The Whisper's Echo

I'm gonna just leave this here...

(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors or surrender accepted; (2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted; (3) It was foreseeable that circumstances would be such that a practicable and reasonable ability to accept surrender would exist; (4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and (5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

If she's nipping at Trump's ankles, I say take the muzzle off.

He'll be fine. He has all that money he stole from Medicare.

Pentagon blocks photographers from Hegseth's briefings on the Iran war The Pentagon has not permitted photographers to cover Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's last two briefings on the war in Iran, and hasn't explained the change in longstanding policy.

The big bad war-man with the vanity of a school-girl.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

Seems to me they should fear those they put in harms way more than anyone else.

I understand the sponge on a stick. I understand the poop knife. I don't understand the duck.

So do actual terrorist attacks.

Little kid is an apt description.

Cricket's revenge would be Noem being locked in a cage like a dog in the steamy swamps of south Florida.

We don't need confirmation. We need explanation.

He has the education of a second grader and the maturity of a kindergartner.

If we're just gonna label shit we don't like "-terrorism", I have one... MAGA-terrorism.

Mickey Mouse Johnson should be charged with obstruction of Congress under 18 U.S.C.

Sounds like there was little or no planning.

It's a brain-eating aomoeba desperately searching for something to eat.

Well Oz is a dick, so somewhere between the two of them...

With this level of incompetence I'm surprised we didn't accidentally bomb our own embassy... in Sweden.

Can you even have a perineum if you ARE the asshole?

Syphilis or shingles most likely but if it were up to me, flesh-eating bacteria.

It's amazing that a man who proudly posted bible verses can so easily lie.

Not gonna happen. The ChSt1 gene, (Chickenshit gene) is dominant in the Trump family line.

Gorsuch's response reminds us all of what the founders had intended. It's unfortunate that a large group of people in this country will not be able or willing to comprehend a word of it.

"Fuck the po-po! I'm cutting this bitch off."

Ossoff: "If you live in a major democracy, and the nation's spy chief is showing up at raids on sensitive election sites, something has gone wrong."

I remember what a cluster fuck the first trump administration was right out of the gate. This explains a lot.

This isn't an excuse. It's an explanation.

Or a greedy bastard.
