Don’t know Shiite from shinola By Ilana

Mercer

Almost unanimous on the right is the mystifying notion that a reduced American footprint in the world, President Barack Obama’s doing, has brought about the “sudden” eruption across Iraq of a particularly savage fac-tion of Sunni fundamentalists called the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). This small band of zealots has conquered a third of Iraq, including the metropolis of Mosul, from which 500,000 residents have fled. Tikrit too is under ISIS control. Fallujah fell in January.

Odd too is the idea that ISIS, cur-rently barreling toward the capital, Baghdad, is somehow a new killer on the block. While the gang, led by new-comer Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is not as ancient as the Egyptian goddess by the same name—ISIS was previously known as Al Qaida in Iraq (A.Q.I.), re-flecting its earlier, more modest mis-sion. A.Q.I. was the brainchild of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, described aptly in the New Yorker as, “A Jordanian who had been a convicted thief and sex criminal before turning to radical Islam.” Commensurate with its mor-phing, expansive ambitions, A.Q.I. changed its name to ISIS. Whereas “Al Qaida was originally envisioned as a kind of Sunni foreign legion, which would defend Muslim lands from Western occupation,” writes New Yorker staffer Lawrence Wright, “Zar-qawi had a different goal in mind. He hoped to provoke an Islamic civil war.” George W. Bush’s invasion primed Iraq for Zarqawi’s purposes. “There was no better venue than the fractured state of Iraq, which sits astride the Sunni-Shiite fault line.”

So savage and extreme is ISIS, al-ways has been, that it had been “boot-ed out of the Al Qaida consortium,” at-tests Wright. Remember the “Dear Al (Zarqawi)” letter penned by Ayman al-Zawahiri to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, in 2005? In it, Bin Laden’s Capo Bastone (Zawahiri) had asked the lieutenant (Zarqawi) to reconsider the wisdom of slaughtering so many Shia civilians in Iraq. Al-Z No. 1 broached the topic by

counseling Al-Z No. 2 about the wisdom of bringing “the Muslim masses to the mujahed movement.” To that end, kill-ing so many of them was probably un-helpful. Yes, the Shia are a handful—theologically problematic—conceded Zawahiri. Suspect too was the Shia’s history of “connivance with the Cru-saders.” But while Zawahiri didn’t give a dried camel’s hump about his Shia brethren, he thought better of slaugh-tering them, preferring to forgive their “ignorance.” Besides, added Zawahiri as an afterthought, it’s impossible for the mujahedeen to kill all Iraq’s Shia.

While Zarqawi rejected Zawahiri’s soft approach, his personal odyssey has

Guard will likely corral well-motivated, tribal Shia militias. (In Iraq, Shiites make up about sixty percent of the population. Sunnis comprise less than twenty percent.)

It is this cauldron of sectarian strife that Saddam Hussein kept from bub-bling over.

What’s unfolding in Iraq, with ISIS, is no more than a progression along a predictable continuum, the starting point of which was an American occu-pation that unseated an extremely ef-fective law-and-order leader: Saddam Hussein. Consequently, where there was once oppression and order, there is now only chaos and carnage. The law-lessness we brought to Iraq with our messianic, faith-based initiative has allowed the manifestation of divisions that have riven the region for four mil-lennia.

As I predicted in 2007, “Once we decamp, some Saddam-like strong-man will fill the power vacuum left. The dictator to emerge from the ruins of Iraq will impose Sharia, pray to the hidden Imam, and compel women to walk about in black nose bags. We had it good with Saddam because he was secular, an enemy of fundamentalist Islam. Can we have back what, in our folly, we fouled up? No.”

There is little reason for me to hope to impart something new about the pre-dictable progression of Iraq from (sec-tarian) rogue state to failed state to Islamic state, in the wake of the Ameri-

a happy ending. Zarqawi died, killed by Americans in 2006. But his legacy, like that of Bush’s invasion of Iraq, lives on in ISIS. Shia Iran, once a bitter enemy of Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, now has pride-of-place in the Iraq that Bush built. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has been galvanized to the aid of the Iraqi army. But it is not the 930,000 members of the Iraqi security forces that the Revolutionary Guard aims to rouse. Despite the princely sums ($25 billion) Americans spent to train and prepare it, in Mosul, this inorganic, arti-ficial creation of the Bush brigades fled before 1,300 ISIS fighters.

