  12. TSB: I was glad to see that John Kerry told the truth about Isreal the other day. (apartheid state)

    Of course now he says he never said it but at least he said it before he didn't, if you know what I mean. gwb

    ReplyDelete
  13. GWB: Kerry learned to backpedal on his $10,000 mountain bike, so don't even try to keep up with him.

    The Israeli left uses the term "Apartheid state" a lot, but I think it's highly incorrect. About 21 percent of Israel's citizens are Arabs, and they have the same rights as the others. They vote, get elected to the legislature, serve in the military, buy land, etc. It's the Arab states that don't allow Jews to become citizens, vote, own land, etc. Even Jordan doesn't treat Jews equally under its laws, despite signing a peace treaty with Israel in 1995.

    For Kerry, "apartheid" is probably a standard term of denunciation in his political circles. No one even remembers what the word means or where it came from, so I shouldn't be surprised that it isn't used accurately.

    ReplyDelete
  14. TSB: $10,000 mountain bike! Wow.That would look good on top of my Corolla.

    I read a pretty good article on what the Ukraine military has been doing the past 10 years. They sold everything and pocketed the cash because why fight the neighbors? gwb

    ReplyDelete
  15. TSB:Kerry has used the'L' word. This is a serious breach of protocol! (shouldn't he have said 'snookered'?) gwb

    Kerry expressed anger and despair at Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. The Secretary of State accused his Russian counterpart of lying to him about Russia’s willingness to abide by an international agreement to de-escalate the Ukraine crisis.

  16. $10,000 bike and he still can't pedal a good story.

  18. TSB: Disappointing to see Robert L

    ReplyDelete
  20. GWB: You made me waste almost three hours watching the video of the Lovell testimony before I got to the part where Chaffetz repeated the story about the FAST Marines putting on civilian clothes. I think Lovell said his knowledge of the matter "was not directly related" (?) but he talked about it anyway.

    That story was reported by Fox TV in January 2013 (FAST Marines were sent to Tripoli on September 12, 2012) but not by any other news media. No FAST Marine or DOD spokesman ever confirmed that story, so far as I know. No one ever alleges that the FAST team sent to Sanaa on the same day had to change to civilian clothes. Is the story even true? I don't know, but I've never heard of FAST Marines in civilian clothes before.

    Watching Chaffetz at work, I cringed whenever he thanked Gen. Lovell "for your service." It makes me suspicious about how much he really values military service when I see that he, personally, chose not serve. He values it in others, but not for himself, apparently.

  21. James: Don't fear the Hillary. This is the second time she's been the inevitable next POTUS, and it might not work out any better for her this time than it did before.

  22. TSB: Sorry for the wasted 3 hrs researching the Marines thing but good work anyway. I've wasted a lot more time on the wild musical chases James sends me on but it's all just in fun. Speaking of 'This is a great book idea'.. 'The Oligarchs' is a great book idea. It's about the 6 guys that became the 1st Russian oligarchs starting in 1985. I bought it used after reading Ch 1. Fun to see how this guys got where the are 20 yrs later. Really interesting reading.

  26. James: Call me cluless but when you
    add the Nuland intercepted phone call with the 'clandestine' CIA chief's trip to Kiev with the IMF money pledge with 'conditions' for the new Kiev government with the latest battles between armed people (thugs) and unarmed people doesn't this look like a classic CIA destabilization operation?

  29. TSB: I am glad there will be a special comittee on Benghazi not because of the stupid talking points

  30. TSB: I was watching a little C-span think tank on Ukraine this morning. The experts were giving their views on how to help the neo-nazis beat back the russkies and start WWIII.
    One guy suggested we send them stinger missiles like we did for Afghanistan. These guys sure get excited about proxy wars don't they? I think sending Nuland and more cupcakes would do the trick.

    Shinseki just found out about it last Friday! (except for a couple isolated instances) The 'mad as hell' Secy can't identify anything he ever did or asked to get to the bottom of this. I think I would have asked him to take a drug test. (for valium,'dupify' and 'stupify') At any rate we can now be certain that the Secy was just following orders like: stay cluless! gwb

  97. TSB: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) warned Wednesday that Republican lawmakers would call for President Obama’s impeachment if he released more prisoners from Guantanamo Bay without congressional approval. I guess he can't use a hammer but he knows some people on Angie's List.

  98. TSB: Watching 4 senators quizzing Jane Harmon on Ukraine. Jeanne Shaheen wonders if pumping massive amounts of USAID and IMF $$ in will end corruption there. Evidently the oligarchs have promised not to steal the money so it's a go!!(smiley face). I was waiting for her to mention Afghanistan,but no. gwb

  99. TSB: I was thinking about D-day and the value of disinformation. It occurred to me that Fl-370 was a story that had the characteristics of a totally pre-planned disinformation campaign filled with all the usual "expert" disinformers.

  100. TSB: In light of Maureen Dowd's latest 'TRIP' in Colorado where she spent a day hallucinating on marijuana I found this local story really interesting. Now we are curing brain cancer with that shit!!

  101. MoDo was tripping on Colorado weed? I get a mental image of her putting on some Jimi Henndrix and reminiscing about the '60s. Not a pretty scene.

  103. Thanks James! I would like to see the video but I guess I would have to search thru hours of C-span for that.
    I wasn't born until 9 mo's after D-day but I'm still upset about the break-up of Martin and Lewis. I always blamed Lewis but I should give that up. The old coot is still going strong! gwb

  104. James! That was really good! (as I'm watching at 2 am) I think they should have had the Queen give a speech. That would have brought the house down. gwb

  105. TSB:MoDo reminds me a little of Pepe Escobar. She looks at important issues from all angles and paints a picture that is a lot more like the real thing than most of us get. And it's always a bit of a surprise. gwb

  106. TSB: I remember when you predicted that Assange would never get out of the Ecuadorian Embassy. Three cheers for the UK taxpayers for footing the
    $11 million bill for guarding the place and putting up with a total security state they wouldn't even know about without Snowden and Greenwald. gwb

  107. TSB: Presidente Obama's open borders plan seems to be really picking up speed. I wonder what McCain thinks about sending them all to the Phoenix Bus Station? gwb

  108. TSB: Wed at 5:45 pm I spent 20 min in a 5 to 7 person line at my nearby Walmart Super Center waiting for the only cashier.(that's how slow business is) Talk centered on how pissed off everyone is getting with homeless panhandlers. 10 yrs ago that store was bustling. gwb

  110. GWB: Assange will get out of that embassy someday. The government in Ecuador might change its mind and throw him out, or Swenden might drop the charges against him, or the British might just lose all interest in him. He has.been eclipsed by Snowden in the public mind, after all.

  111. TSB: The statute of limitations on forgetting to use a condom in Sweden shouldn't be this long. Don't they have an 'Alien and Seduction Act'??

  112. TSB: Sen Wyden is one of my favorites for his patient and successful unmasking of James Clapper as a bald faced liar. In the process he revealed his colleagues to be, let's say, 'cowed'. I would like to see him resign from the oversight committee and proclaim that their is no oversight; Just a herd of closely watched cattle munching away. gwb

  113. TSB: According to sources Otis was enrolled for Yoga training at the famous 'James Studio For The Performing Arts'. Under 'type of horse' the owner described Otis as a stud. He failed miserably and James had to refund all fees. gwb
