It’s always nice when it seems that RadicalWacko.com gets a scoop on an idea. 
This story appeared on MSNBC April 4 and is very reminicent of James J. Skach’s piece entitled “Who’s Silencing Whom?”

Funny Quote of the Day:
There is a bill making it’s way through the Oklahoma Legislature which would require computer technicians to report any child pornography they find or face a fine up to $500. However, Rep. Jim Wilson (D – Tahlequah) has his concerns whether these technicians could recognize child pornography.
“This are nerds, folks — these people can’t even deal with sexuality. This is a bad, bad bill — we need to put this out of it’s misery.”
The only thing I can say is “Ouch, that hurts.”

As you all know I’m a hardened cynic of the first order, but even this brought a misting to the eye while it brought rage to my chest:
“More than 100 children held in a prison celebrated their freedom as US marines rolled into northeast Baghdad,” Agence France-Presse reports:
Around 150 children spilled out of the jail after the gates were opened as a US military Humvee vehicle approached, Lieutenant Colonel Fred Padilla told an AFP correspondent travelling with the Marines 5th Regiment.“Hundreds of kids were swarming us and kissing us,” Padilla said.
“There were parents running up, so happy to have their kids back.”
“The children had been imprisoned because they had not joined the youth branch of the Baath party,” he alleged. “Some of these kids had been in there for five years.”
In a September interview with Time magazine, here’s what Scott Ritter had to say about Iraq’s children’s prisons:
The prison in question is at the General Security Services headquarters, which was inspected by my team in Jan. 1998. It appeared to be a prison for children–toddlers up to pre-adolescents–whose only crime was to be the offspring of those who have spoken out politically against the regime of Saddam Hussein. It was a horrific scene. Actually I’m not going to describe what I saw there because what I saw was so horrible that it can be used by those who would want to promote war with Iraq, and right now I’m waging peace.
Beyond the obvious point about the cruelty of the Iraqi regime, this article also proves what can only be called the evil of the peace movement! You wouldn’t report the torture of children because it might lead to their freedom through war!!!! Are you insane??????? Mr. Ritter, shame on you. How you sleep at night is beyond me. If this war will teach us anything, it should teach us that these so called peace activists are complicit in their support of murder.
THIS JUST IN . . .
AFP, 7 April — The ground war in Iraq heated up yesterday when the Coalition revealed plans to airdrop a platoon of crack French existentialist philosophers into the country to destroy the morale of the Iraqi and Islamic zealots by proving the non-existence of God. Elements from the feared Jean-Paul Sartre Brigade, or ‘Black Berets’, will be parachuted into the combat zones to spread doubt, despondency and existential anomie among the enemy.
Hardened by numerous intellectual battles fought during their long occupation of Paris’s Left Bank, their first action will be to establish a number of pavement cafes at strategic points near the front lines. There they will drink coffee and talk animatedly about the absurd nature of life and man’s lonely isolation in the universe.
They will be accompanied by a number of heart-breakingly beautiful girlfriends who will further spread dismay by sticking their tongues in the philosophers’ ears every five minutes and looking remote and unattainable to everyone else.
Their leader, Colonel Marc-Ange Belmondo, spoke yesterday of his confidence in the success of their mission. Sorbonne graduate Belmondo, a very intense and unshaven young man in a black pullover, gesticulated wildly and said, “The Islamicists are caught in a logical fallacy of the most ridiculous. There is no God and I can prove it. Take your tongue out of my ear, Juliet, I am talking.”
Marc-Ange plans to deliver an impassioned thesis on man’s nauseating freedom of action with special reference to the work of Foucault and the films of Alfred Hitchcock.
However, humanitarian agencies have been quick to condemn the operation as inhumane, pointing out that the effects of passive smoking from the Frenchmen’s endless Gitanes could wreak a terrible toll on civilians in the area.
Speculation was mounting last night that Britain may also contribute to the effort by dropping Professor Stephen Hawking into Iraq to propagate his non-deistic theory of the creation of the universe.
Here’s a hell of a great quote from Brigadier-General John Kelley as reported in the Sydney Morning Herald:
“They stand, they fight, sometimes they run when we engage them, but often they run into our machine guns and we shoot them down like the morons they are.”
My friend Steven Anderson wrote this short, but concise response to this idiotic article. I thought you might enjoy it:
As an American I am tired of here all this anti American press about the war. I was against the war and I am still against it but it looks to me as if some of those people over there are happy we are there. Maybe I am just being brainwashed by the images I see on TV of Iraqi’s kissing the hands of American & British soilders, tearing down pictures and statues of Saddam while looting old Republic Guard stations, and beating uniformed soilder they beleive to be Fedienni (sp?) but I’m thinking we have had enough bad press about this war
The French, Germans and Russians were all against military action. Does it have anything to do with the fact that both the French and Russians were selling them weapons in January of this year? Who knows?
And as far as the civilian casualties go, I have every confidence that we (US and UK) are doing everything we can to limit the number of innocent people killed. I mean its a WAR so people will die, but the Iraqi’s didn’t seem to care about that as they bought GPS jammers from the Russians for installation around Bagdad!
To all those people out there who don’t agree, its too bad cause its too late, the US and UK have landed and are kicking ass and taking names at this point. Even if some 18 year old Private doesn’t completely understand why he’s over there fighting, he does know he’s going to jail or worse someone else may die if he doesn’t follow orders so give him a break
Enough of the bad press and editorials, report the facts. Support the troops not the mission and stop naysaying from the sidelines and do something…
Well, my heartfelt apologize to the 2 fans out there. For the first time I missed a day of posting. All I can say is that it was for a very good reason. I, at long last, have a new computer that hopefully won’t suffer from a hardware failure four or five times a day. Additionally, while I get everything set up, the webcam will be offline. Trust me all will return to normal soon.
