formerly on this week, michigan state representative john conyers jr. The top democrat on the judiciary committee, steam authenticator pc asked the pentagon to audit mr. Pearl's business operations. And on wednesday, michigan sen. Carl levin, the senior democrat on the armed services committee, wrote a letter to mr. Rumsfeld urging him to force mr. Pearl to make a decision between his work on the defense policy board and the concrete business. In a letter to mr. Rumsfeld on wednesday, mr. Pearl said he was "dismayed" with all that criticism of his business dealings is distracting pentagon officials as they grapple with their war in iraq. “I have seen this kind of controversy before and i am aware that this one will inevitably distract from the urgent task that you are now engaged in,” mr. Pearl wrote. “It was not my intention to distract for a moment because of this challenge. Since i cannot quickly or easily suppress criticism of a loved one based on factual errors regarding my activities, about what i can do in such circumstances is to ask you to accept my resignation. As chairman of the defense policy tip." Last week, mr. Perlet defended the appropriateness of his fee arrangement with global crossing, which agreed to pay him $600,000 on top of his $125,000 fee if the pentagon and other government agencies approve his sale. But in his letter, mr. Perlet changed his mind and said that he would not accept any compensation as a result of the completion of the transaction. He also said that "any past service award will be donated to the families of us military personnel killed or wounded in iraq." Watch the fig leaves flutter through the atmosphere as they miraculously land on pearl. He has done nothing wrong, besides he is not always going to do it, and besides, all any money that could be taken, but which now he will no longer take, although there is nothing wrong in this desire, this modest money will go to the little ones. American children whose families have suffered in wars in which, of course, he himself has not received any influence or a voice. It's just a random act of charity, a purely coincidental timing in these other matters. What a nice good man richard pearl. See? Who is not embittered before, is not always angry, the prince of darkness. Serenity covers his skin like a cloak, a cloak over his radiantly cleansed and clear conscience. In a short phone call this afternoon ahead of the pentagon announcement, mr. Pearl sounded angry. When asked if he had retired, he replied, “let me tell you something. If i did, you would be the last person in our country i would want to talk to him. After which he hung up. Soft, soft man. Now, on to the next issue regarding global crossing: in an affidavit he signed, but never filed in bankruptcy proceedings, mr. Pearl said that he was hired by global crossing to process the committee's his former job as assistant secretary of defense in the reagan administration and his current position on the defense policy board. “As chairman of the defense policy tip, i have a unique perspective and deep knowledge of national defense and security issues that will be raised in the c.F.I.S. Review process that are not available to other c.F.I.S. Professionals,” he said, addressing the committee. Mr. Pearl said that he had inadvertently read the affidavit first to sign it and that the reference in the affidavit to the defense policy board was a "technical error" that should have been deleted. Oops! Just a typo! Although a big typo, isn't it? 51-worder filled with abbreviations and meaning. The house just happened to write "the unique vision and deep knowledge of national defense and security issues that will be raised during the cfius review, which is not available and therefore fails to be available to other cfius professionals." It just happened to come out of his fingers or from his dictation, and he had no idea that he was seeking to protect the global crossing from congressional attacks. Dom simply forgot that this was written to a congressional committee, and instead thought vaguely that he was strolling merrily around the mall, chatting to himself for no reason, which he usually doesn't do. What a caring guy richard pearl! Doesn't that encourage you to feel good about this development? Boasted when he had to look into mr. Pearl's business dealings. As a result, in recent days criticism from the democratic legislators began to sound. Mr. Conyers asked the inspector general of the pentagon to check on mr. Pearl's dealings.And senator levin sent a letter to mr. Rumsfeld expressing "deep concern" about reports of mr. Pearl's dealings. “I believe that mr. Pearl should be asked to make a choice,” mr. Levin wrote, “between withdrawing from defense policy advice or accepting the obligation not to engage in further association with d.O.D. Officials on behalf of the client not to allow the use of his data in connection with any such contact and therefore not to accept any rewards dependent on the functioning of the department of defense.

