Iran won Iraqi support for its efforts to oppose a U.S.-led military strike on Syria during a visit to Baghdad on Sunday by the new Iranian foreign minister, highlighting how close the two countries have grown since U.S. forces withdrew in 2011. Speaking during his first visit abroad since he was appointed last month, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javed Zarif warned that U.S. intervention in Syria risks igniting a regionwide war. ?Those who are short-sighted and are beating the drums of war are starting a fire that will burn everyone,?

But King Barry tore that asunder against military advice as soon as he could and now look where we?re at. Dumber and more dangerous than J. Carter.

But how about today? Iraq, not stable itself, can hardly welcome more refugees coming out of Syria. So why back Obama and bombing? ??Click Here if you Like this Comment Below, you will find ...

The U.S. government insists it has the intelligence to prove it, but the American public has yet to see a single piece of concrete evidence ? no satellite imagery, no transcripts of Syrian military communications ? connecting the government of President Bashar Assad to the alleged chemical weapons attack last month that killed hundreds of people. In the absence of such evidence, Damascus and its ally Russia have aggressively pushed another scenario: that rebels carried out the Aug. 21 chemical attack. Neither has produced evidence for that case, either. That?s left more questions than answers as the U.S.

Retired Justice Sandra Day O?Connor, in Boise, laments ?alarming degree of public ignorance? Idaho Statesman [Boise. ID], by Katie Terhune??? Original Article Posted By: NorthernDog- 9/7/2013 10:39:37 PM ??? Post Reply Two-thirds of Americans cannot name a single Supreme Court justice, former Justice Sandra Day O?Connor told the crowd that packed into a Boise State ballroom to hear her Thursday. About one-third can name the three branches of government. Fewer than one-fifth of high school seniors can explain how citizen participation benefits democracy. (Snip) That ignorance starts in the earliest years of a child?s schooling, she said, but often continues all the way through college and graduate school. O?Connor argued that learning about citizenship is just as important for American children as learning multiplication or how to write their names.

The Colorado Department of Public Health has launched an investigation into an outbreak of illnesses at hospitals that may be tied to the dangerous substance. (Snip) Known as K2, Spice, Black Mamba, Mr. Smiley and Blaze, among other things, synthetic marijuana can have more serious consequences than regular marijuana, which is legal in Colorado. These synthetic cannabinoids are a blend of plant and herbal materials that have been sprayed with chemicals, producing an extra toxicity, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

President Obama raced home on Friday to confront one of the biggest tests of his presidency as he ramped up a campaign to persuade Congress to support airstrikes against Syria that many world leaders he had consulted declined to back. After two days of lobbying that included a vigorous dinner debate that went into the early morning hours, Mr. Obama failed to forge an international consensus behind military action as other leaders urged him not to attack without United Nations permission.

Post Reply There?s been a lot of push back on my claim that JPMorgan Chase?s exit from student loans is a classic sign of a credit bubble deflating. Jordan Weissmann at the Atlantic sums up the case against me nicely: There are plenty of rational reasons why a Wall Street Behemoth like JPMorgan might have given up on the student loan game, none of which have anything to do with an impending market collapse. To start, the business used to be much more lucrative. Under the old federal lending program, private banks issued loans to college kids, and the debts were guaranteed

Tropical storm Gabrielle fizzles: Why has hurricane season been so calm? Christian Science Monitor, by Pete Spotts??? Original Article Posted By: NorthernDog- 9/5/2013 10:41:58 PM ??? Post Reply The weather system that had become tropical storm Gabrielle overnight Wednesday has abruptly lost strength and was demoted to tropical-depression status with sustained winds of only 35 miles per hour at 11 a.m. Thursday. (Snip) The number of named storms is on pace to fall within the range several seasonal forecasts have projected. On average, however, the season should have seen its first hurricane by now, and none has emerged. Indeed, the first major hurricane, with maximum sustained winds of 111 miles an hour or more, typically appears around Sept. 4, notes Dennis Felgen, spokesmen for the National Hurricane Center.

After practice, Vick was still rattled by the incident. When a reporter approached Vick in the locker room and congratulated the QB on being a peacemaker in the altercation, Vick didn?t want to hear it. ?I try to be the peacemaker,? said Vick, ?but these young dudes don?t respect me.?

Regardless of who the Pro-pot groups target Denver Broncos to urge NFL to legalize marijuana Guardian [UK], by Paolo Bandini??? Original Article Posted By: NorthernDog- 9/5/2013 8:49:24 PM ??? Post Reply It?s not often that people feel sorry for NFL players. With even the lowest-paid rookies earning hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, they live a life that most fans could only dream of. But in the states of Colorado and Washington, the general public enjoy at least one privilege that NFL players do not. As long as they are 21 or older, those fans can smoke marijuana. Despite being legalised in both of those two states, marijuana remains on the NFL?s list of banned substances; players found to have used the drug are punishable with fines and suspensions.

