U.S. Airstrikes on ISIS at the Mosul Dam

ISIS is not a JV team and the Yazidis aren't out of the woods yet. And let's face it, "targeted" airstrikes will not win the war in Iraq and even al Qaeda is not on the run. Almost everything you've heard from this president is bogus.

In spite of the fact that president Obama gave away his "strategy" (if you can call it that) to the enemy, basically telling them that we'll be out of Iraq before anyone really gets hurt and our airstrikes will be limited, the U.S. military actually increased its airstrikes today on ISIS (a group I refuse to call the Islamic State). Over this weekend, we have been gleefully destroying our own military vehicles and other equipment ISIS stole from Iraqi "ground forces" (if you can call them that) and blowing them to smithereens.

There have been 14 strikes in a joint military effort to retake the Mosul Dam near Irbil (which, coincidentally, was supposed to be Barack's middle name but it wasn't Islamic enough). Without control of this damn, the damn ISIS terrorists could open the floodgates and drown thousands of normal people in its path.

The weekend attacks were launched as Kurdish Peshmerga and Iraqi forces fought a large ground operation to retake the dam. 

Fun Facts: the Mosul Dam is the largest dam in Iraq and provides power and water to northern Iraq. It was first seized by ISIS on August 7th.

Fighter aircraft and drones conducted about 23 airstrikes near the dam and thus far, not a drop of water has been spilled. Commander of Kurdish forces, Gen. Tawfik Desty (his friends call him "Chesty") said they now control the eastern part of the dam, but the fighting rages on.

According to Fox News, U.S. defense sources state that the fighting is far from being over and in order to retake the dam, a "lengthy multi-phase operation" will be needed. But a senior official said that the operation will be mostly on the shoulders of the Kurdish Peshmerga forces because we don't want the world to see us as bullies or as being a country that is effective in actually bringing about real hope and change for the Yazidis and other minorities of the world.

The Sunday airstrikes also used bombers that have been part of the humanitarian effort to help Americans in Iraq and others who don't believe that Allah is the answer to their problems, but the actual cause of their problems.

A-10 Warthogs, which are used to provide close air support to ground troops, were also used and hopefully shot the crap out of ISIS with their farting 30 mm cannons. Watch the video and see just how cool these birds are.

But with Obama's military budget cuts, the A-10 is slated to be scrapped--just another brilliant strategy from our Community Organizer in Chief.

Bullies, Dummies and Schmucks: the BDS Movement

The BDS movement, like another kind of movement, stinks of anti-Semitism. American and Canadian cretins are trying to prevent an Israeli cargo ship from docking on the west coast of the US and Canada, says Al Gore's favorite media midget, Aljazeera. The protesters, all creative geniuses, are calling the blocking of the ship "Block the Boat." Evidently, they don't know the difference between a ship and a boat, but they don't teach that in Human Sexuality class.

The good news is that for many of these so-called activists, they will come the closest they've been to water in months, I suspect, and maybe they will put it to good use, but I doubt it--they didn't often put mom and dad's college money to good use.

The shipping company, Zim, is Israel's largest, and Aljazeera had the opportunity to spew it's anti-Zionist venom all over itself by quoting the organization: "From its founding in 1945 by the Jewish Agency for Israel and the Histradut, Zim has served Israeli settler-colonialism, bringing settlers to Palestine and serving as Israel's only maritime connection during the 1948 war, supplying food, freight, and military equipment used of course to carry out the Nakba. The worldwide commerce conducted by Zim today funds the occupation of Palestine with revenue generated on every continent."

Hamas and the Shieldren

The Nakba is an Arabic word meaning "catastrophie." Arabs call the day (generally considered May 15th) as the Day of Catastrophie, because that is Israel's Independence Day and the day, returning to the land where Jews had been exiled two thousand years before, endured countless pogroms, expulsions from many countries, and religious persecution. 

Muslims have always hated the Jews--it's something they are taught as children. Now we have Westerners who believe that they hold the moral high ground because they don't like the Jewish people to have anything for themselves, including their own lives.

There are no plans by the International Longshoremen and Warehousemen Unions (ILWU) to participate in this year's protest like they did in 2010.

Arab Press Can't Believe Muslims Don't Speak Out Against ISIS

The Arab press is attacking the Islamic State terrorists for making the rest of Islam look bad. Many Muslim leaders and Arab pundits are calling the "actions" of IS "cancerous," and that it makes other Islamic jihad terrorism pale in comparison.

