The hardcover version will be released November 5th, but the
Kindle edition of this fifth installment in the "Desert of Peace" series is available now. Neither LtCol
Kratman nor Duque Carrera will think much of my self discipline. When I get a
new Kratman book, I usually save it until I need an adrenalin and mood boost
from my non-fiction reading schedule, but I started this one the day I got it.
I plead that I'm old and unwell and wanted to be sure I finished it--a Kratman
novel is not to be missed. He started his writing career at "great,"
and like a fine craftsman, gets better with each new effort. Rather than a
sequel, this book runs roughly parallel to "The Amazon Legion," no mean literary feat. Having tried my
hand at a little fiction, and had trouble keeping my main character's name
straight, I am awed by Kratman's ability to weave almost unlimited strands of
the plot together. No one writes better military fiction depicting the horror
of close combat. Even better, Kratman has as superb grasp of weapons
development, training and logistics, and manages to make them integral to the
story. For many military fiction writers, these things happen by magic, like
the six-gun in the B-western that fires 50 shots without reloading. Kratman's
novels work as adventure escapism, but are even better for people with the
interest and G-2 to think about the philosophy and morality of war, why people
fight, and the issues confronting our country today. If you have read "A Desert Called Peace" and the
other entries in the series, you will get this book. If not, do yourself a
favor and start with that.
Must Read: 60 Minutes: Benghazi
Good reporting--a year too late.
~Bob. Excerpt: Although the attack began here, the more organized assault
unfolded about a mile across the city at a top secret CIA facility known as the
Annex. It lasted more than seven hours and took four American lives. Contrary
to the White House's public statements, which were
still being made a full week later, it's now well established that the Americans
were attacked by al Qaeda in a well-planned assault.
(Wow, this video from the TV program leaves no doubt as to how fantastically
badly everything was mishandled in Benghazi .
I recommend this be sent out far & wide. All Americans should understand
how miserably our "leaders" failed our people after leaving them out
in a dangerous country, which both the Brits and the Red Cross had left after
being attacked. There is no excuse at all for this gross incompetence that led
to the deaths of four Americans, including an ambassador. And still those
really in charge have not be held accountable. After all... "what does it
matter?" --Del )

"I
Was All for Obamacare Until I Found Out I Was Paying For It." By Daniel
Greenfield
Excerpt:
You think that you’re getting a free lunch. Only to find out that you’re paying
double. Because free is expensive as hell. Middle-income consumers face an
estimated 30% rate increase, on average, in California
Excerpt: More than one commentator has remarked on the
puzzling way the Obama presidency has dealt with online technology. When it
comes to elections, the Obama campaign’s use of the Internet was state of the
art — doing what had never been done before. Yet when it comes to the ObamaCare
exchanges, the administration has been accused of
using ten-year-old technology — producing a website with defects that are
baffling to a whole generation of website designers. (David Friedman, I believe was one of the first
to point out this incongruity.) The short explanation, I believe, is that Obama
privatized his election campaigns, while he nationalized health reform. The
Internet aspect of his election campaign was managed by folks from Google and
other entrepreneurial ventures that were able to devise strategies unencumbered
by bureaucrats in Washington ,
D.C.
Lawmakers voice
concern over problems with HealthCare.gov
Excerpt: Lawmakers from both major political parties
expressed concern Sunday over the botched rollout of the federal health
insurance Web site, with two Senate Democrats saying the problems are serious
enough to justify delays to key provisions of the president’s health-care law.
(Nonsense. Only hostage-taking, terrorist, far right, Tea Party, GOP wackobirds
want to delay Obamacare. The problems are caused by too many people who love
Obamacare logging on. Or a YouTube video. Or global warming. Or maybe George
Bush. Everything will soon be fine. ~Bob)
The Seven Big Hurdles
for Obamacare in the Next Five Months. By Jim Geraghty, Morning Jolt
Excerpt: As we track the continuing problems of the
Obamacare site, and the continuing promises that it will be all fixed in a
jiffy, please remember that the initial explanation from the administration, that high
traffic was causing the site's problems, was absolute horse puckey. And the
folks running the site knew that excuse was horse puckey: ... With
every promise, pledge and earnest declaration to come, remember that this
administration's first response to the website's failure was to lie, to lie, to
lie, and then lie some more. (Worth subscribing to. ~Bob)
Data center glitch is
latest problem in 'Obamacare' rollout
Excerpt: A data center critical for allowing uninsured
Americans to buy health coverage under President Barack Obama's healthcare law
went down on Sunday, halting online enrollment for all 50 states in the latest
problem to hit the program's troubled rollout.
How Healthcare.gov
Could Be Hacked. (From those Tea Party nuts at Mother Jones!)
Excerpt: According to several online security
experts, Healthcare.gov, the portal where consumers in 35 states are being
directed to obtain affordable health coverage, has a coding problem that could
allow hackers to deploy a technique called "clickjacking,"
where invisible links are planted on a legitimate web page. Using this
scheme, hackers could trick users into giving up personal data as they
enter it into the web site, potentially placing Americans at risk of identity
theft or allowing fraudsters to file bogus health care claims. And it's not
just the federal exchange that has security problems.
NPR: Obamacare ‘Right Back in the Spotlight.’ By Dan
Holler
Excerpt: The big headline from USA
Today says it all: Democrats beginning to support Obamacare delays. Of
course, what the article does not say is that a delay of Obamacare is exactly
what conservatives have been demanding for months. The intrepid reporter also
forgot to mention President Obama’s refusal to discuss even a miniscule delay
caused parts of the federal government to shut down.

