Stand with Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan -- with democracy and civilization against tyranny and barbarism

Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.
God doesn't exist
Evolution happened
Global warming is real
Homosexuality is normal
Aging is a curable disease
The election was not stolen
Everything "spiritual" is a lie
US out of UN, UN out of US
Free speech is for everybody
Humans do not have "souls"
Men can't become women
Fetuses are not persons
Words are not violence
Taiwan is a nation
Pluto is a planet

Patraeus is a puppet.
I see he used the word "surge" quite a bit in his beginning remarks. From what I hear most military personnel have up to this point referred to this tactic as an "escalation" of troop numbers and mission objectives and have never used the term "surge" until the White House started using it as a code word so as not to make it sound like "escalation" or build-up.
And speaking of Al Queada and Iranian involvement...if the dumb asses had listened to Shinseki, the invasion of Iraq would have been able to secure the borders. But, they didn't want to listen because at the time the army had roughly 350,000 troops and the Marine Corps had 130,000. Shinseki was calling for several hundred thousand boots on the ground in Iraq for the invasion and subsequent security of the country and it's borders. Whatever anybody has to say about Shinseki being off the mark I think we can see the evidence for ourselves.
Good post. Thanks.

As I've said before, if Petraeus abd the change in tactics succeed in turning the Iraq conflict around, that does not get Bush and Rumsfeld off the hook for incompetence. If new tactics make the difference, they should not have waited four years before employing them.
