[Larvatus Prodeo] US Army leaves Iraq's cities at Larvatus Prodeo: The western people that are still not prepared to unite with right wingers in order to defeat fascists -even after it has been demonstrated that it is the masses of the Iraqi people that are fighting for a) the liberation of their nationalities, b) in the context of the independence of their country as they c) experience and force through the revolution that the people are demanding- are garden variety right-wingers only distinguishable by the cloud of left-ish sounding jargon that they shroud their policy position of not fighting fascists in.

[AlterNet.org] A Wave of Sexual Terrorism In Iraq | World | AlterNet: If that author and like minded people truly cared about women they would have been writing similar articles back when Saddam was systematically raping the women of Iraq by the tens of thousands via numerous institutional rape rooms spread throughout the country rather than now, when rouge US soldiers are accused of rape and even if found guilty do not represent the men of the United States military who are 99.9% great Americans who have been forced to serve in a questionable war.

[Sleepless in Cairo] Obama's Speech in Cairo « Sleepless in Cairo: Although I believe that the Iraqi people are ultimately better off without the tyranny of Saddam Hussein, I also believe that events in Iraq have reminded America of the need to use diplomacy and build international consensus to resolve our problems whenever possible. Indeed, we can recall the words of Thomas Jefferson, who said: “I hope that our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us that the less we use our power the greater it will be.”

[maxkeiser.com] If Iraq was main stream media's failure, is Iran social network ...: Accounts of Iraqi defectors were not always weighed against their strong desire to have Saddam Hussein ousted. Articles based on dire claims about Iraq tended to get prominent display, while follow-up articles that called the original ones into question were sometimes buried.

[Jesus Lives!] The Iran-Iraq War: Unattainable Objectives | Jesus Lives!: Both countries had acceded to the Geneva Protocol of 1925, which prohibits the use of chemical or biological weapons in war, but the capability to exact mass casualties with minimal effort was critical to Iraq’s defensive efforts. Iran made unofficial reports of Iraqi chemical attacks early in the war, but the first official report to the Security Council was not filed until 1983, when Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations reported that Iraqi chemical bombs were dropped during Operation Val Fajr-2.

[Counterterrorism Blog] Counterterrorism Blog: Crossroads in History: The Struggle against ...: This strategy of infiltration by Islamic supremacist political organizations serves several functions: controlling America's definition of the enemy, silencing activists from revealing Islamic supremacism's threat, controlling education on Islamic supremacism, and dividing the American public from gaining a consensus on an approach on Islamic supremacism. While the infiltration by Islamic supremacist politicians manages a chaos strategy to confuse and divide the American government and its public, Islamic supremacist terror organizations pose the constant threat of mass casualty terrorist attacks on the American homeland to keep the American government in line so that they better listen to Islamic supremacist politicians - or else.

[BBC News - Justin Webb's America] BBC - Justin Webb's America: Hillary and US humility: The original Fatwah (declaration of war) issued by Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri in 1996, first published in a London based newspaper called Al Quds Al Arabi, focused on the need to expel the Americans from the "Land of the Two Holy Places". It was soon expanded to include ending Western influence in the Islamic world, countless threats against the Zionists, and the creation of a caliphate governed in accordance with Sharia law.

[SWJ Blog] 8 July SWJ Roundup (SWJ Blog): Metz concludes that the United States has a long-standing, continuing problem “developing sound assumptions when the opponent operates within a different psychological and cultural framework.” He sees a pattern of misjudgments about Saddam and Iraq based on Western cultural and historical bias and a pervasive faith in the superiority of America’s worldview and institutions. This myopia contributed to America being caught off guard by Saddam’s invasion of Kuwait in 1990, then underestimating his longevity, and finally miscalculating the likelihood of a stable and democratic Iraq after he was toppled.

[Flopping Aces] Flopping Aces » Blog Archive » MSM Ignoring The Victory In Iraq: Only by redeploying our troops can we press the Iraqis to reach comprehensive political accommodation and achieve a successful transition to Iraqis’ taking responsibility for the security and stability of their country. Instead of seizing the moment and encouraging Iraqis to step up, the Bush administration and Senator McCain are refusing to embrace this transition ”” despite their previous commitments to respect the will of Iraq’s sovereign government.

[Damian Thompson's blog listings.] Archbishop is helping Muslim men oppress women, say black ...: And I do not think in suggesting it I am being offensive, because if you are honest here, even if you speak of love, you are strident in your opinions, and don’t accept challenges easily and seem to think everything must ultimately accept what, is to you alone, a reasoned articulate Catholic viewpoint .(I have dealt with countless young people who love their parents so much they don’t want to cause ruptions over religious observance etc, and do what is best but secretly hope for some freedom…There is one person I know who eventually had the courage, and I think it was a strange choice but right for them at that time, as a sign of growth, to go to the Cinema on Good Friday with her boyfriend rather than the Stations of the Cross.)As I said I don’t know you or your loved ones, but the image you share of yourself here just made me speculate.

[Small Wars Council] 8 July SWJ Roundup - Small Wars Council: It is not that the war in Iraq is over, exactly, just that the one in Afghanistan sounds like a lot more action. For the Marines, guarding provincial reconstruction teams from the United States Embassy and baby-sitting Awakening .

[Cafe Talk Aggregator] The Constitution President | Desidero's Blog: Since I wasn’t expecting to be ambushed by an overexcited commenter, I thought I would, just in passing, mention the disastrous policy implications that would result from a terrorist attack directly caused by Barack Obama’s actions. Something like that might be just a little bit of a blow to his popularity, and could affect the outcome of a couple minor plans he has, like health care reform, cap and trade, or well just about any of the other plans we elected him for.

[Hot Air » Top Picks] Hot Air » Blog Archive » Taliban buying children for suicide bombings: It may show a desperation on Mehsud’s part, too.  He may have lost too many of his forces to waste fighters on suicide-bomb attacks, and cannot recruit any other way than to kidnap children.  Hopefully, that will prove a very temporary stage until someone puts Mehsud out of the world’s misery.  One Pakistani official says that “there will be no tears for Mehsud in Pakistan when he is killed,” as he almost was last week in an American attack on a Taliban funeral.  Certainly the parents of the region will have reason to celebrate the death of a monster.

[Only a Game] Only a Game: Obama vs McCain: It is important not to get held up in the issue of whether Obama or McCain (or their vice presidential sidekicks) are weasels, or which is the bigger weasel. They will both be weasels, because all politicians must learn to be weasels in order to function in politics, an idea neatly satirised by Matt Stone and Trey Parker in their South Park episode which observed “nearly every election since the beginning of time has been between some douche and some turd.
