Victory Is Within Reach in Iraq
By Michael A. Ledeen
Word Count: 1,483
Should we declare victory over al Qaeda in the battle of Iraq?
The very question would have seemed proof of dementia only a few months ago, yet now some highly respected military officers, including the commander of Special Forces in Iraq, Gen. Stanley McCrystal, reportedly feel it is justified by the facts on the ground.
These people are not suggesting that the battle is over. They all insist that there is a lot of fighting ahead, and even those who believe that al Qaeda is crashing and burning in a death spiral on the Iraqi battlefields say that the surviving

Ten years of Labour rule have failed to create a classless society, according to a Guardian/ICM poll published today. It shows that Britain remains a nation dominated by class division, with a huge majority certain that their social standing determines the way they are judged.
Of those questioned, 89% said they think people are still judged by their class - with almost half saying that it still counts for "a lot". Only 8% think that class does not matter at all in shaping the way people are seen.
The poorest people in society are most aware of its impact, with 55% of them saying class, not ability, greatly affects the way they are seen.

You're suggesting that they should plan for the worst, and then you talk about a middle.
If we take this to its logical extreme, then yes, as Hecate suggested, we should have population control. For starters, I'd say about 25 million people should probably be moved out of California.
Well, that might not be a bad idea. I don't how the hell you'd accomplish it though.

If you're a planner, you plan for everything, including the worst. You're focusing on the extreme end as the first option-population control in this example.
That's what I'm talking about, planning for every contigency, and being a leader in focusing the population on doing the small things that can help, less obsession with green lawns (xeriscaping), and that sort of thing.

Police in England are setting up a nationwide task force to tackle what they say is an "explosion" in thefts of metal which is then sold on as scrap.
School roofs, statues and power lines have all been targeted as millions of pounds worth of metal has been stolen.
British Transport Police, which is leading the task force, said the theft of rail signalling copper had become its biggest problem after terrorism.
Police believe the demand for metal in India and China is forcing prices up.
Copper is now worth £4,000 a tonne, twice as much as two years ago.
BBC Breakfast has obtained figures which show that in Cambridgeshire metal theft is up 170% in a year, in West Mercia 120%, in the West Midlands 112% and 100% in Warwickshire and Sussex.

Feeding animals antibiotics produces larger animals
No, I don't think that's correct. Antibiotics should not make any difference with regards to the size of the animal. I do think they give some cattle injections of Bovine Growth Hormone -- don't know if there's something like a poultry equivalent of that or if BGH would also work on poultry. I think the antibiotics are more an outgrowth of factory farming, where if there is an outbreak of a contagious bacteria, it could mean the death of thousands of animals in a short time, either from the disease or as a forced preventative slaughter.
What I Said To Those Declaring 'Victory' In Iraq Because Violence Is Down
"I'm not sure how the rate of iraqis getting murdered since we went in compares to that under saddam, but we, as a nation, have a lot to answer for for the bloody chaos of the past four years. If your ears are open, you can clearly hear the heartbreaking disappointment of the iraqi people for all the blood and chaos that the supposedly idealistic and efficient americans have brought them. Haven't you heard what iraqis have been saying about us? "They landed a man on the moon. If they wanted to get the electricity fixed and stop the violence, they could do it. Why don't they?"
If we can bring peace to iraq, successfully turn it over to them, and leave them with a functioning government, we will still have the period 2003 until now as a blot on our record as a nation. And we haven't accomplished peace yet."
.
Just for the record with regard to the "Values Voter Summit". They can throw around the word "values" all they like. But people who live and vote based on hatred, fear, intolerance, and misogyny do not have American values.

n the United States, antibiotics and related drugs are used routinely to encourage growth and to compensate for crowded and unsanitary conditions in the production of poultry, swine, and cattle. Livestock producers are not restricted from using antibiotics that are important in human medicine, nor are they required to get a prescription from a veterinarian or limit treatment to the few individuals who demonstrate symptoms of illness. Instead, antibiotics are commonly administered in drinking water to entire flocks of chickens, fed to pigs to stave off illness during forced early weaning, and given prophylactically to beef cattle to ease their transition from grass to a corn diet. The Union of Concerned Scientists estimates that 70 percent of antibiotics and related drugs used in the United States are used in animals.

