Rohrabacher again
BAGHDAD (AFP) – Iraqi authorities have asked for a US congressman to leave the country after he called for Baghdad to repay part of the money spent by Washington since the 2003 invasion, a spokesman said on Saturday.
Gee, Dana, maybe they could just pay back the money you helped borrow to fight that criminal war direct to China in the interest of efficiency.
Note to Rohrabacher: Dude, you borrowed the money and wasted it and it's gone and that's it.
That dumb sonofabitch embarrasses my whole state every time he he opens his mouth and lets slip the dogs of stoopid.

Pakistani Intelligence Announces Its Full Cooperation With U.S. Forces During Upcoming Top Secret June 12 Drone Strike On Al-Qaeda At 5:23 A.M. Near Small Town Of Razmani In North Waziristan
In addition, Pasha thanked American CIA operative Aban Changwani, who he said has been working undercover for quite some time. Pasha confirmed that because Changwani had grown a beard to blend in with al-Qaeda members, he more than likely looked different than the picture currently being shown to reporters.
Added Pasha, "We've also changed the code words we use with the Americans, which is vital to our overall communications strategy."
Specifically, he explained unprompted, Tango, Thunderclap, Pinnacle, Bourbon, Serum, Flinch, Rotary, Wigwam, Crimson, Notebook, and Cask have been replaced by Backpack, Brunette, Icicle, Hallway, Cyclone, Archer, Mustang, Cabin, Velvet, Gambler, Foothold, and Brick.
Pasha said that in addition to U.S. Apache helicopters circling Razmani to prevent the escape of any terrorist operatives, the ISI would be setting up extensive checkpoints on all roads leading north, south, and west out of the town

Playing wif my privates privets ...
Had to remove a row of privet hedge along the dogs' kennel when the fence guys came this past week, so I spent yesterday replanting them in another part of the yard, pruning (they'd gotten quite "leggy" since all I'd done was trim the tops a bit every other year since we moved in), and then started rooting some cuttings. Being we were supposed to have storms last night (we did) and today (we are) I had to git 'r done yesterday.
I also "de-Gitmoed" the kennel a bit (I'll have pics when the sun comes out) with some new shrubs and hanging pots. It was either that or catch me some Talibans, put 'em in orange jumpsuits, and toss 'em in for the girls as toys (I told the Mrs. it would have looked perfect with coils of razor-wire across the top, she said my German was showing again; heh ...). Shrubs and plant hangers were easier.

I've been working with the new Blogger stuff on a couple of my other blogs (Worlds, Sent Off!) since I came back from the Canaries and it looks like it does what I want in a more simple way. Simple works well in my life at this point.

Ask me about my agony and despair!
If yesterday was Wednesday, it must have been Morford.
I let the Toads Of Despair outta the bag the same way you do, young Mark. With my keyboard.
How do you avoid becoming horribly soiled and tainted, downtrodden and depressed every single day by the relentless onslaught, the endless horrors and bleakness hurled forth by the blood-soaked and desperately panicky mainstream media, inside of which you apparently still writhe and (mostly, sporadically, drunkenly) thrive?

Neocons Spin Two ‘Lost’ Wars
The looming U.S. defeats in Iraq and Afghanistan represent a threat to the political fortunes of America’s neocons — if they get blamed for the disasters. However, if they can hang the failures around President Obama’s neck, the two lost wars might help bring the neocons back to power as early as 2013, writes Robert Parry.
If that trick can be pulled off, the neocons could keep U.S. military in the service of Israel’s Likud hardliners as they confront new dangers from their Arab neighbors and may want help attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The neocons also realize that an Obama electoral loss in 2012 would protect the Pentagon’s budget which otherwise could face at least some modest trimming in a second Obama term. Republican leaders have declared that they would spare the Pentagon from budget cuts even as the GOP proposes slashing key social programs, including Medicare.
The longer the wars can be stretched out the easier it will be to count on the famous historical amnesia of the American voters and fault Obama for the eventual defeats. It will be Obama who “lost Iraq” and “lost Afghanistan.”
That will play into the core Republican theme about Obama’s feckless leadership, failing to straighten out the economy and ready to accept U.S. decline around the world. Any suggestion that Bush deserves the blame will be met with the talking point, “there you go again, blaming Bush. When will Obama take responsibility for his own failures?”
The stage will be set for another Republican presidential victory in November 2012 – and a return by the neocons to the war rooms of the White House and the Pentagon.
With domestic enemies like these, who needs foreign ones?
If it was up to me, every last goddam neocon would be in Gitmo as traitors and enemies of the people.
They're trying everything they possibly can, but I predict Obama will get his second term. Foreign policy does not decide elections, and as we learned from the Bush Dark Time, we need brains and practicality over throwback ideology. Been there, done that, circling the drain because of it.
Delta changes bag policy for returning soldiers
Following up on yesterday's post:
"Social media director" = cleanup crew.
The only thing worse than charging the troops exorbitant - or any - fees is for the troops to tell about it. Our GIs ain't stupid. That video is gone like the buffalo, but it did what it was meant to do first.
(CBS/AP)
WASHINGTON - U.S. soldiers returning from Afghanistan posted a YouTube video complaining that they had to pay Delta Air Lines $2,800 out of pocket to check extra bags, prompting an onslaught of online comments critical of Delta and at least one boycott effort.
The video went online late Tuesday. By Wednesday afternoon -- nearly 200,000 views later -- Delta had posted a blog message saying it had revised its bag fee policy for troops. The airline had been allowing troops traveling coach class three free bags, but was imposing a $200 fee on a fourth bag. Now Delta -- in a statement attributed to a company social media director -- says fourth bags will be free.
"Social media director" = cleanup crew.
A military spokeswoman told CBS affiliate WGCL any extra baggage fees assessed by an airline will be reimbursed by the government, depending on the troops' orders.
Army officials said Wednesday they were trying to identify the soldiers in the video and their unit. One sergeant in the video said the unit was returning from Afghanistan to Fort Polk in Louisiana.
But some troops told WGCL that the soldiers will be in hot water when their superiors find out about the YouTube clip.

Skeevy little poseur bitch
Guess Who
I was hoping this whole shit fight would go away. Now I don't want it to until Breitbart and Vitter get theirs. Fat chance. Scumbags.
Oh, the innocent days of July 2007, when a darling of the religious right could not only weather a scandal where he got fucked by multiple hookers over the course of years, including, allegedly, while wearing diapers and being treated like an infant, but he could also be reelected with the full support of his supposedly religious party.
There you have it: Liberal Weiner sent pictures of his hard cock and sexy messages in a game with women far away and, when he was caught, he lied about it to Wolf Blitzer. Conservative Vitter wore a diaper while he was fucked by hookers, probably involving strap-ons in his ass while he was covered in his own shit. Of course, Republicans would condemn the liberal. Vitter was merely enacting the Republican approach to governance.
(Side note to Breitbart: what a skeevy little poseur bitch you are, the Perez Hilton of politics, attempting for even a moment to appear noble by holding back the photo of Weiner's dick. But, of course, you were showing it off to anyone who wanted to see it because that makes you so much cooler and powerful. Man, Weiner may have fucked up in showing off his penis, but you're the one who sucks 'em.)

Grow up and pay attention to governing instead of acting like whiny teenagers. I'm tired of all the faux outrage over Weiner's Wiener. When you have Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani on TV, looking down their nose at Anthony Weiner (serial adulterers both) and calling him names, it's just getting stupid, immature, and more than a bit creepy.
How about trying to create some jobs instead of fixating on another man's cock.
