“U.S. Deaths In Iraq Near Peak Months”

“General Cites Battle For Anbar’s Capital”

Battle phase deaths in Iraq were 200. Occupation phase deaths average 70 or more per month. We should invade Iran and leave Iraq. The lives saved in Iraq would pay for the Iran invasion. This way we get something for our deaths,denuking Iran.

We get our army in Iraq on the Pakistan border where we can surround Pakistan and make it give up its nukes and bin Laden.

We have to fight wars of strategy now while we lose 200 killed in battle phase.

The two drivers of occupation deaths in Iraq are foreign Sunni Arab fighters and Shiite Sunni historic rivarly in Iraq. Both are absent in Iran.

Saudi Arabia is funding the Taliban through Pakistan ISI against US troops in Afghanistan and al Qaeda in Iraq and Sunni resistance in Iraq. We must invade and occupy Saudi Arabia and rename it Multicultural Arabia. We should open it up to immigration for multicultural sources including illegals from the US.

America is going to discover in 25 years its an also ran from history. We have to act now while we still can to turn off what attacked us on 9-11 and has been attacking us. That comes from Iran, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

FDR didn’t stop at Normandy and take casualties he marched into Germany and ended Fascism. We need to march into Saudi Arabia, Iran and Pakistan.

== Comment 2

People will volunteer to invade and occupy Iran, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan because they know that’s a plan and a strategy for total victory over what attacked us on 9-11 and is attacking us. Bush sits in the White House with Prince Bandar making a torture pact, and then no one volunteers to bleed and die in Iraq and Afghanistan while the Saudi royal family funds the Sunni resistance in Iraq and the Taliban in Iraq.

Bush airlifts out the bin Laden family after 9-11 instead of asking for a million volunteers. Bush airlifts out Pakistan generals in Nov 2001fromKunduz Afghanistan, see Seymour Hersh, instead of arresting them. This is why no one wants to volunteer.

Bush says we are going to bleed on the beaches at Normandy forever, not march into Germany and end fascism. Bush instead meets with Hitler (Prince Bandar) and does a torture deal. Now no one volunteers to be perpetually strafed on the beach at Normandy.

Wake up Bush and be loyal to America not Prince Bandar. Why should Americans die for Prince Bandar to go on torturing people with Bush? Why should Americans die in Iraq and Afghanistan so that the Saudis can keep on funding the killing of Americans?

==Additional

Bush praises the religion of peace, Saudi Arabia’s ideology, and makes torture compacts with Prince Bandar. Bush has a call to prayers broadcast at Gitmo 5 times a day. No one in America wants to fight in his war in Iraq and Afghanistan that is guaranteed to fail to defeat Saudi Arabia and occupy it.

linda.d.leibhart | Oct 27, 2006 3:23:39 PM quote I certainly hope you are being sarcastic in suggesting we invade these countries. Our troops are stretched too far as it is. end quote.

Yes, serious. We can use the army in Iraq to invade Iran and leave Iraq completely. That saves 70 lives a month in occupation deaths. Since battle phase deaths in Iraq were 200, we may end up saving lives over a 1 to 2 year period.

This also helps Iraq by taking out Iran as a source of support as well as dashing hopes of insurgents. We can swing back through Iraq later if we need to.

We should adopt a roving patrol model, not a static sentry model. We should not be a static sentry in Iran, but remove nukes, the regime, religious courts and law, and then move on to the Pakistan border.

We should also increase our military. By 1945 we had 10 million men under arms. We can restore our volunteer force to the 1991leve. If we have a real plan for people to believe in other than die in peripheral wars in Iraq and Afghanistan we can get volunteers.

Going to the sources, Iran, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia will be something people will volunteer for. Dying in peripheral wars so Bush can make torture compacts with Prince Bandar, have calls to prayer at Gitmo, build a mosque at Quantico and call what attacked us the religion of peace will not get volunteers.

This 9-11, schools celebrated and praised what attacked us, not what we believe in. That is a country that is insane and going down to defeat. Dying in Iraq and Afghanistan shows defeat.

We rarely talk about Saudi Arabia funding the insurgencies against us in Iraq and Afghanistan, even though the UK press does. Bush, the MSM and Congress are focused on peripheral wars.

Its as if in WWII, we had stopped at Normandy and then become experts there and taken German shelling. The equivalent is Saudi money today killing our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

===

Rumsfeld was right to want to leave Iraq. We should simply knock over what harms us and leave. We lost 200 battle deaths in Iraq. We lost 50,000 inViet Nam, over 300,000 in WWII.

