Making The U.S. Military Submit To Shariah Afghanistan policies encourage more attacks By Frank J. Gaffney Jr. American servicemen are being killed in Afghanistan at an accelerating rate by Afghans who ostensibly are their allies. These attacks have been dubbed "green-on-blue" incidents, an antiseptic and deliberately mild way of describing the treachery of Muslim natives .... "red team" analysis suggested that the problem is, as its title suggests, "A Crisis of Trust and Cultural Incompatibility." It found, based on extensive interviews with U.S. and NATO troops, that practices inspired by, condoned or even mandatory under the brutally repressive Islamist doctrine...

The north/ne flow of the gulf strean has shut down as of 20 October 2009. This has never happened before in the modern record.

A thorough and entertaining refutation of the "settled science" of global warming.

AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) ― There is new hope for patients diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer. There's a new treatment being studied in Colorado and it has already cured one patient. Most patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die from it, but a national clinical trial has left Richard Jordan, from Fort Collins, cancer free. Jordan has defied the odds. Just over a year ago, he was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer -- the tumor was choking a major blood vessel. "You usually don't last more than six months," Jordan said. Doctors at the University of Colorado Cancer Center offered some hope....

Cardiologists say Vice President Dick Cheney's episode of irregular heart rhythm will not likely affect his immediate health, but the condition could point to a worsening of his continuing heart problems....

Red glow in rocks. Sure looks warm.

Tuesday, September 14, 2004 The End The Washington Post has run an article which practically humiliates CBS and Dan Rather. It begins with a repudiation of the Killian memos by the 60 Minutes chief document expert, Marcel Matley. The Post then pronounces on the documents themselves: they are fake. A detailed comparison by The Washington Post of memos obtained by CBS News with authenticated documents on Bush's National Guard service reveals dozens of inconsistencies, ranging from conflicting military terminology to different word-processing techniques. The analysis shows that half a dozen Killian memos released earlier by the military were written with...

The U.S. decision to employ nuclear weapons against Japan at the end of World War II was justified on two grounds: 1. It would save American lives. 2. It would shorten the war.

Snyder is the real problem with the Washington Redskins, and it's a problem no coaching change or roster move will fix. For the Redskins to become a better team, Snyder has to become a better owner.

NPR says suburban Virginia residents would be afraid to go into DC if restrictive gun laws were to be lifted, as now proposed in pending Senate bill.

From: Purcell, Philip J. [mailto:Philip.J.Purcell@msdw.com] Sent: Friday, February 09, 2001 9:37 PM To: Subject: Your Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Inquiry Thank you for your e-mail message. I fully understand why you are upset that former President Clinton spoke at one of our conferences. We clearly made a mistake. First, the decision did not receive the proper review within the firm. And second, we should have been far more sensitive to the strong feelings of our clients over Mr. Clinton's personal behavior as President. In the past, we have heard from Presidents Reagan and Bush at our conferences, as well as ...

CNN just showed a video of the hand counting underway in Palm Beach County. It clearly showed a woman impressing her large thumbnail on a ballot. Such an action could and may have altered the ballot. This is direct evidence of ballot tampering.

THE UNITED States lacks a serious energy policy, one that promises over time to produce a reasonable match between presumably finite supplies and steadily rising demand. The failure to enact such a policy has been thoroughly bipartisan. Neither party when in power and neither elected branch of government has wanted to impose the discipline that a sensible policy requires. That's the context in which, as Election Day approaches, the presidential candidates are now arguing about responsibility for the rising price of oil. Al Gore made a speech yesterday in which he did little more than flail at the oil industry ...

Al Gore and Jane Fonda stared with amazement at the .303 inch door to eternity. "What's the deal here?" said Al, "I was in the middle of telling the American people what a good idea I have for them." Sorry Al, I said, but I have made a deal with the devil and you two are my price. Now I will count to ... 2000 ... and then I'm hunting you like the vermin you are. "This is not fair!" said Jane. "I have already said I was sorry, plus I've served my time in hell already, with Ted!" Sorry, ...

Steamboat geyser had a major eruption this morning. Its first since October 2, 1991. The eruption occurred at about 5:00 am. A couple sleeping in their car in the parking lot were awakened at about that time by what they thought was an erathquake. Frightened, they drove south. They realized their mistake when they saw the large steam cloud from while driveing through Elk Park. The following report is from Paul Strasser: Here's what I was able to glean after talking with several NPS folks: The 0500 time is based on visitors who were "dozing" in the parking lot. Apparently ...
