SURGE: UP TO 48,000 TROOPS; COSTS GROSSLY UNDERESTIMATED
February 2nd, 2007It’s about Iran now. The situation in Iraq is being used as a cover for what’s about to happen in Iran. By the time people figure it out, they’re going to be looking at the next “terrorist” atrocity on CNN. Via: Defense Tech: President Bush and his new military chiefs have been saying for nearly […]
U.S. CAUTIONS EUROPEANS TO AVOID OIL, GAS DEALS WITH IRAN
February 2nd, 2007I should probably start work on a prepared statement to post once this thing finally goes off the rails. It might be hard to put coherent sentences together after witnessing what is about to happen. Via: Washington Post: The Bush administration is warning European oil and gas companies against investing in Iran, trying to head […]
From the Wonderful Folks Who Brought You Iraq
February 2nd, 2007This is a long but excellent article. It takes you inside the pathological decision making process that has brought us to this point. While it doesn’t give me much hope that the military will stop this, it confirms my analysis that this diabolical regime is not even considering alternatives to war with Iran. I forgot, […]
Bush Violation of FISA Law a Felony
February 2nd, 2007I’m sick of all of the bullshit talk about “the law” and this regime. We’re WAY beyond “the law” now, and any possible remedies it affords us. Since when did tyrants start paying attention to any laws but their own psychotic whims? Lots of smart people flapping their gums and tickling their keyboards re: “the […]
U.S. Plans to ‘Fight the Net’
January 31st, 2007Oh what a difference a decade makes. A little less that that, in this case. In 1995, when I first suggested to a professor that net centric warfare would become a core military competency, right along with rockets, rifles and bombs, I got a bit of a laugh. He let me write my paper anyway. […]
Brookings: U.S. Must Abandon Iraqi Cities or Face Nightmare Scenario
January 31st, 2007Iraqoslavia. Via: Independent: The US must draw up plans to deal with an all-out Iraqi civil war that would kill hundreds of thousands, create millions of refugees, and could spill over into a regional catastrophe, disrupting oil supplies and setting up a direct confrontation between Washington and Iran.

January 30th, 2007Ahh, the loving Democrats are at it again… Via: Library of Congress: Universal National Service Act of 2007 (Introduced in House) HR 393 IH 110th CONGRESS 1st Session H. R. 393 To require all persons in the United States between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform national service, either as a member of […]
IRAQ CRASH KILLED KEY U.S. OFFICERS
January 28th, 2007In the wake of U.S. Soldiers Killed by English Speaking “Insurgents†Who Were Armed with American Made Weapons and Driving Black SUVs, I decided to take a closer look at other recent U.S. military deaths in Iraq. What I found was astonishing. I didn’t know a helicopter could carry so much brass. Among the dead […]
U.S. Sends Second Carrier Group to Persian Gulf, Warns Iran About Trying to Dominate Region
January 24th, 2007I’d like to believe that a group of admirals and generals will say, “Enough. We’re not doing this,” buying the world a bit more time. But time for what? Maybe humanity just needs to learn this lesson the hard way. Again. Via: AP/MyWay: A second U.S. aircraft carrier strike group now steaming toward the Middle […]
U.S. TO DOUBLE SIZE OF STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE
January 23rd, 2007Well, well, well… The U.S. spends more on the war in Iraq in one day (about $300 million) than it does on the ANNUAL BUDGET for the primary government laboratory that is tasked with renewable energy and energy efficiency research and development. And this is the energy plan for the future… Via: Bloomberg: Crude oil […]
