Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
The Bald Yemeni's convoluted logic, perverted sense of justice and fair play
Saturday, September 13, 2008
Look, people have called him Potato Head or sometimes Spud Head, they are bad and nasty. I am just stating facts that he is bald and his ancestry is Yemeni, I have actually combined his greater characterics to call him that. You know, if I was to use his full name, it would take up alot of space.
Anyway,I will refer to him as Baldy, you do not know who I am talking about? The guy who blabbers and blurts during the BBC interview after the Hindraf rally, the great (drum roll, trumpets blaring) one and only Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar (more drum roll)!
You can see him blustering, observe and hear his convoluted logic here, below in this video clip:
I took the liberty of copying this from Malaysiakini. I intend to do so until Teresa Kok is released. Normally I would only take short extracts from Malaysiakini attributing the source, as it is a an outfit that survives on subscription.
Okay, notice this, Masjid Kota Damansara's Secretary of the three-week-old mosque Ahmad Redzuan Samsudin said a police report was lodged on Wednesday against former Selangor Menteri Besar Dr Mohd Khir Toyo for claiming pressure from non-Muslims and a state exco-backed petition had forced them to stop making the azan through the loudspeaker. Against who? The former MB of Selangor, a first generation Indon Malaysian.
For what? For claiming pressure from non-Muslims and a state exco-backed petition had forced them to stop making the azan through the loudspeaker.“There was no pressure from non-Muslims,” said Redzuan. He further added “Last Saturday (Aug 30), lightning during a thunderstorm had struck and damaged the PA system. Thereafter, we borrowed equipment from the SMK Kota Damansara in Section 10, but problems with the wiring further delayed us from sounding the azans through the loudspeaker." From Malaysiakini. That Toyo, was an "Act of God", a favourite quote of your former colleague, Sam. Teresa Kok was not in the picture at all.
The police report, lodged by mosque head Hassan Basri alias Basri Mohd at the Kota Damansara police station, quotes the latter as saying: “I see all of this as slander and an attempt to give rise to prejudice among the various races in Kota Damansara, an act of provocation to divide the community.” The culprits who are still breathing free air are Toyol oops Toyo and Utusan Malaysia, which happens to be the propaganda organ of UMNO, not that organ. If action should be taken, the person who should be the target should be Khir Toyo as well as the editorial staff of Utusan which is one helluva of a rabid, diseased paper.
The joke is Baldy denies that he did not order the arrests of the three people under the Internal Security Act (ISA. He said the action was taken by the police themselves under Section 73(1) based on their assessment of the current situation as they had “strong and good reason” to believe that conflict could happen and public order could be jeopardised. “Under this action, the police need not refer to me. It’s their discretion and their assessment of what happened. There has been no malice on their part,” he said Saturday at a press conference at Bukit Aman here. Ha, ha, ha, no malice on their part? What is Toyol, oops Toyo doing breathing the free air, how about the scumbags at Utusan who have been continously inciting? You Baldy are the Boss, you can tell them to take a hike!
This is his pathetic excuse,"I am a minister. I am a politician. If I start to interfere, then people will say I have a political motive. It will send the wrong signals. I cannot interfere. This has to be done in accordance with the police exercise of their powers.” He further added that the police had taken strong notice that there was concern on the ground among the public who felt not so safe. Dear Baldy, tell the truth and shame the devil, September 16th is approaching and you are losing sleep. If you cannot manage the Police Force, quit and allow someone who is more competent, maybe like Azmin Ali, to handle it. You are trying, together with Toyo to incite a Public Order situation, so that a state of Emergency can be declared. So that Sepetember 16th does not happen. Dream on man. When it happens, your sorry arse will become a Saiful. Yeah, one more thing, Baldy, why is there no show cause letter given to the racist garbage Utusan? Are you thinking like them?
On the great Raja Petra, I mean the really Great Pete, the guy with cojones of steel. He should be charged in court if he had contravened any laws of the land, affording him the opportunity to defend himself in an open trial. The detention-without-trial ISA should not be used against RPK, as it is not only undemocratic and repressive but a clear case of abuse of power. I and many others will of course cheer him on during his trials, watching like hawks to see you all screw up.
The latest, Sin Chew reporter released. Warm hugs from her anxious family members and friends saw Tan Hoon Cheng almost breaking down in tears as she returned home in Taman Alma, here at about 4.15pm Saturday.The 33-year-old Sin Chew Daily reporter, who was detained Friday under the Internal Security Act (ISA), was released in less than 24 hours. She was all smiles as she spoke to her family and friends for a mere 20 minutes before heading to stay at a friend’s house to avoid the media.
