October 15, 2014 -- The Surreal Continues ... "It's surreal to watch our president act as if terrorist organizations, autocracies and outright dictatorships are morally superior to Israel's rule-of-law democracy." -- Ralph Peters, New York Post, An Early Washington Post Warning About Putin ... The Post, in a lead editorial, warned about the need to "deter further Russian aggression" so "the Kremlin" will not gain "a victory for its neo-imperialist project." LPR Asks ... How can same day registration not be an invitation to voter fraud? LPR Says ... Show me a politician who says he must spend lots of time fundraising, and I will show you a politician whose major concern is re-election, not public service. Sleeping Giant -- How did this turn out for you? "After retrieving control of Congress for the first time in a dozen years, Democrats will set out to re-define the domestic agenda through policies they say would address the economic needs of middle- and working-class Americans." |
October 1, 2014 -- West Wing Wings It ... Four words to describe White House strategy in confronting ISIS or ISIL or Daesh -- whatever. By the way, John Batchelor lately referred to the area barbarianized by ISIS by its pre-World War I name: Mesopotamia. This reminds LPR of the song by the late Peter Allen how "everything old is new again." A Comment on Civilian Casualties by an American World War II Air Force General ... "[V]ital [German] targets were often located in or near centers of population. It was clear to all of us that many civilians would be killed or rendered homeless when such targets were attacked. We never permitted this factor to spare a vital targets." Gen. Ira C. Eaker, Commander, US Eighth Air Force, October 1942 to January 1944, in his Introduction to "The Destruction of Dresden," by David Irving. p.6.
