-RetweetObama's Plan for Iraq: Prosecute War Criminals

Sun, Jun 8, 2008 at 10:12:39 pm PDT

Discovered in the directory left wide open by the Obama site designers: a PDF file containing Obama’s plan to “hold accountable any perpetrators of war crimes” in Iraq.

And something tells me they don’t mean Al Qaeda.

It's strange to me how 'confront humanitarian crisis' comes last. After such bureaucratic time-eaters as erecting a 'regional security compact.'

Without power over the productive population of a country the parasites cannot assure their own survival and well being. Nothing else matters.

Holy cow, this is actually huge news.

Obama is basically announcing he's going to hold Nuremberg-style trials to convict Bsuh&Co of war crimes -- exactly as the most extreme moonbats have been fantasizing for years.

This is what happens after a revolution, not after a presidential election.

Does he want to turn us into a third-world country where every new leader takes revenge on the previous leader and his underlings?

Imagine, if you will, what the media would say if secret Bush plans to hold trials and convict his political enemies came to light. It would be the scandal of the century.

But when Obama does it...I predict:

Silence.

Obama would pull out all of the troops within one year - by December '09! - and leave the Iraqi people at the mercy of insurgents. And he would sell out the Iraqi government to the UN!

Not to mention the whole war crimes thing. That is beyond disgusting.

Charles, God bless you for taking the time to expose what is going on within the Obama campaign. Sadly - and I mean this in no way as a slight directed at you - the traditional media in this country has so utterly failed us, it is up to good, hard working folks like you to shed light upon the truth.

I have gotten to the point that I am utterly disgusted with anyone who supports this man's candidacy. I had the painful displeasure of attending the Ohio State graduation ceremonies today, only to hear Brian Williams apologize for the state of our nation, and implore the graduates to "change" it. Gee, I wonder where his ideological center lies? I was with a couple of friends who are very conservative and anti-Obama, but they couldn't help but praise Williams' address. I can't even imagine what the reaction was among the ideological automatons in the graduating class.

BTW, and kind of a random question: I know that there are a lot of Jewish folks among our Lizard ranks, and I have been curious about this one point. Is it considered offensive to God to spell his name as a Jew, or to see it spelled, period? I ask this because, if you/they find it offensive to see His name spelled at all, I would have no problem with using a "censored" version of His name in deference. Obviously, I am a gentile Presbyterian who has very little interaction with Jews on a day-to-day basis, but I do love you all like brothers.

Unfortunately in military law(at least here in Canada) it's the other way around. You have to prove your innocence. I don't know the way it works in the U.S.A military, but I think they are similar. I do know that if you are tried in a military court up here and you bring in a civilian attorney they have to be assigned a military lawyer to teach them the ropes of what can and can't be done.

That's a fairly aggressive read.
He says he's going to go after "any perpetrators of war crimes".
This is coded talk to appeal to his Leftist base.
In THEIR minds, he could be talking about Bush and Cheney. . .
Could be US soldiers. . .could be Al Queda in Iraq (though I suppose Obama would have to admit that there is such an entity first, before he can assume them of committing war crimes).
But the point is, he doesn't say any of these things explicitly, and whichever interpretation you choose, its easily deniable.

Thought I saw this before:

Obama strikes nerve with call for quick pullout of U.S. troops from Iraq

Carla Marinucci, Chronicle Political Writer

Thursday, September 13, 2007


Sen. Barack Obama tells an audience at a campaign event i...
Disclaimer

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's plan to withdraw American combat forces from Iraq created immediate waves Wednesday in his party's presidential race and illustrated how the unpopular war has become the central battleground for the 2008 campaign.

Political observers said the move showed that Democratic candidates increasingly are competing to lead the anti-war parade and appeal to a key constituency - motivated anti-war Democratic voters.

Obama's tough Iraq policy speech suggests that "he's trying to take a little bit of the 'Clean Gene' McCarthy position," Michael Semler, professor of political science at Cal State Sacramento, said, referring to the late Sen. Eugene McCarthy, whose opposition to the war in Vietnam in the 1968 presidential race became a rallying point for many voters on the far left.

Semler said Obama is "trying to position himself as the first Democrat to make a detailed policy statement" responding to Gen. David Petraeus' recommendations that American troop levels in Iraq remain the same as they were before President Bush began his "surge" in January.

"He's forcing other Democrats to follow him, and respond to him," Semler added.

The competition highlights the effort by the top Democratic presidential candidates "to be the lead in the anti-war parade in the primary because there are so many people willing to join up," said Mark Baldassare of the Public Policy Institute of California.

Among Democrats, Baldassare said, "it's their No. 1 presidential issue, and one in which there is near unanimity on outcome: that we must drastically change course ... so if you manage to convince the voters you have the answer, you will have a tremendous following."

With five months until the first 2008 presidential primaries and caucuses, Obama's plan on Iraq delivered a veiled shot at his Democratic rivals - particularly Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the front-runner, and Sen. John Edwards, the former North Carolina senator and the party's 2004 candidate for vice president.

Obama, who was an Illinois state senator when Congress authorized Bush to invade Iraq, blamed "conventional thinking" in Congress for the votes to authorize the war and support the Republican president's policy. He called for immediately beginning to pull out troops engaged in combat operations - finishing by the end of next year - as well as supporting a new constitutional convention in Iraq, diplomacy with "all of the nations in the region," and "immediate steps" to "confront the humanitarian disaster" and "hold accountable any perpetrators of war crimes" in Iraq.

Seriously, the way culpability works at war crimes trials is they go up the chain of command as far as they can go.

Who conceivably could Obama string up?

The options are very limited: it would have to be Rumsfeld, Petraeus, Bush, Cheney, Colin Powell, or someone of that stature.

Anyone of a lower rank could legitimately say it wasn't him making the decision.

Obama is preparing for a Great Purge of Stalinesque dimensions.

This is truly astounding.

Unfortunately
in military law(at least here in Canada) it's the other way around. You
have to prove your innocence. I don't know the way it works in the
U.S.A military, but I think they are similar. I do know that if you are
tried in a military court up here and you bring in a civilian attorney
they have to be assigned a military lawyer to teach them the ropes of
what can and can't be done.

