The Permanent War System Rolls On; Serial Denial on Iraq and Afghanistan
Post Date: 2010-08-10 22:18:45 by Brian S

Two months ago, I wrote that the Obama administration and the U.S. command in Afghanistan faced an “Iraq 2006 moment” in the second half of 2010 – a collapse of domestic political support for a failed war paralleling the political crisis in Bush’s Iraq War in 2006. Now comes Republican Congressman Frank Wolf to make that parallel with 2006 eerily precise. Wolf published a letter to President Obama last week calling for the immediate establishment of an “Afghanistan-Pakistan Study Group”. It would be the son of the Iraq Study Group. Wolf is the Congressman who authored the legislation in 2005 creating the Baker-Hamilton Iraq Study Group ...
During His Office Treason Was No Crime

“During his office treason was no crime, the sons of Belial had a glorious time.” John Dryden – speaking from the 17th Century about a generic problem seen now. The level of lawlessness in the District of Criminals is rising to a level worthy of the degenerate Roman Emperor Caligula. The arrogant, prevaricating, and obfuscating narcissist Barack Obama is displaying incompetence in his nonchalant dictatorial attitude, frightening many… even life-long Democrats. He is alienating allies and encouraging enemies at home and abroad. Secession is a topic crossing the threshold of mainstream media, much as a quest for liberty in Dryden’s time drove pilgrims across the ...
Obama’s Birthday Fun Lasts Five Days-Maybe He’s Really 13?

How old is the President? Rush Limbaugh thinks August 4, the chief’s birthday, may not be correct. Okay, but what about his emotional age? Last week marked Obama’s 49th birthday. The celebration began Wednesday evening at a dinner in Chicago with Oprah Winfrey and officially ended on Sunday at the White House with a barbecue. In between he did run around to various Democratic fundraisers and gave another upbeat speech at a Ford auto plant touting his economic plan as a boon to creating jobs. With those annoying chores out of the way, he hit the golf course on Saturday and played basketball at Fort McNair while wounded war veterans watched. Then more fun on Sunday with best pal, ...

“Today, I quit being a Christian.” With those words last week on Facebook, Anne Rice delivered a wake-up call for organized religion. The question is whether it will be recognized as such. “I remain committed to Christ as always,” she wrote, “but not to being ‘Christian’ or to being part of Christianity. It’s simply impossible for me to ‘belong’ to this quarrelsome, hostile, disputatious, and deservedly infamous group. For ten years, I’ve tried. I’ve failed. I’m an outsider. My conscience will allow nothing else.” You will recall that the author, famed for her vampire novels, made a much publicized return to the ...
The Right's Ingenious Campaign To Turn One Billion People Into Our Sworn Enemies

America has lots of problems, from fighting two wars to high unemployment to anemic economic growth. Our friends on the right, however, seem to think we don't have enough problems and are working like gangbusters to transform more than a billion people around the world into our sworn enemies. As the New York Times reports, the anti-Ground Zero Mosque hysteria has gone nationwide: In Murfreesboro, Tenn., Republican candidates have denounced plans for a large Muslim center proposed near a subdivision, and hundreds of protesters have turned out for a march and a county meeting. In late June, in Temecula, Calif., members of a local Tea Party group took dogs and picket signs to Friday ...
Congressman John Boehner On Meet The Press: Another "Leader" With No Straight Answers

This morning on Meet the Press, David Gregory interviewed House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH). As is the tradition of the show, the host bombarded the guest with tough questions. Equally as traditional, the guest avoided providing straight answers to the majority of them. John Boehner is running for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives again in 2010, only this time he is competing to become the next Speaker of the House. You would think someone in such a position would be primed with all the answers. You thought wrong. As always, the subject of greatest contention revolved around the economy. That is certainly no wonder. The economy is easily the issue of greatest import in ...

I believe we should promote Muslim moderates right here in America. And why I'm returning an award to the ADL. Stephen Chernin / Getty ImagesMuslims pray at an Islamic center in Queens, N.Y. Ever since 9/11, liberals and conservatives have agreed that the lasting solution to the problem of Islamic terror is to prevail in the battle of ideas and to discredit radical Islam, the ideology that motivates young men to kill and be killed. Victory in the war on terror will be won when a moderate, mainstream version of Islam—one that is compatible with modernity—fully triumphs over the world view of Osama bin Laden. As the conservative Middle Eastern expert Daniel Pipes put it, ...

Why the Tea Party is Un-Christian

Perhaps nothing is as demoralizing as religious hypocrisy; it destroys not only perpetrators but witnesses. Every time a non-believer observes adherents acting in contradiction to the precepts of their faith, the non-believer is only strengthened in his resistance to God's call. We are not talking about the usual human failings but outrageous, repugnant, destructive violations. The scandal of false Christianity forms an insurmountable stumbling block for some who are being called to conversion. For this reason I am exposing the hypocrisy of Tea Party members who claim they are defending Christianity--a way of life they don’t follow. Nowhere in the New Testament does Jesus exhort ...

Will the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq threaten Saudi Arabia and Israel?

Punctuality is a requirement that annoys every soldier. Diplomats and politicians generally know how to avoid being on time. But with U.S. President Barack Obama falling in public opinion polls, with the war in Afghanistan changing directions every 3-4 months and no end in sight, and with congressional elections approaching in November, Obama said to his supporters "I'm sticking to the schedule". The plan to reduce the number of combat troops in Iraq to 50,000 by the end of August, reaffirmed by Obama on Monday, is not a full retreat, but it is worrying, mostly due to the fact that in Iraq there is still no government five months after elections were held. Iraqi security ...
Earmarks Help, Palin Doesn't

Over and over, politicians in Washington have condemned “earmarks,” language stuck into bills designed to provide money for special projects supported by individual members of Congress. Yet politicians keep fighting for those earmarks -- and there are some members who denounce earmarks in the abstract but then work hard for those that happen to benefit their folks back home. That may seem hypocritical, but now we know why politicians do it: Voters like politicians better when they show them the money. A new Pew Research Center/National Journal poll released today found that 53 percent of Americans are more likely to vote for candidates with a record of bringing government money ...

