Quote Of The Day

“Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers.”
-- Karl Rove at a fund-raiser in Midtown for the Conservative Party of New York State.

Not satisfied with having taken a light saber to the Leftists’ black, evil hearts, Darth Rove continued ....

“Let me just put this in fairly simple terms: Al Jazeera now broadcasts the words of Senator Durbin to the Mideast, certainly putting our troops in greater danger. No more needs to be said about the motives of liberals.”

Note I: While we’re in Star Wars mode today, is it just me or does anyone else see the resemblence between John Kerry and Jar-Jar-Binks?

Note II: General Grievous (played by Chuck Schumer [D-NY]) is now demanding an apology from Darth Rove.

If Gitmo Is A Gulag, What Is This?

Just a reminder .... here is how prisoners (captured enemy combatants) are treated at Gitmo ....

.... the food served to the terrorist detainees and terrorist suspects held at GITMO is better in many cases than the food being served to our troops in the Armed Services.  Congressional decree prevents the military from serving MRE’s (Meals Ready to Eat – vacuum packed sealed food bags served to U.S. troops) to detainees because it would be considered “abuse.”

Instead, in the past week the anti-American terrorists and terrorist suspects held at GITMO have been served:

*Orange Glazed Chicken
*Rice Pilaf
*Steamed Peas & Mushrooms
*Fruit Roupee

In addition, on Ramadan the terrorists held at GITMO are served lamb, dates and honey as part of their religious observance.

GITMO detainees also are provided prayer mats and prayer oils and are allowed to pray five times per day – something that even U.S. schoolchildren are forbidden from doing.

Now, let’s take a look at what our troops are finding in Iraq, according to the New York Times ....

KARABILA, Iraq, Sunday, June 19 - Marines on an operation to eliminate insurgents that began Friday broke through the outside wall of a building in this small rural village to find a torture center equipped with electric wires, a noose, handcuffs, a 574-page jihad manual - and four beaten and shackled Iraqis.

The American military has found torture houses after invading towns heavily populated by insurgents - like Falluja, where the anti-insurgent assault last fall uncovered almost 20 such sites. But rarely have they come across victims who have lived to tell the tale.

The men said they told the marines, from Company K, Third Marines, Second Division, that they had been tortured with shocks and flogged with a strip of rubber for more than two weeks, unseen behind the windows of black glass. One of them, Ahmed Isa Fathil, 19, a former member of the new Iraqi Army, said he had been held and tortured there for 22 days. All the while, he said, his face was almost entirely taped over and his hands were cuffed.

In an interview with an embedded reporter just hours after he was freed, he said he had never seen the faces of his captors, who occasionally whispered at him, “We will kill you.” He said they did not question him, and he did not know what they wanted. Nor did he ever expect to be released.

“They kill somebody every day,” said Mr. Fathil, whose hands were so swollen he could not open a can of Coke offered to him by a marine. “They’ve killed a lot of people.”

From the house on Saturday, there could be heard sounds of fighting from the large-scale offensive to eliminate strongholds of insurgents, many of whom stream across Iraq’s porous border with Syria. [Page 10.]

As the marines walked through the house - a squat one-story building of sand-colored brick - the broken black window glass crunched under their boots. Light poured in, revealing walls and ceiling shredded by shrapnel from the blast they had set off to break in through a wall. Latex gloves were strewn on the floor. A kerosene lantern lay on its side, shattered.

The manual recovered - a fat, well-thumbed Arabic paperback - listed itself as the 2005 First Edition of “The Principles of Jihadist Philosophy,” by Abdel Rahman al-Ali. Its chapters included “How to Select the Best Hostage,” and “The Legitimacy of Cutting the Infidels’ Heads.”

Also recovered were several fake passports, a black hood, the painkiller Percoset, handcuffs and an explosives how-to-guide. Three cars loaded with explosives were parked in a garage outside the house. The marines blew them up.

This is Mr. Fathil’s account of his ordeal.

He was having a lunch of lettuce and cucumbers in the kitchen of his home in the small desert village of Rabot with his mother and brother. An Opel sedan pulled up. Two men in masks carrying machine guns got out, seized him, and, leaving his mother sobbing, put him in the trunk of their car.

The drove to the house here. They taped his face, put cotton in his ears, and began to beat him.

The only possible explanation for the seizure he could think of was his time in the new Iraqi Army. Unemployed and illiterate, Mr. Fathil signed up after the American occupation began.

But nine months ago, when continuing working meant risking the wrath of the Jihadists, he quit. In all, 10 friends from his unit have been killed, he said. So have his uncle and his uncle’s son, though neither ever worked as soldiers.

The men tended to talk in whispers, he said, telling him five times a day, in low voices in his ear, to pray, and offering him sand, instead of water, to wash himself. Just once, he asked if he could see his mother, and one of them said to him, “You won’t leave until you are dead.”

Mr. Fathil did not know there were other hostages. He found out only after the captors left and he was able to remove the tape from his eyes.

The routine in the house was regular. Because of the windows, it was always dark inside. Mr. Fathil said he was fed once a day, and allowed to use a bathroom as necessary in the back of the house.

