THIS JUST IN! SHE DA MAN, SHE DA MAN!

BULLY BOY PRESS  CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

CRANKY CLINTON, FRESH OFF HER LATEST MACHO, MANLY EXPLOITS, TOOK THE DAY TO BOAST OF HERSELF.

"YEAH," SHE INSISTED AS SHE GRABBED HER CROTCH, "I RANG CIRCLES AROUND THOSE JERKS.  BENGHAZI?  MORE LIKE FERNGULLY AFTER I GOT THROUGH DANCING ACROSS THEIR HEADS."

WITH THAT, CRANKY LIFTED UP HER LEFT LEG, FARTED AND WALKED OFF YELLING, "FORGET THE VILLAGE, IT JUST TAKES ME!"




Staying with CNN, Barbara Starr reports:



The information still coming in, very sketchy, but a short time ago, a US official directly familiar with the information told CNN there has been one US military fatality in this hostage mission overnight in Iraq. Apparently US Special Operations Forces were ordered into this mission to rescue a number of Kurdish hostages. We're told the estimate is that some 70 Kurdish hostages were rescued.  The Kurds, of course, are in northern Iraq.  This is a group that the US has -- the US military has especially been working very closely with.  I think it is safe to assume that there were some Kurdish elements there on the ground with the US troops -- they do work hand in hand.  But this would be, to the best of our knowledge, the first US combat fatality on the ground in the war against ISIS.  US troops are not on the ground in combat under President Obama's orders.  They have gone in a couple of times into Syria on the  ground for hostage rescue missions, for capturing high value targets, but this is not something that we have yet seen -- a US service member potentially killed on the ground in this war against ISIS.



James Rosen and Mitchell Prothero (McClatchy Newspapers) add, "It was also the first time that American combat troops have undertaken a ground mission in Iraq since President Obama sent the first of 3,000 troops back there 16 months ago with orders that limited their activities to training, advising and equipping Iraqi soldiers."  Missy Ryan, Mustafa Salim and Thomas Gibbons-Neff (Washington Post) report, "In a pre-dawn operation, soldiers from the Army’s Delta Force, supporting a team of elite Kurdish soldiers, descended on a militant compound in the town of Hawijah, where officials believed that dozens of Kurdish fighters known as peshmerga were being held captive."  DoD noted:



U.S. Special Forces supported an Iraqi peshmerga operation earlier today to rescue about 70 hostages from an Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant prison near Hawijah, Iraq, Defense Department Press Secretary Peter Cook told reporters at the Pentagon this afternoon.
American Special Forces personnel carried out the planned operation at the request of the Kurdistan regional government after learning through intelligence sources that the hostages faced imminent mass execution, Cook said.
The Special Forces mission was consistent with Operation Inherent Resolve’s counter-ISIL efforts to train, advise, and assist Iraqi forces, he emphasized.
One U.S. service member and four peshmerga soldiers were wounded when ISIL extremists fired on U.S. and Iraqi forces during the rescue, he said, adding the U.S. service member was medically treated but later died.

The recovered hostages were placed with the Kurdistan Regional government, Cook said, adding that no hostages died during the rescue to his knowledge.


Richard Sisk (Military.com) observes, "The death of the American, whose service branch was not immediately disclosed, was the first combat fatality suffered by the U.S. in the campaign against ISIS and as such raised questions about the U.S. mission in Iraq and President Obama's pledge not to commit 'boots on the ground' to the fight."



The death was raised at today's US State Dept press briefing.  It so unnerves the State Dept that they made an error in their transcript (first "MR TONER" below should actually be "QUESTION"):


MR TONER: I just wondered if you have anything on the operation – rescue operation happened in Hawija by – in cooperation with the Kurdish special forces. Were there any American hostages rescued there?


MR TONER: Well, you’re talking about, of course, the rescue mission that took place – right, exactly – on the ISIL prison in Hawija, Iraq. My counterpart, Peter Cook, I think is briefing on this shortly or if not concurrently. But in answer to – specific answer to your question, no, I’m not aware that there were any U.S. citizens, which I think you were asking about. Now, understanding was that it was about 70 hostages, 20 of them were members of, we believe, Iraqi Security Forces, and that’s as much information as I have.


QUESTION: Right. If you have any information on that, was that the first rescue mission operations being conducted by United States forces in cooperation with Iraq? Is that the one – first one in Iraq, I believe?


MR TONER: I believe it is the first – you’re saying hostage rescue?


QUESTION: Yes.


MR TONER: I believe it is, but defer to others who know more about that. But I think that’s correct.




Mark C. Toner had nothing to offer.


But how could he?