Because we train Chinese students in physics grad schools and not Americans, our technology lead will be gone in a few years. China will sell the same or even better weapons to Iran, Pakistan, etc. This is thanks to George Allen’sSkil Bill, as well as Bush, Kennedy, McCain, Warner, etc. who have undermined our people’s education and given away our know-how and thus our jobs, security, and advantages.

We have to strike now while we lose 200 killer or even 2000 killed per war. This advantage will be gone in a few years, because George Allen andCornyn et al are giving it to China.

They don’t think, so we have to.

Jim Webb on WaPo Radio

Webb commented that young people need job opportunity and that immigration is taking that way from them. Webb says that is why young people are coming to his campaign.

This could include UVA engineering student Sidarth born in Fairfax County, VA. Sidarth is hurt by H1B that takes away job security for young engineering student.

..

Webb: Measure society’s welfare at its base, wages at the bottom.

Q: Vietnam article in WaPo. Against pardons by Carter.

Webb: First time president issued blank pardon for draft evasion. A number of people who went to Canada that I respected. I carried a lot of anger with me. I’ve lost friends over this. A wall between those who fought and opposed. For me, the wall came down on 9-11.

Q: Jim Webb, war hero, being expedient by having John Kerry campaign for him, a man who Webb refused to shake hands with for 20 years.

Webb: Kerry came over and I voted for him in 2004.

Q: Fund raiser at Chuck Robb’s house with Bill Clinton. When Clinton left, you said “ethical fraudulence” has characterized Clinton’s entire political career.

Webb: We all threw a lot of bombs. Clinton is leader of the Democratic Party. After 9-11, I lost a lot of my anger. Work with coalitions to improve the country. Won’t accept dollar or vote if have to chance my views. Its not essential to me, I don’t want to go to the US Senate if I have to be someone I am not. People have to look at where the most important issues are. Have to fix the inequality in our system. Different look at foreign policy issues. Need people in there who care about the people at the bottom.

Q: Call in from John, a Republican. Only voted for Democrat at state level once. Why should I vote for Jim Webb? If Mr. Webb is elected to Senate, will he be a traditional Democrat or more like a Democrat John Warner?

Webb: I have spent my career trying to stand up and be independent on issues I care about it. I have been in a lot of political fights in my life. If I had a role model, it would be Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Moynihan an academic, I am a writer. Born Fighting book. Quality of writing, what I bring to the table. Foreign Fighting.

Strong female figures in my life is there (in my writing). I am independent. I don’t define myself by whether made tradeoffs to be in the Senate.

Q: Moynihan chairman Senate Finance, Rostenkowsi chairman of House. Said M had written more books than R had read.

Gonzales as AG? Vote no.

Alito: vote more hearings.
Roberts: Vote for.

Miguel Estrada: Can’t say. Don’t have all the info.

Q: Assualt weapons bad extend 10 years.

Webb: Other than fully automatic weapons on the gun side. NRA said vote for George Allen.

Q: Caller: Why don’t compare service in Vietnam with Allen’s draft dodging.

Webb: I’m proud of service I gave my country. Proud of my son. People should stop that. It was a long time ago. It was a formative part of my life. Because of Iraq War, I’ve been so reticient. During Vietnam, so many people’s service was used by one side or the other.

Most people don’t go into the military for a political issue. Love country. Family tradition.

Q: caller: Arlington. Marine Corps 27 years. Bush, Cheney, Allen not having children of age to join military. Cut and run phrase, not been in battle.

Webb: Often said if 1/2 of Congress had to think about loved one in Iraq, war would be a lot different.

Q: How would have voted:

2003 Prohibited travel to Cuba:

Webb: time to open relations with Cuba or work towards opening relations.  Worked to normalize relations with Vietnam.

Q: Opening Alaska’s artic wildlife to oil drilling.  Webb: Opposed.

Q: Vote representation for DC in US House.

Webb: Vote for that.

Q: Poll well Va, what aboutHampton Roads?

Webb Polling well.

Q: Women in military?

Webb: Don’t believe the ads.

..

Should have asked about the options ad Webb has which is misleading about Allen.  Might have been in first part of it?

Invitation to Allen to come on.

This was a concurrent attempt to write down questions and answers, but is not a stenographic record.  It simplified at points to get down some coherent sentences.  This may not be accurate in all cases.s

“Citizenship Changes Draw Objections”

By Darryl Fears

Young people need a 25 year window of job stability to get married when young, have kids and stay married. Immigration takes that away. Teenagers look at young adults, middle aged adults and old adults and see them losing their jobs and their dignity. So teenagers go wild. In the 50’s, teenagers saw they would have jobs, marriages, houses and kids in 2 or 3 years, so they picked mates and got job skills. People look around them and mold their behavior based on what they see. Economists call this rational or adaptive expectations. We need to start doing that to formulate policy and end all immigration including family reunification, H1B, guest worker, legalization, asylum, etc.

