Local Action for Global Change: IA & NH Call for Real Global Solutions and a Clean Energy Economy
(The following is a guest post from The ReEnergize NH and IA Organizing Team)
Concord, New Hampshire and Des Moines, Iowa boomed Sunday afternoon with the sound of masses of citizens rallying for a clean energy economy and real global warming solutions.
The rallies were the highlight event of a summer-long effort to engage citizens in NH and IA about the economic opportunities that bold, visionary action to fight global warming can bring to America.
The students from the Sierra Student Coalition that organized the campaign, along with the Sierra Club and United Steelworkers, collected thousands of petition signatures asking our leaders to act now to reduce emissions 80 percent by 2050, or two percent a year starting right now, and create two million new, good-paying jobs for Americans.
The New Hampshire rally featured noted author and activist Bill McKibben; Jared Duval, national director of the Sierra Student Coalition and a Lebanon, NH native; and Lisa Beaudoin, a farmer from Temple, NH who marched with her two sons Rowan, 8 and Forrest, 11. The Iowa rally featured Dr. James Hansen, an Iowa native and one of the world's preeminent climate scientists; Frank Cownie, Mayor of Des Moines; David Foster, Executive Director of the Blue-Green Alliance; and other notable climate advocates
"I've come on this march because I want to share my values with my children by showing them how to be good stewards of the earth and humanity," said Lisa Beaudoin a farmer from Temple, New Hampshire who addressed the crowd at the NH rally after marching with her sons Rowan, 8, and Forrest, 11.
"We were out here marching because we see this not only as the challenge of our generation, but also as an opportunity," said Zo Tobi, 22, an organizer of the New Hampshire march and rally, "by curbing global warming, we can transform our economy and our country to promote renewable and efficient technologies that will create new, safe jobs for Americans and secure our country and our future."
"We're in a unique position because public officials at every level are listening to what have to say," said Holly Jones, a Drake University student and native of Mount Pleasant, IA. "We need to make the most of this attention by letting our leaders know that we want action on global warming now."
The organizers collaborated with individuals, businesses, churches, and organizations from all parts of the state, walks of life, and political persuasions. In New Hampshire, they collected endorsements including Mayors Bernie Streeter and Frank Guinta from Nashua and Manchester respectively; the Nashua Pride Baseball Team; the NH Timberland Owners Association; NH Faithful Democracy; and Democracy for NH. In Iowa, endorsements included the Iowa Environmental Council; the Iowa Citizen Action Network; the Iowa Farmers Union; and the Iowa Conference of the United Methodist Church.
"Growing up here in New Hampshire, our tradition of leading the nation has always shaped my sense of what is possible," said Jared Duval, National Director of the Sierra Student Coalition and a speaker at Sunday's NH rally. "We must continue building what is on showcase this week – a citizen's movement so powerful and focused that our leaders at all levels have no choice but to heed our call."
I do declare this the Summer of Howard.
Excellent work on Awareness for Action on Global WArming.
Have you asked your Senator to Support S 309, the Sanders/Boxer Global Warming Bill? Which is the Bill that has been calling for the 80 percent reduction since January 07? Senators Biden, Clinton and Obama finally signed on in May, but that still is only 19 total.
Recommendations are that we need to cut it by 90 percent, but even at 80 percent, Congress is not acting.
Put the pressure on!
Time for a COOL change
Gore

Gee, I dunno Fred......I think this lady has had a number of years in the foreign service or her husband has and they seem to have a wide appreciation for the European way of looking at things...............Ive studied her posts for a couple of years now and she is correct especially with regards to the ME.............your Biden was rather umimpressive last night as you may have gathered............
==================================
If she said what she says with more analysis, explanation and less hubris concerning her great knowledge and "know-it-all" remarks, I would be more respectful. She may not be a bad person, with good intentions, but like the wizard of Oz said. "I am really a very good person, just a very bad wizard."
As for crudentials, there are people with such knowledge on both sides of the fence. There are a variety of opinion among journalists, and academics and Iraqis, IN IRAQ "on the ground," many of whom support federalization. The federalization plan has supporter on both side of the aisle, maybe why some ideologue among us cannot accept it, in spite of the fact that there is hope it may end the sectarian bloodshed.
I have watched the opposition to this plan develop and those who badmouth it always distort the facts and use political code words to describe it, which have nothing to do with what it is.
Biden's run for presidency has little to do with my support for this plan, a solution of the kind of which I have personally supported since 2004.