Post Reply Three Russian warships crossed Turkey?s Bosphorus Strait Thursday en route to the eastern Mediterranean, near the Syrian coast, amid concern in the region over potential US-led strikes in response to the Damascus regime?s alleged use of chemical weapons. The SSV-201 intelligence ship Priazovye, accompanied by the two landing ships Minsk and Novocherkassk passed through the Bosphorus known as the Istanbul strait that separates Asia from Europe, an AFP photographer reported.

In 2003, ahead of a U.S. attack on Iraq, a robust anti-war movement in Hollywood included a TV commercial starring Martin Sheen and Sean Penn visiting Baghdad. There were online petitions signed by Ed Asner; letters to President George W. Bush pleading for peace were signed by Matt Damon, Tim Robbins, Barbra Streisand and Alec Baldwin; former M*A*S*H star Mike Farrell fronted multiple press conferences where celebrities denounced war.

Obama returns from G20 for a round of Syria strike phone pitches ? and golf Washington Times (D.C), by Dave Boyer??? Original Article Posted By: JoniTx- 9/7/2013 8:02:25 PM ??? Post Reply Between phone calls urging lawmakers to authorize a military attack against Syria, President Obama went golfing Saturday. Mr. Obama played a round of golf with three White House aides at Andrews Air Force Base in suburban Maryland. As his motorcade left the White House grounds near the South Lawn en route to the golf course shortly before 1 p.m., anti-war protesters demonstrated outside the fence on the north side of the White House.

Original Article Posted By: FlyRight- 9/7/2013 7:23:40 AM ??? Post Reply It is very possible that the president will not obtain a join authorization to bomb Syria; if he chooses to go ahead and attack anyway, Obama will incite a constitutional crisis?the first time in history that a president has decided to go to war against the declared wishes of Congress. The public and the courts will adjudicate the legality of that act, and it would be contentious. So the corner that Obama has painted himself into is now inescapable. Defying Congress will put the country into a Watergate/Monicagate mess.

Original Article Posted By: BuckeyeRon- 9/7/2013 4:37:37 PM ??? Post Reply President Obama will sit for interviews Monday with six TV networks as he makes his case to the nation for military intervention in Syria. Obama will tape interviews Monday afternoon with anchors from ABC, CBS and NBC, as well as with PBS, CNN and Fox News, the White House said. The interviews will be conducted by ABC?s Diane Sawyer, CBS?s Scott Pelley, CNN?s Wolf Blitzer, Fox?s Chris Wallace, NBC?s Brian Williams and PBS?s Gwen Ifill. The interviews will air that night, ahead of Obama?s Tuesday speech on Syria.

Post Reply A key part of President Obama?s press conference in St. Petersburg last Friday went largely under the radar in the US media--his bizarre analogy between the crisis in Syria, and the London Blitz. [Snip] Those kinds of interventions, these kinds of actions are always unpopular, because they seem distant and removed. And I want to make sure I?m being clear. I?m not--I?m not drawing an analogy to World War II, other than to say when London was getting bombed, it was profoundly unpopular, both in Congress and around the country, to help the British.

Peter King (R-N.Y.) is running for president. In a radio interview this week, the Republican lawmaker told a New Hampshire station that he was in the state ?because right now I?m running for president,? according to The New York Daily News. The visit was King?s second of four trips to the traditional home of the nation?s first presidential primary. The announcement makes King the first Republican to officially declare their intentions to run for president in 2016. King has previously expressed an interest in running for president, though Democrats including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi have had their doubts

John McCain: ?Maybe we should legalize? pot Yahoo! News, by Eric Pfeiffer??? Original Article Posted By: BuckeyeRon- 9/7/2013 6:43:11 PM ??? Post Reply Drug war hawk John McCain is turning pot dove. McCain appears open to making a dramatic shift on marijuana policy, saying during a town-hall meeting in Arizona that he?s open to potentially legalizing weed. ?Maybe we should legalize. We?re certainly moving that way as far as marijuana is concerned,? McCain said in comments first reported by Arizona Daily Star columnist Tim Steller. ?I respect the will of the people." In the past, McCain has been a hard-liner on federal drug policy. During his 2000 presidential primary campaign, the Arizona Republican suggested increasing penalties and sentence guidelines for those convicted ?I?m going to knock out the next white person who walks by?: Chilling words of man before he punched 62-year-old stranger* Daily Mail [UK], by Jessica Jerreat???

One of his victims, 62-year-old Jeffrey Babbitt, has been left brain damaged after being punched to the ground in New York?s Union Square on Wednesday afternoon, in a senseless attack that shocked onlookers.

Petraeus, former CIA director under President Barack Obama, called strongly Saturday for Congress to back the White House on Syria, declaring that military action against the regime is ?necessary? to deter ?Iran, North Korea and other would-be aggressors.? ?Failure of Congress to approve the president?s request would have serious ramifications not just in the Mideast but around the world,? Petraeus said in a four-sentence statement provided to Politico.
