Right on! I think the intercepted letter to Zarqawi from Zawahiri indicates our boys and girls along w/ the locals are accomplishing great things in Iraq. Truth be told, the greatest threat our people and Iraq faces are people like destruction. I think you've just gotta deal w/ garbage like that the same way you deal w/ a child. Ignore the tantrums! Arguing w/ pusillanimous social defects like that is futile. It's like arguing w/ a pet rock. He's a tool!

b careful, that 47 yr. old chiwowa will print your post and report it to da' authoritaaaays!!! lol thafety first! LOL gosh golly mr. destruction, plz don't do that! jiminy christmas Wally, what will we do? as for the gay bashing part??? huh? you mean Scooter (aka-destruction)? Scooters harmles! He's already living a life of hell and he's reminded of that hell every time he looks in the mirror. HE WEARS A HELMET AND DOESN'T EVEN PLAY FOOTBALL!

lol

That would be great! Then the same people who say the hurricanes are payback to America can now say the earthquake was payback to UBL.

What makes no sense is that most liberals who usually never saw a consipiracy theory they didn't like, just brush this one aside? FBI sealing the records on a "suicide"? That alone should be the honey that attracts the liberals in pointy tin-foil hats. My guess: They're scared of what they might learn. That the terrorist threat is much graver than they are willing to accept knowing full well they don't have a candidate, plan or record to offer in this fight. I'm still waiting to hear a better plan that has not already been tried and failed or different than what we are currently doing?

BIG UP SPRAGGA!!! MY 2 cents: On this topic, I think the saying "Liberals are really conservatives who haven't been mugged yet" applies. I'm sure the tune will change when it's your own loved one who is killed (be it by a teenager or an adult). I think the whole "child" thing is misleading. As a teenager you already know right from wrong so if you make the choice to murder, BUCKLE UP BITCH!

The media is remarkably incurious about terrorism coincidences By Jack Kelly http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | On Oct. 1st, Joel Henry Hinrichs, 21, an engineering student at the University of Oklahoma, died when an explosive device he was wearing detonated while he was sitting on a park bench 100 yards away from the stadium where 84,000 fans were watching Oklahoma's football team play Kansas State. Because the death is considered a suicide, it has attracted little attention beyond Oklahoma. A Nexis search for "Joel Hinrichs" the day of this writing produced just 41 mentions. Hinrichs' father said his son was a troubled loner, but he had no idea he was suicidal. No suicide note has been found. About 30,000 people in the United States commit suicide each year. Oklahoma native Mark Tapscott notes Hinrichs is apparently the first ever to commit suicide by blowing himself/herself up. Hinrichs used considerably more explosive than was required to kill just himself: "The explosion that killed Hinrichs also burned a large area around the bench," reported Mick Hinton of the Tulsa World. "A tree near the detonation site exhibits numerous small round holes that look like those that would be made by a ball bearing or a nailhead, both of which are routinely used by Middle Eastern terrorist bombers," said Tapscott, who works for the Heritage Foundation in Washington D.C. The holes were only on the side of the tree facing the bench where Hinrichs was seated. The FBI found more explosives in the apartment Hinrichs shared with a Pakistani student, Fazil Cheema. The apartment is a couple of blocks from the mosque where "20th hijacker" Zacarias Moussaoui worshipped when he was attending flight school in Norman. The FBI also reportedly found Islamist literature and a ticket to Algeria in the apartment, but journalists can't confirm this, because the FBI has had the search warrant sealed, something not typically done in cases of suspected suicide. The FBI found 13 plastic bottles in Hinrichs' car. The FBI did confirm that "dangerous materials" were removed from the apartment, and subsequently destroyed at the police range in Norman. Whatever those "dangerous materials" were, they apparently weren't enough for Hinrichs, because he tried to buy ammonium nitrate fertilizer — the key ingredient in the bomb that leveled the Murrah building in Oklahoma City in 1995 — at the Ellison Feed and Seed two days before his death. The principal component of the bomb Hinrichs was wearing was TATP (triacetone hyperoxide). It can be made by combining drain cleaner and bleach. TATP rarely is found in explosives in the United States, but is popular with Muslim extremists, who call it "Mother of Satan." The compound is highly volatile, and can explode spontaneously. OU senior Adam Smith told reporters a ticket taker at Gate 6 told him a young man had tried to gain entrance to the stadium, but sprinted away when the ticket taker went to search his backpack. The ticket taker refused comment when reporter Jayna Davis asked him about the alleged incident. Oklahoma University President David Boren said there is no evidence Hinrichs had bought a ticket to the Kansas State game, nor can he be identified on surveillance cameras at the stadium. But Hinrichs could easily have purchased a ticket from a scalper outside the stadium. And, Tapscott notes, since Hinrich's upper body was destroyed by the blast, we don't know what he looked like on the day of his death. OU Professor Stephen Sloan, a terrorism expert, told the Tulsa World's Hinton the size and timing of the explosion that killed Hinrichs "make it logical to think he was trying to get into the stadium." If Hinrichs were trying to take a lot of his fellow students with him, he was acting as a lone wolf, the FBI says. No connection has been found between Hinrichs and extremist groups, the agency said. Three bombs contained in plastic bottles were found in a courtyard on the campus of Georgia Tech Oct. 10th. One of them exploded, injuring the custodian who found them. The Friday before, a bomb was found on the campus of UCLA. That night, a Muslim student shot himself after police surrounded his apartment near the San Diego campus of the University of California. A chemical lab was found in the bathroom. These may be just remarkable coincidences. But the news media are remarkably incurious about them. http://www.jewishworldreview.com/1005/jkelly101205.php3