people have been hurt by Obamacare:
Obamacare headaches:
More than the website. Politico
Excerpt: White House officials insist all will work once the
website is up, running and easy to use. But the intensity of the national focus
on the website has saved them from having to answer questions about other potentially
damaging issues that have arisen either outside the virtual confines of
healthcare.gov or in conjunction with troubled portal.
Mostly, those problems are a matter of pocketbooks and
politics.
Don't Delay
Obamacare, Let Democrats Hang Themselves. By Larry Kudlow
Excerpt: One huge political question surrounds the catastrophic
launch of Obamacare: Will the cancelled insurance contracts for millions,
terminated doctor-patient relationships, sticker shock from higher premiums and
deductibility, damage to job hiring and economic growth and the
administration's double-talk get the GOP off the shutdown hook for the 2014
midterm elections? That is the question. Donald Rumsfeld would call
it a known unknown. And right now nobody knows the answer. (I have had this
same thought for a while. Stop fighting it, no delays, just peaceful
watchfulness as it goes on the highway and the wheels start coming off. Just
leaving it along and letting it crash&burn is the simplest and smartest
thing to do. With some nicely phrased commentaries when the full extent of the
mess has come all the way into view. --Del )
David
Hogberg
Excerpt: Unless you’ve been living in a cave, you are aware
that many policyholders are receiving cancellation notices from their
insurance companies. Turns out that these policies don’t meet ObamaCare
requirements. But how many people have received these notices? Let’s do a
tally:
Excerpt: He predicted surprise and outrage over higher costs
and lesser coverage. “We will own this problem forever,” the Democrat wrote. From
that Democrat’s lips to God and the American electorate’s ears. But it’s not as
if the Democrats aren’t experts in blame-shifting.
Reagan's Daughter:
Why Am I Losing My Health Insurance?
Excerpt: Former President Ronald Reagan's liberal activist
daughter Patti Davis is asking just what many other people across the United States
want to know — why she's losing her insurance. "Could the president please
explain why I and others are losing our health ins. plans? Wasn't supposed to
happen!" Davis posted
on Twitter Friday afternoon.
Government
is Magic. By Daniel Greenfield
Excerpt:
Savages in suits, barbarians with iPads are certain that things will work
because they have appeased the gods of modernity with their fonts, they have
made a website that looks like a functioning website. And like the cargo
culters who built fake control towers expecting planes to land, they thought
that their website would work. Competence is built on the unhappy
understanding that things won't work because you want them to, they won't work
if you go through the motions, they will only work if you understand how a
thing works and then make it work by building it, by testing it and by
expecting failure every step of the way and wrestling with the problem until
you get it right. [Los Angeles

Excerpt: I just had the worst dream. I was standing center
stage, eager to unveil my fancy new website. I pressed the button; the website
crashed, and 7 billion people started laughing at me. Do you think Obama ever
had that dream? Nah, neither do I. Images like that spring from an inborn sense
of accountability, a drive to make good on promises and to earn genuine
respect. The last time Obama sought to earn genuine respect was when he
invented "roof hits" with his pot-smoking Choom Gang.

Excerpt: Two children are found dead in burning house; their
aunt left them home alone and stated she was concerned about whether her “food
stamps got burned up." (I wonder if her free Obama-phone was in her purse,
too. --JB).
Excerpt: There are things that Obama just doesn’t

to foreign policy as a website that works is to online health care enrollment,
but Obama has given every sign of not understanding the concept of alliances.

Obama’s Military Purge. By Arnold Ahlert
Excerpt: Is the Obama administration in the midst of a
military purge? This year alone, nine senior commanding generals have

German Power-Price
Swings Threaten Growth Engine: Energy Markets
Excerpt: The lack of clarity on Germany ’s
energy policy is creating the most volatile power prices in seven months,
boosting costs for industry in Europe ’s
largest economy. ... Merkel has said changing the renewable-energy law will be
her first priority after securing a third term. Her plan to source at least 35
percent of the nation’s power from mainly solar and wind by 2020, compared with
23 percent now, has pushed residential bills to more than twice the amount that
utilities pay to deliver the electricity, as taxes and charges that subsidize
the plan inflate prices, according to BDEW, a Berlin-based lobby group.
How Debt Ceilings
Increase Debt
Excerpt: A debt ceiling may seem like a good way to
constrain out-of-control government, by focusing attention on the federal
deficit and the resulting debt increase. (For the record, the United States debt recently
surpassed $17 trillion.) But that focus draws attention from the underlying
problem: too much spending. Debt ceilings also provide a false sense of
security. Borrowing will never get too far out of hand, the thinking goes,
because the ceiling will cap it. Yet the U.S. debt hits the debt ceiling
time and again because the federal government runs chronic deficits. This
addiction to overspending has forced Congress to raise the debt ceiling more
than 90 times during the past 70 years, and 15 times since 1993 alone.
Excerpt: Let's look specifically at the potential impact of
Obamacare on the supply and demand of labor. On the demand side, the health
care law requires employers with more than 50 workers to provide health
insurance to all full-time employees (defines a full-time job as 30 hours or more
per week) or pay a $2,000 penalty per worker. In that sense, the law increases
the cost of current and future employees. It also gives businesses an incentive
to hire more part-time workers to avoid the costs of providing health insurance
or paying the penalty for full-time employees.
Syrian Kurds capture

