John Kerry tried to make a joke again. This John Kerry joke referenced the story about South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford going missing. Kerry said it was too bad Sarah Palin didn’t go missing. Read about it below and see photos and a video.

Since John Bolton will not be returning as UN Ambassador, this is who the media is talking about as potential candidates to replace him.
Here are some of the leading candidates:

Former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell. His resume like others …

From Jo’s Cafe: Coincidence?

Many people might recall that on July 8, 1947, witnesses claimed that an unidentified object with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico.
This is a well-known incide…

This article was on target. Hopefully Kerry will never live down what he did when he went and talked to the enemy. He does it everytime he opens his mouth- he gives aid and comfort to the enemy. Kerry- it is time to shut up

Just leave a post and I’ll be sure to send a trackback ping your way! Since I have to send the pings manually, it may take a few hours for trackbacks to post. Sorry, I’m putting in extra hours at work for the holidays……

They decry us, they call us names, and they burn our flag and hold us in contempt all over the world, but when troubles arise and they know they do not have the capability to handle it themselves who is it that they turn to? The Unites States of Ame…..

If you are interested in a view of the inside of the Pentagon procurement process from Vietnam to Iraq please check the posting at my blog entitled, “Odyssey of Armaments”

The Pentagon is a giant, incredibly complex establishment, budgeted in excess of $500B per year. The Rumsfelds, the Administrations and the Congressmen come and go but the real machinery of policy and procurement keeps grinding away, presenting the politicos who arrive with detail and alternatives slanted to perpetuate itself.

How can any newcomer, be he a President, a Congressman or even the Sec. Def. to be - Mr. Gates- understand such complexity, particularly if heretofore he has not had the clearance to get the full details?

Answer- he can’t. Therefore he accepts the alternatives provided by the career establishment that never goes away and he hopes he makes the right choices. Or he is influenced by a lobbyist or two representing companies in his district or special interest groups.

From a practical standpoint, policy and war decisions are made far below the levels of the talking heads who take the heat or the credit for the results.

This situation is unfortunate but it is absolute fact. Take it from one who has been to war and worked in the establishment.

This giant policy making and war machine will eventually come apart and have to be put back together to operate smaller, leaner and on less fuel. But that won’t happen until it hits a brick wall at high speed.

We will then have to run a Volkswagen instead of a Caddy and get along somehow. We better start practicing now and get off our high horse. Our golden aura in the world is beginning to dull from arrogance.

Remember THIS?

John Kerry has a long traitorous history of meeting with America’s enemies and bad-mouthing the U.S. in the process. The most recent example is Kerry’s current trip to the middle east. He plans on meeting with American troops statio…
