U.S. military intelligence analysis says forces control less than quarter of Basra Officials say militia's forces control many cities in Iraq's southeast Bush called the operation "a defining moment in the history of a free Iraq" "This is going to go on for a while," one U.S. military official said WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Iraqi military push into the southern city of Basra is not going as well as American officials had hoped, despite President Bush's high praise for the operation, several U.S. officials said Friday. A burned Iraqi army tank is seen on a street in the southern city of Basra on Friday. 1 of 3 A closely held U.S. military intelligence ...

Trial by Silk After almost a hundred days on a space transport, we were naturally happy to land on an Earth-type planet. —Any Earth-type planet. Our captain this trip was a burly New Venusian named Engstrom. On the big screen over the forward loudspeaker of the public address system, his image showed a discomfort hard to explain. His hemming, hawing, and fidgeting added nothing worth having, either. Beside me, Willis murmured fervently, "I wish we had the Captain back." When anyone on Starlight spoke the word "captain" with such reverence, he meant, not Engstrom, but our previous captain, who'd recently been transferred to one of the company's newer and ...

40 minutes ago BAGHDAD - U.S. forces stepped deeper Friday into the Iraqi government's fight to cripple Shiite militias, launching airstrikes in the southern city of Basra and firing a missile into the main Shiite stronghold in Baghdad. The American support occurred as Iraqi troops struggled against strong resistance in Basra and retaliation elsewhere in Shiite areas — including more salvos of rockets or mortars into the U.S.-protected Green Zone in Baghdad. It was the first time American jets have been called to attack militia positions since Iraqi ground forces launched an operation Tuesday to clear Basra of the armed groups that have effectively ruled the streets of the ...
The Brett Darrow Case- Invoking Your Rights With Police

The Brett Darrow CaseBrett Darrow is a 20 year old from St. George Missouri, who decided to mount a video camera in his car after getting some traffic tickets. Watch the bizzare series of events that unfolds in September 2007 when Brett politely invokes his God given rights to privacy and Constitutional protections. Sgt. James Kuehnlein became outraged and began screaming like a lunatic, berating and threatening Darrow, saying he would find '9 different charges' to lock him up on. Darrow later posted the video online where it got international attention, and Sgt. Kuehnlein was promptly fired. Darrow had an eerily similar incident happen to him in December 2006, when he politely ...
In Iraq, Trying to Salvage a Cease-Fire

A charade is going on in Baghdad and it may end badly. The U.S. military has been very careful to say that the current offensive by the Iraqi government in southern Iraq was simply "enforcement of the law in Basra." It was not directed against the Mahdi Army, the militia run by radical Shi'ite cleric (and political powerhouse) Moqtada al-Sadr, whose seven-month-old cease-fire has been key to the success of the American surge. The U.S. maintained that line today even though it was clear that the "criminal gangs" battling government forces in Basra were identifiable as elements of the Mahdi Army. In a military briefing in Baghdad on Wednesday, the U.S. military ...

April 1st (Yes, I know that is April Fools day) is scheduled a 1 day truck shutdown. Most of those participating are owner operators, and they are doing this due to fuel prices. Those already under a load are encouraged to deliver it, and not to cause too many problems. They arent looking to crash what is left of our economy. I was listening to a trucker radio program last night, and whole owner/operator fleets are going to shut down. This is also getting MSM exposure. These guys are pissed. Some were willing to shut down for a week or more. How this translates to actual numbers, your guess is as good as mine. I know that this is not the 1st time this has been brought up, but I am getting ...

Moqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army fought US, Iraqi forces in Baghdad and Basra on Tuesday. By Sam Dagher Baghdad - The Mahdi Army's seven-month-long cease-fire appears to have come undone. Rockets fired from the capital's Shiite district of Sadr City slammed into the Green Zone Tuesday, the second time in three days, and firefights erupted around Baghdad pitting government and US forces against the militia allied to the influential Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr. At the same time, the oil-export city of Basra became a battleground Tuesday as Iraqi forces, backed by US air power, launched a major crackdown on the Mahdi Army elements. British and US forces were guarding the border ...
New Hampshire State Reps to Vote on Impeachment, Please Call

