A Synopsis Of This Morning's News...
H/t to ChrisM my MP3Angel for supplying the audio files.

«o» #AfghanistanSpring.
"Taliban militants launched a series of attacks on as many as seven sites across the Afghan capital and in three other cites Sunday, targeting NATO bases, the parliament and Western embassies..."

“Reports indicate the attacks have taken place in the vicinity of the U.S., German, British embassies."

"More than 10 explosions in all rocked the city, and heavy gunfire continued to be heard in the streets for hours after the first blast. Smoke rose over the skyline as sirens wailed."

"Militants holed up in one tall building were seen firing rockets in different directions, according to a witness on the scene. Some residents reported a blast near parliament as militants took over a nearby building and opened fire..."
Image, a besieged Afghan parliament building...
"Ambassador to Afghanistan Ryan Crocker spoke to Candy (Crowley) while his embassy in Kabul was on lockdown. He said that the attacks showed that the US still needed a military presence in Afghanistan." ~~Candy Crowley, State of the Union Crib Sheet for Sunday April 15th
So here's what we're going to do...

WTF Afghan Coin Strategy
[Click the image for larger, and an analysis of WTF this means.]
Free beer for the person who can tell us what stage of Obama's plan we are on right now!

«o» President Obama went to Cartagena Colombia for a 'Summit of the Americas' intended to focus on trade agreements, NAFTA enforcement etc, and then 17 members of the president's bodyguard detail... well let's just say the boys in black needed a little nooky and the K street office girls weren't around:
CARTAGENA, Colombia (AP) — The Secret Service says it has placed 11 employees on administrative leave for misconduct in Colombia, where they were working on security ahead of President Barack Obama’s trip to the South American country.

The agency’s assistant director says the employees were both special agents and Uniformed Division officers. None were assigned to directly protect Obama himself.

The agency did not disclose the nature of the allegations. The Associated Press confirmed that the behavior in question involved prostitutes... ...The Secret Service says it regrets any distraction the situation has caused during the regional meetings. [More @ Salon]
The other big story that occurred was a joint request for Cuban attendance at the next conference, which the US summarily opposes. That issue stands unresolved.

«o» The conference in Turkey on Palestinian issues occurred over the weekend as did protests in Palestinian territories. The Israelis also detained a number of Western activists for Palestinian rights who attempted to fly into the country to attend the protests and sent them away, including an number of international celebrities and political figures as persona non grata.

«o» Did I mention that a 30% income tax won't make a dent in the wealth of the super rich because so little of their money is taxable in the US? The senate will take up the Buffet Tax Amendment today which would flat tax all Americans 30% with some other taxes applied to those making more than a million dollars a year but too stupid to offshore bank their booty.

«o» And Congressional Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa will open his version of hearings on what's wrong with the General Services Administration. He claims there's "Possibly ‘billions’ in GSA waste".

Meanwhile, on the topic of the Secret Service getting their "Service" from Cartagena Colombia's hookers, Issa had this to say:
It's not unheard of for agents to have "wheels up parties" when the president is on his way home from a trip, Issa, chair of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said on "CBS This Morning." At that point, he said, "you can sort of let your hair down." [More @ CBSNews]
It's nice when the double standards of freaks like Issa show through, and they're too corrupt to notice.

A Synopsis Of This Morning's News...
H/t to ChrisM my MP3Angel for supplying the audio files.

«o» The much ballyhooed North Korean rocket launch did not quite go as planned. It's second or third stage failed and it fell into the ocean somewhere between Japan and the Philippines. The US is going to spank North Korea over this launch by tightening up on food aid to starving Korean civilians because 'intelligence' reports say (snigger) Spam and gubmint cheeze were used in the manufacture of the rocket.

«o» Connecticut has become the seventeenth US state to repeal the death penalty.

«o» Pro-Palestinian state rallies are scheduled this weekend in the West Bank and Gaza. At least a thousand international activists are expected to fly into Israel to participate. They are expected to be vetted by the Israelis as provocateurs and refused entry into the country.

«o» UN teams are ready to enter embattled areas of Syria with aid as the ceasefire, shaky but holding, begins to take effect.

