Fox Finds Lost Spine & Osama Sings!


Headlines just in:


Osama bin & Fox News


Karridine

This just in… flying pigs were sighted in the vicinity of Fox Cable News, which reported that, quote, “Hamas thugs reportedly offer conditional release of kidnapped soldier.”

Fox News, like the rest of the cable news networks, prides itself on speaking and writing in hazy, obfuscating and politically-correct euphemisms most of the time, normally reporting something like this in terms of “Hamas negotiaters reportedly offer conditional release of captured soldier,” so this is a headline surprise when Fox speaks with an honesty, clarity and courage as direct as this!

Tip of the Karriding Kepi to MSMediaCritic!

Oh!

Hold the connection… THIS just in… Osama bin Hiden releases his most recent “Love Sonnet to the American Leftist & Democrats”, carefully using taqiyyah to explain the truth behind such frank and humiliating al-Qaeda losses as the 2 elections in Iraq, Fallujah 2, the continued move from strength to strength in Iraq and Afghanistan and al-Qaeda’s loss of psychopathic THUGS like Uday, Qusay, Saddam, Zarqawiwi and Suleiman…

Yes, you can read Osama’s Democratic Talking-Points for yourself, or safely ignore them, rest assured knowing you’ve heard them already from the “Cut-and-Run Crowd” and from the KosKidz and other rational thinkers…

Celebrating the Fourth of July


Truthfully?

I am grateful for and celebrate the Fourth of July, its meaning and spirit, EVERY DAY that I am free of tyranny and bad government!

Fourth of July, Early!

"I've been listening to the debate on the Pledge of Allegiance all year

and it seems as though it is an ‘assumption’or a chore to many of you.

If I may, may I recite it and try to explain to you the meanings

of each word?"

I

me, an individual, a committee of one human

Pledge

dedicate my life and all of my worldly goods to give without self pity

Allegiance

my love and my conscious, rational devotion

To the flag

our standard, Old Glory, a symbol of freedom. Wherever

she waves, there's respect because our loyalty, courage and sacrifice

has given

her a dignity that shouts freedom is everybody's job!

United

that means that we have all come together

States of America

individual administrative entities that have united into 50 great states.

Fifty individual communities with pride and dignity and

purpose; all divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to

a common purpose, and that's love for country and for humankind.

And to the republic

a state of governance in which sovereign power is

vested in representatives chosen by the

people to govern on the peoples’ behalf. And government is the people

and it's from the people to the leaders, not from

the leaders to the people.

For which it stands, one nation

one nation, meaning "so blessed by God

from sea to shining sea"

Indivisible

incapable of being divided by freedom’s enemies,

whether foreign OR domestic!

With liberty

which is responsible, principled freedom -- the right of power to live one's

own life without threats, fear or some sort of retaliation

And Justice

the principle or quality of dealing fairly with others

For all

which means, Americans, it's as much your

country as it is mine.

***~~**~~***


Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country

and two words have been added to the pledge of Allegiance...

UNDER GOD

Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said

that is a prayer

and that would be eliminated from schools too?


God Bless America!

Haditha: Breaking News Against a 'Massacre'


Dashing Mr Murtha's fond dreams, evidence is surfacing now that (in this case, at the very least) US Marines acted in a principled, courageous and honest manner.

It doesn't change the fact that civilians, endangered by the terrorist-insurgents, were killed during the house-clearing firefight, but this NewsMax report (Tip o'the Karridine Kepi to Phil Brennan) certainly puts the lie to allegations of 'massacre'.

Factual Report: Short Version 700K

Factual Report: Full 8 Minutes 2100K


Karridine
UPDATE: June 30: This post is featured on Time's (Sphere) online roundup of Haditha discussions in the blogosphere!

http://www.sphere.com/


Graphic: 'insurgents' demonstrate irrefutable proof of their terrorist qualities, shown here burying IED explosives while accompanied by crowds of children, about whose safety they care little, and whose deaths (even if at their own hands, their own 'insurgent' explosives) they will exploit loudly for propaganda benefits!

***

The NCIS investigation is still ongoing.

In May, when Rep. John Murtha, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, appeared on "Good Morning America," he accused the Marines of K Company of killing innocent civilians "in cold blood" and said that the killings had been covered up by higher officers.

The Bargewell report has disproved that allegation, and with the NCIS investigation so far incomplete and no soldier charged with a crime, how would Murtha know?

Intelligence sources tell NewsMax the facts of the Haditha incident paint an entirely different picture from the one Murtha and others are propagating.

Military sources familiar with the incident have told NewsMax:

Within minutes of the early morning IED explosion, a firefight erupted between insurgents and Marines. Civilians were caught in the middle of the firefight. Also, although civilians did die, their deaths were the result of door-to-door combat as the Marines sought to clear houses and stop the insurgent gunfire.

Ample evidence proves that a firefight took place. For example, every second of the ensuing firefight was monitored by numerous people at company, battalion, and regimental HQs via radio communications.

Video evidence supports the Marines' claims. Within a very few minutes, battalion, regimental, and division headquarters were able to watch the action thanks to an overhead ultralight aircraft that remained aloft all day. Photos of some of the action were downloaded and in the hands of Marines and the NCIS.

Some of the insurgents involved in planning the attack and firing at Marines during a daylong engagement have been apprehended and are in custody.

Much of the story claiming what really happened in the aftermath of the IED explosion was reported by the Washington Post on June 11. NewsMax can now reveal the rest of the story about what really happened at Haditha.

In order to fully understand what happened last Nov. 19, it is important to know what kind of city Haditha is.