I just did a really quick scan of the UCMJ and I didn't see anything that conflicted with the US Bill of Rights.

If I'm wrong, please let me know.

98 AZfederalist  Sun, Jun 8, 2008 10:34:18pm

Just taking a look at those ideas:
1) Pull out a brigade or two per month. What happens to the brigades toward the end? Does this idiot (I'm sorry, Jimmy Carter was taken) really think the bad guys are just going to stand on the street corners and wave as the troops leave and diminish in strength?
Bottom line: Disaster for our troops. Toward the end, if this were implemented, I will predict that we will lose more troops in a month than we've lost thus far

2) Constitutional convention convened with the UN. And what evidence does he have of UN ability to do anything expediently? What if the Iraqis simply say, "screw you, we like what we are doing just fine"?
Bottom line: Disaster for the nascent government of Iraq

3) Presidential leadership to surge our diplomacy. Again, what's he going to do when those other countries say, "screw you, we don't need you here -- we know what we want and now that your troops are gone, we are going to take it by force"? That presidential leadership and diplomacy thing worked so well for Jimmy Carter when confronting the Ayatollah, I guess Obama wants to see if it will work this time.
Bottom line: Disaster for our power and prestige in the world as we show that any third-rate country in the world can thumb their noses at the US

4) Confront the humanitarian disaster and prosecute our troops (let's not mince words). Since we won't have any troops to protect them, how well do you think humanitarian workers are going to fare over there? Prosecute our troops? Great move as commander in chief --- at least the rest of us won't have to worry about the troops protecting his precious backside when his policies ignite revolt.
Bottom line: Disaster for Iraqis because humanitarian aid will halt, we will wind up sending money to thugs for humanitarian aid and the Iraqis return to a brutal dictatorship. Disaster for our troops and morale, disaster for our ability to prosecute future conflicts as our troops will spend more time second-guessing themselves than prosecuting a war.

One of the surest routes to a bloody civil war (I mean in the US) is to prosecute policy as crimes.

If there are military families out there, they should be very concerned if this man becomes President. Even Clinton, who was very anti-military and they hated him for it, never outlined his goals as starkly as this.

Seriously, the way culpability works at war crimes trials is they go up the chain of command as far as they can go.

Who conceivably could Obama string up?

The options are very limited: it would have to be Rumsfeld, Petraeus, Bush, Cheney, Colin Powell, or someone of that stature.

Anyone of a lower rank could legitimately say it wasn't him making the decision.

Obama is preparing for a Great Purge of Stalinesque dimensions.

This is truly astounding.

He could be talking about trials for things that happen on the ground. Or he could be referring to things that might happen in Iraq after its inevitable collapse -- notice it comes after America pulls out and after the 'regional security compact.'

re: #65 BGOH

Judaism does not prohibit writing the Name of God per se; it prohibits only erasing or defacing a Name of God. However, observant Jews avoid writing any Name of God casually because of the risk that the written Name might later be defaced, obliterated or destroyed accidentally or by one who does not know better. Observant Jews avoid writing a Name of God on web sites like this one because there is a risk that someone else will print it out and deface it. To avoid writing the Name, Orthodox Jews (and sometimes other denominations) substitute letters or syllables, for example, writing "G-d" instead of "God." This entry was written by an observant Jew. See also The Name of God.

Casualties are way down, attacks are way down, and the political process has gone forward.

No, it could NOT be for actions taken by soldiers on the ground. Those crimes have already all been identified, and there have been court-martials and trials already.

Ever heard of Haditha? Abu Ghraib? The soldiersaccused in those (and other) incidents have already faced their days in court (or are currently facing them).

No, the US military already monitors individual misdeeds EXTREMELY carefully and does every over-zealous prosecution imaginable.

When we speak of a War Crimes Trail, it necessarily must be for larger-scale "crimes" which have not yet been identified, much less prosecuted.

They are aiming very high on the totem pole. They are targetting the decision-makers at the top of the heirarchy -- exactly as I pointed out.

He'd have minimal Congressional support on this, because most of the Congress voted to authorize the war, and is equally culpable.

Bill Ayers, Great American
By Martin from Belvedere Tiburon, CA - May 26th, 2008 at 11:48 am EDT

It's come to our attention - ad nauseum - that one University of Chicago professor, our candidate, knows another - scandalous! The latter was once a member of the Weatherman. It's been my delight and honor to know Bill Ayers since the week he came above ground after a decade of hiding. He was my child's nursery school teacher, and beyond wonderful in that role. Bill took his degree in child development from Bank Street College and moved on to higher education. He was and is an inspiring instructor, colleague and friend. Bill is a patriot of the deepest coloration -- totally reminiscent of Tom Paine, Sam Adams or Thomas Jefferson. He is and was a man of action as well as reflection. Of course age has mellowed him, but as a young man in a time of horror and national disgrace, in a time of brutal war and slaughter of civilians, in a time when civil rights was a struggle and not a foregone conclusion, Bill stood on the front lines of the struggle. And he took his cues from our Founding Fathers (and Mothers) seizing the day to alter our nation's course. His methods in that time were violent, but his targets were never human. He and his colleagues destroyed property, brought the Vietnam War and the complicity of the educational establishment into sharp focus, and helped to turn the tide of public opinion against that unjust struggle. It's likely not the course Bill would choose now, but only someone who knows no history, and who felt the Vietnam War was both just and good, could even begin to argue with those who determined to risk all to end it, and to overthrow the system that perpetrated it.

re: #108 looking closely

I think you're missing the point.

In Barack Obama we are seeing a narcissist who believes (or presents) himself to be infallible. Those who see themselves as being infallible are not concerned with the political consequences of an action. The political capital that got him into the office is no longer relevant.

In the mind of a narcissist other people exist solely as a means, as tools, to carry out the narcissist's will. Those who refuse to do the narcissist's bidding are garbage to to disposed of. Thus the Great Purges and the Holocaust, etc.

This is the sort of thing that caused me to fear the election of Hillary. Barack Obama is a Harvard indoctrinated Marxist. And anything that a Marxist has done in the past he will be able to order in the future.

Out armed forces as they are presently composed and trained will not follow the kinds of orders that Marxists usually issue. Therefore the Armed Forces must be destroyed or terrorized into submission.

