A bit of perspective on the Current International Kerfuffle:
George Monbiot: The US missile defence system is the magic pudding that will never run out

Poland is just the latest fall guy for an American foreign policy dictated by military industrial lobbyists in Washington

It's a novel way to take your own life. Just as Russia demonstrates what happens to former minions that annoy it, Poland agrees to host a US missile defence base. The Russians, as Poland expected, respond to this proposal by offering to turn the country into a parking lot. This proves that the missile defence system is necessary after all: it will stop the missiles Russia will now aim at Poland, the Czech Republic and the UK in response to, er, their involvement in the missile defence system.

The American government insists that the interceptors, which will be stationed on the Baltic coast, have nothing to do with Russia: their purpose is to defend Europe and the US against the intercontinental ballistic missiles Iran and North Korea don't possess. This is why they are being placed in Poland, which, as every geography student in Texas knows, shares a border with both rogue states.

They permit us to look forward to a glowing future, in which missile defence, according to the Pentagon, will "protect our homeland ... and our friends and allies from ballistic missile attack"; as long as the Russians wait until it's working before they nuke us. The good news is that, at the present rate of progress, reliable missile defence is only 50 years away. The bad news is that it has been 50 years away for the past six decades.

Ummm, actually they are considered "first-strike" weapons. Because (now think about this...), if the United States had these "defensive" weapons in place, we could launch a "first-strike" against Russia then when Russia tried to retaliate our "defensive" weapons could kill theirs before they hit us. This is why Russia considers these "first-strike" weapons.

Imagine what the U.S. would be doing right now if Cuba, Mexico and Canada said they would accept Russia's "defensive" system?

'Here we go' is literal for me. I will not continue to live under fascist, republican rule. I retired in April, and my wife last June. Other than family, there is nothing compelling us to remain here. Over the past 3+ years, I have been researching living abroad. I looked at several options, especially Uruguay, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. We have settled on the latter, and I am not worried about ever running out of money. It is a near certainty we shall make the move.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S TALK ABOUT EDUCATION. AMERICA RANKS 19TH IN HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATIONS, BUT WE'RE FIRST IN INCARCERATION. EVERYBODY SAYS THEY WANT MORE ACCOUNTABILITY IN SCHOOLS?

UH-HUH.

ABOUT 80 PERCENT OF AMERICA SAYS THEY SUPPORT MERIT PAY FOR THE BEST TEACHERS. NOW, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOUR STUMP SPEECH ON EDUCATION.

YES. YES. AND FIND BAD TEACHERS ANOTHER LINE OF WORK.

http://www.rickwarrennews.com/transcript/civil_forum_transcript-05.txt

McCain was not asked about "bad" teachers but Obama was (youtube video link). Yet "somehow" McCain able to answer the "bad teachers" question. "Find them another line of work".

This comment tells me that our politicians don't know a damned thing about education!

I know several teachers who started in poor, inner-city districts with little parental support. Their student's test scores were terrible, even though they were very good dedicated teachers!

Then, the got some experience and moved on to wealthy suburban districts where parents monitor their children very closely.
Now, their students test scores are among the best in the state! Did they go from being clueless and incompetent to great? NO!

Also, that 19th in the world bullshit you quote is meaningless. Most countries only test a very small percentage of their students, the ones who go on to a college prep high school curriculum. The U.S. tests ALL of their population. If I were to pick the top 15% of students in any country, the U.S. (or any country for that matter) would have a hard time outscoring them using a 100% sample group.

Educational failure is the biggest myth the republican's (who hate public education) have perpetrated on the American public since "tax cuts increase revenue" was spawned!

Also, some outstanding teachers I know, have stayed in the inner-city schools trying to help those kids. They could have left too, but they want to change those communities. God bless em.' They are the most dedicated educators I know, even though the test scores are bad. The worse thing they could do would be to replace these teachers because of test scores. Standardized tests scores are the least of their worries in those communities.

How about standardized tests for republican's? There wouldn't be a half dozen R's left wandering the corridor's of Washington. The politicians are a much bigger problem than our children have ever been!

I'm having trouble imagining these guys handing over power if Obama wins. They'll either have to destroy every document produced over the past eight years or declare martial law. The risk that they might miss a document is just too great, so suspension of the law will be necessary.

