Theodore's World

Please consider the plight of the Americans being held at Pulacharke prison at this moment. It’s been over a year since they’ve been declared completely innocent by the Afghan appeals court, yet they’re still being held. The question is…why? If the Afghans admit that no torture occurred (which they did), that they entered the country legally (which they did), that there was no torture (which they did), then why has the American government turned its back on them?
Put aside the question as to whether or not Jack and his men are active-duty soldiers, because that’s not the question. The question is not whether he had an alleged “fraud conviction” (and that’s not what it was!) The question is–if you were abroad working in a country that signed agreements to honor basic human rights of people working there in order to receive financial assistance–and then you’re falsely arresting of something and thrown in prison for it–wouldn’t you expect your countrymen to take up arms, or pens, or telephones and make sure that the people who are pulling the levers of power would at least be AWARE of this situation?
It would seem to me that if more people were aware of this story something would have been done about it besides trying to brush it under the rug.
Wouldn’t your friends and family–if you were arrested under circumstances like these in a foreign country–demand that something be done about it?
Well it’s time the American people did so on behalf of the Americans being held at Pulacharke. Certainly Karzai with all of the languages he speaks understands English!
It’s time to turn up the heat on all our elected representatives, because this absolutely should not stand. How on earth can someone remain in detention–remain in prison–after they’ve been declared innocent by the country where they’re being held? This whole affair is so convoluted it’s beyond description, and it defies REASON!
Contact your representatives and ask them why Idema, Bennett and Caraballo are STILL being held at Pulacharke when they were all declared innocent by the Afghans since at least December of last year.
We should make it clear that we know what has gone on here and that it’s an outrage and all men from TF Sabre/7 should be released, exonerated, their names cleared. And we should be also pushing for a Congressional investigation as to who was involved, the how and the why. Nobody fighting in Afghanistan or Iraq should EVER have to worry about being hung out to dry like this by a government that is employing stalinist tactics and turning its back on all the freedoms and rights that have been provided and guaranteed us by our founding documents and the blood of our forefathers, many of whom are laying at Arlington cemetary–as well as old standards which all men in uniform think they have as safeguards such as the Geneva Conventions. Are we to apply the Geneva Conventions to terrorists to whom these safeguards don’t apply and ignore them for our men in uniform for whom they were written???
If so, we’re setting ourselves up for FAILURE in this TERROR WAR.
This is the “Free Jack” campaign.
To join the campaign, email me and tell me you want to join the Free Jack Idema blogburst. You will be added to the blogroll and I’ll send you the html code to put up for that week in case you’re pressed for time and can’t put something together…or you can write your own.
We will be blogging on this every Wednesday until he and his team are released, and when they are, we’ll be blogging about a congressional hearing.
I will maintain an email list, and will email you the post of the week along with a picture (if there is one for that week) to host at your blog.
Join the fight. No American should ever have to worry about ending up in this predicament ever again. But first, we must make sure they get home safely and in one piece.
Fidelis ad urnam.

Wild Thing’s comment………
America did what it had to do and so did Jack Idema and his men. The enemy counted on America to be passive and they counted wrong. They counted on weakness and apathy, because the left in the U.S.A. has a strong voice thanks to the media and giving voice to the screaming meanies and liars in our Government the socialist lefties their voice was what the terrorists counted on. But once again they, the terrorists counted wrong. Men and women in our military and men like Jack Idema and his men did what was necessary to go after Osama and his followers. Idema was successful at what he did, but now he needs to be backed up. He needs for our government to let him be free. He has been declared innocent more then once. But our government seems to feel that it would make too much bad press IMO to let Jack be free. So he waits and waits as a prisoner declared innocent for his own country to allow him to be free.

