Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says a final deal between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries over Tehran’s nuclear program is "within reach."
"The situation at the talks is progressing in a positive direction. There remain questions, mostly regarding procedural issues rather than technical. We have all reason to believe that results are within reach," Lavrov said after a meeting with US Secretary of State John Kerry in the Austrian capital of Vienna, the venue of talks between Iran and the P5+1, on Tuesday.
He added that the implementation of any potential agreement and its presentation to the UN Security Council are among the outstanding issues.
Lavrov noted that the deputies and political directors of the six global powers have been instructed “to do everything necessary to reach an agreement in the upcoming days."
Lavrov on Tuesday also held talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
Iran FM’s meetings
The Iranian foreign minister on Tuesday held separate meetings with Kerry, his German counterpart Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Yukiya Amano in Vienna.
Meanwhile, Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Ali Akbar Salehi and US Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz also held discussions about technical issues related to a possible final deal.
US State Department spokesperson Marie Harf said earlier on Tuesday that Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council – the United States, France, Britain, China and Russia – plus Germany have agreed to continue their talks until July 7 to finalize the text of a possible deal over Iran’s nuclear program. The two sides had earlier set a deadline of June 30 for the talks.
The European Union also extended a freeze on sanctions imposed against Iran by one week "to allow more time for the ongoing negotiations to reach a long term solution to the Iranian nuclear issue.”

U.S. caves on inspections of Iran military sites
By Rick Moran
Bill Kristol thinks this may be a deal-breaker for Congress, but it looks to me that the administration has created sufficient cover to sell to those who desperately want to avoid conflict with Iran.
Apparently an agreement has been struck that would grant the IAEA access to military sites to inspect them for nuclear work, but only after they go through a "process" with the Iranian government. One can imagine this "process." The IAEA asks politely to inspect a military site, and Iran bombastically rejects the request. End of discussion.
From the AFP report:
"We have worked out a process that we believe will ensure that the IAEA has the access it needs," the administration official told reporters.
"The entry point isn't we must be able to get into every military site, because the United States of America wouldn't allow anybody to get into every military site, so that's not appropriate," the official said.
Another US official later said the proposals were part of an April 2 deal agreed in Switzerland "the details of which are being negotiated now."
The Islamic republic has so far refused to give the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) access to sensitive sites.
"There are conventional purposes, and there are secrets that any country has that they are not willing to share," the first American official said.
"But if in the context of this agreement... the IAEA believes that it needs access and has a reason for that access, then we have a process to ensure that that is given," the official said.
Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol is appalled at the "moral equivalency" U.S. negotiators are drawing between Iran and the U.S.:
This sentence is key: "The entry point isn't we must be able to get into every military site, because the United States of America wouldn't allow anybody to get into every military site, so that's not appropriate," the official said.
Think about that. The American official argues that Iran—a rogue regime that sponsors terror and that has lied about its nuclear program, and that is under sanctions precisely because it has proved time and again it can't be trusted—should be held to the same standards as the U.S. Amazing. It turns out the left's old doctrine of moral equivalence between the Soviet Union and the U.S. has been replaced by a doctrine of moral equivalence between Iran and the U.S.
DeleteThis sentence says it all. Opponents of a bad deal should make it famous: You can only vote for this deal if you accept this basic equivalence between the Iranian regime and the U.S.
And those who've been genuinely undecided, but have said repeatedly that an acceptable deal would have to have "go anywhere, anytime" inspections, must now acknowledge the Obama administration has unequivocally yielded on what had been presented by the administration as one of its key requirements. Could this sentence be a final tipping point in collapsing congressional support for the deal?
Although that last point is devoutly to be wished, it ain't gonna happen. What we see here is the first in a series of cave-ins that are going to be sold as "reasonable compromises." The purpose is not to negotiate the best deal possible, but to obfuscate the agreement's flaws by papering over differences, which will allow those in Congress so inclined to support the president but not appear to be voting for a flawed deal. There is no way that Iran will ever let the IAEA into one of its military sites – certainly not on "snap inspection" basis. Iran will "study" the request for months and then, after any contraband is removed, graciously allow the inspectors in.
Or, as mentioned above, they may simply deny the request outright.
This "process" is as bogus as the deal itself.

Bob, you struggle to find two brain cells to rub together.
What does your 'Thought Experiment' have to do with the issues raised above? Your primary concern is Israel. Mine is the US. You did the same yesterday when confronted with evidence you didn't like. You bring up the issue of women's rights as if that justifies every sin Israel commits, whether that is breaking international law or UN resolutions or treating the Palestinians as chattel or in the case of Gaza, prisoners.
Come on, try and answer one question that has been raised here without trying to change the subject. How about that
anti-BDS resolution sponsored by AIPAC that got added to the 'fast-track' legislation just passed by the 'US' Congress. What the hell is that doing in US legislation involving the TPP, TPIP, and other trade agreements when Israel isn't even amongst the countries involved in the agreements.
.