"We require more manpower to cover this area the way we need to," one military official told the Los Angeles Times. One Knight Ridder reporter called Haditha, a town of about 100,000 people, "an insurgent bastion," reporting that "insurgents blend in with the residents, setting up cells in their homes next to those belonging to everyday citizens, some of them supportive."

Knight Ridder said that around the time of an August attack, when a total of 20 U.S. Marines were killed in two days, "several storefronts were lined with posters and pictures supporting al-Qaida. ... "There is no functioning police station and the government offices are largely vacant. The last man to call himself mayor relinquished the title earlier this year after scores of death threats from insurgents."

According to an August 2005 story in Britain's Guardian newspaper, Haditha, under the nose of an American base, "is a miniature Taliban-like state. Insurgents decide who lives and dies, which salaries get paid, what people wear, what they watch and listen to."

When the Marines first went into the city, they were aware of the tight control insurgents exercised over Haditha. They discovered that the insurgents had freshly paved over dirt roads leading into town under the auspices of civic works projects.

They were, according to a NewsMax source, "beautiful asphalt-surfaced roads" that even included painted lines. The only problem, the source recalled, was that insurgents had laid more than 100 mega-IEDs under that asphalt. And, in order to avoid having to change batteries in the triggering devices, they had wired them into the city power lines lining the road.

It is important to remember that the so-called details of the alleged massacre came from Iraqis and residents of Haditha, a city run by insurgents who have those residents not allied with them under their bloody thumbs. (and I’m not swearing!)

In the Post story, an attorney for Staff Sgt. Frank D. Wuterich, 26, said that his client told him that several civilians were killed Nov. 19 when his squad went after insurgents who were firing at them from inside a house. He insisted there was no vengeful massacre, but he described a house-to-house hunt that went tragically awry in the middle of a chaotic battlefield.

"It will forever be his position that everything they did that day was following their rules of engagement and to protect the lives of Marines," Neal A. Puckett, who represents Wuterich in the ongoing investigations into the incident, told the Post. "He's really upset that people believe that he and his Marines are even capable of intentionally killing innocent civilians."

According to the Post, Wuterich told his attorney in initial interviews over nearly 12 hours that the shootings were the unfortunate result of a methodical sweep for enemies in a firefight. Two attorneys for other Marines involved in the incident said Wuterich's account is consistent with those they had heard from their clients.

Wrote the Post: "On Nov. 19, Wuterich's squad left its headquarters at Firm Base Sparta in Haditha at 7 a.m. on a daily mission to drop off Iraqi army troops at a nearby checkpoint. "It was like any other day, we just had to watch out for any other activity that looked suspicious," said Marine Cpl. James Crossan, 21, in an interview from his home in North Bend, Wash. He was riding in the four-Humvee convoy as it turned left onto Chestnut Road, heading west at 7:15 a.m.

"Shortly after the turn, a bomb buried in the road ripped through the last Humvee. The blast instantly killed the driver, Lance Cpl. Miguel Terrazas, 20. Wuterich, who was driving the third Humvee in the line, immediately stopped the convoy and got out, Puckett told the Post, adding that while Wuterich was evaluating the scene, Marines noticed a white unmarked car full of "military-aged men" lingering near the bomb site. When Marines ordered the men to stop, they ran; Puckett said it was standard procedure at the time for the Marines to shoot suspicious people fleeing a bombing, and the Marines opened fire, killing four or five men.

"The first thing he thought was it could be a vehicle-borne bomb or these guys could be ready to do a drive-by shooting," Puckett said, explaining that the Marines were on alert for such coordinated, multistage attacks.

According to Puckett, as Wuterich began briefing the platoon leader, AK-47 shots rang out from residences on the south side of the road, and the Marines ducked.

A corporal with the unit leaned over to Wuterich and said he saw the shots coming from a specific house. After a discussion with the platoon leader, they decided to clear the house, according to Wuterich's account.

"There was a threat, and they went to eliminate the threat," Puckett said.

A four-man team of Marines, including Wuterich, kicked in the door and found a series of empty rooms, noticing quickly that there was one room with a closed door and people rustling behind it, Puckett said. They then kicked in that door, tossed a fragmentation grenade into the room, and one Marine fired a series of "clearing rounds" through the dust and smoke, killing several people, Puckett said.

The Marine who fired the rounds - Puckett said it was not Wuterich - had experience clearing numerous houses on a deployment in Fallujah, where Marines had aggressive rules of engagement.

Although it was almost immediately apparent to the Marines that the people dead in the room were men, women, and children – most likely civilians – they also noticed a back door ajar and believed that insurgents had slipped through to a house nearby, Puckett said. The Marines stealthily moved to the second house, kicking in the door, killing one man inside and then using a fragmentation grenade and more gunfire to clear another room full of people, he said.

Wuterich, not having found the insurgents, told the team to stop and headed back to the platoon leader to reassess the situation, …(knowing) a number of civilians had just been killed.

As already stated, the Haditha massacre story reported by Time magazine was based entirely on accounts from Iraqis with an ax to grind. The facts of what happened tell a different story. The real story, it will eventually be revealed, is backed up by evidence Time didn't know existed. It gives the lie to the idea that there was anything like a massacre in Haditha on Nov. 19. Here, for the first time, is the truth about what happened.

NewsMax can verify Wuterich's account. The site of the IED explosion was in an area well known as an insurgent stronghold, where as many as 50 IEDs were found previously, and from where, on two previous occasions, insurgents launched small-arms fire, rocket-propelled grenades, and mortar attacks on K Company.

