19.Dec.2006 Cops Caught Stealing Protestors' Cameras - Paul Joseph Watson -NYPD refuses to return stolen property despite video documentation
19.Dec.2006 BERLIN-On the day James Baker's Iraq Study Group report was published, I gritted my teeth and waited for the well-earned, long-awaited Franco-German "Old European" gloat to begin.

I didn't have to wait long.

"America Faces Up to the Iraq Disaster" read a headline in Der Spiegel .

In the patronizing tones of a senior doctor, Le Monde diagnosed the "political feverishness" gripping Washington in Baker's wake.

Süddeutsche Zeitung said the report "stripped Bush of his authority," although

Le Figaro opined that nothing Baker proposed could improve the "catastrophic state" of Iraq anyway.

And then, for two weeks ... silence.

If there are politicians, academics, or journalists anywhere in Germany + France who have better ideas about how to improve the catastrophic state of Iraq, they aren't talking very loudly.

There is no question that America's credibility has been undermined by the Iraq war in "Old Europe" as everywhere else.

There is no question that America's reputation for competence has been destroyed.

But that doesn't mean there are dozens of eager candidates, or even one eager candidate, clamoring to replace us.To continue reading, click here.
19.Dec.2006 Detainee 200343 - BG >From Crooks and Liars:
I meant to post about this story sooner, but there was a power outage in my neighborhood most of the weekend. This story is unbelievable: I know, I say that a lot.

Detainee 200343 was among thousands of people who have been held + released by the American military in Iraq + his account of his ordeal has provided one of the few detailed views of the Pentagon's detention operations since the abuse scandals at Abu Ghraib.

Yet in many respects his case is unusual. The detainee was Donald Vance, a 29-year-old Navy veteran from Chicago who went to Iraq as a security contractor.

He wound up as a whistle-blower, passing information to the FBI. about suspicious activities at the Iraqi security firm where he worked, including what he said was possible illegal weapons trading.

But when American soldiers raided the company at his urging, Mr. Va... Source: https://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/12/19/omg/

19.Dec.2006 The Jewish Conspiracy to Call Carter Anti-Semitic
Jimmy Carter, has a book out with the inflammatory title "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid," and a self-pitying op-ed in the Los Angeles Times:

Book reviews in the mainstream media have been written mostly by representatives of Jewish organizations who would be unlikely to visit the occupied territories + their primary criticism is that the book is anti-Israel.

Two members of Congress have been publicly critical. Incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for instance, issued a statement (before the book was published) saying that "he does not speak for the Democratic Party on Israel." Some reviews posted on Amazon.com call me "anti-Semitic," and others accuse the book of "lies" and "distortions."

A former Carter Center fellow has taken issue with it + Alan Dershowitz called the book's title "indecent."

Out in the real world, however, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. I've signed books in five stores, with more than 1,000 buyers at each site.

I've had one negative remark--that I should be tried for treason--and one caller on C-SPAN said that I was an anti-Semite.

My most troubling experience has been the rejection of my offers to speak, for free, about the book on university campuses with high Jewish enrollment and to answer questions from students and professors.

So you see, Carter isn't anti-Semitic, regardless of what the Jews who control the media and the universities want you to believe.

Meanwhile, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's president, held a Holocaust-denial conference in Tehran, which drew at least one American, Reuters reports:
18.Dec.2006 Best of the Web Today -By JAMES TARANTO

Our Time Has Come
We guess this is one of those cases in which we'll always remember where we were when we heard the news. It was in Phoenix, at the home of our friend David Burkhart, Saturday night.

David was surfing the Web + he looked up and said to us, "You're Time magazine's person of the year."

At first we assumed he was joking--we thought for sure it would be Barack Obama--but it turned out he was right:

Who are these people? Seriously, who actually sits down after a long day at work and says, I'm not going to watch Lost tonight. I'm going to turn on my computer and make a movie starring my pet iguana?

