Who Is In Charge Of Sex?

Sexual assault is not only common within the United States military, but it has become a way of life. Over 20,000 cases occur each year which results in statements, promises, and new policies to ensure there are no more cases of sexual harassment. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel wants to do something,  but his dilemma is allowing the command structure which is responsible for this mess to remain responsible for change or to institute a new command organization. “The ultimate authorityhas to remain within the command structure.”

However, he is considering options which remain, at present, not known to anyone. Senator Diane Feinstein offered a more realistic analysis. “I think it h as to be taken out of the command decision-making.” In other words, create a new command.

Russian Spy Plot Thickens

Every so often reality makes a film come across as simply a worse plot. Here is the situation. Employee of the American Embassy in Moscow. Dark night. Man wearing a blond wig, carrying a bag of money. He approaches another man who supposedly has documents to trade for the money. Suddenly, from the bushess emerge members of the Russian Federal Security Service(FSB) who grab the man. A wig floats to the ground and the Americanis placed under arrest. Michael Fogle is now being held by burly Russians, much to the glee of the Russian government.

Assume for a moment that Fogle was able to bribe a Russian FSB agent. Exactly which great secrets would  now be in possession of the American government? Ah,a secret speech by the Great Leader-Vladimir Putin– in which he demonstrates his prowess in wrestling? His plans to shake up the Russian economy? Putin shooting a wolf??

Stay tuned for the next chapter of this  fascinating spy story.

Oh Pakistan, OH, OH!

One day the world will gaze in the direction of Pakistan and see a modern nation that is economically booming and people of all faiths live in peace. Heck, one will be able to walk at night with the family and not worry about being kidnapped. But, for the present, Pakistan has a new president. Nawaz Sharif, a devout Muslim just won an election and will replace President Asif Ali Zardari. In a nation convulsed by poverty and an inadequate education system, the first item on his agenda is drones.”Drones indeed our challenging our sovereignty.” Yes,it is a serious issue and it is time for America to cease abusing other nations.

But, the real issues are more complex. Even without drones, there are issues of(a)  ending the ongoing conflict with India in order to use money for economic development and education.(b) It is time to create a modern society. (c) It is time to negotiate a peace with the Taliban.

Do the above and the issue of drones will disappear.

Blame It On The Jews!

The problem in being a Jew over the past two thousand years is that whenever people are upset at something or anything they simply turn to the ever available enemy-the Jew. Most Middle Eastern people are still convinced the Mossad was behind the 9/11 bombing. They are convinced that Israel agents are stirring up trouble in Egypt in order to discredit the beloved Muslim Brotherhood. A few days ago bombers blew up cars and killed dozens of people in a Turkish border town with Syria. Mihrad Ural, former leader of “Acilcier”- the Hasty Ones– claims that Israel agents did the bombing in order to disrupt the life of our wonderful Syrian leader, President Bashar al-Assad.

“Israel has an interest in this, since the Syrian army’s recent gansshow that Bashar al-Assad is here to stay.”Let’s face it, them Jews were behind the Boston Marathon Masscre!

Who Is First In Iran?

An election will be held next month in Iran to determine the name of its next president. About thirty minutes before expiration of time for submitting one’s name to run for president, two men appeared on the scene. Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani,who once had been president, and Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei, the buddy of current President Ahmadinejad, both showed up and submitted their names. Each has a constituency,but the real question is which one has the consituency of Ayatollah Khamenei. Mashaei has a daughter who is married to the son of Ahmadinejad, and Rafsanjani has been around for years and has excellent connections with many clerics.

It is possible for Khamenei to decide to cancel the candidacy of anyone connected to Ahmadinejad because the Ayatollah does not enjoy having the upstart president challenge his authority. Did Khamenei give his blessing to Rafsanjani? Did the Ayatollah tell Ahmadinejad to bug off?

Then again, who is playing third base for the New York Yankees?

A few nights in the kennel for him.

Ineptness Of Barack Obama

Perhaps, I was spoiled by being  born when Franklin Roosevelt was president. He was opposed by 75% of newspapers and magazines but was able to get his message to the American people. He held weekly news conferences which meant at least one day of the week, he dominated the news. He was  blunt, he took on the wealthy class and did not pull punches. He presented his ideas clearly in terms that anyone could understand. Alas, Barack Obama from day one of his administration has hidden himself from the media, he rarely explained any of his programs and event today most Americans do NOT have any understanding of the Affordable Care Act. Heck, the president did not even send a pamphlet to every American which clearly and concisely explained the law.

Now, we have the ongoing saga of distortion and lies about the Benghazi attack. Obama should have appointed a bipartisan committee to investigate the incident. He should have made clear to all members of the Cabinet that no use of government agencies would be tolerated to further political attacks. Obama is a bungler.

Pakistan Democracy?

An electiion was held in Pakistan. OK, some people died, but there was an election and the man who received the most votes did win. OK, so maybe he received some votes that  he did not really gain, but the election proceeded to a  logical conclusion. Imran Khan, whose new party secured 30 seats accepts the triumph of Nawaz Sharif even though there was evidence of voter fraud. Khan did make clear his party would issue a formal complaint about vote rigging, but it is clear that Sharif did obtain a majority of the votes.

What is the end result of this election? Nawaz Sharif is now the prime minister. He can do something. Of course, the question is what will he do. Frankly, if Jesus Christ himself got elected there would still be chaos in Pakistan and violence would continue. No candidate offered a plan, no candidate has a clue to end violence. Four more years of death and destruction and continued poverty.

Blame It On Clinton!

There is scant doubt anymore that from day one of the election of Barack Obama the goal of the Republican party has been to obstruct his presidency and find evidence that he should be impeached. OK, so George Bush lied about WMD, OK, so there was no connection between Saddam Hussein and 9/11, George has white skin and is a Republican. Sometimes, it is difficult for any rational person to believe in the anger and viciousness of Republicans, but the evidence is overwheleming. As far as they are concerned, Obama is the anti-Christ himself and must be removed from office.

Thomas  Pickering, a highly seasoned diplomat wrote a critical report on the response to  State Department personnel to the Benghazi incident which led to the death of four people. As Pickering notes, “they’ve tried to point a finger at people more senior than where we found the decisons being made.” Pickering found that “systematic failures and leadership and management deficiencies at senior levels” of the State Department led to the deaths.

Pickering worked with former Chief of Staff Mike Mullen on the report. But, neither one of these men blamed either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, so how could they be accurate??

Impeach the black dude and save America for white  folk!!

Abortion, Not On Demand

Future historians will shake their heads in wonder at the tenacious fight by Republicans over the issue of abortion. The act of  aborting a child is among the oldest in human history. In the Supreme Court decision of Roe vs Wade, women were allowed to gain control over their own bodies. Obviously, deciding when a pregnant woman is carrying a human being is controversial, but the Supreme C0urt did empower females to make the decision to abort. For nearly half a century women have possessed that right, but that right was never right with conservatives.

The Red River Women’s Clinic in Fargo, North Dakota is the last remaining facility that offers women access to abortion services. North Dakota politicians have passed one law after another to force closure of the clinic and they soon will succeed. The goal is clear- deprive women have abortion facilities and end abortions. Actually, this will not occur because women with money can always gain an abortion. Just another example of how Republicans screw the poor.
