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?

These ridiculous CEO salaries are one reason why we can’t have affordable medications. And the same holds true for inflated insurance company CEO salaries. Why we can’t have nice things. https://t.co/0infrTAlAz
Saw "Vault" @VaultMovie tonight at @MVFilmSociety. Great mobster/crime/heist movie. Elements of Goodfellas, The Departed, Mamet's Heist. Extremely well written, acted, edited. Afterwards Q & A with producer, director, editor. A fun evening.
Years from now when younger folks ask what you were doing when Trump was in office, I hope you have a good answer.

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.
