We are on a Windjammer Sailboat, island-hopping in the Caribbean. Went to Bimini, where Hemingway lived for a while and wrote Islands in the Stream. Did he write "The Old Man and the Sea" here? I don't know. The bar he hung out in is now burned down. More below, but first this:

If I hear Bush one more time say that the current aggression in the Middle East is Lebanon's fault because they fired rockets at Israel, I'm going to scream and bang my head against a wall! The current escalation started a few weeks ago when Israel killed a bunch of Palestinians who were on the beach. Of course, Israel is blaming everyone but themselves on why those people died! A few weeks goes by and Palestinian soldiers capture two of Israel's soldiers in retaliation for what Israel did to them. Did Israel overreact to that? Yup!!!!!! In my eyes, it is Israel who is provoking madness right now. I put most of the blame on them, because if you think about it, why couldn't Israel just hand over a few Palestinian prisoners in exchange for their soldiers back? I mean, really, that would have been the diplomatic solution to this, right?
After careful consideration I've determined that the Bush White House is telling Israel to push forward with force (but of course, the exact opposite is leaving Bush's mouth in public) and to use the reaction to it as a reason for America to invade Iran and Syria! But of course.
And remember....Bush always puts the blame on the country he wants to invade and occupy. Case closed. No further comment or explanation needed here." (from commenter KayInMaine)
* PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS OF AMERICA Reiterates CALL FOR AN END TO ISRAELI OCCUPATION
Around the world, people are watching in fear and horror as the Middle East sinks further into violence. We are witnessing human rights violations and civilian deaths on a massive scale in the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. And now, the conflict has escalated with added violence between the Lebanese Hezbollah and Israel. All of this comes on top of the chaos in Iraq caused by the unjust and ill-considered U.S. invasion and occupation.
Progressive Democrats of America asserts that any remedy to the escalating conflicts involving Israel and its neighbors must begin by addressing the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands and the consistent violence, humiliation and brutality the occupation entails. In the absence of this fundamental assertion, the violence will no doubt continue.
* CHEERS TO VALERIE PLAME and HER HUSBAND JOE WILSON!! Thank you for your courage in combatting the evil triumvirate CHENEY-ROVE-AND WHOEVER THE THIRD GUY IS who supports the most corrupt administration the United States has ever had.
* Also, I urge you all to read the brilliant book Devil's Game by my friend Robert Dreyfuss. The book will be out in paperback in August.
Some reviews: “A fluent tour de force—Dreyfuss skillfully documents the misguided stratagems of generations of statesmen whose attempts to use the Islamic right to Western strategic advantage have helped make political Islam the formidable force it is today. He makes a convincing case that the U.S. government inadvertently played a central role in building up the forces that struck New York and Washington on 9/11, and questions whether some current U.S. policies and actions are not still strengthening rather than weakening enemies of our country. Dreyfuss’ carefully researched and well-written story will be a revelation to experts on the Islamic world and a shock to concerned Americans.”
—Chas W. Freeman, Jr., former assistant secretary of defense and U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia, 1989-92
Dreyfuss's thorough research on the subject involves extensive interviews with former officials as well as the study of published works. The result is a stunning summary of missed opportunities and signals ignored. Highly recommended. —Library Journal
“’The enemy of enemy is my friend’ is usually considered unsophisticated, tribal thinking. But Robert Dreyfuss shows how, during the Cold War, precisely this principle led the United States to support anti-Communist Islamist movements throughout the Muslim world—nurturing the whirlwind we are reaping today. His book is judicious, fascinating, and deeply grounded in a little-know history that stretches many decades back from the CIA’s support for anti-Soviet forces in Afghanistan. He is wise enough to know that all the strength of fundamentalist Islam can’t be blamed on American bungling, but the amount that can is appalling.”
—Adam Hochschild, author of Bury the Chains and King Leopold’s Ghost
WINDJAMMER TRIP: Went to two uninhabited islands, with the most amazing beaches and clear crystal water. A small storm (mini-hurricane) caught up with us and we almost capsized in the launch. But most of the time we've been snorkeling and diving with the kids. Saw a scorpion fish and got to pet some wild stingrays; they're so amazing with these big round eyes. They remind me of our puppy dog. Also saw a shark in a cove. This trip was a gift/payment for hosting the World Travel Awards, courtesy of the Really Spectacular Company. We are at the Atlantis Hotel on Paradise island right now.
We met the most wonderful people on this boat; can't wait to sail with them again. And we are all madly in love with Captain Fernando!
I teach my sons to have the deepest respect for the office of the President of the United States, but we must remember it is an elected office, and the president is a politician. When one political party does not have the best interest of honest Americans at heart, it is our duty to take notice, speak out and earnestly seek the truth. Most of all, we cannot have this lack of fundamental trust. The minute George W. Bush was "elected" to power, I knew something was terribly wrong. We need full disclosure of the motives and deeds of this corrupt regime. This does not feel like the America of my childhood. Maybe we are not jaded enough, but I believe in the American dream of our forefathers. I am heartsick at this administration. The American public deserves to know what the government is spending our money on. If they are wasting American taxpayer money hacking into bloggers and regular American citizens who are merely expressing their opinions on blogs and newspapers, this is the worst form of censorship. It is criminal.
Back in a week.

ReplyDeleteDont you wish american liberals had the heart the Israeli's have in protecting this country.Do you think any Dem will stand up to condemn Isreal in an election year?I wonder where Upchuck Schumer is on this.
"Republicans used to accuse Democrats of "throwing money at problems." The Bush administration not only throws money at problems; it misses them."
ReplyDeleteAs for White House comparisons, there's no contest. The current Republican administration leaves its Democratic predecessor in the dust for both amounts spent and money wasted. Bush is the biggest spender since Lyndon Johnson, according to the Cato Institute. In domestic discretionary spending (which doesn't include defense or entitlements), Bush has Johnson beat. By contrast, Bill Clinton stands as a paragon of restraint. Domestic discretionary spending jumped an average 8 percent a year in Bush's first term, versus only 2.5 percent annually in Clinton's eight years.