"See 'Jesus Camp'"
--Gilly Gonzylon
We truly have become a country I don't recognize anymore.
MPs have backed a parliamentary motion calling on the Government to investigate claims that failed asylum-seekers are routinely abused by their British guards when they are being forcibly returned to their own countries.
The issue was first highlighted in The Independent, which published revelations this month about 200 cases of alleged physical or racist mistreatment.
An early day motion tabled by Diane Abbott and signed by MPs raises particular concern that deportations continue to take place even when detainees have clear signs of mental or physical illness.
The MPs are especially troubled by the case of a Cameroon woman who claims she was so badly beaten by her escort team during the flight that the Cameroon government sent her back to Britain.
Beatrice Guessie, 29, has since been granted bail by an immigration judge and is now living in Liverpool pending a second attempt to remove her. She has instructed lawyers to sue the Home Office for assault and unlawful imprisonment.

Poles vote tomorrow in an early general election that will decide whether the robust nationalism of the prickly twin brothers, prime minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski and president Lech Kaczynski, is given another four years in power.
The prime minister has called the election two years early following the collapse of his coalition with two small extremist parties. While the opinion polls have varied wildly in their predictions for tomorrow's ballot, the main liberal opposition, the Civic Platform, has been edging ahead since last week when its leader, Donald Tusk, was judged to have trounced the prime minister in a televised debate.
Yesterday the Kaczynskis sought to mobilise support by claiming a big victory at the European summit in Lisbon, which made concessions to Polish complaints about voting power in the EU.

What are the "related drugs"?
"encourage growth and to compensate for crowded and unsanitary conditions" -- okay, I can see antibiotics compensating for crowded and unsanitary conditions, but they don't encourage growth -- other than keeping the animal alive. I'd say the "related drugs" (whatever they are) are to encourage growth. That seems to me to be a poorly worded sentence, lumping two things (antibiotics and related drugs)together to get two different results -- growth and compensation for crowded and unsanitary conditions.

In 1953, just 10 years after penicillin became widely available, Iain Macleod, the then minister of Health, told the House of Commons that feeding antibiotics to farm animals to make them grow faster would have `no adverse effect whatever on human beings.'
Maybe I'm just being dense, but I don't see how antibiotics make an animal "grow faster" -- except in the general sense of making the animal healthier.

The mechanism by which low levels of antibiotics encourage growth is uncertain. One
possibility is that less food has to be metabolized because there is less need for energy to
fight off infection. Another possibility is that antibiotics destroy bacteria found in the
intestine, thinning its lining, thus increasing nutrient absorption. Furthermore, bacteria
living inside the intestine use some of the energy provided by nutrient breakdown.
Eliminating them leaves more food for absorption by the host organism.
It's not just the individual mold, but their strategic approach to taking over this country
At least they're not that kind of nutjobs.
Although, I constantly question that analysis.
This is powerful stuff, so I will repost:

Okay, that makes sense -- though it seems to be quite a bit of expense for small increments of added growth.
Cécilia Sarkozy yesterday gave a lengthy newspaper interview to say that her marriage to the French president failed because she hated the limelight. She admitted falling in love with another man two years ago.
Hours after Nicolas Sarkozy's office said neither he nor his ex-wife would discuss their divorce, France's former first lady went public. "I met someone, I fell in love, I left," she said of her decision to start a new life with an events organiser in New York in 2005. A year later she returned to her husband in time for his presidential campaign. She told L'Est Républicain she wanted to "behave correctly ... to try to rebuild something". But she added: "We tried everything, I tried everything. It just wasn't possible any more."

# 1781 - Patent of Toleration, providing limited freedom of worship, was approved in Habsburg Monarchy.
# 1818 - The Convention of 1818 signed between the United States and the United Kingdom which, among other things, settled the US-Canada border on the 49th parallel for most of its length.
# 1827 - Battle of Navarino - a combined Turkish and Egyptian armada is destroyed by an allied British, French, and Russian naval force in the port of Navarino in Pylos, Greece. The most important result of this battle is the end of the Greek Liberation War and the affirmation of independence of modern Greece.
# 1947 - The House Un-American Activities Committee begins its investigation into Communist infiltration of Hollywood, resulting in a blacklist that prevents some from working in the industry for years.

