This article is really good: It is a must read.

The part that I feel is the most important is bolded.
Check this out

Via embedded milblogger Michael Yon, who is in the middle of the most intense combat operation of the war effort in Iraq to date: Operation Arrowhead Ripper: Day 1

The first day of operation Arrowhead Ripper was intense. The Army is giving full access to the battlefield, and while on base full access to the TOC (HQ) which means I see the raw truth on the ground, and as it feeds through the TOC. They are hiding nothing. Or if they are, it’s in plain view. (Special operations notwithstanding.) A reporter can see as much as he or she can stand.

Civilian casualties are occurring, despite much discretion being used on the firing. I saw three MLRS rockets hit targets downtown today (June 20) and more were fired. Watched the video feed from the TOC as some of them hit. The targeting was perfect. Our guys had cleared out the civilians, but the enemy starts shootouts using civilians as cover. American officers are trying to account for civilian casualties; media is asking and command is still unable to answer, which of course looks like a cover-up. From what I see on the ground, there is no cover-up. The number is unknown but certainly there must be some.

Michael Gordon is a NYT reporter who is in the battle. Gordon will be an important resource. The commanders take a break from fighting each day to have meetings with each other, and Iraqi officers, and he comes off the battlefield with one of the commanders to the briefings. I saw Gordon today, his shirt stained white from sweat. Gordon and I were at a commander briefing when one of the battalion commanders, LTC Smiley, talked about how his soldiers shot some terrorists today (June 20); on different occasions today, women and children came out and “gave aid” to the wounded terrorists. My guess is that the number of civilian casualties is not high. Gordon has been running with other soldiers, so it will be important to hear his accounts. From what I’ve read so far, Gordon has been very accurate and on target.

By the end of the first day (June 19), about 30 enemy had been killed, 1 U.S. killed and 5 WIA. At least two soldiers were heat casualties, including one who was with my group.

The combat has only just begun, and media has now figured out this is serious business. During the morning brief (June 20th), Major Robbie Parke mentioned that CNN, TIME, Reuters and some others, are trying to get out here now. Problem is space. Looks like Gordon and I are mostly alone for now. Others are said to be in Baqubah, but if they are here, they are missing some of the most important parts, and if they were at the important commander’s meetings, I would have seen them.

The heat is intense for the enemy and for us. Soldiers, during any chance, would lay-down during the heat of day, and in complete body armor and helmets, fall asleep in the dirt. I took photos of course. Our guys are tough. The enemy in Baqubah is as good as any in Iraq, and better than most. That’s saying a lot. But our guys have been systematically trapping them, and have foiled some big traps set for our guys. I don’t want to say much more about that, but our guys are seriously outsmarting them. Big fights are ahead and we will take serious losses probably, but al Qaeda, unless they find a way to escape, are about to be slaughtered. Nobody is dropping leaflets asking them to surrender. Our guys want to kill them, and that’s the plan.

A positive indicator on the 19th and the 20th is that most local people apparently are happy that al Qaeda is being trapped and killed. Civilians are pointing out IEDs and enemy fighters, so that’s not working so well for al Qaeda. Clearly, I cannot do a census, but that says something about the locals.

Much going on here in Baqubah. Unfortunately I have no assistant with me, and so no time for photos or video.

More soon.

Read it all and pass it on to all your friends, including the leftists. Do NOT allow the Left to lie about this operation and paint it as a failure and spin it incorrectly (I already have read some blogs from Leftists here on MySpace who are doing just that, including one who says she is a big supporter of the troops… uh huh). Get the FACTS out there about our success and progress. Direct them to Michael Yon’s website to keep up with the updates. And please donate anything you can to Mr. Yon so that he may continue his excellent dispatches from the battlefield and bring us the facts and perspective that the MSM, the Left and our politicians fail to do.

This one is a dandy. This guy stole his dead cousin identiy. While some say its not a serious crime to be in this country this guy faces four years in jail a 250,000.00 fine and then deportation. Cops don't fair well in jail.

Milwaukee Police Officer admits to being Illegal Immigrant

Authorities: Milwaukee Police Officer Admits Being Illegal Immigrant

Monday, June 18, 2007

E-MAIL STORY PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION

MILWAUKEE — A police officer has agreed to plead guilty to falsely claiming to be a U.S. citizen for taking his dead cousin’s identity as a teenager, according to the U.S. attorney’s office.

A plea agreement released last week says prosecutors will recommend a sentence of six to 12 months for Oscar Ayala-Cornejo, 24. The maximum sentence is three years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Ayala-Cornejo also agreed to be deported after his prison sentence and resign from the Milwaukee police department, Assistant U.S. Attorney Mel Johnson said. The officer, who authorities said was not involved in any major cases, had been taken off the department’s payroll earlier this month.

