BigV, you ain't no patriot, cuz iffen you was, you'd get all you need to know from Sarah Palin.

Who?
Iceland, that's who.
Why??
Well they've bad-mouthed Wall Street pretty good, but no, haven't attacked us... yet.
What???
They're building a new temple to the Norse Gods.

Icelanders will soon be able to publicly worship at a shrine to Thor, Odin and Frigg with construction starting this month on the island’s first major temple to the Norse gods since the Viking age.
Worship of the gods in Scandinavia gave way to Christianity around 1,000 years ago but a modern version of Norse paganism has been gaining popularity in Iceland.

See, rejecting Christianity to turn back the clock 1000 years, so obviously they will be terrorists.
Tell fox! Tell Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity! Tell Palin!


Oh, and don't accept any wedding invitations in Iceland.

It's Baaaaccck


For those of you that enjoy "Morning Joe", here is a pretty good 10 minute discussion...



On a somewhat different note, I find it amusing that Bob Woodward
is questioning the sources and twisting of the discussion,
when he is one of most famous of "historians" who use
vague "trust me" references for his own sources.

Should be almost as safe as being an Ambassador:

Canadian military adviser killed in friendly fire in Iraq

A Canadian special forces soldier was killed and three others wounded in a friendly fire incident in northern Iraq, ... Canadian troops training local forces had just returned to an observation post at the front line Friday night when they were mistakenly fired upon by Kurdish fighters, ...

... Canada has 69 special forces soldiers with Kurdish peshmerga fighters in what the government calls an advising and assisting role. They were sent to help train Kurdish fighters last September in a mission that was billed as noncombat with the elite troops working far behind the front lines. Harper told Parliament in late September that the soldiers would not accompany the Kurdish fighters, but a Canadian general said in January that they do 80 percent of the training and advising behind the front lines and about 20 percent right at the front lines.

The general also revealed then that Canadian soldiers have been helping the Kurdish fighters by directing coalition airstrikes against Islamic State fighters, a role generally considered risky because it means they are close to the battle against the militants.

The Canadians' efforts complement those of the United States, which has conducted the vast majority of the airstrikes against the Islamic State group. But in their new role, the Canadians are performing a task in targeting airstrikes that so far the U.S. has been unwilling to do. Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has repeatedly said the U.S. would consider directing attacks from the ground but that it has not done so. ...

Not yet. Maybe.

That sucks. I'm sure we can pin that on Obama, The head of the DoS and others that have nothing to do with the event.

Forgive me for being a little bitter about the whole thing.

RIP, Canadian SF who are doing what we have been unwilling to do.

Hers was EXCLUSIVE USE.
illegal or unethical?
What a partisan hack this guy is. I couldn't take any more past the 4:25 minute mark.
Woodward is as bad, if not worse than Rove.
