Whistleblower Pilot Posts Video Exposing Airport Security Flaws! We need many more everywhere
Pilot shows ?serious flaws? in airport security
Whistleblower: Pilot Posts Video Exposing Airport Security Flaws
He should be commended. It is obvious that we are nurturing terrorists and extremists and are much less safer today than we were before 9/11. The airports are just one small part of the whole. Other experts in their field better start speaking up and may be instead of a facade of security we can have some real security. We really have yet to start!
To top off all the increasing problems we are facing we now have an American terrorist topping Osama Bin Laden as our biggest threat. He has been able to martial an ever increasing number of home bred radicals seeking to harming America and kill their fellow Americans.
We constantly hear how much safer we are here and we keep seeing our so called security at main airports circumvented and compromised. There are too many examples now, underwear bomber and shoe bomber aside as well as the explosives found in Bahrain and Britain after they were flown there on passenger jets. They were only found because of a repentant Al Qaeda member. We have up to now been lucky not overly vigilant.
We know a dozen would be terrorists were just caught in England before they could do any damage. We were also made aware of a widespread conspiracy to poison the food in Restaurants and hotels. For that matter we know how vulnerable our food supply is and from seed to market how difficult it would be to secure if it was to become a target as you can be sure it will be.
Since 9/11, Washington has spent billions of dollars on airport security. But the bigger terrorist threat may be at U.S. seaports There are some 16,000 containers passing through our ports every day. Heretofore we have captured only illegal immigrants. A 16 year old kid managed to get in the wheel well of a passenger plane, died and fell out. What if he had evil intentions?
We are not safer or safe! We have almost 100,000 miles of coastline. Look at it by State small air ports and landing strips number in the millions and are everywhere, heck for small planes you don't need a runway. we have over 7,000 of unprotected border The facade of safety is merely to make citizens feel an effort is being made and they are safer but safer? Not hardly!

Bolivia recognizes Palestine while because of Israel Palestinian negotiator says peace process in 'deep coma'
The movement to rightly recognize Palestine continues to grow as Bolivia became the third country and Ecuador the fourth in recent weeks to recognize a state of Palestine."Bolivia and Ecuador recognizes the Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, like Brazil and Argentina," the Palestinian Ma'an news agency reported Bolivian president Evo Morales as saying on Friday during a visit to Brazil.Uruguay is expected to follow suit early next month.Bolivia recognizes Palestine All this despite efforts by Israel, Israeli groups, and the US despite their feigned efforts to form a two State union.
Ecuador joins Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Cuba and Venezuela in supporting an independent Palestine with borders recognized prior to the 1967 Mideast war.
Palestinian negotiator says peace process in 'deep coma' Because of Israel's refusal to stop building in the West Bank.
I reiterate, Palestinian's have bent backwards: Lack of a peace solution to the Israeli crisis we created keeps being blamed on the Palestinians and I for one am quite sick of it! Israel could lease Palestinian lands in exchange for Palestinian statehood: report I am thinking this can be done after all my apprehension. With Palestine rebuffing Iran, Iran would be the one left out in the cold.
Palestinian refusal to recognize Israel as a Jewish state shows they are not serious about two-state solution. What about Israel's refusal to go back to 1967 borders where they should be? to stop building settlements? or to let Palestine have a homeland free of Jews if they want? What about UN resolution 181 established in 1947?
PLO wants map from US with future Israeli border Can you blame them? No bargaining make Israel adhere to UN resolution 181, no alternative! It is more than fair and equitable.
The only thing to do is to force the instigating war mongers Israel to adhere to 181 or leave them to their own demise and Iran would see to it. You know, first reading how Israel and Palestine was allotted their territories in 1948 I do not condone that Israel has not been forced to adhere to that resolution. We, the US Britain and Europe especially are as guilty as Israel for not insisting Israel adhere to UN Resolution 181
"In the eyes of Palestinians, the occupation began in '48 and not in '67," Ya'alon told Army Radio. "Not only Hamas thinks this – Abu Mazen [Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas does too." I think that too! I refuse to believe we took it upon ourselves to displace the Palestinians and give their land to the Jews in 1948 because we felt bad for them.
I hate to say it but I agree with Ahmadinejad that if Europe and the US felt so bad about what happened to Jews during WW2 then they should have given them part of their country. If they did we would not be in this situation. There will never be peace in the middle east unless there is an agreement to go back to UN Resolution 181 that was established in 1947.
We should in fact take care of Jewish American's and American's and our interests in Israel and otherwise tell them in no uncertain terms they are on their own if they continue to instigate war not peace and expecting us to come to their rescue. I love the way this is gaining momentum and I finally believe there is a chance for a two State solution but not peace in the Middle East. * The ball is in Israel's court!

A return to McCarthyism or worse?
"Government Takeover" of Health Care Called "Lie of the Year"
The senators who dissed baby Jesus so they could go home for Christmas
The senators who dissed baby Jesus
Rep. Pete King's proposal to hold hearings on the "radicalization" of American Muslims is something straight out of the Bad Ideas Department. Make that the Worst Ideas Department. Just substitute the word "movie" for "Muslim" and you've got McCarthyism. McCarythism revisited. It isn't just going after Muslims but it is health care, social security, immigrants, minorities, everything. We are in serious trouble! Molloy: A return to McCarthyism
We have to beat these liars somehow! I refuse to believe Republicans and other turncoats can get away with voting against the people and lying and just promise a return to Bush's destruction of "our America and world order" Obama has finally started to gather forces again to finally get something done. We better show the tea party Republicans we are not going to let them undo any progress and finish destroying our America. We must come out and keep his agenda moving forward.
For a while there the Republicans looked lost forever. They took a back seat and let the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck lie and whip up those in America angry at losing their version of America. Glen Beck and Sarah Palin were the leaders in the dumbing down of America. The tea party seems to have silent control of the Republican party now and since the election have allowed the leaders of the party to come back to the forefront or the leaders are done using them for now and have stepped forward again.
John Boehner, Mitch Mcconnell, Eric Cantor, they are frightening to look at let alone hear their rich man fascist stance. They are war mongers to top it off and with the likes of Newt Gingrich who wants to attack Iran as President we would be in more serious trouble than we are now. We can not allow them to get back in. I wish there was a way for Obama to separate himself from the Democratic party and run as an American who simply wants to see average Americans and our America succeed and not the party. The two party system is our enemy!
The entire pile of BS which is today's Republican party is sickening. You might think the odds are stacked against them but forget it!They are the underhanded controllers of our modern built to be stolen Political system. I said a long time ago if we do not figure out how to combat the Republican disinformation juggernaut we are shoveling shi#@ against the tide and our so called leaders have not.
This is downright frightening! The lying and the fear mongering are holding sway over common sense and the truth. We keep hearing Obama compare to a Nazi while years ago we were saying that about Bush and his mis-administration. Now they are demonizing Muslims and others to get back into power. I'm telling you this is the 1933-34 Brownshirts all over again.
I was stunned listening to Romney's withdrawal speech when he was running for President. It was a rant against the danger of Democrats getting into the White House with their welfare and new deal programs in tow and their desire to stop the war mongering. I was sickened that Democrats were painted as the enemy of America and Bush's so called success. What ? Success? Can the average American survive any more of this so called success? We have somehow got to defeat this juggernaut before it defeats humanity. I do not like this at all!