Q: Who are the Sunnis and who are the Shia?A: Both are branches of Islam and the adherents of both are Muslims, all

bound by the same Quran, the same five pillars of Islam – belief in one God, daily prayer, fasting, charity, and hajj, or pilgrimage. Where they mainly dif-fer is on the question of who should have succeeded the Prophet Muhammad, who founded Islam in 620.

Q: What is at the root of their conflict?A: Basically, Sunnis and Shiites differ on who should have succeeded

Muhammad after his death in 632. Sunnis supported the succession of Abu Bakr, the prophet’s friend; Shiite Muslims felt the rightful successor was the prophet’s son-in-law and cousin, Ali bin Abu Talib.

I agree this story forms the basis of an email chain and it has been well documented on Snopes and other sites... but it’s hard disagree with its content. — Richard Matz, publisher

This is a story and the author, Rick Mathes, is a well-known leader in pris-on ministry:

The man who walks with God always gets to his destination. If you have a pulse you have a purpose.

The Muslim religion is the fast-est growing religion per capita in the United States, especially in the minor-ity races!!

Last month I attended my annual training session that’s required for maintaining my state prison security clearance.

During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers

What is an infidel?

representing the Roman Catholic, Prot-estant and Muslim faiths, who each ex-plained their beliefs.

I was particularly interested in what the Islamic had to say. The Muslim gave a great presentation of the basics of Is-lam, complete with a video.

After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers then it was my turn. I directed my ques-tion to the Muslim and asked:

“Please, correct me if I’m wrong, but I understand that most Imams and

clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that’s the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?”

There was no disagreement with my

statements and, without hesitation, he replied, “Non-believers!”

I responded, “So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?”

The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. He sheepishly replied, “Yes.”

I then stated, “Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine The Pope commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!”

The Muslim was speechless! I con-tinued, “I also have a problem with

being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your follow-ers to kill me! Let me ask you a ques-tion: Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?”

You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame.

Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the “Diversification” training seminar were not happy with my way of dealing with the Islamic Imam, and exposing the truth about the Muslims’ beliefs.

In 20 years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. To elect the President!

can occupation. There is no reason to expect me to best a column dated De-cember 2006, titled “At Least Saddam Kept Order”:

“… If Iraqis appear ungrateful or dis-oriented, it is because they are busy …

busy dying at rates many times higher than under Saddam. In the final days of Saddam’s reign of terror, i.e., in the 15 months preceding the invasion, the pri-mary causes of death in Iraq were natu-ral: “heart attack, stroke and chronic ill-ness,” as The Lancet reported. Since Iraq became a Bush object lesson, the primary cause of death has been violence. …

… Hussein’s reign was one of the more peaceful periods in the history of this fractious people. What a shame it’s too late to dust Saddam off, give him a sponge bath, and beg him to restore law and order to Iraq.

Secretly, that’s what anyone with a head and a heart would want. We could promise solemnly never to mess with him again—just so long as he kept his mitts off nukes, continued to check Iran (which he did splendidly), and minimized mas-sacres. To be fair, Saddam’s last major massacre was in 1991, during which only 3,000 Shiites were murdered. That’s less than Iraq’s monthly quota under “de-mocracy.”

No one is praising Saddam, yada, yada, yada. But even the Saddam-equals-Hitler crowd cannot but agree that Iraq was not a lawless society prior to our faith-based intervention. Even the war’s enablers must finally admit that under our ministrations Iraq has gone from a secular to a religious country; from rogue to failed state.

Put yourself in the worn-out shoes of this sad, pathetic people. Would you rath-er live under Saddam—who was a brutal

If you sent me a gift, what would I do after I opened it? I would phone you to say “thank you,” right? Why? Why would I call to “thank you?”

You’re probably saying to yourself, “Well, you would call to say thank you in order to express your appreciation.”

But that’s not true.Maybe I’m appreciative for the gift

and maybe I’m not. You wouldn’t know based on the fact that I called to say “thank you.” All you would know based on the fact that I called to say “thank you” is that my mother raised me well and that I have good manners. After all, it would be rude to not thank you for the gift.

