Overnight Open Thread (8-26-2015)

Quote of the Day I

But the more we learn about the farcical nature of this deal, the more Israel's calculus may tilt in favor of an Israeli attack - if not in 2015 or 2016, then in 2017 when Obama is no longer president. After all, the hell Israel would pay if it attacks Iran must be weighed against the threat of a nuclear Iran. Barak's account, if accurate, adds plausibility to the view that Israel sees the latter as more hellacious.

In a very real sense, then, the key people evaluating Obama's deal aren't U.S. Senators and Representatives, but rather Israeli generals, intelligence chiefs, and ministers. They are the ones who, effectively, can nullify the deal.

It seems to be that with every revelation of a major Obama/IAEA concession to the mullahs, the prospect that Israel will exercise its veto increases.

-- Paul Mirengoff

And this article by John Bosma makes the case that if Israel does attack Iran, it will very likely have to use low-yield nukes to be sure of taking out Iran's nuclear facilities.

Quote of the Day II

REPORTER: And anything you wish - I'm sorry - that you had not done or that you'd done differently?

JIMMY CARTER: I wish I'd sent one more helicopter to get the hostages and we would have rescued them and I would have been re-elected.

But Neo-neocon rebuts Carters regrets and shows that the botched rescue (and even the entire crisis) were the results of multiple sequential bad decisions by Jimmy Carter.

Given that the shah's occasionally violent riot control during the revolution was now Exhibit A in Iran's human-rights case against the former regime and America, Carter wanted to avoid killing Iranians, so he had insisted that if a hostile crowd formed during the raid, Delta should attempt to control it without shooting people. Burruss considered this ridiculous. He and his men were going to assault a guarded compound in the middle of a city of more than 5 million people, most of them presumed to be aggressively hostile. It was unbelievably risky; everyone on the mission knew there was a very good chance they would not get home alive. Wade Ishmoto, a Delta captain who worked with the unit's intelligence division, had joked, 'The only difference between this and the Alamo is that Davy Crockett didn't have to fight his way in.'"
Even after it became known that the Shah was suffering from cancer, President Carter was reluctant to allow him entry to the United States, for fear of reprisal against Americans still in Iran. But in October, when the severity of the Shah's illness became known, Carter relented on humanitarian grounds. "He went around the room, and most of us said, 'Let him in.'" recalls Vice President Walter Mondale. "And he said, 'And if [the Iranians] take our employees in our embassy hostage, then what would be your advice?' And the room just fell dead. No one had an answer to that. Turns out, we never did...".

Should the Government Decide Which Political Positions Disqualify One from Dispensing Chicken?

And the Denver city council says YES!

Chick-fil-A's reputation as an opponent of same-sex marriage has imperiled the fast-food chain's potential return to Denver International Airport, with several City Council members this week passionately questioning a proposed concession agreement. .

Lopez compared Chick-fil-A's past politics to divisive remarks made this year by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump about immigration and other issues, saying: "I would throw up in my mouth a little bit if we did business with Trump."

Kniech, Lopez and other members said DIA's reputation was at stake, although airport officials view the concession as a big potential money-maker.

Reflects how poor of a leader that dolt is.

The problem was not the helicopter. The helicopter failure was the symptom of a gutted military and how incompetent leadership had degraded its capabilities over the years.

Good leadership could have made it happen with the given resources. Carter did not have that leadership.

IIRC, inter-branch squabbling transformed the rescue plan into a super Joint op with too many moving parts.

57 The car list has at least some crap on it, and is probably full of a lot more.

60 minutes faked their footage of Audis accelerating out of control. They later admitted it.

Audi issued several recalls despite finding nothing was wrong - extensive investigation determined drivers were pushing the wrong pedal when their cars "accelerated unintentionally."

But that's why newer cars have their poor pedals scattered all over the footwell so you can't heel-and-toe properly.

I suspect much of the list is researched that poorly.

58 The problem isn't really Iran's nuclear facilities. It's their leadership. This is why Israel doesn't feel compelled to attack India, also a nuclear state, but one whose leadership hasn't screamed from the mountaintops that it wants to wipe Israel off the map. So unless all of Iran's leadership wants to live in a bunker deep below the surface of the earth for the forseeable future, they're the ones that should be afraid of Israel.

