allow a killfile function?

"Blair rejects calls for probe into bombings
Tony Blair will on Monday reject Conservative demands for a government inquiry into last week's London bomb attacks, insisting such a move would distract from the task of catching the perpetrators.
As police and security services continued searching for the bombers - thought to be Islamist terrorists - Downing Street said the prime minister believed an inquiry now into the outrage which killed at least 49 people would be a "ludicrous diversion." "
Absolutely incredible! Got something to hide Tony?
As I recall, Bush didn't want a 9-11 investigation either. When he finally asceded, the investigation was a sham.

I posted a comment on 7/7 I needed to get the anger out of my system. I was confronted with vile references to my Queen. I have not visited this site since, until now. I'm very pleased this has been observed. However, the owner of this site would be pleased to know, that a person from the Times newspaper here in the UK on Saturday 9th July, had been trawling the internet for world-wide responses to the attacks in London. I was very pleased to have discovered that my comment that I made on this site was put into print on the time and date stated in the Times. So you see, you may not have lost people who would like to contribute to the themes and topics you provide on here.

Thankyou for your comments guy's or gal's. But of course, I am not sleeping. I know the vast majority of decent Americans are and will stand "shoulder to shoulder" with us during this time.
Life is full of risk. When I was growing up in London, there were frequent IRA bomb attacks. I walked out of Harrods just five minutes before that notorious bomb exploded. But it didn't get me. Indeed, the chances of terrorists getting me - or any other individual living in London are still minuscule. Millions of us use the Tube every day and emerge unscathed. That can, of course, be no consolation to those who were caught up in Thurday's attacks and to their family and friends. But those of us who were not hurt must not allow the terrorists' to "get" us psychologically too.
A terrorist organisation such as al-Qaeda calculates that, say, forty deaths can cause ten million people to live in fear, to cease to use the Tube, to think about moving out of London altogether. If true, that is a very effective hit rate. But it depends crucially on us fulfilling the role they have designed for us. We don't have to. We can show the terrorists - after all we did it to the Germans in the Second World War - that we won't let their bombs change our way of life. We don't have to be cowed. We can choose instead to be proud of our courage in the face of adversity, and of our determination to carry on our lives regardless. That is the true British spirit.
Last week an Islamist website linked to al-Qaeda claimed that "Britain is burning with fear". Let us not give them the satisfaction of believing that. Let's get back on the Tube, back on the buses and back on the streets. Britain deserves no less.

Latest from Howie
I thought this post by Dean Esmay was pretty good. At the top of his site it says “Defending the liberal tradition in history, science, and philosophy”. If he is liberal he certainly is not your typical militant liberal as he really has it in for dailykos. Who apparently did a mass banning. I also note Dean does not link our site. He might get a few bad comments here but I really think it’s worth the read. I also note he supports the war effort.
Carping that strategy X is "failing" is a child's game. Grownups analyze and say, "Okay, maybe strategy X isn't perfect... but can I name a better strategy?" If you can't, then, quite seriously, all you're doing is being a defeatist--and, in this case, acting as an apologist for fascists.
I noted that Dean wasnÂ’t getting many trackbacks to his position on this issue from other liberals or anyone for that matter. IÂ’ll give him one.
Related chain of posts.
Interesting huh?
You know I really donÂ’t care much about a personÂ’s political leanings. Stupid has to be the greatest enemy. Followed closely by apathy. When it comes to the war we canÂ’t afford political childishness. I was worried that we had forgotten this is a war and started playing the same games we play with other issues. But I guess we all got a big reminder this week didnÂ’t we. LetÂ’s not slip back there again. WeÂ’ve got to push on because at least one commentator here I know worries about his child having to fight. I hope he doesnÂ’t have to and there are people working very hard right now to make sure he doesnÂ’t. I work with a gentleman, his son is in his fourth month of a 12 month tour in Afghanistan. People are fighting and dying every day. Too much mercy on the enemy is cruel to everyone including them. It prolongs the war for everyone. We can sort that out after we win which we will after much struggle and heartache. Will it be worth it? Well only time will tell us that one but the fight is in progress NOW.
Also Michelle points out some bad comments made on NPR. I listen all the time. If fact I'm wearing my WKMS tee shirt right now. IÂ’ve especially enjoyed liberals stuttering along the last few days. Shields on the News Hour last night was especially having a tough time. It was great. They all want to say see I told you we would be attacked. But the lack of sophistication of the London attack shows the weakness of the terrorists. Primitive at best and possibly carried out by just a few people. I dare to say maybe even just one. While a success it was at best a limited one. I donÂ’t want to get too cocky here though it also demonstrates a danger. More and larger attacks are possible in my opinion. Not to belittle the suffering and my gratitude for EnglandÂ’s support, but it could have been much worse. Some are saying how sophisticated. Well they were just bombs and timers. In my opinion if you have the stuff it doesn't take a rocket scientist. I wish ABC would stop it with the fear mongering.

