We visited with our two children (ages 7 & 10) and a group of university students. We had visited the area in January 2013 and were surprised at how different the landscape is at this time of year. It is much drier, although the cloud forest areas are still green. We love the concept of the Children's Eternal Rainforest and were glad for a chance to visit the Bajo del Tigre area. Unfortunately, our tour was just before lunch, during the hot part of the day. We did not see much wildlife, although we saw a number of pretty cool birds, including toucans. Our guide was very knowledgeable and did a good job explaining the area and wildlife. We enjoyed our tour of the national preserve in January much more, although the two forests are very different and we went at the wrong time of day/year this time. The national preserve has more of the 'typical' rainforest and pretty waterfalls (although maybe not at this time of year).
My children did enjoy the children's house while we were waiting for the tour to begin.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Health Center
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
In this article
Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Usually, with a few basic changes in diet and activities, IBS will improve over time. Here are some tips to help reduce symptoms:
- Avoid caffeine (in coffee, teas, and sodas).
- Add more fiber to your diet with foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts.
- Drink at least three to four glasses of water per day.
- Don't smoke.
- Learn to relax, either by getting more exercise or by reducing stress in your life.
- Limit how much milk or cheese you eat.
- Eat smaller meals more often instead of big meals.
- Keep a record of the foods you eat so you can figure out which foods bring on bouts of IBS.
Common food "triggers" are red peppers, green onions, red wine, wheat, and cow's milk. If you're concerned about getting enough calcium, you can try to get it from other foods, like broccoli, spinach, turnip greens, tofu, yogurt, sardines, salmon with bones, calcium-fortified orange juice and breads, or calcium supplements.
The following types of drugs are used to treat IBS:
Antispasmodics can control colon muscle spasms, but experts are unsure that these drugs help. They also have side effects, such as making you drowsy and constipated, that make them a bad choice for some people.
Antidiarrheal drugs, such as Imodium, may help with diarrhea.
Laxatives can give short-term relief from constipation.
Bulking agents, such as psyllium, wheat bran, and corn fiber, help slow the movement of food through the digestive system and may also help relieve symptoms.
Antidepressants may also help relieve symptoms in some people.
Linaclotide (Linzess) is a capsule you take once daily on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before your first meal of the day. It helps to relieve constipation by helping bowel movements happen more often. It's not for anyone 17 years old or younger. The drug's most common side effect is diarrhea.
Lubiprostone (Amitiza) can treat IBS with constipation in women when other treatments have not helped. Studies haven't fully shown that it works well in men. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and belly pain. More serious side effects may include, fainting, swelling of the arms and legs, breathing problems, and heart palpitations.
Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions when taking IBS medications, including laxatives, which can be habit forming if you don't use them carefully.

The Hawaiian Archipelago is a stepping stone for dispersal in the Pacific: an example from the plant genus Melicope (Rutaceae)
Abstract:Abstract Aim
Pacific biogeographical patterns in the widespread plant genus Melicope J.R. Forst. & G. Forst. (Rutaceae) were examined by generating phylogenetic hypotheses based on chloroplast and nuclear ribosomal sequence data. The aims of the study were to identify the number of colonization events of Melicope to the Hawaiian Islands and to reveal the relationship of Hawaiian Melicope to the Hawaiian endemic genus Platydesma H. Mann. The ultimate goal was to determine if the Hawaiian Islands served as a source area for the colonization of Polynesia. Location
Nineteen accessions were sampled in this study, namely eight Melicope species from the Hawaiian Islands, four from the Marquesas Islands, one species each from Tahiti, Australia and Lord Howe Island, two Australian outgroups and two species of the Hawaiian endemic genus Platydesma. To place our results in a broader context, 19 sequences obtained from GenBank were included in an additional analysis, including samples from Australia, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Southeast Polynesia and Asia. Methods
DNA sequences were generated across 19 accessions for one nuclear ribosomal and three chloroplast gene regions. Maximum parsimony analyses were conducted on separate and combined data sets, and a maximum likelihood analysis was conducted on the combined nuclear ribosomal and chloroplast data set. A broader nuclear ribosomal maximum parsimony analysis using sequences obtained from GenBank was also performed. Geographic areas were mapped onto the combined chloroplast and nuclear ribosomal tree, as well as onto the broader tree, using the parsimony criterion to determine the dispersal patterns. Results
Phylogenetic analyses revealed that Platydesma is nested within Melicope and is sister to the Hawaiian members of Melicope. The Hawaiian Melicope + Platydesma lineage was a result of a single colonization event, probably from the Austral region. Finally, Marquesan Melicope descended from at least one, and possibly two, colonization events from the Hawaiian Islands. Main conclusions
These data demonstrate a shifting paradigm of Pacific oceanic island biogeography, in which the patterns of long-distance dispersal and colonization in the Pacific are more dynamic than previously thought, and suggest that the Hawaiian Islands may act as a stepping stone for dispersal throughout the Pacific.