Somali Islamists al-Shabab and Hizbul Islam 'to merge' now it's time to worry about Mogadishu
Somali Islamists al-Shabab and Hizbul Islam 'to merge'
In May I was concerned Mogadishu would fall and wrote a story US to boost covert operations: Will Mogadishu fall? Africa and the world can not allow it! Now I am more concerned than ever!
At the time Hizbul-Islam and Al-shabab's long simmering battle amongst themselves had erupted into open warfare. The interim Government was pretty happy about this as they thought they will be busy killing each other and not them and the African Union troops but they should not be. They smelled blood as they sense victory over the so called Government.
They were and are strong and were fighting to see who came out on top and got the palace. Al Shabab is more strict but they both want Islamist rule in Somalia. Al-shabab is also smaller but has Al Qaeda members in its ranks and is confident enough to send fighters over to Yemen to help Al Qaeda there. Islamist rivalry
They have called a truce to the Governments demise. Al Shabab seems to be on top but not alone and they will unify long enough to sink the Government or take us on if and when need be. Can you Imagine?
Because of our success in Afghanistan and Pakistan's success many Al Qaeda are packing up and leaving the border war for greener pasture in Somalia and a new Jihad! I think that is great but we will then have to deal with them there. We have to and will follow them around the world until they cease and desist! Al Qaeda fighters move into Horn of Africa, officials say
Residents of Mogadishu, Somalia's capital city, have reported seeing foreign fighters among Al-Shabab, the radical Islamic militia that is battling to overthrow the weak transitional government. Increasing amounts of foreign fighters are being reported. Al Qaeda there is not new. They were training there in the early 90s and I am sure everyone remembers Black Hawk down The extremists already control parts of Somalia be very concerned if Mogadishu falls!
The western backed Government of former rebel President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed is under increasing attack. This is one more failed case of AlQaeda appeasement. Sheik tried to appease the militants by promising to install Sharia law. Sound familiar? With increasing western support Al Shabab and his growing force of militants are becoming a bigger threat and creating a growing concern.
Somali violence explodes as stabilization fails As you know, with another year it only promises to get much worse.
In closing! Of course we do not want to get involved in Somalia! Pakistan learned first hand the folly of trying the course of appeasement as has Afghanistan and all the rest of the world. With our success in squeezing them in Pakistan and Afghanistan they are moving to Somalia to a new Jihad. Now they have stopped fighting each other long enough to bring down the Government as destruction of the western installed Government and the installation of strict Sharia law is top priority. We know what that means! Somalia "hopefully not in addition to current fronts" but it will be the next front in the so called war on terror along with Yemen. Gulf of Aden the next front in the war on terror!

We are getting too close to Osama Bin Laden, Mullah Omar and the rest as CIA chief outed by ISI and he is forced to leave
New and increased drone attacks come in Khyber, an area abutting Afghanistan’s Nangahar province, that’s been notably drone-free. It has become an area for militants fleeing military action in South Waziristan. They also bring the drone-strike tally for this year up to 113, more than twice last year’s 53 strikes. But those figures don’t begin to tell the whole story.
According to a tally kept by the Long War Journal, 58 of those strikes have come since September: There has been a drone attack every 1.8 days since Labor Day. “unprecedented since the U.S. began the air campaign in Pakistan in 2004.” (By contrast, in 2008, there were just 34 strikes.) Both Roggio and the New America Foundation have found that the overwhelming majority of this year’s strikes have clustered in North Waziristan: at least 99.
That torrid pace of attacks should make it beyond debate that the drones are the long pole in the U.S.’s counterterrorism tent, even if the drone program is technically a secret. So called extremists have their equalizer "the IED" ours is the drone. The Pakistanis haven’t sent their Army into North Waziristan so it is up to our drones like it or not. While most Pakistanis remain ignorant of the strikes, those in the tribal areas live literally in their shadow, and register enormous discontent, approving of retaliatory attacks on U.S. forces.
There’s no official or universally accepted figure of how many civilians have died as a result of the strikes, but New America pegs it at around 25 percent of all fatalities. Long War Journal’s registry is more generous, claiming that 1,671 militants and 108 civilians have died in the strikes since 2006.
A United Nations report urged Obama to rein in the drones, restricting them to attacks on the senior most militants. He did the opposite. Most are against the drones but I am not as long as civilian harm is minimized or preferably negated. The new area we have been in is supposed to be used by militants only. I have to believe we are starting to hit the top of Al Qaeda and the Taliban where some in the ISI have strong bonds.
Anyway don’t expect Obama to heed that warning in 2011 either. After reading the administration’s war-progress report, The New York Times‘ David Sanger noted that background discussions with administration officials made it clear that next year “the pace will be picked up as we would expect it to.” The technology certainly enables it: The Predator is giving way to the Reaper drone, which carries a bigger payload; while weapons manufacturers are lightening the weights of air-launched precision missiles. General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is small wonder to me that the CIA chief was outed and forced to leave Despite some people’s fear of retribution for speaking out, many placed the blame squarely on the Pakistani and U.S. military. 'Unprecedented' Drone Assault: 58 Strikes in 102 Days
Knowing our many discussions of late as to the ties between the Taliban, the Haqqani's, and elements in the ISI I am very concerned to find out they are in fact keeping elements who want to kill the Haqqani's from doing so and being so open about it so I thought we better discuss the ISI and the Haqqani's once again. These developments are not good! This really bothers me. I am not going to elaborate on the vile nature of Pakistan actively working against anti Taliban factions. That will be denied but it is fact!
I understand Mullah Omar is under control by elements of Pakistan's ISI and not allowed to roam too far. High level Taliban commanders are also being flown by NATO to Kabul in at least one instance and driven from Pakistan by NATO escort to Kabul to have these secret meetings with Hamid Karzai. They are so secret that mid level commanders deny these meetings are happening and vow to fight on period!
I think we are on to something here but it is all dead if we are not smart enough to include Pakistan in these meetings. The Taliban do not have safe haven in Pakistan for nothing. They were invited there and despite what we are told at the top level they are still protected. We are back to the Haqqani's as the key!
I believe the Haqqani's the ISI and maybe China who just built a railroad right through Taliban country are all protecting Bin Laden and nothing will get resolved without Pakistan playing a key role. I firmly believe they could kill the Haqqani's today if they wanted and put an end to this.
As you know, the US is increasingly taking matters into its own hands inside Pakistan. The Haqqani's network and their increasingly foreign fighters have become the main focus after 9 years of fighting. The Haqqani's Network's North Waziristan leadership -- usually called the Miram Shah Shura consists of a number of Haqqani's family members and closely associated long-serving commanders.
At the top of the network is Sirajuddin Haqqani's, who oversees the group's political and military activities and is the main liaison to the Mullah Muhammad Omar led Quetta Shura Taliban, the Taliban's leadership body (named for the capital of Pakistan's Baluchistan province). He is also one of the network's liaisons to Pakistani Taliban figures and al-Qaeda.
He travels regularly into Afghanistan to coordinate with field commanders and occasionally to Peshawar and South Waziristan to connect with militants there. Remember Bowe Bergdhal? There are many field commanders in Afghanistan, but turnover is high because many get killed or captured. The most prominent is Mullah Sangin, who is believed to be holding Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl a captured U.S. soldier and Zakim Shah the movement's shadow governor of Khost province.
Jalaluddin Haqqani legendary leader who fought the Soviets and his son, Sirajuddin who directs operations are increasingly the targets of drones and now manned NATO aircraft in Pakistan as the Pakistani's have been leery to go in the area for whatever reason. Many are being killed, I heard over 80 in a week with no civilian casualties.
I wish we would quickly kill the Haqqani's, both Jalaluddin and Sirajuddin and leave the rest to Pakistan as our invasion of their country even to kill Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters who were known killers of NATO forces may be the straw that broke the camels back.
I would hate to see this unite the Haqqani network with Pakistan against us. I think those in the ISI protecting Mullah Omar, the Haqqani's, Al-Zawari, Bin Laden and the lot can be persuaded to give them up and cooperate in working for peace with the Taliban if we cooperate with them this time. We must include Pakistan in these talks, they are the key. We must truly give peace a chance! This is a real tight rope act and I do not like the way this is developing!
We are getting closer hitting a nerve and I can finally see success if Pakistan and the ISI cooperate.