Executed gang leader’s supporters say he deserves a statesman’s funeral
Can you believe it? Yes I know what else should we expect?!!?
SF (AP)…………………..
“The argument over whether convicted killer Stanley Tookie Williams was a man of peace or a death-row con artist raged on after his execution Tuesday, with supporters announcing they would give him a funeral “befitting a statesman.”
Tookie and his feelings about killing people………………….( from NY Daily News)

“After Williams blasted a football-sized hole in Albert Owens’ back as he lay face-down on the floor of the 7-Eleven where he worked, the gang leader laughed about the “gurgling” noises the 26-year-old divorced father of two made as he died, according to trial testimony.
“And after Williams gunned down Yen-I Yang, 76, his wife, Tsai-Shai, 63, and their daughter, Yee-Chen Lin, 43, when he robbed their family-run motel, he bragged of killing “Buddha-heads,” according to his pals’ testimony.”

Wild Thing’s comment…………….
Here ya go Tookie, a Stateman’s funeral just for you!

My name is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
and I am an idiot. I am a Holocaust denier
and my plan is to relocate an entire nation
to another continent! Oh and did I tell you
I am also a terrorist and I am in charge of
the world’s newest
nuclear state!

Here is the article by Mark Steyn…….“But seriously folks, this clown is dangerous”

On Thursday, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran, who recently called for Israel to be wiped off the map, moderated his position. In a spirit of statesmanlike compromise, he now wants Israel wiped off the map of the Middle East and wiped on to the map of Europe.

Now take a look at this bull at Reuters………” Iran’s Ahmadinejad casts doubt on Holocaust”

TEHRAN (Reuters) – Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Thursday expressed doubt the Holocaust took place and suggested the Jewish state of Israel be moved to Europe.

Ahmadinejad was quoted by IRNA [from a news conference he gave in the Saudi Arabian city of Mecca] as saying: “Some European countries insist on saying that Hitler killed millions of innocent Jews in furnaces and they insist on it to the extent that if anyone proves something contrary to that they condemn that person and throw them in jail.
Wild Thing’s comment……
The leaders of the world need to address this vile piece of crap with meaningful actions and more than words of disbelief or condemnation! These evil remarks in blatant disregard of documented history is nothing new of course coming from the kind of person that Ahmadinejad is himself and the kind of people that he represents.
Turning the other cheek does not apply when a leader of any country spouts this kind of hate and war talk. This so called man is dangerous, to America, to Israel and to the entire world.
I ask where is the outrage? Sure we know he is full of it, sure we know he is minus many crayons in his box.But this kind of verbiage is dangerous. It is a call to those that agree with his hate mongering of Jews and anytime that happens it can never be acceptable, it can never be fluffed off as a ” there he goes again.” moment in time.
This ass is asking for it big time and I for one am hoping he gets it right between his beety eyes.

I saw this at Beth’s MVRWC this morning and absolutely have to make it first post back from the world of sleeping and coughing.

Israeli soldiers stand guard at Qalandiya checkpoint,
the main crossing between Jerusalem and the
West Bank city of Ramallah on December 9, 2005.
(Ammar Awad/Reuters)

Ok, so you are a photographer, and your job for the day is to capture the cruelty of an Israeli checkpoint leading into Jerusalem. You show up, but nothing much is really happening. So do you pack it in and call your boss to tell him there wasn’t any cruelty to record today?

Please continue on reading here…………….Abba Gav……Thank you Abba Gav!!
And a Thanks Hat Tip to MVRWC
Wild Thing’s comment…….. Reuters is disgusting how they intentionally attack our American Troops, also the IDF……………..anyone that is fighting terrorists! They might as well call themselves allah mohammad Reuters for pete’s sake! They can’t even do it in a sly way, no, they do it right out in the open, big as life…..hey everyone look how terrible the troops are treating the enemy. Look how mean the IDF is to the Hamas etc. Look how the Amerian troops just aren’t nice to the insurgents…..poor thang’s those insurgents. SHEESH!
This is not new for Reuters, photo after photo they do their vile slant on the troops from America and the IDF and if you notice they seem to love those that are pro terrorists i.e. Howard Dean, Kerry etc. …………..all you have to do is read reuters comments with the photos they have, they speak volumes of hugging up to the terrorists.

