Progressives and Afghanistan
Posted by Michael Cohen
Here's John Brennan's today at CSIS talking about how al Qaeda can only win by getting us to betray our values:
Even more than the attacks that al-Qaeda and its violent affiliates unleash or the blood they spill, they seek to strike at the very essence of who we are as Americans. By replacing our hard-won confidence with fear and by replacing our tolerance with suspicion. By turning our great diversity from a source of strength into a source of division. By causing us to undermine the laws and values that have been a source of our strength and our influence throughout the world. By turning a nation whose global leadership has meant greater security and prosperity for people in every corner of the globe into a nation that retreats from the world stage and abandons allies and partners.
Spencer asks the legitimate follow-up question:
I had to ask him if the Obama administration wasn’t already compromising American values, with all the attendant strategic implications Brennan articulated, by upholding indefinite detention without charge for a cohort of terrorism detainees.
I really couldn't agree more - and Brennan's response (which you can read here) is unconvincing. But here's the part I don't understand (and I really hope this won't produce an aggrieved response from Spencer since I'm not directing this at him, but the entire progressive national security community. What's more, my goal here is not to point fingers, but start a conversation).
If progressives are rightfully up in arms over these civil liberties issues . . why is none of the same sort of venom being directed at escalation in Afghanistan, which in many ways is predicated on the same toxic "war on terrorism" narrative that led to these, continuing, rule of law and human rights abuses. These violations are the logical outgrowth of a 9-year obsessive focus on terrorism as the most serious challenge facing the country - and escalation in Afghanistan, at the cost of $100 billion and 100,000 ground troops, as the central front in the war on terror only continues the process. For all of the pretty words in Obama's recent West Point speech about expanding and promoting democracy and building a better world the lion's share of our foreign aid increases and foreign policy attention is still going to three countries - Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
What's more, for all of the many positive aspects of Obama's effort to transform US foreign policy, escalation in Afghanistan continues so many of its worst features; it's over-reliance on the military at the expense of diplomacy, it's dangerously broad definition of national interests, its obsessive focus on terrorism and "national security," it's inability to recognize limitations and make tough, strategic choices etc.
Like Jim Fallows, I too enjoyed this sentence from Obama's West Point speech, "We understand that neither America nor any nation can dictate every outcome beyond its borders," but yet I see it being contradicted daily by our mission in Afghanistan.
I write this not to be hectoring, but more to understand the divergent responses. I must, at some point, recognize that these sentiments all might just be a by-product of my particular obsession with Afghanistan. But I really do think progressives are ignoring the larger, detrimental aspects of the war in Afghanistan. Am I wrong? And if so, why?

John Brennan: ". . .the laws and values that have been a source of our strength and our influence throughout the world."
Is Brennan speaking of the illegal and destructive US invasions of other countries and the kidnapping, imprisonment and torture of their inhabitants? Probably not.
US influence throughout the world?

The President should request, from General McChrystal a plan to get our troops out of Afganistan, due in two weeks. I am increasingly convinced that our military presence there fuels the conflict by generating nationalist opposition to Western presence and actually destabilizes the country. Progressives want us to throw in the towel, talk and hope for the best.

"Progressives want us to throw in the towel, talk and hope for the best."
Actually, progressives want Obama to do what he said he'd do, in his speech on the New Afghanistan Strategy, March 27, 2009:
". . .together with the United Nations, we will forge a new Contact Group for Afghanistan and Pakistan that brings together all who should have a stake in the security of the region -- our NATO allies and other partners, but also the Central Asian states, the Gulf nations and Iran; Russia, India and China."
Diplomatic action by the Obama administration on Afghanistan? None. All the eggs are in the military basket, a recipe for disaster.