'Constant' Terror Threats: Are We Any Safer? No way, we are much less safer than before 9/11
'Constant' Terror Threats -- Are We Any Safer? Actually we are exponentially less safe!
Holder: Awlaki Is on Same List of Worrisome Terrorists as bin Laden so what? We see what that's worth!
looking at today's unwinding horrors we will be facing long into the future. We watch Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan, Iran, Israel, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, China and Taiwan, North and South Korea, water pollution, air pollution, global warming, water wars, food wars, numerous future wars in the making, under Bush's war mongering I have been long convinced we had not had the defining moment of our time, our moment of extreme challenge.
9/11 was not the defining moment of our time as we are told,that event has not occurred yet but that moment is coming and soon and it could very well be upon us. A lot of people tell me to get over Bush but the US and the world will never be able to as he upset US and world balance that will forever affect us all.
We are so much less safe today it is overwhelming! Our moment of reckoning has yet to come! To top off all the increasing problems we are facing we now have an American terrorist topping Osama Bin Laden as our biggest threat. He has been able to martial an ever increasing number of home bred radicals seeking to harming America and kill their fellow Americans.
We constantly hear how much safer we are here and we keep seeing our so called security at main airports circumvented and compromised.

They were only found because of a repentant Al Qaeda member. We have up to now been lucky not overly vigilant.
We know a dozen would be terrorists were just caught in England before they could do any damage. We were also made aware of a widespread conspiracy to poison the food in Restaurants and hotels. For that matter we know how vulnerable our food supply is and from seed to market how difficult it would be to secure if it was to become a target as you can be sure it will be.
Since 9/11, Washington has spent billions of dollars on airport security. But the bigger terrorist threat may be at U.S. seaports There are some 16,000 containers passing through our ports every day. Heretofore we have captured only illegal immigrants. A 16 year old kid managed to get in the wheel well of a passenger plane, died and fell out. What if he had evil intentions?

Look at it by State small air ports and landing strips number in the millions and are everywhere, heck for small planes you don't need a runway. we have over 7,000 miles of unprotected border The facade of safety is merely to make citizens feel an effort is being made and they are safer but safer?

Q&A: Inter-Korean crisis and South Korea's instigation in pictures
I have to rethink the supposed sinking of South Korea's ship and which country is really doing the instigating
Q&A: Inter-Korean crisis
South Korea Stages Huge Show of Force Near DMZ I have to rethink the supposed sinking of South Korea's ship and which country is really doing the instigating as South Korea's military conducted its largest air-and-ground firing drills of the year at training grounds along the demilitarized zone near the tense Korean border. Instead of stopping this so called training they are getting more instagatory!
North and South Korea beat the drums of war Thursday, with each threatening the other with immediate retaliation in a sacred war if attacked.
In pictures: South Korean exercises
Supposedly this crisis start when on the evening of 26 March, the Cheonan, a South Korean warship, was sailing off Baengnyeong island close to the disputed maritime border when an explosion split it in two. Fifty-eight sailors managed to escape but 46 were killed. Now I am really wondering who did it knowing how we lied about TonKin to start the Vietnam war and tried it in the Gulf to instigate war with Iran. Gulf of Tonkin wikipedia
This situation is changing so rapidly and not for the good that we just discussed that I at one time thought there would one day be a reunified Korean Peninsula but not the way we and South Korea envision it. Just remember something! One way or the other this is going to end in war and I was listening to the so called experts shoot blanks having fun discussing all the wrong reasons and solutions and what is happening was very simple in the beginning but it is getting more complex as this evolves. China was the instigator through ignoring its guard dog North Korea.
We forget history but China does not. They remember the Korean war that they fought too and the fact that General MacArthur wanted to take China too. To bad he didn't! Yes, Beijing has been using North Korean belligerence in order to keep us off their door step. They have also for as long while been abusing their increasing financial and military strength. Yes in the past we too did it but that time must be over if we are to move successfully through the 21st century.
China says nothing while the rest of the world freaks out and they are building aircraft carriers to project their power in Asia and around the world. China's real role here is her goal to keep Democracy off her doorstep and the Kim regime in power because they will remain a puppet whose strings China can pull. Kim Jong Il said he was committed to establishing "a lasting peace system" on the Korean peninsula and to making it nuclear-free "through dialogue and negotiations" a lasting peace system, what is that? donations of food and supplies from us while he maintains his 7 million man army for China and continues to toy with advanced weapons and starve its people?
In the end I don't care what they say. This is a confrontation long in the works. MacArthur was right wanting to go right through North Korea then China back than because it would eventually have to be done. There is a lot behind the scenes to be concerned with here and yes China is our banker but they are over stepping their boundaries. We owe them trillions but with Russia's cooperation we can come out on top here. I fully expect we would and in the end being victors we would cancel our debt to China!
I have had those that point out Russia and the US will never join against China because of Russia and China's connection in the Shanghai cooperation but don't forget China is also connected with South Korea and Japan and look what that's worth. Dmitri Medvedev realizes as I do that Russia and the US need each other and our close relationship is critical to both of us proceeding successfully through the 21st century.
We know China's most senior Diplomat was just in North Korea to show support for China's guard dog. I no longer see a unified peninsula allowed to happen unless one of two scenarios occur. 1. We fight North Korea thus China too and are defeated and China unifies Korea and kicks us out. 2. We are able to defeat North Korea and China "totally" and then unify Korea ourselves. However I have a hard time envisioning that. What a mess! Good thing Bush took North Korea off the terror list huh? They sure deserved that.
Now South Korea keeps ratcheting up exercises seemingly instigating war with North Korea knowing the United States has 30,000 troops there and will come to their defense. Lost seems to be the fact that China got involved during the Korean war and they will get involved once again. This time things could be much different.