87 That's no Pinto at #1. It has the body of a Maverick, but with weird tail lights.

Posted by: Jinx the Cat at August 26, 2015 11:52 PM (l3vZN)

88 That dangerous car list is bunk. The Pinto was no more dangerous than any other similarly sized car of the timeperiod, they all had gasoline filler tubes set far back in the "dangerous" location. The Pinto had the bad luck to be the model lawyers and the media focused on.

Similarly, 1980s Audis did NOT suffer from "sudden acceleration syndrom". The "syndrome" is due to driver error- Louis Ledfoot stamping on the gas rather than the brake, but the govt was loath to say so because if they say "driver error" there is no need for government intervention AND the lawsuit gravy train for their buddies the trial lawyers goes away.

Posted by: Weirddave at August 26, 2015 11:52 PM (7TK5d)

89 Regarding those 15 surprisingly dangerous cars....

#1. Ford Pinto. Or why my folks got a Chevy Chevette, which was not a fire bomb but regularly threatened my life as a young driver by taking nearly forever to get from 35 mph to 55 mph when merging onto I-275.

#3 and 4: These SUVs used to feature in El Rushbo's news features mocking the anti-SUV crusade back when human-threatening SUVs were the biggest threat to world peace. As Rush said, the drivers of the SUVs were never mentioned, just the SUVs themselves.

#6: Now I know why Dad bought a Grand Am instead of a Fiero in 1988.

#8: "In a used car lot on the edge of town/a liberal guy and a liberal gal buy a Yugo/and they drive with pride..."

#9: Anyone who drives a car made in the PR deserves what they get. End of story.

#13: Weebomobiles are at risk in collisions? Really?!? Who wouldn't know- Oh yeah, those self-righteous progtards driving them on I-75 and I-71 during rush hour at 60 mph in the MIDDLE LANE YOU CRAZY IDIOTS MOVE YOUR GODDAMN KIDDY CAR RIGHT NOW!!

Reflects how poor of a leader that dolt is.



The problem was not the helicopter. The helicopter failure was the
symptom of a gutted military and how incompetent leadership had
degraded its capabilities over the years.



Good leadership could have made it happen with the given resources. Carter did not have that leadership.



IIRC, inter-branch squabbling transformed the rescue plan into a super Joint op with too many moving parts.

Posted by: ConservativeMonster at August 26, 2015 11:44 PM (0NdlF)


Where to start? First, a failure to engage in contingency planning. A good leader would not let success depend on all the planets being in perfect alignment.
Second, a good leader would kick ass among the services to make fucking sure they worked together. In Carter's position, I'd make clear that anyone evincing one scintilla of inter-service rivalry would be cashiered tomorrow morning, and that if the mission failed, they'd ALL be out on the street the next day. Then I'd look around the room, and ask for questions. But I wouldn't make threats verbally or explicitly; long before this, I'd have made each of these positions crystal clear subliminally.

Third, don't micromanage from Washington. Delegate responsibility AND authority in equal measure, then leave it to those to whom you delagated the task. While you hope to God they pull it off.

I'm thinking saying loudly, "So, how's having the girls cross country team running with you ? Are there any cute girls?" might work. He HATES it if I mention anything about girls. Being a teen boy he looks at them of course, but social skills not being his forte that's all he does. i don't think he actually talks to them.

There were extra -53s sent from the carrier. One crew aborted due to a minor glitch while another crew pressed on with multiple warning lights.

There were Rangers. There was Air Force. There was Navy. And in the mix spooks from the CIA. And at many points during the training, the branches were not talking to each other or were giving out optimistic blow-jobs on the planning and success.

Then at the landing site, in the dark, an MC-130 and a -53 collided. And tragedy erupted as blood spilled as freely as fuel ignited.

So Jimmy, just go away already. You are an abject failure.

P. J. O'Rourke named the haplessly inept drivers of said cars "Joe Boatfoot" and "Betty Dumbtoes". I especially liked the Boatfoot appellation.

