More about the NASA “outreach” to Muslims


The Taliban executed a spy this week. In a daring raid they snatched the snitch from his house. They brought him to their Western Civilization free HQ and hanged him. Lacking gallows they tied a rope around his neck and lifted him off the ground and strangled him. He was 7 years old.

50 years ago Americans, none of whom observed Sharia law and all of whom were indifferent to the ongoing Sunni & Shiite dustup, volunteered to sit on top of a 5 story tall silo, said silo being filled with gasoline. If it were possible they would have struck the match themselves. They would give an electronic “thumbs up”, shoot the unseen weenie a highball, and someone in a building a mile away would push a button and “light that candle”. They would “slip the surly bounds of earth…and trod the high untresspassed sanctity of space”. Whatever their faults they did not hang 7 year old boys.

And the President wants the latter to reach out to the former?

Men who risked it all “on one turn of pitch and toss”? Men who gave the Right Stuff its true meaning are to be “outreachers” to the lesser breeds? Surely “our old certitudes and our fixed creeds are inverted”. But towards what end?

It’s too easy to say that the boobies are running the hatch.

The people in the White House haven’t lost their senses; they want us to lose ours.

We have a President who was woefully unprepared for the job. To quote the Reverend Jackson, “The only thing he ever run was his mouth”. It must be noted that he said this just before he said that he wanted “to cut his nuts off”. If he had called him a “macaca” even Attorney General Hold’em would have had to investigate.

The man in charge of this demeaning exercise is a retried Marine General. That’s the United States Marine Corps, not the United States Marine Corpse.

Another Marine General has a new job. His overall mission is to reach out and touch the Taliban. He wants to kill them. That seems to be the best way to “reach out” to them. He says it’s “fun to shoot them”. They slap women around and, as we have noted, abuse their children. Shoot them twice just to make sure. That’s the way men talk when they are in a war

Admiral William Halsey, a proud son of New Jersey, also ran an “outreach” program in the Pacific in the early 1940s. He would regularly broadcast his position in plain language so that the Japanese would know where he was. His reasoning was impeccable. He believed that” the only good Jap was a dead Jap”.

I don’t think that’s what Obama had in mind.

It was good advice then; it’s good advice now.

Mecca delenda est.

PS – America is the land of the second chance. Let’s get Mel Gibson down to the Gulf to save some despoiled bi-valves to show he cares, really cares about the environment. Send him to rehab for post repressed intercontinental anger syndrome. Spruce him up a bit and have him run for the United States Senate from West Virginia. Somebody has to take the place of Exalted Cyclops Robert Byrd. Why not an Academy Award winner? Besides, he won’t have to take any money from the hated “special interests”.