Foreign Policy Magazine:
Syrian ceasefire “relatively respected” as U.N. looks to observer mission

The second day of Syria's fragile ceasefire appears to have held, although reports emerged of scattered violence. According to the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, violent clashes broke out early on Friday in Khirbel el-Joz, a northwestern village in the Idlib province near the Turkish border. Nonetheless, United Nations and Arab League envoy Kofi Annan said that the truce has been "relatively respected." Meanwhile, Syrian opposition leaders called for mass protests, which are expected after Friday prayers. An advance team of up to 12 U.N. observers are set to enter Syria if given the orders from the U.N. Security Council. The United States has also drafted a resolution that outlines plans for the observer mission, which is expected to come to a vote Friday. Ultimately, Annan's plan calls for 250 observers, but Russia's Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said, "The full-fledged mission will take some time to deploy." Syria has said it will accept the monitors who could arrive early next week. Annan's six-point peace plan includes the right to demonstrate, but the government said protesters must seek permission, [In Full]
"...but the government said protesters must seek permission..."

You'd wonder what the writer's point was when they penned that... That IS the standard everywhere else in the world including the United State where quite often in recent years not only has permission been denied, but in Chicago, host to the upcoming NATO meeting, the city has gone as far as create unconstitutional laws suppressing American's freedom of speech and assembly.

A Synopsis Of This Morning's News...
H/t to ChrisM my MP3Angel for supplying the audio files.

[After the commentary Iris DeMent wants a word with you about our "Rich White Guy" nation... Courtesy of the respective artists.]

«o» There will be a thirty three nation "Meeting of the Americas" this week in Colombia but it's unsure whether Hugo Chavez will make it. Chavez is in Cuba for cancer therapy. He's not been looking well and the expectation is he will make some 'final' statement in regard to the revolution he brought to Venezuela.

«o» North Korea has scrubbed today's launch of a multi-stage rocket due to weather but they still have a five day window. Japan and South Korea are claiming they have the right to shoot down any rocket that passes over their territory because any rubble and debris from a failed launch would end up falling in their territory, which sounds like it WOULD BE the epitome of a "stupid nation trick" as all the rubble and debris would be liable to fall on those countries if they shot the rocket down as well, with a MUCH greater degree of certainty. More at Foreign Policy Magazine.

«o» Two more earthquakes, one a six pointer on the Richter scale in the Mexican Gulf of California. Seismologists are saying they aren't connected to the one at Sumatra yesterday but nevertheless mother nature is 'shrugging' a lot and some are saying it's weather related.

«o» Speaking of weather, there's snow on the ground in Tucson Arizona and hail big enough to break windshields, while on the East Coast there's a drought in progress with brush fires to match those dry conditions.

«o» Syrian troops are attempting to maintain a ceasefire but saying they have the right to defend themselves from attacks. The opposition is planning a large rally in Damascus and elsewhere on Friday after prayers and there is continued shelling over the Turkish border. Meanwhile The U.N.'s Ban Ki-moon says the “onus is on Syria” to keep the government’s promise and hold to a cease-fire and stated "...it may take just a gunshot to derail peace." which means it would be quite easy for the CIA fronted rebels to set the Syrian government up... Expect that. That has been their modus all along. Quote sources, Salon. Sitrep from AlertNet.

Fighting in south Yemen kills 50 so-called militants

By AHMED AL-HAJ
Associated Press


SANAA, Yemen (AP) -- Yemeni artillery and military aircraft backing pro-government tribesmen pounded al-Qaida fighters trying to battle their way into a strategic town in the country's south on Wednesday, while a suspected U.S. airstrike killed at least 12 militants, officials said.

The fighting near the town of Lawder started over the weekend when al-Qaida attacked an army post, sparking resistance from Yemeni troops and from armed residents.

The military claims that at least 165 militants have been killed in the past three days, including 38 on Wednesday, as al-Qaida continues a costly but determined assault aimed at expanding a swath of the south under their control. The officials said six civilians fighting alongside the army were also killed... [The mayhem, in detail]
Meanwhile, in Africa, the western-interested South Sudan breakaway 'government' is getting thirsty for (oil-rich) territory outside the expectations of their Western backers.
South Sudan troops move into disputed oil town

By MICHAEL ONYIEGO and MOHAMED SAEED
Associated Press


JUBA, South Sudan (AP) -- After a day of fierce fighting, troops from South Sudan captured an oil-rich border town that is claimed by Sudan, whose troops withdrew under the onslaught, a Sudanese government minister said Wednesday.

