Oh, geez!

[A_perfect_lady]

Uh huh. Just like the over-population problem was supposed to create a catastrophe in the 1980s... gotcha.

It’s not hard to draw the correlation between climate change and terrorism???
OK, well maybe I’m just dense.
Please, Sir, feel free to elaborate and enlighten.

Anyone else wonder if Zinni is getting a tad senile?

"We will pay for this one way or another," writes Zinni, former commander of U.S. Central Command. "We will pay to reduce greenhouse gas emissions today, and we'll have to take an economic hit of some kind. Or we will pay the price later in military terms. And that will involve human lives. There will be a human toll."

No wonder Al Qaeda and the Taliban took over Afghanistan and were launching attacks against us on this clowns watch. Zinni is a dolt, marine or no marine.

Global warming poses a "serious threat to America's national security" and the U.S. likely will be dragged into fights over water and other shortages, top retired military leaders warn in a new report.

The warmer the general climate, the greater the rate of water evaporation from the ocean. This would invariably lead to more rain worldwide and a wetter climate. I learned this basic principle in elementary school.

“Booga! Booga!” (Dances around a fire.)
“Global Warming! We all gonna die!”
(Throws a powder on the fire. It flares up!)
(Falls on ground, screams like Dean and starts shaking)
“Bush’s Fault! Bush’s Fault! Bush’s Fault! Bush’s Fault!”

Announcer: Please give generously to ‘The Slap Sense Into Global Warming Worshipers Fund.” Poor pathetic victims like this will benefit from out expert weightlifters who will beat some common sense back into these losers.
Please help the SSIGWWF.

Yeah, the world should really miss our generation...not!

Old soldiers never die – they just get recycled of CNN. Of the thousands of retired generals, is nice to know that only a couple of them are idiots.

Sullivan served as Army Chief of Staff from June 1991 to June 1995.

Gordon R. Sullivan was born September 25, 1937 in Boston, Massachusetts and raised in Quincy. He was commissioned a second lieutenant of Armor and awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from Norwich University in 1959. He holds a Master of Arts degree in political science from the University of New Hampshire. His professional military education includes the U.S. Army Armor School Basic and Advanced Courses, the Command and General Staff College, and the Army War College.

Yes, AuntToenie Zeenie, it’ll probably be 200 degrees in Eye-taly next year. That’s just terrible, but we should be so vain as to believe that we’re doing the sun’s job. Don’t blame mankind. Blame your sun-god.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Oh, Goody! I can’t WAIT until California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico...and most likely Mexico band together and threaten Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Canada with Civil War over us not “sharing” our water from The Great Lakes. *Rolleyes*

Who are these washed up “generals” again? ;)

[rlmorel]

This is Scrappleface, right?

Right?

[Rokke]

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

[NicknamedBob]

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!

[familyop]

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."

wars over water

How much water do we import according to OMB?

[montag813]

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.
