The legacy we're building in Afghanistan will haunt us for decades. Might well turn out to be the epitaph for our once great American empire, just as it was for the Soviets before us.<br /><br />The focus among the talking heads has already turned to the idea that the dems are "shamelessly" using the shooting for political advantage. As predicted, didn't take the right any time at all to go on the offensive. They're predictable that way.<br /><br />James Howard Kunstler had a good observation today over at <i>Cluster Fuck Nation</i>, about the fact that "ol' weepy" John Boehner was dry as could be when addressing the press after the shooting. I thought that was pretty curious myself. Evidently his weeping is reserved for getting all sentimental about himself and his many accomplishments for the "American people," aka his corporate sponsors and golfing junket buddies. He's as despicably two-faced as they come these days, and that's high praise indeed in a country that produces so many just like him. <br /><br />Matt Taibbi reports that Ohio Tea-Baggers are completely irate with the guy for selling out their interests, so they definitely can't be <i>all</i> bad. If they do nothing but upset the balance of power in the GOP for a while they will have served at least a small useful purpose. If the dems - or another splinter party - were to grow a pair and actually take advantage of such a split, they will have possibly brought us back from the brink of imperialist suicide. I'm not confident in any of those scenarios.NowhereManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12745173041874539711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039161489041752842.post-11067513700463949382011-01-10T09:07:11.519-06:002011-01-10T09:07:11.519-06:00A bit about Loughner's parents leads in the Co...A bit about <a href="http://news.lalate.com/2011/01/09/jared-loughner-parents-knew-he-had-mental-health-issues/" rel="nofollow">Loughner's parents</a> leads in the Columbine direction.Dreddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673418865926403671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039161489041752842.post-38592435209135799102011-01-10T08:50:58.852-06:002011-01-10T08:50:58.852-06:00The US has fired 250,000 bullets for every "i...The US has fired 250,000 bullets for every "insurgent" killed in Afghanistan.<br /><br />That ammo count is higher if one does not include those who really were not "insurgents" but nevertheless were determined to be by those who shot those "insurgents".<br /><br /><a href="http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/world-news/us-forced-to-import-bullets-from-israel-as-troops-use-250000-for-every-rebel-killed-15050027.html" rel="nofollow">Story Here</a>Dreddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673418865926403671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039161489041752842.post-90317906766870763792011-01-10T08:25:11.909-06:002011-01-10T08:25:11.909-06:00I guess we should focus on the reality that violen...I guess we should focus on the reality that violence tends to incite violence, but peace does what?Randyhttp://peakoil.netnoreply@blogger.com