The military advance by South Sudan into territory it claims but which is internationally recognized as Sudan's brought swift condemnation from the United States and Britain. Both nations, along with the U.N. Security Council, urged South Sudan to withdraw from the town of Heglig and condemned the bombings of South Sudan territory by Sudan... [More @ AP]

«o» The Tsunami warning from Madagascar to the Persian Gulf, to the Northern tip of Sumatra due to an 8.9 magnitude earthquake on the Western side of Sumatra has been canceled. More.

«o» President Obama is out shilling billionaire Warren Buffett's plan for equalizing tax rates. More. You can rest assured whatever the tax rate is enacted for people in the stratosphere of income Warren Buffett and his kind reside in, it will not affect their net worth.

«o» Major League Baseball (tm), an entertainment company, has suspended a Miami team coach for five games and there is hollering that he be fired due to the Cuban-American coach's statement that he loves and respects Cuban icon Fidel Castro. The fellow has just helped fund the building of a kid's league stadium in Miami's 'Little Havana' but that civic act has not muted the cries for his head from Cuban ex-pats in the region.

«o» The North Koreans now have a five day window to launch a radio broadcast satellite on a multi-stage rocket. Some intelligence analysts in the US and the West are claiming it's a covert way of testing a nuclear weapons delivery system.

The following manual was recently "released by the Department of Defense".

In other words it has been 'sterilized'. But here it is.

DoD SERE Pre-Academic Laboratory (PREAL) Enhanced Interrogation Techniques Manual

...or more directly; "Learn to survive "Enhanced Interrogation" (aka torture)"
The following manual was recently released by the Department of Defense. The manual was produced by the DoD’s Joint Personnel Recovery Agency (JPRA) and used by instructors in the JPRA’s Survival Evasion Resistance Escape (SERE) courses to train participants for the potential experience of detention. According to Jason Leopold and Jeffrey Kaye of Truthout, the manual was reportedly consulted during high-level discussions in the Bush administration regarding potential “enhanced interrogation techniques.” Several techniques described in the manual are mentioned in a series of controversial memos commonly referred to as the “Torture memos” authored by Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel attorney John Yoo.

«o» Talks about the Iranian nuclear program are scheduled to happen in Turkey but the Iranians and Syria may boycott the discusion.

«o» The son of the Shah of Iran is trying to convince the American government and NGOs to back his "opposition party". He is not a hero of post revolutionary Iran. More.

«o» A double bombing in the Western Afghanistan province of Herat has left ten dead police officers and intelligence operators. Over the weekend there were around five ISAF forces killed and a larger number of Afghan police.

«o» North Korea has a three stage rocket on the stand ready to launch a satellite by the end of the week, but the US, Japan, South Korea and other nations say that's not the purpose of the launch. The US is claiming it's a test of a rocket that could possibly hit the far northwest corner of US territory such as the Aleutian Islands... implying a nuclear weapons delivery system.

«o» The senate, which has gone ONE THOUSAND AND SEVEN days without passing a budget (the whole Obama term) has been upbraided by the "Senate Parliamentarian" who has informed that August body they cannot keep stalling on bills introduced but are required to act on them and if a bill is voted, it can be passed by a simple majority... which may allow the senate Democrats to throw the budget ball into the Republican court right around election time.

«o» There's a new tactical arrangement for night raids by ISAF forces in Afghanistan. Those forces are going to be garrisoned at night, with the Afghan "Special Forces" thugs we've trained doing that dirty work instead... Unless of course ISAF forces are called in to 'critique and assist' them.

«o» With two days to go before a ceasefire begins the Syrian rebels have rejected a demand by the Syrian government that they lay down their arms. Government forces are using artillery and aircraft against three cities ostensibly 'in the hands' of the rebels, whose strategic, tactical, and operational base is in Turkey... which has led to this cross border incident:
Turkey: 3 wounded from Syrian gunfire over border
By Selcan Hacaoglu, Associated Press


ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey says Syrian forces fired across the border at a refugee camp, wounding a Turkish translator and at least two Syrian refugees.

