Boehner: Up to Democrats to prevent budget cuts
Thursday - 2/14/2013, 3:04am EST
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- House Speaker John Boehner said Wednesday it's unlikely the Republican-controlled House and Democratic-led Senate will prevent a wave of automatic spending cuts from beginning to strike the economy in two weeks. Yet he sounded hopeful about avoiding a partial shutdown of the government when a temporary spending bill expires next month.
Cloistered in his Capitol office overlooking the National Mall, Boehner said in an interview with The Associated Press that he was skeptical of many of President Barack Obama's plans, laid out the night before in the annual State of the Union address.
Boehner voiced doubts about Obama's proposal for taxpayer-funded help for pre-school education for all 4-year-olds, and would not commit to passing a pathway to citizenship for the nation's 11 million illegal immigrants, though doing so would be "somewhat helpful" to members of his party as they seek to regain support among Hispanics. "There's no magic potion that's going to solve our party's woes with Hispanics," he said.
Boehner also refused to swing behind any of Obama's gun-control proposals and said he opposed the president's plan to raise the minimum wage to $9 an hour.
The Ohio Republican said he gets along well with Obama but admits their relationship hasn't generated much in the way of results, pointing to two failed rounds of budget talks in 2011 and at the end of last year. Boehner is frustrated that spending cuts Obama signaled he would agree to in 2011 have been taken off the table since the election.
"It hasn't been real productive the last two years, and frankly every time I've gotten into one of these high-profile negotiations, it's my rear end that got burnt," Boehner said. "It's just probably not the best way for our government to operate."
Obama stumped Wednesday in support of his minimum-wage plan, his calls for a manufacturing revival and his other State of the Union proposals in a trip to Ashville, N.C., where he said: "If you work full time, you shouldn't be in poverty." He takes his case to Georgia on Thursday and his hometown of Chicago on Friday, all part of his effort to build popular support for an agenda facing stiff resistance back in Washington.
"It's not a Democratic thing or a Republican thing," Obama said of his initiatives. "Our job as Americans is to restore that basic bargain that says if you work hard, if you meet your responsibilities, you can get ahead."
The immediate agenda, though, is dominated by $85 billion in automatic, across-the-board spending cuts -- called a sequester in Washington-speak -- set to slam the Pentagon and domestic programs over the coming seven months. Boehner said he has no plans to resurrect legislation passed by Republicans last year to block this year's sequester.
The speaker said that until Obama puts forward a plan to avoid the sequester and Senate Democrats pass it, "we're going to be stuck with it. It's going to be a little bleak around here when this actually happens and people actually have to make decisions."
Boehner noted that while plenty of GOP defense hawks are anxious about the automatic cuts, Democrats concerned with cuts to domestic programs have a lot on the line, too.
And he sounded glum about prospects that the two sides will come together in the spring on a separate, long-term budget blueprint to address the government's fiscal problems.
"It's hard to imagine that you could reconcile (the separate budgets) the House and Senate pass," Boehner said. "But at some point, in some manner, it almost has to happen if we're going to deal with our long-term spending problem."
In March, the House and Senate will take up competing long-term budget blueprints. In a break with past years, House Republicans promise to balance the budget within a decade -- without additional tax increases beyond the $600 billion-plus in tax increases on wealthier earners won by Obama as part of a deal to keep the rest of the Bush-era tax cuts.
He said that an impasse with Senate Democrats, who insist their rival budget plan will raise taxes and contain softer budget cuts, is probably inevitable.
Also looming is the need to pass legislation financing the government through the budget year ending Sept. 30. Here, at least, Boehner saw some promise, predicting a resolution will pass soon to head off a partial shutdown.
Washington's most powerful Republican was also non-committal on two of Obama's top second-term initiatives: overhauling the nation's immigration laws and enacting stricter gun control measures.

