Theodore's World

Thank you so much John 5 (VN69/70) for sending this to me.

Many horses got stuck on a small island for days after a heavy storm. People feared for the lives of the more than one hundred horses. This is about their rescue, the rescue of more then 100 horses in the Netherlands in 2006. it is very moving and a beautiful thing to see.

Thank you Tom for sending me this video.

In Washington, counterprotesters also converged on the mall in smaller numbers, but the antiwar demonstration was largely peaceful.
There were a few tense moments, however, including an encounter involving Joshua Sparling, 25, who was on crutches and who said he was a corporal with the 82nd Airborne Division and lost his right leg below the knee in Ramadi, Iraq. Mr. Sparling spoke at a smaller rally held earlier in the day at the United States Navy Memorial, and voiced his support for the administration’s policies in Iraq.
Later, as antiwar protesters passed where he and his group were standing, words were exchanged and one of the antiwar protestors spit at the ground near Mr. Sparling; he spit back.
Capitol police made the antiwar protestors walk farther away from the counterprotesters.
“These are not Americans as far as I’m concerned,” Mr. Sparling said.

In December 2005, the Iraq war veteran received a disgusting, anti-war death wish card while being treated at Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington, D.C. for injuries from a bomb explosion in Ramadi.

The card front, decorated with patriotic and holiday stamps, was deceptively innocuous. But, when you take a look inside it says “P.S. DIE”.

Last month, his right leg was amputated. I posted about it here at this blog and so did countless others with blogs that love and respect our troops and were outraged.
This last weekend, while he was participating in a counter-protest against the traitors and enemy within our country and their convergence, he was spit at by anti-war demonstrators.

Anti-war protesters were allowed to spray paint on part of the west front steps of the United States Capitol building after police were ordered to break their security line by their leadership, two sources told The Hill.
According to the sources, police officers were livid when they were told to fall back by U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) Chief Phillip Morse and Deputy Chief Daniel Nichols. “They were the commanders on the scene,” one source said,who requested anonymity. “It was disgusting.”

Josh with his girlfriend

What Josh had to say about the protest:

“This march here? I think these are basically people that just don’t really understand what’s going on. These are what I like to call TV liberals. All they do is watch television and get all their information off of there. If they had any real world experience and actually could see what was going on. They’re walking here because of people like me who fight for their freedom and the people that have sacrificed their lives are the real heroes.
If they were in Iraq right now they would be wishing that they could have somebody come in and save them so they could have the same freedoms that we do. They really don’t understand that. That’s the whole reason I joined because of my nephews and nieces who I loved to grow up in freedom. They can do whatever they want. They can be whatever they want. People in Iraq are taken from their homes. They’re captured if they don’t agree with their dictatorship. All I’m saying is they’re people, too and they deserve the same rights that we as Americans deserve.
They say fighting doesn’t solve anything but we would not be here unless the Revolutionary war happenned, World War I, World War II. We’d be speaking German right now. It needs the soldiers They don’t understand. They’re ignorant and ignorance is bliss, they say. They’re caught up in their cause and that’s all they see. They’re blind.”

My story is not too much. I am a regular infantryman. I was over there [Iraq] patrolling the streets. We were taking some cover from some fire and I was looking for a position to defend against and on the way I saw a little hole in the ground with an IED and I warned my troops to get back, back away as fast as possible. They knew they couldn’t get a bunch of us. There was a trigger man hiding there in the field. They’d rather get somebody than nobody so he blew me up. That’s my story. I’m here a year later. I got amputated a year after my injury and now I’m just recovering, getting better so I can get back out there.
If you want to support the soldiers, you need to support the war because we’re all volunteers.”

The left was represented by the traitors to America …just a few of the names:
Democratic Representative Dennis Kucinich
Jessie Jackson
Hanoi Jane
Tim Robbins
Susan Sarandon

Sean Penn ( actor) with Democratic Representative Maxine Waters next to him and communist Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin on the Far Left.

WTF? A mother would do and
say this and side with the enemy!

“I’ve got a son who just got out of the military and another still in,” said Jackie Smith, 65, from Sunapee, N.H., whose sign read “Bush Bin Lyin.” “And I’m here because this is all I can do to try to help them.”

A counterprotester, Larry Stark, 71, a retired Navy officer who fought in Vietnam for five years and was a prisoner of war, said….

