It’s the carpenter in me, and I’ve had several on hand, nice and splintery.

“Once more into the breach, dear friends, once more; Or close the wall up with our English dead! In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man As modest stillness and humility: But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger; Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood, Disguise fair nature with hard-favour’d rage; Then lend the eye a terrible aspect.” Henry V
Don’t know why this is in my head, may perchance be the legend of “pluck yew”, or it might be because of the anuerism.

It is just an almost daily occurrence brought on by exposing
my fragile psyche to the continuous onslaught of B.S. from the beloved ememedia, it tends to make me seem a tad unusual.

“And all who heard should see them there,
And all should cry, Beware ! Beware !
His flashing eyes, his floating hair !”

Samuel Coleridge Taylor

My Poetry prof in college was a demolition expert that fought the Japanese in WWII.He became a very good friend.He was continuously appalled and greatly saddened by the damage he did with his booby-traps, etc. His traps had the great facility to be able to distinguish between Us and Them, noncombatants, wildlife, etc., you see... He was killed while climbing The Grand Teton in 1982. I still see the grief in his eyes. Feel the pain in his heart. I miss him.

Has the “staged atrocity” aspect been reported in the media?

The schematic is a little unclear since it doesn’t show where the other two IED’s were found. That would be helpful in showing the entirety of attacks that were allegedly planned for that day. The two IEDs that were discovered at 0835 and 0915 appear to be in close proximity to the first that was exploded at 0716, based on some work that RS has done. If all three IEDs were connected, insurgents were planning on maximizing the damage on Nov. 19, 2005.

RS and Red, would it be of any help to show the two schematics where timelines and general locations are shown for comparison? It’s not definitive, but gives a general feel for the actions/timeline.

“Our military is being framed by AQ and nobody is stopping it?? “

Not sure I understand - are you saying that somehow AQ duped our soldiers into clearing those houses ?

... that they talked the marines into driving route chestnut that day ?

... else how would they know the people would be home and the taxi would be there ?

Of course not.

The prosecutors are being duped. This whole thing was staged by AQ to make a Me Lie and our military is being duped. Course Turda has alot to do with putting political pressure on this. That is why you have to wonder if the DNC is not involved.

Pray for W and Our Marines

SECNAV Winter should require a thorough investigation of the NCIS ... for starters. Someone leaked Murtha the information. Who was it, when and why did he do it. We really have to know... this can't go on. It's also time to demonstrate that congresspersons are not protected outside of their legislative duties when they defame citizens.

All of the intelligence data generated by the UAVs – including the mission reports, video, and internet messages between the UAV operators, 3/1, Regimental Combat Team 2, and Multi-National Force headquarters in Baghdad – was later seized by NCIS special agents

Can you say NCIS cover up?

I'm sure they had a perfectly logical reason for insuring that anything that could exonerate these Marines was locked up and thrown down a memory hole.

I gotta wonder did they do so before or after Murtha pronounced that this was a case of cold blooded murder.