Muslim imams and other members of the so-called "religion of peace", such as the the Ayatollah, Osama bin Laden, Anwar al-Awlaki, Imad Mughniyah, Hassan Izz-Al-Din, Ali Atwa, Abdul Rahman Yasin, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Ahmed Ibrahim Al-Mughassil, Ali Saed Bin Ali El-Hoorie, Ibrahim Salih Mohammed Al-Yacoub, Abdelkarim Hussein Mohamed Al-Nasser, Mohammed Atef, Ayman al-Zawahiri, Mustafa Mohamed Fadhil, Ahmed Ghailani, Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, Sheikh Ahmed Salim Swedan, Anas al-Liby, Saif al-Adel, Ahmed Mohammed Hamed Ali and Mushin Musa Matwali Atwah, to name just a few, were criticized in the past for not condemning terrorist acts against innocent civilians. 

All these terrorists had to say for themselves was that nobody who refuses to worship Allah is innocent. They added, "How do I know? The Koran tells me so." Okay, I added that--it comes from an old spiritual song.

But an editorial in Al-Quds Al-Arabi based in London (where English soldiers are beheaded on the street and there are 'no go' zones galore) called on moderate Muslims to denounce ISIS. "All we have to do to understand the high price that Muslims pay on all levels [for such actions] is to see how Westerners snatch up [such reports on] ISIS's conquests, invasions and despicable actions, and share them on social media in order to tarnish the image of Islam," the editorial read. "We haven't heard one single voice in the camp of moderate Islam condemning taking women prisoner or expropriating peaceful citizen's property and money of ISL in Mosul, or any who distanced themselves from the shocking fatwas that seem to be carefully formulated for [maximum] service to the enemy."

I take issue on that statement. We Westerners don't "snatch up" reports on "ISIS's conquests, invasions and despicable actions" to share them on social media in order to "tarnish the image of Islam;" we put them on social media to DESCRIBE Islam. Some of us even quote the Koran to show why terrorism is taking place in the world. It's part of jihad and the caliphate. Who spoke out against the fatwah on Salman Rushdie for writing Satanic Verses? The same self-righteous Arab press who wrote this editorial said nothing.


Young Muslims do not stand up against ISIS, many actually leave their family to join the terrorist group. And to refer to ISIS as "militants" gives them credibility of purpose. They are terrorists, plain and simple. They kill people who don't view religion, freedom or democracy the same way as they do, and they are totally intolerant.

But it isn't only Muslims who refuse to make their voices heard, it's all the PC liberals, the gays, the women's organizations who pretend to advocate for women the world over. When GLAAD takes a serious stand against Iran hanging gays, when NOW takes a stand about the stoning of women for myriad reasons, then I'll change my tune.

The Associated Press claims that CAIR, "the largest Muslim civil rights organization in the United States has also rebuked the militants and repudiated those who encourage Americans and others to join extremist groups." But CAIR is as much for civil rights for Muslims as they are for defending Israel's right to exist--not at all.

CAIR has been designated as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trials and many of its leaders are associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization whose charter clearly states "It is in the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated, to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet." Hassan al-Banna, Muslim Brotherhood founder.

"American Muslims view the actions of ISIS as un-Islamic and morally repugnant," CAIR said. "No religion condones the murder of civilians, the beheading of religious scholars or the desecration of houses of worship. We condemn the actions of ISIS and reject its assertion that all Muslims are required to pay allegiance to its leader."

But the Koran, Islam's most "holy" book, says: "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not." (Koran 2:216) 

Maybe CAIR isn't being straight with us. I don't mean to imply that they're being homosexual with us by not being straight, homosexuality is un-Islamic and merits death.

There are 109 verses that call for Muslims to fight non-believers in Islam. There are also plenty of examples in the Hadith, or biography of Mohammed, the prophet of the religion of peace, but you get the point.

Our Perfunctory POTUS

Eighty Yazidi men were slaughtered today by ISIS, but President Obama assures us that there is nothing to worry about--he has everything under control. Well, I know 80 people who no longer have anything to worry about thanks to Obama's perfunctory intervention. In addition to the murders, ISIS kidnapped the women and boys from the town.

The worst part of it all, as far as Obama is concerned, is that it interrupted his golf game.

