I saw the AP story in Friday’s paper about CAIR complaining about  Bill Handel’s  radio show and racial comments. They were doing a parity of the Haji to Mecca and over 300 people being trompled on and killed. It was Paul T. Wall who was doing Mahmoud Nolan. Hajj in the Sky. Not Bill Handel.

But Handel is set to fire back, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Handel will apologize IF the Council on American-Islamic Relations: 

1) Decries all acts of terror (described specifically,  not generally)

2) Agrees that Israel is a sovereign nation with the right to defensible borders

3) CAIR has no ties of any sort, financially or otherwise, to any terror orgs or individiuals.

Four Ohio Class Trident Subs the USS Ohio (SSBN 726), USS Michigan (SSBN 727), USS Florida (SSBN 728) and USS Georgia (SSBN 729) will be refitted to handle conventional weapons. They will be used to destroy terrorist bases. NavyHusband says they will be re-classified from SSBN’s to SSGN’s.

Four ultra-stealth Ohio-class SSBNs are having their 24 Trident II D-5
nuclear ballistic missiles removed and replaced with up to 154 Tomahawk
cruise missiles, Defense Industry Daily reported Jan. 18.

The program is assured of bipartisan support with Democratic Sens.
Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, Daniel Inouye of Hawaii, Joseph
Lieberman of Connecticut and Clarence Pell of Rhode Island all
supporting it, DID said.

The Ohios are being converted into so-called "Tactical Tridents," designated SSGNs, with accommodation for 66-102 special forces troops, special attachments for new Advanced SEAL Delivery Systems (ASDS) or the older Seal Delivery Vehicle (SDV) "mini-subs," and a mission control center. In future, the SSGNs may also carry UUV underwater robotic vehicles and even UAVs for aerial operations, the report said.

"These modifications provide the (United States) with an impressive and
impressively flexible set of conventional firepower, in a survivable
and virtually undetectable platform that can remain on station for very
long periods," DID said. The conversion program will cost $1.4 billion,
it said.

The program will allow the Navy to avoid having to decommission the
four Trident subs, the USS Ohio (SSBN 726), USS Michigan (SSBN 727),
USS Florida (SSBN 728) and USS Georgia (SSBN 729).

While some have a bad day driving to thier job, mine has its ups and downs too. But it is a good day so far. Megan has been staying out of the kitchen. She did go outside to play and banged her finger in the screen door. Ouch!  Mommy first aide: a kiss and hug, washed the ouches and placed a band aid on it. Now its bliss and watching Sponge Bob!

Priceless! And no commuting stress. Stay Home Mommy!

Here we go to the 2008 elections and Hillary’s  numbers. If you read this  in the Huffington Post a straw poll on MyDD rates Hillary at almost 2% of over 700 respondents would vote for her. Via Drudge  Hillary in a CNN/Gallup poll:

that 51 percent say they definitely won’t vote for
Clinton (D-N.Y.) in 2008, another 32 percent might consider it, and
only 16 percent vow to back her. That means committed anti-Hillary
voters outnumber pro-Hillary voters by 3-1. The poll suggests she can
forget about crossover votes - 90 percent of Republicans and 75 percent
of conservatives say there’s no way they’d back her.

Hey, It’s winter in the Tropics! Check out the Cam picture from Mauna Kea here.

I heard this story last night on Capt. Dale Dye’s show on KFI (5 to 7 PM Sundays) about the USS Winston S Churchill here   capturing a pirated Dhow in the Indian Ocean. (HT B2B)

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The U.S. Navy boarded an apparent pirate ship in the Indian
Ocean and detained 26 men for questioning, the Navy said
Sunday. The 16 Indians and 10 Somali men were aboard a
traditional dhow that was chased and seized Saturday by the
U.S. guided missile destroyer USS Winston S. Churchill, said
Lt. Leslie Hull-Ryde of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command in Bahrain.

The dhow stopped fleeing after the Churchill twice fired
warning shots during the chase, which ended 54 miles off the
coast of Somalia, the Navy said. U.S. sailors boarded the
dhow and seized a cache of small arms.

The NAVY  will name a ship after Astronaut Alan B. Shepard:

The Navy will name the ship the USS Shepard in honor of the late New
Hampshire-born astronaut who was the first American in space, the
Granite State’s Congressional delegation announced.

