Iraq passed the 3 million barrels of oil per day/ produced for the first time since 1979..
They are planning to raise that to 12 million per day by 2017.. $100 plus per barrel.. No sanctions.. No tyrant starting a war every decade.. Their problems are between their sects and tribes.. Always were always will be.. If Saddam had died the year before the war started they would have still slaughtered each other. Look at what happened in the former Yugoslavia when dictator TITO died.. Slaughter.. ethnic cleansing.. Iraq would have been no different.. The minority Sunni had oppressed the majority Shia since the 50s.. It was a powder keg ready to explode.. |

QUOTE: Well I cant possibly say this any better than a poster from the linked sight.. Sadly most Republicans will blame Obama rather then look at the years 2001 to January 2009. Romney and his handlers as well as the Republican party care about one thing, getting elected or re-elected. The Republican party will change history as many times as needed to insure the voters are given the same big lie. It was Goering who said if you tell the people the same big lie often enough the lie becomes a truth. Obama inherited a mess from Bush, yet you ask a Republican "what about Bush" and the common reply is "Who is Bush". You do not see Bush off the Crawford range, you do not see him endorsing anyone. He is a plague best left hidden. Thank you for a great piece Mr. Krugman. 3 years and 3 months in office. 2 years with an overwhelming dumbocrat congress.. spending spending spending lost our AAA credit rating.. the dollar is virtually worthless.. his financial reform plan has the banks bigger than they ever were.. making more money than they ever had.. go ahead blame Bush.. you are gonna lose real bad with this strategy..

QUOTE: It was not demolished "from the top down." Even the NIST report acknowledges that. I guess you didn't even read that. I have repeated several times why there was textbook reasons to investigate for and suspect explosives and you guys continue to just ignore my posts and the evidence. Also, you are assuming certain types of explosives would have to have been used, and that they had to be installed a certain way and that had to be very loud-- as if this was your normal run of the mill controlled demolition. It was not. This attack was pulled off not by Muslim fanatics but by a very high tech organization of world terrorists who could have access to technology you would not suspect. Explosions were heard and felt on the bottom lower floors by witnesses BEFORE THE PLANES HIT THE TOWER -- and they were reported. Testimony was just completely ignored. That is not a proper investigation. That is cover-up. Just because the planes hit the towers at the higher floors does not mean that is what caused the collapse. (That was more like a distraction.) Another good reason for investigating and looking for explosives other than the fact that the manual requires it, is that the first attack on the towers used explosives. (It's called M.O.) But as I said, they didn't even look. They didn't examine the real evidence, they came to their conclusions via computer simulation. That is not scientific and that can easily be compromise according to what kind information they program into it. They admitted that they did not even know much about the building being up to code. Anyway it is clear that none of the so-called scientists want to challenge the status quo even though the Bush administration has compromised the whole scientific community. If this is not corrected, scientists will have no clout whatsoever in the future and no one will listen to them when they are under the control of the administration. It would have been much easier to use another truck bomb than some elaborate multifaceted plan that could easily gone wrong. A truck bomb could have lowered the total number of conspirators and you could have used demolition charges at the base and the parking garage to bring down the building.. As far as the towers are concerned the collapse sequence initiated at the impact points and the buildings collapsed from the top down.. The debris that fell off the top of the buildings hit the ground well before the floors were finished collapsing. NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THE BUILDING WAS COLLAPSED FROM THE BOTTOM.. |

QUOTE: Just how stupid does Mitt Romney think we are? If you’ve been following his campaign from the beginning, that’s a question you have probably asked many times. But the question was raised with particular force last week, when Mr. Romney tried to make a closed drywall factory in Ohio a symbol of the Obama administration’s economic failure. It was a symbol, all right — but not in the way he intended. First of all, many reporters quickly noted a point that Mr. Romney somehow failed to mention: George W. Bush, not Barack Obama, was president when the factory in question was closed. Does the Romney campaign expect Americans to blame President Obama for his predecessor’s policy failure? http://readersupportednews.org/off-site-opinion-section/72-72/11088-focus-how-stupid-does-romney-think-we-are where are all those shovel ready or green jobs that we were promised if the congress just passed the stimulus bill? the jobs obama has produced are in the retail sector selling chinese made garbage.. three years in office mr krugman.. record foreclosures.. anemic growth.. scandal after scandal..