Gas pipeline to cross Afghanistan nullifying the real reason we went to war in Afghanistan
A deal has been struck on building a 1,700km (1,050m) pipeline to carry Turkmen natural gas across Afghanistan to Pakistan and India. Gas pipeline to cross Afghanistan
Most as usual paid no attention to what was happening in the world or to our demise in the White House when George W Bush was President. I want to remind you why almost 10 years ago some of us started calling Afghanistan pipestan in this part of the lie we are living today. Cheney Bush and Condi did all this. I discussed it ad nauseum. Everyone forgets but remember the secret White House meetings with the so called energy Czars?
They had meetings with the Taliban in the White House and in Crawford. After the Taliban said no to Bush putting a pipeline through Afghanistan Bush threatened to attack them and what a surprise, 9/11 was allowed to happen and we did. This is well worth a quick read at least after the Kennedy stuff but did you ever read we do not have clean hands in Afghanistan
After 10 years of trying to wake up the people, Politicians, MSM, and the world, I am resolved to the fact that the vast majority do not want to know the truth and will not get it until it is too late and I believe it is! There are no surprises here! What is happening with our infrastructure and financial collapse, 9/11, the supposed Anthrax attacks, the lie called the Patriot Act to give Bush the power to subvert our American and world order to emplace his version, the attack on Afghanistan, the slide to Iraq to get into the middle east to help Israel install a buffer zone and new middle east order. It and more has all been done on purpose!
Katrina, everything, right under your complacent unsuspecting noses while those who saw the life long alcoholic failure for what he was right from the start have been forced to watch this fool and suffer along with the rest of you and the world. At this point this mess is just beginning and the timing of this manufactured storm coming to a head right now is no coincidence but a set up for failure for Obama so the right can get back in and finish us off and finish emplacing what they think will be their New World Order! It will only result in the forever war Bush guaranteed years ago in his instigating Russia and anyone else that disagreed with his my way or the highway tactics. This will only end one way but let me give you a quick recap whose validity can not be denied!
Where to start? Years ago when I thought I could wake average people up I stopped writing books about the daily lie we were living under Bush! With 7 and many many manuscripts behind me I started to Blog on daily kos! After a couple of years there and realizing there were many right wing trolls there trying to hide and deny the truth I realized there too people were biased and playing games while America was just allowed to go down the tubes!
Kos is as you know left wing and they took offense that some of my information came from other countries and fodder for them was the fact that some of my information came from right wing sources. Personally in the total lie we are living today the truth is AWOL and you must search and discern it for yourself! Where you find it is of no consequence just finding it! To that end as to what is happening around the world have you ever heard about The right's world war maker Randy Scheunemann? Scary very scary he almost succeeded and still may have. There is enough documentation on our oil pipeline in Georgia to circumvent Russia and our efforts to go to war with Russia while once again lying and saying we only want peace but just read that little item on Randy Scheunemann!
"Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence ... a free people ought to be constantly awake," Washington warned in his Farewell Address. Our Founding Father was warning against the Randy Scheunemanns among us, agents hired by foreign powers to deceive Americans into fighting their wars. And none dare call it treason.
In the middle east we have been living a total lie from 9/11 on! You have not heard the truth once! Not on the events of 9/11,the Anthrax attacks which scared Congress to pass the so called Patriot Act and give Bush the abusive power he needed to attack Afghanistan for not allowing his pipeline through Afghanistan. The only remaining obstacle on 9-11 was the remaining agreement between the Taliban and Bridas Corporation
. The Bush Administration, Congress, many in our major media, and even the 9-11 Commission and Cheney Energy Task Force all know about Bridas Corporation because that Argentine oil and gas company was standing in the way of our US oil companies and UK oil companies. The Caspian Basin oil is landlocked and there are only so many ways to get that oil out of the ground, to the ocean ports and into your gas tanks or home heating oil tanks.
What a coincidence huh? There is the direct route from Turkmenistan across Iran to the ocean, but that is not politically popular since the overthrow of the Shah of Iran many years ago. There is: 1.) the route across the Caspian Sea westward, which is extremely costly; and through Azerbaijan through Turkey to the Mediterranean; and 2.) from Turkmenistan through Georgia to the Black Sea; and 3.) through the Ukraine to Europe; and 4.) the Turkmenistan through Afghanistan and Pakistan to the ocean. Until one of those solutions was in place, the holes being drilled into the ground by British Petroleum, Chevron, Exxon and others could not go anywhere and could not produce revenues for those companies.
A route northward through Russia would put US oil companies at risk to changes in Russian politics and the Eastward route through China was not deemed secure enough since China is soon to become the second largest user of petroleum in the world after the United States.
In short, the people that were in the Cheney Energy Task Force were the same people that stood to gain if we attacked Afghanistan and took the deal away from the Taliban and Bridas Corporation. They had spent years getting the deals, invested billions into drilling and could not turn a dollar of cash flow or profits until that pipeline was under US control. That is Economics 101 and when one considers that there is over $12 trillion in oil at stake and over $3 trillion in natural gas, that also might be Prime Motive Number 1 for 9-11.
They probably could have joint ventured that pipeline with Bridas, but then Argentina would have been raking in billions in hard cash and not hanging on for dear life as they are now. Zbigniew Brzezinski, former National Security advisor to Carter and Foreign Intelligence advisor to Reagan even wrote a book titled The Grand Chessboard , American Primacy and It's Geostrategic Imperatives about the grand adventure to take over the Caspian Basin and its mother lode of oil and natural gas. In case you are wondering, Mr. Brzezinski, as well as John Sununu, Nicholas Brady, James Baker, III and many other former Reagan and Bush I Administration people are also involved and have been for years. http://www.wanttoknow.info/brzezinskigrandchessboard
If you are like me, you see no "geostrategic imperative" about sending your sons or daughters, wife or husband, off to some far away place just so a few elite insiders can make billions in oil in a deal they have conspired to take over for at least the past three presidential administrations. That is exactly what they have done and exactly why they suppressed the investigations into 9-11 and the Cheney Energy Task Force.
Consider for a moment Condoleezza Rice, who used to sit on the Chevron Board of Directors at that exact time that Chevron made the decision to invest billions into oil and gas production in the Caspian Basin and without any way in sight to get that oil to ocean ports. You cannot convince me that Ms. Rice was unaware of Bridas Corporation and that they had beat US and UK oil companies to the punch way back in 1992 and 1993 when they starting signing oil and gas deals with the Turkmenistan government. You cannot convince me that Ms Rice was not completely aware of the geostrategic imperative of that oil pipeline across Afghanistan.
The Republic was led by a dishonest government that would tell any lie to carry out any objective where it involves money, greed and power. They cared not at all what they do in our name or what they did to undermine our freedoms and what this nation has always stood for. The Taliban would not okay the pipeline so 10 days later 9/11 happens and Afghanistan is attacked as was threatened! Another coincidence I know but from there the excuse was found to attack Iraq to get our military into the middle east to help Israel form their desired buffer and to establish a new middle east order that is guaranteed disorder for many generations to come if we are lucky!
Now! What is really going on in the middle east was planned before Bush. They only needed to wait for a brainless idiot to come along and prosecute the plan. As you know along came the life long failure liar and alcoholic! Remember "A Clean Break"? The Perle-Wurmser policy document demanded: 1) Destroy Yasser Arafat and the Palestinian Authority, blaming them for every act of Palestinian terrorism, including the attacks from Hamas, an organization which Sharon had helped launch during his early 1980s tenure as Minister of Defense. 2) Induce the United States to overthrow the Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq. 3) Launch war against Syria after Saddam's regime is disposed of, including striking Syrian military targets in Lebanon, and targets in Syria proper. 4) Parlay the overthrow of the Ba'athist regimes in Baghdad and Damascus into the "democratization" of the entire Arab world, including through further military actions against Iran, Saudi Arabia, and "the ultimate prize," Egypt (see Documentation following for the "Clean Break" report). Check out the report
* Now! With everything falling into place manufactured financial collapse of America aside which I have discussed numerous times but will discuss again later, events have gone too far and at this point must be reacted to regardless of who is President as whoever is behind Bush knows. Events with Israel attacking Gaza was facilitated by Bush's insistence on Democracy and of course Palestine voted in Hamas who is their champion! Israel will not stop now! The plan has gone too far! They will keep attacking until Syria and Iran get involved openly and then the US and Russia will get involved Despite President Obama we have a very tenuous future and it has all been done on purpose!
What a waste!

