I SHOULD Feel Bad
US soldier kills Afghan civilians in Kandahar
A US soldier in Afghanistan has killed at least 16 civilians and wounded five after entering their homes in Kandahar province, senior local officials say.
He left his military base in the early hours of the morning and opened fire in at least two homes; women and children were among the dead.
Nato said it was investigating the “deeply regrettable incident”.
Anti-US sentiment is already high in Afghanistan after US soldiers burnt copies of the Koran last month.
US officials have apologised repeatedly for the incident at a Nato base in Kabul, but they failed to quell a series of protests and attacks that killed at least 30 people and six US troops.
Yep…I really should feel bad about this incident, but right now, I just don’t. I’m sorry kids were killed, but then, there were children murdered on 9/11, and many more since then. What is truly regrettable is the fact we still have troops in that 7th century, backwood country. What is even more regrettable is the numerous apologies for doing something those people do all the time….trash their so called ‘holy book’.
Local people have reportedly gathered near the base in Panjwai district to protest about Sunday’s killings, and the US embassy is advising against travel to the area.
Lt Gen Adrian Bradshaw, deputy commander of Nato-led forces, said he was unable to “explain the motivation behind such callous acts”, adding that “our thoughts and prayers are with those caught in this tragedy”.
I’m still waiting for the apologies to the families of the U.S. and NATO personnel that were murdered by the Afghans over the burning incident. Haven’t heard that yet, have we? Did I miss it? Has that so called CiC made any effort to reach out to their families? Or, is it just the ‘sluts’ of the Dem party that get support from that fake?
I don’t know why the soldier went off on the ‘civilians’. It’s regrettable that any of our men and women in uniform have to suffer from so much internal pain caused, in large part, by the lack of back up from their own government. Remove our troops, and bomb the SOBs back into their caves. Not a one of them deserve the treasure we have spent to free them from the oppressive Islamic regime. They evidently don’t want liberty, and our government has the audacity to actually ‘negotiate’ with the animals? NO MORE! We have had enough of this BS! When you go to war, you go to win! You do NOT go to make friends, win hearts and minds. You totally destroy your enemy! Let them be destroyed!
TSA At It Again
TSA: Hawaii agent made mistake about breast pump
The Transportation Security Administration in Hawaii says an agent was wrong to tell a nursing mother she couldn’t board an airplane with her breast pump.
The TSA tells KITV the agent at the Kauai airport mistakenly told Amy Strand she could only bring the pump onboard if the bottles contained milk.
She was allowed to board after pumping in a bathroom and showing the full bottles to the agent. Strand was traveling home to Maui with her 9-month-old daughter Wednesday when her pump raised questions during screening.
She asked for a private place to pump and was told to go to the women’s restroom. Strand says the only outlet was next to a sink facing a wall of mirrors, so she had to stand in front of others.
I’m not seeing anywhere that this moron was canned. Wonder why that is? Oh…that’s right….they all work for the gubmint and they can do anything they damn well please, and actually get away with it. Oh…some have been canned for stealing from the passengers, but otherwise…. Yep…they can physically and sexually assault you. The can make a young mother pump her breast milk, in a public restroom, so anyone coming in or going out will be able to watch her. Where were the mirrors located? Were they in a location where they could be seen from outside any time the door opened?
The TSA has gone far beyond their scope of authority. Instead of targeting those who WOULD do harm, they molest little children, grandmothers, and from some things I’ve read, busty and attractive women. Does no one see a problem here? Apparently, the broad in charge doesn’t. The continuous 4th Amendment violations by a government agency is just peachy keen for her.
The “Vistitor”
Don’t you people have something better to do? I dunno…like maybe YOUR JOB?
Isn’t the purpose of DHS to keep the homeland safe? Well, y’all are failing miserably. The border is NOT safer and we have criminals sneaking in on a regular basis. So, instead of snooping conservative bloggers, how ’bout y’all get up off your collective hind ends, and get the damn criminals OUT of the country, and stop the terrorists from invading! They really DO want to kill us y’know, and I’d be mighty grateful if y’all could put a stop to their entering through both the northern and southern borders! I have a great grandson on the way, and I’d really like to know he will be entering a safer nation. Of course, I know that isn’t going to happen. Why? Because y’all can’t be bothered to protect our borders. sigh….
