    Michelle,
    I emailed this to you but I think it got lost in the Petraeus coverage:

    Of Eagles and Chickens

    We Americans are a mix of birds,
    Some soarers, others grounders
    And from their strong, enduring words,
    More Eagles were among our Founders.
    But different birds this domain share,
    Some soaring, some just clucking
    While Eagles soar, patrol the air
    Penned Chickens wait for plucking.

    Eagles have sharp, raptor eyes,
    Not so in birds fear stricken
    An Eagle fights to own his skies,
    Not so the hen-housed Chicken.
    Feckless fowl, they placidly peck,
    Flocking to their foolish fate,
    Flashing blade on feathered neck,
    Must they always learn too late?

    That’s why we use the very word
    To taunt those who won’t fight;
    A Chicken is some fear-filled bird,
    Whose fear provokes his plight.
    Frightened fowl will surrender all,
    Hoping for a peaceful ending,
    Unmindful that their heads may fall,\Blind to bright blades descending.

    But Eagles being bolder birds,Seek our enemies in their lair,Screaming Eagles, forgoing words,
    Strike with deadly talons there.
    Proud raptors who together fight
    Know something Chickens never will,
    Love of country and birthright,
    A rara avis grounder skill.

    The anti-war capons of Answer And hysterical hens of Code Pink,
    Let bird flu turn into fowl cancer,
    And their pen is beginning to stink.
    As they flock to the Mall in September
    To disgrace and dishonor their nation
    It would behoove them to remember
    Watchful Eagles are on station.

    A Die-In. What a dud of a display. Stoned and drunk pot-bellied Baby Boomers and their quisling youth corps recruits standing around watching 4,000 bodies flopping around in costumes and fake blood.

    “Oh, it was so impactive to see how many bodies 4,000 look like.”

    Did it require alot of “planful thinking” to pull that off?

    These are such pathetic displays. They have so little sense of history- battles in the 2nd world war that involve MILLIONS of soldiers.

    Gettysburg- 50,000 plus DEAD in 72 hours.

    And this war has barely even begun. And it will be a horrible war that is fought here on our lands- for the first time since the American Revolution.

    (Think I’m joking? Check out the news breaking up in Dearborn Michigan where jihadi filth are walking the streets in camou fighting gear with AK47s. These pockets of fighters are all over our country.)

    These people will perish for many reasons, but mainly because of things like:

    1) their emotional constipation and arrested development,

    2)their cop-killer fetish over a self-serving Black man who is too chicken to face the consequences of his actions,

    3)their fascination with the sexual proclivities of radical lesbians (CODE PINK)as being some kind of vessel of real political power,

    4)their worship of Chipmunk Traitor Dennis Kucinich and his narcisstic dwarfish projections onto humanity’s future (just go home and write inconsequential books you can sell at a local Cleveland JC already),

    5)their twisted logic of supporting the troops but condemning the mission our troops are committed to seeing through,

    6) their absolute lack of understanding of radical Islam- our enemies since the 18th century, a thousand years after these goons decided that religious dogma was their ticket to the great whorehouse in the sky.

    The list goes into the hundreds.

    But what makes me sicker than what these pukers are doing in Washington this weekend is the belief among some Americans that we cannot win because they are “controlling the debate”.

    Maybe they are making more noise and grandstanding on TV cameras that are in collusion with them- but what change in the course of the war have they persuaded?

    Net result: NADA. Draw downs to “pre-surge levels”- the invasion force was a pre-surge level. DUH! Has there been any mention whatsover of reducing the carrier battle groups strength in the Gulf?

    Hell no. The debate is moot.

    Iran is in the cross hairs. Israel is siting its bombers. Syria can’t shoot dfor squat- but, oh! hey! Dennis Kucinich went and scratched the Syrian President’s behind.

    No sway. The “debate” is irrlevant. And the ridiculous self-measures of their own “effectiveness” have led them to commit hubris of the grandest design:

    Hillary has actually appointed the criminal Sandy Berger as her head security advisor. She makes no bones about laundering money donated to her by a known felon. Bill Clinto tells his donors that Hillary is winning over the military. Stuffed suit BH Obama calls for an immediate pullout from Iraq. Nancy Pelosi gloats over having passed a minimum wage bill while refusing to cop to the fact that she has failed to meet her campaign pledge to end the war in Iraq- and that she is through as any type of credible SOTH. But she has the gall to squak on national TV about “holding the President accountable about the war.”