All eyes are on New Hampshire. The New Hampshire House of Representatives will vote on an impeachment resolution filed by 87 year-old State Representative Betty Hall (pictured above) sometime in early April, employing little-known "Jefferson's Manual" rules in an effort to force Congress to begin impeachment hearings against George Bush and Dick Cheney. Although many other local and state impeachment resolutions exist, NH is seen as a conservative bellwether state which could change the national dynamic. Impeachment advocates are responding to concerns that there is not enough time for impeachment by pointing out that Richard Nixon resigned a mere one-and-a-half weeks after ...
A Flag For Your Son

When a people choose to worship the idol called the state as their savior, the natural progression will require that eventually they sacrifice themselves or members of their family to insure the growth and survival of this false god. A flag for your son, father, brother, husband, uncle, nephew or cousin; a flag-draped cold metal box for your mother, sister, wife, aunt, or niece. Of course, the pagan god will refuse any attempt to photograph these sacrifices, returned from the fields of conquest and death, claiming they are protecting the families, while in reality they seek to protect themselves from any awakening to the truth that might occur among their worshipers (slaves).

The Surge--Is It Soup Yet?

Many people seem to enjoy repeating “the is Surge working, the Surge is working…” over and over again on television. So just before we pop the Champaign at the fifth-year anniversary party for the invasion of Iraq, and celebrate the completion of the freshman year of our ballyhooed “new strategy,” perhaps we should ask, “is the Surge working—really? Sure, it’s working fine, just like my sister’s car. I had to drop her off at the garage where they were looking over her Ford Probe. It’d been overheating since she bought it, and there was something wrong with the alternator, too. But she didn’t have the money to fix it, so she asked the ...

Supreme Court hears key gun rights case

4 minutes ago WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court has heard arguments about the meaning of the Second Amendment and the Districts of Columbia's ban on handguns. A majority appears to support the view that the amendment protects an individual's right to own guns, rather than somehow linking right to service in a state militia. But it is less clear what that means for the District's 32-year-old ban on handguns, perhaps the strictest gun control law in the nation. "Does that make it unreasonable for a city with a very high crime rate...to say no handguns here?" Justice Stephen Breyer said. On the other side, Chief Justice John Roberts asked at one point: "What is ...

gold fixing to retrace, commodities selling off

as I pointed out over the weekend, gold and commodities are way fucking overbought. If you are going long now you are going to take a haircut. If gold busts 990, which I think likely, you can expect it to retrace to about 950 and from their to 900. They gapped it up today at the open and it filled its gap, which indicates that the smart money is moving away and taking profits while joe and susie taterfuck are running in to buy the top. many other commodities today closed limit down, meaning they are selling like twelve bastards and even oil is topping. smells a whole lot like a bottom forming, but we shall see. here is some gear from ino.com about the commodities today. of course, ...

Wanted to share something I thought was relevant to recent discussions here on the economy. My wife and I visited our local Gun shop over the weekend to purchase a hand gun for her. You couldn't believe how many people were in this store buying fireamrs! I shop regularly at this store for cheap ammunition to shoot at the range, so I am familiar with the traffic. This place was jammed. You could hardly get around each other at the counters and down the aisles. The tension was thick. People seemed tense. I was hyped up on coffee and feeling honery so I loudly proclaimed, "Everyone here must be worried about the Economy and riots in the streets!" I thought I was going to get ...

SILVER SPRING, Maryland, Mar 14 (IPS) - Hart Viges joined the U.S. Army the day after Sep. 11, 2001, in the belief that he could help make the world a safer place. He ended up stationed in Fallujah, and then Baghdad. "We were the only authority and took full advantage of that," he told an audience of roughly 300 people here gathered for three days of testimony by veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan about abuses of civilians. "Everything was haji...haji house, haji smokes, haji burger." The term "haji" is used by U.S. soldiers in Iraq to degrade and dehumanise the Iraqi people. Viges, like others who spoke, said that U.S. troops routinely detained ...

Fri Mar 14, 5:10 PM ET WASHINGTON - On Sept. 24, 1976, one of the toughest gun laws in the nation took effect in the District of Columbia, essentially outlawing the private ownership of new handguns in a city struggling with violence. Over the next few weeks, a man with a .32-caliber pistol held up workers at a downtown federal office at midday, a cab driver was shot in the head, and a senator was mugged by three youths, one carrying a revolver, near the U.S. Capitol. Since the ban was passed, more than 8,400 people have been murdered in the district, many killed by handguns. Nearly 80 percent of the 181 murders in 2007 were committed with guns. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court is ...