QUOTE: QUOTE: My question is why would the official story go to such great lengths to ignore the possibility of explosives particularly since the first attempt to bring down the towers did use explosives? Why refuse to even consider the possibility? Why fail to even look for evidence of explosives or controlled demolition when so many features pointed to that as the most likely hypothesis? Why? The answer to that is because that would have opened a big can of worms about the security company for the WTC as they investigated how it would be possible to plant explosives in the key places needed. They would have then found that Marvin Bush was connected. Paranoid? Nope. Just routine investigation. Because of the lack of a reason to suspect explosives. You just keep ignoring these facts. Its not hard to comprehend. To get to the supports they would have to ship down walls and use tons of explosives and wires. There is no way that would go unnoticed and would take tons of time. There would also be cascading explosions heard for miles around. When i was in Korea they were blowing some stuff up in the mountain near my gfs parents house and it woke me up every morning. That was just a little tnt and not nearly equal to what would be used to take down a building. Not to mention no one has ever demolished a building that large or that any building has ever been demolished from the top down.. |

You are assuming the wrong motive for 9/11. It was not specifically to create a wave of support for the invasion of Iraq. I don't know where that ridiculous theory came from. It does not even make a lot of sense. One motive, and a very obvious one, is that 9/11 was the primary event that allowed the Patriot act to pass very quickly. The patriot act gives the office of the President sweeping powers which will pave the way for the future dictator of this country and maybe the world. It had nothing to do with Iraq. That was a bonus for Bush and Americans were riled up and just wanted to kick some butt. People are so easy to manipulate into war.... its sad.

They were just following orders from the COMPANY. THE COMPANY is responsible for the attack on 9/11. The Patriot Act?

QUOTE: NIST'S IGNORING OF PHYSICAL EVIDENCE FOR EXPLOSIVES. The evidence for explosives that NIST ignored consists of two general types, testimonial and physical. There were seven features of the collapse of WTC7 that are also common features of controlled implosions, namely that the collapse began at the bottom, started suddenly, was total, was vertical, occured in virtual free fall, involved the pulverization of much of the concrete, and resulted in a relatively small pile of debris. These features, which can all be seen in videos of WTC7's collapse, are acknowledged by NIST. But there are two other features, which can also be seen on videos that NIST does not acknowledge: apparent demolition squibs and windows that were blown out at the onset of the collapse. Defenders of the official account typically try to claim that these high-velocity ejections of debris were simply caused by compression after the floors began to collapse. NIST gave this explanation as to why the "puffs of smoke" as it called them, did not provide evidence of controlled demolition: "The falling mass of the building compressed the air ahead of it - much like the action of a piston - forcing smoke and debris out the windows as the stories below failed sequentially." However this explanation for the apparent demolition squibs from the Twin Towers does not fit the descriptions given by several witnesses. For example, firefighter James Curran said: "I looked back and I heard like every floor went chu-chu-chu...Everything was getting blown out of the floor before it actually collapsed." If material was being blown out from floors before the floors collapsed, then the ejections cannot be explained as resulting from compressed air caused by the collapse. Videos of the collapses of the Twin Towers show that bursts of debris ejected from point-like sources sometimes occurred on floor LONG before the collapse front reached them. Some of the bursts occurred "at levels twenty to thirty floors below a "collapse" front. This same problem exists with regard to the bursts of debris ejected during the collapse of WTC7. "The bursts coming from the upper floors of WTC7 occurred at a time when the upper floors have evidently not moved relative to one another." The official reports lack an explanation for these squibs. This remains true today. NIST, in fact, did not even try to explain the apparent squibs coming out of WTC7. There is not a single instance in their 729 page reportof the word "squib." or "puff." This question is also not addressed in its "Questions and Answers" about the NIST WTC7 Investigation. So having given an inadequate explanation of the squibs that appeared during the collapses of the Twin Towers, NIST simply ignored the squibs that are visible in videos of the collapse of WTC7. It Looks Like A Controlled Demolition What else is a large building collapse going to look like? Until 9-11, our only experience in bringing down very large buildings was controlled demolition. The highest buildings (apart from broadcast towers) brought down were in the 30 story range. Once the building starts to fall, the physics is going to be the same regardless of the initial cause. So alleged similarities between 9-11 and controlled demolitions prove nothing. You might as well argue that the collapse of Mount St. Helens in 1980 was set off by explosives because it looked just like a landslide caused by explosives. One thing radically different about 9-11 is that controlled demolitions always set off charges low in the structure and let the weight of the building do the rest. Nobody ever set off charges high in a building to pancake the stories beneath. So why resort to a radical and unproven method if you want to bring down the World Trade Center? Probably the most revealing commentary on the controlled demolition theory is Bringing Down The House by Michael Satchell in US News and World Report (June 30, 2003). This article describes the work of Controlled Demolition Inc., far and away the world leaders in controlled demolition, and Mark and Doug Loizeaux, who run it. Like most Americans, the Loizeauxs were transfixed by the televised scenes of destruction shortly after the first jet struck. But as experts in buildings' vulnerabilities, they knew right away what few Americans realized. "I told Doug immediately that the tower was coming down, and when the second tower was hit, that it would follow," remembers Mark. Horrified, the Loizeaux brothers watched first responders streaming into the doomed towers and tried frantically, and unsuccessfully, to phone in warnings. In the following days, CDI was called to ground zero to consult on safety and develop plans for demolition and debris removal. What if the twin towers, though badly damaged, had somehow remained standing? Without doubt, the Loizeaux family would have been called upon to bring them down. "Quite simply," says Mark in a rare moment of introspective uncertainty, "I don't know how we would have done it." http://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/pseudosc/911nutphysics.htm |

