POPSMature Presidents Outperform Young Interesting evaluation of some historical events...the way I learned and saw history. FTA: "Our next president will face a resurgent Russia run by Vladimir Putin and his KGB friends, Iran and its nuclear program, and al-Qaida and other terrorists who want an atomic weapon." Ooops. There might be too much 'fear' in this Clip.

POPSChristians and Al-Qaida Working Together As long as these “christians” support McCain, not by advocating solutions to our woes, but by demonizing opponents and terrorizing the masses, they will continue to reflect the will of terrorists around the world as they use whatever contemporary means available to get their political way - blind as they may be.

POPSAl-Qaida website wants McCain elected Their recruitment "requires presence of an impetuous American leader such as McCain..." They want the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to continue. Urges strikes against US prior to election to stimulate revenge votes for McCain.

POPSTortue: Direct Authorizations from White House Revealed
Torture is against Internation law In March 2008 Bush vetoed Congressional legislation outlawing torture. New legislation was later passed officially approving waterboarding & other modes of torture (John McCain voted in favor of this approval) Approving torture and approving totally allowed spying on citizens without specific warrants or reasons are two fatall steps towards full-fledged fascism. This documentation of these White House memos would document Bush/Cheney & other White Houses officials of war crimes OR complicity in war crimes. If these officials can get away with this now, not only does the corruption and descent of our nation deepen now but makes it more probably that such evils will happen in the future. (Having private armies is another classic step down the road to fascism -- like Blackwater, like other "private security contractors.") Ruling by fear and lies, etc. The legacy of George Bush will be that he's the first president to be tried for

POPSObama, NcCain twist records Why don't we just hold the election today and be done with it? There is going to be nothing constructive from either of these two and only the media will benefit by collecting money to run their ads.

POPSGunfire exchanged by Pakistani and US troops What the hell is going on with our allies? Pakistan is supposedly fighting with us against Taliban and extremist Islamist. If we are both on the same side why not allow US troops to cross the border to help? Do Pakistanis want to do it alone? Are they harboring terrorist and protecting them from being discovered? Do they think the U.S. tactics are too reckless and imprecise? Pakistani students are burning American flags. If the Pakistanis have become our enemy why are we not treating them as such?

POPSThirty killed as Mogadishu is shelled
Islamic militants with ties to al-Qaida have been fighting the government and its Ethiopian allies for control since their combined forces pushed the Islamists from the capital in December 2006. Within weeks of being driven out, the Islamists launched an Iraq-style insurgency that has killed thousands of civilians to date. In recent weeks, the militants appear to be gaining strength and sidelining the fragile government. The group, known as the Council of Islamic Courts, has taken over the port town of Kismayo, Somalia's third-largest city, and dismantled pro-government roadblocks. They also effectively closed the Mogadishu airport by threatening to attack any plane using it. "We keep recruiting new fighters to prepare them for the holy war against Ethiopian troops in our country and their Somali stooges," said Sheik Muhumed, a commander with al-Shabab, the group's military wing. The United States considers al-Shabab a terrorist group, raising fears Somalia could become a have

POPSArms Trade Flows Freely According to US state department figures this week, Iraq has signed more than $3bn worth of arms deals in the past two years. Amnesty estimates that more than 1m small arms have been sold to Iraq since the 2003 invasion and the Iraqi government plans to procure more than 250,000 from the US and China. And the irresponsible war profiteering continues. Russia has agreed to supply 27 helicopters to Sudan, says Amnesty. Last year, Sudan listed its main arms suppliers as China, Russia, North Korea, Belarus, Indonesia, Iran and Malaysia. Some of these weapons are being used by Al Qaeda against U.S. troops. Is there no better reason to halt this illegal/immoral war?

POPSNow the US is Chasing OBL to His Cave A couple of days old but I haven't been keeping up with what was going on in Pakistan. I'm trusting that this is true. With Musharraf gone and no more attempts to prop him up...time to find the "secret hiding place".