By: Becky Post, Guest Blogger
If you are a parent of a junior or senior in high school, you probably find yourself muttering that persistent cliché, "Time flies." Now that my nineteen-year-old daughter is in college, a few more clichés appear to be enduringly true, and foremost of all is this one: "It's none of your business." In fact, this realization has evolved into a few cold hard reality checks that my husband and I are learning to embrace.
Reality Check #1: Expect Minimal Communication from the College
Despite the fact that many parents of college students are responsible for covering various expenses of their college-age child—like health and car insurance, cell phone fees, and tuition costs—be prepared for minimal communication from the college once your child is enrolled. Because your child is beyond the age of 18, you will be not notified of your child's grades or barely anything else that your child is up to--good, bad, or otherwise. How strange, that void of communication. After all, we once had so much to pay attention to! Parents of juniors and seniors in high school are harassed with reminders about all the requirements of both graduating from high school and preparing for college. We learn what all those confusing alphabet arrangements mean—ACT, SAT, PSEO, FAFSA—and why the associated deadlines matter. All along, there was that avalanche of college letters, inviting you visit and be on their team. So you visit--and wish time weren't racing. Then your focus switches to helping your child apply to colleges. More deadlines. More acronyms. Finally, it's time to actually choose a college and get your child enrolled. Yup, more deadlines and reminder letters. Come fall, you move your child to campus, mop up your tears, and somehow stumble to the car and drive away. Soon enough, you want to know: How's it going? Here's what the college will tell you: Not much.
Reality Check #2: You're Still Responsible for Your Child's Expenses, But Not Much Else
You will get sporadic reminders from the college: tuition is due, the FAFSA is due again, or care packages can be purchased to help your child survive final exams. Wait a minute, you may ask, How are my child's grades? What about the paid-for meal plan that probably isn't being used? Or that annoying roommate who is making my child miserable?
Guess what? These concerns are none of your business!
The academic, health, social, and emotional concerns that you once so responsibly embraced are now your child's territory to negotiate. Because a college student is a legal adult, most aspects of his or her life are private, and that includes grades, medical issues, and legal matters.
Reality Check #3: Recognize that Your Baby Is an Adult
Young adults normally want their independence, and colleges expect them to conduct their lives in responsible ways. Fortunately, colleges provide students with many resources to help them make academic and career decisions and develop life skills—but those resources are for the student, not for the well-meaning parent. Bear in mind, 18-year-olds can legally marry and vote. They can join the military and fight in wars. So try not to freak out when your child must figure out how to use public transportation systems, fill out job applications, avoid problems with campus security, and separate lights from darks on laundry day.
Reality Check #4: It's Time to Let Go
Some college students call their parents nearly every day, but many parents must make their peace with a once-a-week call or time-to-time texts. It can be tricky for parents, but it so important to find that balance between appropriate concern and letting go. Most parents truly do want their grown children to build lives of their own—and they began guiding their children to that end as soon as they were born. When my daughter was born, someone told me, "Remember, your child is only on loan to you." That reminder has always stayed with me. Chances are, you have done all you can to help their children be ready to face adult challenges. When you're struck by the fact that your grown child is still so young, remember yourself at age eighteen or nineteen. Did your lack of years or experience hold you back? Sometimes, perhaps, but mostly you and your equally young friends charged ahead with your plans and aspirations. Your child will do the same—and text you about it later. Now, go pay that cell phone bill.

