Over at Znet, we can read more moonbattery from the likes of Paul Street:

Well, gee, but it seems that Iraq and the Islamic world has soldiers of the United States Empire flooding in, “intent on killing” Iraqis and Arabs in general. This is indeed very much the intent that is drummed into the heads of US soldiers in their boot camps, where they are encouraged to mercilessly butcher “sand-niggers” and led to believe that they will be avenging 9/11 in Iraq even though the Iraqi people, including Saddam Hussein, had nothing to do with the jetliner attacks. Tens of thousands of Iraqis have been killed because of this racist war indoctrination ordered by the imperialist War Pigs in Washington D.C. Insofar as al Qaeda now has a presence in Iraq, of course, this is pretty much entirely due to the illegal and murderous US occupation of that once sovereign nation.

The bloody war masters in the White House, the Pentagon, and the Justice Department will not mind, I hope, if impartial observers deem the American invaders to be illegal combatants and therefore fit to be murdered, tortured, and imprisoned indefinitely without right to counsel or even formal charges.

I was unaware that we were training our sailors and soldiers nowadays about “sand niggers” and drumming that intent to kill into their heads in training.

Good god!

I’m surprised that CNN and the New York Times hasn’t picked up this story yet.

Over at the Tsunami Tragedy Blog, sponsored by the Socialist Alliance of Queensland, comes another wonderful and helpful post:

Like any bully the United States takes pleasure out of destroying other people’s things. Like any true sociopath the US is incapable of feeling remorse, sympathy, or of learning from it’s mistakes. Like any true psychopath the US cannot grieve for the people of South Asia. The United States can only see bottom lines and profit margins.

Is Coca-Cola donating free Coke to the survivors? Are Reebok and Nike donating free shoes? Is Wal-Mart pitching in? Well, no. But, the United States is forming a Relief Coalition.

This is sick.

Oh, the bully must be in charge. The sociopath must have things his way. The psychopath will crush all opposition. And if you don’t want to play with him, then he’ll take his ball and go home.

News reports state that American troops will be sent into Thailand. Oh, that’s great. Another front on the war on terror? Time to clean up against the rebel Muslims in the South of the country?

I guess it’s damned if we do – damned if we don’t. A few days ago, this blog wrote, quite strongly, that we weren’t doing enough – now they’re criticizing us for sending Marines and others over there to help. A no win situation?

Hypocritical, I call them.

Over at Chapomatic, Chap has gone wading with the Left over at left2right.

I particularly liked this broadside:

Okay, Frankly0, how do you arrange for such purchases? Where does the money go? How does it get funneled? Since Congress hasn’t made a separate appropriation, who gets money taken from them to make it work? What needs to be bought and how do we get it there? Since the strike group is racing at top speed, their logistic capability will be limited to equipment on hand until they get boots on the ground. Who writes the contract to lease the ships for the heavy lift?

Wouldn’t it make sense that these types of questions take more than thirty seconds to answer?

Even if you were correct about the reason for the money going to a larger number, I get a similar answer timewise using anecdotal experience and rules of thumb. Would it not make good fiducial sense to figure out where to spend the money so that the people who have that money taken from them (me, for instance) get that money used effectively? I haven’t checked with more than two of my NGO friends, but they also have a finite time frame to get into gear as well–unless they’re already on the ground it takes time to start rolling and flowing logistics.

[…]

Is that going to be automagically all better now that some hubris-laden arrogant functionary at the UN decided to publicly complain that he didn’t get everything he wanted?

Has your heart become so hard that you are unable to see any competence or good in others?

I’m glad he’s on our side.

Over at that Home of the Moonbats, ZNet Blogs, comes this gem from the comments:

The obscene corination [sic — bryan] of the messianic Imperial War Wizard George II, and the sick spectale of some military “ball” surrounding him that costs more than the “aid” they were shamed into grudgingly giving, is the equivalent of having the slaves in the old/new/same South having to do soft shoe for massa, while death and destruction abound. Again, I am ashamed to be an American, and are doomed to be so for the forseeable future.

“Imperial War Wizard George II”?!

And that, my friends, is the platform behind which the left believes they will conquer in the 2006 midterm elections.

Anyone want to make a bet?
