"Quagmire", and other lies

Do you know?

I didn't know!

How could we?

Did you know that 47 countries' have reestablished their embassies in Iraq?

Did you know that the Iraqi government currently employs 1.2 million Iraqi people?

Did you know that 3100 schools have been renovated,

364 schools are under rehabilitation,

263 new schools are now under construction

and 38 new schools have been completed in Iraq?

Did you know that Iraq's higher educational structure consists of 20 Universities,

46 Institutes or colleges and 4 research centers,

all currently operating?

Did you know that 25 Iraq students departed for the United States in January 2005 for the re-established Fulbright program?

Did you know that the Iraqi Navy is operational?

They have 5 - 100-foot patrol craft, 34 smaller vessels and a naval infantry regiment.

Did you know that Iraq's Air Force consists of three operational squadrons,

which includes 9 reconnaissance and 3 US C-130 transport aircraft
(under Iraqi operational control) which operate day and night, and will soon add 16 UH-1 helicopters and 4 Bell Jet Rangers?

Did you know that Iraq has a counter-terrorist unit and a Commando Battalion?

Did you know that the Iraqi Police Service has over 55,000
fully trained and equipped police officers?

Did you know that there are 5 Police Academies in Iraq
that produce over 3500 new officers each 8 weeks?

Did you know there are more than 1100 building projects going on in Iraq?

They include 364 schools, 67 public clinics, 15 hospitals, 83 railroad stations,
22 oil facilities, 93 water facilities and 69 electrical facilities.

Did you know that 96% of Iraqi children under the age of 5
have received the first 2 series of polio vaccinations?

Did you know that 4.3 million Iraqi children were enrolled in primary school by mid October?

Did you know that there are 1,192,000 cell phone subscribers in Iraq
and phone use has gone up 158%?

Did you know that Iraq has an independent media that consists of 75 radio stations, 180 newspapers and 10 television stations?

Did you know that the Baghdad Stock Exchange opened in June of 2004?

Did you know that 2 candidates in the Iraqi presidential election had a televised debate recently?

OF COURSE WE DIDN'T KNOW!


WHY DIDN'T WE KNOW?

OUR MEDIA WOULDN'T TELL US!

Instead of reflecting our love for our country,

we get photos of flag burning incidents at Abu Ghraib

and people throwing snowballs at the presidential motorcades.

Tragically, the lack of accentuating the positive in Iraq serves two purposes:

It is intended to undermine the world's perception of the United States

thus minimizing consequent support,

and it is intended to discourage American citizens.

Asses & Assholes

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

An old man, a boy & a donkey were going to town. The boy rode on the donkey & the old man walked. As they went along they passed some people who remarked it was a shame the old man was walking and the boy was riding.

The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions.

Then, later, they passed some people who remarked, "What a shame, he makes that little boy walk."

So they then decided they'd both walk! Soon they passed some more people who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride. So, they both rode the donkey.

Now they passed some people who shamed them by saying how awful to put such a load on a poor donkey.

The boy and man figured they were probably right, so they decide to carry the donkey. As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal & he fell into the river and drowned.

The moral of the story?

If you try to please everyone, you might as well...
Kiss your ass goodbye!

Saddam, Death, and those that just don't "get it"

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Ding Dong, the wicked witch asshole is dead.

Saddam Hussein attained room temperature at 0600 local Iraqi time by having his neck stretched by a short rope and a long drop...far too easy an end for such a brutal man, but at least a definative end.

I, for one, celebrate the removal of a piece of pond scum that masqueraded as a man, but the apologists and moral equivilests are already hard at work trying to turn it around to make it seem as if those of us that opposed the Islamofacist trash that was Saddam Hussein are the perpetrators of evil.

Mr. Hanania, I find that in some ways you are even MORE reprehensible than Saddam. At least HE was an honestly evil man, but YOU are much more insidious, and in that respect, even more dangerous.

Rope, Tree, Islamofacist Facilitator....some assembly required.

F.E.T.E.

T housands of years ago,
R evealed by prophets of the past,
U nder the dark and starry night,
E mmanuel was born at last.

R epresenting peace and goodwill to all men,
I ts because of Him that the angels did sing.
S ent by King Herod to find Him,
T hree wise men were led by a star,
M yrrh, gold and frankincense were given,
A s gifts from the men from afar.
S tanding in awe at the manger,

M agi worshipped and gave praise joyfully,
E ventually this child would grow older,
A nd give His life for you and for me.
N ow as we set apart a special day of the year,
I n remembrance for all who believe,
N ever forget why our Father did send Him,
G ods gift is the greatest well ever receive.