214 i don't think a successful rescue would have guaranteed Carter's reelection--far from it. The free world was in such a precarious position in 1980. I remember the big fear was that the Soviets would keep marching south from Afghanistan into the Middle East. Then you had the Solidarity movement in Poland, and there was great concern that Soviet tanks would roll into Warsaw, just like they did in Hungary in the late 1950's. And Carter seemed oblivious to it all.

Carter blew his chances at re election when he did not ask for a declaration of War against Iran when it took over our Embassy, and took the hostages.

They knew they could not economically survive any type of sustained bombing campaign, but banked on Carter being a wimp.... and being afraid of the Peace movement Post Viet Nam.

Which is why they caved when Reagan was elected...

The threat was much more credible...

(and yes, I'm not only old enough to remember this, I was in the USN at the time, and so his actions had a direct impact on me...).

254 Tennessee switched to "Parent 1" and "Parent 2" on agreed orders of custody. They reversed that decision soon after.

Personally, I preferred the new terminology. Single dads always get shafted by custody judges. Truthfully, it would be even better if there was just a spot for two SSNs, that keep the judges unbiased.

262 #234: I was asked today by a LIV liberal coworker if Trump employs any illegals, and I hadn't thought about it before. He runs several big businesses, and probably delegates a lot of his hiring decisions, so I told her I don't know.

It occurred to me later, though, that if Trump had a single illegal working at any of his companies, given the way he's talked about Obama these past several years, his companies would've already been shut down. Look at how all those Republican-owned Chrysler and GM dealerships were shut down in the big car company bailout, and the IRS targeting of conservative groups for added scrutiny (and the illegal collusion between Lois Lerner and the DoJ to try to get those groups' founders prosecuted for merely being conservative)...

Yeah, I think if any of Trump's businesses employed any illegals, he'd have already been prosecuted for it.

264 My final thought on Trump. I was always reserved because I wasn't sure if he was really serious.


Hiring Corey Laudner in Iowa and now bringing Clovis on board (clovis was previously with perry) has me convinced. These are THE two guys in Iowa. Barring any major f up, I think Trump will sweep IA, NH, and SC. Depending on any gope machinations or candidates dropping out, etc.


Every time I visit this blog, I see a Trump ad. He builds billion dollar buildings and knows that the midleman must always be taken care of. See his olive branch to weekly standard guys. NRO has gone off the rails on him so he might be forever done with them. Federalist is more of a blip. I think the very smart set, such as Ace, realize that pretty much nothing aside from throwing a kitty off the roof or some crazy gaffe derails Trump.


Even Rich Lowry I think is trying to set a different tone at NRO by embracing Trump's immigration policy full stop.


Strange times indeed.

265 Carter blew his chances at re election when he did not ask for a declaration of War against Iran when it took over our Embassy, and took the hostages.

They knew they could not economically survive any type of sustained bombing campaign, but banked on Carter being a wimp.... and being afraid of the Peace movement Post Viet Nam.

Which is why they caved when Reagan was elected...

The threat was much more credible...

(and yes, I'm not only old enough to remember this, I was in the USN at the time, and so his actions had a direct impact on me...).

281 214 i don't think a successful rescue would have guaranteed Carter's reelection--far from it. The free world was in such a precarious position in 1980. I remember the big fear was that the Soviets would keep marching south from Afghanistan into the Middle East. Then you had the Solidarity movement in Poland, and there was great concern that Soviet tanks would roll into Warsaw, just like they did in Hungary in the late 1950's. And Carter seemed oblivious to it all.

Cognitive dissonance. The intent is to step on the brake, but the foot lands on the accelerator instead. When the car fails to slow or stop, they push harder.


I saw it happen. Old guy, 80+ (and a real sharp old dude, too, no dummy) was parking a '61 Studebaker Cruiser at a local show and shine in a mall parking lot. Instead of coming to a stop, he accelerated abruptly and ran square into a brick wall. And having hit the wall, both rear wheels broke loose and burned rubber. Brake lights never came on. He maintained until his dying day that the brakes had failed, but bystanders, myself among them, checked out the car immediately after the incident, and found the brakes to be in perfect working order. Brake lights, too.


And '61 Studebaker Cruisers didn't have any fancy-ass computer-controlled anything on them. When those single-circuit hydraulic brakes failed, they stayed failed.

