Can this guy possibly be for real?

If the US is at war and under attack in Iraq, isn't it treasonable to support the enemy ?

Don't forget Ken, we aren't at war, no congressional declaration of war, and Bush's war is illegal!

I think this means that America is beginning to realize that we are in this all the way. If the shoppers outnumber the protesters, we're winning.

Did the lead Communist ever stop to think that he's the one obsessed with material wealth? His whole philosophy is based on class, violence, and theft. I'd buy a crate of candles to throw at Communists.

If the US is at war and under attack in Iraq, isn't it treasonable to support the enemy ?

The Dems (or most of them anyway...) do not believe we're at war or under attack, so no, it's not treasonable.

Yeah. They talk of chickenhawks, what about chickeninsurgens... ugh, I mean chickenfreedomfighters.

Oh wait... That isn't going to last...

I want to see what happens to #17.

Is that Zuniga's dad?

zulubaby: didn't you know? We try not to mention the dreaded comment #17.

Which comment?

Sorry. But it's still there!

What is?

That photograph almost made me vomit. I'll bet that useless waste of space did exactly the same thing during the Vietnam War, except then his 'solidarity' would have been with the VietCong who were torturing and killing his own countrymen.

Now he feels 'solidarity' with Islamic savages who are threatening to burn non-military personnel to death.

If there is ever a terrorist attack in SF (God forbid), I sincerely hope he and his friends are among the victims. Then his barbarian friends in the ME can dance in the streets and celebrate his death - I'm sure they wont stop to wonder about his 'solidarity' or whose side he was on.

Nothing is bad enough for these traitors. May they burn in hell.

For mini second I thought the sign said “Solidarity with the Insurgents of Fajitas!”

Salaam

In any case I ask all our friends not to be too emotional and weak stomached, and above all not to help the enemy in what he is desperate to achieve, i.e. defeatism and despair.

These people who so freely protest freedom are such tools.

The slogan "Solidarity with the Fallujah Resistance/Insurgents" which is seen in several of these photos is from the Iraqi Resistance Solidarity Network - their hate-drenched site also calls for

"Victory to Iraq in the War of National Liberation!!!
Death to US Imperialism!!!
Long Live Palestine, FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA!!!
Death to the Zionist Entity!!!"

Here is their sick page on Fallujah, promising "Link to Canadian Video News Footage of the Mercenary Pigs Getting What They Deserve!!!"

Where you movin' to, Piglet?

Reference those pictures. Damn, I hate to have people get in my way when I'm shoppin'. I'd have been stompin' on fingers all the way across the street if I'd been there. Dumbasses.

Now if there are any like protests around here (NOT likely) I have to decide whether spike heel shoes or work boots would be more appropriate for stomping on hands and kicking at asses...my thoughts are probably work boots. I'd hate to lose my balance on them spike heels and maybe defile myself by actually touching one (shudder).

My only complaint with the guy (from the LGF quiz) is that he missed some seriously good lines from several sources.

I was thinking about the comments around here and some of the commentors over the past hours, and I think I finally came up with a good way of explaining what actually goes on around here.

The comments around here reflect the breadth of opinion from the "center" to the "far-right" in our national political dicussions on national security and the relationship between Islam and the West. I cannot think of any non-troll regular poster that would be happily accepted at the Democratic National Convention in July of this year. The decision we have all made is this: our national security is more important than any other consideration in times of crisis, and thus the only way to survive is to confront the problem, since there is only one victor in war.

Because of the decisions we've made, anyone that does not subscribe to this decision will view us all as vile, disgusting and, generally speaking, less than human. There are many reasons people will not admit we are at war, but, regardless of their reasons, they are still wrong; our enemies declared war long ago and have acted in such a fashion for over 30 years. Thus the discussion in this forum is to question our response and discussion of the possiblities for further action.

The other issue involved in these forums is that there are people who argue bloody solutions to the problems with face, but, it is not death that is the contension, it is how much death will be necessary to win?

