O'Donnell To Steele: "You Led Your Party To A Disastrous Loss... Congratulations" (VIDEO)
Lawrence O'Donnell had some tough words for RNC chairman Michael Steele this morning regarding the GOP's loss of the 23rd congressional district in New York for the first time in history. O'Donnell accused Steele, along with Sarah Palin and others, of leading the Republican party to defeat in the 23rd by ousting the Republican candidate Scozzafava from the race in favor of a more orthodox conservative who proved too orthodox for the voters. An incredulous O'Donnell asked Steele how such a stunning defeat could happen.
O'Donnell: Michael, you made the 23rd the most important congressional district in the country. The Democrats didn't do it. You did it. You lost it. You led your party to a disastrous loss that it has never experienced in that district before. Congratulations, nice work.
Steele: Hey Lawrence, if it makes you feel good, baby, then have at it. Just lay it on me. I'll shut up and listen to you. Because clearly you've got your talking points from the DNC. You roll them out and have fun with them. You're not going to spoil my juice right now; you're not gonna take this high away from me.

I admire Arianna Huffington. She is a strong, bold voice in our media firmament. But in the last few days, she has advanced an idea which, in my view, is wrong. She is urging Vice President Biden to resign if the Obama administration ignores his proposal to concentrate on counter-terrorist operations in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
But the flaw in Arianna's reasoning is to equate Biden's advocacy of counterterrorism with principled stances on law and diplomacy. While Biden has been an important voice against escalation inside the administration, his proposal itself is questionable; it advances the doctrine of preventive military action that would violate the sovereignty of an American ally and that in the past has resulted in the death of innocent citizens. By any reasonable standard, Biden's position is a violation of international law because the United States is not under threat of an imminent attack from extremists in Afghanistan and Pakistan and because the past eight years have made clear there are reasonable legal alternatives to protecting American lives in the form of intelligence and police actions that do not put innocent civilian life at risk.
Tillman was accidentally gunned down by members of his Ranger platoon on the evening of April 22, 2004. Lt. Col. Jeffrey Bailey, commander of the 2nd Ranger Battalion, visited the site of the calamity the following morning. A few hours later, he called his boss, Col. James Nixon, commander of the 75th Ranger Regiment, and said (according to Bailey’s sworn testimony), “My gut feeling was that Tillman had been killed by friendly fire…. There was no doubt about it. It was a case where there were six or seven Rangers that saw the vehicle shooting at them.” Before the day was out, Nixon notified three of his superiors, including McChrystal, that Tillman’s death was a fratricide. According to Army regulations, this information should have been immediately shared with the Tillman family, even if friendly fire was only a possibility. Instead, Army officers embarked on an elaborate campaign to suppress the truth and persuade both the family and the public that Tillman was killed by enemy fire. Soldiers were ordered to lie. Tillman’s notebook, uniform, ammo vest, and body armor were burned, in clear violation of other important protocols.

Frontline has weighed in on Afghanistan, (you can watch it here) bringing a sobering view on whether we should squander more precious human life and treasure on such a fools errand as “Afghanistanizing”, Afghanaistan... (my personal characterization, not Frontline's)
“Tens of thousands of fresh American troops are now on the move in Afghanistan, led by a new commander and armed with a counterinsurgency plan that builds on the lessons of Iraq. But can U.S. forces succeed in a land long known as the "graveyard of empires"? And can the U.S. stop the Taliban in neighboring Pakistan, where U.S. troops are not allowed and the government is weak?”
"It's trying to change the culture of the organization," Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top commander in Afghanistan, tells FRONTLINE of the administration's plan. "At the end of the day, our best counterinsurgents are going to be young sergeants who just have an ability to deal with people. We've got to give them the flexibility to make decisions."
"If we have a strategy in Pakistan," says George Packer, a staff writer at The New Yorker, "it's to build up the civilian government to the point where it can be a kind of counterbalance to the military and begin to reorient their own sense of their destiny. Is that even thinkable for a foreign power to do? Even as I say it, I think, why do we think we could even begin to accomplish that?"
"well it's one, two, three, what are we fightin' for...?" next stop Afghanistan...
I'm not sure where I got this material, either Pacifica Radio, PBS, or KSAN but I taped it off the radio in early 1971 just before I moved to Denver to begin my radio career as a news man on KFML AM FM, free-form radio. It was one of my first news presentations. The MSM in Denver at the time made little or no mention of Operation Dewey Canyon III, and John Kerry's speech to the Senate Foriegn Relations Committee...
Personally, I had never heard an anti-war speech as powerful and I was anxious to share it. Nothings changed, it has as much or more merit today as we seem to have learned nothing from the Viet Nam war...nobody listened and it took another 5 years to stop the war...how many sweet lives were squandered in the interum?...how many more precious lives will be squandered on George Bush's "Great Nation Building" mis-adventure? Who's promoting this escalation? The same guys that started it, they were wrong about everything last time...do they know something the Gold Star Mothers don't?
Let's pray there will be no more, no more...Part I
Let's pray there will be no more, no more...Part II