I'm going to mash up 50 Cent's vocals with Queen's instrumentals? I'm going to blog about my state of mind or the state of the nation or the steak-frites at the new bistro down the street?

Who has that time and that energy and that passion?

The answer is, you do. And for seizing the reins of the global media, for founding and framing the new digital democracy, for working for nothing and beating the pros at their own game,

Time's Person of the Year for 2006 is you.

There are some factual inaccuracies here: We don't actually work for nothing + we don't have a pet iguana (presumably that was a reference to the stuffed toy iguana in this column).

But these are quibbles. The important thing is that we are deeply honored and humbled that Time magazine has recognized us in this way.
18.Dec.2006 As the dangerous situation in the Palestinian territories unravels, one question stands out: Who are the good guys?

The politicians who are now trying to topple a democratically elected government or the people in power who are trying to pursue their ideology--one that they didn't hide from the voters who freely chose to elect them?

+ how come all these world leaders are publicly siding with the revolutionaries?

British Prime Minister Tony Blair, visiting the West Bank on Monday, declared, "If the international community really means what it says about supporting people who share the vision of a two-state solution, who are moderate, who are prepared to shoulder their responsibilities, then now is the time for the international community to respond."
To continue reading, click here.
18.Dec.2006 The Los Angeles Times leads with word from military and CIA officials that they are increasing the oversight of spying operations carried out by U.S. Special Forces teams.

Largely due to Donald Rumsfeld's distrust of the CIA to gather intelligence, small groups of Special Forces troops have been sent to a number of countries, including allies,

to carry out operations that sometimes duplicate agency efforts.

The Wall Street Journal tops its worldwide newsbox + nobody else fronts, the latest from Gaza, where after a day of violence that killed three people, a cease fire was declared that has little hope of surviving.

The New York Times leads with a story on how an American civilian, who was also a whistle-blower, was detained for 97 days in a U.S.-run maximum-security detention site in Baghdad.

The story illustrates how disorganized the detention system is in Iraq and shows how little recourse an American has to challenge his imprisonment.

The Washington Post leads with news that at least seven Virginia Episcopal parishes voted to split from the U.S. church.

This could mark the beginning of a nationwide trend that will likely lead to a legal battle over valuable property.

Two of the Virginia congregations that decided to split have buildings + land worth approximately $25 million.

USA Today leads with state governments struggling to meet the ever-increasing price tag of providing health care benefits to its employees.

A new accounting rule is forcing states to keep track of how much they owe for health care benefits for retirees + in many cases the numbers were higher than most expected.

19.Dec.2006 Snow On Whether We Are Winning In Iraq: ‘I’m Not Playing The Game Anymore’ - Judd

Less than two months ago, President Bush said explicitly that the USA was “winning” in Iraq. 10/25/06:

REPORTER: Are we winning?

PRESIDENT BUSH: Absolutely, we’re winning.

This weekend, former Secretary of State Colin Powell said that “we’re not winning. We are losing.” Asked about Powell’s comments, Snow replied, “I’m not playing the game any more.” Watch it: Transcript:

Q Can I just come back to Powell one more time? Just to be clear, one of the points of disagreement, we are losing, you disagree with that?

MR. SNOW: Again, the President has said before that we are winning. Look, what Colin Powell is saying, we’re not winning, so therefore we must be losing + then he says, all is not lost. So I’m just — I’m not going to get — what I am saying is that we will win and we have to win + that’s the most important — that’s the most –

Q You’re not disagreeing with him?

MR. SNOW: I’m just — I’m not playing the game anymore. It’s one of these things where you end up — it all ends up trying to — you’re trying to summarize a complex situation with a single word or gerund, or even a participle. And the fact is that what you really need to do is to take a look at the situation and understand that it is vital to win, that there is — by winning, that means to have an independent Iraq that really does stand on its own as a democratic and free state that supports us in the war on terror.

