TB - brought to you by NAFTA

"The percentage of positive cases is believed to be high because many of the plant's employees come from other countries where the disease may be more prevalent, said agency spokesman Thom Berry."

Let's translate from the Orweillian truthspeak. What "because many of the plant's employees come from other countries where the disease may be more prevalent" actually means is "a new American", no that's not it, maybe an "eventual American working here without all the i's dotted and t's crossed"

HALLELUJAH! For the first time since Baghdad fell, our military in Iraq has a comprehensive, integrated plan to defeat our enemies. Until now, our efforts have always been piecemeal, stop-start affairs. Even our success in the Second Battle of Fallujah in 2004 went unexploited.

Smugglers set fires at border areas

{Ok, now they have done it - now Al Gore will have to come out in favor of the fence to save the planet.}

http://insider.washingtontimes.com/articles/normal.php?StoryID=20070619-121814-2527r

U.S. Border Patrol agents seeking to secure the nation's border in some of the country's most pristine national forests are being targeted by illegal aliens, who are using intentionally set fires to burn agents out of observation posts and patrol routes.

In the Coronado National Forest in Arizona, with 60 miles of land along the U.S.-Mexico border, U.S. Forest Service firefighters sent in to battle fires or clear wild-land fire areas are required to be escorted by armed law-enforcement officers.

father of scientific climatology, considers global warming a bunch of hooey

{Leave it to an 87 year old Climatologists to call it like it is. Where are we going to be when these guys are gone and the hippies are the Professor Emeritus' of the world.}

http://www.madison.com/tct/mad/topstories/197613

Key passages:

Reid Bryson, known as the father of scientific climatology, considers global warming a bunch of hooey.

"There is a lot of money to be made in this," he added. "If you want to be an eminent scientist you have to have a lot of grad students and a lot of grants. You can't get grants unless you say, 'Oh global warming, yes, yes, carbon dioxide.'"

Bryson didn't see Al Gore's movie about global warming, "An Inconvenient Truth." "Don't make me throw up," he said. "It is not science. It is not true."

Pace is out - another victory for spineless liberal Democrats over a spineless White House

http://insider.washingtontimes.com/articles/normal.php?StoryID=20070616-121131-5604r

Key passages:

A Vietnam veteran, Gen. Pace indicated in his Norfolk comments that his experience in that war colored his decision not to quit voluntarily.

"The other piece for me personally was that some 40 years ago I left some guys on the battlefield in Vietnam who lost their lives following Second Lieutenant Pace," he said. "And I promised myself then that I will serve this country until I was no longer needed -- that it's not my decision. I need to be told that I'm done.

"I've been told I'm done."

Gen. Pace confirmed that Mr. Gates had told him he preferred to keep him as chairman but in mid-May began to see signs of opposition on Capitol Hill.

"This is a man who thinks nothing of himself. He has always put the military first," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said. "The president was very reluctant to accept the recommendation of the secretary of defense, but he respects [Mr. Gates] and agrees with his assessment."

This is sickening to me, when you give a bum like George Tenant the Medal of Freedom, and go to the mattresses over AG Gonzalez, but at the first sign of anything being "contentious" the White House throws an honorable and decent Man under the bus, a Man that that has served with distinction and honor for 40 years. Notice how the WH spokesgal puts this on SecDef Gates.

As Sarge would say in "Beetle Bailey" this is a bunch of &$@#%.

Email the Marines - I am not asking.

Great interview at BlackFive with a Marine Colonel in Anbar province. Worth reading the whole interview here. His major request was that You drop an email to express your support for the Marines. As the Colonel mentioned, they watch the same news we do, I can't imagine how difficult it would be to do what they do and watch this propaganda.

Reid attacks General Petraeus

This loser knows no lows, Harry Reid couldn't carry Gen. Petraueus' jock but yet here he is taking shots at the most important Commander in the war. Reid and his ilk can't wait for the US to lose in Iraq, they are practically salivating over it.

Pakistan's soldiers 'huddling in their bases' in tribal regions

The Pakistani army is paralysed by the growing Taliban threat and some retired officers are covertly aiding the militants, according to a former CIA officer.

Soldiers posted to Waziristan, a tribal area that hosts an estimated 2,000 al-Qaida fighters, are "huddling in their bases, doing nothing", said Art Keller, a CIA case officer who was posted to Pakistan last year.

"Their approach was to pretend that nothing was wrong because any other approach would reveal that they were unwilling and unable to do anything about Talibanisation," said Mr Keller, who has visited Waziristan.

Huckabee looks to break from second-tier pack

Mike Huckabee has been stellar in the debates, he's one of those guys that the more people see of him the better he is going to do. I am a Duncan Hunter man right now, but Huckabee is right there.

Best Quote:

"One of the things that is frustrating is there's more attention on Britney Spears getting out of a car without underwear than who's going to be the next president," Huckabee told reporters.

