Jessica Lynch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jessica Dawn Lynch (born April 26, 1983) is a former United States Army soldier who served in the 2003 invasion of Iraq by U.S. and allied forces. On March 23, 2003, Private First Class Lynch was serving as a unit supply specialist with the 507th Maintenance Company when her convoy was ambushed by Iraqi forces during the Battle of Nasiriyah. Lynch was seriously injured. Her subsequent recovery by U.S. Special Operations Forces on April 1, 2003
Hospital retrieval
On April 1, 2003, U.S. Marines from 2nd Battalion 8th Marines and 1st Battalion, 2nd Marines, as well as members from the Navy SEALs under the command of the U.S. Army, staged a diversionary attack, besieging nearby Iraqi irregulars to draw them away from Saddam Hospital in Nasiriyah. Meanwhile, an element from the Joint Special Operations Task Force 121 composed of U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Berets), Air Force Pararescuemen (PJs), Army Rangers, and Delta Force launched a nighttime raid on the hospital, and successfully retrieved Lynch and the bodies of eight other American soldiers.
According to certain accounts of doctors present during the raid, they were gathered into groups at gunpoint and treated as possible hostiles until they could be identified as being hospital staff. Many military and Special Operations Forces experts have defended the tactics of the operators who led the raid, saying that Special Operations Forces teams are trained to expect the worst and move quickly, initially treating each person they encounter as a possible threat. Additionally, the doctors stated that the Iraqi military had left the hospital the day before, and that no one in the hospital had offered any resistance to the American forces during the raid.
One witness account claimed that the Special Operations Forces had foreknowledge that the Iraqi military had fled a day before they raided the hospital, and that the entire event was staged, even going so far as to use blanks to create the appearance that they were firing. The use of blanks was disputed by weapons experts who pointed out that there was no sign of blank adapters being used on the weapons of those who appeared in the video of the raid.