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and its Basij militia set up to protect the ruling system has become the ruling system!
Iran's president wresting power from parliament There are fears Ahmadinejad may become the sole power as the Parliament that use to control him is now being fired by him. I hate to tell them but since he stole that election June 6, 2009 and got away with it, it has been too late! I have written about it to no avail numerous times since.
Back then with the horror unleashed by the IRG and Basij and calls for death to opposition leaders by their General a Q & A on the IRG and the Basij is a must read! There is a question and answer session below that you will want to look at. The more I learned about The IRGC and the Basij the larger and more powerful they get. I am convinced they are now in control period!
They were set up to protect the ruling authority after 1979 and are supposed to be controlled By Ayatollah Khamenei who is supposed to be the final authority. I know Ahmadinejad and 2/3 of his first 21 member cabinet are ex IRGC members and that simply reinforces that I am increasingly led to think the IRGC has become the final authority not the Supreme leader.
The Supreme leader is appearing as a puppet needed to keep the religious leaders together and to make it appear that they are still in charge. I know I am not Iranian but I was stunned to find the thugs in the IRGC and the Basij number in the millions. General Yadollah Javani, director of the IRGC's political arm says his thugs we all saw in action beating and killing protesters prevented an attempt to overthrow Islamic rule. More BS!
From what I can see Kharroubi, Moussavi, and Khatami want a return to the peoples will and Islamic rule and the IRGC who is now in charge is preventing that at all costs. The IRGC as I now know has a very strong Political arm. The IRGC also conducts popular military training, they operate a domestic media apparatus and run education programs or should we say brain washing programs to constantly increase their numbers.
Since the 1979 Revolution they have also become a major contractor with ties to firms controlling billions of dollars in business, construction, finance and commerce and are a major contractor, with ties to firms controlling billions of dollars in business, construction, finance and commerce. The IRGC is thought to be factionalized as standouts such as ex IRGC officer Ali Larijani being critics of Ahmadinejad but I certainly do not think so. They have become a major force capable of taking control of Iran and I am afraid nothing less than that is what has happened.
the IRGC perpetrated the horror and brutality we have all witnessed in and out of jail and lord knows the horror we will never know about but to add insult to injury shortly after the farce of an election Brigadier General Yadollah Javani a senior official with Iran's increasingly powerful Revolutionary Guard was calling for the prosecution of two key opposition leaders and a former president, accusing them of fanning the protests that had gripped the nation since its disputed presidential election a year and a half ago.
Opposition leaders Mir Hossein Moussavi and Mehdi Karroubi, along with former reformist President Mohammad Khatami, he said should be tried for attempting to lead a Western-backed revolution that aimed to topple the regime. I am sick of hearing that crap. That was not western backed though I am sure they and us have been cheering this on. Those people merely want their true people led Republic back not the IRGC controlled Islamist Republic of Iran.
He wanted the judiciary to go after them, arrest them, put them on trial and punish them according to the law. Do you know what that will do to Iran? it will blow big time and you have to think that is what Javani wants. Then he will be able to get all this out in the open and have his millions of thugs put this to rest once and for all but I don't like what I see happening.
Javani heads the Guard's political bureau. The Guard, which was initially created to protect the leaders of the revolution, is under the direct control of Iran's supreme leader and enforces the governments' Islamic codes and morality supposedly but I believe they are actually in control. All the brutality we watched during the election and the iron fist of the IRGC and Basij controlled ultimately by Ahmadinejad we are now seeing come to a head as Ahmadinejad is now openly flaunting the other controls in Iran.
Please read the Q & A on Iran's Revolutionary Guard and the Basij militia and you will see for yourself who is really in control of Iran and how this is all going to play out! Q & A on Iran's Revolutionary Guard and the Basij militia

