POPSbeta blockers potential to make horrific memories blase. I see this as a potential use for military snipers and assasins, being able to avoid PTSD or emotions that would interfere with carrying out orders.

POPSLearning of the Battle of Oxford paratroopers from the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions. They had to capture the city quickly; the F.B.I. had intelligence that thousands of Klansmen and segregationists from California to Georgia may have set off for Oxford, many of them armed. The first troops to reach Oxford found over 100 wounded federal marshals at the center of campus, 27 of them hit by civilian gunfire. Packs of hundreds of rioters swarmed the city, some holding war dances around burning vehicles. Snipers opened fire on the Army convoys and bricks struck the heads of American soldiers. Black G.I.'s in one convoy were ambushed by white civilians who tried to decapitate them in their open Jeeps with metal pipes.... ...The Army troops restored order to the school and the city, block by block. A girl watched a team of infantrymen under attack on the Oxford town square and, according to a reporter at the scene, wondered aloud, "When are they going to shoot back?"

POPSRachel Maddow guest Dr. Warren Hern discusses climate of political terror in the US Dr. Warren Hern is the head of the Boulder Abortion Clinic, and one of the last doctors in America who still performs late-term abortions . He's lived with death-threats & actual attempts on his life for decades. And the same violent rhetoric from the anti-abortion fringe that spawned a series of homegrown American terrorist snipers and bombers that have killed people and destroyed property is being turned on proponents of healthcare reform in America. Think about it.

POPSBush As The Joker Obama’s predecessor endured 8 Years of Assassination Fascination. Actually, the “Assassinate Bush Chic” began even before the 2000 election, when Craig Kilborn flashed “snipers wanted” under a picture of Bush. So-called “newsmen” like Keith Olbermann repeatedly called the president “a fascist” and “a terrorist.” And Obama supporters can’t handle The Joker and the word “Socialism”? Politics is ugly, and it is often over-the-top but that’s not new. Photoshop happens; it’s a free country. I myself have been photoshopped next to a dancing condom, a commentary on my annoying habit of being a Catholic. Bob Owens amuses himself thusly: Frankly, I don’t get it. One embraces terrorists and madmen, is dedicated to anarchy and the destruction of capitalist society, and sends the population fleeing in horror from his creations. The other is a fictional character played by the late Heath Ledger. http://michellemalkin.com/2009/08/04/how-quickly-they-forget/

POPSI'd like to hear him explain why... why Cheney needed a special, private platoon of snipers and assassins, when there were already trained snipers and assassins in the armed force? Why did Cheney need a special troop that answered only to him? I'll tell you why. The story about them being to assassinate Al Queda operatives was a load of bull. He wanted them to assassinate his political enemies at home. At the very least, it was more military pork; doubling up something that already existed. This time, the right-wing extremist, Michael Ramirez opened the door to some very serious questions with this deluded cartoon.

POPSCruise Ship Fends Off Pirate Attack With Gunfire Six men in a small, white Zodiac-type boat approached the Msc Melody at about 1730 GMT Saturday and opened fire with automatic weapons, Msc Cruises director Domenico Pellegrino said. They retreated after the security officers returned fire and sprayed them with water hoses. The ship continued its journey with its windows darkened. But Saturday's exchange of fire between the Melody and pirates was one of the first reported between pirates and a nonmilitary ship. Civilian shipping and passenger ships have generally avoided arming crewmen or hiring armed security for reasons of safety, liability and compliance with the rules of the different countries where they dock. Pellegrino said the pistols on board the Melody were available to the commander and security agents. He said they were used as a deterrent, "in an emergency operation."

POPSAccused Somali pirate faces life in prison The Americans responsible for this should crawl into a cess pit and rot. This teenager is the prize of the might of American power. Ignore the fact that mining companies stuffed his land; or that foreign fishermen fished out his share of the ocean. How brave and hypocritical thou art, America. Ask why these people hate those who have no respect for them as people, exploit them and then shoot or jail those who complain.

POPSUPDATE: Captain Phillips "I'm Not The Hero, The Military's The Hero" Video http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/?rn=3906861&cl=13016214&ch=4226713&src=news video (2:04) There were no plans for an organized welcome home bash in the rural town at the base of Mount Mansfield. Local officials said they were wanted to check with Phillips and his family before arranging anything. Still, spontaneous excitement was the order of the afternoon once Phillips, 53, returned from his ordeal in the Indian Ocean. "It's really exciting that he's coming home," said 10-year-old Nate King.

