NATO to take over Libya operation, Turkey says demands met
ReplyDelete.
ReplyDeleteNot content with venting about Libya on this blog, I decided to harrass my Senators and Congressman over the issue.
My post naturally was quite long.
What was interesting was that I merely posted the same message to all three officials. However, when I pasted in the comments to my Congressional Rep it got kicked out a number of times as I was forced to change specific words that were deemed unacceptable under "House Rules". But these were not the words you might think, profanity and such. It included words like "drop" and "select".
Perhaps I am just a conspiracy theorist but the first thing that popped into my mind was 1984, Newsspeak and The Ministry of Truth

ReplyDeleteFinally, I'd like to give FIRE President Greg Lukianoff the last word here. In an e-mail sent to FIRE staffers last week, Greg wrote:
ReplyDelete"Bully" is a childish word that invokes the common but unfortunate reality of mean children. Therefore, I think that using "bullying" to refer to the behavior of college students is not only deceptive, but also dangerous and wrong. Almost all the conduct that the "anti-bullying" initiatives seek to address is already a crime or offense of some kind. Invasions of privacy, stalking, and actual harassment are (and should be) already banned. The idea that we should crusade against allegedly "bullying" adults fundamentally misunderstands that free speech is part of our system for testing our ideas using words rather than weapons. Open debate and discourse is how we determine nothing less than how we order our society, what is false, what wars we should fight, what polices we should pass, who we should put behind bars for the rest of their lives, and who gets to control our government. This is a deadly serious business, and while protecting children from abuse is a noble goal in many ways, it cannot be allowed to hobble the gravely important exchange of ideas upon which our nation depends. The new emphasis on collegiate "bullying" treats adults like kindergarteners and forgets entirely the seriousness and rightful passions ignited by the issues we face in our democracy every single day.

Her views on the Asian families can be criticized; but how do you criticize her views on idiots talking on cell phones in libraries?
There is plenty to complain about with regard to Asians. Have you ever seen how Japanese or Chinese women drive. The concept of a turn signal is non-existant to them. If they need to change lanes, don't get in their way.

Hewitt Transcript, Rumsfeld Interview
ReplyDeleteHewitt:
procurement, is it possible to fix it so it’s even slightly rational?
Donald Rumsfeld: Oh, my goodness. You know, that’s an important question. As secretary, I pretty much stayed out of procurement to the extend I could, and the deputy dealt with it.
There are so many rules and regulations and requirements, and people, they take so long to produce a weapon system, that you end up having three, four, five different people manage the process over the life of the weapon system.
And that’s a formula for trouble.
I started to say that the Defense Authorization bill, and I’m going to be wrong with the numbers to some extent, but the Defense Authorization bill passed by Congress in the 1970s when I was secretary were about 16 pages in legislative language.
By the time I came back in the year 2001, it was over 500 pages. Now what does that mean?
That means that the Congress started imposing all kinds of micro-requirements. Imagine to go from 15 or 20 pages up to four or five hundred pages.

HH:
It’s very persuasive. A lot of this stuff is very persuasive. But there’s an almost mafia of opinion that is going to look at this and, I don’t know, history is a long time. Let me ask you about lawyers. I am myself a lawyer, and so I found this, and I greatly respected your general counsel and a lot of the team that you had there.
But on Page 557, you wrote one of the most extraordinary things. I had no idea. “One of the most notable changes,” you wrote,
“I had observed from my service in the Pentagon in the 1970s was the prevalence of lawyers when you returned, in almost every office, and in nearly every meeting. By the time I returned as secretary in 2001, there were a breathtaking 10,000 lawyers, military and civilian, involved at nearly every level of the chain of command across the globe.
That the DOD could function at all with 10,000 lawyers parsing its every move is astounding.” It’s actually frightful that there are this many lawyers.
...
HH:
So what does the Pentagon do about it? You know that you were overlawyered. And in fact, later you write about lawfare, very important subject, I’ve talked about it with our friend, Frank Gaffney, a few times. What…do you have a strategic suggestion what to do about that?
DR:
Well, I don’t have a suggestion.
I took action.
I remember one time when they came in to brief me on rules of engagement. And the lawyer sat to my right, and started the briefing. And I said oh, no. No, no. Rules of engagement for the troops out there are operational matters, and I want an operational person to brief me.
I don’t mind having the lawyer in the room, and I don’t mind having the lawyer having reviewed them. But having the lawyer brief me on rules of engagement gets this thing all backwards.
And I moved the person on my right, the lawyer, put the person at the end of the table, and got the operations person in to brief me. And that’s what you have to do.
You have to say look, legal advice, it’s fine, we need it, it’s helpful, there are rules that we have to obey. But by golly, the people making the judgments have to be the people who have the responsibility for the management of the war.
Doug that sounds serious. I don't have any insight on Chihuahua alignment but i'm sure I could wing it.

ReplyDeleteBud and Jim were a couple of drinking buddy bikers who worked as aircraft mechanics in Dallas, Texas.
ReplyDeleteOne day the airport was fogged in and they were stuck in the hangar with nothing to do. Bud said, 'Man, I wish we had something to drink!'
Jim says, 'Me too. Y'know, I've heard you can drink jet fuel and get a buzz.
You wanna try it?' So they pour themselves a couple of glasses of high octane hootch and got completely smashed.
The next morning Bud wakes up and is surprised at how good he feels.
In fact he feels GREAT! NO hangover! NO bad side effects. Nothing. Then the phone rings.
It's Jim
Jim says, 'Hey, how do you feel this morning?'
Bud says, 'I feel great. How about you?'
Jim says, 'I feel great, too. You don't have a hangover?'
Bud says, 'No that jet fuel is great stuff -- no hangover, nothing We ought to do this more often.'
'Yeah, well there's just one thing.'
'What's that?'
'Have you farted yet?'
'No.'