DeleteQuirkTue Jun 30, 05:12:00 PM EDT
.
Or here's a thought experiment for you. If women's rights are the only positive you can hang your hat on regarding Israel tell me why the trend in Israel is in the wrong direction, why is it moving more towards the countries you abjure so much? When I mentioned that though Israel claims to be a 'secular democracy' perhaps the most important questions of their society are determined by religious beliefs and ruled on by the Chief Rabbinate, questions as basic as 'who is a Jew', crucial in a bifurcated system constructed to grant advantages to Jews over non-Jews.
When I ask the question, where is the justice in denying a women a divorce if her husband refuses to allow it, you offer up this flaccid inanity, 'Well, gosh some people are talking about some ways to try to change this sometime in the future.'
In 2006, the World Economic Council came up with way to measure gender inequality in the various countries around the world (about 148 of them). The 'Inequality Index' measures inequality for women across a number of categories. When it came out in 2006, Israel was the worst amongst developed countries. Further, the countries are ranked and since the initial report in 2006 through last year, Israel has dropped 30 positions and are moving towards not away from the Arab countries.

http://www.wikigender.org/index.php/The_Gender_Index_%E2%80%93_Gender_Inequality_in_Israel
While the various categories reflect Israeli society in general, the disparities seem to be most stark amongst the untra-orthodox and that is the way the country is moving at the moment. Currently, the Haredi represent about 12% of Israeli society; however, at the current birthrate that percentage will double in 17 years. Beyond that, their population is being fed by immigration and conversion. Their birthrate is about 4 times that of the non-Haredi population. Their influence is already larger than their numbers would suggest. It will only grow in the future.
As for the Haredi and their respect for women, I came across this while googling Haredi population figures.

I am going to Europe in September or October to visit.
She has given me the traditional Hindu 'Uncle's Prerogative' to pass judgement on any prospective marital mate she may be considering.
I CANNOT tell her whom to marry, but I DO HAVE A VETO, a big stick indeed.
This is all new and wonderful to me, let me tell you, and I take it very seriously.
She fired her Uncle back in India. They all said 'Get back her and marry the man. It's your duty.
She stuck with me. I was urging her not to do that.
Finally, she said, "I don't give a damn what they say back there, I'm going to Germany"
WHOOOOOPPPPPIIIIIEEEEE
I have been high as kite ever since.
This slime bucket she was with had put in the hospital for ten days, brutality.....and took all the money out of their joint checking account as a parting gesture when fleeing to India.....now she is dating a worthy.....is on top of the world......

She has by the way ZERO against the Jews, Israel, or their way of life.....
She is not so endeared of the muzzie, as you might expect....
It was a delicate balance there for a few weeks, this way or that.....but she finally chose correctly.....I had gotten her a female lawyer in Moscow for her to visit with......that may have helped.....and she did have a great lady grad foreign student adviser at U of I.....

First Chapter, Farewell to Arms....
ReplyDelete>>In the late summer of that year we lived in a house in a village that looked across the river and the plain to the mountains. In the bed of the river there were pebbles and boulders, dry and white in the sun, and the water was clear and swiftly moving and blue in the channels. Troops went by the house and down the road and the dust they raised powdered the leaves of the trees. The trunks of the trees too were dusty and the leaves fell early that year and we saw the troops marching along the road and the dust rising and leaves, stirred by the breeze, falling and the soldiers marching and afterward the road bare and white except for the leaves.
The plain was rich with crops; there were many orchards of fruit trees and beyond the plain the mountains were brown and bare. There was fighting in the mountains and at night we could see the flashes from the artillery. In the dark it was like summer lightning, but the nights were cool and there was not the feeling of a storm coming.
Sometimes in the dark we heard the troops marching under the window and guns going past pulled by motor-tractors. There was much traffic at night and many mules on the roads with boxes of ammunition on each side of their pack-saddles and gray motor trucks that carried men, and other trucks with loads covered with canvas that moved slower in the traffic. There were big guns too that passed in the day drawn by tractors, the long barrels of the guns covered with green branches and green leafy branches and vines laid over the tractors. To the north we could look across a valley and see a forest of chestnut trees and behind it another mountain on this side of the river. There was fighting for that mountain too, but it was not successful, and in the fall when the rains came the leaves all fell from the chestnut trees and the branches were bare and the trunks black with rain. The vineyards were thin and bare-branched too and all the country wet and brown and dead with the autumn. There were mists over the river and clouds on the mountain and the trucks splashed mud on the road and the troops were muddy and wet in their capes; their rifles were wet and under their capes the two leather cartridge-boxes on the front of the belts, gray leather boxes heavy with the packs of clips of thin, long 6.5 mm. cartridges, bulged forward under the capes so that the men, passing on the road, marched as though they were six months gone with child.
There were small gray motor cars that passed going very fast; usually there was an officer on the seat with the driver and more officers in the back seat. They splashed more mud than the camions even and if one of the officers in the back was very small and sitting between two generals, he himself so small that you could not see his face but only the top of his cap and his narrow back, and if the car went especially fast it was probably the King. He lived in Udine and came out in this way nearly every day to see how things were going, and things went very badly.
At the start of the winter came the permanent rain and with the rain came the cholera. But it was checked and in the end only seven thousand died of it in the army.>>

