Next time you see Rosemary being touted as " an unlikely peace activist " take it with a grain of salt. The lady is a dyed in the wool leftist who despises America. From her own article on her own site : "The United States owes reparations to the people of Iran. How much should be paid for the 1953 coup? How much is a democracy worth? Here's a thought. Suppose the U.S. gave all of its nuclear weapons to Iran. Would that be a win, win, win scenario? The...
Bill Roggio (embedded blogger in Fallujah) has a great update on the state of the Iraqi military up on his site. Of particular interest to me was his break down of Iraqi Army failures and successes. I find the contrast between their military and ours fascinating (my comments below). Some excerpts: (Emphasis mine. – GW) " Iraqi Army Shortcomings Logistics. The IA logistical system is broken at the battalion, brigade, division and Ministry of ...
I have a very geeky intelligence article for later but for now I want to update the article I wrote about the creeping effects of Islamism across Europe and Britain. Many commentors to the original article simply couldn't beleive the the problem is as serious or as pervasive as the linked content would seem to have suggested. For those folks I give you this tidbit from the mornings news perusal. "Halal meat is being served to pupils in sta...
Mark Steyn has posited that Europe is rapidly approaching (and perhaps has even passed) a demographic point of no return. Dharma’s recent article regarding the extermination of Christian references during the Christmas season in Britain seems to re-enforce the point. I ask you here at JU and beyond the walls of this blog to answer these questions: Can Europe reverse the trend or is it already too late? Wi...
Sorry it took me so long to even get around to this folks, but Oleteach suggested to me that I not leave you all hanging (if any of you even read this anymore). Fact it I simply don't have time to blog. When I first started blogging I had huge quantities of time (even at work) and I used them to wrtie. Now I still have some time for non-work/schoola ctivity but blogging just doesn't make the cut priority-wise. I don't feel it is fair of me to...
Greywar – Agent of the Vast Doughnut Conspiracy Part 2 Part one found here . The next morning after we recruits were subjected to a very long battery of medical testing we were finally allowed to see a career counselor who offered us a list of MOSs (Military Occupational Specialties) that were “the only ones available right now”. As I recall I was offered the opportunity to become an 88M (Truck driver), 92F (Fueler), and 54B (Nuclear, Biolo...
Posting this article seems to have broken the JU Blog portion of my blog. The article is fine if you view it through the forums but this is what it looks like from the JU blog side of the house (on my computer at least) : I can't edit it or even delete it. Pretty sure this is a bit of a Javascript thing (sitemeter's JScript counter most likely) but I can't seem to fix it from here. Sorry.
Greywar – Agent of the Vast Doughnut Conspiracy *Thanks to chiprj for helping to fix this article! Note : Sorry for the prolonged absence. My perverse nature actually made it more difficult to start writing again the more people clamored for it. I know, its weird. Nonetheless I am back and with a multi-parter no less! (Settle in folks this is a long one...) - G I was a loony left liberal. Thats right folks, I was a dyed-in-the-wool ...
Now I am not sure how many of you have already seen this reeking example of auto-ambulatory fecal matter that the left calls Jesse MacBeth but for those who have not heard of him let me sum up: MacBeth claims to have been a U.S. Army Ranger with the 3rd Ranger Bn 75th Ranger Regiment in Fallujah, Iraq for 16 months during the start of the war. Additionally said Ranger claims to have committed war crimes such as the delibera...
Look... I love Bill. I thought Bill was a breath of fresh air on the scene years ago. Problem is that the rest of the industry has been catching upt o Bill's schtick and now even the loathed (by the far-right at least) Steven Colbert is doing Bill better than Bill himself. I still turn to Bill for coverage of important issues that aren't media darlings (child abuse, ACLU hypocracy, crooked judges) but for sheer enjoyment and "everyman" perspective on current events I wil...
Sorry for the long hiatus folks... I simply have not had the time or (more importantly) the inclination to blog for quite a bit. Fact of the matter was that with my life in flux (post ETS) I just didn't want to spend time on blogging in the manner I had become accumstomed to. In Iraq and in Texas as well I had a lot of time to kill and JU provided a great way to kill it. Nowadays I simply don't seem to have as many hours available for the r...
I was over browsing the EBGames site and swearing to myself that MS simply doesn't know how to manage gamers when it comes to the 360. I mean who the hell waits this long between game releases? Then my hypocrisy hit me full in the face as I was checking the ADOM site (again) in hopes of some small shred of an update from Thomas Biskup. He only keeps a few of his "blog" entries on the main page so the real story is in the version history ...
There are three in my current office who could serve in an intelligence capacity: Skyler, Kenny, Robert. Each has the aptitude necessary for intelligence work.. should I push them? God, I hate being away from the national need.
This is what laughingly passes for a recently released list for the 360 over at EBGames.com: More than a full month since a game release for a brand new platform? Is it any wonder they are taking so much heat over the lack of backwards compatibility? If you don't give users new stuff to play you had better let them play their old stuff at the very least. At the time of this writing two of our big favs (World Series of Poker and Battlefront 2) ...
My first encounter with the incredible credulity that people attribute to any crap thing showing up in their email inbox came when I was working at the National Security Agency. Within the Agency at the time there existed a proto-news group affair that was called ENLIGHTEN if memory serves. This was confined to the TS/SCI networks of the agency intranet itself with some select technical groups mirrored in by the tech guys. The Agency was a...