Like many Progressives, I am increasingly convinced that our military presence there fuels the conflict by generating nationalist opposition to Western presence and actually destabilizes the country. It’s something of an insipid question from Cohen. The lobbyists in America are supporting Turkey to make money. They are calming that Turkey is fighting terrorist organizations of PKK only.

timberland boots uk is the classic American success story of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps - literally. In 1918, Nathan Swartz began a boot-making career as an apprentice stitcher at The Abington Shoe Company in Massachusetts. He started on the lowest rung on the ladder, learned his trade, and through hard work and determination eventually became the owner of the company.timberland sale Swartz and his sons continued to make shoes and boots for many manufacturers, and in the 1960s they produced the first truly waterproof boots. The innovation came by fusing soles to leather uppers without stitching.Comfortable enough to wear all day and rugged enough for all year round.waterproof bootstimberland boots sale are equipped to help people make a difference in their world, whatever your definition of that may be. Whether a true hiker or just hiking to work, from boots to chukkas to boat shoes to dress casual oxfords, ShoeMall has men's Timberland shoes of all styles.

Who doesn’t want to ugg boots clearance have a good future? It’s something everyone desires. But, for that, you must first accept that your future is your responsibility. The one who determines whether or not you have a good future is you ugg boots outlet. Don’t expect the circumstances or someone else to take care of it for you. It’s you who must take action ugg boots clearance.
With that understood, what should we do to have a good future ugg boots clearance?
I believe that one important thing you should do is investing in your future. Investing in your future means making some sacrifices in the present to reap rewards later ugg boots clearance. It means investing your time and money in something that might not give you immediate return, but which could give you tremendous value later. It also means preparing for the uncertainties of the future ugg boots clearance.
Sadly, many people don’t do it ugg boots clearance. They only think about the present. Therefore, when something unexpected happens, they aren’t ready and get into a difficult situation. For example, many people just do the same job with the same skills all the time. They don’t improve themselves and prepare for future changes. They neither learn new skills nor expand their knowledge. Then, when the situation changes, their skills are no longer relevant and they lose their job ugg boots outlet.

Wili had learned enough now to see that these were not nearly as simple as making local calls. Communication between towns along the coast was trivial over the fiber, where almost any bandwidth could be accommodated. For longer distances, such as from Naismith's palace to the coast, it was still relatively easy to have video communication: The coherent radiators on the roof could put out microwave and infrared beams in any direction. On a clear day, when the IR radiator could be used, it was almost as good as a fiber (even with all the tricks Naismith used to disguise their location). But for talking around the curve of the Earth, across forests and rivers where no fiber had been strung and no line of sight existed, it was a different story: Naismith used what he called "short-waves" (which were really in the one- to ten meter range). These were quite unsuitable ugg boots clearance for high-fidelity communication. To transmit video-even the wavery blackand-white flat pictures Naismith used in his transcontinental calls - took incredibly clever coding schemes and some realtime adaptation to changing conditions in the upper atmosphere.
The people at the other end brought Naismith problems, and he came back with answers. Not immediately, of course; it often took him weeks, but he eventually thought of something. At least the people at the other end seemed happy. Though it was still unclear to Wili how gratitude on the other side of the continent could help Naismith, he was beginning to understand what had paid for the palace and how Naismith could afford full-scale holo projectors. It was one of these ugg boots clearance problems that Naismith turned over to his apprentice. If he succeeded, they might actually be able to steal pictures off the Authority's snooper satellites.

To do the bridge in the night would be easy," El Sordo said. "Since you make the UGG Boots Clearance condition that it must be done at daylight, it brings grave consequences."
I know it."
You could not do it at night?"
I would be shot for it."
It is very UGG Boots Clearance possible we will all be shot for it if you do it in the daytime."
For me myself that is less important once the bridge is blown," Robert Jordan said. "But I see your viewpoint. You cannot work Out a retreat for daylight?"
Certainly," El UGGS Clearance Sordo said. "We will work out such a retreat. But I explain to you why one is preoccupied and why one is irritated. You speak of going to Gredos as though it were a military manceuvre to be accomplished. To arrive at Gredos would be a miracle."
Robert Ugg boots clearance Jordan said nothing.

