Semper Gratus!

You suck worse than anything that has sucked before!

Screw you and the ugly horse you rode in on!

How dare you defame and disrespect our military with such blatant lies and naked hate?

I’m watching Gen. Petraeus and the witch hunt on C-Span3 right now and the demonuts on the committee are acting in the most egregious manner possible.

What a bunch of F***ing Traitors!!!!!! I wish the General could whip out his security team and instruct them to take out the whole lot!

Rep. Lantos (D-CA) “General this isn’t meant to besmirch you, but … you suck! You just do what the President says and we all know how stoopid he is. Maliki sucks, the war sucks, all is lost!”

Old fart, YOU need to retire and go spend your time at the beach! The American people believe in Petraeus and in our Military and in the MISSION! So, STFU!!! doofus
—————————–
HOORAY! Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) comes to the rescue!!!!! Says the DimBulbs have been attacking the General’s credibility and the treasonous ad by MoveOn.Al calling Petraeus a traitor. Says the dems are idiots and outrageous.

Unbelievable! Hunter is even sticking up for L. Paul Bremmer and letting the Iraqi Army disolve itself back in ‘03. ‘Bout time somebody told why that was so important. Says the Army would have been a disaster if we left 11,000 Suni generals in place.
———————————–
1:30pm EST- brief interlude while the mics are fixed. probably due to MoveOn.Al virus.
————————————-

Now General Petraeus is speaking. “Tribal rejection of al-Quida in Anbar is spreading to other areas. We can begin troup drawdowns if this trend continues.”

“The surge is working and we have more than just ‘gut feelings’ to prove it” They are using statistical methodology that has been approved by 2 U.S. intelligence agencies and the data is gathered from not just U.S. Military, but Iraqi sources as well. Living and working within the Iraqi communities has made a huge difference. Ethnocentric violence has declined precipitously. Locals are increasingly participating with the coalition in turning in al-Quida and taking the initiative to locate and report weapons caches.

Locals are increasingly volunteering for the police and Army. Salah al Din and Ninewah provinces have been tough, but are showing declines in violence recently.

————————————————
1:44pm EST - Another MoveOn.Al/CodePink demonstration in the chamber…
————————————————
Gen. Petraeus “The most significant thing to happen is the participation by local citizens and tribal leaders in Al Anbar to partner with the coalition and rejection of the extremists. “ Take that Schmucky Schumer!

Gen P “Don’t rush to failure!” - he looked at the commitee when he said cyberspace is increasingly being used by the bad guys as a way to wage war on us. Take THAT MoveOn.Al!

Political stability can only come with security stability. Iraq wants to be our friend. Gen. P is recommending the redeployment of MEFII at the end of the month! As well as more drawdowns in the next few months.

Smart man! He’s thanking Congress for funding a bunch of stuff for the military!
————————————————–
2:00pm EST - Another CodePink interruption. Beotches!

I see Gael Murphy in the audience. These witches will continue to cause disruption, but Rep./Chairman Skelton (D-MO) just blusters and won’t eject all the whores.
————————————————–
Now Ryan Crocker, U.S. Ambassador to Iraq speaking. (too bad he’s got a lisp and a rather high voice…)
I’m sorry, this guy is so boring I can’t pay attention.

————————————————–
Now the fun part starts. Chairman Skelton starts off by reminding us that while our sons and daughters are sweating and sacrificing, the Iraqi parliament is sitting on its collective thumbs and not doing enough on reconciliation. “Why should we (the elite in the US Congress) believe the next 6 months will be any different?”

BBWWWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! What the HELL have you accomplished in the last 6 months, Congressman? *asshole*

Old fart Lantos is up again. Asks Petraeus why his “token withdrawl” should be accepted when there are military critics out there that want all the troops to come home now?

Petraeus responding that his proposal is a substantial withdrawl, not a token. Don’t “rush to failure”, you old fart! What the hell are you talking about, anyway?

Lantos, “respectable media favors more substantial withdrawl” (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!)

Petraeus “I have given you my best advice and information, I don’t know where you are getting your information, Congressman” Basically telling him (Lantos) he’s an idiot!

Lantos then asks Amb. Crocker why that Cowboy Bush won’t surrender to the Iranians? Then brings up the widely misreported statement by Maliki that he can “find other friends” if the US leaves.

Crocker says that Maliki said today that Iraq needs the coalition to stay.

