OBAMA TO SEND 40,000 MORE TROOPS TO BUSH'S FAILED WAR IN AFGHANISTAN.

That ought to do the trick.

When will government of the people, by the politicians, for the corporations perish from this Earth?
Not soon enough!
I read that 24 of Pakistan's 26 army divisions are positioned along the India, Kashmir border while the Taliban takes territory in the North.
So in a lot of ways our additional troops help Pakistan maintain its defense against our other ally India.
Yea the war's making perfect sense now.
And there's been a heavy Taliban presence along the Indian border for some time now, no thanks to the ISI. Who do you think the "irregulars" who, from time to time, infiltrate India from Pakistan are anyway?
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
bono were president.
More than two-thirds of the "trillion-dollar" (over ten years) healthcare plan pays for itself. The legislative and media hysteria is over how to fund the other $30 billion or so. There is NEVER any question about burdening our children and grandchildren with the costs of our wars.
Maybe if we called it the Domestic War On Suffering And Death...
It ain't official until Obama actually announces it, and this story was "leaked." By someone with an agenda, I'm sure.

More? Less? None?
I need numbers dammit!
100,000 troops for 1000 years is what the CBS article seems to say.
That we already have 68,000 troops in Afghanistan.
Just imagine that Obama is going to place another 40,000 troops there. And I have heard reports that the Taliban are saying, "We are in this for the long term..."
This WILL prove to be Obama's Vietnam.
When the American people realize how the health care legislative "mandate" will personally be affecting them, then couple that with the sour economic downturn and the U.S. military getting it's ass kicked in Afghanistan/Pakistan/Iraq....and....
Obama will be the lamest duck that ever quacked.
"The US has an army of 90,000 soldiers in Afghanistan and is spending $100bn a year, but has still been unable to defeat 20,000-25,000 Taliban who receive no pay at all." - Patrick Cockburn
Isn't that the real question?
Only when the last tree has died
and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught
will we realize we cannot eat money.
When the American people realize how the health care legislative "mandate" will personally be affecting them, they are going to blame THE LIBTARDS and say TOLD YA. Every time we jump out in "our" president's defense against mean ole rush limbaugh and the others, every time we bleed from the eyes over blue dog and repug threats to block the RIGHT AWAY passage of "health care reform" we put OUR names on the coming nightmare of mandated health care insurance for all. The tea baggers with pitchforks and blown up Holocaust photos and "neuter liberals" protest signs are going to be coming for you and me, and our kids and friends.
No news media except sometimes maybe Ed Schultz (and sometimes NOT) has been willing to concentrate attention on what is IN that God damn health care bill that passed the House. Even Olbermann and Maddow keep railing against the stoppers-of-passage of the "bill" and not the sh*t that's in the bill (and not in it). I believe they want these mandates on the "uninsured multitude" as much as we the multitude want Medicare For All. Rich folk have always been mad at less-rich folk for not carrying medical coverage. They feel they are carrying us on their backs and have been for years. They feel we are probably what is wrong with health care in America. When I was younger, I had a supervisor who lectured a room full of us to that effect. We uninsured are the reason for the high costs of health care and the rising cost of premiums.
Wait till health care "reform" comes into law at last. The angry people will have targets for their insane wrath living all around them. I'm having my bumper stickers removed from my car ASAP, and hope my neighbors soon forget what I once stood for, cuz when it happens, it's going to look like THIS HELL is what I campaigned for.
) legislation doesn't "happen to" kick in until after the presidential election. The WH figures that people won't realize they've been scr*wed until it's too late.
If I were Obama I'd hunt that guy down and show him some holy White House rage for a few minutes before I had security perp walk the bastard out the door. But, no. I suppose Obama will want to have a beer with him.
Yes, more troops into the sinkhole b/c the problem is in
Pakistan so we might as well get them into the area to
eventually guard their nuks and who knows what else.
Wasn't Pakistan where Bin Laden hangs out? Yes, and
wasn't he the guy who financed 911?
Wasn't Pakistan the prize all along?
It's only a matter of time before he gets one, or tries to
from Iran or Pakistan...
Your point was?
How can we fault a person for not having a grip on reality when even our top scientists can't tell you what "it" is?
and facts.
Scientist don't ask why, they simply tell us how.
... and get it wrong every time.

