Clipmarks | Vietnam ClipsZip It Up Soldierclipped by: debbyski![]() The number of vocally anti-war soldiers appears to be growing. "You take an average group of soldiers and ask them, Is the war worth it? and you get close to a majority saying it is not really necessary or viable," says David Cortright, author of Soldiers in Revolt: GI Resistance During the Vietnam War, who has been touring and speaking at bases. "The anti-war sentiments are much more pervasive now in Iraq." As a result, soldiers say, the military is increasingly trying to silence them with formal threats as well as less official intimidation techniques: At their own discretion, commanders can enact "non-judicial punishments," such as imposing a diet of bread and water, enforcing longer work hours, and requiring intensive physical activity like hauling sandbags back and forth or running for hours in full gear.

Meanwhile late Sunday night, a street gang made a second attack upon a chapel at Thai Ha Church with no interference from nearby police. In what one priest called a ?sort of terrorism? against the Catholic faithful, the gang ransacked the building, destroying statues and books while shouting threats against the lives of clergy and religious, Catholic faithful, and the Archbishop of Hanoi. On Sunday morning thousands of Catholics demonstrated in Hanoi, following a protest of more than 5,000 people the previous evening. The Sunday protest was the largest since the Communist takeover in 1954. Für die Inhalte dieses Feeds ist alleine der jeweilige Autor/Anbieter verantwortlich.

We are in shabby company. Clip Source: www.nytimes.com WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Iraqi prisoner had valuable intelligence, U.S. special forces believed, and they desperately wanted it. They demanded that expert American military trainers teach them the same types of abusive interrogation techniques that North Korea and Vietnamese forces once used against U.S. prisoners of war. The trainers resisted, according to testimony prepared for a Senate hearing Thursday; the methods were intended to elicit confessions for propaganda use, rather than gather intelligence. They were overruled and ordered to demonstrate on the prisoner in September 2003, early in the war. The interrogation went ahead before a lead trainer stepped in and stopped it. He and his team were sent home shortly thereafter. The review fits into a broader picture of the governments handling of detainees, which includes FBI and CIA interrogations in secret prisons. Greedy Bankers Power Hungry Govt Officialsclipped by: benzaclippers remarks: So we are to see the boast of Bush bubble burst before it reaches the shores of Africa leave alone victims of HIV/Aids and Malaria. Ahh these rotten politicians ... promises are made to surely break them. Clip Source: news.bbc.co.uk Whos to say that President Bushs generous and ambitious plan for HIV/Aids prevention in Africa or mosquito nets used against malaria - worth $15bn dollars - will survive the inevitable cuts? A poll in this weeks Washington Post indicated that only 9% of those polled believed the economy was sound. Just 14% of Americans think that the country is heading in the right direction, the lowest since the dog days of Vietnam and oil shocks in 1973. Whoever gets the keys to the White House will have his hands tied. It is like saying to a friend: "Go to the Caribbean, have a great vacation. Heres a dollar!" If the package passes, it will increase the budget deficit to $1.5 trillion. It could cost the average American household as much as $10,000. The Iraq war has cost more than $500bn so far. Broadly speaking, Democrats dislike it because it gives a handful of unelected officials a vast amount of money and power.

Showing vivid and unflattering images of the fresh scar that appeared on Senator McCain?s face immediately after his last operation for melanoma skin cancer eight years ago, the commercial ends with a screen headline that reads, ?Why won?t John McCain release his medical records?? (Mr. McCain, 72, did invite a limited group of reporters to inspect more than 1,100 pages of his medical records in May, though he gave them only a three-hour window in which to review the documents.) the same two groups that recently released an advertisement questioning whether Mr. McCain?s time as a prisoner of war in Vietnam adversely affected his ability to lead. Dowd vs. Palin (cont.)clipped by: nchntedclippers remarks: The Lipstick Jungle!! Clip Source: www.nytimes.com After losing its moral superiority abroad with phony evidence for attacking Iraq, the U.S. has now lost its moral superiority in the financial arena. Once more, W. took the ball, carried it off the cliff and went biking. Doctor K prolonged the war in Vietnam to help Nixon get re-elected and then advised W. on Iraq that the only way to beat an insurgency and save face is to stick it out, no matter how many American kids and foreign civilians die. Summoning his old Harvard teaching days, Kissinger surely looked for a common didactic starting point: She has seen Russia. ?Goot. I haff seen it, too.? Kissinger probably explained détente and Metternich to Palin, while she explained the Iditarod and moose carving to him. They talked Russia, which is relevant. And Governor Palin spends so much time ostracizing reporters who might quiz her on NATO or the liquidity crunch that her press strategy is beginning to smack of Putin?s ? but less lethal. "CIA is taking over the churches" ?!clipped by: cakebellyclippers remarks: Case in point: Daniel Ellsberg. Once a seminary student, then an officer in Vietnam, and finally working for the nations highest intelligence organization, he was ordered to compile all the records of our war in Vietnam into a readable history. Ellsberg got them published by The New York Times, instead of keeping them secret. Otherwise known as the Pentagon Papers, these records showed how America deceived its own citizens and fostered a war in that far Southeast Asian country, of which we are still feeling the effects today. President Richard Nixon, to try to discredit Daniel Ellsberg, set up the "plumbers" spies who ransacked Ellsbergs psychiatrist office. Tricky Dick then used these same plumbers to tap the Democratic Headquarters in the Watergate office buildings. Other former CIA agents, like Phillip Agee and John Stockwell, told their stories of intrigue and American meddling in the affairs of other countries. All had a religious background and a penchant for telling the Clip Source: www.rockrivertimes.com I didn?t think much when I met one of the evangelical pastors from an Assembly of God church, and he told me he was a former CIA agent. I wondered how he came by his faith. I thought he might have had to reconcile himself with what he had done for the United States government now that he was a pastor for the Lord. But then I met another, and then another. There seems to be a plethora of pastors who once worked as intelligence officers for the world?s largest spying corporation. Now, I?m not a paranoid person, and I don?t believe in conspiracy theories, but the thought of ex-CIA agents taking over fundamentalist congregations seems too weird. Because I remember when pastors were liberal and anti-war. I remember hearing of Catholic CIA agents who blew the whistle on atrocities committed in Vietnam and Central America. In fact, some of the best-known heroes of the left came from a religious background, entered the CIA and were appalled at what they were ordered to do.

