And another reason to have invaded

"The United States has found 500 chemical weapons in Iraq since 2003, and more weapons of mass destruction are likely to be uncovered, two Republican lawmakers said Wednesday.

"We have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, chemical weapons," Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., said in a quickly called press conference late Wednesday afternoon.

Reading from a declassified portion of a report by the National Ground Intelligence Center, a Defense Department intelligence unit, Santorum said: "Since 2003, coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent. Despite many efforts to locate and destroy Iraq's pre-Gulf War chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf War chemical munitions are assessed to still exist.""

So the WMD's did exist, just like the Administration said. But why in tarnation does it take a US senator to say all this, rather then the administration defending itself? Its just stupid! This is the kind of story that sticks a knife in the democrat propaganda campaign!
Just glad that Saddam didn't use'em on our troops on the way in. That would have been terrible.

Secret agent ring tone

Story: "A high-pitched sound developed in Britain to deter teen loitering and inaudible to most adults has invaded US classrooms where youngsters are using it in their cell phones to communicate without their teacher's knowledge.

The ring-tone, know as "Teen Buzz," allows students to surreptitiously exchange text messages unbeknownst to teachers whose older ears cannot detect the sound.

A security company in Wales developed the tone -- the Mosquito Teen Repeller -- to drive away teens loitering around shopping malls in Britain,

But US teens have created their own version of the piercing sound and are selling it on the Internet for 2.99 dollars.

Most adults are unable to hear the tone as with age people are less likely to hear high-frequency sounds.

At 17,000 Hertz, Teen Buzz falls within the highest of pitches noticeable to humans, who can hear as low as 40-50 Hz and as high as 20,000 Hz."

Thats just awsome. Until you get caught, I suppose. And it's expensive, and sounds painful on the ears... Yeah. Still cool though.

Sheilds up!

Story: "The Pentagon activated its new U.S. ground-based interceptor missile defense system, and officials announced yesterday that any long-range missile launch by North Korea would be considered a "provocative act."
...
Two Navy Aegis warships are patrolling near North Korea as part of the global missile defense and would be among the first sensors that would trigger the use of interceptors, the officials said yesterday.

The U.S. missile defense system includes 11 long-range interceptor missiles, including nine deployed at Fort Greeley, Alaska, and two at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. The system was switched from test to operational mode within the past two weeks, the officials said."

And thats why we need star wars folks. Missle shield has its uses, despite the lack of the Soviet Union. We've still got China, North Korea, and India or Pakistan in the region, armed with nukes.
It would be very, very cool to see this system in action. North Korea's response should be very satisfying.

Zarqawi held benifits in India..

Story: "Iraq's deceased Al Qaida leader, Abu Musab Al Zarqawi, was registered for unemployment benefits in India, a recent report suggests.

A query has been ordered to certify how Al Zarqawi, who was killed in a US air strike in Iraq last week, came to be registered as an Indian resident.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Secretary, N C Bajpai, is particularly concerned about reports that the late Al Qaida leader, who was registered under the name of Ama Zarqawi, was made eligible for unemployment benefits by the Lucknow district administration.

Disciplinary action has been ordered by the principal secretary and district administration against those responsible for the lapse."

Indeed, truth is stranger then fiction.

North Korea says 'Look at me!'

Story: "North Korea yesterday threatened to “mercilessly wipe out” US forces in case of war during a national meeting to mark leader Kim Jong-Il’s 42 years’ work at the ruling party.

The threat, in a ruling party report carried by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), came as North Korea was reportedly preparing to test-fire a long-range missile despite strong protests from the United States and its allies.

Choe Thae Bok, a ranking Workers’ Party official, said Washington was “hell-bent on provocations of war of aggression” in the report to mark the 42nd anniversary of Kim’s start at the party, KCNA said.

“If the enemies ignite a war eventually, the Korean army and people will mercilessly wipe out the aggressors and give vent to the deep-rooted grudge of the nation,” Choe was quoted as telling the meeting.""

Lost in the bustle about Iran, Criminal immigration and Al-Zarqawi, is poor little North Korea. So, how do they get more attention? By arming a long range ballistic weapon, that could potientally be armed with a nucular warhead.
Oh Boy!
And as usual, the madcap party leaders threaten to destroy the world, most specifically, the US and South Korea. Japan and China are also not to fond of this turn of events, both threatening harsh retaliation. And you have to immagine Russia's got something to say here.

