Blackwater = The new Republican Guard
10.30.07 (2:16 pm)   [edit]
I would love to employed by the Bush admininstation. You, get to torture people, GOP pass a bill, retroactiving torture the day it started. Kill civilians get immunity. What ever happened to" "In Iraq, we are helping the long suffering people of that country to build a decent and democratic society at the center of the Middle East. Together we are transforming a place of torture chambers and mass graves into a nation of laws and free institutions." I wonder how the Iraqis feel about this Blackwater incident, kill our people with out reason, and Blackwater gets immunity. This Blackwater incident just gave the insurugents a new recuriting tool.
 
Explosive charge blows up in US's face
10.28.07 (8:29 am)   [edit]
WASHINGTON - When the United States military command accused the Iranian Quds Force in January of providing the armor-piercing EFPs (explosively formed penetrators) that were killing US troops, it knew that Iraqi machine shops had been producing their own EFPs for years, a review of the historical record of evidence on EFPs in Iraq shows. The record also shows that the US command had considerable evidence that the Mahdi Army of Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr [Blocked Ads] had received the technology and the training on how to use it from Hezbollah, rather than Iran. The command, operating under close White House supervision, chose to deny these facts in making the dramatic accusation that became the main rationale for the present aggressive US stance toward Iran. Although the George W Bush administration initially limited the accusation to the Quds Force, it has recently begun to assert that top officials of the Iranian regime are responsible for arms that are killing US troops. British and US officials observed from the beginning that the EFPs being used in Iraq closely resembled the ones used by Hezbollah against Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, both in their design and the techniques for using them. Hezbollah was known as the world's most knowledgeable specialists in EFP manufacture and use, having perfected this during the 1990s in the military struggle with Israeli forces in Lebanon. It was widely recognized that it was Hezbollah that had passed on the expertise to Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups after the second Intifada began in 2000. US intelligence also knew that Hezbollah was conducting the training of Mahdi Army militants on EFPs. In August 2005, Newsday published a report from correspondent Mohammed Bazzi that Shi'ite fighters had begun in early 2005 to copy Hezbollah techniques for building the bombs, as well as for carrying out roadside ambushes, citing both Iraqi and Lebanese officials. In late November 2006, a senior intelligence official told both CNN and the New York Times that Hezbollah troops had trained as many as 2,000 Mahdi Army fighters in Lebanon. The fact that the Mahdi Army's major military connection has always been with Hezbollah rather than Iran would also explain the presence in Iraq of the PRG-29, a shoulder-fired anti-armor weapon. Although US military briefers identified it last February as being Iranian-made, the RPG-29 is not manufactured by Iran but by the Russian Federation. According to the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz, RPG-29s were imported from Russia by Syria, then passed on to Hezbollah, which used them with devastating effectiveness against Israeli forces in the 2006 war. According to a June 2004 report on the well-informed military website Strategypage.com, RPG-29s were already turning up in Iraq, "apparently smuggled across the Syrian border". The earliest EFPs appearing in Iraq in 2004 were so professionally made that they were probably constructed by Hezbollah specialists, according to a detailed account by British expert Michael Knights in Jane's Intelligence Review last year. By late 2005, however, the British command had already found clear evidence that the Iraqi Shi'ites themselves were manufacturing their own EFPs. British Army Major General J B Dutton told reporters in November 2005 that the bombs were of varying degrees of sophistication. Some of the EFPs required a "reasonably sophisticated factory", he said, while others required only a simple workshop, which he observed, could only mean that some of them were being made inside Iraq. After British convoys in Maysan province were attacked by a series of EFP bombings in late May 2006, Knights recounts, British forces discovered a factory making them in Majar al-Kabir north of Basra in June. In addition, the US military also had its own forensic evidence by the autumn of 2006 that EFPs used against its vehicles had been manufactured in Iraq, according to Knights. He cites photographic evidence of EFP strikes on US armored vehicles that "typically shows a mixture of clean penetrations from fully-formed EFP and spattering ..." That pattern reflected the fact that the locally made EFPs were imperfect, some of them forming the required shape to penetrate but some of them failing to do so. Then US troops began finding EFP factories. Journalist Andrew Cockburn reported in the Los Angeles Times in mid-February that US troops had raided a Baghdad machine shop in November 2006 and discovered "a pile of copper discs, five inches in diameter, stamped out as part of what was clearly an ongoing order". In a report on February 23, NBC Baghdad correspondent Jane Arraf quoted "senior military officials" as saying that US forces had "been finding an increasing number of the advanced roadside bombs being not just assembled but manufactured in machine shops here". Nevertheless, the Bush administration decided to put the blame for the EFPs squarely on the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, after Bush agreed in autumn 2006 to target the Quds Force within Iran to make Iranian leaders feel vulnerable to US power. The allegedly exclusive Iranian manufacture of EFPs was the administration's only argument for holding the Quds Force responsible for their use against US forces. At the February 11 military briefing presenting the case for this claim, one of the US military officials declared, "The explosive charges used by Iranian agents in Iraq need a special manufacturing process, which is available only in Iran." The briefer insisted that there was no evidence that they were being made in Iraq. That lynchpin of the administration's EFP narrative began to break down almost immediately, however. On February 23, NBC's Arraf confronted Lieutenant General Ray Odierno, who had been out in front in January promoting the new Iranian EFP line, with the information she had obtained from other senior military officials that an increasing number of machine shops manufacturing EFPs had been discovered by US troops. Odierno began to walk the Iranian EFP story back. He said the EFPs had "started to come from Iran", but he admitted "some of the technologies" were "probably being constructed here". The following day, US troops found yet another EFP factory near Baqubah, with copper discs that appeared to be made with a high degree of precision, but which could not be said with any certainty to have originated in Iran. The explosive expert who claimed at the February briefing that EFPs could only be made in Iran was then made available to the New York Times to explain away the new find. Major Marty Weber now backed down from his earlier statement and admitted that there were "copy cat" EFPs being machined in Iraq that looked identical to those allegedly made in Iran to the untrained eye. Weber insisted that such Iraqi-made EFPs had slight imperfections which made them "much less likely to pierce armor". But NBC's Arraf had reported the previous week that a senor military official had confirmed to her that the EFPs made in Iraqi shops were indeed quite able to penetrate US armor. The impact of those weapons "isn't as clean", the official said, but they are "almost as effective" as the best-made EFPs. The idea that only Iranian EFPs penetrate armor would be a surprise to Israeli intelligence, which has reported that EFPs manufactured by Hamas guerrillas in their own machine shops during 2006 had penetrated eight inches of Israeli steel armor in four separate incidents in September and November, according to the Intelligence and Terrorism Center in Tel Aviv. The Arraf story was ignored by the news media, and the Bush administration has continued to assert the Iranian EFP charge as though it had never been questioned. It soon became such an accepted part of the media narrative on Iran and Iraq that the only issue about which reporters bother to ask questions is whether the top leaders of the Iranian government have approved the alleged Quds Force operation. Gareth Porter is an historian and national security policy analyst. His latest book, Perils of Dominance: Imbalance of Power and the Road to War in Vietnam, was published in June 2005. http://www.atimes.com/atimes/... The reason why the administration is pushing Iran is behind all this Iraq EFPS comesdown to PETRODOLLAR WARFARE.
 
