{{{{Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) top advisers, doing damage control after the candidate’s debate performance Tuesday, told supporters on a conference call Wednesday that the campaign needed more money to fight back.}}}}

More money?

{{{{Those doubts were heightened late last month in a poll of 9,718 likely general election voters across the country by independent pollster John Zogby, who found 50 percent of them would never vote for Mrs. Clinton under any circumstances.}}}}

{{{{Wednesday 10/31: Taliban masses near Kandahar- Several hundred Taliban fighters have moved into a strategic area just outside Kandahar, southern Afghanistan’s largest city, in recent days and clashed with Afghan and NATO forces, according to Canadian and Afghan officials. The fighting marked the first time large numbers of Taliban fighters have been able to enter the area just north of the city since 2001.-Urinal}}}}

Sound the trumpets, the lions of the Blessed Taliban are massed for their final glorious assault on the weak and decadent infidel Americans, may god be willing!!

GoldieDummie,

Once again we have to remind you that the “Reverend” Phelps is a DEMOCRAT.

Phelps has run in various Kansas Democratic Party primaries five times, but has never won… Phelps supported Al Gore in the 1988 Democratic Party primary election…According to Phelps, members of the Westboro Baptist Church helped run Gore’s 1988 campaign in Kansas. Phelps’ son, Fred Phelps Jr., hosted a Gore fundraiser, which Al and Tipper Gore attended, at his home in Topeka.

Moreover his phony “church” is comprised of his Democrat family members.

I don’t know how many times we have told you that but I guess when you’re a brainless wind up parrot it’s impossible to assimilate information.

Hillary finally gets asked some tough questions and what happens?

{{{One caller from Oklahoma City said that “the questions … were designed to incite a brawl,” and that Russert’s and Brian Williams’s moderating was “an abdication of journalistic responsibility.”}}

BOO FREAKING HOO!

Another said Russert “should be shot,” before quickly adding that she shouldn’t say that on a conference call.

No comment.

Although I do look forward to Russert’s reaction to all of this, which, unless they threaten to smear him with tabloid dirt, will probably not enhance Shrillary’s popularity.

How pathetic is this?

The Clinton campaign released a video Wednesday, entitled “The Politics of Pile On,” showing clips of the senator’s rivals going after her by name during the debate.

How dare they use her name!!! Is nothing sacred?

And this whiny complaint comes after Shrillary mentioned Bush’s name too many times to count, but he’s not running for anything.

This was a good line from Obama’s camp:

“The ‘politics of hope’ doesn’t mean hoping you don’t have to answer tough questions.”

I don’t care what Phelps calls himself, he’s insane and I’m glad somebody finally sued him and that he lost. I’m really surprised that no one hasn’t lost it at those funerals he’s protested and shot someone. He’ll probably appeal it to the Supreme Court though, but let him, I hope he goes bankrupt in the process.

{{{{Such existential questions seemed to be in the past. But with another Clinton running as if she’s all but a sure thing for the White House, Clintonesque is once again becoming a politically relevant adjective. In Tuesday night’s Democratic Presidential debate, the moderators and Hillary Clinton’s fellow panelists took pains to pin her down on one question after another, without notable success. The junior Senator from New York seems increasingly to have adopted her husband’s political methods, minus the savoir-faire. The result is that it’s impossible to know what she believes about anything.}}}}

{{{{The political strategy is clear enough. Mrs. Clinton wants to roll to her party’s nomination on a tide of “inevitability” while disguising her real agenda as much as possible. But Democratic voters ought to consider whether they want to put all their hopes for retaking the White House on Mrs. Clinton’s ability to obfuscate like her husband without his preternatural talent for it. Aside from lacking her husband’s political gifts, Hillary’s challenge is that we’ve all seen this movie before. And performances like Tuesday’s might be enough to convince voters to opt for a candidate who is his own man.}}}}

Plus, she’s a dumbas-s.

Which Saint? The Christmas dude - jolly old Saint Nicholas! (based upon a real guy by the way, as a good Episcopalian-attender would know - but that’s a different story).

Mixed feelings about the Phelps story. Suffice it to say my feelings about the man are such that I won’t type the words that describe those feelings. Courts have, I believe, imposed controls on his protests - stay N feet away, for example. The funerals are private affairs, yet they take place on public land. They are terribly offensive to the grieving families. The group is making a statement against the nation and groups citizens.