In February, a U.S. Department of Homeland Security agent received an anonymous call from someone reporting Ayala-Cornejo was an illegal immigrant but was using the identity of his dead cousin, the complaint says.

Investigators compared Ayala-Cornejo’s driver’s license to yearbook photos from two high schools he attended as two different identities, the complaint said. Relatives also admitted Ayala-Cornejo took the identity of Ayala-Cornejo’s cousin Jose Morales, who was born in Chicago about seven months before Ayala-Cornejo.

Ayala-Cornejo’s mother, Maria, told authorities her now-dead husband helped arrange the identity theft with relatives in Chicago, according to the complaint.

Jose Morales died of cancer, Morales’ brother, Jamie, told authorities. Jamie Morales said his father volunteered Jose’s identity when he died, the complaint said.

Ayala-Cornejo moved from Mexico to the U.S. around 1992, Johnson said.

He started using Morales’ identity in 1999 when he changed high schools in Milwaukee, according to the complaint.

Johnson said Ayala-Cornejo could have gone through the administrative process, but instead took the illegal method.

“That was just perceived as the easy way to do it but it turned out to be a bad decision,” Johnson said.

No sentencing date has been set.

Police say Ayala-Cornejo’s brother, Alexander Ayala, who is also a Milwaukee police officer but is a U.S. citizen, has been assigned to administrative duty.

Messages left at Ayala-Cornejo’s home and for his attorney, Michael Steinle, were not returned Monday.

Chief Deputy District Attorney Jon Reddin said Ayala-Cornejo was involved in 23 cases since he’s been on the force; of those the defendant pleaded guilty, the charges were dismissed or Ayala-Cornejo wasn’t a crucial witness, Reddin said.

“He doesn’t appear to be a terribly active officer,” Reddin said Monday. “We’re fortunate he wasn’t involved in any major cases.”

This one is good, this was on John Gibson’s radio show the other day I guess this woman is pro Barack Husein Obama. Of course there will be soem that blame the Hillary Clinton camp. Obama has been guarded in is response to the video. Lets just say this woman is hot.


Obama Girl

So who is Amber Lee Ettinger (aka Obamagirl)?

Amber is a model / actress out of NYC, born in Pennsylvania on Oct 2nd, 1982. She’s a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology, with a major in Fashion Design, specializing in Intimate Apparel. She’s been featured in a number of magazines, including Maxim & FHM. The list of companies she’s modeled for is rather impressive, along with the many competitions she’s been in. She’s also been in a number of television/film roles as well as music videos.

By my definition this is a win. I don’t care how that idiotic moron Harry Reid says or how he wants to classify this, when the Iraqis start turning in terrorists that means we are winning.

Lastly the surge is not failing, first off the surge isn’t finished with the deployment of troops to Iraq.

I found this on another political blog, this is some funny stuff. Remember Bush has never been a great communicator and will never be confused with the slickmiester Clinton and it does give normal people like you and me hope.

You can't make this kind of spin up. I surprised there isn't a blame Bush here or the evil republicans and the CIA are the reason there are riots in Venezuela. How about Hugo Chavez is a two bit thug that is trying to stifle free speech.

The Looney Left is at it again.

Tell Congress to Get the Facts Right About Venezuela

From the Venezuela Information Office:
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) released a statement today that criticized a recent decision by the Venezuelan government not to renew the broadcasting license of RCTV.

We strongly encourage you to email and call Speaker Pelosi to set the record straight. Please contact the following people:

Pelosi’s Chief of Staff/Policy Adviser:

Pelosi’s Media Staff:

Call Speaker Pelosi at 202-226-7616

When you call or email, feel free to use the following TALKING POINTS:

1. There is no “Suppression of Media in Venezuela,” nor was there a “closure” of RCTV. Instead its license to broadcast on the public airwaves was not renewed.

2. The non-renewal of the license prevents RCTV from broadcasting on open access channels, but the station will still be allowed to broadcast in Venezuela through the internet as well as cable and satellite TV. Neither does it affect the possibility of RCTV producing material for domestic or international TV programming. Moreover, RCTV may continue to broadcast using their two radio stations.

3. The non-renewal is due to RCTV’s failure to abide by legal norms established by the Venezuelan Constitution and the Law of Social Responsibility for Radio and Television. The law forbids public airwaves licensees from inciting political violence and civil unrest. RCTV’s violations involve conspiracy to bring down the elected government of Venezuela during the violent coup of April 2002 as well as the active promotion of an economic sabotage later that year, which cost the country more than US$10 billion in losses. RCTV also has a long list of sanctions imposed by previous governments for reasons ranging from pornography, violations of laws prohibiting publicity of smoking and alcohol drinking to transmissions of false information.

