So why didn't Ron Fournier tell us what Jeff Sessions really meant? Or John Kyl? Or Orrin Hatch? Or...
Here's where Obama is wrong.
We should get the fuck out of Afghanistan as well.
Unless we really want to continue to piss away treasure and lives for a generation and accomplish absolutely nothing.

A Berlin brothel is fighting climate change and the recession at the same time by offering a discount to clients who arrive by bicycle. The Maison d'envie brothel in the German capital says it is getting three to five new patrons a day who have been tempted by the discount. Owner Thomas Goetz said: "The recession has hit our industry hard. Obviously we hope that the discount will attract more people. It's good for business, it's good for the environment and it's good for the girls."
This'll work as long as there's not too much uphill pedaling.
Send in cops to hunt down Al Qaeda.
That's what John Kerry said (he got castigated for it).
t's clearly written in the Constitution, that the Congress, and only the Congress, carries the power to declare our nation to be in a state of war.

The Vietnam War, sick and quasi- genocidal as it was, may have prevented a global nuclear war.
It kept the Curtis LeMay types bogged down in Indochina, not itching their nuke trigger fingers.
Perhaps the Afghan War is the best we can hope for until the US militaristic urge finally subsides or is choked from lack of funds.
Teh GREAT and MORAL war is not?
So why didn't Ron Fournier tell us what Jeff Sessions really meant? Or John Kyl? Or Orrin Hatch? Or...
Perhaps he's leaving that to Lindsey Graham, who told us no one can know what's in another's heart, then proceeded to tell us that playing to his base was really in Obama's heart when he voted against Alito.

I'm as frustrated about it as you are.
The Congress, without an amendment, doesn't have the authority to delegate unilateral war declaration powers onto the Executive.
Whether by some "emergency statute" or otherwise.
It's clearly unconstitutional to allow the President to determine where and when we unleash the beast.

From Sen. Whitehouse's Opening Statement On Sotomayor Nomination :
"If your wide experience brings life to a sense of the difficult circumstances faced by the less powerful among us: the woman being shunted around the bank from voicemail to voicemail as she tries to save her home from foreclosure; the family struggling to get by in the neighborhood the police only come to with raid jackets on; the couple up late at the kitchen table after the kids are in bed sweating out how to make ends meet that month; the man who believes a little differently, or looks a little different, or thinks things should be different; the voice no one listens to when the elected branches are deafened by monied interests;if you have empathy for those people in this job, you are doing nothing wrong. It is far better to listen for those unheard voices, and to seek to understand their points of view, than to ignore them in favor of a particular ideology, or corporation, or just the status quo."

production of the Lockheed Martin Corp.’s F-22 fighter jets.

Kyl says the Supreme Court has overturned 80% of Judge Sotomayor's opinions.
I am sure he meant decisions. Judges never allow their opinions to rule.
The situation in Afghanistan will continue to slowly deteriorate. A few weeks from now, the generals there will say we need a few more troops and we'll increase the strength by 10,000 or so. And then they'll ask for more, and up the troop count will go again. All the while, of course, more and more casualties will be reported.
It will be like watching Vietnam — or Iraq — unfold all over again. And eventually some people will say "we told you so," and others will deny it and on and on it will go. The word "quagmire" will come to mind.
Ya gotta love the Austin Lounge Lizards...

The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a fifth-generation, single-seat, single-engine, stealth-capable military strike fighter, a multirole aircraft that can perform close air support, tactical bombing, and air defense missions.
AND
The Lockheed Martin/Boeing F-22 Raptor is a fifth-generation fighter aircraft that uses stealth technology. It was designed primarily as an air superiority fighter, but has additional capabilities that include ground attack, electronic warfare, and signals intelligence roles.

