Many more Wars are being fought with American Weapons this administration and those before were only too happy to supply. US Costs of Iraq, Afghan Wars Top $900 Billion: ReportWASHINGTON - U.S. military operations, including the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, have cost $904 billion since 2001 and could top $1.7 trillion by 2018, even with big cuts in overseas troop deployments, a report said on Monday. A new study released by the nonpartisan Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, or CSBA, said the Iraq conflicts $687 billion price tag alone now exceeds the cost of every past U.S. war except for World War II, when expenditures are adjusted for inflation. With another $184 billion in spending for Afghanistan included, the two conflicts surpass the cost of the Vietnam War by about 50 percent, the report said. ![[In this March 31, 2008 file photo, an Iraqi family reacts as U.S. Army soldiers from K Troop, Third Squadron, Third Armored Cavalry Regiment detain their relative after a rocket propelled grenade attack on U.S. troops in Mosul, 360 kilometers (225 miles) northwest of Baghdad, Iraq.

CSBA said war cost projections would climb to between $2 trillion and $2.5 trillion, if all costs were covered by borrowing.

This is part of the result of spraying agent orange all over everything, we will pay for many years to come. More than 1,000 species discovered in Mekong: WWF BANGKOK (AFP) ? Scientists have discovered more than 1,000 species in Southeast Asias Greater Mekong region in the past decade, including a spider as big as a dinner plate, the World Wildlife Fund said Monday. A rat thought to have become extinct 11 million years ago and a cyanide-laced, shocking pink millipede were among creatures found in what the group called a "biological treasure trove". The species were all found in the rainforests and wetlands along the Mekong River, which flows through Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and the southern Chinese province of Yunnan. "It doesnt get any better than this," Stuart Chapman, director of WWFs Greater Mekong Programme, was quoted as saying in a statement by the group. Tags: agent orange Shark fins for soup? Unfortunately, if you want them, theyre easy to buyclipped by: KaylinQAll you have to do is visit the China-based Alibaba.com website, enter "shark fins" and youll discover that vendors in most Third World nations and many industrialized nations -- including the United States -- sell them. Salted, unsalted, dried ... If you want em, you can have them shipped by the kilo, as many as you want. I checked on Alibaba this morning and found several pages of companies selling shark fins. On the first page alone there were companies based in the Maldives (three), Singapore (four), Indonesia (two), Bangladesh, Cameroon, Thailand, Vietnam, Ecuador, Spain, United Arab Emirates, and elsewhere. Perhaps the conservation groups, aside from calling for a ban on shark-fin soup, ought to also go after Alibaba and demand that the global-marketplace website stop allowing the sale of shark fins.

So we issued a screaming response. But it was not terrorism; we were not engaged in a campaign to kill and injure people indiscriminately, spreading fear and suffering for political ends. The antiwar movement in all its commitment, all its sacrifice and determination, could not stop the violence unleashed against Vietnam. And therein lies cause for real regret. President-elect Obama and I sat on a board together; we lived in the same diverse and yet close-knit community; we sometimes passed in the bookstore. We didn?t pal around, and I had nothing to do with his positions. I knew him as well as thousands of others did, and like millions of others, I wish I knew him better. Demonization, guilt by association, and the politics of fear did not triumph, not this time. Let?s hope they never will again.

The species were all found in the rainforests and wetlands along the Mekong River, which flows through Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and the southern Chinese province of Yunnan. The WWF report, "First Contact in the Greater Mekong", said that "between 1997 and 2007, at least 1,068 have been officially described by science as being newly discovered species." "We thought discoveries of this scale were confined to the history books." Spider as big as a plate among scores of new species found in Greater Mekongclipped by: reimers The Greater Mekong, which is made up of 600,000 square kilometres of wetlands and rainforest along the Mekong River in Cambodia, Laos, Burma, Thailand, Vietnam and China, is also home to striped rabbits, bright pink millipedes laced with cyanide and a rat that was believed to have become extinct 11 million years ago. A host of new species has been found in the area, which is so full of life that previously unknown animals and plants have been turning up at a rate of two a week for a decade. At least 1,068 new species were identified in the Greater Mekong from 1997 to 2007 along with several thousand tiny invertebrates, the Times reports. Annamite striped rabbits, or Nesolagus timminsi, with black and brown fur, were discovered in Vietnam and Laos in 2000 and are only the second species of striped rabbit to be identified. Among the most bizarre to be discovered was a hot-pink, spiny dragon millipede, Desmoxytes purpurosea..       Conversation With an Alienclipped by: ColoradoRightclippers remarks: With a faint whirring the flying saucer leaped above the roofs, hesitated for a few moments, and then disappeared among the stars, forever. I went back to my vegetarian imitation turkey, suddenly realizing that all the anger and the guilt that had been haunting me all day were gone - replaced with a sense of an accomplished mission. Come to think of it, I just saved a whole alien world from the corruptive American influence! It felt almost as good as when the US Forces withdrew from Vietnam and Somalia, or when we defeated Republicans in the midterm elections. I adjusted the electronic shiatsu massage pad on my couch and turned on CNN. "Who are these Americans you speak of?" "Im glad you asked," I said. "Americans are the most biased, oppressive, exploitive, insensitive, homophobic, racist, sexist, bloodthirsty, greedy, capitalistic, environmentally-unfriendly people who live in the ugliest country on planet Earth. You just landed in it." The alien moved his eyes from the vegetarian imitation turkey, bottles of Evian water and his scoop of Ben & Jerry ice cream to the flat-screen high-definition TV, computer, dishwasher, cordless phone, and a thermostat on the wall next to the bookshelves with collectors editions of Marx, Lenin, Chomsky, and Michael Moore. "For a citizen of such a hideous nation youre doing alright," he said. "Are you some sort of a king or a dictator?" "A king?" I rolled my eyes. "I work on an educational grant from the government." "Oh. So you do work for the government." "I only let the American government pay me because that takes money away from their illegal wars.

An unpublished 513-page federal history of the American-led reconstruction of Iraq depicts an effort crippled before the invasion by Pentagon planners who were hostile to the idea of rebuilding a foreign country, and then molded into a $100 billion failure by bureaucratic turf wars, spiraling violence and ignorance of the basic elements of Iraqi society and infrastructure.

Clipmarks | Vietnam ClipsSame Old Story, Lack of Intellclipped by: jkrabbit WASHINGTON ? Gently admonishing President George W. Bush, the nation?s newly retired chief intelligence analyst on Tuesday suggested that the Iraq war was as much the failure of policymakers as it was the flawed intelligence on which they relied. Thomas Fingar, until this week the deputy director of national intelligence for analysis, declined to directly address the president?s swipe. But he said: ?I learned something a long time ago in this town. There are only two possibilities: policy success and intelligence failure.? In all of this, the most puzzling thing of all is how could anyone simply dismiss all of this? It is a shock to the men and women serving to discover how little their lives were worth. When you look into the eyes of a Vietnam veteran, especially when they are talking about how the veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan are treated compared to how they were treated, you see tears well in their eyes.
