Even the pond scum got up and moved away
Political attack ads get stomach-turning
Take a look at this <ad> that Republican challenger Saxby Chambliss is running against Democrat Max Cleland in Georgia. The ad luridly hacks away at Cleland for being soft on defending America and says Cleland is lying when he says he has the “courage to lead” and defend the United States.
You may remember that Cleland lost three limbs on the battlefield while serving as an Army Captain in Vietnam in 1969. (The washed-out black and white images of Cleland in the ad are conveniently cropped around the face and upper body so as not to show any signs that Cleland is a triple-amputee.) Saxby Chambliss’s House website bio contains no mention of any military service.
Lower than low.

Black helicopter alert for sniper murders?

Sniper attacks as gov’t special ops
According to military source with experience in Vietnam, the recent sniper killings in the Washington area look like the work of a military “special operation” involving no less than two or three profesional snipers.
This source pointed to the timing, location and the fact that all the shooters got away without leaving a trace. He gave the example of the shootings of October 3, when no less than 4 people were killed within 2 hours. He pointed out that although they were all killed in the same general geographical area, they were too far from one another for one shooter.
He estimated that three shooters would be involved. The skill in these cases is not that they killed their targets, but did it without exposing their positions, as a trained sniper would, and then got away without leaving a trace. This type of operation could not be done from a moving vehicle, because the chances of hitting the target are very low.
Therefore, the fact that no one saw where the shooting came from would indicate that the shooter was in a fixed position waiting for an opportunity to shoot without giving away his position. This also would facilitate the fact that they were able to leave the scene totally undetected.
Then they really go off into ConspiracyLand, speculating this is a build up to increased repression at home and /or excuse for Iraq War (blame the shootings on bin Laden, etc.). All completely bizarre, right?
Consider this. CnnFn reported the Friday murder happened while a police officer was across the street from the gas station. Not only was this hugely brazen, the officer saw nothing suspicious before, during, or after the shooting. To me, this indicates stone cold pro(s) are doing this, from a stationary position, and that they are superb shots. In other words, military-trained.
From the homepage of the site
UPDATE: news sources are now saying that the shooter may have slipped the police dragnets, either by fleeing south toward Richmond, or by doubling back and hitting the interstate. It is also being spoken of, that the white van might be a “rabbit”–that the real shooter is using a white van as a decoy, while he (or she) sets up and fires from another location.
UPDATE: Sniper might be taking aim from rootops; waiting for white vans to pass by, so speculate reporters near scene of latest slaying. Stay tuned.
Meanwhile people in DC are so spooked they are paying for gas then driving away without pumping it.
Fear is running so high at the service station this week that “people are paying for their gas and then driving away without pumping it,” said employee Shaun Oles at the Exxon on Bowie’s Route 301.

Persian experts: U.S. dangerously ignorant of invasion consequences
The general opinion at the First International Conference of the Association for the Study of Persianate Societies was that although Saddam Hussein is an unworthy national leader, the United States government gravely miscalculates the effect of an invasion on regional stability. Moreover, experts here say that Washington does not have the competence to manage internal Iraqi politics and a possible internal civil war after a “regime change.”
One specialist on Kurdistan said that the United States underestimates the vigor of the Kurdish drive to establish an independent nation in northern Iraq — something another American ally, Turkey, deeply opposes.
Afghan specialists wondered how the United States intended to create a new state in Iraq when they have failed to do so in Afghanistan. “Every American promise for Afghanistan has been broken,” said Zahir Mo’meni, a social scientist working for the new Afghan government.

California’s Hispanic press braces for war in Iraq
Hispanics make up nearly a third of the population in the nation’s most populous state, California. PNS contributor Marcelo Ballve examines the growing Spanish-language press across the state and finds a community fearful of anti-immigrant backlash should the United States go to war with Iraq.
