Ode to Liam Tasker and Theo

Comment by Jim Campbell, Citizen Journalist and Patriot

In life, they were inseparable. And in death, this brave man and his best friend are staying by each other’s side.

A record-breaking Army sniffer dog and his devoted handler will make their final journey home together next week.

Theo, a springer spaniel cross, suffered a fatal seizure shortly after his master, Lance Corporal Liam Tasker, was shot dead by the Taliban on Tuesday in early March in Afghanistan.

One of our readers, Tom Crane was touched enough by the event to write a poem about the tragedy and asked If it could appear on this site.  Gladly my friend, Gladly!
Dear Liam and Theo,

We Weep For Thee.

Born of the chaos and misery of war,

You forged a bond that only death could part.

Yours was a love that can only be shared by a master and his dog and for those of us who understand, that love can only be joined by the heart.

The sacrifice that you made that others might live will, forevermore, be a part of life’s story.

We pray that you will both share in God’s eternal glory.

Rest ye well.

In the Afghanistan war new rules of engagement are killing U.S. Troops

By Jim Campbell

New rules of engagement in Afghanistan that are designed to better protect civilians will endanger U.S soldiers, and NATO Allies.
In concert with Afghans and NATO allies, American soldiers last month waged an aggressive fight against Taliban insurgents in the town of Marjah.

CASUALTIES AND DEATHS AMONG U.S. AND ALLIED TROOPS

HAVE DOUBLED SINCE NEW RULES OF ENGAGEMENT.

Military families back home want to know: Are troops walking into hell with one hand tied behind their backs? Are civilian lives being spared in exchange for military lives?

The answers to both questions are an emphatic yes.

US accused by French of ‘occupying’ Haiti as troops flood in

France accused the US of “occupying” Haiti on Monday as thousands of American troops flooded into the country to take charge of aid efforts and security.

Let us never forget that the French are only good for whining, making and hoisting white flags, and maybe a few bottles of wine.  We saved their butts at Omaha and Normandy beaches or they would all be speaking German today.  The comments made by Mr Joyandet serve no useful purpose. But then again what purpose do the French serve.  Let us also never forget the “Oil for Food Scandal” which the French Government sold their vote in the U.N. to possibly halt the invasion of Iraq.  Whores by any other words are still Whores. Random thoughts while observing the passing parade, J.C.

The French minister in charge of humanitarian relief called on the UN to “clarify” the American role amid claims the military build up was hampering aid efforts.

Alain Joyandet admitted he had been involved in a scuffle with a US commander in the airport’s control tower over the flight plan for a French evacuation flight.

“This is about helping Haiti, not about occupying Haiti,” Mr Joyandet said.

Geneva-based charity Medecins Sans Frontieres backed his calls saying hundreds of lives were being put at risk as planes carrying vital medical supplies were being turned away by American air traffic controllers.

But US commanders insisted their forces’ focus was on humanitarian work and last night agreed to prioritise aid arrivals to the airport over military flights, after the intervention of the UN.

The diplomatic row came amid heightened frustrations that hundreds of tons of aid was still not getting through. Charities reported violence was also worsening as desperate Haitians took matters into their own hands.  Complete Story

Dairy of a Mad Conservative

TheOne did no favors to Coakley yesterday when he flew in to stump for her and wow the crowd. He wowed nothing. First t hing he did was expound on the “Teddy Kennedy” legacy which right away brought to mind Scott Brown’s famous line (at 30 seconds on this clip):

“With all due respect. This is not the Kennedy seat, or the democrat’s seat. It’s the people’s seat.”

This is one of those spontaneous catch phrases that define and make a campaign. Brown’s campaign has been made.

TheOne then bragged on the prosecutorial record of Coakley. He said she was tough on criminals, putting CHILD RAPISTS behind bars. If I were on the Coakley team, I’d have been cringing about now. Her record as an AG? Read the 5 part series at BigJournalism.com by Gary Hewson to find out about her “illustrious” record as a prosecutor. About how she didn’t prosecute a cop who raped a 2 year old with a curling iron until the mother of the victim forced her to do something. Or how about her handling of pedophile  Father Geoghan’s child rape case?

Did TheOne really want to open that can of worms?

He admitted early on that he knew very little about Btown’s record but then spent most of his speech ridiculing the man who has stumped his entire state (until this weekend) in an old pick-up truck.

Brown has won this even if he never takes “the people’s seat” because he has provided much needed momentum and enthusiasm to the conservatives in this country, although he is not conservative by most standards. In a state like Massachusetts, what Scott Brown has done in the election cycle is nothing short of phenome

Dems’ Health Care Strategy: Seek Forgiveness Instead of Permission

January, 18,20010

by Kyle Olson

New York Post

Consider this irony: Democrats and their special interest allies are in the fight of their lives to keep the seat formerly held by the champion of socialized medicine in the bluest of states.  Democrats should be tap dancing on the foreheads of Republicans in Massachusetts.  But instead, they’re racing against the clock for a deal on health care reform because they run the risk of losing their critical 60^th vote in just a few days.

So the Democrats strategy is clear:  seek forgiveness of American voters in November instead of permission now because the probable message from Tuesday’s election will not be in favor of ObamaCare.  Democrats are “hoping” to have an overall deal on health care reform, the tax-dodging Ways and Means committee chairman Charlie Rangel told NationalJournal.com, just in time to avoid the Tuesday Massachusetts vote.

The Huffington Post quoted SEIU vice president Anna Burger as saying, “Let’s go on and actually pass this bill.”  Anna’s wish is, of course, this White House’s command.

The special election this week in Massachusetts can easily be viewed as a referendum on Obama, his policies and specifically government-run health care.  And in a state that is navy blue, it’s a dog fight, with SEIU stepping in to plop down over $600,000 for TV ads savaging Republican candidate Scott Brown.  And RedState.com reported House Democrats are spending beaucoup bucks to elect a Democrat to the Senate.  It’s pure panic time for Democrats in Washington.

But they’re working as fast as they can to make health care reform a non-issue by the time the newest senator from Massachusetts is seated.

And worse still, more giveaways are emerging from Washington, DC but this time, not to lawmakers but to campaign-funding special interest groups.  News broke Thursday afternoon that Democratic leaders had “negotiated” a compromise with labor leaders over the so-called “Cadillac” tax.  They must have made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.
