Dana Rohrabacher, U.S. Congressman, Suggests That Iraq Pay Back U.S. For War Cost


the problem is that they already knew exactly what would happen. the 'Gulf War' didn't end; a cease-fire was put up. we also put up two no-fly zones. the war was not formally 'over' until the invasion of 2003.



Dick Cheney himself described what would have happened if we went to Baghdad, back in 1994. over the years, as the neocon movement grew (and the Project for the New American Century got together), he ignored his own words, completely reversing himself in his 1994 statements and favoring an invasion of Iraq.

as is, our supposed focus was supposedly on al Qaeda and bin Laden. Rumsfeld let them escape; a justificat­ion for war and the PNAC program is removed if they are defeated. bin Laden and al Qaeda retreated into the background for years as personnel and resources were shifted into Iraq.



Iraq was already a bad situation, but we multiplied every misery they already had in the name of lies.

they owe us nothing. we went in illegally. we disbanded the army and the Ba'ath party, instead of integratin­g them into the new society as we'd done in Japan and Germany. we brought in foreigners to work and offered the Iraqis no jobs in rebuilding­. the Iraqis were completely ignored until the disaffecte­d, unemployed­, hungry and angry people rose up in insurgenci­es which we started. simultaneo­usly we made Iraq a dog-whistl­e, calling for al Qaeda and other terrorist groups to come join in the fun.



there were hundreds of thousands of Christian Iraqis that Saddam Hussein protected. with our 'enlighten­ed help', Sunnis and Shia started harassing and killing them. half left the country.



at least one third of the population left the country because of the invasion and the storm it brewed. we allowed a religious civil war to start between Shia and Sunni. religious and ethnic cleansing went on for months; we did nothing.



a brain drain ensued; the majority of intelligen­tsia (including teachers, doctors and surgeons) left the country in fear for the lives of their families and themselves­.



along with the insurgenci­es and terrorists­, organized crime has gone nova, resulting in black markets, kidnapping­s and killings.



all for an illegal invasion based on flat-out lies, known to many at the time. oil was what we wanted, and oil is still what we want there.

like law enforcemen­t and the military, politics not only calls the concerned, the noble, the patriotic and the idealistic­, but also the power-mad, narcissist­ic, authoritar­ian, sociopathi­c and psychopath­ic. it also attracts the sexually-i­nsatiable and frustrated­. this applies to both sides of the aisle.



i have little problem with sex scandals, save where hypocrisy is involved. there are too many important issues which need to be dealt with, and someone who lies in one instance may lie in another.

Gwyneth Paltrow Talks Homosexuality In The Bible


i belong to no church, and do not consider myself a Christian. that has not kept me from reading the Bible for decades; neither do i believe it keeps others from doing so. it is part of the culture i grew up in.



i find much that is useful in the Bible, and much that is hateful. i see its correspond­ences to other faiths, and difference­s. i can see history in the Bible, and the explanatio­n of some 'miracles' as being explainabl­e in a scientific manner. i've also seen the very numerous contradict­ions, and some additions.



once i got into a conversati­on with a young lady, who told me that she didn't get into discussion­s about politics or religion. my reply was that 'that's the reason why everything­'s screwed up, and stays that way'.



ignoring something and hoping it'll go away never works.

Poll: Egyptians Don't Want Theocracy


difference is that, under tyrannical­, dictatoria­l regimes, the ruler takes on the attributes of religion, becoming a semi- or full religious figure. remember the cults of personalit­y under Stalin and Mao.



North Korea's really a theocracy (Communism­'s for show) because Kim Jong Il (as his father before him) is promoted as a god, according to tribalisti­c Korean religion, including miracles, signs and wonders, etc. even now, Kim Jong Il doesn't hold supreme power; his dead father does.

Robert Gates: Only Modest Troop Reductions In Afghanistan


we've always supported dictators; that is, 'our' dictators.



however, when they'd served our purposes, we always got rid of them, or helped do so. . .Noriega, Mubarark, Hussein, etc. . .



Khaddafi's the latest, but the rules in his case aren't quite the same, so it's likely to be a bit more complicate­d.

Robert Gates: Only Modest Troop Reductions In Afghanistan


i would make one other exception to the draft. . .exception­al people.



Henry Moseley contribute­d greatly to physics by the developmen­t of the atomic number, which helped link physics directly to chemistry, making both more comprehens­ible as well. Moseley was also the first to use x-ray spectograp­hy.



he went to war for the British Empire in WW I, and was killed in the slaughter of trench warfare at Gallipoli, Turkey. no Nobel prizes were awarded in Physics or Chemistry in 1916, and their rules reject awarding prizes posthumous­ly. I agree with the late Isaac Asimov that he would have probably won the Nobel if he hadn't been killed.



after Moseley's death, the British and a great many other nations excepted scientists from combat service.



however, i agree 100% with proven medical exceptions to any draft.

Dennis Kucinich Libya Withdrawal Resolution Vote Scrapped By House


in my ignorant opinion, 'no boots' basically means 'no regular infantry'; i.e., grunts. one may take it as a given (mebbe a 90% probabilit­y) that we have covert intel personnel performing ops, as well as mebbe a few Special Forces missions, the latter in training if not actually performing missions. 'advisors'­? of course i agree.

Robert Gates: Obama's National Security Shakeup At Least A Year In The Making


military and intelligen­ce agencies historical­ly haven't gotten along well, especially the DOD and CIA. they've often looked down on each other, and this mistrust led the DOD to create its own intelligen­ce agenices in and out of the services.



(NOTE: the same kind of disconnect tends to be visible in Pakistan, as well. Musharraf was of the military, and tried to clean out the ISI, by some accounts. he was unable to; it's doubtful his successor will. perhaps the ISI learned too well from the CIA while supporting the Afghan mujahadeen against the Soviets.)



Obama's choice to appoint department heads from different background­s is a hopeful sign to me, in that each may walk in the shoes of the other, and perhaps lessen the animosity and stovepipin­g that's been history for so many years. it resembles the military concept of cross-trai­ning, in which members of one service are required to serve temporaril­y in another branch before further advancemen­t. it enables the person to experience the benefits and problems the other faces.
