We may have unity as India, Pakistan the US, the world realize their survival depends on it!

US warns of Pakistan security threat

Holbrooke: India, Pakistan, US face same threat

US Envoy Reaches Out to Iran in Afghan Visit

'Taliban a Common Threat to India, US and Pak'

I find it interesting or rather provocative that the Taliban has announced a 10-day ceasefire in Swat valley to facilitate the implementation of Shariah law in the region. It becomes more obvious every day that the Taliban is in charge not the Pakistani Government, the Afghan Government and certainly not us!

Afghans to join US-led review of war policy and tactics Gee what a unique idea asking a country what is best for them. How nice of us!

Afghanistan Is A Failed State, But Not Beyond Saving

Iraq is a failed State thanks to Bush Everything Bush interfered with has failed and yea Afghanistan is a failed State. At least as how we envision it as long as it differs from the one the Taliban wants. I am sick of saying in every regard today, This is just Beginning!

Germany appoints special Afghanistan envoy

Germany names special envoy for Pakistan

This is all well and good but it should have been done from day one with the Bush mis Administration instead of F U my way or the highway bullying and instigation resulting only in a furtherance of war. I am afraid at this point it is a day late and a dollar short. This is way beyond control!

Karzai says Afghans not in same mood as six years ago

No kidding, you think? You think they are any different from average peace loving Americans or anyone else in the world! Bush had the perfect opportunity to unite the entire world after the dissolution of the USSR instead he tried to divide and dominate it. He and his policies are solely responsible for the tenuous position we find ourselves in today! We are rapidly running out of time. Bush guaranteed the loss of Afghanistan first by the attack then enforced it by the needless attack on Iraq to get into the middle east to help Israel establish a new middle east order! He got away with bragging about the success of Iraq because of him and the surge but never mentioned Afghanistan was failing during the interim!

Now along with the disorder Bush created around the world and the financial crisis he created for America and the world Obama will also have to deal with the loss in Afghanistan that is now known as Obama's Vietnam! What a friggen future bush has created for us, Obama, and the world before he escaped to Crawford! The entire world better unify and quick!

The shit is going to hit the fan around the world and right here real quick as more lose their jobs and houses and there is no food. I guarantee martial law will be necessary President Obama or not. It seems like the entire world is facing that with the world wide economic collapse Greenspan engineered for Bush. We took the world down with the Great Depression and we are taking it down with this the second great Depression.

This will dwarf the Great Depression in length and breadth regardless of what the so called experts say about the conditions. With a global economy and a world population allowed to grow uncontrollably because of our prosperity we are in much more trouble! I have said it for years but there will be total chaos here and around the world regardless and Bush will be safe nowhere even in his escape in Paraguay. There will be no safe place for him! He thinks the world will vindicate him. I'll vindicate him!

President Obama looks ahead but now is time to look back first!

With the passing of his stimulus bill the work now begins but first a look back at the history we are following!
Investors Look to Obama Mortgage Plan

Obama Looks to Next Steps in Recovery Plan

Time for a timeout on programs

Stimulus Bill Rekindles New Deal Debate
The First 100 Days: Franklin Roosevelt Pioneered the 100-Day Concept

Use Stimulus Funds Wisely This makes me think of so many parallels! We keep hearing daily of comparisons to President Lincoln and now we keep hearing also comparisons to President Roosevelt in 1932! Being compared to two of the best in two of our most trying times makes me think that superstition works in threes. Also that President Obama constantly says no one wants to be President during good times and I do disagree with him.

However he is right that you want to be President during trying times as you can accomplish much! With the two Presidents he is most often compared too having proven that true I have to hope Obama proves things happen in threes and also succeeds. First though he must beat down the divisive disinformation Republican Juggernaut. Then there are so many comparisons to FDR and 1932 that President Obama would be wise to step back regroup and look at the lessons learned by President Roosevelt.

As usual there are two schools of thought and neither one is right in itself, the two are part of the whole"the new deal and WW2". Once again a meld of the two I am afraid is what worked to put an end to the Great Depression. The right wants to argue that the new deal did not work but stop the childish games, it did! President Obama rightly said he inherited the most dire economic crisis since the Great Depression and pundits of the right say that is bunk. I am sick of the damn political games. Make believe the country and the world matters not your party. This is no damn picnic!

In reality this is much worse because of the time in our and the planets life cycle this is occurring. Because of unprecedented food supplies and prosperity the worlds population has grown to bursting. In good times the prosperous of the planet were strapped and unable to feed the needy of the world. The poor are the first ones to feel the strain of economic stress and they are starving in greater numbers than ever and it will get much worse.

At the current time here in the United States millions have lost their homes and their jobs but as of yet are still able to eat though sometimes with help. It is up to Obama to learn the lessons of the Great Depression and do this right before we suffer like the worlds poor. What stinks is to succeed we must first fight the lying right and hope the masses realize once again they are the enemies to our successful move into the future!

First another reminder that it was the Republicans that were in power the last time we had a crisis like this and it was the Democrats that fixed it but enough of that! I keep hearing from the right the new deal did not work and that WW2 is what put an end to the Great Depression. That is only half true! W e know of course that President Obama is modeling his economic recovery plan after FDR's New Deal and I think he has the right idea putting Americans back to work and rebuilding our infrastructure that was allowed to fail under Bush.

The new Deal did work! Jobs climbed steadily until they relapsed in 1937. That was only normal. Just look at something you may not understand but can comprehend and that is the stock market. It may be obvious which way it is going to go but it ebbs and flows until it follows the direction it is going. The same with FDR's new deal and it will be the same with Obama's new deal. It is not going to right over night and it is not going to just get better without any corrections.

