Sen. Graham: Military intervention in Syria should be 'on the table'

'If it made sense to protect the Libyan people against Gadhafi, and it did because they were going to get slaughtered if we hadn t sent NATO in when he was on the outskirts of Benghazi, the question for the world [is], have we gotten to that point in Syria,' Graham said.

Syria and the 'popular will'

C4SS Center for a Stateless Society
by David D'Amato

06/20/11

Far from personifying the collective will of the people, the state is merely the unwieldy implement of a power elite, a group of plotters who conspire not behind a curtain, but right out in the open. The political class, the parasitic few who contrive the system of state capitalism, feel no need whatsoever to hide; they cheat and extort the public behind the language of the 'popular will'...

War counsel

Reason Reason
by Jacob Sullum

06/22/11

During the Bush administration, when the Justice Department s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) got into the habit of rationalizing whatever the president wanted to do, Indiana University law professor Dawn Johnsen dreamed of an OLC that was willing to 'say no to the President.' It turns out we have such an OLC now. Unfortunately, as Barack Obama s defense of his unauthorized war in Libya shows, we do not have a president who is willing to take no for an answer...

The myth of precision-guided coercion

Counterpunch
by Franklin C. Spinney

06/22/11

At the end of May the British press was filled with stories headlined 'Gaddafi to be told to stand down or face Apache attack.' As of this writing, the Apaches have attacked, but Gaddafi has not stood down. The Apache threat is a case study in the sterile but financially lucrative marriage of coercive diplomacy to surgical strikes by precision guided weapons. What passes for a war strategy in Libya is now a comic opera starring NATO as an understrength, self-referencing techno bully, who acts as if he is now so fearsome that he does not even need a carrot to go with his stick...

When is a war not a war?

Red State
by Jeff Emanuel

06/22/11

The decision by a know-it-all president with no real world experience to overrule his top advisers isn t surprising (though the fact he made a decision at all is noteworthy). However, given the excerpts provided above, it should be clear that this administration s view of its own position and goals in Libya is schizophrenic to say the least...

Perry Is Peddling Texas Snake Oil

Jim Hightower, Truthout: 'Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and get your ticket to see 'Rick the Wonder Worker!' Texas Gov. Rick Perry is less than revered back home, where he is widely ridiculed as Gov. Good Hair. So he's now on the road with a traveling medicine show, billing himself as the 'Texas Miracle Man.' From New York to New Orleans, he s been wowing the Republican hard core by telling astounding tales of his job-creating prowess in our state, suggesting he can do for America what he s done for Texas. Such GOP sparklies as Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich are hailing the economic wunderkind, and his roadshow spiel has prompted some party stalwarts to tout him for the presidency, hoping he can do for America what he has done for Texas.... Perry-jobs are really 'jobettes,' offering low pay, no benefits and no upward mobility.'

Perry s Prayer-Palooza

Jim Hightower, OtherWords: 'When Texas became a republic in 1836, its constitution banned 'ministers of the gospel' from holding any political office. Our problem these days, however, isn t ministers in office, but politicians posing as ministers, seizing the pulpit to preach and proselytize. To see such Elmer Gantryism in action, look no further than the showboating Texas governor, Rick 'The Pious' Perry.'

'Governor Supercuts' for President?

Jim Hightower, Truthout: 'GOP-land is all a twitter, now that Texas Gov. Rick Perry has announced that he is ready to ascend to the White House. Perry is an exuberant corporate Republican, unabashedly hugging any big business lobbyist bearing a campaign check and a wish list. Although he dresses alluringly for the right-wing extremists, the corporate powers are his true love - and vice versa.'

Perry Reveals Plan for Total US Anarchy

Brad Johnson, ThinkProgress: 'Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) issued the first policy position of his presidential campaign by asking the White House to issue a 'moratorium on regulations across this country'. Perry s 'moratorium on regulations' would mean a literal end to the rules of law in the United States. At least it would also mean that all of President George W. Bush s midnight regulations favoring polluters and industry abuses would also be lifted.'

The Biggest Little Hypocrite in Texas

Robert Scheer, Truthout: 'It is unfathomable that yet another Texas blowhard governor has emerged as a front-runner for the GOP presidential nomination. The persistent appeal of the mythology of Texas as a model for the nation defies the lessons of logic and experience, and yet here we are with Rick Perry, a George W. Bush look-alike, as a prime contender to once again run our nation into the ground.'

Rick Perry, 'hawk internationalist'

Rick Perry s neocon friends

The Nation
by Robert Dreyfuss

08/15/11

No one seriously believes that Republicans will nominate the wild-eyed, certifiable Michele Bachmann for president, and Romney the Robot isn t setting Tea Party hearts aflutter. So it looks like Rick Perry, the Bible-thumping, secessionist hawk - who?s already assembling a team of neoconservative advisers - will get the nod to challenge President Obama in 2012. Were Perry to win, his victory - especially if the GOP, as seems likely, conquers the Senate - will speed the United States down the merry path to oblivion at least a couple of decades before the rise of China and India do anyway...

The Military as a Jobs Program: There Are More Efficient Ways to Stimulate an Economy

Ellen Brown, Truthout: 'The military is the nation s largest and most firmly entrenched entitlement program, one that takes half of every tax dollar. Even if 'national security' is considered our No. 1 priority (a dubious choice when the real unemployment rate is over 16 percent), estimates are that the military budget could be cut in half or more and we would still have the most powerful military machine in the world. Our enemies (if any) are now 'terrorists,' not countries; and what is needed to contain them (if anything) is local policing, not global warfare..... The military is not subject to ordinary market principles, but works on a 'cost-plus' basis, with producers reimbursed for whatever they have spent plus a guaranteed profit.'

Thirty-Two Corporations Spent More on Compensation for Top Executives in 2010 Than They Paid in Income Taxes

Pat Garofalo, ThinkProgress: 'According to a new report called 'S.& P. 500 Executive Pay: Bigger Than ...Whatever You Think It Is,' put together by the independent research firm R. G. Associates, there are currently 32 companies that actually spent more on compensation for their top executives in 2010 than they paid in corporate income taxes: 'Total executive pay increased by 13.9 percent in 2010 among the 483 companies where data was available for the analysis. The total pay for those companies' 2,591 named executives, before taxes, was $14.3 billion ...Warming to his subject, Mr. Ciesielski also determined that 158 companies paid more in cash compensation to their top guys and gals last year than they paid in audit fees to their accounting firms. Thirty-two companies paid their top executives more in 2010 than they paid in cash income taxes.'

Cost of Wars a Rising Issue as Obama Weighs Troop Levels

Helene Cooper, New York Times News Service: 'President Obama will talk about troop numbers in Afghanistan when he makes a prime-time speech from the White House on Wednesday night. But behind his words will be an acute awareness of what $1.3 trillion in spending on two wars in the past decade has meant at home: a ballooning budget deficit and a soaring national debt at a time when the economy is still struggling to get back on its feet. As Mr. Obama begins trying to untangle the country from its military and civilian promises in Afghanistan, his critics and allies alike are drawing a direct line between what is not being spent to bolster the sagging economy in America to what is being spent in Afghanistan - $120 billion this year alone.'