4. The non-renewal of RCTV’s broadcasting license is not an example of censorship, nor is it a strike against the private media in Venezuela. RCTV was part of a majority; 79 out of 81 TV stations and all 118 newspapers in the country are privately owned. Most are vehemently opposed to the democratically elected government of President Chavez. RCTV is unique only in its editorial excesses and its history of violating legal norms.

5. RCTV’s large share of the open-access airwaves was assigned, upon expiration, to a public broadcaster that is dedicated to presenting programming that features independent operators and producers.

It’s no mystery I think Rosie O is a disgusting vile waste of human flesh. Lets not insult our intelligence. I would be willing to bet they asked her to leave.

I think this one is funny, but true.

What is really sad is there are a thousands of dummies/people in our nation that think Rosie is a smart and credible person, there are also many crack pots like there that think 9/11 was orchestrated by the Bush Administration. Rosie is nothing more than a disgusting fat windbag. What is it a crime to be a republican in this country? That fact that this show is a top show in this country speaks volumes of the trouble this great republic is in.

I am going to go with Elizabeth here, she is right in this situation.

Ah you just got to love the left, and of course the socialist French. I think they should film his next movie from prision when they fine and charge him with a crime for going to Cuba. Maybe if Moore likes it so much in Cuba he should go live there. 

Healthy Praise for Moore’s Sicko
CANNES, France (AP)—“Sicko,” Michael Moore’s ferocious and funny attack on the U.S. health care system, got a warm welcome at the Cannes Film festival Saturday. At home, it has started a firestorm.

The movie doesn’t open until late June, but it has already been criticized by conservative politicians and sparked a U.S. government investigation that could land Moore a fine or jail time. (those evil conservatives)
“I know the storm awaits me back in the United States,” said Moore as he absorbed the enthusiastic response of critics and journalists after the film’s first Cannes screening. Moore held a private showing Tuesday in New York for a group of ailing Sept. 11 rescue workers featured in the film.

Moore’s previous films were praised and reviled in equal measure. Americans will likely be just as divided by “Sicko”—especially scenes in which Moore takes the sick 9/11 rescuers to Cuba for treatment.

The trip led the U.S. Treasury Department to investigate Moore for possibly breaking the U.S. trade and travel embargo on Cuba.

Some have said the investigation is giving the film valuable free publicity. Not Moore.

“I’m the one who’s personally being investigated, and I’m the one who’s personally liable for potential fines or jail, so I don’t take it as lightly,” he said.

On the advice of lawyers, the filmmakers spirited a master copy of “Sicko” outside the United States in case the government tries to seize it. As for whether the inquiry could prevent the film opening in the U.S. as planned on June 29, Moore said: “We haven’t even discussed that possibility.”

Moore is a Cannes favorite. His last film, the war-on-terror documentary “Fahrenheit 9/11” won the festival’s top prize, the Palme d’Or, in 2004. “Sicko” is screening out of competition—Moore joked that he didn’t want to appear like a “typical American” by greedily seeking another trophy.

Moore says he knows “Sicko” will have enemies, especially within the Bush administration and the health insurers he accuses of abandoning sick Americans.

Ironically, given its stormy reception, Moore says he wanted “Sicko” to be a quieter and more reflective movie than the rabble-rousing “Bowling For Columbine” or “Fahrenheit 9/11.”

There are no scenes of confrontation to match Moore’s pigeonholing of politicians in “Fahrenheit 9/11” to ask whether they would send their children to Iraq.

Instead, there are ordinary Americans telling heart-wrenching stories of being refused vital treatment. Moore also travels to Canada, Britain and France to take a look—possibly rose-tinted—at their systems of socialized medicine.

“I decided to make a different film this time,” Moore said. “I wanted a different tone and I wanted to say things in a different way.

“I got tired of all the yelling and screaming and not getting anywhere.”

The film’s emotional climax is a brilliant—and, some will say, brilliantly manipulative—sequence in which Moore and the New York rescue workers visit a Cuban hospital.

“The Cuba stuff is incendiary,” said Boston Globe critic Peter Brunette, who predicted a savage response from some quarters in the United States.

Moore says the criticism of the Cuba trip is misplaced. He said he intended to take the workers to Guantanamo Bay, the U.S. naval base on the island where terror suspects are held—and, the film claims, receive top-notch medical care.

