Base-closure panel finds overestimation of savings

The final Base Re-alignment and Closing Commission report has been sent to the President. The final version notably maintains Ellsworth AFB of South Dakota as a going concern. Hopefully, the report is accepted.

The Pentagon overestimated savings from base closings by $30 billion and some of its plans for streamlining the Army, Navy and Air Force might have made the services less efficient, a federal commission that reviewed the process said yesterday.

With its five months of work complete, the Base Realignment and Closure Commission voiced its concerns even as it approved roughly 86 percent of what Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld recommended as he sought to save money by getting rid of extra space in the domestic military network. That's on par with previous years, when commissions changed only about 15 percent of what the Pentagon proposed.

While the storm rages over just how much the Katrina aftermath will affect George Bush's poll numbers, here are a couple of forward looking stories. First, how many people really died? I was always suspicious of the 10,000 speculation. I...

Jews and Freemasons controlled war on Iraq, says No 10 adviser

What can one say about THIS stuff, except to seriously question Tony Blairs choice of an advisor. The Chief hesitates to call this Nazi apologist a moonbat - a far stronger appelation is in order!

One would hope after this that Ahmad Thomson, the Islamofascist in question, might lose standing with the Blair government, but since he's been spouting his brand of venom since publication of a book in 1994, this hope would be in vain, especially with government mouthpieces admitting no wrong:

A Government spokesman confirmed last night that ministers and officials consulted Mr Thomson on issues concerning Muslims but refused to be drawn on his views. "We talk to a lot of people, including many whose views we do not necessarily agree with," she said.

What insight can the Blair government be gaining from this Islamofascist?

Mr Thomson said: "Pressure was put on Tony Blair before the invasion. The way it works is that pressure is put on people to arrive at certain decisions. It is part of the Zionist plan and it is shaping events." Mr Thomson wrote a book in 1994 in which he said Freemasons and Jews controlled the governments of Europe and America and described the claim that six million Jews died in the Holocaust as a "big lie".

This has got to be the ultimate example of politically correct diversity run amok. What POSSIBLY could be credible from an openly published holocaust denier? It boggles the mind.

The Chief thought Blair had more on the ball than this, but then again, at heart he IS a socialist - and so it goes.

This from Robert Scheer, the LATimes version Paul Krugman. Instead of the much-celebrated American can-do machine that promises to bring freedom and prosperity to less fortunate people abroad, we have seen a callous official incompetence that puts even Third World...