Young adults need stable jobs, no immigration

What lets young adults get married young, have kids and stay married is stable jobs. Immigration takes that from them. Immigration erases job stability.

Immigration takes job bargaining power from the young adults and gives it to employers. Without job bargaining power, young adults don’t have job security.

Without job security, young adults don’t have marriage security. Without marriage security, young adults don’t have security.

A society where young adults have security and are married and have kids is a safe place. That is what America was before the 1965 Immigration Act.

A society where young adults can’t get married and have kids because job stability is taken by immigration is a world of chaos and strife. Its a world where teenagers are wild because they aren’t stabilized into young adulthood with a job and marriage but instead have no prospects of stable jobs and so they just go wilding.

That world of insecurity and instability is America today. Its getting worse. That is why teenage boys engage in Columbine type killings, they aren’t grounded because society isn’t grounded. Society is grounded by young adults being married and in stable jobs.

We can see that in academia, where young adults are without security and don’t have kids or bargaining power. The profs use H1B and foreign TA’s and grad students to take bargaining power from young adults.The result is that young adults don’t have kids and the profs take credit for their discoveries.

The Senators represent the old, by definition of Senator. They are against the young adults. They try to take bargaining power from young adults.

This is what Cornyn and George Allen did in the Skil Bill, S. 2691. This is to increase H1B’s and take bargaining power from young adults. This includes nurses, programmers, engineers, etc.

Cornyn and Allen are creating a society of chaos where young adults don’t have job security but instead are without stable jobs and without stable marriages. The result is that teenagers are looking forward to a world of chaos without stability and they act that out. If they knew they were about to get stable jobs and be married, they would be picking out mates.

That’s what they did in the 1950’s. That’s the America we need to get back to. Its an America that was stable because of structural elements in society that created stability.

The structure of a society creates expectations. Expectations mold behavior. When teenagers see stable jobs and marriages 2 or 3 years out, they pick out mates, learn job skills and are stable.

When teenagers see men from 20 to 65 without stable work, without respect, without dignity, they go wild. They don’t steady down, pick a mate, learn job skills and transition into a stable adult life, because there is no stable adult life to transition into.

Teenagers take on the nature of the society they are about to enter into. If the society is stable has steady jobs for young adults to old adults, they will be stable. If the society is an open border of chaos, the teenagers take that on themselves and reflect the chaos of the adult world.

“Defiant Iraq War Foe Defined by Vietnam”

” Va. Senate Candidates: James Webb”

The lesson the officers who served in WWI learned was not to stop Hitler when it would have only taken 200 battle phase deaths in 1933. The lesson junior officers in WWI learned was to let Hitler attack other countries over and over before finally responding. The lesson junior officers in WWI learned was to ignore the stream of refugees out of Germany and let the Holocaust happen.

Battle phase deaths in Iraq were 200. Deaths in Vietnam were over 50,000. The lesson is to invade Iran now and denuke them.

Invade Saudi Arabia now and turn it into Multicultural Arabia. Turn off the call to prayers at Gitmo and make them calls to sensitivity training.

Abolish religious law and courts in Iraq and Afghanistan. No more Islamic Republics. Surround Pakistan and blockade it and make it give up its nukes and bin Laden.

FDR didn’t stop on the Normandy beaches and take casualties for years, he marched into Germany. Time to march into Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan and turn off what attacked us.

George Allen “An Ascent Shadowed By Questions on Race”

By Bill Turque
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, October 26, 2006; Page A01
Immigration is what harms African Americans as Borjas et al at Harvard have shown. Allen is against S. 2611, legalization,but for guest worker and H1B. Webb has the opposite positions.

From Steve Sailer at Vdare, quote Borjas et al. From 1960 to 2000:

quote The employment rate of black men in the United States fell precipitously from 89.6 percent in 1960 to 76.1 percent in 2000… The decline in labor market participation among black men was accompanied by a rapid increase in the number of black men in correctional institutions. As recently as 1980, only 0.8 percent of black men … were incarcerated. By 2000, 9.6 percent of black men … were incarcerated. end quote

quote… the employment rate of black high school dropouts fell by 33 percentage points, from 88.6 to 55.7 percent, as compared to an 18 percentage point drop for white high school dropouts, from 94.1 to 76.0 percent.end quote.

Is the Post acting like a bigger bully than they accuse Allen of being?

By OldAtlantic | Oct 26, 2006 1:34:58 PM |==

As shown above, the Borjas study shows immigration has heavily harmed blacks in the last 40 years. The Post supports this. So the Post has heavily hurt blacks.

