[The Carpetbagger Report] Quite a fiscal legacy: As the clock starts to run out on Bush’s presidency, we know, of course, that the opposite is true. Global warming, the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, a weak economy ”¦ not only is Bush passing monumental problems onto his .
[Rupee News: Recording History, Narrating Archives, Strategic Vision, Profound Analysis, Unique ideas] “The Forgotten War” for ingrates! Abused allies for Pakistanis: While John McCain and Barack Obama engage in a pseudodebate about Iraq-where things are going relatively well, and both candidates will probably end up pursuing similar courses-the real emerging crisis is in Pakistan. And that is where no coherent U.S. policy exists, nor is there even a debate occurring.
[onepointoh!] Why are Obama and McCain still neck and neck?: McCain has used this to his strength and has argued that while talking about the mistake of going to war in Iraq is yesterday’s news, he presented the country with a solution (the famed surge) that though unpopular was highly successful. McCain therefore, seems to suggest that he is not wary of taking decisions that are unpopular but in national interest, rather than pander to the audience he is addressing.
[Mideast Dispatch Archive] Israelis’ Obama skepticism (& McCain on Israeli TV last night: I ...: Since securing the nomination less than eight weeks ago, Obama has been doing so much flip-flopping on a range of domestic and foreign policy issues – including public campaign financing, NAFTA, warrantless wiretaps, unconditional talks with Ahmadinejad, flag pins, gun control, and so on – that Charles Krauthammer of The Washington Post, one of the few mainstream media commentators to be tough on Obama, wrote this month that “by the time he’s finished, Obama will have made the Clintons look scrupulous.”
[Canadian Dimension Blog] Noam Chomsky Interviewed by Vincent Navarro: For example, when his national security strategy was announced in September 2002, calling for preventive war, virtually announcing a war in Iraq, immediately, within weeks, there was a major article in Foreign Affairs (the main establishment journal) condemning what they called the New Imperial Grand Strategy - not on principle, but because it would be harmful to the United States. And there has been a lot of criticism of the Bush administration as extremist, if not at the far extreme of radical nationalism, and McCain is probably in the same territory.
[Tom Hull] Book Alert: Marc Gerstein/Michael Ellsberg: Flirting With Disaster: Why Accidents Are Rarely Accidental (2008, Union Square Press): Examples include Chernobyl and Katrina, Vioxx, the Iraq War, Arthur Andersen/Enron, the 1994 Mexican peso crisis, a half dozen more. Gerstein's a management consultant.
[Right Wing Nut House] McCAIN IS TOO OLD TO BE PRESIDENT: As an unrepentant lefty, against the war from the start, I’m relieved to see Obama resist the knee-jerk-get-out crowd. If we get out without Iraqi agreement and too soon, it would be a disaster in a myriad of ways.
[brothersjudd Blog] CIRCLE THE BLACK HELICOPTERS:: The Guardian reported last week that the British, who turned on Tony Blair after he tied himself to President Bush’s mast and who generally disapprove of the Iraq War, prefer Obama over John McCain by 53 percent to 11. (The remaining 36 percent expressed no opinion.) In Germany, according to the Telegraph, the figures are even more stark, with Obama attracting 67 percent support to McCain’s 6.
[Dans Blog] book reviews by Dr. Daniel Pipes...: But when Barzani offered the PKK shelter in northern Iraq, the group remained beyond reach, allowing it to plan and launch a full-scale guerilla war against Turkey. Marcus concludes that the group's continued survival in Turkey is .
[Largehearted Boy] Why Obama, by Alina Simone: Behind the strong ideological ”˜axis of evil’ justifications for the war in Iraq, and despite the sad headshaking on the part of Republicans over the necessity of running up the largest deficit (in absolute terms) in history, there is another motive here. The Republicans, through a combination of tax cuts and war spending, are driving up the deficit in order to curb future government spending and ultimately reduce and retire existing ”˜entitlement’ programs like social security.
[Allen L Roland's Radio Weblog] AMERICA'S MOST DANGEROUS CRIMINAL / DICK CHENEY: As the disaster has unfolded in Iraq, he has continued to insist against all evidence that Saddam possessed weapons of mass destruction, that the dictator was aiding Al Qaeda, that nothing the Bush administration has done was a mistake. Those who have known him over the years remain astounded by what they describe as his almost autistic indifference to the thoughts and feelings of others.
[The TIW Blog] RUSH: Barry Dunham Rips America in Berlin: WOLFFE: We’ve seen him going through these with leaders and press conferences. But clearly what he’s accomplished is that image: the giant crowd between the Victory Column and the Brandenburg Gate and a crowd waving American flags. I mean, when you contrast that with what we’ve seen with President Bush, generating business crowds protesting against his big presence, protesting against the war; that’s really the image he is trying to project to Americans saying, “You can vote for me and I will unite the world, be a popular president,”
[Rupee News: Recording History, Narrating Archives, Strategic Vision, Profound Analysis, Unique ideas] Obama’s brains-Six Brzezinskis: The 1980 Carter Doctrine ”” that the US was determined to dominate the Persian Gulf ”” is at the root of the first Gulf War, of the present Iraq war, and of the possible war on Iran. Brzezinski’s grandiose schemes of world transformation caused a renewal of the Cold War and gave birth to Al-Qaeda, and without Soviet restraint the results could easily have been far more tragic than they turned out to be.