ReplyDeletePlame sues White House figures over CIA leak
ReplyDeleteFormer CIA officer and husband file lawsuit against Cheney, Libby, Rove
BREAKING NEWS
Updated: 5 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - The CIA officer whose identity was leaked to reporters sued Vice President Dick Cheney, his former top aide and presidential adviser Karl Rove on Thursday, accusing them and other White House officials of conspiring to destroy her career.
In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court, Valerie Plame and her husband, Joseph Wilson, a former U.S. ambassador, accused Cheney, Rove and I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby of revealing Plame’s CIA identity in seeking revenge against Wilson for criticizing the Bush administration’s motives in Iraq.
Several news organizations wrote about Plame after syndicated columnist Robert Novak named her in a column on July 14, 2003. Novak’s column appeared eight days after Wilson alleged in an opinion piece in The New York Times that the administration had twisted prewar intelligence on Iraq to justify going to war.
The CIA had sent Wilson to Niger in early 2002 to determine whether there was any truth to reports that Saddam Hussein’s government had tried to buy yellowcake uranium from Niger to make a nuclear weapon. Wilson discounted the reports, but the allegation nevertheless wound up in President Bush’s 2003 State of the Union address.
Instructor who says U.S. behind 9/11 keeps job
ReplyDeleteUniversity cites 'free exchange of ideas' over political pressure
AP Updated: 3:19 p.m. MT July 11, 2006
MADISON, Wis. - An instructor at the University of Wisconsin who has said he believes U.S. officials orchestrated the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, will be allowed to teach a course on Islam, the school says.
Some state politicians had called for the University of Wisconsin-Madison to fire part-time instructor Kevin Barrett after he spoke about his theories on a radio talk show last month.
“We cannot allow political pressure from critics of unpopular ideas to inhibit the free exchange of ideas,” Provost Patrick Farrell said in a statement Monday. “To the extent that his views are discussed, Mr. Barrett has assured me that students will be free — and encouraged — to challenge his viewpoint.”
Politicians who had called for Barrett’s dismissal blasted the decision.
“The governor would have come to a different conclusion about this,” said Matt Canter, a spokesman for Gov. Jim Doyle.
State Rep. Steve Nass said he would push next year for cuts to the university’s budget.
So according to repugs free speech is fine as long as the person exercising that free speech is not saying something they do not agree with or that opposes their political beliefs or people, typical repug hypocrites.
ReplyDeleteDid White House break law on revealing intel?
ReplyDeleteGOP lawmaker: Bush’s failure to brief Congress may have violated law
AP Updated: 4:05 p.m. MT July 9, 2006
WASHINGTON - The White House possibly broke the law by keeping intelligence activities a secret from the lawmakers responsible for overseeing them, the House Intelligence Committee chairman said Sunday.
Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., said he was informed about the programs by whistleblowers in the intelligence community and then asked the Bush administration about the programs, using code names. Hoekstra said members of the House and Senate intelligence committees then were briefed on the programs, which he said is required by law.
in this case, there was at least one major — what I consider significant activity that we have not been briefed on. I want to set the standard there that it is not optional for this president or any president or people in the executive community not to keep the intelligence committees fully informed of what they are doing,” he said on “Fox News Sunday.”
Hoekstra complained to President Bush in a letter dated May 18 that was disclosed in Sunday’s New York Times.
‘A direct affront to me’
In the letter, Hoekstra said the failure to brief the intelligence committees “may represent a breach of responsibility by the administration, a violation of law and, just as importantly, a direct affront to me and the members of this committee who have so ardently supported efforts to collect information on our enemies.”
Frederick Jones, spokesman for Bush’s National Security Council, said the only comment the White House would have on the letter was that the administration “will continue to work closely with the chairman and other congressional leaders on important national security issues.”
Hoekstra has been critical of the administration before. In his letter, he also objected to the president’s nominees for the director and deputy director of the CIA. He also complains about the role of the director of national intelligence — a position created in response to the Sept. 11 attacks.
but of course the repug trolls will say not to take this man seriously because he is just another repug traitor.

ReplyDeleteCourt to review eavesdropping program
ReplyDeleteAPUpdated: 12:59 a.m. MT July 13, 2006
WASHINGTON - The White House has conditionally agreed to a court review of its controversial eavesdropping program, Senate Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter said Thursday.
Specter said President Bush has agreed to sign legislation that would authorize the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to review the constitutionality of the National Security Agency’s most high-profile monitoring operations.
“You have here a recognition by the president that he does not have a blank check,” the Pennsylvania Republican told his committee.
Breaking with historic norms, the president authorized the actions without a court warrant.
The disclosure of the program in December sparked outrage among Democrats and civil liberties advocates who said Bush overstepped his authority as president.
Specter said the legislation, which has not yet been made public, was the result of “tortuous” negotiations with the White House since June.
“If the bill is not changed, the president will submit the Terrorist Surveillance Program to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court,” Specter said. “That is the president’s commitment.”
Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, the committee’s senior Democrat, said Bush could submit the program to the court right now, if he wished. He called the potential legislation “an interesting bargain.”
“He’s saying, if you do every single thing I tell you to do, I’ll do what I should have done anyway,” Leahy said.
The Center for National Security Studies and other civil liberties advocates have consistently faulted Specter’s proposals. “They would set up a system of sham judicial review,” said the center’s director Kate Martin.
White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said the administration still does not believe changes in law are necessary, but added that it remains willing to work with Congress.
The administration official, who asked not to be identified because discussions are still ongoing, said the bill also would give the attorney general power to consolidate the 100 lawsuits filed against the surveillance operations into one case before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
Specter did not explain to his committee that detail, which is likely to raise the ire of civil liberties groups.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said in an interview that Specter’s agreement with the White House raises the “thorny question” about whether the content of conversations should be subject to individual courts warrants.
“I really need to see the bill,” said Feinstein, one of a select group of lawmakers who has been fully briefed on the monitoring operations.
Duh....ya think Plames law suit has anything to do with the book she has coming out? Poor girl has to do anything she can friggin Joe wont look for work.