If Obama is elected there will be a civil war. Count on it.

Don't think for a second that the Obamassiah won't try to figure out a way around the "no double jeopardy" rule.


And how is he going to pull that one off? He has just about zero control over military courts, and he'd face a pretty harsh backlash if he tried to exercise any.

With due respect, he's "only" the President, and believe it or not, even the President has limited powers and limited political capital.

He may have a Dem majority Congress, but even among that majority there are still enough moderates that he's not going to get away with the most extreme partisan leftist nonsense, let alone reversing 200+ years of American jurisprudence.

Ayers and the Weathermen:

"The Weathermen's 1969 melee in Chicago, billed "The Days of Rage," was meant to inspire working-class youth to commit similarly gratuitous acts, and to prove the group's revolutionary macho to the Black Panthers. But the Panthers spurned them, and there was no evidence that working-class youth were ready to run wild in the streets. So the group changed its tactics, with deadly results. Early in 1970, a group of Weathermen inadvertently blew up three of their members along with a townhouse on Eleventh Street in New York's Greenwich Village. The group was trying to build an anti-personnel bomb, in order to give Americans a taste of the kind of cruel weaponry their government was using in Vietnam.

Now the object of a national manhunt, and rechristened the Weather Underground, the fugitives -- several dozen militants in a handful of American cities -- established guerilla "focos," secret cells in which members learned how to build bigger and better bombs, to be detonated in acts of "strategic sabotage." Besides issuing a stream of turgid communiques denouncing racism and sexism and proclaiming sympathy for fellow revolutionaries such as Ho Chi Minh, the group succeeded in bombing several symbolic targets, including the Pentagon and the Capitol building. Though the group issued warnings to evacuate their targets, inevitably some bystanders were injured. Against all odds, the most notorious Weathermen -- Bernadine Dohrn, Bill Ayers, Mark Rudd, Kathy Boudin -- all managed to elude the FBI.

After the end of the war in Vietnam in 1975, the group quickly fell apart as key members started turning themselves in. First came Rudd in 1977. Two years later, it was Ayers and Dohrn, who were married and raising two children. And in 1981, Kathy Boudin was finally caught in the botched Brink's robbery. Though the Weathermen's organization had killed no one but themselves, other groups inspired by their brand of violent radicalism killed and wounded a not insignificant number of innocent people."

re: #125 BlueCanuck

Most of our jurisprudence is based on English Common Law from the time of the Baron's revolt at Runnymede and the signing of the Magna Carte (if my lousy memory serves).

I cannot state it stongly or often enough - If policy that complies with the US Constitution is prosecuted, there WILL be blood spilled. I'm not advocating that horror, but imagine the consequences of allowing an unpopular (yet legal) policy being deemed a crime.

There would be no more rule of law. And that, boys and girls, is the end of the civilization game.

re: #125 BlueCanuck

Interesting. Must be nice where your civil code is pretty much in line with your military code. But then again our military law code was adopted from the British Empire practically whole cloth. Still called Queens Orders and Regulations(QR&O's for short).

well, there i was @ Ft Sam, going through 91Q school. one day towards the end of the school, i was talking to one of the instructors about an issue, and she said i should talk to my class leader, an E-6.

i said, "why bother? he's an idiot" or something along those lines, undoubtedly with a few more soldier type adjectives included. i then went on my way, thinking nothing more of it until our DS told me i was going to get an Art.15 for disrespecting an NCO or some such... he was thrilled, since he had been after me for some time, since he knew i didn't want to be there or in the service (i had just reenlisted for 6 years to get the school).

went to the little office in the barracks complex where the Defense JAG was (yes, they had that many issues), and talked with the ossifer there (a Captain). i told him my tale of woe and he stated that he already knew all about it, as he had talked with the drill and advised him what charges to file. he also told me that i should just take the Art 15, since it was really no big deal, and was kind of like a "letter of reprimand".

i politely aske him how many Art 15s he had, and he said none. i told him i had almost 10 years of service without one and didn't really want to break that streak. he just said i really had no choice.

i went back the the school building, and decided to talk to the JAG office there. that officer was a full bird Col, seconded from SF. we had talked about life in combat arms versus the medical field several times previously, so he knew me.

i ran down my story, and he said that since i hadn't said the remarks directly to the person in question, but rather voiced an opinion elsewhere, i may not have been diplomatic, but i hadn't broken any regs.

he, however, was *very* interested in the young Cpt volunteering to help the prosecution and in his encouraging people to take punishment, rather than defend them as he was supposed to do.

life got *very* interesting for him after that, and i got more than a few dirty looks when i saw him in the weeks i had left. my drill was pretty pissed too, but he was a jerk.

Also, the fact that something is on Obama's web site doesn't mean he necessarily believes it, or can't take it off his website and replace it with something totally different tomorrow.

If Obama wants to stick with his "surge is a bad idea" stance now, super. . .McCain will wipe the floor with him.

Idi Amin seemed to be an eloquent speaker too; He ins-laughter-pired his own people. Just like our own Hussein Obama

I know a man who will tell you how God warned him in a dream to get out, as fast as he could. He woke his wife, they grabbed their baby girl, jumped in the car, and left. They took nothing with them. And when they arrived at the border, the news was already waiting for him that Idi Amin's henchmen had murdered his father.

If necessary, he would work with the United Nations to establish an independent war crimes commission or a special investigator who can gather testimonies of survivors and investigate war crimes. Obama would supply armed escorts to civilians who voluntarily choose to move from religiously heterogeneous areas to communities where they feel they will be more secure.

the moonbats love to talk about "war crimes". Here's a post from an article in The Atlantic a few months back called "War Crimes!: An Elaboration.

If one reads Shirer's book "The Nightmare Years" about the rise of Nazi Germany, the reader will find, in the last chapters, the Allies tried and hung Nazis for such vague crimes as "genocide", "crimes against humanity" and "subverting the state".
These are war crimes that may well have been perpetrated by the neo-cons and many of those presently in power in Washington. It would be very interesting to see charges and verdicts in a tribunal such as the Hague free of influence from Washington.
United States invaded Iraq using as a pretext patent lies and fear mongering. Destroyed a centuries old civilization, destabilized a government, killed hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, has loosed upon the conquered nation a pandora's box of old tribal animosities for what purpose? Oil? Neo-con need for use of mindless military force and power?