During the great depression there were ebbs and flows but the new deal did work, it did rebuild the country and it did put people back to work just like Obama's plan will pork and all if the right lets it. With that said, the other school of thought that WW2 is what got us out of the depression, yes it brought it to an absolute end and allowed us three decades of prosperity before we had a relapse in the 70s. This is a little more than a relapse. This is the second greatest depression and we have to hope President Obama is allowed to work his magic as I do not want to see this Republican mess too to have to depend on a war, WW3 to bring the worlds economic crisis to rest!!

The Stimulus Bill was a defeat for our form of Government, our Democracy, and our future!

Stimulus Passage called 'Major Milestone'






Five Top Fears (Other Than al Qaeda) of US Spy Agencies The economic crisis around the world is on the top of their list but they better revise or we are all screwed. The two Party system is proving to be our biggest enemy. They better put Partisanship on the top of their list and do something about it or we and the entire world are screwed!

Obama Scores Early Victory of Historic Proportions

In reality The Stimulus Bill was a defeat for our form of Government, our Democracy, and our future!
Senate OKs $787 billion stimulus bill

Obama planning ambitious road ahead

Passing the Bill was no success! It was yet another failure for our form of Government and the future of America and average Americans. I understand when you add in the interest it is 1.2 trillion and we borrowed it from China, the EU, and other countries of course. I don't know if we should thank them or they should thank us. With them getting the most benefit from producing our goods thus putting their people to work and benefiting their economy I think us going bankrupt means they should thank us!

After watching the sorry display in the House and the Senate and seeing all the pork that was put into the bill along with the fact that despite President Obama's efforts to make passing the Bill Bipartisan it was a porky partisan fiasco! This is not the time to declare victory and take a road trip. It is time to out the fools in both party's! That was a disgusting display of making believe average Americans and our America was the focus and showing from beginning to end what I keep saying and that is that we do not matter.

It is all about the party's period! Short-Circuiting Bipartisanship Is Nothing New for Congress

I am sick to see that even President Obama does not matter! He better wake up and recognize that undeniable fact! He is going around the country telling people how much he cares and that he is going to do the right thing for them. He wants too and he thinks he will but Democrats are not on his side. They want to do the right thing for the party period. I have been sickened by Pelosi since she became speaker of the House. She talks a good game and then consistently folds her hand and declares victory for average Americans and our country. I am sick by her performance and refuse to believe she is still speaker of the House. Please write her and voice your disgust

With a third of that package going to tax cuts which in itself peeves me because if they really want money back in your hands screw the stupid worthless tax cuts and give the people cash they can spend on what they know they need to survive. A tax cut is worthless if you do not have a job a place to live or food to eat! Knowing school construction was cut, State funding was cut and VA needs to say the least this was no victory!

I will refrain from being graphic but after watching the total Partisanship and lack of concern for average Americans and our America and future Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid (let him know how you feel too! His email and Minority Leader John Boehner give him a piece of your mind too Anyway the three of them deserve the same treatment Mussolini got by Italian citizens after WW2!

This so called successful stimulus Bill will fail like all the rest as they are all about the 2 Party's and furthering them and their selfish interests not average Americans and theirs. As I keep saying this is just beginning and will dwarf the Great Depression in length and scope. If President Obama really wants to help average Americans and our and America's future he better get his enforcer Rahm Emanuel on the job before it is too late if it is not already!

At the expense of the country and our future the Republican goal is not Bipartisanship and seeing President Obama succeed for our future. Their goal is enforced Partisanship and seeing Obama fail for their future. Getting back in power is all they care about! President Obama better wake up and realize how critical it is that like it or not, we have Bipartisanship at this dire time. Normally I think you need a healthy dose of Partisanship to keep the ship we call America on course.
partisanship can be a good thing

However Not after the mess President Bush made of things. If we are too have any chance at a future both party's will be needed to join forces not to fight as they continue to do. The world seems to be largely cooperating with President Obama as they know how critical it is to cooperate after the mess Bush made of the world! Our own Politicians do not get it! They continue to play their childish games and it is President Obama and average Americans and the entire world who will pay for it when the Republicans succeed in painting President Obama as a failure! America, the world, and our future is in ICU and our condition is critical damn it! Unite our childish leaders to put America first or else!

With Global economic collapse now our Biggest threat, Russia having a role in the Missile Defense Shield is Huge, Huge!

With our new biggest threat being the Global economic crisis which may have at least one positive impact and that is to bring the world together after Bush's efforts to divide and conquer it!
Global Economy Top Threat to US, Spy Chief Says

Obama seen likely to hedge on missile defense

US says Russia could have role in missile shield in Europe

Polish-Russian relations "unblocked" says Poland's foreign minister Russia taking a step back wanting to talk and willing to compromise is Huge, Huge!

Poland wants enhanced military commitment from US

This is huge! I just went back over my years of writing on Bush using the missile shield to instigate his Forever war and this story from 7/5/07 pretty much sums up the dire situation Bush created with the missile defense shield and Putin's very doable Idea!

We have had an ongoing discussion of the missile defense system as events between Russia and Bush change step by step. There were many as events were moving ever rapidly towards the desired end of open confrontation. I said People must see by now what is happening hear and the way this to will end. I have heard many opinions varying from them being useless to the point that even if they had a 99% success ratio that against a limited attack it would ensure mutual destruction.