Within five minutes of the blast, Marines on the scene reported they were receiving small-arms fire. Within 30 minutes of the blast, and while the house-clearing was still under way, an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team en route to the site came under small-arms fire in a known insurgent tactic to ambush first responders.

At the same time, just 30 minutes after the house-clearing, an intelligence unit arrived to question the Marines involved in the house-clearing operation. NewsMax sources say the behavior of the Marines involved gave them no reason to believe anything but what they had been told.

At about the same time a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) arrived over the blast area and from that moment on, for the entire day, the UAV transmitted views of the engagement to the company command site, battalion headquarters, the regimental HQ, and the division HQ. What the UAV captured was a view of Marines in their perimeter, as they went about doing house-clearing. It was then vectored to the surrounding area to catch any fleeing insurgents. It showed four insurgents fleeing the neighborhood, loading weapons into their car, and linking up with their partners (the ones that had conducted the ambush on the EOD team).

Knowing what we now know about Wuterich's account, these fleeing insurgents were most likely the same ones who left through the back door of the house he was clearing.

There are photos of this, and they show the insurgents getting back into their car after loading the weapons The UAV then followed them south to their safe house. From that point forward, until about 6 p.m., the safe house was hit by bombs and an assault by a K Company squad. The UAV followed the insurgents who had been inside through town.

The final tally for these engagements was two insurgents killed by direct fire, one killed by GBU bombs, and one detained. The entire action was followed by the UAV overhead.

The Haditha "massacre" being referred to is the 30 minutes to one hour that took place first thing in the morning. The rest of the day's activities, in fact, confirmed the nature of the morning's attack.

It is clear that the entire incident was planned and carried out by insurgents who detonated the IED, and then, in a familiar tactic, attacked the Marines responding to the blast – deliberately putting civilians at risk.

This is what happened in Haditha that day. It was a daylong engagement with armed insurgents that involved civilian casualties who died as a result of being caught in the middle of a firefight. It had been reported as a blast followed by a TIC – Marine Corps terminology for "Troops in Contact." In other words, gunfire directed at the Marines.

As the battalion went about compiling information on the insurgents' identities and determining who had been involved in the attack, its actions in the ensuing weeks resulted in the detention of several insurgents who masterminded the attack, and who remain incarcerated in Abu Ghraib prison today. “ endquote

Secretary of Treasury Admonishes Keller



Like Helen, Mr Keller of the New York Times seems blind and deaf to rational arguments, vigorously presented, over a period of months, AGAINST the illegal publication of classified programs, Terrorist Finance a particular program among many.

Unlike Helen, Mr Keller exhibits an astonishing insulation to ration, reason, national security, self-preservation or even newsworthiness in general.

US Secretary of the Treasury, Mr Snow, addresses these issues as well as Mr Kellers dissembling remarks in this open letter from Mr Snow TO Mr Keller:


What Constitutes Treason Today?

Karridine
Pictured: Mr Keller on a good day.


Me? I personally favor the idea of a Class-Action suit on behalf of the Americans materially endangered by this irresponsible, arrogant and America-hating person; coupled with Federal agents seizing their offices, the Times Building, its presses and computers while a Federal case for the Times' complicity in acts that 'aid and comfort' America's enemies is being prosecuted, after which they can have it all back, IF there IS a New York Times then!

When I signed my copy of the Official Secrets Act : Contract with the US Government, in order to be cleared for Top Secret info for which I might have a Need To Know, I promised to KEEP THOSE SECRETS, and have to this day! Why should the NYTimes (or Sandy Berger or anyone else) be immune to or above the laws of our nation?

KD

Mr. Bill Keller, Managing Editor
The New York Times
229 West 43rd Street
New York, NY 10036

Dear Mr. Keller:

The New York Times’ decision to disclose the Terrorist Finance Tracking Program, a robust and classified effort to map terrorist networks through the use of financial data, was irresponsible and harmful to the security of Americans and freedom-loving people worldwide. In choosing to expose this program, despite repeated pleas from high-level officials on both sides of the aisle, including myself, the Times undermined a highly successful counter-terrorism program and alerted terrorists to the methods and sources used to track their money trails.

Your charge that our efforts to convince The New York Times not to publish were “half-hearted” is incorrect and offensive. Nothing could be further from the truth. Over the past two months, Treasury has engaged in a vigorous dialogue with the Times - from the reporters writing the story to the D.C. Bureau Chief and all the way up to you. It should also be noted that the co-chairmen of the bipartisan 9-11 Commission, Governor Tom Kean and Congressman Lee Hamilton, met in person or placed calls to the very highest levels of the Times urging the paper not to publish the story. Members of Congress, senior U.S. Government officials and well-respected legal authorities from both sides of the aisle also asked the paper not to publish or supported the legality and validity of the program.

Indeed, I invited you to my office for the explicit purpose of talking you out of publishing this story. And there was nothing “half-hearted” about that effort. I told you about the true value of the program in defeating terrorism and sought to impress upon you the harm that would occur from its disclosure. I stressed that the program is grounded on solid legal footing, had many built-in safeguards, and has been extremely valuable in the war against terror. Additionally, Treasury Under Secretary Stuart Levey met with the reporters and your senior editors to answer countless questions, laying out the legal framework and diligently outlining the multiple safeguards and protections that are in place.

You have defended your decision to compromise this program by asserting that “terror financiers know” our methods for tracking their funds and have already moved to other methods to send money. The fact that your editors believe themselves to be qualified to assess how terrorists are moving money betrays a breathtaking arrogance and a deep misunderstanding of this program and how it works. While terrorists are relying more heavily than before on cumbersome methods to move money, such as cash couriers, we have continued to see them using the formal financial system, which has made this particular program incredibly valuable.

