Black Activists Condemn NAACP Resolution Against Tea Party Movement.“As a frequent speaker at tea party rallies around the country, I can assure the NAACP that the tea party movement’s concerns are about President Obama’s policies and not his race,” said Project 21 fellow Deneen Borelli. “I’m deeply concerned that the NAACP is being used as a political tool to do the dirty work of the progressive movement. Instead of criticizing tea parties, the NAACP would be better served denouncing the racist comments made by a member of the New Black Panther Party and their voter intimidation outside a Philadelphia polling place in the last presidential election.”

Obama and Afghanistan: America’s Drug-Corrupted War.The determining factor is less likely to be either the will of a reluctant president, or the reigning strategic doctrines of the Pentagon, but a third factor: the dominant mindset in Washington of a drug-corrupted war machine.More about this here.
HT:Israel Matzav.John R. Bolton: Beyond the Obama Nuke Policy.As Tehran and Pyongyang can plainly see, President Obama's nonproliferation strategy is intellectually and politically exhausted.

It's Unanimous! GOP Says No To Unemployment Benefits, Yes To Tax Cuts For The Rich.Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl has raised eyebrows by insisting that emergency aid to unemployed people -- what he called a "necessary evil" -- be paid for through either tax hikes or spending cuts, while the tax cuts (which mostly benefit wealthy people) not be offset in any way.