Richard Holbrooke's death could mean victory for the US and Afghanistan
I am sorry Holbrooke died but his time of my way or the highway does not work in Afghanistan. He was commended for his great job with China Korea, and Vietnam where he got his start but hell those were all failures to me. I will have to say we will get more success now that he is gone. The administration wanted to let him go because he butted heads with others. New direction for US in Afghanistan following Richard Holbrooke death
Obama to review post-Holbrooke Afghan policy
US Afghan policy 'hits al-Qaeda' Much of the momentum achieved by the Taliban has been arrested, the review says and that is true for many reasons! Obama does not get the credit he deserves with Afghanistan! Of late some 100 Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters and commanders has been killed in Pakistan and Afghanistan due to drone attacks and forays into Taliban strongholds.
We have had success of late but we will have more now I suspect. I was listening to ex Taliban fighters and their Commanders who fought NATO and the US for 6 years and figures the Government now cares about them so they have now stopped, They point out besides they are sick of fighting and we are leaving anyway. Great! That Is what I was hoping for from the beginning. At least long enough to let us leave then they can kill each other again.
Now that Holbrooke is gone I can see some of the good ideas now having some weight:
Obama: Significant Progress In Fighting al-Qaida, Taliban
When all is said and done I remember when it came out that Karzai was corrupt and he won the election. The people’s attitude was oh well, one corrupt Government is as good as the next .At least the Government is not killing and maiming the people in the name of Sharia law. The government might be corrupt but it is better than the alternative.
This is big and keeps getting better and better! I am pretty pleased that Gulbuddin Hekmatyar Representatives of his major insurgent faction have presented a formal 15-point peace plan to the Afghan government of Hamid Karzai. This is the first concrete proposal to end hostilities and get us the heck out of there. Obama can do this, he is doing it.
This would not even be a thought under Bush. As we said in Iraq the Afghan's too must come together so we can leave. They can then turn on each other as I fully expect to be the case in Iraq and also in Afghanistan. Anyway representatives of Hezb-e-Islami met with representatives of the Government. This is huge as Hezb-e-Islami, or Islamic operates under a separate command from the Taliban, it has links to the Taliban leadership and Al Qaeda and has fought on a common front against foreign forces in Afghanistan.
They only want what I want and that is a withdrawal date for all foreign forces on Afghani soil. That is doable under Obama. We can really do this! They want us to start in July and have it completed in 6 months. The 6 month time frame would have to be flexible and they would have to police the still militant Taliban and keep the peace amongst themselves even if only until we leave as I expect. Insurgent Faction Presents Afghan Peace Plan
Seems what the militants want holds more sway than most think and that is a good thing. NATO beginning to pull out of Afghanistan handing the reins over to the Afghan Government corrupt or not will free Obama up to do the same. They want to start handing over control in July like the Taliban wanted which is perfect. The Afghan government, which has been hampered by a Taliban insurgency, political corruption, a dysfunctional economy and a dependence on foreign assistance, is starting to take more responsibility for running the country's affairs. Great!
This is working and freeing Obama to start disengaging next year. Some compromise can be worked out here. Now if only the Taliban will cool it and cooperate. Their insurgency will only force us to stay. I hope they are smart enough to quell it until we start to disengage. I really think we can succeed in Afghanistan if success is "leave us alone so we can claim success and get out as schedule by "2014"

Julian Assange's poison pill?
Understanding the Julian Assange wiki leaks non-issue
Australia, Turkey, Russia, Middle East Nations, they are all down playing Wiki leaks but they all want him stopped. He wants Hillary fired and spying by US diplomats stopped. Like it or not that is what Governments do, all of them. Ruthless pompous self serving Assange should be stopped and now before he does some real damage. That is my only concern now!looks like Pakistan, Myanmar, and China are the losers right now They better beware! We should be thanking wiki leaks for the vital security information divulged and act at once against these countries.
Meanwhile according to the New York Times, "Justice Department lawyers are exploring whether Mr. Assange and Wiki Leaks could be charged with inducing, or conspiring in violations of the Espionage Act." At this point hundreds of thousands of so called top secret documents have been released and I know he thinks he is going to bring Governments down and the US wants him tried for espionage I can only see all this as comical and nothing else right now.
It was very interesting listening to to what his mother and stepfather had to say about Julian and his supposed goal to hold people to honesty but it all boiled down to the part where early on he expressed a hatred of Governments and that is what it all boils down to, to me. The secret life of Julian Assange, his stepfather speaks
Up to now I find all this to be a joke and really when all is said and done only harmful to Governments in Julian Assange's perverted mind. I have seen no harm here only in Julian's mind other than some red faces in the Governments which has been comical and nothing else. Like it or not and though the truth is always denied, we have heard it all before so I have to wonder and laugh at Assange's so called poison pill scheduled to automatically drop if he is harmed or something happens to him. Julian Assange's poison pill
I would not be concerned as nothing would go to any Government of consequence. Anything of that importance would be kept to yourself until it becomes undeniable fact. So I do not understand the hullabaloo by Governments inciting the ire of Wiki-Leaks supporters. I have friends who have said Julian Assange should get the peace prize which to me is another joke exemplified by Russia who was the butt of supposedly harmful statements, saying Julian should get the peace prize as a way to keep him safe. Julian Assange should get Nobel Peace Prize, says Russia
* In closing! He has disclosed nothing of consequence yet. He can keep himself safe by stopping any further attempts to bring down perceived dishonest Governments and businesses. Receiving the peace prize after all has not done imprisoned imprisoned Chinese human rights activist Liu Xiaobo much good has it?

South Korea will not stop and North Korea threatens attack as world tensions mount
Russia warns, North Korea warns, South Korea & US warns while China is silent and announces they are building an Aircraft Carrier, what's that tell you?
North Korea denounced artillery drills by the South as Bill Richardson arrived on a mission to reduce tensions.
North Korea said on Friday it would strike again at the South if a live-fire drill by Seoul on a disputed island went ahead, with an even stronger response than last month's shelling that killed four people.
UN chief urges North Korea to show restraint
Russia warns on South Korea drill
China has confirmed for the first time that it is preparing to build an aircraft carrier, a move set to heighten international concerns over the rapid expansion of its naval power. Beijing announced its step quietly with one sentence buried at the end of a lengthy government publication.
Japan to bolster defense against China
No words needed, This just gets worse and worse daily. This situation is changing so rapidly and not for the good that we just discussed that I at one time thought there would one day be a reunified Korean Peninsula but not the way we and South Korea envision it. Just remember something! One way or the other this is going to end in war and I was listening to the so called experts shoot blanks having fun discussing all the wrong reasons and solutions and what is happening is very simple.
We forget history but China does not. They remember the Korean war that they fought too and the fact that General MacArthur wanted to take China too. To bad he didn't! Yes, Beijing has been using North Korean belligerence in order to keep us off their door step. They have also for as long while been abusing their increasing financial and military strength. Yes in the past we too did it but that time must be over if we are to move successfully through the 21st century.
China says nothing while the rest of the world freaks out and they are building aircraft carriers to project their power in Asia and around the world. China's real role here is her goal to keep Democracy off her doorstep and the Kim regime in power because they will remain a puppet whose strings China can pull. Kim Jong Il said he was committed to establishing "a lasting peace system" on the Korean peninsula and to making it nuclear-free "through dialogue and negotiations" a lasting peace system, what is that? donations of food and supplies from us while he maintains his 7 million man army for China and continues to toy with advanced weapons and starve its people?
In the end I don't care what they say. This is a confrontation long in the works. MacArthur was right wanting to go right through North Korea then China back than because it would eventually have to be done. There is a lot behind the scenes to be concerned with here and yes China is our banker but they are over stepping their boundaries. We owe them trillions but with Russia's cooperation we can come out on top here. I fully expect we would and in the end being victors we would cancel our debt to China!
I have had those that point out Russia and the US will never join against China because of Russia and China's connection in the Shanghai cooperation but don't forget China is also connected with South Korea and Japan and look what that's worth. Dmitri Medvedev realizes as I do that Russia and the US need each other and our close relationship is critical to both of us proceeding successfully through the 21st century.
We know China's most senior Diplomat was just in North Korea to show support for China's guard dog. I no longer see a unified peninsula allowed to happen unless one of two scenarios occur. 1. We fight North Korea thus China too and are defeated and China unifies Korea and kicks us out. 2. We are able to defeat North Korea and China "totally" and then unify Korea ourselves. However I have a hard time envisioning that. What a mess! Good thing Bush took North Korea off the terror list huh? They sure deserved that.

