Iraq is more than just an election issue!


clipped by: ouyangwulong
clippers remarks: At this point we really should be asking ourselves: what is the real objective of the Bush administration? Is he actually trying to win the war? Or simply trying to keep it going until he is out of office?

Isnt the troop surge perfect evidence of this? The new strategy amounts to nothing more than simply committing more men and material to the problem without a significant re-evaluation of our overall strategy, or its shortcomings.

Unfortunately, the impractical Democrat bill on spending, and their quick retreat from that position also seems to suggest that many Democrats think that an ongoing war in Iraq might be a convenient election issue next year.

I will vote for no candidate who plays politics while peoples lives are on the line.

WASHINGTON: For me, the saddest spot in Washington is the inverted V of the black granite Vietnam wall, jutting up with the names of young men dying in a war that their leaders already knew could not be won. So many died because of ego and deceit - because LBJ and Robert McNamara wanted to save face or because Henry Kissinger wanted to protect Nixons re-election chances.

Now the Bush administration finds itself at that same hour of shame. It knows the surge is not working. Iraq is in a civil war, with a gruesome bonus of terrorists mixed in. April was the worst month this year for the American military, with 104 soldiers killed, and there have been about 90 killed thus far in May. The democracy is not jelling, as Iraqi lawmakers get ready to slouch off for a two-month vacation, leaving our kids to be blown up.

Scientists find bird flu antibody


clipped by: arifsali
Clip Source: news.bbc.co.uk
Antibodies that could protect against bird flu in humans have been isolated by an international team of scientists.
The discovery could lead to treatments that complement flu vaccines in the event of a human epidemic of the virus.
But scientists working in Switzerland, Vietnam and the United States say they have isolated antibodies that they hope could offer protection against several different strains of the virus simultaneously.
Professor Antonio Lanzavecchia, at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine in Switzerland, says the antibodies have already proven effective in the lab and in mice and he is confident that they could be used in humans.
"We in a way exploit the immune response of an individual who has been infected and has survived the infection and of course has made antibodies that neutralise these viruses," he said.

Its hoped human trials of the bird flu antibody could begin soon

An on-the-ground endictment of our Iraq strategey...


clipped by: ouyangwulong
clippers remarks: I dont want to abandon the Iraqi people. But I am a realist, not some day-dreaming jingoist who thinks this is all just one more rosy Rambo movie. The truth is that we have had a critical failure of leadership, and no one is stepping forward to fill that void.

Right now we dont know who were fighting, and we dont know why they are fighting us. Until we can understand these two questions, there is no way we can begin to answer the question of how to eventually end this war. Unfortunately, no presidential candidate is even asking these questions, which to me signifies that they do not have an Iraq strategy and are not interested in developing one. Thats a shame.

The Democrats who compare this war to Vietnam should remember another part of that analogy: Nixon took and held his office on promises to get us out of Vietnam, but with no new ideas about the conflict, he only got us in deeper. This could happen to the Democrats as well if they arent careful.

BAGHDAD: Staff Sergeant David Safstrom does not regret his previous tours in Iraq, not even a difficult second stint when two comrades were killed while trying to capture insurgents.

"In Mosul, in 2003, it felt like we were making the city a better place," he said. "There was no sectarian violence, Saddam was gone, we were tracking down the bad guys. It felt awesome."

But now on his third deployment in Iraq, he is no longer a believer in the mission. The pivotal moment came, he says, this past February when soldiers killed a man setting a roadside bomb. When they searched the bombers body, they found identification showing him to be a sergeant in the Iraqi Army.

"I thought, What are we doing here? Why are we still here? " said Safstrom, a member of Delta Company of the 1st Battalion, 325th Airborne Infantry, 82nd Airborne Division. "Were helping guys that are trying to kill us. We help them in the day. They turn around at night and try to kill us."

Vietnam Pullout


clipped by: mushmaster25
clippers remarks: When you make the choice to go into war, make sure you understand what some of the fallout could include. Terrible mistakes have been made in the past, and we should not just continue to make them. Vietnam has been over for a long time and yet I still see the vets that "broke" over there.

Why the Democrats cant stop the Iraq war


clipped by: gingembre
clippers remarks: To finish the point: "If they are able to meet these benchmarks, the Democrats (and Bush, for that matter) could declare victory. If they dont meet these benchmarks, then the Democrats could claim that we helped the Iraqis enough that they should have been able to meet these guidelines. This would warrant the claim that the Iraqis lack the will to engage in useful nation building and thus the failure is theirs not ours.Bush cannot accept this proposal because Bush knows that the Democrats will claim forever that he and the party that supported him got us into an unwinnable war."

