Advice. Always easier to give than take.

Medea Benjamin...yeah, take your defense advice from her...

Will the military have to wear pink camoflage now?

Nominating Gates to stay, “would be a violation of the mandate for change that Obama says he represents,” said Medea Benjamin, cofounder of the anti-war group CodePink.

Right on schedule. Pink feather boas and all.

Moron.

They want a Non-Defense Secretary.

Well, the Left sure has been strident about all the kooks and creeps advising Bush the last 8 years, so I guess turn about is fair play, right?

I have a number of things I could say about peace activists. some of which would get me banned here.

Madness.

Every "peace" symbol on display increases the chance of war.

When will these idiots understand it is the Department of Defense, not Offense. Thats like a goalie with no hands trying to play soccer.

Nothing new about his being one big ass RINO, that's for sure.

I better eat a few good meals before these nominations start coming out. I got a feeling its gonna be tought to keep anything down?

So everyone just rolls over and accepts that Obama's campaign fundraising will not be investigated. No fight. Just resigned acceptance. Sickening. Are there no crusaders for justice left in this world?

A better bipartisan fit for Obama, they say, is Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.), who brings out what they like about Gates – his ability to deal with grovel before Russia, Iran and Syria

Fixed.

The Far Left helped him defeat Hillary, and then McCain. He has had a plethora of Far Left advisors. Why would anyone believe that he would do anything, but appoint leftists?

Medea would probably like Cindy as SecDef as well...

"He (Krushchev) has told them (his people) that we are retreating under the pressure of the Cold War, and when the time comes for the ultimatum our surrender will be voluntary because by that time we will have weakened from within spiritually, morally, and economically. He believes this because from our side he hears voices pleading for peace at any price, or better Red than dead, or as one commentator put it, he'd rather live on his knees than die on his feet. And therein lies the road to war, because those voices don't speak for the rest of us. You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery."

Ronald Reagan, "A Time for Choosing," 1964

Oh, this is a stellar Idea. This will set an excellent tone for any terrorists out there that are feeling threatened by the posibillity of an Obama Administration.

An anti-war for the defense department? Well, why not? Let me see, for example, Ward Churchill? or Bill Ayers?

Better yet, why not you buy a decent cargo of white flags from France and surrender at all?

I would love to see Medea Benjamin and all Code Pinkers in pink burkhas...

Funny, those anti-war activists hate more your soldiers, airmen, sailors and marines than the enemy.

If Code Pink existed in the Revolutionary War between the UK and the USA, Medea and her gang would be the British best allies. And that is called in some countries treason.

Yes, we all know the old argument that dissent is the best form of patriotism...

It takes a complaint to launch an investigation. You know that the Kos Kooks spend hours and hours every day firing off emails detailing all sorts of hallucinations to places like the FEC, among others.

Has anyone handed in any formal complaints against the Obama campaign? I would think that the FEC would be particularly interested in the whole credit card rigging that took place on the campaign's website, allowing essentially anonymous contributions in any amount from anyone and anywhere to be made. But the FEC, like most agencies, is reactive rather than proactive. They typically wait until they receive some number of complaints before investigating.

Get over to their website and drop them a line. Maybe mention the whole "Joe the Plumber" fiasco, as well, although I'm not sure that would be within the FEC's purview.

Because the classic architecture of DC will not stand up to her screeching. It will crumble for sure.

ISRAEL IS THE PROBLEM
Our problem…. - Justin Raimondo - October 6, 2003

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, and it looks like we may be in for a possible replay of that horrific disaster in which tens of thousands lost their lives. Yesterday, Israel bombed alleged "terrorist camps" in Syria. The excuse: yet another suicide bombing in Israel, this time taking 19 innocent lives, immediately claimed by Islamic Jihad (which denied having military bases in Syria). This was one of the deadliest suicide bombings since the beginning of the Intifada, but in principle no different from the dozens of other vicious acts of terror that are now a feature of daily life in Israel.
[snip]

The Christian apocalyptic vision of Armageddon in the Middle East – its inevitability and desirability as a portent of the Second Coming of Christ – is the key to understanding conservative Republican support for our war policy in Iraq. The fundies are perfectly aligned with neoconservative efforts to spread the conflict to Syria, Iran, and beyond, a development that would fulfill not only Biblical prophecy, but also the direst predictions of anti-war advocates.

Ahmad Yousuf, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh's political advisor, said that during the recent US presidential race a secret meeting between senior Islamist group figures and advisors to President-elect Barack Obama was held in Gaza.

"We were in contact with a number of Obama's aides through the Internet, and later met with some of them in Gaza, but they advised us not to come out with any statements, as they may have a negative effect on his election campaign and be used by Republican candidate John McCain (to aRahmttack Obama)," Yousuf said in an interview with London-based Arabic-language newspaper Al-Hayat, published Tuesday.

re: #98 Mich-again

A prudent and speedy fashion. Who the F* writes this crap? He proposes retreating from Iraq as fast as can be done without hurrying.

There are already rumblings of massive backpedaling on the famous 16 Month Promise. I don't think they ever took it seriously to begin with; it was a ploy to rope in the Left - and the not-so-left. It's an unpopular war, no matter how you slice it. But the reality of moving troops and equipment through a couple of very narrow exit points, and leaving a bloodbath in your wake, is not something O is going to want hanging around his neck. The military has said this timetable is impossible, and he'll use that as an excuse to stay there longer. Or at least one would hope. At the present time, things are certainly on the upswing in Iraq, but it's easy for anyone to see that pulling out now and leaving them without any security is a recipe for disaster.

I'm sure he'll throw the loons a bone or two. But let's face it - they're going to be last in line for practical reasons. They're not ever going to vote for anyone else, nothing short of handing the White House over to China and Russia is ever going to make them happy, and O is showing all kinds of signs of waffling over toward the middle, as all Presidents do.

