*clicky*
Come to think of it, I find stuff like this in my pastures alla time. GotDanged Zionist Plotters!!!!
Lest we think the NYT is of any use...
it’ll even make your parakeet sick
WASHINGTON — A photograph and videotape of a Texas soldier dying in Iraq published by the New York Times have triggered anger from his relatives and Army colleagues and revived a long-standing debate about which images of war are proper to show.
The journalists involved, Times reporter Damien Cave and Getty Images photographer Robert Nickelsberg, working for the Times, had their status as so-called embedded journalists suspended Tuesday by the Army corps in Baghdad, military officials said, because they violated a signed agreement not to publish photos or video of any wounded soldiers without official consent.
How the hell are they unclear on this concept?
A Page Turned?
...and the response would be?
“A plot to kidnap, torture, and execute an individual in the heart of England, and film the gruesome events on a videotape for posting on the Internet, represents a new chilling escalation in tactics by the global jihadi terror groups and carries grave implications for all western nations,” says MJ Gohel, a terrorism expert with the London-based Asia-Pacific Foundation.
“In the past, we have witnessed the brutal beheadings of Western hostages in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq, but for it to happen in a major British city would send shock waves to millions of people throughout Europe and the world."
It's for the Chiiiildren

Senator Joe Biden on Barack Hussein Obama: “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy… I mean, that’s a storybook, man. ...I don’t recall hearing a word from Barack about a plan or a tactic."

Newz from The Front
worth the reading
The American People are woefully uninformed about the situation in Iraq and the political dynamics working in America and abroad to bring about our defeat.

Thank you, Nancy [cont'd]
Nancy - leader of the Dhimmpcrap Defeatist Party
See Nancy. See Nancy Looking Open-minded:
*clicky*clicky* for video of Nancy [D] Pelosi speaking with the troops. [I find this clip almost impossible to hear. If anyone has better luck or can give it a boost?]
an excerpt: Pelosi, seated with Jack Murtha, is speaking with the young female Army soldier who is seen facing the camera. Here is the exchange:
Young Army Soldier: “I’m a 96 Bravo Intel Analyst. I work as a Sunni analyst in a fusion cell.”
Nancy Pelosi: “Let’s talk about the intelligence that got us into the war. That would be interesting to start with."
This woman could make a Moonbat blush.
I See London, I see Frants...
I see C4 underpants!
Cameras on street corners? But waait! there’s more....
X-ray cameras which can see under people’s clothes could be installed in lampposts as part of the war on terror, it was reported today.
The claim was reported in the Sun, which said that “all passersby could effectively be seen naked” in the Home Office scheme.
...But the author of the memo concedes that the British public will not necessarily take kindly to being spied on under their clothes and suggests only women could monitor female subjects.
...Home Secretary John Reid was questioned about the plan on BBC TV, he said he knew nothing about it.

*ba*dump*bump*
A wealthy old lady decides to go on a safari in Africa, taking her faithful, aged poodle named Sparky along for company.
One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long,
Sparky discovers that he’s lost. Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having him for lunch.The old poodle thinks, “Oh, oh! I’m in deep doo-doo now!” Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap the old poodle exclaims loudly, “Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?”
Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. “Whew!,” says the leopard, “That was close! That old poodle nearly had me!”
Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So off he goes, but the old poodle sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.
The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, “Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what’s going to happen to that conniving canine!”
Now, the old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, “What am I going to do now?”, but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn’t seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle says: “Where’s that damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!"

WTF?!?
‘splain this whole thing to me?
The brazen assault, 50 miles south of Baghdad, was conducted by nine to 12 gunmen posing as an American security team, the military confirmed. The attackers traveled in black GMC Suburban vehicles (the type used by U.S. government convoys), had American weapons, wore new U.S. military combat fatigues, and spoke English…
...The new account contradicted a U.S. military statement on Jan. 20, the day of the raid on an Iraqi governor’s office, that five soldiers were killed “repelling” the attack.

Any comment?
yet another MSM Can ‘O Worms™ ?
LAT:
...a significant development in the U.S. disaster response/reconstruction/war machine: a Civilian Reserve Corps.......At last count, there were about 100,000 contractors in Iraq, of which 48,000 work as private soldiers, according to a Government Accountability Office report. These soldiers have operated with almost no oversight or effective legal constraints and are an undeclared expansion of the scope of the occupation.... [LAT flagrant use of that word e-C]
... Erik Prince, the secretive, mega-millionaire, conservative owner of Blackwater USA… a major bankroller of the president and his allies — pitched the idea at a military conference of a “contractor brigade” to supplement the official military.
Ok—strip off the “editorial” language and each of those is a subject of its own. Whatcha think —as a concept? —in the specific?
Now for the LAT “professional journalism spin:”
...Such power in the hands of one company, run by a neo-crusader bankroller of the president, embodies the “military-industrial complex” President Eisenhower warned against in 1961.
Further privatizing the country’s war machine — or inventing new back doors for military expansion with fancy names like the Civilian Reserve Corps — will represent a devastating blow to the future of American democracy.
“neo-crusader”?!? Ok—that’s a new one on me.
