Where the WMD's Went

Frontpage InterviewÂ’s guest today is Bill Tierney, a former military intelligence officer and Arabic speaker who worked at Guantanamo Bay in 2002 and as a counter-infiltration operator in Baghdad in 2004. He was also an inspector (1996-1998) for the United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) for overseeing the elimination of weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles in Iraq. He worked on the most intrusive inspections during this period and either participated in or planned inspections that led to four of the seventeen resolutions against Iraq.

I read this article tonight, and I really want the people who say that there were no WMD's in Iraq at all, to read it also. As someone who was in the military I can tell you that one of the things we trained for on a regular basis was NBC (Nuclear,Biological,Chemical) warfare. And as a Security Forces troop, we were required to carry all of our chem gear on duty at all times. For the troops who went over to Iraq or even spent anytime at all in the "Sandbox" the threat of being hit with NBC weapons was ever present.

So go read the artical, see what the man has to say and try and make an informed decision. Don't just parrott the different party lines, and that goes for both lefties and righties.

I moved

Like the title says. I have moved, the place I am in is a little bit bigger than where I was, but the room I moved into is a bit smaller. It is going to take some getting used to, but the extra money that will be floating around will be help :)

I'm kind of pissed that I never got to go see the Firefly movie "Serenity" in the theaters, it seems like it was out for about 2 hours and then out. But it comes out on DVD Dec 20th so that will be going on the wishlist.

Welp, nothing else is going on so later.

Wilma and other stuff

Ok, I haven't posted much recently because I've been kind of busy and I didn't really feel like it.

Anyways, lets do a little recap of some of the things that have been going on since the last time I logged on.

Well there was huricane wilma, I was out of power for a week or so but no major dammage. I got off very lucky compaired to other people. I was on vaction for a week before the huricane and about 10 days after which helped me get all the clean up work done. They only thing that I really want to comment on about it is that for hurricanes (and other situations) is that Headlamps kick major but I bought an Energizer Headlamp with 4 LED functions and it makes things so much easier. If you've ever tried to take a leak while trying to hold a flashlight, you will soon learn to love headlamps.

Ok enough about that, on to more interesting things... Ok I lied, there isn't really anything else interesting :)

Ooo, gas price's went down. Local station's have it running between $2.56-2.70 a gallon, so thats good.

I've been playing alot of Battlefield 2, `cause bassicly that game kicks ass.

Land of the dead `05:

I bought this movie the other day thinking hey I like zombie movies cool its only 14.99. I have to say this is the 2nd worst zombie movie I have ever seen in my life, and that is saying alot. There is so much that about this movie that sucks that I don't know where to begin.

Ok so the main town "raids" small towns for supplies. Good idea, bad execution. Do you really need to use "biker-gang tactics" to get stuff. I mean come on, there has got to be a lot more efficent methods of raiding for supplies.

I could go on and on, but the thing that pissed me off most about this movie is that the soldiers & police, is that after 3 years of a zombie-pocklypse, HAVEN'T YOU LEARN TO SHOOT THE BASTARDS IN THE HEAD YET! Also you don't need to shoot an advancing zombie hord with fully automatic fire, HEADSHOTS PEOPLE, THEY ARE FREAKIN ZOMBIES!!!!

Ok, I'm done with that now, but I was so dissapointed with this movie. It had so much potential.

Ok, I'm done now.

General Honore's NOT Stuck on stupid !!

This is a good interview which shows that most reporters are Rucking Fretarded!!

Don't get stuck on stupid, that has to be without a doubt the coolest thing ever said. (at least for today)

09-20honore.mp3

Honore: And Mr. Mayor, let's go back, because I can see right now, we're
setting this up as he said, he said, we said. All right? We are not going to
go, by order of the mayor and the governor, and open the convention center
for people to come in. There are buses there. Is that clear to you? Buses
parked. There are 4,000 troops there. People come, they get on a bus, they
get on a truck, they move on. Is that clear? Is that clear to the public?

Female reporter: Where do they move on...

Honore: That's not your business.

Male reporter: But General, that didn't work the first time...

