Black 47 (Last One To Die) Bloody, fucking Ulster . Fucking, bloody Baghdad. Where next? One isn't really our problem, yet; one is still our problem. But, there is a relation between violence, sectarian hatred and money. Last night, the entrance to the Massereene army base in Antrim, 16 miles n...

So, Europe's warboiler is on again, and the liberals are eager to spill more blood in the hopes of transformative democracy or whatever...I hate liberals. I am one in a lot of respects, but I am not a Hobbit. Our first Bosnian adventure wasn't terrible, as in fact, our first Iraqi adventure ...

But, they aren't even able to keep from subverting thei...

Turns out that a special interrogation course was set up for the Gitmo stuff...hot stuff on how to use techniques. Unfortuantely, the stuff was nonsense, cribbed from a 1957 Air Force study on how the Red Menace had interrogated US prisoners to obtain confessions. False confessions. Absurd lies. Tot...

Remember all that nuttiness about the invasion of Iraq being to secure it's oil? Damn, the nuts were right! Getting rid of Saddam was just the cherry on top of the whipped cream. A group of American advisers led by a small State Department team played an integral part in drawing up contracts between...
