But, yes, it's -- there's some positives and some negatives. Some positives in Russia is there's a middle class beginning to develop that is gaining purchasing power, which will help their economy.


GravatarWanker is right.


GravatarChanges Of Rule Of Law

Obviously, some of the negatives are the different changes of rule of law, the diminution of a free press; just some of the decisions he's made have sent mixed signals to the West and mixed signals to me.


GravatarDamn, That's Good Blow!

The key point I want to make on this is that we want to work with -- I want to work with Europeans, as well as the Chinese and the Indians to come up with a way forward that achieves a series of objectives one, a reduction of greenhouse gasses -- without endangering economic vitality and growth, and at the same time helps move the technologies that will enable us to, here in America at least, become more energy independent, and at the same time better stewards of the environment.

GravatarDid someone post on an earlier thread that "Plan B" if the surge doesn't work was to train Iraqi troops to stand up?

http://209.85.165.104/search?q=c...tory/ 47980.html
Fri, Apr. 20, 2007
Military planners have abandoned the idea that training Iraqi troops will enable American soldiers to start coming home soon and now contend that U.S. troops will have to defeat the insurgents and secure control of troubled provinces.

Training Iraqi troops, the cornerstone of the Bush administration's Iraq policy since 2005, has dropped in priority, officials said.

Pentagon officials said they know of no new training resources included in U.S. plans to dispatch 28,000 additional troops to Iraq. The officials spoke only on the condition of anonymity because they aren't authorized to discuss the policy shift publicly.

U.S. officials don't say that the training formula -- championed by Gen. John Abizaid when he was the commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East and by Gen. George Casey when he was the top U.S. general in Iraq -- was doomed from the start. But they said that rising sectarian violence and the inability of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to unite the country changed conditions. They say they now must establish security while training Iraqi forces because ultimately, "they are our ticket out of Iraq," as one senior Pentagon official put it.

Casey's "mandate was transition. General Petraeus' mandate is security.

GravatarFrom MoveOn:

In April, more than two-thirds of Americans reported that their gas bills were causing financial crunches, with a full third saying it was having a "serious" impact on their families.4

That same month, the top two US companies, Exxon-Mobil and Chevron-Texaco, announced a combined $14 billion in first quarter profits.5

It seems like even the oil industry has gone too far this time, and it's time to balance the scales. The Senate passed a price-gouging measure out of committee last week, and the House bill now has over 100 co-sponsors from both sides of the aisle.

The oil industry is nervous. They've sent their lobbyists to the Hill in full force to stop—or at least weaken—these bills, and they're pulling out all the stops. The American Petroleum Institute, an industry front group of more than 400 oil and gas companies, even threatened that new laws could increase gas prices more.6

GravatarMuslim Americans are largely integrated in US society and moderate in their views, a nationwide survey suggests.

However, most respondents say life has become more difficult for US Muslims since the 11 September attacks.

"Iran is fighting a proxy war in Iraq and it's a very dangerous course for them to be following. They are already committing daily acts of war against US and British forces," a senior US official in Baghdad warned. "They [Iran] are behind a lot of high-profile attacks meant to undermine US will and British will, such as the rocket attacks on Basra palace and the Green Zone [in Baghdad].

GravatarOnly 8,000 Romanians and Bulgarians came to work in Britain in the first three months after their countries joined the European Union on January 1, according to official figures published today.

Although ministers are being cautious, the figures appear to explode claims by anti-immigration groups that 300,000 would "flood in" from Romania and Bulgaria in the first 20 months of EU membership.

The Home Office figures show that 10,418 Romanians and Bulgarians applied for permission to work in Britain between January and March this year, of which 7,935 were granted. The figures include 2,660 who registered as self-employed and 200 who described themselves as "self-sufficient". About two-thirds were Romanian.

GravatarEx-Justice aide won't turn over docs subpoenaed by House
Goodling fails to turn over documents subpoenaed by House committee Michael Roston
Published: Tuesday May 22, 2007

Former top Justice Department aide Monica Goodling was chided by the House Judiciary Committee for failing to turn over documents that had been subpoenaed as part of the investigation into the firing of 8 US Attorneys. Goodling is set to testify before the Committee on Wednesday.

"I am concerned, however, about your statement that Ms. Goodling is going to refuse to produce documents in her possession that are responsive to the subpoena," Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), the committee's chairman, wrote to Goodling's attorney John Dowd.

