Anti-war congresswoman who protested surge now at the Pentagon

By Michelle Malkin • July 21, 2009 11:57 PM

Former Democrat Rep. Nancy Boyda of Kansas was once so allergic to positive reports about the surge in Iraq that she walked out of a House hearing in a snit fit.

Flashback 2007:

Kansas Rep. Nancy Boyda is defending her decision to step out of a hearing room last week while a retired Army general testified about U.S. progress in Iraq.

But Republicans on Monday accused Boyda of refusing to listen to the positive aspects of the Bush administration’s new Iraq strategy.

Boyda, a freshman Democrat from Topeka, said she left the House Armed Services Committee hearing on Friday for about 10 minutes during the testimony of retired Gen. Jack Keane.

“There was only so much that you could take until we in fact had to leave the room for a while,” Boyda said after she returned, according to a transcript of the hearing. “So I think I am back and maybe can articulate some things – after so much of the frustration of having to listen to what we listened to.”

Keane had testified that since the troop surge began, U.S. forces “are on the offensive and we have the momentum.” He also said that security has improved in every neighborhood and district in and around Baghdad, and that “cafes, pool halls, coffee houses that I visited are full of people.”

When Boyda returned to the hearing, she ridiculed Keane’s description of Iraq “as in some way or another that it’s a place that I might take the family for a vacation – things are going so well – those kinds of comments will in fact show up in the media and further divide this country instead of saying, ‘Here’s the reality of the problem.’”

Boyda also attended radical ANSWER rallies in Washington DC in 2003 and 2004 and organized anti-war rallies in her home state.

Where is she now?

Why, she’s at the Pentagon as a new assistant deputy secretary of defense! Behold the moonbat revolving door:

Former U.S. Rep. Nancy Boyda has started a new job at the Pentagon.

Boyda was sworn in Monday as a deputy assistant secretary of defense for manpower and personnel issues.

Thank you, America for taking your voting rights so seriously in 2008. Let me tell you that the military greatly appreciates the seriousness you displayed… Morons.
And thanks everyone for investing some thought into the importance of the Congressional elections in 2008. While you were either (A) wallowing in self-pity about feeling as if you had to vote for the “lesser of two evils” or (B) hopelessly supporting a “RINO”, as you call it, for president, the liberal factions of our country took over.
Oh, and for those who call themselves “conservatives”, thank you as well for sticking with your principles and voting for McCain… May I ask what principles led to that decision?
Yes, I’m in a sarcastic, aggravated mood. I’m tired of “conservatives” who talk a big game about principles, belittle “RINOs”, yet when the time comes, they absolutely falter when confronted with the prospect of voting upon their alleged principles. And that covers what? Just about all “conservatives”? 1) RINOs = Republicans. 2) Your principles mean nothing unless you’re willing to act and vote upon them, which means, dare I say it, at least considering the possibility of not voting for a Republican or Democrat.

Not surprised at all…in fact, I would only be surprised at Obama’s, and the rest of the left’s, absolute hate for American and the military by nominating Sheehan for some DOD position.

I guess he at least refrained from nominating Castro for a position…so far.

Talking never hurt anyone.

Bullets are expensive.

No, no! That’s not what the President meant!

Here…have some more aid. Cash? Sure. Why not…

Of course, for a “good faith” down payment, our government will eliminate state of the art, futuristic programs, such as the F-22 Generation 5 fighters (so advanced, no one would stand a chance against them), and the Ballistic Missile Defense System.

All this, so Mr. “Change We Can Believe In” can show his World Leadership skills, and global understanding.

Oh, yeah…and they want to add 20,000 personnel to the ranks of the military…Why? Who wants to have Bozo the Clown, and his dog Joey, head the military as Commander in Chief, and Ass(istant)? Look for mass military resignations.

All I can say is Like Bush, like Obama.

This is the same tactic that GWB used with government agencies that supported free enterprise and were unsympathetic to big business (e.g., the Patent and Trademark Office and the DOJ): destroy them from the inside.

Step 1) in a Socialist state: it’s much easier for the government to control a few big businesses in which all the power of the country is centralized (this would include the money changers).

Step 2) in a Socialist state: weaken the power of the elements that exist outside of the chosen centralized power structure (this would include the military).

So, what’s new?