Oh, and I’m quite aware y’all pop by at least once a month. Nothing has changed on this end. Any changes on your’s? Naw…didn’t think so. I sure will be glad when we finally get a REAL DHS after 1/20/13!
Throw Out The Garbage…..NOW!
Feds arrest man heading to U.S. Capitol for suicide mission after sting investigation
Authorities have arrested a man on his way to the U.S. Capitol for what he thought would be a suicide attack on one of the nation’s most symbolic landmarks, Fox News has learned exclusively.
The man, in his 30s and of Moroccan descent, was nabbed following a lengthy investigation by the FBI, initiated after he expressed interest in conducting an attack. It’s unclear how the FBI learned of his aspirations.
The man thought undercover FBI agents assisting him in his plot were associates of Al Qaeda.
When he was arrested Friday in Washington, he was carrying with him a vest supposedly packed with explosives, but the material inside was not actually dangerous, Fox News was told.
A short time earlier, he had been praying at a mosque in the Washington area. His destination was Capitol Hill.
The public was never in danger, as he had been under constant surveillance for some time.
When are we going to throw the trash out? Kind of fed up with the Feds playing footsie with would be murderous pedophile worshiping islamonazis! Am I a bigot? Don’t care! I’m completely sick of these animals who come into our country, wanting to destroy it, from the inside out. Let them go blow themselves up in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, or any other muzzie country! As far as I’m concerned, they are NOT welcome!
Another Battle Lost To The Islamonazis
CAIR pressures retired general, critic of Islam, to back out of West Point event
The Council on American-Islamic Relations announced Monday night that it had successfully prevented retired Lieutenant General William G. “Jerry” Boykin from speaking at an upcoming prayer breakfast at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
“We welcome Mr. Boykin’s withdrawal from this event and hope that the speaker who replaces him will offer cadets a spiritual message that promotes tolerance and mutual understanding,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad in a statement.
When are we going to stop bowing to this terrorist front group????
West Point initially balked at the calls to remove Boykin — a former military intelligence officer — from the event.
Lt. Col. Sherri Reed of West Point told The Associated Press that cadets are “purposefully exposed to different perspectives and cultures.”
I can well understand why our future military officers would be exposed to “different perspectives and cultures”. Wasn’t it Sun Tzu who said “Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster.” Since we ARE fighting against Islam, who declared war on us a long time ago, our young men and women need to know all they can about the ‘enemy’.
“The National Prayer Breakfast Service will be pluralistic with Christians, Jewish, and Muslim cadets participating,” Reed said. “We are comfortable and confident that what retired Lt. Gen. Boykin will share about prayer, soldier care and selfless service, will be in keeping with the broad range of ideas normally considered by our cadets.”
I’d really like to know why there are Muslims at West Point, and in our military in the first place. Would FDR have allowed Nazis to sign up? Would West Point have accepted Brown Shirts? I see no difference in the two! Muslims were allies of the Nazis, and yet, here we are, trying to suck up to a group that would see our demise.
CAIR and the group VoteVets.org pushed hard for a retraction of Boykin’s invitation to the event due to his “Islamophobic” views.
CAIR and People For the American Way failed to stop a speech Boykin gave in Ocean City, Md., last week. This week it seems they have been successful.
I am completely disgusted that this Lt General would cave to the enemy since they evidently failed from intimidating him previously. Muslims and socialists working together to silence him, and many others, should give EVERYONE pause!
They Are STILL Heroes!
Allen West on the Marines Incident: ‘Shut Your Mouth, War Is Hell’
“I have sat back and assessed the incident with the video of our Marines urinating on Taliban corpses. I do not recall any self-righteous indignation when our Delta snipers Shugart and Gordon had their bodies dragged through Mogadishu. Neither do I recall media outrage and condemnation of our Blackwater security contractors being killed, their bodies burned, and hung from a bridge in Fallujah.
