Overnight Open Thread (6-15-2014)Some of my earliest political memories involve the accelerating crises that began to hit the US in late 1978 under the hapless Carter administration along with the fundamentally disturbing sense that the adults in charge of the country were out of ideas as well as resolve and simply counting on a 'long continued history of existence' and desperation moves done in denial to save things. There's nothing in place available to stop al-Qaeda. The forces that might have are locked up in the Southwest Asia, sustained at the mercy of Russia and Pakistan. Obama has been faked out; the AQ have gone around him for a layup to the basket. He may lose Iraq and its border with Syria before the year ends. Afghanistan's fall will follow almost immediately thereafter, behind the last American troops, whose safe exit from the landlocked country is now by no means guaranteed. The Russians lost more than 500 men going out in 1989 - and they only had to cross a land border a short distance away. ...It's like Vietnam all over again, except this time the NVA are continuing the attack all the way to New York. And what would 1979: The Sequel be without a modern Mariel boatlift of uncontrolled immigration into the US. Here are the photos that the Obama administration doesn't want you to see: From the good ole days i.e. 3 weeks ago: How 21st Century Wars End Under Democratic Presidents As a kid reading history I used to always wonder why we let the fall of Vietnam be such a relentless and utterly ignominious humiliation when we were the strongest nation in the world and still had so many military forces available in the region. But now I guess I have a better understanding of how these things happen: it's really about psychology and ideology and not so much military strength. Baghdad has not yet fallen. It may never fall. But prospect should make people sit up and wonder whether they understand the meaning of the word "defeat". It's not just a word or military phrase, but a condition of unutterable loss and subjection. It is humiliation distilled. It is total abjection. ![]() ![]()
The Kurds Have Decided to, ah, 'Stabilize' Kirkuk Iraqi Kurdish forces say they have taken full control of the northern oil city of Kirkuk as the army flees before an Islamist offensive nearby. PPS: Annnnd there's the Kurds walking into the K1 base and leaving with all the things. Including the tanks. Which will no doubt all be lost over the next week, in a series of tragic canoe accidents. I'm thinking maybe we should put the Kurds in charge of all of Iraq (who gives a fuck what Turkey thinks these days) given their 20+ year track record of running their own affairs like normal non-crazy people. Biden in 2010: Iraq Will Be 'One of the Greatest Achievements' of The Obama Administration Joe Biden: Never right on a single foreign policy issue in 40+ years in Congress. Like two years dude. Genius and Chaos in the AZ-7 Race On Aug. 26, Democratic voters in Arizona will choose a successor to 7th Congressional District Rep. Ed Pastor. It's a safe, blue seat, covering the most liberal parts of Phoenix and Glendale. And it's heavily Hispanic. That's what led a Republican trickster named Scott Fistler to pay $319 to legally change his name, to "Cesar Chavez," and attempt to get on the ballot. And then the story proceeds to get even funnier with name changes to name changes and more charges of name changes. Chelsea Clinton 'Dead Broke' After Getting Paid $600,000 by NBC Chelsea Clinton earned an annual salary of $600,000 at NBC News before switching to a month-to-month contract earlier this year, sources with knowledge of the agreement told POLITICO.