They'd be fools to launch this missle, but I beleive fools are what leads that country.

McKinney let off

FOX News: "A grand jury declined to indict Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney on Friday in connection with a confrontation in which she admitted hitting a police officer who tried to stop her from entering a House office building.

The grand jury had been considering the case since shortly after the March 29 incident, which has led to much discussion on Capitol Hill about race and the conduct of lawmakers and the officers who protect them."

Culture of corruption hits the dems square in the face. But, McKinney is left off. Any other person in this nation wouldn't be able to slap a cop and run off, simply because the guy didn't remember 1 face out of 545. She got away with it by pulling the race card, and saying that the cop was a rascist.
Simply a travesty of justice.

Iran Rattles Saber, Round VI

Story: "Iran's defense minister on Thursday vowed that his country would "use nuclear defense as a potential" if "threatened by any power."

Speaking following a meeting with his Syrian counterpart Hassan Ali Turkmani in Teheran on Thursday, Iranian Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar emphasized that Iran "should be ready for confronting all kinds of threats."

Diplomacy sure seems to be working here...
You just can't negotiate with evil.

Illegals busted back to Mexico

"In a blitz that began May 26, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested nearly 2,100 illegal immigrants across the country. Officials said the raids are aimed at child molesters, gang members and other violent criminals, as well as people like Da Silva who sneaked back into the country after a judge threw them out.

The crackdown is called Operation Return to Sender.

"This sends a message," said Monico, standing outside the gray Victorian apartment where Da Silva had been hiding. "When we deport you, we're serious."

An Associated Press reporter and photographer accompanied a fugitive task force as it made Operation Return to Sender raids Tuesday night and early Wednesday.

The operation has caught more than 140 immigrants with convictions for sexual offenses against children; 367 known gang members, including street soldiers in the deadly Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13; and about 640 people who had already been deported once, immigration officials said. The numbers include more than 720 arrests in California alone.

More than 800 people arrested already have been deported."

Thats how you deal with illegal immigrants, bust'em back where they came from, or let them rot in prison. Then seal the border, so they don't come back.

I'm glad to see some one in government is paying attention. Hastard and the House, and the custom's guys. The Senate and Bush are not.

God Bless the US House

Story: "Hopes for a quick compromise on immigration were dealt a blow Tuesday after House Speaker Dennis Hastert said he wanted to take a "long look" at a Senate bill offering possible citizenship to millions of illegal immigrants.

Hastert said hearings on the Senate bill should be held before appointing anyone to a House-Senate committee to negotiate a compromise immigration bill. Later, he said he was unsure what the House's next move would be.

"We're going to take a long look at it," Hastert said late Tuesday.

House Majority Leader John Boehner agreed. "I think we should know clearly what's in the Senate bill," Boehner said. But he added there are lots of ways to understand its contents."

This is the ammnesty bill out of the senate. If the conservative force in the house is strong enough, we may not have to live with ammnesty for 11 million felons. I hope they do not reach a compromise, I hope that the house bill becomes law. The only way to deal with criminals is do punish them, and ammnesty is not punishment.

English please- illegal???

"The U.S. government seized thousands of classified Iraqi government papers when Saddam's regime was toppled, and Washington recently released a trove of these documents on the Pentagon's Foreign Military Studies Office Web site.

The documents, many in Arabic and with no accompanying translation, provide multiple insights into events inside pre-war Iraq. The dossier, however, is huge and disorganized. Digging out its secrets is a laborious task — one that the U.S. government decided to leave to others.
...
Geno's owner Joey Vento, the grandson of Italian immigrants, said he has no plans to remove the sign.
"I don't see why I should have to. It's freedom of speech," said Vento...
He said no one is refused service and no one is discriminated against. The sign, which has been displayed for about six months, is meant to encourage immigrants to learn English, he said.
"If you don't speak English, the sign means nothing,""

I think this is pretty self obvious. The guy wants to run his buisness in english, and thats a great way to garner some buisness. So some criminals take offense because they just have to eat there, it is compleatly impossible to go anywhere else. So, they whine to the city, and some other group of busybodies and crime lovers comes to slap the man with a fine.
This is so stupid.

The S Files

"It is my belief," Robison says, "that those who just want to know the truth will find new and shocking information in these documents and may even change their beliefs about the reasons for the war."

Our government documents are difficult to dicifer. I can only imagine how much more difficult Saddams are.