Obama is so out of his depth here.

We invbaded Iraq BECAUSE Saddam Hussein was attempting to and succeeding in committing war crimes (genocide against Marsh Arabs, chemical weapons against Kurds, etc.). Obama says: The war was bad. So we'll withdraw from Iraq and THEN stop people from committing war crimes.

WTF? ? ? ?

The Obama Campaign should consider Keith Olbermann for Vice-President of the United States, in the Obama administration.
Mr. Olbermann has shown great courage, insight, and patriotism over the years, in his Special Comments.

He is an excellent communicator, a good, decent, and idealistic American.

He has a good sense of humor, and he is a good judge of character, people, and events.

Keith Olbermann tells it like it is!

I dont believe Democrats are socialist. Too many God-fearing, hard-working, patriotic people are smeared by extension. But I do believe a CHUNK of their party, currently in the drivers seat with Obama as leader, is.

And yes, Socialism is Fascist. Jonah Goldberg explains better here: Liberal Fascism: The Secret History From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning.

Good point

The way I like to look at Socialism is you have the ideal in the center, the nervana, the Utopian Society everyone wants to reach, but never can or will, and under that are to stretched out arms and on the Left are social Fascists and on the Right are Social Communists.

Two different groups with different methods to the same goal.

Only the harder they try the more they slip out to the far ends till the arms bend down, and the hands at the ends of those arms end up around the neck of some poor slob choking him to submission for the party, in Totalitarianism.

Socialism circle complete.

Actually by my analysis, those poll numbers put McCain ahead by 1%.

You have to remember to subtract the "Kerry Margin": Most national polls skew leftward 4% or so, as proven by what happened in 2004.

So, take the average numbers at RCP, subtract the 4% wishful thinking padding, and McCain's barely in the lead.

Aside from that, it's a statisical dead heat anyway. The gap is within the margin of error.

I THINK by the UCMJ, if you're courtmartialed for a crime and found innocent, you can subsequently be tried for the same crime in a civilian court depending on where it occurred.

In a foreign country, esp. one where the law is still being shaped, I'd bet it would be easy to throw a soldier to the Sharia wolves.

Well here's another way of looking at his not naming of names. All his supporters probably have their wet dream list of those that they would love to see prosecuted. So with the Obamessiah keeping it vague all his supporters will think that he will be using their list. I am willing to bet that B.H.O doesn't have a list but just threw that in there to garner support.

Everyone in this neighborhood, whatever they vote, whatever their race or religion, waves and is friendly when you walk or drive by. These people just stare and as you drive away, they look at each other. I kind of think they won't wave at us because of the Bush/Cheney sticker- on the other hand, they do it to everyone else also, so who knows. Another neighbor thinks they're from someplace "hip" and "cool", and they think we're all rubes. LOL

I'm sure it's been posted already but 'War Crimes' are mentioned in this PDF too:

Obama '08 - Iraq Fact Sheet

Obama would immediately begin to pull out troops engaged in combat operations at a pace of one or two brigades every month, to be completed by the end of next year. He would call for a new constitutional convention in Iraq, convened with the United Nations, which would not adjourn until Iraq’s leaders reach a new accord on reconciliation. He would use presidential leadership to surge our diplomacy with all of the nations of the region on behalf of a new regional security compact. And he would take immediate steps to confront the humanitarian disaster in Iraq, and to hold accountable any perpetrators of potential war crimes.

"Surge our diplomacy." - WTF?

I've been looking out for luxury cars with Obama stickers, here in SoFla, but so far I've noticed only broke-down hoopdees or economy cars with Obama bumperstickers.

You may think that doesn't go against common wisdom, but almost overwhelmingly in 2004 and early 2008, pricey Mercs and BMWs had Kerry/Edwards, or Hillary stickers.

Yesterday, I saw that elegant McCain bumpersticker (looks like something out of Top Gun, doesn't it?) on a Caddy, in a predominantly Jewish area. I was so excited, I wanted to take a photo.

He appears to be taking power away from the elected government of Iraq and handing it to the UN.

Wouldn't the UN or its designate then be in charge of prosecuting "war crimes"? Obama could seek to strip protections from our troops, basically sacrificing those who fought the war to appease those who lost it.

There needs to be pressure to demand a specific and detailed response from Obama on these items. Tough questions certainly are not going to come from Big Media. And without them, Obama will just say "This is not the kangaroo court I have known for all these years."

Obama is an empty suit, we all know that. The power of the Presidency is what matters, not one man. Congress has run roughshod over the last few years because W first tried to be a "uniter". After the dust settled after 9-11, the Dems and McCains of the world, tried (and still do) to limit the power of the President to conduct a war. If it takes an Obama to realize that we need a strong president to restore what I believe is the Framing Fathers intent, then so be it. I trust in our military to protect me and my own.

"I would rather have a failed Obama Admin for 4 years than have fault laid upon what's left of the Republican party."

That's hilarious. Do you really think that Big Media and a Democrat in the White House is going to blame anyone but Bush and the Republicans for every single problem that comes down the pipeline in the next four years.

Look at gasoline prices. When the Democrats took over both houses of Congress in January 2007, the average price at the pump in the US was $ 2.19/gallon. It has nearly doubled since the Dems took Congress. Now do you hear people outraged at the Democrats over gas prices? Are the media talking heads demanding that the Dems be held accountable? Is Joe Sixpack waving his fist at Harry Reid?

No. Overwhelmingly people are blaming Bush and the Republicans.

Now by what flight of fantasy do you think that fault will be laid on the Democrats if Obama is in the White House? Oh sure, Republicans will blame Obama, and some independents. Most of the talk radio hosts will try to hold him responsible. The rest? Big Media has the Big Megaphone, the liberals have the Big Bucks, and if you think that's going to change because the country will attack Obama for his mistakes you can buy the Brooklyn Bridge for cheap. Losing today is not a long term strategy for tomorrow, it's a prelude to intellectual bankruptcy.

I actually think she'd turn down the SCOTUS. Lots of folks already believe, and I agree, that she'd rather be a Ted Kennedy-type Senator -- an influential elder states(woman) type.

