Uh, huh huh, attack of the idiots today. Forgot META-INF is part of the jar file. I kept thinking folder in .minecraft when you said that. Clearing that out fixed my issue.
Thanks for dealing with a noob...
You would think someone who is a developer would create better help requests...
Sorry.
Minecraft 1.5
Forge 7.7.0
Deleted everything in my .minecraft folder and started clean. No log files.

I am not getting any log files or anything. Completely deleted the .minecraft folder, downloaded a new executable. The executable downloaded the required files and started just fine. I closed that out and dropped the files for Forge into the minecraft..jar file and the image is what happens when I start minecraft now.
Had no issues until the Minecraft update today.