ReplyDeleteTOP SECRET INTERVIEW EXPOSED! By Ann Coulter
ReplyDeleteWed Jul 5, 8:06 PM ET
It was nice to see The New York Times commemorating Independence Day this week with a tribute to its favorite Revolutionary War hero, Benedict Arnold. Times editor Bill Keller spent the day attending Revolutionary War battle re-enactments, where he passed the Continental Army's secret battle plans to the British.
This week I plan to reveal my own top secret information: an interview I did with the New York Post the week my current No. 1 best seller, "Godless," was released. On account of an important breaking story on Angelina Jolie's new tattoo, the Post never found room to run the long interview I wasted my time answering for the Post's Larry Getlen.
Once considered a legitimate daily, the Post has been reduced to tabloid status best known for Page Six's breathless accounts of Paris Hilton's latest ruttings, and headlines like "Vampire Teen -- H.S. Girl Is Out for Blood." How crappy a newspaper is the Post? Let me put it this way: It's New York's second-crappiest paper.
Maybe the Post's constant harassment of me is an attempt to shake me down for protection money like they did with billionaire businessman Ron Burkle. I have sold a LOT of books -- more books, come to think of it, than any writers at the New York Post.
Here's Part 1:
NY POST: Vitriol aside for a moment, how would you define a liberal, politically speaking?
A: Naive, misinformed fanatical Mother Earth-worshipers and fervent America-haters -- and those are their good traits.
NY POST: In "Godless," you lump many views you disagree with under the banner of a liberal religion. But many Democrats (as with Republicans) disagree amongst themselves on many of these issues. Do you consider all Americans who vote Democrat to be liberals?
A: Or fools.
NY POST: How many liberals do you think there actually are in this country?
A: Way too many, but that's just a rough estimate. You know, somewhere in the ballpark of "way too many."
NY POST: Your books, like Bill O'Reilly's, generally go to No. 1. But so do Michael Moore's and Al Franken's. What do you think this says about the real nature of what Americans believe, politically and ideologically?
A: Judging by your list, that half of them are patriotic.
NY POST: In the last two presidential elections combined, the number of people who voted for the Democrat and the number who voted for the Republican were pretty close to even. Isn't it safe to say that the country rests somewhere in the middle of conservatism and liberalism?
A: Yes, I think the results of the last "American Idol" vote pretty much proved that.
NY POST: Your characterization of liberals paints them as extremists. But with people like Pat Robertson telling us how God keeps telling him who He's angry at, isn't it fair to say that there are extremists on both sides?
A: Pat Robertson opposes capital punishment, opposed the impeachment of Bill Clinton and supports trade with China, just for starters. Seems like a pretty mixed bag to me. So what makes you call him extreme? That he believes he has dialogue with the Lord? Do liberals now call anyone who thinks this an "extremist"?
NY POST: Do you believe there is a political middle? If so, how would you define it?
A: There is no more a "political middle" than there is a family in America with 2.3 children. People with opinions take sides. Contrary to what you've heard, it's actually more important to stand for something than it is for everybody to "just get along."
NY POST: You speak in the book of "Muslims' predilection for violence," accepting it as a given. But many would argue that many Muslims, in this country and others, lead average, everyday lives, and denounce violence. How is painting all Muslims as violent any different than looking at the Crusades, or at any of the Christian extremist groups around today, and saying, "All Christians are murderers?"
A: Quite obviously, referring to "Muslims' predilection for violence" is not the same as saying, "All Christians are murderers." It would be the same if I had said, "All Muslims are murderers." You didn't do too well on the analogies section of the SATs, did you?
NY POST: You say that "without a fundamental understanding of man's place in the world" (by which you mean God), we risk being lured into, among other things, slavery. But weren't the American slaveholders devout Christians?
A: They may have been devout Christians, but they weren't being good Christians by holding slaves. That's the point: Any Christian slaveholder had to violate Christianity to own slaves.
Thus -- and obviously -- the abolitionist movement was fueled by Christians, much as the anti-abortion movement is today.
I'm sure in the year 2106 some future Ann Coulter will be asked to explain why some Christians had abortions 100 years earlier. Christians sometimes lapse into the church of liberalism by doing bad things, just as liberals sometimes lapse into our church by doing good things.
(To be continued later this summer ...)
Does Coulter ever have anything to say TT, thats not incoherent outrageous BS?
ReplyDeleteBut back to Cheney, now that he is being sues does anyone share my view that he "MAY" go down for this one?
ReplyDeleteMike,she sounds a ton smarter then you.
ReplyDeleteOh yea Cheney will be indicted this coming Tues. at 10:47 EST.They will perp walk him out of the whitehouse in handcuffs with his jacket over his head.This is a HUGE story,
ReplyDeleteBack to Cheney, anyone think he will be dragged in to court to testify, have records subpoened and be further discredited (if thats still possible) and possibly impeached?
ReplyDeleteMike,they dont impeach vice presidents.
ReplyDeleteI mean dont forget Fitzgerald's investigation is ongoing, and i'm sure there was a reason he let Rove off the hook when he CLEARLY leaked information, sounds like he might have thrown the smaller fish back to catch the bigger fish.
ReplyDeleteof course they dont, and how did you know this fact?........could be you've allready had a corrupt one removed from office (Agnew) or could be because you looked into that to see what "MIGHT" become of old Dead Eye Dick.
ReplyDeleteYep Mike,once again you're right as rain.My sources tell me next Tues.is the day,all hell is going to break loose.Cheney will be spending the night in the gray bar motel.Ya think he'll make bail?
ReplyDeletethere you go again johnny troll trying to create my argument for me and box me into saying tuesday or some specific day he will be indicted, are you that dumb that you need to use dishonest troll tactics to win arguments?
ReplyDeleteBTW though you do seem to be fairly knowledgable out US GOV for a so claimed disinterested 3rd party canadian.
I also know for a fact that once Cheney is out of the picture the leading candidates to get appointed VP are Richard Clarke Joe Wilson and Tom Daschle.
ReplyDeleteYou're right us hoser's know quite a bit aboot you americans,aye.
ReplyDeleteBut enough about Cheney allready, how about we discuss how repugs can claim to support freedom of speech, then hippocritically attempt to stifle a college professors free speech by trying to silence him and get him fired because they dont like what he has to say when he exercises his freedom of speech.
ReplyDeleteso I guess like a typical facists you repuggies are all for free speech as long as it supports your people politically and you agree with the message of the person exrecising their free speech.............so in reality you hippocrite fascists dont believe in free spech at all you guys just believe in repug spin.
ReplyDelete"hippocrite fascists"...wow,is'nt that special.
ReplyDeletecome on smart guy, I though your here for debate, thats not an answer, how can you hippocrites claim to support free speech and then try to get someone fired that exercises their freedom of speech.......come on you can respond out side of your tired old talking points, cant ya????
ReplyDeletecome on smart guy, i'm waiting for an answer, how bout you prove you are here for honest debate and discussion and not to be a slimy troll by answering the question?
ReplyDeletewhats wrong genius, you cant answer so you will ignore the question....or declare victory.....or change the subject back to one of your stupid talking points.
ReplyDeleteman you mentally challenged punks talk a mean game but get your clocks cleaned every single day!
ReplyDeletewhats wrong are the little gears and wheels in your little walnut smoking and burning trying to come up with an intelligent response, I thought you were so brilliant, is that all ya got...............nothing, zip, zilch, nadda!
ReplyDeleteBS, you clowns are allowed to use the media to spread your garbage that we need to fight them there instead of hear and abandon the Geneva Convention, so he has just as much right to voice his opinion.
ReplyDeletehe is doing nothing different that Coulter or O'liely or the Bush propagabda machine is doing, trying to influence people and sway public opinion, and if his free speech needs to be regulated so does your guys.
ReplyDeleteBut to clarify I am strongly for total Free speech with no regulations.
hippocrites to the end, you clowns want to be able to influence people and sway public opinion but dont want the other side to have those same rights.
ReplyDeleteweak weak arguments rusty/johnny, you guys want to be able to say what you want and believe but if you dont like what someone else believes or says you want to stifle and silence their rights of freedom of speech.
ReplyDeleteThe Crisco Kid rides again.
ReplyDeleteDont call college adults kids, many people are 21 and over and many are middle aged adults, dont try and spin this like this professor was brainwashing 8 year olds because thats BS.
ReplyDeletethats what college is for to teach critical open minded thinking and being open minded to other people's perspectives and point of view.
ReplyDeletesee if every single class was specifically trying to influence and sway people's opinion politically like the MSM is doing that would be different but this was one professor voicing his personal opinion by exercising his freedom of speech, he wasnt coercing or forcing people to think like him.
ReplyDeletesee college teaches us to look at our leaders objectively and question them and not just show blind trust and loyalty to them and believe they have our best interests at heart.
ReplyDeletejohnny you are the dumbest punk i've ever encountered!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes any one who supports torture is a cowardly traitor.