Barack Obama has ordered "targeted airstrikes" to disturb the onslaught of the slaughterers in Iraq as they push on to slaughter non-Muslims and establish their caliphate. Obama calls these airstrikes "targeted" but what they really are is "limited." With the exception of carpet-bombing, all airstrikes are targeted.

Mr. Obama only wants limited airstrikes because he doesn't want his voting base to view him as a "hawk." Unfortunately for Obama, people are beginning to view him as a community organizer and not much else. He certainly doesn't appear to be a serious Commander in Chief.

Regarding Israel and Hamas, it appears that Obama favors the terrorists, but he perfunctorily has to say that any country being attacked with rockets has the right to defend itself. But he has also said that he would like to see Israel go back to its 1967 borders where it would be virtually impossible for them to defend themselves.

Our perfunctory POTUS has said that he will bring the nation together. "There is no red America. There is no blue America. There is the United States of America." We can see how well that's working out for us.

With the police shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO, President Obama made the perfunctory remarks about how we need to be non-violent, etc., etc. Then he went on to practically accuse the police of murdering Brown before the facts are in and before a trial has taken place. And it's always a white on black situation in which he goes public, never a black on white or black on black. He reminds me of a certain black so-called "Reverend."

It is when the president can divide us that he stops being perfunctory and starts showing his true self. Thankfully this is his final term, but if Hillary somehow gets elected, we will have had two consecutive Alinsky leftists running the show.

Michael Brown and New Facts

The rioting over the shooting of Michael Brown has slowed in the not so sleepy town of Ferguson, MO. Michael, an 18 year old 6 foot 4 inch, 292 pound black man was shot and killed by a police officer who was until today, not identified by Ferguson Police for his own protection.

Witnesses said that Michael was stopped by the officer, had his hands in the air, and was shot several times. I had difficulty believing this story when I first heard it because while it could happen, it didn't make any sense. 

So who was Michael Brown?

For sure, according to all media reports that I heard, Michael Brown seemed like such a nice kid, kind of like Trayvon Martin. Trayvon was that young man who was murdered by a white Hispanic named George Zimmerman and who looked like President Obama's non-existing son. Michael was to go to college in a week or so, and who knows what accomplishments he could have given to the world--maybe even winning a Nobel Peace Prize like Mr. Obama and Yassar Arafat. Maybe a prize in physics.

But Michael Brown will never win anything because they don't give out Nobel Peace Prizes or even prizes in Physics posthumously.

The very right Reverend Al Sharpton made a beeline to Ferguson to jump on the No Justice, No Peace bandwagon. This is a wagon pulled by white liberals who see themselves as heroes of the black struggle in America. Reverend Sharpton (who I`ve never actually seen him in a photo in church) marched with Michael`s mother and led protesters, in a march against "The Man." Also in attendance were leaders of the New Black Panthers--you remember them--they intimidated white voters in Philadelphia at a polling place when Obama was running for president. Unfortunately, even though it was clearly shown on video, Department of Justice head, Eric Holder said there wasn't enough to make a case as long as he's in charge.


Well anyway, it seems as though Michael Brown may not have been as innocent as witnesses described. It now appears that Michael was killed after a robbery of a convenience store in which he was suspected of trying to make off with a box of cigars after pushing a clerk out of the way as he made his exit. There are photos to corroborate this, but if Eric Holder gets involved, this may not be enough to exonerate the cop, now identified as Darren Wilson, who was apparently trying to do his job.

Wilson has been on the force 6 years and has an unblemished record. Police say the shot that killed Brown was fired after a struggle that was ignited by the officer confronting Brown--that's what I mean by doing his job.

But because Brown was Black and Wilson is white, even President Barack Obama had to chime in and say things about the Ferguson Police before any of the facts are in. Of course, this proves my point about liberals not needing facts to make claims.

Now I realize that the story isn't over and all the facts are not in, but I'm happy I trusted my sense of logic and didn't jump to conclusions like those people in Ferguson, MO.

 It looks like it was a righteous shooting, but I will wait to find out, unlike some reverends, lawyers and presidents I know who tend to lead with their behinds.

Nouri al-Maliki and His Job Market Woes

Nouri al-Maliki, the Iraq Prime Minister, is no longer supposed to be in power but he refuses to leave office even after they took his computer offline and cut off his phone. In fact, he actually refuses to leave the building.

"Where will I go? What will I do?" al Maliki asked. "Sell kulfi on the street?" Kulfi is a form of Middle East ice cream and it's rather tasty--Nouri could do worse.