Now Rep Spratt (D-SC) is complaining about $$. Says that “everything hinges on National Reconciliation”. (since when? This is just the latest Democrat benchmark!)
—————————————

Rep. Saxton (R-NJ) is interrupted by CodePink whores after he held up a copy of the NYSlimes with the MoveOn.Al anti-Petraeus ad.
—————————————
I had to go back to work. Sometimes it sucks being a conservative who believes in making her own living and not being a blood-sucking leftard mooching off the government and sitting all day in a hearing chamber making a fool of oneself. Eh, Gael?

I don’t mean our brave troops who have given all for our Nation, but the number of islamofacist scumbags who we’ve sent to Allah.

The little graphic shows the number of confirmed kills since al-Zarqawi assumed room temperature June 7, 2006. I garnered these numbers from official news releases from Iraq and Afghanistan, with some reports coming from other sources such as AP and Reuters. They DO NOT represent the actual number of nutjobs who have “vanished in a hail of lead and shrapnel.” Unfortunately, the reports of terrorist deaths are almost non-existent on purpose.

There is a very good article that is part of the Citizens Report on Iraq produced by members of FreeRepublic.com in which Prof. Larry Schweikart explains the lack of reportage and also extrapolates from various sources that the real number is somewhere above 150,000 since the beginning of the war. See the .pdf file and look for his article starting on page 56.

What is different today is that more and more numbers are actually being reported since the “surge” strategy started. There was a real drought since the beginning of the year, but the numbers are rising rapidly now. OORAH!

If you’d like to see where the reports are, look here.

This is one of the awesome banners from out front of Walter Reed that FReepers set up on Friday nights.

From FOXNews comes a delightfully nauseating new poll in which 22% of all respondents said they would like to see the new Bush “surge” strategy fail. (See question #19 in the .pdf file at the link above.)

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!?!

Do these idiots in the 22% think that we’re playing some kinda ball game? Do they not understand that REAL LIVES are on the line if we lose? Are they counting on using a ‘Mulligan’ when Hillary ‘Rotten’/Osama Obama take over the White House in 2 years? THERE ARE NO DAMN ‘DO OVERS’!!!!!

34% of Democrat respondents want the strategy to fail, but that’s not a surprising number for the Hate America First party. All of them need a good old fashioned ass whooping!

Also check out question #30 in which an astounding 50% of Democrats thought that losing the war in Iraq will have no effect on future terrorist attacks in the U.S., and fully 11% of these socialist nutjobs thought the terrorists would be more likely to just leave us alone!

Dream On! You !@#$%^&* panty-waisted fruitcakes!

President GW said that too many restrictions have been put on our Troops in their persuit of the terrorists in Iraq. He said, in effect, that the gloves are going to come off and we’re not going to be denied entry to any place in Iraq. Like Sadr City! Say good night, you fat terrorist f**k.

I was disappointed in the low number of troops being added to Al Anbar (4000?!?!), but I’m looking forward to seeing more of this plan. I get the feeling we’re not going to be playing patty-cake any more.

OORAH!

…One Iranian news agency with a correspondent in Irbil says five US helicopters were used to land troops on the roof of the Iranian consulate.

It reports that a number of vehicles cordoned off the streets around the building, while US soldiers warned the occupants in three different languages that they should surrender or be killed.

In December, US troops detained a number of Iranians in Iraq, including two with diplomatic immunity who were later released.

Thursday’s raid came as US President George W Bush unveiled his new strategy in Iraq, which included increasing troop numbers and a commitment to stop Iranian support for “our enemies in Iraq”.

From the Washington Times, Friday Dec. 29th Inside the Beltway by John McCaslin, comes this wonderful episode of patriotism and come-uppance from fearless FReeper Kristinn:

Only in Washington

Kristinn Taylor, president of the local Free Republic chapter, was walking through the concourse of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday afternoon when he spotted one of Saddam Hussein’s attorneys, Ramsey Clark, who was attorney general under President Lyndon B. Johnson.

“As we walked by each other in the uncrowded terminal, I made a slashing motion across my neck and said to him, ‘It’s too bad about Saddam,’ ” in reference to the deposed Iraqi tyrant’s failed judicial appeal to avert his death sentence.

At that point, he said, Mr. Clark “glanced back at me with a hangdog look and nodded his head in sad agreement.”

Mr. Clark last year explained in an op-ed essay in the Los Angeles Times why he was willing to defend Hussein. He acknowledged that a majority of the media were dismissive of him. “‘There goes Ramsey Clark again,’ they seemed to say. ‘Isn’t it a shame? He used to be attorney general of the United States and now look at what he’s doing.’”