A government official, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with government rules, says Turkey immediately summoned the Syrian charge d’affaires and asked that the fire be halted. [More]
«o» The Iranians have offered to make a deal to stop producing their 30% enriched nuclear material and scale back their R&D efforts if there is an international agreement to provide materials and technology from other 'controlled' sources. For your information, weapons grade nuclear material is around 90% enriched, the Iranians have 30% enriched, and the West wants them to have no more than 15% enriched. The law of diminishing returns ABSOLUTELY applies here. It's a light-year leap from 30% to 90% and would require a HUGE investment of time, money, equipment, and low grade nuclear materials to produce weapons grade Plutonium, and the Iranians simply do not have the resources.

«o» The US has deployed a second aircraft carrier group in the Arabian Sea outside the Persian Gulf and are 'patrolling the coast for piracy' from Aden to Somalia. It's the fourth time in ten years the US has had two carrier groups, which cost millions of dollars a day to staff and operate, in that area.

«o» Republican presidential nomination contender Rick Santorum is off the campaign trail visiting his daughter who is ill. The next Republican primary is in Pennsylvania, Santorum's home state.

Meanwhile the Republication 'Super Delegates' says no matter how you add it up Mitt Romney is going to clinch the Republican presidential nomination.
It's over, and Mitt Romney is going to be the GOP nominee for president.

That's the growing consensus among Republican National Committee members who will automatically attend the party's national convention this summer and can support any candidate they choose.

Even some members who support other candidates begrudgingly say the math doesn't add up for anyone but the former Massachusetts governor.

"I would be surprised if Romney doesn't get the number he needs," said Jeff Johnson of Minnesota, who supports former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

Bob Bennett of Ohio was more blunt.

"Look, Gov. Romney's going to be the nominee, and he's going to have enough votes," said Bennett, who is publicly neutral but said he supported Romney four years ago. [In Full]

A Synopsis Of This Morning's News...
H/t to ChrisM my MP3Angel for supplying the audio files.

«o» Yesterday president Obama signed the Jobs Act which loosens up credit and insurance on government contracts for small businesses and entrepreneurs. Will the hustlers and hucksters move in on those government insured loans?

«o» Attorney General Holder came up with the required three page single spaced justification as demanded by the 5th circuit court judge who took umbrage at the president's pronouncement that the Ryan budget bill had a number of constitutional no-nos within it and was an attack on the underpinnings of American society.

Meanwhile, the Europeans are confused by our "Supreme" judicial jurisprudence:
Europe is scratching its head over possibility that the U.S. Supreme Court will strike down President Obama's signature legislative achievement. As the judiciary and the Obama administration trade legal barbs over the high court's authority, the idea that health care coverage, largely considered a universal right in Europe, could be deemed an affront to liberty is baffling.

"The Supreme Court can legitimately return Obamacare?" asks a headline on the French news site 9 POK . The article slowly walks through the legal rationale behind the court's right to wipe away Congress's legislation. "Sans précédent, extraordinaires" reads the article. In the German edition of The Financial Times, Sabine Muscat is astonished at Justice Antonin Scalia's argument that if the government can mandate insurance, it can also require people to eat broccoli. "Absurder Vergleich" reads the article's kicker, which in English translates to, "Absurd Comparison." In trying to defeat the bill, Muscat writes, Scalia is making a "strange analogy [to] vegetables." [More @ Atlantic Wire via Yahoo!]
«o» A UN brokered ceasefire has been declared in Syria and the Assad government has signed it willingly, but right now Syrian forces are attacking a number of suburbs of Damascus and the city of Homs attempting to secure territory before the ceasefire takes effect next week.

«o» There's a virus attacking Apple computers. But as has been noted by a number of computer savvy pundits over the years, don't call Apple for advice. They'll only direct you to call the company that supplied your antivirus software. Are they working on a patch to plug that security hole? Who knows? Unlike MicroSoft, Apple doesn't like to talk about those things with the public.

«o» Iran has thrown a wrench in the works on the UN sponsored Palestinian-Israel talks by inviting the meeting to Tehran or Damascus instead of Turkey (where the West is currently hosting the folks staging the destabilization of Syria). Considering both of those countries would be involved in those talks, and the significance of those countries in the region, the talks COULD fall apart if that suggestion isn't honored by the UN.

«o» In Greece the suicide rate has tripled since IMF mandated austerity measures were enacted recently.

