A letter to a friend about Admiral Fallon, Iraq and Iran

Here is a letter that I wrote to a friend about the current situation with Admiral Fallon. I am posting it here, because of what I have written about the rantings of those who want to attack Iran.
Letter:
I just found some criticism on the net. They say that Admiral Fallon has continuously underestimated […]

While They’re Bickering…

Winter Soldier II, the new Millennium’s redux of the event Viet Vets Against the War leader, John Kerry staged in 1971, gets underway in DC today and runs through Sunday.  Like its anti-Vietnam predecessor, it will feature testimony from soldiers who have been on the ground in Iraq as to what’s really going on.  Unlike […]

This could be bad

The commander in the Middle East, Admiral Fallon, head of Centcom, has resigned. He was one of the officers who stood between us and a disastrous war with Iran. It is no secret that there are those Neocons, who are still running around, who desire this war above all else before President […]

And the winner of the war in Iraq is……..

Iran.  Now, there were those of us who knew that this would happen.  It really does not take a genius to figure this out.  George Bush destroys Saddam Hussein, the only force that held Iran in check.  Iraq is a majority Shitte country as is Iran.
George Bush was forced to let the Iraqi’s hold elections […]

Mobetta open space… 1984 in 2008

As a founding blogger of BoB, humbly beg to report I am thoroughly disgusted at the recent narrowing down- and simpling down- of the subject focus here. Hilla should this, Barack should that.  The Dems this, the Dems that.  While my observations and transgressions in such areas are duly noted, the mashup of “engagement” and […]

1984 in 2008 redux… in case you missed it…

 
Is this really Krugman’s “cult of personality” guy? No wonder Team Clinton sez it wasn’t supposed to be a smear. Seven months is a long time for Barack to lead in the backstretch 

1984 in 2008… Hilla plays her killa card, then denies…

Like Angelo told his guy Clay… stick and move. 

Culture and cult of personality… see Habib for details

This Habib… the brand logo on the right in the Wikipedia link says it all.  Obama has survived the night of the long knives, the sharpest from Paulie the K at Times Tower. But, as those dyed-in-the-wool Democrats pollster-wonks, the Zogby brothers, are wont to admit, the more damaging sotto voce suggesting that Barack Hussein is a “closet Muslim” is waiting […]

Potential casualties if we attack Iran.

I am writing this about the possible US casualties if the US attacks Iran. The key to everything is supply, and here, geography is not our friend.
American forces consume a tremendous amount of fuel, food and ammunition, plus a lot of other stuff. This route of supply is essential to the American fighting […]

Neocon sleight of hand alert!

Moves to remove Admiral Fallon from CENTCOM are now becoming clear. I am sure that the Neocons are quite upset that the Admiral helped derail their plans to initiate war with Iran. After reading this, it looks like the next game plan is to discredit the Admiral, replace him with General Petraeus, stop […]
