Obama Drops Charges On Terrorist

Posted by Boomer911 on Friday, February 06, 2009 12:35:38 PM
In what has to be one of the most infuriating stories thus far into the infancy of the Obama presidency, this one tops them all. According to the AP, the last active war crimes case against suspected al-Qaida bomber Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri ended when all of the charges were dropped in order to comply with Obama's executive order that all trials at Guantanamo be stopped. Al-Nashiri was a suspect in the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole that killed 17 U.S. Sailors and will remain in prison apparently awaiting whether or not the United States will charge him again with any further crimes.
 
This is a slap in the face to all those who serve, especially the 17 who gave their all on that fateful day in 2000. The implications of such a move by Obama will reach far beyond our shores and only embolden our enemies. He catered to the far left of the democrat party and now a terrorist sits awaiting his outcome. Will we nail this piece of human garbage if the evidence is available or will we let him walk? President Obama, this is in your hands.

WMD Yellowcake Silence To Loud To Ignore

Posted by Boomer911 on Saturday, July 12, 2008 2:06:08 AM
The mainstream media's recent omission of the 550 metric tons of yellowcake uranium found in Iraq might be one of the most troubling situations concerning power and politics this country has ever known. In a nation where we all seem to be wrapped up in our Ipods,cell phones, computers, and iced lattes, there is not a huge out-pouring of thanks for the men and women who proudly serve our nation so we can have such luxuries. Most Americans could care less about politics and for maybe two months every four years, the apathetic tune in to the news to get an idea of the issues facing this nation and the candidates who have bravely decided to take them on. The question is how can they be truly informed when the media is so blatantly liberal and biased?  Does anyone know we are winning the war on terror? I keep waiting for the opinion polls on the war to turn around but I am not going to hold my breath on this one. The truth is, I don't think Americans know how well things are going and how close we are to winning and ending this theater of war because of the medias reluctance to talk about anything positive concerning the war. Surely if the New York Times believed that 44 consecutive days of the Abu Ghraib non-story deserved front page exposure then surely the discovery of yellowcake uranium in Iraq should at least make it once? Don't hold your breath on that one either. How is it every horrible mis-deed and tragedy seems to be just fine to report, but all of the reaffirming good news never seems to see the light of day? Survey says.........Agenda!
 
As I have mentioned in previous posts, we are winning the war on terror. It is far from over but we need to see this thing all the way through until the threat is completely eliminated. The lefts plan of pulling out all troops would absolutely be a disaster for a million reasons and the generals on the ground have said as much. Obama is in a tough position with his trip to Iraq coming up. Will he abandon his base and change his tune about the surge and what a success it has been? And will that in turn leave the door open to changing his mind about the way we proceed from here on out?
 
It will be interesting to say the least but for the time being, we have some more good news to celebrate despite what the mainstream media thinks. As I mentioned earlier, we did find 550 metric tons of yellowcake uranium in Iraq which after being enriched would have been able to yield hundreds of nuclear weapons. Looks like Saddam had weapons of mass destruction afterall or at the very least was close to having them. But I wouldn't hold my breath on the mainstream media reporting it.
 
 
God bless the men and women fighting for the United States of America.

Iraq- More Great News

Posted by Boomer911 on Saturday, July 05, 2008 12:50:28 PM
The situation in Iraq and the overall global war on terror is going rather well as of late, prompting Barack Obama to now say he is "refining" his thoughts about Iraq. If Obama is now reconsidering his views on Iraq shouldn't that be making his hard left base re-think their positions as well? I wouldn't count on it. I thought I would copy and paste an article here concerning the news out of Iraq. Again, it is good news and definitely needs to be talked about on all levels of social interaction. Its from an unlikely source and needs to be shown and forwarded to everyone. We are winning this war and we are defeating the terrorists. Our continued efforts in the war are critical to making sure we not only win, but destroy completely our enemies. Enjoy!
 
 

"Optimism Grows in Iraq as Daily Life Improves"

That headline appears not in NR nor on Fox News, but in the leftish German newsweekly Spiegel. It opens:

There is an unexpected air of normalcy prevailing in Baghdad these days, with consumption flourishing and confidence in the government growing. The progress is astonishing, but can it last?