In responding to an argument made by Dowd on why Goodling did not need to turn the documents over, he added, "We are aware of no authority that permits internal Department administrative regulation to allow a former employee of the Department of Justice, or any other person, to avoid the subpoena power of the House of Representatives, as that power is central to the House's ability to carry out its Constitutional oversight mandate and certainly trumps internal agency regulations."

Peter's definitely not dead. Between flying, regenerating, teleporting and whatever the fuck else he'll make it. Nathan I can't really see an out for (and really, since he redeemed himself from evil he's probably dead). But this show isn't above doing something hokey like bringing him back with a beard having lost his memory and taking like 10 episodes to spool out that Peter teleported him to a buddhist monestary where he spent the past year engaging in an ascetic lifestyle or some shit.

Sylar's alive. The creators said as much somewhere are another. They also showed he'd crawled down that manhole or whatever.

Gravatar The most outspoken female MP in Afghanistan has been expelled from parliament after saying proceedings had descended to a level "worse than a zoo". The views of Malalai Joya, in a television interview, outraged fellow parliamentarians, who immediately voted to suspend her from the house for the rest of her five-year term. Some even demanded that she should be brought before a court for defamation and stripped of the right to stand again as a candidate.

This was not the first time that 28-year-old Ms Joya, a fervent advocate of women's rights, has angered male MPs with her criticisms. Some have thrown water bottles at her while she spoke in debates and others have threatened her with rape. She has also survived assassination attempts and has to regularly change her address after receiving death threats from Islamist groups.

If you're talking about Kerrey, he removed himself some time ago. If you are talking about Ben Nelson, probably not. *sigh*

Nebraska politicians tend to be very nondescript, upper management types. We don't have a lot of "charisma" candidates at the state level. This is a good thing in some ways, because the firespewing wingnuts tend to get looked at pretty skeptically and go down in flames if they make it to the Generals. Pete Ricketts was the last example. He bloviated nonstop about "family values" and got trounced.

Otoh, since the climate favors "grinders," it tends to cut out progressives.

GravatarThe challenges of being a grown up are amply illustrated by encountering situations of unacceptable behavior in other people for which sending in the Marines, nevertheless, wholly fails to improve the situation.

B) Insist that the next six months must pass before you redetermine the effectiveness of having sent in the Marines.
C) Call everyone who disagreed with the idea of sending in the Marines or suggests option A a traitor, surrender-monkey, defeat-o-crat, America-hater, troop-hater, faggot, terrorist-lover, etc...
D) Rename the cafeteria food.
E) Insist that someone else is really behind all of this failure and suggest that they have the Marines sent in against them as well.
F) Invent new mental disorders to accuse your critics of suffering from and put the name 'syndrome' on it because that sounds all science-y and stuff.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Halliburton Co., the Houston, Texas-based oil services company, is shifting the company's focus and capital investments away from North America and toward the oil and gas-rich Middle East, its chief executive Dave Lesar said here Tuesday.

Lesar, starting his first week running the company from his new headquarters in Dubai, said Halliburton would quickly expand its Mideast operations as it targets $80 billion in new business over the next five years — 75 percent of which lies in the eastern hemisphere, mainly the Middle East.

"Halliburton is committed to this part of the world," Lesar told a group of Dubai-based reporters.

The company seeks Arab investors and a share listing on Dubai's new international stock exchange, Lesar said. Halliburton has already hired 4,800 of the 14,000 new workers it plans to bring aboard this year, many of them in the Arab world, he said.

"We're looking for as many young Arab and Asian engineers, technicians and professionals to come and join our organization," Lesar said while swigging a Coke in a swanky hotel meeting room.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/ 20070...X3Xoei7M_EPLBIF
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The male impotence drug Viagra may be useful for treating jet lag as well, according to Argentine researchers who gave it to hamsters made to feel like rodent globe-trotters.

The researchers manipulated the schedule of turning lights on and off to induce jet lag in the laboratory animals, they reported on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Adult male hamsters given Viagra, also called sildenafil, recovered from jet lag up to 50 percent faster than hamsters that were not given it, the researchers said.

The scientists stopped giving the hamsters the highest dose they had been using in the experiment due to a certain side effect.

"However, we used the intermediate dose for the rest of the experiments because at that dose animals did not manifest the effects of sildenafil-induced penile erections," they wrote.

Viagra is also a great floor wax and a desert topping.

GravatarBISHKEK, May 21 (RIA Novosti) - Kyrgyzstan will close a U.S. military base on its territory if the United States uses it for purposes other than to support an antiterrorism campaign in Afghanistan, the parliamentary speaker said in an interview with RIA Novosti Monday.