Q Can I ask the gerund another way? The President said in October, “Absolutely, we’re winning.” Is that still his belief today?

MR. SNOW: Again, the President — that’s why I’m just — I think at this point it ceases to be fruitful to jump into this. We think that what is happening is we are going to win and that we need to find better ways of dealing with the sectarian problem.
19.Dec.2006 December 19, 2006 - Think Progress .

The White House is “aggressively promoting” a plan to send “15,000 to 30,000 more troops” to Iraq “over the unanimous disagreement of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,” the Washington Post reports.

$100 million. Amount the Pentagon wants to spend to build a new courthouse at Guantanamo Bay. About 60 cases would be tried in this courthouse, totaling “$1.6 million per defendant just for the building. The trials will cost many millions more.”

According to a new Pentagon report to Congress, “ attacks against American and Iraqi targets had surged this summer and autumn to their highest level.” There was “an increase of 22 % from the level for early May to early August.”

“Over the past six months, Baghdad has been all but isolated electrically, Iraqi officials say, as insurgents have effectively won their battle to bring down critical high-voltage lines and cut off the capital from the major power plants to the north, south and west.”

The Washington Post examines the apparent White House censorship of former Bush National Security Council Middle East Director Flynt Leverett, a story ThinkProgress first reported on Friday.

“00.000.2005, 53 members of the House and Senate did not publicly report trips paid for by outside groups within 30 days of the travel,” as is mandated by congressional rules.

Sen. Tim Johnson (D-SD) has been “conscious at times since his emergency brain surgery last week.” More good news: Johnson “has made it through the crucial first 72 hours since the brain surgery…a benchmark that doctors consider a good sign for recovery.”

CBS News reports, “The Pentagon is planning a major buildup of U.S. naval forces in and around the Gulf as a warning to Iran .”

“Under a court order, the Bush administration will restart a housing program for Hurricane Katrina victims early this week and begin explaining to thousands of evacuees why their aid was cut off this summer.”

Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS), “who blocked the confirmation of a woman to the federal bench because she attended a same-sex commitment ceremony for the daughter of her long-time neighbors, says he will now allow a vote on the nomination” after legal scholars said his demands may have been unconstitutional.

And finally: Tom Brokaw thinks the web is making you “flabby.” Tom Brokaw told the Philadelphia Inquirer, “Americans have gotten flabby ‘by spending all our time riffing through Google and other Web sites.’”

But while our arrests reflect the “shoot first, ask questions later” style of George Bush and outgoing UN Ambassador John Bolton, we ended up teaching the government a lesson in diplomacy. read more |

Unprogressive Democrats Categories: Blue Dogs Democratic Congress Democratic Majority Democratic Party

The members of the new Democratic majority that takes control of Congress next month do not support every progressive ideal and policy.

Dozens of House members, especially from the South and Mountain West, oppose abortion rights, gun control + same-sex marriage.

Other lawmakers still believe the U.S. can emerge victorious in Iraq; they criticize the way the Bush administration has managed the war, not the decision to invade and occupy the country in the first place. read more

Düsseldorf - Deutschlands größter Textilhändler C&A etwa akzeptiert anstandslos DM-Scheine und -Münzen.

In großen Kaufhof-Filialen kann man vor der Shopping-Tour an der Zentralkasse die Mark in Euro umtauschen.

Und auch in vielen anderen Geschäften lohnt es sich dem Hauptverband des Deutschen Einzelhandels (HDE) zufolge, einmal nachzufragen:

"Wenn einer noch einen 100-Mark-Schein gefunden hat, sind die Chancen groß, dass er einen Händler findet, der ihn akzeptiert."

19.Dec.2006 Australia Rules Linking to Copyright Material Also Illegal - ScuttleMonkey 95--

"A recent ruling in Federal court upheld the ruling that the operator and ISP that hosted the site 'mp3s4free.net' were guilty of copyright infringement violations because they provided access to the copyright material.

