Good Morning.
Today is our 1,875th day in Iraq.
We'll start as we always do, with the latest casualty figures from the warron terra, courtesy of Antiwar.com:
American Deaths
Since war began (3/19/03): 4071
Since "Mission Accomplished" (5/1/03): 3932
Since Capture of Saddam (12/13/03): 3610
Since Handover (6/29/04): 3212
Since Election (1/31/05): 2634
Other Coalition Troops: 309
US Military Deaths - Afghanistan: 496
We find this morning's cost of war passing through: $ 517, 247, 975, 000 .00
Here at Ask a Vet, we often overlook Afghanistan in the glare of Iraq...but today we'll take a little closer look at this forgotten front.
We all know how succesful "The Surge" was in Iraq...so naturally the Pentagon can't wait to try it in Afghanistan..
Of course, this jells nicely with Sen. John "Hundred Years War" McCain's future plans...but somebody has to fill those uniforms. Since we don't have a draft [yet], the army has to continually lower it's standards. Is this really the best way to run an army?
Lastly this morning....I pay far too much attention to the big picture and the high-level things going on for our veterans. Not that that's a bad thing, but there are hundreds of local groups throughout America supporting the troops. A friend of mine recently handed me a business card for Operation American Soldier, based in neighboring Watertown, MA. Their premise is simple...'No soldier walks away from mail call empty-handed.'
This is the group that took all the items the Cub Scout Pack collected over the holidays. Like the army, the "support the troops" movement also depends on 'boots on the ground'. If you can...seek out the veterans support groups in your area, and make sure they know who you are and why you give. All us liberals are Americans, too.

