ST. LOUIS — A St. Charles man accused of buying automatic weapons and a Claymore mine and bargaining for grenades was indicted this week on four federal machine gun charges. ...originally arrested Dec. 29 and charged with three counts of illegal possession or distribution of a machine gun and conspiracy to violate machine gun statutes.
During November and December, [Suspect #1] bought two M-16s, a Heckler & Koch MP-5 fully automatic submachine gun and a Claymore mine from a government informer, not knowing they had been rigged not to work.
He also negotiated to buy a box of 30 grenades and said he wanted any guns the informer could get, “big or small.” The grenades were never delivered.
The men met several times in the 5700 block of West Florissant Avenue, where [Suspect #1] worked. One of [Suspect #1]’s co-workers, [Suspect #2], met with the men once, according to the indictment, and “stated he wants to buy as many explosives as possible because, ‘we’re going to war.’” In an interview earlier this month, [Suspect #2] said he didn’t remember the comment and suggested it may have been a joke.
Wow, eh? Buncha gotdanged Midwestern red-necks.
oh. wait.
[Suspect #1], [Mousa M. Abuelawi, 22], ... is a Palestinian immigrant, is single and has no children and no assets… Abuelawi’s co-worker, [Suspect #2], ...is Thaed Abde Sumad...
Yep. Just a joke, S.A. Smith. Get it?

Genealogical detectives from Ancestry.com were able to trace the lineage of the Reverend Sharpton to his great-grandfather, Coleman Sharpton, a slave in 1835 Edgefield County, South Carolina. Coleman Sharpton was sent to South Carolina and hired out to work off the “debts of the estate” of Julia Thurmond Sharpton.
Reports vary, tho…
An 1861 indenture documented that Coleman Sharpton, Rev. Sharpton’s great- grandfather, worked on behalf of four Sharpton children to pay off the debts of their father’s estate. Their mother, Julia Thurmond Sharpton, was Strom Thurmond’s first cousin twice removed.
According to the [The Daily News], the genealogists found documents establishing that Sharpton’s great-grandfather, Coleman Sharpton, was a slave owned by Julia Thurmond, whose grandfather was Strom Thurmond’s great-great-grandfather.
????
I dunno—I’m not seein’ it.
In 1957...as a Democrat… Strom Thurmond...filibustered for more than 24 hours against a civil rights bill.
The real question: How much will the shakedown be for?

Illegal aliens are killing more Americans than the Iraq war, says a new report from Family Security Matters that estimates some 2,158 murders are committed every year by illegal aliens in the U.S. ... more than 15 percent of all the murders reported by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the U.S. and about three times the representation of illegal aliens in the general population.

On February 11, 2007, a tractor-trailer registered in Texas and containing a large shipment of weapons, ammunition and a Nissan pickup truck fitted with armor and bullet-proof glass was stopped by the Mexican army in Matamoros, just south of the U.S. border at Brownsville, Texas.
The weapons seized included 18 M-16 assault rifles, including at least one equipped with an M-203 40mm grenade launcher, several M-4 carbines, 17 handguns of various calibers, over 200 magazines for different weapons, and more than 8,000 rounds of ammunition, assault vests and other military accessories.

Out of Control
a sighting in the wild
Driving up to a T intersection tonite, we observed a handful of geriatric sign-wavers dancing and chanting about surrendering in Iraq and “Dissent” being “Patriotic.”
Unbidden, my hand lowered the window and I heard my voice call out, “Get a job—you damn hippies!”

SF’s new schoolbook—it’s ‘anti-militaristic...
“This is the best thing I’ve ever read,” the Air Force veteran told the Guardian. “I’ve got a whole library of US foreign policy, but this puts it all together in such an easy format. Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, Michael Parenti — they’re all [authors of] great books, but they aren’t easy reads.”
How is this possible?

The Mexican Consulate played a previously undisclosed role in the events leading to U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton’s high-profile prosecution of Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, who are serving 11 and 12 year sentences for their role in the shooting of a drug smuggler, according to documents obtained by WND.
And Mexican consular officials also demanded the prosecution of Texas Sheriff’s Deputy Guillermo “Gilmer” Hernandez, who subsequently was brought to trial by Sutton, the documents reveal.
..."We have it in writing,” he told WND, “a letter from the Mexican Consulate in the case of the deputy sheriff from Edwards County and verbal confirmation of the Mexican Consulate’s complaint in the case of Border Patrol agents Ramos and Compean.”
Culberson told WND it is “outrageous and unacceptable that our government is prosecuting U.S. law enforcement officials at the request of the Mexican government."

