DUBAI (Reuters) Article HERE– Al Qaeda has put job advertisements on the Internet asking for supporters to help put together its Web statements and video montages, an Arabic newspaper reported.
The London-based Asharq al-Awsat said on its Web site this week that al Qaeda had “vacant positions” for video production and editing statements, footage and international media coverage about militants in Iraq,the Palestinian territories, Chechnya, and other conflict zones where militants are active.

Al Qaeda supporters widely use the Internet to spread the group’s statements through dozens of Islamist sites where anyone can post messages. Al Qaeda-linked groups also set up their own sites, which frequently have to move after being shut by Internet service providers.

Asharq al-Awsat said the advert did not specify salary amounts, but added: “Every Muslim knows his life is not his, since it belongs to this violated Islamic nation whose blood is being spilled. Nothing should take precedence over this.”

.

Good grief, they want a salary AND 72 Virgins? Talk about greedy and they are not supposed to care about material things.

I am just one of hundreds of thousands that are so very proud of you. Thank you for protecting my Freedom,for all your hard work and dedication to this country. America is the best country to live and you are the reason why.

Please write a letter to the troops. It does make a difference for them to get letters from back home. Details how to do this can be found at SlagleRock’s

Many of you may remember my original Letters To The Troops campaign.
Twice here at the Slaughterhouse I have hosted a drive to generate letters of support for the troops serving abroad.
The first letter project generated 328 letters of support by the deadline, and has generated more letters since then.
This last drive was an attempt to generate 500 or more letters of support for the troops for the holidays.
I am proud to say that the holiday letter project also exceeded its goal of 500. I received 50 letters hosted via the TrackBack to other great blogs. I received 130 letters in the comments of that post. I found more than 25 letters left on other blogs via TrackBack. I received another 251 letters directly in my email which I printed and forwarded. I also recieved 54 Christmas Cards from the classmates of a BlogFriends children. This post has also picked up a few more letters since the original deadline.
I have comrades in arms who have just recently deployed to such sunny locations as Iraq and others who have been in the sandbox for several months.
Bloggers, I urge each and every one of you to write your own letter to the troops overseas. Make it a general open letter to any Soldier, Sailor, Airman or Marine. Keep in mind that the people reading these letters will be both male and female of all ages, ethnic origins and religions. Once your letter is posted, please trackback to this post so that I may find and print your letter. Please direct your readers to this effort as well. Non-bloggers, please leave your open letter of support in the comment section of this post. While it is possible for you to email me your letters, I’d like to see them in the comments so that troops overseas can access and read them online.
I’ve decided to make this an ongoing effort. I have a button posted on the right side of my site for the “Letter Project”. Other Bloggers such as Mamamontezz and Delftsman have also posted this button. Any blogger who is interested is welcome to copy the letter project button and put it up on your site.
Anytime you would like to say thank you to the troops in harms way this is one way to ensure your words are read, I have many military readers and all of my friends who are deployed get regular updates from my site.
Please forward the link to this post to as many people as you can, both Bloggers and non-bloggers.
Let’s keep the letters coming year round.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far!
SlagleRock Out!

I received this poem today from a Vietnam Vet and wanted to share it here. Thank you Don!

Hanoi Jane 
Jane I see, in memory,
With antiaircraft gun,
A stricture in a picture.
Her movies I still shun.
To dissent is why she went.
I don’t buy that at all.
For treason that’s no reason.
Stand her against a wall.

Army Specialist Joe Cornall buys a hot coffee at the Green Beans Cafe trailer, which is next to the Burger King and Subway sandwiches trailers, at Camp Udairi in the Kuwait desert.

“We had a vision, and we knew that this was the future for the Gulf. There are a lot of Americans overseas, and no one was going out there to serve them,” Jon said. “We have hot bar drinks like espresso, café mocha, cappuccino, hot chocolate and chai, which is an ancient Indian recipe of spices in a warm-milk base. Our cold bar drinks are frappes in chocolate and vanilla, as well as mocha. We have all the hot drinks on ice. We serve fresh-baked daily sweets: muffins, doughnuts and cookies.”
Jon said the idea behind his and his brother’s business was and is to serve only military troops in the Gulf region.

“The mission is to put cafes on U.S. military bases and to support operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. We were the only coffee company that wanted to go where no one else was willing to go. We wanted to provide a service that the troops needed,” he said.

