Clipmarks | Vietnam ClipsA Bomber Jacket Doesnt Cover the Bloodclipped by: papananookclippers remarks: The war becomes its own rationale for continuing: to go on because it must go on. A grisly counterpoint to Obamas brief Afghanistan visit is a day in 1966 when another president, in the midst of escalating another war, also took a long ride on Air Force One to laud and boost the troops. In South Vietnam, at Cam Ranh Bay, President Johnson told the American soldiers: "Be sure to come home with that coonskin on the wall." Then, too, thousands of soldiers responded to the presidents exhortations by whooping it up. And then, too, the media coverage was upbeat. In a cover story, Life quoted a corporal who called Johnsons visit the "best morale booster Cam Ranhs ever had." The magazine piece, written by an eminent journalist of the era, Shana Alexander, went on: "Certainly the corporal was right and so was [White House press secretary Bill] Moyers when he later compared the day to a sermon, in that so much of the real meaning is not in what the preacher says but in what hi President Obama has taken a further plunge into the kind of war abyss that consumed predecessors named Johnson, Nixon and Bush.
 There was something candidly macabre about the decision to wear that leather jacket, adorned with an American Eagle and the words "Air Force One." The man in the bomber jacket doesnt press the buttons that fire the missiles and drop the warheads, but he gives the orders that make it all possible. And the presidents words were also eerily familiar: with their cadence and confidence in the efficacy of mass violence, when provided by the Pentagon and meted out by a military so technologically supreme that dissociation can masquerade as ultimate erudition -- so powerful and so sophisticated Vina Hotel Hueclipped by: tylerchaseclippers remarks: Reserve online and get instant confirmation.

Papaya.............Powerful natural "medicine".clipped by: mountainpalmclippers remarks: The study, recently published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, not only showed that papaya has a direct anti-tumor effect on a variety of malignancies, but it also documented for the first time that papaya leaf extract increases the production of key signaling molecules called Th1-type cytokines. That?s important because this regulation of the immune system raises the strong possibility that the use of papaya could help the body?s own immune system to overcome cancers. In addition, it suggests papaya could be helpful in treating or preventing other health problems such as inflammation and autoimmune diseases. (NaturalNews) ? Originally native to southern Mexico and now cultivated in many tropical countries (including Brazil, India, Indonesia, South Africa, Vietnam and Sri Lanka), the papaya plant has been touted by traditional healers for centuries as a source of powerful medicine. Not only is papaya fruit delicious and loaded with vitamins and phytochemicals, but other parts of the plant have been used historically to treat health problems, too. Now University of Florida (UF) researcher Dr. Nam Dang and his colleagues in Japan have announced new evidence that the papaya fights cancer cells. In fact, they discovered that an extract made from dried papaya leaves produced a dramatic anti-cancer effect against a broad range of tumors grown in the laboratory ? including cancers of the cervix, breast, liver, lung and pancreas.

On Sunday, during his first presidential trip to Afghanistan, Obama stood before thousands of American troops to proclaim the sanctity of the war effort. He played the role deftly -- a commander in chief, rallying the troops -- while wearing a bomber jacket.