It is serving the purpose I thought which was to instigate future confrontation so Bush could progress with his new world order. I have been trying to get people to realize that Bush is following the 19th century Russian Doctrine of destruction where you must break down existing order before you can replace it with your new order. That means war! http://www.anaveragepatriot.com/downloads/Manuscript2.pdf

Certainly everyone must see what has occurred around the world. Bush will not stop. Anyway, Putin did make another brilliant move but Bush will ignore it amidst threats that Russia will move its missiles to the Polish Chezh borders.An antiterrorism bond forged after the Sept. 11 attacks has been chipped at repeatedly. Disputes developed over the Iraq war, missile defense plans, the fate of democracy in Russia, NATO expansion to Russia's doorstep and sniping over what each side views as meddling in former Soviet republics. look at the list! I am sure we can go on and on and on but every single one of those problems is caused by little Georgie.

At a summit last month of world economic powers, Putin surprised Bush by proposing that the system instead use an old Soviet-era radar facility in Azerbaijan instead of the Czech and Polish sites. It is an idea that US officials do not want to reject outright. But they have concluded it would not work as a substitute, only perhaps as an early warning supplemental component. At the lobster summit Putin dropped a couple more surprises on Bush. He said flat out that he did not want the systems in Poland and Czechoslovakia but wanted them somewhere that was friendlier to Russia. That makes sense! He suggested that the missile defense systems be housed on Russian soil. Wow, that is provocative but that sounds vaguely familiar to me? Anyway Putin proposed transforming U.S. plans for an Eastern European missile shield into a broader system that would incorporate a radar system in southern Russia and bring more European nations into the decision-making process.

I think that is a great idea and once again puts Bush on the spot. My thought is that all along Putin has out played Bush in this Political gamesmanship as Putin points out that, that would put the relationship between our two countries on an entirely new level. Personally I like that idea and if it was wanted then it is possible. I have to ask why is Bush so insistent that the Czech Republic and Poland need to be an integral part of the system. The latest events: Russia's First Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov says the term "Cold War" will be forgotten if the United States accepts his country's missile-defense plan for Europe. But Ivanov is also threatening to deploy Russian missiles near Poland if Washington rejects the Kremlin offer. VOA Moscow Correspondent Peter Fedynsky reports. You know damn well Bush will ignore it as he has to in order to instigate war and his new order.

Speaking to reporters in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, First Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov said Russia will cancel plans to deploy missiles in its Kaliningrad enclave if the United States accepts a Kremlin plan for a European missile-defense system. The Russian Baltic enclave is surrounded by Poland and Lithuania, both NATO members. Ivanov's statement carries the implied threat of an arms race in response to an American plan to deploy missiles in Poland and a radar installation in the Czech Republic. The United States says the system would guard against a possible attack by Iran. Ivanov says his country's proposal is better for NATO than America's. I have to agree when Ivanov says that Russia together with the NATO allies can create a system that would defend not just some NATO members, but all of them. http://voanews.com/english/2007-07-04-voa23.cfm I you are interested just take a gander at the titles and see how quickly this was escalating. Rapid developments

I now see hope that President Obama can divert at least this one world crisis set up by Bush. The thawing of Bush's freeze is just starting but I see a future!

Castro Wants U.S. Out of Guantánamo By Jerome Grossman and my slim justification for staying there!

President Barack Obama has earned justified praise all over the world for announcing that he will close the United States prison at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba within a year. This military colony has incarcerated hundreds of people seized in the U.S. - Afghan war of 2001-02 and the Iraq war that began in 2003. Because Guantánamo is outside the United States, the U.S. has argued that these so-called "unlawful combatants" are not subject to the Geneva Conventions on the treatment of prisoners. They have not been tried and some have been tortured.

Cuban leader Fidel Castro praised Obama after his election as "honest" and "noble" but on January 29 he demanded that Obama return Guantánamo to Cuba "without conditions". Castro said, “Maintaining a military base in Cuba against the will of the people violates the most elemental principles of international law..... Not respecting Cuba's will is an arrogant act and an abuse of immense power against a little country.”

The United States does maintain an important naval station at Guantánamo Bay covering 28,000 acres. The site was leased to the U.S. in 1903 by a treaty that was renewed in 1934. Since 1960, the Castro government has refused to accept the token annual rent of $5,000 from the U.S. and has repeatedly pressured for the return of the base.

The U.S. helped the people of Cuba liberate themselves from the Spanish overlords in 1898. While they had the power to do so, the U.S. did not directly annex Cuba only because of its pretensions to being an anti-imperialist nation, an important political issue at that time. However, Cuba was forced to grant the U.S. special privileges to intervene in Cuban affairs at any time which we did in 1906, 1912, 1917, and 1920 by landing our Marines. The revolution led by Castro ended that arrangement.
The U.S. has more than 700 military bases in 130 countries, arrangements entered into willingly by the nations concerned. When a country asks us to leave, that request is within their right under international law. To ignore such a demand would call into question U.S. motives and raise the spectre that the bases were forced upon “little countries” by military or economic pressures. The only superpower has a basic interest in maintaining international law and could enhance its position as world hegemon by giving up Guantánamo Bay as the host country requests.

Because no superpower, ancient or modern, has ever surrendered its military and economic preeminence voluntarily, it would be unrealistic to ask the U.S. to do so. But there are ways of leading, even dominating, that lessen the resentment of those led. One method is the use of "soft power" to promote education, health care, infrastructure, etc instead of spending money and manpower on military bases that flaunt superpower occupation and offend local nationalist sentiment.

Looks like Obama opened a can of worms! Soft power right! We have done a heck of a job promoting education huh? I know the lease is open ended and could never really understand why. The lease has no stipulated ending date. It will end under any of the following conditions: The US fails to pay the lease, the US abandons the base or finally, when they both agree to end the agreement.

