Gerard Baker, Now what would a huge US bomb be aimed at?

The US Department of Defence has asked for an additional $88 million to modify B2 stealth bombers so that they can carry a 30,000lb bomb called the massive ordnance penetrator (or MOP, in the disarming acronymic vernacular of the military). The MOP is an advanced form of a “bunker buster”, an air-delivered weapon with an explosive capacity to destroy targets deep underground. Explaining the request, the Administration says it is in response to an “urgent operational need from theatre commanders”. What kind of emergency could that be?

There are signs up all over the U of S campus and a meeting is called for next Thursday regarding union leaders supposedly killed by Coke executives in South America. According to the website http://www.corporatecampaign.org/killer-coke/student.htm, York University, Michigan State University and others have banned Coke products on their campuses. I've searched this on Snopes and can't find anything.

Kate,

On yesterday's "It was 21C in Saskatoon Today" I wrote that a London Ontario High school was subjected to a Goracle type lecture entitled: "The Climate Wars" with it's premise of mass world population movements due to AGW that would affect food prod/water supply and that Canada will be swamped with illegal refugees in the future...

Well here's some more info:
- The Lecturer is non other than Gwynne Dyer
- The lecture was apparently presented free of charge at Oakridge High
- Last week, the presentation was also scheduled for Western U in London

So again, parents beware, especially parents of children going to High school or younger:

Gwynne Dyer is currently on tour doing a GW scarefest a la Gore/Suzuki just in time for Halloween.
If you care about your kids mental health you may want to advise the school principal to treat this in a fair way by offering counter views and/or pre viewing disclaimers like the UK judge requested after a complaint by a parent about "An Inconvenient Truth"

Thanks Israel for helping to make the world a safer place with another Arab nuclear facility obliviated. Photos here.

The striking difference in the satellite photos surprised even some outside experts who were skeptical that Syria might be developing a nuclear program.

"It's clearly very suspicious," said Joseph Cirincione, an expert on nuclear proliferation at the Center for American Progress in Washington. "The Syrians were up to something that they clearly didn't want the world to know about."

Dust My Broom is down, 'offline' Anyone know why and what is going on? www.dustmybroom.com

Re, the Syrian Facility .... that happened what? Back in the first week of September?
Bloggers had it covered with links to sat photos within day s of the event.

And the MSM is just now getting a handle on it!

Now ask a really important question.... why is Russia selling SAMs to Syria and Iran??
And why is the MSM NOT saying boo about it?

At Dust My Broom ...Darcey ... led a quick and effective campaign to shut down a Terrorist run web site that was hosted here in Canada.

Revenge by the Jihadis?

The next day Darcey posted a picture that showed explicit homosexual activity..... revenge by ???

Really does not make any difference.... there's been cyber attacks and attempted hacking at The Broom for quite a while.

This one worked for now....

OMMAG: I was just going to post the same thing. Dust My Broom is my second favorite blog! Hope Darcey and crew are back up soon!

Gwynne Dyer. Hmmm. The last time I saw this guy was in 1988, when I was at RMC. He argued then that alliances, like NATO and drawing on WW1 experience, inevitably lead to war. I remember the head of the History Dept, and others, glaring at him, with their "what an uninformed idiot" expressions.

Boy was he wrong!!! NATO, particularly Reagan-led USA, defeasted the Warsaw pact without general war, though shots were fired.

Everything is about conflict with this guy. So he's wrong again, no biggie.

The Palestinians are officially more creepy and evil than anyone, including the North Koreans...

California air regulators adopt new global warming standards

Car tires must be fully inflated, trucks fitted with aerodynamic devices and cargo ship engines silenced when docked at port under global warming proposals adopted Thursday by state air regulators.

The California Air Resources Board approved six new mandates that manufacturers, shipping and trucking companies will be asked to follow beginning 2010 as a way to help the state get an early start at cutting greenhouse gases.

The board also approved rules that nonprofit groups must follow if they want to get credit for growing trees or changing how private forest lands are managed to store carbon dioxide.

"We see a lot of proposals and schemes on paper to reduce emissions, but it's in California where rules are being put in place to reduce greenhouse pollution," said Bill Magavern of Sierra Club's Sacramento division who testified in favor of the regulations.

The new suite of global warming regulations coupled with three other initiatives adopted in June could prevent an estimated 16 million metric tons of greenhouse gases from going into the air, according to an analysis by the Air Resources Board.

That's about 9 percent of the target California is trying to reach under its 2006 global warming law to cut emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.

Atheists can be good, but people who believe in God are more likely to value being good, a recent study showed.
...
An analysis by sociologist and pollster Reginald Bibby of the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada, addressed the question "Do people need God to be good?"

