Richard Perle's Revisionist History

November 21, 2006 These days there seems to be an effort in Washington to rewrite the history of the war on terror. The finger pointing between lawmakers and pundits has escalated to epic proportions. But this isn't just a curiosity to fill newspaper column inches or television air time. We need to get history right for each and every one of the 3,000 who have died in this war. The revisionism should concern us all. Not only should the public weigh in on this spectacle, it should understand the chief personality behind it and what this means. A man named Richard Perle has declared that President Bush betrayed their counsel for the Iraq war. Making the rounds of the TV talk shows, he ...
Rangel Is Right

Charlie Rangel is angry about the Iraq war, the one that Henry Kissinger has told us we can't win. Thanks, Henry, but most Americans figured that out before you did. Rangel saw combat in Korea. Kissinger has only seen combat on TV. That might have something to do with why Kissinger thinks our troops should stay in Iraq even though we can't win. Kissinger says that if we leave now, all hell will break loose and Iraq will never achieve stability. Never mind that all hell has already broken loose. Never mind that Kissinger said the same thing would happen if we left Vietnam--all hell would break loose and Vietnam would never achieve stability. Vietnam has become so stable that Presidents ...

Ken "Cakewalk" Adelman: A Rat Abandons a Ship of Fools
Post Date: 2006-11-21 22:53:39 by Morgana le Fay

“Embittered Insiders Turn Against Bush,” was the headline of a front-page Washington Post story yesterday that detailed how former Iraq hawks have broken with the Bush Administration over the war. Exhibit A was Ken Adelman, a onetime Reagan Administration official and “onetime member of the Iraq war brain trust,” who has fallen out with Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney, and who told the Post that “the President is ultimately responsible” for the “debacle” in Iraq. Adelman's hypocrisy is stunning. In 2002 it was he who famously predicted that American forces would enjoy “a cakewalk” in Iraq, and during the run-up to the invasion he derided ...
Befuddled President, Befuddled Superpower

Posted: November 21, 2006 "For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?" On reading the Washington Post story by Robin Wright, "Bush Initiates Iraq Policy Review Separate from Baker's Group," about a new internal review of U.S. war policy, St. Paul's words return to mind. Here we are, longer in this war in Mesopotamia than America fought in World War I or World War II against Germany; yet, consider what our commander in chief – a successor to war presidents Lincoln, Wilson and FDR – is even now seeking to discover. "The president," said an anonymous White House official, "has asked the national security ...
Fail Forward (Iran Gets Iraq Out of the News)

For those who don't want to believe the United States is seriously preparing to attack Iran, one favored explanation for the current war chatter is that it's nothing more than a textbook case of saber rattling – or, once the alleged threat to use tactical nuclear weapons is added to the mix, an example of the so-called "madman theory" in action. I've been planning to post something on the madman theory for several days now, but Fred Kaplan at Slate has long since beaten me to the punch. So I'll let him review the origin of the term: In his first few years as president, Richard Nixon tried to force North Vietnam's leaders to the peace table by persuading them that he was a ...

What did Tony Blair say in his interview with David Frost just before he agreed that Iraq has been a disaster? In the excitement over the two words "it has", the previous question and answer have been overlooked. This, from the al-Jazeera website, is what they said: Frost: "In terms of Iraq, prime minister, in the light of the latest figures from the Iraqi health ministry, that the number of Iraqis who have died is between 100,000 and 150,000 and so on, with those scale of figures, if you had known that that was the scale of bloodshed, would you have still gone to war?" Blair: "Well the alternative was leaving Saddam in charge of Iraq, where hundreds of thousands ...

AMERICA IN NO-WIN WAR FOR ISRAEL

Congress and the Senate are in Democratic control, Rumsfeld has resigned, and mainstream media calls it all a referendum against the war. America is fed up. America wants change. Yes, America has spoken. But about what? America hasn’t said no to tax cuts, individual freedom, traditional marriage, or many other aspects of conservatism. America wasn’t saying “no” to limited government and individual freedoms, to the first Amendment or the right to bear arms. America was saying “no” to a Republican party steered by neoconservative Zionism. The dots will never be connected by mainstream media, but the facts are there. In midterm elections, America yelled ...
The Torturous Servility of Washington Think Tanks

The Globalist posted an article of mine today contrasting the courage of Washington vs. New York organizations. Washington vs. New York: Wonks vs. Courage Washington has long had a reputation as being the place for serious political thinkers. By contrast, New York was seen as a place where people go to earn bushels of money. Yet, the reaction of Washington and New York organizations since 9/11 vivifies how these stereotypes are false — if not ludicrous, argues James Bovard, the author of “Attention Deficit Democracy.” Around the world, Washington think tanks have a reputation as the home of the best and brightest. Washington think tanks pride ...

