I was a P.F.C. on a search patrol, huntin' Charlie down
It was in the jungle wars of '65
My weapon jammed and I got stuck way out and all alone
And I could hear the enemy movin' in close outside
Just then I heard a twig snap and I grabbed my empty gun
And I dug in scared while I counted down my fate
And then a big Marine––a giant, with a pair of friendly eyes––
Appeared there at my shoulder and said "Wait."

When he came in close beside me, he said "Don't worry, son, I'm here––
If Charlie wants to tangle now, he'll have two to dodge"
I said, "Well, thanks a lot!" I told him my name and asked him his
And he said "The boys just call me Camouflage"

Chorus:
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage
I was awfully glad to see this big Marine

Well, I was gonna ask him where he came from, when we heard the bullets fly
Comin' through the brush, and all around our ears
It was then I saw this big Marine light a fire in his eye
And it was strange, but suddenly, I forgot my fears

Well, we fought all night, side by side, we took our battle stance
And I wondered how the bullets missed this man
'Cause they seemed to go right through him––just as if he wasn't there
And in the mornin' we both took a chance and ran
And it was near the riverbank when the ambush came on top of us
And I thought it was the end, and we were had
Then a bullet with my name on it came buzzin' through a bush
And that big Marine, he just swat it with his hand
Just like it was a fly...

Chorus:
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage
This was an awfully strange (big) Marine

{spoken}
And I knew there was somethin' weird about him,
'Cause when I turned around,
He was pullin' a big palm tree up outta the ground
And swattin' those Charlies with it from here to kingdom come

When he led me outta danger I saw my camp and waved goodbye
He just winked at me from the jungle and then was gone
When I got back to my H.Q., I told 'em about my night
And the battle I'd spent with a big Marine named Camouflage
When I said his name, the soldier gulped, and a medic took my arm
And led me to a green tent on the right
He said "You may be tellin' true, boy, but this here is Camouflage
And he's been right here since he passed away last night
In fact, he's been here all week long...
But before he went, he said Semper Fi, and said his only wish
Was to save a young Marine caught in a barrage
So here, take his dog tag, son, I know he'd want you to have it now"
And we both said a prayer for a big Marine named Camouflage

Chorus repeat

So next time you're in a jungle fight, and you feel a presence near
Or hear a voice that in your mind will lodge
Just be thankful that you're not alone––you've got some company
From a big Marine the boys call Camouflage

Chorus repeat x2

Hup, hey-ho, hey, left... left...
Woah, woah, Camouflage
Hey, hey-ho, ho, left... left...
Woah, woah, Camouflage
Repeat endlessly until fade...

Israel, the bomb, and openness

Israel needs to drop the fiction that it is not a nuclear power.

By Micah Zenko

7:28 AM PDT, August 9, 2010

It's time for Israel to come out of the closet. After five decades of maintaining a nuclear weapons program without acknowledging its existence, Israel should proactively announce and provide information about its nuclear weapons status. Though Israel's bombs have long been an open secret, unprecedented international scrutiny in coming years will make this "nuclear opacity" increasingly untenable.

By maintaining the fiction that it is not a nuclear power, Israel has pigeonholed itself as an international pariah, similar to its adversaries Iran and Syria. This allows its adversaries and the nonaligned movement to successfully use Israel's bombs to slow progress on nuclear nonproliferation objectives, including preventing a nuclear Iran. Israel gains nothing by sacrificing its moral and political authority to maintain a farce that no one believes.

This situation will reach a breaking point in the coming year because of enhanced scrutiny of Israel's nuclear program from several sources.

In May, all of the members of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty reaffirmed by consensus the 1995 resolution calling for a Middle East free of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction, and endorsed "Israel's accession to the treaty and the placement of all its nuclear facilities under comprehensive IAEA safeguards." To work toward this goal, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will soon appoint a facilitator to coordinate progress on implementing this 1995 resolution.

In mid-September, at the request of a slim majority of its members, International Atomic Energy Agency Director-General Yukiya Amano will issue an unprecedented report on achieving progress toward Israel's accession to the nonproliferation treaty and placing its nuclear capabilities under IAEA safeguards.

In October, historian Avner Cohen will release "The Worst-Kept Secret: Israel's Bargain with the Bomb," the follow-up to his groundbreaking "Israel and the Bomb," which showed in exhaustive detail the steps taken by successive governments to develop a nuclear weapon by 1967. Cohen's forthcoming book will assuredly provide additional revelations that both embarrass Tel Aviv and further clarify Israel's nuclear capabilities.

In light of this forthcoming scrutiny, there are three near-term steps that Israel should undertake.

