War War War

Hawks in the media and military establishment are calling for America to address the threat of ISIS after the video beheadings of journalists covering the civil war in Syria.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney told Fox News commentator, "Now, are we going to pull yourself up by our bootstraps and get on with the business of destroying ISIS, or are we simply going to sit back and agonize every time they commit another outrageous act?"

Army general Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff reported at a media conference, "ISIS is an organization that has an apocalyptic, end-of-days strategic vision which will eventually have to be defeated.”

President Obama has responded to the crisis by condoning more drone strikes, which led to the vengeful decapitation of the reporters, and ordering hundreds of soldiers to Iraq to bolster the National Army's resolve against the fanatical invaders from Syria.

The situation on the ground is fluid with various factions probing each other's weaknesses before committing to a coalition designed to oust ISIS from Iraq. Kurds, Shiites, Sunnis, militants, communists, and the national government are bartering for larger stakes in the country without any longtime commitment to the cause of national unity.

Fox News has been fear-mongering about retaliatory attacks on the White House and an ISIS invasion across the Mexican border. People are talking about the radical Muslims as if they are grouping in Nogales to take over Tucson, but Iraq is thousands of miles away from the USA. Mexico already has an armed rebellion on its hands with drug traffickers, who will not allow ISIS interlopers to interfere with their business, and the US military is shot after a long war in Iraq and an endless conflict in Afghanistan.

The last thing America needs at this time is another war, but sadly that will probably be what we get next, because the Pentagon and the military-industrial can fight a war at home, even though they are willing to try as seen in Ferguson, Missouri.

End the war in Afghanistan.

Bring the troops home.

Iraq Break-UP

The World Cup superseded all news over the weekend.

The Civil War in Iraq continued without cessation during the last weeks of Ramadan, the holy fasting month of Islam.

ISIS the Islamic militant force from Syria is looking for a knockout blow against the US-supported Malaki regime. The Kurds to the north have seized two important oilfields and the Sunnis are seeking to ethnically cleanse the Shiites from the center of the country.

In all likelihood the nation of Iraq will splinter into several sections come the autumn.

President Obama has sent in 300 troops. No one in America wants more, although Sen. John McCain has been crowing about losing Iraq with the same intensity of the hawks blaming Eisenhower for the Fall of Chiang Kai-Shek's China.

Iraq has been gone since well before GW Bush appeared on the aircraft carrier to declare MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

US and Western interests are not for peace, but the manipulation of oil prices with a threat to Iraq's three million bbl a day production.

Gas at $5.

Why not?

No one walks anywhere in the suburbs. The trains in the USA are falling apart. An SUV makes fat people look thin.

$6 by Christmas.

With fracking from coast to coast.

It's a beautiful world.

A US Army squad was marching north of Fallujah when they came upon an Iraqi
insurgent, badly injured and unconscious.

On the opposite side of the road was an American soldier in a similar but less serious state.

The soldier was conscious and alert and as first aid was given to both men, the platoon leader asked the injured soldier what had happened.

The soldier reported, "I was moving north along the highway here, and coming south was a heavily armed insurgent. We saw each other and both took cover in the ditches along the road.

I yelled to him that Saddam Hussein was a miserable, lowlife scum bag who got what he deserved and he yelled back that GW Bush is a coke-sniffing, Israeli-loving Jesus freak and that Barack Obama takes it up the ass from his wife.

So I said that Osama Bin Laden dresses and acts like a frigid, mean-spirited lesbian.

He retaliated by yelling, "Oh yeah? Well, so does Hillary Clinton!"

"And, there we were, in the middle of the road, shaking hands, when a bus hit us."

This joke was thanks to Nik Reiter of Tottemham Hotspurs Infamy.

Go you yids.

Colonel James Steele

While running my F1 shopping internet website in Thailand, I decided to adopt an alias. I told the Thai selling Ferrari shirts and McLaren jackets that my name was James. "James Bond," they remarked with a smile. "Not James 007, but James Steele." And like that I became James Steele to hundreds of people in Pattaya. The name stuck with the mother of my son and her two children. Everyone in her village called me "James' and I continued to use the moniker upon my return to the USA in 2009, however the other day the Guardian published an article about Colonel James Steele, the Pentagon's dirty war expert. In 2003 Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld dispatched the retired Green Beret to Iraq. His mission was to set up torture camps to interrogate insurgents with the blessing of General Petreaus, whose recent sex scandal eliminate him from the post of CIA director. His course of action in Iraq was pure evil and he has shamed my pseudonym. James Steele. There are good ones.

Iraq = Texas

The State of Texas has been the most executingest state in the union of the past two decades under the governors GW Bush and Rick Perry. Capital crimes of murder are joined piracy, cattle rustling, treason, desertion, and rape. GW Bush executed 152 condemned prisoners with a single stay of death for serial killer Henry Lee Lucas, who was serving six consecutive life sentences in Florida. His predecessor Rick Perry topped that record over his draconian reign in the Lone Star State with hopes of the inclusion of gay sex into the list of capital crimes. Yesterday GW Bush creation of Democratic Iraq demonstrated its will by hosting eleven executions in a single day bringing the total to 113. Most of the punished were convicted of terrorist acts without any judicial backing for the charges. Like Texas under GW Bush there are no pardons in Iraq.
