Pentagon to do better job in next war
According to the Los Angeles Times, top Pentagon officials "are studying the lessons of Iraq closely to ensure that the next U.S. takeover of a foreign country goes more smoothly. 'We're going to get better over time,' said Lawrence Di Rita. 'We've always thought of post-hostilities as a phase ... the future of war is that these things are going to be much more of a continuum. ... We'll get better as we do it more often."

IS THE PENTAGON BEHIND THE RECENT SPATE OF GLOBAL BLACKOUTS?
In July 2002, George W. Bush signed National Security Presidential Directive 16 (PD-16), a secret plan for the United States to wage cyber-warfare against other countries. Under the directive, the Pentagon—which is under the control of neoconservative zealots who make Dr. Strangelove seem relatively sane—is authorized to use electronic weaponry to bring down the electrical grids of enemy nations.

Since Bush's directive was signed, the world had witnessed more unexplained massive blackouts in the history of the modern age of electricity. Considering that the Pentagon, through manipulative schemers like Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and retired Admiral John Poindexter, has championed such ideas as a stock market betting parlor for future terrorist attacks and an Internet-based personal information surveillance program (both fortunately killed off by Congress), it is not far-fetched to consider the possibility that the recent spate of blackouts around the world are the result of another harebrained operation cooked up by the necons to demonstrate America's superiority in cyber-warfare.

The Pentagon announced Friday that it had mobilized two US Army National Guard brigades of 10,000 soldiers for deployment to Iraq, just days after Bush held talks with UN General Assembly members in the hope they would commit troops to Iraq instead.

Joshua Hammer, Newsweek's man on the ground in Jerusalem, wrote an article for Mother Jones entitled "Rachel Corrie: Martyr, Idiot, Dedicated, Deluded." It starts off bad and goes downhill from there. Recently, Pham Nguyen wrote a detailed rebuttal exposing Hammer's article as a fraud, little more than an elaborate plagiarism pieced together from a motley assortment of rightwing websites, together with unsubstantiated innuendos, falsehoods, and uncritical quotes from israeli military PR people. Mojones gave this article prime space in their last issue, with Hammer's inflammatory, eye-catching title blaring from their front cover.

Bad faith anti-imperialists, "cruise missile leftists," and Tibet
Recently, the controversial remarks of the Dalai Lama demurring on the subject of post-invasion Iraq have occasioned the usual flurry of ultraleft -- usually Maoist inspired -- diatribes against the Tibetan freedom struggle and the Dalai Lama himself. The arguments are old, tiresome, and fairly easily refuted: They include such nonsense as "the Dalai Lama is a CIA agent," "the Tibetan people are grateful to the Chinese for being liberated from brutal feudalist landlords," and other such claptrap. Unfortunately, these and similar arguments are evidence of the logical inconsistency, sloppy ahistoricity, immorality, and sad irrelevance of much of what still passes for "leftism" today. New Left Review has published an excellent rebuttal of these sorts of "leftist" anti-Tibetan polemics, in the form of a criticism of a recent essay by the revisionist "progressive" Chinese writer Wang Lixiong acting as apologist for Chinese atrocities against the Tibetan people.