ReplyDeleteYou are a great disappointment to me.
You are bizarre. Disappoint doesn't come close to describing your performance here.
Why can't you simply offer some comment on whatever the subject happens to be. If you have an argument, offer it. If you don't know anything about it, find out about it or, better yet, just shut up. But no, you insist on ignoring the subject at hand, diverting the conversation, offering up non-sequiturs or 'thought experiments', boring us with cloying and insipid pseudo-intellectualism, anything to change the subject.
For instance, why didn't you respond to my post about AIPAC on the last stream? Why didn't you offer a defense of the group. After all, you, if you can be believed (something I would have to be a fool to do) you are the last remaining member of AIPAC here. Could it be that you don't know shit about AIPAC, that you only said you belong because WiO said he was a member? Now, WiO tells us he quit a year ago. That's gotta be a kick in the head. Don't you feel a little foolish?
And on the women issue. You tell us how great Israel and the Kurds and Egypt are. When you try to respond to the issues I raised about Israel, that is when you respond at all, you sound like a blithering nut job. You didn't even try to address the issues I raised above. And on the Kurds, you ignore the fact that the Kurds indulge in the same actions you decry in others in the ME. And Egypt. On the Gender Inequality Index put out yearly by the World Economic Forum, Egypt's in the lowest 10% of all countries rated.
So why do you praise Egypt, a corrupt military dictatorship, governing what is considered a failed state by many observers, a country that gets by on the charity of others (US, Saudi Arabia)? I can only assume it is because Egypt accepts US baksheesh in return for keeping the peace with Israel. It's all about Israel with you. You will excuse anything if it furthers Israel.

ReplyDeleteWASHINGTON — One day after President Barack Obama signed hard-fought trade legislation, his administration took issue with language meant to discourage boycotts of Israel.
The "fast track" trade bill takes aim at international efforts to punish Israel economically for its treatment of Palestinians.
A bipartisan amendment — which drew comparatively little attention in Congress' long, multi-faceted trade debate — instructs U.S. negotiators to resist other countries' actions that support the "boycott, divestment and sanctions" movement against Israel because of its policies in "Israeli-controlled territories."
Several pro-Israel groups and lawmakers backed the amendment.
But the State Department said Tuesday that "by conflating Israel and 'Israeli-controlled territories,'" the amendment "runs counter to longstanding U.S. policy" toward the disputed territories claimed by Palestinians.
The statement, by spokesman John Kirby, said U.S. policy has "strongly opposed boycotts, divestment campaigns, and sanctions targeting the State of Israel, and will continue to do so." But Kirby said Democratic and Republican presidents have consistently opposed Israeli settlements that violated borders drawn in 1967.
Kirby said the government "does not pursue policies or activities that would legitimize them."
A spokeswoman for Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland, a key sponsor of the amendment, said it was never intended to make a judgment on the Israeli settlements.
The fast track bill will allow Obama to present proposed trade deals that Congress can ratify or reject, but not change.

