I doubt many of you reading the Anvil are naive enough to believe that New York Governor Eliot Spitzer is the only politician in the United States alive today to utilize the services of prostitutes. Why then did someone believe it so important enough to go after Spitzer with the intent to actually smoke out his personal dalliances, and how might these reasons tie into some of the other issues I have recently been pointing out here with such temerity?

By now the entire world has witnessed to some extent the speech given yesterday by Barack Obama. I personally have only bothered to listen to bits and pieces of it, because I already knew that more discussion on the subject of “race in America” was just what it has been for too many years now: a diversionary tactic.
Today I’m bringing you some footage from one of the White House Correspondents Association dinners. This is a time when the elite in Washington, D.C. hob-knob with the very reporters that are supposed to be keeping an eye on them. It’s supposed all be in good fun. Supposed to be.
I’m not laughing.

Robert Spencer makes another good point today in regards to the tactics being used against those of us who dare defy the norm and stand up to Islamofascism. These apologists are too often the actual thugs utilizing the very fascist ideas they attempt to project upon those they despise:
8 CommentsBecause they’re taking a page from Adolf Hitler’s playbook — cf. this quote from Mein Kampf (thanks to Frank) about the Nazi movement and its tactics:
This story disgusts me. MSM reporters are fanning the flames of doubt around the horrific events that lead to the Beslan Massacre, conveniently forgetting that if it wasn’t for the Islamic terrorists taking all those children hostage in the first place, more than 200 of them would be alive today!
From the AP, Video reopens debate over Beslan attack:
14 CommentsA video that remained secret for nearly three years after the horrific Beslan hostage crisis has cast new doubt on official conclusions about what led to the deaths of 334 people, more than half of them children, during one of Russia’s worst terrorist attacks.
I’ve wanted to re-post this here for a few weeks, so today is the day. If you haven’t yet seen this absolute evidence of Iranian involvement in the Iraq debacle and the past and continuing murder of American soldiers via proxy groups armed with imported Iranian munitions, this is it:
This is an exclusive report from Pajamas Media and author Richard Miniter, who had this to say about this video clip:
As with an ordinary mine field, you have to be very careful where you put your emphasis. Stress the wrong truth and either the left or the right wants to blow you up.
Here at Camp Victory, a sprawling concrete and razor wire American base that wraps around Baghdad International Airport, Maj. Weber was trying to explain how to negotiate that mine field. On the one side he wanted me to know me that the captured weapons on the table before us were — definitely, no doubt about it, absolutely — from Iran. On the other hand, he avoided drawing the obvious conclusion that Iran is supplying America’s enemies inside Iraq.
That simple and obvious conclusion would anger the Democratic leadership in Congress, much of the press corp, and a large swath of the antiwar set.
Bear this is mind, when you watch this exclusive Pajamas Media video shot in Iraq. The video offers startling new evidence of Iran’s involvement in the insurgency. It is the first up-close, online video showing captured Iranian weapons. These particular weapons have not been shown to the public before.
Far from being offered up by the military, it took me weeks of wangling to see Maj. Weber. The military does not want to talk about the mortars, rockets and bombs flooding in from Iran. It has been burned by the press every time the subject comes up.
Senior officers also realize that the Democrat-led Congress doesn’t want to hear about Iran’s sinister role in Iraq and that President Bush does not want a confrontation with Iran now. To make the interview even harder to get, Maj. Weber’s specialty, Explosives Ordnance Disposal or EOD, has a culture of not talking to the press. Any EOD officer who does, owes his unit a case of beer for each appearance.
So conspiracy theorists who feel this exclusive Pajamas Media Video is military propaganda couldn’t be more wrong—the military would have been happier if the interview never happened.
Finally, Maj. Weber agreed to this exclusive interview with Pajamas Media on two conditions: that a public-affairs officer be present to interrupt him if he said anything with political ramifications, and that the conversation be limited simply to the weapons themselves.
I agreed to those conditions because a large story the rest of the media missed: the weapons themselves. These Iranian weapons and others like them are killing American soldiers.
Twice before the military has tried to present to the press overwhelming evidence of Iran’s involvement in the Iraq war, only to be met by hostile skepticism. The skepticism basically takes the form of three questions:
1) Couldn’t these weapons have been made anywhere?
2) Isn’t it fishy that these weapons were marked in English with American-style dates?
3) Isn’t all of this a ploy to justify a neocon war with Iran?As you will see from the video, Maj. Weber can definitively answer the first two questions. As for the Daily Kos-inspired third question, well, who can address questions from planet Paranoid? And who should bother?
