Another Michael Yon Masterpiece

My hero Michael Yon has sent out another dispatch. This one makes you proud to be an American yet angry at the system at the same time! I can't do it any honor (partially because I just started playing High School Soccer and its hell in a handbag and I'm seriously tired). So I am just going to give you the link http://www.michaelyon.blogspot.com/?BMIDS=17051888-03c0818c-76337 Don't worry boys and girls, I'll be fine in a week or two once my muscles adjust. Then I'll be same old ranting raving self.

The Media's Wandering Mind

Now this is a perfect example on how retarded and simple-minded the mainstream media is becoming

DONNELLY, Idaho — President Bush charged Tuesday that anti-war protesters such as Cindy Sheehan , who want the troops brought home immediately, are "advocating a policy that would weaken the United States."

In remarks to reporters outside an exclusive resort where he is vacationing, Bush gave no indication that he would change his mind and meet with
Sheehan, who lost a son in Iraq and has emerged as a harsh critic of the war there, when he returns to his Texas ranch Wednesday evening.

Sheehan has been maintaining a vigil outside Bush's ranch, a demonstration that has attracted other anti-war protesters.

Bush said that two high-ranking member of his staff have already met with her.

Now this is where this article just goes down the tubes. One moment their talking about Cindy Sheehan's "vigil" and the next moment their talking about the Sunni Arabs constitution! If anyone here can find a legitimate connection between these two subject, post a comment and I will retract this article, thats a promise.

On Iraq, Bush said that a democratic constitution "is going to be an important change in the broader Middle East."

Reaching an accord on a constitution after years of dictatorship is not easy, Bush said.

He spoke after the head of the committee drafting Iraq's constitution said Tuesday that three days are not enough to win over the minority Sunni Arabs, and the document they rejected may ultimately have to be approved by parliament as is and submitted to the people in a referendum.

Iraqi leaders completed a draft Monday night and submitted it to parliament, but with only minutes to go before a midnight deadline, they delayed a vote to give them time to convince Sunni Arab negotiators to accept it.

Bush spoke to reporters outside the Tamarack Resort, in the mountains 100 miles north of Boise.

Bush was asked about the possibility that objections to the constitution as it now stands from the Sunnis, the party of deposed leader Saddam Hussein, could trigger a civil war.

"The Sunnis have got to make a choice — do they want to live in a society that's free?" Bush said.

He said he thought that most mothers, regardless of their religion, would prefer to live in peace rather than violence.

He congratulated Israeli President Ariel Sharon on the completion of the withdrawal of settlers from the Gaza Strip .

And Bush praised Sharon for making "a tough decision" and said the next step would be to establish a working government there.

Bush, spending a day at the resort with Idaho Gov. Dirk Kempthorne , a Republican, said he was getting updates on the Iraqi constitutional process from Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice .

He said Rice had assured him that the rights of women were being protected. "Democracy is unfolding," the president said. "We cannot tolerate the status quo."

On Sheehan, the grieving mother who has camped near his ranch since Aug. 6, the president said he strongly supports her right to protest. "She expressed her opinion. I disagree with it," Bush said.

And nowwe're back to "the noble Miss (not Misses because her husband divorced her) Sheehan" all the sudden... wow... again, if you can see a legitimate transaction between Sunni and Sheehan... tell me...

He has scheduled more than two hours to meet with family members of slain soldiers Wednesday at the Mountain Home Air Force Base near Boise, Idaho. Bush said most military families have a different viewpoint than Sheehan. "She doesn't represent the view of a lot of families," he said.

Bush said he planned to go on a hike and have dinner later Tuesday with Kempthorne and the Idaho congressional delegation. Bush said he also planned to spend "quality time" with first lady Laura Bush , who is traveling with him.

Well that about wraps it up boys and girls! The media are a bunch of simple-minded retards who make an article that sticks with the topic they start with.

Ann Margret, Patriot To the Core

This is a story of an annonymous woman's husband and his expierience with Ann Margret and Bob Hope's USO show for the GI's in Vietnam.