Lastly, justifying this disclosure by citing the “public interest” in knowing information about this program means the paper has given itself free license to expose any covert activity that it happens to learn of - even those that are legally grounded, responsibly administered, independently overseen, and highly effective. Indeed, you have done so here.

What you’ve seemed to overlook is that it is also a matter of public interest that we use all means available - lawfully and responsibly - to help protect the American people from the deadly threats of terrorists. I am deeply disappointed in the New York Times.

Sincerely,

[signed]

John W. Snow, Secretary

U.S. Department of the Treasury

Father-Son Talk: #1 in a Series


"You asked me about re-deployment from Iraq, and I considered my thoughts. Here is my response."

On Iraq! "Read da ploy!"
Karridine
Pictured: over ONE MILLION Jordanians demonstrating for freedom, late 2005! THIS is directly attributable to America's efforts in Iraq.

"From your perspective, what's the desired goal in Iraq?"

Briefly, because we're living in a non-polar world, (socially,
politically, actually) I recognize that 'redeployment' could only work
if there were some place to 'redeploy' to, but with the
attitudinal/spiritual/meme-disease infecting people today
in every nation, in every locale, then America cannot
'redeploy'.

Luxembourg can BE Luxembourg, but America hasn't
the choice of being Luxembourg... either America leads,
protects, nurtures, champions and supports (self-determination,
free speech, freedom of thought, rational self-reliance,
principled responsibility, the equality of men & women,
rights of minorities, oneness of humanity) in the place
of America's choosing

OR

the 'American moment' is over.


Either America stands, FOR our ideals of justice, liberty
human rights being God-given rights, or our retreat (no matter
how we wrap it in redeployment words) will be seen by the
enemies of these ideals as the defeat it is and will plunge the world
into a life and death struggle at the local levels, as today's
thug-fascist-uberMenschen bullies acknowledge America's
lack of commitment to those 'nice words' (Satan's blather)
and assert their right to RULE in Shari'a 'Peace', over all others!

Iraq? Iraq is NOT about the future of Iraq, its about
the future of America, and through America, the free world.

If America backs down now, abandons the Iraqis to their
fascist/theocrat overlords in Iran/Saudi, then Iraq is lost
AND America is gone. WHO, friend or foe, would trust America
again?

Not to put too fine a point on it, but if YOUR SON has a
right to live, and if YOU have a duty to protect him until
he is capable of protecting his own right to live, then
all those who have publicly, repeatedly proclaimed
THEIR RIGHT to Subjugate, Dominate, Enslave or KILL YOU,
are enemies to your son, and to you.

My son, IF this reasoning seem over-simplified, its because
I CAN see grey, and extenuating circumstances, and
individual exceptions, but I choose to focus on these,
the underlying dynamics and so I answer your question thusly:

For Iraq, freedom, justice and self-determination, with America's
help, as long as it is necessary.

For America, a continuing role as the world's only super-power
(that 'America is not Luxembourg' thing, again) judiciously
using its resources to champion and carry forward the principles
proclaimed by Baha'u'llah, the Glory of God!

To the extent that America DOES this, America is blessed.
To the extent that America turns away from this, America is hurt.

#30#

A physical metaphor/corollary is a purulent, septic boil, which
can be lanced to drain the dead and dying pus... but if America
does not finish the job cleanly, professionally and courageously
it could let that septic, toxic sickness run freely through the
life-arteries of our world, to poison and attack ALL living tissue.

Meditative Monday:








In response to a slowly-growing number of requests, I'm starting this last week in June with some MP3's of a melodic type, and an Iraq theme:

I Wanna Go Home

Leftists' Dream

I Wanna Go Home To You

I Wanna Go Home (wanna go home)
Having done a good job
Lifting up down-trodden
Though the work is rotten,
There's a light in their eyes!

I Wanna Go Home (wanna go home)
Tell the whole nation that I did what's right!
Shared my best,
Little pay, little rest
Shining out Liberty's light...

America has enemies, without and within
Who want us all to feel shame
For having the courage
To do what's right
They want to kill us in God's name!

I won't go home (I won't go home!)
Til I've done a good job
Look my son in the eye
Hold my daughter
Til they know my heart is true

Wanna see my wife (wanna see my wife!)
Hold her in my arms,
Bury my face in
her soft shoulders
Hold her while I cry

For I've seen our enemy
Hide without sorrow or shame
Behind women and children
Then kill them, in God's name...

I've seen my brothers-in-arms,
Holding back their ire,
Until civilians
Are out of the line of fire!

I'm coming home (I'm coming home!)
To my City of Light
Standing tall on the mountain
History recounting
I've done my duty right,

I'm Going Home...

American Future... World Future!


An interesting and insightful piece by Mark Steyn on 'read da ploy', when there IS no 'forward area' or 'rear area' in a non-polar world. America can DO, or NOT, but there is NO PLACE to 'redeploy to' in this day:

American Future, In Iraq!

Karridine

“For the rest of the world, what's at issue in the Iraq war is not the future of Iraq but the future of America. Can the world's leading nation still lead or is Kerry's Vietnam Syndrome "seared" (as he'd say) into its bones? Luxembourg can be Luxembourg. America doesn't have that option. In a nonpolar world, there's nowhere to redeploy to.”

Starting with that quote from Mark Steyn, my favorite leftist, I set the stage for an examination of why this conflict is important, vital and central to every human in this day.