Joshua Sperling received a card from an apparent well wisher. Sent by a child, perhaps, or an adult wanting to make it look like a child sent it.
The outside of the card……………….

Who is Joshua Sperling? He is a U.S. soldier that is at Walter Reed Hospital recovering from a gunshot wound he received in Ramadi, Iraq.

How kind, someone had taken the time to write one of our wounded soldiers a card. But this card was not like any other card. This card carried a DEATH WISH for Joshua Sperling!!! Apparently the envelope wasn’t kept so the origin of the card is unknown.I don’t believe that!!!! I think they very much have the envelope and just do not want to tell the John Q Public just who it is that sent the card, or one of us just might show up on the freaks doorstep with a ticket to Gitmo for him/’her/or the kid! (or worse if I had my wish answered for this vile, evil person.
The inside of the card…………………………………….

I am aware no one has said that it was sent by a Democrat, BUT GIVE ME A FREAKEN BREAK here!!!! Do you know of any Republican that has protested the war and the soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital??? OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER IN ANY PROTEST GROUPS ? HELL NO !!!!
So I say a Democrat, a sleazy low life, mother!#$%^& Democrat is there any other kind?????? I think NOT! THere must be a special place in HELL for this kind of person to do something like this.
To send a lot of cards……bundle multiple cards in one big manilla envelope and send them to the Red Cross office and they will distribute them. Mail to:
Red Cross

Dems Back Saddam Hussein in New Poll
Article in NewsMax HERE
Article in Fox News HERE
Poll Results located Here in pdf format.
Wild Thing’s comment………
How many people have to die before the Dems see how evil they themselves truly are? I can tell you it is not only the politicians that feel the way this vote went. There are two people where I work that feel we deserved what happened on 9-11. There is a third person at work that has said ” we should have left Saddam alone, everything was much better when he was in charge in Iraq.” After comments like that and said right to my face there is’t much more that can shock me about how Dems think. They want Bush and America to go down no matter what it takes.
This also explains why they disgraced our country and did nothing under Clinton while 800,000 Rwandans were massacred in just 3 months. This explains also their lack of concern regarding the 2 million massacred in SE Asia when we actually listened to these selfish morons and withdrew from Vietnam. They look the other way while Iran develops nuclear capability.

There is an excellent post about this at Something….and Half of Something

By Staff Sgt. Carmen Burgess
November 28, 2005
“Because of you and your fellow Soldiers, 50 million formerly oppressed people are now free,” Secretary of the Army Francis Harvey tells Soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Division Nov. 23.
More of the story here
After Murtha comment today ( he sure has a problem of not being able to shut up). I went to visit Jack’s Army Blog. And saw this story above. Thank you and thank you 3rd Infantry Division for all you do.

.
Then over at Department of Defense News they were sharing about Sky Soldiers being honored in Afghanistan.

U.S. Army Gen. John Abizaid, U.S. Central Command commander, congratulates Staff Sgt. Matthew Blaskowski, Chosen Company, 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment (Airborne) on receiving the Silver Star for gallantry in combat during a fire fight May 3, 2005, in Zabul Province, Afghanistan. The ceremony was held Nov. 30, 2005, at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan. U.S. Army photo by Spc. Jon Arguello
Three Silver Stars and three Purple Hearts were presented to the soldiers for actions taken and injuries sustained during Operation Enduring Freedom VI. This company killed about 40 of the bad guys during the operation cited in the awards.

What’s in the News??

Michael Moore told a college audience he absolutely does not own any Halliburton stock – or any other stock. Naughty naughty Michael, guess what Peter Schweizer in the best-seller book “Do As I Say (Not As I Do).” There’s just one problem with that denial. Schweizer’s got proof.”
Notes taken from various write ups online about this Book by Schweizer
“Michael Moore owns tens of thousands of shares in Hallibuton – including nearly 2,000 shares of Boeing, nearly 1,000 of Sonoco, more than 4,000 of Best Foods, more than 3,000 of Eli Lilly, more than 8,000 of Bank One and more than 2,000 of Halliburton, the company most vilified by Moore in “Fahrenheit 9/11.”
Moore’s own signed Schedule D declaring his capital gains and losses where his stock ownership is listed, it’s emblazoned on the cover of Peter Schweizer’s new book………….