But just because I said “thank you” does NOT mean that I’m appreciative nor does it mean that you will feel ap-preciated.

What if I called you AGAIN a week later and said, “you know that blue shirt you sent me for my birthday? I’m wearing it now and it looks GREAT with the tie my wife bought me. Thank you. And by the way, how did you know

The power ofAGAIN!

that I was a medi-um?”

Now why did I call you that SEC-OND time? That’s right; it could only be because I’m THANKFUL.

The first “thank you” could be out of obligation; the SECOND “thank you” could only be APPRECIATION.

1. Think of something your spouse did LAST WEEK that you could ex-press appreciation for AGAIN. And ei-ther verbally or in writing say “thank you.”

2. Make a list of things your spouse does this week that you expressed appreciation for and make a note to remind yourself to say “thank you” AGAIN next week.

I encourage you to make a men-tal note (or keep a list) of things your spouse does that deserves appreciation and come back to them occasionally. Remember them! And remember to say “thank you” AGAIN.

I call it “The Power of AGAIN.” I encourage you to get into the habit of doing it. It’ll do wonders for your mar-riage.

She had no idea he turned down military life insurance

By Amy BushatzSurvivorBUZZ.com

Like so many of our service mem-bers, Lt. Cmdr. Landon Jones thought he was invincible. He was also the sav-

er in his military home, squirreling away money for the future any way he could.

Which is why, in retrospect, it makes sense that he declined his

Service member’s Group Life In-surance (SGLI) policy five sepa-rate times. Even though it could pay his family up to $400,000 if he died, it was a extra $27

he could pocket every single month. Plus, he wasn’t going to

die so he wouldn’t need it anyway.But then he did.Lt. Cmdr.

Landon Jones and his co-pilot Chief War-rant Officer 3 Jonathan S. Gibson were killed Sept. 22, 2013 when water hit the spin-ning blades of their helo after it landed on a small Navy ship. The aircraft hit the deck and broke apart. A search and rescue was launched to find Jones and Gibson and then called off.

After a horrifying notification pro-cess in which Jones’ wife, Theresa Jones, learned of his death via the Na-vy’s social media pages, she was floored when she discovered that she and her two small children would not be receiv-ing her husband’s SGLI because he didn’t have any. When a service mem-ber declines SGLI as Jones did five different time, the spouse is supposed to be notified in writing. And Theresa had never seen any paperwork or other

documentation about her husband’s actions. And she had never thought of

looking at his “page 2” – the part of his SGLI paper-work where he accepts or declines it.

“I don’t think he de-clined SGLI in an effort to hurt myself or our children,” Theresa told

me. “I think he did it because he was a frugal man who never believed he would die. He was trained to be a war fighting machine for the Navy. While my husband may have taken his de-cision to save that extra money each month to an extreme, and while he may have been a little cocky in thinking nothing would ever happen to him, and whether or not I agree with it, I can see his train of thought.”

Theresa had no idea that her hus-band could completely decline SGLI. Like many military spouses, she and her husband worked as a team tackling different parts of their home and fam-

“I feel this is embarrassing because I think people will look at me as a naive, idiotic woman

for not asking my husband about the status of his SGLI. I also do

not want to paint my husband in a bad light. He was a great husband,

wonderful father, and amazing pilot and Navy Officer...”

By Jonathan O’CallaghanHarley-Davidson is known for its big

touring bikes and iconic brand.But now the Wisconsin-based com-

pany is aiming to break new ground in

The bike was first spotted earlier this week on the set of the new Avengers

movie and has now been confirmed by Harley.

Here a stunt double for Scarlett Johans-

son is seen riding the e-bike during

filming for Aveng-ers: Age of Ultron at the World Cup

Sangam Digital Media City Express-way in Seoul, South

KoreaBORN TO BE MILD

Harley-Davidson goes electrica bold new move when it takes its first electric motorcycle, Project LiveWire, on a tour of the country beginning at an event in New York this week.

And President Matt Levatich said

he expects the company to become a leader in developing technology and standards for electric vehicles.

The announcement is seen as taking the company in an entirely new direc-

tion — they have not previously showed interest in electric bikes, instead pre-ferring to develop the iconic vehicle that has been a mainstay of American culture for nearly a century.