The Russians in MiG Alley
FEBRUARY 1991
BY STEVEN J. ZALOGA
The nationality of the "honcho" pilots is no longer a mystery. The Soviets now admit their part in the Korean War.
For some forty years, suspicions have lingered about the nationality of certain pilots who flew MiG-15s in the Korean War. China long ago confessed the role of its pilots. There also were reports, never confirmed, that the best Communist pilots were in fact from the Soviet Union.
Soviet veterans finally have begun to acknowledge their participation in Korean dogfights, confirming the identity of the mystery pilots who, to Air Force flyers, were known only as "honchos." Soviet involvement in the Korean War is no longer a state secret; since 1989, the truth has poured forth.
Revelations in the Soviet press make it clear that Soviet participation in the war was far more extensive than anyone had imagined. Until now, the assumption was that individual Soviet "volunteer" pilots took part. The new information establishes that Soviet pilots were involved in a large fraction of all MiG-15 battles against US fighters.
The small North Korean Air Force used in the June 1950 invasion had no jets. Its tactical airpower came from a regiment of seventy-eight Yak-9U piston-engine fighters and a regiment of seventy Il-10 piston-engine attack planes. Flown by inexperienced pilots, these planes were quickly decimated by US aircraft.
The United Nations force's successful repulse of North Korean forces led to consultations between Beijing and Moscow over future plans to aid Pyongyang. On October 1, North Korean Dictator Kim II Sung urged China's Mao Zedong to throw the weight of the Chinese Army into the war. Mao agreed and sought Soviet aid. For Joseph Stalin, however, the vigor of the US response to the invasion came as an unpleasant surprise.
He had once promised Mao that the USSR would handle the air war. By October 10, he had reconsidered. As recent Soviet accounts reveal, he was fearful of US strategic airpower and wished to avoid giving a pretext for a nuclear attack on Russia. Indeed, Stalin ordered Soviet advisors to leave North Korean divisions for fear some might be captured and reveal Soviet complicity. Stalin therefore reneged on his pledge, but he offered to give China more MiG-15s and to provide limited direct air support. As a first step, Moscow deployed several regiments of new MiG-15s to the Far East. Soviet air units did go into combat, but because most of the recent Soviet revelations about this activity come from pilots rather than military leaders, we still know little about high-level planning for this intervention. It seems likely that Stalin thought the presence of Soviet aircrews could be kept secret.
The First MiG-15s Arrive
The first combat patrols of the fighters in the Korean theater came in November. For American aircrews, arrival of the sleek new MiG-15 was a shock. That was true even though MiG-15s had been in action in the Far East months earlier. In April 1950, they first appeared over Shanghai, thwarting a Nationalist Chinese bomb campaign. They were flown by Soviet pilots. The fighting over Shanghai was not widely reported. Intelligence failed to note the presence of MiGs.
Air units selected for Korean deployment did not come primarily from Frontal Aviation, the tactical arm of the regular Soviet Air Forces. Rather, most came from interceptor regiments of the Air Defense Forces, or PVO, which was then on its way to becoming a separate service branch.
Until 1950, no MiG-15 interceptor regiments were stationed in the Far East. They were concentrated in the Moscow Air Defense District to protect the capital against US bomber attack. As a result, the squadrons earmarked for Korea were drawn from elite units. The first large Soviet aviation unit sent to Korea was an air defense interceptor division commanded by Col. Ivan Kozhedub, who, with sixty-two victories, was the top Soviet ace of World War II. Due to the pilot's celebrity status, Stalin personally ordered Colonel Kozhedub not to fly combat missions. The division's lead elements left Moscow in mid-November. At that time, a MiG-15 interceptor regiment numbered thirty-five to forty aircraft, and a division usually included three regiments.
Soviet MiG-15 regiments were based on Chinese fields in Manchuria. Many Soviet regiments underwent preliminary training at Soviet bases in the neighboring Maritime Military District.
The first USAF contact with MiG-15s occurred in November 1950. Soviet pilots showed scant interest in pushing their attacks, but Air Force pilots unexpectedly found themselves facing a formidable opponent. The MiG-15 was technologically superior to US F-80 and F-84 jet fighters, and it had a few advantages over the newer F-86, especially at higher altitudes.
In the war's first winter, however, the MiG-15 units failed to have a decisive impact on the air conflict. This was largely due to the inexperience of Soviet pilots, who only recently had converted from La-11 propeller-driven fighters to jet aircraft. A US F-86 Sabre pilot scored
the first kill of a MiG-15 on December 17, 1950.

Prize share: 1/2
Work
Terpenes are a large and varied group of substances that range from rubber and the solvent turpentine to the cholesterol in our blood. Leopold Ruzicka studied fragrances in perfumes and became interested in how they were related to other substances. In the mid-1920s he came to the conclusion that the substances were composed of the same building block, terpene isoprene. By manipulating cholesterol molecules, Leopold Ruzicka succeeded in producing the male sex hormone androsterone and later demonstrated that testosterone also could be produced from cholesterol.