Ann Coulter firestorm

Story: "A member of the Sept. 11 commission on Friday lashed out at conservative pundit Ann Coulter for a "hate-filled attack" in saying the widows whose husbands died in the World Trade Center used the deaths for their own political gain.

In her latest book, Coulter criticizes the four New Jersey widows who pushed for an independent commission to investigate the Sept. 11, attacks. The women also backed Democrat John Kerry's presidential candidacy in 2004.

"These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief- arazzis. I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much," Coulter wrote."

Ya know, I don't think her remarks are off base at all. Do you realize that each family recieved millions of dollars from the federal government, and countless more from the various charity groups? And ya know how much the family of a soldier gets for dying for you and me? Twelve thousand.

For these widows to go campaign for a canidate in an election, touting there status as 9/11 widows as some great credintials, is using their husbands death for political gain. What gives them the credibility? Are they experts on terrorists? No. Are the people that died in the Oklahoma city bombing experts on domestic terrorists? No. Are the folks who were shoved out of louisiana by Katrina experts on hurricanes? No. So why are the 9/11 widows allowed to campaign for canidates, using there status as having lost a husband for political capital?

The Armada sets sail...

I'd like to point out a fine example of the Pirate Armada setting sail into moonbat waters, taking on the clowns of the left.
Left wing nut post: here

The response is below. Basically, the guy claims that a quarter of a million civies have been killed or tortured by the US army, and the media has been covering it up! Those dastardly reporters, always siding with america!!! And this guys state purpose is to give the occupied palistenians a voice.

And so in respose to this, the armada set sail and rather effectivly dismantled his ship.

This folks, is what we're up against in the coming elections. We've got absolutly nothing to fear but fear itself, because this garners no votes.

Hamas takes a blow

Story: "An Israeli air strike Thursday killed the top Hamas enforcer in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian hospital officials and group members said.

Israel has accused militant faction leader Jamal Abu Samhadana of spearheading rocket attacks on Israel and of the fatal 2003 bombing of a U.S. convoy in the Gaza Strip."

This will be a week long remembered in the halls of terror. It has seen the end of Zarqawi, and the end of Samhadana.

Air strikes for both of them. There's an old saying 'He he controls the sea, controls the world.' I think that may well have been replaced with 'He who maintains air superiority controls the world.'

Al-Zarqawi: Now a dead idiot

AP Story:"Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, al-Qaida's leader in Iraq who led a bloody campaign of suicide bombings and kidnappings, has been killed in an air strike, U.S. and Iraqi officials said Thursday, adding that his identity was confirmed by fingerprints and a look at his face. It was a major victory in the U.S.-led war in Iraq and the broader war on terror.

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said al-Zarqawi was killed along with seven aides Wednesday evening in a remote area 30 miles northeast of Baghdad in the volatile province of Diyala, just east of the provincial capital of Baqouba, al-Maliki said.

Loud applause broke out among the reporters and soldiers as al-Maliki, flanked by U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad and U.S. Gen. George Casey, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, told a news conference that "al-Zarqawi was eliminated."

But any hopes the Jordanian-born terror leader's death would help stem the violence in Iraq were dimmed hours later when a car bomb exploded in a Baghdad market, killing 12 and wounding 65."

Air strikes take out Abu Musab Al Zarqawi, most likly in his home. Good, its what the terrorist deserved. And so what do his 'followers' do? They kill them selves. Very clever, ya'll.

USA Sugar gliders?

This is just too cool. In the old days, the Rangers or SEALs or Green Berrets would come in on a boat or be dropped by parachute. Now, they can glide in from an air drop 120 miles away, be undetectable by radar, and pretty much silent. A 6ft carbonfiber wing strapped on the back, and it can be filled with up to 200lbs equipment, and carry the warrior to the battle.

3 years from now, we'll have a special squadron of these guys called the 'Flying Squirrels'.

5 years from now, they'll add jet engines to these things, and we'll have jet pack troopers hopping all over the place, wreaking havoc upon the enemies.

15 years from now, we'll just be dropping all of our soldiers from the air into the heart of an enemy base, without warning. Now that's a smart bomb.

Hat tip to Daweed for the story.

Abortion Ban for Louisiana?

WWLTV.com | News for New Orleans, Louisiana | Local News: "Gov. Kathleen Blanco was expected to sign a strict abortion ban into law after the Senate on Monday gave the measure final legislative approval.