REMEMBER THE COLE By Michelle Malkin · October 12, 2005 09:05 AM Today is the fifth anniversary of the U.S.S. Cole bombing. Please take a moment to note the event on your blogs today if you have a chance. Stars and Stripes pays tribute to the 17 sailors killed in the terrorist attack, the dozens wounded, the survivors, and the families affected. Command Master Chief James Parlier will never forget the decision he was forced to make in leaving a mortally wounded sailor to die: “That’s the first time in my Navy career that I had to let someone die, so I did,” Parlier said. “I made the call. I said last rites. I said a prayer and then we put him on the side somewhere so he wouldn’t be in a position where he was dying in front of the crew and demoralizing the crew.” What did demoralize the crew was Yemenis celebrating the attack in view of Cole crewmembers for a couple of nights following the attack, Parlier said. They felt the Cole was their trophy, he said. “Boy, that sticks [with me], seeing all these guys in white outfits jumping up and down, partying music blaring,” he said. For the Cole’s sailors, it was tough not to retaliate, he said. The Cole incident was one of a series of terrorist attacks in the 1990s that were not adequately answered by the United States, said Marc Genest, an associate professor of strategy and policy at the Naval War College. “Measured responses against terrorist organizations are seen as a sign of weakness, not strength,” he said. Genest said the overall lesson from the Cole is that not responding to terrorists’ attacks only emboldens them. “The time to attack terrorists is at the very beginning of their strategy,” he said. Oct. 12 marks the fifth anniversary of the bombing of the USS Cole. Seventeen American sailors were murdered in the attack. They were casualties of a war with radical Islamic terror that America hadn't yet declared and which the mainstream media still refuses to acknowledge today. Too many of us were blind in 2000 — unable or unwilling or simply too uninterested to connect such blood-stained dots as al Qaeda's 1993 World Trade Center bombing attack, the 1996 Khobar Tower bombings, the 1998 African embassy bombings, and the attack on the Cole. After Sept. 11, 2001, all of our eyes should have been pried wide open to the evils of Muslim extremism that exist among us in both organized and freelance form. The watchdogs in the national press, however, insist on clouding our vision. Since 9/11, I've reported on the media's reluctance to highlight the convicted Washington, D.C.-area snipers' Islamist proclivities and journalists' refusal to call Egyptian gunman Hesham Hadayet's acts of murder at the Israeli airline counter at Los Angeles International Airport on July 4, 2002, "terrorism." Middle East scholar Daniel Pipes noted how quickly the media sought to whitewash the bloody bus-hijacking by Croatian illegal alien Damir Igric a month after 9/11. Although the incident "echoed similar attacks by Palestinians on Israeli buses," Pipes observed, the "media attributed the violence to post-traumatic stress syndrome." National Guardsman Ryan Anderson (a.k.a. Amir Talhah), a Muslim convert who allegedly attempted to pass sensitive military information to al Qaeda over the Internet, rated barely a blip on the media radar screen. Similarly, press accounts have downplayed the disruption of terrorist cells on American soil: The Lackawanna Six were just nice Muslim boys led astray. The Virginia Jihad Network was just a group of weekend paintball enthusiasts. Those indicted imams in Lodi, Calif., are just misunderstood "moderates." Terror suspects deported on immigration charges are just victims of discrimination. Now, many of my readers wonder why the MSM won't touch the strange and troubling story of the University of Oklahoma bomber, Joel Henry Hinrichs III... http://www.michellemalkin.com/

Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2005 7:12 a.m. EDT Dick Morris: Condi's the GOP's Next Eisenhower Top political strategist Dick Morris said Tuesday that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice could win the GOP's 2008 presidential nod much the same way Gen. Dwight Eisenhower did in 1952. "I think what's going to happen is that all over the country - people who see [Condi's] qualifications or are entranced by the job she's doing as Secretary of State and who are scared to death of the other one [Hillary], are going to get together and set up Condi clubs in their localities," Morris told WOR Radio's Bob Grant. Explaining the central premise of his new book "Condi vs Hillary: The Next Great Presidential Race," Morris said the pro-Rice groups will be able to "field their own [convention] delegate slates" who will remain officially uncommitted, "but in fact will be for Condi." "I think that those delegate slates, particularly in Iowa, are going to start winning." said Morris. "And that's going to blow up the Republican nominating process and create an irresistible momentum for Condi." "Dwight Eisenhower did the exact same thing," Morris told Grant. "Eisenhower stayed as commander-in-chief of NATO, he didn't campaign, announced two weeks before the Republican convention, won the primaries as a write-in candidate and beat Bob Taft for the nomination." Morris said that while Rice's unique charisma is likely to spark a grass roots campaign, her probable opponent, Hillary Clinton, is running on borrowed DNA. "I liked Bill Clinton. I think he was a good president," he told Grant. "I'm proud that I helped reelect him. But I have never liked Hillary Clinton. "It's one thing to say I liked Bobby Kennedy and Jack Kennedy but I don't like Teddy. At least there's DNA there - they're related." But Morris noted: "There's no genetic material between Bill and Hillary Clinton. And in many ways they're opposites." Morris ticked off the contradictions. "Bill is a genuine warm person - Hillary is not. "Bill is tremendously intelligent. Hillary is about average. She flunked the D.C. bar [exam], for example. "Bill is creative and innovative. Hillary does it by rote. "Hillary Clinton would be Richard Nixon in Democratic clothing," Morris told Grant.

lol this just doesn't fit his template.

I prefer to look at those sort of posts as encouraging for the conservatives. That's all they've got, psycho-babble. ps,,,,have you pulled your foot from your tv set yet?

