Paging Little Green Footballs! You're really asking for it now.

BTW, Gaborone is the capital of Botswana, isn't it? What was the South African Defence Force doing raiding the territory of an actual functioning democracy? You'd think that wouldn't exactly be a great qualification for someone who's supposed to be helping us create democracy in Iraq.

J.J.Gass: LGF has not been paged by anyone. Rather, Nathan is excercising his right of free speech, something I've heard a lot about from that quarter lately.

Nathan: When I first saw this story, I thought it was a rerun of an earlier story. So this is a new one. Interesting.

J J, they were in Botswana to attack an ANC intelligence staging post and terrorise the Botswanans into shutting down ANC operations.

And please don't forget that those people were the ones helping the U.S. build democracy in Angola, Rhodesia, Mozambique, Lesotho and of course South Africa. So why not Iraq?

Nathan: Sorry about the extra trackbacks. I added some links to my post.

I was in the Peace Corps in Botswana in the late '80s. That Gaborone assault traumatized the entire nation, which to this day is a peaceful, multiparty democracy. Fortunately, there weren't many mass-scale attacks like this afterward in Bostwana.

Branfield died as he lived, with one exception. At the end, he had US taxpayer money in his billfold.

"with one exception"

You sure the CCB wasn't on the CIA payroll? I suppose it would have been narcodollars instead of tax dollars, but whatever, presidential stamp of plausibly deniable approval and all that.

"This is our tax dollars, folks. Paying big bucks to scum of the earth willing to kill for money."

Yup. And the whole damned occupation is nothing but a willingness to kill and subjugate for reasons of political and economic power.

Whenever I hear an establishment source opine on how failure is not an option, the thought that always goes through my head is how "failure" IS THE ONLY DESIRABLE OPTION. Anything less than an abject failure (as the establishment defines the word) of the occupation will legitimize further illegal wars of aggression by demonstrating that it's possible to get away with them. Veteran Australian reporter John Pilger makes pretty much the same point, see: http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2004/03/282612.shtml

Anyone mention littlegreenfootballs? Anyone? Do you want a piece of LGF? Well do you? Do you feel lucky today? Eh punk?

Ask Miz Cramer what happens when one incurs the wrath of Charles Johnson and his lizardoid minions. It ain't pretty. So back off on criticizing our brave contractors. They are bringing freedom to the Islamofascists. Their mission is blessed by G_d.

Jheka, aka Eugene Belitsky, is one of LGF's more persistant political cyberstalkers. I am amazed that he would invoke my name in this context.

i remember that on nathan newman's first mercenary post at least half the supposedly leftists posts were actually LGF types impersonating leftists.

likewise i doubt that the jheka here is the real jheka. this is based both on the content of the post and the fact that jheka leaves an email that reveals his identity.

honestly i would not be surprised if kathryn cramer is pretending to be jheka. it seems like jheka has been harassing kathryn and this might be her way to get back.

2pik: You're lost in a hall of mirrors. Our host has our IP numbers.

katharyn cramer,

perhaps i was being overly honest. perhaps i am being overly honest again when i say that IP numbers do not mean much. one can always use a proxy or switch to another computer. in fact the fact that you mention IP numbers makes me more suspicious since it means that you have given this topic thought. even if you were not the one i seriously doubt the jheka here is the real jheka

2pik:

You more or less have it figured. The "Jheka" who posted above is the imposter. He is most likely still posting from his AOL account while I have an SBC account. I had some very strong disagreements with Cramer, which I expressed, but I never harrassed her or encouraged others to do so. In fact, I told some trolls on her blog to stop harrassing her and she thanked me for my help. This was before her heightened sense of victimhood took over and she decided to publish my personal information on her blog (asking people to harrass me), leading to anti-semitic hate mail, harrassment and one or more of her readers defrauding dozens of organizations by ordering products and services in my name.

Cramer can't seem to figure any of this out and therefore persists in attacking me. You want to check out my views, do a search for my many posts at LGF (there is only 1 Jheka there and, since AOL accounts are banned, the imposter doesn't post there). You'll see that I just don't do the "raving lunatic" schtick.

Mainly I wrote to point out that, yet again, the "jheka" posting above is an impersonator.

I see exactly how well things are going in South Africa these days. Mrs.Mandella's torture squads are out of business, that will make thing s better.
Unemployment is at an all time high, well done leftists! And of course AIDS is out of control, obviously the fault of George Bush and only George Bush.. Rape is about 35% or so for all women. Certainly not an abuse or the NY Times would have covered it, right??? I can only guess, it would also be the fault of George Bush.
The economy is in shambles, to keep things level, blame Bush. I like consistancy.
The UN has, like America spent billions for nothing. They are no better off today than they were 30 years ago. But Blame bush...

Nathan:

Comment #18 is from my stalker, who has been spamming blogs with that message for some reason. If you happen to see this , please delete it as well as comment #8 which, obviously, is from the same loser.
