From NewsMax:Ex-president Bill Clinton now says he would have taken out Osama bin Laden before the 9/11 attacks ? if only the FBI and CIA had been able to prove the al-Qaida mastermind was behind the attack on the U.S.S....

Settlers in Gaza resist removal

In a day laden with emotion and history, Israeli soldiers began the evacuation of Gaza yesterday by hauling weeping Jewish settlers from their homes and synagogues, defying walls of outraged residents screaming insults and abuse.

This is an amazing spectacle - Israel enforcing ethnic cleasing on it's own people in service to the Palestinian governmentterrorists. The Chief HAS to wonder what the ultimate reaction will be to the current Israeli government when it (almost inevitably) turns out that Gaza becomes a fire base for Hamas, etc. continuing their war against the existance of the Jewish state.

It won't be a pretty picture at all!

Erick Erickson, posting at Red State, called Cindy Sheehan a "left wing media whore in the form of a grieving mother." Not kind words, and not words that I agree with necessarily. (And funny, didn't some left-wingers formerly publish a...

War games seen as 'message'

A joint Chinese and Russian military exercise set to begin tomorrow is meant as a political signal to the United States, in addition to helping Moscow showcase its weapons for sale to China, U.S. defense and intelligence officials said yesterday.

Join in with the ostrich wing of the Donks - close your eyes and repeat the mantra: "The cold war is over. The threat from Russia is gone."

On the other hand...more realistically, it behooves us to keep our powder dry.

Lions on the plains would alter order of the food chain

First came the Princeton University spawned idea to return the Great Plains to what was called a "buffalo commons". (No farmers/ranchers need apply.) Now comes this idiocy of converting areas of the US plains into a new edition of the Serengeti, complete with AFRICAN type lions, etc.

Lions in your back yard?...Well, maybe, if a group of prominent ecologists gets to establish a "Pleistocene Park" on the Great Plains. Authors of the plan -- which appears in today's issue of the journal Nature -- say their idea to transplant African wildlife to North America could save many of the animals from extinction.

Oooooh Kaaaaaay. First these moonbats need to relocate their apartments to the middle of the Serengeti - without fences or doors. After a couple of years of this field testing THEN let's hear their ideas. No, let's not - throw them to the lions, and give them their great opportunity to contribute THEMSELVES to the food-chain.

Why is it that these eastern moonbat academics have all these great ideas on what to do with the rest of us out here on the plains. They must truly think that THEY are the only one's who have the intellectual understanding to decide the best way to manage the planet and all of it's occupants - including their fellow citizens.

"Obviously, gaining public acceptance is going to be a huge issue, especially when you talk about reintroducing predators. There are going to have to be some major attitude shifts.

Attitude shift? To becoming an item of catfood? Not in THIS life!

That includes realizing predation is a natural role, and that people are going to have to take precautions."

Right, dude. It's MY natural role to kill animals that try to eat me. I'll take precautions, alright. How's about a semi-auto 30-06 with a 20 round clip?

Nevertheless, the scientists say the relocated animals could restore biodiversity on this continent to a condition closer to what nature was like before humans overran the landscape.

This statement is just plain illogical. Bringing AFRICAN wildlife into North America is RESTORING biodiversity to the continent? It seems to the Chief (who has a biology degree) that this is REPLACING the continent's biodiversity. (At least the buffalo commons idea used North American animals.) I'm not alone in reaching this conclusion:

Some scientists and conservationists, however, hoot. "It is not restoration to introduce animals that were never here," says University of Washington anthropologist Donald K. Grayson. "Why introduce Old World camels and lions when there are North American species that could benefit from the same kind of effort?"

Phew! At least SOME reason isn't gone from academia!

There WAS a time in the history of western civilization when this sort of plan was followed to some extent:

A couple of articles covering the disclosure that early info on Mohammed Atta's terrorist activities was ignored repeatedly, firstly by the Bubba Clinton administration, and later by the 9-11 Commission itself.

It's worth noting that the Chief's survey of MSM on-line finds almost no mention of this story from the likes of the NYT, WaPo, etc. Bully for Fox News, and the NY Post - at least THEY are reporting on this, along with the blogosphere, and the line-up of talk radio like Hannity, Savage, Limbaugh, et al. One wonders how long it will be before there is any recognition in the major MSM that there was/is a problem with this.

Based on this, the credibility of the Commission is worth zip, but this should be no surprise with Commissioner Jamie Gore-lick being a major player in the intel breakdown during the Clinton era. The fix is in! No wonder there are calls for a new commission reported by the NY Post.

Posting at Randi Rhodes' Air Scamerica online forum, an "activist" reports that Cindy Sheehan is beginning to wonder if she and the other protesters will be "killed" while holding vigil at the President's ranch in Texas -- and she would...

What can one say about this? Probably quite a bit, but the Chief will let the situation speak for itself in this case.

The husband of Cindy Sheehan has filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences" with his anti-war wife.

This article does answer one question about the case of the moonbat protest camper & her family:

Members of her husband's family have criticized her. Last week, Casey's aunt and godmother, Cherie Quararolo of Kelseyville, Calif., and others in the family sent e-mail to a California radio station that challenged Mrs. Sheehan's motives. "We do not agree with the political motivations and publicity tactics of Cindy Sheehan. She appears to be promoting her own personal agenda at the expense of her son's good name and reputation," the family members said. "The rest of the Sheehan Family supports the troops, our country, and our president, silently with prayer and respect."