Bowe Bergdahl Alive!
Bowe Bergdahl Alive! New pictures of US soldier held by Taliban for 18 months
Remember when Bergdahl was first captured retired Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Peters an ex army intelligence officer I have yet to find any proof of combat duty is willing to condemn PFC Bergdahl for desertion. He said if Bergdahl betrayed his fellow soldiers by deserting while in Afghanistan that he would not mind if the Taliban killed him and save the US time and money. I know Peters is a Faux news pundit but I refuse to believe him or anyone there will condemn a fellow American to serve their Political purpose.
I feel for this man, this is Afghanistan not the US. Do you remember the nonsensical rhetoric coming from Fox news? Fox News Contributor Ralph Peters: Taliban Should Kill Captured US ...
Bergdahl was captured June 30th under what is still unknown circumstances. Two US officials said Bergdahl appears to have just wandered off his post unarmed. I also heard he just wandered into Town to visit Afghani's he thought had befriended him. I also heard he was drunk and wandered off base to be picked up by the Taliban. Also that he was grabbed by civilians and turned over to the Taliban. I am stunned to hear betrayal and desertion even from a Faux pundit.
I mean come on. This is Afghanistan. We are perceived as the invaders the infidels the enemy unwanted in their country. I can not envision anyone being that naive, that anti American that stupid as to go A.W.O.L. in Afghanistan. We heard the horror stories over the years. These people are among the most feared ruthless combatants in the world. Walk into their hands? Come on! Wandering into the Sahara Desert naked would be preferential.
Bergdahl is an American an American soldier an adventurer by those who know him. I refuse to believe he is totally stupid! Faux pundit Peters has an obvious proven pension for murder.A while back I remember him advocating the murder off journalists by our military. Peters calls for military killing of Journalists
I guess they can be thankful they are going to Stateside prisons because in the past he has also advocated killing all the prisoners in Gitmo. I do not have to remind you that many were known to be innocent.
Many people including me want to see Bergdhal rescued first and then find out the truth. Despite the idiocy expressed by Faux news pundits Bergdahl has a lot of Americans very concerned. Capture of US Soldier, 23, Shakes Small Idaho Town
It is bad enough knowing the Taliban have captured him. I really feel for him knowing the Haqanni's have him. They are ruthless! Sirajuddin Haqqani travels regularly into Afghanistan to coordinate with field commanders and occasionally to Peshawar and South Waziristan to connect with militants there.

The dangers of republicans to the United States and the world!
Bush's entire Presidency was marked not only with war and taking care of the rich but by ending FDR's legacy. Remember his drive to reduce unfunded liabilities i.e. social security, Medicaid, and Medicare? Can you imagine the crisis if he was allowed to let social security be privatized as Republicans want to? When the full scope of this financial collapse is realized average Americans would be screwed and there would be a Revolution.
I always said Bush or those behind him learned their lessons well and anything they touched would be much worse than a like event in History. During the Depression when Roosevelt was trying to rebuild America we knew it happened on the Republican's watch and who to blame. They also knew and wanted to help fix it not make it worse as Republicans are doing today.
Anyway think back and you will see that everything was done on purpose and especially the timing was no coincidence. Bush and Greenspan kept the collapse off until he was out of office. People say get over it! Move on! However we will never get over it or be able to forget Bush as much as we want as his damage will affect our and the worlds lives forever. No I am not giving that bunch too much credit.
They shaped our future and the future of the whole world like it or not! Get over it, not hardly! The debt clock had to be started during Reagan's time because of his success but could only register 9 trillion. Because of Bush's so called success it had to be altered to register 10 trillion. Now the debt is moving so fast it is going virile. How far off can bankruptcy be especially knowing how bad it really is? To top it off there is a drive since Bush to reduce unfunded liabilities, the needy!
The "Unfunded Liabilities" Ruse: The bandwagon both sides are jumping on while people continue to lose their houses and jobs and it will to no surprise get worse. Under Bush the mainstream media had been parroting claims that the federal government, particularly the Social Security and Medicare programs, have dozens of trillions of dollars in "unfunded liabilities."
For example, USA Today ran a long feature in early October 2004 that proclaimed that "the long-term economic health of the United States is threatened by $53 trillion in government debts and liabilities that start to come due in four years." Many other articles, news reports, and commentary have included comparable numbers that make the fiscal future look not just frightening but entirely unmanageable. Just put Bush's trillions in there and have a real hemorrhage.
These claims appear aimed at scaring us into making radical changes in our social insurance system for old people. But whatever the motivation, how scared should we be? What is true and what is phony about the alarms that fiscal disaster is looming just ahead? It is a frightening thought, discontinuing social security or even cutting social security, Medicaid, and Medicare. It is all millions have.
I remember Romney when stumping for McCain saying it should be discontinued and the countries big enemy was the Democrats and their effort to take care of the elderly and the needy. Bush spent years cutting "unfunded liabilities" and trying to wipe out President Roosevelt's legacy. If the Republican's get back in they will do just that.Social Security turns 75, but will it see 75 more? Not if the Republicans have anything to say about it!
All Democrats and all independents better make sure they come out in 2012 to get President Obama reelected, our future depends on it. If Republicans get back in the White House they are going to finish off average Americans and Bush's mis-agenda of destruction. Now add Bernanke starting to get it but still does not realize this financial and job disaster is another Bush created mess that is barely starting. Bernanke says between the economic peak and the end of last year, 8.5 million jobs in America were lost with only 1 million jobs being regained since then. He says it could take 4 to 5 years for the U.S. to get back to a "more normal unemployment rate of 5% or 6%".
We are in trouble!