What did perry people do? They leaked clovis' private emails to des moines register (of all papers!) where he was knocking Trump to certain voters in an effort to damage clovis with his new employer.


So, if I have this straight clovis is on board with perry, perry issues marching orders to his people to attack Trump viciously, clovis does so and then his private emails are publicized by perry people to fuck up his relationship with new boss?

I hadn't heard that version before. Wild.

Checked the link. Apparently it was Paris to which someone was claiming to have shuttled Poppy Bush in an SR-71, for sooper seekret negotiations.

Having seen a very little bit of the hugely complicated traveling circus required to support Blackbird ops away from home base, ummmmmmmm no. That jet is about the furthest thing imaginable from a kick-the-tire, light-the-fire, away-we-go aircraft that there is.

You could land the SR in a pinch in many surprising places, and fly it back out of those places, and that happened a few times. But there's no way to have the "fly it back out" part happen without also bringing along the traveling circus. Without that, the jet just won't fly.

I'm 3/4 of the way through installing a new fill valve in our toilet. I'm at the point where I'm supposed to reattach the water supply connector, but when I try to screw it on and tighten it enough to engage the washer, the silly fill valve starts twisting around as well! And even though I have petite hands and arms, I can't reach between parts to get a good grip on the fill valve to keep it from rotating while I screw on the water supply connector.

Plus, my elbows don't bend backwards so I can work between the toilet and wall, and my head is in the way!

Anybody know the secret to getting these parts to cooperate?

I haven't commented since the debate thread, so anything after that until this is someone else using my name. So, now what? I have loved this blog and recommended it to many, but now that I have finally gotten bold enough to post a few comments, had my question greeted rudely and now this, I guess I'll go back to reading only the posts, or look elsewhere. I don't have time to read all the comments anyway, and now wonder what else has been done in my name. Anyway, I really appreciate your writing Ace, Dave, Maet and the commenters, and enjoy the challenging discussions. Thank you all...except the guy who stole my name.

The Mark-87 Llama is far improved over previous four-legged varieties. Where the Mark-82 made good use of wheels to achieve high speed travel over flat terrain, the Mark-87 made the leap to anti-gravity based hover technologies, allowing all terrain traverse.

Requires a bit more feed, but worth it to get hyper-accurate spit attacks into unsuspecting ears at unimagined angles.

Might be a hand strength thing. I just did a fill/flush valve replacement, and you hand tighten the fill valve to the tank before adding the supply and nut.

What do the instructions for your unit say? Consider using tools to add an extra quarter/half turn, being very careful not to overtighten it.

Woooo-OOOOO-oooooooo!

All day today, people were morbidly joking, "I wonder how long it will be before someone refers to the killer Vester Flanagan as a 'Gentle Giant.'"

Well, I kid you not, I just watched the KTVU news out of Oakland a couple minutes ago, which had a special report about Flanagan because he grew up in the Bay Area (in Oakland and Vallejo), and they interviewed one of his former neighbors who said, yep, "I can't believe he did this -- he was a gentle giant," triggering the Gentle Giant Siren above.

There's nothing left to satirize anymore. Even the most bitter sarcastic joke comes true almost immediately.

441 You would think that Carter would at least be popular in Panama, wouldn't you? As a native Panamanian, I can tell you that the opposite is the truth.

Sure, just about everyone there wanted sovereignty over the canal, but they did NOT want the US to cede the canal during the dictatorship of Omar Torrijos. ALL of the democratic opposition, from right to left, desperately tried to get Carter to continue Gerald Ford's policy of holding out negotiating as a carrot while demanding free speech and elections.

But Carter gave away the whole store for....nothing. Nothing for the USA at all and, considering the timing, worse than nothing for Panama, which was abandoned to Torrijos and his goon successor Noriega.

I've never met a Panamanian, left, right, or center, who liked Carter one bit. They still look upon him with contempt. Bush the Elder, OTOH, the mean invader who got rid of Noriega, is loved by many and respected by nearly all.

I can't help but think of the Iranians, the ones who hate the tyranny. Obama doesn't think of them at all.

As long as these narcissists get their pretty little "historic" deals and can smile for the cameras, nothing else matters.