OTOH, Bill Clinton...he might do it. He's a lawyer after all, and there is a precedent in President William Howard Taft, becoming Chief Justice.

Obama might do it to consign Bill Clinton to a non-political sphere of influence, effectively neutralising him (and Bill is just vain enough to accept).

It is no more credible to blame the Democrats for gasoline price rises than it is to blame Bush or Republicans.

Overwhelmingly people are blaming Bush and the Republicans.

The only places I've seen that have been in obviously politically motivated web or print pieces. Most people I hear (on radio or TV) or read online do indeed scapegoat, but the favorite goats are: Oil Companies, OPEC, environmentalists, the "government" (generic.)

Losing today is not a long term strategy for tomorrow, it's a prelude to intellectual bankruptcy.

Agree about the first part, however I don't see how the last phrase follows.

re: #488 Suzette

Nor do I. Here's my reasoning. I don't think Obama will win. Mr. McCain has not helped to further the principles in which I believe, in fact, he has directly opposed them. The litany is long and there is a much better (and older) post describing them. Suffice to say McCain/Feingold, Gang of 14, McCain/Kennedy, McCain/Lieberman (oil tax, don't know the new name..Warner, I think?) So I can't vote for him without casting my beliefs aside, and for what? The Republican Party? No thanks. America is bigger than either party. People have opinions that are never heard, because they're either unspoken, unrepresented or censored. Here we can speak our minds and I have done so. May I have some fruitcup please?

Now, on the original topic, what exactly do they mean by "CANVASS?" That is a verb meaning, basically, to do a poll to collect opinions. Is that what they mean, or do they mean "Canvas" as in a painting? If they really mean Canvass for Change, then the title is an imperative statement basically ordering followers to go out and ask people what they want to change, and reflects someone who has no opinions of his own to promote, but simply wants to tell everyone to find out what exactly it is that he should change. If on the other hand he means Canvas, then our Harvard-educated friend needs a dictionary, or (as we already know) better web designers, or perhaps he just needs to read what people are writing on his site. Not one of those is an encouraging finding in a presidential candidate.

I don't understand all this urging to get behind McCain. If he isn't a shoe-in three or four months from now you can start laying into the slackers. Until then, I suppose letting the old man sweat a little would be unthinkable. Rewarded for trying to ram shamnesty down our throats. And to think that after doing something as revolting and incomprehensible like that, he's our only hope. Much better than the ineffectual one-term laughingstock that Obama would be.

But though I was of the opinion until February 2008 that it's better that McCain loses, since he's probably going to be an one-termer anyway, since then too much crap has come out about Obama.

re: #510 Mel Lono

Good question. From Wiki:

"Because the Constitution does not set forth any qualifications for service as a Justice, the President may nominate anyone to serve. However, that person must receive the confirmation of the Senate"

Remember that Truman appointed his poker buddies...it's a loose criteria. However, I did think of a negative in the meantime.

Justices often recuse themselves from the bench, if a topic involves them. This includes if they own shares in a company, whose suit is being heard.

Just this year, I heard on NPR, CJ Roberts and Alito sold shares (Pfizer, Exxon, etc.) because they recused themselves a few times last year, and the SCOTUS couldn't form a quorum!

526 Salem  Mon, Jun 9, 2008 2:12:39am

McCain clearly doesn't think he needs Conservative voters, anyway. His opponent is unraveling like a mummy. Good. Keep the pressure on Obama instead of interrogating Republicans on McCain. My non-vote will be a non-drop in a non-bucket. Right now, Republican antipathy toward McCain doesn't seem like something to be particularly concerned about.

I think Obama is headed for defeat but there are several things "we" (the pro-American bloggosphere) must do to ensure this outcome.

Obama is plainly the candidate of the media. We must therefore increase our efforts to discredit, to effectively overthrow, the shadow government that is the media-industrial complex. Their greatest asset has historically been their lack of accountability, since only their complicit fellow media were ever in a position to hold them to account. This has changed with the internet and other new media and we must hold their feet to the fire. This blog and many others constantly expose malfeasance and stupidity in the media. Our role is to spread this intelligence as far as possible, by word of mouth, internet posting, letters to the editor, etc. Frame it as "A vote for Obama is a vote for the media."

We must also persuade dogmatic conservatives that it is foolhardy to refuse to vote for McCain on some point of ideological purity. That kind of "purity" is for totalitarians, not for us.
Staying at home or voting for Bob Barr as a protest is childish and it will be rewarded the same way such behavior always is in the very adult world of conflict and politics: with victory for the opposition.

Ask them to imagine 4 years worth of Obama Supreme Court appointments. Whom will he appoint? Hillary has already been suggested. How about Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, both of whom are licensed attorneys as well as traitors and saboteurs? That may be too extreme even for Obama but, with a friend in the White House, Ayers and Dohn are on the verge of achieving their lifelong goal of revolution in America.

The mind boggles at the potential for a moonbat court and we will have to live with it until about 2040, if in fact democratic institutions can survive the leftist onslaught at all.

Similarly, if you try to chase a conservative toward McCain by listing negatives for Obama, they are probably going to run off and vote for Bob Barr. I think a better approach is to put together list of positive reasons to vote for McCain (If there are any)

There are. For starters, he has twenty years experience as an officer in the US Navy and another twenty in the US Senate. So he has good management and supervision skills, knows how to hold people accountable and how to get things done. He is familiar with both the military and Washington and has friends on both sides of the aisle on Capitol Hill. That can stand him in good stead when something needs to get done.

I can't stand AC. It collects dust in a big way, almost no one cleans it often enough and I end up with massive allergies. And going from AC to outdoors makes the heat and humidity seem 10X worse than it is.

re: #559 littleoldlady

WHAT YOU SAID. That is the biggest issue this election.

The Bamboozlement of the American People™.

How've you been?

Thanks. Actually I've had some health problems recently. Specifically, I had a heart attack a week ago today and did not escape from the hospital until Friday. I had to have a stent emplaced and I decided right there on the table that I would quit smoking. As Mark Twain once said, "It's easy to quit smoking: I've done it a hundred times," but this time it stuck. I haven't lit up one of my beloved Winstons for 6 days now.

