Islamic jihadists can run, but they can't hide

On the day after 9/11, George Bush promised the American people that our military would take the fight to the terrorists wherever in the world they might be. Seems he meant every word...

By The Associated Press
FAZUL ABDULLAH MOHAMMED: A 32-year-old senior al-Qaida suspect who has a $5 million bounty on his head for allegedly planning the 1998 attacks on the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed 225 people, [was killed yesterday when a U.S. military AC-130 gunship attacked suspected al-Qaida positions in a villiage suburb of Mogadishu, Somalia.] Fazul, who was born in the Comoros Islands, is also suspected of planning the nearly simultaneous car bombing of an Israeli-owned hotel and failed attempt to shoot down an Israeli airliner in Kenya in 2002. Thirteen people died in the hotel bombing. Fazul joined al-Qaida in Afghanistan and trained there with Osama bin Laden before becoming a teacher at a religious school in northern Kenya in the mid-1990s. He was captured by Kenyan police in 2002 for credit card fraud, but escaped after a day and fled to Somalia where authorities believe he has been hiding ever since.

We need a heck of a lot more of these type of operations around the world to show the terrorists that we cannot be toyed with, and that there is nowhere on Earth that they are safe from the long arm of the U.S. military.

UPDATE: Apparently this was a premature report. That bad guy was not killed after all. We did however, terminate some other less valuable targets in the bombing raid. Just kill them all and let God sort them out.

A cop's cop

I'll bet the smelly hippies in NoCal are glad to see this guy hitting the dusty trail...

ALAMEDA COUNTY - After more than 50 years in one career, its not uncommon to think about what one would have done differently.

Monday, on his last day on the job, Alameda County Sheriff Charles Plummer had his own thoughts. After a retirement ceremony that included helicopter flyovers, bagpipes and what seemed like thousands of handshakes, the former Berkeley and Hayward top cop sat in his office afterward and voiced that one regret.

"I wish I would have hit some people harder during the riots," said Plummer, speaking of the riots in Berkeley in the late-1960s. "I regret that."

Not having been hit harder by authoritarian figures is exactly what smelly hippies are missing in their miserable misguided lives. It's why they turn out to be unproductive critics of the establishment and miserable degenerates rather than well-adjusted achievers and happy, hygienic citizens.

If America had more cops in the sixties like Charles Plummer, we'd be better off today.

Toons of the times

I found these 'toons over at TownHall.com. They pretty much sum up the first week of '07. Some good news and some bad.

Death from above

Nothing enhances the enjoyment of my morning cup of Joe like waking up to the news of the world-dominating American military raining death and destruction down on helpless Islamofascists...

MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Many people died when a U.S. gunship hunting al Qaeda suspects attacked a village in southern Somalia as part of a wide air offensive against fugitive Islamists, officials said on Tuesday.

In Washington's first overt military intervention in Somalia since a disastrous peacekeeping mission that ended in 1994, an AC-130 plane rained gunfire on the remote village of Hayo late on Monday, a senior government official said.

"There are so many dead bodies and animals in the village," the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Reuters.

And I believe him! Take a look at the armament capabilities of the AC-130 Gunship. You would not want to be an Al-Qaeda puke with one of these flying around overhead...

Armament - AC-130E Pave Aegis and AC-130H Pave Spectre II

2× 20 mm M61 Vulcan cannon
1× 40 mm L60 Bofors cannon
1× 105 mm (4.13 in) M102 howitzer

Just imagine you're a dumb, Islamofascist, would-be terrorist trying to get some shut-eye in your sandy sleeping bag, dreaming about virgins in paradise after a long day jumping around the jungle-gym at the terrorist training camp, when out of nowhere, a 105mm Howitzer in the sky knocks you right out of your sandles and dirty night shirt...but not before you soil yourself.

It just makes me smile.

Dumb liberals

Here's what dumb liberals in Nancy Pelosi's district in California do for fun...

Those letters are supposed to be 100 feet tall so this worthwhile project would take like 2000 dumb liberals.

Dumb liberals gathering to accomplish absolutely nothing = Typical

Getting 2000 dumb liberals and their hybrid cars off the streets and out of everybody's way = Useful

A tsunami washing ashore at this precise moment = Delightful


If you want to see a complete picture account of the demonstration, head on over to Zombietime.com and check it out. There you'll see the most pathetic collection of liberal, California dumb-hippie types since the '04 Democratic National Convention.

I am speechless to hear that illegal aliens from Mexico who get away with breaking our immigration laws also have no respect for any of our other laws...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Illegal immigrants who were caught but released in the United States may have been re-arrested as many as six times, Justice Department data released Monday indicates.

The findings by Justice Department Inspector General Glenn A. Fine are based on a sampling of 100 illegal immigrants arrested by local and state authorities in 2004, the latest complete data available. They show that 73 of the 100 immigrants were arrested, collectively, 429 times - ranging from traffic tickets to weapons and drug charges.

