Just Do It!

From Russia: Attackers wearing suicide-bomb belts seized a Russian school in a region bordering Chechnya on Wednesday, taking hostage about 400 people — half of them children — and threatening to blow up the building. Anywhere between 3 and 8 people were killed, one of them a parent who resisted an attacker.

Some children were able to escape. Here's one:



Suicide-bomb belts? Guns? Children held hostage? Who do these fucktards think they are? No one has the right to do this to children! NO ONE! I repeat .... NO ONE, DAMMIT!

Sooner or later the Russkis are going to get fed up with this shit and Chechnya will be wiped clean, devoid of all life and maybe even glowing in the dark. You have to know "Pooty-Poot", as "W" calls him, is fast reaching the end of his rope with these Muslim gangsters in Chechnya. The other shoe is probably not far from falling on the Chechen's heads. Never forget that Putin was head of KGB at one time in his life. That guy probably still has a lot of very nasty friends out there who are fully capable of a little "wet work" (nudge, nudge, wink, wink).

And you know what ......?

I wouldn't blame the Russkis and Putin one damned bit. In fact I wish they would go ahead and get it over with. Sure, the bleeding-heart Liberals here in the US will bitch and moan and Jesse Jackson will denounce the action as racist. Of course, Jimmy Carter will scream from the rooftops about "human rights abuses". But .... who gives a shit what they think anyway?

So my advice to President Putin is .... JUST DO IT!

UPDATE: The numbers of children and others held hostage is now down to between 120-150. Still too many. Now the terrorist assholes are saying they'll kill 50 kids for every one of theirs killed.

You know, if they so much as harm a hair on any child's head Putin should declare open season on all these bastards even going so far as to furnish rifles and ammo to the citizenry.

Update From Allan: Sorry to disappoint you all but I went to work today anyway (bill collectors never sleep). I've been following this story with occasional peeks at the internet from the office. I want to thank Vilmar for updating this story as it progresses. I'm home at lunch now and following details. As you may have figured out by now, there is one thing that absolutely infuriates me no end. I'm talking rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth ANGRY! That is when anyone harms a child. I will not stand for it under any circumstances. Period. With that said, I think I need to propose to you a solution to all this. There is no incentive for these madmen to stop what they are doing. The bleeding heart Liberals around the world have removed any form of penalty that would discourage them. Until we (the entire world community) stands up and declares that ANY TERRORIST ACT WILL BE PUNISHED WITH HORRID, MEDIEVAL PENALTIES they will continue their atrocities. We need a uniform declaration that the terrorists (and their immediate families) will be drawn and quartered, after agonizing punishment and their dismembered bodies buried in pig shit. Fight fire with fire is my motto. We can go back to being civilized after this has passed. Sometimes you just gotta be a hardass. So let it be written, so let it be done - by order of the BMEWS Secretary Of War.

For the record, every time I look at the picture of that little girl running with that soldier, my teeth start grinding, my jaw starts clinching and my fists start pounding on the desk. There is no lower life-form than a person who will harm a child. Gotta run back to work now. And try and stay calm ..........

Careful what you ask for

Two of the best bosses I ever had in the Air Force were Colonels of Puerto Rican descent while I worked at the American Embassy in Lisbon, Portugal. They taught me a lot and I am indebted to them. Why do I bring this up? Because it helps set the stage for the following story I got from one of them.



One of the many headaches that the U. S. had was the Puerto Rican Island of Vieques. In the waning years of the Clinton Administration, protesters demanded that the US Navy abandon bombing and naval gun fire exercises that had taken place on the largely uninhabited island for nearly seventy years. Liberal icons bumped into one another to fly to Puerto Rico, boat over to the island, trespass (but never on a day that there was an exercise scheduled) and get arrested for the benefit of the New York Times or Newsweek. They included : Al Sharpton, Mrs. Jesse Jackson, Joan Baez, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Edward Olmos, Michael Moore and Ramsey Clark, just to name a few. These in addition of the local politicos and strap hangers.

In 2002, the bombing exercises were transferred to an Air Force bombing range in central Florida, not far from the Jacksonville and Pensacola Naval Air Stations. In January, many of the protesters were back in Puerto Rico, celebrating the final bombing exercise on Vieques and waved Puerto Rican flags and placards that read:
"U.S. Navy, get out of Puerto Rico."


The following Feb, Rumsfeld announced that the U.S. Navy will close the Roosevelt Roads Naval Air Station in Puerto Rico in 2004, eliminating 1200 civilian jobs as well as 700 military positions. This naval facility is estimated to have put nearly $300 million annually into the local economy. The next day a stunned governor Sila Calderon, held a news conference in San Juan, protesting the base closure as a serious blow to the Commonwealth's fragile economy. The governor stated that "The people of Puerto Rico don't now or never did have an interest in closing the Vieques bombing range or the Roosevelt Roads naval base. We are interested in both staying in Puerto Rico."

When asked, the Commander-in Chief, Western Atlantic Command, said, "Without Vieques, I see no further need for the facility at Roosevelt Roads. None."

So, Yanqui go home? Fine. But we'll take our dollars with us. Hasta la vista, baby!

On February 21, the Secretary of Defense also announced that starting this year, the U.S. European Command would begin moving most if not all of its active combat and support units from bases in Germany to others being established in Poland, The Czech Republic, Hungary and Turkey to "better position them for rapid deployment to likely hot spots in those parts of the world".