Isn't this the start -- or at least the public recognition -- of the mission creep so many warned about when Barack began sending US troops into Iraq as 'trainers' in August of last year?


The Iraq War has not ended.


Barack Obama will leave the White House in January 2017 with the Iraq War still going.

This despite his portraying himself as against the Iraq War (only before it started -- check the public record) and thundering "We want to end the war" to the Cult of St Barack over and over in 2007 and 2008.

"We" apparently didn't include him.

He had the power to end it.

He chose not to.

The Iraq War continues.

    THIS JUST IN! SHE ROAMS THE PRAIRIE!

    BULLY BOY PRESS  CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE


    THE HILDABEAST ROAMS THE PRAIRIE FOR ANOTHER DAY STALKING ITS PREY.

    EVEN U.S. VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN SHIED AWAY FROM TAKING ON CRANKY CLINTON -- ONE OF D.C.'S MOST VILE AND TOXIC BY PRODUCTS.

    REACHED FOR COMMENT, CRANKY TOLD THESE REPORTERS, "YOU CAN'T TOUCH THIS."

    SHE THEN ATTEMPTED TO DO IT HAMMER TIME BUT TRIPPED, FELL FLAT ON HER FACE, FARTED AND SIGHED, "COULD YOU JUST SHOW YOURSELVES OUT?"






    Let's start with politics.



    , "We made a mistake going into Iraq" and weighs in on the war in Afghanistan:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          




    I know Donald Trump.  I don't like Donald Trump.  I'm not voting for Donald Trump.


    But I find it hilarious how so many on the centrist-left side -- not real leftists, just whores for the Democratic Party -- are obsessed over when Trump was against the Iraq War.  Was it before the illegal war started (March 2003) or, as the public record seems to indicate, some time in 2004?


    While the whores rush to attack him, does anyone bother to register Hillary Clinton?


    She 'regrets' her vote authorizing the Iraq War (mainly because it's the one mess she hasn't been able to lie herself out of).  It was a "mistake."

    Where's her statement on Iraq?

    Where's her statement on anything other than her own narcissistic self?

    The worthless might consider that but then if the likes of Kevin Drum were honest or ethical, instead of challenging Trump or anyone else, they'd be taking a vow of public silence because it's trash like (and including) Kevin Drum that pimped the Iraq War to begin with.


    It's a sign of how craven the Kevin Drums are -- and how craven their candidate Hillary is -- that they need to attack someone for decrying the Iraq War.


    While the US election is a year away, Canada's held their election.


    The loser?

    Stephen Harper.  The War Hawk who persecutes war resisters has been prime minister of Canada since February 2006.

    Thanks to the election, he's out and Justin Trudeau is in.  Trudeau will not only become Canada's next prime minister, he'll become the second in his family.  He's the son of the late Pierre Trudeau whose name has been raised repeatedly over the last years as people noted that, during Vietnam, Canada was a refuge for war resisters while, under Harper, it became known for kicking them out of the country.


    Australia's ABC reports:



    Canada's prime minister-elect Justin Trudeau has told US president Barack Obama that Canadian fighter jets will withdraw from fighting the Islamic State (IS) group in Iraq and Syria.
    Mr Trudeau told a press conference that, while Canada remains "a strong member of the coalition against ISIL", he had commitments to end the combat mission.



    June 19, 2014, Barack declared the only answer to Iraq's various crises was a political solution. But in the months that followed, he didn't work on a political solution, he worked on building a group of countries that would agree to bomb the already war-torn Iraq.

    The bombings have not been successful.

    Civilians have been killed and wounded.

    Any 'militants' killed?

    The bombings have been a great recruiting tool for the Islamic State.

    Barack's 'plan' is a failure, Operation Inherent Failure.


    And now Canada plans to walk away from the bombings.

    THIS JUST IN! IT TAKES A SOCK PUPPET!

    BULLY BOY PRESS  CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE


    WHEN NOT FERRYING IN DRUGS FROM MENA, ARK. OR EATING THE HEADS OF SMALL CHILDREN, CRANKY CLINTON CAN BE FOUND IN BROOKLYN AT A COMPUTER HUB WHERE SHE -- THE ULTIMATE SOCK PUPPET -- LEAVES HUNDREDS OF NEGATIVE REVIEWS ON ANY BOOK THAT DARES TO SUGGEST CANKLES ARE NOT THE NEW BOOTY.


    REACHED FOR COMMENT, CRANKY USED A STEAK KNIFE TO REMOVE SCRAPS STUCK IN HER TEETH AND SNARLED, "I AM LEGEND!"

    NO, WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT SHE MEANT EITHER.

    BUT WHEN SHE BARES HER FANGS, YOU JUST NOD QUICKLY AS YOU BACK SLOWLY AWAY.