Fine's office said its audit could not conclude precisely how many of the 262,105 illegal immigrants charged with criminal histories that year had been re-arrested. "But if this data is indicative of the full population of 262,105 criminal histories, the rate at which released criminal aliens are re-arrested is extremely high," the audit noted.

And Bush tells us that they just want to come here in pursuit of a better life. Bush is wrong! What's happening isn't simply innocent, poor people looking for a better life in America. It's an illegal migration of Mexico's uneducated, criminal class into this country in order to rape our system of all they can get out of it. And our politicians refuse to do anything about it because the illegals are viewed as a potential future voting block.

That's why politicians are despicable, contemptable, wretches!

War on Terror (with a Twist)

This weekend proved to be an interesting time for the war in Iraq. It appears that, until now, our country's disagreements have been handled after the need was dealt with. Stop the presses, but the congress and the president are about to take sides on the issues of this war.

President Bush is supposed to outline a new military plan for the Middle East. This will include a short term deployment of up to 20,000 additional troops. It appears that the new military brass is in line with this thinking. All feel that there needs to be a force to quell the insurgencies within the Baghdad region. The thinking appears to include these additional forces, more local Sunni involvement in all aspects of protection and in government, as well as the eventual removal of our troops after sufficient training for the local replacements.

Alas, Nancy Pelosi and her Democratic friends are starting to squawk and to strut around suggesting that they will withhold funds for the war. The funding is not broken out by line item, so if financial support is removed or is limited, the current ground forces will be left to do a job without adequate support and supplies. If this happens, the '08 elections could take an early and ugly turn for the Democrats. I may be wrong, but I feel that if American soldiers are dying because of inadequate funding or because of party politics, the populace will revolt and swiftly deal with the perpetrators. Lets watch this play out starting with the Presidential speech this Wednesday. The P-Lo-crats could make for an interesting winter. We'll see. More on this as it develops.

The great Bush deception

Seriously, I can't wait for Bush to be gone. Read about this secret attempt to sell out what's left of the failing Social Security system to the Mexicans and subvert the will of a vast majority of law-abiding Americans , and see if you don't agree that George Bush has overstayed his welcome...

U.S.-Mexico Pact Revealed: Billions to Non-citizens

WASHINGTON -- As a result of lawsuits, the U.S. government released this week the actual U.S.-Mexico Social Security Totalization Agreement, an understanding signed between the Bush administration and the Mexican government in 2004 that would funnel billions of U.S. Social Security funds to Mexican citizens.

That's right folks, Bush signed a secret agreement with Mexico to give them billions in our Social Security money. Read on.

In general, Totalization Agreements are between the United States and other countries to coordinate their respective social security programs. For instance, such agreements typically work to eliminate the need to pay social security taxes in both countries — when companies in one country send workers to the other country. Also they are crafted to protect benefit eligibility for workers who split their working careers between the two countries.

According to TREA, if an illegal worker working in the United States today gets a "work authorized" Social Security number — through guest-worker immigration legislation, the Totalization Agreement, or perhaps just over time — that worker could eventually apply for Social Security benefits once the worker has met eligibility requirements.

The Dreaded Loophole

"A law called the Social Security Protection Act of 2004 forbids illegal immigrants from claiming Social Security benefits — but a loophole exists," Phillips explained.

"If an immigrant gains what's called a valid ‘work-authorized' Social Security number at some point, then he or she could eventually file a claim for benefits. The government would use all earnings to calculate the retirement benefit — even earnings while working illegally," Phillips added.

For example, say TREA officials, a worker who turns 62 after 1990 generally needs 40 calendar quarters of coverage to receive retirement benefits. Under Totalization Agreements, workers are allowed to combine earnings from both countries in order to qualify for benefits.

The agreement with Mexico, like other Totalization Agreements, would allow workers to qualify with just six quarters, or 18 months, of U.S. coverage.

So what that means is that a Mexican national who had worked for 20 years in Mexico, could come here and put in just 18 month in a meat-packing plant, or lettuce farm, file for SS benefits based on 21.5 years of work history, and return to Mexico and collect benefits. All paid for by the same people who foot the bill for every damn thing...the American tax payer.

In addition, advised TREA, that worker could be able to claim credits for work performed while in the United States illegally. The SSA maintains an "earnings suspense file," which tracks wages that cannot be posted to individual workers' records because there is no match for a name and Social Security number.

Once an immigrant gains access to a work authorized Social Security number — whether a legal citizen or not — wages earned while in the United States unlawfully could be reinstated to the worker's new Social Security account, warned TREA officers.

The cost of such an agreement is highly uncertain. In March 2003, the Office of the Chief Actuary estimated that the cost of the Mexican agreement would be $78 million in the first year and would grow to $650 million (in constant 2002 dollars) in 2050. The actuarial cost estimate assumes the initial number of newly eligible Mexican beneficiaries is equivalent to the 50,000 beneficiaries living in Mexico today and would grow six-fold over time.