Mr Steyn was writing in reference to the appeasers and fifth-columnists in America who ‘don’t want America to lose or retreat or quit or be defeated or killed’, they just want the troops to be ‘redeployed’ to the rear, outside the Iraqi ‘theater of war’.

In a nonpolar world, however, there’s nowhere to redeploy TO! This conflict does not have national bounds, knows no racial primacy and observes no rules of engagement, despite how wonderfully the Americans DO observe such rules.

If America were to leave Iraq as the Kerry-ons and Murtha-troyds so passionately desire, the American moment would be ended. Who, friend OR foe, would ever believe America again? Vietnam followed by Blackhawk Down followed by Iraq Humiliation?

America would seal the fate of all Americans AND the rest of the freedom-loving world AND the rest of the ‘just leave us out of it’ nations AND the Islamic world… to a time of failing communications systems, reduced or non-existent transport systems (maybe buses would still run, from New York to LA, Paris to Moscow, but planes wouldn’t!), mass famine and widespread, rampant disease as systems CREATED BY kffir non-believers lurched to a halt in the widespread, more-or-less low-intensity conflict which would erupt everywhere as people sought to SURVIVE after the collapse of America, faith in America, TRUST in America!

Iraq is about the future of America!

And America was chosen by the Lord of Hosts as a shining example of what benefits American citizens and world citizens!

Maelstrom of the Memes: June 25


A short countdown of this week's Most-Mentioned Memes:

Maelstrom-June 25!


Zarqawiwi Report

Karridine
(Graphic courtesy BlogsOfWar.com)

Maelstrom of the Memes:

Countdown for the Top Ten: June 18-25, 2006CE

10. We lead off this week with last week’s #7 story, Hajji Girl, a song written and sung by LCpl Beliel and recorded in his off-duty time, included some lyrics about how the Marine is lured to an ambush by Hajji Girl, who is then SHOT by her father and brother, who also SHOOT the Hajji Girl’s sister, before acquiring a case of acute, severe lead-poisoning. This example of inoffensive free speech, although revealing the motives and methods of Islamist thugs, has been twisted by CAIR (and MSM) to make it seem like something BAD! Its not over yet, and you can Support Beliel! while enjoying Number9

9. Rising concern from several sources for several reasons revolving around the rapidly-failing New Yawk Times’ ever more vicious and treasonous revelation of Classified Information; with rational commentators focusing on the damage this ‘rogue agent’ does America, the extra deaths it sets the stage for, the contempt it shows for American law and the arrogant disregard for responsible freedom, leading to this week’s #8,

8. Fifth-Column subversives and others striving to destroy America from the inside,
(with ‘support for the troops’ conditioned on anti-American action!) and how these were dealt yet another decisive blow in Miami this week. Splodey-dopes, Zero, American law-enforcement, 7! Good work, Guys!

7. CAIR (Council American-islamic Relations) has begun whining about people who accurately report its vile, anti-American, pro-thug/pro-Islamofascist efforts in the blogosphere! CAiR has begun whining to the FBI! Delicious irony, eh?

6. Thugs: “Thugs, We Are Thugs, and We’ll Kill You Like Thugs” (except some of the Jordyptian thug-wannabees), who were humiliated earlier this week when they kidnapped a Jewish student, for torture and ransome, then quickly let him go free when they learned he is also AMERICAN, and they didn’t want to ‘Cop a Zarkman!’

Which leads to our Top 5 Stories, starting with #5,

5. The Planning Document (found in print form in the rubble of Zarqawiwi’s “Safe House” and in electronic form on the thumb-drive in the dead ZMan's pocket) which relates in telling detail the 10 Top Ways Thugs Are LOSING in Iraq! A heart-warming document for all freedom-loving people, this is no longer being pitched by any apologists as, ‘Iranian Propaganda’, because of its STRONG CONGRUENCE to reality! The MANY recent wins in Iraq are encouraging overall, even as they make it more difficult for Socialists, thug-enablers and the morally-inept to attack America!

4. Holding at #4 position this week, the war crimes committed by Jordyptian thugs on the beach of Gaza, where a cache of Jordyptian weapons and explosives accidently detonated, killing families of Jordyptians, whereupon the Pallywood Perverts filmed as much of the debacle as possible, and got the videos to news media while claiming, Israel did this! Even Kofi Annan ate crow three days later, when security videotapes from the Gaza territories AND Israel proved without a doubt that Israel was not involved in this latest version of ‘Win if we kill Jews, and Win if we kill our own loved ones so that we can blame the Jews!

3. Leading to this week’s #3 story, the continued effort to change a dedicated anti-American’s death at the hands of Jordyptians, (by, for example, KozKowards and others) into a martyrdom caused by Americans and Jews and Caterpillars: the Rachel/Corrie pantomime, signed-English for the blind!

2. Nearly at the top, one of those memes which is both ephemeral and enduring, the
-quote- “Grim Milestone” of the 2,500th American death (NOT just combat-related death, but accidents and heart-attacks and other causes) in Iraq, in the 3 years America has been fighting for Iraqi freedom, and this figure reminds us again of HOW WELL America is fighting and how IMPOTENT its enemies are, when we compare this to the number of American dead at D-Day Normandy, June 6, 1944:
2,700 3,000 dead and thousands more wounded, in our effort to start eradicating the Socialist pre-cursor racist-forefathers to Islamic supremecists of today, when we took on and BEAT the SNOT OUT OF the National Socialist Nazi thugs then, as we’re doing to their spiritually-dead, mentally-retarded, history-deficient Nazi-wannabee downlines today! … And now,

1. Holding on at #1, because of massive follow-on raids, arrests, one-sided firefights with Baathist losers and holdouts made possible by the INTEL gleaned from the thumb-drive in Zarkman’s pocket, as well as the bleating, whining and denial of thousands of Jordyptian losers upon hearing of Zarkman’s humiliating demise, Death of Zarkman starts its long slide into Miserable Footnote of History Obscurity, but for today, June 25, 2006, it topped this week’s Maelstrom of the Memes! Join us next Sunday, for Karridine’s Kountdown of the World’s Most Mentioned Memes!