The example set by Pakistan has surely been studied closely. The example set by Putin of naming his successor and remaining in actual control must be much admired. I'm thinking a transitional government in which Bush leaves, another pawn is brought in as figurehead, with Cheney staying on in a consigliere role.

In order to maintain freedom in America, it will be necessary to suspend freedom in America, indefinitely, they will tell us. And the media will urge us to rally around our leaders and denounce those dirty revolutionaries who refuse to comply.

My wife and I thought exactly the same thing when Katie CutiePie said, "Admit it." As though Plame should somehow atone for the error of her ways. She did the same thing to Joseph Wilson when he wouldn't give her the answer she was looking for by saying to him, "You're still seething, aren't you?"

The beauty of the whole thing, though, was that these aren't typical ignorant Americans, cowed and star-struck by a famous person telling them they've been "bad." They both had ready comebacks for Couric. We felt their responses made Couric look small and partial.

Actually, PeterG, you're referring to Libertarians -- capital L, either members of the Libertarian Party or people who espouse right-wing Libertarian positions.

Civil libertarians are not the same. The ACLU, for instance, is a largely civil libertarian organization. Civil libertarians simply oppose government interference with (ahem) civil liberties -- the basic right to pursue happiness in one's private life to the extent that one does not infringe on the rights of others.

The Libeqrats' Party (should it ever actually come to be) would not oppose social programs. That's why I put "socially progressive" after "civil libertarian" in the description.

The same sources that spread the un-"truth" about Iraq's WMD,s, ties to al-CIA-duh, imminent threat, Pakistani stability, and Iranian enrichment is also the same un-"trusted" sources informing us about who's doing what in and to Georgia. Yet, these same sources report about Georgian towns burned down with out ever seeing the towns... And no one is calling B.S. on this propaganda...?

Humm... who attacked whom first?
Humm... who attacked what first?
Humm... who asked for military protection and from whom?
Humm... under U.N. charters of war, who's allowed to retaliate?

When we become familiar with the FACTS, then the propaganda pictures become that much more clear.

Q U E S T I O N:
If Baja Mexico sought to separate from Mexico proper and asked the U.S. for military cover should it become necessary and then the US proceeded to set up a military base in Baja Mexico to protect American tourists visiting there and Mexico proper attacked our military outpost and the surrounding civilian populations, would it be proper for the US to not retaliate? What would it be called if Venezuela propagated the image that the USA was the aggressor? Now, how is this any different?

George Bush representing America, joyful. I've been thinking and I decided that it is unfair to constantly point out all the ways George Bush has failed as a president (or at life, or as a human), so I compiled a list of all his successes to date, and it is a surprisingly long list check it out;

The Successes of George W. Bush

• He successfully impregnated Laura….twice
• He has succeeded in turning America into a rogue nation; he also succeeded in making us the laughing stock of the world.
• He has successfully enriched the lives of many, many really rich people
• He has successfully disenfranchised even more people.
• He has successfully polarized an entire nation if not the world.
• He has lied most successfully if not effectively.
• He has succeeded in causing the deaths of more Iraqis’ in five years than Saddam Hussein was able to pull off in a couple of decades.
• He has successfully worn out his welcome.
• He has successfully proven that government is best left in the hands of competent individuals.
• He has successfully earned the hatred of not just elements of the military, but the entire world.
• He has successfully declared a war on a verb.
• He has consistently succeeded at being a failure at all he does.
• He has successfully become a more successful criminal than Al Capone.
• Where many others have failed, he has succeeded in breaking the entire U.S Military.
• He succeeded in taking a budget surplus, and turning it into one of the biggest deficits in history all within his first term.
• He has succeeded in making cronyism and corruption into desirable traits in government officials.
• Although not smart enough to have thought it up himself, he has succeeded in making election theft look easy.
• He has successfully fooled some of the people some of the time.
• To paraphrase Rep. Rangel; he successfully shatters the myth of white supremacy once and for all.
• He has successfully embarrassed not only himself, but the entire United States of America in every country he’s set foot in.
• He has succeeded in becoming the worst president of all time.
• He has successfully destroyed not only his own credibility, but also that of the Republican Party and of America in general.
• He has succeeded in spreading more fear and terror than Freddy Krueger in his prime.
• As Governor of Texas, he succeeded in executing more people than any other U.S Governor in any other state in the entire history of the United States.

