I saw a FB "like" option for Kori Cioca, the named plaintiff, somewhere and hit like. I was going to put this link on her "like" site, then thought the language I use may be offensive to her, so i didn't. Is my language offensive to Ms. Cioca?

Do you think it's more likely or less likely the SC'a automatic cuts will go through knowing the "save the military incentive" set-up against Republican obstructionism is $1T less important to Republicans? Is this another negotiating point O didn't see, or one he saw and didn't mention because he can let it go and play the victim? If we stick to our mantra that he us smart then it's the latter, right? Obama/Hillary 2012. WE LOST THE SUPER COMMITTEE TODAY
Republicans found $1 Trillion in mitary savings today – from military pensions. Do you think it’s more likely or less likely the SC’a automatic cuts will go through knowing the “save the military incentive” set-up against Republican obstructionism is $1T less important to Republicans? Is this another negotiating point O didn’t see, or one he saw and didn’t mention because he can let it go and play the victim? If we stick to our mantra that he us smart then it’s the latter, right?

]]> Comment on JUST WAR CRITERIA SET AGAINST IRAQ by Burt Standish http://bknyt.com/2007/06/05/just-war-criteria-set-against-iraq/#comment-5 Burt Standish Thu, 28 Jun 2007 17:22:30 +0000 http://bknyt.com/?p=74#comment-5 This Just War criteria means The Powell Doctrine cannot, when practiced as preached, be just war. Overwhelming Force, the cornerstone of General Powell's theory flies in the face of "proportionality" and thus never gets past the presumption against non-violence and can never be a just war. This seems to be a shame because the doctrine seems to be workable and likely to save lives both in ending wars quickly and in scaring others out of war with us. I guess the difference is before Iraq (and Viet Nam), war was something necessary. And only since Iraq has war been a preemptive act. Would Colin Powell still support his doctrine in a preemptive war on the slim theory it would cause a proportional amount of fear so as to protect us against the same type of war we would be thrusting in the face of bluster?