From the article: 'Dale Clapperton, vice-chairman of the non-profit organization Electronic Frontiers Australia (EFA), explained the ruling as follows: "If you give someone permission to do something that infringes copyright, that in itself is infringement as if you'd done it yourself. Even if you don't do the infringing act yourself, if you more or less condone someone else doing it, that's an infringing act."'"

"The DMCA-like amendments to the New Zealand Copyright Act passed their first hurdle in parliament today, with an overwhelming 113 to 6 vote to pass the Bill to the Commerce Select Committee for further discussion. The detail-oriented can read the full debate (or rather lack of debate) + one enterprising New Zealand legal blogger has an excellent series of posts on the Bill, its background + its implications. New Zealanders interested in fighting this legislation have until the 16th of February 2007 to make submissions to the Select Committee, before the committee makes its recommendations and sends the Bill back for a second reading."

Singh said they want to build many more such towers, with one for every time zone.'" 19.Dec.2006 ISECOM's Top 10 Real Computer Crimes - ScuttleMonkey 119 -thelordx writes

Gegenwärtig verfolgt Snow die Idee, weibliche Pythons gleichsam als Lockvögel in die Freiheit zu entlassen.

Vier Weibchen waren vergangene Woche bereits in den Everglades unterwegs, unter der Haut winzige implantierte Funksender.

In der bald anbrechenden Paarungszeit, so die Hoffnung, werden sie die Ranger zu den versteckten Balzplätzen der Pythons führen.

Sie wollten wissen, wie gute Laune, Aufmerksamkeit und Kreativität zusammenhängen.

Sie ist nicht nur äußerst angenehm, die gute Laune. Sie hilft sogar bei der Bearbeitung kreativer Aufgaben. Das fanden Psychologen der University of Toronto in einer Studie heraus, die in der Wissenschaftszeitschrift "Proceedings to the National Academy of Sciences" (PNAS) erscheint. Gute Laune fördert alle Denkleistungen, die mit Einfallsreichtum und ungewöhnlichen Sichtweisen zu tun haben - schlechte Laune die räumliche Konzentration. So lassen sich die Ergebnisse des Tests schnell zusammenfassen.

19.Dec.2006 _{https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/}The Saudis and the surge Why would the new Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, offer tentative backing for a "surge" of additional troops in Iraq, albeit for a limited period? At this point, most Dems want a withdrawal; the only question is how rapid.
The commentary on Reid's remark has ignored the Saudi factor. As noted in a previous post, the Saudis, who did not favor the invasion, now do not favor an American withdrawal. If America leaves, Saudia Arabia will have to step in to protect Iraq's Sunnis, just as Iran will support Iraq's Shi'ites. Proxy war may give way to regional chaos.
The Saudis hold a commanding position: "We're not asking you; we're telling you." We need their oil and their money. The Saudis have already begun to shift major investments to Europe + they may follow Iran's lead by switching to the Euro.

00.000.1977-00.000.2000 ist die Temperatur nach ICIMOD-Daten um 0,09 Grad angestiegen - pro Jahr. Das klingt für Laien nach wenig, sei aber vier Mal schneller als die globale Erwärmung im gleichen Zeitraum. "Einige kleinere Studien in dieser Region haben gezeigt, dass die Gletscher weiter abschmelzen und die Gletscherseen in Zahl und Größe zunehmen", sagte Shrestha zu SPIEGEL ONLINE.

Denn weil es im Himalaya auch weiterhin wärmer wird, werden Hunderte Gletscher in immer schnellerem Tempo schmelzen und somit zurückweichen, vor allem die kleineren. Zum Beispiel die Zunge des Gletschers Kongma Tikpe in Nepal: Erst ging sie um 60 Zentimeter pro Jahr zurück (1976 bis 1978), dann um zweieinhalb Meter pro Jahr (1978 bis 1989) + bei der jüngsten Messung waren es jährlich schon rund zehn Meter (1989 bis 2004).

