All of this brings me to the conclusion of what the false war on terror REALLY has done for the United States of America.
"Current Military Spending" in the 1995 budget for our Department of Defense was $259 billion, plus the "defense" portion from other parts of the budget. Spending on nuclear weapons (without their delivery systems) amounted to about 1% of the total budget.
"Past Military Spending" would be represented by veterans' benefits plus 80% of the interest on the national debt.
We are selling our currecy to Asia via bonds, right? Keep that in mind. They are waiting patiently. the Intelligence Estimates always make mention how we cannot devote ourselves to 100% Defense Expenditure thinking.
So on top of the post-2001 money for the emergency operations in Iraq and Afghanistan...
If there had been no military spending, most (if not all) of the national debt now would have been eliminated. Analysts differ on how much of the debt stems from the military to; estimates range from 50% to 80%.
80% actually may be conservative, if the Iraq/Afghanistan operations indeed costs indirectly between 1 to 2 trillion dollars.

What worries me about McCain is whether or not Misquamacas will emerge from the goiter on McCain's face during the debates and commence to wreak havoc.
Joseph Stiglitz, a Columbia University professor who won the Nobel prize for economics in 2001, said in January 2006 if you remember...at a very pivotal moment in the legacy of your executive leadership...these two front wars will now cost over 1 trillion dollars...
Today...
..."Current Military Spending" is 35%, up from 27% in 1995. That's $965 billion, up from $302 billion.
Today...
..."Past Military Spending" is 18%, down as a percentage from 25% in 1995. That's $484 billion in real dollars, up from $286 billion.
All of it...borrowed. Down, Up...it's a percentage...look at real dollars.
If you include the $200 billion spent on the War on Terror (in allowances), then the 2009 budget was underestimated by a full 80%.

It seems to me an ugly moment to have the claim about keyboard use challenged because of wartime injuries.
but the mcsame campaign is not saying this, because they know it is simply not true.
for LAT or anyone else to go back to an article form 8 years ago that says the Viet Cong (the guerrilla forces of south vienamese) caused the injuries when mcsame was held in Hanoi raises questions about accuracy.

He cannot do anything. He is 100% disabled.
In 2000, some people (GOPers) were concerned about Joe Lieberman's ability to take over as president because Holy Joe is 100% disabled on the Sabbath. He couldn't even flip a light switch.
But John McCain is 100% disabled everyday. And his injuries do not permit him to so much as flip a light switch or click here.
Yet, these same people are not concerned.
Is that because they do not choose their words carefully like Barack Obama does?

Bob Herbert, NYT:
For those who haven’t noticed, we’re electing a president and vice president, not selecting a winner on “American Idol.”
Ms. Palin may be a perfectly competent and reasonably intelligent woman (however troubling her views on evolution and global warming may be), but she is not ready to be vice president.
With most candidates for high public office, the question is whether one agrees with them on the major issues of the day. With Ms. Palin, it’s not about agreeing or disagreeing. She doesn’t appear to understand some of the most important issues.
So, McCain grabs people's PDAs and reads what's on them -- how utterly invasive.

Barack Obama could talk about how he told his daughters that John McCain is a hero.
"Then why is he lying about you, Daddy" they ask him. "Heroes aren't supposed to lie."
Tearing up -- Barack Obama could say: "I had to try to explain to my young daughter that sometimes heroes dissapoint us and let us down. But that doesn't mean that they are not heroes."
This would absolutely destroy McCain.

Obama hypothetically suggested covert action in Pakistan and the Bush administration actually ran them several months later.
Then it was the 12,000 additional troops to Afghanistan he called for, which the Bush administration approved.
Now after Obama launched his campaign for the presidency on the premise of timetables for withdrawal from Iraq, Secretary of State Rice reported from Baghdad that after meeting with the foreign minister, Hoshyar Zebari, the two countries have agreed to goals for American troop relocations and timetable to withdraw American forces from Iraq by the 30th of next June.

