==============

My synopsis:

As a continuation of Wes Clark's previous podcast (#9) on the "State of the Middle East, Clark answers questions from Iowans; and once again shares his great depth of insight regarding the Middle East: Iraq vs America's F vs C- Option; the Palestinian/Israeli conflict and the new Hamas government; and Iran on its nuclear enrichment program --- each consequential of Bush's failure in leadership and foreign policy failures with diplomacy, particularly in light of the Administrations decision to use torture, renditions and secret camps.

Overall, Clark explains why US policy in the region must change course and how to start this process; and why it's vital that America restore its credibility, standing and respect around the world through real leadership, particularly as these issues pose serious challenges to our longer term and broader national security interests. ...

General Clark just released his latest podcast; and speaks passionately in defense of the Generals who recently called for the resignation of Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Clark shares some of his professional experiences working with Generals Anthony Zinni, John Batiste, Charles Swannack, and John Riggs and defends their integrity and right to dissent. He recognizes that each must have wrestled, personally, with their own conscience before personally deciding that "speaking out' was the right thing to do, especially when they believe that our national security is at stake.

Global Warming - A National Security Risk (podcast)

This is a great new podcast by Wes Clark who discusses a synopsis of the scientific evidence regarding global warming and climate change. It's based on the consensus views of leading climatologists around the world; all of whom have advocated for more aggressive action by our leaders in Washington. Clark further explains its important national security implications; and why the world community, its leaders and each of us, must work together to address these issues, today'; and implement a national and global strategy within the next few years.

Yesterday, I watched a true hero and a true scientist, Dr. James Hansen, the NASA Climatologist who stood against the Bush Administration's assualt and censorship of science. I attended the Politics and Science Conference at The New School in NYC. The President is former Senator Bob Kerrey (NE-D) who organized this important first ever conference on the politicking of science, particularly by the Bush Administration.

The 2-Day Conference featured many distinguished speakers with expertise from both sides of the debate on science policy issues: government policy makers, industry and academic experts. Everyone agreed that the science community needed communicate more effectively to the general public. But there was also consensual agreement among everyone that the Bush Administration was executing an unprecedented campaign devaluate scientific findings, by deliberately distorting and suppressing scientific evidence into the science policy-making process.

C-SPAN2 broadcast: Dr. George Lakoff presentation on "Framing" before the "Commonwealth Club of San Francisco"

..of course, that's if he's nominated.

Today I watched Lakoff present fascinating insights into how "framing" has structured American politics from our common notions of family and moral values. This is especially significant today, since it's used by powerful (neo)conservative think-tanks to frame public debate and to skew government policy-making with policies, which do not necessarily serve the interests of our nations common values.

Lakoff also offers insights into the Alito nomination hearing, as an example, to what may be a dangerous trend in America towards "absolute conservatism", which grew from a "Strict Father" model of the world view. Read More

Yesterday, mikeprimore posted that 2 Generals return(ed) fire at W. Today, General Wesley Clark (US, Ret.) has issued the next volley in an offensive to petition President Bush to properly protect and equip our troops on the front lines!

President Bush and the neocons are engaged in a new spin campaign to shift blame from their own failures in conducting the war in Iraq and in failing to protect our troops! President Bush must address these concerns and must be held accountable!

Please sign Wesley Clark's petition, as detailed below.

The following transcript is from Eric Massa's speech before NYC Democrats on January 5, 2006.

Eric Massa (NY-29th) is among Congressional candidates who are members of the "Fighting Dems" and "Veterans for Americas' Future."

This transcript was taken from my own recordings amid a very enthusiastic, energetic and cheering crowd of New Yawkers who support Eric Massa.... (so, it was loud,.. and that's my disclaimer ;)

I was fortunate to attend the event with others who posted here. I wish you were there, so below, I hope you can read and see Massa's natural ability to articulate and communicate the issues; and why many, including myself, have discovered why Massa is the best candidate and person who'll serve our country in Congress with distinction. He is genuine and passionate in his beliefs, in his resolve to protect Constitution and in his call to service, again! He'll be a great leader in Congress. Read More

What's the strategy of the White House to undermine the Fitzgerald case against I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby? I think that they're Roving for clues. Any lawyers out here to help provide insight?

Today "Scooter" Libby pleaded "not guilty" in the Valerie Plame investigation; but now, his lawyers have recieved "classified information" regarding Fitzgerald's investigation into the case, particularly sensitive information involving "national security" information that Fitz had acquired to build his case.