Immediately the business and government leaders in the German states of Hesse, Rhineland and Wurttemburg, protested the loss of nearly $6 billion in revenue each year from the bases and manpower to be displaced. A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry speculated that the move may be "what the Americans call 'payback' for the actions of this government in opposing Military action in Iraq.

" Does anyone know the German translation for "Hasta la vista, baby?"

Oh, ain't it nice to see a government with guts and a good memory.


Note from Vilmar: Did you know the United Sates taxpayer funds Puerto Rico to the tune of $22 billion per YEAR!?!?!

I’m Calling In Sick Today

I woke up, posted your "Daily Dose", settled in with a pot of coffee to surf the web before heading off to work and then it happened ....

I ran across this story and decided the world has gone completely unhinged. I am now going back to bed, pull the covers over my head and pray it all goes away by tomorrow.

The Whining of The Poodle’s Puppies

When I first saw this I laughed my ass off and posted about it.

Then I saw an article this morning that caused me to laugh even more. But just before I was going to post it my computer started making unjoyful noises so I had to re-boot it. Logging back on I did some browsing first prior to posting and came across Mr. Minority's post referencing The Poodle's puppies. He had a different take on it.

So to set the stage, read this article first that made me laugh and then go pay Mr. Minority a visit.

Kerry and Deferments

So....did Fuckface REALLY want to serve in Vietnam? Or is it true he asked for a deferment---and denied it, enlisted in the INACTIVE reserve? Why won't the Kerry website say that? Hmmmmmm?!?!?!

Reading this article makes you wonder: "if getting a deferment makes you a draft dodger, does applying for a deferment make you a draft dodger wannabe?"

YIKES!

Final Score ....

Cleveland - 22
New York - 0

No, that's not three touchdowns and a 2-point conversion. That's nine of the worst innings in the New York Yankees 101-year history. The Cleveland "Native Americans" spanked the New York Yanquis and sent them home to momma yesterday.

The Cubs and Red Sox still have a grip on the NL and AL wild card slot. We're coming into the home stretch, gang. Stay tuned.

Hump Day News

Looks like HUMP DAYS will no longer be a part of this guy's future!



I really do not like small dogs so I let loose a small smirk when I read this. How appropriate the air breathing pooch got done in by his gilled nemesis.



Trivia for You

It seems we can't go a day without hearing or reading about the enviro-moonbats complaining about how man is ruining the planet and urban sprawl, and wiping out dozens of species per month, etc.

Well, I have a solution. (the logistics of making this work is iffy but work with me on this, OK?)

Ap Lei Chau, an island off Hong Kong, has 80,000 people living in an area of 1/2 square mile. There are 6,500,000,000 people on this planet.

Texas has an area of about 267,000 square miles. If we could move all the people of the earth to Texas at that same density, they would occupy only 40,625 square miles (or 1/6th of the state.)

The rest of the world could become a preserve.

Of course, we'd have to deal with that little detail of all those pissed off Texans!

Quote Of The Day

"Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much. "
-- Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)


On This Day In History

September 1, 1939 - Germany Invades Poland
At 4:45 a.m., some 1.5 million German troops invade Poland all along its 1,750-mile border with German-controlled territory. Simultaneously, the German Luftwaffe bombed Polish airfields, and German warships and U-boats attacked Polish naval forces in the Baltic Sea. Nazi leader Adolf Hitler claimed the massive invasion was a defensive action, but Britain and France were not convinced. On September 3, they declared war on Germany, initiating World War II.

September 1, 1969 - Qaddafi Leads Coup In Libya
Muammar al-Qaddafi, a 27-year-old Libyan army captain, leads a successful military coup against King Idris I of Libya. Idris was deposed and Qaddafi was named chairman of Libya's new governing body, the Revolutionary Command Council. An ardent Arab nationalist, he plotted with a group of fellow officers to overthrow King Idris, who was viewed as overly conservative and indifferent to the movement for greater political unity among Arab countries. By the time Qaddafi attained the rank of captain, in 1969, the revolutionaries were ready to strike. They waited until King Idris was out of the country, being treated for a leg ailment at a Turkish spa, and then toppled his government in a bloodless coup. The monarchy was abolished, and Idris traveled from Turkey to Greece before finding asylum in Egypt. He died there in Cairo in 1983.

September 1, 1983 - Korean Airlines Flight 007 Shot Down By Soviet Union
Soviet jet fighters intercept a Korean Airlines passenger flight in Russian airspace and shoot the plane down, killing 269 passengers and crewmembers. The incident dramatically increased tensions between the Soviet Union and the United States. On September 1, 1983, Korean Airlines (KAL) flight 007 was on the last leg of a flight from New York City to Seoul, with a stopover in Anchorage, Alaska. As it approached its final destination, the plane began to veer far off its normal course. In just a short time, the plane flew into Russian airspace and crossed over the Kamchatka Peninsula, where some top-secret Soviet military installations were known to be located. The Soviets sent two fighters to intercept the plane. According to tapes of the conversations between the fighter pilots and Soviet ground control, the fighters quickly located the KAL flight and tried to make contact with the passenger jet. Failing to receive a response, one of the fighters fired a heat-seeking missile. KAL 007 was hit and plummeted into the Sea of Japan. All 269 people on board were killed.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