When marines burst in, one of the captives was lying under a stairwell, badly beaten. At first, they thought he was dead.

The others were emaciated and battered. Mr. Fathil had fared the best. The other three were taken by medical helicopter to Balad, a base near Baghdad with a hospital.

But he still had been hurt badly. Marks from beatings criss-crossed his back, and deep pocks, apparently from electric shock burns, were gouged in his skin.

The shocks, he said, felt “like my soul is being ripped out of my body.” But when he would start to scream, and his body would pull up from the shock, they would begin to beat him, he said.

Mr. Fathil has been at the Marine base south of Qaim since his release, on Saturday around noon. His mother still does not know he is alive.

When she was mentioned, he bowed and lowered his head, and began to cry softly, wiping his face with the jumpsuit given him by the marines.

He asked a reporter for help to move to another town, because it was too dangerous for his family to remain in their house. He begged not to have a photograph taken, even of the scars on his back. The captors took pictures of that, he said.

His town has always been a good place, he said, but the militants have made it hell.

“These few are destroying it,” he said, his face streaked with tears. “Everybody they take, they kill. It’s on a daily basis pretty much.”

Uncle Bin Laden Wants YOU!

It seems the US Army is not the only outfit in Iraq that can’t meet its recruiting targets ....

Insurgents trawl Europe for recruits

Islamic militant networks are on a recruiting drive across Europe for potential suicide bombers in Iraq, according to US and European police and security sources.

The claim comes amid evidence that the high number of recent attacks is forcing terrorist leaders into a drive for new volunteers.

Analysis of recent patterns of activity, based on tracing the identities of suicide bombers killed in Iraq, indicates that Europe is experiencing the sharpest growth in the recruitment of suicide bombers in comparison with North Africa, the Middle East and Asia, although those areas still supply the largest numbers of jihadis.

Evidence of the rise in recruitment in Europe has emerged as concern grows that sympathy for the conflict is spreading to mainstream Islamic communities that have thus far rejected violence. There are fears of an ‘Afghanistan effect’ in a new generation of young men, inspiring them to fight the Americans in Iraq in the same way that a previous generation flocked to fight the Russians.

In the past six months, old and dormant networks - including some that had been concerned with violence in north Africa, others with the war against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, and others in criminality - have been reactivated across Europe.

Some intelligence sources believe that there are now up to 21 networks active in Europe, some of them linked to more than 60 groups in the Mahgreb area of north Africa, involved in training and recruitment of volunteers, many for suicide bombing missions in Iraq.

I Love Gitmo

(SACRAMENTO) – The non-profit group that supports our troops and the war against terrorism, Move America Forward (website: http://www.MoveAmericaForward.org), has launched a campaign to rally public support for the Detention Center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The “I LOVE GITMO” campaign will take to the airwaves in the form of paid commercials urging Americans to support the men and women operating the terrorist detention facility at Guantanamo Bay.

The commercials will target those individuals who have put forth false charges about the operations at the facility so that their constituents can know about their “Blame America First” antics.  One example is Illinois Senator, Dick Durbin who said GITMO and those running it had created an environment akin to the “Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime—Pol Pot or others.”

“GITMO is a key arsenal in the fight against terrorism, and Americans must stand behind the heroic men and women of the Armed Forces who serve proudly there,” said Howard Kaloogian, Co-Chair of Move America Forward.

The campaign to support GITMO was launched on Thursday with the release of the “I LOVE GITMO” bumper sticker.  Thousands of these bumper stickers have been sold in the first 24 hours they were available online at http://www.MoveAmericaForward.org.

“These terrorists detained are not common criminals; they are enemy combatants in our war against terrorism.  They are not entitled to all of the rights that someone arrested in this country gets.  Just like we held German and Japanese prisoners of war during World War II, we have to confine enemy combatants so they stop killing Americans serving their country in Iraq and Afghanistan,” Kaloogian added.

On the website Move America Forward notes that the food served to the terrorist detainees and terrorist suspects held at GITMO is better in many cases than the food being served to our troops in the Armed Services.  Congressional decree prevents the military from serving MRE’s (Meals Ready to Eat – vacuum packed sealed food bags served to U.S. troops) to detainees because it would be considered “abuse.”

Instead, in the past week the anti-American terrorists and terrorist suspects held at GITMO have been served:

*Orange Glazed Chicken
*Rice Pilaf
*Steamed Peas & Mushrooms
*Fruit Roupee

In addition, on Ramadan the terrorists held at GITMO are served lamb, dates and honey as part of their religious observance.

GITMO detainees also are provided prayer mats and prayer oils and are allowed to pray five times per day – something that even U.S. schoolchildren are forbidden from doing.

Iraqi Forces Free Aussie Hostage

It looks like the Iraqi police and special forces are finally getting a grip on things. The sooner they get up to speed and in control of their own country, the sooner our troops can come home. I’m all for that ....

An Australian taken hostage in Iraq was today freed by Iraqi forces after six weeks in captivity.

News of 64-year-old Douglas Wood’s release came as a suicide bomber wearing an Iraqi army uniform walked into a mess hall and blew himself up, killing at least 25 Iraqi soldiers and injuring 27.