CandyGram for Suleiman!


Here's a news item that's sure to warm your heart: Suleiman 'Sheikh' Mansur bought the farm, thanks to information provided by Ayub al-Masri, his 'Right-Hand Man' and 'Next in Line'...

This is almost as much fun as the Jordyptian Exiles' Fratricide War!

Medical Care for Zarqawi


This just in!

MP3 HERE:

Recently released transcripts of Zarqawi's rescue from the rubble of his amazingly unsafe 'Safehouse' by American troops on the scene within minutes of the targetted bombing by 2 five-hundred pound bombs, indicate that Zarkman received some pretty good care...

Voice 1: "Colonel! There they are!"

Col.?: "Guys! Bring him here!"

Voice 1: "We've got the Battlefield Mobile Surgical Hospital set up... here..."

Voice 3: "Put him on the gurney... PREP! Get an IV Saline into him, STAT!"

Female Voice: "BP flat... we're losing him..."

Voice 4: "Uh, Sir? Colonel?"

Voice 3: "What do want soldier? We want Zarqawi alive..."

Voice 4: "Sir, you might need this..."

Voice 1: "Good God! Its his heart! Well... it... looks good, let's get it IN him..."

Secret tape of Toronto Star editor critiquing reporter submission

"Yeah, John, nice article. I do think, though, that you provided too specific a description of the alleged suspects."

"I referred to them as carbon-based life forms, per newspaper policy."

"Yes, well, I don't really agree with that policy. Isn't it possible that the alleged suspects might NOT be carbon-based life forms?"

"Well ..."

"As a reporter, John, you must learn to keep your mind open to ALL possibilities. Is it not possible that humankind has been infiltrated by extraterrestrial beings with a different body chemistry who are nevertheless able to look like us?"

"Well ..."

"I'm glad you agree. So we will refer to them as the alleged carbon-based life forms who allegedly planned some mischief."

(Sarcastically) "How about, 'Outer Space Aliens may have plotted to blow up buildings in Toronto'" ?

(Seriously)"No, we don't want to single out the extraterrestrials either. Anyway, I understand they take offense at being referred to as aliens."

To the Ace of Spades


I keep the now-sepia-toning picture nearby, all the time, not just on Father's Day.

The four young, grinning men in uniform with their fisted left forearms down in front of them, displaying for the (unknown) picture-taker their 4 Ace-of-Death tattoos, designed by Dad.

He wasn't Dad there, in front of the tents of the embarkation assembly and holding camp in Georgia in WWII, he was just an Army-AirCorps recruit with three other young friends...

Grinning in the face of death.

The little guy, to Dad's right, that's Willie Ferno. He died a few months later in the Bataan Death March... and as much as the other three were glad to be alive, they always grew quiet when his name came up. But they'd laugh about their bruised cheeks and black eyes from the bar-brawl the night before...

There were fewer and fewer meetings as the 40's became the 50's, the 50's segued into the 60's and then the 70's... the remaining three learned that, despite their shared service and survival, they really didn't share that much with the intellectually capable, critical thinker who was my Dad. And their political positions... well, there was that, too.

So here's a chance to salute the Ace of Spades Ace, Dad. Would that all your designs were as elegant...

Karridine's KountDown of the Memes!

Here, for your listening pleasure, is the


Maelstrom of the Memes!

for this week, June 18, 2006CE


Karridine


Maelstrom of the Memes: Countdown for the Top Ten: June 4-11, 2006CE

10. We lead off this week with last week’s #4 story, Thailand’s Beloved King, who has been officially meeting and feteing the world’s last remaining ‘royalty’ and other national leaders visiting in-person to wish him, and the Thai nation as a whole, prosperity and a safe, secure future unthreatened by Islamo-fascist thugs in southern Thailand, who are taking THEIR cues from…

9. Iran’s near-castration and humiliating defeat on the international diplomatic stage, has prompted a lessening of news-items and blog-posts on this vile and calculating nation, causing it to slide from last week’s #6 to this week’s #9, leading to this week’s #8,

8. Karl Rove, adviser to America’s president GWBush, will NOT be indicted for ANY wrong-doing in the Valerie Plame affair. This finding by Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald has already set off exploding heads on the shoulders of liberals, leftists and moonbats from Maine to Mexico, unable to accept that Rove could POSSIBLY have been acting legally after TruthOut.org stated categorically as fact, that Rove was under indictment! In with a bullet at Eight, and beaten for 7 by another newcomer…

7. Hajji Girl, a song written and sung by LCpl Beliel and recorded in his off-duty time, included some lyrics about how the Marine is lured to an ambush by Hajji Girl, who is then SHOT by her father and brother, who also SHOOT the Hajji Girl’s sister, before acquiring a case of acute, severe lead-poisoning. This example of inoffensive free speech, although revealing the motives and methods of Islamist thugs, has been twisted by CAIR (and MSM) to make it seem like something BAD! Its not over yet, and you can Support Beliel! while enjoying Number 6,

6. Thugs: “Thugs, We Are Thugs, and We’ll Kill You Like Thugs” (except some of the Jordyptian thug-wannabees), who were humiliated earlier this week when they kidnapped a Jewish student, for torture and ransome, then quickly let him go free when they learned he is also AMERICAN, and they didn’t want to ‘Cop a Zarkman!’