By a mixacle of laziness and stupidity of the fascists which they will remedy in time. Of course Ugg boots clearance we are very careful and we make no disturbance in these hills."
I know."
But now, with this, we must go. We must think much about the manner of our going."
Clearly."
Then," said El Sordo. "Let us eat now. I have talked much."
Never have I heard thee talk so much," Pilar said. "Is it this?" she held up the glass.
No," El Ugg boots clearance Sordo shook his head. "It isn't whiskey. It is that never have I had so much to talk of."
I appreciate your aid and your loyalty," Robert Jordan said. "I appreciate the difficulty caused by the timing of the blowing of the bridge."
Don't talk of that," El Sordo said. "We are here to do what we can do. But this is complicated."
And on paper very simple," Robert Jordan grinned. "On paper the bridge is blown at the moment the attack starts in order that nothing shall come up the road. It is very simple."
That they should let us do something on paper," El Sordo said. "That we should conceive and execute something on paper."
Paper bleeds little," Robert Jordan quoted the proverb.
But it is very useful," Pilar said. "_Es muy util_. What I would like to do is use thy orders for that purpose."
Me too," said Robert Jordan. "But you could never win a war like that."

I HOPE my dear,'' said Mr. Bennet to his wife as they were at breakfast the next morning, ``Ugg boots clearancethat you have ordered a good dinner to-day, because I have reason to expect an addition to our family party.''
``Who do you mean, my dear? I know of nobody that is coming, I am sure, unless Charlotte Lucas should happen to call in, and I hope my dinners are good enough for her. I do not believe she often sees such at home.'
uggs clearance'
``The person of whom I speak, is a gentleman and a stranger.''
Mrs. Bennet's eyes sparkled. -- ``A gentleman and a stranger! It is Mr. Bingley, I am sure. Why Jane -- you never dropt a word of this; you sly thing! Well, I am sure I shall be extremely glad to Ugg boots clearancesee Mr. Bingley. -- But -- good lord! how unlucky! there is not a bit of fish to be got to-day. Lydia, my love, ring the bell. I must speak to Hill, this moment.''
``It is not Mr. Bingley,'' said her husband; ``it is a person whom I never saw in the whole course of my life.''Ugg boots clearance
This roused a general astonishment; and he had the pleasure of being eagerly questioned by his wife and five daughters at once.
After amusing himself some time with their curiosity, he thus explained. ``About a month ago I received this letter, and about a fortnight ago I answered it, for I thought it a case of some delicacy, and requiring early attention. It is from my cousin, Mr. Collins, who, when I aUgg boots outletm dead, may turn you all out of this house as soon as he pleases.''
``Oh! my dear,'' cried his wife, ``I cannot bear to hear that mentioned. Pray do not talk of that odious man. I do think it is the hardest thing in the world that your estate should be entailed away from your own children; and I am sure if I had been you, I should have tried long ago to do something or other about it.''
Jane and Elizabeth attempted to explain to her the nature of an entail. They had often attempted it before, but it was a subject on which Mrs. Bennet was beyond the reach of reason; and she continued to rail bitterly against the cruelty of settling an estate away from a family of five daughters, in favour of a man whom nobody cared anything about.
Uggs clearance
``It certainly is a most iniquitous affair,'' said Mr. Bennet, ``and nothing can clear Mr. Collins from the guilt of inheriting Longbourn. But if you will listen to his letter, you may perhaps be a little softened by his manner of expressing himself.''
``No, that I am sure I shall not; and I think it was very impertinent of him to write to you at all, and very hypocritical. I hate such false friends. Why could not he keep on quarrelling with you, as his father did before him?''
``Why, indeed, he does seem to have had some filial scruples on that head, as you will hear.''
UGG Boots Clearance
``Hunsford, near Westerham, Kent, 15th October.
DEAR SIR,
THE disagreement subsisting between yourself and my late honoured father always gave me much uneasiness, and since I have had the misfortune to lose him I have frequently wished to heal the breach; but for some time I was kept back by my own doubts, fearing lest it might seem disrespectful to his memory for me to be on good terms with any one with whom it had always pleased him to be at variance.''
Ugg boots clearance-- ``There, Mrs. Bennet.'' -- ``My mind however is now made up on the subject, for having received ordination at Easter, I have been so fortunate as to be distinguished by the patronage of the Right Honourable Lady Catherine de Bourgh, widow of Sir Lewis de Bourgh, whose bounty and beneficence has preferred me to the valuable rectory of this parish, where it shall be my earnest endeavour to demean myself with grateful respect towards her Ladyship, and be ever ready to perform those rites and ceremonies which are instituted by the Church of England. As a clergyman, moreover, I feel it my duty to promote and establish the blessing of peace in all families within the reach of my influence; and on these grounds I flatter myself that my present overtures of good-will are highly commendable, and that the circumstance of my being next in the entail of Longbourn estate will be kindly overlooked on your side, and not lead you to reject the offered olive branch. I cannot be otherwise than concerned at being the means of injuring your amiable daughters, and beg leave to apologise for it, as well as to assure you of my readiness to make them every possible amends, -- but of this hereafter. If you should have no objection to receive me into your house, I propose myself the satisfaction of waiting on you and your family, Monday, November 18th, by four o'clock, and shall probably trespass on your hospitality till the Saturday se'nnight following, which I can do without any inconvenience, as Lady Catherine is far from objecting to my Nike Shox Clearanceoccasional absence on a Sunday, provided that some other clergyman is engaged to do the duty of the day. I remain, dear sir, with respectful compliments to your lady and daughters, your well-wisher and friend,
WILLIAM COLLINS.''

