David Swanson, War Is A Crime, 'Congresswoman Barbara Lee, like Jeanette Rankin before her, bravely stood alone in Congress against a vote for war, the vote in 2001 for the so-called Authorization to Use Military Force, a Constitutionally dubious passing of the war decision buck to President Bush and his successors.... The Congresswoman, along with initial cosponsors Jones, Woolsey, Grijalva, Conyers, and Honda, is offering us a second chance, a chance to get our response to 9-11 right, to restore war powers to the Congress, and to impose the will of the people on that body.'

American Exceptionalism

William Fisher, Truthout: 'Virtually since the beginning of our Republic, we have been spinning a variety of narratives to reassure ourselves that we are the greatest nation ever invented and that no other comes even close. Professor Speth has produced an index that should embarrass the exceptionalists by shining a bit of light on those areas where we are not so exceptional..'

H. Patricia Hynes, Truthout: 'By every measure, the Pentagon is the largest institutional user of petroleum products and energy ... Yet, the Pentagon has a blanket exemption in all international climate agreements ... Any talk of climate change which does not include the military is nothing but hot air, according to Sara Flounders. It's a loophole [in the Kyoto Convention on Climate Change] big enough to drive a tank through, according to the report, 'A Climate of War.' At the outset of the Iraq war in March 2003, the Army estimated it would need more than 40 million gallons of gasoline for three weeks of combat, exceeding the total quantity used by all Allied forces in the four years of World War 1. Among the Army s armamentarium were 2,000 staunch M-1 Abrams tanks fired up for the war and burning 250 gallons of fuel per hour.'

RNN Senior editor Paul Jay speaks with Truthout contributor Jeffrey Kaye about his report that a whistleblower revealed that, prior to 9/11, senior military commanders blocked intelligence that located Osama bin Laden and predicted the World Trade Center and Pentagon were likely targets for a terrorist attack.

Way Worse Than Zero

Jack Rasmus, Truthout: 'Last Friday, September 2, 2011, the latest jobs report was released by the US Labor Department. It showed no jobs created for the month of August. Zero. Zip. The report confirmed the growing evidence that the US economy was on a track toward a serious economic relapse, at minimum, or a possible even worse double-dip recession. The stock market went into another tailspin. Bond markets globally reeled. Those trying to downplay the August jobs report noted the August numbers included 45,000 Verizon telephone workers who were on strike and who subsequently have returned to work. That would mean, apologists argued, there were actually 45,000 jobs created last month. Big deal. It takes 150,000 new jobs a month just to absorb new entrants into the labor force. It is important also to note that the 'zero' number was the very best of the various job numbers that might have been reported, not the worst. Other data show the August jobs situation was not stagnant, with no jobs created, but actually much worse. Here s why.'

Jobs Plan? End the Wars, Save 400,000 Jobs

Robert Naiman, Truthout: 'President Obama is preparing to deliver a major address to a joint session of Congress on Thursday, outlining his plans for spending and tax cuts to create jobs. Here s a plan that would likely save at least 400,000 jobs over the next ten years, without increasing the deficit or raising a dollar of additional revenue: bring the troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan as previously scheduled, and use the savings to reduce the debt in place of proposed cuts to Social Security and Medicare benefits - or other cuts in domestic spending.'

Bis heute fragen viele Skeptiker der offiziellen Theorie zu den Anschlägen von 9/11, wie es den mutmaßlichen Flugzeugentführern gelungen sein soll, die militärische Luftabwehr der USA zu überwinden. Neue Erkenntnisse zeigen nun eine mögliche Erklärung - die allerdings den amtlichen Untersuchungsbericht erheblich in Frage stellt.

Dina Rasor, Truthout: 'I see it coming. As President Obama gives his speech on how important it is for the government and the country to produce more jobs, and as the budget noose starts to tighten on all government programs, including the Department of Defense (DoD) this time, the DoD will flood the Congress with charts and statistics on how cutting the DoD will also cut important defense manufacturing jobs across the US. Each member of Congress will be notified about how many jobs will be cut for any given weapon system, and this is especially effective because the DoD has become the master of spreading weapon production contractor and subcontractor jobs across as many districts and states as possible to get the weapons funded in the first place.... As we drawdown troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, the defenders of the DoD budget, which unfortunately includes the new Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, will want to transfer any money saved back into their favorite endeavor: weapons production.'
