notes on everything

to me

the two gulf war votes can not be sensibly compared 

the flat out dead wrong second war is easy

no basis to vote that one into existence

but the first

was not a vote on the right of iraq to annex little K 

ted et al were for rolling back the iraqi occupation

like the majority of americans

-- prior to old bush drawing his time line in the sand---

teddy siad try negotiations first 

was that non authorizatuion of attack mode

wrong in the way authorizing 

the second war's attack mode was wrong??

i'd say no

no yesor no

on the first war's strike vote

was not something 

one can evaluate in retro spect

the same way 

this occ bog

can be evaluated 

with or without a dead saddam 

with or without 

seized weapons of mass destruction

this yes vote was 

WRONG

from the get go 

where as the road not travelled in 91 might well have led 

to a saddam withdrawal 

in fact i'd bet on it 

if we got a mulligan

file this under

priceless irony:

"the failure of a criminally negligent

 administration

 to carry out a highly challenging rebuilding task 

in the most hostile 

part of the world does not teach us 

everything we need to know

 about the efficacy of military power" 

on the surface 

totally over loaded statements 

like this one

leave me wondering why they got stated 

in the first place

but then i realize

oh

he's saying 

we could-ha won this one

and 

with dutiful smart management

we would-ha 

and furthermore

we should-ha

peter s sharp shoots:

"However,

 what is really on the table?

 The U.S. opens its markets 

to Vietnamese exports 

and U.S. jobs go down the drain.

 In exchange for 

their political assistance, 

U.S. bankers get juicy plums 

restructuring Vietnam’s financial system"

direct hit a midships PS

too bad the uss wall street 

won't sink just because

you hit it dead center

with the unvarnished truth 

-----------------------

side show:

mark:

"this is a political hit piece rather than an attempt at serious analysis"

agreed 

so why post it up ???

as a dart board screen saver ??

----------------------

bi partisan fragmentation 

on trade ???

my guess it 

hardly insures 

even serious debate

internationalists 

(translation:

MNCs and their useful 

panglossian idiots )

nedd not over worry

sherrod brown is an eclair 

and the populist wing 

of the party of the people

is without the muscle 

even to fully flap itself

let alone 

lift the party 

into a flight to the left 

---------------

feng.... join the marines today !!!!

better yet 

just grab a saturday nite specialsome canned corn

and row yer self

over there in a life boat 

----------------

not to be more rude then you are insensitive but....

u're so far off base 

with this global domino bit ...



the jihad is regional

the us interference there 

makes 

all the potential back here 

type trouble 

when and if uncle comes home ....and stays home 

He can easily insure his countries domestic security

you're preaching for empire 2000 

here feng

ie

project extreme freedom

( aka global reach II)

mission:

making the planet safe 

for trans national profiteering

period... end of subject.... full stop

------------------

if the course of events

in an abruptly arriving

post cheney occ iraq

is anyones in the international community

it isn't uncle's sams

announce a date for total pull out

and let some sane folks 

everywhere that ain't america

figure what's best done next 

spencer 

do u share feng's clash of civilizations 

take on this stuff ?????

those calling for more ground forces 

usually plan on using them....

or at best think we'll need em



so why do we need em 

at least 

in your vision of the future 

---------

its me 

david chiang jr here: 

 

and today  

i find this repulsive... 

 

"...Might it be argued  

there is a growing body of evidence 

that the very wealthy Chinese  

concerns

 about the continued expansion 

of their own profits

 has dominated PBoC policy 

as there seems to be  

a great deal of evidence 

that the plight of China's poor 

continues to worsen..." 

course i'd take it all back and apologize too 

if this chap also bashed  

wall street and the mighty mnc  

trans pacific 

profit slurry 

 

as in  

straight up saying something to this effect  

 

'all this aside  

still its ultimately 

wall street and the mnc cabal alone 

that keeps the dollar high vis a vis the yuan ... 

and thus squeezes the american industrial base down  

and down 

till one presumes some babbit type can drown it in a wash basin 

i say this cause  

it is wall street and the mnc cabal 

that could see to it that the dollar  

re aligned with all the major 

east asaian and south asian trading currencies" 

 

just ping panging china's new rich  

is absurd  

 

i humbly submit:

in a policy dialogue like this one

 

don't take on  

the phoney role 

of guardian angel 

to " the other side's " underdog class 

 

the toiling peasants of china will struggle along  

without the flutter of your wings in its ears  

 

take on your own sides over dog class  

that's the road to respect and regard
