Great post.!

So accurate, the surrender mode the rat/media have near successfully portrayed is truly a made-up event and hopefully, sooner rather than later, more Americans will see right through it.

[rodguy911]

Exactly it’s like kabar said last week the dems have already made up their mind no matter what happens with the surge or anything else.Their mantra is all ready to print in the tombs of the msm/rat media.

That one of the things that is getting lost in the DC Noise storm on Iraq.

The Democrat leadership is losing ground on Iraq.

In may the Republicans did not even have the guts to fillbuster. This time they did. The Democrats support is weakening in DC, not growing. The more they posture and the more they cater to their lunatic fringe base, the less chance they have of passing anything. The political momentum here is working against the Democrats, not for them.

[rodguy911]

Exactly, brilliant post, they are suffering from the Pinocchio syndrome and they keep on telling them hoping one will score. Problem is all it does it make their noses grow and any credibility much harder to explain even by the DBM which is only another word for DNC.

[MNJohnnie]

Really? Did Dick happen to explain how come they got their vote on their bill in May but the Repbs feel politically secure enough to filibuster now?

Seems Dick, like most of the Senile Senator Club, cannot count votes. That indicates the political movement is AGAINST Dick’ position on Iraq, not for it.

[CDB]

Thanks, Rodguy, and thenk you for all of your fantastic work with last week’s winners. Glad to see that you’re back, on-line and Freeping.

[rodguy911]

Worse yet they can’t answer direct questions!! Sometimes my head goes into over-spin when I hear the answers some of the surrendercrats give, often have no relationship at all to the questions asked!!

[rodguy911]

My pleasure CDB, but true thanks goes to all who freeped. even though the thread was short by our standards there were very few posts that could be ignored, lots of thought went into many remarks last week,and this week is coming around as well.

[rodguy911]

Buffet at Barnhills is calling,and calling and calling!!

[MNJohnnie]

Yep and that is why they will not go on any talk radio shows or Fox news shows. Only with their lap dog media can they count on the “Journalists” simply allowing them to get away with those non response mini fillibusters.

Yes, Michael Yon is a treasure.

In the history repeats itself category, I ran across a story in an 1885 rural newspaper “ Khartoum entered by El Mahdi forces...”, where the popular English General Gordon died, so I checked the reference on Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Khartoum

Siege of Khartoum
From Wikipedia
Part of The Mahdist War
(War of the Sudan)

Date March 12, 1884 – January 26, 1885
Location Khartoum, Sudan
Result Mahdist victory
Combatants
United Kingdom
Egypt Mahdist Sudan
Commanders
Charles George Gordon† Muhammad Ahmad
Strength
7,000 Egyptian troops 50,000 warriors
Casualties
Entire garrison killed
Battles of the Mahdist War

“The Battle of Khartoum or Siege of Khartoum lasted from March 12, 1884 to January 26, 1885. It was fought in and around Khartoum between Egyptian forces led by British General Charles George Gordon and a Mahdist Sudanese army led by the Mahdi Muhammad Ahmad. Khartoum was besieged by the Mahdists and defended by a garrison of 7,000 Egyptian and loyal Sudanese troops. After a ten-month siege the Mahdists finally broke into the city and the entire garrison was killed.”

“On his way to Khartoum, with his assistant Colonel Stewart, Gordon stopped in Berber to address an assembly of tribal chiefs. Here he made one cardinal mistake by revealing that the Egyptian government wished to withdraw from Sudan. The tribesmen became worried by this news, and their loyalty wavered.[5]”

---

Long story, which causes hair to rise on arms as I read it, General Gordon tried appeasement, mentioned withdrawal, and in the end the entire army under siege was killed by the Sudanese Mahdi army.

Anita, I’ve not done anything to my blog, but the post of your nuggets finally showed up. it’s at

C-span has a fascinating interview by a Wapo correspondant and a CA professor who wrote Perfect Spy. You wouldn't believe it without seeing it. The big news is that this Viet Cong spy worked for Time magazine and all of the American journalists relied on him.

There is no consideration of how that colored the news we got. The whole conversation is a justification for the spin of the anti war movement that we were interfering on the wrong side of a nationalistic civil war.

This is an important post and the truth of it must be widely distributed.  The reference is to Pham Xuan An, a North Vietnamese Intelligence Colonel who worked for Reuters and Time Magazine as a correspondent during the war.  The West may be quick to forget how they were betrayed, but the rest of the world has been studying our failures with single minded devotion, particularly folks like Al Qaeda.  I would bet that upwards of 75% of "reporters" covering the middle east are at the least friendly to Al Qaeda and the other Jihadis.  Those that aren't friendly enough are simply killed, and the west does nothing about it, including the journalists.

Sheeple that they are.

“legendary on FR”?

Not only on FR. Bad British teeth are a universal theme in deprecating the British. It was, after all, a major subtext of that film masterpiece “Austin Powers”

True art reflects greater truths. Just like everything in that movie it was exactly accurate. Including the FemBots. I have one of them in the closet. I only bring it out for special occasions.

(I trust you realize how firmly my tongue was pushing against my cheek, don’t you?)

Thanks Starwise, you are a patriot.

The last great victory for the Dim Party was when our helicopters were evacuating the Saigon Embassy. They are having a harder time getting that victory in Iraq thanks to the stubborness of President George W Bush.

I find it more that a little ironic that Harry Reid attempted using sleep deprivation in an attempt to break the Republican's will. I thought SD was torture. So, Harry Reid was willing to use a tactic against his fellow Senators that he is not willing to allow US interrogators to use against people who would like to blow US to bits.

And if the Republican Party had any members with a set of them, they would be making this point over and over and over again.

The beauty of the predators is that they fly as the crow flies and do not require cumbersome supply trains. I think it is truly a technological innovation that will be noted by history because it negates the huge advantage guerrilas have had in going into mountains. That is probably why there is outrage round the world when we use them. It’s just not fair. /s

Just wait until the military deploys and then arms the currently under development ISIS airships.

Remember that the Predator was originally a recon drone.  Think of an "all seeing" airship up above the envelope of all but the most sophisticated air defense systems.  Then put simple smart weapons on board that can be dropped on detected enemy movements or encampments.  Pretty amazing possibilities.