My only response is this (hehehe):
July 8, 2005 | Istanbul, Turkey -- First one sheep jumped to its death. Then stunned Turkish shepherds, who had left the herd to graze while they had breakfast, watched as nearly 1,500 others followed, each leaping off the same cliff, Turkish media reported.
In the end, 450 dead animals lay on top of one another in a billowy white pile, the Aksam newspaper said. Those who jumped later were saved as the pile got higher and the fall more cushioned, Aksam reported.
"There's nothing we can do. They're all wasted," Nevzat Bayhan, a member of one of 26 families whose sheep were grazing together in the herd, was quoted as saying by Aksam.
The estimated loss to families in the town of Gevas, located in Van province in eastern Turkey, tops $100,000, a significant amount of money in a country where average GDP per head is around $2,700.
"Every family had an average of 20 sheep," Aksam quoted another villager, Abdullah Hazar as saying. "But now only a few families have sheep left. It's going to be hard for us."

This is off topic, but I think it may interest you. Condit is running for US Congressman in a special election in Ohio.
I didn't make this up, I simply am reporting the news. I wonder how long it will take for this guy to get capped.
The following are two of Condit's ads that he has planned. These ads will be short and run several times a day, if everything goes well, and will mention the one-hour radio shows that he's planned to hit the airwaves soon. His ad called "Phase II of 9-11" reads as follows:
"The 9-11 terror attacks against the World Trade Towers in 2001 were a pre-planned operation to kick off World War III -- perpetrated by evil factions, hiding within U.S. military intelligence, who are secretly loyal to Israel and the organized Jewish lobby. Arab patsies were set up as the Lee Harvey Oswalds of 9-11, to be framed on cue by the Jewish-controlled TV networks. Phase 1 of 9-11 was to trick Americans into supporting attacks on Arab countries, and to get U.S. soldiers stationed PERMANENTLY near Israel. THAT is why U.S. troops are kept in Iraq now -- nothing to do with the interests of the USA. The SECOND HORRIBLE TERRORIST ATTACK, if they can get away with it, will be to start a draft of our children, to attack other Arab countries, and to trick us into giving up our constitutional freedoms. Listen to our full hour radio show Sunday night at 10 PM on 550 AM WKRC, and for info and hope, go to www.realnews247.com . Paid for by Jim Condit Jr. for Congress 2005."
You can see why the Israel-firsters would be fearful of a message like this, as it makes people think. Of course, Condit is not new to controversy: Previous messages he has run while campaigning have said similar things, as well as highlighting the plight of the U.S.S. Liberty victims -- Americans who were murdered by Israel, while our government stood by and did nothing. Condit's other radio ads have sent shock waves across the land. But now he is running for the only vacant seat in the land, and his message will be heard louder than ever!
Condit's other ad, which will be run alternately and is called "Spread the Word," goes like this:
"I have one minute to ask you to consider disbelieving the dangerous, war-mongering Jewish lobby propaganda you're hearing the other 24 hours a day and 52 weeks a year on the big TV Networks and radio stations. The other spot we're running tells you why our nation's greatest enemy, the domestic Jewish Lobby, is trying to keep our American soldiers dying for their evil agenda in the Mideast for DECADES to come. There are at least ten more important messages for you to hear or read at www.realnews247.com. Use the 'tell a friend' option at www.realnews247.com to alert your contacts nationwide about this suppressed information, and what we can all do about it. Listen to our full hour radio show Sunday night at 10 PM on 550 AM, WKRC. For info and hope, go to www.realnews247.com. Paid for by Jim Condit Jr. for Congress 2005."