442 Thanks, ConservativeMonster. I did indeed attach the fill valve to the tank with a locknut and tightened as far as it would go, but turning the water supply connector coupling past a certain point just causes the valve to turn as well. Part of the problem is that the coupling is a little crusty from water deposits, so there is more resistance when I try to turn it.

A coating of silicone caulk where the fill valve assembly seats at the base of the tank. Let it cure for two hours or so and it'll hold the valve in place as the threaded connector is spun up on the lower part of the assembly.

Cheap insurance. Those things, even the allegedly "burst proof" braided stainless jacketed supply lines, get fragile with age and can end up causing major water damage.

Or for a quick fix, if you have some CLR under the sink -- a household must-have -- soak the connector and the crust should be able to be brushed away in a short while.

513 As far as toilets are concerned, I have only this to say:

ToTo single-piece toilet.

I got one and it is 100% PROBLEM-FREE.

There is practically nothing that can leak.

One you go single-piece, you can never go back to those separate tanks and what-not.

Or you could try an old trick that has worked for me consistently:

Pretend to have met one of the state attorneys at a party.

In response to the question, "Do you have a personal connection to anyone involved in this case?", I replied, "Well, haven't we met before? I think I know you. Was it at a party...?" The lawyer always gets flustered and denies everything, but then the other lawyer inevitably uses one his his exemptions to kick me out.

Works every time.

525 Mindy, you have to remember that historically, the first flush toilets had their reservoirs mounted high on the wall, so that gravity would accelerate the surge of water down the pipe, to effectively clear offerings. There was a dangling chain that you pulled to make it flush.


So, of necessity, the tank was pierced at two places on the bottom from the get-go.

Secret information is kept completely apart from the regular world. Much of it is on paper ONLY and can only be reviewed in special secure facilities with specified standards for locks, etc. Some of it can be reviewed on a special network COMPLETELY separate from the internet -- as in, a computer can be in the secret world or in the regular world, but never in both....and once in one, it can't be moved to the other.


Every man or woman who has dealt with secret information has been informed about the rules and the protocols involved in maintaining this wall. It's much like the protocols for treating Ebola patients -- you put the gowns on in a particular order, you disinfect at these steps, you use these tools to put on protection and these other tools to take it off.


The secret data on Hillary's servers is essentially the same as finding a bloodstained surgical towel that tests positive for Ebola in the Director of an Ebola clinic's personal laundry. You can argue about it being not very much, or that it would have been laundered with bleach, or that it was caught in time, or that it never got out into the real world, or any other excuse you might want to use....but the fact that secret information was found on the other side of the wall means that protocols were blown.


If the Ebola clinic's Director wanted to do the right thing, he'd go into 42-day quarantine, he'd spill all of his contacts, people in hazmat suits would be all over his house, his car, his office, his clinic....every employee would be interviewed extensively as to their knowledge of the protocols and their execution -- and rightly so, because people's lives depended on getting this stuff right. Just like leaking lists of dissidents in despotic regimes, identifying a US mole in a foreign government, or revealing interception and decryption capabilities might.


That's why the law has significant penalties for those who bridge that gap, or sit silent when they know that gap has been bridged, or try to cover-up the method by which the bridge occurred. David Petraeus got nailed for breaching the designated protocols even though nothing was leaked. Nobody caught Ebola when Petraeus left some sample vials in his home fridge submerged in bleach -- it was possibly more safe than if he'd left them at the clinic -- but it left them outside the wall if a tornado hit, or burglars, or the housecleaners threw them out, or his wife threw them at his girlfriend.


The protocols may seem nonsensical, they may seem petty, the information may seem inconsequential, it may seem like a smear....but the protocols have clearly been violated, and they were seriously and professionally engineered to compartmentalize and minimize risk (better than the CDC's Ebola protocols).

Be my guest -- and "revise and expand" at will. Most of what I know about the diff between secret and not I learned here.....but, get this, confirmed in the real world. The deflections that the Clintonites will throw about "it shouldn't have been secret in the first place" or "it didn't go anywhere when it was sitting on a regular computer" completely miss the fact that there was a hole in the wall. Millions of lives depend on that wall being solid, and it was designed to stay that way.

