Faux Brass

Faux Brass: a class of former military officers who have shed the honor and pride of their commissions in favor of retreatist and defeatist policies.

In recent times, a few former military officers have rendered negative opinions on the War on Terror which includes ongoing skirmishes in Iraq and the current trouble in Gaza and Southern Lebanon. Now, let’s be clear that most current and former military “brass” support efforts worldwide in the certain-to-be-lengthy War on Terror. The major media, however, fail to show the overwhelming support for the effort among military brass.

Jack Murtha comes to mind as a former military-turned-politician who gets it wrong — redeploy, he says, to Okinawa(?!). Murtha also shamefully convicts our military prior to any charges being made.

It’s the same with John Kerry who offers that he could have done better if he were president — the trouble is, he offers no ideas, but only the same retreat and concede policy that has been his lifelong pursuit. Thank God that America caused him to concede the last election.

Another ex-military general-turned-presidential-candidate-turned-pundit, Wesley Clark, always portrays the administration in the anti-internationalization light. This from a former NATO Commander — not actually a U.S. Military function. Clark will always defer to the “international community” for policy answers.

Murtha, Kerry and Clark fail to put America first. American interests must first be served before worrying how the “international community” views things. After all, has the UN ever succeeded with anything they attempt, other than stealing from children’s programs and Iraqi oil profits? Nope.

These three examples of Faux Brass, Murtha, Kerry and Clark, each remind me of a certain loudmouth cartoon chicken trying to look like an eagle.

Truth in Aerial Advertising

After today’s most ridiculous performance by Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame at the National Press Club, there can only be one thing to say about their message:

Update 7/25/2006: GOP Bloggers
: Once Again, Joe Wilson Lied. Christopher Hitchens presents a case for Wilson lying about the yellowcake uranium issue brought by British intelligence. The unmitigated gall of the Wilsons is totally unbelieveable yet alone their lies!

Diplomatic ADD

My guess is that Kim Jong Il wasn’t getting the attention he needs as one of the premier candidates for the world’s worst case of Diplomatic Attention Deficit Disorder. Right up there competing for the title is Hugo Chavez and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Right now, the United Nations Security Council is meeting to decide what wording to use in a stern letter to Kim. That’ll do the trick for sure, just like the retarded effort of the Clinton Administration to prevent Kim from getting nukes. In other words, useless.

Car Thieves and Illegal Aliens

This is an interesting story. It seems that a local syndicate of thieves in conjunction with Central American criminals have been busy stealing over 200 high-end vehicles.

The key figures in this (literally) are a GM dealership employee and a locksmith accomplice. Gang members would scout out a likely vehicle. They would read the vehicle ID number through the windshield and forward it to the GM guy, who would then look up the VIN on GMs computer and identify the key and codes for that particular vehicle.

Then the illegal alien thieves would be given the keys and remotes so they could drive the vehicle to a cooling off location — that is a place to abandon the vehicle temporarily in case a tracking device would lead police to the vehicle. Those that weren’t “hot” were then fitted with phony VIN tags and sold at liquidation prices.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca had this to say about the illegals:

“This is a very big, international auto-theft ring,” [Sheriff Lee] Baca said. “What makes this case unusual is that four of the main suspects have been arrested in the past for this very same crime.

“They are nationals from (Central American) countries. They were deported after their previous crimes occurred and they were convicted … and here they are, back in the United States, back in Southern California, doing the very same thing.”

Deported? And they’re back already doing the same thing? This is a clear demonstration of just how lame our border enforcement has been in the past and will continue to be if we don’t get a border security policy that works.