Richard, (my husband), never really talked a lot about his time in Viet Nam other than he had been shot by a sniper. However, he had a rather grainy, 8 x 10 black and white photo he had taken at a USO show of Ann Margret with Bob Hope in the background that was one of his treasures.

A few years ago, Ann Margret was doing a book signing at a local bookstore. Richard wanted to see if he could get her to sign the treasured photo so he arrived at the bookstore at 12 ! o'clock for the 7:30 signing.

When I got there after work, the line went all the way around the bookstore, circled the parking lot and disappeared behind a parking garage. Before her appearance, bookstore employees announced that she would sign only her book and no memorabilia would be permitted.

Richard was disappointed, but wanted to show her the photo and let her know how much those shows meant to lonely GI's so far from home. Ann Margret came out looking as beautiful as ever and, as second in line, it was soon Richard's turn.

He presented the book for her signature and then took out the photo. When he did, there were many shouts from the employees that she would not sign it. Richard said, "I understand. I just wanted her to see it."

She took one look at the photo, tears welled up in her eyes and she said, "This is one of my gentlemen from Viet Nam and I most certainly will sign his photo. I know what these men did for their country and I always have time for 'my gentlemen.'"

With that, she pulled Richard across the table and planted a big kiss on him. She then made quite a to-do about the bravery of the young men she met over the years, how much she admired them, and how much she appreciated them There weren't too many dry eyes among those close enough to hear. She then posed for pictures and acted as if he were the only one there.

Later at dinner, Richard was very quiet. When I asked if he'd like to talk about it, my big strong husband broke down in tears. "That's the first time anyone ever thanked me for my time in the Army," he said.

That night was a turning point for him. He walked a little straighter and, for the first time in years, was proud to have been a Vet. I'll never forget Ann Margret for her graciousness and how much that small act of kindness meant to my husband.

I now make it a point to say "Thank you" to every person I come across who served in our Armed Forces. Freedom does not come cheap and I am grateful for all those who have served their country.

If you'd like to pass on this story, feel free to do so. Perhaps it will help others to become aware of how important it is to acknowledge the contribution our service people make.


If you are a blogger with a blog like mine or if your just a true amrerican, I implore you to spread this story.

A Little Boy's Letter To His Grandpa

I read this and my heart tore in two.












Hi Grandpa,
My daddy took me here to this place called The Wall to meet you today. I've heard so many wonderful stories about you and am sad that I have never met or seen you. All my friends go places and do things with their grandpa's and I wish you were here to do them with me too. I'm eight years old now. Daddy talks about you all the time and how he was my age when you went to Vietnam. We are always looking at your pictures and all the ones you sent home from Vietnam. He told me about the day you left and how tight you held him when you said goodbye at the airport. He said you were crying and that was the only time he had ever seen you cry. It's as if you knew you weren't going to come home. You know, that's the only time I ever see my daddy cry is when we are talking about you. He says the country you and he loves so much won't do anything to bring you home.

I told my daddy that I didn't like Vietnam because it made our whole familiy sad. He took me out back by the pond and we sat for awhile and talked. He told me a little bit about Vietnam and that the people in the South needed our help. He said our country, being the greatest country in the world, had a duty to help and that all the brave men and women who went to fight were proud to have done so. I think I understand it better now but I still don't understand why people had to die. Why do people have to fight? The hardest thing I have understanding is that you might still be alive over there and why somebody doesn't bring you home. Maybe when I get older I will better understand but right now I just know I miss you even though I have never met you. Every night daddy and I kneel in front of your picture and we say a prayer. Sometimes when I'm lying in bed and thinking about you, I hear you say you are ok and that you love me. Daddy says it's my imagination so I just shrug my shoulders but we know better don't we grandpa? Somehow I know you are watching out for mommy, daddy and me.