Haider al-Abadi is slated to take over as Prime Minister but Nouri is having the toughest time letting go. Meanwhile, nothing is being done about the Islamic State, (formerly known as ISIS, which I refuse to explain any longer) and people are being slaughtered and some punk-ass jerk with a beard is warning us, Big Satan, that they're coming to behead us where we live.

Al-Maliki doesn't have many options if he is forced to leave the building. He is never going to win on "The Bachelor" because he looks too much like Mr. Potato Head or Henry Waxman. Women don't go for that look, I am told. Nouri can't dance, don't ask him. And he has no other talents such as arts and crafts.

Wait. Maybe he can become a community organizer. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Mohammed, Shaitan, Hamas, and Pleurisy

If all the Jews in the world moved to a colony on the moon, the Muslims would commandeer rocket ships and go there to kill them. They wouldn't build the rocket ships--the most sophisticated invention they've come up with is the Sleep Alarm; it sounds a buzzer when a Muslim falls asleep while praying. Rocket ships are a more complicated than that.

With only 2 hours to go before the cease-fire was to end, Hamas ceased waiting and fired 3 rockets into Israel, hoping to surprise civilians and maybe kill them some Jews. But don't blame Hamas for breaking the cease-fire prematurely--they don't use wristwatches or clocks.

I've said it before, having cease-fires is never going to end up in a long-lasting peace for Israel and Palestine. Cease-fires only give Hamas breathing room to reload and restock their supplies.

The only way this war is going to end is when Islam changes its belief that Jews come from apes and pigs and comes to the conclusion that they are actually people like them and do not deserve to be killed based upon the religion they were born into.

When Mohammed, (peas be up in him) was dying, he could not bring himself to the belief that he had pleurisy because that would have to be brought on by Shaitan, the devil. And of course, Mohammed was almost an angel, if beheading Jews, marrying 6 year old girls, and looting caravans was considered angelic at that time, so he could not be afflicted with the devil's curse. It had to be those damned Jews, as far as he could tell. He told his religious beheaders to get to work killing as many as they could for poisoning him. That's what he believed the Jews had done to them.

They didn't--the guy had a lung disease and he died, even though it is highly curable today. You'd think a prophet of Allah would have a little influence with the big guy, but no, he died. Says something about Mohammed's holy powers which he never, unfortunately, showed to anyone.

And that my dear children, is how Islamic hatred for the Jews began in earnest. I'm not joshing you.

Militant Terrorists: even Fox News got it wrong

Even Fox News refers to the Islamic State as a "militant" group. In an online article on Tuesday entitled: "Iraq militants changing tactics, complicating US airstrike mission," Fox explains how the IS terrorists are blending in among the population, "making targets more difficult."

Lt. General William Mayville Jr., director for operations with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said "The targeting in this is going to become more difficult." 

See, IS is using Hamas tactics, using civilians to help their cause, which under normal rules of war would be a crime.

While the airstrikes give these terrorists second thoughts about getting their supply of virgins and cause them to behave like cowards by hiding behind civilians, it also shows that in order for our air power to be effective, US ground forces would have to be deployed, and Obama has his political reasons to forbid that move.

So the killing of innocent civilians will continue unless the Yazidis can hold out until after the midterm elections are over, when Obama can be "more flexible" with his political decisions.

Defense sources told Fox News that tension between the White House, the Pentagon and the State Department is high because the military is being asked to fix a problem that could have been fixed best when it began and would have clearly saved lives. Now the military is limited in what they can do to fix the problems and Obama is on vacation.

John Rug 'n Plugs Kerry was clear that we will not be sending troops back into Iraq no matter how many innocent people were killed. 

Kerry was asked about the 7 year old Australian boy in Syria who was mugging for the cameras with the severed head of a Syrian soldier in his little hand. He was taken to Syria by his religious father who, rather than teaching his son how to feed the gas while driving the family car, took him to fight alongside him for the sake of jihad. "One of the most disturbing, stomach-turning, grotesque photographs ever displayed," Kerry said.

I guess he missed the photo of one of the five guys Obama freed for Sgt. Bergdahl. This terrorist had the heads of 5 guys he personally beheaded.

These are not militants. These are not animals because animals don't behead their own kind. These are Muslims who are simply emulating their prophet, Mohammed.

I have to say, I'm disappointed with Fox News.