IMHO Israel has been far more restrained than the U.S. would be if say, pinkos in Berzerkely tried to set up their own country and started launching rockets into L.A. and sending suicide bombers into Houston.
The U.S. is famous for zealous over-kill when our back is to the wall. Our enemies ignore world history at their own peril.
Yet these fools would be happy to turn the protection of america over to the likes of Kerry,Boxer,Reid or Kennedy or better yet Russ Feingold.

ReplyDeleteClif,too bad the majority of americans dont want you guys,bad for you I guess.
ReplyDeleteWrong anal one because as we were fightiong in Korea...the French were fighting to recapture Indochina...and they lost...but the Dulles brothers wouldn't accept the person who fought the Japanese and beat the french...because they wanted Vietnam for the repugs so the created SEATO and left the mess to future presidents...instead of allowing a free election in 1956...which even Eisenhower said Ho Chi Ming would win...thus we were always fighting against the will of the majority of the vietnamese people ...no wonder we could never win the peace there...we could prevail in every battle...but the vietnamese would not accept defeat...thus they OUTLASTED us...sounds like what the Islamists did to the Soviets in the 80's....
ReplyDeleteWell peace on our terms didn't work for Nixon or Ford did it?
ReplyDeleteAnd Ike knew we didn't have the military assests to succeed where Hitler failed...invading Russia and forcing them to surrender....but it would have plunged the world into a full scale shooting war with Europe already decimated..and most Allies with out the will to fight for many years more to defeat the Russians...Truman set up a much better situation which every president furfilled until Russia collapsed in the early 90's
ReplyDeleteNo China does not have a democratically elected government ..but neither did Vietnam in the ^)'s while we fought for their government..the Philipines at the same toime period..Saudi Arabia ever..Iran when we overthrew their elected government in 1954 to install the SHAH..but do forget those facts...