your Biden was rather umimpressive last night as you may have gathered............
====================
Been busy with other things these day, but took a look at some clips just now on the Biden web site of the AFL-CIO forum and he looked better than ever, makes me think he can win. Incidently please no mental-case "jokes" the fact that money an rock-star quality has become more important in this race than substance and position on issues is a shame, not so much for our party, but for the entire country.
Last night Biden spoke with more knowledge of facts, intelligence, and passion, than any of the other candidates. Take a look and I think you'll agree.
Among his line:
"China is neither friend nor enemy, but they hold the mortgage on my house..."
"We fund to make things better..."
Those who oppose Biden on this blog make silly jokes and frivolously refer to one or two of his unpopular votes in order to demonize him, a red-herring and it stinks.
If you want to judge people by going into the past, Byrd was the most outspoken in the Senate against the Iraq invasion, and he was once in the KKK, if I'm not mistaken.
Wanted to say Michael Ellis #13 that AARP is a scam.

There's plenty wrong with AARP. However (Libra rising here) BC/BS would not insure me and AARP did -- they are the only insurance I could get unless of course I wanted to go out and get a real job w/ benefits.

Biden becomes "progressive"...slowly but surely.
At least China now is not an enemy..., that's a huge progress..., lol,
Although since they still "hold the mortgage on my house..." it's better at the same time not to call them "friends"..., so they are somehow in between...
Smart, wise guy...to sit on both chairs simultaneously on ANY OTHER ISSUE as well and NOT to fall down until now,...yet.
Stunning ability to ridicule himself without even noticing that!
Hang on mister congressman, your face is very familiar to American people, they love their own "profeccionals"..., they already kind of got used to them..., lol.
I just watched the debate from last night -- Keith was outstanding. I was impressed with Hill's emphasis on greening being a source of jobs. I liked Obama's answer to the Barry Bonds question -- yes it was evasive, but he thought on his feet and charmingly. Chris Dodd has this quiet, common sense way about him- he would probably be a good president. I liked what Biden said about the 'fact' that there was a law that said we would go into Pakistan with 'actionable intelligence' bc it supported Obama. They all seem like nice people. When Howard ran, the whole field seemed more contentious and tense. In this group, I don't think there is a bad one really. I'm not responsible for anything I say today - new antibiotic giving me an out of body experience. Have you guys seen the spoof of Yearly Kos on Colbert/Stewart? It's posted on DKos. Pretty funny. Calls us 'neo-netzies' why didn't I think of that. Said bloggers are people with a laptop, an ax to grind, and their virginity intact. -- lol

============
Nice pun, but that is his greatest strength. He is liberal and progressive and yet moderate republican respect him, and he knows how to convince them without insulting them. Not to mention the fact that he would never veto bills of core concerns.
He could get things done that Obama and Hillary could not get done. They just invite red meat, ridicule, and reaction from the other side, moderate or not.
I also watched Tony Snow's press conference. Looked like few press showed up but maybe that's normal. Guess W is hosting Sarkozy and Ms. at Dad's (ala Putin). Guess he can't be trusted to meet with a head of state by himself.

He's in Kennebunkport for another wedding. The local peacenicks are planning a visibility. He wasn't scheduled to be here until the 25th for which a BIG presence is planned.
Sarkozy is vacationing in Wolfeboro. It's about 50 miles to the Maine coast.
No, I don't think Bush Two can be trusted to interact one on one.

Biden has been progressive since he started. You have to look at his overall record, not one or two votes. All the candidate have "one or two votes" needed to disqualify them from the "progressive" label, if that is the criteria.
Bloggers here, like all other Americans discriminate against age. Youth and star quality rules, and no one is immune to that groupthink. Not even you. That is the real issue. Nobody looks at his entire voting record or how he is rated by groups. They just "cherry pick" a vote or two, to label him something he is not.
bush is on another vacation while our troops die.

That is exactly the point you are missing. It is gross generalizations of others here that I am criticizing, how people make gross generalizations about Biden. Just because I bring up the subject, doesn't mean I indulge in it.
On the other hand, you are skillfully changing the subject. It is not about what I like or don't like. Please address the issue I raised without attacking the messenger, another common blog tactic here, when people don't have an intelligent response.
I did not attack you. I simply said you not immune to groupthink, as none of us are.