“All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?
“The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.
“As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.”
EXACTLY!
I’d really appreciate it if our government officials would stop whining, quit kowtowing, and knock off the ‘we’re so sorry’ for any and every little thing. This is a freakin’ war. WAR! This trash are killing our young men and women, and honestly, I wouldn’t walk across the street to whiz on a one of ‘em if they were on fire. They do not deserve any respect, dead or alive!
Gitmo Protesters Want Americans To Die
Guantanamo Ten Years Later
The Foundry
His plan was to rip apart nightclubs with explosives, unleash a wave of destruction on bridges, and open fire on police officers–all in sunny Florida. This was the murderous intent of Sami Osmakac, 25, an American citizen from the former Yugoslavia who was determined to spill blood, foment destruction, and bring terror to the United States all in the name of Allah. Fortunately, undercover FBI agents thwarted his efforts, making this the 44th foiled terrorist plot against America.
Osmakac’s plot is a not-so-subtle reminder that terrorists lurk not only in the caves of Afghanistan or in the wilds of Africa but also inhabit our backyard, bringing their “holy war” of terror to our shores and our cities. While terrorists continue to conspire to strike the United States, the men and women of our military and intelligence community keep up their fight as well, striving to protect our homeland, identify enemies, gather intelligence, and prevent attacks. Law enforcement is an important component of that effort, but so too is the military’s ability to detain dangerous enemy combatants, as it has at the Guantanamo Bay facility for the past ten years.
The Gutting Of Our Defense
A Hollow US Military
by J. D. Longstreet
If the President and the Congress are able to realize their plans for the US military, it will leave American with, as the title to this piece suggests, a hollow force. It will also place America in a great deal of danger because our military will be a great deal smaller in numbers of troops.
Think about that for a moment. Not only will our military lose so much of its war fighting materiel, it will lose many thousands of troops. That’s bad enough but there is something else — and no one seems concerned about it.
You see, when the military cutbacks come, we will lose the experience of troops who have actually been on the battlefield, who have actually looked the enemy in the eye, who have dealt with the pain of taking another human being’s life, and the deep abiding pain of losing a friend or companion in battle, who have fought the fight and lived to tell about it. BUT – they will not be available to train the raw recruits that will always be necessary to keep the much smaller fighting force flush with young, robust, well-trained fighting men.
Everything, these days, seems to have a price in dollars and cents. Not experience. The value of experienced combat soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines is inestimable. It also holds true, not just for enlistees, but for officers as well — mustangs and academy graduates, alike. Experienced officers are a must for a military to even consider executing a victorious military campaign. Book knowledge is absolutely necessary but it can’t hold a candle to experience on the battlefield.
For a country to gut it’s military during a time of war, and yes, we are in a war on several fronts, is not only insane, but extremely dangerous! You can call what is going on around the world isolated incidents by radical Islamists, but the truth is…they aren’t all that isolated, and they aren’t just ‘radicals’. They are Muslims, plain and simple! Just a few examples of those isolated incidents for the 9th and 10th of January, courtesy of “The Religion of Peace“:
2012.01.10 (Yathreb, Iraq) – Three schoolboys between the ages of 9 and 11 are dismantled by ‘insurgents’ while walking to school.
2012.01.10 (Jamrud, Pakistan) – Three dozen people waiting in line at a gas station are torn to pieces by Islamist bombers.
2012.01.10 (Sharan, Afghanistan) – Civilians and guards are killed during an assault on a telecommunications building by suicidal Fedayeen..
2012.01.09 (Baghdad, Iraq) – Sunni bombers detonate a car bomb at a Shiite mosque, killing five.
2012.01.09 (Baghdad, Iraq) – At least seven people at a market are blown to bits by Jihadi car bombers.
2012.01.09 (Dabori, Pakistan) – The bodies of ten local troops, abducted during a Taliban raid, are found brutally beheaded.