Harley will show handmade demon-stration models of the new e-bike at the invitation-only event on Monday, hav-ing given a sneak preview today.

The company will then take the bike down the U.S. Route 66 to thirty Har-ley-Davidson dealerships to give riders the chance to test drive the bike and provide feedback.

Harley will use the information it gathers to refine the bike, which might not hit the market for several more years.

Some see the venture as a risk for Harley because there’s currently al-most no market for full-size electric motorcycles.

The millions of two-wheeled elec-tric vehicles sold each year are almost exclusively scooters and low-powered bikes that appeal to Chinese commut-ers.

At the same time, Levatich and oth-ers involved in creating the bike pre-dicted it would sell based on perfor-mance, not environmental awareness.

With no need to shift gears, the bike can go from 0 to 60 miles (96 kilome-tres) per hour in about four seconds.

The engine is silent, but the mesh-ing of gears apparently emits a hum like a jet airplane taking off.

“Some people may get on it think-ing, ‘golf cart,’” lead engineer Jeff Richlen said.

“And they get off thinking, ‘rocket ship.’”

One hurdle the company has yet to address is the limited range offered by electric motorcycles.

The batteries must be recharged af-ter about 130 miles (210 kilometres), and that can take 30 minutes to an hour.

San Jose State University police Captain Alan Cavallo helped his de-partment buy two bikes from Zero Mo-torcycles, the current top-selling brand, and said officers have been “super happy” with the quiet, environmental-ly friendly bikes made nearby in Scotts Valley, California.

But he said American riders who like to hit the highway would likely lose patience with the technology.

“That’s the deal with the cars; you can’t jump in a Tesla and drive to LA, it won’t make it,” Cavallo said.

He added: “People want the con-venience of ‘I pull into a gas station, I pour some gas in my tank and I go.’”

‘Star Spangled Babies’ brings baby showers to military families

Military parents-to-be often live far from their extended families and sup-port systems due to deployments and frequent relocation. That’s why Opera-tion Homefront hosts approximately 30 baby showers per year at locations around the country.

The Star Spangled Babies baby shower program, is in place to build morale by providing baby showers to our service members and their growing families. In most locations, the families who participate are of deployed service members, wounded service members, and other junior and mid grade service members and their families who just need that extra support for their new arrivals.

Pay caps are pay cutsIn this year’s defense budget, administration and Pentagon leaders requested

a military pay raise of one percent. That’s 0.8 percent below private-sector pay growth, the second-lowest pay raise in 50 years, and a second consecutive year of pay caps. Like last year, Congress doesn’t see eye to eye on the military pay raise. The House rejected the administration’s pay cap in favor of a 1.8-percent raise, while the Senate supports the cap of one percent. Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) says once the military pay-cap proposals are accepted, they continue until they have wrecked readiness and retention.

Solving VA care-delay crisis too costly?The Congressional Budget Office dampened some good vibes among lawmak-

ers who rushed to solve the access-to-care crisis for veterans last week. The CBO estimates the cost of requiring the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide non-VA medical care to any enrolled veteran who cannot get a VA medical appoint-ment within 30 days, or who lives more than 40 miles from a VA medical facility, at a stunning $54 billion annually. However, despite the sticker shock, House Veterans Affair Committee Chairman, Rep. Jeff Miller (R-FL) said the he “is committed to paying for the reforms in a responsible manner that is fair to the taxpayers and to our veterans.

Navy-Marine Corps Relief SocietyToday, nearly 90 percent of the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS)

workforce is comprised of volunteers who provide financial assistance and coun-seling, quick assist loans, education assistance health education and post-combat support, advice on how to budget for a baby, emergency travel assistance, disaster relief and thrift shops for Sailors, Marines and their families.

CHARGERS REPORT

An interview withthird-round draft pick

Chris WattBy Art GarciaLooking to add depth and talent to

the offensive line, GM Tom Telesco se-lected Notre Dame’s Chris Watt in the third round of last month’s NFL Draft. Part of an offensive line that allowed just eight sacks and ranked tied for sec-ond in the FBS in fewest sacks allowed, no team in the nation allowed fewer sacks and attempted more passes than Notre Dame in ‘13. With the versatility to play both guard positions, Watt has also worked at center behind starter Nick Hardwick while attending the OTA’s (Organized Team Activities) and mini-camp over the past two months. Recently, Watt sat down with MP re-porter Art Garcia Jr. and talked about his experience going through the draft process and his goals for his rookie sea-son.