We will also start to build windmills that will be powered by flatulence.
...and he's trying to blame everyone else.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
but if we put the flatulentmills in bean fields we could build a tolerance. Think of how we could solve the unemployment problem and sell beans at the same time. It could also solve a lot of health problems by getting people off animal products.

budget cuts are doing to Medicaid patients.
I had an hour plus wait at the pharmacy this morning for me to get my monthly prescriptions filled, and a woman I've seen about town for years was wheeled into the pharmacy in a wheelchair (this injury must be recent, last time I saw her a while back she was able-bodied), and I overheard what was being discussed with one of the pharmacy clerks. This woman needs a leg brace so that she can have some independence from her wheelchair, but she was turned away because she's a low-income Medicaid patient, and this was one of the things that Ahnold the Asshole has deemed unimportant.
This was the type of woman that will be hit hardest by these cuts, an older, poor, Afro-Puerto Rican woman of color. But I'm sure the well-to-do of Orange County are enjoying their tax cuts!

Defense contractor KBR may have exposed as many as 100,000 people, including US troops, to cancer-causing toxins by burning waste in open-air pits in Iraq, says a series of class-action lawsuits filed against the company.
At least 22 separate lawsuits claiming KBR poisoned American soldiers in Iraq have been combined into a single massive lawsuit that says KBR, which until not long ago was a subsidiary of Halliburton, sought to save money by disposing of toxic waste and incinerating numerous potentially harmful substances in open-air "burn pits."
According to one of the lawsuits (PDF), filed in a federal court in Nashville, KBR burned "tires, lithium batteries ... biohazard materials (including human corpses), medical supplies (including those used during smallpox inoculations), paints, solvents, asbestos insulation, items containing pesticides, polyvinyl chloride pipes, animal carcasses, dangerous chemicals, and hundreds of thousands of plastic water bottles."
And they did so within plain sight of US troops operating in Iraq, the lawsuit states. "In some instances, the burn pit smoke was so bad that it interfered with the military mission," the Nashville lawsuit states. "For example, the military located at Camp Bucca, a detention facility, had difficulty guarding the facility as a result of the smoke."
The plaintiffs note that the military "did not prevent" KBR from disposing of the waste "in a safe manner that would not have harmed plaintiffs. The military wanted the defendants to solve the burn pit problems."

Old news but still outrageous..
Nov. 9 (Bloomberg) -- ProsecutorMichael Loucks remembers clearly when lawyers for Pfizer Inc., the world’s largest drug company, looked across the table and promised it wouldn’t break the law again.
It was January 2004, and the attorneys were negotiating in a conference room on the ninth floor of the federal courthouse in Boston, where Loucks was head of the health-care fraud unit of the U.S. Attorney’s Office. One of Pfizer’s units had been pushing doctors to prescribe an epilepsy drug called Neurontin for uses the Food and Drug Administration had never approved.
In the agreement the lawyers eventually hammered out, the Pfizer unit, Warner-Lambert, pleaded guilty to two felony counts of marketing a drug for unapproved uses.
New York-based Pfizer agreed to pay $430 million in criminal fines and civil penalties, and the company’s lawyers assured Loucks and three other prosecutors that Pfizer and its units would stop promoting drugs for unauthorized purposes.
What Loucks, who’s now acting U.S. attorney in Boston, didn’t know until years later was that Pfizer managers were breaking that pledge not to practice so-called off-label marketing even before the ink was dry on their plea.
On the morning of Sept. 2, 2009, another Pfizer unit, Pharmacia & Upjohn, agreed to plead guilty to the same crime. This time, Pfizer executives had been instructing more than 100 salespeople to promote Bextra, a drug approved only for the relief of arthritis and menstrual discomfort, for treatment of acute pains of all kinds.

