Rahm Emanuel: ignorance or malice
By CDR Salamander

You need to remember that this man is the Chief of Staff to the Commander in Chief.

OCT 18th on the Sunday shows, he demonstrated one of two things: ignorance on a colosal scale that should call for his resignation – or a deliberate malice towards the American and allied military and civilians who have been working hard on the Afghanistan conflict for most all this decade —- and his willingness to use anything to avoid taking responsibility for national security. If that, then he should receive nothing but our contempt. Personally – I will go for ignorance – as maliciousness on that level is something I just don’t want to believe is there. So, here is President Obama’s Chief of Staff;

The president is asking the questions that have never been asked on the civilian side, the political side, the military side, and the strategic side. What is the impact on the region? What can the Afghan government do or not do? Where are we on the police training? Who would be better doing the police training? Could that be something the Europeans do? Should we take the military side? Those are the questions that have not been asked. And before you commit troops  .  .  .  before you make that decision, there’s a set of questions that have to have answers that have never been asked. And it’s clear after eight years of war, that’s basically starting from the beginning, and those questions never got asked.

Here’s a must read on the subject of global warming.

Global Warming and Climate Change

Congress should

● pass no legislation restricting emissions of carbon dioxide,

● repeal current ethanol mandates, and

● inform the public about how little climate change would be prevented by proposed legislation.

Leading politicians and media figures are insisting that Congress make global warming a very high priority. Global warming is indeed real, and human activity has been a contributor since 1975.

But global warming is also a very complicated and difficult issue that can provoke very unwise policy in response to political pressure. In 2005, for instance, Congress clearly made a very bad decision about climate change when it mandated accelerated production of ethanol. Critics had argued then that corn-based ethanol would actually result in increased carbon dioxide emissions. An increasing body of science has since verified this position. Further, corn-based ethanol is responsible in part for the skyrocketing price of corn, soybeans, rice, and wheat since the mandates began.

Although there are many different legislative proposals for substantial reductions in carbon dioxide emissions, there is no operational or tested suite of technologies that can accomplish the goals of such legislation. Fortunately, and contrary to much of the rhetoric surrounding climate change, there is ample time to develop such technologies, which will require substantial capital investment by individuals.
