Your Government’s Jihadi-Protection Program

Islam, Jihad, Military, Political Correctness, Terrorism, The State

Excerpted from “Your Government’s Jihadi Protection Program,” now up on WND.COM:

“To claim you correspond with an al-Qaida recruiter for purposes of ‘research’ is like saying you read Playboy magazine for the articles.”

“The jihadi who committed fratricide at Fort Hood would never have advanced such fatuities. Leave such deception to the nation’s military and intelligence establishment: Last December, no less than two Joint Terrorism Task Forces finessed Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan’s extensive correspondence with the infamous radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki as an innocent exchange.”

“The Muslim-American who (‘allegedly’) murdered 13 people and maimed 31 on a United States Army post had been straightforward about his sympathies throughout his military career.”

“Honest Hasan took every opportunity to inform his colleagues and classmates that he was a Muslim first, an American and an officer second, and that Islamic law usurped the Constitution. That minor tidbit failed to rattle the military.” …

Updated: The Fair Sex & The Unmentionable (A Man) At Fort Hood

Feminism, Gender, Media, Military, Propaganda

“Manacled by multiculturalism, Lieutenant General Robert W. Cone, commander of III Corps at Fort Hood was careful to keep his grunts defenseless.”

As I write in my upcoming WND column, to be posted tonight,

“‘As a matter of practice, we don’t carry weapons here, this is our home,’ he bragged about the ‘no-guns’ policies on base. It remained for the victims at Fort Hood to wait for civilian police officers to rescue them from a lone, weapons-wielding man.

For 13 of the fragged men and women it was too late.”

A legend named Sergeant Kimberly Munley has been born. Everyone is slobbering over the fact that a woman, purportedly, took Hasan down.

I’m a wee bit skeptical about such fem fantasies. Remember that hoax the military perpetrated about some single woman soldier in Iraq who took on an Iraqi battalion?

Wikipedia is more cautious. Lo and behold, the online encyclopedia mentions an unmentionable—a man—who seemed to have done quite a bit to finish that dirty job:

“Sergeant Kimberly Munley, who had arrived on the scene within three minutes of receiving the report of an emergency at the center, encountered Hasan exiting the building in pursuit of a wounded soldier. Munley and Hasan exchanged shots. Munley was hit three times; twice through her left leg and once in her right wrist, knocking her to the ground.[19] In the meantime, civilian police officer Sergeant Mark Todd arrived and fired at Hasan. Todd said: ‘He was firing at people as they were trying to run and hide. Then he turned and fired a couple of rounds at me. I didn’t hear him say a word, he just turned and fired.'[20] Hasan was hit and felled by shots from Todd and Munley.[21][3] Todd approached the wounded shooter, kicked a pistol out of his hand, and placed him in handcuffs as Hasan fell unconscious.[22]”

Update: It’s confirmed (thanks, Jack). This was a repeat of the Jessica Lynch affair. How predictable. A man had Munley’s back. You know how useless the woman must have been for the New York Times not to ignore the story:

“The witness, who asked not to be identified, said Major Hasan wheeled on Sergeant Munley as she rounded the corner of a building and shot her, putting her on the ground. Then Major Hasan turned his back on her and started putting another magazine into his semiautomatic pistol.

It was at that moment that Senior Sgt. Mark Todd, a veteran police officer, rounded another corner of the building, found Major Hasan fumbling with his weapon and shot him.

How the authorities came to issue the original version of the story, which made Sergeant Munley a national hero for several days and obscured Sergeant Todd’s role, remains unclear.”

What a gentleman Todd is. Or, more likely, too scared to shatter the PC code of conduct and the nation’s fantasies. Via the Guardian:

“Todd said: ‘We were engaged in a gunfight, and then I neutralised him, or we neutralised him.'”

Oops, he almost took credit for his actions. No well-trained American man inculcated in PC would do that! In any event, it seems that Hasan dropped the lady weapons expert and Todd “neutralized” the Other Protected Species.