I agree, it makes no sense whatsoever to keep a base where you are not wanted. Seems like a good way to have sanctions lifted and gain favors from Obama.
I do think Guantanamo is strategically important and that would be all that wanting to keep it open would indicate at least in my limited knowledge!

Ahmadinejad and Obama unclench fist! What's it worth?

Ahmadinejad tells crowd at Freedom square ready for dialogue with Obama!


Iranian Overture Might Complicate Relations With Israel

Mob attacks moderate Khatami

Moderate Mohammud Khatami attacked by stick wielding crowd on the 30th Anniversary of the Iranian Revolution. That is not promising nor is the fact that President Obama still insists on no nuclear abilities for Iran! Ahmadinejad said he is ready for talks only if Obama's changes were dramatic. Well after 30 years talking is a dramatic change. That is a start but it could also be an end. This is a golden opportunity that I am afraid will be squandered as we already know neither side will change the policies that created this environment!

Ahmadinejad said we will face a much worse threat than Bush if we continue his policies and that in itself concerns me knowing Obama wants the same thing but thinks ha can get it by talking instead of threatening. Forget it! We will not see a repeat of the dark era of Bush but we will see a Diplomatic kinder gentler version of George Bush's policies at least in the middle east so as a result I can not possibly see anything changing there.
Engagement With Iran? Here Are Some Likely Scenarios

In America I believe Nothing is going to turn this mess around that all parties are threatening us with and they are all responsible for. This is just beginning like it or not and this is the future McCain wants to preserve for our kids! Our sorry Government better learn and quick to put their selfish interest aside or the right thing will never get done for average Americans and our America. We are rapidly running out of time!

However I do think relations with Russia will improve! Here Republicans have shown they will not acclimate but will fight as usual hoping Obama will fail. The rest of the world including Russia sees the importance of dialogue and getting off this road to world chaos and destruction Bush put us on if we as a world are to have a future! The world is watching!

Obama wants Afghanistan reassessment but he is already committed! Doesn't he get it? We're screwed!

Sounds like the reassessment Nixon got saying Vietnam could not be defeated militarily before he proved it with thousands more American deaths before we pulled out!
Russia gives no ground despite US overtures<./a>

Russia 'optimistic' over US ties

Russian envoy calls Biden speech 'very positive' Sees no need for immediate response and I agree!

US Officials Offer Dismal Review of War in Afghanistan

Afghanistan 'tougher than Iraq'

Obama team works to define US strategy in Afghanistan

Obama Putting Brakes on Surge in Afghanistan He wants a reassessment before committing more troops but what the hell difference will it make. In 2,000 years they have not been defeated and will not now!

Talk won't hurt. Feel each other out! We should be cooperating in Afghanistan. What happened to "all nations are at war with terror? All Nation's should do their share? We are not supposed to be there to impress our values but to repress so called Islamist dominance in the name of Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
We watched Russia fail in their war in Afghanistan and we even helped. We are bragging about gains in Iraq that I still refuse to believe are permanent while the war in Afghanistan has only gotten much worse because of Iraq and will continue to get a lot worse! If Russia honestly wants to cooperate in the fight in Afghanistan call them out. Take them up on it! Give them enough rope to hang themselves! This really is a golden opportunity I hope President Obama is smart enough to explore, foster, and cultivate! However it takes two to Tango!

Afghanistan as we know has never been defeated militarily. Russia could not do it and we will not succeed either. Well remember the adage "united we stand divided we fall" I do believe if the real goal is defeating Islamist extremist this can be the perfect opportunity! I do believe if Russia and the US were to join forces in Afghanistan we can put an end to the true statement that Afghanistan has never been successfully defeated militarily. United we can do this and even China can help at least financially. We should truly make this a concerted united effort. This is not a NATO problem, a UN problem, Russian Chinese, etc, this is a world problem and we must unite and act accordingly to persevere!

* I am telling you, we are being majorly put up against not just around the world but Afghanistan in particular. The other day I did a story that we were being entrapped in Afghanistan by Russia. Yesterday I countered that with their offer to help us in Afghanistan and then Biden's offer that it was time to hit the reset button and cooperate in this so called war on terror! Today I am more concerned than ever realizing that Putin out politicked Bush to death and under the guise that Medvedev is in charge he is doing it to President Obama!

* He is building new bases in the surrounding area while offering a partnership in Afghanistan and facilitating the closing of our main supply base at Manas Air Base and offering his help. We are being surrounded. The chess masters are doing it again! We are not going to have a choice pretty soon! Russia will be calling the moves and they know it! Obama has put a halt to the addition of 30,000 more American troops but so what? Politics that is all it is. Cover your ass in case of failure. We will fail and Bush guaranteed it. Like Nixon took the hit for JFK in Vietnam Obama will take the hit for Bush in Afghanistan and the entire so called war on terror. Obama is walking right into it!

We are Kept in A state of perpetual Confusion for selfish gain!

I was going through the days stories wondering what important subject I thought had to be discussed. Absolutely 100% everything today is purposely shrouded in a state of confusion so a biased selfish agenda can be followed! I have written on it often in fact the cover of my first book stated "any grey area is manufactured to follow a hidden agenda! That was in regard to President Bush as uncovering the truth became my mission and it became incessant! The lying lowlife underhanded style of Politics Rove taught him (3D Politics! Deceitful Deceptive, Divisive Politics) has become the new standard in American politics. Worse the entire world has followed the example in private life and in Politics!