The only real problem the can crop up with some posters, myself included, is when something happens that makes us quite angry, thus we allow yourselves to say things we normally would not advocate due to the anger. Other than that, this is easily the most intelligent and humanitarian bunch of people I've never met but that I've been lucky enough to be a part.

Do you regard the pulling down of Saddam’s statue in Baghdad on 9th of April last year as the start of liberation of an Arab capital or occupation?

Two to one, they responded "liberation"

Arab TV Airs Tape of 'Two Dead U.S. Officers'

DUBAI (Reuters) - Arab television station Al Jazeera aired a tape on Sunday showing the bodies of two men it said were U.S. intelligence officers killed in the Sunni town of Falluja.

"The audio recording accompanying the footage said the two men were intelligence officers working in Iraq," Al Jazeera said.

The video tape showed the bloodied bodies of two foreign men lying on the ground, one shot in the back and another in the leg, surrounded by several Iraqi men.

It was not clear when the footage was filmed or by whom.

Several foreigners have been killed, kidnapped or gone missing over the past week, putting pressure on U.S. allies, including Japan, Britain, Spain and Italy.

Those missing include two U.S. soldiers, several contractors and two German embassy security guards.

Leaders in the besieged city of Falluja are calling on Iraqi guerrillas battling U.S. Marines to start a truce on Sunday morning to end a week of fighting that has cost hundreds of lives.

U.S. Marines launched a crackdown there last Monday following the killing and mutilating of four U.S. private security guards in the city the previous week.

We are a grassroots, collectively managed radio station dedicated to broadcasting the vibrant voices of the Bay Area community and beyond. Our goal is to train and empower youth, womyn, minority, working/lower class, impoverished, persecuted, queer and alternative voices to take back their airwaves and use them as a tool for radical change in their local and global communities. We are committed to researching the news and issues that are blacked out by the popular media and creating a space for them to be heard and utilized. Our very existence is a statement about our refusal to accept what is filtered down to us through mainstream TV, print and radio - we are disrupting business as usual by re-appropriating our lines of communication and speaking truth to power. We are the people, we are the media and we are dissenting from the ground up. Tune in...

The Left would be funny if they weren't so dangerous.

Hey, give them a state! To whom? The peaceniks!

But our greatest threat, apart from the immediate one of terrorism, is our complacency. When some ascribe, as they do, the upsurge in Islamic extremism to Iraq, do they really forget who killed whom on 11 September 2001? When they call on us to bring the troops home, do they seriously think that this would slake the thirst of these extremists, to say nothing of what it would do to the Iraqis?

Tony Blair gets it. And I agree with you that GWB could learn some things from him, like how to lead, visibly.

No worries - several places in the SE will have Foster's -- sometimes even on tap!

Finally, I find San Francisco’s position ironic. The position this city has taken concerning military exercises puts it right in line with many of the extreme militia groups. These groups believe that military urban exercises in our nations’ cities are a cover for a United Nations (or other international or national organizations) plot to undermine or take over the United States. Their opposition is as stringent as San Francisco’s. Strange bedfellows.

General Krulak’s description: "In one moment in time, our service members will be feeding and clothing displaced refugees - providing humanitarian assistance. In the next moment, they will be holding two warring tribes apart - conducting peacekeeping operations. Finally, they will be fighting a highly lethal mid-intensity battle. All on the same day, all within three city blocks. It will be what we call the three block war."

I've really got to wonder if the LLL has fully considered the consequences of their beleifs.

If the Islamofscists win they're all dead or enslaved.

If the conflict drags out too long (as their efforts make likely) the America that wins the war will be a much meaner and nastier place with vastly less patience for its perceived enemies, foreign and domestic.

Note the domestic part. That means you, moonbats.

#111

You don't understand. What you are doing is called "thinking". The process of thinking leads you to conclusions that make feel one way or another.

