Tit For Tat: Russian Bombers on OUR Doorstep!!

When I served in our US army, most of the troops under my command used to have a saying: "What goes around, comes around!" In other words, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Last year, Russia temporarily based a pair of Tu-160 bombers at an airbase in Venezuela in a carefully-choreographed display of force regarded as a warning message to the United States. Each of these strategic bombers is capable of carrying 12 cruise missiles that can be fitted with "nuqular" warheads. To make certain that we got their message, a Russian flotilla led by the "nuqular" powered cruiser Peter the Great also joined Venezuelan vessels for manoeuvers in the Caribbean late last year, timed to coincide with a visit to the region by President Dmitry Medvedev. By comparison with "W", President Obama is fully capable of thinking, and evaluating the consequences of this "friendly" Russian gesture. Mr. President, PLEASE use your fine mind to avoid a, as "W" used to say, "NUUQULAR"war!!!!!!!!!!

Say NO to more troops in Afghanistan!!!

All of us, including our new, "virgin" president, are not immune to Sir Isaac Newton's Third Law of Motion, as I found out while serving as Advisory Team Leader in the "Iron Triangle" of Vietnam: "To every action, there is an equal, and opposite reaction" Please click on the picture to enlarge, and read my "important" message.
The more troops we send, to be mutilated, or to die in the military morass that is Afghanistan, the more our enemies are going to insist that the desperate peasants of that poor country sacrifice many more of their sons and daughters to counter our escalation. In the end, both sides will lose, and more of our mutilated soldiers will grace the veterans' hospitals in the United States, while more one-legged Afghanis will suffer in the ramshackel huts of the "enemy".
Mr. President, read your bible before you engage in more useless and dangerous folly, and please fire the advisor who got you into this mess. And, for god's sake, and I mean this literally, try making peace for a "change"!

Patrick Buchanan: It's Pitchfork Time!

President Obama is gearing up for a fight on his budget. You see, his "employee" Tim Geithner is clueless about how to save the banks, and the Obama budget portends disaster for our republic. His budget calls for the radical restructuring of the US economy, a sweeping redistribution of power and wealth to government and Democratic constituencies. He has essentially declared war against the Right! Barack really has no mandate for his declaration of war. Republicans are under NO obligation to render bipartisan support to what is essentially Obama's coup d'etat, but Obama opted for a leftist power grab. Instead of government consuming 21% of our GDP, his budged will spend 28% in 2009 and run a deficit of $1.75 trillion, or 12.7% of GDP. This is four times the largest deficit of George W. Bush, and twice as large a share of the economy as any deficit since World War II. Add that 28% to the 12% spent by the states, counties and cities, and government will consume 40% of the entire economy in 2009. We are not "headed down the road to socialism". WE ARE THERE!!!.

Beating our Swords into Ploughshares!

Let us beat swords into Plowshares! The statue to your left in this posting was created by the Russian Sculptor Yevgeny Victorovich Vuchetich, and it has graced the United Nations garden since 1957. Vuchetich was a Montenegran Serb, born in what is now Dnipropetrovsk, in the Ukraine. Look him up by clicking on the title of this post!

Obama has done something right! We shall soon be discussing a US plan to cancel an antimissile system in Europe if Russia helps prevent Iran from developing long-range weapons.

Russia has always suspected that our 10 interceptor missiles in Poland, and a related radar installation in the Czech Republic, was pointed at Russia's strategic capability.

President Medvedev said Moscow shares US concerns about Iran and nuclear proliferation.

More Slaves than at any time in Human History

According to a United Nations report, the number of people living as slaves is greater than at any other time in "human" history. Several million people have now become the victims of slavery each year. Most of them are forced to become prostitutes, others are forced to perform dangerous low-wage jobs, and the many are used as human organ and tissue donors for illegal operations.

Twenty percent of these victims are children! Russia, and other nations within the former Soviet sphere of influence is not only a supplier of these horrible "live goods", but also a trafficker in their Asian sphere of influence!

Leaders of Afghanistan: "We shall NEVER surrender!"

Remember this old speech by Sir Winston Churchill? Let me paraphrase it for you, so that you might understand how the people of Afghanistan view our occupation: "We shall fight them in the hills and in the valleys, we shall fight them on their landing grounds, we shall never surrender.

"The situation in Afghanistan is deteriorating", said President Obama, as he announced deployment of an additional 17,000 troops. "There is no military solution in Afghanistan" says Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. Said US Commander General David McKiernan yesterday, US and Nato forces are stalemated. The retreat from Central Asia is already underway. Expelled from our K-2 air base in Uzbekistan in 2005, the United States has now been ordered out of the Manas air base in Kyrgystan.

It's Time to cut our losses, Mr. President!! unless you can figure out how to resurrect our dead.