Here at Ask a Vet, we often overlook Afghanistan in the glare of Iraq...but today we'll take a little closer look at this forgotten front.
We all know how succesful "The Surge" was in Iraq...so naturally the Pentagon can't wait to try it in Afghanistan.
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon is considering sending as many as 7,000 more American troops to Afghanistan next year to make up for a shortfall in contributions from NATO allies, senior Bush administration officials said.
Marines returned fire on Taliban positions on Friday in Helmand Province. The Pentagon is looking at plans to send up to 7,000 more troops to Afghanistan, to make up for a shortfall from NATO allies.
They said the step would push the number of American forces there to roughly 40,000, the highest level since the war began more than six years ago, and would require at least a modest reduction in troops from Iraq.
The planning began in recent weeks, reflecting a growing resignation to the fact that NATO is unable or unwilling to contribute more troops despite public pledges of an intensified effort in Afghanistan from the presidents and prime ministers who attended an alliance summit meeting in Bucharest, Romania, last month.
The shortfalls in troop commitments have cast doubt on claims by President Bush and his aides that NATO was stepping up to provide more help in Afghanistan, where the government of President Hamid Karzai faces a resurgent threat from the Taliban and remnants of Al Qaeda.
The increasing proportion of United States troops, from about half to about two-thirds of the foreign troops in Afghanistan, would be likely to result in what one senior administration official described as “the re-Americanization” of the war.
“There are simply going to be more American forces than we’ve ever had there,” said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was discussing future military planning.
A dozen NATO countries have pledged a total of about 2,000 troops, according to senior NATO officials, who provided the information on condition of anonymity according to standard diplomatic rules. Senior alliance commanders in Afghanistan have said they need about 10,000 more troops.
Only one country so far has actually begun preparing more troops to deploy: France, which is sending 700 to Afghanistan, NATO officials said.
Few of the additional troops are expected to arrive any time soon, the officials added.
Of course, this jells nicely with Sen. John "Hundred Years War" McCain's future plans...but somebody has to fill those uniforms. Since we don't have a draft [yet], the army has to continually lower it's standards. Is this really the best way to run an army?
When it comes to recruiting troops, just how badly are things going? Well, that depends on how you define "bad."
If having a military sprinkled with felons sounds good to you, then things are going just fine.
But if the thought of sending folks who were convicted of crimes such as theft, drug offenses (other than ones involving marijuana) as well as those who have committed sex crimes, manslaughter and aggravated assault -- some with weapons -- to represent us in Iraq alarms you, brace yourself. You are living in alarming times.
Never mind that the military has also been granting waivers to recruits who haven't graduated from high school. According to The Associated Press, "the Army and Marine Corps brought in significantly more recruits with felony convictions last year than in 2006." While there's something to be said for a sentence served and the grace of redemption, violent ex-convicts (especially for sexual assault, given the high rate of rape and sexual harassment already suffered by female troops) shouldn't be armed and sent overseas.
Add those guys to the thugs employed by some of the security contractors representing the U.S. in Iraq and it's clear that we've given up even the appearance of military honor. And what a blow this is to the top-notch men and women who have dedicated their lives to serving their country. If recruiting felons is our only alternative to a mandatory draft, it's obvious that this war isn't seen as worth fighting by most -- hence the lack of quality recruits.
We couldn't "win" this war for all the oil in the Middle East, and admitting as much is not placing the blame on the troops -- it's placing the blame squarely on the shoulders of those who manufactured a false case for the invasion and occupation of a country that posed not one iota of threat to the U.S.
And we sure as heck can't win it with an exhausted army patched up with the criminal and the undereducated. This is yet another sign that we need to change the strategy in Iraq -- it's time for a gradual troop withdrawal.
Lastly this morning....I pay far too much attention to the big picture and the high-level things going on for our veterans. Not that that's a bad thing, but there are hundreds of local groups throughout America supporting the troops. A friend of mine recently handed me a business card for Operation American Soldier, based in neighboring Watertown, MA. Their premise is simple...'No soldier walks away from mail call empty-handed.'
Sometimes I wonder why I volunteered to serve this country. Our Commander-in-Chief has ordered us to Iraq or Afghanistan or some other remote country. For some of us, this is the first time we have been away from home. I've made some of the greatest friends I'll ever have, actually they are now my "family". We have shared some of the most interesting, wonderful and frightening moments you can imagine.
The best part of the day (or worst) is "Mail Call". Hearing from home, knowing that someone cares helps me continue day after day. It reinforces my commitment to keeping our country safe. But today, just like so many other days, my name isn't called. Remind me again, Why am I here?
Then a package arrives from someone I don't know. It's addressed to me! A box filled with letters of encouragement, food that is familiar and comforting, books, magazines and other fun stuff. You know what, people do care! We are not forgotten!
Operation American Soldier began when my daughter Tracy was in Iraq. After hearing that some of the other soldiers weren't receiving any support form home, we thought we should help. So we asked from some names and addresses to ship to. Each box contained a letter from us asking if there were any other soldiers that needs support. Well our list of soldiers grew and grew.
Eventually we thought we should ask the community to help us with this program. Sometimes the local newspaper will run a community note . Sometimes we will find boxes of goodies left at our front door. Once in a while we have a nice financial donation to help with the shipping costs. We have shipped to more than 500 soldiers, 9000+ pounds of cheer so far! We ship to Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines, we have shipped to Chaplains, The Red Cross. Combat Support Hospitals. Our packages have gone to Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, and even Cuba
Our goal is simple. We will send packages and letters to as many soldiers as
possible, for as long as we can. We will try to bring a little bit of cheer and maybe a smile to the brave men & women that serve in harms way.
This is the group that took all the items the Cub Scout Pack collected over the holidays. Like the army, the "support the troops" movement also depends on 'boots on the ground'. If you can...seek out the veterans support groups in your area, and make sure they know who you are and why you give. All us liberals are Americans, too.

Morning all, just a quick 'in' before I go out to canvas for Obama. Yesterday was disappointing. They had me canvas in these very well-off neighborhoods, where I literally had to drive my car to go from house to house and up the long, winding driveways.
:thud:
When someone was home, rarely, it was mostly a maid or nanny. Or, in a few cases, stoned hippies.
So, I called the guy in charge and asked about the (name redacted) *black* 'hood. He said they had a hard time getting people in there? ..........What!?!
Velveeta and Aunt Azalea will be going in there today, offering rides and getting people to the polls.