What damage did Anthony Blunt's spy ring do to Britain?
00:00, 24 JUL 2009 UPDATED 16:02, 28 JAN 2012
BY MIRROR.CO.UK
Blunt, Burgess, Maclean, Philby, Cairncross... they are five typically British names.
It could almost be the first line in one of those Monty Python sketches set in an English public school.
But these were the names of the men who formed the Cambridge Spy Ring - five young men who were at the university together in the 1930s.
In addition to gadding about in dinner jackets, drinking too much champagne and generally behaving like characters from Brideshead Revisited, these young men found time to develop left-wing sympathies that brought them to the attention of Soviet intelligence recruiters.
And, unfortunately for us, they all went on to greater things later in life.
Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean, who worked for the Foreign Office, did a bunk to the Soviet Union when they were fingered by a defector in 1951.
Kim Philby, who was extraordinarily a senior figure in MI6, bluffed it out until 1961 when he too had to do a moonlight flit to Moscow.
The fourth man, Anthony Blunt, had his cover blown in 1964 but in return for not being publicly exposed, he co-operated with his interrogators.
He was even able to continue as Surveyor of the Queen's Pictures - but rumour has it the late Queen Mother would have nothing to do with him.
Mrs Thatcher exposed the deal on coming to power in 1979. Blunt was stripped of his knighthood and disgraced. He was booed at a cinema in Notting Hill and his boyfriend was so distraught he tried to kill himself.
It was at this time that Blunt put his thoughts down on paper - and his memoirs were released yesterday.
The 30,000-word manuscript was lodged in the British Library in 1984 - shortly after Blunt's death - on condition that it should remain sealed for 25 years.
In it, he tells how he was lured into the spy ring by the flamboyantly homosexual Guy Burgess, whom he met at Cambridge in 1931. Blunt was also homosexual but denied any relationship with Burgess.
His memoirs reveal he didn't initially take to the younger man but he was soon won over, and became caught up in Burgess's enthusiasm for left-wing politics, which had gained an "almost religious quality" among students.
In 1935 or 1936, Burgess was recruited by Stalin's Comintern with orders to "go underground". And he asked his friend to join him.
"I was faced with the most important decision of my life," Blunt wrote.
"The atmosphere in Cambridge was so intense, the enthusiasm for any antifascist activity so great, that I made the biggest mistake of my life." The manuscript says nothing of his spying for the NKVD - forerunner of the KGB - during the Second World War when he was working for MI5.
He strongly denied lurid tales of his time sharing a house with Burgess in London's Bentinck Street, and dismisses reports that it was an "alternation of sexual orgies and conspiratorial conversations designed to hinder the war effort". We should not excuse Blunt or any of his fellow travellers.
They were traitors, full stop. But attitudes to communism were different. We tend now to view the Bolshevik Revolution as a terrible mistake. It was the moment the gangsters - the people who murdered poor old Tsar Nicholas II and his glamorous young family - took over and held ruthlessly onto power until the arrival of Mikhail Gorbachev 70 years later.
But for many, the Revolution meant the overthrow of the old corrupt order and an opportunity for ordinary people to have better lives.
And by 1941, with the Americans hesitating about entering the war and the UK on its beam ends, the only country who looked in with a chance of defeating Hitler was Soviet Russia.
All the Cambridge spies caused damage to their country.
Maclean as a diplomat in wartime Washington was privy to private messages between top Americans and Winston Churchill.
The information may well have helped Stalin play hardball at Yalta.
Blunt, or "Johnson" as his Russian handlers codenamed him, became an officer in the Security Service (MI5) at the beginning of the war.
He was on the distribution list of the most secret British Intelligence ULTRA (the codebreaking portrayed in the book and film Enigma).
A key question is how useful was their treachery to the Soviets? The answer is mixed and complicated. Yes, Maclean's information on Anglo-American plans and intentions was useful to Stalin.
But given the power and geograph-icaposition of the Red Army at the end of the war the western allies did not have many cards to play.
Poland could not have been rescued from the Iron Curtain, however hard we tried.
Philby's contribution was more poisonous. He betrayed the names of as many British agents as he could, including lists of all those who had spied for us in Nazi-occupied eastern Europe.
As communist regimes took over in the late 1940s most of these brave men and women who had fought were tortured and shot by the KGB and their local henchmen.
Ironically, Soviet intelligence never fully trusted the Cambridge ring and could never quite believe their luck.
That Philby, a young undergraduate recruited on the off-chance at Cambridge in the 1930s, should join MI6 and then after the war become Head of the Counter-Soviet Section seemed to them too good to be true.
But they never fully exploited their intelligence windfall.
As for the Cambridge spies themselves, they all died unhappy and broken men.
Read Anthony Blunt's anguish and despair at his public disgrace.
In the end he understood - doing the dirty on your country can never be justified and it never pays.
Guy Burgess
Codename: Hicks Born in 1911, he influenced Maclean and Blunt to betray their country.

