Save Jill ! .... and a possible solution....Source Save Jill I would like to introduce to you a new member of the Dr. Phat Tony family. This is Jill. Jill is 3 ½ weeks old, and probably one of the cutest things ever. Unfortunately Jill is in a fight for her life and she doesn’t even know it. I’ve tried to explain the rules of the house to Jill, but I doubt she understands them. There are a few rules at casa de Phat Tony’s. One rule is, you have to be of use to live with me. Unfortunately, as...

March 12, 2006  The Last Village in Iraq TAWELA, IRAQ – The village of Biara sits right on top of the Iranian border. But you can keep going further up the road, still higher into the rugged Kurdistan mountains, to the village of Tawela where you can see the Iranian gate.  The Kurdish highlands feel so far away from the Mesopotamiam plains down below. Surely this is one of the reasons Iraqi Kurds and Arabs look at each across an enormous cultural divide. They share the same religion and they share the same passport. But they live in different...

Source Bush Nominates Harriet Miers As Dubai Ports "US Entity" By a4gPoint Five Staff Writer @ 6:21 pm The decision by Dubai Ports World to hand over control of port terminals within the United State to a US entity has cooled a political firestorm that surrounded the Bush Administration. The move, largely believed to have been engineered by the Administration to stave off inevitable Congressional action, was announced Thursday. Point Five has learned through its exclusive sources that the “entity” that Dubai Ports World will transfer control to, at the behest of President Bush, is none other than former...

  March 09, 2006 Zarqawi Was Here BIARA, IRAQ – The PUK’s Minister of the Interior ordered 20 heavily armed Peshmerga soldiers to go with me to the borderland mountain village of Biara. For years the village was occupied by Ansar Al Islam, the Kurdish-Arab-Persian branch of Al Qaeda in Northern Iraq. Biara wasn’t the only village seized by the Taliban of Mesopotamia, but it was perhaps the most important. It is there that the Jordanian-born Abu Musab al-Zarqawi had his last stand in Iraqi Kurdistan before the 2003 US-led invasion forced him out.My Peshmerga weren’t really necessary. I...

<p>Frustrated by repeated leaks and contrarian policies, the Bush administration must be wondering how it can fight a two-front war: one front abroad, in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and elsewhere in the world, fighting against jihadis... and the other domestically, against the Central Intelligence Agency, which has consistently demonstrated its determination not only to support but to control foreign policy.</p>

  Here’s an email from one of the West Point gang… on the ground in Iraq. You’ll note, of course, that it reflects a slightly different perspective than what is being reported in the MSM. -SG -----Original Message----- From: carl.@us.army.mil Sent: Saturday, March 04, 2006 7:47 AM To: Subject: Taji 4 Mar Sorry I haven't written in awhile, but we've been through a very busy and productive period here with the 2nd Brigade, 9th Division. Despite the continuing death and destruction, I am becoming more and more confident that the Iraqi Army will do its part to make Iraq peaceful...

Monday, March 06, 2006 Mortars were louder than reason in Baghdad today... We woke up this morning to the sounds of many explosions in Baghdad and since we are familiar with those sounds we recognized that these were no doubt mortar shelling but not like the usual which is one or two rounds fired by some terrorists in a hit and run manner; this time fire was exchanged between two or more groups and lasted for more than an hour. Mortars are blind and whoever uses this kind of dumb weapon that belongs to WWI is blind too. Maybe...

Bush Afghan Trip More Evidence of Secretive StyleBy a4gPoint Five Staff Writer @ 5:28 pm President Bush made a surprise visit to Afghanistan early Wednesday,catching reporters by surprise as they waited on the tarmac in India. The trip marks the first for a US President since Eisenhower. Several correspondents with top cable news organizations, stranded in India, were miffed at the unannounced change of plans, one reporter noting “I’ve got a whole crew here, set up for a satellite remote, and Bush treats this trip like it’s all about him.”Top Democrat Howard Dean, was quick to point out the detour...

CBS Poll Puts Bush Approval At Negative Bazillion By a4gPoint Five Staff Writer @ 10:04 am Analysts believe Bush reelection “virtually impossible” Point Five’s source at CBS said that he “felt terrible” about having to report the President’s dismal approval. He spoke to us on condition of anonymity. A new poll released Monday shows a startling slip for the President’s approval rating, dipping to a all-time low of “negative one bazillion”, according to a CBS News press release. The survey, conducted among not just likely voters but “adults”, also included a representative sampling of hillbillies, senators, small appliances and...

Bush Finds Cheap, Renewable, Non-Addictive Energy Source By Red Square2/13/2006, 4:34 pm Inspired by President Bush's new initiative to switch from "addictive oil" to less addictive, healthier energy sources, a team of crack researchers at the Halliburton labs have discovered a new powerful source of energy that is cheaper and more reliable than wind, water, or ethanol - and is widely available in the United States.The new power-generating technology, dubbed "People Power" utilizes the metaphysical energy of the revolutionary masses (also known as "hatred of capitalist pigs"), extracting progressive energy from highly charged individuals, and converting the "discharge" into...