“Using IRS records, real estate transactions, court depositions, news reports, financial disclosures, and their own statements, he brings to light a stunning record of shameless hypocrisy. Critics of capitalism and corporate enterprise frequently invest in companies they denounce. Those who believe the rich need to pay more in taxes prove especially adept in avoiding taxes themselves. Those who espouse strict environmental regulations work vigorously to sidestep them when it comes to their own businesses and properties. Those who are strong proponents of affirmative action rarely practiced it — and some have abysmal records when it comes to hiring minorities. Advocates of gun control have no problem making sure than an arsenal of weapons is available to protect them from dangerous criminals.
“Much of what follows,” writes Schweizer in his introduction, “will strike many people as a revelation precisely because liberal hypocrisy gets a big fat pass from the liberal press, which fails to subject prominent liberals to the kind of intense personal scrutiny that is commonly meted out to conservatives.”

Here are some other examples from Schweizser’s book:

“House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who proclaims her support for unions, yet the luxury resort, the vineyard and the restaurants she partly owns are strictly non-union. While she advocates tough new laws enforcing environmental regulations on the private sector, the exclusive country club she partly owns failed to comply with existing environmental regulations for the past eight years – including a failure to protect endangered species. “

“Barbara Streisand is another proponent of environmentalism, yet she drives an SUV, lives in a mansion and has a $22,000 annual water bill. In the past, she has driven to appointments in Beverly Hills in a motor home because of her aversion to using public bathrooms.”

“Ralph Nader plays the role of the citizen avenger – the populist uninterested in wealth and materialism, pretending to live in a modest apartment. In fact, he lives in fancy homes registered in the names of his siblings.”

“Hillary Clinton supports the right of thirteen-year-old girls to have abortions without parental consent — yet she forbade thirteen-year-old Chelsea to pierce her ears and enrolled her in a school that would not distribute condoms to minors.”

“Al Franken habitually calls conservatives “liars” and “mean and nasty” — yet as a writer for Saturday Night Live he penned jokes and skits so mean-spirited they appalled even his colleagues, and he uses brazen lies for his bestselling books all the time.”

“Kennedy has introduced dozens of pieces of legislation over the years to encourage alternative energy sources. But he helped block the Cape Wind Project — an effort to provide clean energy for thousands of homes on Cape Cod — because the project would be built in one of the family’s favorite sailing and yachting areas.”

“Ted Kennedy favors racial set-asides on federal contracts — but when it came to his own investment in an entire city block of Washington, DC, he got his political friends to help him waive an affirmative action set-aside.”

“Princeton “ethics” professor Peter Singer crusades for euthanasia for the severely disabled and terminally ill. But when it comes to his own mother, he operates according to more humane principles (fortunately for her).”

“Moore also relentlessly exposes those who fail to meet his standards of racial fairness and equality. So, of the 134 producers, editors, cinematographers, composers, and production coordinators Moore he hired to work on his many movies, how many do you think were black?”

Wild Thing’s comment………. Nothing new to us bloggers, but it sure is great when someone writes a book and does have proof of what we already know about the lefties……………they are liars, fakes and frauds. Not only in politics, but in their personal lives. This ia a fabulous book and one I will make sure I have on the coffee table when my socialist brother in law and his socialist girlfriend (she came here from France 20 years ago) come over t our house. Yes they both hate the rich, hate America and they think Bush is a war criminal. Oh I could go on, but I would only spoil my morning coffee.