And the more modern man feels incapable of going deep in sex, the more he thinks about it. It becomes a vicious circle. And the more he thinks about it, the more it becomes cerebral. Then even sex becomes futile. It has become futile in the West, a repetitive thing, boring. Nothing is gained, you just go on repeating an old habit. And ultimately you feel frustrated - as if you have been cheated. Why? Because really, the consciousness is not falling back down to the center.
Only when passing through the hara do you feel bliss. So whatsoever may be the cause, whenever you pass through the hara you feel bliss. A warrior on the field fighting sometimes passes through the hara, but not modern warriors because they are not warriors at all. A person throwing a bomb on a city is asleep. He is not a warrior; he is not a fighter; he is not a kshatriya - not Arjuna fighting.
Sometimes when one is on the verge of death one is thrown back to the hara. For a warrior fighting with his sword, any moment death becomes possible, any moment he may be no more. And when fighting with a sword you cannot think. If you think, you will be no more. You have to act without thinking because thinking needs time; if you are fighting with a sword you cannot think. If you think then the other will win, you will be no more. There is no time to think, and the mind needs time. Because there is no time to think and thinking will mean death, consciousness falls down from the head - it goes to the hara, and a warrior has a blissful experience. That is why there is so much fascination about war. Sex and war have been two fascinations, and the reason is this: you pass through the hara. You pass through it in any danger.
Nietzsche says, live dangerously. Why? Because in danger you are thrown back to the hara. You cannot think; you cannot work things out with the mind. You have to act immediately.
A snake passes. Suddenly you see the snake and there is a jump. There is no deliberate thinking about it, that "There is a snake." There is no syllogism; you do not argue within your mind, "Now there is a snake and snakes are dangerous, so I must jump." There is no logical reasoning like this. If you reason like this, then you will not be alive at all. You cannot reason. You have to act spontaneously, immediately. The act comes first and then comes thinking. When you have jumped, then you think.
In ordinary life, when there is no danger you think first, then you act. In danger, the whole process is reversed; you act first and then you think. That action coming first without thinking throws you to your original center - the hara. That is why there is the fascination with danger.
You are driving a car faster and faster and faster, and suddenly a moment comes when every moment is dangerous. Any moment and there will be no life. In that moment of suspense, when death and life are just as near to each other as possible, two points just near and you in between, the mind stops: you are thrown to the hara. That is why there is so much fascination with cars, driving - fast driving, mad driving. Or you are gambling and you have put everything you have at stake - the mind stops, there is danger. The next moment you can become a beggar. The mind cannot function; you are thrown to the hara.

Nature of Work
Child development workers are care providers, teaching assistants, teachers or directors in early education and child care centers or family child care homes. They provide quality care and education for infants, toddlers, preschoolers or school youngsters in both full-day and part-day programs. They promote the intellectual, physical, social and emotional development of children through positive interactions and developmentally appropriate activities. Program directors are responsible for the entire daily operation of the center.
Young children learn mainly through play. Recognizing the importance of play, child development workers build their program around it. They plan activities and interactions that capitalize on children's play to further language and literacy development (storytelling and pretend play), improve social skills (working together during play with blocks), and introduce scientific and mathematical concepts (balancing and counting blocks, when building a bridge or mixing colors when painting). Thus, early education and care teachers help children learn through active involvement with materials and people. Techniques include small group activities, individual interactions, and learning through creative activities, such as art, dramatic play, and music.
Interaction with peers is an important part of child's early development. Preschool children are given an opportunity to engage in conversation and discussions, and learn to play and work cooperatively with their classmates. Child development workers play a vital role in preparing children to build the skills they will need in school.
Employment Prospects
Employment of child development workers is projected to increase about as fast as the average for all occupations through the year 2010. Many child development workers leave the occupation each year to take other jobs, to meet family responsibilities or for other reasons. Qualified persons who are interested in this work should have little trouble finding and keeping a job.
Skills You Need
Early education and childcare work requires patience, creativity, flexibility, and the ability to nurture. Good communication and positive guidance skills are essential. Teachers and directors must possess leadership, teamwork and organizational skills, and the ability to problem solve.
Expected Earnings
Salaries vary widely according to job status and agency. Current starting salaries may be $7 to $15 per hour for child care workers. Director salaries may be higher. Pay depends on the educational attainment of the worker and the type of establishment.