Pork is available in Baghdad once again. Not just in the Green Zone, where US diplomats can enjoy their spare ribs and Parma ham, but also across the Tigris River, in the real Baghdad, at "Al-Warda" on Karada Street. Bassim Dencha, 32, one of the few Christians remaining in Iraq and the co-owner of Baghdad's finest supermarket, has developed a supply line from Syria. As a result, he now has frozen pork chops and bratwurst arranged in his freezers, next to boxes of frozen French fries and German Black Forest Cakes. And the customers are buying.

For four years, selling pork or alcohol in Baghdad was a security risk. But the acts of terror committed by Islamist fundamentalists, who once punished such violations of their interpretation of the Koran with attacks on businesses and their owners, have gradually subsided. The supply of imported goods is also relatively secure today, now that roads through the Sunni Triangle are significantly safer than they were only a few months ago.
"It's worth it again," says businessman Bassim Dencha. "All we need now is enough electricity to reopen our refrigerated warehouse."

Two kilometers down the street, business is booming late into the night at Ali Lami's roadside snack bar. Before the war the establishment, a Baghdad institution, was a favorite hangout for former dictator Saddam Hussein's henchmen and United Nations weapons inspectors alike. Today professors and students from the university, which is once again open every day, come here to eat shawarma, an Arab fast-food dish consisting of shaved meat and salad served in pita bread.
This fall the manager, Rassak Rashid, 44, plans to open an outdoor seating area in a grove of palm trees behind the snack bar. The lanterns are already hanging in the trees. "Maybe then the police will stop telling our customers to get off the street," says Rashid.

He isn't referring to parking violations, but to the fear of bombs that could be hidden in cars parked along the curb. The police patrolling the streets in front of places like Ali Lami's snack bar aren't entirely convinced that this fragile sense of normalcy will last. While there are certainly signs of improvement, the dangers of life in Baghdad haven't disappeared.

Political Musings......

Posted by Boomer911 on Tuesday, June 17, 2008 11:50:21 AM
As usual, I feel it important to pass along good information. Here are some great articles and links to cover some interesting topics including the war on terror and the democrats (socialists). I have also included some great quotes as well. Enjoy!
 
“Congress is spending us into a hole. We hear about the cost of earmarks and the Iraq war. But what about ‘entitlements’? That’s the government’s ironic term for programs that transfer money from people who earned it to people who didn’t. Entitlement? How can you be entitled to someone else’s money? To finance ‘entitlement’ programs, the government threatens force against the taxpayers who provide the money. Why are people who favor compulsion called humanitarians, while those who favor freedom are stigmatized as greedy?... What we really need is a top-to-bottom freeing of the economy, including the health-care industry, and massive cuts in government both spending and taxes. This would leave us wealthy enough to take care of ourselves, with private charity assisting those who can’t manage.” —John Stossel
 
On being CONSERVATIVE...read this!
 
   “I would define a conservative, first as one who believes in the Constitution as it is written. That takes care of free speech, freedom of religion, the right to petition the government, the right to keep and bear arms and, in the words of William O. Douglas in one of his saner moments, ‘the right to be let alone. Second, a conservative believes in small, limited government at every level. Along with this he believes strongly in individual responsibility. That is, a person or a family should take care of itself and turn for help to government only when all other means have been exhausted. It also means that society, before government, has a duty to take care of its own. Government should be a resource of last resort. Third, a conservative believes taxes should be levied for the purpose of financing the limited responsibilities of government such as providing for the common defense, catching and incarcerating criminals, minting money and filling potholes. Taxes should not be levied for the purpose of redistributing wealth... One other thing I think a conservative believes is that the parents, not government, are and should be responsible for the upbringing and behavior of their children.” —Lyn Nofziger
 
Here is an article that is so important, it should be passed on to everyone. The information that is put forth by the democrats (socialists) is one of half truths and outright lies. This article should be read by everyone who wishes to have an open and honest debate concerning the war Iraq and its justifications. It can be found at http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-kirchick16-2008jun16,0,4808346.story 
 
John Yoo has written one of the best commentaries on the recent Supreme Court decision to allow the "detainees" (prisoners of war) the right to the civilian courts to protest their incarceration. A right, by the way, that our own military does not have. The article is called The Supreme Court Goes To War and it is a must read. It can be found at: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121366596327979497.html?mod=opinion_main_commentaries
 
In one of the more honest approaches to the war in Iraq, The Economist tells how Iraq is becoming more stable. Just this morning I was reading about countries investing in Iraq because public opinion has turned and the situation is improving. For those of you who don't know, we are winning the war on terror. The article is again a must read and can be found at http://www.economist.com/opinion/displayStory.cfm?Story_ID=11535688