Yesterday... A 77 year old retired pharmacist shot himself in the head during the morning rush-hour near Syntagma Square.
“I see no other option for a dignified end before having to scavenge through the garbage for my food,” (in other versions "I find no other solution than a dignified end before I start searching through the trash for food," [src]) the 77-year-old retired pharmacist from Karditsa wrote in the note found on him after he shot himself to death in Athens' main square yesterday morning.
His note stated:
"After paying into my pension for 35 years, the government has rendered it too small to survive..."
His suicide sparked demonstrations, recriminations, and a public debate on its significance. As people took to the square in commiseration and anger, Prime Minister Lukas Papademos expressed sorrow.

“It’s tragic that a fellow man has ended his own life," he said "In these difficult times for our society, we, both the state and the citizens, have to support the people next to us that are in distress."

The public suicide as a political statement is highly unusual in Greek political tradition.

“I have to say this is a little out of our political culture,” says Michalis... [Christian Science Monitor for more]
But it IS right inside the ECONOMIC and SOCIAL acculturation of the OECD nations...

Yours truly is speaking of what can only be described as victims of an affluent society where people are semantically informed throughout their lives that they are somehow worth more than an Indonesian garbage dump dweller. However, the Indonesian doesn't have those suicidal thoughts because their society, family and friends don't consider them outcasts or 'disposable' because life has dealt them that hand.

Consider Mohamed Bouazizi, the Tunisian who self-immolated and sparked a 'revolution' in his country.

He didn't commit suicide because he was forced to sell oranges on a street corner for a living despite his higher education. He committed suicide because the Tunisian government (at least the municipality where he lived) prevented him from doing even that.

In Western industrial society, our learned behaviors prevent us, psychologically and emotionally, from digging trash if we have to, leaving a population prone to suicide, substance abuse, and psychological health problems as the end result.

Further, we are all programmed from birth not to bite the hand that feeds us so to speak, but when the 'food' stops showing up we won't bite them... we attack each other.

I mean Mexican illegals (workers just like us) ARE the reason we don't have jobs right?

That's what we're told, and that's what we want to believe because we cannot believe that the people who created the system as it is, did it ALL for themselves.

Believe it...

The Simpson "Cat Food Commission", the US government's response to an IMF demand that the OECD nations cut their national deficits by a large amount has yet to cause the massive disruptions and dis-ease in America, but similar plans are the direct cause of the turmoil we are now seeing in Greece and Spain which have enacted those plans.

By reading the newspapers you'd think those country's government just 'thought it up', but it was agreed on by the IMF just a couple of years ago that it would be done in all the member nations... Including America.

Meanwhile, the Globalized Rich left note of appreciation on the night table for you after screwing you for the last 24 hours:
Darling,

It's been fun but let's be honest. You'll never win the lottery.

On the other hand, the chances are pretty good that you'll slave away at some miserable job the rest of your life. That's because you were in all likelihood born into the wrong social class. Let's face it -- you're a member of the working caste. Sorry!

As a result, you don't have the education, upbringing, connections, manners, appearance, and good taste to ever become one of us.

In fact, you'd probably need a book the size of the yellow pages to list all the unfair advantages we have over you. That's why we're so relieved to know that you still continue to believe all those silly fairy tales about "justice" and "equal opportunity" in America.

Of course, in a hierarchical social system like ours, there's never been much room at the top to begin with. Besides, it's already occupied by us -- and we like it up here so much that we intend to keep it that way.

But at least there's usually someone lower in the social hierarchy you can feel superior to and kick in the teeth once in a while. Even a lowly dishwasher can easily find some poor slob further down in the pecking order to sneer and spit at.

So be thankful for migrant workers, prostitutes, and homeless street people.

Always remember that if everyone like you were economically secure and socially privileged like us, there would be no one left to fill all those boring, dangerous, low-paid jobs in our economy.

And no one to fight our wars for us, or blindly follow orders in our totalitarian corporate institutions. And certainly no one to meekly go to their grave without having lived a full and creative life. So please, keep up the good work!

You also probably don't have the same greedy, compulsive drive to possess wealth, power, and prestige that we have. And even though you may sincerely want to change the way you live, you're also afraid of the very change you desire, thus keeping you and others like you in a nervous state of limbo.

So you go through life mechanically playing your assigned social role, terrified what others would think should you ever dare to "break out of the mold."