You see and live the horrible results every day! Anyway I stumbled in to an Andy Rooney story. I must say I find him a bit feeble minded at his age but he really hit the nail on the head on this one! He said what we all experience every day in every instance today and that is every time he picks up a newspaper or story he was starting to worry as he felt stupid because he just couldn't understand anything! He said in relation to dropping Auto sales, lost jobs, growing numbers doubting Obama that the numbers are there to confuse us If he only knew how dead on he is!

Anyway before I get into this he touched on something I predicted the other day! That was that Republicans were being set up by Obama and the Democrats: Like you I have been following with much interest the debate and events surrounding President Obama's stimulus package! It passed the House as you know without a single Republican vote and in fact without total support from Democrats. The stimulus Bill in fact was further bloated with Pork Projects and when it reached the Senate had gone from $750 Billion to $819 Billion. Now I hear $900 Billion or as much as a $1 trillion.

I was getting madder by the second until it dawned on me what was going on! MSM jumps on any possible short coming they can and as usual if there is not one they create it for a story! In the Main Stream Media all the talk is about President Obama being snubbed by his own party. Nothing could be farther from the truth! MSM says President Obama has turned on his own party and is siding with Republicans. Again nothing could be further from the truth!

The plan as it stood was correctly portrayed by Republicans as a spending spree at taxpayers expense! It was a spending spree and on purpose. At its core it is President Obama's rescue plan and a damn good one designed to rebuild our failing infrastructure while putting Americans back to work! It also allows for more money to banks only strict oversight! What the MSM or the Republicans do not realize is that they are victims of their own game! They have been set up in a standard Bush style facade used to get what you want and it will work again this time for President Obama! I have to laugh because rebuilding the infrastructure is a prime concern of President Obama's. Republican's originally said it would not work but now they want the pork gone and want $Billions more spent on infrastructure.

From the outset President Obama insisted on no pork but it was purposely put in to be used as a bargaining chip to get the Bill President Obama wants. There will appear to be compromise but the Bill will pass largely as President Obama wants! President Obama is not abandoning Democrats he is working with them to get Republican's on his side! He has successfully manipulated Republican's and Bipartisanship. Once again President Obama has proven to be the Uniter! We will have unity or a reasonable facsimile there of! Obama is not snubbing Democrats he is playing the Republicans!

Well! How right I was as the pork has now been removed and it is down to around a $780 Billion stimulus Bill and it is scheduled to be passed Tuesday. It still will do nothing to help but at least Obama will get his money.

Anyway just think about this! Absolutely 100% of every single situation in American, in the middle east, South America, Russia China, everywhere in the world not just on a political level but on a business and personal level the argument or issue is clouded and confused creating a gray area so a selfish agenda can be followed and is. The truth today is whatever you want people to believe so you can follow your selfish agenda. Israel Syria, anywhere in the middle east, Eurasia, Russia, China, Tibet, Myanmar, every instance the issue is confused so one side or the other can get their way. No more honesty and let the chips fall where they may. Lie "the new truth of modern man" and have your way. Man are we in trouble!

Joint operations with Russia against Al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan?

Finally some sense from America! Joint operations with Russia against Al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan!
I prepared a counter argument yesterday for my story on Russia entrapping us in Afghanistan. As you know by now Russia has offered their country as a base for resupply operations into Afghanistan but only on a civilian humanity crisis level. They proposed that the US and Russia work together to defeat Al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan. A novel idea! Actual cooperation in the so called war on terror. Today I am pleased to update that long overdue Idea with an offer from Vice President Biden. We had to be trapped into what we should have been doing all along. You know McCain, Bush or anyone other than an Obama Administration still would fight the only obvious answer!
Biden offers joint operations with Russia against Al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan
Russia wanting to cooperate in the fight in Afghanistan is another golden opportunity that should not be passed up! Russia continues to entrap us in Afghanistan. In the end this will not be good!
Kyrgyzstan's Decision to Close US Base 'Final'
The Manas air base played a critical role in getting soldiers and supplies to and from Afghanistan. This will now be even more complicated and at a time when the US plans on adding another 30,000 troops to the war effort in Afghanistan! The $2 billion dollars Russia guaranteed Kyrgyzstan if they closed the base to us did the trick! Russia will now have some control over our efforts in Afghanistan unless another way in is found!