Healthy people should not take aspirin to prevent a heart attack because the risks outweigh the potential benefits, experts have warned.
Several studies have concluded that aspirin can help to ward off a second heart attack or stroke in patients who have already had one. Millions of Britons are believed to take a daily dose of the medication to act as an insurance against health problems.
But after carrying out a review of research, Dr Ike Iheanacho said in a medical journal editorial that people with no signs of cardiovascular disease (CVD) should not use the drug as a preventative measure because of the risk of internal bleeding of the stomach.
It follows a study by British scientists earlier this year which warned that daily aspirin could do more harm than good among people who have not already had a heart attack or stroke.

As a senior-year psychiatric resident at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Maj. Nidal M. Hasan was supposed to make a presentation on a medical topic of his choosing as a culminating exercise of the residency program.
Instead, in late June 2007, he stood before his supervisors and about 25 other mental health staff members and lectured on Islam, suicide bombers and threats the military could encounter from Muslims conflicted about fighting in the Muslim countries of Iraq and Afghanistan, according to a copy of the presentation obtained by The Washington Post.
"It's getting harder and harder for Muslims in the service to morally justify being in a military that seems constantly engaged against fellow Muslims," he said in the presentation.
"It was really strange," said one staff member who attended the presentation and spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the investigation of Hasan. "The senior doctors looked really upset" at the end. These medical presentations occurred each Wednesday afternoon, and other students had lectured on new medications and treatment of specific mental illnesses.

