VIDEO: It took far too long, but Sgt. Tahmooressi is finally released

Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi
It finally happened! The Mexican Federales dropped their charges, and  Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi was released. It was exciting when I heard the news last night.  This was a good day for all involved in trying to help get him released, including his mother Jill Tahmooressi, Montel Williams, Greta Van Susteren, and a few Congressmen. The Obama administration, namely the President and the State Department, were largely absent in the effort. Well, go figure.

Obama wants U.S. defenseless ~ By Joseph Farah

As always, Joseph says pretty much what I have been thinking. I am glad that he has the courage to write what he does. I can only assume that Obama's minions will not be happy with Farah's column, and I can only assume that Joseph Farah could care less about what they think.

The important thing that we must remember, is that for now, we still have the freedom to write and say what the truth is, and it is extremely urgent for us to do so before it's too late (if it isn't already). That can change. There could be a day when we may no longer have that freedom. That day could come at any time.

I can only assume his globalist sympathies are more important to him than the lives and safety of 300 million Americans he swore an oath to defend.

I can only assume his bizarre, twisted and un-American sense of morality is more important to him than the oath he swore to uphold the Constitution.

This man is dangerous – not just to our liberties but to our very lives and the very future of America.

Barack Obama's own administration may still be trying to explain away his announcement that the U.S. would never respond to a biological or chemical weapons attack on America with nuclear weapons, but this is hardly the first gaffe suggesting the man in the White House has no interest in defending the homeland.

Much less news coverage was afforded the decision by his Congress to defund an incredibly promising project that could offer protection to all U.S. citizens currently vulnerable to missile attack – including those carrying biological, chemical and nuclear weapons.

On Feb. 11, a high-powered laser successfully shot down a ballistic missile in a test off the coast of California. That was when the "airborne laser aircraft" demonstrated it is capable of destroying a missile traveling at 4,000 miles per hour.

This might have been greeted with sighs of relief given the news that has dominated the world lately – Iran's nuclear program and North Korea's nuclear tests. But it wasn't. Instead, it was greeted with a collective yawn from the complacent yet undefended American public and a choice by the Obama administration and Democratic-dominated Congress to pull the plug on the airborne laser system.

At the same time, the Obama administration is green-lighting plans by America's top technology companies, including Google and Yahoo!, to transfer strategic computer know-how to China, which is already acknowledged to be working on cyber-warfare capabilities that could pose tactical challenges to the U.S. in any future conflict.

John Holdren
Why should any of this surprise us? Obama's so-called "science czar," John Holdren, visited the Soviet Union during the Cold War as vice chairman of a group whose founder was accused of providing vital nuclear information that helped the Soviets build their atom bomb.

Holdren also has endorsed a "surrender of sovereignty" to what he called "a comprehensive Planetary Regime" that would control all the world's resources, direct global redistribution of wealth, oversee the "de-development" of the West, control a world army and taxation, and enforce world population controls.

However, it's worth noting not everyone in the world community shares Obama's apparent fondness for "we are the world"-style totalitarianism. Some countries would prefer to impose their own will on the rest of us.

In China, for instance, Senior Col. Liu Mingfu published a book, with the approval of Beijing, that calls for his country to make a "sprint" toward becoming the world's dominant military superpower.

China has also reportedly developed a high-tech ballistic missile capable of sinking U.S. aircraft carriers.

There can be no confusion about what China is doing with its aggressive military arms buildup.

Beijing may already be in full sprint for the finish line – a military showdown with the U.S. when America can least afford it.

As I've said before, I don't think Obama is dumb. I think he's a reasonably intelligent person fully capable of seeing what I'm seeing and understanding what it means.

Official: Russia to deliver missile defense to Iran

From WorldNetDaily

System would make strike against Tehran's nuclear reactors more difficult
Iran has expressed frustration over the continued delay in the delivery of the S-300 system. Last week a top Iranian military commander claimed his country would build its own air-defense missiles that would be even better than the S-300.

TEL AVIV – Despite announcements to the contrary, Russia still plans to deliver its S-300 advanced air-defense missiles to Iran, according to a senior Egyptian security official speaking to WND.

The official said Russia also intends to see the system delivered to Syria, from which it can also be transferred to the Hezbollah militia operating in Lebanon.

Earlier this week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Moscow, where he reportedly asked the Russians to cancel a contract with Iran to deliver and install the S-300 system. Israeli newspapers quoted sources in Netanyahu's entourage stating Russia agreed to cancel the sale.

The S-300PMU1 is a mobile system designed to shoot down aircraft and cruise missiles. Analysts say the S-300 system would make any Israeli strike against Iran's nuclear facilities more difficult.

Just after Netanyahu's visit, the Interfax news agency quoted a senior Russian official as saying the delivery to Iran of the S-300 has been delayed for technical reasons.

"The delay is due to technical problems. The delivery will be carried out when they are resolved," said Alexander Fomin, deputy head of Russia's Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation.

New stealth jet tipping strategic balance

From WorldNetDaily
Key to be 'if the Russians are able to build enough of them'

By Michael Carl

A new fighter jet has completed a 45-minute test flight, giving Russia a boost in its effort to obtain a fifth-generation craft that can avoid radar detection with stealth technology and still perform at high levels.

The test of the Sukhoi-manufactured T-50 fighter plane just days ago raises new questions for Russia's neighbors who may be worried about strategic advantages.

The Economist magazine's former Moscow correspondent Edward Lucas said the balance of power now will depend on Russia's productivity.

