POPSLanny Davis: "We were wrong" Thank You, Lannie. It is great to see there are still stand-up people on the left. From article: "Maybe another democracy, however imperfect, other than Israel in the Middle East could lead to more moderation, possibly other democracies? Democracies that could serve as bulwarks against al Qaeda-type of terrorist states?" "And then in early 2007 came the Surge, which so many of us in the anti-war left of the Democratic Party predicted would be a failure, throwing good men and women and billions of dollars after futility. We were wrong." "The surge did, in fact, lead to a reduction of violence, confirmed by media on the ground as well as our military leaders."

POPSMullen Presents Medals For Valor To 12 Paratroopers In Afghanistan
“We spotted an enemy scout and eventually made contact, but he was able to our location to other fighters in the valley,” Ambrosia said. Ambrosia’s element had a translator monitoring the enemy communication with a basic one-way radio. The interpreter continued to monitor the radio, and Ambrosia learned that the scout was coordinating with other enemy fighters in the area to launch an attack. Soon there were at least three enemy elements with three to five fighters each closing in on the platoon. So close, in fact, they were in hand-grenade range of his troops, he said. “At one point, I started calling the vehicles in the valley to start shooting on our position, because the enemy was too close to call in artillery or mortar fire.” Enemy radio traffic intercepted by Ambrosia’s interpreter let the paratroopers know the insurgents planned to overrun their position and take them hostage, but they were able to repel the attack, he said.............

POPSWar Photographer "Disembedded The Marine commanders who saw the photograph were not happy, saying it violated a "trust" between the military and journalists. The reason the Marines gave--that Zoriah had "provided the enemy with specific information on the effectiveness of the attack and the response of U.S. and Iraqi forces to the attack"--was nonsense. Now, I don't like seeing dead Americans at all. But if the country is going to fight a war, then the population needs to see the cost. What's next? Should we also ban combat-wounded paraplegics, amputees, and burn victims from going out in public after they return home? Is it just too shocking? Would not banning them from public allow the terrorists to achieve a victory on our own soil by inflicting dangerously low morale on the American public? Would it help al Qaeda with their battle damage assessments? And we certainly don't want the kids to see that kind of stuff--like Purple Heart awardees walking around without body parts.

POPSTesla Purple Plates for Healing
The plates are made of aluminum, which is first anodized (electrolytic oxidation) and then colored. The spin of the atoms and electrons of the aluminum is thus changed in such a way, that the plates are said to vibrate in resonance with the fundamental energy (Chi, Prana, Orgon) of the universe. The plates were developped by Ralph Bergstresser after a patent and from the knowledge / information and ideas of Nikola Tesla, with whom he worked for a certain time. With anodizing, the field of the plates is changed and interacts with tachyons. The surface of the plates has a crystal-structure. Their chemical composition is the same as that of rubies and sapphires, which also consist of aluminum oxide. We know that rubies give energy and thus were called "life-stones" in the Middle-Ages. The plates offered here have been further developed.Nikola Tesla himself used similar plates in several patents and called them antennas for free energy. They are said to transfer information from the