I'm going into the forth grade this year. I like school most of the time. I have a teacher who talks about the Vietnam war. Her husband is a Vietnam Veteran and he comes to talk to us sometimes. He is in a wheelchair and has no legs. He looks very old and more like my teacher's father than her husband. When he talks to us about the war, he gets tears in his eyes. One day one of the girls in my class went up to him and put her arms around him and told him not to be sad. She told him to be happy that he was alive because her grandpa died in Vietnam. He looked at her, gave her a big hug and told her that he wasn't sad because he had to live in a wheelchair but because of all the friends he had who didn't come home. He told us that he still had a lot of friends who were captured or came up missing and that there is a chance that those men could still be alive and even if they weren't, he could not visit their graves and pay his respects because they aren't in their own country. It was very strange but the whole class spoke at one time and asked, "Why don't we just go get them?" I'm not sure why but that made him cry even more and he had to leave our classroom. When my teacher came back in she told us about the POW's and MIA's in Vietnam. Then I told her about you and that you could still be alive in Vietnam too. Our next class project is going to be to write to our Senators, Congressmen, and even to the President asking them WHY we don't just go get them.

I love to play soccer Grandpa. I wish you could be there to watch me play. I'm pretty good. Sometimes I think you are there. I also like to play baseball and football. I had a pet frog until last week. I used to keep him in my back pocket and I fell off my bike and well... that was the end of him. Mom had to wash my pants three times. Boy was she mad. She said I could have a pet rock now but I couldn't carry it in my back pocket though. Well Grandpa, I have to go now. My dad wants to talk to you and he's crying so my mom is going to take me for a walk and see all the statues around the park. I will keep praying that someday you come home and we can toss a ball together or you can tell me some stories like you used to tell my dad.
I love you Grandpa and I miss you.

Well... there ya have it... I shed tears over this boys and girls... tears...

Sign the petition. Bring our POWs home. http://www.petitiononline.com/vnpowmia/petition.html

Cindy Sheehan, the Left's New Jersey Girl

Well boys and girls, the left has a new poster girl: Cindy Sheehan. "She lost her son in Iraq!" Some on the Left are saying. "She has a right to be mad at Bush!" Well... atually... she doesn't!! Her son comepletly understood the risk he was taking when he joined the Army, he knew that there was a chance that he could be sent into a hostile zone should the U.S. come into a conflict, he knew he could die, and you are told all of this before you take the oath.

Boys and girls... Preisdent Bush isn't picking up random people and throwing them onto a navy plane and flying them to Iraq like everyone on the Left is making it sound like he is. These people are well informed before they sign up.

So if I hear one, just one soldier put a blog on the internet to whine and moan and gripe about how "he was injured" and "his friends are dieing" and "its all Bush's fault because he sent us here to die". I am going to tell him: If you were dumb enough... to sign up and swear youself into, the army, without fully knowing that you could or without fulling recognizing or comprehending that you could be sent into a Hot Zone and die. Then you deserve to die/be injured/lose a limb/ ect.

I am so sick and tired of hearing 45-55 year old ex-soccer moms and bloated Left Wing politicians moan and groan about "Bush is sending our babies to die!" It needs to stop boys and girls! Something needs to knock them on the head until the information I have given you in this post finally thuds into place in their slow, one-track, pessimistic, whiny, snivelling, slimy little pea-sized brains.

Getting back to Cindy Sheehan. People from the Democratic and Liberal parties are going nuts over her. They want her to do appearances, speeches ect. And I think alot of people can agree with me when I say: I smell a book deal! Its a perfet chance for the Libs and Moonbats to try to persuade the genral public -through propaganda like this- that that President Bush is nothing but a greedy, power-hungry, baby-killing S.O.B. that just wants to rule the world or something along those lines I'm sure. It sickens me! Another thing is: how much in donations to her anti-war group that she "co-founded" is she pocketing? Their has to be thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars pouring in by now to "Gold Star Families For Peace"! Am I right?

In fact, Cindy Sheehan's own family -her mother, her father, her aunts and uncles and numerous cousins is how her family signed the letter to President Bush but will the media ever print that? No!- stated that they do not support her in anyway whatsoever. I don't even think her husband is behind her! This woman needs a real reality check if you ask me boys and girls.

Thus I end another one of my rants. I bid you all good day!

I am beyond words...


