Pre-emptive nuclear strike a key option, Nato told « The Official Coalition For Truth
To use an analogy from Boxing, “The firstest with the mostest.” Give that option up, and you are looking to get knocked on your butt in very short order. To do so when it involves nuclear weaponry, is suicidal.
Tom retired in his early 50’s and started a second career. However, even though he loved his new job, he
just couldn’t seem to get to work
on time. Every day, he was 5, 10, 15 minutes late.
But he was a good worker and really sharp, so his boss was in a quandary about how to deal with it. Finally,
one day, his boss called him into the office for a talk.
“Tom, I must tell you, I truly like your work ethic, you do a bang-up job, but being late for work nearly
every day is quite annoying to me as well as your fellow workers.”
Tom replied, “Yes, sir, I know. I’m sorry, but I am working on It.”
“That’s what I like to hear,” his boss said. “However, the fact that you consistently come to work late does
puzzle me, because I understand that you retired from the United States Air Force, and they have some pretty rigid
rules about tardiness. Isn’t that correct?”
“Yes. I did retire from the Air Force, and I’m mighty proud of it!” said Tom.
“Well, what did they say when you came in late?” asked his boss.
“They said, ‘Good morning, General’.”
Report: 121 Veterans Linked to Killings « Noor’s List#comment-4
Looks an awful lot like the utter hogwash that was so widely distributed by the media about Viet Nam Veterans during the seventies. Same people, same warped ideology, and probably the very same lies.
Mark Levin does a fair job, but only fair when reporting on McCain. What about his assaults on RKBA for example? check www.goa.org to get the real picture.

January 11, 2008 12:00 PM The Real McCain Record By Mark R. Levin
|
McCain-Feingold — the most brazen frontal assault on political speech since Buckley v. Valeo.
McCain-Kennedy — the most far-reaching amnesty program in American history.
McCain-Lieberman — the most onerous and intrusive attack on American industry — through reporting, regulating, and taxing authority of greenhouse gases — in American history.
McCain-Kennedy-Edwards — the biggest boon to the trial bar since the tobacco settlement, under the rubric of a patients’ bill of rights.
McCain-Reimportantion of Drugs — a significant blow to pharmaceutical research and development, not to mention consumer safety (hey Rudy, pay attention, see link).
And McCain’s stated opposition to the Bush 2001 and 2003 tax cuts was largely based on socialist, class-warfare rhetoric — tax cuts for the rich, not for the middle class. The public record is full of these statements. Today, he recalls only his insistence on accompanying spending cuts.
As chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, McCain was consistently hostile to American enterprise, from media and pharmaceutical companies to technology and energy companies.
McCain also led the Gang of 14, which prevented the Republican leadership in the Senate from mounting a rule change that would have ended the systematic use (actual and threatened) of the filibuster to prevent majority approval of judicial nominees.
And then there’s the McCain defense record.
His supporters point to essentially one policy strength, McCain’s early support for a surge and counterinsurgency. It has now evolved into McCain taking credit for forcing the president to adopt General David Petreaus’s strategy. Where’s the evidence to support such a claim?
Moreover, Iraq is an important battle in our war against the Islamo-fascist threat. But the war is a global war, and it most certainly includes the continental United States, which, after all, was struck on 9/11. How does McCain fare in that regard?
McCain-ACLU — the unprecedented granting of due-process rights to unlawful enemy combatants (terrorists).
McCain has repeatedly called for the immediate closing of Guantanamo Bay and the introduction of al-Qaeda terrorists into our own prisons — despite the legal rights they would immediately gain and the burdens of managing such a dangerous population.
While McCain proudly and repeatedly points to his battles with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who had to rebuild the U.S. military and fight a complex war, where was McCain in the lead-up to the war — when the military was being dangerously downsized by the Clinton administration and McCain’s friend, former Secretary of Defense Bill Cohen? Where was McCain when the CIA was in desperate need of attention? Also, McCain was apparently in the dark about al-Qaeda like most of Washington, despite a decade of warnings.
My fingers are crossed that at the next debate, either Fred Thompson or Mitt Romney will find a way to address McCain’s record. (Mike Huckabee won’t, as he is apparently in the tank for him.)
— Mark R. Levin served as chief of staff to Attorney General Edwin Meese in the Reagan administration, and he is a nationally syndicated radio talk show host.
The Pakastani strong man appears to be grasping at straws to maintain any popular support for his continued existence in this world.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan – Despite the growing threat from Islamic extremists, President Pervez Musharraf said U.S. troops are not welcome to join the fight against al-Qaida on Pakistani soil.
Musharraf warned in an interview published Friday that Pakistan would resist any unilateral military action by the United States against militants sheltering in its lawless, tribal regions close to the Afghan border.
“I challenge anybody coming into our mountains,” he told Singapore’s The Straits Times in the interview, notable for its unusually strident language. “They would regret that day.”