Forscher schlagen Alarm: Alle 200 bis 300 Jahre habe es in der Region blitzschnelle Fluten mit Katastrophen-Potenzial gegeben, doch nun würden sie alle zwei bis drei Jahre kommen, sagt Arun Shrestha vom International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) in Nepal. Der Grund ist der gleiche, der die Polkappen schmelzen und den Meeresspiegel steigen lässt: der Klimawandel und die damit einhergehende Erderwärmung.

"Was dem Euro helfen könnte, ist der sehr unwahrscheinliche Fall eines Beitritts Großbritanniens zum gemeinsamen Währungsraum", meint der Experte.

Trotz der Bemühungen seitens des Staates, den Haschisch-Konsum mit Verboten zu unterbinden, umfasse die jährliche Produktion das Zehnfache der Menge von 1981, argumentiert Gettman. Damals betrug die jährliche Produktion offiziellen Zahlen zufolge gerade einmal 1000 Tonnen. "Das Problem ist nicht nur größer geworden, was Umfang und Produktion angeht - die Produktion hat sich auch noch im ganzen Land verbreitet", schreibt er. "Zu sagen, der Geist ist aus der Flasche, ist noch eine herzliche Untertreibung." Man solle deshalb Marihuana und Haschisch gesetzlich wie Alkohol oder Tabak behandeln - schließlich beständen für den Staat ungeahnte Gewinnmöglichkeiten, da auf das Rauschgift ordentlich Steuern erhoben werden könnten.

Am 24. Oktober 1946, das sagen die Protokolle, fand jener erste Flug mit einer Filmkamera in der Spitze der V2 statt. Der damals 19-jährige Wehrpflichtige Fred Rulli berichtete im "Air & Space Magazine", dass die Kamera bei der Landung in der Wüste zerstört wurde. Den Film aber habe eine harte Stahlkassette geschützt.

Als die Forscher die Aufnahmen bargen, seien sie außer Rand und Band gewesen. "Sie waren in Ekstase, sprangen auf und ab wie kleine Kinder", so Rulli.

Unter dem Namen A4 (für Aggregat 4) wurde die Rakete erstmals im Jahr 1942 an der damaligen Heeresversuchsanstalt Peenemünde getestet. Ihren martialischen Propagandanamen "Vergeltungswaffe 2" (kurz V2) erhielt sie erst im Oktober 1944 von Hitlers oberstem Hetzer Joseph Goebbels. Ab September setzte die Wehrmacht die Waffe vor allem gegen englische und belgische Städte ein, insgesamt flogen mehr als 3000 Raketen.

Der geistige Vater der Technologie, der Ingenieur Wernher von Braun, Mitglied in der NSDAP und der SS, stellte sich wenige Tage vor der Kapitulation des Deutschen Restreichs der US-Armee - die ihn und Angehörige seiner Forschungsgruppe als Teil der Operation "Paperclip" in die USA holten. Im thüringischen Nordhausen konnten die US-Truppen rund 100 V2-Raketen erbeuten, demontieren und in die USA bringen. Dort dienten sie dann in White Sands als Grundlage des US-Raumprogramms. Auch die ersten Raketenstarts im späteren Raumfahrtbahnhof Cape Canaveral in Florida fanden mit modifizierten V2-Raketen namens "Bumper" statt: Auf sie hatte man eine "WAC Corporal"-Rakete als zweite Stufe montiert.

18.Dec.2006 House Armed Services Chairman ‘Extremely Concerned’ With Iraq Escalation Plans - Nico -

Rep. Ike Skelton (D-MO), the incoming chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, has released a statement expressing his serious concern over proposals to increase the U.S. presence in Iraq by up to 50,000 troops:

“The recent speculation in the press regarding an increase of 20,000 to 30,000 or even 50,000 troops in Iraq has left me with many concerns. Everything I’ve heard and everything I know to be true lead me to believe that this increase at best won’t change a thing + at worst could exacerbate the situation even further. I am also extremely concerned about the additional burden that would be placed on the Army and Marine Corps.