15 Seconds...

At least two terrorists are watching our approach, pretending to talk to a taxi driver. One holds a Motorola radio transmitter in his pants pocket.

14 Seconds...

13 Seconds...

The bombs are buried under the road ahead of us, on a route to the police station.

12 Seconds...

11 Seconds...We are in a big Stryker. Usually the IEDs just make the ears ring--I wear earplugs--or maybe knock an air-guard or two unconscious, filling the cabin with so much fine dust that it looks like smoke. I've often wondered if this fine dust sometimes ignites when the armor ruptures, adding to the flashover that burns so many soldiers inside.

10 Seconds...

9 Seconds...

Sometimes IEDs blow through the Stryker, launching it into the air, and critically or fatally injuring the people inside. Odd body parts will often be left unscathed, such as a severed hand in a black glove on the road. About 43 Americans have died here during the past ten days.

8 Seconds...

7 Seconds...

The men are cautiously watching us, still talking among themselves. The transmitter is armed. A push of the button might make the final dispatch.

6 Seconds...

A terrorist is preparing to push the button, but the timing's got to be just right . . . not yet . . . not yet . . . we are almost there. . . .

5 Seconds...

One of the terrorists does a double take at the lead Stryker, blowing his cover. The call instantly goes out to "Block left! Lock 'em down! Two pax!"

The First of My "Hero of the Week" Segments

Once A week I will post the story of one of our Men and Women in Arm's courage to go above and beyond the call of duty.

Sgt. Benny Alicea was awarded the Silver Star for his action during Operation Phantom Fury in Fallujah.

Injured by the flying fragments of an enemy grenade, a Soldier collected himself and noticed his buddies were down. He rushed to protect them, firing round after round at his attackers as bullets punced into the walls around him. If he and his friends were to live, there was nothing he could do but continue to fight alone and wait for reinforcements.

This was the situation Sgt. Benny Alicea, 2nd Battalion, 7th Infantry, 1st Cavalry Division – then Spc. Alicea – faced during a battle in Fallujah in November 2004. Alicea’s actions that day earned him the Silver Star, just one of the many awards he earned during his year in Iraq. He also received two Purple Hearts and two Army Commendation Medals – one with a V device for valor in another battle.

Members of A Company, were in Fallujah to take part in Operation Phantom Fury, which aimed to bring the rogue city under coalition control. As the sun rose over Fallujah, insurgents operating from a complex of houses fired on the company’s 1st platoon. The platoon returned fire from their Bradley Fighting Vehicles and began clearing the complex to secure the area.

The company detained 20 suspected insurgents and also found a cache of weapons and ammunition. As the Soldiers dealt with the detainees, another group of insurgents attacked the troops from a nearby house. Alicea’s squad got the order to eliminate the new threat.

While clearing a house, the platoon cleared and empty room and moved toward a closed door with apprehension. “The door was not even fully open when a hailstorm of bullets started coming out,” Alicea said. “It was chaotic, and I felt the rounds passing by me. We didn’t realize how many people were in there until they started shooting and we heard their voices.”

The squad found itself battling 15 insurgents. Bullets and debris flew everywhere as both sides suffered casualties. Fragments from two enemy grenades caught Alicea in the hip and buttocks. As the squad backed out of the house, Alicea laid down suppressive fire before falling to the ground in pain. Three of his comrades were also injured, and Alicea positioned himself to protect them. “I just loaded my weapon and kept on firing as I was staying around my brothers to protect them,” said Alicea. “At this point, in my mind I felt like I was going to die.”

Alicea was running out of ammunition when a Bradley came to rescue him and the other wounded Soldiers.

With the skirmish over, Alicea helped load the wounded into vehicles, ignoring his own pain. The three Soldiers Alicea protected all suffered severe wounds. One of those Soldiers, Spc. Jose Velez, didn’t survive.

Despite his heroism, Alicea remains humble about his actions. According to his friends and fellow Soldiers, that attitude describes the type of person he is.

While he is proud of what he did to earn the Silver Star, the award also brought back the harsh memories of a fallen friend. “It is an honor to get it, but the award also reminds me of Velez a lot,” he said, his eyes welling up with tears.