NYT lead editorial:
The interviews made clear why Americans should worry about Ms. Palin’s thin résumé and lack of experience. Consider her befuddlement when Mr. Gibson referred to President Bush’s “doctrine” and her remark about having insight into Russia because she can see it from her state.
But that is not what troubled us most about her remarks — and, remember, if they were scripted, that just means that they reflect Mr. McCain’s views all the more closely. Rather, it was the sense that thoughtfulness, knowledge and experience are handicaps for a president in a world populated by Al Qaeda terrorists, a rising China, epidemics of AIDS, poverty and fratricidal war in the developing world and deep economic distress at home.
----------
Her answers about why she had told her church that President Bush’s failed policy in Iraq was “God’s plan” did nothing to dispel our concerns about her confusion between faith and policy. Her claim that she was quoting a completely unrelated comment by Lincoln was absurd.
This nation has suffered through eight years of an ill-prepared and unblinkingly obstinate president. One who didn’t pause to think before he started a disastrous war of choice in Iraq. One who blithely looked the other way as the Taliban and Al Qaeda regrouped in Afghanistan. One who obstinately cut taxes and undercut all efforts at regulation, unleashing today’s profound economic crisis.
When did John McCain ever have any honor? When he killed all those sailors on the Forrestal? When he used affirmative action to crash multimillion dollar jets after finishing at the bottom of his class? When he did his best to stop the investigations into the Keating 5? When he shitcanned his wife after her accident? When he chose an obviously unqualified moron as running mate?
help me out here. Honor? Never.

The nuclear smuggling ring headed by Pakistani scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan possessed a broader range of secret nuclear designs than was previously known and shared them electronically among members of the network, a U.N. watchdog group said yesterday.
A report by the International Atomic Energy Agency also acknowledged large gaps in investigators' understanding of the smuggling ring, raising concerns that Khan's nuclear black market may have had additional customers whose identities remain unknown. (My emphasis)
Let's see: BushCo outed a leading CIA counter-nuke weapons dissemination spy and her entire ring of contacts.

Bill Moyers said in 2002 at the annual CAF gala; the Bush admins goal is to take us back to the policies of the Garfield admin. That having been largely accomplished McCain represents progress, to the Coolidge admin, when thhe only males that could/would use a keyboard wimpy were uber geeks and to the important tough guys were expected only to know little and denying more was manly.
PS - Hey John (McCain) you can put a keyboard on your lap you know!

The Honor Code
At Caltech, cooperation and collaboration, rather than competition, are the keys to success. The community is shaped and guided by the Honor System, which has been a crucial component of the Institute since its earliest days. The system encompasses a variety of practices and behaviors, but finds its purest expression in the Honor Code:
"No member of the Caltech community shall take unfair advantage of any other member of the Caltech community."
It's a simple statement with far-reaching implications. It means, for instance, that Caltech students are routinely issued keys that give them 24-hour access to labs, workshops, and other facilities on campus. It means that collaboration on homework and other assignments is not just encouraged, it's practically essential for success. And it means that exams are never proctored (in fact, most of them are take home).
The Honor Code confers the power to freely choose responsible actions. Caltech students value this freedom highly and guard it fiercely, which is why the system actually works.
To put it bluntly, McCain would have been expelled from Caltech the first week.

It's far too late for McCain to lose his honor.
He did that long ago. When he rolled over and played along with the shitstains who slandered him and his family in 2000. He demonstrated conclusively that he had no spine then.
His ambition has totally consumed him, leaving absolutely nothing.

When did John McCain ever have any honor? When he killed all those sailors on the Forrestal? When he used affirmative action to crash multimillion dollar jets after finishing at the bottom of his class? When he did his best to stop the investigations into the Keating 5? When he shitcanned his wife after her accident? When he chose an obviously unqualified moron as running mate?
help me out here. Honor? Never.

But the fact that the candidate is being called on it doesn't seem to stop him from doing it. Take, for instance, what he says about Obama's health care plan:"

Dems take note: Hitting an opponent on economic issues is standard political strategy. But going after a candidate for his skill with computers and e-mail …
...is a new, 21st century line of attack.
The McCain campaign charged that it’s untrue.
“John McCain travels with a laptop,” said McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds. “This is a senseless tactic from Obama’s campaign because they’re struggling with the realization that the American people understand he is not equipped to deliver change because his record has no bipartisanship or significant legislative accomplishment in it.” http://www.balloon-juice.com/?p=11294
See how Bounds seamlessly changed the topic from the one of McCain being out of touch to Obama's inexperience in government (and away from the more obvious one of Palin's inexperience) and letting the "stupid" right wing bloggers "Obama's attacking an injured POW war hero because he can't lift his arms above his head!" cry.
3 for 1, that's how they do it and have been doing it and why they're tied with a strong possibility of winning and why the media see them as winners and Democrats as losers...they're slick high school kewl kidz and who wouldn't want an invite to their party?