Nip & Tuck

After her sixth child, Jane decided that she should have some Cosmetic
surgery "down below" to restore herself to her former youthful glory,
because her bomb doors were dangling a bit too low and looked like a ripped
out fireplace.

Time and childbirth had taken its toll and she reckoned that, with six
children now being the limit, she'd tidy things with a nip here and a tuck
there so it looked more like a piggy bank slot rather than a badly packed
kebab.

Following the operation she awoke from her anaesthetic to find three roses
at the end of the bed.

"Who are these from?" she asked the nurse, "They're very nice but I'm a bit
confused as to why I've received them."

"Well" said the nurse; "The first is from the surgeon - the operation went
so well and you were such a model patient that he wanted to say thanks".

"The second is from your husband - he's delighted the operation was such a
success that he can't wait to get you home. Apparently it'll be the
first time he's touched the sides for years and he's very excited!"

"Brilliant!" said Jane. "And the third?"

"That's from Eric, a patient in the burns unit," said the nurse. "He just
wanted to say thanks for his new ears."

Doctor: I have some bad news and some very bad news.

Patient: Well, you might as well give me the bad news first.

Doctor: The lab called with your test results. They said you have 24 hours
to live.

Patient: 24 hours! That's terrible! What could be worse? What's the very
bad news?

Doctor: I've been trying to reach you since yesterday.

Military History:

Why English Officers Wore Red Coats

A long time ago, Britain and France were at war.

During one battle, the French captured an English
colonel. They took him to their headquarters,
and the French general began to question him.

Finally, as an afterthought, the French general
asked,
"Why do you English officers all wear red coats?

Don't you know the red material makes you easier
targets for us to shoot at?"

In his bland English way, the officer informed the
general that the reason English officers wear red
coats is so that if they are shot, the blood won't
show, and the men they are leading won't panic.

And that is why, from that day to this, all French
Army officers wear brown pants.

An Irish Outlook

An Irishman named O'Malley went to his doctor after a long illness. The doctor sighed and looked O'Malley in the eye and said, "I've some bad news for you. You have cancer, and it can't be cured. You'd best put your affairs in order."

O'Malley was shocked but being a solid character, he managed to compose himself and walk from the doctor's office into the waiting room, where his son was waiting.

"Well son, we Irish celebrate when things are good, and we celebrate when things don't go well. In this case, things aren't so well. I have cancer. Let's head to the pub and have a few pints."

After 3 or 4 pints the two were feeling a little less somber..
There were some laughs and some more beers. They were eventually
approached by some of O'Malley's friends, who were curious as to
what the two were celebrating.

O'Malley told them they were drinking to his impending end. He
told his friends, "I have been diagnosed with AIDS."

The friends gave O'Malley their condolences, and they had a
couple more beers. After the friends left, O'Malley's son leaned
over and whispered his confusion.

"Dad, I thought you told me that you were dying of cancer, and
you just told your friends that you were dying of AIDS!"
O'Malley said, "I don't want any of them sleeping with your
Mother after I am gone."


YOU GOTTA LOVE THE IRISH!!

Classic Humor

I've always thought Foster Brooks was a really funny comic. I just HAD to repost this link I found at GuyK's site. As one of Guy's commenters noted; Mr. Brooks was fortunate to have worked in a period where the ACLU and P.C. groups such as M.A.D.D. weren't so prevalent and eager to sue anyone that found humor in their pet peeve of an issue.


And here's another example:

R.I.P. U.S.A.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

It's the final beginning of the end; John Bolton has tendered his resignation as the U.S. Ambassador to the U(seless) N(ations).

If we had had any chance to stop the headlong rush to internationalization; it's lost now. John Bolton was the type of man that always looked out for our national interest despite the pressures to "go along to get along". This is just the first consequence of electing a majority of far Leftists into the majority of both houses, and it won't be the last. I do fear however, that it may be one of the most consequential in regards to our national well being.

The U.N. is an organization that has proved time and again to be inimical to the interests of most of the civilized Nations of the world in general, and against the U.S.A. in particular. It has become the covert hammer used by tyrants and thugs to intimidate the Nations of the world into becoming their willing victims, lest they be visited with overt violence. We need men and women not afraid to stand up against this type of bullying, and John Bolton was just such a man.

