Good Morning.
Today is our 2,050th day in Iraq.
We'll start this morning 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): 4188
Since "Mission Accomplished" (5/1/03): 4049
Since Capture of Saddam (12/13/03): 3727
Since Handover (6/29/04): 3330
Since Election (1/31/05): 2750
Other Coalition Troops - Iraq: 314
US Military Deaths - Afghanistan: 625
Other Military Deaths - Afghanistan: 378
Contractor Deaths - Iraq: 445
We find this morning's cost of war passing through $566, 275, 000, 000.00
Perhaps you've heard of Army Lieutenent Ehren Watada?
In 2006, Lt. Watada refused to deploy with his unit to Iraq, calling it a "war crime". He became the only commissioned officer to refuse service, and as such he's been under arrest ever since. His first court-martial ended in a mistrial, and even as the army was preparing to try him again, a federal judge overruled the army, calling the trial "double-jeopardy". Of course the army is appealing the decision.
IAVA is laying a bit low as we head into the election. Of course, we're still happy the new GI Bill was passed, and they have issued their legislative report card for this session, so I guess they're like the rest of us; all we can do is sit and wait and hope.
So, I have a couple of things you may want to look at this morning.
First, we have "A Step Behind", written by Paul Nelson as a tribute to the fallen and wounded soldiers in Iraq.
A Mr. Sherwood Ross has written an anti-war poem called "Masters of War" worth reading this morning.
And lastly this morning, as if we needed any more convincing, an interesting video about the Senator from Arizona...with clips and statements going back to 2002 concerning his opinion regarding the war. As the saying goes, the right tends to forget there are things called "recording devices".
(I apologize for the weak effor this morning....perhaps it's a sign of the times that there is not a lot of veteran's news out there. Let's hope this column can come to an end under a new administration. - TriSec)

His first court-martial ended in a mistrial, and even as the army was preparing to try him again, a federal judge overruled the army, calling the trial "double-jeopardy". Of course the army is appealing the decision.
P-I Reporter, October 25, 2008
If the Army tries to court-martial 1st Lt. Ehren Watada a second time, it cannot prosecute him for refusing to deploy to Iraq, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.
Seeking a conviction on that charge -- the most serious that Watada faced -- would constitute double jeopardy, U.S. District Judge Benjamin Settle in Tacoma decided.
Settle agreed with Watada's request by throwing out the charge of missing movement for refusing to deploy with his Fort Lewis-based Stryker Brigade to Iraq in June 2006. Watada said the war was illegal.
Settle also dismissed two specifications of a second charge, of conduct unbecoming an officer, related to statements Watada made against the war and against President Bush. He made the statements at a news conference and in a speech at a Veterans for Peace convention.
If he had been tried and convicted on all charges, Watada would have faced the potential of a six-year prison sentence and a dishonorable discharge.
The judge did not toss out two other specifications of conduct unbecoming an officer that concern interviews Watada gave. Army prosecutors had dropped those specifications before the court-martial.
A military court will have decide whether to pursue those charges.
James Lobsenz, one of Watada's attorneys, said his client is pleased with Tuesday's ruling. Calls by the Seattle P-I to officials at Fort Lewis were not returned.
"We're happy, but it's too early to know what else might happen," Lobsenz said. "It's highly likely (the Army) will appeal the judge's decision."
It is unclear what will happen next, but Lobsenz said he is confident that his client has a strong case should the Army continue to pursue another trial.
Watada became a cause célèbre for the national anti-war movement more than two years ago when he said he would not go to Iraq.
He was the first U.S. military officer to publicly refuse deployment.
Watada's first trial, in February 2007, ended in a mistrial despite his objections.
The military judge, Lt. Col. John Head, declared the mistrial after ruling that Watada did not fully understand a stipulation he had signed before the trial.
After a series of postponements, Watada's attorneys went to the civilian U.S. District Court, arguing that a new court-martial would violate constitutional protections against double jeopardy.
Settle granted a preliminary injunction against a second court-martial in 2007.
IAVA is laying a bit low as we head into the election. Of course, we're still happy the new GI Bill was passed, and they have issued their legislative report card for this session, so I guess they're like the rest of us; all we can do is sit and wait and hope.
So, I have a couple of things you may want to look at this morning.
First, we have "A Step Behind", written by Paul Nelson as a tribute to the fallen and wounded soldiers in Iraq.
Paul Nelson wrote “A Step Behind” as a tribute to our soldiers who have fallen in battle and to those of us who will love them forever. It’s a celebration of the extraordinary legacy they left behind.
As professional songwriters, he wished to share the deep feelings of the song with veterans and their families. He hopes you might send it to your friends. Please click on the link to hear "A Step Behind"
A Mr. Sherwood Ross has written an anti-war poem called "Masters of War" worth reading this morning.
Pray for me, Father, mine is the sin of cowardice
For I do not set myself on fire at the White House gate
To protest murder. I am a glutton for God's blue sky.
Pray for me, Father, for my tax dollars set a banquet for Death
With napalm and daisy cutters and snakelike missiles
That blow apart other men and their wives and children
While I walk secure along the shore of the tranquil sea.
Pray for me, Father, and I will pray for you
I will pray for a church that does not decry an Inquisition
Where men are broken and driven mad in the dungeons
Of Bagram, Kabul, Gitmo and Abu Ghraib
A church of priests that recall Golgotha
As if Jesus and Jesus and Jesus by the thousands
Are not being crucified now by the Masters of War
Are not shuffling home on artificial legs
Are not staring sightless from wheelchairs
In VA hospitals into God's blue sky.
Pray for me, Father, and I will pray for you.
And lastly this morning, as if we needed any more convincing, an interesting video about the Senator from Arizona...with clips and statements going back to 2002 concerning his opinion regarding the war. As the saying goes, the right tends to forget there are things called "recording devices".