Nice photo essay -- bookmarked it -- they are incorrect in their translation of "conversation morum suorum," however (most "popular" interpreters of the Rule are) -- it really means "living the monastic life" with all that entails (hence our Order of the Holy Cross talks of the monastic "vow" in the singular)

I pay for it in with trash pickup and I pay quarterly. I'd estimate that, this past quarter, I paid $100 for water, so, say $333/month?? The quarter before, I paid about half that because I used so much less.

Weatherguessers here told us we were to have 3 storms between the previous Friday and yesterday. They went 0 for 3. Nonetheless, most of the state north of Bakersfield has had twice the average amount of rain so far for the rainyear. Course 2" vs 1" may not mean a whole lot this early.

There is a story at CNN that is pissing me off. The Family Research Council's head douche Tony Perkins is bragging about how their membership in their political arm went up from 5,000 to 8,000 members in time for the vote this week-end on the wankathon.
If their political group has had only 5,000 members, why the fuck has Tony Perkins been on my tv all the time. He gets more time than alot of huge liberal groups.

Good one over at TPM:
...Stark said something mean about Bush during a congressional debate. The president is a big boy; I think he can handle it. But by throwing a tantrum, congressional Republicans are suggesting that they can't handle it. They're not grown-ups. Random, intemperate criticism of Bush is just too much for the fragile, virgin ears.
In other words, by throwing a fit, Republicans end up looking weak and hysterical. Indeed, it reinforces the least flattering GOP caricature of all -- these guys can't govern, but they can fall onto a fainting couch like nobody's business.
For years, Republicans worked to create the opposite reputation. They're tough. This is the macho "daddy party." They don't care about "political correctness" and wussies who cry over words that rub people the wrong way. This is a crowd that calls it like they see it, and doesn't look bad or apologize.
And yet, they've now spent the better part of a year trembling over mild rebukes from liberals. If Democrats were smart, they'd look at this as an opportunity to rebrand the GOP as pathetic cry-babies who can barely go a week without throwing a hissy fit over one manufactured outrage or another. Alas, it doesn't look like Dems are smart at all.

Well, of course he was.
He coopted the agenda of the Social Democrats (to keep the Junkers

He was a smart conservative. Which is why wingers loathe him.
Apprentice to Darth Holden | 10.20.07 - 6:50 pm | #
well, i make the distinction between socialism as in state ownership of means of production (usually only major industries), and a social welfare state, having pension and health care financing programs, which would be all modern 'industrial' states. if socialism includes the latter, all modern governments are socialist. and, in fact, that is what wingers say.
their problem is that they don't connect the dots. because, they insist that socialism == fascism, and also that socialism inevitable leads to economic disaster. by this logic, of course, all modern governments are not only socialist, but are also fascistic, and we will all be brought down in the inevitable economic collapse that will surely occur, since they are wise enough to foresee the future with absolute certainty
but of course logic is not exactly a strong point with our friends on the right wing

I was twenty-one and hungover.
What we should do is organize at least an east coast tour for Moonboo. She could be hosted by a dozen or so Eschatonians and given exquisite hospitality and a taste of the local culture. For example, someone could drive her after the Philadelphia event to their city, put her up for the night, and show her around, etc.

Danticat, Edwidge Author
Edwidge Danticat talked about her book Brother, I'm Dying, published by Knopf. The book tells the story of her uncle Joseph, a Baptist minister who took care of her as a child in Haiti. Joseph Danticat fled Haiti in 2004, at the age of 81, and came to the U.S. seeking political asylum. Upon arrival, he was imprisoned by U.S. Homeland Security and died while in custody. She read excerpts from the book and responded to questions from members of the audience.
Edwidge Danticat is the author of Breath, Eyes, Memory, an Oprah Book Club pick, and The Dew Breaker. Her book, The Farming of Bones, was awarded the American Book Award.

Notes: Ellsbury gets Game 6 start
With Crisp in funk, Francona turns to highly touted rookie
BOSTON -- It was a move that Red Sox manager Terry Francona first contemplated before Game 4 of the American League Championship Series, only to reconsider and opt to put his faith in center fielder Coco Crisp for two more games. But Crisp never came out of his funk, and Jacoby Ellsbury took over in center for the Red Sox for Saturday night's Game 6.
Ellsbury, a speedy September callup who gave the Red Sox plenty of energy down the stretch, was excited to make his first postseason start.
"I come out here every day for this opportunity. I've just got to go out there, be relaxed and let it take care of itself," said Ellsbury. "You know, there's nerves, but I think that's good. It keeps you alert, it keeps you on your toes, and it's healthy."
hoy up - the lunatics are thickening with the night's falling - I'm out.