Restraining Orders at work Part 7
10.21.07 (3:45 pm)   [edit]
Two new players have enter the drama game at work. These two players appear to be acting on own at this moment in time. They are taking advantage of the situation that "A" has created, to take out those employees they don't like personally. I shall refer to the two new players as "X" and "Y". "X" has the perfect facade, appears to nice and kind toward others, but deep in "X"s heart, "X"s is like Al-qeda full of hate of those "X" dislikes. "Y" is a known for her ablility to play the role of the bad cop. Well, here is how the "X" and "Y" got involved. "X" does'nt like some employees I shall refer to them and "S","T" and "U". So over a years peroid "X" played the role of the good mother, claims to go to church, all the things you expect from a 49 year old women. "X" buys the employees "S","T" and "U" dinner, snacks, and drinks in attempt to gain their trust. However "X" does not like "S","T" and "U". Once "X" feels employees "S","T" and "U" trusts her. "X" turns into Stalin. "X" turns informant, "X" waits for "S","T" and "U" to mess up and lets corporate managers know that employees "S","T" and "U" have messed up. The Corporate managers releases those employees "S","T" and "U" becuase "X" actions. Once the employees "S","T" and "U" have been dismissed. The other employees ask what happen to "S","T" and "U" who ratted them out. This where "Y" comes into play. "Y" talks very loud in an effort to make sure other employees hears what "Y" says. "Y" proclaims that is was "Y" that ratted out "S","T" and "U" in attempt to conceal the real rat which is "X". What "X" and "Y" failed to do was delete the email communcation that was going on between them. An employee not directly invovled in this war at work found the email and alerted all the other employees on what really happened. So now, there is employee "A" who is on a personal crusade to get rid of employees "A" does'nt like. Then you have company who appears to one side the "A" So basically "A" and the company have formed an Alliance. Then there "B" and "C" who are attempting to fight the Alliance. Then their eight other employee who are on side of "B" and "C" but have not gotten directly invovled yet. However, once the lawsuits are filed those employees will be invovled directly. Then you have the other 60 employees who are either being quiet and just waiting for situation to defuse itself, or are sleepers and they are just waiting for the right opportunity to present itself for them to get into act. The intent of the 60 other employees is unknown? Will the 60 stand with "B" and "C" and the other 8 and fight the alliance or will 60 be like "X" and "Y" and take advantage of the situation "A" has created in attempt to get rid of the employees they don't like. Now, that "X" and "Y" who has come into game. The backstabbing is at a new level. Perhaps in the future I shall reveal the key to the letters so you can match names with the letters. If, I choose to reveal the names, I shall reveal the full names of all the major players just so if anyone in world does a name search, they shall know these particualr individuals are trouble.
 