    SLOWLY.



    FROM THE TCI WIRE:



    Jon Stone (Independent) reports that Andrew MacKinlay, Labour MP during the lead up to the Iraq War, has declared himself "ashamed" for having faith in Tony Blair:


    Andrew MacKinlay, who sat on the foreign affairs select committee in the run-up to the war, told LBC Radio that a new memo shows Tony Blair “duped” him along with the rest of the country. 

    “Looking at this these documents this morning and everything else that has gone before we know that this was a complete and utter deceit to me and to others,” he said.


    What's he talking about?


    Telesur notes, "A 2002 memo from former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell to President George Bush suggests that then-U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair had already committed support for an invasion of Iraq – almost 1 year before the invasion took place.

    News of the agreement surfaced Saturday.

    Sunday saw a denial on behalf of Blair.  Olivia Goldhill (Quarts) reports:

    A spokeswoman from Tony Blair’s office said in an email to Quartz that the memo did not contradict what Blair has said in public. “This story is nothing new. The memo is consistent with what Mr. Blair was saying publicly at the time and with Mr. Blair’s evidence to the Chilcot Inquiry,” she said, referring to Britain’s public inquiry into the Iraq war.


    But others aren't so quick to buy that spin.  Rowena Mason (Guardian) reports:


    Alex Salmond, the SNP’s foreign affairs spokesman and Scotland’s former first minister, said “the net was now closing” around Blair and added to concern over Chilcot’s conduct.
    “The memo contradicts claims from Mr Blair that all that time he had been seeking diplomatic ways to avoid an invasion. It also adds weight to the evidence given by Sir Christopher Meyer, the former UK ambassador to the United States – to the Chilcot inquiry – that the military timetable and preparation for invasion took precedence over any diplomacy and specifically over the timetable for the weapons inspectors led by Hans Blix,” Salmond said.



    And BBC News notes, "BBC political correspondent Chris Mason said the document appeared to offer a revealing insight into how Mr Blair was perceived at the very highest level in Washington, in the year before the Iraq War."  Samuel Osborne (Independent) adds, "Mr Blair, who served as prime minister between 1997 and 2007, has repeatedly denied rushing to war in Iraq."





    What stood out most about the story this morning is how it echoed The Downing Street Memo in that major American outlets avoided it.  This morning, the only US outlet covering it seriously was the Associated Press (click here for Danica Kirka's story).


    Since then?

    Global Research has covered the story.  Dissident Voice carries a serious examination by Felicity Arbuthnot which ties up many ends and also notes:

    Also notable is that so keen was Tony Blair to ally George W. Bush in invasion-plotting that he left the UK during the ten days national mourning for Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. The longest living member of the Royal family had died on March 30, 2002. Queues lined to pay their last respects as she lay in state in Westminster Abbey, the Monarchy grieved and Her Majesty’s Prime Minister, Blair, boarded a ‘plane to the US.


    Jennifer Deutschmann covers the subject for Inquisitr.  Sophia Tesfaye publicly embarrasses herself (it's all about the GOP race for president!!!!!) at Salon but Salon's where all the non-thinkers go.  That said, she should be greeted with rotten fruit wherever she dares to show her face after taking the revelations and trying to turn them into whore points for the Democratic Party.  She's a real piece of trash so it's good that she works at a garbage dump.  For an example of crazy on the right-wing side of the spectrum, you can check out the loony tunes Michael Rubin serves up at Commentary.


    And what of 'brave' McClatchy Newspapers?


    As we've long noted, McClatchy didn't do a damn thing to report the truth in the lead up to the Iraq War.

    Knight-Ridder did.

    And McClatchy purchased the Knight-Ridder chain in June of 2006.

    But McClatchy was as cowardly as most other outlets -- cowardly and craven -- in 2002 and 2003.


    They remain so today.

    THIS JUST IN! HILLARY INSISTS 'YOU CAN'T TOUCH THIS!'

    BULLY BOY PRESS  CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE



    REACHED FOR COMMENT BY THESE REPORTERS, SHE REPLIED, "I'LL GET 8 YEARS IN THE WHITE HOUSE OR 10 IN THE SLAMMER -- SAME DIFF."

    ASKED WHY SHE WAS BEING SO FLIPPANT, CRANKY REPLIED, "AIN'T NOBODY EVER BEEN ABLE TO PIN ANYTHING ON ME, YOU SEE.  THEY AIN'T NEVER GOING TO PIN ANYTHING ON ME COZ I GOT FRIENDS, YOU SEE, FRIENDS WHO PROTECT ME. THEY ALWAYS COME AFTER ME BUT NO ONE'S PINNED NOTHING ON ME SO FAR!"

