According to most national polls and surveys, Democratic presidential nominee Obama is the assumptive winner of Friday’s 2008 presidential debate, the first in the series of three. The Republican nominee John McCain and Obama debated foreign policy, national security and spent half the time discussing the current economic crisis.
This debate clarified three keys issues for [...]
Today’s theme at the DNC is “Securing America’s Future,” a topic made more urgent by the Iraq war and the simmering Russian-Georgian conflict.
Like me, I am sure you are wondering what national security will look like if Barack Obama is elected president. And I wonder how the democrats will face the challenge that Obama is [...]
This is the perfect solution to all of our nation's problems. That king is a genius.If you're going to have guards at the border, make them toll booth guards. Then, you can keep out the people you want to keep out, and you can make a little money on the side. It's perfect. Someone has to suggest this to Congress.
Frankly, the latest terror blasts in Bangalore and Ahmedabad left me strangely numb. I have been writing with some passion on this blog about India’s virtually non-existent war on terror. But this time, I was gripped by an unfamiliar apathy and for quite some time, I felt no urge to say anything.
Every time an attack takes place, there is a deluge of media coverage with graphic visuals and
~Snooper~On 02 JUL 08 in Colorado Springs, CO, the would be next POTUS Obama delivered a speech rife with empty platitudes and useless rhetoric. It was more feigned aplomb to an audience easily swayed with pretty talk void of substance.However, there has been detected an ominous gaffe or a purposeful ad lib from being surrounded by supporters falling all over and prostrating themselves before a ma
On Tuesday, Barack Obama gave an important speech on national security and the war in Iraq. Tuesday’s speech called for two more troop brigades to be sent to Afghanistan. John McCain was forced to follow suit Tuesday afternoon as Obama led the way on national security. Obama said on Tuesday, “imagine, for a moment, what we could have done in those days, and months, and years after 9

Remember when the Republican Party used to champion strong national defense and actually mean it? Even if you disagree with many of their policies, I think you can agree that their focus on defense helped to bring some balance to American politics. But since Reagan came to office, their focus has narrowed to the point where the United States has become strong globally while becoming tragically wea

Mark my words, friends. If Obama gets elected as President, we are pretty much screwed on all ends. It’s no wonder why terrorist organizations across the Middle East are pulling for him.

~Snooper~As The Mighty Knight says, "We must be living in upside down land." Despite the current Administrations' inheritance of the free-falling Clinton economy; despite the catastrophic event of 91101; despite the ills and woes of the housing market; despite of the stock market collapse in the early years of the Bush Administration; the American Economy, the Bush Economy, has grown each and eve
What i think Obama needs to sayespecially in Pa.That we need to do things that give small communities more power.Clintons support in Pa depends on unions and small communities. Many of these people have lost their jobs, and those jobs will NOT return. Much of this is due to technology, but some is due to outsourcing to other countries. The jobs lost to technology wont return (this is a hard reality), BUT, other jobs can come in to take thier place. Especially GREEN jobs. Other benifits to empowering the small community may be that pople dont have to drive as far for work, saving gas.Other tech jobs may come from "Wrok at Home" jobs.========NATIONAL SECURITY.The idea of our troops in Iraq is a HUGE problem for our National Security.If there was another Hurricane Katrina, or an earthquake, o
From: The Cambodian Memory Hole by Paul David Collins The National Security Council (NSC) under Henry Kissinger's guidance put this document together in 1974. The thesis was quite simple: population growth in lesser-developed countries constitutes a threat to national security. NSSM 200 named target countries: In order to assist the development of major countries and to maximize progress toward population stability, primary emphasis would be placed on the largest and fastest growing developing countries where the imbalance between growing numbers and development potential most seriously risks instability, unrest, and international tensions. These countries are: India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nigeria, Mexico, Indonesia, Brazil, The Philippines, Thailand, E
The federal government is starting to realize the real threats of botnets around the world. U.S. homeland security secretary Michael Chertoff speaking at the RSA conference said that the US government has launched a cyber security "Manhattan Project."
The US is realizing that online attacks can be a form of "devastating warfare", and equivalent in damage to "physical destruction of the worst kind."

The Department of Homeland Security is trying to force states to issues "Real ID-compliant" drivers licenses. The Real ID Act of 2005 requires licenses to hold electronically encoded information, along with more complicated background checks for license applicants.
Background from the NY Times:
The federal government issued national standards on Friday that states would have to meet in order for driver’s licenses they issue to qualify as identification at airports and federal buildings, setting the stage for a confrontation with states that have voted not to cooperate….In Washington and elsewhere, state lawmakers have complained that the requirements add up to a national identification card, that it is too costly, puts privacy at risk and

In what can only be described as a shocking turn of events the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the Navy over eco-zealots in vacating a lower courts order to stop using high powered sonar off the coast of California. The US District judge that put the original order in place said the Navys practice of using the high power sonar blasts would put over 30 endangered species at risk. It was a 2-1 ruling by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said we are at war in two countries and this was necessary for the Navy to do. What a pleasant surprise.

The xenophobes are at it again. This time they’re freaking out because a Chinese technology company has expressed an interest in purchasing hard drive maker Seagate.
“Seagate would be extremely sensitive,” said an industry executive who participates in classified government advisory groups. “I do not think anyone in the U.S. wants the Chinese to have access to the controller chips for a disk drive. One never knows what the Chinese could do to instrument the drive.”
Yep, because the Japanese (Hitachi, Toshiba) and South Koreans (Samsung Group) are that much less of a potential security threat so it’s okay to use their drives.
Not to mention the fact that since 2000 you’ve been using Chinese hard drives manufactured by ExcelStor in your laptops.
ExcelStor is a small hard disk drive manufacturer established in 2000. It has a manufacturing plant in Shenzhen, China, and an R&D center in Longmont, Colorado, USA. The company is partly owned by Shenzhen Kaifa Te

A British made vibrator which is radio controlled has been banned in Cyprus as it was branded a threat to national security.
The military in Cyprus are concerned by the sex toy’s electronic waves which may disrupt the armys radio frequencies on the island.
A spokes person for makers of Ann Summers confirmed its Love Bug 2 which is a small egg shaped device operated by a remote control was on sale everywhere in Europe apart form Cyprus.
He said that “The remote The remote control only has a range of 6m. We have still been selling them in Cyprus, but with a warning urging Cypriots not to use it unless they travel abroad.”
In the promotional literature the company describes the device as a “deceptively powerful matt silver love egg” and then later adding “Not for use in Cyprus”.
the military officals have refused to comment on the reasons of the ban, but communications with the government and works ministry said it had been a purely
There is now a bill in the senate that would link global warming to our national security.
Now there are only two ways to pay for this.
One: take money from other areas of true national security. That does not sound like a very good idea to me. I think everybody can agree that taking money from real national security issues and applying it to global warming as national security is more than dumb.It’s dangerous.
Two: Raise more money for national security. How do we do this? I don’t think I need to give you the answer, but I will any way. MORE TAXES.
This is something that I have been posting about here for a while. The real goal of global warming is to raise your taxes. I have been saying that voluntary carbon offsets would turn into mandatory carbon taxes. But this is something I never would have imagined. Linking global warming to national security. Once it’s there who could argue against taxes for national security?