Honore: Wait a minute. It didn't work the first time. This ain't the first
time. Okay? If...we don't control Rita, you understand? So there are a lot
of pieces of it that's going to be worked out. You got good public servants
working through it. Let's get a little trust here, because you're starting
to act like this is your problem. You are carrying the message, okay? What
we're going to do is have the buses staged. The initial place is at the
convention center. We're not going to announce other places at this time,
until we get a plan set, and we'll let people know where those locations
are, through the government, and through public announcements. Right now, to
handle the number of people that want to leave, we've got the capacity. You
will come to the convention center. There are soldiers there from the 82nd
Airborne, and from the Louisiana National Guard. People will be told to get
on the bus, and we will take care of them. And where they go will be
dependent on the capacity in this state. We've got our communications up.
And we'll tell them where to go. And when they get there, they'll be able to
get a chance, an opportunity to get registered, and so they can let their
families know where they are. But don't start panic here. Okay? We've got a
location. It is in the front of the convention center, and that's where we
will use to migrate people from it, into the system.

Male reporter: General Honore, we were told that Berman Stadium on the west
bank would be another staging area...

Honore: Not to my knowledge. Again, the current place, I just told you one
time, is the convention center. Once we complete the plan with the mayor,
and is approved by the governor, then we'll start that in the next 12-24
hours. And we understand that there's a problem in getting communications
out. That's where we need your help. But let's not confuse the questions
with the answers. Buses at the convention center will move our citizens, for
whom we have sworn that we will support and defend...and we'll move them on.
Let's not get stuck on the last storm. You're asking last storm questions
for people who are concerned about the future storm. Don't get stuck on
stupid, reporters. We are moving forward. And don't confuse the people
please. You are part of the public message. So help us get the message
straight. And if you don't understand, maybe you'll confuse it to the
people. That's why we like follow-up questions. But right now, it's the
convention center, and move on.

Male reporter: General, a little bit more about why that's happening this
time, though, and did not have that last time...

Honore: You are stuck on stupid. I'm not going to answer that question. We
are going to deal with Rita. This is public information that people are
depending on the government to put out. This is the way we've got to do it.
So please. I apologize to you, but let's talk about the future. Rita is
happening. And right now, we need to get good, clean information out to the
people that they can use. And we can have a conversation on the side about
the past, in a couple of months.

Personal Metamorphosis

Personal Metamorphosis

This is the blog of one of my co-workers and her ability to write creatively far exceeds my own. While we may sometimes have differences of opinions, I respect the insight she gives me on subjects that I would not normally think about.

Feel free to visit her normally, it is an artistic view of many thing that are going on in the world, and while you many not agree with her (or me for that mater) you can not deny her ability to express her self eloquently

Remembering 9/11

I won't be able to post this on Sunday, so I thought I would go ahead and do it now.

Its been 4 years since that early September morning and like most of us I remember what exactly what I was doing when I found out. I had gotten off of at around 6 in the morning and I went back to the dorms after turning in weapons. I can't remember what I made for breakfast that day. I just remember wanting to grab some food and then rack out because I had to be at work again in about 10 hours. I remember waking up later that day and turning on the TV just for some background noise while I did the morning routine and to my amazement the world trade center was on fire. That was when I sat down and actually started paying attention. Just about then another reporter was on the phone saying he was at the Pentagon and "It sounded like a bomb went off somewhere in the building". Well, after that I threw on my gear with out doing any of the little stuff I normaly did before work. Then I ran to the base grocery store and picked up some batteries and a couple of bottles of water and grub and went over to the guardmount hut to see what I could do to help.

Right around this time, while I was getting ready, the base was put into Threatcon Delta and we were in the process of recalling everyone in our Security Forces Squadron to come and arm up. Being one of the first people on scene I was given control of a fire team (which normally has 4 people on it, but this one only had me) raptor 1 and armed with an M60 machine gun with aprox 1000 rounds of ammo and a HMMWV. I was told that as more people came in and armed up they would be sent to fill out my team. So there I was carrying a crap load of gear for my weapon a set of NVG's and Thermal's which weighed about, well I think the correct term is a "whole-bunchinze". I hope in the hummer and drive out to Base Gate 1 where I hop the curb and park on the sidewalk. I take the M60 and mount it in the turrent I half load the weapon and was ready to rock & roll if needed, think about that. I was overwatching the gate from about 20 yards away, if I had to open fire on a threat the gate guards would have to jump out of the way so I wouldn't hit them. I was also very nervous I don't think I was scared, I was just in the mind set that I might have to shoot someone today and if you think that wasn't on my mind you're smoking crack.

