Obama's Mentor Davis on going to college. Mr Obama quoted him as saying: “Leaving your race at the door. Leaving your people behind. Understand something, boy. You’re not going to college to get educated. You’re going there to get trained.” He added that “they’ll tank on your chain and let you know that you may be a well-trained, well-paid nigger, but you’re a nigger just the same.” looks like the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

Our Investigative Unit Was on the Beach [Mark Steyn] The New York Times's official explanation as to why it didn't cover the Van Jones story until it was over: >>> One reason was that our Washington bureau was somewhat short-staffed during the height of the pre-Labor Day vacation period. <<< On the other hand, they pulled their crack reporters out of Martha's Vineyard to cover my front-page non-quote.

4 more Marines killed due to our insane assed ROE. Get those pop up targets out of Afghanistan if your just going to let them be slaughtered. This is what happens when amateurs who know nothing about the military and who may actively despise the military are put in charge. Four More US Troops Killed ... by ROE Sep 9 Written by: Diana West Wednesday, September 09, 2009 8:27 AM Q: What killed four US troops in Afghanistan yesterday? A: US rules of engagement. The story is from McClatchey by Jonathan S. Landay via Gen. Paul Vallely. Read, but don't weep -- get angry. [UPDATE: I just realized that the McClatchey text I linked to (above) in the Miami Herald is heavily edited, perhaps for space at least in part. Also snipped out, however, are some very damning facts about Afghan complicity in the deadly ambush the piece reports on. (Here is a more complete version.) I will add and underline below the lines the Miami Herald saw fit to remove.] Here's the McClatchey nut graph: U.S. commanders, citing new rules to avoid civilian casualties, rejected repeated calls to unleash artillery rounds at attackers dug into the slopes and tree lines -- despite being told repeatedly that they weren't near the village. Whoever wrote these rules should be hauled before the Senate Armed Services Committee and then cashiered. Message 25930709