What the LLLs do is called "feeling". They get an imediate feeling about something and then think of ways to explain and justify it.

What they are engaged in is a Pavlovian process. War is bad. Bush fights a war. Salivate. Think of smart-ass posters to make Bush look bad and reasons to hate him.

OT - while all the backseat driving of the country and conflict in Iraq is occurring, a highly significant story is developing in Israel U.S. to declare Israel won't have to withdraw to 1949 border

This is absolutely wonderful news in my opinion but I must add the following warning, 'The Seething Threat Meter' exceeded operational safety limits and will remain pegged in the 'Middle-East and Persian - Tilt, Tilt, Tilt' zone for the forseeable future.

So much for being anti-war.

#113:

From your article:

Israel also expects that the Bush administration will support the planned route of the separation fence. In exchange for such support, Israel has promised that no "enclaves" will be created that trap hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, and that the West Bank town of Ariel will not be connected to the main separation fence.

Call me ignorant, but I'm not quite clear on the bit about the town of Ariel. It won't be "connected" to the fence. Which means ... what?

Ultimately, liars, lie to themselves.

Millions of Americans are looking on with a mixture of numbness, shock and revulsion as the US military carries out a bloody campaign to crush the uprising. The atrocities that are being inflicted on the Iraqi population take their place beside those of the Nazis during World War II and those committed by US imperialism against the anti-colonial struggle in Vietnam.

THE PASSOVER STORY The cycle of violence between the Jews and the Egyptians continues with no end in sight in Egypt. After eight previous plagues have destroyed the Egyptian infrastructure and disrupted the lives of ordinary Egyptian citizens, the Jews launched a new offensive this week in the form of the plague of darkness.

Western journalists were particularly enraged by this plague. "It is simply impossible to report when you can't see an inch in front of you," complained a frustrated Andrea Koppel of CNN. "I have heard from my reliable Egyptian contacts that in the midst of the blanket of blackness, the Jews were annihilating thousands of Egyptians. Their word is solid enough evidence for me."

While the Jews contend that the plagues are justified given the harsh slavery imposed upon them by the Egyptians, Pharaoh, the Egyptian leader, rebuts this claim. "If only the plagues would let up, there would be no slavery. We just want to live plague-free. It is the right of every society."

Saeb Erekat, an Egyptian spokesperson, complains that slavery is justifiable given the Jews' superior weaponry supplied to them by the superpower G-d. The Europeans are particularly enraged by the latest Jewish offensive. "The Jewish aggression must cease if there is to be peace in the region. The Jews should go back to slavery for the good of the rest of the world," stated an angry French President Jacques Chirac.

Even several Jews agree. Adam Shapiro, a Jew, has barricaded himself within Pharaoh's chambers to protect Pharaoh from what is feared will be the next plague, the death of the firstborn.

Mr. Shapiro claims that while slavery is not necessarily a good thing, it is the product of the plagues and when the plagues end, so will the slavery. "The Jews have gone too far with plagues such as locusts and epidemic which have virtually destroyed the Egyptian economy," Mr. Shapiro laments. "The Egyptians are really a very nice people and Pharaoh is kind of huggable once you get to know him," gushes Shapiro.

The United States is demanding that Moses and Aaron, the Jewish leaders, continue to negotiate with Pharaoh.

While Moses points out that Pharaoh had made promise after promise to free the Jewish people only to immediately break them and thereafter impose harsher and harsher slavery, Richard Boucher of the State Department assails the latest offensive. "Pharaoh is not in complete control of the taskmasters," Mr. Boucher states. "The Jews must return to the negotiating table and will accomplish nothing through these plagues."

The latest round of violence comes in the face of a bold new Saudi peace overture. "If only the Jews will give up their language, change their names to Egyptian names and cease having male children, the Arab nations would be inclined toward peace with them," Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah declared.

It is hard for me to fathom the amount of mental disintegration that has enveloped these minds. I keep asking, why? Can human brains be so defectively wired to produce such heinous venom? Is there any hope that reason and sanity will again emerge someday?

