September 29 2010 Travus T. Hipp Morning News & Commentary: Congressional Recess Looms Large - If You Want To Make Political Sausage You Have To Grind The 'Pork'
In The News: Thanks to ChrisM, my MP3Angel, for supplying the commentary and news audio files this morning.
Western Europe in full "Pucker Factor" - A German citizen in Afghanistan has been captured who claims that there are plans for attacks on soft targets all over Europe.
The Karzai government in Afghanistan has appointed 70 representatives to reconciliation talks with the Taliban, leaving no one to fight but al Qaeda, who are in Pakistan, which we have territorially invaded with or without the consent of their government... More.
With recess looming Congress is in the process of 'processing "pork"' under the 'Unanimous Consent' parliamentary clause... Except in the Senate, where senator Jim DeMint has said he will force the examination of every bill in the senate using another parliamentary procedure.
The cost of war.... In 1921 the Germans were handed a $21 billion dollar bill for the damages caused by World War One... Ninety two years later... this week the German government will finally pay off the last of that debt.
A Few More Items Of Note:
Former Reagan official Paul Craig Roberts claims that the US government is establishing in the mind of the public that anyone who criticizes the War on Terror is aligned with terrorists. He further argues that under the rubric of terror the government has stripped Americans of their civil liberties.
"The three-judge panel said it appeared that the execution date was chosen in part because the state's supply of one of the lethal drugs has an expiration date of Friday." (source)
How hypocrisy works: Iraq has paid US soldiers 'abused' by Iraqi forces during Saddam Hussein's invasion (U.S. approved invasion... Cf. Amb. April Glaspie's 'No opinion' in the matter comment to Saddam Hussein) of Kuwait, but... "From the ‘Nobody could have Anticipated’ files', six years after Donald Rumsfeld said:
"...he had found a legal way to compensate Iraqi Abu Ghraib detainees who suffered “grievous and brutal abuse and cruelty at the hands of a few members of the United States armed forces.” “It’s the right thing to do,” Rumsfeld declared in 2004. “And it is my intention to see that we do.”