VERY IMPORTANT Please Read
This is a bmail I recieved today. I am enraged…This is rediculous. RED BUBBLE does not have to right to give the public this option…..
did you know this
If folks would go to Account Details…on the left side of their feed page under the Account section, have them scroll down on the page to where it says Image Settings. There they will find a box that says Pineterest…HIDE pin it , they should check this box.
As far as watermarks go, I find them useless, for as a Photoshop artist, they can be removed anyway, and it inhibits the viewing of the image to the viewer. Anyway, the images people see here are such low resolution, who wants them!
Pinterest came out a while ago, allowing a so called community to share interests, art, events, etc. People can go from site to site and pint their own work or the work of others for supposed further promotion. I had no damn idea that they had rights to use our image or would allow it to be used by others…this pissed me off royally!
Like I said though even if you wish not to be pinned and turn the feature off, there is still a way others can pin your images to their boards…I think RB is WRONG for endorsing this company, as I am sure they read the fine print which fools like me did not!
Hope this helps.

How did you learn to make sushi?
"I learned all the fundamental skills from different Japanese sushi masters. Also, I received great training when I joined the sushi team through Whole Foods Market where I learned to select more health-conscious ingredients that are freshly local grown, natural and organic. Besides this, I learned a unique management system in operation."
What is your favorite sushi to make?
"I enjoy making any customized sushi upon customer's request. It would be anything from a simple vegetable maki to freshly sliced sashimi. However, our most popular items are Dragon Maki & Rose Lady ... from our menu."
What is the most difficult to make?
"There's nothing too difficult for me to make, but all I can say is, sushi is easy to make, but it takes a life time to master. For example, cooking rice is easy but it takes years of practice and experience to cook a good batch of sushi rice. Sincerely, I prepare everything with my heart and do the best I can to satisfy each customer."
Some people think sushi has to be raw fish. Does it?
"I think people are getting better at understanding these days that sushi isn't always raw. We have a vast selection of vegetable and cooked sushi items in our menu."
Do you think sushi is healthy?
"Absolutely! However, the specific nutritional value of sushi depends on the ingredient of a particular piece of sushi. Also, it would be a danger if a sushi chef does not handle it properly."
What sushi do you recommend for people trying it for the first time?
"I would recommend people who never had sushi before to start from maki with cooked ingredients or without fish, like California maki, cucumber and avocado maki, which are also the most popular maki in the U.S. Personally, I would recommend dragon maki, snow mountain maki and scorpion maki. After you tried maki, you could graduate to nigiri sushi." (Nigiri sushi is a common type of sushi made of an oblong mound of rice usually topped with a piece of fish.)
What do you suggest people drink with sushi? Sake?
"Yeah. Sake is the priority partner of sushi. And, we have the best sake here. Green tea, plum wine, Champagne and Japanese beer is also good match for sushi."
Why did you decide to be a sushi chef?
"It is an interesting job and I like to work with people. I like when customers are happy and I succeed in making good sushi. A lot of customers remember my name and come here looking for me. I make a lot of good friends. Feedback from Facebook makes me feel good."
Have you trained anyone to make sushi?
"I've trained a lot of people. It is good for younger generations to get into. Younger generations are more ambitious. I like that part of the job."

I am glad to have ESPN First Take back. Not on ESPNews, not on 10 AM only, not for an hour only, a two hour show on ESPN2 that I can watch at 10 or at 12 if I wake up later, and thankfully I have it.
Ever since I wrote about it, ESPN First Take has really been beefing up the number of interviews on their program (thanks for reading ESPN!) But seriously, this is why people watch, and to see Skip Bayless go nuts about something, and that is exactly what we got on the July 6, 2010 episode.moreless