"Socialized" Medicine Works for Vets, Why Not Everyone?
by mcjoan
Fri Oct 09, 2009 at 07:00:03 AM PDT
Some of America's heroes love their government-run health care:
Rick Tanner is one American who loves his government-run health care.
After serving in Vietnam and spending three decades in the U.S. Navy, Tanner retired in 1991 with a bad knee and high blood pressure. He enrolled in the Veterans Health Administration and now benefits from comprehensive treatment with few co-payments and an electronic records system more advanced than almost anywhere at private hospitals.
“The care is superb,” said Tanner, 66, a San Diego resident who visits the veterans medical center in La Jolla, California, and a clinic in nearby Mission Valley. The record- keeping, he said, is “state of the art.” ....
Researchers publishing in the New England Journal of Medicine, the British Medical Journal and the Annals of Internal Medicine in recent years have endorsed the system. A Canadian policy journal, Healthcare Papers, devoted an entire issue to it in 2005.
“The VHA’s experiences have become a model around the world,” the editor-in-chief of Healthcare Papers, Peggy Leatt, wrote at the time.
The government is both payer and provider of care to the veterans, employing 19,000 salaried doctors in 153 medical centers and more than 900 outpatient clinics. Last year, 5.1 million veterans were treated, and millions more are enrolled.
“I really get annoyed every time I hear these talking heads talking about ‘the government can’t run anything,’” said John Rowan, 64, president of the Vietnam Veterans of America, who visits a New York clinic for complications from contact with the chemical Agent Orange. “Most veterans would give it a fairly good rating.”

Joe Scarborough Grows Exasperated, Claims "I'm Done" During Max Blumenthal Interview (VIDEO)
His hair caught on fire because he's used to abusing his position as a commenter and running over the top of people who have a sense of proportion and manners. Max ate his lunch, as anyone of average intelligence would. Luckily, we don't have to put up with his do-do out here on the west coast. He's all gone by the time most folks get up out here. I long for the day that he gets finessed into a debate with Jessie Ventura, part of Scarebourough's power lies in his size and propensity towards violence and he works the threat element to maximum effect, however, Jessie would be in heaven if he could sucker Scarebourough into attacking him...every day another wrong-winger slips into the works at Huff Po and seldom do they print my comments. Sometimes if I get really frustrated about it I snivel to Ms. Huffington, but so far, to no avail...

The sources used by The Liberal Media
Here are some of the sources which David Gregory cited today during Meet the Press:
The question is how much leverage does the U.S. really have? Charles Krauthammer, critical of the approach, saying . . . "This feel-good posturing is worse than useless, because all the time spent achieving gestures is precious time granted Iran to finish its race to acquire the bomb." Is this a cat and mouse game?
And there on Twitter is former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, and he posts this. He says, "President Obama fails to get the Olympics while unemployment goes to 9.8% Iran continues nuclear program."
But first, news about Iran in this morning's newspapers. The New York Times reports they may be closer now to producing a nuclear weapon than originally thought.

40th Anniversary of Woodstock Free Concert Golden Gate Park San Francisco, Sunday, October 25, 2009
Woodstock was not just an event, a happening or a concert with 400,000 people; it was a pivotal moment of realization for an entire generation. It marked an epiphany for the entire country. Woodstock was a statement to the world – “humanity had evolved” coming together through peace, love spirituality and rock ‘n roll.
An event originally intended for profit became the largest free event in history. The “Hip Movement” had come of age and was recognized by the world. The principles of love swept the country and we had become the ‘WOODSTOCK NATION”.
Amidst a time of military conflict abroad, as well as racial disharmony at home, the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival became an “Aquarian Exposition” that exemplified the counter-culture of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s.