The number of suicides among veterans of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan may exceed the combat death toll because of inadequate mental health care, the U.S. government's top psychiatric researcher said. Community mental health centers, hobbled by financial limits, haven't provided enough scientifically sound care, especially in rural areas.

So I got this email a couple days ago that the AAP Daily was no more.. No idea what's going on because I really didn't go there very often anymore (for a certain reason)... I guess after the whole thing with Randi getting fired Air America took the final step into the abyss.

Dumbass I am I left my window open overnite and it got cold so I got this nasty cough (that's how the whole no smoking thing started).. well that got better but developed into a persistent cough and I thought my lungs were just clearin out 5 years of tar & nicotine.. went to the doctor and he was like "oh that's good that you quit smokin.. you have walking pneumonia."

Soon she will be getting in the car with Aunt Azaelia and going the the other area of town to offer rides for people to the voting places! She said that there are tons of police over there, but she is going in anyway to get people to vote!
She says that in Asheville there are TONS of Obama signs all over the place, and very few Clinton signs...
NO McCAIN SIGNS.
LEt's give a round of applause for VJ and AA for doing their civic DUTY!

At this point, I've come to realize that we should expect her campaign to say or do anything to win, including completely destroying the Democratic Party and any chance it has to hold the Republicans out of the presidency. It's the kind of attitude and action that were she to win the nomination (which won't happen at this point without some major shenanigans) would drive me to vote for a third party candidate.

Regarding the Gas Tax, Harry Reid said it won't be part of the energy bill they are putting forward this week.
And I must say, if she really believes in this, she needs to go BACK to dc and help push it thru.
But I do not think she will. John McCain has sponsored that bill since the beginning of time. In 2000, Bill Clinton said it was a bad idea as well.

Hi there everyone!
I am worried that if Hillary gets even close to Obama in NC (like Obama did with Hill in Penn) that she will declare victory and keep this insane endless primary going... Let's go Hoosiers - I hope that my home state makes me proud for once in my life :D

I am worried that if Hillary gets even close to Obama in NC (like Obama did with Hill in Penn) that she will declare victory and keep this insane endless primary going... Let's go Hoosiers - I hope that my home state makes me proud for once in my life :D
Cheers.

It's a ridiculous idea. For one thing, it cuts off a revenue stream for the government at a time when we're running major deficits thanks to Bush's tax redistributions. Second, the last time I looked we're giving billions in subsidies to these oil companies at a time when they're milking the taxpayer dry with overspeculation, so why the HELL don't we cut those subsidies instead?! "Oh we can't do that 'cuz the price of gas will go up to 8 bucks a gallon" Then legislate that they can't raise the damn prices that much unless they want to pay massive windfall taxes.

Regarding the Gas Tax, Harry Reid said it won't be part of the energy bill they are putting forward this week.
And I must say, if she really believes in this, she needs to go BACK to dc and help push it thru.
But I do not think she will. John McCain has sponsored that bill since the beginning of time. In 2000, Bill Clinton said it was a bad idea as well.

I know, I am ducking the bricks...
But cheez, she is the first family. They made her get married in CRAWFORD?!?!?!?

And says, it is pointless.
And says, it is pointless.
I meant it to be a bit of "damning through faint praise." My criteria for good public policy is that it be well out of the neighborhood of "pointless." Still, I'll bet others would agree that the consumer might benefit a few cents, but I think it is safe to say that we stand firm in agreement that this is a bad, bad idea.

The FBI is searching the office of Special Council....
A multi-year investigation leads federal agents to search the Office of Special Counsel's building. Employees have alleged the agency was misused for political purposes.
Neither Office of Special Counsel head Scott Bloch nor anyone else has officially been charged with a crime. But the FBI secured a separate subpoena for Bloch's home.
According to an article from The Wall Street Journal from last year, Bloch used a private tech company — Geeks on Call — to delete e-mails instead of using his office's federal technicians.
The Office of Special Counsel is in charge of investigating whistleblower complaints by federal employees. Late this morning, the entire office's email system was shut down — a fact that the San Francisco field office confirmed.