This is a serial killer book with a couple of very interesting features. The first is, it was written back when stories about serial killers weren�t very common and so, was pretty groundbreaking stuff. The second is that it is written entirely in the first person from the point of view of the killer, so we get the total range of emotions from before, during and after each murder. The thought processes that prompt every action and the way he goes about covering up his tracks really does make for interesting reading.
We get a terrific example of the grim style of Jim Thompson�s storytelling that is at once captivating and slightly horrifying. The Killer Inside Me fully deserves the praise that I�ve seen given to it and I�m adding my own to it here.
The last forty to fifty pages of this book are captivatingly brilliant prose -- arguably the best by Mr. Thompson -- and should be carefully read (if not reread) by serious fans of mystery or noir as well as budding mystery, thriller, and suspense writers. They serve not only as a character study into the mind of a madman who finally understand what he is but also give a definitive explanation into why the narrator will never accept what he's done (the people he's killed, those he's punished, etc.) as being morally wrong.
All in all, it's one damn fascinating character study that takes a while to get going ... but, once it does, it's one wild ride.
'The Killer Inside Me' is the story of deputy sheriff in a small (fictitious) Texan oil town. He narrates his thoughts and actions in controlling, and mostly not controlling, his inner rage which leads to murder. He is cold, calculating, and very intelligent. His behaviour is horrific, but fortunately Jim Thompson spares us from the technicolor graphics (as opposed to the more recent 'American Psycho' novel, based on a broadly similar story). So 'The Killer Inside Me', while a shocking and depressing read, is not like reading the screenplay of a slasher flick.
Bottom line: a simple story brilliantly told. We get to enter the mind of a homocidal maniac, witness his dirty deeds, and are left speechless. Strongly recommended.

One of the best features though is the large padded handlebars which give kids a sturdy place to really launch themselves into the air. My daughter can't seem to get enough of the iBounce thanks to these amazingly designed handles. She jumps so hard and high, that at first I was a little worried she would tip the trampoline over, but this is one well-made fitness toy! The iBounce takes all of the punishment and enthusiasm my daughter can give it and is still ready for more.
If you're searching for the perfect way to bring some exercise and kinesthetic fun indoors, then the iBounce Kids Trampoline is a must! Your little one will have a blast jumping and hopping away with RompyRoo and you'll love knowing that they are doing something that will keep them happy and healthy, no matter the weather!
Once I received the replacement cords in the mail, I started to disassemble the trampoline and found that the other two cords were frayed and nearly broken as well. The cord is bulging and fraying at every single o-ring that is in the mat. When I contacted customer support, they instructed me to file the metal down to make sure there were no burrs that were causing wear-and-tear on the cords, yet when I felt along the inside of these rings, they were perfectly smooth. Besides that, if the O-rings did contain burrs, that tells me they have an issue with quality control and inspections. Filing down the insides of these rings should not be the job of the customer, especially for the price I paid. If this is an essential step, it should have been included in the assembly instructions, but it wasn't.
To make matters worse, once I removed the mat, I found that it was stretching and starting to tear at each of the O-rings.Read more ›
The RompyRoo is exactly what we needed to solve that problem. It's just the right size to fit in a playroom without taking all the space; and can be easily stored in a large size closet if needed.
Our daughter loves it! It's a great way to get all that energy out of her, especially on the snow days when we can't get her run around outside. The first day she jumped on it she put in solid 12 hours of sleep afterwards; and that's a winner in my book!
The tablet holder that comes along is a great idea!
My only comment is about the assembly. My husband was able to assemble it in under an hour and on his own, but he did mention that it's a tricky project for one person because some steps require aligning the parts just right. Two people could definitely do it without a problem.
It was fun while it lasted, but frankly the gauntlet the company makes you run to get replacement parts is way too much hassle. I'm irritated I didn't save the packaging because it would be returned right away otherwise.
The problem is the product does not use springs. Instead, they wrap a bungee cord around the frame to provide the bounce. This cord stretches and rubs against the frame with each bounce and this causes chaffing. After about 4 weeks it begins fraying, and then a few days later it snaps. So it is designed to fail, and fail quickly it will.
My daughter is 40lbs - practically half of the weight limit the product claims to support. It's expensive and it breaks quickly - that's all you need to know about the ibounce.