The Post is trying to distract its readers from this by pretending that Allen’s comments matter, not the actual harm the Post does to blacks by advocating immigration and not covering the actual harm done to blacks as proven by Borjas at Harvard.

Webb has pointed out that immigration harms blacks.  The Post doesn’t cover that, because it supports immigration that harms blacks and knows it.  The Post knows the truth would show its racist where it counts, harming people intentionally.

The Post is engaged in the big lie tactic against Allen. This election should have been about the harm done by immigration to blacks and others.

The Post has attacked Allen over racial slurs precisely to cover-up its own complicity in harming blacks, which the Post knows and intends to continue. That is the real racism.

Borjas Studies in Immigration Reality

George J. Borjas is the leading researcher on immigration in the world. Maybe he should win the Nobel Prize for telling the truth about international migration, when so many won’t.This could be the Nobel Prize in economics as well as peace.

“Black Crime: The Immigration Dimension“

By Steve Sailer
Mankiw quotes:

“Immigration and African-American Employment Opportunities: The Response of Wages, Employment, and Incarceration to Labor Supply Shocks” September 2006.
from George J. Borjas, Jeffrey Grogger, Gordon H. Hanson

“The employment rate of black men, and particularly of low-skill black men, fell precipitously from 1960 to 2000. At the same time, the incarceration rate of black men rose markedly. This paper examines the relation between immigration and these trends in black employment and incarceration. Using data drawn from the 1960-2000 U.S. Censuses, we find a strong correlation between immigration, black wages, black employment rates, and black incarceration rates. As immigrants disproportionately increased the supply of workers in a particular skill group, the wage of black workers in that group fell, the employment rate declined, and the incarceration rate rose. Our analysis suggests that a 10-percent immigrant-induced increase in the supply of a particular skill group reduced the black wage by 3.6 percent, lowered the employment rate of black men by 2.4 percentage points, and increased the incarceration rate of blacks by almost a full percentage point.”

By Peter Brimelow at Vdare.com

“Foreign-Born Teaching Assistants and the Academic Performance of Undergraduates,” American Economic Review, May 2000, pp. 355-359. (Survey Instrument)

This paper shows that Foreign TA’s really do hurt the education of American students. If those students are future teachers, then that continues to harm American students.

“America’s Middle Class Has Become Globalization’s Loser”

A SUPERPOWER IN DECLINE
America’s Middle Class Has Become Globalization’s Loser

By Gabor Steingart

“At the beginning of the 21st century, the United States is still a superpower. But it’s a superpower facing competition from beyond its borders as well as internal difficulties. Its lower and middle classes are turning out to be the losers of globalization.”
“But for many blue- and white-collar workers, this decline is already absolute because they have less of everything than they used to. They possess less money, they are shown less respect in society and their chances for climbing up the social ladder have deteriorated dramatically. They’re the losers in the world war for wealth.”

Who is behind this? Teddy Kennedy and the 1965 Immigration Act, George Bush and and John McCain, etc.

“Things were going swimmingly for the Americans until the end of the 1970s, the commission report concluded. Family incomes grew virtually at the same rate in all sections of the population during the first three decades after World War II, with those of the poor growing slightly faster. The lowest fifth of US society saw a 120 percent increase in incomes, the second fifth 101 percent, the third 107 percent, the fourth 114 percent and the fifth 94 percent. It was as if the American dream had manifested itself in statistics.But then the trend reversed, and not just in the United States.”

The change came in the late 1970’s, 10 years after the 1965 Immigration Act was passed. At that point, the middle class and working class became delinked from prosperity. In fact, men’s wages peaked in 1973 in the US. That is the average peaked. Since CEO and Harvard Business School professor wages went up, that means the median wage went down.

“Studies Look for Reasons Behind Racial Disparities in Health Care”

By Christopher Lee
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, October 25, 2006; Page A10

Markets erase disparities in health care provisions. The 1965 Immigration Act was intended to undo the benefits of the 1964 Civil Rights Acts. Borjas of Harvard has done a study that shows this is what happened. See Vdare for discussion of this.

Immigration means that marginal people in society are dropped by employers and the education system. They don’t have the resources to bring up the marginal student or worker. Schools are overwhelmed. Rather than work with marginal workers, employers fire them.

Immigration has created distrust according to a study by Putnam of Harvard. The result is that CEO’s make big bonuses by firing workers and sending factories and know-how overseas. Universities give graduate education to students from China and India rather than African Americans like David Blackwell who was a major figure in math before 1964.

The politicos lie about immigration as does the MSM. They want throw away help and immigration gives that to them.
