(Giggady) `O.W.S. is a Quagmire!` What a Great Post by Gateway Pundit! (Update: 7 Dead So far)

This is with thanks to Gateway Pundit... what a great post!

Confirmed. The Odds of You Surviving a Tour in Iraq Is Greater Than Your Odds of Surviving a Night in Pup Tent at an Occupy Protest

Thanks to the successful Bush Surge in 2007-2008, that Obama and democrats opposed, the number of US fatalities in Iraq has gone from over 100 a month down to a handful or less a month.

In October 5 heroes were killed while serving their country in Iraq.
In September 3 heroes were killed while serving their country in Iraq.

Gateway Continues:

Currently, 45,000 U.S. troops are stationed in Iraq.

Last month there were 2,000?… 3,000?… Possibly 5,000 far left protesters setting up Occupy squatter camps in city parks across the country. In the 10 days at least 4 of these protesters were found dead in pup tents.

Police say one person died at the Vancouver Occupy tent city on Saturday. (The Province)

From these figures we can confirm that your odds of surviving a tour in Iraq is now greater than the odds of you surviving a night in a pup tent at an Occupy protest.

It’s a quagmire.

Occupy Oakland ~ After Smashing Wells Fargo Bank Windows ~ Deposits $20,000 With Them

Why this is important (transfer money day):

 

San Jose Mercury News:

Occupy Oakland has voted to deposit $20,000 with Wells Fargo Bank — just days after Occupy protesters shattered windows of one of the bank’s downtown Oakland branches during the group’s attempt to stage a general strike in the embattled East Bay city.

Some members of the assembly, during the meeting, raised concerns about using Wells Fargo for the group’s bank.

“I understand that people aren’t comfortable with that, but this is a time sensitive issue,” one of the leaders of the general assembly stated, according to the minutes.

Occupy Oakland has pilloried Chase Bank, Citibank, Bank of America, Wells Fargo Bank and other major American financial companies for triggering some of the nation’s economic ailments.

“It takes time to transfer funds to a credit union,” one of the general assembly members stated, according to the minutes posted on the website. “We need to help people in jail now.”

First `Video` of Asteroid 2005 YU55 [6-frames]

Published by Papa Giorgio

From Whats Up With That:

Scientists working with the 230-foot-wide (70-meter) Deep Space Network antenna at Goldstone, Calif., have generated a short movie clip of asteroid 2005 YU55. The images were generated from data collected at Goldstone on Nov. 7, 2011, between 11:24 a.m. and 1:35 p.m. PST (2:24 p.m. and 4:35 p.m. EST). They are the highest-resolution images ever generated by radar of a near-Earth object.

Each of the six frames required 20 minutes of data collection by the Goldstone radar. At the time, 2005 YU55 was approximately 860,000 miles (1.38 million kilometers) away from Earth. Resolution is 4 meters per pixel.

“The movie shows the small subset of images obtained at Goldstone on November 7 that have finished processing. By animating a sequence of radar images, we can see more surface detail than is visible otherwise,” said radar astronomer Lance Benner, the principal investigator for the 2005 YU55 observations, from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. “The animation reveals a number of puzzling structures on the surface that we don’t yet understand. To date, we’ve seen less than one half of the surface, so we expect more surprises.”

The trajectory of asteroid 2005 YU55 is well understood. At the point of closest approach today at 3:28 p.m. PST (6:28 p.m. EST/2328 UTC), it was no closer than 201,700 miles (324,600 kilometers), as measured from the center of Earth. The gravitational influence of the asteroid will have no detectable effect on anything here on Earth, including our planet’s tides or tectonic plates. Although 2005 YU55 is in an orbit that regularly brings it to the vicinity of Earth (and Venus and Mars), the 2011 encounter with Earth is the closest this space rock has come for at least the last 200 years.