Matchup of aces pits Dickey against CC in finale
Yankees look to complete three-game sweep of division-rival Blue Jays
Injuries may have taken their toll on the Yankees and Blue Jays, but the teams' aces are at full strength, which could mean fans at Yankee Stadium will be in for a pitching duel on Sunday.
The Yankees sport the best record in the American League East at 27-16, despite boasting an All-Star roster of wounded hitters. With Derek Jeter, Kevin Youkilis, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira and Eduardo Nunez on the mend, general manager Brian Cashman has found himself constantly eyeing the scrapheap for any potential upgrades.
"Obviously, there's more transactions, but the job from the front office's end is always to try to find the best players whether it's small upgrades or big upgrades," Cashman said. "We're having to do a lot of mixing and matching because of the injury issues, but other than that, it's the same job."
New York's patchwork lineup will meet Toronto knuckleballer R.A. Dickey on Sunday. Dickey dropped a decision to the Yankees on April 28, when he limited the Bronx Bombers to three runs on four hits in seven innings.
Dickey totes a 4.83 ERA, though two rough outings have skewed the number a bit. Aside from a pair of starts in which he surrendered a total of 14 earned runs, Dickey has compiled a 3.09 ERA. He submitted a quality start against San Francisco on Tuesday, when he held the Giants to two runs in six frames and tallied 10 whiffs.
"I felt like I grew into the outing," Dickey said. "Early on, I was feeling for it a little bit. As I got into the later innings, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth, I felt a lot better with it and felt like I had a pretty good knuckleball today. I was getting a lot of swings and misses. I was in the strike zone for the most part outside of those two walks. Was pretty pleased."
The Yankees will counter with southpaw CC Sabathia (4-3, 3.19 ERA). The 32-year-old beat the Blue Jays on April 27, when he tossed eight innings, limiting Toronto to four runs (three earned).
Blue Jays: Johnson begins path to recovery
Out since April 21 with a right triceps injury, Josh Johnson is slated to make his first rehab start for Class A Dunedin on Monday. Manager John Gibbons projected that Johnson would need at least three rehab starts.
"It's like Spring Training almost all over again," Gibbons said. "Not quite as bad."
Yankees: Club brings in Brignac
The Yankees acquired infielder Reid Brignac from the Rockies. They plan to use him in a platoon at shortstop with Jayson Nix and at third base with David Adams.
"He plays second, short and third," Cashman said. "Fly-ball hitter, so we'll see if we can take advantage of a left-handed bat with Yankee Stadium here. He's a very good fielder, more so than a bat. He gives us a little bit better of a platoon situation because all the left side infield bats are right-handed."
Worth noting
• The Yankees are 8-1 against the Blue Jays this season and have won nine straight games against Toronto in the Bronx dating back to last season.
• New York is 18-0 when scoring first, an American League record to begin a season.
• Toronto announced Chad Jenkins and Ramon Ortiz as its starting pitchers for Monday and Tuesday, respectively.

Even as the president and Congress make overtures about the importance of greater investment in science, federal agencies are under increasing pressure to make the most efficient use of the funds they are given. Bruce Alberts, editor-in-chief of Science Magazine, and others say that traditional funding mechanisms have created a peer-review culture that funds conservative and incremental science (1). In response, federal agencies, nonprofits and private enterprises are developing new ways to fund creative, innovative and breakthrough-oriented science. But will they create more scientific "bang" for our buck?
•The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Policy Blotter blog posts regular news and commentary about current science policy issues. Below are some recent highlights. You can read them and other posts at http://asbmbpolicy.asbmb.org.• A Lesson From Nobel Laureates: Basic Science Requires Federal Dollars (http://wp.me/pFLHF-27) President Obama's recent visit with the 11 American 2009 Nobel Prize laureates underscores the importance of federal funding for basic science. • An Ongoing Conversation: Women In Science (http://wp.me/pFLHF-2c) Several nonprofits, blogs and federal agencies recently have released publications about women in science, and some have surprising takes on the issue. • NIH, Collins Announce Approval of Stem-Cell Lines (http://wp.me/pFLHF-23) The National Institutes of Health has approved the use of 13 lines of stem cells under a new policy that will expand dramatically the resources available for regenerative biomedical research. • "Growing Pains" for Evolution (http://wp.me/pFLHF-1W) Actor Kirk Cameron has teamed up with a creationist group to promote a version of Darwin's "Origin of the Species" with a creationist introduction.
Traditional science funding is project oriented. Proposals historically have required detailed descriptions of specific methods and preliminary data. Peer-review panels traditionally have chosen proposals that may be the best science but are also most likely to succeed. Many policymakers and scientists say that approach has created a culture adverse to the risk-taking necessary for innovative research.
In response, federal agencies recently have re-evaluated their grant-review procedures to make the process more innovation-friendly. For example, the National Institutes of Health recently changed its grant application form, reducing its length and requiring less preliminary data and fewer specific research methods (2). Further, the National Science Foundation has adopted the language of innovation into every grant review it facilitates. Since 2008, the NSF has used a definition of so-called "transformative" research to instruct reviewers in identifying research on the scientific cutting edge (3).
But, the NIH and the NSF have gone even further and created project-based funding mechanisms that attempt to specifically fund innovative research. For example, the NIH's Exceptional, Unconventional Research Enabling Knowledge Acceleration (EUREKA) Awards "target investigators who are testing novel, unconventional hypotheses or are pursuing major methodological and technical challenges" (4). Demonstrating that it, too, will fund yet-untested ideas, the NSF has created the Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) to support potentially transformative ideas or approaches in the absence of preliminary data (5).
Other agencies in the U.S. defense and energy departments are specifically tasked with funding innovative research projects. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is famous for supporting efforts that led to the development of the stealth fighter and the Internet (6). The Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, ARPA-E, is modeled after DARPA and aims to fund "nimble, creative inventive approaches to transform the global energy landscape" (7).
While federal agencies rely on project-based grants to fund the vast majority of research, some private foundations have developed different philosophies. By funding "people, not projects," Howard Hughes Medical Institute believes that scientists will be able to "capitalize on a flash of insight that occurs at three in the morning," Gerald M. Rubin, vice president of the institute, said in recent testimony before the U.S. House of Representatives' Committee on Science and Technology (8). The institute's investigator program provides multiyear funding to individuals who will creatively push the boundaries of science, working at the frontiers of their chosen fields. With funding that is not tied to any specific project or proposal, the institute hopes to give investigators the "ability to move quickly to take advantage of unforeseen targets of opportunity," Rubin said.

