NEWSER) – Washington has abandoned a plan to open a consulate in northern Afghanistan after signing a 10-year lease and dishing out more than $80 million for the site, the Washington Post reports. American officials cited rising security concerns, but planners apparently overlooked problems from the beginning in a rush to prove America's commitment to Afghanistan. Among them: a feeble protective wall made of straw, mud, and manure, and surrounding buildings from which enemies could easily launch attacks.And this...
A top Marine commander warned the Pentagon that the building was unnecessary three years ago, but his concerns were ignored. The building was originally commissioned for the 2009 surge, but by the time construction began that push was over, and with the US now withdrawing, commanders don't intend to move in. "This is an example of what is wrong with military construction in general," the special inspector general for Afghan reconstruction told Chuck Hagel in a letter this week.Prior to 9-11, Cheney/Rumsfeld were busy negotiating with the Taliban for USA to exploit the Afghan mineral riches. They were not getting very far. So after USA was attacked by Saudi Arabians, we attacked Afghanistan. The Taliban offered to turn over Osama bin Laden, but for the powers that be, war is preferable to negotiations. We invaded. Now we are retreating in defeat, like in Vietnam.

The report was commissioned after a Luxembourg weekly newspaper published a secretly-taped conversation from 2008 between Mr Juncker and the head of SREL at the time, Marco Mille.
Mr Mille revealed that his staff had secretly recorded a conversation involving Luxembourg's Grand Duke and that the sovereign was in regular contact with Britain's MI6.

Mazzucato argues that long-term, patient government funding is an absolute prerequisite for breakthrough innovation. There is something seriously wrong, she says, with a system that asks taxpayers to take all the risk while the private sector takes all the rewardsThe article praises a book that follows that theme... The second part, that is that there is something wrong with taxpayers taking all of the risks and the private sector getting all of the rewards makes perfect sense.

They played by America’s rules. Now, with America’s blessing, they are being locked up by America’s friends in Egypt’s armed forces.
Nor is this the first perceived betrayal. When Hamas won the free elections demanded by George W. Bush, America refused to recognize their legitimacy and plotted the violent overthrow of Hamas in Gaza.
When Islamists swept the first round of Algerian elections in 1991, the regime, with the blessing of Bush 1, canceled the second round, leading to a guerrilla war that cost 100,000 to 200,000 dead.

A high-powered rifle lost in the ATF’s Fast and Furious controversy was used to kill a Mexican police chief in the state of Jalisco earlier this year, according to internal Department of Justice records, suggesting that weapons from the failed gun-tracking operation have now made it into the hands of violent drug cartels deep inside Mexico.Lost? Are LATimes reporters the only ones who do not know the facts? The guns were purposely let loose into Mexico for reasons we could know, but reasonably surmise to be for USA intelligence to prefer one drug cartel over another.
