August 6th, 1945 ; Atomic bomb is dropped on Hiroshima

Intresting that your brought up the use of Atomic Weapons laste week. Today is Hiroshima Day. Pitty the left will totally forget the advent of Nuclear weapons probably prevented the Cold War from turning into a shooting World War IV and saved MILLIONS of Japaneses lives.

If anyone has a problem with low blood pressure, and wants it raised, Reliable Sources is on CNN now.

OMG, the moderator just used the words long slog about the Israeli-Lebanon war.

There was an awesome bit of news for Ann Coulter Fans in the latest update on our attempts to help a wounded Marine and his wife who were mugged recently in Washington DC.

Update on Mark and Denise Beyers:

I paid a visit to Walter Reed this evening. I did not call ahead to the Beyers, because I was going there anyway and I was afraid they may have been pummeled with phone calls the past two days. (Found out later my suspicion was correct.) Spoke with Mark by phone from the lobby, and as soon as he heard I'm an old jarhead, he invited me up. At first I didn't recognize him, but then I realized we had met two weeks ago at a barbecue behind the Mologne House.

Mark's lovely wife Denise came back a few minutes after I arrived. She had picked up some items for dinner, so my invitation to take them out to eat was politely declined. I dropped off a card, and told them to prepare themselves to be overwhelmed with cards, letters and care packages. They seem surprised, so I shared the story of Joshua Sparling (see Sparling thread here). They said they had been swamped with phone calls (even their cell phones -- they have no idea how those numbers were known), especially by the media. The young couple seemed amused that this horrible incident occurred over three weeks ago, but nobody thought much of it until someone (apparently in Mark's home town) shared the story with the media. Now it's exploded.

I also learned a few details that have been either unclear or misreported. They were not in Bethesda, but in D.C. up near Bethesda. Denise was knocked down (she showed me a lovely scab on her knee), but she was not punched or kicked. And some stories supposedly said Mark's father was assaulted, but he was not even with them.

No items being sent to me for delivery to the Beyers have reached me yet, and Mark confirmed that he may well be going home to New York for good this week. So I obtained his father's address to ship everything for him. If they are still at Walter Reed next week, I will deliver the items then, and they've agreed to let me treat them to dinner then.

On a side note I had dinner with Mike Sparling, Joshua's father, this evening. He and Joshua went to the Freedom concert in San Diego, compliments of Sean Hannity and Kirby Wilbur out of Seattle. Joshua got to spend time with Ann Coulter while there. And get this. Joshua has a date with Ann sometime in the next few weeks!

:-) It must have been that "man in uniform" thing!

Thanks to everyone for caring!

Did you read this?

Curse you IT Nazis! Curse you! At work today and that is one of those Verboten websites. Will check it when I get home, Thank you for the heads up. :-)

Two points: 

1. Your post is both reasoned and rational
2. They aren't reasoning human beings nor are they rational.

It doesn't matter that they'll lose.  What matters is that they believe they won't or, worse, they only want to do damage, maybe even destroy the world as we know it.

And they actually think they can win.

Our military takes the threat seriously.

Today is Hiroshima Day.

Yeah.  I actually get a little concerned on significant dates like this one.  The Jihadists are fond of doing things on dates that have some meaning, to them or to us.  That's one of the reasons so many people have looked so hard for the significance of the August 22nd date that Iran said they were going to provide their response to Western demands about their nuclear program.  The best info I've found on that is that, this year, that date lines up with the Muslim calendar so that it marks when Saladin conquered Jerusalem and took it from the Christian Crusaders.

If Al Qaeda has a nuke they'd use a date like that, or today, to unleash it on us.  Imagine the rationalization by the left if someone set off a nuke in Washington today and then said it was in revenge for us having nuked Hirshima.

And we all know what tiny feet indicate.

Almost correct.

I knew an old brilliant Jewish architect years ago. He was about 65 years old. He had really small feet.

I had a few drinks with him often. One evening we went into the men's room of the bar to take a leak. The guy was HUGE --- about a foot long (soft).

****

"Small feet....... small hands" ..... NEVER make generalizations! Real stupid.

[Chuck54]

Joshua has a date with Ann sometime in the next few weeks!

Now that would tend to make a person jealous. Good for him and I agree.

Had to be the uniform.

Well we cannot make an argument on the bases of "Well the fact are all irrelevant because they are crazy". That is not an accurate assessment of the Islamic leadership. The Mullahs want to win but they want to LIVE to win. They are more then willing to expend peons as suicide bombers, they are NOT interested in BEING the suicide bombers.

The point I am making is it utterly absurd to try and cram this Asymmetrical Warfare problem into a Conventional War context.

Counter Insurgency (AKA Counter Terrorism, Stabilization Mission, what ever) are probably more a political problem then a military problem. There is a military dimension to them but it is vastly less crucial to the solution then the political aspects.

Did you hear that idiot who wrote "Fiasco" say that Israeli generals or politicians (war planners) want to allow some Hezbollah to keep firing Katushas because more dead Israelis help the war effort. I nearly fainted from disgust. This is my first foray into CNN territory for months.

Thomas Hicks is this scum's name.

[Phsstpok]

The intent is obvious. The MSM is trying to save old Joe.

That's possible, but I think the opposite may be true, at least in some cases.  In my preview thread yesterday I speculated on the motives behind the shows emphasizing the Connecticut race.  I listed ABC as "conflicted," because of Steponallofus' loyalty to the Clintons and the Clintons support for Joe. 

I think that the rest of the DBM are pushing for Lieberman's ouster as part of a Stalinist purge of those who are "ideologically impure."  They have been captured by the cult of Kos and the church of MoveOn.ORG.

Have there ever been polls before any election that didn't have Democrats ahead?

Yes. It's called "elections results".

[Chuck54]

I did see that and cannot believe the network has him on with no rebuttal at all.

He (the idiot author) is still spewing the moonbat line and Ann Compton is nodding her head like one of the little doggies in the rear window of a car.

[stopem]

So should I take that as a no ...LOL:)
