Speaking of lowlife women….

Monday, July 25th, 2005

In From The Cold references a story out pf Pittsburgh PA - the PA Lt Gov has crashed a funeral for a Marine.
Then, suddenly, “one uninvited guest made an appearance, Catherine Baker Knoll.”
She sat down next to a Goodrich family member and, during the distribution of communion, said, “Who are you?” Then she handed the […]

Iraq and AQ (and other perps) WERE tied together

Friday, July 15th, 2005

Roger Simon, commenting that he did not leave the left, it left him, offers up these 2 items outlining ties between Iraq and Al Qaeda (and other terrorists like Carlos The Jackal).
An MP3 (alt link if orig. is being slashdotted - thanks to elgato and SwankyConservative)
A RAM Stream
The date on these? 1999
Can we PLEASE […]

New York Times says American Female Soldiers are whores

Friday, July 15th, 2005

In an editorial titled “The Women of Gitmo”, the New York Times has compared American Female Soldiers working at Camp Gitmo to hookers who walk the streets of New York.
There were several instances when female soldiers rubbed up against prisoners and touched them inappropriately. In April 2003, a soldier did that in a T-shirt after […]

China stockpiling oil? Preparing to invade Taiwan?

Thursday, July 14th, 2005

The Vodkapundit postulates about the Chinese economy, oil consumption, and Taiwan. Neither he, nor I, like how it reads.
I’ve been wary of the ChiComs for a long time now, and that bit of blogging reinforces my wariness. The responses to the post also uderscore my wariness. This stuff smells. Smells BAD.
They’ve […]

Vintage USN Bomb Disposal Cartoon

Thursday, July 14th, 2005

From boing boing, there’s a website with 38 pages of cartoons on bomb disposal. To be accurate, they are from a Sept. 1945 booklet titled, Mulvaney on Bomb Disposal, Supplement to Intelligence Bulletin No. 85.

Soviet Military Power - the annual magazine

Tuesday, July 12th, 2005

Did anyone else get these back in Ronnie’s administration?

click here for the full size pic
I LOVED these when I was a teenager. I found my 1988 copy in the garage, and what memories!
I’d like to share some scans from the issue, and mention something I find odd.
Below, you’ll find the scans of the Soviet […]

I have to rethink my Franco-phobia

Tuesday, July 12th, 2005

Daniel Pipes authored an enlightening (to say the least) column on how France leads the West in anti-efforts. You can interpret this to cover intel, laws, policing, regulations, etc etc.
I hadn’t really thought of it, but I now think he’s really onto something. Of course, I think France, with the highest […]

Some Muslims turning against radical Imams overseas, praying for the US, not against it.

Monday, July 11th, 2005

The Counterterrorism Blog reports a fascinating set of incidents - Kuwaiti Muslims drowning out their radical Imams when they rail against the US, instead praying FOR the US.
“The Al-Siyasah newspaper has received news that several mosques in Kuwait have begun to exhibit a new phenomenon manifested in the rejection by worshippers of extremist prayers expressed […]

DOES the West have a death wish?

Friday, July 8th, 2005

Spook86 at In From The Cold writes about the conduct of Western leaders, and how their lack of action amounts to a “death wish” for Western civ.
I am glad to see that there’s more people seeing this, as I have felt this way since our dropping the football post 9-11.
For the life of me, I […]

Al Qaeda in Iraq: We killed the Egyptian Envoy

Thursday, July 7th, 2005

It’s a trifecta of Muslim terror. London, the SEAL, and now assasination / murder.
These cruds are on a roll.
We need to wake up, as a culture, and recognize that there is no dealing with these people in AQ. The truth is, they will have to be killed in sufficent numbers as to make […]

Taliban claims to have a SEAL, will kill him

Thursday, July 7th, 2005

Taliban Claims SEAL Hostage, Threatens to Kill Him
Not surprising whether they have him or not. Bluff or no, it’s the sort of PR stunt that is simply sickening. When will we declare open season on these people and those that aid them??

WASHINGTON — On Thursday a purported Taliban (search) spokesman reiterated a […]

Al Qaeda strikes at London

Thursday, July 7th, 2005

Al Qaeda claims responsibility for the 7 bombings in London today. On one hand, this is yet another despicable action carried out by that cabal of bastards. On the other hand, in some way, I think I know how Churchill felt on Dec. 7 1941.
Update: Michelle Malkin has a ton of coverage.

BRAC list updated

Wednesday, July 6th, 2005

July 11, 2005
New BRAC list hits Navy hard
The Defense Base Realignment and Closure Commission announced July 1 that it has added more than a dozen facilities to those it could recommend for closing.
The release of the list is a necessary first step for the panel to add any closings to those proposed in May by […]

Pics from a Marine in Iraq - dispels the “QUAGMIRE” cacophony we hear too often.

Wednesday, July 6th, 2005

This fellow goes by the name Rusted Ace on AR15.com. He’s taken TONS of pics of his time there (working in EOD mostly) and has been very generous in sharing his pictures.
The most recent batch were taken on a policing patrol with Iraqi NGs.

RIP Admiral Stockdale

Wednesday, July 6th, 2005

Update: In light of world events: terror blasts in London and al Qaeda claiming to have a Navy SEAL, I’m pulling this from the top of the page.
Retired Admiral James B. Stockdale has passed on. I’m going to keep this post at the top of the page through Friday. New posts will appear below.

CNOOC launches PR campaign re: Unocal takeover bid

Wednesday, July 6th, 2005

Why is America Worried? asks the headline in the WSJ online editorials. Fu Chengyu, the head of CNOOC, launches a charm campaign to assuage fears over his firms proposal to take over Unocal. In particular, he offers this up:

We have recently filed with the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) […]

Unique look at our fallen servicemen & women

Tuesday, July 5th, 2005

The Palm Beach Post has created a map of the United States linking those who have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan with the towns they are from. It’s pretty cool, I have to say. I can’t help but wonder how the antiwar types will spin this map.

China tells the Congress to butt out

Tuesday, July 5th, 2005

The cheeky buggers are at it again. Their attempts at direct meddling are getting tiresome, to say the least. This is curiously overt behavior from them - and they’ve been more and more overt of late. Makes me curious as to what they’re hiding.
SHANGHAI, July 4 — The Chinese government on Monday […]
