> The Gingrich Doctrine: 'Kill Them!'If ignorance is strength, most of the GOP candidates are powerhousesbyJustin Raimondo, January 18, 2012
> His hands on his ample hips, Newt Gingrich lookedlike Mussoliniup there on the stage at the GOP presidential debate as he bellowed "everybody knows" the Pakistanis were hiding Osama bin Laden in plain sight, "a mile from a Pakistani military academy." Ron Paul, who knows more about monetary policy than the intricacies of the US-Pakistani relationship, stood there looking appalled as Gingrich let loose with his war cry: "Kill them!" The yahooswent wildwith joy. The Newtster was reacting to Paul's point about respecting Pakistani sovereignty – and the dangers of allowing such cross-border raids to become routine. After all, that could work both ways, as Paul tried – in vain – to point out.
> The reality, though, is that the Pakistanis in all likelihooddidknow about the raid well in advance, and it is just as likely they had a hand in the entire operation from the start. As theGuardianreportedat the time:"The US and Pakistan struck a secret deal almost a decade ago permitting a US operation against Osama bin Laden on Pakistani soil similar to last week's raid that killed the al-Qaeda leader, theGuardianhas learned.
> "The deal was struck between the military leader General Pervez Musharraf and President George Bush after Bin Laden escaped US forces in the mountains of Tora Bora in late 2001, according to serving and retired Pakistani and US officials."Under its terms, Pakistan would allow US forces to conduct a unilateral raid inside Pakistan in search of Bin Laden, his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and the al-Qaeda No3. Afterwards, both sides agreed, Pakistan would vociferously protest the incursion.
> "'There was an agreement between Bush and Musharraf that if we knew where Osama was, we were going to come and get him,' said a former senior US official with knowledge of counterterrorism operations. 'The Pakistanis would put up a hue and cry, but they wouldn't stop us.'"Good ol' Musharraf, the one loyal ally we had in the region – dumped by the US State Department for his lack of "democratic" credentials. More real al-Qaeda operatives werearrestedin Pakistan during his tenure than all the efforts of our FBI and CIA combined.
> In any case, it's just common sense the Pakistanis were in on the Abbottabad raid: after all, the Americans set up asafe housein what has been described as a "garrison town" – a feat next to impossible without the Pakistanis knowing about it. As one Pakistani senior officerpointed outto theGlobal Post, the airspace over Abbottabad is a no fly zone: there's no way the US could have pulled off the operation without the full knowledge and cooperation of the Pakistani military. The area around the bin Laden compound was cordoned off by the authorities in the hours prior to the raid, and residents were told to stay inside with their lights out.
> I don't know who's giving Rep. Paul his foreign policy talking points, but in discussions of foreign policyspecifics matter: you can deduce the basic principles of economics from self-evident axioms, as students ofAustrian economics[.pdf] know. However, you cannot do the same when making the case for a non-interventionist foreign policy. This is where empirical evidence is key to understanding what is really going on, as opposed to what our rulers want us to believe.
> Here's the kicker: the same people in the governmentpushingfor more strenuous and overt intervention in Pakistan know all about Musharraf's 2001 agreement with the US, yet they cynically promote the idea that Pakistan was hiding bin Laden in order to advance their own agenda. There are so many layers of deception masking the truth about American foreign policy that peeling them all back is the equivalent of the thirteenthlabor of Hercules.
> Speaking of Monday's Republican debate: if there is any limit to Rick Perry's stupidity, then I suspect we have yet to reach it. His statement that Turkey is ruled by "Islamic terrorists" and ought to be kicked out of NATO was applauded vigorously by the audience – the same audience thatbooed Paulwhen he invoked the Golden Rule. The only problem for Perry and his fans is that Turkey is a vital US ally, and is ruled not by "Islamic terrorists" but by amoderateand staunchlypro-WesternMuslim party democratically elected: the country boasts a modern economy with innumerableeconomicandpoliticalties to the West. Perry's is a gaffe that would normally disqualify its utterer from seeking office higher than alderman: not in today's GOP, however, where ignorance is an asset.
> The impetus for Perry's latest embarrassing faux pas was a leading question from Bret Baier, who appears to embody the lunkheaded viciousness that characterizes the "reporters" at Fox News. He certainly looks and sounds the part: the vacuous stare, the protruding ears like two little radar dishes scanning for targets, the propaganda thatpours outof his mouth as if a button were being pushed somewhere:"Governor Perry, since the Islamist-oriented party took over in Turkey, the murder rate of women has increased 1,400 percent there. Press freedom has declined to the level of Russia. The prime minister of Turkey has embraced Hamas and Turkey has threatened military force against both Israel and Cypress. [sic] Given Turkey's turn, do you believe Turkey still belongs in NATO?"To begin with, a grand total of 953 Turkish women were murdered in the first seven months of 2009, the last time period for which figures areavailable, up from 806 in 2008. The 1400 percent figure comes froma statementby the AKP justice ministerin which he measured the increase from 2002: if the "Islamist terrorists" who run the Turkish government are encouraging the murder of women, why would their own Justice Minister make this kind of statement?
> Secondly, if Senators Joe Lieberman and Lindsey Graham aretrying to convincethe Turks that only they can bring Hamas to the negotiating table, is Turkey's relationship with the rulers of Gaza a plus or a minus for US diplomatic efforts in the region? This is a question Gov. Perry is completely unprepared to ask, let alone answer.
> Perry isway out of his depth, and for him to be presented as a credible candidate for the presidency is a disgrace – and a minus for the GOP, which is hurting itself badly by allowing him to make a fool of himself at each and every debate. Of course, a Governor doesn't have to be an expert on the internal politics of Turkey: if only he'd stayed in Texas, he would have saved himself and his party a lot of trouble.
> Ignorance of such abstruse topics is not a moral failing – unless, that is, one is charged with making life-and-death decisions requiring this kind of specialized knowledge. In that case, it is highly doubtful anyone not immersed in the country one is concerned with could have sufficient understanding to even attempt to make such a decision.Friedrich Hayek, the free market economist, understood that central...