What really did it was a point during the stent procedure when things did not seem to be going well at all. My heart had stopped, the docs had reached some kind of impasse, and I was beginning to lose consciousness. Being careful not to curse, even to myself, I thought well, this might be it. I also realized that smoking had probably been the biggest single contributor to my dire predicament.

As you can see, that was not it, the docs got control of things, and I am back among the living. The resolution has held, I will not smoke again even if they have to put me in a straitjacket and lock me in a padded cell until the withdrawal fades. I have smoked for 42 years so this is entirely new territory to me.
The straitjacket has proved not to be necessary since it isn't really that difficult now.

I also learned a lot about who my friends are and who they are not. A big part of my family was almost worthless through the whole ordeal. My mother, cousins, and assorted sibs were busy with my niece's wedding and could not be bothered with my little problems. I suppose it would have really pissed them off if I had disrupted their plans by inconveniently dying.
My erstwhile girlfriend failed to visit me at all, dredging up some grievance from three years ago as an excuse. I told her that I didn't need any craziness just then (day after the attack), and she started crying and hung up on me. Take it from an old hand, male lizardoids: A woman's emotional availability and maturity are more important than great boobs, especially at my age.

Otoh, my younger daughter was wonderful, as she usually is when the chips are down, my co-workers showed up in some numbers, and a couple I hadn't seen in two years came to visit.

I am very glad to be here this morning, to say the least.

So he has good management and supervision skills, knows how to hold people accountable and how to get things done.

I have seen no management or supervision from him in the senate.

He is familiar with both the military and Washington


Admittedly a plus.

has friends on both sides of the aisle on Capitol Hill.


Which is how he was able to form the "Gang of 14" to help the Dems block Bushes Judicial nominees

That can stand him in good stead when something needs to get done.

THE EMOTIONAL VS THE SCHOLARLY

I didn't read the full text of The McCain Doctrines when it came out, so I read it this morning. And this part just struck me:

A LOT OF McCAIN’S fellow veterans in Washington seem confounded by what they see as his obvious failure to absorb the lessons of Vietnam. Jack Murtha, the Pennsylvania congressman and decorated Vietnam vet who became an early and outspoken critic of the war, told me that watching Iraq unfold convinced him, for the first time, that American troops could never have prevailed in Vietnam, no matter how long they stayed. “These kinds of wars cannot be won militarily,” he said flatly. Another Democratic congressman with a Purple Heart, Mike Thompson of California, told me that promises of victory in Iraq sounded painfully familiar. “When I was in Vietnam, the members of Congress knew that we weren’t going to be there forever, that we would have to redeploy, and in the time between when they knew that and when we redeployed, a lot of boys were injured and killed,” Thompson said. “I think Senator McCain has been an outstanding public servant, but I think he’s wrong on this.”

In McCain’s mind, however, there is a different kind of symmetry linking Vietnam and Iraq. Talking to him about it, you come to understand that he has, indeed, applied lessons from the first war to the second — but they are the lessons that he learned not in combat or in the Hanoi Hilton but in the pages of the books he read at the National War College in the 1970s. To McCain, the first four years of the Iraq war, as prosecuted by the Bush administration, seem strikingly similar to the years in Vietnam before Creighton Abrams arrived on the scene.


I think it's pretty darned amazing that he can set aside his emotional attachment to Vietnam and look at it scholarly and theoretically. And after I read this segment, I did notice that it seems people like Kerry,Murtha, etc. still feel the emotions of Vietnam while John McCain has tried to study it, like one would study ancient military battles.

I just thought that was really interesting.

[Link: www.tryingtogrok.com...]

I think it's interesting, too. I also think that it is interesting how, in our society, the 'feelers' have supplanted the 'thinkers' in a lot more areas than this.

I get great enjoyment from writing funny posts, but Boys, this sumbeech just puts me in the shade. If I scribble for a thousand years, I'll never produce a side-splitter like this. I doff my cap to the master...

This is from the Pakistan Daily, from the country going bat shit insane over a few inoffensive drawings.

It is all the fault of those sneaky devious jooos. Not just the Israelis, but the hidden jooos of the House of Saud (seriously) and the jooo controlled KGB.

And they whine about a couple of motoons.

Al Queda may be a Jewish organization and Osama bin Laden may be Jewish. These are the two points I will try to make in this essay. This is not an attempt to foist blame on the Jews, to victimize them or scapegoat them, something that has occurred throughout history. It is not intended to be an attack on Jews or an exercise in anti-Semitism. It is however, intended to raise questions.

If indeed my contention is correct, that bin Laden is Jewish and al Queda is a Jewish organization, then it is also true that some conclusions can be drawn about Jews in general and about the religion, the ideology, and the social structure of Judaism vis-à-vis or from the perspective of non-Jews, especially about world Jewry as an organized social and political phenomenon which revolves around the modern-day nation-state of Israel,

(...)

While not forgetting, the task of the Jewish philosopher is to “enjoy” and to “live life to the fullest,” “–L’chai-em!” The existence of Jews today is thus celebrated by the phrase “We the living,” or the phrase, “The living are here.”

(...)

Upon visiting the public library and consulting a Hebrew-English dictionary, I learned that “al chai” (pronounced “al-khai”) could mean “the” plus “living,” or, “the living” in Hebrew. I also learned that “da” translates “are here” in German. Thus, the phrase “The living are here” would be “al chai da.” Al Queda is also written “al-Qaida (Dean, Schwartz), which carries with it the same pronunciation as “al chai da.” Thus, depending on how you pronounce it, al Queda can mean “The living are here.”

(...)

According to Richard A. Clarke in Against All Enemies, this al Queda is a Jewish organization created and operated by Jews loyal to Israel. This al Queda recruits, tempts, engenders hatred in, and then uses Arab Muslims. It engenders and then manipulates and channels this hatred in young Arab Muslim males and then directs it against targets of its own choosing in the form of violence. It uses religion –Wahhabi Islam, an aberrant form of Islam rejected by 90% of the Muslim world, to accomplish this end. Clarke argues that Wahhabi Islam was begun by Arab Jews and has been nourished, fostered, and promoted by the house of Saud since the 1700’s.

