Good news out of Washington, everyone. The military is coming home from all 130 occupied countries you ask? No, not that. Is the Federal Reserve System being abolished and Ben Bernanke & Co. being held accountable for debauching the currency? Is George W. Bush, John Ashcroft, John Yoo, Haliburton Dick, etc. being brought to justice for torturing prisoners, many of whom were innocent, and detaining them indefinitely (i.e. years) while denying them the fundamental right of habeas corpsus? No, and no again. But while the Treasury Dept steals billions of dollars of our increasingly worthless money, Caesar flies a pizza man 830 miles to make him a "casual lunch."
I bet it was really good. I know I like chicken on my pizza. Not so sure about the hot sauce though.
On a somewhat less delicious note, hundreds of Pakistani's and Afghans have been killed by Predator Drone strikes since the Anointed One assumed the throne. The CIA and ISI believe that between 55-70 were killed at a Taliban funeral. I wonder, just maybe, if somewhere in that 55-70 people there were women, or children, or men who had never once fired a shot or picked up a weapon to bear against the US.
Of course, "Council on Foreign Relations senior fellow Steven Simon believes the unmanned attacks are still worth the risk."
The risk here would be the oh so slight possibility that this could make the people in this village (if any people are left), and villages in the surrounding area very upset with the US. I guess that this could be considered that thing called "blowback." Its a pretty difficult concept to understand. No wonder the "Grand Decider" couldn't comprehend it.
