False Alarm: Not Al-Masri

Fri, May 9, 2008 at 11:34:21 am PDT

I wrote yesterday that it wasn’t confirmed, and today the military announced that it was indeed a false alarm: US says Qaeda chief in Iraq not captured.

BAGHDAD (AFP) - The US military denied on Friday that Al-Qaeda in Iraq chief Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, who carries a US bounty of five million dollars, had been captured by security forces.

State television Al-Iraqiya reported on Thursday that a man calling himself as Muhajir was captured by Iraqi forces in the northern province of Nineveh.

US military spokeswoman Major Peggy Kageleiry said the detained individual was not Muhajir, whose real name according to the military is Abu Ayyub al-Masri. “They did not catch Abu Hamza al-Muhajir. Somebody with same name but not connected with him. It is not him,” Kageleiry told AFP.

14 haakondahl  Fri, May 9, 2008 11:39:50am

Here is the full J. S. Mill quote with which many of us are only familiar in an abbreviated form:


"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. When a people are used as mere human instruments for firing cannon or thrusting bayonets, in the service and for the selfish purposes of a master, such war degrades a people. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their free choice,—is often the means of their regeneration. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever-renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other."
--John Stuart Mill, The Contest in America

No, this one, you want captured alive. Then you want the information extracted from him. Then, if there's anything left, you can dispose of it as you wish. He's left enough corpses behind him that turning him over to next of kin might almost be too cruel.

This is my opinion. If this post needs to be deleted, Charles, please don't hold it against me.

For those of you who were praying for my family and me before, please keep it up. My mother died about three weeks ago, and it's been difficult at times.

In the meantime, someone forwarded me a joke, and it made me smile, so I thought I'd share.

I know it's a long joke, but it's worth the read.

Several centuries ago, the Pope decreed that all the Jews had to convert to Catholicism or leave Italy There was a huge outcry from the Jewish community, so the Pope offered a deal. He'd have a religious debate with the leader of the Jewish community. If the Jews won, they could stay in Italy ; if the Pope won, they'd have to convert or leave.

The Jewish people met and picked an aged and wise rabbi to represent them in the debate. However, as the rabbi spoke no Italian, and the Pope spoke no Yiddish, they agreed that it would be a "silent" debate.

On the chosen day the Pope and rabbi sat opposite each other.

The Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers.

The rabbi looked back and raised one finger.

Next, the Pope waved his finger around his head.

The rabbi pointed to the ground where he sat.

The Pope brought out a communion wafer and a chalice of wine.

The rabbi pulled out an apple.

With that, the Pope stood up and declared himself beaten and said that the rabbi was too clever. The Jews could stay in Italy .

Later the cardinals met with the Pope and asked him what had happened.

The Pope said, "First I held up three fingers to represent the Trinity. He responded by holding up a single finger to remind me there is still only one God common to both our beliefs.

"Then, I waved my finger around my head to show him that God was all around us. He responded by pointing to the ground to show that God was also right here with us.

"I pulled out the wine and water to show that God absolves us of all our sins. He pulled out an apple to remind me of the original sin.

"He bested me at every move and I could not continue."

Meanwhile, the Jewish community gathered to ask the rabbi how he'd won.

"I haven't a clue" the rabbi said. "First, he told me that we had three days to get out of Italy , so I gave him the finger.

"Then he tells me that the whole country would be cleared of Jews and I told him that we were staying right here."

"And then what?" asked a woman.

"Who knows?" said the rabbi. "He took out his lunch so I took out mine.

That, I believe (depending on where the bullet is delivered, of course). That's basic wound ballistics. But the taser is supposed to be different... I quote (from their own site, so not exactly neutral, but hey):

Therefore the M18 Advanced TASER® is effective against attackers in all circumstances under all types of conditions. Even assailants under the influence of PCP, angel dust, cocaine, steroids, hallucinagens and other dangerous drugs are stopped by the incredible take down power of EMD Electro Muscular Disruption. Even determined, aggressive attackers influenced by mind altering drugs cannot overcome the massive stopping power of this incapacitating weapon.

b) Flush the toilet, soak the book in fresh water, dry it out and re-flatten it between heavy hard covers?

He became utterly desperate -- he'd write words down on pieces of paper and then set fire to it -- watching the words turn into embers -- hoping to forget...The Russian guy had what Luria called a 5-fold synesthesia (so -- if he saw a number -- there would be a color attached, along with smell, feel, etc. Oliver Sacks in Musicophilia also discussed case histories of musicians with synesthesia when hearing music -- that is, they'd also see colors, etc. Ravel -- when he wrote Bolero -- may have been on the cusp of a neurological brain disorder...)

Clinton may be out, but she is not down. If the Maverick wins, she will pop up in 2012. If Barry the Messiah wins, I expect she will be the republican candidate in 2012 considering the weak field and her lack of principles. Clinton/O'Reilly 2012- "It's about the folks!"

I saw two moonbatmobiles while I was out driving around today. One was this beastly ancient Subaru from the early '80s or something that looked like it was about to fall apart from rust; it looked exactly like this, but like I said, a lot more rusty. The rear bumper was emblazoned with a "got milk?"-style bumper sticker that said "got hope?", and offered a number to text-message to OBAMA to show support.

The other was a slightly newer Volkswagen TDI that spewed black smoke all over the place whenever the hippie at the wheel accelerated. It had such stickers on it as "Impeach Bush," "1.20.09: Bush's Last Day," and what looked like a very badly faded Obama sticker.