    Bye-bye. Major military bases are already built in Iraq and throughout the Asian continent. Battle ready assets are trained on Iran. Germany has departed from the table over sanctions against Iran- signaling Foggy Bottom’s Madame Commandante Rice that the diplomatic approach has FAILED.

    Petraeus fulfilled the courtesy of briefing the Congress as ordered.

    Now it is back to the killing of our enemies in Iraq and Iran.

    What does the “debate” have to do with the remaining term of our President?

    They have been wrong since 9/11 on just about every issue involving the War on Terror.

    How are they controlling the debate?

    Let’s hear what the President has to say.

    Someone needs to round up some thirsty dogs, let them drink their fill near the DIE IN, and then turn them loose to lift some legs and squat some bottoms.

    A fitting salute to the filth they are.

    The President just said: “Throughout the remainder of our time in Iraq I will make sure our commanders on the ground will have adequate troops and the flexibility to be successful.”

    What debate? The Commander-in-Chief gives orders. The Congress has already signed on the dotted line- and they know it.

    The enemy within responds by a symbolic stunt- a die in.

    They are a disempowered group of losers who will rage about this until they can’t make it to their own rockin chairs. Have a nice life.

    Gen. Bui Tin Describes North Vietnam’s Victory

    Q: Was the American antiwar movement important to Hanoi’s victory?

    A: It was essential to our strategy. Support of the war from our rear was completely secure while the American rear was vulnerable. Every day our leadership would listen to world news over the radio at 9 a.m. to follow the growth of the American antiwar movement. Visits to Hanoi by people like Jane Fonda, and former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and ministers gave us confidence that we should hold on in the face of battlefield reverses. We were elated when Jane Fonda, wearing a red Vietnamese dress, said at a press conference that she was ashamed of American actions in the war and that she would struggle along with us.

    They don’t seem to realize that nobody takes them seriously but themselves, and the rest of the world is just shaking their heads at such juvenile (and impotent) antics.

    Jim Pinkerton in Newsday compared this year 2007 to 1971, when Hollywood and the MSM moved to the left and the public in reaction moved to the right. While we wanted out of Vietnam in 1971, we also didn’t want to lose, something that was lost on the Democrats. When the left-wing elites dumped on us back then, we responded by reelecting Nixon by a landslide even though we knew that his ethics were, to say the least, suspect.

    Today, a similar situation prevails. We would dearly love to exit Iraq, but not in humiliation, which again is lost on the Democrats. They would rather suck up to their loony left base than listen to the public and it might cost them dearly next year.

    I will be there blogging away. If you’ve never seen a big lefty protest jamboree in Washington, DC, I recommend the experience. You’ll rarely see so much Stupid marching down the street. Keep your eye peeled for all the Communist banners. No, I’m not kidding.

    I’m not convinced that ANSWER can muster the numbers it did in the past. In the year after the war began, ANSWER could draw 50,000 protestors, which it would then claim to be ten times that number. Since then, their numbers have been declining. They could only draw ten thousand protestors last time. And they were opposed by the Gathering of Eagles. The one thing that protestors hate most is being protested. They think it’s unfair and outrageous.

    Most of the protestors come to these things to party. They’re not serious people. If they are counter-protested, that takes the fun out of it and they won’t show up for the next protest. That’s how you beat down these anti-American protests.

    Not misunderstanding….If you can’t understand my frustration and the point I am making consistantly here you are either, well, unintelligent or a “sheeple” as Savage and Mister Teach have said. Really…I am not trying to demean anyone but I blog quite vigorously against liberal stupidity and I come here to join you people occasionally. I agree with Michelle on practically every issue she posts, I fervently agree with Bill O most of the time. I simply feel that as the ones with the resourses and finances…At least Sean, Rush and Bill O, (I don’t know about Michelle), the ones who think we should continue the fight are not doing nearly enough to counter the slime on the left. I don’t know if you are paying attention or what but we have been getting our asses kicked for 4 years now to the detriment of the soldiers, the Iraqis and to our country. And to deny we are (as you and many here do) seems hypocritical.