Get a clue fearless leader. Without western support, you are just another piece of infidel meat. Your nation is factionalized beyond belief, and that’s not even counting the Tali-ban / al Qaeda coalition that want your head on a stick. You should be begging for American and British Empire Special Forces to come to Pakistan, and do what they do best. Personally, I hope that they do stay out of your hell hole, at least until you have been removed from the Chessboard of life. After that? Then they will have no reason at all not to hunt down the terrorist’s.
I stumbled across this while web surfing today. It is a take off from something that I was told as a child and the message is still important today, if not more so. All to often, men simply act in what they perceive to be in their best interest for the moment. Never bothering to look past what is directly in front of their noses.
Now, one might believe that this is simply a function of youth and inexperience. If that were so then people like John McCain and Fred Thompson wouldn’t say or do some of the stupid things that they do. Rather, they are the ones that are subtly building the fence.
CHILD SOLDIERS – Slavery of the Worst Kind – Part 3 of 4 « AfricaRights
I would urge all of my readers to follow the link and read the entire piece. From the Matabele’ to the Viet Cong ad-nauseaum forced recruitment of children has been going on seemingly forever all over the world. Why is it that the people that engage in this sort of thing are always despots?
This is a short movie thanking those that serve America in the Armed Forces.
Numerous Veterans aid organizations received failing grades recently. Wounded Warriors was not on the list at all, nor were many of the newer groups seeking to assist our military personnel that are returning to a somewhat hostile nation that they served to the best of their ability. No, it’s not like it was post Viet Nam, but it is a disgrace, and a national dishonor that Veterans are not treated with a solem degree of respect. They don’t want a parade, nor butt kissing. Just respect for having done what their nation asked of them. Hooha Hooha! We love and respect all of you!

Veterans Charities – How They Fared
EDIT TO ADD 12-14-07: Mr. Jay Agg, National Communications Director for AMVETS, has contacted me personally and has posted a comment in this thread, I want to thank Mr. Agg for his response and I also want my readers to know, Jay has been the only official from the list of charities receiving an ‘F’ that I have heard from on this matter…To the gentleman from Alaska that keeps trying to post figures and so forth about the PVA, you’re NOT an official of PVA and your link to Fishing in Alaska or whatever it is, is the reason I am not letting your comments thru, I detect a bit of commercialism on your part, if you want to see the PVA’s viewpoint on this blog, have THEM contact me and have them submit their comments, facts and figures from an official site and an official position like Mr. Agg did…
EDIT TO ADD 12-13-07: I have sent emails to all sites that garnered an ‘F’ in this report, 3 of the site had no email available and one was returned as undeliverable, no mail there I guessHere are the figures on how well some of the Veterans Charities are doing on a grading level, I am shocked at the grades received by several of these highly regarded charities, this is truly a disgusting situation and I hope this list and the story just below will wake a few folks up…How many of you have the guts to re-post this list and the story below?? How many are going to take the stance of the Bush Bots and just blow it off and say all is well??
The American Institute of Philanthropy, a leading charity watchdog, issued a report card this month for 29 veterans and military charities. Letter grades were based largely on the charities’ fundraising costs and the percentage of money raised that was spent on charitable activities.

Gay Gen. Keith Kerr is NOT a General at all! « Right Wing Dog
So, apparently we have had yet another poser get national attention. Most of us could care less whether he is gay or not. The fact that he lied does disturb a lot of us though. I thought something was up when he said two different amounts of years of service. Not to mention him rattling off all the courses that he supposedly attended during his time in the military.