Bookmark the counterterrorismblog.org - great resource

They have a link to a .pdf about the attempted terrorist attack in Rockford, IL. (remember that one?) You won't if the media has it's way. They've done a great job of 9-11 so far-is there even footage of 9-11 still in existence? , so how would anyone remember Rockford, Seattle, Ft Dix, San Francisco, LAX, JFK, Sears Tower, Salt Lake City, Chapel Hill, NC………...

Military officers now targets on Hill (aka Liberals hate the military)

Unfortunately this is what happens when:
1. The administration cedes leadership and self neuters themselves - I would think Gen Pace deserves a more rigorous defense than AG Gonzalez is receiving

2. Political correctness is applied to national security
3. Liberals show themselves for their true feelings of uniform personnel
4. Democrats are elected

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20070614/D8POHGRO0.html

Military Officers Now Targets on Hill

Key passages:

On Friday, Defense Secretary Robert Gates made the stunning announcement that he would not recommend Pace to serve a second two-year term as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Marine Corps four-star general had not been a target previously of Democrats' ire on the war, but Gates said lawmakers made it clear the confirmation process would be ugly.

Tauscher, D-Calif., a member of the House Armed Services Committee, said Pace lost standing among members in March when he said homosexual acts were immoral and that the military should not condone the behavior by allowing gays to serve openly. He later apologized, including in a personal letter to Tauscher, for expressing what he said were his personnel views.

Tauscher said his comments on gays "showed his ignorance" and "had to be deeply discounted because they came from a man who had presided over a war that we got into on a lie and what I consider to be a serious dereliction of duty in having our troops and our readiness so destroyed by the policies of this administration."

Freedom, not climate, is at risk By Vaclav Klaus

{ The President of Czech Republic has been the only world leader other than John Howard of Australia that has shown any backbone about this snake-oil hysteria of man-made global warming. It's rare, but it's enjoyable to read something from a leader with courage and simple common sense}

Freedom, not climate, is at risk
By Vaclav Klaus

Published: June 13 2007 17:44 | Last updated: June 13 2007 17:44

We are living in strange times. One exceptionally warm winter is enough – irrespective of the fact that in the course of the 20th century the global temperature increased only by 0.6 per cent – for the environmentalists and their followers to suggest radical measures to do something about the weather, and to do it right now.

In the past year, Al Gore’s so-called “documentary” film was shown in cinemas worldwide, Britain’s – more or less Tony Blair’s – Stern report was published, the fourth report of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was put together and the Group of Eight summit announced ambitions to do something about the weather. Rational and freedom-loving people have to respond. The dictates of political correctness are strict and only one permitted truth, not for the first time in human history, is imposed on us. Everything else is denounced.

The author Michael Crichton stated it clearly: “the greatest challenge facing mankind is the challenge of distinguishing reality from fantasy, truth from propaganda”. I feel the same way, because global warming hysteria has become a prime example of the truth versus propaganda problem. It requires courage to oppose the “established” truth, although a lot of people – including top-class scientists – see the issue of climate change entirely differently. They protest against the arrogance of those who advocate the global warming hypothesis and relate it to human activities.

As someone who lived under communism for most of his life, I feel obliged to say that I see the biggest threat to freedom, democracy, the market economy and prosperity now in ambitious environmentalism, not in communism. This ideology wants to replace the free and spontaneous evolution of mankind by a sort of central (now global) planning.

The environmentalists ask for immediate political action because they do not believe in the long-term positive impact of economic growth and ignore both the technological progress that future generations will undoubtedly enjoy, and the proven fact that the higher the wealth of society, the higher is the quality of the environment. They are Malthusian pessimists.

The scientists should help us and take into consideration the political effects of their scientific opinions. They have an obligation to declare their political and value assumptions and how much they have affected their selection and interpretation of scientific evidence.

Does it make any sense to speak about warming of the Earth when we see it in the context of the evolution of our planet over hundreds of millions of years? Every child is taught at school about temperature variations, about the ice ages, about the much warmer climate in the Middle Ages. All of us have noticed that even during our life-time temperature changes occur (in both directions).

Due to advances in technology, increases in disposable wealth, the rationality of institutions and the ability of countries to organise themselves, the adaptability of human society has been radically increased. It will continue to increase and will solve any potential consequences of mild climate changes.

I agree with Professor Richard Lindzen from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who said: “future generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early 21st century’s developed world went into hysterical panic over a globally averaged temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree, and, on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to contemplate a roll-back of the industrial age”.

The issue of global warming is more about social than natural sciences and more about man and his freedom than about tenths of a degree Celsius changes in average global temperature.

As a witness to today’s worldwide debate on climate change, I suggest the following:
■Small climate changes do not demand far-reaching restrictive measures
■Any suppression of freedom and democracy should be avoided
■Instead of organising people from above, let us allow everyone to live as he wants
■Let us resist the politicisation of science and oppose the term “scientific consensus”, which is always achieved only by a loud minority, never by a silent majority

■Instead of speaking about “the environment”, let us be attentive to it in our personal behaviour
■Let us be humble but confident in the spontaneous evolution of human society. Let us trust its rationality and not try to slow it down or divert it in any direction

■Let us not scare ourselves with catastrophic forecasts, or use them to defend and promote irrational interventions in human lives.