Clarke suggests that the Sauds are actually Jews living in Saudi Arabia under complete secrecy and under the cover of being nominally and outwardly Arab. Although it might sound like a contradiction in terms, Clarke also suggests that Osama bin Laden is a Saudi Arabian Jew. So is Saudi Prince Turki Al-Faisal, the former head of Saudi Intelligence, Saudi Prince Bandar, the Saudi Ambassador to the United States, and Bandar’s father, the Saudi Minister of Defense, as described in Richard A. Clarke’s books, Against All Enemies and The Scorpion’s Gate.

Clarke implies that this “al Chai da” could possibly be the Israeli Mossad’s answer to anti-Israeli Arab terrorism.

(...)

The difficulty for Jews is that this meaning of the phrase can only be taught in a cult of secrecy.

(...)

The most logical explanation for President George W. Bush’s behavior with respect to these questions is: Osama bin Laden and George W. Bush were working together.

(...)

595 razorbacker  Mon, Jun 9, 2008 3:40:17am

to finish it up, for who among us can be satisfied with a partial portion of nuts?...

The KGB also had to have been controlled by Jews loyal to Israel, who aided the Jewish-controlled mujahedeen in making off with the weapons. The military ruler of Pakistan also had to be Jewish, and a Jew loyal to Israel. The CIA, smelling betrayal, assassinated both the military ruler of Pakistan and Ambassador Arnold Raphel in retaliation, as Clarke says in Against All Enemies.

And they want to lecture us on what is and isn’t offensive? This stuff isn’t even fiskable, gob smacked immobility, incredulous silence and an oscar winning stunned mullet impersonation are the only possible responses.

Electing Obama would mean a leap to the radical left in our affairs of state, just as it was with Jimmy Carter, or even worse. But what remains is the deception that will occur.

Now that Obama is pivoting for the general election, and will be seeking to pull the wool over everyone's eyes by redefining himself as a person of the political center, it is fortunate that there are the records, in various media, showing the positions that Obama has taken.

He cannot go from radical left in the Dem nominating contest to a pretend-centrist in the general, without leaving lots of evidence of his flip-flopping, and he has to be called on that.

re: #606 galloping granny

Don't I just love magical disappearing posts! What I wrote, Neo, was this -

We should elect Senator John McCain to be President John McCain for two reasons.

First, the alternative is a very junior senator from Illinois by way of Indonesia who has absolutely no experience at anything, does not keep his promises, lies repeatedly, throws grandmas & pastors under the bus, holds no opinion on anything, has a crappy voting record, is an outright Marxist who clearly states that he intends to "perfect our union" and carries a God complex around with him so big he thinks that his election will "heal the oceans." A vote for a third party candidate or worse, sitting out the election, is a vote for Barrack Hussein Obama.

Second, Senator John McCain, whether you agree with him or not, has served this nation most days of his life since he was 17 years old. He has always done so to the best of his ability, sometimes under circumstances that would break most of us, and he has done so with honor. He has proven many times that he is a man who is good in a crisis, one that can be trusted not to knowingly destroy our nation.

Cool. Some of the war-dogs Cortez took to Mexico in 1519 were mastiffs, most of the rest were Irish wolfhounds. They had been trained to kill by methods refined through five centuries of fighting Muslim invaders. Those who joke about converting jihadis to dog food only think they are kidding.

Yes, as you already know the guy is a total f`ng idiot. For very starts, the Hebrew article "the" (ha) and the Arabic article (al) have nothing to do with one another. the roots for Chai and al-qa`ida, are totally unrelated, the first meaning life and the second meaning base. They are not even root-cousins re "Shalom" and "Islam," though I am sure and when I get around to it that there is indeed some Hebrew or Aramaic word for "foundation" that uses some of the consonants.

Judging by the security of his website, I pray we never give him the chance to run national security. If we do, we are all screwed.

Speaking of his website and the security thereof, I wonder just how long it would take a half-competent hacker to acquire a list of all of his donors, supporters and so forth. After all, these idiots don't have the sense to put an index page in the directories. No one could really believe the important stuff is secure.

Perhaps so, but it certainly gives rise to the question of whether or not he would even been a US Senator had he been honest. Senator is a pretty important position for a lot of folks. Besides the obvious, they spend quite some little bit of time straightening out messes for the people of their district. Changing Senators means changing the whole staff, the new folks don't have the connections the old ones did and so on. And changing a senator in the middle of a term is a huge mess and a pretty burdensome expense - special elections cost millions.

America has no native criminal class...except Congressthanks Mark Twain

June 6th is clearly a day of pride for the American military. Today, you'll read many articles (rightly so) recalling the heroism of allied forces as they pushed into Europe on June 6, 1944.

Seems like a good time for our nation's leaders to demonstrate their resolve in supporting American men and women who are today fighting an enemy equally as evil. That's what you would expect.

So, on the anniversary of D-Day, the country is engaged in fighting a ruthless enemy on multiple fronts; a burden that incidentally is being carried in large part by the Special Operations community and what do Democrats in congress do for the war effort on this sacred day?

They put secret holds on promotions for General Officers for purely political posturing.

The first hold on two key military promotions was imposed by a Democrat last month. It blocked, among others, Army Lt. Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal to be director of the Joint Staff once the Senate confirms his fourth star. Gen. McChrystal will depart as commander of the Joint Special Operations Command, which is on the frint line of the war on terrorism.

Also on hold is Navy Rear Adm. William H. McRaven, head of Special Operations Command Europe (SOCEUR), who is slated to replace Gen. McChrystal.

IMHO leaving the helm of the Joint Special Operations Command unmanned, in a time of war, for political posturing is nothing short of treason. If this isn't providing aid to enemy, what the hell is it!?

Hurumph. What he said.

You seem particularly obtuse this morning Neo. Why don't you go back and reread the entire conversation. I've already given you a list of many of McCain's strong points - and you have agreed with some of them. Whether his particular position on any given subject is "right" is a matter of individual opinion.

You will never in your lifetime find a candidate whose every position on everything you will agree with. Look at it in the same way as you would if you were hiring for the president of your company. You would look for experience, leadership qualities, proven abilities in a crisis - not total agreement with your own opinions. After all, if all you want is total agreement with your own positions, then you can be the president of your company your self.

I don't know who this stupid git is but, he sounds like the *real* whiner.

English actor Rupert Everett reportedly accused British soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan of being "whining wimps".