“We never lost a battle in Vietnam but we lost the war, and the same is going to be true in Iraq if these protesters have their way.”
The protesters on Saturday were undermining troop morale, Mr. Stark said, and increasing the likelihood of a premature withdrawal.
“It’s like we never learn from the past,” he said.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
The First Amendment is not an excuse for spitting on a wounded Iraq vet or threatening their life. These traitors not only spit on Vets but also called them murderers. And a couple of the traitors threatened to shoot Joshua Sparling. YES they said they would shoot him and there are people from the PRO Troops side ( our side the military said, America’s side) of this that have it on tape!!
This is from an email from someone that was there supporting the troops and was there next to Josh.

“There were at least two different people in the leftist crowd who threatened to shoot Josh – I videotaped those incidents. I’m sure I missed alot more, because I was only one person and couldn’t be everywhere to catch all of the lame leftist threats and curses.”

It is about time the American people woke the hell up! I am sick of this! It made me physically ill to see this shit happening. I had to wait till today to post about it I was too angry, too sick to my stomach to even be able to type anything about it.
OK now get this, how do the enemy within get that many to show up?? They sure as hell did not just leave their homes that day and walk over to the protest. NOPE! They took busses and trains, this fucking thing was well organized to the hilt. And there will be more of them. More planned protests coming you bet cha’! More of the enemy of this country, loathers of our military and users of our freedom for their purpose to attack and slander our troops in the future.

Look at this that is planned for a future protest! GRRRRRRR! They will now desecrate yet another War Memorial. One that they contributed to greatly…by adding thousands more names on the wall by their by their protests before and Hanoi Jane leading the way back then as she is now! The people elected al Qaeda to control the United States Congress and the left controls the Nazi spit mongers.

March on the Pentagon, Saturday, March 17,2007
On March 17, 2007, the 4th anniversary of the start of the criminal invasion of Iraq, tens of thousands of people from around the country will descend on the Pentagon in a mass demonstration to demand: U.S. Out of Iraq Now! 2007 is the 40th anniversary of the historic 1967 anti-war march to the Pentagon during the Vietnam War. The message of the 1967 march was “From Protest to Resistance,” and marked a turning point in the development of a countrywide mass movement.
In the coming days and weeks, thousands of organizations and individuals will begin mobilizing for the upcoming March on the Pentagon. Organizing committees and transportation centers are being established to bring people to the March on the Pentagon.
The March 17 demonstration will assemble at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (Constitution Gardens) at 12 noon in Washington, D.C.and march to the Pentagon.”

HERE is where thousands of them went to make arrangements to get there, check it out! Rides are lisrted by each State, no stone was left unturned to get this to be a big protest for them.

There was a variety of signs made available to protesters before Saturday’s event. The protest was largely organized by the group United for Peace and Justice, a coalition of 1,400 local and national organizations.
Our troops deserve better, their families deserve our support as well. When people protest like this it weakens our country it does not make it stronger. We should be a united front in this war against Islam. Every American should be supporting our troops, thanking them and appreciating what our Veterans have done. To not do so sides with the enemy, an enemy that worships death and has an agenda to own our Nation and kill of anyone that is an infidel.
By their actions, words and what they protest they are my enemy, my enemy just as much as the terrorists are and no less. The other day a woman walking in front of me had a t-shirt on that said…..”Peace through Music not War”. I hope if the day comes this fucking board is kneeling down in front of a row of hooded terrorists with big knives in their hands to behead her they play the music selection of her choice.

At Least 250 Militants Killed During Battle in Iraq
Fox News
BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S.-backed Iraqi troops on Sunday attacked insurgents allegedly plotting to kill pilgrims at a major Shiite Muslim religious festival, and Iraqi officials estimated some 250 militants died in the daylong battle near Najaf.
Authorities said Iraqi soldiers supported by U.S. aircraft fought all day with a large group of insurgents in the Zaraq area, about 12 miles northeast of the Shiite holy city of Najaf.
Col. Ali Nomas, spokesman for Iraqi security forces in Najaf, said more than 250 corpses had been found. Iraqi army Maj. Gen. Othman al-Ghanemi also spoke of 250 dead but said an exact number would not be released until Monday. He said 10 gunmen had been captured, including one Sudanese.
The U.S. command announced the arrest of 21 suspected terrorists, including an Al Qaeda courier, in a series of raids in Baghdad and Sunni areas north and west of the capital. Three are believed to have close ties to the leadership of Al Qaeda in Iraq, the military said.

