LIVE BY THE SWORD DIE BY THE SWORD TERRORIST SCUM

American traitor Omar Hammami who quickly rose through the ranks in Shabaab, al Qaeda's affiliate in Somalia, now says he fears the terror group may kill him.

Hammami a.k.a. Abu Mansour al Amriki ("the American"), released a short, 1:09-minute-long video in which he said he fears Shabaab may kill him due to differences with strategy and the implementation of Islamic law. Hammani's statement was posted by a jihadist known as "somalimuhajirwarrior," or "foreign Somali warrior," on a YouTube website earlier today, the SITE Intelligence Group reported.

"To whomever it may reach from the Muslims, from Abu Mansour al-Amriki, I record this message today because I feel that my life may be endangered by Harakat Shabaab al-Mujahideen due to some differences that occurred between us regarding matters of the Shariah (Islamic law) and matters of the strategy," according to a transcript of the statement that has been provided by the SITE Intelligence Group.

Am I the only one who sees the irony here? All I gotta say is you chose your lot in life - to join forces with a pack of murderous savages. Now they're turning their knives on you, and you want our sympathy? Don't hold your breath, scumbag.

SLUTGATE SITREP

I should start another blog: DESPATCHES FROM THE WAR ON WOMEN - the whole phony, contrived women's contraception scandal that was manufactured and propagated directly from the Obama Oval Office in a contrived attempt to draw voters attention away from the 20,000 ton gorilla in the room - the economy / unemployment / gas prices / housing slump - and recruit women voters to the Democrat cause.

The whole thing had all the earmarks of a Saul Alinsky manouever - as a strategist I saw this right away (Unconventional Warfare Rule #1 - Know Your Enemy. Rule #2 - Never Underestimate Your Enemy) and that's how I was able to call it for what it was.

Too bad it failed: a week later Barry Soetero's poll numbers are down three points to 41 - source: New York Times - and the guy they tried to isolate and assassinate a la Alinsky - Rush Limbaugh - only lost one advertiser (Carbonite - who's stock price promptly dropped 20%) and in the meantime picked up four new major advertisers.

How can this possibly be? Rush was supposed to be fired by now (maybe somebody can explaing to me how a self-employed businessman gets fired I still haven't figured that one out) or at the very least banished to Sirius yet there he is still going strong on the AM band; and after a week of phony outrage and strained attempts to brand Conservative Republicans as misogynist Neanderthals, women are voting in droves for the OTHER guy they tried to character-assassinate: Rick Santorum.

There IS a War on Women but it's not the Republicans who are waging it; the War on Women is being conducted by the Democrats and their willing minions in the Leftwing Lamestream Media and we all know who is on top of the Priority Targets list: Sarah Palin. They said ten times MORE deplorable things about Sarah than Rush EVER said about that flake Sandra Fluke and we're all still waiting for anything resembling an apology or a cry for civility.

Come to think of it I'm still waiting for an apology from the President of the United States for calling me and all my like-minded buddies "teabaggers" - we all know what that means Mr. President and so do you but just in case there's still somebody uninformed out there as to how Barack Hussein Obama refers to the majority of the Republican Party I'll fill you in: "teabagging" is slang for a sexual stunt that involves placing one's scrotum into the mouth of one's sexual partner - an act usually associated with the homosexual community.

As far as I'm concerned Rush shouldn't have apologized. What did he have to apologize for? Calling Sandra Fluke a slut and a prostitue? Both those words appear in the Bible multiple times, and excuse me but if you require $3000 of contraception a year I'd venture to say you ARE a slut, and if you expect me and everybody else to fund your fun then you ARE a prostitute.

Anyway I'm still waiting for an explaination for how and why Sandra Fluke - a self-proclaimed Lesbian - needs birth control for in the first place ? ? ? What? To keep her from CLONING herself?

Hmmm . . . come to think of it if there is a risk of THAT happening maybe the $3000 worth of contraception isn't such an outrageous concept after all . . .

ST. PADDYs DAY

In the ancient world, Ireland was the very edge of knowledge, a mysterious island with fertile soil but inhabited by strange and savage people. Ireland was never conquered by the Romans, indeed, the island’s recorded history did not begin until St. Patrick visited the island in the 4th century AD.

Saint Patrick (c. 387 – 17 March 460) was a Roman Briton and Christian missionary, most generally recognized patron saint of Ireland. When he was about 16, he was captured from Wales by Irish raiders and taken as a slave to Ireland, where he lived for six years before escaping and returning to his family. After entering the Church, he returned to Ireland as an ordained bishop in the north and west of the island, but little is known about the places where he worked. By the seventh century, he had come to be revered as the patron saint of Ireland.

The Book of Kells is the most treasured piece of literature in Ireland. Its origins are shrouded in a haze of mystery due to the chaos of the seventh and eighth centuries, but despite the ravaging of many a monastery in those days, the Book of Kells survived.

What makes the Book of Kells so fascinating and astonishing is the intricate illumination work done on each page of the text. Few examples of such quality medieval illumination exist elsewhere. The Book of Kells is a manuscript primarily dedicated to the four Gospels, and each page is a work of loving, carefully rendered art.

The Book of Kells now resides in Trinity College in Dublin, encased in glass, with one page turned every month for the viewing pleasure of visitors.

Thanks to everyone inquiring about my health - the fever lasted three or four days which is longer than usual. After the doc diagnosed pneumonia the antibiotics went to work. I was out of work for a week - which for me is unheard of - had some lingering chest congestion for a week after that but the thing that really got my attention was the weakened state this thing left me in. It's 2+ weeks and only after getting on the Guiness Recovery Diet am I now getting back into my workout routine. Happy Saint Paddy's Day!

A Tribute to Adam Brown: "Led by Faith"

OK I admit it - I took one look at this thing and thought "not another Navy SEAL tribute" . . . but I've got faith in the people who run the NRA Life of Duty so I looked at what they have going here.

The story of Adam Brown's youth parallels my own journey - how I ended up in the military and how I became a Green Beret. Adam Brown fell in battle against the enemies of our country and for that he has earned a place in Valhalla and we must honor his memory. The tribute put together here by NRA LOD and his family is remarkable, it is fitting and it does great honor to a worthy man. "Respect" - S.L.


NRA's Life of Duty is releasing this story in honor of Adam's passing on March 17, 2010 – the day the our nation lost one of it’s finest operators, husband, father, son, brother, brother-in-law, friend and inspiration.

If you are interested in reading more about Adam’s inspirational story, I encourage you to pre-order a copy of Fearless by Eric Blehm. Eric also wrote the book The Only Thing Worth Dying For, the heroic story of Special Forces Operational Detachment "Alpha" (ODA) 574.

WHO SERVES IN THE US MILITARY?

This table comes from a report by Shanea J. Watkins, Phd, originally posted on the Heritage Foundation website, 21 August 2008.

The findings here - that the majortiy of recruits and officers are from the upper financial tiers of our society - flies in the face of the oft-repeated Liberal myth that America's wars are fought by the poorest members of society, who cannot afford to go to college and gain entry to a better career.

In other words, people who go into the military are too stupid to do anything else, and therefore the military is like a form of Welfare. I have actually heard people say this right to my face.

These statistics and data analysis are in keeping with my own personal observations during my service in the Combat Arms from 1983 to 2008; (82d Airborne Division - Infantry - 5 years; Special Forces 20 years. - S.L.