Iraq insurgents threaten to execute American

By DAVID IVANOVICH
Copyright 2004 Houston Chronicle


WASHINGTON -- Insurgents in Iraq threatened to kill and mutilate a captured Halliburton Co. truck driver Saturday if U.S. forces don't halt their offensive in the violence-torn city of Fallujah.

The insurgents released a video showing Tommy Hamill, a 43-year-old tanker truck driver from Macon, Miss., who is believed to have been abducted during a raid on a fuel convoy Friday.

"If you don't respond within 12 hours he will be treated worse than those who were killed and burned in Fallujah," the captors said on a tape sent to the Arabic news network Al-Jazeera, The Associated Press reported from Baghdad.

Main cover of the Chron has picture of Halliburton driver

I'm saying a prayer now for this man, because I'm certain nothing but an act of G-d will save him.

I took the LGF quiz and got a lowly

I was really surprised at the Iraqi blogger Alaa of "The Messopotamian" being included (#4), but I'll proudly claim him as one of our own. Since English is isn't his native language, that one kind of threw me.

I'm sure his comment is much more colorful in the original Arabic.

A criticism of American tactics

US tactics condemned by British officers

Note this casual smear:

The officer, who agreed to the interview on the condition of anonymity, said that part of the problem was that American troops viewed Iraqis as untermenschen - the Nazi expression for "sub-humans".

Speaking from his base in southern Iraq, the officer said: "My view and the view of the British chain of command is that the Americans' use of violence is not proportionate and is over-responsive to the threat they are facing. They don't see the Iraqi people the way we see them. They view them as untermenschen. They are not concerned about the Iraqi loss of life in the way the British are. Their attitude towards the Iraqis is tragic, it's awful.

"The US troops view things in very simplistic terms. It seems hard for them to reconcile subtleties between who supports what and who doesn't in Iraq. It's easier for their soldiers to group all Iraqis as the bad guys. As far as they are concerned Iraq is bandit country and everybody is out to kill them."

The phrase untermenschen - literally "under-people" - was brought to prominence by Adolf Hitler in his book Mein Kampf, published in 1925. He used the term to describe those he regarded as racially inferior: Jews, Slaves and gipsies.

ergo American's are Nazis.

OT - BBC desperately tries to smear USMC.

When reporting on the Fallujah ceasefire, they said it had been quiet except for a few outbreaks of violence. The one example they gave was that two US Marines were wounded, one in the head, one in the leg, while attacking a suspected sniper.

!!!

Perhaps the Marines fell on bullets left by suspected insurgents?

I heard that story when it broke. The one question I have is: Were the files originals or copies of the original files? Does the government give out originals for FOIA requests?

The one thing that makes this unlike Watergate is that Kerry isn't using presidential authority to impede and investigation. He will have to wait until after he is elected to do that. By then it is pointless, however.

This should be updated to something along the lines:

Media Mind Fuck of War

The writers of those articles may as well be slaughtering the Iraqis themselves.

General Principle: Media distortions about America increases the enemy death toll.

It's amazing when you think about it. The Iraqis are dying because the media is lying to them, the clerics are lying to them, those who claim America can be beaten, or is somehow weaker than the muslims, and they are lying to themselves when they try to take on the marines with an AK47 or an RPG.

Lying can cause death! Amazing.

Regarding the photo of the man in solidarity with the Falluja "insurgents:"

Ignoring the fact that they are fighting against his fellow Americans, interesting how anyone could express SOLIDARITY with persons who mutilate dead bodies, hang them for public display and further humiliation, and then dance and sing in celebration.

And isn't Falluja where several US Marines lost their lives? How must Zuniga feel, seeing his precious active-duty Marines, who WERE there by military orders, disrespected by this man and his cohorts?