Mr Wood, an engineer, was abducted by a militant group calling itself the Shura Council of the Mujahideen of Iraq in late April.

The Australian prime minister, John Howard, said Mr Wood was safe after being rescued in Baghdad in a military operation he had been told “was conducted by Iraqi forces in cooperation in a general way with force elements of the United States”.

“I am delighted to inform the house that the Australian hostage in Iraq, Mr Douglas Wood, is safe,” Mr Howard told parliament in Canberra.

He said a military unit had rescued Mr Wood, but the exact details of how the rescue operation had been carried out were not yet known.

“It hasn’t happened very often that somebody has been rescued in this fashion,” Mr Howard said. “Sadly the fate of others has been different and far grimmer, and we are therefore delighted and overjoyed with this as the outcome.”

The Australian government refused to meet the kidnappers’ demands for the country to withdraw its 1,400 troops from Iraq. It sent a team of diplomats, police and military personnel to Baghdad to work for Mr Wood’s release.

Fun Time

OK, gang! Let’s have some fun. Since the retards and morons on the Left and all over Europe think we’re abusing the prisoners at Gitmo and torturing them, let’s come up with some creative ideas to really put some pressure on these asshat terrorists down there. I’ll start it off with some ideas of my own and the rest of you just feel free to pile on in the comments. Ready, set, GO ....

• Have the call to prayer sung out five times daily by .... Roseanne Barr.


• If they won’t talk, strap them in a chair in the audience of the next Jerry Springer Show.


• Tell them they will be moved into a jail cell with Michael Jackson.


• Give them copies of the Koran .... printed in Chinese.


• Broadcast pig squeeling sounds over the camp loudspeakers all night long.


• Feed the bastards MRE’s instead of the gourmet food they are getting now.

C’mon .... help me out here! I’m running out of torture ideas ....

What’s Going On In Lodi?

The FBI’s probe into alleged Al-Qaeda cells in Lodi, CA is ongoing and new informations is turning up daily in the small California town. Home of a large Pakistani population, there are several twists and turns in this story ....

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Federal authorities aren’t saying much about their terrorism investigation in nearby Lodi but are making two things crystal clear: Their work in the farming town has been going on for years - and it’s not over yet.

They denied the implication by some members of Lodi’s large Pakistani community that the probe was triggered by a rift between fundamentalist and mainstream factions.

Each side accused the other of contacting the FBI, which is in charge of the investigation. The dispute has led to a leadership struggle at the Lodi Muslim Mosque and a legal fight with a budding Islamic learning center.

“This specific investigation has been going on for several years,” FBI spokesman John Cauthen said Thursday.

The FBI alleges several people committed to al-Qaida have been operating in and around the tranquil wine-growing region just south of Sacramento.

Investigators say Hamid Hayat, 22, trained with al-Qaida in Pakistan and planned to attack hospitals and supermarkets in the United States. He is scheduled to appear in federal court Friday for a bail hearing.

Umer Hayat, 47, said his son was drawn to jihadist training camps in his early teenage years while attending a madrassah, or religious school, in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, that was operated by Umer Hayat’s father-in-law, according to an FBI affidavit.

Hayat allegedly paid for his son to attend the terrorist camp in 2003 and 2004. The affidavit says it was run by a friend of his father-in-law’s.

The Hayats are charged only with lying to federal investigators.

Two Islamic religious leaders, or imams, and one leader’s son also have been detained on immigration violations. Neither Cauthen nor a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement would reveal specifics of the alleged visa violations.

Help Wanted: Human Shields

oes anyone else besides me remember two years ago, when the US was preparing to invade Iraq to depose mass-murderer Saddam Hussein, there were hundreds of so-called “human shields” who went to Iraq to protect the dictator and his military from the evil US invaders? I’m sure you remember those liberal nut-cases from all over Europe and the US who went to Iraq to place themselves in front of Saddam’s army in the misguided hope of saving Saddam’s regime from the US, don’t you?

Well, where are they today? Probably back at home telling and re-telling how they stood up to the “US Military Industrial Complex” to stop the bullying of that poor fellow who was recently embaressed by having photos of him in his BVD’s splashed all over the news. As you may remember, they all ducked and ran when the Marines rolled into Baghdad and Saddam was left to fend for himself.

The irony here is that Saddam is now safely in prison and the Iraqi people are under seige from outside terrorists from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and Iran. These terrorists are blowing up car bombs and killing or beheading hundreds and thousands of Iraqis.

Where are the human shields? This time it is being left to the Iraqi people who are forming a ring around Baghdad to protect themselves from these murderers, some of whom are former Saddam loyalists .... who were protected by the “human shields” two years ago.

Where are those “human shields” now? The Iraqi people need them. Innocent women and children are being killed every day by these madmen. Will none of these brave “human shields” come to their aid? Or do they just engage in protecting dicators and mass murderers?

If they were brave enough to stand in front of an Israeli bulldozer in Gaza why aren’t they brave enough to stand in front of an Al-Qaeda car bomb in Iraq?