AG: So where were you when you received the call that the Chargers drafted you?

CW: I was at my home in Glen El-lynn, Illinois when I got the call. I was sitting around with my family – my mom and dad -- my brother and sister couldn’t make it unfortunately – but

with my uncle and my brother’s girl-friend, and I got the call around eleven o’clock at night Chicago time. We were sitting there watching the draft and about two picks beforehand, maybe the 87th pick, I get a phone from Tom Tele-sco and the San Diego Chargers orga-nization telling me they were going to draft me and asking how it felt to be a Charger and it was unbelievable. You kind of remember (the moment), but you’re so pumped up that you kind of forget.

AG: Did you have any idea the Char-gers were interested in you?

CW: I knew going into the process that they were one of the teams that really liked me and I really liked them too – I actually met with them at the combine when the whole organization was down there. I had a great inter-view – I love this coaching staff; the GM and Coach McCoy; and obviously a great O-Line coach in with Joey D (D’Alessandris) here – he’s great. He kind of reminds me of my coach at Notre Dame (where) he stresses the little things a lot and that’s big going into the NFL.

AG: Heading into the draft what were your expectations, where did you think you would be picked?

CW: I really didn’t have any ex-pectations, I just wanted to find a good situation for me – whether it was the third-round or the seventh-round, I just expected for myself to go in there and compete and make sure I’m ready to play.

AG: As a three-year starter at Notre Dame what do you feel your strengths are as a player and what do you bring to the Char-gers?

CW: I think the biggest thing I bring is a physi-cal mentality to every play that needs that kind of phys-icality and also I’m a

smart player. I’m a

good read and reactor type of

player and once I kind of know things I

can do them pretty effi-ciently, so I feel pretty good

about going into minicamp and

getting my feet wet a little bit and I’m looking for-

ward to these next few days and get-ting to know this offense more and more.

AG: That physical type

of play is some-

thing this

team has missed since Kris Dielman retired. I heard that your physicality is one of the things they liked about you… your thoughts?

CW: That’s pretty flattering being mentioned with Kris Diel-man, he’s someone I watched a little growing up. He was an unbelievable offensive guard and lineman – some-one that you kind of looked up to be-cause of how he played the game and you want to see that (type of play) in your game a little bit as well. There are a lot of great guys in there and a lot of great offensive linemen in there and I just want to come and contribute to this team in any way I can.

AG: Did you set any goals for your-self this rookie season?

CW: The only goals I set for myself coming in was to learn as much as I can from the veterans and just work hard – that’s really all I can ask from myself right now.

The Endzone“This is another really good foot-

ball player from Notre Dame,” NFL Network Analyst Mike Mayock said prior to the draft. “Watt teamed with Zack Martin on the left side of that of-fensive line (at Notre Dame). He’s one of the smartest and toughest offensive linemen in this draft.” Martin was the first-round pick of the Dallas Cowboys at No. 16 overall. Another Irish team-mate of Watt, defensive tackle Louis

By Brandon SacksIn the NFL, no team has caused

more of a disturbance than the Wash-ington Redskins. There has been a ma-jor discussion about the name of the franchise. The name is considered to be a belittling term for Native Americans, and there has been a push to change it to something that is less controversial. There has been a strong recommenda-tion from many different people, in-cluding some Native American Tribes and the U.S. Congress, to change the name. The problem with this is the owner of the franchise. Dan Snyder has made it very obvious that he has no in-tentions of changing the name, and he has been very adamant about that.

Earlier today, there was a serious blow to Snyder’s intentions. The U.S. Patent Office has officially cancelled the Redskins’ trademark, calling it disparaging to Native Americans. This means that the Redskins organization no longer has control over the sale of merchandise for the team; some regu-lar Joe Schmo can now sell merchan-dise with the Redskins name and logo on it without problems from the team. Some have called this revocation the beginning of the end for the name of the franchise.

Everyone that is a fan of the sport is caught up in the situation in one way or another. However, the reality of the situation is that it is absolutely ridicu-lous. Dan Snyder has made it obvious that he has zero intention to change the name, yet people are still trying to convince him to do so. This same ex-act revocation happened back in 1999 where they were denied trademarks, but the team won the appeal. You can expect the same exact series of events to transpire.