“The point was not to go to Cuba but to go to America, to go to American soil ... being in Cuba was just an accident in a sense,” he said.

Moore said he hoped audiences would focus on the film’s message, not the controversy. He said it is both “a call to action” and a plea for a better, friendlier society.

“The bigger issue in the film is, who are we as a people?” Moore said.

“Why would we allow nearly 50 million Americans to go without any kind of health coverage ... That’s not America. That’s not the America I want to see exist.”

The film includes what Moore hopes is an example of generosity of spirit. When the director found out that the Moore-bashing Web site moorewatch.com would have to close because webmaster Jim Kenefick needed money to pay his sick wife’s medical bills, he sent an anonymous check for US$12,000.

Moore said he planned to call Kenefick on Saturday before the film’s evening premiere to identify himself as the benefactor. But Kenefick, tipped off by media reports, appeared unimpressed.

“He paid US$12,000 so that you, the press, would focus on what a ‘nice guy’ he is and in the same breath, make me look like a jerk,” Kenefick wrote on the site—which is still running.

I was under the impression that former presidents were basically suposed to be more diplomatic and keep their mouths shut after they are out of office. Funny thing most of us think he was one of the worst presidents of the 20th century.
Funny Think that is what most of us think of Carter.

Carter: Bush Admin. Is “Worst In History”
39th President Blasts The 43rd For “Endorsing” Pre-Emptive War, Abandoning Treaties And Peace Talks.

President Jimmy Carter speaking at the University of California, Irvine campus in Irvine, Calif., May 3, 2007. In a newspaper interview Mr. Carter rated the Bush adminstration “the worst in history” for its “overt reversal of America’s basic values.”

“This is the most forceful denunciation President Carter has ever made about an American president. When you call somebody the worst president, that’s volatile. Those are fighting words.”

(AP) Former President Carter says President Bush’s administration is “the worst in history” in international relations, taking aim at the White House’s policy of pre-emptive war and its Middle East diplomacy.

The criticism from Carter, which a biographer says is unprecedented for the 39th president, also took aim at Bush’s environmental policies and the administration’s “quite disturbing” faith-based initiative funding.

“I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history,” Carter told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in a story that appeared in the newspaper’s Saturday editions. “The overt reversal of America’s basic values as expressed by previous administrations, including those of George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon and others, has been the most disturbing to me.”

Carter spokeswoman Deanna Congileo confirmed his comments to The Associated Press on Saturday and declined to elaborate. He spoke while promoting his new audiobook series, “Sunday Mornings in Plains,” a collection of weekly Bible lessons from his hometown of Plains, Ga.

“Apparently, Sunday mornings in Plains for former President Carter includes hurling reckless accusations at your fellow man,” said Amber Wilkerson, Republican National Committee spokeswoman. She said it was hard to take Carter seriously because he also “challenged Ronald Reagan’s strategy for the Cold War.”

Carter came down hard on the Iraq war.

“We now have endorsed the concept of pre-emptive war where we go to war with another nation militarily, even though our own security is not directly threatened, if we want to change the regime there or if we fear that some time in the future our security might be endangered,” he said. “But that’s been a radical departure from all previous administration policies.”

Carter, who won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, criticized Bush for having “zero peace talks” in Israel. Carter also said the administration “abandoned or directly refuted” every negotiated nuclear arms agreement, as well as environmental efforts by other presidents.

Carter also offered a harsh assessment for the White House’s Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, which helped religious charities receive $2.15 billion in federal grants in fiscal year 2005 alone.

“The policy from the White House has been to allocate funds to religious institutions, even those that channel those funds exclusively to their own particular group of believers in a particular religion,” Carter said. “As a traditional Baptist, I’ve always believed in separation of church and state and honored that premise when I was president, and so have all other presidents, I might say, except this one.”

Douglas Brinkley, a Tulane University presidential historian and Carter biographer, described Carter’s comments as unprecedented.

“This is the most forceful denunciation President Carter has ever made about an American president,” Brinkley said. “When you call somebody the worst president, that’s volatile. Those are fighting words.”

Carter also lashed out Saturday at British prime minister Tony Blair. Asked how he would judge Blair’s support of Bush, the former president said: “Abominable. Loyal. Blind. Apparently subservient.”

“And I think the almost undeviating support by Great Britain for the ill-advised policies of President Bush in Iraq have been a major tragedy for the world,” Carter told British Broadcasting Corp. radio.

Remember… The Dems said they were going to drain the swamp. it proves to be nothing more than hot air. I guess they won’t be the most ethical congress after all.