On wednesday, optimus prime travels to the middle east with a personal guard squad to provide fire protection for airfields in combat. “On sunday, we were awarded the best national guard fire unit in the entire country,” prime said. "That was a key aspect for us." Prime takes its name from the leader of the transformer autobots, the popular strap-on and children's cartoons of the 1980s. He officially changed his name on his 30th birthday, and in the new century, it is on everything from driver's licenses to military ids and uniforms. “They always torn me apart for three months,” prime said. "They really dug into me about it." "I got a letter from a general at the pentagon when there was a brand change and risk says it's great to find a job as an autobot commander in the home guard." Prime says the toy actually filled a void in reality when it came out. “My father passed away the year before, and i didn’t have anyone around, so i really got attached to him when i was a kid,” he said.

Abedon carol asks:is anyone big bothered by this? 5:50 cst cnn just announced that the president is going to camp david for the weekend. Just wondering.... No. I am disturbed by the idea that bush planned to get the white house to personally decide which division should be sent where, a la herr hitler, or even on the more democratic level of direct control of the armed forces, which winston churchill was fond of.I find it a little strange how one of the players who has such a negative attitude about bush as avedon is at the same time probably disturbed by the thought of everything that this incompetent person is going to camp david, where there are communications facilities comparable to the white house in anyway (bush is reputedly very fond of video conferencing technology, which is certainly ripe for a parody if one wants to get there and yet without making more responsibility for one's own incompetence. This seems to me the political equivalent of an old joke in the eastern jewish community.

The problem is just who you are - an ignorant ass who somehow missed thirty years of intellectual tradition and yet feels inexplicably competent to comment on political issues or a dishonest ass. William kristol cannot plead ignorance. Some of the visitors may have had an excuse. No more. I have a lot of respect for jim, even though there are certainly some political differences here - after all, i have some political differences that almost have everything, and i shouldn't, then, to get my respect, to require others to adhere to my opinions, but really to show some general capacity for thoughtful thinking - but perhaps trying a certain amount is too hard? Jim makes the mistake of using "are" and formulating a general rule instead of discussing specific usage. It is incorrect and incorrect universally to say that "neo-conservative" is a code for "jewish", or to say that "neo-conservative is by no means a code word for jewish" because, like most such statements, any of them can be true. In some cases one is true, in other cases the other is true. Any one is possible either a true or a false statement, depending on what kind of statement each one is describing. May instead be a code word for "jews", but not necessarily. Generally speaking, in many political discussions, "neo-conservative" will not be a code word for "jews." In circumstances like, say, when pat buchanan writes, "neo-conservative" is definitely, at the very least, visibly a code word for "jews." Of course, in a significant number of circumstances this is not empty, but it cannot be asserted without at least a significant variety of knowledge and experience with speech. Ker when you don't directly read minds. By default, of course, in neutral situations it is realistic to proceed from the best. (At least if you're not a pessimist.) On the other hand, circumstances are not always neutral in a world where antisemitism exists. Our world. Rather, i would have no objection if jim had simply expressed his strong opinion that "neo-con" is a perfectly legitimate word to describe a certain political "movement" / smell and also in a huge number of situations in which he faces it is in no way restricted by any shade of the codeword. This is good and right. Unfortunately jim - slightly agitated if my tone detector wasn't completely turned off - stumbled and went unnecessarily far, practically to - regardless of the tasks, as i read - at least, implying the absolute statement that "neo-"conservative" never wants to and definitely will not be a code word for “jews”, which, alas, is not. I do expect it to be quite rare, probably almost never, because of this it is used by the people jim reads and interacts with, which explains his attention stage. However, i really hope that jim does not consider me an "ass" if i notice, and she is not everyone as reasonable as jim, and which patrick buchanan simply became an example of an anti-semitic writer and thinker, who, meanwhile, is included in the "jews", when he attacks "neoconservatives". Or mean "lovers of the jews." Excuse me: "amen corner". And pat buchanan is not unique and therefore not alone in this. Especially from year to year. Jim answers. As if.