Right next to an article about that I read about a young man in high school lit class - topic was an examination of Huck Finn - course done by a group of the district teachers and a consultant - to show the racial, social, etc themes of the time, how they compare to today, etc. One student - the lone black student - found spelling out words that are now hyphenated - offensive and asked that the hyphenated version be used. The school complied and the teacher apologized.

So: words used in a social context can be, by popular agreement, not used. Even if used in a political context. I’m frankly not sure if such prohibitions have been challenged in court. Other words, entirely political, wholly offensive, are generally permitted (the Phelps verdict has, I think, a good chance of being overturned on appeal).

The point of the comparison was not to say one is okay, the other isn’t, or that somehow one justifies the other. It is the difficulty of free speech viewed in a blanket manner. The controlling phrase is absolute “Congress shall make no law…” yet there are limits “your right to free expression ends at the tip of my nose” or the fire in the theater example.

That’s the problem with free speech. It’s offensive. And it’s different from vulgar speech, threatening speech, personal speech, etc.

ITN, thanks for that link. Here’s part of Hagel’s letter to Bush:

I am increasingly concerned, however, that this diplomatic strategy is stalling. There are growing differences with our international partners. Concerns remain that the United States’ actual objectives is regime change in Iran, not a change in Iran’s behavior. Prospects for further action in the UN Security Council have grown dim, and we appear increasingly reliant on a single-track effort to expand financial pressure on Iran outside of the UN Security Council. Iran’s actions, both on its nuclear program and in Iraq, are unchanged. Iran’s leaders appear increasingly confident.

Unless there is a strategic shift, I believe we will find ourselves in a dangerous and increasingly isolated position in the coming months. I do not see how the collective actions that we are now taking will produce the results that we seek. If this continues, our ability to sustain a united international front will weaken as countries grow uncertain over our motives and unwilling to risk open confrontation with Iran, and we are left with fewer and fewer policy options.

Now is the time for the US to consider when and how to offer direct, unconditional, and comprehensive talks with Iran. The offer should be made even as we continue to work with our allies on financial pressure, in the UN Security Council on a third sanctions resolution, and in the region to support those Middle East countries who share our concerns with Iran. The November report by IAEA Director General ElBaradei to the IAEA Board of Governors could provide an opportunity to advance the offer of bilateral talks.

An approach such as this would strengthen our ability across the board to deal with Iran. Our friends and allies would be more confident to stand with us if we seek to increase pressure, including tougher sanctions on Iran. It could create a historic new dynamic in US-Iran relations, in part forcing the Iranians to react to the possibility of better relations with the West. We should be prepared that any dialogue process with Iran will take time, and we should continue all efforts, as you have, to engage Iran from a position of strength.

We should not wait to consider the option of bilateral talks until all other diplomatic options are exhausted. At that point, it could well be too late.

I urge you to consider pursuing direct, unconditional and comprehensive talks with the Government of Iran.

From Hagel’s letter benchmarking the views of one of the most grounded, foreign policy savvy, common sense thinkers about the eroding state of America’s military and national security portfolio. And he’s a Midwestern American Republican who served in the United States Military.

Let’s summarize - from one of the Senate’s most stalwart classic conservatives and a foreign policy savvy, common sense Republican who is interested in RESULTS rather than the current neo-con policy.

Had this guy chosen to run, he would have wiped the floor with the posers on the current GOP slate and might have mitigated the ongoing Republican blood letting.

And my guess is he knew this, but has given up on the incompetents in his party.

KABUL, Afghanistan - A nighttime raid in eastern Afghanistan by U.S. and Afghan troops sparked a gunbattle that killed three people, including two children, and the military said Thursday it is investigating the deaths.

In a sectarian civil war you can’t easily tell good guys from bad. Kids get killed, so do innocent women and the elderly.

THAT is just one of the myriad reasons why the USA should NEVER have been engaged in a foreign civil war.

It might take as long as half a century before U.S. troops can leave the volatile Middle East, according to retired Army Gen. John Abizaid.

“Over time, we will have to shift the burden of the military fight from our forces directly to regional forces, and we will have to play an indirect role, but we shouldn’t assume for even a minute that in the next 25 to 50 years the American military might be able to come home, relax and take it easy, because the strategic situation in the region doesn’t seem to show that as being possible,” Abizaid said Wednesday at Carnegie Mellon University.