Op-Ed: Why I don't trust the police (Stanford University concerning the Taser incident)

Op-Ed: Why I don't trust the police November 17, 2006 By Jason Kerwin I’m writing in response to a YouTube video of police officers tasering a UCLA student being passed around on campus email lists. As with all such videos, it’s impossible to know all the facts. What I do know is that there is no way you can watch this video without becoming angry and horrified. A student confronted by police for not having his student ID card in the library is grabbed and tasered as he attempts to leave the building. The police repeatedly order him to stand up. He tells them that he can’t. They taser him again. He screams. This goes on several times, as the police appear to drag him down ...

Gonzales blasts surveillance critics By CHASE SQUIRES, Associated Press Writer Sat Nov 18, 3:47 PM ET AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. - Attorney General Alberto Gonzales contended Saturday that some critics of the Bush administration's warrantless surveillance program were defining freedom in a way that poses a "grave threat" to U.S. security. ADVERTISEMENT Gonzales was the second administration official in two days to attack a federal judge's ruling last August that the program was unconstitutional. Vice President Dick Cheney on Friday called the ruling "an indefensible act of judicial overreaching." Gonzales told about 400 cadets from the Air Force Academy's political ...
Gates a Poor Choice

Gates a Poor Choice by Charley Reese by Charley Reese DIGG THIS Robert Gates is a poor choice for secretary of defense, but by now everyone should be accustomed to George W. Bush making poor choices. Gates was so notorious for politicizing intelligence so that it matched the policy decisions of the higher-ups that the first time he was nominated for CIA director, analysts still on active duty testified against his nomination. Politicizing intelligence is the mortal sin of that field of endeavor. It defeats the purpose of gathering intelligence and converts what should be an apolitical source of facts and best judgments into an arm of the government's propaganda machine. It was ...

Who'll Claim the Center? Republicans and Democrats adjust to last week's power shift. Friday, November 17, 2006 12:01 a.m. EST WASHINGTON--A postelection stay in the cool, cloudy capital reveals a sober Republican Party attempting every day in conversations throughout Capitol Hill a rancor-free analysis of why the party lost, and in a way that was so killingly close and yet brutally decisive. There is a general sense the loss was not undeserved--this is an unusual attitude for runners just back from the race--and that it was not so much a vote for something as against something: them. And roiling, rudderless Iraq. And an unpopular president. There is a sense the nation's culture and ...
The Mugging of Murtha: Congressional Democrats betray the antiwar movement

November 17, 2006 The Mugging of Murtha Congressional Democrats betray the antiwar movement by Justin Raimondo They mugged Jack Murtha, and the voters, Thursday morning. As the House Democratic caucus voted to install Rep. Steny Hoyer in the number-two leadership spot, over at the liberal Huffington Post they were running a large picture of Speaker Nancy and Hoyer making nice for the cameras, in a let's-join-hands photo-op veritably oozing with phoniness. The headline cited Pelosi's message: "We Made History Now Let's Make Progress for the American People." It's like reading the front page of Pravda, circa 1936: "Ten-Year Plan Over-Fulfilled!" over a photo of the ...

Most people in history have not been loners. No one says as a child, "I want to grow up to be a hermit." Yet modern industrial society has produced tens of millions of couch potatoes: the ultimate loners. Telephones began the process: two-way communications. Radio accelerated the process: one-way communications. Television secured it. There has been a price paid by each of us for the ease of moving from community into the cocoon of our homes. Do you know the last names of the families two doors down or across the street? When was the last time you got together with each other for dinner? Or even a barbecue? Across the street might as well be across the globe, socially speaking. ...

DEPOPULATION AND THE AMERICAN MUTTS PART 1 November 14, 2006http://NewsWithViews.com I remember several years ago hearing that Gutenberg’s movable type printing press was the world’s greatest invention. It gave mankind widespread literacy, brought Westernized nations to an understanding of human sovereignty, lessened the brutal and dictatorial powers of corrupt church leadership and their personal versions of “The Truth,” and gave objectivity to the common man’s reality. I tend to agree that this invention was perhaps the greatest benefit for all mankind. On that note, I also believe that tell-a-vision – bar none – was the most damaging invention of all ...

True Blue Populists

Senator George Allen of Virginia is understandably shocked and despondent. Just a year ago, a National Review cover story declared that his “down-home persona” made him “quite possibly the next president of the United States.” Instead, his political career seems over. And it wasn’t just macaca, or even the war, that brought him down. Mr. Allen, a reliable defender of the interests of the economic elite, found himself facing an opponent who made a point of talking about the problem of rising inequality. And the tobacco-chewing, football-throwing, tax-cutting, Social Security-privatizing senator was only one of many faux populists defeated by real populists last ...
