[Fog City Journal] Iraq and the Problem of Peak Oil | Fog City Journal: President Bush made a high profile trip to the region earlier in the year, and the US Pentagon has signed military basing agreements with two small strategic islands, Principe and San Tome, insuring a military presence should anything threaten the flow of oil across the Atlantic. Yet, while the volume of oil is important, it also is hardly a new Saudi Arabia.

[Dispatches from Iraq] Dispatches from Iraq: The Airport Road: This daily routine of carrying a loaded weapon in the “Red Zone” is a reminder of how this is a dangerous place. Yes,fewer attacks take place, though at tonight’s dinner back at a Green Zone mess hall, the sirens rang and a voice over the loud speaker asked everyone to “duck and cover” and to stay away from windows (fortunately, it was a false alarm).

[RAW WEALTH] Think Again: Barack Obama and the War on Terror: A misconceived "war on terror" has stoked Americans' nightmares since Sept. 11, 2001, and that will in all likelihood continue.

[Dandelion Salad] Anti-war protests hit Washington + March on the Pentagon Rally ...: Although I am pleased to see that there was a protest against the inexcusable War in Iraq, in Washington on Saturday March 21, 2009, by hundreds of participants I am confused by the short supply of those who attended. Perhaps my coming from the 60’s anti-war protests against Vietnam, which were frequent and attended in the thousands, and covered extensively by the media, gives me this measurement of comparison, but trust me when I tell you that the small numbers of protesters is nothing less than alarming.

[The Mahablog] The Mahablog » Reassurance on Iraq: Eric Prince resigned as CEO of Xe…I think that’s a good indication that the Iraqi teat has run dry for paramilitary contractors, although they’ll have till 2011 to be fully weaned. And I think the concept of farming out military responsibilities to corporate gluttons so they could feast at the public trough ended with the Bush administration.

[The Left Coaster] The Left Coaster: 19 Months Can Be A Long Time: Currently there is a pathetic acceptance evolution on American employment of torture and how to move forward, yet even if we resolved that perfectly we’d still be a people with good moral standing as it continually blew apart Afghan women and children at weddings with 1,000 ordnance from the heavens. Can we really be a great country pulling that little trick?

[TalkLeft] Obama as Muhammad Ali? - TalkLeft: The Politics Of Crime: He also compared Obama with "Janus, the two-faced god" of Roman mythology. He called him "silver tongued" and a "thespian" and "the man in love with the microphone."

[United States Senator John Cornyn, Texas] United States Senator John Cornyn, Texas :: For The Press: Last month, I visited a recruiting station in Houston to meet with recruiters from this battalion and hear from them directly about their recruiting experiences and daily challenges. BG Turner joined me and updated me on actions taken by the Army as a result of his investigation.

[Brad Warthen's Blog] Brad Warthen's Blog: Emanuel's got dead eyes -- but let's look at ...: The main issue on the mind of the electorate was the war in Iraq, and public opinion had moved so far in opposition to that war that the Democratic leadership in the House was pushed to proclaim that it would cut off funding for the war if Democrats won control of Congress. Well, the outcome was that Democrats did win control, but since the candidates that Emanuel picked were more conservative and militarist than the mainstream of the Party, they were not reliable allies when it came to voting against war funding.

I'm helping the BBC make this into a TV segment!

[The Radical Press] The Radical Press » Blog Archive » Show-down at the Kol Shofar ...: I take every experience in a positive light, as a chance to learn something, and this experience provided a stunning but beautifully telling insight into attitudes which shed disconcerting light on the problem we thought we would be able to discuss in a civilized way: the dynamics behind the slaughter of ”˜non-Jewish’ Palestinians, for the ”˜security’ of an expressly ”˜Jewish’ state relentlessly forcing its Zionist supremacy into a multi-ethnic region - much as we have now found Kol Shofar (inadvertently?) doing to our decent, friendly neighborhood in Tiburon. It was all too easy to see: if we - perfectly respectable neighbors of Kol Shofar - and even a member of the Congregation - could be summarily ejected - with no word other than convincing threats of instant violence - simply because we did not suit an incredibly arrogant ethnic profile - it is very easy to see how this alien behavior would be applied to the Palestinians who are similarly deemed unfit for human treatment and, unlike us, have no protection at all, in the areas controlled by the same international organizations that show such hostile contempt for American values and the local community, right here in Tiburon.

Both are member organizations of United for Peace and Justice (UFPJ) anti-war coalition, which is led by Leslie Cagan, a longtime committed socialist who aligns her politics with those of Fidel Castro’s Communist Cuba.

He talked about reconciliation without seeming overly wimpy and he kept his message on point about hope and the future and “twenty-first century solutions.” He made a wise choice too, in not pursuing the John Edwards “Two Americas” angle and gunning for the rich and for Wall Street.

[Roland S Martin] Roland S Martin » Blog Archive » Listen to Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s ...: Prior to Abraham Lincoln, the government in this country said it was legal to hold African in slavery in perpetuity…when Lincoln got in office, the government changed. (2) Prior to the Civil Rights and equal accommodation laws of the government in this country, there was backed segregation by the country, legal discrimination by the government, prohibited blacks from voting by the government, you had to eat and sit in separate places by the government, you had sit in different places from white folks because the government said so, and you had to buried in a separate cemetery .

[POLITICO Top Stories] Ben Smith's Blog - Politico.com: And the Clinton spin--i.e., that he was referring to the pollsters--doesn't make a lot of sense: they are talking about Clinton being ahead 42-40 in the Indiana poll--an unexpected result--and Kantor is then going to call the pollsters "sh*t"? As I have said before, this truly is a non-story, until the Clinton maching starts lying about it.