Which leads to our Top 5 Stories, starting with #5,

5. The Planning Document (found in print form in the rubble of Zarqawiwi’s “Safe House” and in electronic form on the thumb-drive in the dead ZMan's pocket) which relates in telling detail the 10 Top Ways Thugs Are LOSING in Iraq! A heart-warming document for all freedom-loving people, this is being pitched by some apologists as, ‘Iranian Propaganda’, despite its STRONG CONGRUENCE to reality!

4. In #4 position this week, the war crimes committed by Jordyptian thugs on the beach of Gaza, where a cache of Jordyptian weapons and explosives accidently detonated, killing families of Jordyptians, whereupon the Pallywood Perverts filmed as much of the debacle as possible, and got the videos to news media with the claim, Israel did this! Even Kofi Annan ate crow three days later, when security videotapes from the Gaza territories AND Israel proved without a doubt that Israel was not involved in this latest version of ‘Win if we kill Jews, and Win if we kill our own loved ones so that we can blame the Jews!”

3. Leading to this week’s #3 story, al-Qaradawi’s revelation that John F Kerry was supported in his bid for American presidency by homosexuals, leftists, nudists, female homosexuals and deranged deviants. A big story not because of al-Q’s stating it, but because of the close correlation between the Islamist’s speaking points and the observed reality, for a change.

2. Nearly at the top, one of those memes which is both ephemeral and enduring, the -quote- “Grim Milestone” of the 2,500th American death (NOT just combat-related death, but accidents and heart-attacks and other causes) in Iraq, in the 3 years America has been fighting for Iraqi freedom, and this figure reminds us again of HOW WELL America is fighting and how IMPOTENT its enemies are, when we compare this to the number of American dead Omaha Beach alone, at D-Day Normandy, June 6, 1944: 3,000 dead and thousands more wounded, in our effort to start eradicating the Socialist pre-cursor racist-forefathers to Islamic supremecists of today, when we took on and BEAT the SNOT OUT OF the National Socialist Nazi thugs then, as we’re doing to their Nazi-wannabee downlines today! … And now,

1. Holding on at #1, because of massive follow-on raids, arrests, one-sided firefights with Baathist losers and holdouts made possible by the INTEL gleaned from the thumb-drive in Zarkman’s pocket, as well as the bleating, whining and denial of thousands of Jordyptian losers upon hearing of Zarkman’s humiliating demise, Death of Zarkman starts its long slide into Miserable Footnote of History Obscurity, but for today, June 18, 2006, it topped this weeks Maelstrom of the Memes!

Pre-"Post-Zarqawi" Intelligence


Here's a translation of some recent intel gleaned from the well-bounced rubble where Zarqawi's 'Safe House' used to be. This is the translation of a report BY Zarqawi, to al-Qaeda planners/thug-planners elsewhere, and its bleating, whining tone paints a bright picture of remarkable success by the US and our Allies!

Listen now, to Zarqawi's Last Status-of-Forces Report!
Karridine

The Jerusalem Post provides the translated text of a captured Zarqawi document that paints a gloomy picture of the state of the terrorist insurgency in Iraq. This picture is completely at odds with the image projected by the mainstream media of a robust insurgency gaining strength from US missteps.

Here are the main problems, as identified by the terrorist insurgent leaders themselves:

1. We thugs cannot stop allowing the American forces to form the forces of the National Guard, to reinforce them and enable them to undertake excruciatingly successful military operations against the resistance.

2. We cannot stop them undertaking massive arrest operations, invading regions that have a strong negative impact on the resistance, and hence causing the resistance to lose many of its elements to disillusionment, wounding, disintegration and –yes- even death.

3. By not being able to ever stop the Great Satan Team from undertaking a media campaign against the resistance resulting in weakening its influence inside the country and presenting our crowd-killing, head-hacking work as harmful to the population rather than being beneficial to the population.

4. By tightening, identifying and terminating with prejudice the resistance's financial outlets, Team Satan is restricting our moral options and by confiscating our ammunition and weapons, humiliating us daily for our cowardice and incompetence.

5. The ‘Allies’ are creating a big division among the ranks of the resistance and jeopardizing its attack operations, and has weakened its influence and internal support of its elements, thus resulting in a decline of the resistance's assaults by survivors, both frightened and crippled.

6. By allowing an increase in the number of countries and elements supporting the occupation, … allowing them to become neutral in their stand toward us in contrast to their previous stand … against the occupation.

7. By taking advantage of the resistance's mistakes and magnifying them in order to misinform, but more humiliatingly, to INFORM.

In other words, these are the things that the US is doing right. This document, if genuine, indicates a massive failure on the part of Western news media to accurately portray the conflict in Iraq, in part because it accurately portrays the successful, winning effort sustained by the US in Iraq!

Not Walter Kronkite!


Listen now, as Walter Krankheit reads some headlines from "Truth OUT!".org These are real headlines, but we get to hear the news as Walter SHOULD read it!


Walter Reads Headlines!


Karridine

Headlines

These first few, courtesy Truth-Out.org, which trumpets:

Bush Acknowledges
Guantanamo Damages US Image

And a couple of shocking revelations from Truth-Out:Outcry Over
Suicides at Guantanamo

Religious Leaders
Urge US to Ban Torture

Now, for the rumors behind the headlines.