ReplyDeleteWrong again volt the moron..we didn't even get involved until 1942..and the Russians had stopped the German advance then and were begining to push back remember Stalingrad was 1942
ReplyDeleteThe Battle of Stalingrad was a turning point in World War II and it is considered the bloodiest battle in human history, with more combined casualties suffered than any battle before or since. The battle was marked by brutality and disregard for military and civilian casualties on both sides. The battle is taken to include the German siege of the southern Russian city of Stalingrad (now Volgograd), the battle inside the city, and the Soviet counter-offensive which eventually trapped and destroyed the German Sixth Army and other Axis forces around the city. Total casualties for both sides are estimated to be over two million. The Axis powers lost large numbers of men and equipment, and they never fully recovered from the defeat. For the Soviets, who also suffered great losses during the battle, the victory at Stalingrad marked the start of the liberation of the Soviet Union and leading to eventual victory over Nazi Germany in 1945.
Germany Invadedd Russia in 1941 and the Russians stopped them that year and fought back and captured the largest German army evcer captured..when they surrounded them at Stalingrad
Volt you should study some real history..not the repug talking points that you think are true...you wouldn't look as stupid as rusty does normally

Jeesh,I'd forgotten all about Jimmy Carter,now there was a president that inspired all americans.What a piece of work that guy was.
ReplyDeleteVoltaire said...
ReplyDeleteGreat example there clif.
IF Carter had helped prop up a US ALLY, we'd STILL have an a footprint in the region and a lot less terrorism, and a lot more people still alive.
Carter did what David Rockefeller asked and let the SHAH in...but could not stop the PEOPLE of IRAN from throwing him out...see they didn't want him in 1954 when we FORCED them to take him any more than 1979 when they forced him to go........we destroyed the democracy there...and now blame them...
Oh christ,Mike is off his meds.
ReplyDeleteSee you little Reich Wing or Goverment bitch troll, you try and silence me one more time and I promise you it will be me that does the silencing!!!
ReplyDeleteBut you dolts keep thinking because we forces the Iranians to take the SHAH to get at their oil...they should have forsaken their democratic principles to aqueous to OUR wishes....
ReplyDeleteMike,quick look out the window,any black helicopters?
ReplyDeleteJust like Kissenger did to Chile in 1973..over throw a democratically elected government to installanother dictator...wonder why repugs like dictators soo much they destroy democracies to install them...
ReplyDeletesee it is simple democracy means the people who live there make the decisions...not some NEO-CON cabal like PNAC
ReplyDeleteAnd like the repugs did to Nicaraga under Reagan or as I like to call him depends boy..he looked so regal in them....

ReplyDeleteQuote of the day before 7 a.m. ET
ReplyDeleteWhile it is still early in the day, it will be difficult to top this quote President Bush made at a joint news conference with Chancellor Angela Merkel in Stralsund.
AP's Terry Hunt: Mr. President, were you surprised by President Putin replying to Vice President Cheney's criticism, saying that it was an "unsuccessful hunting shot?"
Bush: Did I think it was a clever response? It was pretty clever. Actually, quite humorous -- not to dis my friend, the Vice President.
http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/07/13/mg.thu/index.html?section=cnn_allpolitics
Glad bush ain't a friend of mine...with friends like this dead eye does not need enemies...but he does make many of them anyway...
Remember how bushie supported some fo his other friends..like Kenny boy Lay...or Brownie....
ReplyDeleteWhat's the status of the Taliban?
ReplyDeleteAfter the United States' Operation Enduring Freedom drove them from power in Afghanistan in 2001, the Taliban appeared to be a spent force. Much of their leadership was killed or captured, while most of the rest were forced into hiding. Within a few weeks, the Taliban had gone from rulers of a country that's bigger than Iraq to rulers of some rocks barely bigger than a ruler.
In December 2001, Afghan leaders meeting in Germany signed the Bonn Agreement, a loose framework via which Afghanistan's long-warring ethnic and tribal groups agreed to work with the international community to transform Afghanistan into a constitutional democracy. The Taliban were not a party to the agreement.
By 2002, the U.S. was describing its military work in Afghanistan against the Taliban as mere mopping up actions. Although the Taliban's nominal leader, Mullah Omar, had not been captured, the Taliban were nevertheless weak. Depending on the reports, the number of men that the Taliban could put into battle at any given time was somewhere between a few dozen and a few hundred. The Taliban weren't dead, but they were close.
Now, fast-forward to 2006.
During the spring, the Taliban mounted their largest military offensive since they were booted from power. The group can now field between 6,000 and 12,000 fighters, and can apparently recruit with ease. British Defence Minister Des Browne has just described the Taliban as energized. Ahmed Rashid, the brilliant Pakistani journalist whose book Taliban: Militant Islam, Oil and Fundamentalism in Central Asia warned the world about the danger of the Taliban a full year-and-a-half before 9/11, recently wrote that the Taliban were a revived movement "that has made a third of the country [Afghanistan] ungovernable."
What happened to allow the Taliban to arise from the almost-dead?
Nothing happened.
That's the problem -- nothing happened.
The same Afghan leaders and international community members who promised to hold Afghanistan's hand and help it rebuild never actually did what they said they would do.
Barnett R. Rubin's March 2006 report for the Council on Foreign Relations titled "Afghanistan's Uncertain Transition from Turmoil to Normalcy" explains what hasn't happened:
• The United States has failed to commit military forces adequate for rebuilding and stabilizing Afghanistan. Afghanistan's weak central government has also failed. The result: The Taliban movement was able to reincubate in the same parts of southern Afghanistan from which it originally emerged.
• The international community has failed to halt Afghanistan's opium production. Opium now accounts for roughly half of Afghanistan's GDP. Money from the opium trade not only funds Taliban fighters, but it has fueled high-level corruption in Afghanistan's government.
Efforts to eradicate opium production by interdiction or destroying crops in the fields have only inspired more dislike for Afghanistan's government and Western forces. In much of rural Afghanistan, growing opium is the only way people can make a living. Taking away their living without giving them anything in return pisses them off and drives them into the arms of the Taliban.
• Iraq. Iraq drew away some of, if not most of, the U.S.'s counterinsurgency capability from Afghanistan. Iraq also has become a training ground for Taliban. Al-Qaeda has helped connect Taliban fighters with veterans of Iraq's insurgency.
Their evil synergy has expressed itself most forcefully in the form of suicide bombings. There have been 40 suicide bombings in Afghanistan in the past four months. There were five in the preceding five years. Overall, insurgent attacks have quadrupled since 2002.
• Afghanistan's government is weak and corrupt. While many in the new government have conspicuously enriched themselves, life for everyday Afghans hasn't much improved. Five years after the fall of the Taliban, Afghanistan is still, by objective, internationally accepted measurements, among the most miserable places on Earth to live.