Measure in the cachaca. Cap and shake vigorously. Pour into and old-fashioned glass. Garnish with a slice of kiwifruit.
Most Helpful
I know this is only a drink but if I could give it more than 5 stars I would. WOW....delicious. I did have to sub with white rum though. I had actually doubled the recipe. So I used the whole lime and the whole kiwi. I used the castor sugar which is much finer than the regular sugar. I had as a garnish a piece of lime and a piece of kiwi, but by the time I took the picture the kiwi fell in.. As I said I doubled the recipe but only got this one glass filled (for me..lol ) Didn't know if I should of had ice in my glass so that could be why it only made one nice healthy drink. Going to make a trip to the liquor store and get some cachaca to try again. I already have kiwis on my shopping list. Such a nice refreshing drink....I love it... Thanks for sharing College Girl.. UPDATE: I went and bought the Cachaca and I will have to say it tastes so much better with it. Well worth buying. I won't say how many of these drinks I have had now College Girl..But I sure hope kiwis have a excellent health benefit for me because I am addicted.
YUMMO!!!!! I really enjoy caipirinhas and this was just as good! Thanks!!
It's very yummy. I used one small kiwi. 1/3 of it was not enough. I used powdered sugar. Thanks College Girl :) Made for TYM tag game

Tri-State's research projects range from compressed air storage to improved transmission reliability
In addition to working through a long list of project improvements to its generation and transmission system in 2009, Tri-State is ramping up research and development studies that could bring even greater value to the power it provides to its membership.
In addition to Tri-State's ongoing participation in several carbon capture and sequestration research and demonstrations projects, the G&T has also partnered with the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and, in some instances, other utilities on at least four projects ranging from gaining improvements in transmission line-loading data to a possible future investment in a compressed-air energy storage facility.
Solar-assist project studied
With a goal of increasing power plant efficiency while incorporating renewable technologies, the association is studying a solar project for Escalante Station.
According to Riley Moore, senior engineer, Tri-State is working with EPRI on a study to explore the viability of siting concentrating, trough-type solar collectors to supply heat to Escalante Generating Station's steam reboiler. This would allow for a full return of cold reheat steam to the plant's boiler and would boost steam turbine output closer to the rated capacity of the plant, thereby improving overall station performance.
Tri-State is also participating with several other utilities on an ancillary solar-to-steam study project that could be applied at natural gas-fueled, combined-cycle plants in Arizona, Nevada and other states.
Other potential benefits of a solar-augmented steam-cycle facility include adding utility-scale solar power generation without the challenges of siting a new plant and new power block, reducing the plant's CO2 footprint, as well as gaining valuable experience with solar thermal technologies to assess their future potential in the utility's generation mix.
ITM could boost advanced coal plants
The G&T is studying a new technology under investigation by EPRI that could be applied in an advanced coal plant, such as an integrated gasification combined-cycle (IGCC) or an oxy-combustion unit. IGCC is a process in which a fuel, such as coal, is converted to low heating value, high-hydrogen gas in a process called gasification. The gas is then used as a primary fuel to operate a gas turbine.
Successful application of this technology could be a critical next step in viably moving forward with a fleet of clean coal-fueled power plants. The process, referred to as ion transport membrane (ITM), uses dense, nonporous, mixed-conducting ceramic membranes to separate oxygen from air for use in an IGCC plant's gasifier.
Potential benefits of this unique technology are a 7 percent reduction in the capital costs associated with an IGCC plant, a dramatic reduction in the internal power required in the IGCC process and a decrease in the oxygen footprint of an IGCC plant by up to 50 percent. Tri-State's participation in this research would partially support the testing of a pre-commercial test unit that could be integrated with a 5-to-15-megawatt gas turbine.
Compressed-air storage
Tri-State is working to host a compressed-air energy storage (CAES) demonstration project in its service territory. The G&T is pursuing an effort with EPRI that could site a project in eastern Colorado, which could help the G&T and other participating utilities further develop the next generation of this promising energy storage technology.
CAES plants use off-peak electricity to compress air into a storage system such as a tank or underground cavern. When electricity is needed, the air is withdrawn from the storage vessel, heated (usually with gas or oil) and processed by an expansion turbine to drive an electric generator.
Tri-State could eventually use CAES technology to augment the intermittent characteristics of renewable generation such as wind power. The utility applications for bulk energy-storage CAES plants include peak shaving, load management, load following, frequency regulation, spinning reserve and wind energy storage and dispatch.
Compressed-air energy storage (CAES) power plants are not a new technology. PowerSouth Energy Cooperative has operated its 348-megawatt CAES McIntosh Power Plant in Alabama since 1991. This first generation CAES unit at McIntosh produces 110 megawatts of capacity in conjunction with two gas-fired combustion turbines to achieve the total output of 348 megawatts. It remains as the only utility-scale CAES plant operating in the United States today.
Power line rating methods
One study aimed at reviewing and standardizing line rating methodologies is being spearheaded by Tri-State's Mark Graham, transmission planning manager, and his engineering staff. As transmission line loads increase and warm temperatures heat up lines, ground clearance must be maintained and conductors must be protected from overheating to prevent permanent damage.
"With the help of EPRI's statistical studies, we plan to develop standardized benchmarks for rating power lines," explained Graham. "This research will help us more precisely estimate how much power can safely be transferred on transmission lines at various times of the year at different locations."