Biden has star quality because he is great on criticism but when he offers solutions, if ever, they are really impossible to implement political, but he appeals to those who like to hear what they think about all the negativity in the world.
correction - I meant to say Gravel - not Biden
Powerful Earthquake Hits Indonesia
By ROBIN McDOWELL,AP
Posted: 2007-08-08 15:16:50
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - A powerful earthquake under the Java Sea rattled Indonesia's capital early Thursday, violently shaking tall buildings and sending panicked residents into the streets.
There were no immediate reports of damage, and geophysicists said there was little risk of a tsunami.
The quake, which struck at 12:04 a.m. (1:04 p.m. EDT Wednesday) had a preliminary magnitude of 7.5 and was centered about 65 miles east of Jakarta at a depth in the Earth of 180 miles, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
Residents said tall buildings and single story homes shook violently in the city of 9 million people, and water sloshed from swimming pools.
Many people were awakened by the quake and some people screamed "Allah akbar!" or "God is great!" as they ran outside.

Pollution fears cloud Olympic gala
Crowds of 10,000 gathered at Beijing's vast Tiananmen Square
Pollution in Chinese capital could cause some competitions to be moved
BEIJING, China (Reuters) -- A proud China invited the world to the 2008 Beijing Olympics with a dazzling song-and-dance and fireworks display, but cheers and shouts of 10,000 beaming citizens could not mask fears about pollution.
Countdown celebrations are held Wednesday at the Millennium Monument in Beijing.
The crowds gathered on the vast Tiananmen Square, overlooked by a giant portrait of Mao Zedong, the founder of Communist China, in front of a brightly lit Gate of Heavenly Peace, exactly a year before the Games begin.
Police, some with sniffer dogs, had to force back the hundreds who milled around the edges hoping to get a glance of the festivities, watched by Chinese leaders and International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge.
The most intensely scrutinized preparations for any Games in Olympic history has brought forth a barrage of criticism for China this week on issues such as human rights, press freedom, pollution, food safety and Tibet.
"We welcome athletes, coaches, officials, spectators and journalists to participate in, observe and report the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games," parliament chief Wu Bangguo told the crowd.

... didn't actually get the Howardly the other night, i guess because i was critical of Dem groups that fund the already WELL funded - leaving progressive candidates that could win with as mere $50,000 or so dangling in the wind.
Soooo, just to show that hicks have some of whut it takes...
What i actually was at the Town hall meeting to propose to our wingnut Congressman (one Nathan Deal(R- GA 9th) was that he work with Congressman Henry Waxman to stop Chinese products coming in to poison us, our children and our pets.
Amazingly, even tho i pointed out that with all the sellout trade agreements it'd be tough, he agreed and promised to vote for Waxman's proposals on that.
The previous posting i did on the meeting was my responses to his being way way hard on the Dems. My return fire was 'whithering', and justifiably so. But i wasn't there to be partisan, told him so, but pointed out that that was all he had for us. It isn't right that i pay him then he comes to my town to bash my political friends.
This issue, i said, should be non-partisan, that all our important issues should be, and he needed to lose the rightwing slash and burn tactics.
(all this in front of a 90% R crowd... lol)

Suspect Seafood From China Not Screened
By JUSTIN PRITCHARD and ADAM GOLDMAN,AP
Posted: 2007-08-08 13:30:35
Filed Under: Health News
(Aug. 7) - At least 1 million pounds of suspect Chinese seafood landed on American store shelves and dinner plates despite a Food and Drug Administration order that the shipments first be screened for banned drugs or chemicals, an Associated Press investigation found.
http://news.aol.com/health/story/_a/susp...
The frozen shrimp, catfish and eel arrived at U.S. ports under an "import alert," which meant the FDA was supposed to hold every shipment until it had passed a laboratory test.
(cont. from above AP story)
But that was not what happened, according to an AP check of shipments since last fall. One of every four shipments the AP reviewed got through without being stopped and tested. The seafood, valued at $2.5 million, was equal to the amount 66,000 Americans eat in a year.
FDA officials stuck the pond-raised seafood on their watch list because of worries it contained suspected carcinogens or antibiotics not approved for seafood.
No illnesses have been reported, but the episode raises serious questions about the FDA's ability to police the safety of America's food imports.
"The system is outdated and it doesn't work well. They pretend it does, but it doesn't," said Carl R. Nielsen, who oversaw import inspections at the agency until he left in 2005 to start a consulting firm, FDAImports.com. "You can't make the assumption that these would be isolated instances."
(my note: The chemicals here probably wouldn't have an immediate effect on most people, so no reports of illnes is not a meter of the long term effects. IMHO)
... oh, the earthquake thingy is a personal interest since my house was 2 miles from the poma prieta epicenter back in 1989.
A 7.5 magnitude is a pretty serious shaker. You don't shrug those off.
... i hope the "ring of fire" doesn't affect my good friends in CA anytime soon.
According to a poll released today by the University of Iowa, Barack Obama finished in third place among a sub-sample of 330 self-identified Republicans. With 6.7 percent, Obama actually beat both John McCain and Fred Thompson.
"This poll shows that Barack Obama's message of change is one that appeals to Democrats, Republicans and Independents, and makes it clear that Senator Obama would be the most formidable general election candidate,” said Iowa Communications Director Josh Earnest.
This sub-sample included 330 respondents who self-identified as Republicans. The margin of error of the sub-sample is +/- 5.25 percent.
cukes, green beans, the tail end of the sweet corn, vine ripe tomatoes, bell peppers, living off the fat of the land because I just added some fresh cream to the top of some rice pudding and rewarded myself for working out in that beastly heat
eat your heart out (or would that be me?)
Interesting poll. 6.7% of 330 people is 22.11 people. With the margin of error, however, the results could be off by as many as 17.33 people.