    It is unfortunate but I plan to attend the funeral of Patriot Guard Rider Greg Bowman on the 15th, in Princeton, IL, who trajically died in a motorcycle accident.

    Bowman was a colleague of my wife as well as a patriot, who extended himself to protect the families of our fallen soldiers and marines in Iraq and Afghanistan against the likes of the so-called “Reverend” Phelps, who work at disrupting their funerals.

    According to the Peoria, IL paper, Phelps and his band of thuggish assh*les will be picketing Bowman’s funeral on Saturday, out of spite.

    Ladies and gentlemen, I have asserted that today’s leftists are nothing more than rehashed communist propaganda. Many consider such views to be “right wing nonsense”, but when you say something so dramatic, it should be backed up by credible sources. Well, here it is, folks. Straight from the horse’s mouth, or the Bear’s mouth, to be more accurate.

    Ion Pacepa, the former head of communist Romania’s intelligence station in West Germany, is the highest ranking KGB officer to defect to the West. He explains quite clearly where all this undermining of the American President on the international stage came from. The USSR. Vladimir I. Lenin’s “useful idiots” doctrine proved more brilliant than anyone could have predicted. It has worked to near perfection, and continues to this day even though it’s source is now defunct. He has written an op-ed in the Opinion Journal dated Aug. 7, 2007.

    Please, read it all. Here is a taste:

    Sowing the seeds of anti-Americanism by discrediting the American president was one of the main tasks of the Soviet-bloc intelligence community during the years I worked at its top levels. This same strategy is at work today, but it is regarded as bad manners to point out the Soviet parallels. For communists, only the leader counted, no matter the country, friend or foe. At home, they deified their own ruler–as to a certain extent still holds true in Russia. Abroad, they asserted that a fish starts smelling from the head, and they did everything in their power to make the head of the Free World stink.

    The communist effort to generate hatred for the American president began soon after President Truman set up NATO and propelled the three Western occupation forces to unite their zones to form a new West German nation. We were tasked to take advantage of the reawakened patriotic feelings stirring in the European countries that had been subjugated by the Nazis, in order to shift their hatred for Hitler over into hatred for Truman–the leader of the new “occupation power.” Western Europe was still grateful to the U.S. for having restored its freedom, but it had strong leftist movements that we secretly financed. They were like putty in our hands.

    The European leftists, like any totalitarians, needed a tangible enemy, and we gave them one. In no time they began beating their drums decrying President Truman as the “butcher of Hiroshima.” We went on to spend many years and many billions of dollars disparaging subsequent presidents: Eisenhower as a war-mongering “shark” run by the military-industrial complex, Johnson as a mafia boss who had bumped off his predecessor, Nixon as a petty tyrant, Ford as a dimwitted football player and Jimmy Carter as a bumbling peanut farmer. In 1978, when I left Romania for good, the bloc intelligence community had already collected 700 million signatures on a “Yankees-Go-Home” petition, at the same time launching the slogan “Europe for the Europeans.”

    This sounds very familiar, if you saw John F’n Kerry’s testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971.

    During the Vietnam War we spread vitriolic stories around the world, pretending that America’s presidents sent Genghis Khan-style barbarian soldiers to Vietnam who raped at random, taped electrical wires to human genitals, cut off limbs, blew up bodies and razed entire villages. Those weren’t facts. They were our tales, but some seven million Americans ended up being convinced their own president, not communism, was the enemy. As Yuri Andropov, who conceived this dezinformatsiya war against the U.S., used to tell me, people are more willing to believe smut than holiness.

    Does this not enrage you? Does this not enlighten you as to the origin and purpose of today’s slander campaign by the leftist “useful idiots”?

    Mark Levin is right. They are simply Stalinists in our midst, not just MoveOn, but the Democrat Party itself. Today’s Jackass party has taken up the mantle of the KGB to destroy America as we have known it, to rebuild it as the United Socialist States of America. They are coming to Washington, DC, to continue their traitor tradition.

    Don’t let them win, not in ‘08, not ever.

    At one point, a father of one of the soldiers came over and removed the cross with his sons name on it. They call it vandalism in the papers…but I’d feel the same way. Not ok to use peoples family members names who died in war for an anti war statement…similar to here.