In almost every game (mostly action or platformer games) there's always that one level that we dislike, hate or absolutely despise. It's the one that thought was crap upon our first playthrough, and it's the one we dread upon each replay. It might have caused you immense frustration and made you tear out your hair, it might have seemed almost impossible, it might have been one of those levels that presents a problem that seems to have no solution whatsoever, it might have been poorly designed, it might have been annoying, or you might've just plain not liked it for your own personal reasons. For whatever reason it may be, we all have levels that we hate and wish never existed.
So share your tales of frustration here, tear your least favourite levels to shreds, nitpick, explain why these levels were so terrible, and criticize and abuse the designers of said levels (whoever they may be).

A serious fall in which you land on your face. It's called a "face plant" because it appears as if you're trying to do an impression of a plant with your face as its roots.
Last night at Sigma Chi I was so wasted that I slipped, bounced off the ramp, and did a serious face-plant onto the ground below.

Act of hitting the ground face-first; a term generally used by participants in extreme sports.
"He was thrown over the handlebars of his bike and did a faceplant in the mud."
by cowboy00242
September 17, 2003
A trick in all freestyle sports such as skateboarding or snowboarding in which the athlete contacts the ground with his or her face. Term is derived from other tricks such as a foot plant or hand plant in that the trick involves placing a body part on the ground as part of the trick. Although wildly popular, the face plant is rarely performed on purpose.
Person 1: "Dude, that was the gnarliest face plant I've ever seen!"
Person 2: "I should go to the hospital."

An unintentional result of a risky or stupid activity whereby a person becomes fully inverted from the normal upright position while one or more parts of the face impact the ground simultaneously with the full weight of the body.
A faceplant (also face plant) is like doing a handstand except with no hands so all that's left is your face.