That's interesting about the court martial. I thought in most normal cases that if a trial ends in a mistrial, they can retry the case? I wonder why that wasn't allowed here?

Morning Everybody :coffee:
Ehren Watada is a hero of mine - thanks for the update on his case, TriSec :D
I am at home this morning - had a couple pieces of bad news yesterday - one I can reveal, the other I'm sworn to secrecy. The one I can share is that my best friend in New Mexico's Father died yesterday of pancreatic cancer, so that put the kibosh on my trip to Albuquerque to visit my friends and work on the Obama campaign. I am thinking of heading to Missouri to help Obama in that swing state. I am a nervous wreck and likely will be until November 5th... :nervous:
Thanks as always for being there for all of us 4F :clap:
Cheers,

Thanks Bob, Wicked!
Scoop my father and I were at each others throats for years (With fists flying no less.)
We took a brake from communication. It started out slow. We would speak every now and then. He would start the old shit and I would tell him I'm done and hang up and try later. SLOWLY we reached an accord. We can speak now, be in the same room with out coming to blows. Hell I even introduced him to my wife. It's not "Eddie's father" but we can at least say we barried the hatchet.
Good Luck! and I hope it all works out.
Also if you have the chance see the movie smoke signals. it helps.

How do we forgive our fathers?
Maybe in a dream?
Do we forgive our fathers for leaving us to often?
Or forever, when we were little?
Maybe for scaring us with unexpected rage, or making us nervous because there never seemed to be any rage there at all?
Do we forgive our fathers for marrying or not marrying our mothers? or for divorcing or not divorcing our mothers?
And shall we forgive them for thier excesses of warmth or coldness?
Shall we forgive them for pushing or leaning, or shutting doors?
for speaking thru walls, or never speaking, or never being silent?
Do we forgive our fathers in our age, or in theirs?
Or in their deaths, saying it to them, or not saying it.
If we forgive our fathers, what is left?

Yes that is where I hearded it first but it was a poem by Dick Lourie.
Also Smoke Signals is one of my FAV movies. The poems is a PERFECT way to close the movie. (Yeah the movie makes me cry too. and it makes me want to call my father.)

Quote by m-hadley:Quote by Grumpymann:How do we forgive our fathers?
Maybe in a dream?
Do we forgive our fathers for leaving us to often?
Or forever, when we were little?
Maybe for scaring us with unexpected rage, or making us nervous because there never seemed to be any rage there at all?
Do we forgive our fathers for marrying or not marrying our mothers? or for divorcing or not divorcing our mothers?
And shall we forgive them for thier excesses of warmth or coldness?
Shall we forgive them for pushing or leaning, or shutting doors?
for speaking thru walls, or never speaking, or never being silent?
Do we forgive our fathers in our age, or in theirs?
Or in their deaths, saying it to them, or not saying it.
If we forgive our fathers, what is left?
Grumpymann,
Is that from the closing of "Smoke Signals"? One of my all time favorite films...
Cheers,

Oh yah.. and dad's one of the ORIGINAL Limbaugh listeners. And it kinda happened on accident. He used to listen to Larry King's overnight radio show every morning - this was way back in the mid 80s when he was still working (he went on disability for this progressive brain/ear disease that causes vertigo). So one day the local radio station starts playing Limbaugh. I was too young to even understand that stuff back then, but he got swept up in it big time. Then my parents divorced and I rarely saw him except for holidays.. but every time I went over there he'd be listening to either Rush or a Red Sox game.
So yeah.. if I do end up calling him, I hope the whole political issue doesn't come up. I'll chew him out if he starts spewing crap about "that n'er".