Podcast interview re Iran w/ Amb. John W. Limbert
Iran with Ambassador John W. Limbert. The Ambassador was the first
ever Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Iran in 2009, that is, he
was appointed to a newly created position which put a higher priority
on Iran than it had had previously, and he is currently a professor at
the U.S. Naval Academy. His background is notable also for his having
been, at an earlier stage of his diplomatic career, one of the Embassy
captives during the Iran hostage crisis. The Ambassador points out
that what the U.S. is doing with regard to Iran amounts to a policy of
regime change, even if that is not what we say we want. He notes,
moreover, the contradiction in our condemnation of terrorism generally
with our seeming inability to describe the assassination of Iranian
scientists as terrorism. He's extremely reasonable, well spoken, and
hopes -- as we all do -- that U.S.-Iranian differences can be resolved
peacefully. He is, nevertheless, worried about the danger that the
current situation could lead to an accidental war, more worried than
he has been in the past.

Dear Salman
I am not telling you about social workers I am telling about the politicians who did the social work. Anyways we have no choice left but Imran khan so we have to trust and take risk and I am confident Imran khan will deliver Inshallah. And about terrorism no leader talk more than Ik look at his past 7 years talk shows. We should have positive approach and Inshallah you will see Pakistan progressing under Ik leadership.

Dear Hassan,
Did I say Zardari is honest to Pakistan ? No , I didnt say it. I know the situation of Pakistan where it is standing right now. What is the guaranty if Imran Khan is fail to do what he said ? if PTI did not perform well, will they resign and say sorry to Pakistani Nation that we are fail ? Allah na karay k aisa ho .. May God give him success. Well, if you talk about charity and other things Edhi is performing very well every one is aware of Abdul Satar Edhi's efforts but it didnt mean that he want to be prime minister etc . the Problem that i have with him why he said bad about any one on asking why he didnt reply of it ? 2nd thing is I never ever seen him talk about terrorism or banned insitiutes How to control the Terrorism . he is asking to remove corruption but how about the security of a common people ? you tel me what is more important for you ? Life or corruption ? obveiuosly Life ..

