Mudville Gazette: It actually pisses me off when I look at his attitude past and present towards military and law enforcement and the people he chose to surround himself with including people that bombed the Pentagon and America haters and now he's the Commander in Chief. My only hope is that as Commander in Chief he finally realizes what the military does every day, how important they are, how courageous they are, and recognize the wonderful individuals in the armed forces and that he will compare them with the f...ing idiots like Ayers, Wright, Jones, and other Che and Mao lovers that theorize about war, justice,and life while never having to actually fight for it.

[sdjewishworld] Has U.S. eliminated Israel's qualitative edge over possible Arab ...: The U.S. administration certifies that each specific arms sale to each individual Arab country will not upset the balance in the region and Israel generally retains the right to buy more of almost anything it needs (see exceptions on Apache helicopters and the F-35 next generation fighter coming in Part II of this report). But Israel does not have unlimited resources-if the Saudis have about 153 American F-15 fighter jets of various types and six Eurofighter Typhoons (as it does), and then signs a deal for 71 more Typhoons (as it did), how does Israel compete when the Obama Administration announces 24 more F-16s for Egypt and 24 additional F-16s for Morocco (as it did)?

[Crooks and Liars] Morning Joe: Obama Would Have Voted For Iraq Invasion If He Was In ...: One of Obama's biggest problems is explaining to the American public why he befriended a terrorist named Bill Ayers who bombed the Pentagon. That is an extremely negative unsavory association for a black man named Hussein who aspires to .

All the above would insure an ambitious woman of $50,000 - $60,000 dollars a year in hush money.

[Karachi Metblogs] The Colonial Present - Weekly Readers Club Meeting on 22nd Jan ...: Description: In this powerful and passionate critique of the “war on terror” in Afghanistan, Palestine, and Iraq, Derek Gregory traces the long history of British and American involvements in the Middle East. He argues that the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11 activated a series of political and cultural responses that mapped a profoundly colonial perimeter of power.

Mudville Gazette: Alarmed that the disqualification of hundreds of candidates from upcoming parliamentary elections threatens to derail Iraq's fledgling democracy, the Obama administration is dispatching Vice President Biden in hopes of defusing the looming political crisis. The expected visit showcases U.S. concerns that the decision to bar 511 candidates - the most prominent of whom are Sunni Arabs - could stoke sectarian violence and undermine elections as the U.S. military prepares to significantly reduce its presence here.

[Whatanews4u.Sports] BBC - Newsnight: From the web team: Wednesday 20 January 2010: one thing that appeared from the questions was the claim the uk got a special relationship with the usa because they joined they war looks a bit hollow given the current relationship the USA now has with Germany and France who opposed the war. Which suggests the Uk would have been no worse off in terms of usa if they too had opposed the war or insisted on a second resolution?

We need other legislation that helps those less fortunate in our country.

[Islamic Awakening Forums] State-Sponsored Terror: British and American Black Ops in Iraq: On October 4, 2005, it was reported by the Sydney Morning Herald that, "The FBI's counterterrorism unit has launched a broad investigation of US-based theft rings after discovering some vehicles used in deadly car bombings in Iraq, including attacks that killed US troops and Iraqi civilians, were probably stolen in the United States, according to senior US Government officials." Further, "The inquiry began after coalition troops raided a Falluja bomb factory last November and found a Texas-registered four-wheel-drive being prepared for a bombing mission. Investigators said there were several other cases where vehicles evidently stolen in the US wound up in Syria or other Middle Eastern countries and ultimately in the hands of Iraqi insurgent groups, including al-Qaeda in Iraq."[18]

Mudville Gazette: The Army stopped accepting applications for the program last week, officials said Thursday, because the Pentagon had not completed a review required to keep the recruitment going. The program, which started as a pilot in February, allowed recruiters to enlist immigrants, most of them in the Army, with special language or medical skills who are in this country on temporary visas.

[Simple Thoughts - Java and Web Blog] Pentagon: Iraqi insurgents intercepted US spy videos from Predator ...: LONDON - Islamic terrorists have been able to hack into CIA state-of-the-art Predator drones with the help of just a 25.95 dollar off-the-shelf software, raising fears of remote control operated unmanned crafts being taken over and used against British and American targets. While the insurgents were not able to control the 20 million dollar aircraft with their latest hacking techniques, they could watch live video feeds beamed back to US control stations through their electronic "eyeballs", The Times reports.

[The Weekly Adventures of an Ordinary Girl] The Weekly Adventures of an Ordinary Girl: Viva La Revoluction!: But I hope after all of this - after Korea, Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Macarthy era, the 80's the first decade of the 21st century (just to name a few things) - that one day someone will be braver than me, that they will stand tall and say "enough it enough" and they will represent the 98% of this country that doesn't own Walmart.

Mudville Gazette: But I opened this discussion with sometimes I think we can win the war, and gave one of the best examples I've seen lately of why: it's less because of what Major Gant wrote (hardly new, it's how we defeated the Taliban in the first place) and more that others in that same bureaucracy encountered an unconventional idea that an unconventional man proposed in an unconventional forum, plucked him from the relentless tide that would have sent him elsewhere, and dropped him instead where he was needed most.