Excerpt: Syrian government forces retook a Christian town

Excerpt: The Economic Times writes the “high-ranking” NSA
official spoke to Bild am Sonntag on the condition of anonymity, saying the
president, “not only did not stop the operation, but he also ordered it to
continue.” The Economic Times also reports the official told Bild am Sonntag
that Obama did not trust Merkel, wanted to know everything about her, and thus
ordered the NSA to prepare a dossier on the politician. The account could mean
difficulties for the White House, given another report claiming Obama told Merkel
during a telephone conversation last Wednesday he was not aware of the NSA’s
spying. (I feel like I’m watching the same film clip over and over from GWTW,

people’s heads, an AP photo shows.
Dear Mr/Ms. Mexican invader, While I'm not in favor of
granting you amnesty in any form, I do understand your pain. You are terribly
frustrated with your promised savior, Barack Obama, and are not just a little
angry that he's failed to deliver the American citizenship which you aspire to.
Well, let's get that issue out of the way immediately; Barack Obama has failed
to deliver on any of his promises, whether it is universal gay marriage, or
full employment and a robust economy, or in your case, a green card. So, let's
just call Obama an equal opportunity heart-breaker, huh? Okay, I know that does
nothing to quell your anger. You see, you come from a country where no laws are
honored and obeyed, you come from a country so thoroughly corrupt that, to even
get a telephone hookup, or your gas turned on, you've got to pay a bribe to
someone. Your justice system is the best that money can buy; if you have enough
you can walk away from murder and mayhem. And your country is rotten because
her citizens, you, gave up on it, walked away...and even imported those same
values to this country by buying entry with a pack full of marijuana or a box
of kid-killing crystal meth on your back.
Excerpt: What would you call a 33-year-old man who both had

Should Doctors Relax the ‘Dead-Donor
Rule’ to Increase Organ Transplants? Should the terminally ill be
allowed to end their life by donating their organs
Excerpt: There were two opposing articles in a recent
edition of the New England Journal of Medicine about the ethics of
transplantation. For a number of years the supply of organs for transplant has
not equalled the demand, and one way of meeting it would be to relax slightly
the rules governing the removal of transplantable organs from donors. At the
moment the dead-donor rule (known as the DDR — an acronym that for me still
brings first to mind the German Democratic Republic) prevails, according to
which the donation of an organ must not kill the donor.
Excerpt: Oh, yes, the man is the biggest presidential liar
of my lifetime, far bigger than Nixon and Clinton who lied out of
self-protection. Obama lies, and constantly, about substance that affects the
lives of the American people. He started it all by pledging during his first
campaign his administration would be the most transparent in history. That was
the mother of all whoppers.

paralysis, some of which could be positive for polio, in Syria ’s
Deir Al Zour province. Now UNICEF and the World Health Organization are taking

Anti-EU Alliance Takes Shape, Warns of Soviet-style

is coming together in an effort to preserve national sovereignty and
self-government while putting the brakes on uncontrolled immigration. Led in

the budding anti-EU alliance is already being viciously demonized in the

How Adolf Hitler

blame for, things that have little if anything to do with them and are beyond
their control.
Jews
and the People Who Love Them. By Janice Fiamengo
Excerpt:
It may be that my initial love of Jews, based as it was on little more than a
feeling, an impression, could be said to have been as irrational and
inexplicable as the Jew-hatred that many feel who have themselves known no Jews
(as Solway reports is the case in Japan and South Korea,
for example). On the contrary, I believe it was quite explicable and
defensible, and has been abundantly confirmed as I have come to know Jews: it
was a simple recognition of a brilliant, resilient, life-affirming people whom
it is abundantly good to have in the world. I cannot help but feel now
that Jew hatred is a perverse recognition of that fact—that Jews are indeed a
source of light, and that some people hate the light.
The Launch of the Freedom Academy. By Victor
Davis Hanson
Excerpt: Today launches the Freedom Academy®, a
project some 18 months in the making. In the present age, we need a meeting
place where people can rediscover what freedom entails and appreciate the
origins and role of liberty. The majority of Americans yearn for a rebirth of
these values that have sustained Western civilization, and birthed the American
experiment. Such reverence for our heritage and origins is why we at PJ
Media will offer a variety of ways to understand our present dilemmas through
an appreciation of past ideas and events.
