An unpublished 513-page federal history of the American-led reconstruction of Iraq depicts an effort crippled before the invasion by Pentagon planners who were hostile to the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.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Harry Belafonte, the singer and a friend of Dr. King who owned the papers, withdrew the items for sale. In a brief statement released on Wednesday afternoon, Sotheby?s said the items had been removed from the auction roster ?at the request of Mr. Harry Belafonte.? Sotheby?s gave no reason for the withdrawal, and Mr. Belafonte did not return calls left with his agent. From left, Harry Belafonte, Coretta Scott King and the Rev. Jesse Jackson at funeral services for the civil rights and labor leader Cleveland Robinson in 1995.  The items scheduled for the auction on Thursday included a three-page handwritten outline of one of Dr. King?s most important speeches, ?The Casualties of the War in Vietnam,? delivered in February 1967, and notes for a speech recovered from his suit pocket after he was assassinated in 1968.

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.

Clipmarks | Vietnam ClipsLouisiana elects first Vietnamese-American member of US Congress.clipped by: ratcatcher2 Vietnam-born lawyer wins US pollVoters in the US state of Louisiana have elected the first Vietnamese-American member of Congress.  Anh Joseph Cao has never held public office before Anh Joseph Cao, a Republican, defeated the incumbent Democrat Representative William Jefferson, who faces trial on bribery and money-laundering charges. Lawyer Mr Cao was born in Saigon, now Ho Chi Minh City, and came to the US with his family at the age of eight, after the end of the Vietnam War. The election, delayed by Hurricane Gustav, was one of two in Louisiana. Mr Cao won 50% of the vote in the 2nd congressional district, which includes most of New Orleans, to Mr Jeffersons 47%, state officials said. Analysts say the Republicans ran an aggressive campaign to take the seat from Mr Jefferson, 61, who is accused of soliciting millions of dollars in bribes and using his office to broker business deals in Africa. In a search of his home, FBI agents said they found $90,000 in bribe money in a freezer.  Jefferson Intelligent have better spermclipped by: tabseyclippers remarks: This has just created another "ism". (No, not that word!) People will joke about Republicans sperm, for instance. Someone will invent a word and the fun police will add "ism" and then "they" will protest its existence, until it becomes non-existent. Men of higher intelligence tend to produce better quality sperm, UK research suggests. A team from the Institute of Psychiatry analysed data from former US soldiers who served during the Vietnam war era. They found that those who performed better on intelligence tests tended to have more - and more mobile - sperm. The study, which appears in the journal Intelligence, appears to support the idea that genes underlying intelligence may have other biological effects too. Therefore, if tiny mutations impair intelligence, they might also harm other characteristics, such as sperm quality. Conversely, people with robust genes might be blessed with a biological "fitness factor" making them fit, healthy and smart. Previously, scientists tended to assume that lifestyle factors were more likely to underlie any relationship between intelligence and health. For instance, brighter people may be less likely to smoke, and more likely to take exercise, both of which are known to impact on mental performance.

Clipmarks | Vietnam ClipsObama selects Gen Shinseki for VA Secretaryclipped by: wiccantexanPresident-elect Barack Obama will nominate retired Gen. Eric Shinseki to be secretary of Veterans Affairs, two Democratic sources said Saturday.  Obama was expected to make the formal announcement Sunday -- Pearl Harbor Day -- at a news conference in Chicago. Veterans groups appeared to support the selection. "I am excited. I dont know him personally but this is a huge move," said Paul Rieckhoff, executive director of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. For years, Shinseki, a highly decorated Vietnam veteran, has been the patron saint of Pentagon critics who say the former Army chiefs sage advice was ignored in 2003, resulting in too few U.S. troops being sent to Iraq after the invasion. He said Shinseki would have to make key connections with the veterans community, adding, "This is a big name and it shows that he (Obama) is not going to treat the Veterans Affairs secretary as a low priority." samsungclipped by: denisanaFür die Inhalte dieses Feeds ist alleine der jeweilige Autor/Anbieter verantwortlich.