    And Bear….bla,bla,bla ….put up or shut up already. If you don’t think this group of losers has sway in Iraq and the world think again.

    A troll is a troll is a troll is a troll- no matter what self-appointed role you say that you are playing here.

    You ain’t no Dennis Miller; that’s for sure.

    The burden of proof is on you about the debate being controlled by the Left.

    How does one control a debate by taking an untenable position?

    The Left acts much like you do here in this forum- they say stupid crap, call people names, and then plug their ears when anybody attempts to respond.

    Does your mom know you have internet access and are lying about your age?

    Your amateurish attempts at political dialogue fall short of convincing anybody that you know what you are talking about. But I digress.

    The burden of proof, like I said, is on you.

    So far, the anti-war lobby has failed to control the direction of the war.

    What the Commander in Chief has deemed necessary he has been supported in receiving. And this will continue.

    It stands to reason that the “debate” is irrelevant.

    And even more irrelevant are the Left’s so-called “Direct action” protests.

    If their goal is to embolden the enemy then let them be arrested for treason. I hardly think it is their goal.

    Is their goal to bring the war to an end?

    Perhaps- but they have failed so far.

    So what are the grounds for saying the debate is under the Left’s control.

    It would appear the US war effort is allowing the Left to rant and gesture all they want- and then do what needs doing.

    Do anti-war actions “embolden” the enemy? Let’s take a closer look at it.

    I don’t know if it emboldens Muqtada al-Sadr. He lost enough of his “troops” to throw in his head wrap.

    Has it emboldened AQ in Iraq? They are being driven out of province after province by Iraqis.

    Is it “emboldening” Iran?

    I hardly think so. Iran is in a race against time. And Petraeus’ report was bad news for them. They have had their curtain pulled back- and US forces are going to go after them in earnest now.

    Iran is desparate- not emboldened.

    Do the Iraqis give a crap about the die-in going on in Washington? It doesn’t appear so. And the rhetoric about “getting the American troops out of Iraq” by Iraqis? Where has that gone?

    Care to comment?

    As for your Viet Nam parallel, there is something the Left had then that they don’t have now- a draft.

    Consider putting a sock in it, Child.

    Further, comments directed at me personally about putting up or shutting up:

    you have no clue as to who I am or what I do and what I am prepared to do in the face of the very real threats we face here in the SFO Bay Area.

    Now go back to your narcisstic demagoguery and try to keep feeding yourself if you can.

    Your blah-blah makes me ha-ha. 8)

    Where? At stake where? You make no sense. You pose questions that I am to assume mean something? Who is the we? Do you actually believe that people here who read you are somehow in synch with the mish mash you write? Mocking you is a foregone conclusion- you mock yourself with this type of drivel.

    Now …it is your opinion that five years of Kerry, Kennedy, Gore, Durbin, Reid and Feingold, and five years of the Times and their 70+ Abu Gharab stories, and torture rhetoric, added to five years of European weenies, UN idiots, and Hollyweird blowhards and combined with the five years of inquiries, suppositions, testamonies, and investigations into the Bush administration played little to no role in the recruitment of steady supply jihadists to kill in Iraq?

    When? Now? What in creation are you talking about? Is this your small way of putting me in your rhetorical cross hairs?

    While you are busy stuffing C4 into your orificies with your inane and *meaningless* question, let me provide some ignition.

    First: Even the question you framed shows you have little to zero understanding of the enemy or the tactic of taking the fight to the enemy.

    Second: Do you actually think that all of that propaganda emboldens an enemy to wage jihad?

    Compared to what a Nasrallah or a Khameini or an al-Sadr or the many imams in hundreds of Muslim communities across the Middle East have taught and conditioned young boys-to-men to do in the name of Islam- all of that crap you cite above is nil by comparison.

    The American military is still in Iraq, Afghanistan and is there supported by an unprecedented military infrastructure on the Asian continent.

    What bearing has all the distracting nonsense you believe is helping to “recruit” jihadis on that simple fact?

    Nothing.

    It is a fact that is empowering our military to kill tens of thousands of those turds- and their leadership. Our very presence in the region has pressurized the jihadists to fight *on our terms* on ground of our choosing.