LOL................
TEHRAN, Iran - Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki met with officials in Iran on Wednesday to seek help in reining in violence in his country, reaching out to a nation the U.S. accuses of fueling Iraq’s turmoil by backing Shiite militants.
It was al-Maliki’s second visit to Tehran in less than a year, coming days after U.S. and Iranian experts held talks in Baghdad on improving Iraq’s security.
Al-Maliki and the Shiite and Kurdish parties that dominate his government are closely linked to predominantly Shiite Iran, and he has struggled to balance those ties with the United States, Tehran’s top rival in the region
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
So lets see...........he meets the Iranian leader(the real bad monster youknow)........iranian weapons are killing americans...........iran is going nuclear...................oh what the hell, we ve only lost 3600 troops for nothing basically..............
PLEASE let it be true that Al Gore plans to re-enter politics and may it be for 2008.
mary vb, have you heard something? I've been gone all day.....
Oh my! My heart is lifted up.
Al Gore says he may re-enter politics August 8, 2007 - 5:50PMFormer US vice president Al Gore said today that he may return to politics in the future but repeated his position that he had no plans to enter the 2008 presidential race.
"I may re-enter politics at some point in the future because I'm only 59 years old," Gore told reporters on the sidelines of a forum in Singapore.
Gore said he has "no plan" to run in the 2008 presidential election but aims to make the environment a focus of public discussion during the campaign.
"There is no single candidate that is putting forward a comprehensive argument about the environment or making climate change a priority," Gore said.
"I will continue to work so that public opinion will push all candidates to make climate a priority."
Gore lost the 2000 US presidential election to George W Bush despite winning the popular vote.
heh heh, the dems have just been put on notice.
"I will continue to work so that public opinion will push all candidates to make climate a priority."
Well, some of them may do that, but will they follow thru. I think Gore is going to run.... Oh please! We need straw polls with him included.
Can we have a Gore bat please? I want to hit it. Meanwhile, I'll send money to the support Gore site.
Doesn't sound to me like he's slamming the door as per his own words above. Damn media!
Associated Press - August 8, 2007 1:43 AM ET
SINGAPORE (AP) - Al Gore seems to be slamming the door on another try for the White House, at least for now.
The former vice president told reporters on the sidelines of a business forum in Singapore that he is young enough to get back into politics but has "no plan" to run in the 2008 presidential election. Gore is 59.
Gore says what he wants to do is get all the candidates talking about climate change. So far, he says, not a single 1 of them is making it a priority.
Gore lost the 2000 presidential election to George Bush despite winning the popular vote.