Russia and the US have reached agreement on moving supplies to Afghanistan
Tajikistan ready to help US with Afghanistan supplies
U.S. seeks remedy for pending closure of military base in Kyrgyzstan maybe Uzbekistan
As of yet I see no way around using the growingly volatile routes in Pakistan to bring in troops and military supplies. That seems to be the pincer goal of Russia. You know they are voicing the desire to help us while clandestinely helping us fail. Payback for helping the Mujahedeen defeat them in their war with Afghanistan.
I have to wonder to what degree the Russian's are helping or will help in the effort to disrupt military supply lines? They have already openly gone pretty far. It is what as usual goes on underhandedly behind the scenes that will be denied that concerns me!
without Manas resupplying landlocked Afghanistan is going to be tricky
Tajikistan says only food and medical supplies can be moved from their land. After the way Russia stepped on Georgia fearing too much US interest and fearing loss of their own influence no country there is going to risk an attack by Russia. They know damn well they can not count on us! We are way the hell over our head! With all the instigating and war mongering designed to create future wars in what I call a Forever War I have to wonder what is next?
I have 3 of my sons in this mess and I am very concerned as to their future and how they will be abused and misused in the future. I am afraid that Obama as I have said a million times now, has been set up for failure so the right can get back in and finish off us and their war agenda. Obama has had his bed made for him and will have to prosecute many wars like it or not. Coupled with the crisis Bush left him here as to our financial collapse I am increasingly concerned that President Obama is over his head and is already cracking.
He is well intentioned but his success will only happen if he receives cooperation here and around the world. The right is doing their damnedest to see that Obama fails so they can get back into power. It sickens me that the childish Political games continue while the country is allowed to fail. What those asses fail to realize is if Obama fails we fail, America fails, the world fails. The well intentioned moral Obama is the only hope I see for a successful future and the right is doing their damnedest to slim those hopes. Not just Afghanistan and the middle east but here too has me very concerned because of the destruction Bush purposely caused and he calls success!
Anyway now Russian leaders have recently expressed a willingness to cooperate in the fight as the U.S. military plans to send an additional 30,000 troops to Afghanistan to try to halt a resurgence of the Taliban. Wait a minute! Cooperate in the fight? How closely? I admit I can be a little slow on the uptake sometimes but I do catch on! Russia regardless of your opinion of them has given us golden opportunities for cooperation and unity in the past. In particular offering to help with the missile defense shield. That would have brought joint cooperation and would have allowed both sides to watch each other if there was nothing to hide.
This can be another golden opportunity that should not be passed up! Think about it! Eat crow! Suck spit! Swallow your pride! Use a little sense! Talk won't hurt. Feel each other out! We should be cooperating in Afghanistan. What happened to "all nations are at war with terror? All Nation's should do their share? We are not supposed to be there to impress our values but to repress so called Islamist dominance in the name of Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
We watched Russia fail in their war in Afghanistan and we even helped. We are bragging about gains in Iraq that I still refuse to believe are permanent while the war in Afghanistan has only gotten much worse because of Iraq and will continue to get a lot worse! If Russia honestly wants to cooperate in the fight in Afghanistan call them out. Take them up on it! Give them enough rope to hang themselves! This really is a golden opportunity I hope President Obama is smart enough to explore, foster, and cultivate! However it takes two to Tango!
Afghanistan as we know has never been defeated militarily. Russia could not do it and we will not succeed either. Well remember the adage "united we stand divided we fall" I do believe if the real goal is defeating Islamist extremist this can be the perfect opportunity! I do believe if Russia and the US were to join forces in Afghanistan we can put an end to the true statement that Afghanistan has never been successfully defeated militarily. United we can do this and even China can help at least financially. We should truly make this a concerted united effort. This is not a NATO problem, a UN problem, Russian Chinese, etc, this is a world problem and we must unite and act accordingly to persevere!

Compliments of Bush Afghanistan is Obama's Vietnam!

Why have new supply routes to Afghanistan never been cultivated? They will change nothing though in Obama's Vietnam compliments of Bush!
Pakistan militant attack halts US, NATO supplies

NATO seeks Iran help over Afghanistan

Militants take out bridge in Khyber region

Afghanistan: Can Obama succeed in the 'land of the unruly?' No! Afghanistan is Obama's Vietnam compliments of Bush! Land of the Unruly, Graveyard of Empires, front of the war on terror, whatever you call it they have never been defeated militarily and will not now. Adding thirty thousand troops will do nothing. This is just beginning!

Afghanistan Obama's Vietnam

This is an interesting read From Arab news! Afghanistan: Obama’s Vietnam?

It is really sickening that this seems to be true today but the Arab news was saying you are not a US President until you attack somebody! Well now Obama has been bloodied after sending drones into Pakistan and killing insurgent as he promised he would do while he was running. This is just beginning and after 7 years!

One of my sons wants to go back there and one is there right now flying supplies into Afghanistan. It is blowing as you know and Bush guaranteed a loss there and everywhere else with his war mongering anti Islam actions and his attack on Iraq to get into the middle east and help Israel set up a new middle east order. Our supply lines from Pakistan to Afghanistan have been the focus of Islamists for a while and I was wondering why we have not looked for a supply route from one of our allies the Stans?

However looking at the map and giving it some thought the same problem would exist wherever we change the supply route too! We could add a million troops and it would only be matched by the Taliban and other insurgents. They can and will more than match us fighter to fighter and this is their home turf. I used to say if we could secure the Afghan Pakistan Border we could then concentrate on the Taliban and rebuilding Afghanistan. However, knowing the territory and seeing the map there is no way in hell that is going to happen.

Remember when we had Bin Laden trapped in Tora Bora? We could not even secure that or wouldn't! I have four men or sons 3 of which are in this! It sickens me knowing that I advocated the military as a career. In my defense I will say that was pre war monger Bush. The three of them insist on being Lifers and knowing this entire mess is just beginning I have to wonder what is next for them or their children for that matter thanks to the mess bush has already made of their future!

Obama again warns of Disaster but it was too late to avert years ago!

Jobless claims at 626000 for the month of January break another record

Obama warns of need for stimulus bill right away

President Obama Warns stimulus package must be passed right away or we may plunge into a long lasting recession that may be irreversible. Take out the damn pork then and pass the Bill though it will not stop this still just developing Greenspan created financial disaster. That is not fear mongering on President Obama's part. Nor is it fear mongering on my part to say this is just beginning and will get a lot worse as this the second Greatest Depression continues! Wait until every city and every State declares Bankruptcy and asks for Bailouts!

All the way back in November we had the Biggest one-month job loss in U.S. since 1974 with 533,000 lost!

Then we lost 524,000 in December making this the worst year for employment since 1945 with Total 2008 job loss: 2.6 million

Then we heard there were Fears of a million layoffs a month in corporate America Business ...