Having struggled a bit to find a configuration that will work for me (and I'm not out of the woods yet), it occurs to me that Kdenlive must have access to a lot of information that could have helped me out. What I'm talking about is stuff like operating system and version, loaded libraries and packages, and so on. If, perhaps on installation, Kdenlive could offer the user the option of anonymously reporting these details back to a central database, then a set of working configurations could quickly be built up that people could browse through and get some clues. The idea could be extended to capture hardware profiles, possibly run a couple of benchmark tests and, with an optional user experience questionnaire, find out what users think about the setup they're using.
Any takers?

2010 8Ball & MJG - From the Bottom 2 the Top[edit]
2010 "8Ball & MJG - From the Bottom 2 the Top" is 8Ball & MJG studio album released on independent record label "Real Talk Entertainment" in 2010. Why this album deleted by somebody? What's wrong?
"Real Talk Entertainment" label on Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Talk_Entertainment
This is official studio release (not bootleg, mixtape of something like this), like all others releases on this label, for example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pimp_Tight https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doin'_It_Big https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_on_D-Block https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rehab
1) Official 8Ball & MJG website - http://www.thereal8ballandmjg.com/
You can see in discography section album "From The Bottom 2 The Top"
And their official myspace page - https://myspace.com/8ballandmjg/music/album/from-the-bottom-2-the-top-16425242
2) Official "Real Talk Entertainment" website - http://www.realtalkent.com/albums/8ballmjg.htm
3) This album selling on Amazon and others sites (Amazon didn't selling bootlegs or other unofficial releases):
http://www.amazon.com/From-Bottom-Top-8Ball-MJG/dp/B003V3FUUS https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/from-the-bottom-2-the-top/id1009043732 http://www.allmusic.com/album/from-the-bottom-2-the-top-mw0001996411 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 19:19, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
- Non of those sources are reliable, if it was an official album it would have received a lot more coverage. The "From the Bottom 2 the Top" article was recently deleted because of this. I would suggest reading WP:RELIABLE. Koala15 (talk) 05:20, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
"Non of those sources are reliable"
Why do you think that official 8Ball & MJG website and official myspace page (you think 8Ball & MJG dind't know what they release?) or official label website are not reliable sources for Wikipedia? It's fully fits WP:RELIABLE
"if it was an official album it would have received a lot more coverage"
This album wouldn't received a lot more coverage because this is independent release, not on major label. Please give some proofs that this in not official release. Give some links to reliable sources where we can read about this. Or you can't give any proofs? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 07:32, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
"Amazon, iTunes and MySpace are not reliable"
I post links not only to this sites - label and 8Ball & MJG official website too (this is 2 reliables sources for Wikipedia rules and this sources saying this is an official album).
"The album is clearly made up of old material anyway"
Proofs? And so? If album made up of remixed old material - this album can not be official or what? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 19:46, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
"Unofficial album's are released all the time"
But not on labels. Go to this link and read - http://www.realtalkent.com/albums/8ballmjg.htm
"Now 8Ball & MJG, along with Real Talk Entertainment, are prepared to release their 8th album "From The Bottom 2 The Top"
"None of the sources you cited are reliable"
Oficial labels sites - it's reliable sources for Wikipedia rules. If you don't agree - it's you personal opinion, not Wikipedia rules for reliable sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 08:00, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Donald Rumsfeld to Diane Sawyer: 'It's Possible' Troop Decisions Were a Mistake in Iraq
There are 35 comments on the ABC News story from Feb 7, 2011, titled Donald Rumsfeld to Diane Sawyer: 'It's Possible' Troop Decisions Were a Mistake in Iraq. In it, ABC News reports that:More than four years after leaving public life, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld continues to believe the war in Iraq was worth the effort, and has no apologies for his decision-making in leading the campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Allowing Donald Rumsfeld to make battlefield decisions was the worse mistake George Bush ever made. He was nothing but a penny pinching miser. When you go to war you go all out to win. If you want to pinch pennies then don't go to war. The failures early in the Iraq war were caused by Rumsfeld's dictatorial leadership and his desire to "shrink" the military at all cost.

