War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
An example of why this so-called ‘War on Terror’ is such a complete, abysmal failure. Sen. James Webb, Democrat from Virginia, has called for an investigation into the details surrounding an attack on a US outpost in eastern Afghanistan last year, which left nine soldiers dead, and offers past Army lies as an incentive. “The manner…
Seymour Hersh had ’em nailed all along. From the New Yorker online: They want to turn these guys into assassins,†a former high-level intelligence officer told me. “They want to go on rumors — not facts — and go for political effect, and that’s what the Special Forces Command is really afraid of. Rummy is…
Four more US soldiers were killed in Afghanistan on Monday and this morning news of eight suicide bombers striking government compounds in two eastern towns as this near-decade-long war is going from bad to worse to even worser (if there is such a word/situation). Thirty US GIs have already been killed this month, and coupled with 25…
The terror/shame of America. (Illustration found here). Similar to peeling the layers off one rotten-assed onion, the horrors of the last presidential administration continues to strike nausea and shame into the very hearts of any US peoples who have any heart left to smell the shit — in the last few weeks bad odorous news…
“If two cars come up next to you, one with a stranger and one with Dick Cheney, you get in the car with the stranger.” — Wanda Sykes, advice to her children regarding really scary, dangerous people. Nearly 35 years ago a swarmy, ovulating Dick Cheney became the youngest chief of staff in White House history…
 Less than 20 percent of  US peoples even like the guy, but Dick Cheney has nothing else to do but grimace in public, and apparently, will  continue to grimace: “For a while there was this talk out there that we ought to cut these guys some slack and that they shouldn’t be criticized in the early…
All the worries about swine flu, the ecomony or even global warming could be put to rest with this little unsettling  problem: General James Jones said Pakistan’s army had repeatedly told him the stockpile was “under control”, but “this is very much an ongoing topic”. … “If Pakistan doesn’t continue in the direction that it…
“When the President does it, that means it is not illegal.” — Richard M. Nixon, TV interview with David Frost, May 20, 1977. Condi Rice opened her mouth this week and spewed forth Dick Nixon, and in doing so, told the ghost of Ronald Reagon to go flush himself. During an impromtu question-and-answer session at Stanford:…
Interesting view of the worldwide financial meltdown. The global economic crisis is like a Samurai movie, quips Dennis Meadows co-author of the 1970s eco-doom report, ‘Limits to Growth.’ In a Samurai film’s inevitable finale, sword wielding hero and villain clash in a flurry of steel. The two halt and glower at each other before one, always…
Hack into the matrix: The malware is remarkable both for its sweep — in computer jargon, it has not been merely “phishing†for random consumers’ information, but “whaling†for particular important targets — and for its Big Brother-style capacities. It can, for example, turn on the camera and audio-recording functions of an infected computer, enabling…