ReplyDeleteIt is the seventh prominent African-American church in the South to have been burned down since a gunman killed nine people at the historic black church Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal in Charleston two weeks ago.
Seventh
You are right in the area. Why not get off your arse and help guard some of those places with them ?
DeleteYou've been wanting to lose some weight.
Get you out of the house.
Please don't attach your idiot comments to my posts.
DeleteGet off your lazy arse and actually do something, Rufus, people will think more highly of you.
DeleteBy the way, that Christian Church those blacks have built there- what a wonderful institution, what an excellent community they have built.
So take your 'I hate Christians' crap and shove it,.
Those people in that black church ?
They are just 'better' than lazy arse drunks like yourself.
Please don't use my name.
DeleteAnd, by the way, moron, I haven't lived in Mississippi for several months.
And happier too.
DeleteThey don't seem driven to hate, like loners like Deuce sometimes seem so driven to hate.
They have one another, in love, the real kind.
They have found some real fulfillment.
They care.
Life has meaning to them.
They are not in juvenile Deucean despair.
I like them a lot.
Fuck off Rufus.
DeleteNot in Misssissippi any longer ?
Must be a big change in your life
I trust, and sincerely hope, you haven't moved to Idaho.
The same state as you? I can't stand being in the same country.
DeleteMy God, My God, I hope Rufus hasn't moved to Gaza...
Deleteheh ;)
You're just sore I made such a fool of you on your 'military predictions'.
DeleteYou thought you were such the cock of the walk.....
Ha ha ha
I'm glad you haven't moved to Gaza.
You were so fired up there one time you were nearly ready to go fight for them.
I was thinking at the time the gentle members of the Bar should figure some way of restraining you from injuring yourself....
Would you, Rufus, rather your daughter or granddaughter grow up and live in Israel, or Iran ?
DeleteThat is your only choice, Israel or Iran.
You know what a thought experiment is, don't you.
This is a simple thought experiment, designed to create an aha moment in the participant, a recognition scene.....
Answer like a man, or slither with Quagmire back to your snake den.
Discuss my family with racist scum? You're delusional.
DeleteNow, go bother someone else. Leave me alone, and I'll leave you alone.
I am not a racist.
DeleteAnd I can't recall asking anything about your family.
I like people with some good culture.
I don't see it in the inner cities, I do see it in that Church in South Carolina.
I see very little culture in you, Rufus.
I see a lot of gas passing and that's about the extent of it.
Then, leave me alone.
DeletePraise Egypt, Quagmire ?
ReplyDeleteI'm the guy said Egypt was better off before the Moslem Catastrophe.
I'm the guy that pointed out to you that the old Egyptian iconography came from India, 'in the form of a white bull'.
I'm the guy that noted by President Sadat said:
'We are Egyptians, not Moslems'
I praise Sisi, not the current Egypt.
And I have noted here that my OGF's Egyptian friend supports Sisi, as, she says, her country is not grown up enough for democracy, and they need a strong man to see them through puberty............
Like any sensible Egyptian high class woman, she'd rather live in Vegas, which is exactly what she has chosen to do.
And I think, that if my Thought Experiment question were put to her, she'd rather have her daughter grow up and live in Israel rather than Iran, or Egypt.
That is to say, she's got some smarts, and don't wanna be fucked with. ........................
Still waiting for our Host to declare his desires for his daughter, if he has one (he has a son or two I think) - whether he would place her for life in Israel or Iran.....
ReplyDeleteHe is slithering, along with Quagmire, Rufus, Ash.....
My point is being made by the lack of reply.....................
As I knew it would be.
Go back to your playhouse. I raised my daughters to think for themselves. They don’t need my advice where to live.
DeleteAre they occupying native lands too like their dad?
DeleteThey don’t practice apartheid.
DeleteThey don’t belong to a state that oppresses people who are of the wrong ethnic group or religion and they have allegiance to one country, USA. They obviously do not live in Israel.
DeleteYou obviously don't really KNOW anything about Israel.
DeleteBut you answered the question, you and your family occupy other people's lands.
DeleteSince America genocided the Indians all is good...
right?

ReplyDeleteA spokeswoman for Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland, a key sponsor of the amendment, said it was never intended to make a judgment on the Israeli settlements.
I'm sure it wasn't. But you'll note there was no follow-up question to old Ben such as "Then, what was the reason?"
I posed the same question to the only alleged member of AIPAC here but got no answer, "What is an amendment that is specifically written to resist the BDS movement against Israel doing in a US trade bill where Israel isn't even a party to the agreements currently being negotiated?"
No, I'm sure old Ben doesn't really give a shit one way or another about settlements in Israel. It's a lot simpler than that. He merely wants to keep the campaign funds rolling in.
.
Hypocrites and liars all.

ReplyDeleteAnd, by the way, moron, I haven't lived in Mississippi for several months.
Well, that explains it.
I saw a short piece on one of the news shows yesterday and was going to comment on it. It listed the states that had the 'least' amount of alcohol consumption per capita. Utah had the least. However, Mississippi came in fourth, right between Tennessee at third and Alabama at five. Mississippi's consumption must have taken a huge drop recently.
:o)
[Just kidding, of course. I feel obligated to state this only because it is obvious the Idaho rodeo clown has you bothered this morning.]