A company in the United Arab Emirates is poised to take over significant operations at six American ports as part of a corporate sale, leaving a country with ties to the September 11 hijackers with influence over a maritime industry considered vulnerable to terrorism.

   For Mohammad, Heaven A Lonely PlaceBy a4gPoint Five Staff Writer @ 3:08 pm Despite throngs of followers, few willing to join him in paradise. Mohammad stands alone in paradise. An ill-advised prohibition against idolatry has left faithful followers unable to recognize his face.   A Point Five special report:Part seven in the Conversations series. HEAVEN - There’s a large sign above the gates of heaven that says, “All who seek comfort are welcome here”. But for Mohammad, heaven is a lonely place.“I look at Jesus, and he’s surrounded with followers. A rock star. Oh Allah, what a fool I...

Max Boot: Pentagon orders the wrong weapons By MAX BOOT Commentary THE DEFENSE Department released two important documents in the last few days — the Quadrennial Defense Review and the Defense budget for fiscal year 2007. Unfortunately, they seem to be diametrically at odds with one another. The QDR — a major overhaul of defense strategy — calls for moving beyond a military configured exclusively for fighting mirror-image adversaries. “In the post-Sept. 11 world, irregular warfare has emerged as the dominant form of warfare confronting the United States, its allies and partners,” the QDR states. To win what the QDR...

Muslims must ask, ‘What would Muhammad do?’ By JAMIL MOMAND Commentary I SAT ON the carpet listening to the sermon at an L.A. mosque. The topic was expected and familiar: a denunciation of the publication of the offensive cartoons that have had the Muslim world up in arms. I directed my eyes to the carpet so no one could see the disgusted look on my face. “Not again,” I thought. “Don’t we Muslims ever get tired of complaining?” The khateeb (the person delivering the sermon) stated that it was not right that Islam was the target of abuse. He said...

February 09, 2006 Iran Ratchets Up Cartoon War As if things were not heated enough, the stakes in the ongoing "cartoon conflict" have now exploded to a fever pitch with Iran's recent decision to rename the dog breed "Great Dane" to "Jesus's  Momma".   This move comes on the heels of that same country's renaming of "danishes" to "Mohammaden pastries", and is expected by many experts to have roughly the same impact on world opinion as the new David Hasselhof video.Although Iran is receiving a good deal of attention for these current changes, they have a long history of redubbing various...

NY Times: No Need To Show Images Of King FuneralBy a4gPoint Five Staff Writer @ 10:48 am   Coretta Scott King, who would normally be pictured here as a reasonable visual accompaniment to this story, was laid to rest on Tuesday, after a funeral attended by family and dignitaries. To respect the sensibilities of that segment of our readership consumed with hate-filled, vile racist beliefs, we’ve refrained from publishing a picture of a black woman, although to describe her as “black” does a disservice to the rainbow of color choices available in the spectrum, the Pantone standards containing several hundred...

February 08, 2006 Carter Kills At King Service  While the funeral of the "first lady of the civil rights movement", Coretta Scott King, could have been a dour affair it turned out to be quite the opposite thanks to a stirring eulogy by former President Jimmy Carter.   Following is a transcript of Carter's speech: Jimmy Carter: Good evening ladies and germs it's great to be here in Atlanta again. I just flew in from Venezuela and boy are my arms tired.Audience: (laughter)Jimmy Carter: Or was it Cuba? Let's see today is Tuesday so it must have been... oh never mind....

West Bank Protest Delayed By Lengthy Search For Danish Flag To Burn An angry protest in the West Bank over an unflattering cartoon of the prophet Mohammed was extensively delayed today when the angry mob realized they had no idea what the flag of Denmark looked like or where to find one. Indeed, while flag burnings are as common as random gunfire in the West Bank, this marked the first burning of the Danish Flag, according to Qasim Batkela, a local historian who keeps copious documentation of all flag burnings, and presents a popular slide show each quarter to West...

  Islam's Struggle Against Cartoon Terrorism By Propaganda Department2/6/2006, 11:13 am Western terror labs have finally produced a weapon so horrific that it has shaken Islamic world to the core, making over a billion people from Morocco to Indonesia fear for the survival of their freedoms, morals, beliefs, cultures, governments, and the very life itself. The new weapon of terror, the so-called "Cartoon," is capable of delivering an equivalent of one million Hiroshima bombs, resulting in a horrendous mass destruction like none seen on Earth before.Ahmed Jihad of the Soros-funded charity Make Bombs, Not Cartoons sadly stated that "This is...
