Good News from Iraq, Week Ending 10.04.2008

Posted in: Military News, Push to Test; Release to Detonate — Claire @ 4:30 am

Can you believe that we are already into October? I remember back in February and March of this year vividly. ToySoldier was still in Baqubah and there was a lot of buzz hitting the airwaves. We all knew that once Spring arrived there would be an upswing in the fighting and violence in Iraq.

Did it happen? Sure. There was a mild upswing, but nothing at all like the years before. That was, to me anyway, a huge indicator of the massive defeat that AQI had taken. Spring and summer are their fighting seasons. When the show they had to offer was really not much of a show at all, it was an indicator of what they were capable of — and that was massively diminished from the years before. I wonder if Harry Reid is ready yet to recind his infamous “This war is lost” proclamation? I guess he’ll rescind when Murtha apologizes to the Marines…. and hell freezes over. Enough of my babbling this morning. Good morning and enjoy your good news for the week!

The Weekly Claw 9-23-08

Posted in: Military News, Politics, Crawfish's Swamp — TheCrawfish @ 12:01 am

What do y’all think caught the eye of The Crawfish this week? PUH-LENTY! Some of it made me scratch my head. Some entertained me. Quite a bit HACKED ME OFF! Where am I going and why am I in this handbasket?

How did the mortgage and banking crises really happen? A former real estate attorney, who is also a Libertarian talk show host, explains it so even a Crawfish can understand. Here’s what happened

Lehman Brothers filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy last week, helping the market meltdown, but there’s a dirty little secret there. They set aside $2.5 BILLION to give out bonuses to their Noo Yawk staff folks. How in the world can you be bankrupt and still set aside $2.5 BILLION for bonuses? Part of me says that it is up to the stockholders to vote on things like this, but part of me actually agrees with Obama and McCain that “golden parachutes” for executives that screw up companies need some major regulation, since the stockholders never DO vote on this junk. Bovine Excrement at Lehman Bros

Hypocrisy alert! Senator Obama says “we have not managed our federal budget with any kind of discipline,” but he wants to give over $50 BILLION PER YEAR to the UN to combat global poverty (in other words, give the money to tin pot dictators and other anti-American corrupt people). Yeah, the UN is a good place for our money

Harlem, Noo Yawk, Representative Charlie “I can break tax laws because I’m the Chairman of that Committee” Rangel is apologizing for his remark when he called Sarah Palin “disabled”, but the interviewer called him on it and gave him multiple chances to correct himself. Charlie the lying pig without lipstick

The Obama campaign keeps trying to paint McCain as being George W. Bush is another body, but the public isn’t really buying it (well, at least those who get their news from somewhere other than the Daily Kos-sack or Huffington Post). He’s not W The Crawfish wonders when McCain and the GOP will start painting Obama as being just a continuation of Nancy P-Lousy and Land Deal Reid. You know, those folks who have brought Congress’ approval ratings to the lowest in history, and over 15% below that of W.

The Crawfish can’t believe that this is happening in California. Not the principal’s initial actions, since that is definitely basic left wing anti-America California in action, but that the students have fought back! Go Get ‘em kids

A guy admits that he’s not a really observant Jew, but he wants to keep his beard because of religious reasons. The problem is that he’s a firefighter, and beards prevent oxygen masks and other breathing apparatus from making a proper seal. That’s one of the main reasons for the no beard policy in the Navy, since we are all firefighters on the ship and might have to don gas masks, oxygen generators, or respirators in our work days. What do y’all think

Mahhh(hack p-tooey!)moud I’minajihad is once again visiting the UN and making a speech in Noo Yawk. A Jewish group organized a large protest, and invited Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin to be co-keynote speakers. The Wife of The Impeached One pulled out when she heard that Palin was going to be there, since she didn’t want to be overwhelmingly upstaged (she said it was because Palin’s presence made it a political event, as if hers didn’t). Since Her Majesty wasn’t going to be there, several high-profile Jewish Democrats demanded that Palin’s invite get pulled, and it was. Why do American Jews support the party that refuses to support Israel? They’d rather go soft on I’minajihad than let a Republican blast his Holocaust denying butt. They fear Sarah more than Iran

Governor Palin did release the text of the speech she would have given to the group. We will defeat the Mad Mullahs No, she doesn’t say that. Those are The Crawfish’s words.