Now in Kuwait, the first stop on his way home, Alicea prepares for his return to Fort Hood, Texas. He looks forward to spending time with his wife, organizing his life and thinking about the future. “I appreciate life a lot more,” he said. “Some people don’t take life seriously until they see someone close to them being picked up off the ground.”

Go with god Spc. Velez.

The U.N. Unethics Icebreaker

Your gonna wanna read this one boys and girls...


"NEW YORK — One of the targets of the Oil-for-Food investigation, Alexander Yakovlev( pictured left), on Monday pleaded guilty to conspiracy, wire fraud and money laundering charges for taking bribes during his work at the United Nations.

Yakovlev also admitted to soliciting a bribe under the U.N. Oil-for-Food program, making him the first U.N. official to face criminal charges in connection with the scandal-tainted program for Iraq.

Yakovlev was stripped of his diplomatic immunity earlier Monday by U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan and taken into custody by federal authorities..."

Ect., ect., ect.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,165124,00.html Click here to read the whole article.
The main thing I wanted to cover here was that a U.N. official, actually had the brass to fess up to taking bribes on the Oil-for-food program. We can only hope that his fellow communists-, I mean dictators-, I mean..."officials"... follow in his footsteps and do the right thing... though in some cases hope is lost... All we can do is pray boys and girls.

Now On With the Show!

The Alliance of Free Blogs comes up with some pretty good stuff!

As you are all aware the U.N. has created a commitee to "regulate" the internet, many meetings of this commitee have happened already. The following are snippets from those meetings.



No single country will be allowed to dominate the internet. Since the US is a single country, it must either get out of the internet business, or get married. Possibly to Mexico, since she looks hot in a bikini.


All internet sites will be approved by the international community, i.e. France, and any site without the official "cheese and beret" seal of approval will have resolutions passed against it.


The United States will enforce these resolutions on behalf of the UN in the face of international disapproval and ingratitude.


If successful, must give full credit to France.


Any rapidly propagating viruses that slow down overall internet traffic speed will be blamed on the J000000S!


All information posted to the internet will first be fact-checked by the Daily Kos Ministry of Truth.


The following phrases will be banned: "poofy hair", "filthy hippy", "communist", "ronin".
Google will change the "Google Search" button on its home page to say "I [heart] the UN"The "I'm Feeling Lucky" button will become "Oil For Food was a Legitimate Program that Saved Millions of Children from Cruel Starvation due to Unnecessary US Sanctions and NOT a Money Laundering Scheme Designed to Line the Pockets of Corrupt UN Bureaucrats".


All "adult content" web sites will cover naughty bits with little pictures of blue helmets.

All "adult content" sites will be thoroughly reviewed for compliance.


Until the US buys high-speed wireless internet access for all of Africa, everyone gets AOL and dial-up.


Except for those engaged in official UN compliance reviews.


All PayPal transactions must receive approval from Dr. Mbeki Salingo of Nigeria.


All bloggers will display the flags of every nation across the top of their home pages. Violators will be resolutioned.


No bushy moustaches. They frighten us.


Remember folks, John Bolton is the only thing standing between the free people of the world and the nightmare outlined above.

And for you power-hungry one-worlders, just three words:

A Tribute to Steven Vincent

Now I don't usually show respect for democrats and liberals but I do show respect for men who died for what they believe ind what they think is right, even if I don't agree with it. I hate democrats, but I can see beyond that when something this terrible happens. So I am going to show Steven Vincent's last few posts from July before he went into Iraq. I am not going to "dis" them and I don't want anybody else to either. Snide comments will be removed. This is a tribute, not an expression of my opinions so don't send me nasty comments and e-mails.



And the sad part is, google news had the audacity to show his corpse on their front page

Karl Rove - Traitor

As the Valerie Plame CIA outing by a "senior official" of the Bush Whitehouse slowly simmers to an investigative boil, one person has been identified as the traitorous, seditionist, America hating scumbag who identified an active undercover CIA investigator working on finding weapons of mass destruction; that scumbag appears to be, Senior George W. Bush advisor and close personal friend, Karl Rove.