Last night Keith said something about reporting tonight on his show about who was telling the truth and who wasn't.
Labor - it should go overwhelming for Kucinich who was fabulous last night. But it prolly won't and will again be left in the dust.
The debate was good becuz of Keith and he gave everyone equal time...I didn't like Hillary being front and center. She's always front and center so don't tell me they draw straws. It's an attempt to manipulate the viewers. (effing CMWs)
I plan on being cranky until Gore enters! LOL

Hierarchical Leadership in America
http://www.counterpunch.org/campbell08082007.html
The premise is that the leadership style of the U.S. president affects and sets the standard for leadership worldwide. If this premise is correct, what does it mean for us here and the world in general?
The current U.S. president obviously prefers a direct, confrontational style of leadership with him as the key decision maker. He neither welcomes nor encourages dissenting views and, indeed, is quick to denigrate and/or punish those with the audacity to question his judgment. It is his way or the highway. Despite its enormous drawbacks, this style is amazingly effective especially when it is unopposed by our codependent Congress and federal judiciary.
Globally, this style of leadership tends to favor confrontation and win-lose negotiation that favors the leader and their cronies and often leads to violence and war which, here again, favors their cronies (like, say, Haliburton and armament manufacturers) and uses the “little” people for cannon fodder.
As the U.S. government and corporations engage in more or less universal win-lose negotiations with the world, we steadily erode trust with former allies and create enduring animosity among much of the world including the predominantly Muslim Middle East. This does not bode well for future generations here who may still be fighting “terrorists” bred by our heedless aggressiveness towards all “enemies” of U.S. hegemony and greed. As we needlessly throw ourselves on our sword in Iraq for Freedom, democracy, oil Haliburton, etc. (take your pick), we cultivate enemies who will hate us for generations while sharply decreasing our ability to simply defend ourselves at home.
IMPENDING DISASTER
http://www.counterpunch.org/roberts08082007.html
Early this morning China let the idiots in Washington, and on Wall Street, know that it has them by the short hairs. Two senior spokesmen for the Chinese government observed that China’s considerable holdings of US dollars and Treasury bonds “contributes a great deal to maintaining the position of the dollar as a reserve currency.”
Should the US proceed with sanctions intended to cause the Chinese currency to appreciate, “the Chinese central bank will be forced to sell dollars, which might lead to a mass depreciation of the dollar.”
Strategic thinkers, if any remain who have not been purged by neocons, will quickly conclude that China’s power over the value of the dollar and US interest rates also gives China power over US foreign policy. The US was able to attack Afghanistan and Iraq only because China provided the largest part of the financing for Bush’s wars.
If China ceased to buy US Treasuries, Bush’s wars would end. The savings rate of US consumers is essentially zero, and several million are afflicted with mortgages that they cannot afford. With Bush’s budget in deficit and with no room in the US consumer’s budget for a tax increase, Bush’s wars can only be financed by foreigners.
No country on earth, except for Israel, supports the Bush regimes’ desire to attack Iran. It is China’s decision whether it calls in the US ambassador, and delivers the message that there will be no attack on Iran or further war unless the US is prepared to buy back $900 billion in US Treasury bonds and other dollar assets.
The US, of course, has no foreign reserves with which to make the purchase. The impact of such a large sale on US interest rates would wreck the US economy and effectively end Bush’s war-making capability. Moreover, other governments would likely follow the Chinese lead, as the main support for the US dollar has been China’s willingness to accumulate them. If the largest holder dumped the dollar, other countries would dump dollars, too.
The value and purchasing power of the US dollar would fall. When hard-pressed Americans went to Wal-Mart to make their purchases, the new prices would make them think they had wandered into Nieman Marcus. Americans would not be able to maintain their current living standard.
Simultaneously, Americans would be hit either with tax increases in order to close a budget deficit that foreigners will no longer finance or with large cuts in income security programs. The only other source of budgetary finance would be for the government to print money to pay its bills. In this event, Americans would experience inflation in addition to higher prices from dollar devaluation.
This is a grim outlook. We got in this position because our leaders are ignorant fools. So are our economists, many of whom are paid shills for some interest group. So are our corporate leaders whose greed gave China power over the US by offshoring the US production of goods and services to China. It was the corporate fat cats who turned US Gross Domestic Product into Chinese imports, and it was the “free trade, free market economists” who egged it on.
How did a people as stupid as Americans get so full of hubris?
Hi folks,
Friend is reading State of Denial by Bob Woodward. Said leader Bush trusts his intuition and will. He wills things to happen. Interestingly enough, so did Der Fuhrer. Hitler willed the 1000 year reich and was willing to see every last German die if it didn't succeed. Then there was Mao's statement that nuclear war would leave some Chinese because the population was so big and so could be waged.
People who are able to believe in the irrational, who believe they are the deciders are more than dangerous. They are insane. Bush thinks he's the decider, when in reality, Cheney and others have manipulated him from the beginning. He is insane as are they.
NYT LETTERS ON THE SORRY DEMOCRATS
To their shame, 16 Democrats in the Senate and 41 in the House voted to hand the president monarchical powers that the signers of the Constitution had withheld. The Fourth Amendment has served to safeguard citizens against warrantless searches and seizures; this president says instead: Just trust me.
These Democrats will no doubt be astonished, but Republicans will not stop calling them weak on terrorism. The rest of us just think they’re weak, period.
*************************************
In their latest display of spinelessness, Congressional Democrats approved another unjustified and probably unconstitutional expansion of presidential power to snoop into private communications (editorial, Aug. 7).
But the expiration of this policy in six months is not a “saving grace.” If Democrats were afraid to oppose this expansion of power now, they will surely be afraid to oppose its continuation six months from now.
It is infuriating that America continues to support these worse-than-worthless political parties — one hypocritically wrapping itself in the flag and the Bible to practice demagogy, and the other just standing by and making ineffectual bleating noises.
***************************************************
Once the seed of terrorism is planted it, it’s hard to uproot. Ever since 9/11, President Bush has been able to exploit this weakness in our psyches due in large part to the incompetence and ineptitude of his administration’s foreign policy.
His disastrous decision to invade Iraq unnecessarily and without a plan has, for all intents and purposes, resulted in a terrorist breeding ground there, while his coddling of governments who shield terrorists such as Pakistan and Saudi Arabia has made the world safe for them.
By kowtowing to him and rushing to their summer recess, the Democratic Congress has only enabled the president to continue his charade of being a decisive and effective leader on the national security front.