By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK
Published: May 18, 2007
WASHINGTON, May 17 — House Democrats wavered Thursday in their vow to tighten Congressional ethics rules as their leaders scrapped a campaign pledge to double the current one-year ban on lobbying by departing lawmakers and senior staff members.

Democratic leaders in the House faced a rank-and-file revolt over the measure, which would significantly cramp the ability of lawmakers to cash in on their government service for million-dollar paychecks on K Street as soon as they leave office.

Democratic lawmakers involved in the leaders’ decision said that dropping the proposal was a necessary compromise toward a broader package of tighter lobbying rules, including a requirement that lobbyists disclose the money they raise for members’ campaigns.

Such disclosure would illuminate one of the advantages of incumbency as well as one of the most effective ways lobbyists curry favor with lawmakers. That measure, too, has drawn complaints from many members, who argue that it could hurt their fund-raising.

“There were some negotiations that went on, frankly, trying to get the votes,” said Representative Martin T. Meehan, Democrat of Massachusetts and an advocate of tighter rules. “Sometimes you have to make accommodations so you can get it passed.”

The Democratic leaders in the House had already proposed a less-stringent version of the so-called revolving door than the Senate had passed earlier this year.

In addition to doubling the duration of the one-year lobbying ban, the Senate bill proposed expanding the ban to cover any indirect lobbying activities, including plotting strategy or advising clients — significant sources of revenue for former lawmakers who move to K Street.

The House and Senate bills will go to a bicameral conference. If the House fails to pass any extension of the revolving-door ban, the conference could dilute or delete the Senate’s stricter rule.

Republicans derided Democrats, saying their lobbying proposal was beginning to resemble a Republican measure that Democratic leaders dismissed last year as “a sham.”

“Is their bill considered a sham, because it is starting to look more and more like our bill?” asked Jo Maney, a spokeswoman for Representative David Dreier of California, the ranking Republican on the House Rules Committee.

The Democratic leaders first presented their proposed changes on Tuesday at a caucus meeting that quickly became tempestuous. After two days of behind-the-scenes talks with disgruntled members and outside ethics-advocacy groups, the leaders agreed to drop the revolving-door extension from the version of the bill approved Thursday by the House Judiciary Committee.

As part of the deal, the committee strengthened a provision Democrats had also campaigned on that would require lawmakers to disclose any negotiations with future employers. Lawmakers said the committee added a requirement that members recuse themselves from acting on any legislation relating to a potential future employer.

The legislation was inspired by the case of former Representative Billy Tauzin, a Louisiana Republican who steered a Medicare prescription drug bill through Congress shortly before taking a $2 million-a-year job for a drug industry trade group.

Representative Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, chairman of the Democratic caucus, said the result was a stronger bill.

Democratic leaders said they would try to pass a package of rule changes next week. Asked about the prospects for passage, Mr. Emanuel said, “I am pretty confident.”

This ought to scare people.
Democrats more concerned about the enviornment than security

Senior House Republicans are complaining about Democrats’ plans to ivert “scarce” intelligence funds to study global warming.

The House next week will consider the Democrat-crafted Intelligence Authorization bill, which includes a provision directing an assessment of the effects that climate change has on national security.

“Our job is to steal secrets,” said Rep. Peter Hoekstra of Michigan, the ranking Republican on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
“There are all kinds of people analyzing global warming, the Democrats even have a special committee on this,” he told The Washington Times. “There’s no value added by the intelligence community here; they have no special expertise, and this takes money and resources away from other threats.” Democrats, who outnumber Republicans on the committee, blocked the minority from stripping the warming language from the bill.

Intelligence panel Chairman Silvestre Reyes, Texas Democrat, said the climate-change study is one of several shifts his party has made to intelligence policy.

“We’re concerned that global warming might impact our ability to maintain national security,” he told The Times, describing the idea as “cutting edge.” “We want to get feedback from the intelligence community to understand if there are possible global issues,” Mr. Reyes said, noting the change was on the advice of “several former military commanders.”

The panel voted 11-9 to keep the provision that directs a National Intelligence Estimate “on the anticipated geopolitical effects of global climate change and the implications of such effects on the national security of the United States,” according to a Republican staffer familiar with the bill. The study, which so far has an undetermined cost, would examine the science of climate change, among other things. Few details about its method were available, but the staffer said it would “divert already scarce resources to study the climate.” The staffer added that the U.S. already tried using intelligence resources for this purpose in the 1990s. “There are other parts of the government better suited to doing this type of study,” agreed Rep. Darrell Issa, California Republican. “Our government should not commit expensive spy satellites and human intelligence sources to target something as undefined as the environment
