The New Democratic Iraq Born!

No more 99.99 % in Iraq!
This is the figure of the Arabs' dictators except Saddam!
He used to get 100%!


Surprisingly those who voted for the master of the mass graves are abstaining now!

Our voting is:
No to the terrorists!
No to the dictatorships!
No to hate and racism!
No to the fascists!
No to the Nazis!
No to the mentally retarded tyrants!
No to the ossified, narrow-minded and intolerants!

The Iraqis are voting in few hours time for the new Iraq.

We are going to create our future by ourselves not by dictators.

We are going to say:
Yes for the freedom and democracy!
Yes for the civilized Iraq!
Yes for peace and prosperity!
Yes for coexistence!
Yes for the New Iraq!

Let them bomb and kill us. It will not deter us!
Let them send their dogs to suck our bones. We care not!
Let them bark. It will not frighten us.
Let them see how civilised to be free and democratic!
Let them die by our vote tomorrow! It is the magic bullet which will kill them!

Welcome New Iraq.
Welcome freedom and democracy.
Welcome peace and prosperity for all nations with out exception but terrorists!

Praise the Lord!!

Freedom rings through the land
of despot kings of darkness and
death a new voice sings
and the bells of joy peal out
and ring freedom for all




The lines of people waiting to vote are exciting to watch.

"Intelligence gathering, something the Liberals need to learn about."

President Washington had a fund of one million dollars at his disposal for intelligence purposes, a truly vast sum in those days. Making a guess using Web sources, the 1790 $1,000,000 is something like $700,000,000 today. These numbers are very broad estimates, to be sure. Still, we are looking at the yearly cash income of something like a million citizens.

Nowadays this sort of expenditure would be called "bribery". May I ask, how are you going to develop foreign intelligence without the cooperation of foreigners? Do you figure that foreigners will run terrible risks for their whole families because they just "love" the United States so much? Fat chance, hey?

Now, sizable cash payments, those work quite often.

You want somebody to do something that you want, you have to do something that he wants. Either that, or both he, and you, make the transaction out of love, or, if otherwise, through violence or the threat of violence. There are no other ways.

I have been watching the President's foreign policy very closely since I finally (slow cuss, that I am) saw how it worked in September 2002. This election is timed beautifully, and the whole affair is running nicely.

The business is not over yet, not by a long shot. Already, though, there are very important changes in the international scene. Last summer the Chinese went suddenly from calling George W. Bush the greatest American statesman since Ronald Reagan to screaming about whatever the American liberals were screaming about that day - panties worn as a hat and similar "torture", etc. The Chinese had finally figured out that this Iraq - Middle East affair is also aimed at THEM. The Russians have long since seen what it means for them, they saw it right away, smart cookies. The French are going to get the drubbing they deserve. China will have to cooperate over North Korea, stop making anything but verbal threats over Taiwan, and a a bunch of other stuff.

Some of the steps coming up won't be liked by some folks here at the Foxhole, particularly changes in relations with Russia. The Russians are about angry enough with the French and Germans to hold their noses and cooperate with the United States. This will make "negotiation" with China bloodless, I hope.

Did some work on Stalingrad about 1990-95. The Germans could have won very easily. The Russians were supplied by railroad from the north along one rail line. A fall back in the center, envelope both wings, cut the railroads, encircle. Have to abandon the city, of course, and Hitler refused to do that. What a fool.

Very cool map, actual Russian from 1941 of the Stalingrad area. Worth the download for me on my telephone connection. Railroads are two parallel lines, the symbol we use for a secondary road. Notice the lines are straight with wide radius turns - railroads.