Afghanistan?
Sometimes a government has to admit it made a huge fucking mistake and withdraw.
They never do, however.
What are we doing there again?
Getting blown up, apparently.
One of the great stories about the F-22 involved its ability, or lack of ability, to carry existing weapons. Seems some of the smart bombs and missiles the Raptor was supposed to carry wouldn't fit it its small bomb bay or on its few hard-points. So new weapons systems had to be designed.
See how that works?
Defense Secretary Robert Gates “and the military leadership have determined that we do not need these planes” Obama wrote in the letter, Levin said in the Senate today.
“That is why I will veto any bill that supports acquisition of
F-22s beyond the 187 already funded by Congress.”
.
F22 is $350 million a jet and can't fly in the rain and can only fly a little over an hour until it needs maitenance.
The F22 has not flown in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Absolutely. Think I posted the other day that for every hour the F22 spends in the air, it spends 34 hours in maintenance. Honestly.

The word "quagmire" will come to mind.
Glenn
It's a good word, but sincerely hope your analysis is wrong - I'd hope that Obama says no to McChrystal beyond what's there now and if the General says he can't do it (whatever it is) then he'd use that as an excuse to get out and let Afghan govern themselves withe some agreement on co-operating on hunting down the terrorizers
but I have no idea
F22 is $350 million a jet
$350 million times 187 would help with single-payer health care
It will be like watching Vietnam — or Iraq — unfold all over again. And eventually some people will say "we told you so," and others will deny it and on and on it will go. The word "quagmire" will come to mind.

The United States' top fighter jet, the Lockheed Martin F-22, has recently required more than 30 hours of maintenance for every hour in the skies, pushing its hourly cost of flying to more than $44,000, a far higher figure than for the warplane it replaces, confidential Pentagon test results show. *

Back in the days when the Russians were getting their butts kicked in Afghanistan, "60 Minutes" did a piece about a village where everybody made their own rifles. At the time the correspondent noted that Ghengis Khan hadn't been able to conquer the war lords in Afghanistan and he added that the Russians were in the process of learning a lesson that history should have taught them.
Now the torch has been passed and the lesson remains unlearned.

The Washington Post and New York Times both look at how the White House is under renewed pressure to investigate controversial Bush-era programs.
The WP says that administration officials "have begun to concede that they cannot leave the fight against terrorism unexhumed." Following Saturday's NYT story that the Bush administration blocked investigations into the mass killing of prisoners in Afghanistan by local forces, Obama ordered officials to look into the matter.
On top of that, Attorney General Eric Holder appears to be leaning toward naming a criminal prosecutor to examine whether detainees were tortured.
And, of course, there's the secret CIA program and the recent revelations that there was more to the domestic eavesdropping programs. All in all, "the intelligence apparatus is under siege" on "four fronts," says the NYT.
Many senior officials in the White House were eager to avoid these investigations into the past that, they felt, would only distract from their priorities. But it seems officials are starting to realize they might have little choice in the matter. As the WP notes, federal law-enforcement officials "are obliged to investigate possible violations of anti-torture statutes and other criminal laws," so it's difficult for the administration to pretend all this information doesn't exist.

Kyl says the Supreme Court has overturned 80% of Judge Sotomayor's opinions.
Sounds like a good reason to put on on the bench to me.
Hecate, Runnymeade Conspirator
The SCOTUS heard 5 rulings out of nearly 1,200 rulings by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit that raised constitutional issues during Judge Sotomayor’s years on the bench.
The SCOTUS overturned 4 of the 6. That's how the wings nuts get their 80% number. (Wingnut Math)
But really is 4 out of 1200 rulings.
4 out of 6 of the cases the Supreme Court has reviewed is not a particularly high number. In any given term, the Supreme Court normally reverses a higher percentage of the cases it hears. During its 2006-2007 term, for instance, the Court reversed or vacated 68 percent of the cases before it. The rate was 73.6 percent the previous term.
In two of the three Sotomayor reversals, at least some of the more liberal justices dissented, agreeing with her holding.
One was a 5-4 decision in 2001 in Correctional Services Corporation v. Malesko, which involved an inmate who sought to sue a private contractor operating a halfway house on behalf of the Bureau of Prisons over injuries he sustained. Sotomayor said he could, but a majority of the justices disagreed.In another case, Sotomayor wrote that under the Clean Water Act, the Environmental Protection Agency could not use a cost-benefit analysis to determine the best technology available for drawing cooling water into power plants with minimal impact on aquatic life. By a vote of 6-3 this year, the Supreme Court ruled otherwise in Entergy v. Riverkeeper. The third reversal, in 2005, was a unanimous 8-0 decision in the case Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc. v. Dabit.Sotomayor had written that a class action securities suit brought in state court by a broker/stockholder was not preempted by the 1998 Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act. But the high court's opinion said it "would be odd, to say the least" if the law contained the exception that Sotomayor said it did.

Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar on Friday praised President Obama’s announcement that he intends to nominate Jonathan Jarvis to be director of the National Park Service. Jarvis, a 30-year veteran of the NPS, currently is the regional director for Pacific West Region.
“President Obama has made an outstanding choice for director of the National Park Service,” Salazar said. “There is no substitute for experience, and Jon Jarvis has three decades of hands-on experience in our parks that will be invaluable as we seek to reinvigorate and improve our National Park System in time for its 100th anniversary in 2016.”
As regional director for Pacific West Region, Jarvis is currently responsible for the 54 units of the National Park System in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California, Nevada, Hawaii and the Pacific Islands of Guam, Saipan and American Samoa. He oversees 3,000 employees with a $350 million annual budget.
Prior to becoming regional director in 2002, Jarvis spent three years as the superintendent of Mount Rainier National Park in Ashford, Washington, where he managed the 235,000 acre National Park with a staff of 300 and a $14 million budget.

7 U.S. Soldiers and Linguist Wounded in Iraq
BAGHDAD — Seven American soldiers and a linguist traveling with them were wounded in a bomb blast as they walked out of a meeting with local government officials in northern Iraq, a United States military spokesman said Monday.
The attack occurred Sunday afternoon in Al Sharqat, a town about 200 miles north of Baghdad, but was not reported by the United States military until the following day.
The soldiers had traveled to the town, in generally peaceful Salahuddin Province, to discuss possible United States military participation in several projects, including renovating schools and medical centers, said Lt. Sean P. Riordan, a military spokesman in Baghdad. They were transported to a nearby base for treatment, but the extent of their injuries was not immediately known.
American combat troops pulled out of most Iraq cities and towns on June 30, but some remain as trainers and advisers. The military did not comment on what capacity the troops in Al Sharqat were working in.

Kenneth Stampp died early yesterday morning, two weeks shy of his 97th birthday.
Stampp was the author of several major books, most importantly "The
Peculiar Insitution: Slavery in the Antebellum South," an unblinking
account of southern slave society that was among the first to take slave
resistance seriously. He also wrote what remains the single best study
of the secession crisis, "And the War Came," a major revisionist account
of Reconstruction, and numerous important essays. A forceful stylist
and vigorously argumentative, Stampp was as formidable on the page as he
was in the classroom.
Stampp spent most of his teaching career at Berkeley, where he trained a
large cohort of graduate students who went on to write important books
of their on the history of race, slavery, and the civil war era.

So Eschaton's own cub investigative reporter Agent Orange got a little poop on this guy John Duesler running the Valley Swim Club outside of Philly. This is the place where they apparently didn't allow a group of black kids in the pool.
I'm at lunch with some students today and the subject comes up. One student says or you mean "Dr. Doucheler, that's what we call him." Apparently his real passion is organizing disc "frisbee" golf events in Philly. The student says he texts them and signs his texts "Dr. John G Duesler Jr". So I do a little banging around the intertubes and he appears to be founder of something called 'Bioteca'. I can find no further info on it. He obsessively refers to himself as "Dr John G Duesler Jr" from Drexel Univ and Wilkes College. PhD of what I don't know.
One funny thing, at one point talking about the swim club he claims one of the specialties taught there is "white water".

GOP Senator To Sotomayor: You'll Be Confirmed Absent A "Meltdown"
Gee. I hope someone has Lindsey's smelling salts and fainting couch. Maybe have a Mint Julep at the ready.
What kind of shit is that to say? That's why Republicans keeping getting kicked in the nuts every November.
I don't believe we can win a war in Afghanistan. No western nation has ever won a war in Afghanistan, as far as I know.
Can we help police Afghanistan? Does Afghanistan want our help policing the place?
I hate the idea of QuentinCompson's kid, or anyone's kid, getting killed for what may prove a useless exercise. (Come to that, I hate the idea of anyone's kid being killed for any reason at all, or for no reason.)
On the other hand, the Taliban are just awful, and have at least once provided a safe haven for Osama and his murderous schemes.
I want to believe that there is a way to solve this problem that does not involve people getting killed. But in my opinion, there is a genuine problem here, unlike what was the situation in Iraq before we invaded.

