Carlos Gil Orozco wasn’t a great student, but one goal pushed him to hit the books: becoming a Marine.
"He was kind of a troublemaker, you know, he got bad grades and wouldn't do his homework," said his sister, Myriam Johanna Gil Orozco. "But he wanted to be a Marine. So he studied real hard, especially algebra. He'd stay up all night studying.
Cpl. Orozco's parents moved the family from Colombia to the U.S. when he was 8 years old, hoping to give their children a better education. They became frustrated when their son didn't do well in school and thought the Marines would be good for him.
"My dad was actually happy," Myriam said. "He'd rather have him be a Marine than out on the streets being in gangs or doing drugs."
Cpl. Carlos Orozco was killed while conducting combat operations in Ashraf, Iraq when the tank he was riding in encountered an IED. Also killed in the blast was Lance Cpl. Jon T. Hicks Jr. of Atco, New Jersey.
Cpl. Orozco leaves behind his sister, his parents, his wife and two sons.

U.S. to Suspend Gitmo Detainee Transfers to Yemen
Posted @ 6:15 PM by
The U.S. will not transfer any detainees from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to Yemen right now, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Tuesday. Well, it's step towards the right direction. Now, stop with this asinine closure of GITMO and keep these people where they need to be.

The Next Hotbed
Posted @ 9:25 AM by
TimesOnline is reporting that at least a dozen freed detainees from GITMO have made their way to al-Qaeda in Yemen.
The US Government issued figures in May showing that 74 of the 530 detainees in Guantánamo were suspected or known to have returned to terrorist activity since their release. They included the commander of the Taleban in Helmand province, Mullah Zakir, whom the British Chief of the Defence Staff, Sir Jock Stirrup, called “a key and seemingly effective tactical leader”. Among others who returned to terrorism was Abdullah Saleh al-Ajmi, a Kuwaiti who killed six Iraqis in Mosul in 2008.GITMO is where they need to be. Plain and simple.
The number believed to have “returned to the fight” in the May 2009 estimate was double that of a US estimate from June 2008. US officials acknowledged that more detainees were known to have reoffended since, but the number has been classified.

Tomorrow Is Today
Posted @ 6:44 PM by
So it's 2010. This, my friends, is officially the future. When people talked of the future, this is when they were talking about. So I'm wondering where all the cool stuff they promised us is. Where are the flying cars? Where is my robot maid? Where's my personal jetpack? Where is my communication device that let's me see and talk to people all over the world? Oh. Well, one out four is a start.

Rush Limbaugh In The Hospital
Posted @ 10:49 AM by
Rush Limbaugh was rushed to a Hawaiian hospital on Wednesday with chest pains and was said to be in "serious condition". Here's some of the vile things I've seen on Twitter about this:
I hope Rush Limbaugh dies. I really do and I don't feel even the slightest bit bad for saying it.
Dear 2009: you have approximately 23.5 hours left to not suck, so sack up and LET RUSH LIMBAUGH DIE.
No one wants Rush Limbaugh to die. But they do want his doctors to fail.

That's just a small sample.

That's How You Win A War On Terror

Sending GITMO detainees to Yemen, a country that's looking like the the next front in this war. Yeah, that's smart. I honestly don't think Obama has any idea what to do. Hell, he never did. The man is an epic failure, and we still three more damn years of him.