Surely *now* I can question their patriotism?
along with their classification as vertebrates
Top House Democrats, working in concert with anti-war groups, have decided against using congressional power to force a quick end to U.S. involvement in Iraq, and instead will pursue a slow-bleed strategy designed to gradually limit the administration’s options.
That’s not what I call it. I call it chickenshiite. If you haven’t the courage of your convictions nor the testicular fortitude to stand up and call for a direct cut-off of funding and declare a vote for defeat, get the hell offa my planet.
The legislative strategy will be supplemented by a multimillion-dollar TV ad campaign designed to pressure vulnerable GOP incumbents into breaking with President Bush and forcing the administration to admit that the war is politically unsustainable.
Produced, no doubt, by alZawahiri’s production company. And paid for my ME?!?!?!? I think not.
Pelosi and other top Democrats are not yet prepared for an open battle with the White House over ending funding for the war, and they are wary of Republican claims that Democratic leaders would endanger the welfare of U.S. troops. The new approach of first reducing the number of troops available for the conflict, while maintaining funding levels for units already in the field, gives political cover to conservative House Democrats who are nervous about appearing “anti-military” while also mollifying the anti-war left, which has long been agitating for Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., to be more aggressive.
Though I fail to see how this could possibly avoid abandoning the troops in harm’s way.
The House strategy is being crafted quietly, even as the chamber is immersed this week in an emotional, albeit mostlysymbolicmasturbatory [e-C], debate over a resolution expressing opposition to Bush’s plan to “surge” 21,500 more troops into Iraq.
Sneaky? Slithery underhanded weasly creepy… [oh, no! that’s nuance.]
"There’s a D-Day coming in here, and it’s going to start with the supplemental and finish with the ‘08 [defense] budget,” said Rep. Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii, who chairs the Air and Land Forces subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee.
STFU and go back to selling prostitot wear, you legacy loser.
"What we have staked out is a campaign to stop the war without cutting off funding” for the troops, said Tom Mazzie of Americans Against Escalation of the War in Iraq. “We call it the ‘readiness strategy.’"
Tom Mazzie [muzzie? irony?] is the spokespuppet for the “andi-war left”—the owners of Peloisi / Murtha, et al. They claim to be [yet another] coalition among:
SEIU [Service Employees International Union]
MoveOn.org Political Action
Center for American Progress *cough*Hillary*cough*
USAction
Win Without War
Vote Vets [Wes Clark]
Campaign for America’s Future
USSA [United States Student Association]
that’s one helluva vipers’ nest.
Murtha’s proposal, which has been kept under tight wraps, is likely to pass the House next month or in early April as part of the supplemental spending bill, Democratic insiders said, if the language remains tightly focused and does not threaten funding levels for combat forces already in the field. The battle will then shift to the Senate. Anti-war groups like Mazzie’s are prepared to spend at least $6.5 million on a TV ad campaign and at least $2 million more on a grass-roots lobbying effort. Vulnerable GOP incumbents like Sens. Norm Coleman of Minnestoa, Susan Collins of Maine, Gordon Smith of Oregon and John Sununu of New Hampshire will be targeted by the anti-war organizations, according to Mazzie and former Rep. Tom Andrews, D-Maine, head of the Win Without War Coalition.
...If the Senate does not approve these new funding restrictions, or if Senate Republicans filibuster the supplemental bill, Pelosi and the House Democratic leadership would then be able to ratchet up the political pressure on the White House to accede to their demands by “slow-walking” the supplemental bill. Additionally, House Democrats could try to insert the Murtha provisions into the fiscal 2008 defense authorization and spending bills, which are scheduled to come to the floor later in the year.
"We are not cutting funding for any [unit] in Iraq,” said the aide, who admitted the Democratic maneuver would not prevent the president from sending some additional forces to Baghdad. “We want to limit the number who can go ... We’re trying to build a case that the president needs to change course."
that’s not called “building a case,” Sonny; that’s called outright blackmail.
Their outfit; MoveCongress.org There’s a lovely interview with Lynn Woolsey *spit* bleating Sheehanesquely.
Note the look on ThankYouNancy’s face.
I wonder if Murtha’s uncomfortable with her hand up there… *shudder* working his mouth.