Makiya is one of the highly sought-after and interesting iraqi dissidents in exile. When i heard president george w. Bush deliver his ultimatum to saddam hussein on monday, i couldn't help but be puzzled by one important omission: the word "democracy." Why, i kept asking myself, did he decide not to use it? There is only a matter of time before the us military rips apart saddam hussein's despotism. I seem to have spent the last 25 years of my life working on a similar problem. The effort was marked by cycles of despair and pleasure, painfully elusive potentials - and broken promises. After the passage of the gulf war, every success of the iraqi opposition was intertwined with disappointment and bitterness. For many years of work, we, in the opposition, carefully analyzed every word, intonation and image of every public american statement about iraq. I heard the president say that the "liberation" of iraq is just around the corner.However, why didn't the ailment utter a single word that would ensure that some cure that the partner was about to provide in iraq would enter the annals of history as one of its great moments? Despite his reticence, i feel my identity more confidently than ten days ago when i returned to the united states of america from kurdistan. In these past days, on numerous visits, i have run into vice president dick cheney, twice under secretary of defense douglas feit, and twice jay garner, director of the new office of renewal and humanitarian aid. I left those meetings with the fears i had developed in northern iraq — fears shared by all my colleagues in the iraqi opposition — at least partially dispelled. I left with renewed hope for a us-iraqi partnership, which is the only way democracy can come to this forgotten land. I left with confidence in this administration's commitment to the much needed and difficult work that lies ahead of us in establishing a new order in iraq months after the end of the war.

That's what resignation is. A senior national security council official involved in the war on terror resigned this week for family reasons, according to an nsc spokesman, but intelligence sources say the move reflects concern that a looming war with iraq is damaging the fight against terrorism. Rand beers did not comment on this article, but he and a couple of sources close to him emphasize that the resignation was not raised in protest against the invasion of iraq. But the same sources, and other current and former intelligence officials, described a broad consensus in the counter-terrorism and intelligence community that an invasion of iraq would divert critical resources from the fight against terrorism. Beers has been the senior director of the nsc for the war on terrorism since august. The white house said on wednesday that he officially remains at work and is far from setting a departure date. “No wonder,” said one of the former intelligence officials. “We have sacrificed the war on terror to fight iraq. I absolutely don't blame randy. It simply reflects the widely held belief that the fight against terrorism is being put aside in the fight against iraq at the expense of our military and intelligence resources and relationships with our allies.” A member of the senate intelligence committee familiar with the resignation agreed that it was not a protest against the war against iraqi leader saddam hussein, but confirmed that chagrin is widespread in the anti-terrorism establishment and played a role in beers' decision. “Randy said he was really tired” and therefore didn’t need to add the stress of the iraq war,” the source said. The source said the administration's concerns about low morale in the intelligence community prompted national security adviser condoleezza rice to ask beers twice during an exit interview whether the resignation was a protest against the war on iraq. The source said that despite bierce's insistence to the contrary, the tone of the interview bothered rice so much that the porn bunny felt she had to ask the same question twice. “This is a very intriguing decision (by beers),” said writer and intelligence lawyer james bamford. “The prevailing belief in the intelligence community is that an invasion of iraq will cause more terrorism than it will prevent it. Intelligence professionals are deeply embarrassed that the administration has lied so much - seemingly by the president, (vice president dick) cheney and (secretary of state colin) powell - about iraq. , Small. I don't know. I am aware of the arguments, but i do not have enough internal sources to judge immediately. Given the above i put it there. One good moment from bamford, an excellent author/reporter/researcher: "it's absurd that a president in america mentioned a fake id certificate in his speech to the world and none of the men got fired," bamford said. "This alone has offended intelligence professionals in all services." Alas, his consistency is not surprising. We also haven't heard of conditions for someone to get fired because of 9/11, or another new failure of modern intelligence. On the one hand, fortunately, almost no one is made a scapegoat; causing fear and unwillingness to stick one's head into the bureaucracy; on the other hand, is there a genuine guarantee and importance for an unreasonable failure is likely, of course, sometimes to be completely isolated?