Naw, not "bothered" at all. I'm just tired of his ignorant, racist bullshit. The thought that such a person would discuss my family is repulsive.
DeleteI have not discussed your family.
DeleteI have 'discussed' YOU, you abject uneducated gator tail eating illiterate Oaf of the First Order.
Ill read, ill mannered, ill smelling, former Mississippi DUMBFUCK.
I'm sure I'd have compassion for your family if I knew anything about them.
Think of the pure bull shit they've put up with all these years............
Rufus, someone actually bred with you?
DeleteWow.
Deuce ☂Wed Jul 01, 06:18:00 AM EDT
ReplyDeleteHave you looked at the Aipac website lately? The Israeli-Firsters are at DEFCON 1. Several pages focused on undermining P5+1. New commercials on undermining deal. General Hayden on MSNBC undermining the deal. Pressure continues to take the deal down. Take a look at this fifth column website. To make myself clear:
A fifth column is any group of people who undermine a larger group—such as a nation or a besieged city—from within. The activities of a fifth column can be overt or clandestine.
So opposing a bad treaty makes Jews and Israel supporters a danger to the "state"…
I heard of this concept before…. In 1938…..
Wow this stuff is DANGEROUS….
ReplyDeleteInspections and Verification
Inspectors must be granted unimpeded access to suspect sites for “anytime, anywhere” inspections, including all military facilities.
Possible Military Dimensions
Iran must completely explain its prior weaponization efforts. Otherwise, it will be impossible to establish a baseline to measure Iran’s true capabilities and future actions.
Sanctions
Sanctions relief must only begin after the International Atomic Energy Agency certifies that Iran has complied with its commitments under the agreement.
Duration
A deal must last for decades to ensure that Iran does not become a nuclear threshold state with a virtually instant breakout time after 12 or 13 years.
Dismantlement
Iran must dismantle its nuclear infrastructure such that it has no path to a nuclear weapon.
Wow… AIPAC and it's Israel-firsters are just so over the line in demands...
I guess those AIPAC'ers and Israel firsters are really true Americans…
DeleteAnd those that slander them?
Are the true traitors...
The entirety of the Iran 'negotiations' are one big FARCE.
DeleteActually, everyone knows that, it's just not so PC to say so.
Even Quart Q. Quagmire, who is no stranger to negotiations, knows this......he is just chicken shit to say so.
The Iranian "deal" is comical.
DeleteInteresting that Israel is excluded from the talks.
Iran cannot even say "israel". It calls Israel a "zionist entity", a cancer, that needs to be wiped out..
And yet?
The Iranian-Firsters here would have you believe it is Israel that is the problem, not Iran's support of terror and it's hegimonic march to regional supremacy coupled with it's investment in a nuclear enrichment program and delivery capability.
.
DeleteOf course, Israel is the problem. At least it is a problem for the US.
Inspections and Verification
Inspectors must be granted unimpeded access to suspect sites for “anytime, anywhere” inspections, including all military facilities.
Moronic.
No country in the world would agree to this. None. The US wouldn't agree to it. Israel certainly wouldn't agree to it.
Possible Military Dimensions
Iran must completely explain its prior weaponization efforts. Otherwise, it will be impossible to establish a baseline to measure Iran’s true capabilities and future actions.
Nonsense.
The only baseline that needs to be established is were they are at present to judge if they comply with the agreement.
Sanctions
Sanctions relief must only begin after the International Atomic Energy Agency certifies that Iran has complied with its commitments under the agreement.
More nonsense.
This may be a starting position but the agreement is a negotiation. Sanctions relief is not an either or issue. How sanctions relief is implemented is also negotiable.
Duration
A deal must last for decades to ensure that Iran does not become a nuclear threshold state with a virtually instant breakout time after 12 or 13 years.
According to Israel, Iran is a nuclear breakout state right now. Any agreement is an improvement on that.
Dismantlement
Iran must dismantle its nuclear infrastructure such that it has no path to a nuclear weapon.
Idiotic.
There is no international agreement or protocol that demands Iran dismantle its enrichment capabilities. The NPT certainly doesn't. This new agreement would be the first that actually reduces that capability.
But why kid ourselves? These aren't serious demands. They are like Netanyahu's late hour demand that the PA recognize a 'Jewish State'. They are merely thrown out there as poison pills to guarantee that there is no agreement.
.
.
DeleteI guess those AIPAC'ers and Israel firsters are really true Americans…
And those that slander them?
Are the true traitors...
:o)
The word 'traitor' has a range of meanings that express varying degrees of perfidy. That's why I would avoid using it. However, I have no problem using the word unpatriotic when describing 'those AIPAC'ers and Israel firsters'. The very name Israeli-firster says it all.

The only thing I'd mention about Rufus and his family is how I loved to read how he played with his little grand daughter I think it is....
ReplyDeleteNow THIS amounts to something......
The elders, and the little kids, have something deep in common......they know, as those struggling through the earning years of life do not.....that it's all play, it's all a gift, and it's all good.
The older look back and wonder:
What was all that hullaballoo about ?
And turn to their grandkids, who haven't even begun to think about it yet.
For those two groups, it's all good, just as it should be.......
And so they play together......
Surely such a loving old grandpa would not wish his daughter or grand daughter to grow up in and live in Iran, rather than Israel.
ReplyDeleteOur old smelly fart Rufus just can't bring himself to actually admit it though, having been Grubbered to death on the subject by Dread Deuce.
Rufus really does very little original thinking, but his heart is often in the right place, least as far as his grand daughter goes.....
As Trish once said:
"Rufus has never been right on anything, but he is such a dear."
Trish got it right.
Trish also said, with Obama war will ultimately be more, not less, likely.
DeleteI don't have a Granddaughter, you dumb fuck. Go bother someone else.
DeleteDaughter then, or grandson.