The Brigade Honor Concept “Midshipmen Do Not Lie, Cheat or Steal” provides only
a starting point for the Naval Academy’s mission of moral development. Only
midshipmen can uphold the Brigade’s Honor Concept, just as only the individual can
uphold his or her personal honor. They must make it a reality in the Brigade through
many positive acts of encouragement.
The catch is at the military academies, there is a "go along to get along" current running at the same time that can undermine individual integrity.
There's some serious tutoring of "manufacturing reality" going on. I use to see this as a junior officer all the time. I knew one Pointer who was a serial liar and the chain of command knew it, but nothing was ever formally done about it.
Then there was the lieutenant who was running a pot distribution network, and the lieutenant who appeared to be a kleptomaniac...his BOQ was filled with pilfered military equipment.

Voter Registration GOP Games
from Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
SATURDAY, Sept. 13, 2008, 10:40 a.m.
By Associated Press
McCain mailing draws complaints
The Wisconsin board that oversees elections is fielding complaints that Republican presidential nominee John McCain's campaign is sending out a mailing that includes an application for an absentee ballot - but in some cases the address is wrong.
Democrat Beverly Jambois of Middleton got one of the fliers addressed to her husband Robert, a lawyer for the state Transportation Department. They're registered to vote in Middleton, but the absentee ballot application was addressed to the Madison city clerk's office.
"They're trying to knock me off the rolls," she said. "I can't tell you how upsetting it is to me. This is how you win elections? By disenfranchising other voters?"
Kyle Richmond, a spokesman for the Government Accountability Board, said there have been 10 complaints in the past two days from those who got the McCain flier. The board's staff is investigating, he said.
Absentee ballots may only be used in the locality where the person is registered to vote, he said.
Mark Jefferson, executive director of the state Republican Party, denied there was any intent to prevent people from voting. The wrong absentee ballot applications were the result of incorrect information in databases used for the mailing, he said.
"You do the best with the lists you have, and no list is perfect," Jefferson said. "There is certainly no type of suppression effort going on."
He said the mailing was directed to hundreds of thousands of voters.
Local clerks now are processing absentee voting applications. The absentee ballots aren't sent until about four weeks before the election.

All I could think of was IED and the Sunni uprising in Iraq.
Your terrorist, my heroic guerrilla fighter.
And then there were the scenes from WWII London and a nation pulling together and EVERYONE sacrificing because there was a war on.
All I could think of was Bush knowing that if asked the nation to sacrifice equally--increased taxes to pay for the way and asked for other sacrifices let alone a draft--people would have said: "This is not that kind of threat. War with Iraq is uncalled for."

She just ran a photoshop picture of Obama with big red lips. Like he was Al Jolson in blackface. It drips racism....
Obama is not a legitimate candidate. He is not a qualified candidate. And, he is not an electable candidate.
I hope someday you and the others at Eschaton will realize how wrong you were about Obama. But like always, I’m sure you will blame it on that evil Hillary.

you know something curious?
The president of Bolivia, a small country, is accusing the US of interfering with its internal affairs...and the Russians and Venezuelans are supporting them...kinda reminds me of another small country with a big bully interfering with its affairs....what's the name of that place? starts with George or something....
but of course we are defending freedom so its COMPLETELY different.

I just read the NYT Times Palin smack down editorial. It was pretty concise on the experience issues. However, the NYT in my opinion doesn't reach the undecided voters we need to to get this McCain train rolling off it's tracks. I do hope Obama uses those very points from the editorial to message undecideds everywhere.

Defending laissez faire capitalism.... It's the Friedmanites that have conflated that with "freedom."
There was a diplomatic trifecta yesterday though--Bolivia and Venezuela expelled US ambassadors, but, oddly enough, Honduras also refused to accept the credentials of the new US ambassador, which makes him persona non grata.

It's worth thinking about the West Point Honor Code. Not tolerating someone who lies means, if taken on face value, that if you're caught, say, bragging about Saturday evening exploits, you get thrown out of Woo Poo. So either there's discretion, or there's rigidity to the extent that human interaction becomes impossible.
So such a code requires--not implies, requires--that a level of tolerance for lying be arrived at socially, with no controls whatever otherwise. It thereby demands hypocrisy. It places group cohesion, for better or for worse--and anybody who's ever been in the military has seen both--before all else, which, on its face, is quite the opposite of the intent of such a code.
The West Point motto is Duty, Honor, Country. The order of these three is vitally important, and far from a casual construction. Duty, to one's fellows, comes before honor.
