I am by no means a political science scholar. Well educated in many disciplines, however, poly sci was something I breezed past when in the registrars office in the days of yore. It is my feeble understanding, that the p\President has the authority to authorize short term military action...
Iran, perceiving threat from West, willing to attack on U.S. soil, U.S. intelligence report finds - The Washington Post
Be afraid. Iran is going to get us.
I am sure Obama will protect us though. Just reelect him and give up some more Liberty and we will be safe.

No joy in posting this, it's pretty rough stuff. But the news is just now breaking and the media is going to go nuts on this.
I guess if anyone in the government would know, it would be him. Not that it'll shut up the idiots that are banging the war drums.
Panetta admits Iran not developing nukes | The Raw Story
It's been pointed out by many of us that there's little difference between most of the gop candidates and Obama and his progressive crowd. Now even the NYT has noticed it and pointed it out. The cult of the Imperial Presidency is alive and well with the republican candidates...
Syrians missing Bush? Planted CIA psy-ops propaganda? Right-wing neocon photo-shopped hit job? More examples of others loving the US when they need our help and then hating the US when they don't?

Just saw this, hadn't seen a thread yet.
World News - 'A new chapter': US officially ends Iraq war
I like this best, "Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and President Jalal Talabani were invited to the ceremony but did not attend.".
At least 274 deceased veterans had their remains desecrated and dumped into landfills with common trash. Another 1700 unidentified met the same fate.
The Air Force tried to hide it, and the Pentagon justified it.
Families were not informed.
Dead Americans are just a statistic to them...
CFR Newt Gingrich should be crowned the King of the Neocons. His entire worldview revolves around this goal of waging war on the rest of the world. He openly called for WW3 in one of his op-ed articles. He is the poster child for the New World Order. This shouldn't surprise us with his long...
Newt Gingrich said that his Cuba policy will be "very aggressive" and he wants to topple its government before 2014. After we are through taking out Iran, Syria, and whoever else, we'll be toppling our neighbors.

This technology driven warfare is getting out of hand!
Human misery caused by all this nonsense is just mind boggling
War! What is it good for? Absolutely Nothing!
Pakistan Border Attack Death Toll Rises - Bloomberg

More smart diplomacy from the current administration?
Leaked UN report reveals torture, lynchings and abuse in post-Gaddafi Libya - Africa - World - The Independent
I was sort of feeling sorry for her up until now. She actually seems like a decent person. Yet her foreign policy is just as scary as the rest.
Instead of the United States being the "Shining City on a Hill", she wants us to be the "Firey Tower of Mordor on a Hill."
Michele Bachmann: US...
Wouldn't it be something if groups of aggressive warlords went on TV and said they were going to kill American citizens? You'd probably call them TERRORISTS right? Well this political circus act is taking a turn for the worse. Multiple Republican candidates have stood before the nation --...
Voters will have to wait to find out Herman Cain's foreign policy until after the election... because nobody, including Herman Cain, knows exactly what he's planning to do. His best answer -- even on simple questions -- is that he will need to surround himself with advisers who will tell him...
Flashback to 1999-2000. Election season.
After 8 years of Bill Clinton's undeclared wars and military interventionism, Governor George W. Bush ran a campaign that promoted a humble foreign policy, bringing the troops home, staying out of other countries business, ending nation-building, no...
So, if the US keeps up its policy of not so covert war against Pakistan, or ratchets things up, American soldiers could well have another enemy at their backs. An enemy that the US has armed and trained. It's past time for the government to pack up their toys and come home. We're certainly not...
