Obama Blames Rush Limbaugh On Indiana Defeat

Rush Limbaugh is a fucking idiot and listening to him is a waste of time.

His incentive for Operation Chaos before was to get Clinton nominated because the GOP can fight against the Clintons if McCain was the GOP nominee, but they lack ammunition to attack Obama - he makes McCain looks irrelevant.

The only way the GOP can win is to fuck up the Dems enough for the GOP to have a shot. Clinton staying on is only creating political rifts that can exploited by the GOP to fracture a concrete Democratic run in November.

John Bolton: We Must Bomb Iran Now

The Taliban being aided by the Iranians is the dumbest shit faced lie ever pushed out by these talking heads.

Post collapse of the USSR, the US interest in Afghanistan evaporated, the aid ceased and the country was left without a concrete head of state owing to the Soviet-Afghan war. Warlords arose each vying for power, Pakistan got heavily involved in the Pashtun regions and cultivated the growth of the Taliban via it's Afghan War ISI connections, a Pashtun state influenced by Pakistan would be a lucrative accomplishment for such a strategically located nation.

Support also came from Saudi Arabia as they supported a creation of a Islamic Sunni Sharia state regardless of how flawed the Taliban interpretation of Islam was. Iran being a Shia state was not comfortable with such a development, and supported the warlords of the North and the previous government. To a lesser degree other Central Asian nations got involved.

Afghanistan could lead to lucrative Oil and Gas pipelines from the former Central Asian Nations to ports in Pakistan or Iran.

What happened over the next few years was a great game being played between the Central Asian States, Pakistan, Iran and Saudi Arabia. Each trying to influence the Taliban or the warlords depending on who was aligned with their interests. However the Taliban listened to no one really, while basically taking over the entire country through constant war.

Iran supported more moderate or rather alternative forces to the Taliban (one can't claim any real democratic force was in play). Post 9/11 and the incursion of US forces, Iran also provided ample assistance to the Karzai government, a fact rarely reported on by the media or Washington because it dismantles the war driving narrative.

Iran never supported the Taliban.

To claim such a thing shows either a remarkable misunderstanding of the situation on the ground within its historical context or bold lies being pushed to create a larger bogey man out of Iran.

I believe it's a combination of both.

PS: If you desire a deeper understanding of how the Taliban developed and Afghanistan in the early to late 90s, I recommend Ahmed Rashid's Taliban: Militant Islam, Oil and Fundamentalism in Central Asia.

Paul Weller - One x One

share your dreams
give us all the beam we need
like electric light
in a ballroom scene
going one x one

shed your chains
to earth like dew and all remain
forever in another vein
as you slip into another dream

don't fear not
not where you tread
fear only- the lies you're fed

head that sign
for all of us who wait in line
waiting for the words to rhyme
bringing on a brand new day

don't fear not
not where you tread
fear only- the lies you're fed

so dance little dancer
like you've never danced before
it's just a moment
we're going through
this is the new dance that we do
so sing little brother
and turn on everyone
lift are spirits high
to a place we need to find

share your dreams
give us all the beam we need
like electric light
in a ballroom scene
going one x one

shed your chains
to earth like dew and all remain
forever in another vein
going on one x one