Attention Diane Sawyer, you Ivory Tower Douchebag!!! When are you going to question the treasonous self-serving democRat gas-bags below?
Imagine yourself day in and day out roaming around the streets of Baghdad while the enemy is listening to the treasonous democRats below via Al Jazzera and being inspired to push on, to fight a little harder, the American people are getting weaker and weaker
Democrat John Kerry, Feb. 2007: "The simple fact is that sending in over 20,000 additional troops isn't the answer--in fact, it's a tragic mistake. It won't end the violence; it won't provide security; ...it won't turn back the clock and avoid the civil war that is already underway; it won't deter terrorists, who have a completely different agenda; it won't rein in the militias."
Democrat Dennis Kucinich, Feb. 2007: "It has been proven time and time again that troop surges don't work."
Democrat Harry Reid, Apr. 2007: "The war is lost... This surge is not accomplishing anything."
Democrat Christopher Dodd, Apr. 2007: "We don't need a surge of troops in Iraq... there is no military solution in Iraq. To insist upon a surge is wrong."
Democrat Barack Obama, Jul. 2007: "My assessment is that the surge has not worked."
Democrat Dick Durbin, Aug. 2007: "By carefully manipulating the statistics, the Bush-Petraeus report will try to persuade us that violence in Iraq is decreasing and thus the surge is working. Even if the figures were right, the conclusion is wrong."
Democrat Jan Schakowsky, Aug. 2007: "I believe overall the surge is a failure....Its clear to me we cannot win..."
Democrat Joe Biden, Sep. 2007: "We should stop the surge and start bringing our troops home...[When asked whether Iraq closer to political reconciliation than before the surge began, and would continuing the operation stop the killing between Sunnis, Shi'ites and Kurds?]...The answer to both those questions is no."
Democrat John Kerry, Sep. 2007: ""The president's escalation ... has failed to achieve its goal of bringing about a resolution of the fundamental conflict between Sunni and Shi'ite."
Democrat Chris Dodd, Sep. 2007: "It pains me to say that ... the surge tactic is a failure and that failure is reconfirmed everyday by unfolding events in Iraq."
Democrat Barack Obama, Oct. 2007: "[The surge is a] complete failure... Iraqs leaders are not reconciling. They are not achieving political benchmarks."
Democrat Harry Reid, Nov. 2007: "It is indisputable that the goals of the surge have failed."
Democrat Joe Biden, Nov. 2007: "This whole notion that the surge is working is fantasy."
Democrat Nancy Pelosi, Feb. 2008: "There haven't been gains [in Iraq]... The gains have not produced the desired effect, which is the reconciliation of Iraq. This is a failure. This is a failure."
Democrat Carl Levin, Apr. 2008: "...the purpose of the surge as announced by President Bush last year... has not been achieved"
Democrat Joe Biden, Apr. 2008: "The purpose of the surge was to bring violence in Iraq down so that its leaders could come together politically. Violence has come down, but the Iraqis have not come together... We Democrats understand that this war must end..."
Democrat Bill Richardson, Jun. 2008: "[when asked if he was ready to concede that John McCain had been right in proposing the surge, said] "Absolutely not."

And in your tiny little mind, how would that change Rumsfelds admission that using our troops, wasting American lives, and borrowed funds to nation-build was a mistake?
People like you claim to be sooooo much better than Dems, while you sit on your ivory couch. But when the actions of your are less than correct, you scream "Dems did it also" in defense.
Face it, Bush's, Rumsfeld, and company made one of the biggest mistakes since the Repub party has existed. It's cost this nation much in spending and lives.
All because folks like you believed "God told Bush" to liberate Shia Muslims, cause folks like you lamented "Saddam is hurting his own people".
The tea-party didn't tea-bag the repub party because dems weren't sticking to repub party principles.
Repub party will forever be lost, cause repubs like your turn the other way and point out Dem issues, while your own party makes huge mistakes like this one.
Go ahead, Tell us "dems liberated shia muslims and used our troops to nation build in Iraq on borrowed funds also...na nana na na!"
Feel better. That erases your support of Rumsfeld admitted mistake right?
#6 Feb 7, 2011
Blah blah blah.
God told Bush to liberate Shia Muslims from Sunni Muslims in Iraq.
You believed it, and supported Nation-Building using U.S. troops. Costing American lives. You supported borrowing funds from NUKE power and economic competitor, Communist China.
You supported not putting the cost on the U.S. Budget for 5 years, but instead allowing "emergency funding requests" from Bush, so this way the cost of nation-building doesn't have to be budgeted for.
What in your post changed that, or makes you feel as though your posts erases YOUR mistakes?
I'll help you. NOTHING.
#7 Feb 7, 2011
Let's clear this up once and for all .......
It was I and not Hans Blix that found the weapons of mass destruction.
I was walking down a back street in Baghdad one day with a U.S. military officer when I suddenly looked down on the ground and found 11 paper clips and 4 rubber bands.
I quickly telephoned my findings to President George W. Bush in Washington and he immediately declared me a hero.