Located south of Bishkek, the country's capital, Manas airbase is the only U.S. base in post-Soviet Central Asia since Uzbekistan evicted American troops from its territory in 2005. Recent media reports hinted at the possibility of the U.S. using the base in the Central Asian state to deliver air strikes against Iran.

"The American base has been opened only to conduct an antiterrorism operation in Afghanistan, because we allowed [the U.S.] to use it only for work in Afghanistan," Marat Sultanov said.

In Kabul, firebrand MP Malalai Joya was banished from parliament after she compared her fellow, overwhelmingly male, colleagues to farmyard animals.

Islamist extremists railed against Ms Bakhtiar last month after local papers published photos showing the smiling minister embracing her parachute instructor in western France. A radical mosque in Islamabad that models itself on the Taliban published a fatwa against her for posing in an "obscene manner".

GravatarThe bikini has become the latest item to offend the Islamic-oriented authorities in Turkey. After a bungled attempt to outlaw alcohol, municipal officials in Istanbul have set their sights on billboard advertisements of the skimpy swimsuit. The ban, revealed last week despite efforts by the mayor to play down the furore, has triggered outrage among swimsuit manufacturers.

Lambasting the move as more in tune with Iran than a country bent on joining the EU, appalled secularists said it proved that the ruling Justice and Development (AK) party had a hidden Islamist agenda.

GravatarA festival due to be held in Paris this weekend to celebrate American music and culture has been called off after death threats from an anti-US group claiming links to al-Qaida.

Organisers of the Three Days in America festival said the decision to postpone the event - also aimed at demonstrating "Franco-American friendship" - was taken to safeguard the public.

The death threats, along with warnings suggesting that the event itself might be attacked, were made in anonymous telephone calls and an apparently badly written letter containing numerous spelling mistakes.

These accused the festival's organisers of supporting the "American imperialists" and the recently elected rightwing French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, nicknamed "Sarkozy the American" for his pro-US views.

Why they changed it I can't say.


Because:

In 1664, the British conquered the area and renamed it "New York" after the English Duke of York and Albany. The Dutch briefly regained it in 1673, renaming the city "New Orange", before permanently ceding the colony of New Netherland to the British for what is now Surinam in November 1674.


Gravatarhttp://www.dailykos.com/storyonl...5/22/131314/ 343

The AP has played games on this one before, seemingly with the help of someone or someones in the party on the Hill, but according to The New York Times and Rep. Obey, the discussions about what to do on the Iraq supplemental are ongoing and no decisions have been made:


After an evening meeting of top House Democrats, the party canceled a session at which they were to present the elements of a new war spending proposal to the rank and file in anticipation of a vote this week.

"There is no deal," said Representative David R. Obey, the Wisconsin Democrat who is the chairman of the Appropriations Committee and is one of the lead negotiators over the war money.


The leadership is working under a "self-imposed deadline" of this week to resolve the issue, one of those "artificial" timetables. While the Memorial Day recess would likely be more pleasant for them if this were behind them, meeting this deadline should be less of a priority than crafting a responsible, strong response to Bush.

At any rate, no plan has been settled on yet. Watch this space for more information as the day unfolds

GravatarFroomkin on the Immigration Bill

Bush's usual political style -- appealing to partisanship and stoking fear -- isn't going to work on this issue. This time, those are the tools of choice of his opponents. What Bush needs to do is appeal to people's reason and conscience -- and then back up his arguments with detailed and informed explanations of why the various tradeoffs reflected in the final agreement were necessary.

Bush often calls himself the educator-in-chief. But what he calls education has too often consisted of repeating simplistic sound bytes over and over. When he's faced with a tough question, he typically doesn't take it in, mull it, and explain his thinking -- he just goes into his mental database of previously-used talking points and picks one out, whether it's responsive or not.

Some tidbits:

One might excuse Carter's budget deficits by comparing them with those of Ronald Reagan, except in Carter's case the spending was devoted to programs that yielded pathetic returns.

As opposed to the profitable yields on the Strategic Defense Initiative.

By negotiating the soft Strategic Arms Limitations Treaty (SALT) with Moscow, he suggested to the Soviet Union that his administration wasn't serious about protecting American interests. This emboldened Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev to send troops into Afghanistan in 1979. The later Soviet withdrawal led to the chaos that allowed Afghanistan to become a sanctuary for al-Qaeda.

If this were less dishonest, it would still be rank revisionism.
