Zinni is a raving, complete idiot. And has been for well over a decade.

How come all the self-appointed “experts” in Global Warming are EX-military, or EX-political, EXperts?

True climatologists do not agree with this Chicken Little chickenstuff, but they are being ignored.

Point One: The climate of Earth varies. We are still recovering from the last ice age.

Point Two: Earth reaches a balance between energy input and outgo. The so-called “Global Temperature” depends on that, but nothing that feeds into the equation is a constant. The sun is increasing in output, the atmosphere changes daily, and man’s effect on the whole is swamped by the actions of insects.

Point Three: Anyone with an iota of faith in the wisdom and benevolence of providence will see this as an upstart apoSTATE religion, and reject the rejection of the Creator.

Point Four: Even if the premise were anything but flawed, the proposed solutions will do NOTHING to ameliorate any effects. All proposed suggestions or demands actually make matters worse, not better.

Point Five: If a scientific action needed to be taken, it would most likely have to occur in space, not on Earth.

Point Six: The most effective thing to do on Earth immediately is to pull out all the stops to building nuclear energy electrical generators as quickly as possible, but that, like real climate science, is totally ignored.

former U.S. Army chief of staff Gordon Sullivan

I wonder what percent of the time this guy spent leading troops into battle vs. sitting behind a desk at the Pentagon pushing papers around...

[Lancey Howard]

LOL, that scrappleface goes too far!

Are we Americans or Europeans? It's a decision that each of us should make, IMO.

Payvand's Iran News ...

Huge recovery in Iran's exports to EU
"The increase in Iranian exports was dominated by the rise in EU oil imports to eur 1.5 bn. It was led by Italy, Iran's biggest market, whose imports grew by eur 130 m to eur 500 m."

"As they age, they become as useless as modern poets."

HEY!

Global Warming

We’ve all been here before.
Too bad we don’t remember,
When succulent fruits were plentiful,
In northern lands of December.

They fear the sunlight; this I fear,
It’s not the warmth they dread,
But knowledge of a blessed Earth,
And people safely led.

The sanctuary of the heights,
And firmaments of faith,
Compel them to seek out the depths,
In shadows with their wraith.

Their efforts to sweep back the tide,
Will work, they sore believe it.
That wickedness gets washed away,
Their pride can not conceive it.

If we would only follow them,
They promise our salvation,
In downward spirals they propose,
But Hell is that direction.

wars over water

How much water do we import according to OMB?

Gen. Anthony "Tony" Zinni, President Bush's former Middle East envoy, says in the report: "It's not hard to make the connection between climate change and instability, or climate change and terrorism."

Javier Solona's mole inside the Administration speaks in line with the EU position. What a shock.

Seems like these same doomsayers were complaining about “ozone depletion” about ten or fifteen years ago. Weren’t we all supposed to be dead by now because of this?

Old generals never die. They just become climate experts.

What I find insteresting, and I would like to know the circumstances about his Combat Infantry Badge. That is an INFANTRY award, not armor. I’m sure its authorized otherwise it wouldn’t be on his chest, I hope.

[potlatch]

He’s having a “Heat Wave”, he certainly can -’Cann Cann’!!

[don’t know how to spell that!]

[Perdogg]

I guess that’s why they are “Ex” generals.

"Climate change exacerbates already unstable situations," former U.S. Army chief of staff Gordon Sullivan told Associated Press Radio.

"That was perfect Gordo. I think the AP actually believes that bull$hit was original thought. Next time give 'em the website address..www.chickenlittle.org."

It’s at the point where CNN could, if they wanted, produce retired generals to inform us that nationalized health care and a cabinet-level Department of Peace are now national-security priorities.
