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

GravatarTen 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.

GravatarYou'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.

GravatarPolice 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.

GravatarFeeding 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.


GravatarWhat 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."

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.

Gravatar"See 'Jesus Camp'"
--Gilly Gonzylon

We truly have become a country I don't recognize anymore.


GravatarMPs 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.

GravatarPoles 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.

Gravatarn 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.

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.

GravatarBetter still:

http://oss.mcgill.ca/everyday/ an...bioticsfeed.pdf

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.

At least they're not that kind of nutjobs.

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".

GravatarThere 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.

GravatarGood 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.

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

GravatarNotes: 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."

"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."

"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."

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.

Gravatarpg. 101 Catch 22

"Oh c'mon Major. Can't we do without that horseshit?"
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?

PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Philadelphia is home to the least attractive people in the United States, a survey of visitors and residents showed on Friday.
The city of more than 1.5 million people was also found to be among the least stylish, least active, least friendly and least worldly.
...For unattractiveness, Philadelphia just beat out Washington DC and Dallas/Fort Worth for the bottom spot. Miami and San Diego are home to the most attractive people, the poll found.

*See Damn Yankee.


GravatarThe 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.

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.

GravatarRichard 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.

The synthesizer backing track is playing back at 48K instead of the 44.1K it was recorded in. Eddie manfully tries to transpose up approximately 1 1/2 semitones, with predictable results - the licks during the "chorus" starting at 1:48 are instructive, and the guitar solo starting at 3:00 is... well... I don't think I've ever heard anything like it!

This is the new sober Van Halen, David Lee Roth is working on his Ozzy "shuffle 'n' wobble" stage moves & ex-bass player Michael Anthony must be lying on a beach somewhere blessing his lucky little stars and laughing his tootsie off.

Not just Democrats, but also the teebee news media. ABC News, NBC News, and CBS News among others.

Another interesting fact is that Dead-Eye and the Cod Piece let a contract to Mitchell Wade's company, MZM, to screen their mail for anthrax. MZM had zero experience at this sort of thing. The cost? Precisely the amount of money necessary to buy Duke Cunningham's payoff yacht, $145,000.

The only reason one would let a contract for what appears to be a critical service to a git like Wade is because you don't ever expect to need the service. I.e., the White House KNEW who had done the anthrax killing and KNEW they had nothing to fear.