Given your previous helloscam note, I understand why you want to do this, but think for a minute. It's pretty obvious that Siegelman is the victim of overzealous, politically-inspired prosecution (notwithstanding that I fully believe he was guilty as sin--but the legal system and guilt are two different things). He will probably get off, maybe go completely free.
Why give the GOP something to crow about by switching prosecutors? Let the original prosecutors lose their case and let Siegelman sue them for malicious prosecution.
The Dems don't have to get involved in this.
I think they should vote on Sotomayor's nomination immediately, before the Pukes have a chance to shit all over the process.

Right to life, right life, right to life suckers.....
Buchanan: Todd Palin should drown Levi Johnston.
Earlier today, conservative pundit Pat Buchanan suggested that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s husband should murder his daughter’s ex-fiance, Levi Johnston, for saying Palin’s decision to resign came down to “money.” While appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Buchanan said:
BUCHANAN: “Well, first, with regard to Levi, I think First Dude up there in Alaska, Todd Palin, ought to take Levi down to the creek and hold his head underwater until the thrashing stops.“
Time’s Mark Halperin then quipped: “That’s a reality show, right there.” The macabre humor was dark enough that MSNBC felt the need to follow-up with a disclaimer from Mika Brzezinski: “Just to clarify Pat’s incredible statement about Levi: Morning Joe does not advocate any violence against Levi Johnston, nor anyone else related to the Palin story.”
rootless - e
Thom Hartmann was just going on about how the Obama White House cut some sort of deal with the Bushies where they got to have their people retain control over the Siegelman case.
“Just to clarify Pat’s incredible statement about Levi: Morning Joe does not advocate any violence against Levi Johnston, nor anyone else related to the Palin story.”
so Pat will never on MSNBC air again huh?
Right to life, right life, right to life suckers.....
Buchanan: Todd Palin should drown Levi Johnston.
Thank heaven that asshole never had any kids.
“Just to clarify Pat’s incredible statement about Levi: Morning Joe does not advocate any violence against Levi Johnston, nor anyone else related to the Palin story.”
Morning Joe says interns are another matter altogether.
Sessions is an imbecile, but not in the league of Inhofe, or George Allen from Va was.

I think First Dude up there in Alaska, Todd Palin, ought to take Levi down to the creek and hold his head underwater until the thrashing stops.“
Personally, I'd like to Levi kick First Dude's ass.
Coleman was pretty dumb too.

They shouldn't rip him a new one; they should ignore him. His appearance is a silly bit of theater, and it won't add anything substantive to the hearing. Joe the Plumber redux.
Supreme Court confirmations are important, and they should be serious. -Every- nominee should have to answer questions about his/her experiences and, assuming they're judges, about their opinions and judicial philosophies. It's a pretty big deal.
Wasting that opportunity on tawdry political Joe the Plumber theater is practically a dereliction of duty.

Pat Buchanan dreams at night of Todd and Levi wrestling sturgeon in the nude.
From C&L
When Laura Ingraham filled in for Bill O'Reilly on Friday's night's O'Reilly Factor, she ran a segment on abortion that was ostensibly an "investigation" into Planned Parenthood. It featured a logo that placed a red set of crosshairs -- the kind you find on a rifle scope -- over PP's logo.
I'd just like to ask one question:
What the hell were these people thinking?
Now, presumably, Ingraham herself did not order up this graphic, or if she did, it at least went through the hands of the show's regular producers and overseers. These are the same people who just went through a well-deserved round of approbation for their role -- in the form of those 28 references to Dr. George Tiller as a "baby killer" -- in the murder of Tiller by an anti-abortion fanatic.
And now they're running a graphic suggestive of what Ann Coulter calls "a procedure with a rifle" -- something, in fact, that Coulter has actually encouraged on The O'Reilly Factor.
Really, I'm serious. What are these people thinking?