* I told you Obama's dire warning of losing up to a million jobs per month if his stimulus package was not passed will happen anyway and it gets closer every month! That was not fear mongering just reality! Now Obama is warning of a prolonged recession we may not recover from if his package is not passed. That too is not fear mongering just reality and fact!

Centrists in Senate Push to Cut Billions From Stimulus
Cut the friggen pork and pass the damn Bill though it will not stop what is just beginning! Knowing this it still bothers the hell out of me that these childish Politicians some call our leaders just continue to play their usual childish games while the country goes down the tubes. They really do not care and it is sick!

It was a long ago foregone conclusion! This was written two years ago and The Second Great Depression set up by Greenspan was a given regardless of all these bailouts. at this rate the 10% unemployment Obama warned about is going to happen in about 6 months regardless!

They will do nothing but stave off the inevitable and speed up the bankrupting of America also set in motion by Bush. I have written it numerous times but I just want you to remember the great Depression and a couple parallel facts with this one!

** Remember it was the Republicans at the helm the last time this happened and while FDR's New Deal did a lot to bring us back and Obama wants to replicate it and it is necessary that it took WW2 to get us out of it!

**** It is important to remember as I have written about this too, too many times but Bush has laid the foundation not only for the bankrupting of America but WW3 to get us out of it or so they think!

It is old news to the half intelligent but This will dwarf the great depression!

Also these bailouts are worthless except to further the bankrupting of America that Bush started! I say often that by the time the so called experts get a hold of something it is already to late to do anything about it as we talked it to death already and no one listened. This is no exception! We are starting to hear talk of the long ago obvious that we are in a Depression and this will dwarf the great depression!

It will only further the bankrupting of America! This was set up by Greenspan for Bush and it will be playing out for generations regardless of President Obama's good intentions! After yesterdays discussion I am sickened watching Politicians continue to play their standard childish games while the country sinks though this is going to happen regardless. We can only relax be prepared and hunker down!

The Old Razzle Dazzle By Jerome Grossman and once again my somber response!

If President Barack Obama rescues America, and indeed the entire world, from the ravages of recession/depression, the gratitude of the populace will be boundless. His party will sweep the congressional elections of 2010; his reelection in 2012 will be by acclamation.

If Obama's stimulus plan fails and the economy sinks into depression, he will bear the blame, and he and his party will be swept from power. Obama says the stimulus “serves two functions-creating jobs and stimulating the economy in the short term and laying the groundwork for overhauls in energy, health care and infrastructure that would be felt for decades.”

But some Democrats say that his package could end up missing both targets. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said that the stimulus bill "could prove less than the quick jolt that President Obama is seeking," because of necessary delays in spending on longer projects.

To protect his political flank in 20i0 and 2012, Obama has catered to the policies of the Republicans, so that 40% of the entire package is composed of tax cuts. Vice President Joe Biden said "That's not what the Democrats wanted." But they accepted the Republican tax proposals to get their support and votes for the package. Then, in case of failure, Republicans could not attack politically in 2010 and 2012 because the bill included their own tax cut wish list.

However, after receiving the tax concessions, the GOP failed to deliver their votes. From being dispirited after losing the White House and the Congress, they now have a strategy: to blame Obama if the economy fails to rally, to blame Obama for the waste of trillions, to blame Obama for the anticipated inflation.

Today, Obama is in a very strong position. Virtually the entire country wants him to succeed. Guarding against possible failure, he wanted both parties on the same hook, the stimulus bill. In remarkable and unprecedented gestures of bipartisanship, he praised Ronald Reagan, met with GOP officials, dined with conservative pundits, solicited their advice and ideas, appointed Republicans to his Cabinet and policymaking positions, to name only a few outreaches. Obama made all those compromises for nothing.

So far, Obama has failed to achieve the desired cooperation or the bipartisan cover for his stimulus bill. The Republicans now have a political strategy for future elections. Unfortunately, it seems to be based on Obama’s future failure and the continuation of our economic troubles. Let us hope they are wrong in their use of the old razzle dazzle style of politics.

Jerome

So far President Obama has done a cracker jack job! His first priority was and is two fold, to save the economy while rebuilding America and putting Americans back to work and undoing all Bush's damage including 200 anti American laws and Executive orders.

He is well on his way with the latter but needs Republicans to achieve the former. Rush Limbaugh has a lot of company! They want to see him fail and will do what they can to achieve that.

Republicans want President Obama to go down in flames so they can get back in power and finish us and their new (dis)order agenda off.
Bush created this mess and Greenspan was the tool! Americans are not stupid. They know Bush and his Legacy of destruction is responsible. Also one term is not going to fax this. Obama will get a second term!

That will not be enough though! This will continue for generations like it or not. The entire world is hoping President Obama succeeds. We were responsible for the world collapse in 1929 and we are responsible for the collapse in 2009!
We know who was in control both times and who it took to save us. The worst part to me is FDR and his new Deal did not do it. Ultimately it was WW2!

Thinking of President Bush all day every day!

GOP targets stimulus Bill!

Obama has been on a sprint to undo Bush's damage from day one and there is no end in sight! Week two and a reminder that every accomplishment of President Obama is another Bush failure. Another tribute to his Legacy, his legacy of destruction here and abroad. It has been less than two weeks since President Obama's inauguration and I am overwhelmed by his rapid unraveling of Bush's damage!

I use to say every time a victory is declared for the Iraqi people they fall deeper into the hall on earth Bush created for them. Finally I see hope for them too as they had what so far has been deemed a successful election but I credit that too to President Obama and his "Audacity of Hope" President Obama started the week early on with passing his first law the Ledbetter Law Legislating equal pay for equal work. It snowballed from there!