The average sailor spends anywhere from a few weeks to several months on the Reagan without setting foot on land. This one country, overwhelmed with unsolved domestic problems and corruption, oblivious to all of the death, destruction, and suffering it has caused, somehow believes that it and it alone knows what is best for every human being on the planet.

The President should request, from General McChrystal a plan to get our troops out of Afganistan, due in two weeks. I am increasingly convinced that our military presence there fuels the conflict by generating nationalist opposition to Western presence and actually destabilizes the country. Progressives want us to throw in the towel, talk and hope for the best:S:S:

Altın Çilek dünyanın lif oranı en yüksek meyvesidir. En yakın rakibinden 3,5 kat daha fazla lif içeren yapısı onu dünya zayıflama sektörünün gözdesi yapmıştır. Bu lifli özelliği sayesinde net bir tokluk hissi sağlamakla birlikte en önemli özelliği vücuttan su kaybetmeden, kasları değil yağları hedef alarak kısa zamanda yüksek ve sürekli kilo kaybı sağlamasıdır.
Altın Çilek, Başbakan R.Tayyip Erdoğan'ın da bu meyveyi tükettiğini belirtmesinden sonra, gerçek anlamda hak ettiği değeri bulmaya başladı. En inatçı bünyede bile inanılmaz sonuçlar veren Altın Çilek şu an itibari ile piyasada bulabileceğiniz en kuvvetli zayıflama takviyesidir.

Second,solar water heater the arguments presented spring more from an ideological position than anything solar collectorelse--government intervention is bad, pension benefits are excessive, etc. Most of these arguments are simply not supported by the data--especially when they are investigated at the country and sub-national levels. Few countries in Europe use either a collectivist system or exist as "welfare states." An in-depth look at the health care expenditures of the US v. European countries would immediately show the enormous--and I emphasize enormous--savings in the European systems.

Haha! I feel bad that they don't know how to interact with people. I once went to a similar store here and the salesgirl heard my accent and asked where I was from. I told her "America" and she said, "I really don't like America. It bores me." What the hell kind of thing is that to say to a customer?! If you start training the girls in the US, I hope they'll translate your training films into French....

When foster parents hope to adopt their foster child, it creates a conflict between the needs of the child and the hopes of the parents. On the other hand, if the foster parents don't expect to keep the child, they might not form the same bonds, which would shortchange a child who ends up in their home for a long time.

I must agree with this "If progressives are rightfully up in arms over these civil liberties issues . . why is none of the same sort of venom being directed at escalation in Afghanistan, which in many ways is predicated on the same toxic "war on terrorism" narrative that led to these, continuing, rule of law and human rights abuses. These violations are the logical outgrowth of a 9-year obsessive focus on terrorism as the most serious challenge facing the country - and escalation in Afghanistan, at the cost of $100 billion and 100,000 ground troops, as the central front in the war on terror only continues the process."
We must do action now!
