George really through me for a loop when I read that in today’s Erie Times News. There are few if any isolationist countries. No one country is self-sufficient. The only ones close are Korea and they are propped up by China and Miyanmar (also known as Burma). By the way I live in Pennsylvania (also known as Penn’s Woods). Read the rest of this entry »

Pakistan is next on the Empire’s list
Posted by M. C. on September 27, 2011
I thought Yemen would be next to be invaded by the forces of freedom and goodness. Pakistan looks to be where it is at. It is tough to win hearts and minds when we are burning down the village, by remote control, at the same time. See here and here for the lowdown on the latest terrorist soup du jour.

Ten Years of Wasted American Lives in Afghanistan
Posted by M. C. on September 26, 2011
I heard on NPR this morning that after ten years of recruitment and training, the Afghan defense forces are totally worthless. So the US training command is doubling the number of training personnel “in country”, adding 800 “Trainers”. I think I will call this military Keynesianism. If you are losing big-time, fix the problem by throwing a bunch more (money, lives) down the black hole. I won’t bore you with Einstein’s definition of insanity. I am sure this was OK’d by the Obamatron, who gave it his bobble-headed official pentagon rubber stamp of approval. If you were wondering why the USA is going to hell in a handbasket, you ought to be able to stop wondering. Just for the fun of it check out this monograph about Republicans and why Obama is no different from Bush. In things military I think Bush may have had something of a plan in mind. A single-celled plan maybe, but a plan. Obama just gets led by a five sided collar.

Leon Panetta => David Patraeus equals Rosemary’s Baby
Posted by M. C. on September 11, 2011
The CIA and Pentagon have become “partners” as the government issued news scripts tell us. What does that tell us about the tilt of information fed to the Pentagon and us. The Pentagon’s reason to exist is to kill people and break things. Who best keep to provide them with reasons to stay in business than their brothers in the CIA? Read the rest of this entry »

Obama lied-We are never leaving Iraq
Posted by M. C. on August 20, 2011
if you had any doubts they should have been put to bed by Leon Panetta. He recently declared we are staying in Iraq through 2012. Maliki denied this. Whether the denial is for show or not I don’t know. But I know the War Department is going to continually tell Iraq they want us to stay until they agree. Read the rest of this entry »