"What's that?"... "What have you and Colonel Cathcart got to do with my country? You're not the same."
"How can you separate us?" Colonel Korn inquired with ironical tranquility.
"That's right." Colonel Cathcart cried emphatically. "You're either for us or against us. There's no two ways about it."
"I'm afraid he's got you."
"Oh no, Colonel. I don't buy that."
Colonel Korn was unruffled. "Neither do I, frankly, but everyone else will. So there you are."

Hardly. It's difficult to sum him up with a label but I'm sure he would be considered a socialist or communist by many Americans today (read Agrarian Justice). Or maybe he's The DEVIL!
"I would not dare to so dishonor my Creator God by attaching His name to that book (the Bible)." "Among the most detestable villains in history, you could not find one worse than Moses. Here is an order, attributed to 'God' to butcher the boys, to massacre the mothers and to debauch and rape the daughters. I would not dare so dishonor my Creator's name by (attaching) it to this filthy book (the Bible)." "It is the duty of every true Deist to vindicate the moral justice of God against the evils of the Bible." "Accustom a people to believe that priests and clergy can forgive sins...and you will have sins in abundance." And; "The Christian church has set up a religion of pomp and revenue in pretended imitation of a person (Jesus) who lived a life of poverty."

It was before, but he's donating the money to a charity that he heads up, so out of one pocket into the other it seems.
The WaPo framed it like he matched her bid afterward.
I was watching CNN with my 80 year old mom, and we were cracking up thinking he prolly thought it would sell for 700 bucks or something.

Or, they could pull out of the Republican coalition for this election, see the Republican lose (which they may be calculating is likely to happen regardless of whether they stay committed to the Republicans), and then say "see, we’re the reason you lost, and you need to come back to our position or you’ll never again win." Then, in a few years, the donations pick back up, because they’ve re-exerted their coercive control and they’ll be back in positions of influence in the GOP and their organizations will be back in the money, thanks to their donors.
What about the virus that selectively infects and wipes out all the fundies? Surely someone is working on that.

Major Major lowered his gaze sheepishly, and fiddled with his fingers. "What do you want me to tell you?"
"That I've flown enough missions and can go home."
"How many have you flown?"
"Fifty one."
"You've only got four more to fly."
"He'll raise them. Every time I get close he raises them."
"Perhaps he won't this time."
"He never sends anyone home, anyway. He just keeps them around waiting for rotation orders until he doesn't have enough men left for the crews, and then raises the number of missions and throws them all back on combat status. He's been doing that ever since he got here."
What could you do? Major Major asked him self again. What could you do with a man who looked you squarely in the eye and said he would rather die than be killed in combat, a man who was at least as intelligent as you were and who you had to pretend was not? What could you say to him?

Oh, my. It's looking like there MIGHT possibly be a Game 7. I'm supposed to start a new temp assignment very early Monday morning. Do you think they'll mind if I show up visibly hungover and still wearing my colors?
I know so little about sports that they could have shown the same few clips on the news every day for the past 20 years and I would never have been able to tell the difference.
Conservatives are hypocrites and sinners. Np better. No worse.
Just like everybody else.

Me thinks they're a wee bit more mean-spirited and hateful than the average bear.
Stunt Woman, if I ever find a way to have a lethal strain of MRSA affect only Republican fundies, I'm going to unleash it

This damned game started an hour and a half ago, and it's still in the thirf inning. I love baseball. Yoooooooouk! 10-1!

Drinks are on moi!
I don't think the people who think Philadelphia has the ugliest people has ever been to Detroit. . . (Or Muskegon for that matter)

Oh, wait a minute. The DLC and the MIM - yeah, that's it.

PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Philadelphia is home to the least attractive people in the United States
Check out any Walmart in any major city. Actually, the parts of Philly I hang out in (University City, Downtown), people seem attractive. These surveyors need to change their sampling methods.
Spinoza, them too.
Providence, Rhode Island, had the ugliest woman in the world.