Here’s another question that is brought up by the attack on the Red-skins. Why is it not acceptable for Washington to have this name when there are other teams that have po-tential derogatory names for Native Americans. The Chicago Blackhawks, Cleveland Indians, and Atlanta Braves all are teams that have names derived from Native American culture, yet it is acceptable for them to have their names. The Indians are even referred to as the Tribe, but people decide to look past this because it’s easier to gang up on the Redskins.

The Redskins are a privately owned company, yet people want to force the owner to change the name. What about all of the state college and public high school teams that are subsidized by the federal government? The reigning BCS National Champion Florida State Sem-inoles shouldn’t be exempt from this argument. The William & Mary Tribe, who were the Indians until the mid-1980s, seem exempt from this whole debacle, yet the minute change doesn’t remove the ties to Native American culture. What about in high school?

The oldest high school in Baltimore County, Franklin High School in Reis-terstown, which has been around since 1820, is called the Indians. None of these teams receive any criticism from the general public, yet the government has the power to make these schools change their names should they be found degrading.

What is is about the mob mental-ity that causes people to want to gang up on the Redskins? There are other teams in all levels of sports that have names that could be equally offensive,

Redskins’ namedebate gettingridiculous

yet people turn a blind eye. By doing this, it only makes the arguments that are presented against Washington’s his-toric football franchise that much more laughable. In everything, you cannot judge one group without judging all

of them. People need to start using certain arguments with every single sports team, from recreational to pro-fessional, before this entire spectacle with the Redskins will change. Until then, it will remain a huge joke.

Once upon a time a beautiful, in-dependent, self assured princess hap-pened upon a frog in a pond. The frog said to the princess, “I was once a hand-some prince until an evil witch put a spell on me. One kiss from you and I will turn back into a prince and then we can marry, move into the castle with mum, and you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children and forever feel happy doing so.”

That night, while the princess dined on frogs legs, she laughed to herself and thought: Dumbest frog I ever met...

Beautiful?A lawyer was just waking up from

anesthesia after surgery, and his wife was sitting by his side. His eyes flut-tered open and he said, “You’re beauti-ful!” and then he fell asleep again. His wife had never heard him say that so

she stayed by his side.A couple of minutes later, his eyes

fluttered open and he said, “You’re cute!” Well, the wife was dissapointed because instead of “beautiful,” it was “cute.” She asked, “What happened to ‘beautiful’?” His reply was “The drugs

are wearing off!”

“They’re all named David?” he asked “What if you want them to come in from playing outside?”

“Oh, that’s easy,” she said. “I just call ‘David,’ and they all come running in.”

“And, if you want them to come to the table for dinner?”

“I just say, ‘David, come eat your dinner’,” she answered.

“But what if you just want ONE of them to do something?” he asked.

“Oh, that’s easy,” she said. “I just use their last name!”

Walks into a bar…string style

A string walks into a bar with a few friends and orders a beer. The bartend-er says, “I’m sorry, but we don’t serve strings here.” The string goes back to his table. He ties himself in a loop and messes up the top of his hair. He walks back up to the bar and orders a beer. The bartender squints at him and says, “Hey, aren’t you a string?” The string says, “Nope, I’m a frayed knot.”

Walks into a bar…talking dog

A dog walks into a bar and hops up on a stool. He looks the bartender in the eye and says, “Hey, guess what? I can talk. Have you ever seen a talking dog before? How about a drink?” The bartender thinks for a moment and says, “Sure, the toilet’s right around the corner.”

Walks into a bar…the ballerina

A good looking woman walks into a bar wearing a tube top. She raises her hand to signal the bartender for a beer, revealing that she does not shave her armpits. Meanwhile, a sloppy drunk on the other side of the bar signals the bartender, “Buy that ballerina over there a drink on me.” The bartender replies, “What makes you think she’s a ballerina?” “Because,” answers the drunken man, “any chick that can lift her leg that high has GOT to be a bal-lerina.”

A dirty double cross.

Smelly saleA woman goes into Cabela’s to buy

a rod and reel for her grandson’s birth-day. She doesn’t know which one to get, so she just grabs one and goes over to the counter.

