It is a measure of the degree of ideological polarization that this opinion almost certainly accounts for his being left off the lists ...more »

Ever notice that the U.S. no longer declares war? It just starts killing. The U.S. has not declared war since December of 1941.

In effect, the decision to kill is made by the major capitalists who own American governments. So much for 'government by the people'. _______________________________________________________________ The irving press for My 16 had a glaring error.

Asia Times at The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Asia Times* *Security, Asia* Is that even possible? Shortly after China’s first homemade aircraft carrier set off for sea trials on its maiden voyage this week, the Chinese media starting making waves, saying the country’s navy needed four more such vessels to advance the country’s interests in the western Pacific and northern Indian oceans. Some Chinese papers said the People’s Liberation Army needs a total of six carriers to form convoys and strike groups to project and advance China’s interests in the western Pacific and northern Indian oceans.

Photo Credit: via The Hindu *Editor’s Note: This article originally appeared on *Order from Chaos*.* Over the last few years, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government has sought to deepen its relationships in the Middle East (or what Delhi calls West Asia). It has continued its predecessors’ approach of maintaining links with Israel, the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (both the Qatar and Saudi/UAE wings), and Iran. Arguably, the latter is the least significant of the three for India—and definitely less crucial than India’s partnership with the United States for ... more »

Guantanamo, Certification, and the Fear of Blame

The fear of blame is a powerful motivator. As illustrated in “Power Wars” and “The Terror Presidency,” that fear can be particularly acute for officials who work in national security—no one wants to be accused of having American blood on their hands. In a recent Comment in the Yale Law Journal, I argue that Congress effectively weaponized this fear of blame through an obscure bureaucratic procedure—the certification requirement—to thwart one of President Obama’s key foreign policy priorities: closing Guantanamo Bay. Certification requirements demand that an official attest to a st... more »