But no mobile chem lab?
When they build that Atlantic Ocean Parkway, allowing the Mobile Chem Lab to threatened the U.S. we are toast.
Use our satellites (or pull out Google maps). We can see the date on a quarter from 60 miles, so I'm sure we can track a mobile chem lab. But then again, Bush and Rummey didn't want to waste time tracking lies and spin.
You must find it.

Anyone get the feeling that if this story lead with "Obama admits mistake with troops.....", we'd have 4 pages of posting from the typical rightwing sheep Bush and Palin fans by now.
This story must show up with a very very small font on the screens of those typical neo-con, nation-building, Shia Muslim liberation using my taxes and borrowed funds, rightwing hypocrites.

A Spy Speaks Out
Former Top CIA Official Tyler Drumheller On "Faulty" Intelligence Claims /
http://tinyurl.com/rle4x / April 23, 2006
"The policy was set. The war in Iraq was coming and they were looking for intelligence to fit into the policy."
Tyler Drumheller CIA Ret.
(CBS) When no weapons of mass destruction surfaced in Iraq, President Bush insisted that all those WMD claims before the war were the result of faulty intelligence. But a former top CIA official, Tyler Drumheller a 26-year veteran of the agency has decided to do something CIA officials at his level almost never do: Speak out.
He tells correspondent Ed Bradley the real failure was not in the intelligence community but in the White House. He says he saw how the Bush administration, time and again, welcomed intelligence that fit the president's determination to go to war and turned a blind eye to intelligence that did not.
Ex-CIA Official Paul Pillar Faults Use of Data on Iraq
Intelligence 'Misused' to Justify War, He Says
February 10, 2006 / http://tinyurl.com/azl6w
The former CIA official who coordinated U.S. intelligence on the Middle East until last year has accused the Bush administration of "cherry-picking" intelligence on Iraq to justify a decision it had already reached to go to war, and of ignoring warnings that the country could easily fall into violence and chaos after an invasion to overthrow Saddam Hussein.
Paul R Pillar's critique is one of the most severe indictments of White House actions by a former Bush official since Richard C. Clarke, a former National Security Council staff member, went public with his criticism of the administration's handling of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and its failure to deal with the terrorist threat beforehand.
It is also the first time that such a senior intelligence officer has so directly and publicly condemned the administration's handling of intelligence.
1948 Smith-Mundt Act The 1948 Smith-Mundt Act prohibited the domestic dissemination of United States government propaganda. The reasoning behind Smith-Mundt was that Congress wanted to be certain that a United States government agency could not brainwash our own citizens as Hitler had done in Germany.

Calling Marine Major Ritter
Like it or not, Marine Major Scott Ritter had it right all along.
By Colonel David Hackworth
Ritter, the United Nations' chief weapons inspector in Iraq until 1998, took us all on virtually alone, against incredible odds stating, "Iraq is not a threat to the U.S." and begging the American people to take charge and not "sit back and allow your government to go to war against Iraq ...[without all] the facts on the table to back this war up."
As per his reputation on training fields and battlefields, this granite-jawed former Marine stood his ground and never flinched. He reminds me of another two-fisted, tell-it-like-it-is Marine, Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler, the recipient of two Medals of Honor, who was almost drummed out of the Marine Corps twice: Once in the 1930s for calling Benito Mussolini a "fascist," and once again a few years later when he rattled the military-industrial complex by daring to declare that "War is a racket."
Ritter, too, took serious punishment from his critics and instead of doing proper due diligence or asking hard questions, the media quickly piled on. It was not Fox's finest hour when that network gleefully painted him as a 21st-century Benedict Arnold not that he had many primetime advocates anywhere else. Even CNN's usually evenhanded Paula Zahn said to Ritter six months before America unleashed its miscalculated military solution on Iraq, "People out there are accusing you of drinking Saddam Hussein's Kool-Aid." http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp...