Now I have to say that while everything seemed to be happening in a chicken with its head cut off mode, it was actually very organized chaos. However that being said I was getting a little lonely being in a fire team who's duties were to protect the base gate with just myself on it. I called up the control center to see what was going on, they told me that the off duty flight was being brought in to work the extra patrols and fireteams and that I would be relieved in about 5-10 minutes.

Almost 5 minutes (to the second later) another hummer pulls up with a fireteam (full fire team) to take over my position, I then went back to the guardmount hut and we conducted the evening briefing got sorted out into regular duties and the extra duties we were going to be assuming and went to work.


Through all this there was no fear or indecision, the people from my squadron and the whole base in general came together and did what needed to be done. Everyone was extremely professional and I was proud of our response. This was also an attack by an enemy, an enemy who we were already very familiar with. This is an enemy that while many had never heard of him, had attacked us before. This is the enemy that seized the US embassy in Iran 1979. The same one that attacked the US embassy and military barracks in Beirut, Lebanon in 1983. The same enemy that attacked a night club in Madrid Spain in 1985 and again in West Berlin, Germany in 1986. The list goes on and on an on about the different targets and the many casualties that have been caused by these attacks.

But we continue on and some of us forget while some of us never paid attention in the first place. Then when we have forgotten or at least seemed to have forgotten, it happens again, or at least that was the pattern in the past. However on September 11th 2001 the enemy made a mistake they attacked not a night club or an army base or some far away embassy, They attacked something that almost everyone knows about, something that even if you've never seen it you know it means something, something that was dear to us all, even if we didn't know how much it meant to us... Until it was gone.

So we come to the anniversary of this momentous event that really was awake up call for the nation. Something that opened our eyes to the world and showed us that we were vulnerable, that we were no longer the "invincible US", that we too could bleed, and that there are bad men out there who do want to hurt us. People we have never met who would just as soon cut your throat than give you the time of day, just because you live where you live.

So I leave you with this. Where were you that September morning and have you closed your eyes again?

Random acts of rambling

Well, its been a fairly slow night tonight at work. There have been no shootings or stabings or anyother death, distruction or meyham. While this is a good thing, it does make the night crawl by. I've just been watching the news and chilling for the most part. So its all good, but the night is still young and we have about 3 more hours of work for something to kick off.

Also I got a roommate yesterday. He seems like a good kid, lol, kid a I call him I'm only 5 years older then he is. I'm just going to have to see how this will turn out.

Also for an update about the ZS Charity fundraiser has raised over $2000, and while that isn't much every little bit helps.

Well there are infomercials in abundance this time of moring so now I have to try and find something to watch.

And by the way but Coffie is the worst drink ever and Mountain Dew is the necter of the Gods.

Nutritious Candy Bars

I would like to state that my supivisor at has advised me, that fresh non melted candy items are the worlds most nutritious food, and that he has recently released documents from the Hershey Corporation to back up this statement.

Also instead of STAR awards, He will purchase a Hershey bar for people who go above and beyond the call of duty. However Hershey bars with almonds will be reserved for "The Caring People Award". In addition to this, peanut butter cups will be given out for what he calls "Random Acts of Kindness".

Tribes

This is a very small snippet from another blog that I have found. Please before you make any comments pls read the whole thing, I warn you that it may take a while. Hopefully it will open some eye's.

Eject Eject Eject


TRIBES
(Folks, there's R-rated language throughout this thing. Normally I can edit it out; this time, not so much. I may do so later, but now I want to leave it as I wrote it.)







I’m generally an optimist, and it’s been my pleasure to be able to write mostly about the good and the noble things in our lives. But the events in the Gulf – of Mexico – have brought to a head a summer and a year that has been getting progressively uglier and more painful to watch.

Who can not see the way the country has changed, not since 9/11, but before that – since the 2000 election? Who cannot feel the split, the division, that rips like a shredding sail on a broken mast, canvas tearing like the sound of musketry, as the rigging falls to the deck?

This breaks my heart. It just breaks my heart into little pieces. I have said less and less as I see more and more, because deep in my core I still don’t want to believe that some Americans could willfully and consistently do such destructive things out of such petty and base motivations, things which in time will make the horrors of New Orleans look like a flea circus in a small tent, with the much larger carnival raging unseen in the background.

I’ve taken sides in these essays, obviously – that’s what I do. But I have never, until now, felt the need to take the gloves off and really let fly. I always feared I would regret it, later. I still do. Only now, I fear I will regret it worse if I do not.