IM, I heard the only ones who survived were the ones wearing tinfoil hats.
Greg...if that's for real I wouldn't be surprised if those ads get a lot of attention. Or maybe not, if you believe Jews control mass media. So Greg, do you actually have something against Jewish people? I've heard people in here call you a anti-Semite. I'm not Jewish, so I don't claim to have knowledge of their culture...I'm on a tangent. Just answer my question! Haha.

I've been reading Dean a long time. He may be a "liberal", but he's no leftist, and he damn sure isn't a socialist.

My liberalism is of the classic variety, meaning open-minded and open to hearing multiple points of view and ideas for reform. It does not mean "I have holes in my head" or "when something bad happens, I don't immediately wonder what America did wrong."
In any case, all real liberals hate fascists and don't make excuses for them.
As for whether I'm a socialist: gosh, well, I think we should have national health insurance, I think paying for education is a duty of the state, I favor gay marriage, and I take a very dim view of large corporations. So you decide what that makes me.
Just don't ever take me for a fascist apologist or an America-hater.

Mr. Greg is a great man and this Condit sounds like a Congressman the Great Leader would support.
Remember our duty to the Great leader you Yankee Imperialist Dogs who lick the boots of the Mossad:
Comrades are in an explosion of revolutionary upsurge, vowing to uphold the Dear Leader's Songun politics with their lives and closing steel-strong ranks around him pledging to protect him from criminal US imperialist bellicose aggression with the impenetrable wall of their flesh, and defeat the villainous Yankees with the invincible weapon of single-minded unity in love and respect for the Dear Leader Comrade Generalissimo Kim Jong Il the invincible strategist
I think Mr.Greg should run for President.

Osama:'So Greg, do you actually have something against Jewish people? '
Osama,
Absolutely not. Two of my life long friends are Jewish, although I think the last time they went to Temple was on their Barmitzva (sp?). I attended both.
I resent the relationship that the US has with Israel. That doesn't make me an anti-Semite, nor does it make me anti-American.
AIPAC is the most powerful lobby in the world. I guarantee that all of your Congressmen have been paid off by AIPAC. As a result, we adopt policies that are counter to our own interests.

Don't worry Dean, we know you are one of the good guys, even though you hold different opinions on various social issues than do most of us, but that's the greatest thing about America; people with divergent views can come together at need. I am socially about 179° different from you but that's okay, we both love our country and put the interests of Liberty above personal differences, and that's what matters to me, because issues such as gay marriage, global warming, etc., don't matter one whit as long as there are islamofascists building bombs and plotting murder. As I like to say, only an idiot wants to argue about the color of the drapes when the house is on fire.

Aftermath of London bombing the search is on.
Late night for me. Though I'd get a post started.
Here is a link to eyewitness accounts from the BBC. There is some good first hand accounts of what happened. Pictures, videos and interviews too.
I see at the present time the BBC still has 37 or 38 dead 700 wounded. It will probably rise maybe a bit more.
Also the BBC has a link to staff reporter updates that looks frequently updated.
"Emergency services are continuing to help the injured after several explosions on the London Underground Tube network this morning, and on a bus in central London. BBC News correspondents are on the ground with the latest details."
Another new BBC link 10:00 at 4am in UK CDT.
ABCNEWS has update that says timing devices or parts thereof have been found.
As I listened to reports and comments from England today I was struck by the “stiff upper lip”. Old women, men, women just chatting away like the air hadn’t just been sucked right out of that Olympic bid.
And on a theme from comments from an earlier thread.
May God save the Queen!!!!
Really try out those BBC links they get up way earlier than we do and IÂ’m sure England will be humming right along. IÂ’ll check back at about 5:00 am CDT and see what is happening. Things look pretty quiet for the moment. The recovery and investigation seems well underway.
I am missing Rusty arenÂ’t you guys? Guest posters welcome.