The clerk was standing behind the counter wearing dark shades.

She says to him, “Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me anything about this rod and reel?”

He says, “Ma’am, I’m completely blind; but if you’ll drop it on the coun-ter, I can tell you everything from the sound it makes.”

She doesn’t believe him but drops it on the counter anyway...

He says, “That’s a six-foot Shake-speare graphite rod with a Zebco 404 reel and 10-pound test line. It’s a good all-around combination, and it’s on sale this week for only $20.00.”

She says, “It’s amazing that you can tell all that just by the sound of it drop-ping on the counter. I’ll take it!” As she opens her purse, her credit card drops on the floor.

“Oh, that sounds like a Master Card,” he says.

She bends down to pick it up and ac-cidentally farts.

At first she is really embarrassed, but then realizes… there is no way the blind clerk could tell it was her who tooted. Being blind, he wouldn’t know that she was the only person around?

The man rings up the sale and says, “That’ll be $34.50 please.”

The woman is totally confused by this and asks, “Didn’t you tell me the rod and reel were on sale for $20.00? How did you get $34.50?”

He replies, “Yes, ma’am. The rod and reel is $20.00, but the Duck Call is $11.00, and the Catfish Bait is $3.50.”

She paid it and left without saying a word.

If only there wastoilet paper

Little Johnny asked his teacher if he could go to the bathroom and she said yes. When he went to wipe his fanny, and there was no toilet paper so he used his hand.

When he got back to class, his Teach-er asked, “What do you have in your hand?”

Little Johnny said, “A little lepre-chaun and if I open my hand he’ll get scared away.”

He was then sent to the principals office and the Principal asked him, “What do you have in your hand?”

So, Little Johnny said, “A little lep-rechaun and if I open my hand he’ll get scared away.”

He was sent home and his Mom asked him, “What do you have in your hand?”

Little Johnny said, “A little lepre-chaun and if I open my hands he’ll get scared away.”

He was then sent to his room and told to stay there till his Dad came home. His dad came home, went up-stairs and said to Little Johnny, “What do you have in your hand?”

So again Little Johnny said, “A little leprechaun and if I open my hand he get scared away.”

Then his Dad got really mad and yelled, “Open your hand!”

Little Johnny opened his hand and said, “Look Dad you scared the crap out of him!”

Why I never made captainMany years ago on a long transatlan-

tic flight, an elderly lady asked if she could visit the cockpit.

When she got up there, she found four crewmen. She asked the first what he did, and he explained that he was

the navigator and what his responsi-bilities were.

She turned to next one and asked what he did. He explained that he was the engineer and his job was to monitor and troubleshoot any system problems to keep the flight operating smoothly.

She turned to the next one and asked what he did. He explained that as the captain he was responsible for everything on the airplane and the functioning of the crew.

She turned to the first officer and asked “Well young man, what is your job?”

He replied “Ma’am, I am the cap-tain’s cursing adviser.”

Somewhat shocked, she said “I beg your pardon, what do you mean by that?”

“Very simple ma’am. The captain has told me that when he wants my G-d advice, he’ll ask me.”

“I feel this is embarrassing because I think people will look at me as a na-ive, idiotic woman for not asking my husband about the status of his SGLI. I also do not want to paint my husband in a bad light. He was a great husband, wonderful father, and amazing pilot and Navy Officer,” she told me. “I am a very educated Navy wife and while I was very involved in my husband’s ca-reer, I did not have my hand in every facet of it. Every time we PCS’d, I left it

up to my husband to take care of all the receipts and figure out the reimburse-ments for each of the six moves we did in our 10 years of marriage. I did not sit down with him to figure that stuff out. Meanwhile, he left it up to me (mostly) to unpack the boxes and get our home life settled. We worked as a team and knew we each had a job we had to com-plete and did not micromanage each other as we did them.

Again, because I did not know that you could decline SGLI out right, I guess that was just something that nev-er popped up on my radar. I assumed it was taken care of on his end.”

Theresa has appealed the SGLI situ-ation in hopes of still being able to col-lect it because the Navy did not keep up its end of the bargain according to the regulation. She is also working with her Congressman, Ander Crenshaw, (R-Fla.), to find a fix so this never happens to anyone else again. Still, officials with the Office of SGLI told her that just because the regulation was broken doesn’t mean she can collect.