I had a situation about 25 years ago where I left my employer under honorable (but strained) circumstances and their office was across the street from the courthouse. I got a jury-duty summons and I wrote a letter back saying that it probably wouldn't be good if I encountered my ex-coworkers or management when I went out to lunch during a trial.



Even though I could have been called to serve at a couple of other local courts at the time, and I've since moved twice into different jurisdictions, I just don't get called. I think I've gotten the coveted "intelligent psychotic ramblings" classification.

She or her minions punched holes through an iron wall maintained as the highest priority by those who honorably served -- a wall whose security is worth the lives of millions -- for trivial, selfish, stupid, and petty reasons. And she's going round-and-round about "political smears" and "partisan attacks" concerning those who are trying to repair the damage to the wall, just because the inevitable fallout to this repair will involve criminal charges against her or her staff.

If you don't already have one and you have been thinking about it, this is probably the time to buy an AR-15. A lot of companies made a lot of them during the panic and they are probably going to go up in price when the surplus clears the market. You might also want to stock up on .223 ammunition for them since that also seems to be available at bargain prices. They are loads of fun for the whole family and there might come a time when you are very happy to have bought it.

591 VIA,Good Morning!Thank you- I know Vic wouldn't leave his wife if she needed him.

593 And has anybody come up with the cancer statistics of those Americans who died of cancer and were NOT involved with 9/11? Just asking, don't mean to piss anybody off. I personally feel we should switch off the same number of jihadis as the number of good innocent folks we lost that day. Of course, I also feel we should have been doing that EVERY day since 9/11. But I could be classified as a vindictive ahole. I suppose.

Oh great, it gives him more time to show up at every Black Lives Matter demonstration, assuming they pay him enough. He will never be able to pay his taxes now, but they are probably going to keep his pay the same, so he has hope.

597 Eromer-Don't go refuting emotion with that new fangled science!
I also wonder about the rate of cancer of survivors versus a control group. Plus the "dust lady" was said to have developed a "substance abuse" problem. If it was alcohol, that is said to be a factor in stomach cancer which is what got her.

In related news any Vietnam Vet with prostate cancer is considered by the Gov. to have gotten it from agent orange. Never mind that they are all of the right age now to get prostate cancer.

599 I drove one of those Pinto Deathmobiles, for real. By the time I got it, it already had over 100,000 miles on it. It was a real firecracker. Zero to 60 in something like 15 seconds. Zero to 70 in never. I don't think it could do 70, for real.

It had the "anti-blow-up" modification to the gas tank, which was just a large piece of blow-molded plastic.

The floor boards rotted out, so I bought the hood off an old Ford Maverick and did some tin-snipping, pop-riveting, and caulking. voila, new floor boards... Covered them with lime green shag carpeting.

A real "babe magnet," that car was.

It was a mess, but it was my first car... so I adored it.

And, yes, I put an AM/FM/Cassette player AND 6X9" JENSENS on the first day.

Because that's what you did back in the late 70's...

600 Back in 1975 (when I turned 16), I had saved up enough money to buy a hang-glider. This is back in the days of Rogollo gliders, which were unstable and extremely dangerous.

My parents made me buy their yellow Ford Pinto from them instead.

At the time, I thought they wanted me to be safe.

I know realize they wanted to kill me.

601 Yeah, because they ONLY reason Carter lost 489-49 (worst beat down since FDR beat Hoover in '35) was that he didn't get those hostages out of Iran.

Idiot.

602 186 .. because we didn't want a license that said "Applicant A" and "Applicant B...

Whew! We're Husband and Wife on our Indiana license from three years ago (I think, hmm better check)...

Congratulations to you, HR. If your husband is anything like mine, you're going to LOVE being married. Best three years of my life...and we found each other in our 50's. Neither of us had been married before. It's great.

604 Jimmy Carter has been running back into his peanut patch, and spending too much time indulging in crusty cans of Billy Beer

The botched helicopter rescue was due to the fact that it was a joint military action which required coordination of the armed forces. Coordination that didn't exist because of the growth of inter-service rivalry which caused each service to create technical silos that did not mesh technically.

This was corrected by the Goldwater and Nichols act in 1986 and is a big reason why our military is so effective.