September 11 and the psychological roots of conspiracy theories.
Implausible visions of a lunatic fringe.. Rather than speculating about the existence of specific conspiracies, I find a far more intriguing topic to be the psychology behind conspiracy thinking. Fortunately, an excellent book called Empire of Conspiracy by Tim Melley explores this issue. Melley seeks to explain why conspiracy theories and paranoia have become so pervasive in American culture in recent decades. He discusses some of the paranoia behind our obsessions with political assassinations, gender and race relations, stalkers, mind control, bureaucracies, and the power of corporations and governments. Melley proposes that conspiracy thinking arises from a combination of two factors, when someone: 1) holds strong individualist values and 2) lacks a sense of control. The first attribute refers to people who care deeply about an individual's right to make their own choices and direct their own lives without interference or obligations to a larger system (like the government). But combine this with a sense of powerlessness in one's own life, and you get what Melley calls agency panic, "intense anxiety about an apparent loss of autonomy" to outside forces or regulators. When fervent individualists feel that they cannot exercise their independence, they experience a crisis and assume that larger forces are to blame for usurping this freedom. "For one who refuses to relinquish the assumptions of liberal individualism, such newly revealed forms of regulation frequently seem so unacceptable or unbelievable that they can only be met with anxiety, melodrama, or panic." Although Melley doesn't present any empirical data to show that conspiracy thinking has been increasing for these reasons, some research by psychologist Jean Twenge is consistent with his hypotheses. Twenge's research examines how Americans' personality traits have been changing over the past several decades. She reviews the results of hundreds of studies published from the 1960s through the end of the century, looking at the personality scores for each year. For example, she finds that trait anxiety (or neuroticism) has been rising dramatically in both children and adults over this period. In another study, she shows that people have come to hold an increasingly stronger external "locus of control"; this refers to the feeling that external forces are determining what happens to you, as opposed to an internal locus of control, the feeling that you dictate your own outcomes. Twenge suggests that the stronger external locus of control reflects our ever-increasing exposure to uncontrollable events and a rise in the "victim mentality" of our culture. (Is this sounding familiar?) http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-narcissus-in-all-us/200809/paranoia-and-the-roots-conspiracy-theories Implausible visions of a lunatic fringe.. indeed.. |

QUOTE: Do you believe there is a U.S. government cover-up surrounding 9/11? Yes 89% 9447 votes No 11% 1201 votes Total: 10648 votes http://www.cnn.com/POLLSERVER/results/14340.exclude.html its funny how they treat the 911 skepetics like they are some type of fringe minority when in fact this poll indicates the exact opposit. But of course that would be reality based thinking something that is clearly lacking in many posters. Last week, in one of the latest failed attempts to close the loop on political conspiracies, Ben Smith blogged one of the internals from the definitive 2006 Scripps poll on "9/11 Trutherism." "How likely is it that people in the federal government either assisted in the 9/11 attacks or took no action to stop the attacks because they wanted the United States to go to war in the Middle East?" the poll asked. A full 22.6% of Democrats said it was "very likely." Another 28.2% called it "somewhat likely." This question is open to just a little misinterpretation. After all, it's well known, and true, that there were unspecific warnings about a mounting terrorist attack and they were not followed up on. But I've now seen the other questions and crosstabs from the poll. There were more specific conspiracy scenarios, and Democrats disproportionately agreed with them. How likely is it that the Pentagon was not struck by an airliner captured by terrorists but instead was hit by a cruise missile fired by the United States military? Only 11.9 percent of all voters believed that this was "somewhat" or "very" likely, but 21.1 percent of Democrats did. How likely is it that the collapse of the Twin Towers in New York was aided by explosives secretly planted in the building? A full 15.9 percent of all voters bought that; the number rose to 24.8 percent among Democrats. http://www.slate.com/content/slate/blogs/weigel/2011/04/25/democrats_and_trutherism.html |