Ash, as one who escaped the American draft by fleeing to Canada does this act of cowardice slant your opinion about issues in America?
What American draft? There is no American draft. The draft ended in 1973 a couple months before the last US personnel left Vietnam.
More importantly (and Ash can correct me on this if I'm wrong), I recall Ash saying his family moved to Canada when he was 11 and that he was way too young to have participated in the Vietnam War.
The idiot from Idaho continues to spread this calumny even though Ash has corrected on more than one occasion. This is the first time I have you stoop to it.
.
Spooking by through the archives, are we now, Quagmire?
DeleteYou may be right about Ash, I don't know.
I do recall saying, as you do not recall me saying, that if Noble Ash went to Canada to get out of the draft he showed extremely good sense, and I have never criticized him for doing so, if that is what he did. The accusation was floating around the Bar thick and thin for some time.....
We are all still waiting for you full story as to your military adventures and how they came, or didn't come, about.
We know
Rufus fell off a bar stool dead drunk and rolled into the recruiting station.
We know
Noble Deuce, due to his father, fought the Vietnam War in the pleasant countryside of England, in the US Air Force, even though he 'saw himself as a Marine'.
We know
Honest Bob got a high draft number after graduating from college
Why is it we know nothing of your history in this regard, Quagmire ?
Hiding something, hmmmmm......?
Tell us all now the history of those years in your life.
Quit with the slithering around on all things.....
You slither in the archives like rat'sass.
DeleteGo find that quote where I praise Noble Ash for going to Canada to get out of the war.
I say there it was the most intelligent decision anyone of us ever made.
Maybe that's not what happened, but that is what I said.
Shove your shmarm up your asshole, Quagmire, and tell us your personal history in this regard.
Come clean.
Ya, correct Quirk.
DeleteBob, would you choose Libya or Saudi Arabia for your daughter or niece to live in?
.
DeleteBull.
You are evidently suffering the ill effects of late onset Alzheimer disease. Your short-term memory is shot. You storm around the bar demanding this or that when its all been explained to you a number of times before. You really should be seeking help.
Why in the world would I have to consult the archives when what i am talking about has happened within the last few months. If you don't believe me ask Ash.
You are divorced from reality. Everyone here is sick of your delusional rants. You embarrass yourself every time you open your mouth.
You are sick. Get some help.

Iran and the six major powers still have issues to resolve as they work towards a final nuclear agreement, but the atmosphere among all sides during the talks is positive, a senior Iranian nuclear negotiator said on Wednesday.

If not, why not, and how not ?

DeleteWe are all still waiting for you full story as to your military adventures and how they came, or didn't come, about..
No 'we' are not 'all' waiting to hear about it. 'You" are waiting to here about it.
I laid it all out before in excruciating detail as is my usual wont. I know you saw it because being the moron that you are you called me a liar. Why would I lower myself to lie? I've got nothing to apologize for. This is just another example of you being divorced from reality.
The same for your 'thought experiment', the very idea of which is an oxymoron coming from you. I gave my answer to your sophistry upstream.
You can remember things Trish said five or six years ago but many times by the time you get to the bottom of one of these streams you can't remember what you said above. You have real problems.
You are a sick man, Bob, and I am tired of indulging your pathology. You are like that doddering old uncle or grandfather who keeps repeating the same thing over and over again because he can't remember what he said a few minutes before.
Get some help and stop bothering us.
This is not a therapy session.

I think You are a scoundrel and a liar and a deceiver.

And I don't think anyone else saw any such thing either.
You are a Sick-O.

Can anyone else out there enlighten me as to Quagmire's relationship with the US Military ?

etc etc etc

Aipac undermining US diplomatic efforts
ReplyDeleteOn April, 1, P5+1 countries and Iran agreed on framework terms ahead of aiming for resolving remaining issues by June 30.
Whether possible remains to be seen. Israel and its US lobby are going all-out to sabotage talks.
A June 11 article discussed Iranian spying on hotels used for P5+1 talks - to acquire and pass on information to congressional members and others aiming to prevent a fair and equitable Iranian nuclear deal.
National security adviser Yossi Cohen heads an Israeli team including foreign ministry, defense and nuclear energy officials coming to Washington this week to meet with Obama's national security advisor Susan Rice and likely others.
CIA director John Brennan and Joint Chiefs chairman General Martin Dempsey met separately with top Israeli officials days earlier.
Israel and its US lobby want current talks sabotaged, tough sanctions maintained, and continued Iranian isolation. How things turn out remain to be seen.
Heavy AIPAC pressure may accomplish what Israel perhaps can't do on its own. It made unreasonable demands before. It’s got new ones it calls five requirements for a good deal.
1. "Unrestricted inspections and verification:" It wants them "anytime, anywhere," including military facilities no country would permit free access to.
It wants them on short-notice anywhere within Iran's borders. "No facilities can be off-limits," it says. "Iran must not be able to veto specific inspections."
AIPAC wants robust inspections continued until the IAEA verifies all Iranian nuclear work is peaceful. It want Tehran's supply chain monitored to check on whether illicit purchases are made.
AIPAC owns Congress. Any member not fully supportive of Israel is targeted for replacement.
On March 18, 2014, 391 House members sent a letter to Obama saying inspections of Iranian nuclear facilities "should include an agreement granting the IAEA necessary access to inspect all suspect sites, including military facilities."
A same day letter signed by 83 senators said "(w)e believe Iran must…submit to a long-term and intrusive inspection and verification regime."
On March 20, 2015, 367 House members wrote Obama saying "(a)ny inspection and verification regime must allow for short notice access to suspect locations."
2. "Possible Military Dimensions:" AIPAC wants Iran to explain earlier nuclear weaponization efforts whether or not any existed - including revealing documents perhaps never produced.
It claims a baseline must be established from which to judge future actions.
3. No sanctions relief until "Iran complies with its commitments:" AIPAC wants stiff consequences for any violations discovered.
It wants Western-controlled monitors to be judge and jury about Iran's well-known peaceful nuclear program.
4. "Duration: Iran's nuclear weapons quest must be blocked for decades," says AIPAC - to prevent Tehran from becoming a nuclear threshold state.
No evidence suggests its intention to develop nuclear weapons. AIPAC demands the impossible.
It wants Tehran to prove a negative - "that it no longer seeks a nuclear weapons capability" no evidence suggests it had in the first place.
It wants Iran's legitimate nuclear program hamstrung - limiting its research and other essential activities needed to operate effectively.
5. "Dismantlement:"AIPAC demands Iran eliminate its essential nuclear infrastructure "so it has no path to a nuclear weapon" it has no intention to develop.
AIPAC's notion of a "good deal" is one no responsible nation with a peaceful nuclear program would accept.
DeleteIt wants unreasonable demands made Iran will reject to assure no final deal resolution - at least no fair one.
It wants continued Iranian isolation and tough sanctions maintained aiming for eliminating Tehran as an Israeli regional rival by regime change.
The whole world knows Iran's nuclear program is peaceful with no military component.
Claims otherwise are part of a longterm US/Israeli strategy to replace its sovereign independence with pro-Western stooge governance.
Iran remains resilient. It withstood imperial pressure for 36 years. It has no intention of sacrificing its legitimate rights now - nor should it.
Iran is the world's largest sponsor of terror and you defend them and Hamas like they were a Norman Rockwell painting...
DeleteLot's of luck.
Deuce: "The whole world knows Iran's nuclear program is peaceful with no military component."
DeleteDo you actually believe the crap you type?
Really?
Are the ICMB's the Iranians working on for "peaceful" purposes?
Or the nuclear warhead research for "Peaceful" purposes?
Or the nuclear sites that went hidden for decades? Or the under the mountain sites?
Are you naive or stupid?