Philip Carter, age 33, was appointed by Obama as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Detainee Affairs. Before that, he practiced law as an associate at McKenna Long & Aldridge where he helped write their amicus brief in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld on behalf of the detainees.

Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division Tony West represented “American Taliban” John Walker Lindh.

Deputy Attorney General David W. Ogden’s former lawfirm, Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, was involved in detainee litigation and argued on behalf of detainees in Boumediene v Bush before the Supreme Court. Incidentally, former DAG Jamie Gorelick of ‘the Wall’ fame is currently a partner there.

That is such an insult to the men and women in the military that it’s really beyond comprehension. This president isn’t tone deaf; he’s downright antagonistic to this country. He’s trying to change and transform it into a western European socialist state, and you know how much they hold their armed forced in high regard. That’s why we’ve had to be their protector since World War II, because they wouldn’t field a fighting force to protect themselves. Obama’s on the same track. If we don’t get him and the Dems out of there at the first opportunity, we’re going to look like Italy or Greece. (No offense to Italians or Greeks, but you get it, right? Former world powers gone to seed?)

Oh, I almost forgot to mention Jennifer Daskal, former Human Rights Watch’s US program advocacy director. Among many other things while, she called military commissions, “illegitimate, dysfunctional, and a kangaroo court.”

Daskal is currently a member of the 65-member Guantanamo detainee task force.

The DOJ had the unmitigated gull to have her sit in (hiding unannounced along the wall among many others) during the June 16-17 briefings of 9/11 and USS Cole bombing family members.

Family members were angered at being blind-sided, such as finding out after the fact that Jennifer Daskal was present at both meetings. Ms. Daskal is now a member of the DOJ detainee review task force. Previously she was the senior counter terrorism counsel at Human Rights Watch, where she wrote that the military commissions were “illegitimate, dysfunctional, and a kangaroo court.” Alice Hoagland, whose son Mark Bingham died on Flight 93, remarked that she was appalled and that “Mr. Holder has a pre-disposition to listen and be swayed by the political opinions of these human rights groups. I felt violated and betrayed.” Debra Burlingame went further when she stated that “I would never have talked about the last moments of my brother’s life with a woman sitting there who has championed the rights of the people who killed him.”

Furthermore, all of those interviewed felt that it was offensive for Obama to choose Ms. Daskal as a member of the task force, especially since he did not see the need to have the family members represented. They noted that she has written extensively about the human rights of the terrorists but has never acknowledged the victims and their families. Shirley Hemenway pointed out that not even one family member was chosen to represent the families on any of the task forces. To her this shows that “Obama’s mind is already made up.”

I’m in real estate (yeah, I know, sucks right now) and I see a lot of houses. Some have been around a hundred years and look as beautiful as the day it was built. That is because the inhabitants took pride in their house, kept the foundation strong, repaired problems quickly and with care, maintained the vital systems, and took responsibility for the house.

Then I’ve seen the same type house that should simply be torn down and a new one built. This is because the inhabitants took no pride in their house. They ignored cracks in the foundation, didn’t fix leaks or did so with a quick fix, ignored the vital systems, let the termites feed on the frame of the house. They did not take responsibility for the house.

Any guess who lives in the house now?

I fear you are right. I’m not sure it matters anymore what really happens at the ballot box as those doing the counting have pre-determined outcomes. I’m not even convinced it can come from the ballot box at all (though I will always exercise my privilege to vote for whom I wish)

He is one of my favorite living, albeit retired, generals, a warrior’s warrior.

I see that his most prominent RINO butt-boy supporter, Lindsey Graham, is voting for Sotomayor. Is anyone surprised? Anyone at all?

I held my nose in November and voted for your RINO piece of crap. But I am not sure that we are not better off as things have worked out. His election would have meant another four years of eating conservatism from within. You notice how Obama loves to trumpet how some of his positions are the same as McCain’s.

There is a fair chance now that — in the accurate but politically imprudent words of Senator DeMint — Obama may have met his Waterloo. We may be on the eve of a decisive victory after years of conservative decline. Stop ObamaCare and we will end the nightmare. Obama could turn out to be just the scary moment that the nation needed to come back to its senses.

McCain’s years of military valor do not justify or excuse his decades of traitorous behavior in Washington. He has had his parade. Now he deserves the contempt of patriots.
