Barack Obama furious at General Stanley McChrystal speech on Afghanistan - Telegraph

Barack Obama furious at General Stanley McChrystal speech on Afghanistan asking for 40 000 more US soldiers. Their relationship under severe strain. Gen McChrystal shocked and angered presidential advisers with the bluntness of a speech given in London.

The next day he was summoned to an awkward 25-minute face-to-face meeting on board Air Force One on the tarmac in Copenhagen. Gen McChrystal, who heads the 68,000 US troops in Afghanistan as well as the 100,000 Nato forces, flatly rejected proposals to switch to a strategy more reliant on drone missile strikes and special forces operations against al-Qaeda.

Some commentators regarded the general's London comments as verging on insubordination.

US credit shrinks at Great Depression rate prompting fears of double-dip recession

"There has been nothing like this in the USA since the 1930s. The rapid destruction of money balances is madness." US bank loans have fallen at an annual pace of almost 14% in the 3 months to August 09 (from $7,147bn to $6,886bn).. For the first time in the post- World War II era, we have deflation in credit, wages and rents and this is a toxic brew.It is unclear why the US Federal Reserve has allowed this to occur.

Russia and Poland trade insults on 70th anniversary of World War Two. Eastern Europe drawn apart? The history.

THE DIGNITY OF CEREMONIES TO MARK THE 70TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE OUTBREAK OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR IN POLAND IS BEING MARRED BY FURIOUS SPATS BETWEEN RUSSIA AND 4 EASTERN EUROPEAN STATES OVER THEIR RESPECTIVE WARTIME ROLES.

Russian media has aired a string of accusations against Poland, claiming that Warsaw intended to collaborate with Hitler in an invasion of the Soviet Union, and that Jozef Beck, Poland's foreign minister in 1939, was a German agent.

Moscow broadcasters have also claimed that there was a "German hand" in the 1940 Katyn massacre of thousands of Polish PoWs, an atrocity generally held to have been the exclusive work of Stalin's secret police.

On the morning, 4:45 am, of September 1, 1939, the German battleship Schleswig-Holstein ushered in WWII when it opened fire on the 180-strong Polish contingent stationed on Westerplatte

contentious Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, signed between Stalin and Hitler in August 1939. A pact of mutual non-aggression that lasted until 1941, it allowed Russia to invade and annexe Eastern Poland.

Dmitry Medvedev, Russia's president, also labelled attempts in the Baltic states, which were also invaded under the pact's terms, to equate Hitler with Stalin as a "cynical lie".

An open letter yesterday from Mr Putin, in which he appeared to strike a more conciliatory note.

"Our duty is to remove the burden of distrust and prejudice left from the past in Polish-Russian relations," wrote Mr Putin, who went on to describe the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact as "immoral", and also thanked Poland "from the bottom of my heart" for the 600,000 Poles who fought on the Eastern Front under Red Army command.

To politicians, ruling class in USA. Stop exporting jobs and industries to China.Comment.

TO POLITICIANS:

If you dont like your states forking out unemployment compensation, STOP THE JOB HEMORRHAGE.

We wrote and called you over twenty years ago about allowing US corporations to leave the country and still feed at the public trough, and ship their stuff back in here for free.

We warned you about allowing cheap, foreign products into the US cheap, while our stuff was taxed to the max overseas.

Did you do anything about it? …… NO!

We warned you about so many things……you got a lot of calls and letters and emails from us…….but you chose to turn your backs on the wishes of the people.

You did not create us……we created you. To represent us and our best interests. We pay for your wonderful healthcare covering your entire families, and give you a fantastic retirement pay and numerous perks. But, you refuse to do the will of the people. You bit the hand that fed you, gave you your start.

You interfered with normal bankruptcy laws by not allowing crook banks to go into normal bankruptcy and by rights should have had their charters removed and shut down…….and you illegally put that enormous burden of the cost on the backs of the taxpayers, 95% WHO TOLD YOU NOT TO VOTE ON THE BAILOUT.

Instead of focusing on your true job, you spend more time making careers out of your temporary jobs. You take bribe money and call it lawful. You are involved in deal making behind closed doors. The further you grow away from the ppl who elected you the more dangerous you become to the welfare of the nation. You now think you call the shots …….and ignore the will of the people who put you in office. You do the will of the people behind the largest bribes. If I had a lawyer like you……I would have fired your butt long ago.
