Did you know that Pakistan’s primo intelligence agency ISI continues to inform and train the Taliban?  Well, apparently this has been going on for some time says the London School of Economics which just released a report on this little relationship (more here).  Meanwhile we have been pumping billions into Pakistan to buy their tenuous ‘friendship’,  and the bastards are blatantly double-crossing us.  For all we know, we’re directly funding both sides of the Afghanistan war.  Before we thought that only the Saudis and Iranians kept those guys in beans and bullets.  (We, of course, know that Afghanistan's Karzai is rotten to the core.)  Nobody made a peep, that I could tell, about this just released report.

And what about Tory MPs telling their PM David Cameron that Britain’s socialist programs, especially its National Health Service, are taking the country on the road to ruin.  Cameron's caught in the middle of hard facts and political promises.  As reported by the London Times (online here), the MPs have called for massive cutbacks and privatization in order to take their country off the Greek path.  Who picked that up, especially here where the supporters of Obamacare have been lathering over the glories of NHS as an exemplar of how a civilized government runs healthcare?  Again nothing.

Does the Obama administration really control all debate in the country, or is Fox News just going limp?  Go figger.

    It appears they do ceratinly have some control over the media, when they attack Fox it does sound somewhat Chavez like

    Mr. Rebane, the first part of your commentary about Pakistan angers me too much to even respond except to say the area has a long held deserved reputation of being a den of thieves. The second part is a bit curious. The latest buzz word is austerity. The UK has been using the term more frequently, as well as Germany, Poland, Spain, Romania, and former Soviet states. Even the IMF used it last week, of all people. The Canadian Ministry said last week that within 5 years 70% of the Canadian budget with be consumed by health care. Latest news is 51% of American now insured workers will lose their current health care plan and be forced into Obamacare by 2013. I work. My employer pays 83% of my heath care (down from 92% ten years ago). They could dump me, pay the fine, give me 5K in compensation, saving the employer thousands and I would not blame them. Of course that 5k would come with an additional 25% health care tax. What, me worry?

    Great News!…Vast mineral deposits in Afghanistan! (although this has been known for years.) Not as sexy as oil, but another reason to continue the undeclared war.