Confronting global poverty and climate change means confronting US power. ?I don?t think the world needs US leadership?, he said. ?They should be more humble.? Whether the US achieves its goals ?is where we, as civil society come in?, Bello said, suggesting that, by making intervention costly for the US, civil society could encourage a ?new US isolationism?.

They can be seen in Thai Ha everyday looking for their students, forcing them to go home, and threatening them with severe punishments including expulsion from the school. Catholic students from Hanoi universities face even more threats. ?We have been repeatedly warned not to go to Thai Ha. We face expulsion and arrest for joining protestors, ? said an architect student, who has requested anonymity for his own safety. ?We just come here to pray. We do nothing wrong.

So in 1995, a vice president of Fannie Mae wrote a letter to Ed Crane, president of the Cato Institute, saying that Fannie Mae intended to give that libertarian, free-market think tank a $100,000 grant. Politics produced Fannie Mae. It was created by the government in 1938 to further the government objective of increased homeownership. It was sold -- semi-privatized, sort of -- for a political purpose: to help President Lyndon Johnson finance the Vietnam War. Fannie Mae has no objection to interventionist government; the regulatory state created and cosseted it. And it has always known which side its bread is buttered on -- on both sides, by taxpayers, through the implicit federal guarantee of Fannie Maes obligations.

"At about 4:30, they destroyed the wall and the other monuments on the site. They are blocking the whole neighbourhood. We cannot go out." "We are fighting for peace and justice," said Father Khai.

NIXON-BUSH-BUSH-NIXON- IMPEACHEMNTclipped by: klippetyclippers remarks: We cant let them get away with what they have done-never Clip Source: mail.google.com Almost 40 years ago, Anthony Russo and I made a decision that we would risk our own freedom in an attempt to bring the truth about the Vietnam War to the American people. The "Pentagon Papers," which we copied and I gave to members of the Senate (and later to the New York Times and to eighteen other papers, in the face of unprecedented injunctions), changed the course of American politics ? and the freedom that the media has to cover it. If Congressional leaders in 1973 had "put impeachment off the table," Nixon would have served out his term -- despite demonstrably criminal behavior-- and he would almost certainly have renewed the bombing of South and North Vietnam through 1976, to no effect other than countless additional deaths. Today, members of Congress have a similar moral challenge ? as they weigh their duty to the Constitution against perceived political risk.

Trying to bomb these people (at great cost in innocent lives) into submission in a guerrilla war is incredibly stupid. The Russians couldnt do it and apparently we didnt learn our lessons well in Vietnam, Jungle/desert comparison aside. Their will to defend their own turf is rooted in the ages while ours is in greed and misguided ideology and theres the rub. Fools. What a waste of lives and resources and perception of good will worldwide. Its NOT a "good" war, if there are any. And changing strategy to more troops is folly of the worst kind but great for the war profiteers. Clip Source: washingtonbureau.typepad.com Earlier today, about 30 miles outside of Kabul, Taliban forces launched an extraordinary attack on a French patrol, killing 10 soldiers and injuring another 21. It lasted for hours and as many as 200 Taliban forces were involved. Clearly, it was well-coordinated. It was the latest in a string of bad news coming out of Afghanistan these days. This summer has been the deadliest for NATO and U.S. troops since 2001. Indeed, more soldiers are dying in Afghanistan than Iraq. Monday?s attack was the deadliest single attack in Afghanistan since 2001. Until Monday, the deadliest attack had been on July 13 when the same amount of Taliban soldiers attacked a U.S. patrol. Nine U.S. troops were killed in that attack. Either reason is troubling. And as the U.S. military debates sending more troops in Afghanistan, it begs the question: Can more troops stop these kind of well-coordinated attacks?
