Kerry leaves no doubt

The alleged war hero who slandered three generations of American troops, finally drops any pretense and leaves no doubt where he stands.

"It’s all been for this moment…Winning means forcing an end to the disastrous war in Iraq, and getting our heroes home."

Even if they are volunteering to go back again and again because they want to finish it, eh?

Vote

I’m voting for the war, i.e. straight Republican, despite many differences with them. I don’t trust the Democrats to prosecute the war, and if it isn’t prosecuted, it seems to me, all other issues will be moot.

I am an American, too

Two months old but still revealing, and too seldom seen, this column in the Las Vegas Review Journal’s online edition by Aslam Abdullah, the director of the Islamic Society of Nevada, addressed to al Q’s new boss in Iraq.

"Don’t think that just because we share the same religion, we would show some sympathy to you. You are not of us. You don’t belong to the religion whose followers are trying to live a peaceful life for themselves and others serving the divine according to their understanding."

Thunderbirds pilot

I grew up in the Air Force and I can safely say that Nicole Malachowski–the woman under the The Troops headline on the top right side of the page this week, and here in the future–is easily the best-looking major I ever saw in Air Force blue. She flies an F-16 with the precision flying team, the only woman on any such team in the armed forces, according to this Air Force Times article.

Watch the Texas border

If you have IE as a browser, are willing to download and run some software, and register for free, you can join the Texas Virtual Neighborhood Border Watch and report suspicious activity to the state. Woo hoo!

Tour of Iraq

Kurt Wheeler, history teacher from New York and Marine Corps reserve lieutenant colonel, looks like a good one to follow from his blog posts for the next year.

"ON THE WAY… After nearly four weeks of preparations, I am finally on my way to Iraq. I am writing this entry from a wifi spot in the Chicago airport en route to California."

Honor

Austin Bay puts Kerry into perspective.

"Kerry’s ‘stuck in Iraq’ insult is uniquely trans-generational.  It immediately connects with his 1971 ‘Winter Soldier’ slanders where he asserted American troops were committing war crimes through out Vietnam, crimes on par with those of ‘Jing-gis Khan.’ The anti-Vietnam War movement shaped Kerry politically and that decayed fossil still propels him– an ancient addiction he and his cohorts can’t shake. Simultaneously stuck in the past and stuck on stupid, the Junior Senator from Massachusetts has now insulted three generations of American troops."

Then Bay, who lives in Austin, shows why today’s troops aren’t going to take it quietly–and why they shouldn’t.

"In the 1970s they didn’t have the Internet or talk radio to counter-attack the boys and girls in New Mobe and network producers addicted to images of panha(n)dling, socio-pathic Vietnam vets. The troops now have the technology."

So a bunch of Nat’l Guard troops from Minnesota put together a photo and… Good stuff worth a read.