According to the U.K's Daily Mail, the 49-year-old gay actor — whose father is retired major in the British Army — said the troops today "are always whining about the dangers of being killed. Oh my God, they are such wimps now!" he said.

He was comparing them to those in the 19th century, in particular to that of soldier and adventurer Sir Richard Burton. Everett just completed a documentary about him for Britain's Channel 4, called The Victorian Sex Explorer.

Out armed forces as they are presently composed and trained will not follow the kinds of orders that Marxists usually issue. Therefore the Armed Forces must be destroyed or terrorized into submission.

As you state, they will not follow unlawful orders. In fact, they are legally obligated not to! It is possible then that the Armed Forces, if used by Obama to perpetrate purges as has been discussed here, could refuse and then depose Obama and everyone connected with him.

"By Hugo from Pittsburgh, PA Today at 3:13 am EDT
How to explain the reaction of Obama?

It is surely the power of the Jewish lobby which explains the issue. Some scholars said that they control over 50% of TV and national press; their elites are one of the profiteers from war and its privatization; they control almost 40% finance speculative business (they are behind the auction houses by banks, foreclosure), but these are all speculations, there is no exact figure on the matter. What the Jews have admitted is that 40% of funds donated to Democrats in the primaries (especially the lady Hillary) came from the Jewish lobby. If this is so, Obama's speech at the Jewish lobyy in AIPAC was not free from corruption. [Financial contributions from Jewish donors account for as much as 20 percent of Republican campaign funds and as much as 40 percent of Democratic funds, according to a recent article by the Forward, the largest nationally circulated Jewish newspaper in the U.S.]. But why kneel to them, why to sell the conscience for a fistful of dollars? Why not request the democratization of the media and the mobilization of people against the auction from their homes by predatory banking?."

So here's the deal Hugo the Obama supporter from Pittsburgh...

She almost physically recoiled and asked "why is that on display? Not that Warhol was that bad as far as modern artists go (I don't think) but to have Glorious Marxism on display like that to someone so recently from that world was apparently a bit much for her.

re: #744 doriangrey

I never said that was a good thing. I only stated that it was possible: From Time Magazine by way of Wikipedia:

According to Time magazine, on November 21, 2003, Tommy Franks said that in the event of another terrorist attack, American Constitutional liberties might be discarded by popular demand in favor of a military state. Discussing the hypothetical dangers posed to the U.S. in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks, Franks said that “the worst thing that could happen” is if terrorists acquire and then use a biological, chemical or nuclear weapon that inflicts heavy casualties.

If that happens, Franks said, “... the Western world, the free world, loses what it cherishes most, and that is freedom and liberty we’ve seen for a couple of hundred years in this grand experiment that we call democracy.”

Franks then offered “in a practical sense” what he thinks would happen in the aftermath of such an attack.

“It means the potential of a weapon of mass destruction and a terrorist, massive, casualty-producing event somewhere in the Western world – it may be in the United States of America – that causes our population to question our own Constitution and to begin to militarize our country in order to avoid a repeat of another mass, casualty-producing event. Which in fact, then begins to unravel the fabric of our Constitution."

Wow, this PDF flyer says BHO aims to "end the war responsibly" by doing all that's listed there. This is what he thinks would be "responsible"? Announcing how many brigades he'd pull out, on a public timetable, and thereby make them, and those left behind, sitting ducks? And essentially bailing on the Iraqi people? And leaving it up to the UN (for Chrissakes!) to broker the convention?

Utterly irresponsible. Obama should be allowed nowhere near a public office, let alone the White House.

re: #4 DesertSage

Who hasn't been held accountable for war crimes?

At present, every Marine who has fired a round is in danger of being prosecuted by the Military, and that has nothing to do with B-HO. They have gone after so many war crimes that were simply actions in battle that it is getting to the point where no sane person will want to serve, let alone command.

re: #765 galloping granny

The American military in general is also forbidden by law from actions within the United States other than to provide humanitarian relief like they did in Katrina. Posse comitatus. Individual governors can use their own state National Guard to quell riots but that is about it.

People seem to forget that the oath of the Military is to safeguard and protect the Constitution of US from all enemies, foriegn and domestic. If he ever gets near the shiny history eraser button and starts acting goofy or starts trying to do illegal purges/deliberately destroy the US/Military "just because" there is a duty for the US Military to treat him like any other enemy. The oath is NOT directly to protect the POTUS or Congress or even leadership, only to follow their orders in accordance with the UCMJ which eventually has caveats about not following illegal orders etc...

I ___ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice

So here is what I think the Obamatons will say in defense of the Messiah -

"Well of course we should prosecute war criminals. Anyone who has committed a war crime should be brought to justice, shouldn't they?"

The answer doesn't address the fact that the flyer infers that war criminals aren't being prosecuted and that the reason has to do with exercise of presidential power. But the Obamatons don't ever go that deep.

"Surge of Diplomacy Called by Obama Hits Snag" Reuters/AP

Candidate Obama, basking in the glow of his multi-nation meeting of diplomats in Baghdad, was visibly shaken when he heard the news that the diplomats were, to a man, murdered by al-Qaeda IEDs and RPGs while nearing the designated meeting-hall.

"That's not the diplomacy I knew or wanted..." he was heard to mutter.

By forcing lending institutions to make loans to people who should be renting not buying on terms that are guaranteed to readjust upwards (the fed funds rate was negative against inflation. the fed was paying people to borrow money), Acorn and their ilk created a market in which was bound to implode. Sadly, the people most effected are those that Acorn pretends to be helping. Of course, they will blame it on the "greedy banks" and "greedy portfolio managers" and "greedy hedge funds", but last time I looked the price on all of the above were down quite a bit on the year.

From my email this morning, a reminder of the people that some Obamites may regard as 'war criminals.'


The return.
I took this photo at the Marine Corps Air Station in Beaufort, South Carolina as a group of U.S. Marines were returning home from the war in Iraq. As soon as they arrived, it began to downpour. I was lucky enough to capture the joy they were all feeling as they were getting drenched in the rain (which most of them hadn't seen in months), coupled with finally getting to see their families again.
The two people walking and embracing are brother and sister. This was such a wonderful moment for everyone and I'm so happy I was able to capture it for them!
