A friend of my recently raised the fear point - what happens when some stateless actor up and does a nuke strike on some american friendly space. { I will expand it to include more than just the USofA } And it struck me that this has always been a part of the matrix.

James Bond put a nice white guy face on bloefeld - and hence the prospect that some stateless actor would generate the NBC ( nuclear, biological, chemical ) attack on the US or it's associates. Which, during the cold war, could well lead to MAD - and the planet killing options.

But now, if a stateless actor were to attack, it would be REALLY HARD to sell it as a MAD event.

Yes, one faces the problem that one is not going to just be able to attack THEM, since, well, stateless actors are NOT from There where THEY live.

So while, gosh, yes, this is scary stuff, it really is less of a threat than it had been a mere 20 years ago. So maybe it is time to help deal with how to get the NeoCons past their trauma that they attacked a CIA asset that was trying to solve this class of problem by working on the proliferation problem. What if we were to work on how to prioritize our angst so that we work with the problems we can solve, and leave the rest to FoxNews?

A man who had long been vocal in his opposition to abortion was shot to death Friday morning while staging an anti-abortion protest outside a Michigan high school, authorities said.
...
Prosecutors said the suspect, who is 33, targeted Mr. Pouillon because he disapproved of the victim’s protests in front of children at the school.

“There was some displeasure with how open he was,” said Sara Edwards, the chief assistant prosecutor for Shiawassee County. “He tended to carry big signs with very graphic pictures of fetuses.”
...
The police said the suspect told them that he had been involved in another shooting Friday at a gravel company, Fuoss Gravel, in nearby Owosso Township. The company’s owner, Mike Fuoss, 61, was found dead in his office around 8 a.m.

WingNut Friendly Fire Incident?

Or a problem with Gun Brandishers forgetting about the lines of civil propriety?

Wonder if the Family Values crew, or their ProWarWeenies, or even The Gun Brandishing Cultists will ride to the defense of this poor chaps effort to do that 1st Ammendment Thing with Those Special 2nd Ammendment Rights.

95 killed on Iraq's deadliest day since U.S. handover

One has to wonder which side the AstroTurfers are on? do they support the HORROR of the Obamanite Tyranical Government repressing the freedom of the americans in IranqIStania? And do they support that armed resistence to the HORROR of the Obamanite to come and join the armed struggle against Obamanism?

Or are they all still hiding behind HanoiAnnieCoulter's GirlyMan Skirts!

For those not aware, a part of extracting support from detainees, can include the phase where you show them the weapons of torture, so that they understand what is in play. So now we have Gun-Nut Outside Obama Townhall Linked to GOP 'Stop ObamaCare' Effort: Strapped with a loaded gun, William Kostric carried a message from the GOP's "break Obama" campaign.

I think the real message is clear enough. It is time for americans to work out if they want to leave the government in the hands of mere civilians....

In related news we have The Tragedy of Our 'Disappeared' Veterans: How the justice system has been manipulated to put astonishing numbers of vets with PTSD and other psychiatric injuries behind bars.

Interesting that they too are citing Dr. Shay's book. And interesting that we are living in a world where there is no ongoing medical health insurance for the formerly military to help them deal with the side effects of coming back to the horrors of a civilian america!

Makes one wonder how the game is really being played out there.

Glenn Beck jokes about poisoning Nancy Pelosi, keeps job

Why oh Why do these evil liberals pick on great war heroes like Glenn Beck, and Ben Stein, who are clearly MORE AMERICAN than any girl, so it is of course acceptable for True War Heroes to be allowed to end the horror of LIBERALISM and the NorKoSomaliKenyan onslaught on white christian america!

{ remember when threatening to kill members of the government was considered at least a battle cry to take up arms.... instead of a stand up comedy moment to be ducked... }

Obama Aide Declares End to War on Terrorism: New Approach to Focus on Root Economic and Social Causes

Can there be any doubt that the civilian president is not our friend, and that only by restoring the WarPresident as God Demands, can amercians besafe from the horror of this sort of UnAmericanism in a time of transferring the tax liabilities unto the unborn baby UBU!!!

Win the war on America before the evil liberal media has time to say that the war winning ways of wonder are some massed psychosis!!!

Private Security Companies May Surge Into Afghanistan
ZOMGZ! the socialists in washington want to CRUSH the freedome of entrepreneurship by limiting the free trade in free holy warriors of the marketplace to the same old failed policies of the Socialist Welfare Queens of the Department Of Defense!!!

I mean, what's up with that!

Danger Room with Afghanistan’s Broke, Ammo-Starved Cops
Why Oh Why did the Clinton Administration let the the BlueHelmettedOneWorlders drag american troops into Afghanistan for no apparent reason, and then just leave them there.

Why doesn't anyone teach the afghani's to cut taxes! And deregulate their markets! It worked like a charm in California.

How Constant War Became the American Way of Life
An interesting idea - but complicated by the reality that the DraftDodgerKultur has learned the cool of sounding ProWar, but without the consequences of being obliged to follow their rhetorical posture into the unPleasantZone!

When I think about the current variation, the big win is that we skipped the whole red-hollywood part of the process and FINALLY learned how to shovel the tax payers dollars straight to the needy corporations without all of that messy part about getting scripts written, things green lighted, and then wondering if the mere civilians would do their part to make the whole GloriouslyVictoriousMissionAccomplishedDance, well, the social gala occassion of the season!

And you got to respect that Great Leap Forward!

The future wars of choice for the Defense Department appear to be wars of heavy bombing and light-to-medium occupation. The weapons will be drones in the sky and the soldiers will be, as far as possible,...

There Is No Reason for Us to Be in Afghanistan -- Everyone Knows It, and It Spells Defeat
Thus proving that Chris Hedges must be an atheist, since he has lost Faith in the Majikal Powers Act that makes the WarPresident Special!
{scary scary time: Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the new commander of U.S. and NATO-led troops in Afghanistan, announced recently that coalition forces must make a "cultural shift" in Afghanistan. He said they should move away from their normal combat orientation and toward protecting civilians. smells like KulturKampf, and thus atacking white christian americans for the blue helmeted one worlders! }

Bowing to Veto Threat, Senate Blocks Money for Warplanes
Could this be the start of a democrat party 'catch and release' programme? Or were they intentionally using the support of Kerry, diFi, and barbarBoxker, to SCARE PEOPLE that the F-22 might be some liberal welfare programme for the socialist DOD?

More Importantly will the shift to F-35's STILL protect america from IranqiStanian Flying Saucers in some majikal way that is better than the Zel Miller Laser Death Ray Eyes, that can only come from the WarPresident while holding the Tumultuous Tubor OF TruthierNeff!

Fox News Guest Ralph Peters Suggests Taliban Should Kill U.S. Soldier If He Deserted
Thank GOD Fox News is willing to support the Importance of Privatizing the Department of Defense, since clearly years of Socialist Welfare Statists in the DOD has undermined their Thingus Of Pooh!

Ah yes, remember when advocating kiling american troops was consider a NotGood.

Air Force’s ‘Universal Translator’ Has Everybody Talking
I mean, when it comes time to obliterate a space, do we really want to allow members of a State Department reconstruction team to be able to communicate with Air Force A-10's????

Bernie Sanders: The VA is a Socialized Health Care System, Right Mr. McCain?
Yes, and it is why we must stop radical left winger NationalSocialistMarxianistNannyStateWelfareQueens in the Department Of Defense, from spreading their Red Terror!