Interesting points made re: US not being accustomed to defeat; too long to clip, go to the source
"
Sen. Aikman once famously said of the war in Vietnam that we should just declare that we have won and leave. Why the hell not?
The lesson of Vietnam was that we shouldnt get into foreign wars in which you can not tell the enemy from the good guys and where the enemy can melt into sanctuaries in the jungle or desert sands or wherever, sanctuaries which they can use for R & R and resupply.
The problem is that Iraq turned out to be not only just like Vietnam in that enemy and friend look alike and that the bad guys were able to melt into the cities and desert just as the Vietnamese melted into the jungles, but was even worse in that there was an unseen potential for serious sectarian violence. This has turned into an unwinnable war. Too bad Bush didnt order our troops to leave after he proclaimed "Mission Accomplished." That way the US could have had a victory.
Democrats are trying to stop the war
the proposal that we set firm benchmarks for the Iraqi government to meet on certain dates.

Tape reveals order to shoot Vietnam protestors


clipped by: arifsali
Clip Source: www.guardian.co.uk
� 37-year-old recording of Kent State killings found
� National Guard always denied order to fire

Listen to the order to shoot given by the Ohio National Guard
� National Guard always denied order to fire
The command, as Alan Canfora heard it on a 37-year-old audio recording recently discovered in a government archive, appeared to leave no room for doubt. "Right here. Get set. Point. Fire." Then came 13 seconds of gunfire. When it ended, four students were dead and nine injured, and the shootings at Kent State University became engraved in Americas collective memory as one of the most painful days of the Vietnam era.
Yesterday, Mr Canfora, who was among the nine students wounded on that day, demanded a new investigation into the shootings at Kent State in Ohio, saying it was time to settle conclusively what led the contingent of National Guard troops to open fire on unarmed student protesters.
Kent State University
Four students were killed and nine injured at Kent State University on May 4 1970.

40 year old bullet removed from Vietnam mans heart


clipped by: vavee

HANOI, VIETNAM -- A Vietnamese soldier who was shot by U.S. troops in 1968 and has lived with a bullet lodged in his heart since then underwent surgery, and the slug was removed, doctors said Monday.

Le Dinh Hung, 60, underwent surgery Friday and is recovering quickly, said Dr. Nguyen Sinh Hien, who spent three hours operating on Hung at Hanoi Heart Hospital.

"It is the strangest case that I have ever seen," Hien said. "Normally a person with a bullet in his heart would die immediately if they didnt have surgery right away."

How to win wars against guerillas


clipped by: oscarrob
clippers remarks: If we were smart, this is how we would prosecute our war in Iraq and Afghanistan with all our troops. This is the only way that a guerrilla war can be won. Guerrilla wars, which is what these are, are won by winning the hearts and minds of the population. Mao proved it, Vietnam proved it, and it is being proved in Afghanistan and Iraq. Why we dont recognize it, except sporadically as a "risky strategy," is beyond me.
Clip Source: online.wsj.com

Its an intimate style of warfare and, for the Americans, a brutal one. They go weeks without showers or decent food. They live every day exposed to enemy fire, and it has cost them dearly. Over the past year, 1-32 has lost 19 men, almost half of the deaths in the entire 5,000-man brigade.

The Americans and their Afghan National Army allies live among the people on the valley floor, while the insurgents -- Taliban, al Qaeda and other fighters of various stripes -- are up in the steep, rocky ridges. When the insurgents attack, they fire down on American soldiers and Afghan civilians alike. "The semiotics of it are great," says Lt. Col. Chris Cavoli, commander of 1-32, a unit of the 10th Mountain Division. "You cant buy press like that. The way the fight is constructed is to deliver one message: Were here to protect you, and the bad guys are here to ruin your lives."

The Wall


clipped by: m4a3223
clippers remarks: This clip is a reminder of some of our young men and women who lost their lives in the Vietnam War. Many names are on The Wall. I lost my cousin in the Vietnam conflict. He was only 19 years old. I was only around 7 when he went away but I remember him to this day. This past fall the Traveling Wall came through my hometown for 4 days. This was the first time I got to "see" my cousin since he was sent to war. I never have seen the real Wall before but I hope I can someday. If you get the chance maybe you can see the Wall or the Traveling Wall if it comes near you. You dont need to know anyone on there, in fact you are lucky if you dont. Its an eerie feeling walking amongst the names of the fallen but its also a reminder to each and everyone of us.

Vietnams Growing Role in Outsourcing


clipped by: vietnam
clippers remarks: Picture in vietnamnet.vn: E-Town, rapidly developed hi-tech center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. HCMC has recently been chosen as 1 of 10 new destinations of outsourcing, follow Business Week.

When Microsofts video game unit began looking to offshore some work in 2002, Vietnam was hardly an obvious choice. But after a fact-finding team returned from an Asia-wide tour including stops in India, China, and South Korea, a small outfit named Glass Egg Digital in Ho Chi Minh City was a top contender. After successfully completing a pilot project designing 3-D racing cars used on the Forza Motorsport game installed in every Xbox console, Glass Eggs relationship with Microsoft (MSFT) has steadily grown.

Homegrown Vietnamese companies are gaining momentum too. The countrys largest outsourcing outfit is a division of Hanoi-based IT company FPT Corp., which just garnered a $36.5 million investment from private equity firm Texas Pacific and Intel Capital.