Naturally, we try to play you off against each other whenever it suits our purposes: high-waged workers against low-waged, unionized against non-unionized, Black against White, male against female, American workers against Japanese against Mexican against... [In Full]

A Synopsis Of This Morning's News...
H/t to ChrisM my MP3Angel for supplying the audio files.

Due to "cockpit troubles" at Cabale News Service World Headquarters there will be no commentary segment this morning, but there IS the news...

«o» The General Service Administration which had been busted blowing hundreds of thousands of dollars on Las Vegas parties and more by the Department Of Justice a while back are about to get roasted... The Republicans are going to hold hearings. There have already been firings and people falling on their swords over it. But there IS a silver lining... More

«o» Five alleged terrorists who are claimed to have been involved in the planning and operation of the 9/11 attack have agreed to be tried as a group at Guantanamo. Expect very little media coverage.

«o» The US Marines are going to discharge sergeant Gary Klein of their meteorological division, a right wing nutcase, over statements he made on his facebook page and elsewhere referring to the president as a domestic terrorist.

More from Reuters:
(Reuters) - A federal judge refused on Wednesday to block disciplinary action against a Marine who criticized President Barack Obama on Facebook and called him a "domestic enemy" in a posting to an internal military network.

Marine Sergeant Gary Stein, 26, a meteorologist stationed at Camp Pendleton near San Diego, filed suit on Tuesday, saying the Marine Corps was violating his right to free speech. A Southern California congressman has rallied to his defense.

The Marines have said they initiated discharge proceedings against Stein after he posted political statements about Obama on a Facebook page he runs called the "Armed Forces Tea Party."

Military experts have said that by associating the name of his Facebook page with the Armed Forces, Stein was essentially putting himself in the position of publicly expressing his personal political opinions while in uniform, which Defense Department rules prohibit.

But at a hearing on the lawsuit in San Diego, District Judge Marilyn Huff said he also came under scrutiny for anti-Obama comments he posted to the military's internal network for meteorological and oceanographic information.

Huff said the online message posted by Stein read: "As an active-duty Marine, I have sworn to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. Obama is the economic enemy, the religious enemy, the domestic enemy." [More]
«o» The Taliban is on the warpath again with a bombing in a Northern province of Afghanistan near the Pakistan border killing 10 people including three US troops. They have also raided an Afghan security forces compound. The native security and militia forces there were all killed.

«o» In Morocco an activist rapper involved in the democracy movement whose name transliterates to "The Outraged" has been arrested for a song about police corruption. He may spend three years in prison for that song.

A Synopsis Of This Morning's News...
H/t to ChrisM my MP3Angel for supplying the audio files.

«o» ROTF ROTF! Constitutional clash! Yesterday President Obama had lunch with the Associated Press where he called the Ryan variant on the federal budget a Trojan horse for radical change and a challenge to the basic value of the Constitution. THEN a federal judge on the 5th circuit court took umbrage at the president's deconstruction of the budget and it's constitutional implications so he ordered the Justice Department to deliver a three page single space brief by tomorrow stating where the president thinks he has the right to make statements regarding the budget's validity under the US Constitution.

It's worth noting that president Obama has a degree in constitutional law, but it's unlikely he'll argue that brief himself.

It's ALSO worth noting no federal court complained when Obama essentially declared private Bradley Manning, accused of leaking materials to WikiLeaks guilty... before the private was even arraigned, also circumventing court procedures, and potentially tainting Manning's trial, now in progress.

«o» Mitt Romney pulled a hat trick yesterday and won the Republican primaries in Maryland, Washington, DC (Rick Santorum wasn't on the ballot in DC), and Wisconsin, where Romney only had a 5 point margin. Santorum says he's going to hang in until the convention which MAY cause a brokered vote with Santorum's delegates 'for sale'. The price being including planks of Santorum's campaign platform in the Republican presidential campaign.

«o» You don't go at us... we won't go at you - The US and the Afghan government talks on ending night raids by ISAF troops in the country's communities appears to be moving towards some sort of deal considering the Taliban aren't attack ISAF bases as often.

«o» The 'cradle of American democracy' France has gone full Islamophobe and has rounded up all known 'radical Islamists' to be deported and no one with any record of activities in that realm will be allowed in the country in future.

«o» Today president Obama will sign the new law banning congress, the presidential staff, and other top government officials from making profits in the stock market on insider tips. Expect no enforcement... except perhaps of the selective nature by congressmen with axes to grind.