The day isn’t over yet! And how many so called ‘honor killings‘ have we had right here in the U.S. of A.? Not to mention the OBVIOUS terror attack on a U.S. military base, the shooting of recruiters, the attempted bombing by the ‘crotch bomber‘, the attempt at Ft Dix, the incident in Florida within the last few days, and the list goes on and on.
Are you aware that the difference in the numbers of males and females in Muslim countries is extremely dramatic?
Yet, the Obama administration thinks it’s a good idea to ‘save money’ by gutting our military. Calling him the Commander in Chief is beyond laughable, but it reality, he is one very dangerous man/child, and we are ALL put in danger by his actions. If he truly wanted to ‘save money’, he’d stop creating more bureaucratic BS! And perhaps, he could pay back the taxpayers for all those luxury trips he and the ‘queen’ have taken. There are MANY ways for the government to cut spending, but the military isn’t one of them!
Do we really want to become a third world nation, allow our borders to continue to be breached, and allow a total takeover of the rest of the world by a theocratic dictatorship, and see even more blood of the innocents in the streets? If Congress would grow a pair, on BOTH sides of the aisle, and stop this stupidity, we just MIGHT have a chance to survive, and save our nation for our children!
Oil, Security, and Incompetent Bureaucrats
War Games, An Energy Crisis, and the Iranian Threat
The Foundry
The Strait of Hormuz lies between Iran and the United Arab Emirates, providing passage for some 15.5 million barrels of crude oil per day, amounting to one third of the world’s seaborne oil shipments. In a word, it is a 34-mile-wide chokepoint, making Iran’s threat this week to shut down the strait all the more serious for the global community.
The Iranian regime’s provocative warnings came on Tuesday from Iranian First Vice President Mohammad Reza Rahimi who threatened to close the strait if Iran faces sanctions for its nuclear ambitions. And Wednesday, Iran’s top naval commander Habibollah Sayyari said, ”Closing the Strait of Hormuz for Iran’s armed forces is really easy … or, as Iranians say, it will be easier than drinking a glass of water.”
Vice President Maroon!
Biden Says Taliban Is Not Our Enemy
The Foundry
On a Saturday in late October in Kabul, Afghanistan, a car carrying explosives rammed into an armored U.S. military bus, killing 13 Americans, including five soldiers and eight civilian staff. In August, a Chinook helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan, killing 30 Americans. Who was responsible? The Taliban. And who now says the Taliban is not America’s enemy? Vice President Joseph Biden.
In an interview with Newsweek, Biden laid out his — and the Administration’s view — of the Taliban:
Look, the Taliban per se is not our enemy. That’s critical. There is not a single statement that the president has ever made in any of our policy assertions that the Taliban is our enemy because it threatens U.S. interests. If, in fact, the Taliban is able to collapse the existing government, which is cooperating with us in keeping the bad guys from being able to do damage to us, then that becomes a problem for us.
Just in case there was any confusion over Biden’s remarks, White House press secretary Jay Carney chimed in yesterday for clarification, complaining that the Vice President’s statement was “taken out of context.” His underlying message, though, was essentially the same as Biden’s, that the Taliban is not America’s enemy:
WE ARE AT WAR!
Pearl Harbor, WWII, and a Lesson for Today
The Foundry
On this day 70 years ago, President Franklin D. Roosevelt addressed a joint session of Congress and requested a declaration of war against Japan following the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor the day before. Roosevelt’s words carried forth across the nation via radio, and the consequences of the actions America would take would be felt around the world–and across history. The lessons America learned in those fateful days should be remembered even today.
Roosevelt noted that the day of Japan’s attack would be “a date which will live in infamy,” and he also pledged the following:
I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.
Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.
With confidence in our armed forces — with the unbounding determination of our people — we will gain the inevitable triumph — so help us God.
Dead….Dead….Dead!