Dwight D. Eisenhower
XXXIV President of the United States: 1953 - 1961
175 - Citation Accompanying Medal of Honor Awarded to Private First Class Robert E. Simanek.
August 20, 1953
THE PRESIDENT of the United States in the name of The Congress takes pleasure in presenting the Medal of Honor to
PRIVATE FIRST CLASS ROBERT E. SIMANEK,
UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS,
for service as set forth in the following
CITATION:
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving with Company F, Second Battalion, Fifth Marines, First Marine Division (Reinforced), in action against enemy aggressor forces in Korea on 17 August 1952. While accompanying a patrol en route to occupy a combat outpost forward of friendly lines, Private First Class Simanek exhibited a high degree of courage and a resolute spirit of self-sacrifice in protecting the lives of his fellow Marines. With his unit ambushed by an intense concentration of enemy mortar and small-arms fire, and suffering heavy casualties, he was forced to seek cover with the remaining members of the patrol in a near-by trench line. Determined to save his comrades when a hostile grenade was hurled into their midst, he unhesitatingly threw himself on the deadly missile, absorbing the shattering violence of the exploding charge in his own body and shielding his fellow Marines from serious injury or death. Gravely wounded as a result of his heroic action, Private First Class Simanek, by his daring initiative and great personal valor in the face of almost certain death, served to inspire all who observed him and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.

Condoleezza Rice, one of US president George Bush's most trusted lieutenants and a strong advocate of the invasion of Iraq, admits that the intelligence that said Iraq had WMDs may have been wrong. "What we have is evidence that there are differences between what we knew going in and what we found on the ground," she tells CBS News.

XLIV President of the United States: 2009 - present
805 - Remarks at a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Fundraiser in Medina, Washington
November 24, 2013
Thank you, guys. Sit down. You already did that. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. Have a seat. Have a seat.
Well, first of all, let me just thank Jon for the second time for his incredible hospitality. And I think it's fair to say that between Nancy and me and Steve Israel, we do a lot of events. I will say that this particular space is one of the more spectacular venues for an event. And we couldn't have a more gracious host. The only problem when I come to Jon's house is, I want to just kind of roam around and check stuff out, and instead, I've got to talk. [Laughter] But, Jon, thank you for your friendship. We're very grateful.
A few other people I want to acknowledge. First of all, our once Speaker and soon to be Speaker again, Nancy Pelosi. We are thrilled to be with her. Someone who has an incredibly thankless job, but does it with energy and wisdom—and I was going to say joy, but I'm not, I don't want to, kind of, overdo it—[laughter]—but is doing an outstanding job: Steve Israel, who is heading up the DCCC. Thank you so much, Steve, for the great job that you're doing.
We've got some outstanding Members of Congress here. Congressman Rick Larsen is here. Where's Rick? There he is.

The Choice 2000
PETER BOYER: George W. made his way at Andover, but not in the fashion that Senator Prescott Bush or George Herbert Walker Bush might have imagined. He did not become senior class president or a star baseball player like his father, but he did discover his own persona: a cheerleader with an antic streak.

Is george bush gay
Other Answers
George W Bush is gay.
He had male prostitute James Guckert visit the White House over 200 times while president between 2003 and 2005.
Bush had a number of bisexual relations with Victor Ashe in 1984 and subsequently made Ashe ambassador to Poland.
Bush's alleged homosexuality in college was hinted at in Kitty Kelley's massive biography of the Bush family, The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty, which was released at about the same time as CBS 60 Minutes was investigating Bush's National Guard stint. In the case of Kelley's book and the gay charge, the criticism came not from the GOP operatives but from their allies in the corporate media, including the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz, who is married to a GOP operative. While Bush attended all-boys Andover prep school (nicknamed "bend over"), Bush, not able to make it as an athlete, instead became a male cheerleader. At Yale, Bush, according to Kelley, had a "special relationship" (i.e., gay relationship) with Victor Ashe, his room mate and fellow cheerleader. Ashe, a former Mayor of Knoxville, is now Bush's ambassador to Poland. At the Delta Kappa Epsilon frat house, Bush became known as "a jock sniffer."