Hmmm, what is the punishment for an act of treason during a time of war?



I didn't like the guy, but he was brave.

The Iraqi Constitution

On July 26th, Al-Sabah had the exclusive right to publish the current draft of the constitution. I have taken out most of the unimportant parts and left the parts that scared me. But there are some interesting points in the full version.

*Words in between brackets are still not agreed upon by all members of the CDC.
*My comments are in bold.

Section One:Fundamental principles:
1-the republic of Iraq (the Islamic, federal) is a sovereign, independent country and the governing system is a democratic, republican, federal one.

The Islamic republic of Iraq? I find this only slightly more than frightening.

2-Islam is the official religion of the state and it is the main source of legislations and it is not allowed to make laws that contradict the fundamental teachings of Islam and its rules (the ones agreed upon by all Muslims) and this constitution shall preserve the Islamic identity of the majority of the Iraqi people (with its Shea't majority and its Sunni component) and respect the rights of all other religions.

Ok, this could be bad if its approved. Since most of what the Koran says is "Kill Infidels!" And "The more you kill the more virgins you'll have when you rule your own planet." Or some cockamemy load a bull like that

3-The Iraqi community is made of two main ethnicities; these are Arabic and Kurdish and of other main ethnicities; these are Turkmen, Chalideans, Assyrian, Armenian, Shabak and (Persian) and Yazidi and Mendayeen, all of which are equal in rights and duties of citizenship.

I have never heard of a Persian living in Iraq who fought to be called a "Persian-Iraqi."

4-Arabic language is the official language of the Iraqi state and Kurdish language is (together with Arabic) the official language in the region of Kurdistan and for the central government, regions and provinces have the right to choose any local language as an additional official language if the majority of its citizens approved the choice in a referendum.

5-The Iraqi state is part of the Islamic and Arabic worlds or (the Iraqi state is a founding member of the Arab league and the Islamic conference organization).Do we really need to put that in the constitution? After all, our "Muslim and Arab brothers" brought us nothing but troubles.

6-Sovereignty is for the law and the people is the source of authorities, practicing it through direct general secret voting (or by secret direct voting and referendum) and through its constitutional institutions.

8-The Iraqi state is one entity in land, people and sovereignty.

9-The family is the bas of the community and the state preserves the family's genuine Iraqi identity that is based on patriot, religious and ethical values and the state also is responsible for protecting maternity and childhood and looks after the youths and provide the appropriate environment to assure the development of their skills and capabilities.I don't know for sure what they mean by saying "the state preserves the family's genuine Iraqi identity that is based on patriot, religious and ethical values" but it doesn't sound great anyway

10-Basic freedoms and rights that are stated in the constitution are granted for everyone and no law that undermines them shall be made (to be attached to no 2).

11-All ideologies that include racism, terrorism and "takfir" (or promote or publicize these concepts) are banned and especially the Saddmist Ba'ath and this one cannot be part of the political plurality of the state.

12-Internal and foreign relationship of the Iraqi state are to be built on principles of peace and cooperation with all nations, especially the neighboring ones.

13-Iraqi state commits to the international treaties unless if this could result in a conflict with this constitution.

14-Iraqi armed forces in all their forms and systems are part of the Iraqi people resembles it ethnic, religious and sectarian composition.These forces are under the command of the civil authorities. Its duty is to defend the Iraqi state and must not interfere with political affairs and has no role in transition of power.Using these forces in oppressing the Iraqi people is banned.

15-the religious references (the clergy) enjoys its independence and advisory position as a highly valued religious and national symbol (there are some reservations on this clause).

16-Holy places and shrines in the Iraqi state possess a legal character for what they represent as religious and cultural beings and the state has to preserve their sacredness and to protect the freedom of practicing ceremonies in these holy places.

17-the center of Baghdad is the capital of the Iraqi state.Designating another city as a capital is possible under a special legislation.

18-The flag of the state, national and religious holidays are to be chosen and identified according to a law.



There were a few points in there that scared me but overall it was good reading worthy of any toiletside magazine basket.