One of our great action heroes, and now a columnist, has weighed in on the dissatisfaction that Americans are feeling with their current government and the candidates being foisted upon us. The Crawfish agrees with him. Roundhouse kick THIS

The Soviet invasion of Georgia actually commenced before the Georgian Army began its crackdown on the breakaway provinces, according to intercepted cell phone calls. More proof that it was all a set-up by Mr. KGB, Vlad “The Impaler of Georgia” Putin. BUSTED

The Soviet Union is sending a cruiser and a destroyer to exercise with the Venezuelan Navy. It took them a couple of weeks to find TWO ships that might be able to make it that far without fleet tug support. Did they fill the hulls with ping pong balls for added buoyancy? Can they make it that far?

Completely non-PC alert! There is something absolutely wrong about this story. Construction workers complained? She’s either a whale or FUGLY! She ain’t cute

The Democratic candidate for US Senate in Minnesota, washed up comedian and founder of the failed Air America, Al Franken, has now been busted suggesting anti-Republican skits for “Saturday Night Live” and they aren’t as funny as the fact that he believes himself to be Senate-worthy. There’s a reason Air America FAILED

Speaking of lame humor from “SNL” (is there any other kind of humor there since the “Not Ready For Prime Time Players” left the show?), now they’re making jokes about Todd Palin having sex with his daughters. That’s just disgusting and over the line. Anything for a laugh from liberals and NBC

Some of the folks that have property, or HAD property, where Hurricane Ike hit might lose rights to their land and beach houses. When this law was passed, the state legislature was solidly Democratic, but watch the current (GOP-led) legislature and Governor Rick Perry (Republican) get blamed when the land gets confiscated. Sorry but it sucks to be them

Posted in: Military News, Push to Test; Release to Detonate — Claire @ 4:30 am

Once again I am offering a good news inoculation to cure you of the defeatist disease perpetuated by the main stream media. Take a peek at the good news pouring in from Iraq. Stability, economic growth, peace, citizen participation, patriotism, and vital industry being built may sound like success to the average person, but to the likes of Reid, Pelosi, et. al, it means defeat. Go figure! (more…)

The Weekly Claw 8-19-08

Posted in: Military News, Politics, Crawfish's Swamp — TheCrawfish @ 5:20 am

Another Tuesday rolls around and The Crawfish has found a lot of things to write about over the past week. Where to begin……..

We’ll start with a real shocker. Obama snubbing the troops again. Like you really expected anything else from him.
Vacations are more important than troops

This from Crawfish’s Swamp at Townhall.com on Thursday, 8-14-08
Americans Are Stoooopid!
That’s what Obama and his minions believe. Yesterday, they trotted Virginia Governor Tim Kaine out in front of the cameras to say this:
“The Senator’s goal was to be tough and smart,” Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine said of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, “and so when the action (in Georgia) happened on Thursday, he immediately called for a ceasefire, condemned the unwarranted use of force by Russia. It was a bad crisis for the world. It required tough words, but also a smart approach to call on the international community to step in — and I’m very, very happy that the senator’s request for a ceasefire has been complied with by President Medvedev.”

a) He had no goal of being tough and smart. His first actions were to continue his vacation and say that the UN should handle the situation.
b) Obama never made a serious call for a ceasefire, and the one that Putin’s puppet agreed to (with fingers crossed behind his back) was brokered by French President Sarkozy. (Imagine that…the Soviets lied to the French about their military intentions and the French believed them)

c) Kaine was obviously sent out there as part of his audition to be The Messiah’s Vice President. If he is able to get the mainstream media to report more Messiahlies and the American people to believe this tripe, then he might be worthy to sit at Obama’s right hand.
d) The ceasefire agreement signatures weren’t even dry before the Soviets reneged on them.