Honor the Dead
HereÂ’s a comment I just posted to Dan Darling over at Winds of Change.
*****
We must kick the enemyÂ’s butt and right now! We must stay focused, our heads in the game, and keep our eye on the ball.
We must ignore the shots of the detractors from the bleachers.
We must win this war.
See my two cents worth in this thread over at Roger L. SimonÂ’s:

My thoughts are with the families of those who died and those people who are injured.
I hope 4 of the dead were suicide bombers and that the ones they took with them are.....well, the evil scum won't be having a good time with us Brits. We will soon be back to our usual pragmatic selves, no holding us down, we won't cower to these pieces of pig sh*t.
We have a superb police force who will get the swine who did this, hopefully they will kill themselves before they are captured and save us the bother of a trial and the expense of incarcerating them.

if the British could survive months of bombings during the Blitz in WWII by the Luftwaffe they can easily survive this terrorist bombing....they will pick up the pieces and move forward....the generations living there now might not be as tough as those during WWII but they will survive and kick the asses of those responsible for this cowardly act against the civilians of London

This attack is not as the Lefties like to say a result of the War in Iraq. If you remember there were several attacks from 1998 on up to our involvement in Iraq. 9/11 was well before we went back to finish what was started in Iraq. Even if it was about Iraq it is sickening to me that the Leftists will use that as an excuse for the terrorists killing innocent civilians.

Howie's roundup London, Seal and Orange alert
Well I don't really want to update Mike Pechar's post so I will start one of my own. I will add a few links below to a couple other stories going on today. Also below the break I will post various quotes and comments I have collected up so far today. I may update this thread later and Mike if you feel the need update your post as well.
The Taliban claims it is holding the last missing Navy Seal. While I hope he is safe and will return it appears doubtfull at this time. Let's keep him and his family in our prayers. One look at the news this AM and you see what is likely to happen.
Orange alert for Mass Transit in USA.
The latest death toll in London Ranges from 33 to 40 killed 390 to 1000 injured. I have several links I have been watching today I will list them below the break along with quotes and stuff. I just want to say my heart goes out to London and all of Britain. Mike Pechar's thread below seems to be getting a lot of comments. I noticed Mike stopped updating that one and moved on. So where ever you would like to put yours go ahead.
UPDATED:
NPR just reported that Egypt has confirmed the death of it's top diplomat in Iraq.
Also ABCNEWS is reporting two unexploded bombs were found in London.
Breaking News from ABCNEWS.com:
"ABC NEWS HAS LEARNED BRITISH OFFICIALS TOLD U.S. LAW ENFORCEMENT THEY RECOVERED TWO UNEXPLODED BOMBS IN LONDON

No mercy I say. Time to clean up by starting with the humane disposal of all those detained for terrorism. I say humane because that is the difference between us and them. They are savages who use the blunt sword rather than the lethal injection. We cannot reason with such people and they would not treat us so kindly if the situation was reversed.

This from the media:
"In Islamist Internet chatrooms, several users welcomed the bloodshed in London. 'To those surprised by the killing of Americans and Britons in their countries, weren't you shocked by the killing of women and children in Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan? As they kill us, we should kill them,' one said."

YBP, I know you are right about that. ThatÂ’s why I thought we should return a dead terrorist to them. Perhaps pull that little Walker turd out of jail and send his corpse back to Afghanistan.
Oh, I forgot, these killers and terrorists in Gitmo and the Walker traitor are a protected class. Sort of a new democratic constituency.