(Not universal, of course) eccentricity. For the intellectual movement.Many excellent quotes covering the history of "paleoconservatism" samuel francis: francis advocated for politics unfettered racial nationalism had food politics in what he called the "euro-american cultural core" of the american nation. He said it was time for conservatives to abandon their old commitment to limited government: "the nationalist ethic," he wrote in 1991, "may well require government action." So, the chronicle argued for the protection of american industry and the restriction of immigration of non-whites. He defended minimum wage laws and attacked companies that moved operations overseas. Who championed the southern confederation of the 1860s and the anti-civil rights resistance of the 1960s. [...] Francis, in particular, scolded national review conservatives for their isolation from "grassroots" americans. He chose an interesting way to illustrate his side of the client: “of the fifteen conservative intellectuals whose photographs were featured on the dust jacket of george h. Nash's the united states of america's conservative intellectual movement since 1945, published in 1976, four are catholics, seven are catholics. Jews, another seven (in particular three jews) of foreign origin, two immigrants from the south or west, and only five in some respects are representatives of the historically dominant anglo-saxon (or at least anglo-celtic) protestant movement in european history. And history (three out of 5 later visited catholicism)." In the new millennium, francis had his own ideological movement. “The new american right,” he wrote in 1991, “must recognize that their values and desires lie outside and against the establishment and that their natural allies are not beyond manhattan, yale and washington, but in increasingly alienated and under attack layers. Middle america... The new right, positioning itself in opposition to the elite and an ally of the lower class elite, can assert its leadership among the middle americans and mobilize them in radical opposition to the regime.” It is noteworthy that patrick buchanan and the industrial “paleos” who opposed america’s involvement in the affairs of the “far” middle east and the rest of the world (“america from the beginning!”), Nevertheless, found the reason: people tend to identify themselves with this something big than the heroes themselves. That is why patriotism shakes the heart. When patriotism falters, something else takes its place. For most paleoconservatives, that prank was serbian nationalism for a while. The civil wars in yugoslavia divided the conservatives. Some—william f. Buckley, jr. Richard perle, john o'sullivan, and republican political leaders such as bob dole—advocated early and decisive intervention against slobodan milosevic. Others - charles krauthammer, henry kissinger, and in order to lower a couple of steps down the porch) i - opposed. Pat buchanan, one might say, allowed himself to be affected by dual loyalty. Although he denied that america's interest in either kuwait's oil fields, iraq's oil fields, or personal aggression was of any extreme importance, he insisted in 1991 that the sixth fleet be sent to dubrovnik to secure croatia's catholics from serb attack. “Croatia is not some distant desert emirate,” he explained. “This is “a piece of the continent, part of the continent”, a western republic that belonged to the habsburg empire and for centuries was the first line of defense of christian europe. For their incessant resistance to the ottoman turks, croatia was proclaimed by pope leo x "antemurale christianitatis", a stronghold of christianity." However, the chronicle, along with most of its authors, followed thomas fleming in a passionate defense of the serbian cause. Even if all the war crimes attributed to the serbs turn out to be true, fleming argued in 1997, "they are nothing compared to what has been committed not only by the germans, but also by the americans in recent years." When the us and nato finally went to war against serbia, fleming identified with the enemy side: “[we have to be as loyal as the serbs in preserving our heritage,” he said in a june 1999 speech, “as brave." Like serbs in confronting our enemies." That will say a lot. Here is another edifying quote: "the civilization that we whites created in europe and hollywood studios would not have been able to develop without the genetic abilities of the people who created them." -- Samuel francis, speech to the american renaissance conference, may 1994. Frum notes and further discusses that of the restrictions against which the paleoconservatives chafed, the most tedious was the restriction imposed by civilized opinion on overtly racist speech. What is going on francis's speech at the american renaissance white supremacist conference in 1994, for example, cost him his job as a staff columnist for the washington times. Citizens, successor to the white citizens' councils of the segregated south; he moonlights as editor of the occid ental quarterly, a pseudo-scientific "journal of western thought and opinion." Big surprise, huh? Frum gets the point right: however, for paleo, race and ethnicity were essential and defining issues from the beginning—and they remain so to this day. Such people are not fascists. One could even unfairly call them "proto-fascists". But they are clearly proto-proto-fascists. But wait.What is another valuable part of their ideology? Among the paleos, racial passions are strong. However, after reading a bunch of thousands of their words in stamps also on the screen, i have a strong feeling that although their anti-black and anti-spanish feelings are really strong, another antipathy is much more important to flying pests intellectually. . I think you know what antipathy is. After the defeat of his friend buchanan in the second presidential campaign, sobran wrote: “the whole of existence cannot be told until it is forbidden to discuss the interests of the jews as freely as we discuss the interests of the christian right. Talking about american politics without mentioning jews is like talking about the nba without mentioning the chicago bulls. Sobran followed macdonald's advice: "it's time to speak frankly about the jews". At a june 2002 conference sponsored by the institute for historical review, the leading holocaust denial group, joe sobran defined "neoconservatism" as "kosher conservatism." All clear?