Polling 1,600 Canadians, the nationwide survey found that those who believe in God are consistently more likely than atheists to highly value such traits as courtesy, concern for others, forgiveness, generosity and patience. Believers are also more inclined to place high value on friendship, family life, and being loved.

"To the extent that Canadians say good-bye to God, we may find that we pay a significant social price," Bibby concluded in the study.
...
"There are some forms of religion that are pathological, that damage people. For every one of these atrocities which must cause all of us deep concern, there are 10,000 unreported acts of kindness, generosity, and so forth arising from religious commitment," McGrath argued.

Nearly half of Canadians (49 percent) say they definitely believe God exists and 33 percent say they think He exists; 11 percent have doubts and don't think there is a higher power; and 7 percent say they definitely do not believe God exists.

US and Israel vs. Iran and ElBaradei, plus the Turkish-Kurdish and Syrian complications.

Interesting article, Charles. While Iran can be deterred from developing and using nuclear weapons, the real danger is sharing that technology with terrorists, or using proxies, such as Hezbollah and Hamas, by sending them on terrorist missions in Israel, North America and Europe. Iran has always used intermidiaries for their aggression, so they could maintain "plausible deniability." We must up the ante and inform Iran that plausible deniability will not be acceptable. If reasonable preponderance of facts leads to Iran dirty tricks, then they must suffer the consequences.

The Iran situation shows the need to rethink military doctrine. While soldiers will always be trained as infanteers, the efficacy of large standing military forces is waning. Highly mobile and technological forces, able to strike surgically on a moment's notice, backed with accurate real-time intelligence (requiring infiltration) will work best, of course backed up with option of massive military forces.

Make sure the leadership of Iran, and many others, understand that we will rejig our military forces, and therefore responses, to their adventurism, to knock out their capability and personally target THEM(not their martyrs), if their actions deem that necessary.

I'll await the usual anti-military, Bush-war anti-Semite reactions to my suggested change in doctrine.

Lockheed Martin is planning on building a commercial spaceport in Nova Scotia Canada. The details are a bit shaky, but apparently the project is serious enough to attract 45 million dollars from the Federal government. The launch pad will specifically be built in Cape Breton, a mostly rural island characterized by low employment, thick colloquial accents, and kitchen fiddle parties.

Sounds good to me, Shamrock. The open question is Israeli participation in any special forces operations inside Iran. It may be that they'll concentrate on Syria (as well as Hezbollah and other Iranian proxies in Lebanon), leaving Iran to the British, Americans or Australians.

Dion said on Mike Duffy today that once we see the Liberal platform, whatever it is, we will love it and it will be greener and blah blah.

But, guess who Dion said is writing this so called genius platform?????

Scott Brison!!!!!!

OMG. Probably with a financial plan by Garth Turner!!!! All that's missing is Hedy Fry on "reasonalbe accomodations" and Joe Volpe on accountability!!!!

No wonder Liberals don't know where they stand on anything. Scott Brison hasn't told them yet.

The Atlantic Monthly magazine published their 150th anniversary issue this month. It has a lot of interesting articles: the state and function of the US Navy in the 21st century; an amusing piece from PJ O'Rourke on historical US statistics; a scathing piece from Caitlin Flanagan on why she used to love Hillary Clinton, but now, not so much; finally, a piece from Tom Wolfe on Thomas Jefferson's "pell-mell" dinner for the new British ambassador.

But the reason to buy it is the first section, called "The American Idea". Some 40 small essays (most are only 3-4 paragraphs) from a variety of writers describe their vision of the America idea. I didn't agree with all of them, but some were quite thought-provoking, and nearly all were interesting.

And interspersed throughout the magazine are brief excerpts from past writers in the Atlantic. Longfellow, Thoreau, Emerson, Teddy Roosevelt, Wilson, FDR; what other magazine can boast such an imposing resume? Highly recommended.

Uneven abilities led to erratic Charter decisions, judge says
KIRK MAKIN

The early years of the Charter of Rights were marked by erratic decisions rendered by judges with uneven intellectual abilities, the Ontario Court of Appeal's most senior judge said yesterday.

“The Charter had given constitutional jurisdiction to every mutt in the country,” Mr. Justice David Doherty told the Criminal Lawyers Association annual conference. “The first thing that had to be recognized is there was going to be a huge spectrum of intellectual ability addressing these very important questions.

“The results were consequently going to be all over the place,” said Judge Doherty, a senior prosecutor in Ontario's Crown Law Office when the Charter came into being in 1982. ...-
