POPS Ha Ha Now all he has to do is rehabilitate Churchill from that ghastly slur that Churchill wouldn’t do just about anything to save his people and even western civilization from imminent peril. Powerline. Because in a moralism born of utter naivete, Obama may not yet have figured out that in the heat of battle, in mortal combat, ugly things sometimes happen. Obama Veers Into The Daily Ditch -- Powerline Even if you are an intelligent man, reading Andrew Sullivan can make you stupid. It happened to President Obama this week. At his 100-day press conference, President Obama invoked Churchill rejecting the use of torture for interrogation in the days of the Blitz during World War II. Obama instructed the assembled multitude: I was struck by an article that I was reading the other day talking about the fact that the British during World War II, when London was being bombed to smithereens, had 200 or so detainees.

POPS Obama And Frank: A Farwell To Arms Caucus for Priorities is a campaign of Business Leaders for Sensible Priorities, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Its mission is to “change U.S. budget priorities to reflect a national commitment to education, healthcare, energy independence, job training and deficit reduction — at no additional taxpayer expense — by eliminating funding for unneeded Cold War-era weapons systems.” That will certainly deter a rearming and expansionist Russia, an ambitious China and a dangerous Iran. If Obama wins, the “obsolete Cold War weapons” to be done away with, to Russian and Chinese glee, include the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and the F/A-22 Raptor to replace our aging F-15s, the wings of which are literally falling off. The Raptor can fly to and from Iranian nuclear facilities undetected should the need arise, as it very well may at some point.

POPS The Largest Loss Of Life In Navy SEAL History
Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10. The story is about four U.S. Navy SEALs whose June 2005 mission in northern Afghanistan was to capture or kill a al Qaeda leader known to be in a Taliban stronghold. In less than 24 hours, only one of those Navy SEALs remained alive, Marcus Luttrell. This book is Luttrell's first-person account of that tragic day, the largest loss of life in Navy SEAL history. All thanks to asinine rules of engagement our military personnel are forced to fight under. I couldn't possibly explain this intolerable situation better or with more moral authority than Leading Petty Officer Marcus Luttrell himself For me, it began in Iraq, the first murmurings from the liberal part of the U.S.A. that we were somehow in the wrong; brutal killers, bullying other countries; that we who put our lives on the line for our nation at the behest of our government should somehow be charged with murder for shooting our enemy

POPSWho Counts Among the Dead in Iraq?
As for the civilian toll, no one wants to know the numbers, let alone be held responsible for their consequences. Neither the United States nor the United Kingdom publishes an official report on Iraqi civilian fatalities and casualties. As General Tommy Franks put it: “We don’t do body counts.” Citing concerns about bandwidth scarcity, the U.S. military has further limited the flow of information by blocking troops’ access to YouTube and MySpace. The discrepancy between the Pentagon’s definition of non-mortal wounds and the VA’s higher count led the VA to revise its figure downward from 50,508 in September 2006 to 21,469 non-mortal wounds in November 2006. The Pentagon apparently does not include injuries and accidents from non-combat operations in its lower WIA count. In a matter of two months, 29,000 veterans, mostly from the Iraq war, vanished, presumably to align the VA’s count with the Defense Department’s tighter definition and classification of the wounded.

POPSVideo games make me feel good I think that if they just asked us we would have told them. Then they could have saved their research money. The games I play depend on my mood. If I'm upset I play mortal combat; board I play Sims2, want some mindless fun I play ape escape