“The Iraqis need to understand that responsibility for the future of that country is theirs. Beginning the redeployment of some number of American forces would send that message. I urge the President to carefully consider this option to help move the political situation in Iraq forward.

Yesterday, incoming Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said he could support a brief increase in troop levels but only as part of a plan for phased withdrawal. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell and Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY), a member of the Armed Services Committee, have said they do not favor troop increases.

Read Skelton’s full statement:

Skelton Congratulates Gates and Expresses Reservations on Increased Troop Levels

WASHINGTON, DC - Today Ranking Member Ike Skelton (MO), released the following statement congratulating Secretary Gates and expressing reservation about the proposed increase in troops levels deployed to Iraq.

“I congratulate Secretary Gates on his official assumption of office. I look forward to working with him to meet the needs of our military today and preparing for the challenges that lie ahead.

“One of those challenges will be Iraq. What we do to solve that situation is one of the most pressing questions facing the new Secretary.

“The recent speculation in the press regarding an increase of 20,000 to 30,000 or even 50,000 troops in Iraq has left me with many concerns. Everything I’ve heard and everything I know to be true lead me to believe that this increase at best won’t change a thing + at worst could exacerbate the situation even further. I am also extremely concerned about the additional burden that would be placed on the Army and Marine Corps.

18.Dec.2006 Snow Denies White House Censored Critic, Moments After Admitting He Knew Nothing About It - Payson -

Flynt Leverett, a Middle East analyst who served under President Bush on the National Security Council, revealed

on Friday that the White House has been blocking the publication of an op-ed he wrote for the New York Times.

The column is critical of the administration’s refusal to engage Iran.

Leverett accused the White House of trying to “silence an established critic of the administration’s foreign policy incompetence.” (Steve Clemons, Christy Hardin Smith + Juan Cole have more.)

Today, Tony Snow was asked about Leverett’s allegations at the White House press briefing. At first, Snow admitted, “I don’t know anything about it.” Moments later, however, he issued a definitive denial.

“The White House is not blocking his writings,” Snow said.

Watch it: Transcript:

QUESTION: Flynt Leverett — a former NSC official, Mideast expert;

he also worked for the CIA — has charged that the administration has blocked publication of an op-ed he wrote for the New York Times simply because he’s critical of the administration’s Iran policy.

SNOW: I doubt that. But Flynt has been plenty critical and plenty public in the past. I don’t know…

(CROSSTALK)

QUESTION: … now being blocked because he’s become increasing critical at a time when it’s politically important for the White House to have public support for its foreign policy.

SNOW: I sincerely doubt that, but I’ll try to find out. I don’t know anything about it except, come on, it’s not like Flynt has not been out publicly on a number of occasions questioning the administration.

QUESTION: But he says the CIA has cleared this particular piece + the White House has blocked it. So my question is…

SNOW: The White House is not blocking his writings.
18.Dec.2006 Bush’s New Strategy: Copy The ‘Success’ of Vietnam - Judd -

Retired General Jack Keane is an “influential member of the Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board” who met with President Bush last week to push his plan to send 40,000 more U.S. troops to Iraq. According to media reports, President Bush is leaning toward taking Keane’s advice.

In the most recent issue of the Weekly Standard, editor Fred Barnes lauds Keane’s plan. He explains that is an “application” of the “counterinsurgency approach” that was executed “so successfully” in Vietnam:

The Keane-Kagan plan is not revolutionary. Rather, it is an application of a counterinsurgency approach that has proved to be effective elsewhere, notably in Vietnam. There, Gen. Creighton Abrams cleared out the Viet Cong so successfully that the South Vietnamese government took control of the country. Only when Congress cut off funds to South Vietnam 00.000.1974 were the North Vietnamese able to win.