Two U.S.-Born Terrorists Killed in CIA-Led Drone Strike
Senior Al Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki and another America-born militant were killed in Yemen early Friday morning by a CIA-led U.S. drone strike, marking the highest-profile takedown of terror leaders since the raid on Usama bin Laden’s compound.
Fox News has learned that two Predator drones hovering above al-Awlaki’s convoy fired the Hellfire missiles which killed the terror leader. According to a senior U.S. official, the operation was carried out by Joint Special Operations Command, under the direction of the CIA.
Al-Awlaki was a U.S.-born Islamic militant cleric who became a prominent figure with Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the network’s most active branch. He was involved in several terror plots in the United States in recent years, using his fluent English and Internet savvy to draw recruits to carry out attacks. President Obama signed an order in early 2010 making him the first American to be placed on the “kill or capture” list.
The Yemeni government and Defense Ministry announced al-Awlaki’s death, without giving details. But American sources confirmed the CIA and U.S. military were behind the strike on al-Awlaki, whom one official described as a “big fish.”
Shucks! I’m just all torn up about this. Can’cha tell?
But, unfortunately, there are a whole lot more al-Awlakis out there. A lot of ‘em are sitting all nice and comfy in their nice American homes, creeping into our lives, little by little, undermining our Constitution, to bring about their caliphate. All the while, we sit here with our thumbs up our hinders, allowing it to happen. Our elected officials are too busy sucking up to the very ones who would see us all dead, or converted. “Mustn’t offend!” HORSE MANURE! I’M offended! I’m offended that our government can’t do it’s job of protecting our borders. I’m offended that there are people who think it’s just peachy for them to built a victory mosque just feet from where they murdered our citizens. I’m offended that those of us who oppose this take over are called racist, bigot, islmamphobic. I’m offended that any America would think it’s just fine to allow such murderous pedophile worshiping thugs into our country, and then tell us WE have to submit to THEIR wishes, while our Christian children aren’t allowed to even say God Bless you when someone sneezes, or that a teacher can’t put the national motto, “In God We Trust”, up in their classroom, yet many schools are providing prayer rooms for their cultist students.
Have we totally lost our minds?

Arabs Throw Rocks at 20 Month Old Baby
Arabs threw rocks Wednesday at an Israeli car between Migdalim and Tapuach Junction in Samaria. A 20 month old girl was injured in the face.
The baby girl received treatment from Samaria Regional Authority medics and evacuated to a hospital. The Authority Head Gershon Mesika said: “The ‘men of peace’ of the Palestinian murder authority provide yet more proof, to those who still need it, as to just whom we are facing. We face low life terrorists who try to murder babies.”
“They hold an olive twig in their mouths and murder weapons in their hands. To these barbarian terrorists they want to give a state. The Nation of Israel is strong, the government needs to learn from it and be strengthened by its spirit – no to folding and surrendering, yes to construction and stamping out terrorism.”
What kind of filthy animals would attack children? Babies? Well, those oh so peace loving Muslims would do it, without a second thought. They can’t even be called human. Real humans have a soul, they care for their fellow beings, and especially find it in their hearts to care for children, no matter what religion, color, or nationality. They are not human. They are demons, servants of Satan!
Useless!
U.S. Mum Over Reported Taliban Office in Qatar
The Obama administration kept tight-lipped Monday following reports that the United States had endorsed a plan for the Taliban to open a political office in Qatar by the end of the year.
The Times of London reported Monday that the U.S. is hoping the new office will help move along talks to reconcile insurgents with the government in Kabul. The move comes as the United States looks to withdraw troops from Afghanistan.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Monday she would not comment “on those specific reports,” while restating the U.S. position on Afghanistan’s negotiations with Taliban fighters to disarm, a process known as reconciliation.
Well, it’s official. The government of the United States of American is totally irrelevant. Completely useless. They might as well pack their bags and go the hell home! There is no point in continuing our efforts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, or any other muzzie controlled country. Might be a good idea to start deporting some people too, but that won’t happen, cuz we’ve become nothing more than a bunch appeasing weasels….to our collective shame!