Update II: In Limbaugh (On Blowhards & Blonds)

Barack Obama, Bush, Conservatism, Iraq, Military, Republicans, Ron Paul, War

He voted for McMussolini.

He finds great merit in the crocodile tears Bush shed in his presence over soldiers the former president as good as coffined. Obama’s grim visit to Dover, Delaware, to bear witness to the sad specter of young men carrying the coffins of their fallen comrades—this he find utterly unbelievable.

He “thinks” the “president should give the generals, the commanders on the ground, as many troops as they need to win.”

To insure the estimated 12 million uninsured, he suggests taking “some of the unspent stimulus. We have 85 percent of the stimulus unspent. … For 35 to $40 billion a year, you could insure those people, not $2 trillion, not 1.4.”

Vis-a-vis ObamaCare, he doesn’t know “any Republican who would try to take over one- sixth of the U.S. economy.” Evidently this Oracle had not heard of the Bush Medicare prescription-drug program. It may not have been a sixth of the economy, but George sure began the ball rolling with that behemoth of a bill.

Neither is he familiar with “one Republican who would put forth the — this irresponsible cap-and-trade bill.” How about that hypocrite he voted for? McCain fulminates against Obama’s tax-and-trade, but “in January 2003, the Senators from Arizona, together with Joseph Lieberman (D-CT), “introduced legislation to cap and trade emissions of greenhouse gases.” (While electioneering, McCain suspended this particular plan to sunder the economy.)

I give you the King of Irrational Partisanship, RUSH LIMBAUGH, in a Sunday interview with Fox News’ Chris Wallace.

Update I (Nov. 3): From the Comments Section: “When somebody more ‘acceptable’ turns out an effective opposition to the left maybe I’ll get excited about Rush’s shortcomings.”

That’s amazing. Republican’ chest-thumping warfare projects have brought us to this economic disaster. Yet, nothing changes in the mind of the dyed-in-the-wool Republican. Ron Paul exists; vigorously so. I exist. Chuck Baldwin exists. But no matter how often you point out the deep chasms between Republicans, on the one hand, and Constitutionalists, Taft Republicans, and classical liberals, on the other—the same people keep cheering for the blowhards and blonds of the Stupid Party. Face it, people are collectivists who have to belong to a group, no matter how errant it is in its philosophy.

It’s no use, but here’s my two-cents:
Addicted To That Rush
It’s About Federalism, Stupid!

Update II: We’ve had this attempt at a conversation whereby a non-interventionist foreign policy—my own—was mischaracterized for the purpose of discrediting. Constitutional principles aside, the mind boggles at the blind support for the Bush war boondoggles given their miserable failure.
So let me repeat—probably not for the last time—what I wrote here:

“We’ve adjudicated the last 8 years of foreign policy here on BAB in blog posts and in article on IlanaMercer.com. My perspective, which comports with that of Paul, albeit with some differences, has been vindicated. I’m surprised war mongers are unrepentant, and are still plumping for preemptive war against countries that have not aggressed against the US given the lessons of Iraq. I guess when it’s not your kid who’s hobbling around on prostheses or dead, it doesn’t much move the mind, much less the heart. The “isolationism” pejorative is lobbed by neoconservatives when they wish to discredit those of us who believe in fighting just wars only. It’s like pacifist.”

The idea that defending your borders and controlling who enters your country and stays in it are passive is ludicrous. We don’t do any of these basic housekeeping duties; but we level far-away countries and drop dumb bombs on their impoverished neighborhoods. Way to go! How brave! Individuals who still support this moral perversion are twisted sons of bitches.

Oh, there’s another thing ditto heads forbid, so let me break the rule as is my wont. The military most certainly does commit atrocities. Ask Abeer Qasim Hamza. Wait a sec; you can’t, becasue she’s dead, raped first by the American untouchables.

The Real War is At Home.