The Green Beans Café now has 10 locations throughout the Gulf region. Jon said he and Jason plan to expand as the needs of the troops dictate.
“It’s a double reward. Definitely it’s rewarding when your company becomes profitable, but it’s also rewarding when you know you’re inspiring people. They come to us and say, ‘Thank God you guys are here,’” he said. “We go where the troops go, and if that means going into Baghdad, we are ready. That’s our job.”

CAMP AS SAYLIYAH, Qatar – The wind is blowing hot and hard. The desert sand pollutes the air. It’s a starry night, but no one seems to notice.
Their eyes are hard and focused. Their camouflage pants are covered in sand, and their foreheads with small beads of sweat. Their concentration is hard to break. It is that of a warrior – that of a United States Marine working diligently to earn a “tan belt” in the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program. Read more HERE

Former FBI Director Louis Freeh has written a book detailing his career, including his eight years as head of the bureau during the Clinton administration – where he describes his frustration over the fact that Bill Clinton wouldn’t take his warnings about the terrorist threat seriously.
Freeh’s book – due out in October and titled “My FBI: Bringing Down the Mafia, Investigating Bill Clinton, and Waging War on Terror” – promises to be the first in-depth account by the nation’s former top cop of his days presiding over FBI investigations into one Clinton scandal after another.

Freeh says the former president let down the American people and the families of victims of the Khobar Towers terror attack in Saudi Arabia. After promising to bring to justice those responsible for the bombing that killed 19 and injured hundreds, Freeh says Clinton refused to personally ask Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah to allow the FBI to question bombing suspects the kingdom had in custody – the only way the bureau could secure the interviews, according to Freeh. Freeh writes in the book, “Bill Clinton raised the subject only to tell the crown prince that he understood the Saudis’ reluctance to cooperate and then he hit Abdullah up for a contribution to the Clinton Presidential Library.” Says Freeh, “That’s a fact that I am reporting.”

A spokesman for ex-President Clinton attacked a new book by former FBI director Louis Freeh that’s sharply critical of Clinton’s handling of the war on terrorism, calling Freeh “a man who’s desperate to clear his name.” More at NewsMax
Here is a list of Louis Freeh’s campaign contributions
Short list of Clinton’s Legacy of Crime
– The only president ever impeached on grounds of personal malfeasance
– Most number of convictions and guilty pleas by friends and associates*
– Most number of cabinet officials to come under criminal investigation
– Most number of witnesses to flee country or refuse to testify
– Most number of witnesses to die suddenly
– First president sued for sexual harassment.
– First president accused of rape.
– First first lady to come under criminal investigation
– Largest criminal plea agreement in an illegal campaign contribution case
– First president to establish a legal defense fund.
– First president to be held in contempt of court
– Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions
– Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions from abroad
– First president disbarred from the US Supreme Court and a state court
As for me I welcome the book, but have to wonder why it took Freeh so long to come out with it. Watch the miserable press do everything they can to discredit Freeh as well. I always thought that Louis Freeh was a terrible director of the FBI. What did he ever do about all those FBI files that Hillary had? The only reason the Clintons appointed him was because they thought he could be easily tricked or at least held at bay.
The Clinton’s of course will go into their “deny, deflect and defame” mode over this book. I suggest that Freeh stay out of Marcy Park and small airplanes.
Unfortunately we’re only going to be rid of the Clintons when God Himself personally drop-kicks them both through the portals of Hell.

Signs like this one have been posted in all the Iraqi Army compound port-a-potties. Initially there were no signs, but over a short period of time, it was determined something had to be done.
I saw it at Lost in Iraq

Washington, D.C. – House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement in recognition of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which begins today:

“As Muslims around the world recognize the holy month of Ramadan, we take this opportunity to celebrate the contributions of millions of Muslim Americans. They enrich our country while deepening America’s respect for Muslims here at home and around the world. As they observe this sacred month, they honor Islam’s teachings of self-discipline, compassion and commitment to family.
“As we celebrate Ramadan, we are reminded that we are a country of many faiths, and as such, we must continue to work to promote religious tolerance; our diversity as a nation is one of our greatest strengths.”

This is really bugging me so I have to do one more post about Piglet and what the Muslims are getting rid of…….
Along with Winnie the Pooh, some British schools have also removed or restricted the following “anti-Muslim” children’s books…
The Three Little Pigs
Charlottes Web
Babe – The Sheep-pig

Olivia Saves the Circus

Muslim efforts to impose Islamic standards are not confined to the United Kingdom. Even in Orlando, Florida, a Christian employee of a business owned by a Muslim was fired for eating a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich.