Appeasement has never worked and WILL never work. We are in 1938 all over again, and now, just as then, all too few see the writing written large on the wall; they choose to ignore the clear warnings that the enemies of civilization are sounding in a claxon call of Jihadism and bloodshed throughout the world.

If we allow the leftist contingent to dictate the type of Ambassador we replace John Bolton with, we may just as well climb into the box and shut the lid on the greatest Republic the world has ever seen.

Islam - "R o P"

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Ah, yes, Islam is such a PEACEFUL religion, after all, its adherants have something like THIS occur in their midst and not ONE of them will protest it happening, after all, that would be violent, wouldn't it?

Such evil crimes as teaching female children to read and write SHOULD be punished in as horrible a way as possible, otherwise, they just might get the idea that they are the equal of men, after all.

The only way I can respond to our own Islamic apologists is: Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting it's as adult as their idiocies deserve.

Just For Grins

It's hard to find jokes without foul words in them these days, but Catfish sent me this one:

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods. A small tree
begins to grow between them, and the beech says to the birch, "Is that a son
of a beech or a son of a birch?"

The birch says he cannot tell.

Just then a woodpecker, lands on the sapling.

The birch says, "woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can you tell

if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"

The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree. He replies, "It is

neither son of a beech nor son of a birch. "It is however, the best

piece of ash I have ever put my pecker in"

"We want Nuclear Electricity"

So say the Mullahs of Iran. Yeah....RIIIIIIIIIIIGHT....

Then tell me why traces of super-enriched Uranium, and even worse, Plutonium, have been found in the waste tailings that the IAEA have inspected in Teheran? Mind you, the ONLY practical use for Plutonium is in Atomic warheads; it's just too dangerous for use in civilian power generating plants.....
But of course, the international community just turns a blind eye; saying that the amounts are too small to be of concern at present, indeed, some of the facilities for enrichment being constructed are being done so with UN funding aid.

I don't know about you, but the thought of a regime that has publicly stated that "soon the evil of the Zionist State will be totally eradicated" having access to nuclear materials of any sort is frightening, to say the least. To discover that they are processing nuclear materiel to the point of producing plutonium is totally unacceptable.

I had a discussion several weeks ago where my Ex-wife (Moonbattus Extremous) stated; "I don't know how you can continue to function normally, when you are operating in such a state of unreasonable fear" in regard to world affairs in the area of the Middle East. I responded that it WASN'T fear, but a state of heightened vigilence and awareness.

Tell me, is it unreasonable to be wary of a group that has continually and LOUDLY stated that their ultimate goal is the eradication of the United States; and in numerous incidents over the last 20 years has continually PHYSICALLY demonstrated not only that they are serious in accomplishing that goal, but has the physical will, technology, and expertise to do so?
And now allies of that group are becoming at least close to being able to provide nuclear weapons to the cause? Isn't the sane reaction to such an imminent threat at least a MODICUM of extra vigilence/preparedness?

My Ex, and by their recent post-election statements, apparently the majority of the Democratic Party, would say it was unreasonable....at least up to the moment that some sort of horrific attack did occur, and even then, would focus their efforts on trying to find whom to blame rather than respond in kind to the perpetrators of the action.

America, I cry for thee...we have become too comfortable in our own sense of invunerablity, even though that invunerablity has been shown to be a lie.
We have become too complacent and too out of touch with the grim reality that, "Yes Virginia, there ARE people out there that truly wish nothing more than an opportunity to slaughter us wholesale". We are unwilling to tear ourselves away from "Star Search" long enough to look around and really see what is happening around us. And those of us that ARE trying to sound the alarm are regarded as, at best, paranoid, and at worst, "War-Mongering Right Wing Idiologues"/Republicans/Religious Zealots...much as Churchhill was regarded when Neville Chamberlain stepped off the plane holding up a treaty with Chancellor Hitler and declaring "peace in our time"....what a difference six months made then; may it not be so this time as well.
The stakes are even higher this time around,and the outcome even more uncertain.

A Nightmare

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Read THIS...NOW.

I fear that the scenario postulated in this article is all too possible. And we only have ourselves to blame if it DOES occur. Our enemies have repeatedly warned us of their intentions, and have demonstrated their ability and resolve to carry out those intentions, but all we have demonstrated is the lack of resolve that only the fat and lazy can truly rise to, coupled with a lack of logical, real world common sense, on the part of a large section of the Democratic party and it's sycophants.

May G-d have mercy on us, as our enemies surely won't.