I recall it was a statement in a paragraph and didn't stand out on its own.
Deuce, for all his faults, will actually pay up, being an honest, though wayward man, unlike Rufus and ratsarse, who both owe me money.
I have assigned my debst legally owed me from Rufus and ratsarse over to WiO, in the hopes he goes to the trouble to collect.

Deuce is no cheap skate, for sure. He will pay to the finder.

Highlights
ReplyDeleteConstruction spending rose a solid 0.8 percent in May, safely above the Econoday consensus for a 0.5 percent gain. April is revised fractionally lower to a 2.1 percent jump but the March gain, in a special positive, was revised sharply higher, to 1.3 percent from 0.5 percent.
Areas of special strength include manufacturing facilities, up 6.2 percent in the month for a fourth straight outsized gain that belies declines in other measures of business investment.
Turning to the key residential construction component, growth was less strong, at a moderate 0.3 percent for a second straight month. But year-on-year rates are still very solid with total spending on residential construction up 7.8 percent. Spending on single-family homes is up 11.2 percent year-on-year.
Recent spikes in housing permits, not to mention gains in new home sales, point to accelerating gains for residential construction in the months ahead. Construction is quickly shaping up as one of the lead sectors of the 2015 economy.

The economy sucks.

ReplyDeleteAre Jordan and Turkey Invading Syria?
Or are they just messaging to Obama that they’ve had enough with his non-policy?
Four years in to Syria’s civil war and same ideas keep coming up. This week, buffer zones were back in the news as they have been periodically since they were first floated in 2012 as to way to protect the civilian population from Bashar al-Assad’s regime. But the timing of the latest announcements—a one-two punch with first Turkey, now Jordan revealing plans to carve out zones inside Syria—suggests an effort by regional actors to send a message to Washington, D.C.: With or without the U.S., it’s time to intervene in the conflict.
“I find the timing of it really interesting,” said Phillip Smyth, a researcher at the University of Maryland who studies Shia Islamist militias in Syria. “First the Turks have come out with this, then Jordan comes out with it. And there’s been this similar talk in certain segments of D.C. that are, let’s say, not very pro-Obama in terms of how Syria policy has been executed.”
It’s difficult to predict whether this time around the talk of buffer zones will lead to concrete action—if so it would be the first time since the war started in 2011 that foreign armies established an official presence inside Syria. But the rhetoric has intensified.
Turkey announced plans to send 18,000 soldiers into Syria. That announcement was amplified by Jordan’s, which came out the next day in a Financial Times story that reported the Jordanian plan was “backed by key members of the international coalition against Isis.”
One key member of the coalition that definitely has not backed the plan is the US...

Interesting article (and not as long as Atlantic articles usually are). Provides a reminder of the various interests at play in Syria. A lot of it is obviously true, other parts more speculative.

Turkey wants to set up a second front against ISIS, and we won't play ball? The nerve!
Delete.
DeleteTurkey's enemies in order of priority are the Kurds, Assad, ISIS. If they can use ISIS to take down the first two, they will be happy.