so Gore officially warned the field
get green or get over
what was my date in the Gore pool? does today count? if he carries through I'll claim my teddy bear
Biden's doing very well on Keith IMO. I like him and his statements on campaign financing.
If any of the cands start talking green, with the exception of Kucinich, we can assume they're blowing smoke. Who's gonna hold them to it? Who held Putz to his "no nation building* promise?
I think Gore's coming in and what he's doing is scaring the hell outta them, as well he should. He's knows he's got the *power.*
Heh heh heh!
Think the CMWs will relate this story?

BETTENDORF, Iowa — Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney on Wednesday defended his five sons' decision not to enlist in the military, saying they're showing their support for the country by "helping me get elected."
Romney, who did not serve in Vietnam due to his Mormon missionary work and a high draft lottery number
[...]
The good news is that we have a volunteer Army and that's the way we're going to keep it," Romney told some 200 people gathered in an abbey near the Mississippi River that had been converted into a hotel. "My sons are all adults and they've made decisions about their careers and they've chosen not to serve in the military and active duty and I respect their decision in that regard."
He added: "One of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping me get elected because they think I'd be a great president."
Romney's five sons range in age from 37 to 26 and have worked as real estate developers, sports marketers and advertising executives. They are now actively campaigning for their father and have a "Five Brothers" blog on Romney's campaign Web site.
Romney noted that his middle son, 36-year-old Josh, was completing a recreational vehicle tour of all 99 Iowa counties on Wednesday and said, "I respect that and respect all those and the way they serve this great country."
Hey, I just read that Pakistan is considering setting a state of Emergency in their country.
Does anyone but me think they may pull a turn about and subdue the criminals in their midst, capture the Taliban who attacked America on Sept 11, and hand over to us the criminals who attacked US?

THE line between soldier and civilian has long been central to the law of war. Today that line is being blurred in the struggle against transnational terrorists. Since 9/11 the Bush administration has sought to categorize members of Al Qaeda and other jihadists as “unlawful combatants” rather than treat them as criminals.
[...]
Cases like this illustrate that in the years since 9/11, the Bush administration’s approach to terrorism has created more problems than it has solved. We need to recognize that terrorists, while dangerous, are more like modern-day pirates than warriors. They ought to be pursued, tried and convicted in the courts. At the extreme, yes, military force may be required. But the terrorists themselves are not “combatants.” They are merely criminals, albeit criminals of an especially heinous type, and that label suggests the appropriate venue for dealing with the threats they pose.
We train our soldiers to respect the line between combatant and civilian. Our political leaders must also respect this distinction, lest we unwittingly endanger the values for which we are fighting, and further compromise our efforts to strengthen our security.