First, Israel should provide transparency about the size, command and control, nuclear security features and nonproliferation objectives of its nuclear arsenal. As was the case of other non-NPT nuclear powers — India and Pakistan — doing so would allow Israel to reassure the international community about its program. For example, in 2000, Pakistan created its National Command Authority, which assures civilian oversight of the bomb. In addition, Pakistan allows its chief nuclear military official, Lt. Gen. Khalid Kidwai, to brief international audiences about the safety and security features of his country's nuclear arsenal.

Second, in light of its recently announced intention to pursue civilian nuclear energy, Israel should sign a safeguards agreement with the IAEA covering all existing or future civilian nuclear facilities. In 2008, India signed a similar accord with the agency, which allowed it to receive international support for its peaceful civilian nuclear reactors. Here, the United States stands ready to help. At their July meeting, President Obama reportedly told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the United States would consider providing civilian nuclear technologies to Israel. Given that Israel has an estimated 115 to 190 warheads, according to the NRDC Nuclear Notebook, it no longer needs to produce fissile material for military purposes.

Third, Israel should reverse its existing policy and participate in legitimate international forums where the issue of a nuclear-weapon- and WMD-free Middle East are debated. One-sided pressure against Israel's policies is the unfortunate norm of many international organizations. However, Israeli diplomats should openly discuss their country's nuclear intentions and objectives, and either oppose or defend the 1995 resolution.

Israel cannot have a voice in the debate on nuclear nonproliferation — a debate that has vital ramifications for the Middle East — unless it becomes a good-faith participant in multilateral efforts to control and safeguard weapons of mass destruction. If such an announcement were to cause diplomatic isolation or a cascade of proliferation in the region, these events would have already happened. Instead, Israel only stands to gain by confirming a fact taken for granted by its friends and adversaries alike.

Iron Man of American Sports Racing Icon Russell Baze Posts 11,000th Win! Awesome!

Baze rides world-best 11,000th winner

Larry Stumes, Special to The Chronicle

Sunday, August 15, 2010

(08-14) 20:48 PDT -- When Russell Baze became the first jockey in North America to reach 10,000 winners, he addressed the crowd at Golden Gate Fields on Feb. 1, 2008.

"It's a milestone, but it's not the final milestone," Baze said. "In about three years I should be standing here again."

But Baze took only 2 1/2 years to reach a world-best 11,000, which he did in Saturday's fourth race at the Sonoma County Fair.

Unlike his 10,000th winner, which came by a short nose, Baze didn't have to work hard for No. 11,000 as well-bred first-time starter Separate Forest won the $29,250 maiden-allowance event for fillies and mares by 11 lengths. Separate Forest is trained by Richard Mandella - like Baze, a member of thoroughbred racing's Hall of Fame - who sent the daughter of Forestry from his base at Del Mar.

Baze, 52, was the second jockey in the world to reach 10,000. Brazilian rider Jorge Ricardo made it Jan. 9, 2008, but he has since missed time with injuries and stands at 10,830. Retired Laffit Pincay is second in North America with 9,530 winners.

"When you think about it, 11,000 is a ridiculous number," Baze said after he won the Real Good Deal Stakes with Goggles McCoy on Wednesday at Del Mar for his 10,996th. "I'm just a guy who is lucky enough to be doing something I love; to have enough ability to do it well, and have had enough luck where I've been able to avoid the big injuries and losing a lot of time. It's just all worked out."

MISTER 11K

When New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriquez was approaching his 600th career home run recently, the story captivated the media in all corners of the sporting world. It didn’t seem to matter that A-Rod admitted to steroid use early in his career, making this milestone something of a farce, or that he ranks no higher than seventh on the all-time list of career home runs.

Compare the media coverage of that story to Saturday’s accomplishment by Hall of Fame jockey Russell Baze, horse racing’s all-time winningest jockey. Baze guided first-time starter Separate Forest to an 11-length win in the fourth race at Northern California’s Sonoma County Fair, his 11,000th career victory.

The National Thoroughbred Racing Association did send out a one-sentence "alert," stating:

"Jockey Russell Baze registered the 11,000th win of his career when he guided Separate Forest to victory in today’s 4th race at Santa Rosa (Sonoma County Fair)." The Paulick Report received no press releases from the Sonoma County Fair (in the last 20 years I don’t recall receiving any press releases from a Northern California racetrack about anything, so that’s no surprise). There were no photos distributed showing Baze in the winner’s circle holding up a big sign with "11,000 wins," and little coverage other than the industry trade publications (and Chuck Dybdal provided excellent coverage in Daily Racing Form).

Perhaps if Baze was riding in New York or Southern California the accomplishment might have received some mainstream media coverage