Sit back, put your feet up, pour a cup of coffee or open a cold one ………..Wild Thing is in the ring……

I have posted before how I felt about this, I have posted in forums, starting in 1997 when I got my first computer during the Clinton’s reign of terror. I have posted about it at my website and also a few times before on my Blog. And once again I am going to say this, scream this from the rooftops and hammer it in to anyone that will listen.
Republicans STOP Kissing up to the Democrats! Stop beginning every remark on political talk shows, in interviews etc. how so and so ( a Democrat, a Terrorcrat) is your friend. STOP pointing out his or her better qualities right before you disagree with them. STOP and STOP it NOW!
By doing this you weaken your argument, you cater to them in the worst way and it never is reciprocated!
On Wednesday ( Nov.30th,2005) Ann Coulter wrote about exactly what I have been talking about for years! Her column is in regards to Democratic Rep. John Murtha , when he called for the withdrawal of American troops in the middle of the war.

“Republicans immediately leapt to action by calling Murtha a war hero, a patriot and a great American.”- Ann Coulter

She also mentions this

….”I’ve never heard a single liberal preface attacks on Oliver North with a recitation of North’s magnificent service as a Marine. And unlike Murtha, who refuses to release his medical records showing he was entitled to his two Purple Hearts, we know what North did. (These Democrat military veterans are hardly shrinking violets when it comes to citing their medals, but they get awfully squeamish when pressed for details.) “

Please read her article below at the end of my rant because she is right on target!!!
I know all the excuse as to why the Republicans do this. Yep, so many times in fact that my ears get hot just thinking about it, hot with anger! OH yes, it is because they want to try to work together, they do not want to make enemies of the left in case they want their vote on something in the future. Sheesh! How lame is that??!! Pretty darn lame if you ask me. You know the I’ll scratch your back if you scrath mine thang’ ! Well guess what!!! The Democrats NEVER return the back scratching! Look how they have treated President Bush since he became President. They are still angry about the chad count from the first election. They call him Mr. and NEVER President!
The Republicans and I am including our President and VP on this one, they all begin their statements ahout Murtha with what a hero he was. Ladies and gentlemen freaken evil himself, HITLER, enlisted in the German army and saw four years of front-line service during which he was wounded several times and decorated for bravery twice. Now if you think this Wild Thing would sit still for someone referring to Hitler as a War Hero, as a good man because he did a swell job in the Military you have got to be kidding.

“The Americans are not there. They’re not in Baghdad. There are no troops there. Never. They’re not at all.”-April7,2003
I am glad when a Terrocrat ( Democrat) does not like me. It is a compliment! It means I am on the right track and getting to them. I might sit here at my computer and cry because they might have my feelings hurt, but by golly I sure as heck don’t pull back and rethink my next words to them. It makes me stronger then I was before. NOW that is what I want in my politicians. NOT appeasment, NOT surrender, and sure as hell NOT patting the enemy on the back and saying………….” My friend so and so”………….or ” He is a good man, or she is a good women and has served this counrty but we just differ on some things.” Can you imagine if our VP Cheney or President Bush would have lambasted Murtha and anyone else that spoke out about bringing our troops home now. Gave them hell for it and took a stand for our troops in no uncertain terms! I mean the President is their Commander in Chief, their leader just as he is our President! Words mean something and in politics they speak volumes as to how strong a person is and what they will tolerate!

“Tolerance is a virtue of a man without convictions.”
-G.K.Chesterton

Think about this, our men and women serving now have their lives on the line every day, every hour they are in danger with all those IED”s and insurgents our there. And when I hear a Republican politican and he or she can’t be strong and take a stand for what is right it makes me sick to see such weakness. The Terrocrats have treated President Bush and VP Cheney as though they are in THEIR White House. They have treated them in word and deed as though Bush and Cheney and the houses being in the Republican majority are squatters.
Think about this too, how many of us worked hard toward getting Bush elected both times. How many?? LOTS! And I bet you had people attacking you too when you held a sign up for Bush or our troops, or posted on forums where liberals swormed like bees waiting to attack you. But we all kept on, kept the good fight and we did it as our part to take America back from the left. WE stood strong in the face of the enemy. OK, so once we got our people elected in the Senate, Congress and White House we should be able to sit back and watch THEM fight for us and for America and for our Military. Right? Right!

Below is Ann’s Coulter’s column….