    The crap you are talking about continues unabated. And so does the killing of the enemy, and the increasing pressure on Syria and Iran to put up or shut up.

    The situation in Iraq today is far different and far better in our favor than when we started- and all of what you believe is so important has happened in between.

    That is your argument right? Is that what I read? We are winning the debate and have been for the past five years?

    Wrong. That is not my argument. That is your way of setting up a straw man to run your drivel.

    You’ve got it wrong.

    I did not say we are winning the debate. You cannot quote anything that would support that assertion.

    What I said was the debate is irrelevant. If anything, I am saying we have conceded the debate but have pursued the goal of accomplishing the military/political objectives in Iraq.

    They have not been emboldened by the left….right?

    I am saying the substance of the enemy’s will to fight comes from their belief in Islam.

    And when they take up arms each day to fight, do you really think that the hell they are catching from American fighting units is assuaged at all by the thought of Cindy Sheehan or George Soros being on their side?

    You are a joke.

    The mindset of a radical jihadist is based on a deep sense of inferiority- and that is what their leaders and teachers prey upon to keep them under arms in service to Islam.

    Anything you’ve cited is a result of psy-ops perpetrated not for the sake of keeping jihadis fighting as much as it is set up to break the will of Americans.

    Until that promise is fulfilled, jihadis continue to die- for Islam, not because they have been emboldened by Sean Penn’s views on the war.

    It’s a little hard to swallow that somebody will die for that while they have a bazooka shoved up the same place where your own skull seems to reside.

    Just as Jane, John and their ilk played no role in Nam?

    Read what I wrote.

    What North Viet Nam capitalized on was that there was a broad based movement in the US to stop the war due to the draft.

    There is no such movement now. This war is not touching MILLIONS of lives of Americans the way the Viet Nam war was.

    Jane and John had an impact because there was a movement supporting them *in the streets*.

    The media? Doesn’t seem to be putting people in the streets to any effect. Cindy Sheehan has been their big thrust- and she has come off like the ass she is.

    You are an ass

    That ranks me at least twelve levels above you, Beastie.

    and to respond as you desire…There is no question but that the far left has not only emboldened the enemy but their selfish, irresponsible rhetoric has cost the lives of thousands of Iraqis and soldiers….Without a shred of doubt in my mind.

    The driving force behind the enemy is 99.9% Islamic fascist suicidal ideology and .1 per cent Sean Penn.

    Part of that 99.9% is a micro-strategy to conduct psy-ops against the Iraqis and Americans alike: murder everybody, as much as they can, everyday.

    That emboldens the enemy- murder and bloodlust in the name of Allah, or die trying.

    Not Susan Sarandon.

    “To respond as you desire?” you make no sense, Boy.

    PS….A Bear in SF…ALlllllRIGHTY THEN….lol

    And this is supposed to mean what? Is this a provocation? Is this an ad hominem attack?

    Didn’t we just have a big discussion about the rights of a certain protected group last week, one in which you presented yourself as such an advocate on their behalf?

    Oh, but it isn’t what you meant right? You just worded it so you can say it meant something else.

    Nice try. You’ve lowered yourself another nine levels.

    How is that working for you?

    Anyways, I live somewhere else. Try to keep up.

    The bottom line is: the big threat of the Congressional surrender monkeys and their Lefty associates is that the US military is going to be defunded and the war brought to a halt.

    It hasn’t worked yet. And it is causing some of them to re-think their positions because it might cause them to fail to win the White House. They are ineffectual and in disarray.

    They are in conflict with a President whom they believe is stupid- but they can’t seem to be right about anything concerning the issues over which they are in conflict.

    So their threats are hollow- because they love their own power too much to risk losing it, which they will most certainly do if they continue to work at cross purposes against the President and the American people.

    Dr. Jack Wheeler, the engineer of the Reagan Revolution said recently:

    “Take this just-released UPI-Zogby poll revealing that Americans believe the US is safer from terrorism now than before 9/11. What’s worse for the Dems is the poll found that 60% of Americans feel that why the US hasn’t been attacked since 2001 “is a direct result of US government actions” - i.e., the actions of President George Bush.”

    So, DartBag, what exactly is the value and relevance of your “emboldening the enemy” argument?