I know how it is, or at least how my situation felt. And I know that my father and I are doing better now than we were when I lived with him.
It sucks and in my case it affected me for many years. Until I realized that he did and is doing the best with what he has. I had no ... let it go. I never forgave. But I did let it go. And in that way I could look at him as he is now and see in his own way he really was trying as much as I was.
But fuck it. I wish you luck any way you handle it.

Could THIS be why MCCain won't release his Navy records?
For the past two months, a major American magazine and an allied news service have been engaged in a legal battle with the United States Navy over records that they believe show that John McCain once was involved in an automobile accident that injured or, perhaps, killed another individual.
Vanity Fair magazine and the National Security News Service claim to have knowledge "developed from first-hand sources" of a car crash that involved then-Lt. McCain at the main gate of a Virginia naval base in 1964, according to legal filings. The incident has been largely, if not entirely, kept from the public. And in documents suing the Navy to release pertinent information, lawyers for the NS News Service allege that a cover-up may be at play.
"Plaintiffs have also obtained documents showing that law enforcement officers were ordered back to the accident scene to retrieve personal physical effects. The Navy has never publicly acknowledged this information," one document reads. "This request involves federal government activity, as it addresses what may be an attempt by the Navy to protect by concealment the involvement of a former Navy officer, sitting Senator and Presidential candidate in a serious incident involving the injury or death of another human being."

From WaPo.
Raine on 10/28/2008 15:11:02
A ruling by Virginia's attorney general today paved the way for dozens of potentially invalid absentee ballots mailed from overseas to be counted in the Nov. 4 election, ending a controversy that some feared would disenfranchise members of the military.
Republicans last week blasted the Fairfax County general registrar, who said about 100 federal write-in absentee ballots, often used by members of the military serving abroad, were invalid because they did not have a witness's address, as required by state law.
In his ruling today, Attorney General McDonnell ® said that federal law trumped state law, and that the ballots should be counted. The ballots are used as backups by citizens abroad who fear that the absentee ballot mailed from their locality won't reach them in time.
The Virginia Code states that voters who had not previously applied for a local absentee ballot must have the federal ballot signed by a witness, who also must provide his or her address. Although the online instructions for the ballot say a witness must provide his or her address, the ballot doesn't expressly state that requirement, and many don't include their address. In denying the federal ballots, Rokey W. Suleman II, the Fairfax registrar, said he was merely following state law.
"I can't ignore the law," Suleman said last week. "Believe me, if I could get a lawyer to tell me to allow these votes, I'd love to."

Ah, I would have some first-hand experience in this area.
In late 2000, after yet another round of ART failed, Mrs. TriSec and I decided to give up and pursue an adoption. We had maybe a half-dozen fertilized eggs left in cold storage.
Our doctor asked us what we wanted to do with them, and I asked if there was any research or scientific benefit to anyone, and he said no. I believe I looked at Mrs. TriSec for about a second and we both said, "That's it then...you should probably destroy those."
And that was that.
I don't need the government to be involved with that...

Roskam also reportedly believes in requiring couples to carry all fertilized eggs made in invitro to term. If they don't, they must find someone else to carry them. Keep the government and Peter Roskam's gross hands out of our private lives! Ew!

We just sold $350M in short term bonds yesterday so the state could MAKE ITS PAYROLL FOR THIS MONTH AND BALANCE THE BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR. And this dipshit wants to eliminate the state's main source of income?!

I've been actively boycotting them for a while (the owner is a major GOP contributor and I think he's the guy who built Fundietown in Florida)...
...but I ordered a pizza from them last week. Thin crust style. It was AWFUL - I swear man the crust was literally cardboard. Gotta say it made this poor Italian boy cry for his mama.

you probably hurt yourself from eating that frappèd abortion on chipboard covered in melted plastic that is Dominos pizza. Pizza Hut isn't much better, but at least their sauce has a little flavor (even if all of their toppings are frozen or canned).
As far as chains go, from worst to mundane:
CiCis
Little Ceasars
Dominos
Pizza Hut
Papa Johns
Give me a local pizza joint any day...

Maybe they are "working" girls. You have to "work" really hard to make the money to have that kind of lifestyle.
At work, we have been subjected to a similar show , "Daddy's Spoiled Little Girl" where the father is preparing for the daughter's big birthday/moving/graduation party and the cost of these shindigs is usually more than I make in a year which is often combined with the expensive shopping spree. Daddy buys the 17-year old daughter a high-end SUV right off the lot while I settled for my dad's 1976 Nova as a hand-me down for my first car.