Obama's US FDA pick to come within days -spokesman


Obama finds that partisanship still lives in Washington

Obama says will reverse Bush labor policies

15 lawmakers to join Obama to watch Super Bowl cocktails all around!

Biden to lead middle-class task force

Obama's consideration of Sen. Gregg raises questions But Gregg and Obama could be a force! I also ubderstand Republicans are pressuring him to stay away. They do not want Bi partisanship!

Obama and Congress Seek to Limit Pay at Bailed-Out Companies That should have been a prerequisite to recieving Bailout money!

I am afraid after reading of some of the asinine pork I have to agree with this! Senate GOP warns against `Christmas list' approach We are in friggen trouble here cut the s.o.p. crap!

To tear apart the Democrats and combat Obama Republicans Choose First Black Party Chairman Now it is really going to start getting dirty!

Obama nod to mortgage relief targets root of woes This is commendable, lowering mortgage costs will help a lot of people but?

Obama Pledges to Revive Credit Flow Will ensure Executives to not mispend funds!

Obama readies road map for new bailout spending Promises no one bailout will remedy our situation and it will take years to fix this. That thanks to Bush is anunderestimate!


Analysis: Team Obama preoccupied with Bush Of course they are! Bush is the reason for their being! Bush and his failures are the reason for everything they must now do to fix them! Of course they think about Bush all day every day!

With Iran and the US the more things change the more they remain the same!

Iran welcomes change both sides demand the other to unclench fist??? Forget it!
Obama White House may send letter to unfreeze US-Iran relations

Analysis: Ahmadinejad on the attack
Nobody was expecting a long and warm honeymoon but the vitriol in President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's remarks to the new US administration was remarkable.

Iran's Ahmadinejad to seek second 4-year term

Obama ready to extend hand in Peace if Iran will unclench fist and talk

Iran anticipates "practical," "fundamental" changes in US policy

A day after Obama's offer to extend his hand Ahmadinejad spurns Obama overtures in a show of weakness

Ahmadinejad demands US apology Apologies all around but for which event? For being? I understand for 60 years of American Abuse!

IRAN: WILL NOT HALT NUCLEAR PROGRAMME DESPITE OBAMA

But Iran welcomes change in US foreign policy: Ahmadinejad Why? What is up? Obama will talk and be diplomatic but his policies in the middle east will be no different than Bush's. They are sadly mistaken if they think they are going to railroad Obama!

Demands Iran: Obama Must "Unclench" America's Fist Didn't Obama do that offering to talk?

Then Obama is advised to 'Treat Iran as key player'

Iran is a key player but as Bush did not want to be a player but a decider so too does Ahmadinejad!

White House: Obama not ruling out military strike against Iran

White House says it knows of no draft letter to Iran

US overtures divide Iran's policymakers

US reiterates all options on table with Iran

* Just take a look at the stories from Iran and the US since President Obama's inauguration and the relationship is more convoluted than ever. Once again "the more things change the more they remain the same" Quite honestly when Bush started insisting that Iran shut down its centrifuges and cease its nuclear ambitions I said and you know that as far as Iran is concerned, possessing a nuclear ability is their right and no one is going to tell them what they can and can not do including President Obama! Each side at least has succeeded in confusing the other as to the others stance. Obama seems to be using Diplomacy to divide and "conquer"? however with superlative discretion compared to Bush!

Ahmadinejad expecting an apology is a no go. I believe we did wrong but Obama was not even alive then but that will never happen. What I think it has to boil down to is us accepting Iran as is and start with a clean slate.

We very well may owe Iran an apology for past interference but Dwelling on the past at this point will only guarantee living in the past and we want to move into a peaceful unified future. I have repeated for years that at this point in man's and the planets life cycles we must be happy like it or not with whatever thee past has dealt us If not, with the weapons of today we are in serious trouble. The entire world better realize that! Like a clock time only works one way forward. We are past the maturing stage of out life cycle and are in the nurturing stage. Failing to acknowledge that will be to all our demise! I believe with President Obama we now have a chance at taking the right road. We must we already have too much on our plate and the world better get together right now and seriously start working at our problems!

They were overwhelmed at the World Economic Forum!

It is far worse than they thought! They obviously have not looked at the big picture. Our situation is far more critical than they realize. The world better get in gear! We may be in critical condition but we should be in the Intensive Care Unit!

Two years ago in response to the growing world crises I put a little list together! Besides the problems listed below the two crises that were developing at the time wire Georgia and Pakistan. Like all the rest of them on this list they have only gotten worse and the list is growing! Pick a crisis, we're full of them, The world in crisis, without a doubt you can add to the list too!

World refugees due to war numer more than 35 million and counting

'World water crisis

World energy crisis Global oil, nautural gas, global warming, false promises, this is interesting!

Growing World economics crisis

emerging world liquidity crisis

The coming first world Debt crisis

World aids crisis widens and spreads don't forget the growing, old and hideous new Diseases!

World Hunger Crisis

World poverty crisis

The Book, the worlds Real environmental crisis

** It all adds up to future world crises, something we have discussed numerous times. we watch powerless as we watch this crisis develop and unfold and we are powerless to stop it. Instead of fixing the problems we ignore and worsen them as the world races to war once again. Believe in him or not Nostradamus gave us two roads to choose from as we travel into the future. One to peace and prosperity and one to war, chaos, and world destruction. Now that we have Obama I believe we have a good chance at taking the right road but the entire world must get on board or we are in serious trouble. We already have more on our plate than we can handle!