Citi Field to host another All-Star-caliber matchup
Mets phenom Harvey squares off with veteran Lee to finish series
The Midsummer Classic might be over, but fans will be treated to an All-Star pitching matchup at Citi Field on Sunday, when Mets phenom Matt Harvey takes the mound against left-hander Cliff Lee, who has been the Phillies' best pitcher this season.
Both Harvey and Lee are in the top 10 in the National League in strikeouts, ERA and innings pitched, and both threw for the NL in Tuesday's All-Star Game. Harvey -- who leads the league in punchouts, with 147 -- got the start in his home park and pitched two shutout innings, with three strikeouts.
"As a kid, I don't think you could ever imagine it," Harvey said. "This whole experience has been absolutely incredible for me, something I'll never forget."
When asked about facing Harvey, Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said, "We've got a guy pretty good, too. That's what makes it great. That's what makes it a good game. How do we have to approach him? We've got to make him throw strikes and try to get good balls to hit. He's a power pitcher with overpowering stuff, and his secondary stuff is real good. He commands it. He's tough to beat, but that doesn't mean we can't do it."
In his All-Star outing, Lee allowed one run on two hits in one inning of work against American League foes. He earned his All-Star spot by winning 10 games and racking up 125 strikeouts in the season's first half, though he was not his usual self in his most recent start, on July 10, when he surrendered four solo home runs to the Nationals in a 5-1 loss.
Mets: Collins hoping to finish season strong
The Mets have not finished a season at or above .500 since 2008, a stretch that includes seasons in which they faded in the second half. They go into Sunday nine games below the break-even mark, but they are 9-6 in July.
Manager Terry Collins said that finishing the season strong and getting to .500 is "a goal that a number of people would like us to achieve."
"There are some things we wish we could have changed, but one of the things that's very important [is that] if you're going to win, you've got to win when the grinding gets tough," he said. "And that's the second half of the season. The weather's tough. You've already got 300, 400 at-bats. That's when the real good teams beat up the teams that aren't as good."
Phillies: Young says Phillies due for good stretch
The Phillies spent most of the season hovering just below the .500 mark, but with a 10-5 July, they are creeping into the playoff race. And if they can pick up a win on Sunday, they'll have their fifth straight series win.
Despite injuries to such key players as Ryan Howard, Ben Revere and Mike Adams, the Phillies have hung around. Veteran third baseman Michael Young thinks the team was due for its recent success.
"At the end of the day, we all believed in each other and we knew it could come," Young said. "The biggest thing was just making sure we stay focused on every at-bat and just continue to have a good ... offensive approach. I think that's one thing we've been doing really well, just bearing down on fundamentals, and things have been clicking."
Worth noting
• Over a 37-game span since June 5, David Wright is hitting .348 with 24 runs scored, 14 doubles, seven home runs and 17 RBIs.
• Chase Utley has two home runs and six RBIs in the first two games of the series.

Foldvary: Oil and War and Iraq
February 17, 2003 | Posted by Staff under Editorials |
Oil and War and Iraq
by Fred E. Foldvary, Senior Editor
Millions demonstrated against a war in Iraq on February 15, 2003. Thousands more demonstrated on, Sunday, February 16, in San Francisco. A common cry of the protesters is "No blood for oil!". The implication is that the chiefs of the USA seek primarily to control the oil fields in Iraq. The heart of the protest is that such economic motive is morally wrong.
This slogan and thought is most unfortunate. It just doesn't make sense. Oil is indeed involved in this conflict, but it is not the control of Iraqi oil. What good is control? What an economy needs is the consumption of oil, not its control. There is a global market for oil, and it is available at some price, and an economy can get all the oil it wants by paying the market price. Maybe the protesters think the US wants to steal the oil. But that would be politically impossible, as would any long-term control over the oil fields. The whole idea is intellectually empty. These protesters are reflexing rather than thinking.
What is in the interest of the US is that the great oil fields of the Middle East not be controlled by a hostile dictator. The chiefs of Iraq have shown themselves to be aggressive. They invaded Kuwait and waged a long war against Iran. They finance and promote terrorism against the State of Israel. Moreover, these Mesopotamian chiefs have shown themselves to have haughty pride. They could have withdrawn from Kuwait before being attacked, but chose not to.
Many people in the Middle East have been seduced by propaganda to believe they are superior to decadent, soft, and unvaliant European and North American peoples. They think the tough, fierce believing desert warriors will win against the morally corrupt infidels, especially with the Almighty on their side. They fail to understand history, which has shown that beneath the superficial fineries of Western civilization lies the most violent culture the world has ever known. This elegant European civilization massacred the American Indians, enslaved the Africans, and mass-murdered the Jews, and sought global domination. The history of Europe and their descendants is of conquest, slaughter, and persecution.
In their self-delusion, the chiefs of Iraq may believe that once they have nuclear bombs, along with chemical and biological weapons, they can march again into Kuwait and then to Arabia and seize half the world's oil supply. No power will then dare attack it, and the chiefs of Iraq will then achieve their dream, the complete destruction of Israel. This will make them the heroic leaders of the Arab and Muslim world. This is the real oil connection — the chiefs of the USA fear Iraqi control over the Arabian oil fields and thus of the global oil supply.
The motivation for war in Iraq is overdetermined, meaning there are multiple inter-related causes. A major cause is the Iraqi financing of Palestinian terror against Israel; so long as that continues, it is impossible to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The chiefs of Iraq could stop doing this, and avoid war, but they won't, because that is their reason for living.
While the causes of war are overdetermined, they are not sufficient. The way to stop Iraq's financing of Palestinian terror is to present and impose a just peace plan. The peaceful way to prevent Iraqi domination of Arabian oil is to continue the United Nations inspections. The Iraqis can hide weapons, but they cannot deploy them while they are hidden.
The trigger for war in Gulf War II may be another large terror attack by Al Qaida. If the chiefs of the USA are clever, they are arranging the troops to be ready for attack, but will not actually do this so long as the US is itself not attacked. A credible threat to attack Iraq would then really be a defense against anther terrorist attack. Given the massive demonstrations against the war and the opposition world-wide, there are extreme political obstacles to an unprovoked attack. All this will vanish if the US gets provoked.
Unfortunately, the "No Blood for Oil" protesters weaken the case for peace by not presenting a more logical and coherent case against war. By making claims that are easily refuted, the protesters have lost moral capital and an opportunity to educate the world on peace. Moreover, all their efforts will be irrelevant if Al Qaida attacks again. Just maybe the terrorists realize this and the US military bluff will work to avoid both another terrorist attack and a war in Iraq.