He’s not deterred. “The United States, and the Bush administration in particular, engineered the demonization of Hussein, and it has a clear political interest in his conviction,” he wrote. “Obviously, a fair trial of Hussein will be difficult to ensure — and critically important to the future of democracy in Iraq. This trial will write history, affect the course of violence around the world and have an impact on hopes for reconciliation within Iraq.” Meanwhile, in Baghdad, the hangman is testing his noose.

What the article didn’t pick up was the other offering of condolence Kristinn proffered:

“I told him, ‘I hoped Saddam goes to hell–and you too for that matter.‘ As much as I wanted to tell him off full blast, the concourse was not the right place to do that.”

What fun!!! And Saddam was offed just Friday evening!!

How do the troops in Iraq feel about F’ing Kerry’s recent slander?

H/T Mark Glesne in Halp Us Jon Carry! (Glesne is a SUPER SMART Marine who could undoubtedly turn the Senator into a sniveling pile of goo in minutes [I just wish I could figure out how to leave a comment on beta-Blogger sites... I never claimed to be smart]).

What others are saying:
A superlative rant by the master - Chuck says what we’re all thinking but much better than we could in Good ‘Ol Pussnuts.

Cpl M from Noble Duty Milblogger Coalition and No End But Victory chimes in with My Education Has Me Stuck in Iraq.

Also from Noble Duty, Patriot gives us the report from Hell in Breaking News - Kerry Apologizes and CJ has the “Stuck in Irak” T-Shirt for sale!

Blackfive has, like, a zillion posts. Start with John Forbes Kerry - Still an Asshat and work forward.

Diggs, from 4-Mile Creek has the perfect 2-word come back in My Response to Senator Kerry’s Response.

If Michael J. Fox can say that Republicans want him to die from Parkinson’s, then I can say that he wants all of us to die at the hands of Islamofacist terrorists.

“Senator Talent opposes expanding stem cell research. He even wanted to criminalize research…–From Fox’s political ad in MO.

Gee, if Fox says it, it must be true! Even if he didn’t read the bill he was campaigning against.

Obviously, he wants all conservatives to be beheaded by al-Zarqawi wanna bees. So there!

“We are NOT violently evil … and we’ll KILL anyone who says we are!”

So much for the Religion of Peace. From Jihad Watch:

A notorious Muslim extremist told a demonstration in London yesterday that the Pope should face execution. Anjem Choudary said those who insulted Islam would be “subject to capital punishment”.

Jeesh! How many times have we heard that kind of talk from the Pope? I mean, people were predicting that Benedict XVI would be another Hitler, right? And he’s been spouting hate ever since he was elevated to Pontiff and … er, he - well… come to think of it, he seems like a pretty nice guy and rather mild and humble.

Citing the words of the Prophet Muhammad, Muslim religious leaders in the Gaza Strip on Sunday warned Pope Benedict XVI that he must “accept” Islam if he wanted to live in peace.

How quaint! What a lovely way to persuade someone to your way of thinking. “Submit or die!” Sounds like a Dem talking point…

I’d much rather count on another group of individuals who have an equally pointed motto but one with a real choice to those to which it is addressed: “Make Peace or Die” - 1st Battalion, 5th Marines. Check it out. I just ordered the DVD so I can’t provide a review yet. Instead, I’ll offer one of my favorite videos.

It’s a sweet tale of love and devotion, with a slightly hard edge.
(If you’re at work, turn the volume down -or- put on headphones and turn the volume up!)

It occured to me that the nutbag Islamofacists –who are capable of doing some really crazy shit– might be using the visits of former and current Iranian presidents Katami and Ahmadushybag to commemorate 9/11 with something just as nasty. It’s not normal, if in fact it ever happens, that the leaders-in-hate actually martyr themselves for the cause. But what if they did?

We know that they know how to manipulate the MSM to do their bidding, carry their water, drink the coolaid, and swallow any lie presented to them. They could easily be used to whip up worldwide rioting and killing if one of these Iranian asshats should assume room temperature while on U.S. soil.

Not that I would mourn the loss of either one of them or that I’m advocating that they be sent to Allah while they’re so close at hand…

I just worry that we’re being set up. Big time.

This is sick. If anyone doubts WHY we must destroy these beasts, read on…

Coalition condemns torture and mutilation of Afghan soldiers

BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan – Two soldiers from the 203nd Corps, Afghan National Army, were kidnapped by Taliban extremists and then brutally tortured to death with their bodies mutilated.

The U.S.-led Coalition strongly condemns the act as a heinous crime.

An officer and sergeant were apparently kidnapped in the Qara Bagh District of Ghazni Province on Aug. 28. Using the officer’s cell phone, the assailants contacted a member of the 203nd Corps command and then tortured the two men until they were dead while their fellow comrade listened.