Barnes is parroting the view of Henry Kissinger. Bob Woodward explained in his book, State of Denial:

Kissinger sensed wobbliness everywhere on Iraq + he increasingly saw it through the prism of the Vietnam War. For Kissinger, the overriding lesson of Vietnam is to stick it out.

In his writing, speeches and private comments, Kissinger claimed that the USA had essentially won the war 00.000.1972, only to lose it because of the weakened resolve of the public and Congress.

You know Iraq is going badly when people suggest the way to turn it around is to make it more like Vietnam.

UPDATE: Rick Perlstein explains why Kissinger was wrong:

To begin unraveling the true meaning of Kissinger’s advice to the White House, we have to go back to August 3, 1972. On that date, President Nixon repeated to the good doctor, his national security adviser, what he’d been saying in private since 1966: America’s war aim (standing up a pro-American and anti-Communist South Vietnamese government in Saigon) was a fantasy. “South Vietnam probably can never even survive anyway,” the president sighed. But a presidential election was coming up. He had long before promised he was removing the U.S. presence, more-or-less victoriously (though “victory” was a word Nixon, by then, wisely avoided; instead, he called it “peace with honor”).

It was Kissinger, who had been shuttling back and forth to Paris for peace negotiations with the enemy, who named the dilemma: “We’ve got to find some formula that holds the thing together a year or two, after which–after a year, Mr. President, Vietnam will be a backwater. If we settle it, say, this October, by January ‘74, no one will give a damn.” Thus was confirmed what historians would come to call the “decent interval” strategy. Having pledged to Saigon–and American conservatives–that Communist troops would not be allowed in South Vietnam after a peace deal was signed, Kissinger negotiated the opposite. “Peace is at hand,” he announced on the eve of the 1972 presidential election, in one of his rare appearances before the TV cameras. The USA left the following spring; the Communists moved in; Saigon fell.

That’s not how Nixon and Kissinger told the story, of course. They blamed the defeat on a combination of the liberal congressmen who refused to vote for continued aid to South Vietnam 00.000.1974 and Saigon’s own unfortunate lack of will.

18.Dec.2006 31,709 Earmarks Later, Bush Decides Pork Is A Problem - Amanda -

00.000.2006, Congress allocated a record $71.77 billion “to 15,832 special projects, more than double the $29.11 billion spent on 4,155 pork-barrel projects 00.000.1994.” 00.000.2005, Congress inserted 15,877 pork projects into spending bills. In his weekend radio address, President Bush called on Congress to reform this earmarking process:

[O]ne of the best ways we can impose more discipline on federal spending is by addressing the problem of earmarks . … My administration will soon lay out a series of reforms that will help make earmarks more transparent, that will hold the members who propose earmarks more accountable + that will help reduce the number of earmarks inserted into large spending bills.

Pork is a problem. But Bush should also address reform in his own administration. Bush’s earmarks are much tougher to find, often appearing “only in closely held supplements separate from the public budget books. … [A]s head of the executive branch, the president often doesn’t need earmarks: Once federal agencies get funding from Congress, his appointees are fairly free to steer sums to places, programs and vendors as the administration decides.” A few examples of Bush’s bacon:

– “While the Education Department’s budget would be cut, Mr. Bush propose[d] a 16% increase to $204 million for teaching sexual abstinence in high schools, a popular cause for social conservatives.”

– Rep. Anne Northup (R-KY), “a target of Democrats in this year’s midterm elections,” secured “ a $3.5 million research grant for a local surgical team . The funds came not from congressional earmarks but from Pentagon accounts, according to the report.”

– Bush requested “$10 million for Preserve America grants for communities’ historic preservation efforts and $50 million for the Helping America’s Youth Initiative — also among programs championed by Mrs. Bush .”

Bush may say he’s against pork, but in his six years as President, Bush has never once vetoed any of Congress’s pork-laden spending bills.