Do we need any more proof Obama is on his own? The two party system is our biggest enemy!
Top Obama aide defends tax deal as Obama caves to Republicans and Democrats fume
Republicans and Democrats have both turned out to be the enemy of we the people. Republicans call Democrats the enemy and and Democrats call Republicans the enemy while they are both the enemy of we the people and President Obama. They only care about doing the right thing for their party and as I keep saying from day one, President Obama and average Americans are on their own.
So it's about time as Obama charts his own course
When I remember Romney stumping for McCain for President and he said democrats are America's biggest enemy it gave me chills.
Our trying to take care of the sick and elderly and everyone who needs help is why we have all these problems.
Bush was always reducing what they call unfunded liabilities "social security, Medicaid, and Medicare, amongst other things.
We are absolutely screwed if Republicans succeed in getting the power to repeal Health care, privatize Social Security, continue and enhance welfare for the wealthy, and taking Obama to court for crimes against America.
That should have been Bush's reward for destroying America and then flying away proud of his accomplishments. Not a good future we have before us and remember the state of the Political and environmental world of today!
This recession is not over it has barely begun. Think of the frightening prospect of of putting this mess in the hands of the know nothing Republican party hijackers, the tea party voodoo fools.That is frightening! That possibility is what we are now facing.As we just discussed, only Bin Laden can end this so called war on terror he started and only keeping health care and staying on the track of the recovery of "our" America Obama is trying to get us on, will give us a future, success into the 21st century.
The Brown Shirts I mean tea party have successfully hijacked the Republican party as threatened if you have not noticed. If they get in control what happens will not be pretty nor will the "liberty" they want. You have seen it before and know the results. If the so called tea party gets in control of the US it will be much worse mark my words.
We need those companies that were increasingly incentified by Bush to send their companies and jobs overseas to be forced to come back to the US. Obama's plan is doable and not as destructive to companies as those against the plan want you to think. We have to start putting the people ahead of companies
We are in serious trouble as you know, if we can not get our manufacturing base back and put the people back to work and enable them to pay their mortgages and pay the bills. I refuse to believe Republicans and other turncoats can get away with voting against the people and a return to Bush's destruction of "our America and world order" Obama has finally started to gather forces again to finally get something done. We better show the tea party Republicans we are not going to let them undo any progress and finish destroying our America. We must come out and keep his agenda moving forward. Get out the vote!
For a while there the Republicans looked lost forever. They took a back seat and let the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck lie and whip up those in America angry at losing their version of America. Glen Beck and Sarah Palin were the leaders in the dumbing down of America. The tea party seems to have silent control of the Republican party now and since the election have allowed the leaders of the party to come back to the forefront or the leaders are done using them for now and have stepped forward again.
John Boehner, Mitch Mcconnell, Eric Cantor, they are frightening to look at let alone hear their rich man fascist stance. They are war mongers to top it off and with the likes of Newt Gingrich who wants to attack Iran as President we would be in more serious trouble than we are now. We can not allow them to get back in. I wish there was a way for Obama to separate himself from the Democratic party and run as an American who simply wants to see average Americans and our America succeed and not the party. The two party system is our enemy!

US-Tokyo-Seoul alliance better late than never as Japan to Shift Its Military Toward Threats From China
US-Tokyo-Seoul alliance better late than never
As Japan turns its Cold War-era defense strategy aimed at containing Russia to focus on threats to the south and west of the country namely China and North Korea. Japan faces up to threats from China, North Korea
Russia prods N.Korea on nuclear program and condemn their attack on South Korea
Japan to Shift Its Military Toward Threats From China
This just gets worse and worse daily! This situation is changing so rapidly and not for the good that we just discussed that I at one time thought there would one day be a reunified Korean Peninsula but not the way we and South Korea envision it. Just remember something! One way or the other this is going to end in war and I was listening to the so called experts shoot blanks having fun discussing all the wrong reasons and solutions and what is happening is very simple.
We forget history but China does not. They remember the Korean war that they fought too and the fact that General MacArthur wanted to take China too. To bad he didn't! Yes, Beijing has been using North Korean belligerence in order to keep us off their door step. They have also for as long while been abusing their increasing financial and military strength. Yes in the past we too did it but that time must be over if we are to move successfully through the 21st century.
A reminder: Wiki leaks at least has let it be known that China would accept a unified Korea as long as we were not there. That will never happen as I am sure I am not the only one that believes China would take advantage of that and pre planned or not that is why exercises with South Korea and Japan were necessary. China can blame themselves or as I am thinking at this point they are purposely bringing about another Korean war as they are now too powerful to stop in their eyes. !
China's real role here is her goal to keep Democracy off her doorstep and the Kim regime in power because they will remain a puppet whose strings China can pull. Kim Jong Il said he was committed to establishing "a lasting peace system" on the Korean peninsula and to making it nuclear-free "through dialogue and negotiations" a lasting peace system, what is that? donations of food and supplies from us while he maintains his 7 million man army for China and continues to toy with advanced weapons and starve its people?
In the end I don't care what they say. This is a confrontation long in the works. MacArthur was right wanting to go right through North Korea then China back than because it would eventually have to be done. There is a lot behind the scenes to be concerned with here and yes China is our banker but they are over stepping their boundaries. We owe them trillions but with Russia's cooperation we can come out on top here. I fully expect we would and in the end being victors we would cancel our debt to China!
I have had those that point out Russia and the US will never join against China because of Russia and China's connection in the Shanghai cooperation but don't forget China is also connected with South Korea and Japan and look what that's worth. Dmitri Medvedev realizes as I do that Russia and the US need each other and our close relationship is critical to both of us proceeding successfully through the 21st century.
We know China's most senior Diplomat was just in North Korea to show support for China's guard dog. I no longer see a unified peninsula allowed to happen unless one of two scenarios occur. 1. We fight North Korea thus China too and are defeated and China unifies Korea and kicks us out. 2. We are able to defeat North Korea and China "totally" and then unify Korea ourselves. However I have a hard time envisioning that. What a mess! Good thing Bush took North Korea off the terror list huh? They sure deserved that.

Israel Criticizes Argentina's Recognition of Palestinian State which followed Brazil's recognition of pre 1967 Borders: It's a movement!
The latest activity was Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' request from Turkey to recognize the Palestinian state. Palestinian officials expect that more Latin American countries, such as Uruguay and Peru as well as some European countries will soon make their declaration of recognizing the future Palestinian state. This momentum will give the stalled talks the kick it needs. Israel Criticizes Argentina's Recognition of Palestinian State which followed Brazil's recognition of 1967 Borders I love it, it's about time!
Palestinian's have bent backwards: Lack of a peace solution to the Israeli crisis we created keeps being blamed on the Palestinians and I for one am quite sick of it! Israel could lease Palestinian lands in exchange for Palestinian statehood: report I am thinking this can be done after all my apprehension. With Palestine rebuffing Iran, Iran would be the one left out in the cold.
Palestinian refusal to recognize Israel as a Jewish state shows they are not serious about two-state solution. What about Israel's refusal to go back to 1967 borders, to stop building settlements, or to let Palestine have a homeland free of Jews if they want? What about UN resolution 181 established in 1947?
PLO wants map from US with future Israeli border Can you blame them? No bargaining make Israel adhere to UN resolution 181, no alternative! It is more than fair and equitable.
The only thing to do is to force the instigating war mongers Israel to adhere to 181 or leave them to their own demise and Iran would see to it. You know, first reading how Israel and Palestine was allotted their territories in 1948 I do not condone that Israel has not been forced to adhere to that resolution. We, the US Britain and Europe especially are as guilty as Israel for not insisting Israel adhere to UN Resolution 181
"In the eyes of Palestinians, the occupation began in '48 and not in '67," Ya'alon told Army Radio. "Not only Hamas thinks this – Abu Mazen [Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas does too." I think that too! I refuse to believe we took it upon ourselves to displace the Palestinians and give their land to the Jews in 1948 because we felt bad for them.
I hate to say it but I agree with Ahmadinejad that if Europe and the US felt so bad about what happened to Jews during WW2 then they should have given them part of their country. If they did we would not be in this situation. There will never be peace in the middle east unless there is an agreement to go back to UN Resolution 181 that was established in 1947.
We should in fact take care of Jewish American's and American's and our interests in Israel and otherwise tell them in no uncertain terms they are on their own if they continue to instigate war not peace and expecting us to come to their rescue. I love the way this is gaining momentum and I finally believe there is a chance for a two State solution but not peace in the Middle East. * The ball is in Israel's court!