While the protesters certainly have the right to express their views, interesting what those views are: not so much "bring home our sons, this was a mistake," as "solidarity with the bloodthirsty mobs who killed those sons, (oh, and then had an orgy of mutilation afterwords with the corpses)."

It's one thing to be anti-war. It's quite another to call for solidarity with the enemy. Which, after all, would only PROLONG the war.

Happy holidays, all.

What I read was a plan to surround Ariel on three sides with a security fence. The fourth side would be open, but there would be some other means of protection -- maybe patrols by soldiers or something like that.

Unless someone else has answered your question, I did see a funny remark the other day on a thread for #17 where someone wasnt really saying anything but claiming the spot for their own.

Perhaps this joke is just being carried on.

At least that is my understanding of it but I too havent been here much lately.

Yes, there is a topological problem.

Since there cannot be connectivity between Jewish and Arab parts on a single plane, I think that one plan could be to have construction of highways, which can be built without staying on one plane.

Or overpasses.

Why should that be such a big deal? Why is thinking being limited to a single plane?

There is the expression: "think out of the box". In this case it should be: think out of the plane, think multiplanar.

OT:

Okay, I'm really worried now.

We're having a 'unilateral suspension of offensive operations' against the enemy in Fallujah.

The FOXNews screen crawl said yesterday (paraphrasing, didn't write it down, darnit):

'Kimmit says we could have taken all of Fallujah if we wanted to'.

Karbala and Najaf are in enemy hands, and we aren't doing anything about it because of the religious pilgrimages going on now.

What. The. F***?

Have we lost our minds? Do we have -any- idea what this looks like, to the psychology of our enemies?

I'll try to translate:

Shia and Sunni forces have fought the most powerful military in the world to a standstill, and forced them into negotiations. They have cowed them into not attacking on religious holidays. They have tricked the most powerful military in the world into letting them fortify and resupply their positions. They have, by forcing negotiations, ensured that Sadr is seen as a power to be reckoned with; his face has increased, immeasurably. The most powerful military in the world has been prevented from even arresting Sadr, let along killing him.

How is this anything but a loss for us?

Am I missing something, or is Kimmit...misguided? What's going on here?

Ever notice that there is a class of "professional" protestors who seem to have all the time in the world to stand around shouting some rhetoric and carrying signs?

My rav made the blatant contrast between our behavior and the chayas of Fallujah, in reference to Passover.

They kill people, mutilate them, and celebrate.
We on the other hand are forbidden from doing so. When the Egyptians were drowned at the sea we were and still are forbidden from celebrating their deaths since they are also G-ds creations

This schmuck stands in solidarity. Wow, with those kind of citizens that city really needs to sink into the ocean.

I saw the vile old fart at the pro-Paleo demo on the Berkeley campus several days ago. He was flaunting a sign equating Israel with Nazi Germany -- the usual lame shtick around here. The guy's just a senile jerk. The Good News was how few demonstrators actually turned out for the Berkeley rally, no more than 120 tops, and they were vigorously countered by by a contingent of Jewish students - perhaps twenty percent of the total crowd. And this was on a campus that for years has been at the epicenter of leftist anti-Israeli and anti-American political activity! Their speech making had a desparate ring to it, and it's apparent their ability to make alliances with other purportedly "oppressed" groups is negligible. I mean, who wants to get in the same political bed with such savage killers? I mention this because last year the deluded ones turned out almost 1200 people for the same ersatz historic event, the Paleo "catastrophe" of 1948. The sense of everyone I spoke with was that our domestic 5th Columnists are becoming increasingly discouraged and depressed as the tide turns. It's vital to remember that the jihadists *are* being defeated physically, despite propaganda to the contrary, and their domestic Islamic "brethren" are feeling increasingly unwelcome and isolated here. This should be duly noted.

STOP THE PRESSES!!!

