Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the funds, which would be spent over a decade, were needed to "rebuild and sustain America's aging nuclear stockpile."

Obama Dresses Down the Military, but What's Changed?

William J. Astore, Truthout: "Is Obama the reincarnation of Harry 'the buck stops here' Truman? Has he brought rebellious generals to heel? Evidence suggests otherwise. First, under Obama the U.S. military has gotten everything it could've possibly wanted, and more: rising defense budgets, more soldiers and Marines added to the ranks, and virtually uncontested control over American foreign policy in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere."

(And Learned to Love It)

By Gordon Arnaut

Right now, the US Congress is holding hearings about bank wrongdoing. It is very entertaining kabuki theatre, but nothing will change. The Goldman chief (thief?) and his cohorts may take a bit of a grilling, but behind the scenes his bagmen are funnelling millions of dollars into the campaign trunks of every representative, senator (or likely hopeful) in the land.

Two Americas

By Cindy Sheehan

The America that I belong to buys into the Myth that we don't deserve to have healthy food, education, health care, a warm and non-leaking roof over our heads, without living as debt slaves, because we don't belong in the privileged "elite" class.

Right Wing Talking Points

Socialist Puppet? Christ fed multitudes with bread and fish, for free (Mark 6:30-44). This giveaway reveals likely support for welfare programs. And where did this low wage earner obtain all this food? From powerful friends to whom he may be beholden if confirmed as a Justice?

Gulf Rig's Owner Invokes 1851 Law to Limit Liability

Scott Hiaasen, Miami Herald: "Transocean, Ltd., the Switzerland-based offshore contractor that owned the Deepwater Horizon floating drilling rig, has asked a federal court in Houston to limit its liability from the oil spill to less than $27 million."

The Politics of Disaster: Will Gulf Tragedy Bring Real Change?

Chris Kromm, Facing South: "The disaster has clearly changed the offshore oil debate. After two years of 'drill, baby, drill,' the Obama administration announced just last March that it was opening vast new expenses of water along the Atlantic coast, Gulf of Mexico and north coast of Alaska to oil and gas projects."

The 20th century was a century of war. In August 1914, the peace of Europe was shattered. The United States, which had remained apart from major foreign wars for a century, was drawn in. Tragically, the United States has been at war many times since then: World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. It is not something Americans a century ago would have expected when they thought World War I would be the ‘war to end all wars.’ The 21st century, unfortunately, does not look any better. Having inherited two wars, President Obama is trying to extricate America from one war in Iraq to concentrate on another in Afghanistan. But a third war is looming: Iran...

An alarming sign

Center for a Stateless Society

I cringe when I hear the words ‘thank you for your service.’ I’m sure that many people in military uniform joined out of a sincere, albeit misguided, belief that that the wars they were fighting were in some sense to defend American lives and freedom. But it’s utterly nonsensical. Every time I hear someone say the troops in Iraq are ‘fighting for your right’ to do this or that, or ‘fighting for our freedom,’ I have to restrain myself from going ballistic. Gary Trudeau even (even?) got into the act. In a recent Doonesbury strip, the wounded Iraq vet kid with the stutter told one of the open-carry people at Starbucks ‘I spent two years behind an M-60 defending your right to be a moron about guns.’ No kidding? How exactly would those guys’ rights to pack heat at Starbucks have been threatened if Bush hadn’t invaded Iraq?

Obama’s natural choice of Kagan

Campaign For Liberty
by Glenn Greenwald

It’s anything but surprising that President Obama has chosen Elena Kagan to replace John Paul Stevens on the Supreme Court. Nothing is a better fit for this White House than a blank slate, institution-loyal, seemingly principle-free careerist who spent the last 15 months as the Obama administration’s lawyer vigorously defending every one of his assertions of extremely broad executive authority...

Kagan helped shield Saudis from 9/11 lawsuits

Elena Kagan, President Barack Obama's latest nominee to the Supreme Court, helped protect the Saudi royal family from lawsuits that sought to hold al Qaeda financiers responsible in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

Kagan: Another radical masquerading as a moderate

by Jim Kouri

While President Barack Obama's sycophants within the mainstream media are attempting to paint the President's nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court, Elena Kagan, as a moderate, it's the blogosphere and talk radio that are exposing her radical politics which are more akin to those of Obama than those of the Founding Fathers. For example, during the Bush Administration's battle against........

Stop bailing out the banks and financiers. Let them fall. In their place, set up public non-profit banking institutions, similar to credit unions, and ban the hedge funds, currency manipulators, and other speculators as pirates who constitute a threat to human society.