So now we must look at Tribes.

Huricane Relief

Zombie Squad Charity

They are collecting money to give to either the Red Cross or Salvation Army. Or possibly even some smaller charities depending on the need. Feel free to make a contribution, if not to this charity then to another one.

Aftermath

Well New Orleans has been evacuated, the city is 80% under water, a lot of people have been killed others are homeless and jobless. This is truly an End of the World event for some of these people. Their lives will never be the same again. Also many of the people affected are of the lower to middle-class, people who didn't have much of a means to begin with, most of them will be in need for some time to come. This truly is a body blow to not only the states that were hit but to the entire United States. Also like many other disasters this one will only be in the news for a few days until something else comes along and gets the medias attention, but the recover effort will be a long and drawn out process that will likely last many years into the future. Quite simply the places affected will never be the same.

How ever there is some good news coming in with all the bad. While many people have lost their lives, many more have been saved. Also America is a very generous county we will help the survivors and the displaced. I just want to know what the world's response will be. The USA is always helping disaster victims around the globe in conjunction with the international community, I just can't wait to see what that community will do for us in out time of need.

Finally just to sum up my thoughts. Stay strong, Don't give up, We need to be there for each other in the end.

Huricane Katrina

I know I'm not the first and I'm sure I'm not the last, but for those of you who believe in God, please say a pray for the folks in New Orleans tonight. For those of you who don't belive in God, well I guess you can wish them the best of luck.

Landfall should be fairly soon, and hopefully the Superdome will stand up the the weather.

Michael Yon : Online Magazine


I just found this blog through a webforum that I frequent. I haven't been able to read through the whole thing yet, but the parts I have are extremely well written. I really like the insight the author has for the troops.

Feel free to check it out. I find you get so much more information from these types of sources than you do from mainstream media, and with out the spin.

The Weapon

An excellent book by Mike Z Williamson.

Some sample chapters from Baens website.

Another boring night... So far

Well like the title says its another boring night here at work. I've not really done much just kind of read stuff and played on the internet. How ever now that I have said that I've jinxed myself and the world is going to end soon :).

Anyways, on an unrelated note, the Forum I frequent Zombie Squad got mini-hacked the other day. It was done as a joke at first but then some trolls came in and ruined everything. Luckily they were able to put the backup in place and everything is back to normal. Well normal for them at least.

Also I just finished a book called Watch on the Rhine by Col. Tom Kratman, It is an execellent book set in the "Polseen" universe created by John Ringo. However while most of Ringo's Books take place either off planet or in America, Col. K's books take place in Germany, and they feature the rejuvenated soldiers of the SS. The book doesn't try and whitewash any of the SS's atrocities but it does highlight that while some member units of the SS were a band of thugs and criminals, there were members that had honor and they were superb soldiers.

Well that's it for now.

Going back to nights

Ok, I just found out that I may be going back to night shift (6pm-6am). There is nothing wrong with that. I like the folks on nights and all that jazz, but I do like getting off in the afternoon and being able to go hang out.

Also I wached the shuttle launch yesterday it was freaking awsome, i just hope the crew can return safely. However if I was an Astronaut I'd go up if it was 3-1 odd's of not comming back, but that is just me

The zombies are coming

So I recently saw "Shaun of the Dead" its a comedy/horror movie that doesn't quite spoof, but does, a lot of the zombie movies from the past. There is some cursing but that's ok, the movie was still funny. Anyways, the day after I saw this I started looking up zombie stuff on the web, you would probably be surprised at how much "zombieness" is out there, but I digress. So I found this website

http://www.zombiehunters.org/main.html

It is a plethora of zombie knowledge and other useful information. If you like survival information and don't mind it being geared toward a Post Apocalyptic World where the undead roam the streets, then this is the website for you. Like they say, if you are prepared for zombies you are prepared for almost anything.