Restraining orders at work part 6
10.20.07 (1:09 am)   [edit]
Well, it appears that "A" has been sucessful in "A" attempt to purge the workforce of those she does'nt like. "A" still does what she wants with no repercussions, everyone else is held acountable expect "A". Just have to wait a few weeks until lawsuits are filed. When these lawsuits get into system it's going open up pandora's box.
 
MMA and BJJ stickers
10.20.07 (12:59 am)   [edit]
All of sudden I see all these people with MMA stickers or BJJ stickers on their cars. When I see the driver get out the car, I look at the driver, and the driver does'nt even look like he trains. No scars of a grappler, no cauliflower ears, legs not shaved. Sometimes, I wonder what are these guys doing doing claiming they represent these MMA or BJJ schools. You people who put these MAA or BJJ stickers on your cars, should know some MMA and BJJ schools don't like each other. You sporting a school sticker on your car, is dangerous cause you are marking yourself as a fighter from that school, and a rival school might want to challenge you.
 
Ann Coulter Jews Need 'Perfecting'
10.11.07 (12:09 pm)   [edit]
Ann Coulter and Jews Need 'Perfecting' Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are a perfect couple. Published: October 11, 2007 12:15 AM ET updated 1:30 PM ET NEW YORK Appearing on Donny Deutsch's CNBC show, "The Big Idea," on Monday night, columnist/author Ann Coulter suggested that the U.S. would be a better place if there weren't any Jewish people and that they needed to "perfect" themselves into -- Christians. http://www.editorandpublisher... Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was speaking to his own nation’s youth, the next generation. He said what his generation has always believed, that is, that Jews must be killed. He stated that the state of Israel, founded on May 14, 1948, must be "wiped off the map." In other words, all Jews must be slain. That is the typical degradation given to Jews by Muslims. Jews are referred to as "Jew-pigs and descendants of monkeys."http://www.americandaily.com/article/9887
 
Spoiled adult worker
10.11.07 (11:46 am)   [edit]
I have to come to the conclusion that a spoiled adult worker will find ways to have their way on job. Sometimes in the game of work you have no choice! Yet, there are some adults whom seem to still find away to have there way. A lot of workers who have a vigina get there way! Women want equal rights in America, but somehow at work, the equal rights pustis out the door. "I'm a women it to heavy for me to carry." Your the man you suppose to carry the heavy package. How are you suppose respond to a statement like that. You can't say anything bad or the women may interpet your response as feminist backlash, and your going to get in trouble. Sometimes, I just want to tell the woman, if you try harder you can carry the package. Think of lifting the package as you giving birth naturally. You just have to try harder! The feminist movement and the combination of political correctness, and business asking for more productivity out of fewer workers in America give the women the advantage in the world of physical work.
 
Discovers day is "White People enslaver day"
10.08.07 (4:49 am)   [edit]
I was talking to some people at church, they refer to Discovers day, as White people enslaver day. Columbus as the white guy who found the new world and his white followers started the enslaving the indians years after the discovery. Then there is Cortés who conquered the Aztec, James Cook who found Hawaii, then the white Americans came and annexed the Hawaiian Kingdom. Ferdinand Magellan conquered some Asians. Robert Clive conquers India, the list goes on.
 
Restraining orders at work part 5
10.05.07 (11:41 pm)   [edit]
Well, at my old job the police came again. However, this time the police came 20 officers strong, some of whom were equiped with AR-15's. 20 officers cars blue lights flahing, 20 officers are needed to serve one restraining order. If 20 officers are needed for one guy, I wonder what would happen if there was a riot. I could just imagine what the airtraffic control tower personal was thinking, What is going on that side of the airport why are cops lights surrounding that facility. This game between the company and one worker versus all the workers, the one worker "A" does'nt like is starting to take a twisted turn.