Blanco has said she planned to sign the bill that would ban nearly all abortions in Louisiana, though only if the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade abortion rights ruling is overturned. The bill by Sen. Ben Nevers, D-Bogalusa, could only take effect under two circumstances: the U.S. Constitution is amended to allow states to ban abortion; or the Supreme Court strikes down Roe v. Wade.

Under the measure, doctors found guilty of performing abortions would face up to 10 years in prison and fines of $100,000."

Awsome. Only problem is the dependancy on the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and that may take a few more years.

June Six

Its June 6th today. If you look at the calendar, it's 6/6/06.

But I think there's something more important to remember.

D-Day, 1942.

"Soldiers, sailors, and airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force! You are about to embark upon the great crusade toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you." - Gen. Eisenhower

Economy: 4.6% unemployment, lowest in 5 years

CBS/AP Story: "the nation's unemployment rate dipped to 4.6 percent, the lowest in nearly 5 years. "

Thats incredible. Most devestating hurricanes in history last year, oil prices skyrocketing, and a persistent barrage of negative news, and the economy still plows ahead.

I'd like to take a look at that last problem, persistent negativity.
If you look at the above quote, the article appears good. When you open the link, you find a morass of gloom, conjured out of some of the best news in the nation.
Examples:
"Cautious employers added just 75,000 new jobs in May, the fewest in seven months,"

"Retail took the biggest hit, losing more than 27,000 jobs. One reason: customers are spending less because they're paying more for gas"

"The other hammer to the economy came from the once-booming construction sector. It came to a standstill in May, adding only 1,000 jobs"

"Those factors, along with sagging consumer confidence, are making companies extra careful not to bulk up their payrolls"

And THEN, the real news:
"Taking a bit of the sting out of the sluggish job creation was the fact that the nation's unemployment rate dipped to 4.6 percent, the lowest in nearly 5 years."

Along with that, we have this bit o' news:
"Manufacturers, retailers, home builders, trucking firms, hotels and motels were among those shedding jobs last month. Financial firms, health care providers, educational services, accountants and bookkeepers, architects and engineers, and computer designers all boosted employment."

One of the most persistant sayings of a doom an gloom liberal: 'The jobs are there, but they aren't good jobs!'. Well, what we have here is the low wage jobs loosing steam, but the high wage, white collar jobs taking up the slack and then carrying the torch. More good news!

How so much despair can be pulled out of record setting unemployment, I can't fathom. I can shake my head, and remember that CBS is the same folks who used forged documents during the elections, and the AP is the clowns who run the stories everytime a soldier is wounded. Both have a vendeda against Bush, and it shows very strongly.

The Church of St. Michael Moore: Built on lies?

AP Story: "A veteran who lost both arms in the war in Iraq is suing filmmaker Michael Moore for $85 million, alleging that Moore used snippets of a television interview without his permission to falsely portray him as anti-war in "Fahrenheit 9/11."

Sgt. Peter Damon, a National Guardsman from Middleborough, is asking for damages because of "loss of reputation, emotional distress, embarrassment, and personal humiliation," according to the lawsuit filed in Suffolk Superior Court last week.

Damon, 33, claims that Moore never asked for his consent to use a clip from an interview Damon did with NBC's "Nightly News."

He lost his arms when a tire on a Black Hawk helicopter exploded while he and another reservist were servicing the aircraft on the ground. Another reservist was killed in the explosion.

In his lawsuit, Damon says he "agrees with and supports the President and the United States' war effort, and he was not left behind."

He said that, while at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center recovering from his wounds, he had surgery and physical therapy, learned to use prosthetics and live independently. He also said that Homes For Our Troops, a not-for-profit group, built him a house with handicapped accessibility.

"The work creates a substantially fictionalized and falsified implication as a wounded serviceman who was left behind when Plaintiff was not left behind but supported, financially and emotionally, by the active assistance of the President, the United States and his family, friends, acquaintances and community," Damon says in his lawsuit."

What a man. He loses his arms in combat, and is now recovered and using prothsetics. Not only that, but he still supports the defense of america, and is standing up for what he believes in, and his own word. If Micheal Moore did this, it is not supriseing. Repulsive? Yes. Taking the words of a soldier out of context and without his permission is about as low as the dirt in the bottom of a potted plant.

Still, not surprising coming from Moore.