Further proof of Vietnams potential are the ringing endorsements the country has received from some of ITs biggest names. In March, Intel (INTC) Chairman Craig Barrett visited Vietnam to unveil plans for a $600 million chip testing and assembly plant (see BusinessWeek.com, 3/13/06, "Good Morning, Vietnam"). Intel subsequently bumped up the figure to $1 billion.

������� What is Web 2.0 really? A quick search on any search engines lists around half a billion web sites on this topic! Therefore the topic has become popular though its a hoax. Hoax is like a corporate balloon they make up in the media world and blow it so much it looks like a real thing although its a lie. Like WMD in Iraq! The main reason why web 2.0 does not make sense is that first of all, there was no such thing as web 1.0. That never existed. Even the web is a network of computers that was built on a computer geeks concept called a WAN. Nowadays instead of Wide we can use Worldwide or Global network whichever sounds better than web. But web has been growing at a mind turning speed despite lots of interventions and obstacles. These control freaks range from corporate giants like AOL, Microsoft, etc trying to monopolize it and turn internet users into cash-cows to fascist states like China and Burma that have created a bizarre kind of job by promoting a concept called filtering. Web was once like a snowball crushing anything on its way but now its a black hole that sucks in anything from books and media to US senators calling it A Series of Tubes.

Advice, But Often No Consent

Dec. 6, 2006 - America was mired in a frustrating, seemingly endless war. An election year was approaching, and the president?s own party leaders were terrified that their recent crushing midterm congressional defeat would be repeated in the coming race for the White House. To blunt the war?s unpopularity, a commission was proposed to measure the crisis and give the president political cover for finding a way out.

The time: January 1968. The war: Vietnam. The president: Lyndon Johnson. Half a million Americans were fighting in Asian jungles, and LBJ was considering requests for hundreds of thousands more. Johnson warned against what some people were calling ?cut and run.? He disdained antiwar Democrats?like his nemesis, Sen. Robert Kennedy of New York?for turning ?on their leader and on their country and on their own fighting men.?

Six years later, besieged by the Iran-contra scandal, Reagan appointed a bipartisan group headed by Texas Republican Sen. John Tower to suggest how to revise White House management to exclude the future possibility of unauthorized covert operations. By promptly accepting the Tower Commission?s wise recommendations and admitting his mistakes, Reagan helped to save his presidency.

One reason the Tower findings were so briskly accepted was the expertise of the commission?s staff director, who knew how important it was for the president to take its report seriously. This was a young lawyer named Stephen Hadley, who has gone on to become President Bush?s national-security adviser. We are now about to see whether Hadley will take the same approach now that he is on the inside of the White House.

The formula for the perfect website


clipped by: minhdang
Clip Source: www.xing.com
Great question, Bengt. I agree that perfect is in the eyes of the browser. What if you deliver content on one site in a number of ways for various preferences?

Bob Bly (bly.com) wrote a book called The Online Copywriters Handbook (McGraw Hill, 2002) and included a section on writing copy to "Fit the Buyers Mood and Intent."

Bly defines various browsing styles along with tips for layout. Heres a selection of Blys advice for reaching browsers with different preferences:

"Artist... text in digestible chunks"
"Writer... list(s) of words" fast downloads
"Explorer... plenty of content"
"Seeker... one-click access to what they want"

For others, see Blys book, which is useful.

Of course, there are other "cornerstones of usability" but Blys approach raises another question: If you design for different browser styles in your attempt to please a broader audience what happens to the concept of "perfect"? In other words, if perfect is possible, is it only possible in the narrowest of niches?

Best,

Howell

Phased withdrawal = Phased Death


clipped by: diodisegno
clippers remarks: Why cant we make the right calls?
Beware the Lure of Phased Withdrawal
Nixon tried it in Vietnam, once most agreed the war was lost, and it cost 20,000 U.S. lives
In his rigidity, Bush sounds eerily like President Lyndon Johnson, who could not acknowledge until too late his Vietnam policy was in shambles. But in the aftermath of the midterm elections, the calls for "phased withdrawal" - coming out of Congress, the Pentagon and the leaky Iraq Study Group - evoke errors of the Nixon years.
In the face of these realities, U.S. officials might have opted to cut losses and bring the troops home. Despite an electoral mandate for peace in the 1968 election, Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger embarked on a gradual withdrawal, which took four years and allowed them to continue the attack. While they tarried, another 20,000 Americans were killed and 100,000 wounded, three Asian nations were devastated and some 1 million to 2 million people perished. For all the ink spilled on the subject of Vietnam, our society has never come to terms with this latter phase of the war. How could we allow so many people to die?
There is no single answer. For any nation, defeat is bitter. There was a belligerent commander-in-chief, a national security adviser whose need for power trumped common sense, a covey of bureaucrats too timid to tell us what they knew, an overblown military incapable of renouncing war, a Congress afraid to cut funds, a distractible public easily tricked.
How odd that in our political culture, an official willing to sacrifice lives for a doomed project is deemed more "realistic" than one who objects. George McGovern, former senator and presidential candidate, is rarely asked for advice.