Dear Friend
Imran khan is true muslim and Pakistani. His all struggle is for the people of Pakistan he gave shukat khanem and nimal university for poor people of Pakistan ,you tell me any one in past or sitting govt has done such things answer is no. Second thing the thiefs sitting in govt who even steal zakat and pension of poor people are willing to help Pakistani people? If some one give them a plan ,are they sincere to implement ? Koreans took the financial program of Pakistan and where are they now? Why Pakistani politician used same plan for their own country? Benazier income program money is stolen, steel mill is bankrupt, railways is history, and PIA is bankrupt , what you think these institutions were not good working in the past ? Steel mill was biggest in Asia in past , PIA was best airline in past. My dear brother Imran khan,s best service to the nation will be to provide an honest leadership to Pakistan . Do you think present govt is honest enough to use any program for their people? If the answer is no then trust me Imran khan is the only hope of Pakistan. Please don't raise these silly questions and if you are sincere yourself then help Imran khan achieve his goals not to doubt his sincerety for Pakistan. When true leaders comes even if they have no plans for nation the country progresses just because of their honesty and earth expel its wealth out on surface if justice is done. So please move towards positive change and the change is just bring one honest leader to lead the nation. Thank you

Dear Haris,
It is not a play ground that every one should be given a chance to play. I know Zardari or Nawaz Shareef are not eligible for this chair. my question is that if Imran Khan have solution that corruption will be remove in just 90 days . if he is a correct Muslim and Pakistani then why he did not give the formula to the Government of Pakistan ? for what he is waiting for ? People are killing due to terrorism ? Mothers/ Fathers are killing there own children from there own hands due to Inflation ? being a muslim my believe is that if any muslim is in trouble and you know that he is in trouble and you have enough ways to help him out then why Imran Khan being a true Muslim and Pakistani why he is not helping to them ? if Imran knows the solution and he is not disusing with the Government and not trying to helping out the poor people so I must say Imran Khan will have to answer the blood of killing of innocent people . I am not against Imran Khan, or i dont have any personal argument with him. I just want people to realize that if Imran khan become chair person nothing good is going to happened.

He is asking for declaration of assets to make sure that no one can make black money even he/she get the chance to do it . He is the person who think of the future , he wants to move on . He wants to unite the nation which other parties are unable to do . When it comes to imran , peoples criticism begins with , "he will", "i think" and so on . SO is it a justifiable reason to not cast the vote for him . So please don't predict the future based on your thoughts.

Dear All Respected members,
What you say about this video ? Please watch it? why Imran khan didn't answer of it ?My question is with Imran Khan, by showing or declaring of Assets how can you analyze that members is not corrupted ? I think its a wrong strategy to judge any one by his Assets. there are lot of ways to hide you Assets
2nd thing is that Imran Khan is saying that his past is clean. His Past should be clean because he don't get a chance to seat on any seat? When he will get a seat then we will see how honest he is ?

Re: SOPA/PIPA Support shifts
Politicians that actually are listening to the people? Is it to much to hope that this sort of thing could catch on?