“They say that regardless that it is law that I be notified, the failure of no-tification does not affect the validity of any coverage election,” she said.

In the meantime Theresa says she

feels a lot of fear for their future. For the time being she has his $100,000 death gratuity and monthly benefits from the DoD, VA and Social Security. However, over times the payouts will decrease and she will transfer to Tri-care Retiree with its higher costs.

and arguments over Muhammad’s suc-cessors as caliph, the spiritual and tem-poral leader of Muslims during that pe-riod. The Shiites wanted the caliphate to descend through Ali, Muhammad’s son-in-law. Ali eventually became the fourth caliph, but he was murdered; Ali’s son al-Hussein was massacred with his fighters at Karbala, in what

Nix III, was selected by the Houston Texans. A projected first-round draft pick, Nix fell to the third round before he was selected No. 83 overall. When asked if he was surprised that Nix wasn’t picked earlier Watt said, “A lit-tle bit, but there are so many surprises in the draft that I guess you can’t be surprised too much anymore. I talked to him for a little bit after the draft and he was really happy with his situation and I think it’s the same thing (with me) – as long as you get into a good sit-uation where you’re happy the rest will take care of itself.” Despite finishing the ’13 season ranked 29th in total de-fense, the Chargers ranked 11th overall in points allowed (348 and 21.8/game) per Pro Football Focus. The signing of free agent Pro Bowl cornerback Bran-don Flowers in addition to the healthy return of Dwight Freeney and Melvin Ingram will hopefully improve those rankings in 2014.

Baba” element, all running rampant because they can, and where not even mosques provide a safe haven from these brutes and their bombs?”

“I wish the Americans had never come,” Baghdadi Mohammed Rejeb told veteran war correspondent Arwa Damon, a decade after the American Nakba (catastrophe). “They ruined our country. They planted divisions. They made us cry for the days of Saddam Hussein.” Wept another Iraqi woman, on that anniversary: “I lost hope six to seven months ago. You don’t feel it’s home anymore.” One after another, Iraqis all speak of the “corruption, sus-picion and tribalism” that have seeped into civil society since the invasion.

No. Iraq hasn’t suddenly “slipped back into” this backward and benight-ed state. It was bombed there by a mul-

is now Iraq. Shiites consider the later caliphs to be usurpers. The Sunnis no longer have a caliph.”

Sunnis believe Muslim leaders can be elected, or picked, from those quali-fied for the job. Shiites believe lead-ers should be direct descendants of the Prophet Muhammad. So they don’t recognize the same authority in Islam – kind of like the way Catholics and Prot-estants are all Christians and have the same Bible, but only Catholics recog-nize the authority of the pope. And like Catholics and Protestants, both Sunnis and Shiites have their own religious holidays, customs and shrines.

Q: Where do they live?A: In lots of hot-bed places. Syria is

a majority-Sunni country, but the re-gime of President Bashar al-Assad is a close ally of Shiite-dominated Iran (Assad’s Alawite sect is a whole oth-er story). Iraq is majority Shiite, but northern Iraq has a lot of Sunnis, and Sunni rebels have made increasing in-roads into the country. Neighboring Iran is majority Shiite, while next-door Saudi Arabia is majority Sunni. Yemen, Bahrain, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Lebanon have significant Shiite minor-ities. Sunnis make up about 85 percent of the world’s Muslims (including the

vast majority of U.S. Muslims). See the problem?

Q: So, if all this happened 1,400 years ago, what are they fighting about?

A: It’s a complicated question that can’t be reduced to a few sentences, but here goes:

Where once the conflict between Sunni and Shiite was religious, now the conflict is more political. In Iraq, the Shiite-dominated army has been seen as a strong-arm of Shiite president Nuri Kemal Al-Maliki and an oppressive force by majority Sunnis in the north. That’s why many have been happy to have the Sunni-dominated ISIS take over the north.

Q: Okay, but all this is tak-ing place on the other side of the world. Why should I care?

A: Because Islam is a global religion, and America has significant strategic and military interests in the region. The number of Muslims is expected to rise by 35 percent in the next 20 years, according to The Pew Research Center, to reach 2.2 billion people.