"There's no doubt that the Russians have the technological know-how to build new state of the art planes," Lucas said, "They showed that by having the 45-minute test.

"The key to whether the new plane will make a difference is if the Russians are able to build enough of them to make a difference," Lucas said.

Retired Brig. Gen. Kevin Ryan says Prime Minister Vladimir Putin "is extremely interested in redeveloping Russia's industrial capacity."

"Russia's major exports to other countries have always been military hardware," Ryan said. "With the Migs they showed they could build planes. Their interest in reasserting their capability is important here."

The plane has a maximum speed of 1,305 miles per hour and a maximum range of about 3,500 miles. It uses stealth technology to reduce its "signature."

When Is an Extremist Not an Extremist?

From GlennBeck.com
Glenn BeckBy Glenn Beck November 12, 2009 - 2:59 ET I've been down for a couple of days, so I may have missed this, but, has anybody over at the White House labeled Nidal Malik Hasan — the terrorist who killed 13 and wounded 30 more at Fort Hood — an extremist? I've heard him referred to as a "shooter" and a "gunman." He's been called "troubled" and "harassed." We know he didn't want to be deployed and his cousin called him a "good American." But extremist? No, we can't say that; we wouldn't want offend anyone. Are we that politically correct? I guess so. But there is no hesitation by Barack Obama's political arm, Organizing for America, to send out an e-mail calling tea party goers extremists: "Across the country, members of Congress who support reform are being shouted down, physically assaulted, hung in effigy, and receiving death threats. We can't let extremists hijack this debate, or confuse Congress about where the people stand." So, that's extremism, but killing 13 people isn't? If there was anyone who could be labeled "extremist," you would think it would be someone who spoke of Islamic jihad to his fellow soldiers and then acted on those feelings by picking up a weapon and killing his fellow soldiers with it. But no, there are real extremists picking up a sign and protesting big government. [CLICK HERE TO READ MORE]

Big Increases for Intelligence and Pentagon

More money for Black Ops Programs under the Obama Administration in 2010. "CHANGE" seems to be a euphemism for "More of the SAME", just a different guy holding the shovel. read more | digg story ~ Submitted by 4chin8

Unsung Glory; “To quit my post only when properly relieved.”

That is the Marine Corps 5th General Order, “To quit my post only when properly relived”. It means quite simply that a Marine on post does not abandon it, period. On April 22 2008 two Marines on post in Ramadi Iraq demonstrated exactly what that order means when they stood their ground as a suicide VBIED carrying more than 2,000 pounds of explosives bore down on them. Even as Iraqi Police around them fled, Lance Cpl. Jordan Haerter, a rifleman with 1st Battalion, 9th Marines, and Cpl. Jonathan T. Yale, a rifleman with 2nd Battalion, 8th Marines poured automatic fire into the cab of the truck. The driver was killed, but the “dead mans switch” in his hand detonated the explosives, killing both Marines. Because they refused to run and stood to their post, 33 Marines and 21 Iraqi Police as well as numerous civilians inside the Joint Security Station, an Iraqi Police training facility were saved. [Continue reading]

And here are some of the wonderful comments about this story from my friends at digg.com:

gbudavid said: A Job Well and Truly done. Thank you and your families for you service and Sacrifice... Semper Fi Fair wind and Following seas. Indyanna said: fta: Haerter’s mother, JoAnn Lyles, her voice breaking, talked of how she had hoped to do something special for his 20th birthday. “We now know that Jordan — Lance Cpl. Jordan C. Haerter — was already a man, a courageous and brave young man.” God bless you, Mrs. Lyles. At 19, your son was more of a man than most. Iccat said: God Bless these men and their families! We are truly a nation Blessed by God to have such young people who without hesitation gave their life to protect their fellow patriots. Contrast their heroic sacrifice for their fellow man with our elitist politician’s willingness to sacrifice the United States and our citizens for their own power and riches. keltin said: Tears are infrequent, but they were there as I read this moving article of bravery and courage. It makes me realize even more the way many of the young people in our country have no concept of patriotism and steadfastness, be it in war or in politics. But a story like this shows me that we do have young men and women who really do know the value of duty, honor and country. The Yale and Haerter families are what is best about our country. blakelylaw580 said: I, too, had to wait until the tears stopped to be able to post this. My husband, career retired military, always tells me that when all hell breaks loose in this country, one of the groups we will be able to count on to do the right thing is the military; this type of story makes me believe that might actually happen. My only negative comment - this happened a year ago; how come we've never heard this before. And yes, that is a rhetorical question.

Our Veterans Through The Eyes of A Six Year Old Boy

By Randy Williams When we were kids, my brother and I were crazy about playing army. We didn’t play cowboys and Indians. That was for sissies. We played army. We thought of ourselves as hardcore soldiers. Our favorite TV shows were Combat and Hogan’s Heroes. My brother and I had the helmets, the toy rifles the canteens, we used branches and twigs for camouflage and mom would get upset if we used her green eye shadow and black mascara to paint our faces. Any rock or dirt clod was well suited and served as a hand grenade. If we ran out of grenades we would simply pick up a “Potato Masher” grenade that had been thrown at us by a Jerry. By pulling on a handful of long grass, we were able to pull up the roots of the grass with a dirt clod on the end. This served as the “Potato Masher” grenade that we threw back at the Jerry machine gun nest we were to overrun. The hills behind our home became our battlefield. One day we would walk out the back door and we were on Guadalcanal. The next day we were at Normandy. We saw many days of battle. read more | digg story