According to the Social Security Administration, the Social Security Trust Fund will begin paying out more than it is taking in by 2017, and will be exhausted by the year 2040.

Phillips noted that [before the emergence of the agreement] "the Administration always called it ludicrous to suggest that illegal immigrants could get their hands on our Social Security."

"We not hearing that anymore," Phillips lamented.

There you have it folks. Bush selling out the American people to curry favor with the Mexican government. The question is why, given that he should be trying to curry favor with American citizens. I think Bush's world view is one in which Mexico and the U.S. are one country for all practical purposes. Where workers flow back and forth seamlessly and our economies are one. Combine this disaster of an idea with the treacherous amnesty bill that will instantly create 20 million new Democrat, non-English speaking, hostile-to-America voters, and you have the beginning of the end of the U.S. as we know it.

This is why I might vote Liberterian in '08.

Democrats will always be Democrats

They will seduce most of America by using all the feel-good jargon you can imagine to justify raising taxes on productive Americans, but at the end of the day, they remain vile, loathsome liberals disguised as progressives...

WASHINGTON – Democrats are not ruling out raising taxes for the wealthiest people to help pay for tax cuts for middle-income families, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said.
She spoke of pursuing an estimated $300 billion that people owe in back taxes, eliminating deficit spending and reducing wasteful federal spending.

“As we review what we get from ... collecting our taxes a reducing waste, fraud and abuse, investing in education and in initiatives which will bring money into the treasury, it may be that tax cuts for those making over a certain amount of money, $500,000 a year, might be more important to the American people than ignoring the educational and health needs of America's children,” Pelosi, D-Calif., said in an interview aired Sunday.
A budget rule, known as the pay-as-you-go rule, that was approved by the Democratic-run House on Friday requires that tax cuts have corresponding cuts in government spending or tax increases elsewhere to pay for them.

“What we're saying is Democrats propose tax cuts for middle-income families. And we want to have 'pay-go,' no new deficit spending. We're not going to start with repealing tax cuts, but they certainly are not off the table for people making over half a million dollars a year,” Pelosi said.

The Senate's top Republican said most GOP senators oppose this budget rule because “it almost guarantees that the majority, if it enacts it, will try to raise taxes.”

It's a forgone conclusion that Democrats will raise taxes...they're Democrats for heaven's sake. Here's the twisted reasoning they'll use: it's for the children, we'll balance the budget, rich people are evil and don't need all that money, working Americans deserve more from the rich. These are typical tried-and-true liberal rationalizations that dumb Americans are happy to fall for every time.

Questions for SanFranNan: Sure you're going to raise taxes on the richest Americans to use in vote-buying schemes for the lower classes...I get that, after all you're a Democrat. But when was the last time a poor American created a job? When was the last time a poor American contributed anything to the strength of the economy? Poor people consume resources provided to them by the money you seize from productive Americans. You don't really want to make productive, tax-paying achievers out of the lower classes. You want to give them just enough of other people's money to keep them happy, lazy, unmotivated, and dependent on you.

You(liberals) would be happy to have an America comprised of exactly three classes of people:
1- a vast nationwide underclass of loyal Democrat voters who are utterly dependent on you for their wellbeing, and unmotivated to improve their own lives...kind of like the residents of New Orleans.
2- a rich, productive, achieving class from whom you can extract vast sums of money in the form of taxes which you will use to pay for the goody bags with which you spoil your voting base(Group #1).
3- an elitist class of progressive, enlightened "leaders" like yourself who have all the answers for society's problems and can dictate how the Neanderthal, working-class Americans live their lives and to whom the rules of the Constitution do not apply.

This is Nancy Pelosi's vision of America. It's also Hillary's vision of America. If you vote Democrat in '08, expect the picture above of a Socialist America to start taking shape.

Shut up and act!

Though I couldn't be less interested in suffering through another "Rocky" movie, I was sort of glad to see Stallone land on his feet after all these years....that is, until I read this...

MEXICO CITY (AP) - Sylvester Stallone defended boxing, praised the hard work of Mexicans and dished out some jabs against U.S. plans to build a wall on its southern border, as the 60-year-old actor visited Mexico City to promote his sixth "Rocky" film.

In "Rocky Balboa," an MGM Pictures release, the aging scrapper is running a restaurant when a computer-simulated bout inspires him to put the gloves back on. In one scene, his character defends his restaurant's immigrant cooks and waiters against slanderous comments.

"I support Mexicans who work in my country," he said, adding that the United States depends on the hard work of Latinos to keep running.
In comments to Mexican media later, Stallone criticized plans to build 700 miles of fence along the border as an immigration-control measure.
Such a fence was "crazy" and "ridiculous," he said, arguing that nations should be able to interact without being divided by walls.

So the cowardly Stallone goes to Mexico to criticize his country. I'll bet he wouldn't say that stuff here for fear it might cost him some ticket sales. I just lost what little respect I had for Sly.