So dippy foole..you do not know me OR my position..so go back to troll U and learn some more to fool us
Funny also Hippy Joe shows up with the same history as Volt the dolt
ReplyDeleteCould it be because of the post about how badly Bush and Rumsfeld screwed up in Afghanistan..by not finishing the war...and getting the leadership...and ignoring the Taliban until the Taliban is making such a comeback that And a British NATO in Afghanistan says this;
ReplyDelete“We need to realise that we could actually fail here,” warns Lieutenant-General David Richards, British commander of the Nato-led peacekeeping force. “Think of the psychological victory for Bin Laden and his ilk if we failed and the Taliban came back. Within months we’d suffer terror attacks in the UK. I think of my own daughters in London and the risk they would be in.”

ReplyDeleteThe number of earmarks, “totaling about half a billion dollars,” in a domestic spending bill that House conservatives are now “struggling” to push through. The problem? The earmarks “are tied to a Democratic minimum-wage increase that is anathema to the GOP, and no proposed solution has taken root.”

ReplyDeleteThe president’s approval rating dropped to 36 percent, down from 41 percent approval two weeks ago and 40 percent in mid-June. Bush lost ground this week among some key constituent groups, such as Republicans, whites and men. Overall, 53 percent of Americans say they disapprove.
ReplyDeleteEven though it is extremely close, this is the first time the GOP is no longer the preferred party on Iraq: By 38 percent to 36 percent voters say they think the Democrats would do a better job handling the war.
With Democrats preferred on most issues, as one might expect, they win the generic ballot test. By 42 percent to 34 percent, voters say they would support the Democratic candidate if the midterm election were held today. Their current 8-percentage point advantage is down from a 13-point edge last month (June 13-14).
Self-identified independent voters say they would back the Democratic candidate by 30 percent to 17 percent. Most Democrats say they would vote for their party’s candidate (82 percent), as do most Republicans (78 percent).
Among those saying they voted for Bush in the last election, 64 percent say they would vote for the Republican candidate and 12 percent the Democrat.
what traitor liberal slanderous member of the MSM would say such bad things for bush and the gop..
why faux news of course

Cliff, your post from 7:53 pm was totally plagiarized. Like Lydia, you passed that post off as your own. No quotation marks, no citatations, no URL, nothing to indicate that the words you tried to pass off as your own were really someone else's. Shame, Shame.
ReplyDeleteI recall reading somewhere that the Pentagon Papaers were fakes that were actually faked by the members of the Nixon Administration to make Kennedy and LBJ look bad.
ReplyDeleteIf I find a reference to that, I'll post it. I still think that Nixon had traitors in his own midst who were working from within to bring him down.
Don't forget, the major players in Watergate were some of the major players in the JFK assassination. Cubans, members of "The Company (Cni, Redrum, etc).

1) Switch to Sanka
2) Re-examine your assumptions. (I you ask, I'll explain EXACTLY what I mean by this.)

BTW the pentagon papers were compiled as per request of Sec of Defense McNamara after the TET offensive, because he wanted to understand why the vietnam war was not going as westmoreland had said...sort of like what is happing in both Iraq and Afghanistan today but Rummy does not want to know why it ain't going too well...
But do find another example of repug distortion of the facts..and OUT RIGHT lies
Former Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson sue Cheney, Libby, Rove over leak, and wouldn't it be too bad if dead eye had to lose the investments he has betting against the US economy
ReplyDeleteI read some of the post from last night,Cli,worf and Mike got kicked around pretty good,it must have been a conservative party.
ReplyDeleteClif,you were such a hero.You may impress someone like Mike but the rest of us know what you are.You're the kind of soldier fragging was invented for.Your pretend hero crap does'nt fly here.
ReplyDelete-Rusty Shackelford
Rusty, as far as I can tell, Clif is indeed a war hero who earned at least one purple heart and had a brother killed in combat. I have no reason to doubt this.
There are proly many injured combat veterans who became disabled, disillusioned, bitter, and turned on the cause they once fought for. This is a fairly easy dynamic to understand.
While we may disagree on just about everything, I believe Clif deserves our solemn respect for the sacrifices he made on behalf of our country.
One correction FF, my brother was killed on active duty , but it was here in the US not combat...
ReplyDeleteFFsaid, There are proly many injured combat veterans who became disabled, disillusioned, bitter, and turned on the cause they once fought for. This is a fairly easy dynamic to understand.
ReplyDeleteI am not bitter...and still believe in protecting the constitution, you know the one that is referenced in this story;
GOP leaders told Bush that his hardcore push to renew the more onerous provisions of the act could further alienate conservatives still mad at the President from his botched attempt to nominate White House Counsel Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court.
"I don't give a goddamn," Bush retorted. "I'm the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way."
"Mr. President," one aide in the meeting said. "There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution."
"Stop throwing the Constitution in my face," Bush screamed back. "It's just a goddamned piece of paper!"
I've talked to three people present for the meeting that day and they all confirm that the President of the United States called the Constitution "a goddamned piece of paper."
http://www.rense.com/general69/paper.htm
Too bad the repug neo-cons do not see the problem with the man supposedly tasked with the ultimate job of defending the constitution..trashing it....
BTW I am still all for the battle to destroy the Al Quaida faction in afghanistan..and eliminate the Taliban who coddled Osama while he attacked the US...but for some reason Bush and ZRummy do not see this as priority one...and that is where we depart company..
ReplyDeleteThe war in Iraq is an optional war BUSH and the neo-con cabal wanted..so they got it...and it has bit their asses real good...
Too bad they don't have any Ideas as how to resolve the detieriorating situation..there or any where else...now...just waste billions more ..get thousands of soldiers killed..tens of thousands wounded...and over a hunderd thousand of civilians...
BTW do you thinbk they BLEW it big time in Afghanistan or is this part of the christofascist plan to bring on the rapture and end of times...
like this story shows,

