WASHINGTON – As London recovers from the latest deadly al-Qaida attack that killed at least 50, top U.S. government officials are contemplating what they consider to be an inevitable and much bigger assault on America – one likely to kill millions, destroy the economy and fundamentally alter the course of history, reports Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin. According to captured al-Qaida leaders and documents, the plan is called the "American Hiroshima" and involves the multiple detonation of nuc...
BAGHDAD, Iraq - The attack, in a poor, predominantly Shiite neighborhood of eastern Baghdad, left a wrenching scene of bloodshed, anger and despair Wednesday. Children's colored slippers, pieces of flesh and shrapnel were strewed around a wide crater in the street. Women wailed and slapped themselves on the chest and face in a ritual of grief as bodies were placed in crude coffins and carried away. A suicide bomber had steered his vehicle toward a group of children who had crowded aroun...
I have a challenge for all my my lefty friends and anyone else for that matter. Prove this statement wrong. There has never been a war between Democratic Countries, and no Democratic County ever has had a famine. WOW. Guess that speaks well for what we are doing in the middle east huh.

July 10, 2005 – Top U. S. homeland security officials said today that while security is never an absolute, the U. S. is doing all it can to ensure the safety of those using passenger rail and transit. This comes in light of the explosions of four bombs July 7 in London. Three in the subway system detonated within 50 seconds of each other and one exploded on a double-decker bus within a half hour of the others. The blasts killed at least 49 and injured more than 700, according to news source...
Flagged by Islamic groups as a probable hate crime, a burned Quran found at the doorstep of a Virginia mosque turned out to be a case of a Muslim who wasn't sure how to properly dispose of his religion's sacred book. Last month, members of the Islamic Center of Blacksburg said they were stunned when they arrived at the building for prayers and found a plastic shopping bag in front of the door filled with a charred copy of the Quran and the burnt pages of Arabic books, the Roanoke Times re...
Hey how about a request? For those of you that are skilled in this area. I would love to see a U.S. Army bootskin (The Army Seal) and also a good military theme set. Not something overdone, but a good tastful military windows theme, maybe one for each branch of the service. I am telling you they would be in huge demand. Well maybe I just talked myself into learning how to do these things. LOL Then again I am sure there are those of you out there that already can whip one of these up in 1/10...

US military officials said the soldier had evaded the Taleban in the mountainous region throughout the past week. There has been no word on the fate of the remaining th...
On hearing of Ward Churchill's comments today I thought it was all made up. So I decided to do like I always do, and WHOA!! It was true. Ward Churchill has done it again, except this time I feel he stepped over the line and made criminal statements, you decide. I downloaded and listened to the MP3 of the lecture. Well its not being taken out of context. He's a filthy disgusting human being and should be arrested and charged at the federal level for sedition. Churchill, speaking at an anti...
Afghanistan, June 30, 2005 – A routine orientation flight turned out to be anything but routine, at least for three Afghan children stranded in the middle of a flooded river near Salerno, Afghanistan, June 29. It all started as Chief Warrant Officer James Gisclair was giving an orientation flight to a pilot new to the area. He and the new pilot, Chief Warrant Officer Nathan Scott, spotted a flash flood occurring after heavy rains hit the area earlier that day. They noticed a group of peop...
I remember hearing somewhere while I was in the service that we had like 2000+ soldiers die in 1985 (one of the years I was in). It was a big deal because it was the most in a number of years. Well I did some checking and guess what? In 1985 alone we lost 2,252 soldiers. In just that year alone. In Operation Iraq Freedom we have lost 1270 soldiers to hostile action from March 19th, 2003 through June 4th, 2005. Including non-hostile action (accidents, illness and other causes) add 395 for a...

I have been saying this for months now, where have they been?? June 27, 2005 – A perceived increase in violence in Iraq does not mean insurgents are winning or that progress is slowed, top military leaders said today in a news conference at the Pentagon. Rather than focusing on the violence the terrorists have been causing, American people should focus on the things the terrorists have not been able to accomplish over the last year, said U.S. Army Gen. George W. Casey Jr., commander of Mul...