The Gingrich Doctrine: 'Kill Them!'
If ignorance is strength, most of the GOP candidates are powerhouses
by Justin Raimondo, January 18, 2012
His hands on his ample hips, Newt Gingrich looked like Mussolini up there on the stage at the GOP presidential debate as he bellowed "everybody knows" the Pakistanis were hiding Osama bin Laden in plain sight, "a mile from a Pakistani military academy." Ron Paul, who knows more about monetary policy than the intricacies of the US-Pakistani relationship, stood there looking appalled as Gingrich let loose with his war cry: " Kill them!" The yahoos went wild with joy. The Newtster was reacting to Paul's point about respecting Pakistani sovereignty – and the dangers of allowing such cross-border raids to become routine. After all, that could work both ways, as Paul tried – in vain – to point out.
The reality, though, is that the Pakistanis in all likelihood did know about the raid well in advance, and it is just as likely they had a hand in the entire operation from the start. As the Guardian reported at the time:
"The US and Pakistan struck a secret deal almost a decade ago permitting a US operation against Osama bin Laden on Pakistani soil similar to last week's raid that killed the al-Qaeda leader, the Guardian has learned.
"The deal was struck between the military leader General Pervez Musharraf and President George Bush after Bin Laden escaped US forces in the mountains of Tora Bora in late 2001, according to serving and retired Pakistani and US officials.
"Under its terms, Pakistan would allow US forces to conduct a unilateral raid inside Pakistan in search of Bin Laden, his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and the al-Qaeda No3. Afterwards, both sides agreed, Pakistan would vociferously protest the incursion.
"'There was an agreement between Bush and Musharraf that if we knew where Osama was, we were going to come and get him,' said a former senior US official with knowledge of counterterrorism operations. 'The Pakistanis would put up a hue and cry, but they wouldn't stop us.'"
Good ol' Musharraf, the one loyal ally we had in the region – dumped by the US State Department for his lack of "democratic" credentials. More real al-Qaeda operatives were arrested in Pakistan during his tenure than all the efforts of our FBI and CIA combined.
In any case, it's just common sense the Pakistanis were in on the Abbottabad raid: after all, the Americans set up a safe house in what has been described as a "garrison town" – a feat next to impossible without the Pakistanis knowing about it. As one Pakistani senior officer pointed out to the Global Post, the airspace over Abbottabad is a no fly zone: there's no way the US could have pulled off the operation without the full knowledge and cooperation of the Pakistani military. The area around the bin Laden compound was cordoned off by the authorities in the hours prior to the raid, and residents were told to stay inside with their lights out.
I don't know who's giving Rep. Paul his foreign policy talking points, but in discussions of foreign policy specifics matter: you can deduce the basic principles of economics from self-evident axioms, as students of Austrian economics [.pdf] know. However, you cannot do the same when making the case for a non-interventionist foreign policy. This is where empirical evidence is key to understanding what is really going on, as opposed to what our rulers want us to believe.
Here's the kicker: the same people in the government pushing for more strenuous and overt intervention in Pakistan know all about Musharraf's 2001 agreement with the US, yet they cynically promote the idea that Pakistan was hiding bin Laden in order to advance their own agenda. There are so many layers of deception masking the truth about American foreign policy that peeling them all back is the equivalent of the thirteenth labor of Hercules.
Speaking of Monday's Republican debate: if there is any limit to Rick Perry's stupidity, then I suspect we have yet to reach it. His statement that Turkey is ruled by " Islamic terrorists" and ought to be kicked out of NATO was applauded vigorously by the audience – the same audience that booed Paul when he invoked the Golden Rule. The only problem for Perry and his fans is that Turkey is a vital US ally, and is ruled not by "Islamic terrorists" but by a moderate and staunchly pro-Western Muslim party democratically elected: the country boasts a modern economy with innumerable economic and political ties to the West. Perry's is a gaffe that would normally disqualify its utterer from seeking office higher than alderman: not in today's GOP, however, where ignorance is an asset.
The impetus for Perry's latest embarrassing faux pas was a leading question from Bret Baier, who appears to embody the lunkheaded viciousness that characterizes the "reporters" at Fox News. He certainly looks and sounds the part: the vacuous stare, the protruding ears like two little radar dishes scanning for targets, the propaganda that pours out of his mouth as if a button were being pushed somewhere:
"Governor Perry, since the Islamist-oriented party took over in Turkey, the murder rate of women has increased 1,400 percent there. Press freedom has declined to the level of Russia. The prime minister of Turkey has embraced Hamas and Turkey has threatened military force against both Israel and Cypress. [sic] Given Turkey's turn, do you believe Turkey still belongs in NATO?"
To begin with, a grand total of 953 Turkish women were murdered in the first seven months of 2009, the last time period for which figures are available, up from 806 in 2008. The 1400 percent figure comes from a statement by the AKP justice minister in which he measured the increase from 2002: if the "Islamist terrorists" who run the Turkish government are encouraging the murder of women, why would their own Justice Minister make this kind of statement?
Secondly, if Senators Joe Lieberman and Lindsey Graham are trying to convince the Turks that only they can bring Hamas to the negotiating table, is Turkey's relationship with the rulers of Gaza a plus or a minus for US diplomatic efforts in the region? This is a question Gov. Perry is completely unprepared to ask, let alone answer.
Perry is way out of his depth, and for him to be presented as a credible candidate for the presidency is a disgrace – and a minus for the GOP, which is hurting itself badly by allowing him to make a fool of himself at each and every debate. Of course, a Governor doesn't have to be an expert on the internal politics of Turkey: if only he'd stayed in Texas, he would have saved himself and his party a lot of trouble.
Ignorance of such abstruse topics is not a moral failing – unless, that is, one is charged with making life-and-death decisions requiring this kind of specialized knowledge. In that case, it is highly doubtful anyone not immersed in the country one is concerned with could have sufficient understanding to even attempt to make such a decision. Friedrich Hayek, the free market economist, understood that central planning by governments is impossible because the planners lack sufficient knowledge of the many factors taken into account by the market: the same is true when it comes to planning the fate of nations overseas – only more so. That conservatives fail to understand this simple fact is a tribute to their thickheadedness. No matter how many times that simple principle is demonstrated in real life – Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. – the lesson forever eludes them, transfixed as they are by demagogues of Gingrich's ilk urging them to "Kill! Kill!"
