POPSPentagon Propagandist General Calls for US to Sponsor Terrorism Against Iran "The tactic that McInerney advocates of using Iranian opposition terrorist groups to carry out acts of terrorism inside Iran is not new, nor far-fetched. A little digging turned up numerous articles alleging that the pentagon had already been using the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) and other groups in cross-border operations into Iran, at least until shortly after Sec Gates took over (Some news reports of attacks in Iran here, here, here, here, here. Iranian news video here)." Of course is not wrong if "we" do it, now is it?

POPSNavy Denies Chelsea Clinton To Vieques, Puerto Rico Daddy didn't do the island any favors the last time around (nor did the Navy, the arrogant bastards). If Hillary wants the delegates, she should stop sending surrogates and come down herself. Then again Puerto Rico is a Imperial cold sore on both parties.

POPSPortrait of Courage: Irena Sendler From the article: "In 1943, she was captured by the Nazis and tortured but refused to tell her captors who her co-conspirators were or where the bottles were buried. She also resisted in other ways. According to Felt, when Sendler worked in the prison laundry, she and her co-workers made holes in the German soldiers' underwear. When the officers discovered what they had done, they lined up all the women and shot every other one. It was just one of many close calls for Sendler."

POPSBlood Money: Chiquita Banana Pays Paramilitaries Protection Money Of course, Chiquita has a bad record South of the border, just as the Guatemalans. They have operated in these countries for decades, they knew what was what. When the Army failed them, they called in the AUC. The CEO of Chiquita admitted on camera that if they had not "volunteered" the info, nothing would have happened. And the State and Justice Departments are not investigating, even after a former AUC leader volunteered to turn state evidence.

POPSNeocons and the truth: Bitter enemies to the end From the article: In late 2006, I wrote about virtually identical deceit from this same group, that time with regard to Iraq. On National Review in December of 2006, Ledeen -- just as the Beltway establishment was finally turning against the war in Iraq and in the wake of a lengthy Vanity Fair article identifying the neocons who were to blame -- claimed: "I opposed the military invasion of Iraq before it took place."

POPSThings Americans don't like to talk about Read the whole article, it is illuminating to say the least. I thought this passage said it best: " If you listen to a lot of conservatives, they'll tell you that the difference between them and us is that conservatives love America and liberals hate America.... They don't get it. We love America just as much as they do. But in a different Way. You see, they love America the way a 4-year-old loves her Mommy. Liberals love America like grown-ups. To a 4-year-old, everything Mommy does is wonderful and anyone who criticizes Mommy is bad. Grown-up love means actually understanding what you love, taking the good with the bad, and helping your loved one grow. Love takes attention and work and is the best thing in the world."
