It’s criminal that all those politicos and gasbags were on the “mainstream” air while the most important, courageous, urgent testimony had to trickle out via the IVAW website and KPFA. But three days’ worth of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans speaking out at the Winter Soldier 2008 conference are already archived and ready to stream or download. The table is set to break big media’s boycott of the horrifying, necessary truth delivered by some great patriots. Editors, program managers, and news directors of commercial outlets throughout the country deserve a call or twenty urging them to cover and broadcast clips from this historic event.

Hi, all, I will be doing the Book Salon chat at 5 pm (ET) today, so come by and discuss my new book on Iraq and the media. Over at E&P, I was among the first in the “mainstream” to promote FDL’s work on Plame etc. way back when……Greg Mitchell

I think many of the reserve figures for Oil are myths. Saudia Arabia won’t even fess up to what they think their reserves are.

This is a bit like Sadam trying to get cover by letting the world think he had WMDs.

But these companies like Shell have to have product to sell and as we reach / pass peak oil there is less out there to meet the growing demand. They can explore and try to extract expensive oil or they can just lie about what the reserves are to their shareholders.

They lie.

Like the snark!

But for those wondering, inquiring minds…

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is an alliance of 26 countries from North America and Europe committed to fulfilling the goals of the North Atlantic Treaty signed on 4 April 1949. In accordance with the Treaty, the fundamental role of NATO is to safeguard the freedom and security of its member countries by political and military means. NATO is playing an increasingly important role in crisis management and peacekeeping.

Actually not at all. Sleep apnea causes Hypoxia, which is causal to all those issues. The loss of oxygen is a true medical problem.