And there is also this story I found really interesting. Cracking down on those helping the insurgents……….
Police chief sacks 1,500 officers
TimesOnline

The mayor of Baqouba and 1,500 policemen in Diyala province have been fired in a bid to end the raging violence in the region northeast of Baghdad, the provincial police chief has said. Ghanim al-Qureyshi, who took over police operations in the violent province after his predecessor was sacked last month, said Mayor Khalid Al-Senjeri, a Sunni Muslim, was dismissed over suspicions he was collaborating with Sunni insurgent fighters. Only last week, the mayor was reported kidnapped by Sunni insurgents who blew up his office in Baqouba and stole several new police vehicles. He was released a few days later. Baqouba is the Diyala province capital.

UPDATE:
It is now 2:35 a.m. on Monday and this is the latest post from Yahoo News, the number of kills is now up to 300!
U.S., Iraqi forces kill 300 militants in Najaf
The U.S. military said on Monday it was an ongoing operation so it could not provide any details.

Wild Thing’s comment…….
That mortar fire came from those guys who Al Sadr told us had put all their weapons away. Let’s see, how long was his word good for…. three days, maybe? I am not surprised, these people cannot tell the truth. The Quran teaches them to lie.
Putting a bacon wrapped bullet through their brains is just too good a death for them but it is a start.
Prayers for all the troops and great shooting. I love it, it’s take down time. The Democrats must be really depressed right now. Too bad….NOT…. I don’t feel sorry for them. Bela Pelosi and the Out-House leaders: Rangle, Dangle, Dingle & Bungle and their enforcer, Henry Whacksman were getting ready to go through the de-funding motions.
Instead, they got the first nail in their two-year coffin! LOL
Open their eyes, give ’em bloody hell, brave troops, and God Bless You!!

Death Squad Leaders Flee Baghdad Ahead of Troop Surge, Former Iraqi Official Says
Fox News
According to Fox News, Death squad leaders have fled Baghdad to evade capture or killing by U.S. and Iraqi forces before the start of the troop “surge” and security crackdown in the capital.
A former senior Iraqi minister said most of the leaders loyal to Muqtada al-Sadr, the radical anti-American cleric, had gone into hiding in Iran.
Among those said to have fled is Abu Deraa, theShiite militia leader whose appetite for sectarian savagery has been compared to that of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, who was killed last year.

The Former minister who did not want to be named, said that Prime Minster Nouri Al-Maliki had encouraged them to leave Baghdad. He further stated that weapons belonging to the Mahdi Army have been hidden inside the Iraqi Interior Ministry to avoid confiscation.

Maliki said last week: “I know that senior criminals have left Baghdad, others have left the country. This is good — this shows that our message is being taken seriously.”

The flight from Baghdad could impede American plans to target the leaders of death squads.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
Is Prime Minster Nouri Al-Maliki helping these death squad leaders leave or what????

Hillary Clinton Sings National Anthem

You will have to turn the volume up to hear Hillary sing. Not that we have to have someone that can sing to be President. I just hope her success in her run for the White House will be as non-existent as her ability to stay on key.

The top photo of Kerry looks like he is trying to get Harry Reid to tell him he loves him again. Quite a little cast of Arabs and Kerry. I wish this guy would just go for a ride in Ted Kennedy’s car.

Dutch Iraqi suspect flown to US
Sunday, 28 January 2007
BBC
Dutch authorities say an Iraqi-born Dutch citizen, suspected of plotting attacks on American forces in Iraq, has been extradited to the United States. Wesam al-Delaema was put on a plane and flown to an undisclosed location in the US after losing his final appeal against extradition in December.
He is set to become the first suspect tried in a US court for allegedly plotting attacks on US forces in Iraq.

Mr Delaema denies charges of “possessing a destructive device”.

Authorities say the evidence against him includes a videotape he made of Iraqi insurgents preparing a roadside bomb.
In Dutch court hearings, he argued that he was kidnapped and forced to make the video on pain of death.
Unknown destination
Mr Delaema was arrested in May 2005 in the Dutch city of Amersfoort in following a tip from US authorities.
His lawyers have argued that the US has no right to try him. They say they fear he could be tortured and will not get a fair trial.

But a Dutch judge said there was “no reason to believe that the US authorities will not abide by the commitments they have given or… deprive the suspect of his fundamental rights”.

The US has given assurances that he will be tried in a federal court, not by a military commission, and can serve any sentence in the Netherlands.
The charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison.
A Dutch justice ministry spokesman said on Saturday that Mr Delaema was on his way to somewhere in the US.

“Even if I knew where he is headed, I couldn’t say,” he said. “It’s a matter for the US justice department now.”

Wild Thing’s comment………
I am for Wesam al-Delaema serving his sentence while he is dead.

This speech by President Ronald Reagan is awesome!!
Thank you Billy of Billy O’Blog for the video.
