IWC Moratorium on Whaling Stands!


Hooray!
“We now call on governments to work together to ensure the moratorium is implemented fully and effectively ending commercial, and so-called scientific whaling, which have no place in the 21st century. WDCS believes that the IWC has a strong future, but not one that legitimizes this cruel, unmanageable and unnecessary industry,” says Nicolas Entrup, spokesperson of WDCS in Agadir.
BOO!
Japan, Iceland and Norway continue to whale outside of the sanction of the IWC.
FUCK YOU, JAPAN! FUCK YOU, ICELAND! FUCK YOU, NORWAY!
One important item still to be debated is the demand by Demark that Greenland should be allowed to expand its hunt to include 10 humpback whales per year.
FUCK YOU TOO, DENMARK & GREENLAND!

Obama Did What Needed Doing...

...and said what needed to be said. (But I still think he should have demoted McChrystal!)

Why McChrystal MUST Be Fired

McChrystal MUST be fired, for two reasons:

  1. Civilian command of the military MUST be protected. That's what separates us from 3rd world countries. Any fracture in that foundation will severely weaken civilian rule of law.
  2. Anything short of firing McChrystal will make Obama look weak and as though he has no control over his generals. This would be an exceedingly dangerous position for a sitting Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces to be in. It will also only give truth McChrystal's statements.

Allowing him to resign will not do. Simply demoting him will not do. Obama MUST fire McChrystal (but a nice little demotion on the way out would really make a point that insubordinate generals will pay dearly for insubordination!)