On a different note, I went to the range the other day with some friends, two of whom have never fired a gun before. So we met up at the range and I gave the weapons safety briefing, being the most... Not senior or responsible but the most experience with weapons. We had a Glock 19 (9mm) and a Walther not sure what type but it was a little .22 Cal, I taught both of my friends how to safe and clear and load and all the good stuff on the walther. My other buddy who has shot before started to load up the Glock mags. Anyhoo, long story short both of the Newbs had a great time and while one of them is going back to Indiana next week they both expressed interest in going again. That is how I am going to have to convert people, one at a time, to show them the joy's of shooting, or the "darkside" as some people would lead you to believe

At work again

Well its Saturday, I am at work, and it has been raining for the last 2 1/2 weeks. On a side note I re ordered my SCUBA diving certification card. I would really like to get back into doing that. Well if anything interesting happens I'll try to remember to put it down

Nothing

I don't have much to say, nothing is really going on right now. I hope everyone had a good/safe/fun Memorial day. Also I hope everyone gave a moment of thought to all of those who came before us and made the ultimate sacrifice.

What a Weekend

Ok, this weekend was quite enjoyable with a few execeptions. First off I got off work on Thursday and I went and had dinner at G-ma's house. It was very good, had some chicken casserole, Mac-n-cheese, mashed taters and more. All in all a pretty good B-day dinner. After that, me and the guys (Josey & Lou), went out to the Old House (Old Key Lime House). Friday, we went to the beach, then down to Brewsroom (I had an awesome burger), back to the old house, and from there we went to Cheatahs. As you might guess Cheatahs is a strip club, and as will happen at a strip club much money was spent and a good time was had by all. After that went home and fell asleep, read that last as got home and passed out :). Saturday I had a nice relaxing day, ended up going back to the beach, then home for some Chinese food and to bed early. As for Sunday, I realized I left my ID and my credit card at cheatahs so I had to go and pick it up. Also I had to sign for the tab, but it wasn't too bad only $16 we paid mostly in cash. And now it's Monday and back to the "Grind"

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me ..... bla, bla, bla , yackity yack. Ok so it is about 4:45 pm and I am sitting at work waiting to go home again. I love the way my job is sitting smack dab in the middle of a time warp thingy. It really is amazing, when I last checked the clock it was around noon. I waited about 2 hours and checked again, and to my complete dismay only 5 minutes had gone by, 5 FREAKIN MINUTES. This is how my day has been going. Look at the clock, play on the internet, answer some phones and repeat. This, this is what I have been doing all day long, since 0600 this morning. AHHHHHHH, ok I feel a little bit better now. But, its not all bad. After work I'm going to my Gma's house to have dinner, and while I don't know what is on the menu, I do know there will be Mac & Chesse and Carvel ice cream cake. Now I hate to sound like a little kid, but my grandma has really good mac & cheese, and for some strangely odd reason she didn't make any for my birthday last year, and that has been a source for unending amusement to me and my mother. After that I have Fri, Sat and Sun off. Man I love my 2/2/3 schedual.

***For those who don't know a 2/2/3 is a bi-weekly schedual where I work Mon-Tues off Wed-Thurs work again Fri-Sat-Sun, but the next week I am off Mon-Tues work Wed-Thurs and off Fri-Sat Sun. Every other weekend is a 3 day weekend so it works out fairly well. ***


As for this weekend, I don't know what me and the guys will be doing but hopefully it will involve drinking heavely, carousing loudly and much fun to be had by all. Ok I'm done for now but if anything interesting happens I will be sure to write about.

Another Day in Paradise

Aw, yes just like the post says, another day in paradise. Here I am at work again enjoying the indirect lighting from the fluorescent lamps, basking in the cool breeze of processed A/C. Life just doesn't get any better than this.

Only it does get better, much better. We have cake, and not just any cake, its BIRTHDAY CAKE. Who's birthday you ask? (well probably not really cause you don't care, but its my blog so I get to write what ever I want) It's my birthday, well actually not its tomorrow 5/19, so in the infinite generosity of my employer's they have decided to let me work. Which is oh so what I wanted to do. To be fair I only work Sun/Wed/Thursday this week and have off the whole weekend. So I guess it evens out.

On a brighter note Star Wars III comes out tomorrow so I'm guessing that me and the boys will have to take a `lil trip. If it is a good as the hype says it will be, then it won't suck as bad as the other ones, because face it the last 2 sucked, they couldn't' t hold a candle to the original movies.

Ok, guess I am done for now have a good one..

Yippy

OK First post, nothing interesting here... These are not the droids you are looking for. I really don't have anything to say. I'm just counting down the time till I get off work. Today is dragging by, I spent my first 6 hours as the relief person and the last 6 at the teletype postion, which is exciting, about as exciting as watching "Strange Love" or some other CRAPPY A$$ reality show on tv.