The world is much closer to running out of oil than official estimates admit, according to a whistleblower at the International Energy Agency who claims it has been deliberately underplaying a looming shortage for fear of triggering panic buying.
The senior official claims the US has played an influential role in encouraging the watchdog to underplay the rate of decline from existing oil fields while overplaying the chances of finding new reserves.
The allegations raise serious questions about the accuracy of the organisation's latest World Energy Outlook on oil demand and supply to be published tomorrow – which is used by the British and many other governments to help guide their wider energy and climate change policies.
In particular they question the prediction in the last World Economic Outlook, believed to be repeated again this year, that oil production can be raised from its current level of 83m barrels a day to 105m barrels. External critics have frequently argued that this cannot be substantiated by firm evidence and say the world has already passed its peak in oil production.
Now the "peak oil" theory is gaining support at the heart of the global energy establishment. "The IEA in 2005 was predicting oil supplies could rise as high as 120m barrels a day by 2030 although it was forced to reduce this gradually to 116m and then 105m last year," said the IEA source, who was unwilling to be identified for fear of reprisals inside the industry. "The 120m figure always was nonsense but even today's number is much higher than can be justified and the IEA knows this.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/no...
...is extremely disturbing when you add the Hirsch Report (a study published by the U.S. Department of Energy in 2005) to the equation. The Hirsch Report estimated that in order to make the transition from petroleum to other sources of energy with minimal impact on our society and our economy, the United States would need to begin making preparations at least twenty years in advance of the Hubbert Peak (the point of maximum global oil production) -- this time frame could potentially be shortened to ten years if considerable sacrifices were made by consumers, business, and government. If there's any truth to the speculations that the world has reached or perhaps even already passed the Hubbert Peak -- and based on the fact that at least some of the people saying this are those with many years of experience in or with the industry, there unfortunately doesn't seem much reason to doubt it -- the United States is already seriously behind the curve and this may well prove an ominous sign of things to come.
One of the biggest problems with this as I see it is the fact that since our country depends so heavily on petroleum for so many things -- especially vehicles and agriculture (both in terms of fertilizers and the transportation of food) -- the dwindling supply of petroleum could potentially create obstacles of its own in the path towards planning and constructing other energy resources, since modern construction relies heavily on machinery which needs fuel of some kind to run. One possible way around this problem would be a return to steam-age technology via the increased use of coal, but even that would require some time to really get up and running since it hasn't been in widespread use for decades -- and unfortunately, a return to coal would probably have significant environmental side effects as well, as would increased reliance on nuclear technology.
The suggestion that the United States has been encouraging the IEA to downplay this situation doesn't surprise me one bit. Remember, after all, who was in charge of the U.S. government for most of the past decade. Anyone who's truly been paying attention knows that the Bush administration had practically no tolerance for anyone who told them something they didn't want to hear and seemingly didn't hesitate to distort or suppress information which they felt the public didn't have a right to know. In fact, I for one believe that the potential of Peak Oil may very well have been one of the primary motives for the War In Iraq since that country has one of the top five largest proven petroleum reserves. (Of the top five, only one other country is not an ally of the United States. That country is -- surprise, surprise! -- Iran.) Matthew Simmonds -- a Harvard MBA running his own investment bank which has for twenty years specialized in the energy industry -- is not only a prominent figure in the Peak Oil community, but is also a former member of Cheney's mysterious Energy Task Force.
Now this is purely speculation on my part, but I ask you...what if Simmonds told Cheney what he knows about the lack of verification on reports of Middle Eastern oil reserves and the risk of Peak Oil while he was part of the Energy Task Force? Bear in mind that despite FOIA requests and a lawsuit, the activities of this commission have never been released to the public! Am I the only one who believes that this potentially could have given the Bush administration a very strong motivation to use 9-11 as an excuse for going after Saddam Hussein, knowing how heavily dependent the United States is on petroleum and that Iraq has one of the world's largest reserves? Personally, I don't think it's impossible at all.
Never trust anyone who insists that patriotism requires you to blindfold yourself with the flag.
are trying to scare the spec prices up again, dammit.
Google "Abiotic Oil" and notice that the official science generally has the names of Russian scientists. And don't go all HUAC on me over those experts, either.
"Courtesy is owed. Respect is earned. Love is given." --Unknown author, found in Guide to Texas Etiquette by Kinky Friedman
I'm the one saying that they pull out the old peak oil trick every time they want spec prices to jump and everyone falls for it over and over again. If you were around since the 70's we should all know this, that's when they forced all of the indy oil companies out.
...I have been around since the 1970's -- and if memory serves, a large part of the reason for the gas shortages of the 1970's was the fact that domestic oil production in the United States had peaked at that point. M. King Hubbert was ridiculed by just about everyone in the American oil industry back in the 1950's when he first predicted that domestic oil production would peak -- but time proved him right. The peak of domestic production is one of the primary reasons why we import most of our petroleum today, since it was a much more expedient option at the time when compared with the expense of investing money and effort into developing other resources which weren't widely used.
Never trust anyone who insists that patriotism requires you to blindfold yourself with the flag.
...if you go to the website for Simmons & Company International (the investment bank owned by Matt Simmons) and read some of his recent papers and speeches, I think you'll find that he touches on the subject of abiotic oil -- a theory which he dismisses as "superoptimistic" and which he says still lacks sufficient supportive evidence. As he points out in many of his writings, it's better to err on the side of caution and create a contingency plan which you later find you don't need than to end up in a fix and out of options because you naively assumed that the problem either didn't really exist or wasn't that bad and would somehow fix itself. (Even if you refuse to accept the idea of Peak Oil, have you ever considered the possibility of the effects which a natural disaster or true knock-down drag-out fight in the Middle East potentially could have on petroleum consumption worldwide?) You should at least take a look at what he has to say -- after all, it seems reasonable to assume that a man who's been in the business for over twenty years might actually know a thing or two about it.
Besides, for your edification, Peak Oil doesn't mean that we're "running out" -- and the fact that you even said that only shows me that you haven't really put much effort into researching it. (That being said, if you'd really rather stick your head in the sand instead of looking at the possibility that there might truly be a problem, be my guest.) Peak Oil refers to peak production which occurs when the yield of long-established oil fields begin to diminish, newly-discovered oil fields fail to demonstrate sufficiently reliable yields to replace it, and oil producer begin turning to other sources such as shales which require more effort and therefore more expense to refine -- especially if global demand and consumption continues to increase at the same time. Peak production means that the oil producers are reaching their limits in terms of their ability to keep pace with the demand -- and once the peak is reached, each succeeding barrel of oil becomes that little bit more expensive than the one which preceded it because it's more difficult to extract and also more valuable. If demand is not slowed or decreased, the effects can quickly become cumulative. The Hirsch Report is a troubling factor in this equation because it concluded that Peak Oil is not a question of if but rather when, and that we need a considerable length of time in order to gear up for it if we don't want our society to suffer shortages across the board -- but the trouble with this is that it's nearly impossible to determine in advance when the peak will hit without more accurate and/or reliable information. If the peak has already been hit as some people (including Simmons) fear it has, it seems safe to say that it might not be that long before the excrement hits the spinning blades...
Never trust anyone who insists that patriotism requires you to blindfold yourself with the flag.
but abiotic oil makes as much sense as Intelligent Design, or hoping that Jesus will come back and solve the environmental problems.
And yes, if you google the term you can find out what it is. Namely, a minority opinion shared by Russian and Ukrainian scientists. Ukraine, where they still don't believe in vaccines, and Russia, where thanks to Stalin's refusal to accept science at face value, is still decades behind the rest of the world in basic biology/genetics.
The most important thing you need to read about Abiotic oil is this sentence : The abiogenic origin of petroleum has also recently been reviewed in detail by Glasby, who raises a number of objections, including that there is still NO direct evidence to date of abiogenic petroleum.
None. No evidence at all. Zero.
Unless or until more reliable evidence in support of the abiotic oil theory comes to light, both logic and prudence suggest that it be viewed at least for the time being as the product of wishful or magical thinking more than anything else. You know what they say -- something which sounds too good to be true probably isn't true, and the Pollyanna image of a never-ending supply of petroleum (with the accompanying implication that we can do anything we want without needing to think of conservation ever again) quite frankly seems a little too far-fetched and conveniently self-indulgent to be truly plausible. It would be great if it were true, no question -- but unfortunately, wanting something to be true is not enough by itself to make it so and real life hardly ever falls exactly in line with our plans and desires. At least at present, this theory strikes me as something of an emotional security blanket which some people are clinging to because they're desperate to avoid thinking about the possibility that they might have to give up or do without the kind of creature comforts to which our society has become accustomed.
I actually understand and even share that feeling to some extent -- I, too, would prefer to have the option of maintaining a life of relative luxury and ease (which it definitely is when compared with that of other people in most of the world) and the thought of possibly having to give some of it up is an unpleasant one. At the same time, however, I acknowledge that the lifestyle which many of us have the privilege to enjoy in this society has encouraged us to be selfish and to take far too much for granted -- to view as necessities what many other people in this world would consider unbelievable luxury. I also recognize that ignoring the problem and hoping that it will somehow disappear all by itself without requiring any effort or compromise on our part -- expecting that Mr. Petroleum will somehow come flying out of the sky and save the day so that we don't have to worry about being deprived of anything -- is not only a further manifestation of our own self-absorption, it's simply not very realistic.
Never trust anyone who insists that patriotism requires you to blindfold yourself with the flag.

