Sacking McChrystal: Testimony to a Lost War
Nor can a change of command under a politically ambitious man, perhaps contemplating a 2012 run against Obama, using war as the way to the White House, win or lose in his new post. If successful, his popularity will soar. If not, he’ll exit early and blame a failed administration policy, saying as president he’ll turn it around, what won’t matter as long as voters buy it. Excuses can come later. For now, McChrystal’s out. Petraeus is in, Obama saying, despite setbacks and growing public doubts, his strategy won’t change.

The Real Enemies of the US
The enemy is people we know very well and people we can identify. The enemy is a system that wages war when it’s profitable. The enemy is the CEOs who lay us off our jobs when it’s profitable; it’s the insurance companies who deny us health care when it’s profitable; it’s the banks who take away our homes when it’s profitable. Our enemies are not 5000 miles away, they are right here at home. If we organize and fight with our sisters and brothers, we can stop this war, we can stop this government, and we can create a better world.

Medical News Reporting Today – It’s So Last Century
Winston Churchill once said that you can always count on Americans to do the right thing, once they’ve tried everything else. I only hope that we all wise up before it’s too late to repair the damages done to our bodies if we continue to shut out other healthcare professionals simply because those in the media shut them out of our news.