POPS American Hero ~ Captain Richard Phillips Snipers on the fantail of the destroyer USS Bainbridge, which was towing the lifeboat with a 100-foot line, opened fire when they "observed the pirates with their heads and shoulders exposed," Gortney said. The captain, widely hailed for giving himself up as a hostage to save his crew and for his valiant escape attempt Friday, was unhurt and safely aboard the USS Boxer. He (Captain Phillips) told his boss, John Reinhart, head of the Maersk Line shipping company, that he wasn't comfortable with the hero label. "'The heroes are the Navy, the Seals, and those that have brought me home.' That was his quote," Reinhart said.

POPSIsraeli Army T-Shirts Mock Gaza Killings This is truly reprehensible. The sentiment displayed on these shirts serves to perpetuate the animosity and hatred these two nations have for each other. Anyone who condones this type of behavior is undermining any chance to seek a peaceful resolution to their differences. Having said that, and judging from past behavior between these two, I don’t believe for a minute that either side truly wants to find peace with each other but to so blatantly display and promote the killing of pregnant women and children is beneath contempt for human life. And there in lies a major problem this world needs to deal with.

POPSGay Snipers Are Out To Ruin Your Family OMG!!! The queers are out to not only ruin the "biblical" definition of marriage, but to hit your pocketbook with costly litigation! Imagine the nerve. Who are these people to demand equal rights? Well, they are your neighbor, the nurse that took care of your dying parent in the hospital, and your friend that sits beside you in church. This is fear mongering plain and simple. It's normal to not understand those desires that are not your own, but intelligent people recognize the differences in us all and celebrate them. The truth of the matter is that our Governor Joe Manchin would never sign legislation giving the equal rights routinely given to heterosexuals who are allowed to marry each other. He knows if he wants to serve another term he would never even think such a thought. It's political suicide in this state.

POPSGaza villages Wiped off the map The parallels between Jack Olsen's book (Silence on Monte Sole) - an account of the annihilation of Italian villagers on Monte Sole at the end of WWII - and Israels attack on Gaza is chilling. In Monte Sole the Nazi's justified collective punishment against the inhabitants of Monte because of the activity of local partisans. They herded women, children, the elderly and sick into houses and shot and bombed them. They installed snipers to shoot anyone who tried to escape the massacre. They destroyed food and water supplies. This movie shows that the same tactics were used on the people of Gaza. Israel should be tried for war crimes.

POPSNazi Israel … Indeed Moshe Feiglin, who won a respectable position on the Likuds’ Knesset list for the upcoming Israeli election is an admirer of Hitler and his superior ideology. In an interview with the Ha’aretz Newspaper in 1995 he described Hitler as a military genius and a great nation builder. “Hitler was an unparallel military genius. Nazism had transformed Germany from a low to a fantastic physical and ideological status. The ragged, trashy youth body turned into a neat and orderly part of society and Germany received an exemplary regime, a proper justice system, and public order. … This was no bunch of thugs. They merely used thugs and homosexuals”. Arnold Toynbee wrote “It was a supreme tragedy that the lesson learnt by them (the Jews) from their encounter with the Nazi German Gentiles should have been, not to eschew but to imitate some of the evil deeds that the Nazis had committed against the Jews.” The whole article is quite shocking to read. :(

POPSTen Green Berets Receive Silver Metal For Afghan Battle Today, Walton and nine of his teammates from Operational Detachment Alpha 3336 of the 3rd Special Forces Group will receive the Silver Star for their heroism in that battle — the highest number of such awards given to the elite troops for a single engagement since the Vietnam War. That chilly morning, Walton’s mind was on his team’s mission: to capture or kill several members of the Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin (HIG) militant group in their stronghold, a village perched in Nuristan’s Shok Valley that was accessible only by pack mule and so remote that Walton said he believed that no U.S. troops, or Soviet ones before them, had ever been there. But as the soldiers, each carrying 60 to 80 pounds of gear, scaled the mountain, they could already spot insurgents running to and fro, they said. As the soldiers drew closer, they saw that many of the mud buildings had holes in the foot-thick walls for snipers.
