[derricklittles] Colonel Boyd on Limited War and Iraq Victory « derricklittles: If the guerillas and insurgents tactics and disruptions no longer prevail maybe they will change sides to control the government through it’s legitimate process. But if they do and turn it upside down again, then the only way to slow them down happens is to import our onerous, rules, unbelievable bureaucracy and some lawyers to round out a system that will protect the people by slowing down the new government to a snails pace and prevent the government from moving to fast to squash those hard earned freedoms, once again paid for by American Blood.

[Mona Styr] Drug encyclopedia - A Challenge to the Reputation of a Nation: Bush would follow suit, jettisoning the Geneva Law, declaring that the detainees, not “Prisoners of War”, but rather that they were “Illegal Enemy Combatants” who would in any case, be treated humanely. Sadly, this whole mess would make Colin Powell’s continued participation in the Bush Administration, a permanent scar on his life-long service to his country.

[Big Government] » Does Obama Want to Destroy America? Yes, But”¦ - Big Government: that Obama has lived abroad, has enough money to go where ever he feels suits his desires, and is still young enough and overly abitious enough to try to take on more, from a larger, more powerful platform, such as the UN, A-la Al Gore. This man is never going to go away, like the rest of the former Dem POTUS's, but he's much more likely to make efforts to continue to control America in Al's (world government) template.

[Slugger O'Toole] Ulster leaders' debate: Still stuck in reverse”¦ « Slugger O'Toole: Mick you are far too kind to them all, when you consider that this is supposed to be an election battle then all four party leaders should be asked to resign by their own membership, I still can’t decide who the biggest loser was on the night, I’m not sure if it was Ritchie for the SDLP or Dougal for UTV because both were equally lightweight and just as equally dire, but the strange thing is that everyone knew before either were given their positions, that both would be absolutely bloody awful so questions must be asked both of the SDLP membership and UTV management!

[Khaled Hosseini] 2007 Recap...and into a New Year (Khaled Hosseini): Whereas before, the first thing that would come to me when I heard of Afghanistan was one of aversion, thinking that it was a very troubled country filled with terrorists (a place which I can almost compare with the province of Basilan in the southern part of my country, the Philippines, the lair of the Abu Sayyaf Group which has been bringing terror to us). And even if recently a fellow Filipina was killed by a suicide bomber in a hotel in Kabul, I know better now: Afghanistan is a beautiful country where the men and women and children are just like the men and women and children everywhere else: they live, they love, they care, they cry, they laugh, they make mistakes and learn from them, they struggle, they hope for the best.

[The Grand Inquisitor] Iran: So Are They Gonna Get The Bomb? « The Grand Inquisitor: As far as the US and Israel are concerned, there is no question that Iran is seeking to develop nuclear weapons, although rather pointedly, they have yet to present any evidence that this is the case.  Amid the atmosphere of mutual distrust and recrimination, it appears  likely that the opposing parties will leave the conference in much the same stance that they went in: deadlocked over the issue of Iran’s uranium enrichment and firmly convinced that there is no common point of consensus.