The Kurds are winning.
ReplyDeleteRemember, if you win the Special Olympics, you're still a retard.
DeleteThe U.S. Department of Labor just proposed raising the overtime threshold -- what you can be paid and still qualify to be paid "time-and-a-half" beyond 40 hours per week -- from $23,600 a year to $50,400.
ReplyDeleteThis is a big deal. Some 5 million workers will get a raise. (See accompanying video, which we made last month.)
Business lobbies are already hollering this will kill jobs. That's what they always predict - whether it's raising the minimum wage, Obamacare, family and medical leave, or better worker safety. Yet their predictions never turn out to be true.
In fact, the new rule is likely to increase the number of jobs. That's because employers who don't want to pay overtime have an obvious option: They can hire more workers and employ each of them for no more than 40 hours a week.
It's high time for this change. When the overtime threshold was at its peak a half-century ago, more than 60 percent of salaried workers qualified for overtime pay. But inflation has eroded that old threshold. Today, only about 8 percent of salaried workers qualify.
Overtime pay has become such a rarity that many Americans don't even realize that the majority of salaried workers were once eligible for it.
We just keep working longer and harder, for less. A recent Gallup poll found that salaried Americans now report working an average of 47 hours a week--not the supposedly standard 40--while 18 percent of Americans report working more than 60 hours a week.
Meanwhile, corporate profits have doubled over the last three decades - from about 6% of GDP to about 12% - while wages have fallen by almost exactly the same amount.
DeleteThe erosion of overtime and other labor protections is one of the main factors worsening inequality. A higher overtime threshold will help reverse this trend.
Finally, a bit of good news for hard-working Americans.
Good News

DeleteRobert Reich is one of the few intelligent people to have worked for the government in D.C. It's unfortunate his influence isn't greater than it is today.
The erosion of overtime and other labor protections is one of the main factors worsening inequality.
True enough.
I agree with almost all Reich has to say with the exception of his opinion that the new rule is likely to create more jobs. Net/net, I expect companies would rather pay the overtime than pick up the tab for the additional benefits on new workers.

Today, Chicago's new $10.00 Minimum Wage goes into effect.
ReplyDeleteToday, Michigan Governor, Rick Snyder, signed into law a bill prohibiting cities from passing their own (higher) minimum wage.
All we need do to get everyone out of poverty is raise the minimum wage.

ReplyDeleteF-35 - The Latest Bad News
What you get when you combine incompetence with corruption and politics in D.C.
Saw a spot on CNBC today. It confirmed something I have been hearing since 2013, the F-35 can't win a dogfight.
The story is recounted by a test pilot involved in a mock dogfight between a F-35 and a F-16, one of the many planes it will replace. The F-35 didn't have a chance. It was reported the same happened when the F-35 engaged with a French plane a couple of years ago at an air show.
Lockheed Martin responds that the F-35 isn't designed for dogfights. It is designed to take down enemies at great distance. Possibly true but I doubt it will make pilots feel all that comfortable especially given the advances both Russia and China will have in place in 5 years.

Bad enough, but if you really want to be worried, read this one. The US has had no equal in air superiority since WWII, now
Will US Air Superiority be Eclipsed by China or Russia by 2020?
In addition, the price of failure continues to rise.
Already the most expensive defense weapons program in history, the price tag on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter jumped up another $4.3 billion in the last year – the latest hike in a program that’s gone $113 billion over its original projected cost, according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office.

What this country needs is a higher minimum wage to fight poverty.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm President we'll have a higher minimum wage so the father of the family can put food on the table.
ReplyDeleteIf you elect me President I'll make sure there is a father in every family.
ReplyDeleteI have heard this rhetoric since about 1960, with President Kennedy.
ReplyDeleteAnd all the way until now.
What this country needs is a new political slogan, or five.
ReplyDeleteWhat this country needs to do is make love, not war.
ReplyDeleteAnd we need to end White privilege in this country.
ReplyDeleteAffirmative Action hasn't done the trick.
We need to deny upward mobility to whites in this country.
All the politicians are dicks.
ReplyDeleteWe need to copy the Iranians.
ReplyDeleteThey are fighting for civilization.
(Yes, Deuce, you did say that)
And we need a Congress that isn't run by the Jews, too.

ReplyDeleteI have heard this rhetoric since about 1960, with President Kennedy.
And all the way until now.
***************
This kind of political rhetoric goes back thousands of years, to whenever political rhetoric began, which was when the Paleolithic hunter/gatherer/fisherfolk began to lose out, inevitably, to the more organized farmer/city folk, one of only two major moves that have ever happened in human history.
'Society' was created, class divisions arose, and art changed, the bounded form came into being, and the geometric design.
Get used to the political rhetoric, dear gentle reader, it will be with you until you die...........
My Niece has already in her young life done more actual good for people than all the Deuces, Idaho Bobs, Quirks, Rufus's, Ashes combined.
ReplyDeleteAnd she never talks politics. I have never heard her talk politics.