5 Suspected American Traitors Nabbed in Iraq
Update 7/09 (Chad):
Scratch one traitor off of Rusty's list. The lawyer for film-maker Cyrus Kar indicates his client
will be released.
If true, send them to the firing squad. Could the American suspected of involvement in a kidnapping be Mohammed Monaf? Mohammed Monaf has been indicted in Romania for alleged involvement in the kidnapping of 3 Romanian journalists. Developing.....WAPO:
The U.S. military is holding five U.S. citizens suspected of insurgent activities in Iraq, a Pentagon spokesman said Wednesday.
They were captured separately and don't appear to have ties to one another, spokesman Bryan Whitman said. He declined to identify them, citing a Pentagon policy that prohibits identification of detainees.
Three of those being detained are Iraqi-Americans; another is an Iranian-American; the fifth is a Jordanian-American, Whitman said. The three Iraqi-Americans were captured in April, May and June, officials said. The Iranian-American was captured May 17, one official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the cases.
One of the Iraqi-Americans allegedly had knowledge of planning for an attack, and another was possibly involved in a kidnapping, Whitman said. The third was "engaged in suspicious activity," he said, declining to be more specific.
Whitman said the Iranian-American was captured with several dozen washing machine timers in his car-- items that can be used as components in bombs.
In Los Angeles, relatives identified him as Cyrus Kar, 44, a U.S. Navy veteran who lives in that city. He was in Iraq to film scenes for a documentary on King Cyrus the Great, founder of Persia, when he was arrested at a checkpoint in Baghdad in mid-May, his family said. They also said he has been cleared of wrongdoing and there is no legal authority for his detention.
They said he called them on May 24 and said he had been detained because of a misunderstanding involving a taxi driver who had been driving Kar and his cameraman around Baghdad. Kar was born in Iran but came to the United States when he was a child, according to reports in the Los Angeles Times and The New York Times.
The Jordanian-American was captured in a raid late last year and is suspected of high-level ties to Abu Musab Zarqawi, the Jordanian terrorist and leading al-Qaida ally in Iraq. Officials announced his capture in March.
All five are in custody at one of the three U.S.-run prisons in Iraq-- Abu Ghraib, Camp Bucca or Camp Cropper, Whitman said, declining to provide their precise location. The International Committee of the Red Cross has had access to all five prisoners, Whitman said.
A panel of three U.S. officers rules on whether each prisoner is properly held; that has already taken place for the Jordanian-American. Whitman did not say whether the three Iraqi-Americans or the Iranian-American have been through this process.
I second
Eugene Volokh, this is real treason. And
Jay Tea's earlier post could not have been a more timely discussion of the misuse of the term treason.
UPDATE I: More on Cyrus Kar from Mercury News:
An Iranian-born U.S. citizen and Navy veteran was detained in Iraq by American forces after troops said they found a common component for improvised explosive devices in his taxi, according to U.S. defense officials.
His family says Cyrus Kar, 44, was in Iraq to film scenes for a documentary on King Cyrus the Great, founder of Persia, when he was arrested at a checkpoint in mid-May. He had also filmed in Iran, Tajikistan, Turkey and Afghanistan and consulted with scholars, they said.
Kar's family first learned of his troubles May 24, when he called them to say he had been detained because of a misunderstanding involving a taxi driver who had been driving Kar and his cameraman around Baghdad. They last heard from him on June 28.
The Defense Department confirmed to both the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times that Kar, who lives in the Silver Lake area of Los Angeles, was in U.S. military detention outside Baghdad. He has not been charged with a crime and will have a hearing to determine whether he is a security threat, a Pentagon spokesman said.
Kar's relatives, however, told both papers that Los Angeles FBI Agent John D. Wilson told them weeks ago that Kar's story had checked out, that he had passed a government polygraph test and that he had been cleared of any charges.
Unfortunately, lie detectors are almost never used to clear any one of any crime. They are often used on suspects and as ground for further investigation, but rarely are they used to release some one already in custody. Further, Kar is in a war zone, not exactly the type of place the FBI runs around talking to criminals and trying to get a judge to issue an indictment. The FBI is a
police force. I find it somewhat hard to believe that the FBI is in Iraq interrogating suspected insurgents.
"He's cleared," one of Kar's aunts, Parvin Modarress, quoted Wilson as saying, according to the New York Times. "They were waiting for a lie-detector machine, but they finally got it. He passed the lie-detector test."
Wilson told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday that he had met with the women but said he could not speak further. Cathy Viray, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles FBI office, said she could not comment on the matter.
Frustrated, Kar's relatives plan to file a federal lawsuit in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday that challenges Kar's continued detention in Iraq. The American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California and other civil liberties lawyers are representing Kar, Modarress and Kar's cousin, Shahrzad Folger, against President Bush, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and Army Maj. William H. Brandenburg, overseer of military detention operations in Baghdad.
"Mr. Kar is now imprisoned by the United States military in Iraq without the slightest hint of legal authority," said Mark D. Rosenbaum, the ACLU's Southern California legal director.
Possibly the most assinine thing ever to come out of the mouth of an ACLU spokesmen. Seriously, does the U.S. military now need to get an arrest warrant to prosecute military actions in the eyes of the ACLU?
"His arbitrary military detention is unaccompanied by any charge, any warrant, any writ or any process. So far as either the civilian or the military court system is concerned, Mr. Kar has simply disappeared into detention without a trace."
I don't know if Kar is guilty of treason, but surely the ACLU is not trying to argue that a man captured in a war zone in a foreign country ought to have the legal protection of U.S. courts? Oh, wait, that's exactly what they are saying.
Trackbacks are iffy today. Sorry. Try resending later if first attempt fails.