FOOD 4 THOUGHT: RUSH: Now, ladies and gentlemen, will you pardon me for a moment while I address the liberals in the audience. I mean, you can listen. I want you to listen, but I don't want you to be offended here that I am specifically addressing the liberals, because I know you liberals are out there, and I know you've been listening to this first hour of the program today, and I know you listen to it every day. And if I know you liberals like I do --and I do -- I know you like every square inch of my glorious naked body, not just the back of my hand. I know you're out there rubbing your hands in glee. You think the conservative movement is falling apart. You think it's fractured. You think that all the factions are warring with each other and that a party and a movement divided like this cannot go anywhere. Well, I have a message for you liberal friends of ours out there. I know you think this is lots of fun. You think the conservative movement is split. You think there's an implosion going on, but let me warn you people about something. This is the kind of thing that you liberals should fear the most. You liberals, if you had any sense of history, if you're able to place what's happening today regarding the conservative reaction to the Harriet Miers nomination, if you have any context, historical context; you should be cowering in fear in the corners. The last time conservatives flexed their muscles like this was 1980. The last time conservatives said enough is enough. The last time conservatives rallied together and started demanding that conservatism triumph when Republicans are elected, Ronald Reagan won two landslides (1980 | 1984). That's what happens when the Republican Party embraces conservatism, and that's what happens when the conservative base is motivated to act. Once this matter of the Miers nomination has been resolved one way or the other, the conservative movement and the GOP are going to be stronger and they're going to be better focused because that's what the purpose of debate is, that's what the purpose of arguments is, and that will be the outcome here. The conservative movement and the GOP will be stronger, they will be better focused, they will be more energized than we have been in years. There will be a battle in the Republican primary for president between moderates like John McCain and conservatives, and after that battle is over the target will be the Democratic Party and liberalism. You will be exposed and you will be trounced just as you were in 1980. You have been warned. If you're sitting out there rubbing your hands in glee, feel free to continue, but you have nothing to offer. You don't have an agenda you can be honest and get behind about. You don't have anything positive, uplifting, or inspiring to say to the people of this country, even about this country. We conservatives know what we stand for, and we know our principles, and they are shared by most of America. We are proud to publicly embrace our principles, and we are proud to campaign on them. You liberals on the other hand, you're always acting undercover, fearful that if your true views and motives are exposed that you can't win, and you can't. You can't win if you expose yourselves and you can't win if you mask yourselves and camouflage yourselves and hide. So go ahead and get cocky, that's the best thing I could ever say that would happen to us is for you to get cocky and to think you've won it and that it's all over. Go ahead and get cocky and get giddy and start celebrating now. But what you're watching and what you're witnessing is not a "crumbling," not a "fracture." It is not a "split." What you're watching is a very healthy and growing conservative movement and a very healthy party preparing to battle you. You are making the mistake of assuming that George W. Bush is going to be on the ballot again. You are running against ghosts. You are speaking out against ghosts. You don't speak up for yourselves very well, either, at the same time. So you go ahead and get all giddy and you go ahead and get all excited. You just remember 1980. The last time something like this happened, and 1980 was precipitated by 1976, not Jimmy Carter, by the way; 1980 was precipitated by the Republican convention, Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan. It was the country club blue-blood Republicans versus the conservatives, and got close in '76, 1980 went over the top. And when you get a full-blown conservative candidate, in a full-blown conservative campaign, look out, left, and if you don't understand this, you never will, and I don't expect you to, because you don't have the ability to do two things. You don't have the ability to be honest about your opponents and who they are and what they are and where they are and you don't have the ability to be honest about yourselves, either, in either context. So I'm just warning you, make note of the date, October the 11th, 2005, liberals having great fun, all giddy, rubbing their hands together in glee thinking the '06 and '08 elections are over, standing on the sidelines, watching the conservative movement eat itself alive. You're watching just the opposite. You're watching growth; you're watching the establishment of firm conservative principles for the American people to see and to understand. You literally ought to be scared and cowering with fear in the corners, but you haven't the sense to do that, but I'm just warning you because you know why? Because you are people, and I like people. I like Americans. I'm trying to be nice. I'm trying to be inclusive. I'm trying to help. It's up to you to accept it or not. END TRANSCRIPT

Funny thing I saw last night. A ret. Gen. who's a FoxNews contributer just came back from Iraq and had ALL SORTS OF GOOD NEWS to report about the progess being made. When pressed about the media coverage of it, he simply just shrugs his shoulders and blows it off. He gets back on topic and reports what he saw. "Road to airport open and packed w/ traffic and people, 2000 soldiers emebedded w/ Iraqi forces which train while patrolling, etc.." He did have one complaint from the soldiers. He said they asked him why the press does not embed their reporters w/ them so they can get a first hand acct. of exactly what's going on, the progress and the true sentiments from the Iraqi masses? One would figure if they really wanted to get to the truth, they would do just that, right? Anyway, our soldiers got a job to do and they can't get too caught up and distracted w/ the useful idiots.

The answer is simple: It's called aiding and abetting! I say let them keep up the great work and keep convincing themselves they are the true patriots. Must be something in the granola?

Say it again, son!!! Say it again! In their minds, it's as if they convince themselves they're being patriotic and doing their duty. In reality, they're repelling people from their hateful, vision-less message. Funny thing I just remembered. I've heard Rush L. say that today's DEM party is so WAKT that one could fill a paper bag w/ shit and HIDE IT and you can sit back and watch how today's Dem party always finds a way to STEP IN IT. They've got lojack on shit piles which they love to walk through Truth be told Igloo, I would actually respect the complaints a little more if when they act so outraged, they would also include people from their party which do the same thing. When they imply it's just a Rep. thing, they automatically render their argument impotent.