Abizaid, the former commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East, stepped down in March as the longest-serving commander of U.S. Central Command. He retired from the Army in May and now is at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.

The rise of Sunni extremism, burgeoning Shiite extremism, the Arab-Israeli conflict and the world economy’s dependency on Mideast oil will keep Americans in the Middle East for a long time, he said.

“I’m not saying this is a war for oil, but I am saying that oil fuels an awful lot of geopolitical moves that political powers may have there,” Abizaid said. “And it is absolutely essential that we in the United States of America figure out how, in the long run, to lessen our dependency on foreign energy.”

He reiterated comments made in September that the U.S. needs to do a better job of coordinating economic, political and diplomatic means so the conflict can move from a military to a political issue.

“I would characterize what we’re doing now as 80 percent military, 20 percent diplomatic, economic, political, educational, informational, intelligence, etc.,” Abizaid said. “You’ve got to take that equation and change it. Make it 80 percent those other things.”

Abizaid, who has dubbed the current conflict “The Long War,” told The Associated Press in September it will take three to five years before Iraq’s government is stable enough to operate on its own.

Despite the strain on the armed forces, Abizaid said Wednesday it is important to maintain a professional military without re-establishing a draft.

Bosch,

Interesting article on the dollar fluctuation, or rather it’s plummet.

Going out on a limb here, but I think the big winner in the next few years with the currency shake up is going to be China. The Yuan is pegged to the dollar, so the chinese currency falls as the dollar does, it makes chinese exports more attractive to european markets. Chinese economic growth will skyrocket as the US and europe slow down, soon all we will be able to afford are chinese goods.

The chinese are smart and they are fairly ruthless about economic issues, they no longer adhere to political dogma to shape economic policy, even as they enforce it culturally on thier own people. What it comes down to is that US economic policy is geared towards pleasing the populace, even if it is at the expense of the nations properity, in china the economic policy is geared towards national strength first, and the populace gets the crumbs.

It never ceases to amaze me that some of the more inane here have the chutzpah to say (apparently with a straight face) that only the Republicans can be trusted with national security or a protracted war.

NEWS FLASH! Most Americans, at least those not vested in putting the imploding GOP before the nation, agree that this arguably worst ever administration has created a debacle of Viet Nam like proportions and has saddled America with a disaster that will require a future, and more rational, President to resolve.

How, in the name of (your favorite mythology here) can one expect these Bush apologists to have ANY credibility when they blindly and stupidly support an administration and utterly failed neo-conservative agenda that is defined by such a long series of strategic blunders, childish miscalculations, utter ineptitude in prosecuting a military campaign and an appalling lack of long range vision?

The only silver lining I can see from this is that these incredibly arrogant neo-cons are almost certainly looking at a second straight electoral bloodbath, which hopefully for the nation, will be their final hurray.

But things have taken a turn in the past week, with the Russians and the Americans now putting the squeeze on Iran. Soon enough, the Iranians and the Americans could end up working together, leaving the Russians in a tight spot.)))

before I shut it down -

RE

If my memory is correct, administrative law is a subset of public law. Government agencies’ rulings (administrative) have the force and effect of law. I believe the administrative orders concept, as you related, is more restrictive.

Lots of people don’t like the idea that government agencies “make law” but that’s the way it is.

It’s nothing new, has been going on for a long time, and quite possibly now is portrayed on one side as a dictatorial power grab and on the other as a President getting the work of the people done in the face of a do-nothing Congress.

@@

You’re welcome. No, oops, I didn’t have permission - got it on an email, saw it was still in the public portion so I linked to it. I believe they keep articles for a short time before they go to the member’s section.

I don’t think many can see past the “Bush warmonger” mantra to consider other aspects - such as psychological warfare. Of course, to consider such would belie the idea of Bush (and the career bureaucracy) as moronic, warmongering simpleton and would indicate a planned, considered nonmilitary strategy in play. And some just will not consider that.

That was a key point - countries pursue their own interests. I think that fogs over the thoughts of the “we’re all alike, want peace” group who interpret many such actions (ref. Putin with Iran) as somehow in response to “America’s failure” or “America’s fault.”

Yes, I remember about that earlier speculation. Interesting to see what happens with American basing rights. Do you think Hillary will answer a question about the impact of no basing rights for her plans to “redeploy American forces throughout the region” for “Iraq intervention when necessary?” :-)