I thought maybe a big truck went by but some of the warehouse guys felt it too so I check USGS and low and behold there was a 1.8 quake epicenter Annadale which is only about 2mile from here.

Air America Radio took the archives back from Air America Place. What they are doing with them now, I do not know know. I have been trying to follow that story over at AAP (who used to house them) and none of the staff seems to have an answer about where people can access the archives anymore.
I suspect they may be deep sixing them. Sad.

Dale Cardwell
Vernon Jones
Rand Knight
Josh Lanier
Jim Martin
Remember July 15th isn't that far away....here's hoping one of these gentlemen can overtake Chambliss or at least give him a run for his money
Just checking in for a quick moment...
Gwinnett County Democrats are having their monthly breakfast this saturday and they will have all 5 of the Senate Democratic challengers running against Saxby "I'm just another do nothing Bubba empty suit" Chambliss this November speaking to the attendees. If Laina (wife) and I can make it....we'll have a brief report for those of you living in this Republican dominated state...

He's got a helluva name too - Rand Knight! Vaguely reminds me of a character from the third season of Robotech (yikes obscure anime reference!)

Wow - and 9.52 would be a THREE digit lead. :rolleyes2:

Anyone know what happened to the Air America podcast archives?
Air America Radio took the archives back from Air America Place. What they are doing with them now, I do not know know. I have been trying to follow that story over at AAP (who used to house them) and none of the staff seems to have an answer about where people can access the archives anymore.
I suspect they may be deep sixing them. Sad.

I heard there were problems with the stream yesterday when Sam was on. You could try WCPT-Chicago's stream or WWRL-New York's stream since they both broadcast the show.

And today's "What a Genius!" award goes to the fine gentleman from Copiegue, NY...
A Long Island man who flipped his finger at a police cruiser and then popped a wheelie on his motorcycle is recovering from injuries after crashing.
more stories like this
Suffolk County Police said Frank Patti, 26, of West Islip, rode by the police car at a service station in Copiague at 7:30 p.m. Sunday. Police say Patti made an obscene gesture to two officers in the car, popped a wheelie and then sped away.
Police gave chase.
When the motorcycle turned into a parking lot it crashed into a police car that had joined the chase.

Hangs head in a lil shame... I drove Bobber a little nuts with that ebay auction.... I cannot wait for the shoes to arrive!
you see I bought these shoes back in '05. and I lost one somewhere in the move to the ATL.
These were and still are the BEST flip flops I ever owned. EVER. So wonderful I could not throw away the one single shoe I had. I kept hoping it would reappear.
And then upon the suggestion of BobR I wen tlooking, and found a pair, EXACT SIZE and COLOUR for sale on ebay.
And soon they will be in my hands. All is right with the world.

The correct spelling is Copaigue.
Being a Long Islander I see so many idiots on the road doing things that they shouldn't and sometimes I do wish that something ironic would happen to them or at least they would get busted by the cops so I could laugh at them.

oooOOOH! My dad is coming into town, otherwise I would LOVE to be there! I am leaning towards Jim Martin.
Did I tell you we may be going to a meet and greet with our representative....
JOHN LEWIS?!?!?!
BTW, as a side note, things are looking pretty good for Georgia when it comes to the house this year...
They are putting up a LOT of Vet's against these chicken hawk repubs.
Great read even for those NOT in the area.
if this is an indicator, we are going to have a VETO proof majority in DC! Forget the State house tho... that seems to be a lost cause.

That would be how it's pronounced but not the spelling.
I just double-checked and the correct spelling is Copiague. It is an odd spelling but living regrets the error.

I read in that Jenna Bush did not want her wedding at the WH she said her fiance and and her were way to casual for that preferring a small outdoor ceremony at the ranch with 200 friends and family. Her gown was designed by Oscar De Lerenta and her 14 bridesmaids will be in 7 different cocktail length and seven different colors. Her sister is maid of honor in a blue gown. Not that anyone really cares but hey it's a wedding it was kinda interesting reading all the little details so call me a GIRL!!! pardon my spelling on Oscars name. Mom really was pulling for the WH wedding. Mom being Laura