Also, America will succeed where no other invading country has for centuries.
So we're gonna successfully conduct a war on drugs in Afghanistan, after the hugely successful war on drugs we enjoy here at home.
You got me. They haven't cleared the Bush deadwood out of the DoJ yet, though. And, they're letting the same clowns who railroaded Siegelman continue to adjudicate the case.

Last week I got a list of possible bands for the huge Daily Kos bash at Netroots Nation Pittsburgh, really bringing home how close we are to the big event.

Followup on nomination of new head of National Park Service. apparently the same day a new chief for US Geological Service was also named. Let's look at the qualifications of this nominee as well as the previous holder of the job:
Far more than a lab researcher and administrator, [Marcia] McNutt has been to sea on 14 oceanography voyages and led four of them. She has researched island volcanoes in the Pacific, studied the uplift of the Himalayan plateau, took on a rigorous Navy SEALS training course in underwater explosives, and has published more than 90 scientific journal reports on her research.
She will succeed USGS director Mark Meyers, a former oil company geologist in Alaska appointed by George W. Bush and known for limiting public release of information by Survey scientists who work in controversial fields like climate change.

WHAT SHE SAID: "If I introduced every one that's family," Sotomayor said with a strong voice and a smile, "we'd be here all morning."
WHAT SHE MEANT: I may not look like all of you but, trust me, I'm no different than every other family-loving American. I'm surrounded by people who love me.
WHAT HE SAID: "Judge Sotomayor's journey to this hearing room," said Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., "is truly an American story."
WHAT HE MEANT: If you love America, you'll love Sotomayer -- or at least vote for her.
WHAT HE SAID: " ... a struggle ripe with anti-Semitism .... likewise, the first Catholic nominee ...," Leahy said, underscoring that Sotomayor, like Catholic and Jewish nominees before her, would be a barrier-breaking justice.
WHAT HE MEANT: Criticize Sotomayor at your own risk. You don't want to sound racist.

"After years of scandals and political defeats, it appears Ralph Reed is going to try for a political comeback. Reed is creating a new advocacy group called the Faith and Freedom Coalition, reports the Atlanta Journal Constitution. The latest venture, Reed says, will focus on “finding and training the next generation of conservative leaders, volunteers and activists” and serve as a Christian Coalition 2.0 for conservative voters of faith:
“This is not going to be your daddy’s Christian Coalition,” Reed said in an interview to describe his new venture, the Faith and Freedom Coalition. “It has to be younger, hipper, less strident, more inclusive and it has to harness the 21st century that will enable us to win in the future.”
“Even though I’ve been doing other things, this is kind of like Steve Jobs returning to Apple,” Reed said.

The 2009 State Farm Home Run Derby field was finalized on Sunday, when American League home run leader Carlos Pena was named to replace the Red Sox's Dustin Pedroia on the AL roster for Tuesday's All-Star Game and as the fourth AL entrant in the Derby.
The Derby, part of Gatorade All-Star Workout Day, will be broadcast live on ESPN and MLB.com beginning at 8 p.m. ET tonight.
MLB.com's coverage will include a live feed of the Derby, a Twitter feed and real-time results.
Pena joins Tigers third baseman Brandon Inge, Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz and Twins catcher Joe Mauer from the Junior Circuit, and the National League features big league homer leader, hometown hero and All-Star centerpiece Albert Pujols of the Cardinals, plus Adrian Gonzalez of the Padres, Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder and Ryan Howard of the Phillies.

"In an interview with Al Jazeera's Fault Lines program, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich outlined his U.S. policy towards Iran. Gingrich said the U.S. should "sabotage" Iran's oil and gas infrastructure as part of an effort to topple the Iranian government.
Al Jazeera's Avi Lewis told Gingrich, "In the past, you've called for the bombing of Iran's oil refineries." Gingrich clarified, "I called for sabotage, not bombing.... Fundamental difference." Gingrich explained that the U.S. should use "covert operations" against Iran's refineries because they "have only one refinery that produces gasoline in the entire country.""
It has to be younger, hipper, less strident, more inclusive and it has to harness the 21st century that will enable us to win in the future.”