4 Responses to Foldvary: Oil and War and Iraq
It doesn't seem to me that terrorism in general should be confused with Iraq in particular. I simply do not see the connection.
The idea that George Bush is going to war for oil is not realistic on many fronts. First, if we wanted to control a large oil reserve by war we could, with a very minor effort, take over Kuate. We might consider taking over Mexico. It is closer. US companies developed the oil fields in the 1920s only to have them expropriated without compensation by Mexico.
Thank you, Fred, for your insightful commentary. Indeed, we must revert, again and again to the fundamental principles we can obsaerve, that humanity seeks liberty in expression, and whereever that freedom is compromised, untoward behavior will inevitably erupt. The economic dynamics of land tenure point the way to meaningful peace policy.
Foldvarys analysis of the Blood for oil question would be accurate if the Administration was actually representing American interests. They represent themselves. Look no further then the way land was siezed by the state and eventually ended up making millions for George as Governer. Now he has the US Army ready to scroung for his pillage.

Woodson's Mill
Woodson's Mill is located just across the Piney River from Lowesville, Virginia. The building is a historic landmark, but Woodson's Mill is still a busy place. We produce all-natural flours and meals in small batches, by hand, from the best local ingredients available. Our grains are stone-ground slowly to preserve the oils, moisture content, nutrients, and flavor that are often lost in high-speed milling. We do not add preservatives of any kind. And, all the power for grinding comes from the Piney River's water, which runs the Mill's overshot wheel and our hand-dressed millstones, making the entire process renewable and sustainable. Come watch as fresh local corn and wheat are ground into quality grits, cornmeal and flour- the same way they have been since 1794. Open Saturday 12Noon to 4PM or call for appointment. Closed in winter. 804-803-1794.

Starting at | Starting at 17 MPG City - 24 MPG Highway
The Chevrolet Traverse starts at just over $31,000 and offers a lot of space and luxury for the price. Unlike the myriad of minivans available, the Traverse has bold SUV like styling without giving up too much interior volume. The interior space combines with a cushy ride, to make the Traverse a fairly pleasant place to spend time in. The vehicle strikes a very nice balance between these various attributes, making it a good value for families seeking comfortable transportation.
The Chevrolet Traverse has been given a fairly thorough redesign for 2013. It arrives with attractive new styling inside and out. Cabin materials have been improved with lots of soft touch surfaces and a redesigned dashboard which now houses a 6.5-inch color LCD screen.
The Chevy Traverse is powered by a 3.6L V6 Engine mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The engine is good for 288 hp, giving the vehicle plenty of oomph for merging. Power is sent to either the front or to all four wheels with the $2,000 all-wheel-drive option.