Anyone who listens to Rush understands the sarcasm that's part of his show. Anyone who does not listen and tries to pull snippets from the show to induce a pseudo-emotional outburst,,,,Well, LOL LOL LOL LOL After all, the guy has the largest audience in America and I assume it's not for nothing. He's been doing it for over 15 yrs.

lol don't sweat it....Yanks are always good. Next year, PAPA!

LONG RANGE E swell will slowly subside during the second half of the week. Further out all attention will be on the North Atlantic. A major system is forecasted to form off the Mid Atlantic coast starting on Wednesday and continuing into the second part of this week. A strong area of high pressure over Eastern Canada will block this system while setting up a strong pressure gradient. The gradient between these two systems is forecasted to set up an impressive fetch of strong winds in our swell window and at this point it looks like those waves will be kicking in by the weekend. The strength and location of this system is still highly uncertain so be sure to check back for the latest updates on this potentially solid NE ground swell event. =============== LONG RANGE On Wednesday a broad but unorganized low is to continue east of the Bahamas reaching north to Bermuda. 25 kt south winds forecast on it's eastern side all aimed north. No swell producing fetch yet. By Thursday the Bermuda low is to get much better organized with 40-45 kts winds and 22 ft seas aimed back towards Central Florida from it's north quadrant. Decent swell generation potential. On saturday swell from the Bermuda gale arriving late. The gale itself is to start retreating to the northeast and dissipating. After that a new low to set up over Nova Scotia generating strong offshore winds and starting to sweep the ocean clean up north to Bermuda. Offshore's forecast over all the northern waters well through the weekend. No swell generation potential expected. http://wavewatch.com/pages/regions.php?RegionID=14

SAY IT AIN'T SO!!!!!!! NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) -- A retired teacher injured during a videotaped beating by New Orleans police says he feels no anger toward the department. "I hold no animosity against anyone. I want to thank the new police chief for his quick action. I really do," 64-year-old Robert Davis said Tuesday. Three officers have been suspended and local and federal authorities have launched investigations into the October 8 incident. Joseph Bruno, the attorney for Davis, said his client does not believe the assault was racially motivated. "I know there is a big temptation to go there, but my client firmly believes that is not what is involved here," Bruno said in an interview. Instead, Bruno said, Davis believes he was assaulted by "a couple of rotten apples that need to be dealt with." Davis is scheduled to appear in court this week as federal authorities investigate whether his civil rights were violated. Davis faces charges that include public intoxication, battery on a police officer and resisting arrest. He denied he was drunk. (Video: Davis denies drinking -- 5:22)) "I haven't drank in 25 years," Davis told CNN. "That's the amazing part." Davis said he stopped drinking 25 years ago after he had a black-out incident. "Since then, I have put alcohol down. I don't even entertain the thought of alcohol," he said. ============== My guess is this guy has either not been contact by Jesse Jackson and his ilk yet,,,,or maybe someone slipped his lawyer a briefcase full of cash? waddaya tink? Personally, I agree,,,,bad apples that need to be dealt with. If sincere, kudos to Davis for taking the high ground. We'll see what happens....Money does corrupt.