ReplyDeleteI've complained about Rumsfeld a lot but the guy wasn't dumb.
In fact, although he wasn't equipped for the war he got, he was in complete agreement with my view that you go to war when you have to, you win it, and you get out. No pottery barn rules.
He was not interested in governing Iraq.

Doug, I've logged a lot of Hawaii time, being an ex-squid. That wind power thing sounds like a winner. Molokai is kind of depressed, economically. I mean it's rustic and "authentically" Hawaiian, but this is the main drag on Molokai.

I heard today Obama saying how much he liked the movie "Black Orpheus". It is indeed a great movie. Loved it. He should go into the movie critic business. He might make some sense there.
ReplyDeleteIf Rat is starting to blame the Swedes along with the Jews I think he is blaming hiself as I picked up he was part Swede himself, sad to say, if I read it correctly. Italic/Swedes are something else. An odd group. Maybe he was thinking of the muzzie immigrant Swedes, though.

ReplyDeleteToday I was picking up my wife at Waldenbooks at the Mall, and going through the parking lot, over the many speed bumps, I came upon a beautiful new car, pure white, a Maxima, with a Washington State personalised plate - S A U D I - and this guy - had to be a male as their women aren't allowed to drive - was stopped in the middle of the way, like he owned the place - he could have pulled over - so I waited until an... an ...apparition in black appeared from the stores, otherwordly, from head to foot, but you couldn't see any feet, neither even hands, just two slits where the eyes are supposed to be, drifting slowly, silently, ghostly, to the car. This full burka - first I've seen around here, many with the facial scarves -was beautiful, made of some pure and rich material, a soft, smooth velvety blackness to appall, like Churchill's description of death, she was death floating slowly along it seemed. I assume it was a woman, though it might have been a suicide bomber perhaps, or a walking sausage, or one of Art Bell's Alien Reptilians. Anyway, it was truly strange, and kinda truly sad. I bet that burka, high class as it was, might have cost 20thousand dollars. But I wonder if the being in it had any mental capacity left.

This is just getting me more and more angry. Bully everyone into accepting your delusions and denial of reality, after all if others share a delusion in becomes reality. Perception is everything.
ReplyDeleteGaddafi is only dong what they have been doing in Bahrain, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and what Israel does to unarmed civilians when it launches missiles and jets to defeat its enemies in Gaza. They're all getting away with murder and until and unless we create a World Policeman (and no, U.S, UK - and especially Blair - please don't apply), it will always be the case.
By intervening all we are doing is ensuring that we will be murderers too (although we like to call it collateral damage).
The world's tolerance of the barbaric Israeli acts, which mirror those attributed to Hamas, and yet draw minimal comment from the Western nations only serves to highlight the hypocracy that exists over human rights and Libya, when considered separately.
ReplyDeleteAs an occupying force Israel has certain inherent duties to the citizens of the countries it occupies imposed by international treaties yet no one seems too upset that the Israeli's choose to ride roughshod over them.
Israel uses it's military against unarmed civilians, just as Libya did, yet that's OK, too. They use drones to knock off Palestinians which is also met with acceptance by the West. No sign of a 'No fly' zone there.
Until the Palestinian matter is settled justly and all those invasive Israel settlements removed there will be peace for no one. Anywhere.
I suspect that the wave of change across the Middle East will affect Israel sooner than you think. People living in the occupied territories have seen the positive affect of protest and the West and Middle East's reaction to tyrannical rule. I know that many will dispute casting Israel's politics as tyrannical but from the perspective of the Palestinians, and increasingly the arabs 'on the street', there is a recognition that all is not well in the Jewish state or in its relationship with their traditional supporters in the West. Israel's actions are increasingly analysed and criticised, 'security' and 'fighting terror' are no longer accepted as blanket excuses for the IDF's excesses. The Israeli lobby has been able to effectively counter criticism by using their influence in the US specifically to counter criticism and influence public opinion but in Europe things have changed and no longer is challenging Israel's policies seen as anti-semititic and across the Middle East the internet, facebook etc means that the opinions in the street have more voice and influence. Israel will in future have a very different audiance for its aggression and the country will find that the world is far less sympathetic. As South Africa found out, once world opinion has moved against you it is very difficult to reverse the process. If the tide has turned against Israel then we can expect change to be sooner rasther than later.
This operation is a mistake, and the fact that it was endorsed by the clowns at the UN and Gaddafi's fellow despots in the Arab League (at least initially) is proof enough. That said, Gaddaffi has had repeated last chances to mend his way, he could have avoided the UN resolution and US/UK/French action by calling off his goons and talking to the rebels (or just bowed to the inevitable and left). Instead he ploughed ahead with his repression and brought this upon himself.The rebels asked for a no fly zone and the UN/USA/UK/France decided that meant they could bomb the shit out of Libya. This is a Libyan internal problem it is not a disagreement between nations and therefore is fuck all to do with that imperial talking shop, the UN.
ReplyDeleteYour post is quite amusing. I don't like Obama right along with you people but It should be clear to anyone with half a brain that Obama has no moral compass. He's a narcissistic sociopath whose actions are only limited by what he can get away with. I doubt that his relationship will ever be the same with the press. In my view, the love affair is over between Obama and the press. The press will not be carrying an ocean of water for him this time. At all.
ReplyDeleteIt's why he will lose to virtually any serious Republican but, possibly, Palin and Huckabee.
Saw an article the other day. Some poll-or-something-or-rather. Said Obama wins by 10 percentage points over any Republican right now.