I just woke up and saw that Charles has made a link about photos from the the SF rally yesterday. I know these look outrageous, but they are nothing compared to the photos and videos I took there yesterday. I was hoping to have them online by last night, but my cruddy Web skills have slowed me down again. They will definitely be up later today. I will post the URL here and notify Charles. I guarantee everyone with half a brain will have an aneurysm looking at my images.

Charles, thanks for telling me the protest was in San Francisco. At first glance I thought it was being held in Riyadh - oops sorry, the women weren't wearing tents and they were allowed outside without a male ralative and there were probaly gays in the mob. My mistake.

When I was a kid, I remember having to read a Poe story, "The Mask of the Red Death." It was about people having a costume ball while disease raged outside. One of the guests shows up disguised as a victim of the disease, the Red Death, and only too late do the partygoes realize that it is not a disguise, and they all got the disease.

Just wondering if something similar would happen if a real Islamic suicide bomber showed up at one of these "peace" rallies.

OT re cease fire comments: The cease fire will allow some noncombatants to be removed from the area. The "negotiations" by the governing council would be a good thing, showing that they are taking on some governmental responsibilities (in my view). The outcome will be the same either way. If the council talks them into all surrendering, fine, we win. If the council fails to talk them into surrendering, fine, we will kill most or all of the rest and we win.

What I do not understand is the Iraqi army unit bugging out. I'm not sure why they were going to be there in the first place. First of all, once an army gets in the habit of running, it is hard to break that habit (did anybody really think they would hold under fire?) Second of all, the last thing I would want at my back is troops of questionable loyalty. I'm not sure if this was more of a training exercise (stand there and look like an army) to gain some confidence, or whether this was a deliberate demonstration that the Iraqi army ain't ready for prime time.

i would like to see this used on this guy and his ilk

Well that is a nifty looking device. But I don't think being an idiot merits using it on the old guy.

I'm in solidarity with anyone who bulldozes the old white-haired bastard off the Bay Bridge. Also with anyone who hangs a jihadi doper-tool from the nearest lamppost. Solidarity with the enemy makes these tools legitimate targets of war.
Hey, free speech, doncha know.

I am really glad I don't live in SF and did not see that rally. Knowing my exposive temper, I know for sure that someone wouldv'e been really hurt.

Well said. Indeed.

May they all burn in hell with thier best friend, bin-laden, God willing.

Just musings on the general state of things. "They are all idiots." I tend to believe this but sometimes I read some thing that tells me someone that doesn't believe as I do is not deranged but sees things differently. I keep reading here and elsewhere to try and connect the dots. I believe we are at war with a religion.

But in the end I don't know how someone sees something different. I have discussed some of these issues with americans of arabic descent, and I can't really see their point. One pointed out that Sharon is an indicted war criminal. After a moments reflection I asked if that were in a Belgian court allowing indictment of many world leaders without any standing. He admitted as much but said there was proof that he would provide me. He never did, I went to look at the investigation that led to his charge.

I didn't read all the way through. After about a hundred pages I understood the charge. He allowed Christian Arabs to murder Muslim Arabs. He allowed them by not stopping them. He should have known and stopped them. So he is indicted for not stopping people from killing, and the killers are indicted where? I guess they are not indictable (sp?) because no one stopped them.

Is that a crime? I have struggled with that crime for a long time. A long time ago I read about a man arrested for child endangerment. He was hiding behind children when his wife tried to kill him. I thought he was despicable, but I thought he was trying for self preservation and the woman shooting the gun was responsible. My fellow workers said I was wrong. I asked if my wife walked in and started shooting, and I got behind them, and she shot them, was I a murderer? But that was "different".

But I cannot say I support him so it is not a this is the good guy and that is the bad guy.

In the end, I say the rest is periphial (sp?), the one shooting is wrong.

I guess I don't know if either victims were protecting them selves legally. I do know the criminals are the ones shooting guns or blowing up buildings. It is disingeneous to suggest they are forced into this position. The man making a bad decision to try and protect his life is forced into a bad decision, the others are trying to kill.