As soon as the WikiLeaks Afghanistan exposé came to light, it was obvious the usual suspects would start attacking the messenger than discussing the message. David Aaronovitch was quick off the mark, with others following soon enough – implying WikiLeaks was seriously damaging the war effort in Afghanistan. The rhetoric has now reached absurd levels. The US defence secretary said the WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, had "blood on his hands"; people on Fox News have called it "a terrorist organisation"; and one of the Washington Post's columnists called it a "criminal enterprise". The former Bush speechwriter also said he wanted it shut down ...
GOP Leaders Join The Hate: Gingrich And Palin Attack Ground Zero 'Mosque' With No Regard For Facts

Newt Gingrich, his doctorate notwithstanding, has offered us an illogical and ahistorical context to the ugly dispute about building an Islamic cultural center and mosque near Manhattan's Ground Zero. For a while, I thought that Sarah Palin and others would be the only ones to reap the political benefit of exploiting anti-Muslim sentiment, but Gingrich was not to be denied. With a preposterous solemnity, he expounded the schoolyard doctrine of tit for tat. Gingrich noted that there "are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia." True enough. However, it is not the government of Saudi Arabia that seeks to open a mosque in lower Manhattan, but a private group. In addition, ...

Still more proof Sarah Palin is toxic outside her bubble Okay, here's still more evidence, as if you needed it, that Sarah Palin is increasingly toxic to voters who reside outside the Palin Nation bubble. Pew Research just released a new poll finding that more than twice as many Americans see a Palin endorsement as a negative for a Congressional candidate than view it as a positive. The numbers: Thirty eight percent say they are less likely to back a Congressional candidate if Palin "campaigns on their behalf." Less than half that amount, 18 percent, say they are more likely to do so. Forty two percent say it would make no difference, only slightly more than see it as a ...
Is Fear Of Islam The New McCarthyism?

By Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite Religious freedom and the right of free expression are the strongest source of power Americans have for combating radicals who use Islam as the excuse for their violent extremism. The struggle with such extremists will not, indeed cannot, be won with military force, but through the power of our values. If there is a "narrative" abroad in the world that justifies violence against the West because the West "hates Islam," the way to correct that narrative is with the practice of our cherished ideals of religious freedom and tolerance for diversity of opinion. Instead, however, conservatives such as Newt Gingrich want us to reject not only ...

Israeli President Shimon Peres’s Britain-bashing, revealed by The Daily Telegraph, only further demonstrates the bunker mentality that now passes for foreign policy in Jerusalem. This is what he said in the interview: And in England there has always been something deeply pro-Arab, of course, not among all Englishmen, and anti-Israeli, in the establishment… They always worked against us. He finished off with the sensational headline fodder: “There is in England a saying that an anti-Semite is someone who hates the Jews more than is necessary.” Immediately, the Israeli blogosphere was humming with approval for the elderly president’s outburst. ...
Will Washington's Failures Lead To Second American Revolution?

The Internet is a large-scale version of the "Committees of Correspondence" that led to the first American Revolution — and with Washington's failings now so obvious and awful, it may lead to another. People are asking, "Is the government doing us more harm than good? Should we change what it does and the way it does it?" Pruning the power of government begins with the imperial presidency. Too many overreaching laws give the president too much discretion to make too many open-ended rules controlling too many aspects of our lives. There's no end to the harm an out-of-control president can do. Bill Clinton lowered the culture, moral tone and strength of ...

Now that another Middle East war seems imminent, concerns are growing about the new powerful weapons that are available to Palestinian terrorists. It appears to be virtually unknown that these weapons are being steadily supplied by Putin’s Russia. In the present atmosphere of the everlasting “reset” of relations between the U.S. and Russia, it is not difficult for the Kremlin to camouflage its arming of terrorists. Indeed, the world is willing to turn a blind eye. This month, for instance, Russia announced it was making another gift to the “Palestinian security forces” on the West Bank: 50 armored vehicles. According to Russia’s Foreign Ministry earlier this ...

Recently, I wrote a cover story for the American Conservative making two arguments: 1.) Rand Paul's victory shows that, in the current political environment, a principled economic and social conservative who runs a good campaign can win mainstream Republican support despite deviations from the party line on foreign policy and 2.) There are tendencies within the mainstream right -- ranging from fiscal conservatism to Jacksonian skepticism of nation-building -- that lend themselves to certain arguments for a less interventionist foreign policy, though not necessarily the kind of arguments that non-interventionist conservatives tend to make. Daniel Larison is skeptical, pointing to the ...

The news that former House Speaker Newt Gingrich folded like a cheap suit in the wake of a brazen political attack on the tea party movement was sad. But not surprising. As far back as his second term in Congress, in 1980, Gingrich sided with big labor interests until brought to his knees by a National Right to Work education campaign. Contrary to his image, Gingrich has demonstrated throughout his political career that he possesses no real ideological mooring. Now, his legitimizing the NAACP’s crass political attempt to play the race card reveals him to be nothing more than a rank political opportunist – a White House-aspiring demagogue who prefers looking good for the ...

In this Exchange, I want to examine what is going on in the US and, in particular, what is going on inside the Republican party. This matters for the US and, because the US remains the world’s most important economy, it also matters greatly for the world. My reading of contemporary Republican thinking is that there is no chance of any attempt to arrest adverse long-term fiscal trends should they return to power. Moreover, since the Republicans have no interest ...