I'd say this yapping is just that. It's a non-starter, although like everything else it bears watching.

Let's just remember that we are living the peace created by Clinton.

Was that supposed to be a joke, "the peace created by Clinton"?

Apparently, Pelosi won something like 71%-17% against Sheehan.

In the past, Pelosi has enjoyed an 80% toll. So this is a come-down.

Too bad. I really wanted Sheehan to win. If we're going to have a Democratic Congress, might as well pack it full of fruits and nuts so everyone gets a daily reminder of just what they've bought into.

no it was not a "joke" per se, but my way of showing that they guy Obama has picked, and that the Jewish left is claiming is Pro-Israel pretty much created the situation (although to say he created it is a bit harsh) we are living in now.

If the "peace" we have now is what you want to have 10 years from now, then Rahm is your "pro-Peace" kind of guy.

So much for "change" though when you just repeat what was done two president's ago.

The time has come - we must build the Nuance Bomb.

Joint Chiefs: Mr. President - there is a crisis in the middle east. A rogue faction of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard has armed missles with nuclear war heads and are fueling them. They will be ready to launch on Israel in 1 hour. What shall we do?

Obama: Once again, I am thrust into a crisis by destiny. [pauses to think, scratching his chin in a manner that would make Juan Cole swoon] Worry not, gentlemen. I have the solution.

Joint Chiefs: What is it Mr. President? We are giddy in anticipation.

Obama: Deploy the Nuance Bomb.

Joint Chiefs: On whom?

Obama: Imbeciles! Israel and Iran, of course! I will then reinforce the impact of the deployment with a series of phone calls and an announcement declaring that all parties should avoid violence!

Joint Chiefs: Brilliant! If only we had you as Commander in Chief when Saddam was still administering Iraq!

Letter from Wildbeggar:

Today is Veteran's Day, and on New Year's Day it will be 40 years since I boarded a
flight from Vietnam on my last trip home from another year trying to do what I could
to preserve the freedom of a struggling country. I still hurt over the loss of Vietnam
to the communists in 1975, but I like a lot of others did our best to do what we
were ordered to do. Your uncles Frank and John and I were just a few of the men and women who served during a time when it was not popular to serve. I still
have pride knowing that what we did was honorable and right though not supported
by many in this country. Now, we are faced with another unpopular fight and still
not supported by many who think that we should disengage. They have no sense
of honor and support for their country. They think only of themselves, their jobs
but do not know that their freedoms and liberty are protected by those who are
and have served selfishly to protect them. They do not feel the pride of a veteran who sees a U.S. flag, to them it is not the symbol of freedom and sacrifice but
just a colorful banner to fly from a pole. To a veteran it is the symbol to cover the
casket of a dead serviceman who served, a rallying point, a tribute to a mother
who lost a son or daughter and an icon to freedom from people all over the world.
I am and will always be proud to have served the greatest nation God has created.
Love...Dad

The West Wing! That simplifies a lot!

Watch what happens this weekend with the Summit when the Euro's move to shove their gheerate idears of an economic and market system down our throats:

Sarkozy and European leaders would like to build on the momentum they gained in crafting bank-bailout programs that served as models for U.S. reforms.{ed: the SoB's didn't even know they were in trouble they were so busy chuckling over our economic concerns they didn't realized they'd swollowed their own poison-pilled}But the four principles on which they agreed are vague, due to the difficulty in melding the positions of France and other countries that seek tight regulation, with that of Britain, which wants to avoid unduly restrictive positions.

The four principles:

-No financial institution, no market segment and no jurisdiction must escape proportionate and adequate regulation or at least oversight

-The international financial system must be based on principles of accountability and transparency

-There should be an early warning system to warn against future financial crises

-Warnings of potential financial crises will fall to the International Monetary Fund (IMF)

We're going to submit our systems & economy to the oversight of the IMF?

What would or will the big O do?

Do they realize that the Secretary of Defense's JOB is to make sure that the US military is ready for war at any given time at any given place? That the Defense dept MUST HAVE a plan of retaliation against any and all possible threats to the US and her citizens?

Do they realize that the Secretary of State's JOB is to facilitate peace where possible but to ADVANCE UNITED STATES SECURITY throughout the world?

Wild-ass anti-Semitic conspiracy theory, no less.

Two comments from a drooling reader review should tell you all you need to know about the people who buy such trash:

Bruno says:
Read Jane's Defence Weekly and other security magazines to know just how much was already known in the US. 9/11 has nothing to do with the Israelis and everything to do with American blindness and unwillingness to see the signs. Have you forgotten the previous World Towers attack - the trial was well-reported - nothing happened in 9/11 that wasn't already said or implied there. To suggest that the Israelis knew something and didn't speak out is missing the point entirely. People in the FBI and other US agencies spoke out and were not listened to.

antizion says:
Bruno, Janes is a major publication, therefore, without even taking the time to look, I can tell you that it is owned by jews. Therefore, they are not going to admit that not only did Isreal know about it, they financed, planned, and carried it out. Isreal, slash zionist, slash world jewry, has been behind every major war, conflict, economic crash, and act of terror for the past 300 years. That's not to say jews in general, but jew leadership. Admit it or not, it's true.

In July 2007, Hagel was one of three Republican Senators who supported the legislation proposed by Democrats to require a troop withdrawal to begin within 120 days. "This thing is really coming undone quickly, and [Prime Minister] Maliki's government is weaker by the day. The police are corrupt, top to bottom. The oil problem is a huge problem. They still can't get anything through the parliament—no hydrocarbon law, no de-Baathification law, no provincial elections," (stated in Robert Novak Interview with Hagel published in the Washington Post: "Hagel's Stand".)