Actually, I thought the goal was to prove that government really is EVIL (if it's possible for a guy like him to usurp control of it, and STAY in control of it), and should be eliminated, which has been the conservative/libertarian goal all along. Now even liberals believe this.

So, ironically, if you're a conservative/libertarian who gets elected to office, there is no way you can lose! If you govern well, you prove that conservatives are inherently good. If you govern poorly, you prove that government is inherently bad.

The think that scares me most about Bush/Cheney is that they've almost come to the point of proving that democracy does NOT WORK. The trash can of history is full of failed nations that had wonderfully democratic sounding constitutions, but they were failed by the human element. It would be a real tragedy if the U.S. were added to that list because of THESE GUYS, and (more importantly) because of US.

I can't wait for the day this bastard will leave the white house for the last time. It will be like the heavens are opening up for the American people.

Why don't you guys think missile defenses are necessary in Poland and the Czech Republic to defend against missiles from Iran? Don't you guys know that those missiles make refueling stops at the Russian border with Belarus and the Ukraine?

If Poland and the Czech Republic need an anti-missile system to defend against Iranian missiles, I can send them the 'magic eraser' tool from my Adobe Photoshop upgrade.

On Aug. 19, 1934, a plebiscite in Germany approved the vesting of sole executive power in Adolf Hitler as Fuhrer.

Reich Bishop at Victory Fete Says Hitler's Anti-Semitism Is Fight for Christianity
By FREDERICK T. BIRCHALL
Special Cable to THE NEW YORK TIMES

Berlin, Monday, Aug. 20 -- Eighty-nine and nine-tenths per cent of the German voters endorsed in yesterday's plebiscite Chancellor Hitler's assumption of greater power than has ever been possessed by any other ruler in modern times. Nearly 10 per cent indicated their disapproval. The result was expected.

The German people were asked to vote whether they approved the consolidation of the offices of President and Chancellor in a single Leader-Chancellor personified by Adolf Hitler. By every appeal known to skillful politicians and with every argument to the contrary suppressed, they were asked to make their approval unanimous.

Nevertheless 10 per cent of the voters have admittedly braved possible consequences by answering "No" and nearly [text unreadable] made their answers, ineffective by spoiling the simplest of ballots. There was a plain short question and two circles, one labeled "Yes" and the other "No," in one of which the voter had to make a cross. Yet there were nearly 1,000,000 spoiled ballots.

Everyone knows you don't go full retard.

we dont need no stinkin' single payer modern scientific health care in the USA, when we have faith based health care, praise the lord.

When it comes to saving lives, God trumps doctors for many Americans.

An eye-opening survey reveals widespread belief that divine intervention can revive dying patients.

20 percent of docs also say God can reverse terminal prognosis, study finds

hmmm, I bet the insurance companies who take our premiums every week/month are happy about this.
(and deny treatment, claims and refunds based on statistics and likely outcome)

Hate to spoil the party..Bush and Chaney are not leaving...get ready for the takeover...

Well; Chimpy is off the wagon big time now and as seen in the Chinese Olympic photos, unfit for office and very impeachable,
Cheney is missing (in a PR sense) presumed hiding for the last couple of years...
Chimpy has addiction and psychological problems, Cheney's heart condition (and guilt due to bad PR) is keeping him out of the public view.
McDumb is their great white Republican hope and their legacy for the next four eight years...

McCain: ‘I’m proud’ of adviser’s lobbying connection.»

In an interview with USA Today, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said he had no problem with his senior adviser Randy Scheunemann’s close lobbying ties to the Republic of Georgia:

“I’m proud to have supported them,” McCain said of Georgia in an interview on the campaign plane. “And I’m so proud that so many of my friends have done so, who also believe in freedom and democracy.”

Scheunemann had been employed as a lobbyist for Georgia at the same time he was providing foreign policy advice to McCain, lobbying McCain himself nearly 50 times between 2004 and 2007.