ReplyDeleteIt seems a pretty god case of paranoia has seeped into Mike's small brain.The DOJ,strange,very strange.You libs really have some quackers on your side,
Greg Palast: Bush had a secret plan for Iraq’s oil. Make that, he had two, and I got them. It was not easy, let me tell you. The first plan that I found was crafted by the Neo-cons – Wolfowitz and the whole Rumsfeld gang. Their program for oil in Iraq was to sell off the oil fields. We have it in black and white. They called this privatization, which means slice, dice and sell. Of course, since Iraqis only have Iraqi currency, it wouldn’t go to Iraqis, right?
ReplyDeleteThat plan was handed to General Jay Garner, our first vice counsel there. I showed him the secret plan and he said, “Yes, that’s it.” I said, “Why didn’t you implement it?” He said basically that he told Rumsfeld to take the plan and stick it where the desert sun doesn’t rise.
BuzzFlash: And then Garner got relieved of duty.
Greg Palast: That night, Rumsfeld said, well, don’t unpack. You’re fired.
BuzzFlash: Then they sent Paul Bremer.
Greg Palast: They sent in Paul Bremer, whose sole qualification for the job was that he was managing director of Kissinger Associates. But the plan to sell off Iraq’s oil fields was blocked by something I didn’t expect – big oil, the big oil companies. They said: Listen guys, this isn’t how it’s done in the Mideast. You let the Iraqis pretend that they own the oil, and what we do is we have no-bid production sharing agreements. The key thing is to make sure – and here’s the kicker – make sure we don’t get too much oil.
I have the actual 323-page document drafted by big oil executives in Houston, working with James Baker’s people. Remember, James Baker represents Exxon Oil Company. He also represents the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. These are the guys drafting the plans – our plans for Iraq’s oil. By the way, why aren’t the Iraqis drawing up their own plan? That’s another issue. But the plan was that we don’t sell off Iraq’s oilfields. Rather they have lock-up agreements with U.S. oil companies.
And most importantly, this plan would guarantee that Iraq does not produce beyond its OPEC quota. In other words, we want the oil, but not too much, because that would bring down the price of oil.
In the book, I actually show the pages from these plans for Iraq, and one says the purpose is to enhance the Iraq government’s relationship with OPEC. As you can imagine, OPEC is the oil cartel which basically has its foot on the world’s economic windpipe at the moment - $70 a barrel gasoline. Three bucks a gallon at the pump is what it comes out to. We are literally in there right now to make sure that Iraq remains good members of OPEC. They were afraid that Saddam was going renegade, and he could not be trusted to play ball with OPEC, which is basically an illegal cartel controlled by Saudi Arabia and big oil.
That was the winning plan for the oil. In other words, if you wonder why your cousin is shivering under a tank in Fallujah, it is to enhance Iraq’s relationship with OPEC. There it is, guys – black and white.
BuzzFlash: To ensure a controlled flow of oil at a good profitable price for the oil industry.
Greg Palast: Let’s put it this way. Iraq can pump 6 million barrels a day. As long as they are members of OPEC under Saudi control, they can only pump 3 million a day. With the oil for food program – we put a clamp on Saddam – it was 2 million a day. People misunderstand this one. We were screaming in the streets: no blood for oil, which, of course, you know, most Americans consider a bargain – blood for oil, as long as it’s not their blood, right? But in fact, it wasn’t blood for oil. It was blood for no oil. It was blood to make sure that not too much oil would flow and bust the market. Oil had been down under Bill Clinton to eighteen bucks a barrel. Now it’s over $70 a barrel.

And it was not about oil which they can find easily...but the WMD's which they can't...this is why I was against the war in the first place...and still am..
It took away from the catching of Osama...and broke the back of the professional military until they had to accept people like PFC Green...who before Iraq would have been told he is not Army material.
And the war was simply a war of agression for the oil...and still is but it is way too far out of control for the oil companies now...and will be for years...but since that keeps the price of oil about $30 higher than it would be with out the war on terra...especially in Iraq..the oil companies ain't complaining...but the US electorate are...and will loudly in November....

Cliff, your post from 7:53 pm was totally plagiarized. Like Lydia, you passed that post off as your own. No quotation marks, no citatations, no URL, nothing to indicate that the words you tried to pass off as your own were really someone else's. Shame, Shame.
"Sorry [Tall Texan] I forgot to link to wikipedia....so you got me there..however what I posted is true..."
So you admit it, which is less than we can say for Lydia (whose book is ALWAYS coming out soon).
Funny quote from the same piece..see above TT so you do not claim I plagerised again;
ReplyDeleteGreg Palast: The reason George Bush was chauffeuring King Abdullah around the Crawford ranch in his golf cart – well, first of all, because George is afraid of horses – no kidding.
Wouldn't Ronald Reagan be soooo impressed....with scared little georgie...afraid of horses...no wonder he is trying to scare us so much so we won't see him as the coward he really is....
"clif said...

Because you provided a link.
Yes TT i admit forgetting to post a link one time, I am human thus falible...too bad the repug neo-con cabal can't admit it...like in iraq...or Afghanistan...or on the economy...or on global warming...or in their ignoring the coming energy crisis which Jimmy Carter was right about back in 1979...he was just too far ahead of his time...
ReplyDeleteTT have you ever made a mistake...or are you like Bush...can't think of any...

