More from Moore (if you can stomach it)

Well, naturally. Michael Moore is just tickled pink that OBL is cribbing from his Fahrenheit 9/11 for lines in OBL’s latest video release.

(For those of y’all who need a little opportunity to release a lil steam, I think I can scare up a copy of a Moore-based target you can run off for posting at the range… )

Is This Why sKerry Won’t Sign SF-180?

This may be why Jean Fraud sKerry won’t sign a Standard Form 180 allowing the Navy to release all his military records. In a column in The New York Sun today, Mark Sullivan, a former Navy JAG officer says,

“Unlike enlisted members, officers do not receive other than honorable, or dishonorable, certificates of discharge. To the contrary, the rule is that no certificate will be awarded to an officer separated wherever the circumstances prompting separation are not deemed consonant with traditional naval concepts of honor. The absence of an honorable discharge certificate for a separated naval officer is, therefore, a harsh and severe sanction and is, in fact, the treatment given officers who are dismissed after a general court-martial.”

The article, writen by Thomas Lipscomb, goes on to say,

With the only discharge document cited by Mr. Kerry issued in 1978, three years after the last date it should have been issued, the absence of a certificate from 1975 leaves only two possibilities. Either Mr. Kerry received an “other than honorable” certificate that has been removed in a review purging it from his records, or even worse, he received no certificate at all. In both cases there would have been a loss of all of Mr. Kerry’s medals and the suspension of all benefits of service.

Lipscomb’s done the digging and, absent an SF-180 from sKerry, may have the best information available about this gaping hole in sKerry’s resume. Just read it.

“Waiting for Godot”


Here’s a pic of some sKerry supporters “Waiting for Godot”

Note: “Waiting for Godot” is Samuel Beckett’s existential “theater of the absurd” play (that is, no drama, chronological plot, etc.) . In the play, the main characters mostly just sit around waiting for something—anything! Godot!!— to relieve their boredom.

Can’t you just sense the electricity in the air “Waiting for sKerry”?

Misunderstanding the Iraq war, part 2

“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

This much we pledge—and more.” –John F. Kennedy

“So in war, through the influence of an infinity of petty circumstances, which cannot properly be described on paper, things disappoint us, and we fall short of the mark. A powerful iron will overcomes this friction, it crushes the obstacles…” –Clausewitz, on “friction” in war.

Here, Clausewitz reveals another way the Mass Media Podpeople’s Army and the DNC (but I repeat myself 🙂 misunderstand the Iraq War and the President’s prosecution of it. For the MMPA and the DNC, problems, mistakes and barriers to a successful conclusion to the war are all reasons to declare it a failure, a “quagmire”. They particularly decry George W. Bush’s “stubborness” in refusing to admit defeat. Clausewitz knew—and the American soldiers on the ground know—that obstacles are there to be overcome, not to be surrendered to. That mistakes are there to be corrected or worked around, not whined about. That the unknowns are always greater than the knowns, but that courage and determination are key in overcoming both the friction and fog of war.

The MMPA, the DNC and their annointed champion, Jean Fraud sKerry, do not understand these things. The “Neville Chamberlain of the 21st Century” is not interested in a determined prosecution of the war on Islamic jihadists. To him, Islamic terrorism is akin to the “nuisances” of prostitution and illegal gambling. To him, magnifying, misrepresenting and actual lying about mistakes committed or problems faced by the boots on the ground is simply a political expedient for use in gaining power and position.

Where is the “iron will” in Jean Fraud sKerry’s character necessary to overcome the friction of war? He has no obvious consistency of position on any issue except for his consistency as regards blaming America first. In that, he is no different today than when, in 1970, he adopted Madame Binh’s seven-point negotiating position and advocated the North Vietnam/Viet Cong position to the American people. His only consistency through the years has been to blame America and seek to make her weaker.

Is this a person who can understand or achieve success in Iraq? Perhaps his willingness to have others “pay any price, bear any burden” to advance his own petty ambitions would be enough. But I doubt it.
