Obama in Wonderland (Nuke Free)
2009-04-07 18:25:00 It is well known and publicly accepted among conservative, that Barack Obama’s words are but mere lies. On the one’s groveling tour of Europe, Obama yearned for and promised to strive for a world as free of nuclear weapons as Obama’s brain is free of intellectual thought. The man who promised a post partisan administration achieved in uniting, the Wall Street Journal, William Kristol, Anne Applebaum and more. Frist via Jennifer Rubin, Commentary Magazine, the Wall Street Journal: “Rarely has a Presidential speech been so immediately and transparently divorced from reality as Mr. Obama’s in Prague. The President delivered a stirring call to banish nuclear weapons at the very moment that North Korea and Iran are bidding to trigger the greatest proliferation breakout in the nuclear age? William Kristol, Washington Post : In Prague on Sunday, President Obama committed his administration to putting us on a “trajectory” toward ...

US Military Officals: "Iran Has Enough Material To Build A Nuke"
2009-03-01 23:21:00 Great news isn't it?The top U.S. military official said Sunday he believes Iran has enough fissile material to build a nuclear weapon, but Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the Islamic Republic is a long way from having a bomb.Last week, the International Atomic Energy Agency revised its assessment of Iran's nuclear capabilitie, saying it was wrong in earlier reports about Iran's ability to enrich enough uranium to make anuclear weapon.Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said, "We think they do, quite frankly," when asked Sunday about Iran's capacity."Iran having a nuclear weapon I've believed for a long time is a very, very bad outcome for the region and for the world," Mullen said.But Gates said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that the Iranians are not close to getting a weapon at this time."They're not close to a stockpile, they're not close to a weapon at this point and so there is some time," he said when asked whether Tehran could be deterred from p...
More Nuke Nonsense From "Blow 'Em Up" Bolton
2009-02-19 00:28:00 The warmongering former UN rep senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute (of course) weighed in as follows at the L.A. Times today, on the matter of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton?s Asian trip and her comments on North Korea (and I also posted here)?(Secretary of State Clinton's) attitude is potentially more troubling than the dull repetitiveness of the policy, which invokes the importance of the six-party talks and the need to "get the negotiations back on track."Take, for example, her repeated references to "smart power," presumably meant to distinguish the brainy Obama team from its predecessor.Hey, if ?the shoe fits,? y?know (get it, shoe?)?The secretary's comments at a subsequent news teleconference only compounded the speech's lack of strategic breadth. Asked her assessment of the Agreed Framework, the Pyongyang-Washington agreement concluded during her husband's presidency, Clinton regretted that "the Bush administration completely walked away" from the agree...

More Nuke Double Talk From John W. McBush
2008-05-28 18:08:00 Jon Wolfsthal at Democracy Arsenal has posted what I think is a pretty good analysis of the speech given by “Senator Honor and Virtue” yesterday at the University of Colorado; Wolfsthal summarizes as follows…John McCain’s speech on nuclear weapons seems to adopt the narrowest of lenses in dealing with nuclear weapons. Moreover, his proposals – many of which might sound good – don’t match up with other things he has said on nuclear weapons, on Russia, on Iran and suggests he doesn’t really get the complexity of these issues. Lastly, the tone may be better, but many of the proposals—not to mention his language choices—are right out of George W. Bush’s play book. This may be a wolf in sheep’s clothing, but it is still a wolf.As Wolfsthal notes, McCain is trying to reposition the Repug “brand” as one that encourages talks and disarmament with other nations while still reserving the right to wage pre-emptive war whenever it damn well pleases.In particular, tho...

Cueto treading where Nuke LaLoosh has gone before
2008-05-17 01:30:00 Johnny C. had an interesting line today -- he gave up three hits, three earned runs and three homers. The kid sure is susceptible to the long ball. Still, today he was good enough the rest of the time for the win.Anyway, the Reds announcers talked a lot about a meeting this week during which Dusty Baker ordered Cueto not to shake off his catcher anymore. Apparently, the Reds coaches believe Cueto's recent troubles may have stemmed from the fact that he worries too much about what pitch to throw. (Either that or Cueto just plain sucks at pitch selection.) Regardless, it will be Bako (or Ross) calling the shots from here on out when Cueto's on the mound, a setup that worked fairly well today.But if Cueto starts ignoring his catcher again, will Bako go all Crash Davis on him and tip the batter off to what's coming?