As a rule, this will cause, real soon now, a similar counter-statement by those science fiction professionals about the war. It happened in vietnam when two such signed advertisements existed in analog and similar places.

The european union has discovered a wiretapping operation targeting 5 of its 15 member states, the organization said today. Spy equipment was found late last month in the headquarters building where the offices of the french, german, british, austrian and spanish delegations are located, officials said. Since one of the offices belonged to the uk, it is unlikely that this was an american operation. Not that this rule is 100%% excluded.I believe that our organization will further see about this.

Gary, you've been found! Tim rutten's "media" column in this issue of the losangeles times is an innovative example of mainstream media's renewed recognition of the growing influence of bloggers in the american public policy debate. Our job at the heritage foundation is to provide useful resources - objective data, conservative analysis and commentary - to journalists, analysts and commentators of all stripes. However, our company is not so sure how to do it with the blogging community. So, this letter is an invitation to do this experiment. Over the next month, we will periodically email you brief updates on significant research, publications, and competitions in the heritage area. At the end of the month, let us know if these notifications were helpful. If not available, please let us know at any time and you do not have a set. If you find that only these notices relating to specific areas of concern - foreign policy, social welfare reform, etc. - Are needed in such circumstances, we will limit our future emails to that. When you intend to continue to receive all notifications, write to us about it. Regardless of how you feel about the issues raised, we are confident that you will find heritage materials useful in your efforts to provide the sharp, immediate, and thoughtful commentary and analysis that blogging has made possible. We eagerly await your thoughts. Reverently, laura bodwell marketing manager mark tapscott director of media services that's enough near spam to annoy me a little, but i'm certainly glad to like this new legacy propaganda, uh, public awareness program. It is clear from them that they expand into blogging. It will be interesting for me to see what kind of nonsense... Uh, information they decided to send out, and note where bq appears, from which bloggers and if anyone confirms it. 3 / 19/2003 13:51:00 permalink main page tweet 0 comments Hey! Remember the 80's? Remember salvador?: This restriction used to be in vogue. The country simply plummeted out of fashion long before the turn of the millennium, along with nicaragua. But almost no one noticed that the farabundo marti national liberation front, or fmln, won many elections on sunday. El salvador's former left-wing guerrilla party won over 100% of 262 mayors in the election, with its leader saying the results showed that salvadorans are hungry for change. The farabundo martí national liberation front, or fmln, also said it increased its congressional seat in sunday's vote, equaling its own former conservative opponents in our country's 1980-1992 civil war, the ruling nationalist republican alliance arena. Salvadorans voted for 262 mayoral positions and 84 congressional zones. The important post of mayor of san salvador passed to the fmln as soon as the former two-term mayor of the fmln sacked the party, ran on a smaller party list and resigned. According to unofficial forecasts, the arena has the right to exercise 29 congressional corners - the same as it has in current realities - while the fmln is able to raise its seats from 25 to 31. Both parties need to guess alliances with the smaller parties in order to buy majority in congress. Best of all, the election was peaceful. And, hey, only five people were killed during the campaign period, which is good for el salvador. From other news of the eighties - john travolta starred in a purchased movie.

I think saddam speaks equally well of you, jörg. In the said book, he will say that saddam is accessible to the views of others, and condemns the us call for war. The former leader of the right-wing freedom party called the two controversial get-togethers with saddam "interesting and philosophical." He said, "i didn't feel like i was sitting in front of the uncultured villain of history" saddam hussein is the cultural villain of history; he is the author of two novels, remember? Published as saddam's guest: in the evil empire, the 200-page book has not been translated into any other language.Haider said that during the next meeting, saddam spoke for two hours about the philosophical aspects of arab culture and politics, and about israel's "danger to the palestinians," haider said. Pretty general interest. “I got the impression that he is better educated, knows a lot about the history of his country and region. He is available to accept different arguments and take the other side of (even) the point of view of a representative of western europe. " Any representative of neo-nazis can drop in on saddam at any time. Well, okay, it's time for a little bit busy. You have the opportunity to stay in the reception.Even invited.Rest scale: 0 out of 5. 3/19/2003 10:19:00 permalinkkeypagetweet0 comments Interesting think?Corrections ny times: in arts article on saturday
