Pakistan orders army to fire on US troops if they invade Pakistan again. Something about that is a little troubling to me. Can’t quite put my finger on it.
One thing I don’t understand: if the US cannot be allowed to go into Pakistan, how are they going to capture Bin Ladin the week before the election? Don’t the Pakistanis know how important this mission is to John McCain the free world?
I know how this sounds, but I believe my novels Acts of the Apostles/Biodigital/Cheap Complex Devices/The Pains will give you a better visceral understanding of Silicon Valley than reading op-eds about the dangers of AI & "big tech." https://www.amazon.com/John-Sundman/e/B000APLYB4 1/2

She's my kind of Representative. Wish more Democrats had her kind of passion, intelligence, focus and fearlessness.
Tyson bit Holyfield because he knew he was losing. So not sure this is the analogy Trump fans should want to go with. https://twitter.com/realjameswoods/status/1311377199379869696
Hey Joe, if you try to box with Mike Tyson, you’re going to get your ear bitten off. #TrumpIsABrawler
Her soul is as dead as a doornail.
Sen. Susan Collins remains on-brand in her assessment of last night’s Trump-Biden debate:
“I think there was fault on both sides”
The War on Terrorism is a Lie
The war on terrorism is a lie because terrorism is not an enemy, it is a strategy.
Terrorism is a strategy employed by weaker states and non-state actors when fighting an asymmetric war against a more powerful opponent.
No state or non-state actor enters a conventional war against an enemy it has no chance of defeating conventionally.
Since the U.S. has declared that it will maintain military superiority without challenge, it has done everything in its power to do just that. The US defense budget for 2008 is some $700 billion. There is no single state or non-state actor on this planet that can defeat the United States in a conventional war.
Therefore, any single state or non-state actor that finds itself at war with the United States will be forced to fight an asymmetric war. That is, they will be forced to employ terrorism.
Therefore the war on terrorism is a war against anyone at war with the United States. Therefore the war on terrorism is a lie. It is not a war on terrorism at all, but a war to promote and defend US imperialism.