President George Bush admitted today that all the inmates at Guantanamo, being non-uniformed combatants captured when they were actively red-handed (in most cases, LITERALLY!) on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq, were NOT subject to any consideration under the Geneva Conventions and when America doesn’t shoot them outright, America invites scorn, ridicule and criticism from other countries where such abusive thugs are common, and seek to exert brutal, terrorist control over unarmed civilians.

The ‘Outcry Over Suicides’ at Guantanamo, said Truth-Out, comes mostly from the Useful Idiots Division of the Socialist/Islamo-Fascist Mutual Assistance Front (SIFMAF), a ‘good-cop’ arm of the “leftists and terrorist Muslims” of the world. Most of them being illiterate, they believe what their handlers tell them, and Cry Out as if the suicides actually reflected negatively on America! Truth-Out spokespersons said “Well, yeah… Of COURSE those suicides were meant to make America look bad, Man! Those people were ignorant and stupid, and hanging in their cells was their way of showing America a thing or two!” Burials are scheduled immediately after the delivery of pig-entrails for suitably preparing the corpses.

And religious leaders, urging the US government to ban torture, explained that they much preferred that Americans die in greater number, and suffer maiming and crippling disfigurement in numbers too massive to count, rather than let even ONE poor, ignorant ‘Freedom Fighter’ lose a night’s sleep from the ‘torture’ of sleep deprivement. After all, said Truth-Out, religion’s a total scam, so religious leaders are –what?- hypocritical know-nothings, right? Signoff

Little Killers!


With grateful appreciation to Malvina Reynolds, whose courageous criticism of an earlier era's tendencies toward mindless uniformity has been bravely recast today, as criticism of the slave-like submission by millions, to clergy/mullahs/imams AS IF it were submission to the Will of God.

Its a short one, so enjoy

Little Killers!


Karridine

Little Boxes of Jihadis

1. Little killers by the roadside
Little killers filled with Shari’ah
Little thugs and little killers
Little gangsters, all the same
There’s a brown on and a black one
A white one and a yellow one
And they’re all filled with hatred
And they all look just the same.

2. And the terrorists, the jihadis
All go to the new madrassah
And they all rip their hearts out
So they all hate just the same
They were doctors, there were lawyers
They once were loving fathers
Now they’re all made out as splodey-dopes
And they all look just the same.

3. And they practice killing children
And hacking heads from schoolgirls
And they hate the pretty children
So they kill them all at school
But their own kids learn to hate
And to bomb any university
“Cuz its okay, they’re all kffirs!”
And they all die just the same.

4. And the men go into murdering
And having a 3-wife family
Bearing children, future splodey-dopes
Filled with hatred just the same!
There’s a thin one and a chubby one
A stupid one and the ignorant
And they’re all filled with steaming hatred
And they all look just the same.

Support Beliel!



Friends, here is a copy of the short recorded message I sent to USMC Headquarters today, urging them to have the courage to stand up to 'Political Correctness' and publicly support the blameless Corporal Beliel.

Please, I urge you, download and send THIS to Americans everywhere, as it urges THEM to support America instead of the Fifth-Column backstabbers at CAiR!

Support Beliel!

“in the last 48 hours coalition forces conducted 140 company and above level (battalion, brigade) operations. 32 anti-Iraqi elements were killed and 178 detained. Six major caches were found, and due to a tip from an Iraqi, one high-value individual with a $50,000 price on his head was detained.”

These operations followed the initial 17 conducted in and around Baghdad and the 39 all around Iraq, based on Zarqawi kill site intel exploitation that resulted in 25 suspects detained and one killed.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- American and Iraqi forces have carried out 452 raids since last week's killing of terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and 104 insurgents were killed during those actions, the U.S. military said Thursday.

Maj. Gen. William Caldwell, a U.S. military spokesman in Baghdad, said the raids were carried out nationwide and led to the discovery of 28 significant arms caches.

He said 255 of the raids were joint operations, while 143 were carried out by Iraqi forces alone. The raids also resulted in the captures of 759 "anti-Iraqi elements."

452 raids yielded 104 killed, 769 captured. 28 arms caches taken out. Not a bad week's work. And they clearly planned this - including taking out Zarqawi - for a long time.

Addressing this to HQ, United States Marine Corps means you are well aware that THIS is VERY GOOD NEWS! Savor it. This is the kind of good news that we’ve been working to obtain since committing to the Iraqi part of the War on Terror, Sir, and this is VERY GOOD NEWS!

I say this to contrast its goodness with what looks like an error of judgment from Marine Corps brass, who apparently BELIEVED the lies and dissembling and misdirection put out by CAIR, a known Islamo-fascist mouthpiece in America, when it whined and protested against a Marine’s video-song about terrorist thugs killing their own daughters!

CAIR misrepresented the song in as evil and duplicitous a manner as possible, AIMING to maliciously smear a marine who is, in the final analysis, just one more honorable American marine!

I (and the unnumbered many who read my blog and listen to and share my recordings of these observations and THIS communication) URGE YOU to fight this Politically Correct attack on a blameless marine!

Political Correctness is Marxism with a nose-job and new clothing, and deserves YOUR courageous refusal to play by its twisted, “America Loses!” rules.

Please! Listen to this intelligent plea from an old ASA-intelligencer, who turned 21 on a mountain-top on the NorK DMZ, supporting America’s efforts with the USS Pueblo!

Search your heart, review the FACTS in this case, and publicly support Marine Corporal Beliel, whose creative effort to deal with the pain and ugliness of war resulted in a relevant, honest effort that depicts Marines as Marines, decent and principled, in contrast to the father and brother who kill their own second-class female kin!

Think it over!

We appreciate your honorable efforts in these difficult times.
