Mountains from molehills
The other day I wrote about Brandon Neeley, a former guard at Guantanamo and currently the President of the Houston chapter of the Iraq Veterans Against the War (probably because he ate the previous president) who has come out to tell us how he’s ashamed of his conduct and what he was forced to do at the tropical resort we built for terrorists in retirement.
Like I wrote before, nothing in his testimony rises to the level of an atrocity in any shape of form. But that didn’t stop Rachel Maddow from interviewing him on her absolute waste of a cable show. I found a video of that show but I have to warn you – out of a nine minute video, you have to sit through 3 minutes of MadCow’s blather and BDS. The six minutes that follow are of Neeley describing two events at Guantanamo. One story was of him slamming a prisoner to the concrete floor when he tried to resist when Neeley removed his cuffs. The story leaves the viewer wondering what the problem was.
The second story is of a medic trying to force feed a can of Ensure to a detainee and then punching him in the face. I can’t imagine any medic doing that, but even if it did happen, so what? And why didn’t Neeley report the incident when it happened instead of half-a-decade later when the cameras are turned on?
MadCow then tries to get Neeley to blame the Bush Administration for not giving the troops in Guantanamo adequate training and Neeley agrees with her. I’m pretty sure some of our commenters who were there will dispute that.
Anyway, here’s the video below the jump;

Ok, so I’m going to write this…and no one is going to take me seriously. But honestly, this is the truth. The information comes from one of the secret service officers assigned to guard Biden.
While in Delaware, preparing for a function before the election, they had to stop and look for Biden’s…EAR.
Yes, he has a fake ear. I know, not too news worthy with everything else going on in the world today. But still hilarious. Why is no one reporting on this??
First off, training the military isn’t the Presient’s responsibility.
Secondly, I know when I was on my way to Gitmo, the Army trainers we had went through every worst-case scenario in the book. Attempted suicides, general bad behavior, full-out riots…we got it all.
And most of us were fortunate to use…very little of it.
If given the choice between being under-and overtrained, the latter wins.
The fake ear story is WAY WAY WAY more interesting to me than Neeley’s story.
He really doesn’t have much to talk about here does he? Better beef up on your atrocities bud if you want to hang with the big dogs like Adam “Trophy Pictures” Kokesh and Jason “Mk19 on the Old Bats” Washburn.
Biden has a fake ear, huh? Does he pretend to listen to Obama with it? I would.
IVAW = liars and traitors with a busted ego. The only way they could become hero’s was to buy medals from the surplus store. Any member of that liars club would kill they’re entire family to get their name in the news.
I dont think you all understand. I dont have the power/insight to get this Ear issue to the media. Someone here has to know someone in the media pool that could bring this up and to the front of the public eye!
Jonn wrote: How is this an “issue”? Now if you bring me a picture of Biden at a meeting with “Gay Witches for Abortion”, that’s an “issue”. A fake ear isn’t even a curiosity. Well, to me.
Wow, he was only released last year? THeres no way you could get that fat in 365 days… I mean his neck is actually pushing against his chin and causing a crease!
I know this guy is a huge piece of shiat…but I’m curious. He said he was positioned so that the guard TOWER couldnt see what was going on. If the tower is higher then 3 feet off the ground, as long as the soldier is at least 4 feet tall, woudlnt that mean they could see over this tubbo?? I dont see how standing in line would block the sight form someone in the air, in a tower..
The AP atricle on this tard says he is a “Houston area law enforcement officer.” That could mean a security guard, but if he is a cop, I would hate to be his partner. Imagine using reasonable force on a suspect and then having this fat fuck help the defendant saying that you were abusive. Not a man I would trust. And I wonder, in his BI, did he tell his investigator that he partcipated in “abuse” against those under his care or custordy? Also, did he fill out a 2823 after his use of force? How about when he wittnessed the “assault” by the medic? I just read Gordon Cucullu’s book Inside GITMO and he wrote about how restrained and frankly, how naive the medics were. From my experience at a little slice of heaven called Abu Ghraib, this is the case. The medics were a nightmare for soldier safety and were WAY too trusting of the detainees. I can not imagine a medic punchig a detainee. Does not add up.
What a pussy this twit is! He needs to go back to his mama and suckle.
Jonn wrote: Yeah, as far as I can tell from searching for him, he does live with his Mom. I think he’s a CO, too. It’d be interesting to know if he’s as sympathetic to his current charges as he was to those in Guantanamo.
Ok Jonn, if the ear doesn’t grab you…how about this.
Biden was arrested and charged with embezzlement back in the day, but had his record expunged. Seems he was involved with an organization that trained vet’s to get their cdl’s. The old chief of police in Wilmington is the one that arrested him.
That exciting enough for you?
You know, if memory serves, you guys were pretty tough on picking on other peope when they picked on the weight of conservative bloggers. Why is it okay to do it on IVAW bloggers? How about sticking to the issues, not people’s personal characteristics? I could point out a lot of heavy conservative bloggers, but I don’t, because it’s irrelevant.
Jonn wrote: You mean like when DeWald when picking on women? Is that what you’re talking about? You’re going to use deWald as a defense? Really?
If you read the entire post, you’ll notice it mostly “sticks to issues” but, in your usual nit-picking way, YOU’RE the one avoiding the main issue by focusing on the minutiae and ancillary BS.
A/S said: “How about sticking to the issues, not people’s personal characteristics?”
Okay- He is a coward, and has sold out the U.S. Military, for no better reason than to get a few minutes of limelight. Is calling him a POS attacking his personal characteristics? He is a “Startimer”, a legend in his own mind, who claims to have been privy to misconduct by our military, and didn’t have enough weight in his scrotum to come forward promptly,the proper time,and defend the name of our services. To bring it up now does nothing to eradicate the problem, only to advance his cause. Typical of the IVAW, the unit and its members.
nuf sed
A/S-because he’s wrong for the military. How on earth can someone who was supposedly a soldier a little over a year or so ago be so amazingly obese? As a member of the army, I took pride in how I looked in and out of uniform. I was taught how to stay in shape. I believe my creed has me saying that I am mentally tough, physically strong and morally straight. I guess that’s a real soldier thing though, as an Infantryman.
Your roley poley puss of a man is a black stain on the record of the Army. He was too weak mentally and physically to do his job if all these atrocities were going on. And if they didn’t happen, then he lacks the moral fiber to say the right thing.
So which would you prefer to admit…he’s a liar and it didn’t happen, or he was a sloppy bastard who didn’t stop ot when it did happen?
As a former soldier, I find this POS repulsive, why didn’t he come forward when he witnessed these “atrocities”? As a retired LEO, I wouldn’t get into a cruiser with this douche. If you can’t trust the guy/gal riding with you, or coming to back you up, what good is he? None!!! If dispatch sent him to back me on a call, I’d tell them to disregard him, or send someone else.
If you have no integrity, you’re worthless. I wonder if the guys and gals he works with now have ANY idea what a POS he is.