*See Damn Yankee.
The article really gets down and dirty:
But Farley pointed out the results don't mean people in Philadelphia are ugly or the city is a bad place to visit.
"We were asking people to vote on attractiveness, not unattractiveness. Travel & Leisure editors believe there are a lot of attractive people in Philadelphia," she said.
"The relative attractiveness of its residents is only a minuscule factor in evaluating a city's merit."
Philadelphians' self-esteem has been undermined by national surveys showing they are among the fattest people in the United States. The American Obesity Association ranked the city in the top 10 for overweight people every year between 2000 and 2005.
And sporting pride in a city known for the fierce loyalty of its fans has been hurt by not having had a national champion in any of its four main sports since the 76ers won the National Basketball Association title in 1983.
"I don't like how Philadelphians pronounce it "Woooter""
that's WUDDER!!
you know - the stuff inda crick.
DFW.... I can see that, but there are some ugly motherfuckers in Houston.

Depends on who's wearing them.

free speech, fine, but listen to that shit rush limbaugh says.
repbublicans are fundamentally...
i don't want to go to far. i've known some good people who are republicans, but they are horribly misguided.
Hey, what is this? Trash Philadelphia Night?
Why the hell not? Cleveland is getting skullfucked tonight, so I gotta get my entertainment somehow...
Cleveland needs something like the Terrible Towel.

Cleveland could use some help from the pope about now!

OK, Cleveland, grow a pair and win Game 7.
No. Not in this country. Not anywhere.

That's my point. Given the time and opportunity the kind of "conservatism" now being practised never realises its promise, to improve life for all. It eventually succeeds in destroying itself. It only benefits a very select few in the process, however. Even Hayek recognised that in 1960 when he wrote: Why I Am Not A Conservative.

she's quite well..Sarah asked the doctor yesterday if something was wrong with her because she hasn't really cried yet(other than very brief requests for new pants and food)
There is something weird about Google News -- it always pulls up right wing shit -- church news, whatever!
I also get quite different results self searching on Google & Yahoo (Google more religion -- Yahoo more wargaming)
All very odd

She moved.

I occasionally toy with the idea of moving to Providence - rents and cost of living are much cheaper, and it's only an hour to Boston. Problem is, you'd have to live in Providence.
I seen the pope in Cleveland
And the Hitler Youth.
May I say how much I HATE these people?

Cool beans. Here's to hoping she doesn't cry too much.
Speaking of Grace Kelly -- anyone see that Deborah Kerr died yesterday -- classy broad -- looked like she was about 30 for about 30 years (& TEH HAWT in "From Here to Eternity" & "The King and I" -- just sayin')

you may.

I've got some relatives in Providence. For a little postage stamp-sized city, the taxes are outrageous. Years of corruption and cronyism. It's not a deal.
I'd like to see Giuliani on a US Postal Stamp soon.
OT, but in case you missed it earlier, here's a clip from the old Joey Bishop show, where Joey and sidekick Regis Philbin make a bunch of dirty fucking hippie jokes...

Let's be moderate and reasonable
and never get too shrill
torture is negotiable
with people of good will
Let's not become uncivil
or loose our serious ways
no need to descend to their level
because moderation pays
Some people draw the line at pliers
inserted in someone's knee
or wars of choice and blood
or old folks who drown in the street
But I'd throw away the bill of rights
and ignore the blood they spill
there's nothing they can do to you
that justifies being shrill
I'd like to see Giuliani on a US Postal Service Bulletin Board soon, with his pal Bernie Kerik.

Wake me up if the Tribe stages a comeback.
One of the KUHL things about the ex-Nazi beatifying someone who refused to fight for the Nazis, is that the widow of the beatus is going to be present for the ceremony (at 96)!
Mind you, I bet she would rather have spent all these years since 1943 with her husband.
Regis Philbin is Albanian. By choice.

Any scenes involving Buddy relieving his bladder?
What about the virus that selectively infects and wipes out all the fundies? Surely someone is working on that.

Richard Reeves reads through his old anti-war columns and finds this nugget of wisdom:
Sept. 11, 2003. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was asked about who would pay for the reconstruction of Iraq. He mentioned oil, of course, but then added: "Tourism is going to be something important in that country as soon as the security situation is resolved."
Just something to be added to the Writ of Indictment for Eternal Wankery for Rummy
and this one
March 28, 2003. "The White House is finally willing to talk about the cost of war in Iraq, throwing out a first figure of $75 billion," a column began. I offered the opinion that the cost had to be at least $200 billion, winning me several hundred letters calling me an "idiot" and a "traitor." The cost estimate now (in late 2007) has reached $2 trillion -- or something above $3,000 per American family.