Yes, plenty, and I've found that the best thing is to admit it and get it behind me. The issue goes away at that point.
TT do ever admit any mistakes..and Lydia did here idiot;
ReplyDeleteNew York Post Confirms Ann Coulter Is A Plagiarist
Reported by Ellen - July 03, 2006
An article in yesterday's New York Post confirms what we have been reporting here
RIGHT HERE stupid
(via Raw Story and Rude Pundit)
so stop LYING it is soo unchristian...but so repuglican of you
for several weeks: that Ann Coulter plagiarized sections of her new book. In fact, the Post article also found "patterns of cribbing" in Coulter's Universal Press columns over the past 12 months.
and the link so the lier TT will not spew his lies further;

Clif,
ReplyDeleteA patriot can have legitimate reasons for being against the second Iraq invasion. However, we are there now, and a patriot does not wish to see us fail; there is too much at stake for our national security and that of our allies, the stability of the Middle Eastern region, and the freedom and well-being of the Iraqi people themselves.
Even your most radical buddies in Congress are not prepared to cut and run with the exception of that fool, cynthia mckinney.
Obviously the presence of oil is a factor; Gulf I was about rolling back saddam's invasion of Kuwait, potentially invading Saudi Arabia, and thus controlling 74% of the world's known reserves. Gulf II is about closing the sore that festered for over a decade, while saddam reneged on the terms of the armistice, failed to allow weapons inspectors to do their job, snuffed Kurds and any other real or imagined opposition, and raided the Iraqi oil for his own obscene enrichment.
As for protection of the U.S. Constitution, I care less about what someone may blurt in a moment of rage, than observing the history of the consistently liberal judicial activists like Stevens, Ginsburg, Kennedy, and Souter who "discover" things in the Constitution like the ability of a rich person to take someone else's private property for the "public good".
Justices Affirm Property Seizures
Perhaps you agree with these type of decisions, or perhaps you are too busy hating Bush and the "ChristoFascists" to realize what is going on.
Foole FF it is a civil war in all but name so we have failed to stabilise the situatioin...thus either have to sent millions of soldiers to clamp down and control the country just as we did after WW2 in Europe, and Japan...or admit we are never going to be able to stabilise it....
ReplyDeleteto suggest otherwise would show a serious lack of military awarness which I not would expect of you...take the particin blinders off and assess the situation if you were tasked to stabilise the country so the rebuilding could begin...and the green zone does not count...

ReplyDeleteI am now Mike.
Whats up?
10:10 AM"
Meaning what?
But TT will conrtinue to lie because he can't admit any mistakes as he has not...

ReplyDeleteIt was the sudden change to perfect grammar, sysntax and puntuation that was the give-away.
Without cut and pastes, Clif would be lost.
Funny how as one troll gets their ass handed to them another just happens to show up...must be some sort of repug circle _erk
ReplyDeleteAttack the messenger because you have nothing against the message..eh TT
ReplyDeleteYour attacks on me show that you can not counter what I say intellectually..
thus are simply a troll foole who has little to actually to bring to the debate.
Worfeus as stupid as the trolls seem most of the time..TT simply is posting with out the emailed talking points today...and shows he ain't got game with out them
ReplyDeleteAs I said, I can tell you what I think "happened" to Mike. When eblogger went down for 90 minutes a few days ago, the old links didn't work, so we had to go LydiaCornell.com and get a new URL for the same thread. My guess is that Mike just kept hitting "refresh" over and over and over again.
ReplyDeletethey can not correctally cite history...and have to look up some reichwingnut who will assert the history is a lie like the reichwingnuts who try to defend Hitler by saying the holocaust did not happen...even though even Eisenhower admitted it did..and witnessed some of the camps..
ReplyDeleteOr they lie about how many times the US government under repug administrations destroyed democracies to put in place dictators so their repug industrial friends can rip off the country they just denied democracy from
See TT is still with out any mistakes..because repugs never admit any
ReplyDeleteBut soon another troll will just happen to stroll in here and change the subject again
ReplyDeleteBecause the truth like the war in Afghanistan has simply been mismanaged, and Rumsfeld has let the Taliban re-emerge...just as the Jihad fighters were able to do against the Soviets in the 80's
ReplyDeleteAnd Iraq is not a victory for Bush but a civil war...and a fiasco if your there
ReplyDeleteAnd with all the borrowing Bush has done fron China, Japan, and the Saudi's ..they now must devalue the dollar, against those currencies, sort of what Germany did to repay the WW1 war reparations.
ReplyDeleteBut another way to say devalue a dollar is inflate prices for foriegn goods like those walmart imports from China....
And the trolls have no come backs so they attack the messanger...instead fo dealing with the message...BUSH BLEW IT BIG TIME..
ReplyDeleteMILITARILY
ECONOMICALLY
ENVIROMENTALY
just as he bankrupted three businesses...and had the sec hide his failures when daddy was pResident
Worf, I've admitted being wrong once or twice on this very blog. I'm not going t6 waste time track those intances down. This policy works very well in "real life" as well.
ReplyDeleteAs far I can tell, Worf, all posts by Tall Texan were from me. Perhaps hanging out here has encourged a less than civil discourse. I will have to work on that, despite all the threats and foul language found elsewhere on this site.
Worfeus did you read what I posted yesterday?
ReplyDeleteWhy can't you admit one mistake here and now with out looking it up...no better than your furher..you need to have your mistakes prescreened for political points eh?
ReplyDeleteWorf, like I said before, I respect your right to privacy, and in light of that there are some things YOU NEED TO KNOW, that I cant say on here, we need to find another private message board, blog what ever where we can talk privately, because there are some things I need to ask you as well
ReplyDeleteCNN is reporting the military is looking at evacuating US citizens from Lebanon, which means they think things are gonna get worse there....

If He tarries, I will just have time to get my hair and nails done (you know let all I come into contact with know of my Bridegroom and what He has/will do). So i am all spiffied up for Him when He does arrive to take me home. No disappointment, just a few last minute details to take care of to be more pleasing to look at.