General Speaks Out on Iraq
Mr. President, you did not listen, General Batiste says in new television advertisements being broadcast in Republican Congressional districts as part of a $500,000 campaign financed by http://www.votevets.org You continue to pursue a failed strategy that is breaking our great Army and Marine Corps. I left the Army in protest in order to speak out. Mr. President, you have placed our nation in peril. Our only hope is that Congress will act now to protect our fighting men and women.
General Eaton's Letter to President Bush on Veto
May 1, 2007 http://tinyurl.com/2umrln
Dear Mr. President,
Today, in your veto message regarding the bipartisan legislation just passed on Operation Iraqi Freedom, you asserted that you so decided because you listen to your commanders on the ground.
Respectfully, as your former commander on the ground, your administration did not listen to our best advice. In fact, a number of my fellow Generals were forced out of their jobs, because they did not tell you what you wanted to hear -- most notably General Eric Shinseki, whose foresight regarding troop levels was advice you rejected, at our troops' peril. http://securingamerica.com/ccn/node/11973
America's Angriest General John Batiste
http://tinyurl.com/2jjohc May 10, 2007
Retired two-star Army Gen. John Batiste is lashing out at the Bush war in Iraq in ads targeting key Republicans up for re-election in 2008. His offensive may change the rules regarding civilian-military relations.
"Mr. President, you did not listen," he says. "You continue to pursue a failed strategy that is breaking our Army and Marine Corps."
The ad is scheduled to air from May 10 to 18, targeting Republican Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), John Sununu (New Hampshire), John Warner (Virginia) and Norm Coleman (Minnesota), and 10 GOP House members, including Mary Bono, Phil English, Randy Kuhl, Jim Walsh and Heather Wilson.

Why Iraq Was a Mistake
By Lt. General GREGORY NEWBOLD, Retired
http://tinyurl.com/p4j93 Apr. 09, 2006
From 2000 until October 2002, I was a Marine Corps lieutenant general and director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. After 9/11, I was a witness and therefore a party to the actions that led us to the invasion of Iraq--an unnecessary war.
Inside the military family, I made no secret of my view that the zealots' rationale for war made no sense. And I think I was outspoken enough to make those senior to me uncomfortable.
But I now regret that I did not more openly challenge those who were determined to invade a country whose actions were peripheral to the real threat--al-Qaeda.
I retired from the military four months before the invasion, in part because of my opposition to those who had used 9/11's tragedy to hijack our security policy. Until now, I have resisted speaking out in public. I've been silent long enough.
General Anthony Zinni, USMC,(Ret.) Remarks at CDI Board of Directors Dinner, May 12, 2004 http://tinyurl.com/8ldmo
I think the first mistake that was made was misjudging the success of containment. I heard the president say, not too long ago, I believe it was with the interview with Tim Russert that ... I'm not sure ... but at some point I heard him say that "containment did not work." That's not true.
So to say containment didn't work, I think is not only wrong from the experiences we had then, but the proof is in the pudding, in what kind of military our troops faced when we went in there.
The third mistake, I think was one we repeated from Vietnam, we had to create a false rationale for going in to get public support. The books were cooked, in my mind. The intelligence was not there. I testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee one month before the war, and Senator Lugar asked me: "General Zinni, do you feel the threat from Saddam Hussein is imminent?" I said: "No, not at all. It was not an imminent threat. Not even close. Not grave, gathering, imminent, serious, severe, mildly upsetting, none of those."

Yeah and we are still there and there are bombings almost everyday. We are still losing troops there and the whole thing was a waste of American lives and money. Just like all the rest of the wars from Korea on.

Scooter Libby Took The Blame To Cover Bush, Cheney, Rove And The Leo Strauss Agenda: The Jig Is Up !

American foreign and defense policy is adrift. Conservatives have criticized the incoherent policies of the Clinton Administration. They have also resisted isolationist impulses from within their own ranks. But conservatives have not confidently advanced a strategic vision of America's role in the world. They have not set forth guiding principles for American foreign policy. They have allowed differences over tactics to obscure potential agreement on strategic objectives. And they have not fought for a defense budget that would maintain American security and advance American interests in the new century.
We aim to change this. We aim to make the case and rally support for American global leadership.

McNamara is best known for his involvement with Vietnam, his unwavering support of the war while it was in progress and eventually his profound regret at what he had done.
Who would have imagined that a rascal like Rummy would make us look back on a scoundrel like McNamara as a sympathetic figure?