    AND WITH A LOUD CACKLE, SHE HUNG UP THE PHONE ON HER END.





    "Save the cheerleader, save the world," NBC's Heroes insisted throughout its original run but the imprisonment and/or death of at least one cheerleader might have saved the world -- at least when that cheerleader was Tony Blair.

    War Criminal Blair lied to the Iraq Inquiry when he testified just a few years ago but he's been lying since 2002.  He's a War Criminal and he's a liar.

    David Millward (Telegraph of London) reports:


     The controversy over Tony Blair’s decision to back George Bush over the Iraq war has been rekindled after a memo emerged showing the Prime Minister pledged to support an invasion a year ahead of the conflict.
    Details of the Prime Minister’s readiness to back the US in bringing down Saddam Hussein are contained in a note from Colin Powell, then Secretary of State, to George Bush, ahead of Mr Blair’s April 2002 summit with the President in Crawford Texas.
    The memo was found in a batch of secret emails on the private server of Hillary Clinton, the former Secretary of State, which was made available by the US courts. 


    As Millward reminds, a year before the start of the Iraq War, Tony Blair was lying to the world by insisting the efforts were towards a diplomatic solution.  Millward also reports, "A second memo says that Mr Blair used spies within the Labour party to help influence public opinion in favour of the war."


    Tony Blair is exposed as the liar he always was, yes.

    But it also exposes two other liars: Colin Powell and Hillary Clinton.


    Colin The Blot Powell.

    Remember when that piece of trash went on 20/20 insisting his lies to the United Nations were unknown by him at the time (he knew, use the link).

    He's a dam liar.

    He's a piece of filth trash.

    And that brings us to the little puppy following around sniffing at his crotch little Larry Wilkerson.

    MSNBC tried to turn him into a star and saint but the Scott Pritchard to Colin Powell's David Brice never took because he's unphotogenic and highly off putting.

    But MSNBC tried, didn't they?

    Rachel Maddow had him on countless times, this apologist for Colin Powell, this member of the War Machine, this liar to the American people.

    It's not just the original liars, it's these news ones.  Rachel Maddow's Iraq special, for goodness sake, was even called out as fraudulent by Randi Rhodes.

    Yet Rachel is held up as a truth teller when all she's ever been is a little liar.  She was for the Iraq War -- she was even calling for it to continue when Air America Radio started and repeatedly insisted on air that "if you break it, you own it.  That's the Pottery Barn policy."  But it wasn't the Pottery Barn policy and Iraqis -- the owners of Iraq, please grasp -- were not asking US forces to stay in Iraq.

    But a liar like Rachel, a corporate whore, just sets up her own end.  So she lied when Lizz Winstead walked from Unfiltered and told people Lizz was just sick.  She lied about the fact that Unfiltered had only a month left and that they would be replaced by trash TV merchant Jerry Springer.  She had her father being a sock puppet on the Unfiltered message board.  And she was paid off for her lies by getting her own Air America Radio show.

    To get her MSNBC show, she insisted to AP that Chris Matthews was sexist and then, when informed she'd have her own show, she carried out her tit-for-tat part of the agreement by insisting Chris Matthews was not a sexist.

    Chris Matthews is a sexist.

    This was a known reality long before Rachel used the charge in 2008 to leverage her own show.

    But not according to Rachel.

    She's a liar who'll say anything and only the ridiculous idiots at The Nation magazine will pretend otherwise and pretend that her corporate and centrist politics are at all left -- she's actually about as left as Joe Lieberman.

    The same woman (who along with Lizz -- sorry, Lizz) refused to have war resisters on Unfiltered continues to preach and promote policies and candidates who are not left.

    She's the perfect foil for Hillary Clinton's campaign of destruction that runs right through the White House.


    And Hillary . . .

    She feels so sorry about her Iraq War vote, right?

    That's her lie she insists.

    But she won't talk about it.

    Turns out, she wouldn't talk about the arrangement Bully Boy Bush and Tony Blair had.

    She'd communicate it in e-mails.

    But to the American people, the ones she needs to vote for her?

    She just continued the lies because she is a liar.

    This was a Republican deal -- Bully Boy Bush was in the White House.

    So why has she covered up for them?

    She (ghost)wrote that bad book Hard Choices Easy Whoring and supposedly that told the truth about Iraq.

    Supposedly.

    Turns out the whore can't stop lying about Iraq.

    She'll say anything, put her name to any text someone else writes, because she's a dishonest liar.

    And she and Colin are now exposed as the eternal liars they both are.

    For years now, both gutter dwellers have insisted they were misled -- by intel, by this, by that.

    They're just liars who cover up for other damn liars.
