Rock, Here's my blog on Iraq that I started in 2008 and that I write 4 stories a week for: http://musingsoniraq.blogspot.com/ Here's me mentioned in the Christian Science Monitor about Iraq http://www.csmonitor.com/World…

Rock, The reason why I posted so much about Iraq was because I was against the war and still think it was a stupid decision. Hence my reaction. I did however support the war in Afghanistan, although now it's crap. I don't have much to say abo…

skel said:Motown Why are you riding so hard for action on Syria? I'm not. If you read my earlier post I said I was indifferent about any attack on Syria. Because Obama doesn't want to tip the scales in the war I'm not sure how much of "mess…

Remember that you need to have maps and ask people for directions all the time because places are numbered by when they were built not in numerical order.

That's an Al Jazeera documentary on the aftermath of the chemical attack in Syria

HarveyCanal said:So running a (not so) covert war means "steering clear" now? Cool, memo received. The CIA has people on the ground in Syria, but as for a covert war? The U.S. has been giving mostly NON-LETHAL aid to the Free Syrian Army, and …

Skel In case you missed it the War on Terror has allowed huge increases in defense spending. There are regular drone strikes, covert ops, etc. all around the world as part of it. You don't need the Syrian war for the U.S. military to use its …

Da Vinylmentalist 1) Oil doesn't explain everything and is not the end all of motivators for the West. Syria has oil too, although it's a relatively small exporter. 2) I don't buy "Iran is going to take over the Middle East" argument …

LaserWolf, As far as I know the U.N. inspectors are not supposed to determine who launched the chemical attack. Their mandate is simply to confirm whether or not chemical weapons were used. As for more evidence German intelligence bel…

Former Iranian Pres. Rafsanjani made two comments that were reported in the Iranian press blaming the Syrian government for attacking its own people with chemical weapons. http://iranpulse.al-monitor.com/index.php/2013/09/2718/two-separate-r…

P.S. - I'm ambivalent about the U.S. striking Syria. Washington wants to send a message but I'm not sure they can do that effectively. That's because they don't want to weaken Assad and open the door to the Islamist rebels gaining any more ground.
-
All I have to say is that American TV and radio are doing a big fail in explaining and especially analyzing Syria. I have not heard one person who knows about the country, being interviewed. It is a sorry ass example of providing information to the …

Two weeks ago I was in Vegas with the family and caught Eddie Griffin in a real small room at the Rio. He was drunk and hilarious. I try to see Paul Mooney every time he's in the Bay. He's never disappointed. The same could not be said about Dave Ch…

Oh shit! I remember this show. There was a lot of over the top skits. Michael Richards used to do this skit about smoking weed for example with this huge joint. I also remember some of the music like Kool & the Gang. This and Night Flight on the…

Twin Peaks was good at first, but then quickly fell apart the second season. To me it just seemed like they were throwing in shit just to be weird and provocative later in the series.

What the hell happened with this movie? Last week there were listings and times for it in the Bay Area and now they're gone???

The current violence is in part a result of actual good law enforcement. The cops rounded up a lot of the gang leaders and threw them in jail. The gangs then splintered into small little factions, which are now shooting shit up. That being said, Chi…
