China, India, Brazil and South Africa strike climate legislation deal. I'd swear that the NY Times was never as critical of George Walker Bush for his zero international climate treaties as they were of Barack Hussein Obama for his one, non-binding agreement. If Russia Today's newscasts are any indication, Russia denies the existence of global warming as much as Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma. "Can we send him to Russia, please, Ma, can we, can we?" The NY Times fails to mention it.
More stories of desecration in Iraq, this time of a Chaldean (Nestorian?) Church near Mosul and the Biblical city of Nineveh. The 101st Airborne decided, out of profound humility, to paint their "Screaming Eagles" logo on the wall. Way To Go, Cultural Sensitivity Training!
The Times reports that non-profit medical center advertising claims are not reviewed for accuracy. Hey, sorta like the NY Times itself. I mean, it would be nice if their own editors did that sort of thing.
Per their long history, including places like Florida and Buffalo, the U.S. has entrapped more psychotic folk willing to earn lots of money, even if it happens to be for al-Qaeda. These three Malians are obviously crackpots, saying al-Qaeda would "starve" without them. Worse yet, they may have actually been involved in smuggling people into Europe. Now that would have been something to keep tabs on! Entrapment, illegal to do against us, them, not so much.
Actual news: Pakistani Supreme Court trying to overthrow results of election by opening cases against "thousands" of politicians in the current Pakistani People's Party government. Advanced Pakistani subject matter readers can get up to speed here. Intermediate readers are recommended to read this. These two are short and cover the basics.
Obama not an idiot! Unlike some Presidents of the last 5 years I could name. Preventing nuclear terrorism, not new, mini-nuke bunker busters, is moving to the fore of our nuclear policy. In related news, the U.S. and Russia are set to make another treaty reducing the world's nuclear arsenal. The NY Times reports the next step, since stockpiles are getting fairly low, would have to involve the other permanent members of the Security Council.
There were only a few hundred "hard-corps" members of al-Qaeda back in 2001. Now, the U.S. insists, there are so many in Yemen we have to fire missiles into the country to deal with the problem. No chance that could backfire, right?
Kit Seelye, per usual, embarrasses the NYT. Is she **cking someone, or lots of someones, to keep her job? Is it blackmail?