It they took the
oath to become US Citizens, then they are clearly traitors and should be treated as such. If they are using false passports, then they are foreign members of an extranational terrorist organization whose activities are criminal and who are not protected by the Geneva Conventions. In either case, using them for target practice might be a good way to help train some of those badly needed Iraqi border guards.

The FBI is a bureaucracy and goes where the money is. If there is the slightest chance that a bigger slice of the federal pie may be found in Iraq, the FBI is there.

There have been lots of American Muslims over there fighting against us since 01. The only one you have heard a lot about is Johnny Walker and that is only because he killed (or assisted in the killing of) John Spaim a former Jarhead CIA operative. Trust me there are hundreds of American Muslims over there fighting us.
Like Johnny Walker these guys will get a few years in jail. Johnny's rich folks (dad is #2 or #3 lawyer at PG+E) are complaining that he's being treated like he was at Gitmo(which he is not). It actually got up to 79 in his cell one day this Spring. Torture!

Of course, we don't want to lose sight of "due process" and all that. First we try 'em, then we hang 'em. And, since they're such big believers in the Moslem way, hanging them the "American" way just wouldn't be right. I like the Taliban technique in this case: Tie ropes around their necks and lift the ropes with cranes, just far enough that their feet don't quite reach the ground anymore. I mean, they say a dieing man wants ten more minutes, right? Surely those 72 raisins can wait that long.

Yes...you are the one who has it wrong. These bastards would love to butcher an infidel like you so don't waste your time sympathising for them. All the US is doing is finishing what the crusaders started 800 years ago...wiping the filth of Islam from the face of the planet before it f**ks us all.

>>>"Hell, I'm a Westerner and I support the freedom fighter in Iraq."
That wouldn't stop them from lovingly stroking your skinny little Leftist neck with a dull blade till you squealed like a stuck pig. I can only relish the thought.

Brad opined:
“cowardly white christian fucks”
"IM, I know this doesnÂ’t bother you, but as a white Christian, IÂ’m a little offended.
It sounds a little insensitive to me."
The reason it doesn't bother me is because it's the worst the dickless little shit can do. It's like a poodle barking at a bulldog, he is "...full of sound and fury, as a speech made by idiots, signifying nothing...".
Don't let is rankle you, one day soon, very soon, they will fuck up monumentally, and the gloves will come off. Then I will collect their ears to hang around my neck on a cord, and their empty skulls to decorate my fenceposts. The vultures and flies will attend the leftovers. It will be a good day.
Did I mention that I'm a complete bastard to people I don't like? And I don't like whiny little gutless liberal nancy-boys.

Jim snivelled:
"You just showed the level of your intelligence by such a prepubescent comment! Not only did you succeed in making yourself look like the bitch, you insulted those who are classified as retarded by being insensitive to their plight!
sick sick sick... seek help!"
Let's see what the Universal Whiny Liberal Moonbat Translator 2000™ makes of that... working, working, got it!
"WAH! WAH! WAH! WAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Funny, I was sure there'd be something about the Joooooooooos in there, and Black Helicopters and HALLIBURTON!!! I think it needs calibrated. Well, looks like it's time to go grab one of the slimy little shits from the local coffee shop so I can establish a baseline. Damned messy procedure, what with all the excreting they do when you make them watch patriotic videos for three days straight, and then I have to bribe the garbage man to take extra bags and all. Jesus H. Christ liberals are a lot of trouble. Maybe they should all go and get with Zarqawi's "freedom fighters" and save us all the trouble!