“This was not an act of armed conflict, but an inexcusable crime by amoral men against fellow Afghans,” Lt. Col. Paul Fitzpatrick, Combined Joint Task Force-76 spokesman said. “These Taliban extremists claim to be fighters in a war of their creation, but warriors, men of honor, do not torture, maim and desecrate their enemies. These are the acts of men without conscience — men without souls. They are indignant criminals who take inhuman pleasure in the destruction of human life.”

The soldiers’ bodies were discovered the next day in the Crirgia Ghala Valley and were recovered by fellow ANA soldiers. Their bodies will be returned to their families for internment.

Last Fall, there was an enormous furor over the burning of dead Taliban combatants which resulted in a 5-part investigation by the Pentagon and “sensitivity training” to make sure that we kill and dispose of the enemy in a culturally sensitive way. (see the .pdf here).

That uproar was all about burning bodies that were already dead! For sanitation reasons! Sure, some overeager psyops guys decided the incident provided a serendipitous opportunity to quickly kill more combatants before they scurried back into their hilly caves. Bait the other asshats out of hiding so they, too, could discover the joys of meeting Allah. What’s not to like?

WE DIDN’T TORTURE ANYONE!!!!

Stoopid hippies! They’re holding signs that demand contradictory actions. On the left are signs calling for “cut-and-run” while on the right is a sign calling for “No Redeployment”.

Hmmmmm, “bring them home” but “don’t allow them to leave the war zone”. Stoopid. “Bring them home so we can beat them up” is more like it.

Speaking of stoopid, y’all should check out Mark Glesne’s “moonbat mascot” here and here. The mascot is stoopid!!! NOT Mark (super-smart Marine!)

Federal Judge Anna bin-Biggs al-Taylor.

A federal judge in Detroit yesterday ruled that President Bush’s domestic terrorist surveillance program is unconstitutional, agreeing with a challenge from the American Civil Liberties Union and a group of lawyers, academics and journalists.

… ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero told reporters that the opinion was “another nail in the coffin in the Bush administration’s legal strategy in the war on terror.”

So, what else is new?

What would Gunny say?

after impaling them, of course.

Come and listen to a story ’bout a man named Jack
A fat EX-Marine who tried to give the Corps a whack
And then one day he was slandering the Troops
When up popped a voice that said “Man, you’re gettin’ sued”

Court, that is
Libel time
Civil Suit

Now, old Jack got scared that his bluff was being called
He wandered ’round The Hill asking “Hey, you seen my balls?”
Then he got a bright idea to divert the vulture press
And he boarded the next flight to the Cuban fortress

Gitmo, that is
terrorists
bad guys

Well the next thing you know old Jackie’s in the air
His handlers said “Jack, get your ass down there!”
“And find some guards who are peein’ on Korans”
“Then come on back up here and blame the ‘Publicans”

Nazis, that is
Pol Pot
Gulags



When Jack touched down on lovely Gitmo Bay
He rolled out the plane sayin’ “Man, this place is gay!”
Reverend Phelps asked “Jack, are you into S&M?”
“Forget about the jail, drop your pants and come on in!”

Chains, that is
leather thongs
gay bars

Soon the news got out that the Congressman was lost
The guards began a search fearin’ Jackie had got sauced
They found him on the beach wearin’ nothing but a grin
So they hauled him off to jail, took his drink and booked him in

jumpsuits, that is
chain link fences
Club Med

Now the moral of this story is Do Not Trust Jack
A fat EX-Marine who thinks the Code is just some smack
He wants all your dough so he can tell you what to do
When he opens his big mouth, what comes out is giant poo

Turds, that is
stinky stuff
log style

Ya’ll come back now, y’hear!

UPDATE: Dead Terrorist counter now has a page with a dump from the database! Hit “more” at the bottom of the post.

It still keeps track of all the terrorist asshats that have assumed room temperature since al-Zarqawi was turned into a true splodytard (June 7, 2006). Here is General Caldwell’s Dog and Pony show about the joyous event.

<?php include_once(’t_kills.php’); ?>

The numbers are extracted from a MySQL database which I update with any news/release info found on the various DoD web sites. I know darned well there are more “kills” than are reported to the public but this is what I can find by searching various DoD sites.

CAMP HABBANIYAH, Iraq - Lt. Col. Patrick Looney, battalion commander for 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, holds the last round chambered in a Marine M-40A1 sniper rifle, which spent two years in enemy hands. A 21-year-old sniper from Sniper Section Four killed the insurgent June 16. The Darkhorse battalion plans to mount the round on a plaque to present to snipers of 2nd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment Magnificent Bastards, who lost four Marines and the rifle in Ramadi in June 2004.

