Mad CowIf Condi is going around saying that the UNSC has approved a deadline for Iranian compliance with IAEA demands, then just what is that deadline supposed to be? Does she mention a specific date? If there really was no deadline approved, then how does she expect to get away with such an outrageous lie?~ … Continue reading “Backtalk, May 3, 2006”

Why We Cannot Talk With Hamas It always amuses me to hear the phrase “the Palestinians don’t recognize Israel’s right to exist.” As if Israel ever seriously considered an independent Palestine as having a right to exist. Allowing the Israelis to divide the historic Palestine between themselves and the Palestinians would be like allowing a … Continue reading “Backtalk, April 26, 2006”

America’s Newest Strategic PartnerLots of talk at your site (Gordon Prather and others) about what a dumb nuclear deal Bush made with India. How it doesn’t safeguard anything since India’s military reactors are not part of the deal, only the “domestic” reactors are (the ones painted in pastels). So India gets the benefit of receiving … Continue reading “Backtalk, April 20, 2006”

Networks, Terrorism, and Global InsurgencyMr. Deliso,It is way past time to stop the bullsh*t. Do not call them “private military contractors,” nor “private security contractors.” Call them what they are: mercenaries! Guns for hire. Why should I give a sh*t if some “hired gun” is killed? American troops being killed, that gets my attention. I … Continue reading “Backtalk, April 12, 2006”

Go See V for Vendetta Kudos to Justin Raimondo for his article on V for Vendetta. I wanted to add my voice to the (hopefully large) number of people who HIGHLY RECOMMEND reading the actual graphic novel. Mr. Alan Moore is, as will be evident, a genius, and his book is ten times better than … Continue reading “Backtalk, April 7, 2006”

The Lobby Strikes Back I am writing to clarify issues raised in your March 31 Web post in regards to a paper by professor Stephen Walt of the Kennedy School of Government and his co-author, John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago. Stephen Walt is the academic dean, not the dean, of the Kennedy School … Continue reading “Backtalk, April 4, 2006”

A Collapsing PresidencyI judge people by their records. The only man who really predicted everything that has happened in the last four years BEFORE it happened was Paul Craig Roberts.I am a Republican and a classical conservative. Paul Craig Roberts is my number one hero in life. I consider every article he writes to be … Continue reading “Backtalk, March 24, 2006”

Invictus As a Serb from Belgrade who, like many of my compatriots, suffered heavily from the tyranny of Milosevic’s criminal regime, I find Nebojsa Malic’s comments on this site deeply insulting and outrageously misleading. For example, the way Malic regularly describes the events on Oct. 5, 2000, and the democratic changes that followed can only … Continue reading “Backtalk, March 22, 2006”

Untitled Document Was Serbia a Practice Run for Iraq?Thank you Mr. Paul Craig Roberts for being a light in the darkness, writing of the American experience for the last 20 years.In my opinion, attacking Serbia and winning the Balkans was an integral part of getting the agenda to run the oil and gas pipeline from … Continue reading “Backtalk, March 16, 2006”

Is the IOB DOA? As the originator of the “Iran Oil Bourse” I hope you can spare me some space to comment in relation to Ms. Berg’s recent articles. The original concept five or so years ago was not of an “Iran Oil Bourse” but of a “Middle East Energy Exchange” providing a new Gulf … Continue reading “Backtalk, March 9, 2006”
