Swift Terror

If the guy killed him just for fun, the military will court martial him six ways to Sunday. I love how some people are calling it murder, when they don't even know what exactly happened. Men have died because of booby traps on dead men and wounded men. As kkk pointed out, this guy was wounded by just such an incident.

I did this last year, so why not this year as well. From the Federalist Patriot: A special thanks to the Americans of the past that have fought for the United States. And to recognize the Tripolitan War--In response to the Arabs who were terrorizing Europe and the U.S. in the early 1800s, America bailed out the sorry fucks of Europe by taking the fight to the bad guys. Thank you Thomas Jefferson, Stephen Decatur and the others who set a great standard of American response to terror. And on this day, a special "fuck you" to the Ted Ralls of the world, who have openly expressed contempt for the American military. Rall was the cartoonist who trashed Pat Tillman, along with the rest of the military.

There's a guy who pops up every now and then on radio shows claiming that the Pentagon crash never happened. When asked what happened to the missing plane and all the dead, missing people he says "I don't know". I guess they're hidden away on an island, or beneath the White House in W's vast underground network of secret bunkers.

Thanks for your responses. And where exactly are the folks like INXS?...Nothing to say about Veterans Day. Can't say I'm surprised.

Everyone knows this bitch is a massive hypocrite. Now she is quoting TJ, as if Jefferson is somehow on her side. I saw the bitch's house while I was in St Thomas, Virgin Islands. We were cruising out to a lagoon and the guide pointed out a house she owned on a beautiful cliff right by the sea. I imagine it takes a lot of oil to keep that house going... All the dumbasses on the catamaran ooohed and aaahed and wanted to take pictures of her house. A couple of "oh, I just love her!" utterances could be heard. I wanted to wretch over the side of the boat. Why does the bitch stay here?...just go ahead and move to another country already.

The article said he was planning to marry...at least now his fiance has a chance to be with someone decent.

I was responding to Cheesalaisgood's general comment about teaching our kids not to fight, nothing more.

Sorry dude, it may be a cheap shot, but if you can't spell "tomorrow," maybe you should stay away from the two main parties.

They do want the U.S. to become an Islamic state. They want the entire Earth to be governed by Islam. They may sound nuts, but it is true. They are nuts. And if they cannot accomplish an Islamic government in the U.S., they would rather us be destroyed. I'm sure that is what is taught in most high schools and colleges/universities. Spend some time at a large city's central library and take a look at books written during the period of 700 through the Renaissance (subject: Islamic states), then take a look at several books by contemporary authors (1850 through today) on the same subject. Do not dismiss a book simply because it was written in, say, 1880 or 1935. These are particularly valuable. Try to avoid books from the 1990s. Do this and you will learn otherwise.

uh oh, kkk, sounds like "shenanigans" to me

Well, the great Matt Damon gave praise to Zinn in "Good Will Hunting". When a Hollywood Idiot speaks... We teach them to avoid a fight and to not start a fight. If the other kid throws a punch, we teach them to defend themselves and throw a punch back. It's the only way to stop a bully. If you begin to believe that your behavior alone will get them to stop trying to dominate you, you will submit to them and you'll never fight. You will want to follow their dictates, essentially becoming their lapdog. Wishy-washy baby-boomers are the only idiots in our society telling their children that fighting is universally bad. And a few religious nuts who take the Bible literally when Jesus said to turn the other cheek. Part of that reason would involve you converting to Islam, or, if you refuse and you are not killed, living under a government ruled by the text of the Koran. I'm very sorry for the loss of your friend. I hope you will one day come to believe that his death was for a very good and noble cause.

Just wanted to acknowledge the great John Cleese on his birthday today. My favorite Cleese, besides Monty Python, are: A Fish Called Wanda Fawlty Towers and the brief but great appearance in "Silverado" BTW, Silverado is a largely forgotten classic, a good 80s movie that holds up well even today

It was a western with Kevin Kline, Brian Dennehy, Scott Glenn (whatever happened to him??), Kevin Costner (before he was a big star), a few others I can't remember. yeah, he does look pretty damn old, kinda like Christopher Lee (Lee is freakin 82) imdb says Cleese was born in 1939 but who knows for sure

I'll say that, having watched it again after not having seen it for many years, it wasn't nearly as good as I remembered. It will interesting to see if the remake is actually BETTER than the original, as blasphemous as that is to some (yeah, I'm waiting until the DVD release tomorrow to see it, the hell with theater prices). Boy, were people pissed when it was announced that there was going to be a remake. EDIT: yeah, I'm back, just in time for the release of the new DOTD.

Pretty classy looking chick, looks hardcore. I'll bet she's a hellcat in bed. Bite your dick off, man.

And the lies keep a comin' Bush is the first president in history to allow federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. He has put limits on it, however. This was a compromise that was reached because he is against the destruction of embryonic life. Some may not consider the embryos as life, he does. He was urged to disallow federal funding altogether. Private research of embryonic stem cells has been left completely alone by Bush. There are no limits whatsoever. Any individual or company is free to research to their heart's content. Of course, adult stem cells are being researched with federal funds. Your statement is hopelessly ignorant. I can only surmise that you have spent time in graduate school.

repeat a lie often enough... If Bush proposed this, it would be described as a "disturbing, jingoistic indoctrination initiative reminiscent of Hitler's Germany..."

I was joking but I'm sure there are those that confuse The Daily Show and Drudge

Looks like another excuse to drag out the 1970s costumes. Will they be brave enough to go with a 70s soundtrack as well...

The most troubling thing about the memo is the 8th grade level of writing ability that the political director of ABC news displays. Oh, but I'm sure Drudge fabricated it anyway...

Just FYI here: "I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force -- if necessary -- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." - Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002 "If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program." - President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998 | "We must stop Saddam from ever again jeopardizing the stability and security of his neighbors with weapons of mass destruction." - Madeline Albright, Feb 1, 1998 | "He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983." - Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998 "[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs." Letter to President Clinton. - (D) Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, others, Oct. 9, 1998 | "Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." - Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998 "Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies." - Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999 "We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and th! e means of delivering them." - Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002 "We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002 "Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002 "The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..." - Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002 | "There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction." - Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002 | "We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction." - Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002 and the piece de resistance: "In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons." - Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002 Apparently Hillary is one of the dummies who watches Fox News and actually believes the Iraq-al Qaeda connection...

http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewSpecialReports....E20040930a.html Oh, this is nothing. Just wait until after the election, if Bush wins. They're already gearing up to claim foul. Them colored folks are gettin screwed yet again...

Unreal. Did Scalia and the civil rights leader who said blacks are not tech savvy have breakfast together or something? Somebody should check Scalia's computer video files...

Rather doesn't operate with that kind of logic in mind. The more important issue to him is the allegations and, in his mind, so what if the documents are forged. He did this before in the 80s. Some of you may have seen the link on Drudge yesterday about this. He hosted a documentary on CBS about Vietnam veterans, featuring harrowing stories of killings and torture, told by men claiming to be veterans. Rather led them through their interviews with breathless concern and with a heavy heart. How awful the war was, how awful our military was for producing such monsters. They were frauds. Danno never checked these men's backgrounds before putting them on the air. They were found to have never served in combat. One jackball claimed to be a 16 yrd old Navy SEAL assassin. He was never in the SEAL teams. Rather wanted the stories to be true, wanted our government and military to come under fire over Vietnam, as he wants this current story to be true. B.G. Burkett, author of "Stolen Valor" exposed these fakes. He simply looked up their military records via the FOIA. See ya, Danno. Bye now.