Corey, Nuke LaLoosh, and Hell's Kitchen
2008-05-07 23:25:00 There are times when I watch a television show and after it ends I just sit there in amazement and wonder. And not in a good way. Look at last night's Hell's Kitchen. I understand, and have said before (and I'm sure will say again), that reality shows are highly edited. They are. It's the truth. Things can be cut in any number of ways. Good people can be made to look bad and bad people good. Incompetent people can appear like geniuses and vice versa. That's the power of editing. That being said, it appears as though Hell's Kitchen this year is saddled with a bunch of incompetent chefs. We're almost halfway through the season and only Ben and Bobby (Rock Jr., as I like to think of him) seem as though they might be pseudo-acceptable winners. But, even if they win I wouldn't want to eat in their restaurant.On the women's side, some of them have this odd strategy of trying to seduce the guys in order to make them easy targets. I've spent a lot of time thinking about that and I...

Juan Cole Calls BS on NK - Syria Nuke
2008-04-27 13:21:00 A reader of Juan Cole's calls bull on the CIA and US Administration's call that the Syrians are building a replica of the North Korean nuke plant that it was getting ready to go online. I am not a conspiracy nut, but there is much to be desired in this narrative, to say the least. Let's wait until we can see that there is any more evidence here.I am inclined to believe that this is a release of secret info by the hawks inside the Bush Administration who are trying to scuttle peace overtures with both Syria and North Korea with one stone.Syria has recently offered evidence that Israel is willing to give back the whole Golan, and other reports indicate that Israel is maybe going to speak with Hamas.

Congress ups ante on Nuke deal - Will Karat vote against Budget ?
2008-03-06 20:26:00 So to refresh everyone’s memory. We authored the first chapter of Project Karat back in August of 2007 it appeared that the CPI-Mafioso was keen on expanding the CPI-M’s base beyond Kerala and Bengal even if it means at the cost of a few tolerable losses in the interim. Don Prakash Karat was then aiming to achieve this by not just occuppying the space of the principal opposition in National Affairs but by pretty much setting the agenda and framing the debate for the next election. We had at that time said that BJP will be drawn into an election that is inconveniently timed and one which will be fought on issues defined by the CPI-M. Well then along came the second chapter of Project Karat in October of 2007 at the height of the impasse between the UPA and the Left and it appeared that the Manmohan Singh Government was on life support. At that time Offstumped had elucidated Karat’s three main objectives in taking things to the brink with the Congress. Karat has mainl...

A Little Nuke Music
2008-02-28 19:37:00 The New York Philharmonic?s concert in Pyongyang was a tantalizing taste of what might be in America?s relationship with North Korea. It was also a reminder of the missteps and dangerously wrongheaded judgments that have kept the two countries apart and at saber-point for more than a half century. The Philharmonic drew sustained applause and even some tears, playing Gershwin, a beloved Korean folk song and the two countries? national anthems. The concert would have had even more significance if it could have celebrated continuing progress toward shuttering North Korea?s nuclear weapons program. That effort unfortunately has stalled, and the fault ? at least this time ? is undeniably Pyongyang?s. It would take a serious diplomatic push by the Bush administration and the leaders of China, Russia, Japan and South Korea to ensure that it does not fall apart. North Korea agreed last year to disable its Yongbyon nuclear reactor and produce a ?complete and correct? accounting of all its...

Mismanagement not energy crisis, says nuke society
2008-02-24 12:23:00 Academics joined forces Saturday to oppose a plan to build a "dangerous" nuclear power plant, dismissing the government's claim Indonesia is facing an energy crisis.At a gathering at the Driyarkara Institute of Philosophy and Social Sciences, Central Jakarta, they said "mismanagement and incorrect energy policy" was what had actually occurred.They demanded that the government cancel a plan to construct a nuclear power plant on the Muria Peninsula in Central Java, saying it was too risky and that Indonesia wasn't ready yet."Indonesia has other alternative energy sources, such as geothermal and tide flows. Why doesn't the government develop these instead of building such a high-risk nuclear plant?" said group member Sonny Keraf, who is a former state minister for the environment.Indonesia News Blog: http://indosnesos.blogspot.com-