Hi There,
I read some of the comments and just had to clarify a few things:
1) Cyrus Kar is a loyal, American veteran that grew up in the US and learned English as his first language (not that it should matter).
2) He's not Muslim (again, not that it matters).
3) He is being detained bc a washing machine timer was found in the taxi he was riding in. Imagine if everyone got arrested every time there was something illegal in the taxi they were in.
4) The FBI was assisting the military on the investigation. That is why the FBI cleared Kar. The military wouldn't acknowledge that he was even in their custody, so the family never knew if the military cleared him. In fact, the news articles are the first time the Pentagon even admitted they had him in custody.
5) Cyrus Kar sleeps every night under an American flag, when he is not being held indefinitely in Iraq by his own military for no reason.
6) Cyrus Kar is actually a supporter of Bush's foreign policy, the War on Terror, and the war in Iraq (although we'll see if he's changed his opinion after what he's been through).
Just thought I would let you all know the truth.

We wouldn't be having this (American) problem if we quit making these enemies of America Americans.
No more muslims in America. Cast them out. Begone ragheads.

Yes: You are a simple minded shit. Nothing more. Go ahead and support those who only act as cowards. Birds of a feather.
For me, not being as stupid as you, I recall the 3000 people slaughtered at the World Trade Center was before Iraq. Your cowardly friends attacked us first. They killed women, children and others who had nothing to do with politics or religion.
You probably support them because you are as cowardly as them.
May the raghead, filthy goat who mated with your whoreing mother stick one in you to.
You are shit. Nothing more and you know it.

Farwurks & Chicklets WTW
Well I must say it’s been one heck of a week, lots of stuff going on. Me and the boy let off fireworks till we looked like a couple of coal miners on Sunday night. The big ones got rained out on the fourth. We drove over anyway like “ye reckon it’ll quiyut”. But we did make some fireworks last night and they were pretty good. Picked me some blackberries last week & got some chiggers. I got to get that done so I can start a batch of wine. Still got plenty of grape left.
Well I gots me a new PC here in the office and I would just like to extend my congratulations to PC makers everywhere for this little box of chicklets they call a keyboard. Well I really donÂ’t want to point fingers but I share a name with the founder. Also a big thanks for doing away with the port that I could have plugged my old one into. I hope yÂ’all saved a Chinese nickel in plastic by screwing with the page up, page down, insert, end, & delete key. I use all those and boy does this suck.
I guess for me this week there can be no other display of behavior other than this bastard. Hanging ainÂ’t good enough and they ought to let that little girl pulls the switch and give this (I canÂ’t think of a good noun) his wish. I canÂ’t say it any better than Rusty did.
more...

We blew big holes in the dirt out back with the Mossberg. The dirt trembled with fear. It was fun.

Iraq Terrorists Join Forces
Al Jazeera reports that the Islamic Army of Iraq and the Mujahidin Army of Iraq have appointed a common spokeperson for the two groups. These two groups are active in hostage taking. It was the Islamic Army in Iraq that was responsible for the downing of a civilian helicopter in April and the subsequent videotaped murder of an unarmed and wounded Bulgarian pilot named Lyubomir Kostov [
story, images, and links to video here]. The Mujahidin Army was, up until now, thought to be associated with ex-Baathist and Arab nationalist elements. Their propganda videos tend to have high production value, are sometimes in English, and tend to cater to capturing support from elements in the West.
This may be a rhetorical question, but if the reporter for al Jazeera knew where to find the terrorist spokesman, then why is he not in U.S. or Iraqi custody now? The time is long past due that the U.S. bombs the headquarters of al Jazeera.
Two armed groups in Iraq, known for fighting US-led forces and their capture of foreigners including journalists, have appointed a joint spokesperson.
The new spokesperson for the Islamic Army in Iraq and Jaish al-Mujahidin, Dr Ibrahim Yusuf al-Shimmari, told Aljazeera that the decision comes in the context of the groups' plans to implement a political programme and be politically recognised.
"It is most appropriate for the two groups to unite and appoint a media spokesman," said al-Shimmari, "due to the escalating amount of persons who claim to speak on behalf of the resistance and adopt political projects that do not serve the resistance."
This is the first step in the implementation of the groups' plan to unite, added al-Shimmari. "Other steps will follow soon."

That might be better news than it sounds, when groups start looking to be represented in politics they may want to come to an agreements to end their fighting.
Isn't this what one of the General's was talking about? the more they kill civilians and the more they lose the support of the local population the sooner they're willing to take the political way out?

meat flavored beer. That's an idea I can support, just think of all the time it would save. I think DSM is onto something here.
