When will the warmonger nation of America lay down it's arms and
declare peace?

"...Marc Ambinder reports that John McCain's one press conference
of the week has been abruptly canceled:
The one scheduled McCain press conference of the week has just
been canceled, we are told. No word as to why. Grumble, grumble.
Why? Scheduling. Which is like answering "food" to "what did
you eat for breakfast..."

"...But Ben Smith sees more, pointing out that Obamania is the least
of McCain's worries right now:
Despite the press crowd around Obama, McCain's avail today was the one
with more promise to make news:
He hasn't explained what he meant by juggling the timeline on the surge
and Awakening (though his staff did the best salvage job possible);
whether he meant that Obama was deliberately selling out the country;
whether he shares his campaign's grievance with the press; or what he
thinks of his staff's genocide-themed attack.

And now he's canceled the avail....."

This "welfare state" model is an excellent example of effective national
taxes. Among other things the state provides universal tax-funded
childcare, parental leave, health care, education (including university),
retirement pensions and sick leave. Including value added tax (VAT - kind of
like sales tax), it is possible to pay up to 80%% of your income as taxes.
Contrary to popular belief, Swedes are quite OK with their high taxes. After
all it gives them tons of free and high quality services - what's not to be
happy about!

Sweden is also the home of IKEA - the worlds largest furniture store. IKEA's
founder Ingvar Kampard is famous for being the 7th richest person in the
world (Net worth $31 billion) and driving a 15 year old Volvo station wagon.
It has been claimed that more people read the Ikea catalogue than the
Bible - and that one in ten Europeans have been conceived on an Ikea bed.

with the rising gas prices it has now been seen and reported that auto
accidents have beeb fewer because there are fewer cars on the road.

so, why not increase gun prices? may be we can have safe-living tax on guns.

other example is fewer deaths due to decreasing tobacco consumption made
possbile by higher taxes on tobaco and a whole bunch lawsuits on tobaco
makers. may be gun makers could be sued and guns taxed more.

i can offer more help if you all need it with more suggestions that dr. dyer
also would approve of.

i have made very few calls in these safe towns to find out their secrets. it
takes a little doing to find out hteir secrets. but input indicated they
have low gun ownership denisty.

Left wingers have rewritten the history of Iran in order to reflect
better on what Jimmy Carter did to that country.

First of all Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, better known as the Shah of Iran,
was not a puppet dictator as many have been misled to believe. He was
first crowned prince of Iran about 1929 when his father came to power.
In 1941 the Soviets and British deposed his Nazi sympathetic father and
put him on the throne. The Shah was a valued US ally during World War
II. There's a picture of him sitting down to talk with FDR.

Years later, under internal political pressure the Shah appointed a
parliament and a prime minister, Mossadegh. In 1951 the parliament
elected Mossadegh to the throne, overthrowing the Shah. About a year
later Mossadegh dissolved the parliament to avoid impeachment. This was
no democracy. Mossadegh wasn't elected in a general election, he was
elected by the parliament. And Mossadegh was a communist. The political
party that supported him was communist. And Mossadegh had friendly ties
with the Soviets. This was probably a Soviet back coup (in the middle of
the cold war) that they were trying to conceal they were behind it. In
1953 the US restored the Shah to the thrown.

It was Jimmy Carter's heavy handed meddling in Iran's internal affairs
in the name of human rights that was a primary cause of it's fall in
1979. He should have used incentives. Instead, Carter threatened...

I was watching Lou Dobbs last night, and Lou said that it was "common
logic" that the surge had "worked", pointing to the fact that troop
fatalities had fallen to their lowest level in years.

One little problem though - the surge is TEMPORARY. And the bad guys
know it.

A year ago, experts were predicting exactly this sort of thing would
happen. That violence would drop, but not because the insurgents were
getting beaten, but because they were waiting the surge out. Why
spend resources and men to kill a soldier who's going to be leaving in
six months anyway?

So the real test of the surge is not whether violence drops, but
whether it STAYS down after the surge ends. So it's too early to say
the surge has worked, but it's also too early to say that it has NOT
worked. We'll have to wait a few months after the surge ends to see
what happens.

Many of you have probably seen this already, but for those who have
not, it merits being seen and heard. Listen in awe as war criminal
Dick Cheney explains in a TV interview why invading Iraq would be a
really stupid move for the USA to make:

In this campaign, sorry to to have to inform you schleps, the Chicago
thing is really not on the electorate's minds.

Looking momentarily at things another way ...

For all the talk about the Iraq "surge" being "successful," when
mention is made of a TIMELINE for drawdown or withdrawal of U.S.
combat forces, we hear undertones from McBane and your White House war
criminal and other moral paupers that to withdraw NOW or SOON could
allow the insurgents to return and the so-called Iraqi "government" to
collapse. This is how they reject Obama's recommendations for a post-
surge Iraq.

Under this McBush "reasoning," then, the current 155,000 force has to
remain in place "forever," or, as predicted by Osama before 9/11, the
U.S. must leave IN DEFEAT.

But true victory for U.S. forces -- by any stretch -- can only be
declared after we stop occupying Iraq.

But under the the Bushies' standard of victory, you can't have it at
this time without a concomitant pre-surge force strength. Which
disallows an unoccupied Iraq.

The Fate of the Free World in a Frantic Frenzy?
