Thanksgiving Day Memories
nothing stranger for me than Thanksgiving Day 1985 , soy turkey for dinner in the mess hall on the isle of Diego Garcia, drank 3/4 of a bottle of Tankeray and way before the days of CD's or DVD's , I listened to a homegrown TDK casette tape of the Last Waltz....OVER AND OVER......and tried not to think about the fact that it was Thanksgiving back in the states or that I had approx 325 more days to spend on the ROCK before I could go home again........of course i listened to Van Morrisons " Listen to the Lion" in honour of the Detroit Lions ........click on the subject link above .

this is the real reason the blak haus is at war with Fox News, you won't read this story in the times or hear it on the cbs evening news , yet it is out there for all media outlets to report. in case you fomrgot just who this skmbag is , he was behind the murder of 4 U.S. Civilians in iRAQ, had their bodies dragged through the streets and hung from a bridge over the Euphrates River and 4 Navy Seals will be court martialed for alleggedly giving him a bloddy lip........it's over my friends, it is so over.

Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq — the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004. And three of the SEALs who captured him are now facing criminal charges, sources told FoxNews.com.
The three, all members of the Navy's elite commando unit, have refused non-judicial punishment — called an admiral's mast — and have requested a trial by court-martial.
Ahmed Hashim Abed, whom the military code-named "Objective Amber," told investigators he was punched by his captors — and he had the bloody lip to prove it.
Now, instead of being lauded for bringing to justice a high-value target, three of the SEAL commandos, all enlisted, face assault charges and have retained lawyers.
Matthew McCabe, a Special Operations Petty Officer Second Class (SO-2), is facing three charges: dereliction of performance of duty for willfully failing to safeguard a detainee, making a false official statement, and assault.
Petty Officer Jonathan Keefe, SO-2, is facing charges of dereliction of performance of duty and making a false official statement.
Petty Officer Julio Huertas, SO-1, faces those same charges and an additional charge of impediment of an investigation.
The three SEALs will be arraigned separately on Dec. 7. Another three SEALs — two officers and an enlisted sailor — have been identified by investigators as witnesses but have not been charged.
FoxNews.com obtained the official handwritten statement from one of the three witnesses given on Sept. 3, hours after Abed was captured and still being held at the SEAL base at Camp Baharia. He was later taken to a cell in the U.S.-operated Green Zone in Baghdad.
The SEAL told investigators he had showered after the mission, gone to the kitchen and then decided to look in on the detainee.
"I gave the detainee a glance over and then left," the SEAL wrote. "I did not notice anything wrong with the detainee and he appeared in good health."
Lt. Col. Holly Silkman, spokeswoman for the special operations component of U.S. Central Command, confirmed Tuesday to FoxNews.com that three SEALs have been charged in connection with the capture of a detainee. She said their court martial is scheduled for January.
United States Central Command declined to discuss the detainee, but a legal source told FoxNews.com that the detainee was turned over to Iraqi authorities, to whom he made the abuse complaints. He was then returned to American custody. The SEAL leader reported the charge up the chain of command, and an investigation ensued.
The source said intelligence briefings provided to the SEALs stated that "Objective Amber" planned the 2004 Fallujah ambush, and "they had been tracking this guy for some time."
The Fallujah atrocity came to symbolize the brutality of the enemy in Iraq and the degree to which a homegrown insurgency was extending its grip over Iraq.
The four Blackwater agents were transporting supplies for a catering company when they were ambushed and killed by gunfire and grenades. Insurgents burned the bodies and dragged them through the city. They hanged two of the bodies on a bridge over the Euphrates River for the world press to photograph.
Intelligence sources identified Abed as the ringleader, but he had evaded capture until September.
The military is sensitive to charges of detainee abuse highlighted in the Abu Ghraib prison scandal. The Navy charged four SEALs with abuse in 2004 in connection with detainee treatment.