my Biden story for the night
~~~~~~~~~~~~`
I don't subscibe to the New Yorker, but my son picks up the discards at the Public Library and he found a story on Bill Clinton called The Wanderer by David Remnick and found a most interesting quote. p. 55 the Sept. 18 2006.
but what my son exclaimed was "Joe Biden reads the New Yorker" making the assumption that the poem Joe quoted at the training in Peosta was the lines quoted by Bill Clinton to Mandela and Sisulu.
my come back was "are you accusing Joe of plagerism?"
"No he reads the New Yorker and needs material for a speech"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
it might well be the other way around and Biden quotes Seamus Heaney's "The Cure at Troy" all the time and Clinton stole the use of it from him
of coures they both attributed the lines to the author so it is not plagerism
so don't worry Fred

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Private Pakistani television channels reported on Wednesday that President Pervez Musharraf was preparing to declare a state of emergency imminently, but government spokesmen denied there were any such plans.
State-run Pakistan Television quoted official sources as saying the reports were baseless and Information Minister Mohammad Ali Durrani denied to Reuters that a meeting had been held to discuss the imposition of an emergency, as rumors swept the country.
http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSISL16312820070808?feedType=RSS&rpc=22&sp=true
A member of the inner circle of the Pakistani leadership told Reuters, however, that U.S. ally Musharraf was considering the option, which could allow him to extend the tenure of the national and provincial assemblies by 12 months and delay elections due by the turn of the year
Is this what putz & prick are considering here?

Comcast has brought its sleazy self to our neighborhood and since they have (about 6 mos) we lost all the good stations we had with TW and we've had 3 really long outages, one tonight. Since my Internet and TV are both Comcast when they are out I feel very lost. Tonight I watched 3 episodes of Buffy Season 7 from Netflix. Then when it was still out I decided to call them and blow a gusset. And it worked!!!! I got my cable and TV back. Who says losing your temper on poor customer service people is a waste.

GERMANY, THE RE-ENGINEERED ALLY
PART 2: Everything is broken
Forces that oppose or even appear to question American interests face a simple choice: "The US or chaos." Not only the lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan, but the failed attempts of Serbia, Iran and Syria to bow to US/Western demands make it clear that it is next to impossible to choose and still maintain a measure of independence and dignity. Germany, however, has chosen the former.

Well, sweet darlin' Sea, I ain'a likely to make the error which you have repeatedly made.
Now, don't misunderstand me: it don't matter too much - these errors
If Pakistan took on the lawless region they would need a state of emergency.
did Obama unleash an avalanche?
There is no doubt that the items that were discussed centered on Israeli un-ending demands for security, which could have been discussed by the security chiefs of both parties. To weaken Abbas further, Olmert rejected the Palestinian demands of stopping Israeli cruel assaults on Palestinian territories. To help Abbas keep his hopes for the future, Olmert “promised” to meet again in the unspecified future to discuss the implementation of the Oslo accords, or the “Road Maps”. Even such a promise was conditional on Israeli assessment of Palestinian’s future adherence to these plans and accords. The irony here, of course, that Israel has violated flagrantly all the previous accords including Oslo and the Road Maps. Let us not forget here that both accords are subject to Israeli misinterpretations with their infamous 14 reservation on these accords. No need to mention here that removing the apartheid wall “that swallowed another 40% of the West Bank”, dismantling the settlements in the West Bank, Jerusalem, the 1967 borders and the right of return are all considered red lines that would never enter Israeli future agenda for peace. Oslo and the Road Map which were supposed to lead to UN Resolution 242 have been severely removed from Israeli future peace because both have been flagrantly violated on the ground that would make both accords null and void. To close the final circle on future Palestinian hopes, resistance to the occupation has been banned with the cooperation of the PA, which collected the arms of the resistance groups, and thus the Palestinians were brought back to square one in reminiscence of the 1947-1948 Nakba."

A BUZZFLASH EDITORIAL
It's become a bit of a cliché to compare the rise of Cheney-Bush fascism to the ascendancy of the Third Reich, but the analogy does reveal a fundamental truth about power and politics.
Fascists or Bolsheviks (just look at the short-lived Alexander Kerensky republic in Russia that fell to the Soviets in 1917) proceed on a premise that liberals are ambivalent about asserting power -- and take full advantage of that weakness.