“Alan
Shepard lead a distinguished career in the U.S. Navy and at NASA, and
naming a ship after him will be a fitting tribute to one of our
nation’s greatest pilots and astronauts,” U.S Reps. Charlie Bass and
Jeb Bradley and U.S. Sens. Judd Gregg and John Sununu said in a written statement.

………..

The USS Shepard will be part of the T-AKE class of auxiliary support
ships, which have a primary mission of delivering supplies to Navy
ships, transferring cargo and providing logistical support.

The ship has a top speed of 20 knots. It will be build in San Diego by National Steel and Shipbuilding Co.

I was so glad Reagan  was elected 25 years ago. Reagan built up the military, the economy and our hopes for peace. (Peace though Strength) His Conservatism promoted America to solve its problems with less government. Yes, rather than raising taxes to solve peoples problems. By giving them the tools to get their butts out of bed in the morning and work a job to support themselves, without the government doing it for them. He was and still is my Inspiration. He brought pride back to America after Vietnam, Watergate and Iran hostage crises.

"It is no coincidence that our present troubles parallel and are
proportionate to the intervention and intrusion in our lives that
result from unnecessary and excessive growth of government."

NavyHusband never got to vote for Reagan. In 1980 he was too young to vote, and in 1984 he was deployed somewhere  underneath in the deep blue sea (Submarine) and did not vote. I was a crazy idealist and voted for Andersen the Independent candidate in 1980. In 1984 I came to my senses and voted for Reagan and have been voting Republican and conservative ever since. (But I was thankful later on the right guy was elected in ‘80!)

Osama obama spoke yesterday via tape message. Experts think it was recorded around November 2005. So the bastard is still alive, but crawled up in a hole. Using "Democratic" talking points, he wants a truce. No way! In Islam, a truce is only used when they are down and need time to get their strength back to hit us again.

V.P. Dick Cheney said in his speech yesterday,

We have faced and we are facing today enemies who hate us, who hate our
country, who hate the liberties for which we stand. They dwell in the
shadows, wear no uniform, have no regard for the laws of warfare, and
feel unconstrained by any standard of morality. We’ve never had a fight
like this. And those of us in positions of responsibility have a duty
to wage a broad-scale effort for the sake of this nation’s safety and
security.

Osama said:

"As for similar operations taking place in America, it’s only a matter
of time. They are in the planning stages and you will see them in the
heart of your land as soon as the planning is complete."

Cheney continues:

It seems more than obvious to say that our nation
is still at risk of attack. Yet, as we get farther away from September
11, some in Washington are yielding to the temptation to downplay the
threat, to back away from the business at hand. That mindset may be
comforting, but it is dangerous. We’re all grateful that this country
has gone for more than four years without another 9/11. Obviously, no
one can guarantee that we won’t be hit again. But our nation has been
protected by more than luck.

It is no accident that we haven’t been hit in more than four years.

We’ve been protected by sensible policy decisions, decisive
action at home and abroad, and around-the-clock efforts on the part of
people in the armed services, law enforcement, intelligence, and
homeland security.

The enemy that struck on 9/11 is weakened and fractured, yet, still lethal, still determined to hit us again.

Either we are serious about fighting this War on Terror or
we are not. And our enemies of America need to know we are serious, and
this administration will not let down our guard.

Osama says:

"Your President Bush has been misleading you. He has lied
when he said that the people are behind him. Opinion polls have
indicated that the overwhelming majority of you want him to pull the
troops out of our land.

"We have the answer to these misleading information. The
situation in Iraq is getting worse for you and the dead and the injured
among you is on the rise," the voice on the tape said.

Don’t believe the bastard Bin-Laden. Our President wants to protect us against the Islamofascits at any cost. We had to go to war to over throw the Taliban in Afghanistan. In Iraq, Saddam refused many UN resolutions, supplied money to suicide bomber familes, harbored terrorists and ran terrorist training camps. By keeping the fight over there, we have protected our homeland from terror. We must be vigilant and keep the course. Protect our families, Support the War on Terror. Kill the bastards before they kill any more innocent Americans. Remember 9/11,  let the heroes and victims memories not fade. They did not die in vain.

Mikey a blogger  had a stroke and needs all the prayers you can give him and to his family. He’s a former Navy guy and is currently going to school to be an engineer. He’s only 38 years old with wife and family. God bless and we pray for a complete recovery.
