“I'm sure it's possible - but I'm also sure it's possible not to remain in the army for very long... This guy just bought himself a one-way ticket to a court martial. If soldiers are free to decide their CiC isn't really their CiC, and so they don't have to fight.... the worlds wars would stop

“Has it occurred to anyone that our guys are just letting Krugman say his stuff and when the GOP finally grasps onto it as the final straw to save them from drowning, and starts spewing it out in their talking points, the noose will close and they'll find they've been given exactly what they asked for.... bank nationalisation and the final end to the Freidmanite policies they've been driving for 30 years?

“Worth remembering too, that Clinton left a budge surplus, and Obama inherited a monumental deficit - and the GOP managed that while still failing to spend any money on public services.
so you have to ask where it went?
and when you have the answer (hint Cheney, Haliburton), you can begin to understand the depth of the crisis.”

Obama's Speech Leaves Hill Dems Happy But Wanting Details
Commented Feb 25, 2009 at 18:35:33 in Politics
“Are these anonymous sources completely mad? Or just tired of being in office? This was quite easily the best speech for decades. It was clear, concise and it spoke to a public desperate for authority, intelligence, understanding, empathy and a sense of clarity. It was 53 minutes of outline, not a line-by-line detail - it was a talk-back to the media meltdown of recent weeks which has been relentlessly pro Republican.
I am trying to imagine any member of the GOP giving anything like this kind of content and context. And then I'm trying to imagine if anyone would be stupid enough to carp about it the day after. That's Limbaugh's job. You guys get a grip and carp about detail when you see it.”

“This is an obscenity, frankly. This guy was from CitiBank. How low can you stoop. I dearly, dearly want Obama to be different, but this and the retention of Bagram air base are rubbing the glitter off pretty fast. I truly don't believe this man has qualities we need, nor that there aren't a thousand other, better qualified individuals. It's an insult and a derogation of his promise to be fair, open and to appoint the best.”

“Other than that we usually call them 'Afghans', you're spot on... they can't all be arrested. this really does need a rethink. the British former politican, Lord 'Paddy' Ashdown, who was instrumental in helping solve the Balkans crisis was articulate this week in pointing out that there needed to be a more rounded approach. I haven't seen any sign that anybody anywhere is listening to him.”

“The republicans learned more than a decade ago that the most important political offices for them to win are the county clerks and state secretaries of state. The jobs, while usually political, have traditionally been held by little old ladies who are more civil servants than politicians. The republicans recognized that these are the people who run the elections. So they found real party hacks to run for those jobs - people with no ethics and a willingness to do anything to help the party win. They can manage the voter registration and deregistration process to their advantage, select technology that lets them control the results, and count the vote as they see fit with limited oversight. Once the republicans had those positions they could make certain they win the other elections. We saw this in 2000, but have not focused enough on getting these people out of office.”