Bush may be a tin horn cowboy propped up by Rove and Cheney, but almost all of his power at this time is derived by the unprecedented unitary authority granted to him by a Democratic Congress. In short, an utterly failed president guilty of illegal activity, whose poll numbers are in the dust, is able to make enough Democrats fearful that they give him power when they should be aggressively taking it away from him.
In the narrative of "toughness" that Rove has created for Bush -- and that Cheney has backed up with Franco-like substance -- Bush emerges as a "strong" figure, ironically, only because the timid Democratic leadership is so weak.
OK, now I'm getting pissed cuz I think I'm being monitored by some scumbags from the gov't.

i don't think so, Phil. The Pakistani are pretty good but the old mujahdeen and the new jihadist youngsters have convinced the regular Army of their lethality.
i could be wrong but i think the support for both sides has been there for a while, but the wild cards will pore in from areas that no military force has yet proven they can control.
Musharraf has probably just learned from the boyking that blowing off the rules at home kicks the can down the road.
... but when the road comes to an end?
Good grief. How many times do I have to say that Xtianity needs to go the way of the Edsel?
Pentagon promotes militant Christianity to US troops in Iraq by Weldon Berger | Aug 8 2007 - 5:12pm | permalinkarticle tools: email | print | read more Weldon Berger
What could possibly go wrong with a scheme to introduce tens of thousands of young, stressed out soldiers fighting a guerrilla war in a Muslim country to a particularly bloody-minded brand of aggressively evangelical apocalyptic Christianity? As Max Blumenthal reports in The Nation, the Pentagon is on a quest — one might say a crusade — to find out.
As an official arm of the Defense Department's America Supports You program, [Operation Straight Up] plans to mail copies of the controversial apocalyptic video game, Left Behind: Eternal Forces to soldiers serving in Iraq. OSU is also scheduled to embark on a "Military Crusade in Iraq" in the near future. "We feel the forces of heaven have encouraged us to perform multiple crusades that will sweep through this war torn region," OSU declares on its website about its planned trip to Iraq. "We'll hold the only religious crusade of its size in the dangerous land of Iraq."
Well, it's just a harmless video game and a traveling ministry, right? A bit of entertainment and spiritual solace?

OSU ... operation straight up. Now isn't that a dandy sexual reference for killing in the name of Jesus?

"We'll hold the only religious crusade of its size in the dangerous land of Iraq."
Well, it's just a harmless video game and a traveling ministry, right? A bit of entertainment and spiritual solace?
Not exactly.
The Left Behind videogame is a real-time strategy game that makes players commanders of a virtual evangelical army in a post-apocalyptic landscape that looks strikingly like New York City after 9/11. With tanks, helicopters and a fearsome arsenal of automatic weapons at their disposal, Left Behind players wage a violent war against United Nations-like peacekeepers who, according to LaHaye's interpretation of Revelation, represent the armies of the Antichrist. Each time a Left Behind player kills a UN soldier, their virtual character exclaims, "Praise the Lord!" To win the game, players must kill or convert all the non-believers left behind after the rapture. They also have the option of reversing roles and commanding the forces of the Antichrist. (Video preview here).
Blumenthal also notes that the Operation Straight Up care packages for troops "include a copy of evangelical pastor Jonathan McDowell's More Than A Carpenter -- a book advertised as "one of the most powerful evangelism tools worldwide" -- that is double-published in Arabic." So along with introducing troops to "kill or convert" theology, the Pentagon, via OSU, is encouraging troops to embrace imperial evangelism among Iraqis: gunpoint conversions, just like in the video game. Hey, it worked for the Conquistadors ...
This is so obviously insane that words fail me. Thanks for flagging Blumenthal's story go to David Neiwert, who offers some additional and no less depressing context here.
... i've had problems since midday, from several locations.
The tap must be closer to VT than not. I'd guess at the new 'access controlled' room at the phone/cable company.

But his work coincides with a geopolitical reality that has important implications for American foreign policy makers: many of the countries that most trouble the West — like Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia — have government institutions that reflect a nomadic past.
“Take Afghanistan, where politics are much more dispersed,” said Dr. Frachetti, while sitting in an upscale Almaty cafe in July, a few days before trekking to the Saryesik-Atyrau Desert to conduct that remote area’s first archeological survey. “I think some of our foreign policy complications derive from our inability to locate a nomadic dynamic within contemporary political structures.”
[...]
“What’s almost as dangerous as ignoring the cultural context of politics is misinterpreting it,” he said. “The policy community just doesn’t have a background at looking at cultures’ differences. So even if they do the right thing and start to look at cultural intelligence, the result is they will take stereotypes of Kazakhstan’s nomadic past and call it a complete truth.”