troublesome
i hope i am wrong , i hope my overly suspicious nature is working overtime for naught, i hope it's not a political game , a well calculated game to play with peoples lives to further the cause, but i doubt i am wrong.
Obama / Holder to charge Sheik Muhammad in NY Civilian court as opposed to military tribunal.
It first struck me as strange when i recd an text alert from 1010 wins while in Annapolis that Atty Gnrl Holder publicly stated the Govt would seek the death penalty for sheik muhammad.....why now ? why make that statement so soon ..that's odd for a nobel peace prize winner....unless of course he knows there is no way he can possibly win.....so what's his angle? was the govt trying to wrestle the focus of the story away from the fact that they are NOT being tried in Military Tribunals or trying to submerge the fact that they WERE being held in NYC?...those very important facts are not lost on me.
well first of all , you can't say he's a typical liberal or soft on crime....no sir, obama went for the jugular..literally.....if he wins the trial and muhammad is executed, further proof that he got the job done.
secondly , even if they win the trial , there is no chance of getting the death penalty, or at the very least the execution will delayed in the courts until long after this administration is on the book tour.
the trial ? every liberal lawyer in the nation will line up to subpoena a multitude of characters from the evil Bush administration ...especially Cheney...to humiliate them as torturers and have all the evidence thrown out for waterboarding and anything else they may admit under oath.....the trial will be an extended , and globally reported indictment of the previous administration.....good stuff for team obama.......and if the case is lost or dismissed it's not holder or barry's fault, it's that dam prior administration.....muhammad goes free or serves 20 years in a fed prison, obama apologizes to the world for the bushies, and tells the American public that he tried to bring a criminal to justice but was hampered by the despicable acts of Cheney & Co....peace prize intact...all is well in barry's world.
The pretrial hearings on admissable evidence will have the world wondering just whom is on trial....holder already said he will go after the CIA & FBI , but now he won't have to....just like obama....somebody else will do the dirty work for them.
at he very least , it is a media circus , played out on the streets of manhattan, for all the world to see, maybe even another attack.....more fuel to the "IT's BUSHs Fault" fire that obama is burning......a win-win for his team......i hope none of my readers are killed when the shoe drops....I wonder how many new recruits al-queda will win with this circus trial on the evening news all over the world.
possible outcomes.....
conviction & execution = WE did it...MY administration gained justice for the 9/11 families. The saddest truth is even if we win the trial , we loose...the international attention and platform afforded these confessed murderers receive will do unspeakable harm for generations to come....cameras in the court room holder promises....cameras in the court room..
aquittal = dam bush....but it won't happen again because my guys give miranda rights to EVERYONE.....another peace prize?

Anchors Aweigh
don't search for me in local haunts or expect my shadow to appear, for i have set sail for the port of Annapolis this morn, to eat and drink amongst the ghosts of the United States Navy, on the cobblestoned streets and the Publik Houses of yesteryear , in the Commodore Barry Bar and the like , on those ancient streets to dead for dreaming as Mr Zimmerman would quip of Mcdougal, anchors aweigh me boys , I shall indeed Drink to the Foam !

what if they held a parade and nobody came ? Today's turnout should rival that of the previous Friday for the Yankees I am geussing ....right ? Lord Knows if the Yankees hadn't volunteered to play beisbol and risked their lives in Philadelphia doing their jobs we might be slaughtered in the streets or bombed into submission by our enemies .....that's worthy of a parade.
November 11, the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice.) And today , while the battle outside rages , we .....we.......we.......we go about our business as if it were just another Wednesday........i will leave you with Tom Waits...the day after tomorrow
I got your letter today
and I miss you all so much here
I can’t wait to see you all
and I’m counting the days here
I still believe that there’s gold
at the end of the world
And I’ll come home to Illinois
on the day after tomorrow
It is so hard and it's cold here
and I’m tired of taking orders
And I miss old Rockford town
up by the Wisconsin border
What I miss, you won't believe
shoveling snow and raking leaves
And my plane will touch down
on the day after tomorrow
I close my eyes every nite
and I dream that I can hold you
They fill us full of lies, everyone buys
'bout what it means to be a soldier
I still don't know how I'm supposed to feel
Lyrics'bout all the blood that's been spilled
Will god on this throne
get me back home
on the day after tomorrow
You can't deny, the other side
Don't want to die anymore then we do
What I'm trying to say is don't they pray
to the same god that we do?
And tell me how does god choose
whose prayers does he refuse?
Who turns the wheel
Who throws the dice
on the day after tomorrow
I'm not fighting, for justice
I am not fighting, for freedom
I am fighting, for my life
and another day in the world here
I just do what I've been told
We're just the gravel on the road
And only the lucky ones come home
on the day after tomorrow
And the summer, it too will fade
and with it brings the winter's frost dear
And I know we too are made
of all the things that we have lost here
I'll be 21 today
I been saving all my pay
And my plane will touch down
on the day after tomorrow
And my plane it will touch down
on the day after tomorrow

priceless
Giants Tix = $80

It does not get any better
there are few moments more joyous on this planet than watching the Men of the US Naval Academy sing a victorious verse of Alma Mater on the field at ol South Bend.
Now college men from sea to sea
May sing of colors true,
But who has better right than we
To hoist a symbol hue?
For sailor men in battle fair
Since fighting days of old,
Have proved a sailor's right to wear
The Navy Blue and Gold.