CAMP HABBANIYAH, Iraq (June 20, 2006) — Scout snipers from 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment killed an enemy sniper and recovered a Marine sniper rifle lost nearly two years ago during a mission near Habbaniyah June 16.

The rifle was the one formerly used by four Marines of 2nd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment who were killed on a rooftop in Ramadi June 21, 2004.

Sniper Section Four was in a hide when the spotter observed a military-aged male inside a nearby parked car videotaping a passing patrol of amphibious assault vehicles. The Marines saw a rifle stock by the insurgent”s side.

“We were in the right place at the right time,” said Sgt. Kevin Homestead an infantryman from K Company serving as a spotter for the sniper team that day.

They first radioed the passing Marines and told them they were being watched by an enemy sniper and to stay low. The insurgent then sealed his own fate by preparing the weapon. The 21-year-old Marine sniper, who declined to be interviewed - aimed in at the gunman”s head behind the rear-side window.

He recited a mantra in his head. Breathe, relax, aim, squeeze, surprise.

The enemy sniper died with the gun in his lap.

They dialed K Company - or Samurai 6 - and reported the target was dead.

“We then saw another military-aged male … enter the passenger side door,” said Homestead, 26, from Ontario, Ore. “He was surprised to see the other shooter was killed.”

The second insurgent scurried around the car and jumped in the driver’s seat.With the sniper now spotting for him, Homestead aimed in with his M-4 carbine and put three bullets in the driver before he could start the car.

A squad of K Company Marines came to the position and saw the sniper dead and the driver shot three times. The driver died as soon as the squad arrived on scene.

They pulled out the sniper rifle and immediately recognized that it was an M-40A1, the same used by the snipers of 2nd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment in 2004.

The trunk of the car contained a pistol, a hand grenade, dozens of 7.62 mm rounds, multiple license plates and several camcorder tapes. “When we saw the scope and stock, we knew what it was,” Homestead said.

The rifle was missing for nearly two years - almost to the day. Marines believed the insurgent they killed, or those closely associated with him, had it all along. It is unknown how many times it was used against U.S. and Iraqi forces.

“He was a very good sniper,” Homestead said. “But he got cocky and slipped up and it was our time to catch that.”

The weapon came full circle, having originally belonged to the Darkhorse battalion in Operation Iraqi Freedom I, who turned it over to the “Magnificent Bastards” of 2nd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment. Coincidentally, a Darkhorse sniper killed the insurgent sniper, and a former Magnificent Bastard killed the spotter.

Darkhorse battalion had been dealing with sporadic sniper attacks since arriving in Iraq in January. Now, Marines have one less sniper to worry about.

“It’s very rewarding to take them out the way we did,” said Lt. Col. Patrick G. Looney, the battalion commander. “Doubly rewarding that it”s a 2/4 sniper rifle, even though it won”t bring back the four Marines who were killed that day.”

Triple rewarding that it won’t be used on another Marine or soldier, he added. “The credit has to go to Sgt. Homestead and the Sniper Section leader who made the kill,” said 1st Lt. J. H. Cusack, Sniper Platoon commander. “It was more than being in the right place at the right time.

“It was the culmination of all of the training and planning the section leader had done up until that moment,” Cusak added. “Being absolutely alert and focused to detect a small clue during a period of apparent inactivity and a perfectly executed shot.”

Darkhorse snipers have since removed the powder and primer from the last 7.62 mm round chambered in the recaptured rifle. They will mount it on a plaque and present it to the Magnificent Bastards” snipers to honor their lost Marines.

Looney said the ability to give some retribution for their loss makes the day a “grand-slam home run for sniper ops.” He credited the snipers’ professionalism and attitude in accomplishing the mission throughout their area of operations.

“I would say that the guys who shot are typical of the Darkhorse snipers,” said Looney, 43, from Oceanside, Calif. “They’re very proficient, very modest, very busy. They’re out there almost daily doing great things in this AO and our old AO. The fact that they’re taking a back seat and letting the battalion reap the benefits is typical of the kind of Marines they are.”

Godspeed PFC Kristian Menchaca and PFC Thomas Lowell Tucker. Keep an eye on your buddies as they continue the mission to rid the world of its terrorist pestilence. You will not be forgotten.

The animals that killed you while blaspheming the name of their god need to be dead!

The maniacal maggots who are celebrating your murders need to be dead!

The mullahs and clerics extolling their flocks to perform more of this insanity need to be dead!

Violently - painfully - DEAD!
