Another interesting read from the New Yorker

Hersh is a liar plain and simple. I heard him live on an NPR affiliate about a week ago. During his interview he said that he "Called one of his buddies who is a high level planner in the USAF." He had to call him "late at night" because during daytime hours his home phone was monitored. With regards to the usage of CAS in Fallujah he said his buddy picked up the phone already knowing it was Hersh (probably because the call was 'late at night' - oooooo how sinister) and answered the phone by saying "Stalingrad, how may I help you?".

He then went on to explain that his buddy - a senior USAF officer used the name Stalingrad because that is what happened in Fallujah. The USAF bombed indescriminately apparently.

He's about as level headed, informed, and honest as Ramsey Clark.

The gloves are off. You chant "death to America", sponser terrorism and are aquiring nuclear weapons? Guess what, you are our enemy and we are going to deal with you.

Iran and Syria are logical next steps.

I figure we might as well deal with them now, when we can rather than wait.



WOW, NUKE are you still breathing heavily over the thought of "draft"?
Wonder if anyone dares to as much as whisper it, without busting the whole Bubble....

Not this week, no.

Oh yeah, I think so. Way less People Magazine. Gotta give her credit for clearin' the cobwebs, but she went too far. It's a pretty decent balance now imho.

They are diaeresis marks, indicating that the vowel is to be pronounced separately. Like in coördinate, naïve etc.