Gov Kaine Spouts Moronic Lies

Video Here

Meanwhile, as reported on Thursday, 8-14-08, the Soviets believe that the ceasefire meant that the Georgians would stop fighting, but they were free to continue. For those who actually believe that Georgia started it without it being a set-up, notice that the Soviets are saying that Georgia’s borders from before this Soviet invasion are null and void. Looks like Obama’s ceasefire claims were a bit premature, as was George W Bush’s claim that Putin is a good guy.
USSR’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov declared Thursday that the world “can forget about” Georgia’s territorial integrity, and American and Georgian officials said the Sovs appeared to be targeting military infrastructure — including radars and patrol boats at a Black Sea naval base and oil hub.

The White House responded, but then again, what can we really do about it? “Our position on Georgia’s territorial integrity is not going to change no matter what anybody says,” White House press secretary Dana Perino said Thursday. “And so I would consider that to be bluster from the foreign minister of Russia. We will ignore it.”

The Soviet State Of Georgia?

This has the possibility of getting really bad for Georgia. The US isn’t in any position to really do anything to prevent a full takeover, or partial takeover, by the Soviets. The Europeans are not going to do anything, because they are fully dependent upon the Soviets for oil and natural gas. The Europeans don’t want to freeze to death this winter.

Oh, and before anybody complains about the name of the country doing the invading here, yes, The Swamp’s official term for that nation has reverted to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

Now about the set-up. The seperatists in South Ossetia and Abkhazia were supported, funded, and armed by the Soviets. Most of them have Russian passports, which is a violation of international law as they are legally citizens of Georgia. Technically, those passports are not valid. The Georgians were responding to activity by the seperatists, and when they acted, the Soviets were able to hit back with 5 divisions, plus naval and air assets, within a few hours. That doesn’t just happen. That kind of military action takes planning and time to put the action-ready units in position. Obviously, this was pre-planned.

Now back to vajoe-only parts of our regularly scheduled rant….

There is a reason why Red Nanny P-Lousy opposes drilling offshore and in ANWR. She is heavily invested in ALTERNATE ENERGY COMPANIES! Her tax forms filed this year show income of $100,001 and $250,000 from clean energy companies. She accuses the GOP Congresscritters who are staging their revolt on the House floor as “handmaidens of Big Oil”, so does that make her the house b***h of Big Wind and Big Solar? Will the mainstream media report this? Since you haven’t heard about this from anybody but The Crawfish, that answer would be “NO!”
Michelle Malkin Exposes Red Nanny

A State Assemblyman in Noo Joisey is calling on the socialist Governor to hold off on Glo-Bull Warming actions. It seems the assemblyman has actually read some of the FACTS that show we’re now in a cooling period. Of course, that means he is NOT a Dim-ocrat.
Stop The Corzine Insanity!

I really cannot make this up. The left has now COMPLETELY elevated Obama to Messiah status, far ahead of the Prophet Algoracle. Speaker Nancy Pelosi calls Obama “a leader that God has blessed us with at this time.”
We are truly blessed to be in the era of The Messiah.

The New Religion

If any of y’all are wondering why the younger generation is not as intellectually up to snuff as your’s is, and they believe that they should never fail, even when they are completely incapable of doing the job….This from dallasnews.com:
Public Schools Produce Democrat Voters!

And now from the world of sports, we have a story that is full of unadulterated BOVINE EXCREMENT!
Give the gold to the Chinagirl even though she’s too young to compete and had the same score as the American.

We Wuz ROBBED!

The Ukraine has responded to the Soviet Union’s blatant aggression in Georgia and their threats against Poland. Instead of cowering, they are offering to join into a missile defense agreement with the US, and they’re bringing in their Russian systems and satellites with them!
Take THAT Soviet Bear!
