I forget ? did we win in Vietnam? U.S. Marines leave Iraq after 7 yearsANCHORAGE, Alaska -- The U.S. Marine Corps wrapped up nearly seven years in Iraq Saturday, handing over duties to the U.S. Army. The transfer of power begins a series of withdrawals of U.S. troops in Iraq. During a ceremony, the Marines formally handed over control of the countrys largest province, Sunni-dominated Anbar, to the Army. If all goes as planned, the last remaining Marines will be followed out by thousands of soldiers in the coming months. President Obama has ordered all but 50,000 troops out of Iraq by Aug. 31, 2010. One Anchorage Marine says he was deployed to Iraq twice, and he noticed a change between his first and second trips there. "The first time there, they were an attachment to us -- it felt like we did a lot more the first time," said SSgt. Devon Lireley. "And the second time over, the Iraqis took a lot more control of their own area and we were more there to watch what they did, to help them if they needed assistance."

Clipmarks | Vietnam ClipsThe Supremacy of the Right as democracy diesclipped by: beanzThis past week had the feel of ?game, set, match,? the end to a long string of miscalculations by the American Left and a crowning victory for the cynical American Right ? a triple whammy of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling to unleash corporate campaign spending, Air America?s dissolution, and the Massachusetts Senate election. Especially after the Supreme Court ruling allowing corporations to spend whatever they want to punish some politicans and reward others, it is hard to see a road back for American democracy. The United States is now at the very dark terminus of a four-decades-long journey, In retrospect, one can see key turning points as far back as 1968, the year when the Vietnam War and the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy swallowed the optimism of a generation and divided the Democratic Party Not only did the Supreme Court reverse the electoral judgment of the American people regarding who should be President, President Obama: You really need to listen to Afghans not in Kabulclipped by: nedhamson1clippers remarks: Afghanistan is not Vietnam but the types of mistakes are the same. Not checking and rechecking "intelligence" so you know you are not just being used to settle a private score. Really knowing the culture so you do not accomplish exactly the opposite of your goals. If you dont want a repeat of people clinging to helicopters as the last allied forces leave, you need to listen to stories like these. Ghosts before dawn On Wednesday I flew to Urgun in East Paktika to meet with some people at the US military base in order to try to get the other side of the story about this marauding Afghan commander employed by Special Operations Forces (SOF), who is apparently striking terror into the hearts of the local population down in one of Paktikas southern districts. ?They need to analyse their reports. Do they realize that there could be issues of personal enmity or a land dispute influencing such reports? People who want revenge for whatever reason sometimes just go to Special Forces and tell them lies about people. The ANSF are sometimes corrupt but at least they know who is who here. They should do these searches. The people here have already been disappointed. We want peace, we want reconstruction. But these Americans are just insulting us?.

The brain findings in this deceased Army veteran are similar to the brain findings in the retired contact-sport athletes. Now, we need to look at more brains.?

Even before the federal government nationalizes the entire, $3 trillion-a-year health care industry, its spending was completely out of control: data courtesy of Bianco Research The only single American event in history that even comes close to matching the cost of the credit crisis is World War II: Original Cost: $288 billion, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $3.6 trillion The $4.6165 trillion dollars committed so far is about a trillion dollars ($979 billion dollars) greater than the entire cost of World War II borne by the United States: $3.6 trillion, adjusted for inflation (original cost was $288 billion). Go figure: WWII was a relative bargain. I estimate that by the time we get through 2010, the final bill may scale up to as much as $10 trillion dollars?  Jim Bianco of Bianco Research crunched the inflation adjusted numbers. The bailout has cost more than all of these big budget government expenditures ? combined: ? Marshall Plan: Cost: $12.7 billion, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $115.3 billion ? Louisiana Purchase: Cost: $15 million, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $217 billion ? Race to the Moon: Cost: $36.4 billion, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $237 billion ? S&L Crisis: Cost: $153 billion, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $256 billion ? Korean War: Cost: $54 billion, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $454 billion ? The New Deal: Cost: $32 billion (Est), Inflation Adjusted Cost: $500 billion (Est) ? Invasion of Iraq: Cost: $551b, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $597 billion ? Vietnam War: Cost: $111 billion, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $698 billion ? NASA: Cost: $416.7 billion, Inflation Adjusted Cost: $851.2 billion TOTAL: $3.92 trillion That is $686 billion less than the cost of the credit crisis thus far. I blame Bush. Systemic Changeclipped by: debbyski Dr. King in his Beyond Vietnam speech criticized "the Nietzsches" of the world who saw Love as a weak and cowardly force. Therefore as Dr. King observed in his Beyond Vietnam Speech, in order to move past the American War Machine based on seemingly endless enemies, we need to restructure society into a Just and Compassionate System in which the economy and the political and social structures work for the people. Dr. King warned of a future in which Compassion has been rejected and Hatred and Greed fuel the profit motive. That vision is based on a systemic approach that restructures society based on humane values and human need. Quite simply, Dr. Kings vision is a vision of Love in action. We declare Love and Justice are nice sounding words but have no real place in human systems. Only might will make us right and make us safe. We can demand that societal systems be organized around Compassion and Justice. Für die Inhalte dieses Feeds ist alleine der jeweilige Autor/Anbieter verantwortlich.

Christians Sung A Sinh and Hang A Xa of Trung Phu village were also beaten about the head and back and fined a pig of 16 kilos each so that local authorities could eat, according to the reports. The documents stated that the reason for the mistreatment of the Christians was that they abandoned ?the good and beautiful? traditional Hmong beliefs and practices to follow Protestant Christianity. Following Po?s written recantation, authorities subjected him to further family and clan pressure and ?fines,? as well as rites to satisfy traditional Hmong spirits said to have become upset when he offended them by becoming a Christian.
