Pakistan Supports Taliban

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-16821218

Um, old news? We need to break with Pakistan, and support India in finishing the war. Get it done. Pakistan is a totally failed state.

One Night In Rio - Louie Austen

I made this...

NC Rep Larry Pittman

In a letter to the state legistlature:

“We need to make the death penalty a real deterrent again by actually carrying it out. Every appeal that can be made should have to be made at one time, not in a serial manner,” Pittman wrote in the email. “If murderers (and I would include abortionists, rapists, and kidnappers, as well) are actually executed, it will at least have the deterrent effect upon them. For my money, we should go back to public hangings, which would be more of a deterrent to others, as well.”

Nice guy...

US DOD Cut Highlights

Reasonably delays:

• Joint Strike Fighter.
• Replacement SSBN Submarine.

Cuts Army/Marines by 100K personnel, but maintains key middle managers, so they can staff up junior recruits (draft) quickly, if needed.  Probably the smartest part of the entire plan.

Air force gets a good whacking.  Um, considering the Navy and Marine air capabilities, I am not sure why the Air force exists anymore (I suggest a major reorganization)..

The Navy is pretty much untouched, except the delay I mentioned at the top. If anything, the new fast attack subs and cruisers with more missile capabilities, will increase their budget.

Some vague comments on modifications to retirement and healthcare changes, will be met with a mighty backlash. But considering it won't impact anyone for a while, that should subside.  I personally know several military (soon to be) retirees, who will draw a military pension, corporate pension and Social Security, all at the same time.  That needs to be means tested...some of these people are millionaires!

Libya's Window For Success Is Closing

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-16741937

This story (and others I have read) make me sad. After the great achievement in ousting Gaddafi and his minions, the NTC obviously didn't get control (or even cooperation) of the Tribes.

Now the Militia's are ruling thier own turf with mighty fists. If the NTC doesn't move quickly, the country will be ripe to become the next Somalia.

I can only guess at how many African terrorist groups are there speading hate. A total bummer..

Proof The US Middle Class Is Being Fleeced

People are talking about the rich wanting a country of surfs and them. Like things were back in the dark ages. It's hard to say that this is not where we are headed?
