The U.S. removed Iraq as a threat to Israel. Israel is now free to continue bulldozing homes, killing inhabitants and putting settlers in the occupied territories. Israel engages in some sham negotiations which fool no one, while continuing to reject partition of Palestine. The Obama administration has had no effect on the continued expansion of Israel and the bulldozing of people's homes.
This is terrible reporting by CBS. They need a science editor. They should have consulted someone with expertise in laboratory diagnosis of influenza virus. There are plenty of review articles and book chapters on this complex topic. PhD virologists, specialists in infectious disease and pathologists subspecializing in microbiology can explain that throat swabs have a high false negative rate. The gold standard for measuring influenza incidence is measurement of antibody in convalescent serum at three weeks post illness.
It's a religion for the post-Christian west.
I promise never to call him President Obama again. From now on he is the Nobel Laureate.
Our day will be November 9, the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall. In the 20th century, 180 million people died in wars and revolutions, over 100 million at the hands of communists.
In my estimation, about 30% of Americans are unemployable, due to a failing educational system, dysfunctional families, and the growth of the counterculture. Television and video games created a generation with the attention span of a kitten. A minority of high school graduates are at 12th grade level. The American work ethic, except in a few minorites, has collapsed in parallel with the educational system and economy. We can continue to survive importing Chinese and Indian students to populate our science and engineering graduate schools and develop the technology of the future. Perhaps those unemployable, uneducable, borderline sociopathic people can find work as federal, state and local sinecure cubicle workers.
Surely you have all noticed that the Obama administration keeps Hillary Clinton at least 8,000 miles from any trouble spot. That explains her frequent trips to Tierra del Fuego and Labrador.
The president doesn't listen to his advisors. He is the consumate multitasker who answers his own blackberry. It should not surprise anyone that he does so poorly
U.S. military doctrine since WW2 has pushed "maneuver war." Functionally, the U.S. is now pursuing a Maginot line static defense of the border provinces. We've learned nothing.
Withdraw from the border provinces. Hold Kabul. Let the enemy move into the border provinces where we can engage them at the time and place of our choosing, all the while bombarding them with the one weapon in which we have total superiority: pornography made in California.
1. If Israel bombs the Iranian nuclear sites or Iran explodes a bomb, I'll be rich and you won't. My oil stocks will soar as oil returns to $140. And I bet one or the other happens in the next five years.
2. Imagine how President Obama's healthcare address to congress three weeks ago looked to Iran, Israel, China and Russia. The leader of the free world telling outrageous lies to an adoring media. Foreign leader's analysists see this another example of American degeneracy.
Of course, the French loved the speech Obama is just like a Frenchman, except he bathes more often and uses deodorant.
Google search "osirak redux." Iran's bomb program is widely dispersed after Osirak, but there have to be choke points known to the best intelligence service in the world. Most of the people speculating talk about how the Israelis will get across Jordan and American controlled Iraqi airspace. Israel has the tankers to go down the Red Sea and across to Iran. They practiced long distance flights with tanking over the Med in summer 2008. That's how U.S. F-16s go all the way across the Atlantic. Israeli tankers and fighter bombers could squawk as if commercial flights headed for Africa and spoof U.S. AWACS over Iraq.
Western civilization has sought to contain expansionist Islam since 800 A.D. We can defeat the idea of imposing submission to this curious religion if we are patient and wise. There are forces of toleration in Islam. America excels, like no other country, in the production of pornography. If you were an Islamist, which would you rather do, die blowing up buildings in New York, or watch Paris Hilton on your DVD?