Moral poverty cost blacks in New Orleans Posted: September 21, 2005 1:00 a.m. Eastern By Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson Say a hurricane is about to destroy the city you live in. Two questions: What would you do? What would you do if you were black? Sadly, the two questions don't have the same answer. To the first: Most of us would take our families out of that city quickly to protect them from danger. Then, able-bodied men would return to help others in need, as wives and others cared for children, elderly, infirm and the like. For better or worse, Hurricane Katrina has told us the answer to the second question. If you're black and a hurricane is about to destroy your city, then you'll probably wait for the government to save you. This was not always the case. Prior to 40 years ago, such a pathetic performance by the black community in a time of crisis would have been inconceivable. The first response would have come from black men. They would take care of their families, bring them to safety, and then help the rest of the community. Then local government would come in. No longer. When 75 percent of New Orleans residents had left the city, it was primarily immoral, welfare-pampered blacks that stayed behind and waited for the government to bail them out. This, as we know, did not turn out good results. Enter Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan. Jackson and Farrakhan laid blame on "racist" President Bush. Farrakhan actually proposed the idea that the government blew up a levee so as to kill blacks and save whites. The two demanded massive governmental spending to rebuild New Orleans, above and beyond the federal government's proposed $60 billion. Not only that, these two were positioning themselves as the gatekeepers to supervise the dispersion of funds. Perfect: Two of the most dishonest elite blacks in America, "overseeing" billions of dollars. I wonder where that money will end up. Of course, if these two were really serious about laying blame on government, they should blame the local one. Responsibility to perform - legally and practically - fell first on the mayor of New Orleans. We are now all familiar with Mayor Ray Nagin - the black Democrat who likes to yell at President Bush for failing to do Nagin's job. The facts, unfortunately, do not support Nagin's wailing. As the Washington Times puts it, "recent reports show [Nagin] failed to follow through on his own city's emergency-response plan, which acknowledged that thousands of the city's poorest residents would have no way to evacuate the city." One wonders how there was "no way" for these people to evacuate the city. We have photographic evidence telling us otherwise. You've probably seen it by now - the photo showing 200 parked school buses, unused and underwater. How much planning does it require to put people on a bus and leave town, Mayor Nagin? Instead of doing the obvious, Mayor Nagin (with no positive contribution from Democratic Gov. Kathleen Blanco, the other major leader vested with responsibility to address the hurricane disaster) loaded remaining New Orleans residents into the Superdome and the city's convention center. We know how that plan turned out. About five years ago, in a debate before the National Association of Black Journalists, I stated that if whites were to just leave the United States and let blacks run the country, they would turn America into a ghetto within 10 years. The audience, shall we say, disagreed with me strongly. Now I have to disagree with me. I gave blacks too much credit. It took a mere three days for blacks to turn the Superdome and the convention center into ghettos, rampant with theft, rape and murder. President Bush is not to blame for the rampant immorality of blacks. Had New Orleans' black community taken action, most would have been out of harm's way. But most were too lazy, immoral and trifling to do anything productive for themselves. All Americans must tell blacks this truth. It was blacks' moral poverty - not their material poverty - that cost them dearly in New Orleans. Farrakhan, Jackson, and other race hustlers are to be repudiated - they will only perpetuate this problem by stirring up hatred and applauding moral corruption. New Orleans, to the extent it is to be rebuilt, should be remade into a dependency-free, morally strong city where corruption is opposed and success is applauded. Blacks are obligated to help themselves and not depend on the government to care for them. We are all obligated to tell them so. The Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson is founder and president of BOND, the Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny, and author of "Scam: How the Black Leadership Exploits Black America."

LOL Now dat's da troof! LOL Actually, those comments were taken out of context. I heard the entire statement by Bennete. In today's PC environment, conservatives don't have the luxury of commenting on anything racial. How less than 14% of America's population commits nearly 70% of the crime is sad? Factually speaking, the comment made by Bennet which was merely an answer to a question posed to him by a caller would factually be correct. I think Bennet's comment which seems to elude the press was that that premise would be "reprehensible" being that he's a staunch PRO-LIFER...He was offended by the question posed to him by the caller. He probably should have never repeated the callers question......Anyway....... Personally, I'm PRO-LIFE but if my political "enemies" are so PRO-ABORTION, then by all means,,,,,,,They're only aborting themselves and their future "liberal" generation into irrelevance and non-existence, hence, ABORT....If they were aborting conservatives, that's another story. But they're obviously aborting future liberals........(Yes, I'm generalizing.) Hello??? Mc Fly?????

I saw that game too....between the Miami Heat vs. San Antonio Spurs (which the Heat won at the last second.....), Monday night football and the ESPN classic "Young Mike Tyson's Greatests hits" (frigin' great! that boy was a fohk'n pit bull!!!).....I saw the Yankees lose..... Sorry bro...I was gunning for 'em. I went to high school w/ A-Rod. He was a couple years younger than me, but I still want to see the guy succeed. Funny to look at the year books and see him in there....