Those poor refugees that we took in while the rest of the world knew better, have infiltrated what used to be 'our' gov. with ZIONISTWHORES That's why I've always tried to expose the duplicity, the corruption, the BIAS that each gov. functionary kneel down to f**king AIPAC. Not only that but look at how the Jane Hamsure treason went. OH! We can't possibly know, can we?? This one is only one example of how any treason committed by or for BLOODYISRAEL gets soft-peddaled and usually disappears completely! Now, the so-called 'Hate Crimes' Bill was written by and expressly for THEM!! War with Iran is certain, yet another war for BLOODYISRAEL.
www.jweekly.com/.../head-of-liberal-jewish-lo... - I personally, like Jews, and give credit to them for waking me up to AIPAC propaganda.

In BLOODYISRAEL, these same Jews would be simply silenced just like here in the USofBLOODYISRAEL. Apartide, brutal, BLOODYISRAEL, Palestine never deserved this!!!!! No wonder the mid-east doesn't trust bloated, white, 3 piece suited MEN!!!! They LIE constantly, and that what Lawrence of Arabia was all abt. How that poor gulible English-man was made a tool to deceive the Muslim world back when those same bloated, 3 peice-suited, MEN double crossed them in WWII. Why should they 'forget'???????
Don't you guys get it that the neocons and wingnuts control the media, to a degree, and that they will always put out BS headlines to try to obfuscate an issue, make people believe that the conservative side is prevailing, et-goddam-cetera?!?!
Get with it and stop nurturing their lunacy, please!!
